Vietnamese silk painting emphasizes softness and flexibility, using silk as the background. Scenes often depict landscapes, pagodas, or daily life. Painting on silk is challenging as mistakes cannot be fixed. Vietnamese architecture was influenced by India, China, and its colonizers and includes French-style buildings. Woodblock printing uses natural pigments and layered rice paste to protect colorful folk art paintings. Water puppetry is performed behind a bamboo screen in a pond, using carved wooden puppets manipulated by rods underwater to depict traditional Vietnamese stories. Traditional Lao art includes weaving, embroidery, sculpture and architecture that incorporate Buddhist and regional influences and motifs through materials and designs. Significant Lao buildings include stupas, temples and the
Generally ethnographic museums represent the geographic, cultural or national other. Discussing reconciliation or peace as addressed in these museums can therefore be seen as an attempt to overcome dividing difference, to enhance congruence between different groups of people. The question is, however, a congruence on what and between who? Is it deliberation between conflict groups about the past and present, assimilation, nation-building processes or multi-culture the museum strives for?
This paper aims to emphasize the very sensitive relationship of state, nation and cultural narratives, narratives of difference and commonness, and its possible deliberation in a museum. The manifold understandings will be explored on the basis of the Kaesŏng Koryŏ Museum, located just over the inter-Korean border in the ancient capital town Kaesŏng in North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea). This museum is of particular interest for its location in the Koryŏ period Korean capital Kaesŏng, the first period of a unified peninsula. The unifying ideology of Koryŏ has been co-opted in North as South Korea for its evident parallels with the North-South unification rhetoric. Thus, the Koryŏ period remains exhibited in the Koryŏ Museum are carrier of meaningful associations for Korean reconciliation and even unification transmitted from the past into the present, the more so, as recent tourist tours for South Koreans allow access and deliberation of a shared history.
Five filmmakers traveled to Rjukan, Norway to produce a 10-minute creative documentary about the town's unique traditions and how its community has addressed the lack of natural sunlight. During their initial visit, they conducted research, formed relationships within the community, and sought interesting human stories to showcase rather than taking a strictly factual approach. They returned to further develop the stories that will shape their documentary about a place defined by its technological solutions to natural issues and attitude towards sunlight.

Genetically engineered agricultural practices aim to modify crops through intentional manipulation of genetic material to obtain desirable traits. While this promises increased and more nutritious food worldwide, concerns exist regarding potential allergic reactions and environmental impacts. Farmers have adopted genetically engineered seeds for benefits like reduced pesticide use, but consumers want clear food labeling regarding genetic engineering and additives. Overall debates weigh benefits of increased crops and nutrition against safety and environmental concerns.

Making History Meaningful with Heritage Fairs (North Van February 2014)GuyLafleur64
The document discusses Heritage Fairs, which are student history projects presented at regional and provincial fairs. Students research an aspect of local, provincial, or national history and present their findings. The goals are to give students a personal connection to history, provide a purpose for their research, and teach historical thinking skills. Heritage Fairs help students understand how their own stories fit within larger historical narratives. They also align well with inquiry-based learning and British Columbia's social studies curriculum.

Historical Thinking Skills in the 21st CenturyTutti Jackson
This document outlines goals and strategies for teaching historical thinking skills in the 21st century. It discusses defining history as a process of critical analysis and interpretation using primary and secondary sources to construct supported narratives. Key skills highlighted include differentiating sources, understanding bias and perspective, chronological thinking, and having students take the role of historians. A variety of activities are presented to model these skills, such as analyzing primary sources and considering how historical events might appear on social media. The document argues these "21st century skills" have long been practiced by historians and can improve history education.

The Guidelines For Public Library Accreditation by the Nebraska Library Commission, 2013 acknowledge that library services and programs are community-based and unique to each library. This means that knowing what a library plans is crucial to knowing if it has fulfilled its mission, and applications for accreditation under these new Guidelines will require a copy of the library’s strategic plan. Denise Harders and Sarah Warneke, Nebraska Regional Library System directors, and Richard Miller and Laura Johnson from the Nebraska Library Commission will discuss the importance of planning and introduce a new program they will be offering to libraries to make the vital activity of planning simpler and more immediate.

This document summarizes a research study that analyzed how current picture books portray Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott compared to a previous critique from 1991. The researchers examined 11 books published in the last 10 years and coded them based on how they depicted Parks' prior civil rights activism, segregation, and community involvement in the boycott. They found that while the books have moved away from portraying Parks as simply a "tired seamstress," they still omit important context and voices from the movement. The researchers conclude that teachers need to supplement books with primary sources to help students develop more accurate and complex historical understandings.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.

an experiment in urban exploration

2. What it is
• Blog focused on individual neighborhoods in
Brooklyn
• I plan to research and visit each
• The next neighborhood is chosen randomly
3. How it started
• Ignorance of Brooklyn history / geography
• Newfound free time
• Interest in writing
4.
5. Defining a “neighborhood”
• List taken from DCP’s website (80 total)
• Includes several “ghost neighborhoods”
– Mapleton, West Brighton, Plumb Beach
– CUNY’s Center for the Study of Brooklyn has 63
– More neighborhoods = more time
• Sought consensus on boundaries
– Neighborhood guides, books, Google maps
– Obviously, some people complained
7. Typical schedule
• Neighborhood selected
• Research at BPL’s Brooklyn Collection
• Write post on some historical aspect
• Visit neighborhood
• Write post on the visit
• Post more pictures
10. Choosing a historical topic
• Is the neighborhood’s general history available
online?
• If not, do it
– Most of the eastern neighborhoods
• If so, find something more specific
11. Visiting the neighborhood
• Plan route in advance
– Coverage depends on size of neighborhood
• Try to go on a nice day
• Modes: bus, subway, bike, walking
• Sometimes set up meetings with residents
12. Writing up the visit
• Usually in narrative form
• Illustrate with photos from the trip
14. Time considerations
• Researching
– Collecting and sifting through material
– Structuring and writing the post
• Visiting and photos
– Going
– Writing
• Upkeep on the site
– Tagging and captioning photos
– Making the site look nice
15. OK … so why might this be interesting
to OpenPlans?
19. Interesting anecdotes
• Brownsville was known as “Little Jerusalem”

• The original caretaker of Washington
Cemetery invented a “flying machine”
• Flatbush water was so bad there was a
celebration when it was shut off
20. Sobering realities
• White flight

• NIMBYism
• Murder, Inc. and the Mob
• Bias toward richer communities
– Politicians
– Media
