On unusually warm conditions for this time of year, Tura was part of a thrilling three-man breakout pack, including Galen Rupp (USA) and Eric Kiptanui (Kenya), that constantly jostled for positions in the final quarter of the race. But the Ethiopian had more to give, and kicked on from his rivals with 7km to go. The 24-year-old, who was not selected for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games this summer, finally showed some emotion and celebrated the victory with his arms raised before crossing the finish line. Local hero and 2017 winner Rupp finished +0.23 back in second, while Kiptanui held on for third.

Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Madonna and Child in a Garden, National Gallery of Art, Washington Cosimo Tura, The Virgin and Child Enthroned, mid-1470s. Oil and egg on poplar, 239 x 101.6 cm. The National Gallery, London. The Virgin and Child Enthroned, The National Gallery, London I first discovered Tura in London at the National Gallery so many years ago. The colors alone, this palette of pink and brightest of green, and then the three blues. Tura is a genius as far as color and unusual combinations. His stand on architecture is marvellous. His invention of scale and detail, yes detail, detail, detail. Here is the true believer in “more is more,” yet gracefully without being sloppy. I say he is about one hundred years before his time, his mannerist potential is so obvious. Cosimo Tura is certainly the Father, éminence grise, the earliest visionary of Mannerism. What about her head and face? What about the forehead? Again, a massive wonderful bald head, highlighted with an intricate hairstyle only starting very far back. Cosimo Tura, Madonna and Child in a Garden, c. 1460/1470, Tempera (and possibly oil) on poplar panel, 24 x 17 x 3 1/4 inches with frame. National Gallery of Art, Washington DC. He made and designed all sorts of decorative arts and jewellery. O.K., enough, enough, I could go on forever. This dark and unusual spot in art history has been and remains an obsession of mine. I am pleased that Isabella Stewart Gardener appreciated Cosimo Tura. The Circumcision, a tondo, was acquired by Isabella in 1901. This is enough for now . . . Home The historic Garo Labour Corps monument at Lower Babupara in Tura The A·chik Youth Welfare Organisation (AYWO) has written to the Urban Affairs Minister over what it called “serious discrepancies” in the tender allotment process for the controversial beautification of the World War I cenotaph in Babupara The project is valued at Rs 2 crore and has proven controversial as various civil society groups claimed that the state government had not carried out consultations with the general public ahead of the demolition of the original cenotaph alleged that the ‘earnest money deposit’ from one of three contractors nearly a month past the October 18 deadline set in the tender notice the document lacks the mandatory authentication of the CEO of the Tura Municipal Board,”further casting doubt on the legitimacy of the process.” These irregularities raise grave concerns about procedural violations lack of transparency and potential favouritism in the award of the contract The AYWO is therefore pushing for an impartial inquiry an immediate halt to the project until the investigation is completed disciplinary action against officials responsible for the “lapses” and corrective measures to restore public trust Read this week's magazine Students protest outside the entrance of NEHU Tura campus last year: HP Archives The current turmoil that is surrounding the North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) Shillong campus demonstrates the need for a full-fledged independent central university in Tura a Garo Hills-based organisation said today The United A·chik Socio Economic Justice Forum (UASEJF) said that it has reissued its demand for a separate university following the physical assault on a NEHU Shillong Assistant Professor though a campus has also been set up in Tura where a few courses are offered The UASEJF condemned the “barbarity” of the attack on the member of staff and said that in the past Garo students and those from elsewhere have also been made to feel uncomfortable due to the Shillong campus’ “volatile environment” The group called for a full investigation into the assault full-fledged status for NEHU Tura and a “decentralisation” of higher education in the state Sponsored link Adia Tamar Whitaker and Àṣẹ Dance Theater connected African villages to US streets There was a moment during this show when I sat in Dance Mission Theater and found myself thinking about, of all things, Taylor Mac’s A 24-Decade History of Popular Music One could easily argue that Adia Tamar Whitaker and Àṣẹ Dance Theater have created a two-hour-long speed-run through the history of Black music—from the villages Africa to the churches and streets of the US the only thing that changed was the choice of clothing The aforementioned creative entities are the ones behind Following the Road to Ose Tura The project is described as “Whitaker’s dance and music response to The Road to Ose Tura,” a dance film created by the late Efeya Sampson Officially referring to it as a “response” seems to connote that that show is some sort of challenge to Sampson’s work it’s a pretty overt tribute to the late artist and beliefs from the Motherland (she’s credited as co-creator of Following…) The show consists of multiple vignettes that were performed over three days at various outdoor locations around SF I had to imagine what site-specificity lent to the overall aesthetic as many of the works seem designed to be performed in the dark one has to wonder how easy (or not) it would be to follow the subtle narrative about accepting mortality as a part of life I caught the finale performance at Dance Mission which combined all the work from the previous three days into one show even I’d like to think I’d have been enlightened to a degree As our troupe gathered in the initial blackout one of the first things we heard was the plea “Will you help me die?” Initially shocking to western ears This was the first of many movements that regarded death as something to embrace but in the sense that it’s the logical conclusion to birth Consider that Ifá is one of the many African religions that travelled with the slaves across the Atlantic those African beliefs had to be hidden behind the Catholicism forced upon the slaves and later influencing practices like Día de Muertos death (in and of itself) is not something to fear This was combined with an Ifá story about a group of trees merging into one strong oak co-creator Whitaker wrote a Shayna Strype-animated short—which we watched—that uses this story as a parable for her own thyroidectomy.) Among all of this we were transported from one spiritual world to another drawing a direct evolutionary line between the dancing and singing in the villages to the Christian-influenced celebrations that have defined Black American gospel and worship as a unique entity unto itself dances of weak patients in hospital gowns with “shoulder pads” made of pill bottles There were projected films of prayer rituals in temples and on public streets We witnessed joy in the most morbid of topics without falling into nihilism All in a series of eye-popping costumes (for which there is Whitaker and Àṣẹ Dance’s tribute to Sampson and her faith was akin to one of the most joyful funerals one could ever attend It’s probably no coincidence that this final amalgamated performance took place on a Sunday when so much of the show acts as an under-the-radar history lesson for all the “joyful noise” gospel that has become the Black Church’s trademark Not being familiar with Sampson’s choreography I can’t say where it stops and Whitaker’s begins but perhaps the two are meant to be thought of as a fusion; akin to a child that is their own person Of the dancing—modern and folk—it was energetic, fluid, and well-complemented by the vocals and live musical accompaniment (which included a banjo, the staple of white Southerners that’s finally having its African origins reclaimed) The vocals jump back-and-forth from melancholy pleas to celebratory wails Even though the show (at two hours) goes longer than the 90min its creators planned it makes for an immersive experience (complete with audience movement to different areas at one point) that’s best experienced in-person Every tax-deductible donation helps us grow to cover the issues that mean the most to our community Become a 48 Hills Hero and support the only daily progressive news source in the Bay Area How this show had such low levels with so many bare faces in a stuffy theatre What I can say is that one of this year’s better theatre experiences was watching this physical tribute to someone I’ve never met The show connects centuries of African and Black American faith and dance into a glorious hybrid that bursts with life and color at every moment the point of the entire show is that every ending is a welcome beginning to something new Sponsored link 48hills.org is the official publication of the non-profit San Francisco Progressive Media Center We are community supported journalism.

The Achik State Peoples’ Front (ASPF) has demanded the State government to shelve plans to shift the Government Printing Press from Tura there are ongoing attempts to displace the only Government Printing Press located in Tura “The Government Printing Press at Tura has historically served the entire Garo Hills region we have received verified and disturbing reports that the entire premises have been handed over to the Tourism Department without ensuring a suitable replacement or alternative infrastructure for the Printing and Stationery Department,” ASPF general secretary Bernita Marak said Marak in a letter to Chief Minister Conrad Sangma cabinet minister in charge of the department AL Hek and Tourism Minister Paul Lyngdoh pointed out that the press office and Accounts—was functioning in its original premises despite there was already a serious shortage of storage space for raw paper forcing staff to stack materials in corridors This not only presented a disorganized image but also risked damage to essential materials and safety risk for staff While the department has been forced to shift and operate from the old Orchid Lodge building under temporary and grossly inadequate arrangements the space provided is unsuitable for operating machines or storing printing materials and cannot accommodate over 80 staff members – effectively rendering the press non-functional Stating that only a few machines will be functional after the relocation despite the fact that the printing operations are a highly coordinated team effort requiring both skilled human resources and a full complement of industrial machinery the ASPF said partial functioning will paralyse productivity the press operations require a 100 KVA transformer and a 100 KVA generator for backup during emergency printing tasks and therefore shifting and re-establishing proper industrial-grade electrical and internet connections is critical for safe A hasty move into an unfit temporary facility will jeopardize both safety and service delivery The ASPF also said that the promised construction of a new Printing Press complex reportedly planned near Holy Cross Hospital Tura to be funded by the Tourism Department we were categorically informed that no funds have been sanctioned nor is there any concrete timeline or plan for implementation,” it added Expressing shock that the machinery and materials of the Tura Printing Press are allegedly being shifted to other district headquarters the ASPF said this signals a backdoor effort to dismantle and relocate the press out of Garo Hills vacancies arising from the retirement of Garo Hills-based employees are being deliberately left unfilled in stark contrast to other regions where posts are immediately replaced – reflecting systemic bias against local candidates This glaring disparity in recruitment only strengthens our suspicion of a larger systemic neglect of Garo Hills The group wants the government to provide an official assurance and written commitment that the Press will remain in Garo Hills and that status quo will be maintained and urgent construction of a permanent and fully-equipped complex in Tura with all necessary infrastructure and storage as well as immediate filling of all vacant posts with qualified local candidates to ensure employment opportunities for the Garo community and smooth functioning of the department Asking the Tourism Department to immediately release funds and begin the construction of the building as per the agreement made the ASPF said that the project should be executed within the current financial year with regular updates shared with public representatives and civil society while the temporary arrangement at Orchid Lodge be immediately upgraded to support full-fledged operations “We want to re-emphasize that the people of Garo Hills will not remain silent in the face of this gross injustice Should these demands not be fulfilled in a timely and transparent manner the ASPF will be compelled to launch a region-wide democratic agitation The ASPF said it will not allow marginalization or institutional dismantling in Garo Hills “The Government Printing Press is not just a building; it is a symbol of regional equity and representation of the people of Garo Hills And we demand immediate government intervention with transparency,” the group
