An antique is defined as an object that is at least 100 years old that has cultural or historical significance due to its design, beauty, craftsmanship, or other unique features. Antiques are usually collectibles like furniture, decorations, or early automobiles that are purchased at antique shops, auctions, or estate sales. The definition of what qualifies as an antique can vary depending on the item or year, but generally refers to objects that are over 100 years old and have cultural value.
Art in a Time of Chaos Ancient Treasures Come to China Institute
The China Institute has opened a new exhibit titled "Art in a Time of Chaos: Masterworks from Six Dynasties China" featuring over 100 ancient sculptures, ceramics, paintings and calligraphy works from the 3rd to 6th centuries. Many of the pieces were excavated from tombs and represent a turbulent political time in China that also saw great cultural and artistic achievements. The exhibit spreads across five rooms decorated to showcase the neutral-colored artifacts, including ceramic vessels, figurines meant for tombs, and sculptures depicting foreigners and Buddhas introduced during this period of foreign trade.
Determining the Bruges origin of some sculptures in the Gruuthusecollection: ...
The Archeological Society of Bruges began collecting sculptures in 1865 to preserve artifacts from the medieval past. Their collection records sometimes provide limited provenance information like the name of a religious order or guild that can provide clues to an object's origin. Determining the origin of sculptures is challenging when no provenance is recorded or when historical sources have been destroyed by events like iconoclasm or wars. Researching related works and published books can also help establish if a sculpture originated from Bruges.

The revival of americas first urban parks
Cemeteries were the first urban parks in the US in the early 19th century as church graveyards filled up. Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts set a trend of "rural cemeteries" on city outskirts that provided green space. However, as attitudes toward death changed and dedicated city parks emerged, cemeteries fell out of favor. Now, facing space constraints and fewer burials as cremation rises, cemeteries like Green-Wood in Brooklyn are reopening their gates and embracing public uses like yoga, movies, and music to stay relevant in their communities.

IRA SIG Deaf HH newsletter 2012
This document summarizes research on an emergent literacy intervention called "Adapted 'Little Books'" for deaf children. The intervention uses simplified storybooks and sign bilingualism to help deaf children develop early reading skills. Twenty-five deaf children between ages 4-10 participated in the intervention over 14 months. Assessments found that the intervention improved the children's early reading concepts. The intervention incorporated parent involvement to support literacy development at home. Visual tools like drawing and writing also aided the children's emerging reading abilities. Overall, the research suggests that adapted storybooks and sign bilingualism can effectively promote emergent literacy for deaf children.

This document summarizes a study on the use of translation during guided reading instruction with deaf students. The study examined how first grade deaf students at a school for the deaf translated between American Sign Language (ASL) and written English at different linguistic levels, from individual words to full sentences, while participating in guided reading sessions. Teachers guided students through leveled texts and students were videotaped signing their translations. Researchers analyzed the videos and identified 5 levels of translation used by students, from fingerspelling words to using multiple signs for multiple words. Overall students used translation infrequently but increased use of higher level translations with more difficult texts. The study provides insights into how translation supports reading development for deaf students.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Cemetery Motif
- 1. Analyzing Gravestone Motifs: Changing Attitude Towards Death
- 2. Plain Style Motif* • Time Period: 1640- 1710 • Attitude: “resignation” • Characteristics: name, date, little or no decoration • Reason: few tools, skills or money * a decorative design or pattern
- 3. Death’s Head Motif • Time Period: 1670-1770 • Attitude: “fear” and “religious reverence” • Characteristics: human skull, wings, name, dates • Reason: In New England the Puritan religion was popular and emphasized a fear of death that focused on the deceased’s chances of getting into heaven
- 4. Cherub Motif • Time Period: 1740-1820 • Attitude: “confidence” • Characteristics: human face, wings, name, dates • Reason: Between c. 1735-1750 the Great Awakening (a religious revival) changed attitudes towards death from the grim Death’s Head to the more optimistic, angelic cherub
- 5. Urn and Willow Motif • Time Period: 1780- 1850 • Attitude: “mourning” • Characteristics: drooping tree, urn, name, dates • Reason: Sorrow for the death of a person
- 6. Monuments • Time Period: 1840-1920 • Attitude: “defiance” and “wealth” • Characteristics: large shapes, statues, sculptures, columns or crosses, accomplishments, names, dates • Reason: To remind us, not of a person’s death, but of their past life
- 7. Garden Style Markers • Time Period: 1900- Present • Attitude: “denial” • Characteristics: small, flat, name, dates, little or no decoration • Reason: Does not draw attention to the dead; cemeteries resemble gardens or parks, not burial grounds
