![]() After graduating in 1926, Isabel briefly studied painting at the Art Institute of Chicago. When her father found their tin can and inadvertently dumped them into the ashes, it was reportedly the only time that Charles Scherer did not support his daughter's artistic endeavors.Īt the age of thirteen, Isabel's parents enrolled her in the Immaculate Conception Academy, a Catholic girl's school in Davenport. The children took the figures home and baked them in a tin can in the family's coal furnace. The following year her family, which included brother George and sister Mildred, moved to Davenport, Iowa, where her father became vice president and general manager of Davenport Machine and Foundry.Īlways a curious and creative child, Isabel began modeling with clay on a picnic where, along with her brother, she made small animals out of mud dug from a creek. It is a testimony to her optimism, curiosity and perseverance that throughout her life she said, "I never looked back, I am always pushing forward."

Throughout her 93 years, Isabel's blue eyes sparkled while her soft laughter punctuated stories of her family and her travels. Her belief that art should have a heartfelt, honest quality that she defined as "soul," was reflected in both her own sculpture and in the artworks that she collected. It ranged from her natural artistic ability, to her creation of original artworks and a successful sculpture business while raising a family, to over sixty years of active interest in and support of the Quad Cities art community. If in doubt, please ask first.Isabel Bloom was gracious and graceful, imaginative and intense, a truly original woman who lived by her own advice, "…know what you want and follow it."

![]() I have multiples primarily because I have the devices, Apple TV, Fire TV, a home pod and a pair of the Echo Studios with a sub, along with an Atmos capable home theater. Ive got a few other Apple services and it made sense at the time to get the Bundle with storage, Apple News TV and a couple of others. I used to have the paid version of Amazon Music also. (DI guys, if you are reading this, keepnup the good work!). I have tried Qobuz and Deezer, both pretty good, but I stayed with Tidal and DI.FM. It didn't sound as good as Tidal (tried the same songs in their highest quality), they pretty much wanted me to listen to anything that is trending that I don't give a f, and their collection of electronic music was the smallest of all the services I have tried, small enough I could manually count them. I tried it before it became part of Prime and I immediately canceled it. I also have YTM because of YT Premium, I only use it to listen to music that is almost impossible to find anywhere else, like anime or videogame music.Īnd I also have Amazon music, but I never use it, it just comes with Prime. Many times I cannot find them, and that's why I am keeping both supscriptions. Sometimes I listen to a song on DI.FM and then look it up on tidal to see if it is available in HIFI or Master, if it is, then I add it to a playlist. I am only subscribed to Tidal Family HiFi Plus (via BestBuy because it is like half the price), and to Digitally Imported Radio (DI.FM) because I love electronic music, and although Tidal has a surpring big collection on the different genres of trance, nothing beats DI.FM with their live shows and expansive categories. While one officer tried to block rioters from entering the Capitol through a broken window, he fell to the ground, which was “covered in shaards of glass,” according to charging documents against a father and son that came to DC from Delaware.Īnother rioter warned police inside the Capitol that they should stand down if they didn’t want to get hurt by the mob of Trump supporters that was approaching, according to court papers.īodycam footage included in one criminal complaint showed the perspective of the police officers who were swarmed by dozens of rioters. “When he was deterred from advancing further into the building, Leffingwell punched me repeatedly with a closed fist.”Ī lawyer for Leffingwell did not respond to a request for comment. “Leffingwell attempted to push past me and other officers,” US Capitol Police Officer Daniel Amendola wrote in a sworn affidavit one day after the insurrection. One defendant, Mark Leffingwell of Seattle, was allegedly involved in a fistfight with police. But for the first time since the War of 1812, federal forces inside the Capitol found themselves engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Others simply meandered around the building and gawked at statues. Some participants in the riot were armed with bear spray and other weapons. Officers told CNN that they heard colleagues pleading for help, both for specific emergencies unfolding and for a big-picture plan to re-take the Capitol. “I just remember yelling out that I have kids,” he said.ĬNN previously reported that many US Capitol Police officers felt betrayed by their leadership, with officers left in previous positions throughout the attack, woefully unprepared and vastly outnumbered by the pro-Trump mob. The officer, Michael Fanone, previously recalled to CNN that he begged the rioters to spare his life. Separately, another group of attackers surrounded one DC police officer and repeatedly tasered him in the neck, causing a heart attack. A lawyer for Stager declined to comment about the charges. Stager told an FBI tipster that he thought he was attacking a member of the violent left-wing group Antifa, even though photos from the scene clearly show the officer wearing a police vest. ![]() On Thursday, prosecutors unsealed charges against a Michigan man who was allegedly involved in the same assault and used a hockey stick to pummel the officer. Court documents described a harrowing scene where the officer was dragged on the ground and surrounded by rioters. In another incident, Arkansas resident Peter Stager battered a DC officer with a flagpole that was holding an American flag, according to prosecutors. He told the Associated Press that his client got “caught up in the mob mentality.” Sanford’s lawyer did not respond to request for comment. The fire extinguisher struck three officers in the head, including one who was later sent to the hospital for medical evaluation. Prosecutors say a retired Pennsylvania firefighter, Robert Sanford, 55, threw a fire extinguisher at a group of police officers on the Capitol’s western terrace. He shouted into a bullhorn, “If you have a weapon, you need to get your weapon,” and “this is not a peaceful protest,” according to court documents. ![]() One Texas resident who is facing charges allegedly incited the crowd before entering the Capitol through a broken window. And the hundreds of pages of newly unsealed court documents are telling a horrifying story. At least 15 officers were hospitalized after the insurrection.įederal prosecutors have already charged dozens of people who allegedly participated in the riot, but the most serious charges have come against people involved in attacks against police. ![]() More than 100 other police officers were injured, including members of the Capitol Police and Washington DC’s Metropolitan Police Department. One US Capitol Police officer, Brian Sicknick, was killed during the melee. Some rioters threw punches, while others hurled verbal insults at police. Scuffles near broken glass led to scrapes and bruises. Officers were beaten with whatever the rioters had with them, according to court documents, including an American flag and a fire extinguisher. The unprecedented images spoke for themselves, but as prosecutors start filing criminal charges against pro-Trump rioters who attacked the US Capitol, new evidence is emerging of the horrifying scenes police officers faced while fighting for their lives that day.īody camera footage from DC police, testimony from law enforcement officers and social media posts from rioters all chronicled in federal court documents are painting a fuller picture of the hand-to-hand combat between law enforcement and supporters of former President Donald Trump during the violent insurrection that he incited on January 6. “I’ve heard lots of stories around Tulalip about the sexual abuse that was experienced, and then I’ve heard some really awful stories about how the father of the school would sexually abuse the children, and ended each time by saying, ‘This is love.’” “It was a lot of trauma inflicted upon them, like physical abuse,” said Stephanie Fryberg, a 1989 graduate of Marysville Pilchuck High School, now a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan specializing in trauma and Native American identity. She could hear the elders through the open door - she learned a lot. Stephanie Fryberg sat outside the room as her grandmother Rose Fryberg spoke with other survivors of the boarding school era. Not long ago, in the building where Moses received his Lushootseed lessons, school officials locked children in the basement for days for speaking it.Īs a little girl, Dr. Now, many descendants of former boarding school students are again growing up immersed in Native culture: rediscovering old ways of carving, weaving and storytelling rekindling Coast Salish traditions and resurrecting the once-illegal Native language Lushootseed. It was one of hundreds of institutions where teachers “ deployed systematic militarized and identity-alteration methodologies” on Native students to “ kill the Indian in (them), and save the man,” according to a national report released by the U.S. It was one of hundreds of institutions where children were torn from their parents and forced to give up traditional ways of life: their language, their family songs, their Native dress and anything considered “Indian.” For seven decades, the federal government funded or ran a boarding school here.

We are moving away from hiding everything away in cupboards, instead drawing inspiration from displays of china and silverware in glazed cabinets and on shelving, racks and dressers of grand houses – the end result sitting between the maximalist and minimalist styles,' says Merlin Wright, Design Director at British Standard and Plain English. 'In an age of uncertainty and with busy digital lives, people are increasingly nostalgic for a space to slow down and surround themselves with the comfort and security of tactile items and personal treasures. Thoughtfully designed, these visual spaces are carefully styled with artworks, decorative ceramics, cookery books and other curiosities, to achieve an instant lived in look – adding personality and resulting in a space that feels homely. Impress with statement lightingĪs pride in interior styling takes center stage, we have witnessed an increase in sales of glazed cupboards and opening shelving, following a growing demand for kitchens designed for a ‘curated’ look. 'The color in a kitchen – be it on walls or fittings – should last for at least five years, minimum, so try to look beyond immediate trends and choose a kitchen color scheme that will keep you feeling good long term,' he advises. Mark Wilkinson, founder of Mark Wilkinson Furniture, believes that the colors we choose automatically are naturally influenced by current fashions. In fact, no one knows for sure whether we all even see the myriad shades in the same way. Choosing color is such a personal experience. One of easiest and least expensive options is to change your kitchen styling or paint a wall because either can be easily updated should you tire of it. Start by deciding how much of a permanent commitment you are willing to make. Kitchens are rife with color opportunities, from appliances and flooring, to window treatments, kitchen tile ideas and cabinets.
