10 Surprising Scientific Inventions and Discoveries by Women
Cheryl Brite
April 20th 2016
Men aren't the only ones who can invent and discover things in the world. Women have made a significant impact in the world of invention and discovery throughout history. They have created inventions and discoveries that are still relevant today. Women were hardly recognized in the past for what they could contribute to the world. What an injustice? Here are women that should be acknowledged for their inventions and discoveries.
1. The Submarine Telescope - Sarah Mather
Sarah Mather gave us a view of the ocean floor when she patented the submarine telescope in 1845. If she hadn't patented this amazing invention, it would have never been acknowledged as hers. So before 1845 we didn't even know the ocean had a floor. How amazing is that? People thought that the ocean went on for days. Without Mather's invention of the submarine telescope, we would have been in the dark about the floor of the ocean.
It was originally used for inspecting boats. The submarine used a lamp like device that was placed on the glass globe of the submarine, which sunk in the water. From their boats people could see the hull and other details of the boat. If boats needed repairing, the submarine telescope was used to identify the problems so they could get the necessary repairs to function properly. With its ability to float under the water and its ability to use light, this telescope would still be useful today. It may have accidently discovered the ocean floor, but we are forever grateful to know more about our oceans.
2. The Windshield Wiper - Mary Anderson
Mary Anderson invented the windshield wipers in 1902. It figures that a woman would invent a practical accessory to keep away the elements from sticking to the windshield. We use it today on cars to wipe off snow, rain, and other debris. What would we do without this lifesaving function on our cars? Can you even imagine what it was like before the 1900's? Be very thankful for your windshield wipers.
In 1903 she was given a patent for this invention. Her invention came about in New York City when she saw drivers opening their car windows when it was raining to see the road. As a result she created this invention where a lever was used from the inside of the car to move the rubber blade on the outside of the car. The public wasn't so sure about this invention because it seemed to be a huge distraction for the driver. In 1916 it was used on most cars. She finally patented the idea in 1917.
3. Organism Discovery - Nettie Stevens
In 1905 Nettie Stevens came across an interesting discovery through several of her studies and found out that the sex of an organism was directly linked to its chromosomes rather than its environment. Whether we're a human male or female or any animal like a grasshopper, chicken, or bee, what lies deep within our bodies decides our fate and our environment is just an afterthought. Like most discoveries this one was met with some skepticism. What an amazing discovery? Imagine how controversial this idea was at the time. This idea paved the way for future scientists.
She was a geneticist and the first researcher to explain the chromosomal basis of sex. Stevens was acknowledged as one of the first women that contributed to science. To determine whether her discovery had any foundation, she used insects in her experiments. She found that the presence or the absence of the Y chromosome depends on the sex of the chromosome. Because of her research Stevens changed the fields of embryology and cytogenetics. Her discovery has no doubt influenced the world we live in when it comes to sex.
4. Radioactivity - Marie Curie
Marie Curie discovered Radioactivity in 1910, which is ironic because it was the very thing that killed her in the end. How tragic? I think we've all learned a lesson here to never carry around test tubes of radiation in our pockets for extended periods of time. It's a real hazard. In this case no risk no reward. Her discovery is still relevant today.
This discovery opened the doors to how scientists approached matter and energy. Curie also had an influence in paving the way for the knowledge of medicine and finding cures for diseases. Curie studied the rays of radium in the 1890's. She studied compounds with uranium in them and found out that if there were a certain amount of uranium atoms that there were a certain intensity of radiation. This was how the discovery of radioactivity began for Curie. She had used radioactivity to save the lives of soldiers by using this element to destroy the the diseased tissue in patients.
5. The Turn Signal Light - Florence Lawrence
Florence Lawrence invented the turn signal in 1914 and thank god she did or else we'd all be crashing into one another on the road. It makes you really think. How did people survive without the turn signal? Unfortunately she didn't patent the idea so she didn't receive credit for the invention. How awful is that? She invented this life changing device, and her name isn't even on it.
Before the turn signal, people would have to stick their hands out the car window and gesture with their hands. To signal left people had to put their arm straight out the window, to signal right people rested their had against the open window,pointing the hand to the sky, and to stop people had to face your arm downward towards the street. We still have to know these actions today to prepare for our driving test. In the past there was no relief from this until Lawrence came and changed the world of driving, forever. She came up with the first mechanical signaling arm as well as the brake signal. So we don't have to use our arms to signal and we can let people know when we're braking because of her.
6. Nuclear Fission - Lise Meitner
In the 1930's Lise Meitner discovered Nuclear Fission while involved in her work in nuclear physics. It goes to show that great discoveries come in the unexpected ways. Nuclear Physics, these two words alone intimidate me but Nuclear Fission occurs when the atomic nuclei splits into two, which led the way to the atomic bomb. Nuclear Fission has clearly made an impact in the world. She led the way for future scientists. This was a big discovery in its time.
Her discovery was overlooked by the Noble committee, probably because she was a woman. The personal opinions of men overshadowed what a difference she made in the scientific community with her discovery of nuclear fission. She did receive "Woman of the Year" in 1946 by the National Press Club and other rewards. Otto Hahn had been credited with the discovery of nuclear fission and given the Nobel Peace Prize when Meitner was the one who made the discovery. She made a significant contribution to the world of science, and she couldn't even be recognized for her discovery because of her gender. Well she's being recognized now in this article.
7. Frequency-Hopping - Hedy Lamarr
How could an talented movie actress invent frequency-hopping? This is a case of beauty and brains, and she was so much more than an actress. When she became bored with this profession, she turned to her interest in applied science. Hedy Lamarr co-created this invention with George Antheil that involves the switching of frequencies during radio transmissions. She patented the invention with her husband's last name in 1942. While this action doesn't seem like she's fully acknowledging her part, her invention led the way to Bluetooth and other technologies that we use today.
This discovery came to light during World War II when Lamarr was determined to help the war effort. She used frequency-hopping to stop the jamming of radio communication by the Axis. It was also used to guide a torpedo using the frequency-hopping technology, so the signal would not be intercepted. The discovery wasn't taken in until the 1960's by the navy. In 2014 she was recognized by her accomplishment when she was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. She was finally recognized for her invention and not for just being another pretty actress on the movie screen.
8. Lambda Bacteriophage - Esther Lederberg
In 1951 Esther Lederberg discovered Lambda Bacteriophage, a virus that infects bacteria. This virus impacted the medical world. It was something that needed to be acknowledged, so a potential cure could be made. As if bacteria weren't threatening enough, a virus comes along to make it worse but the bacteria does look like it's starring in vibrant, color film of horror. Although it seems harmless, it can do some real damage. We can't see it if we're not looking for it, and that's possibly the most frightening thing about this virus.
It is a rare virus, and its life cycle is complex. This virus contributed greatly to the invention of molecular biology. It originally came from E. coli. The Lambda is used in the creation of recombinant DNA in technology. The cycles within the virus help us understand the process of gene transcription. Lambda Bacteriophage was also used as a cloning vector, which is a piece of DNA take from a virus that can eventually be used for cloning purposes.
9. The DNA Double Helix - Rosalind Franklin
In the 1950's Rosalind Franklin discovered the DNA Double Helix while she was working on X-ray diffraction images of DNA. Images really do lead to real life discoveries that can change the world. This discovery is still studied today by scientist. Because of the DNA Double Helix, the medical world has a better understanding of the human body. It wouldn't have this understanding without Franklin's discovery. We know what it is, and what it can do.
The DNA Double Helix, known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that is double stranded in the shape of a helix. Each individual strand contains sugar-phosphate backbone and other base chemicals attached in pairs. Adenine (A), thymine (T), cystosine (C), and guanine (G) are four parts that create the stairs. These stairs are instructions for the host cell. This DNA code is complex and gives information to the organic cell. It maybe complex in its structure, but its discovery happened by chance.
10. Pulsars - Jocelyn Bell Burnell
They are now known as the "lighthouses" of the universe. The pulsar gets its name from how their emissions look like they're pulsating in space. In 1967 Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered these Pulsars, which are remnants of stars that become supernova. What an amazing thing to witness through a telescope or as an astronaut who is in the direct path of the Pulsar? It's one of the universe's most beautiful natural occurrences. The pictures online don't give this discovery justice.
Pulsars have a high magnetic element and move at great speeds. As you all ready know when a star dies, it becomes a supernova. This occurs when the outer layer of the star is blasted into space. The inner core of the star then contracts down with the help of gravity. The pressure is so much that takes away the bonds that keep atoms apart. In the end the star creates a blast of radiation that becomes a pulsar.

There are a number of benefits afforded by forming your business as a corporation; chief among these benefits are the protections from personal liability and asset seizure that are offered to the owners/shareholders of a corporation. These protections limit the legal and business liabilities (protection from lawsuits and debts) encountered by the corporation because it is treated as a separate, legal entity. There are also favorable taxation, deductible employee benefits, personal asset protection, anonymity, ease of raising capital, and credibility benefits that are the hallmark of an incorporated business.
A complete library of business incorporation articles can be found in our FREE Guide to Incorporating your business. Learn how to save money on taxes, protect your assets and grow your wealth through legal tools and incorporated business structures.
Other beneficial features of a corporation are it's broad range of powers and flexibility beyond that of a sole proprietorship --a corporation can have it's own bank accounts, own property, conduct business, and even establish a line of credit, irrespective of the individual accounts or credit of the shareholders. It can sue and be sued, hire staff, and engage in business dealings, all the while maintaining itself as an entity separate from its shareholders.
How Corporations can Reduce Personal Liability
As a corporation is formed, a separate, legal entity is formed that is recognized as being separate from it's owners (known as "shareholders"). Because of this separate entity status, when a corporation is sued, it is sued as an entity different from it's shareholders and hence any award or decision against a corporation will not go against the shareholders as individuals--these provisions and the manner by which a corporation is treated by the law serve to protect the shareholders and managers from personal liability. These type of protections are, of course, not part of a business operated as a sole proprietorship--if a sole proprietorship is sued, the owner is personally liable for any judgments or decisions against his company, an can hence lose personal assets and property. But these protections are not automatic to a corporation; there are certain steps and procedures, or "corporate formalities," that must be observed in order to help ensure that these protections are in place.
Corporations and Tax Advantages
There are certain tax advantages that are available to corporations that simply are not available to sole proprietorships or simple partnerships. These include the ability to write off medical benefits provided to employees, to write off business and entertainment expenses, tax-favorable pension plans, and more. Further, depending on the type of corporation formed, there can even be "pass through" taxation benefits than can further enhance the viability of the corporation and avoid double-taxation (when profit is taxed at the corporate level as profit, then again at the individual shareholder level as earned income). Better tax treatment means that your corporation is more likely to attract suitable investors and allow more of the net profit to remain in your coffers.
Another tax advantage not to be taken likely is the protection from audits. It is well documented that sole proprietorships, or individuals filing self-employed Schedule "C" tax returns, are more likely to be audited by the IRS. Conversely, the audit rate for corporations is much lower than the self-employed. Shareholders own, and can be employed by, the corporation, thereby eliminating the need to file Schedule C tax returns.
Deductible Employee Benefits of a Corporation
Another great benefit you can enjoy when you Form a Corporation is the wide array of tax deductions and tax-deductible benefits one can provide to oneself and to the other employees of the corporation. Even a one-person Corporation can enjoy tremendous tax-deductible benefits such as health insurance deductions, travel deductions, automobile deductions, client entertainment deductions, recreational facilities, etc. One of the most beneficial deductions is the pension plan or 401K. Money placed in a properly structured pension plan is tax deductible and the funds grow tax-free for retirement. These benefits alone can justify the existence of the corporation, based on costs alone, many times over.
Form a Corporation for Asset Protection
When a civil lawsuit is filed, it generally comes from one of two directions: Business and personal. If your company is incorporated and is sued by another company for business reasons, and loses said lawsuit, the shareholders will not be required to satisfy the debts of the corporation from their own personal assets. This safeguards assets and properties of the individual shareholders, and as such, is more attractive to potential investors. This is the "limited liability" feature of a corporation. If faced with a personal lawsuit, such as a divorce or an automobile accident, for example, the assets held by the corporation are safeguarded from any ensuing lawsuit or settlements against the individual shareholder--another reason why a properly formed corporation is attractive to potential investors.
Can I Form a Corporation Without an Attorney?
Yes, you can incorporate your business without an attorney. However, it is critical that certain, specific wording is included in the articles of incorporation, by-laws, minutes for meetings and other documents so that the corporation can provide legal protection, tax savings and other important corporate benefits. Professionally prepared articles of incorporation, by-laws and minutes are provided in the Companies Incorporated complete package.
Forming and Filing Process
After the initial requirements are met (the person forming the corporation must be a U.S. resident, and in some states, a U.S. Citizen, of legal age, and that person must provide their name and physical address), it all starts by choosing a name for your new corporation, and a back-up name. The back-up name (your second choice) is necessary in the event that your first choice is not available. Additional person's names can be added to the corporation after it has been filed. Once that is done, it is time to elect the sate in which you wish to incorporate. There are many things to consider when it comes to picking a state, with things like management versus shareholder rights, franchise tax, etc. playing important decision-making roles. Once done, Abstract Law.com then conducts a search with the Secretary of State in the state that you have elected in order to ensure that your name is available, and if the search comes up with no conflicts, your name is reserved. Then we take it from there, conducting the filings, assigning a registered agent, etc., with you only needing to provide the necessary fees to cover the set-up and filing costs, and thereafter observing the corporate formalities.

The term "employee benefits engagement" has become one of the most talked-about topic today in HR today. But what exactly is benefits engagement? How does it differ from benefits experience? And to what extent should benefit leaders be focused on or concerned about it?
Employees' experience with their health benefits is rooted in emotion, and they own it. They formulate the image of their experience as a result of all the interactions they have with the benefits provided by their employer. It is the cumulative impact of all touch points that determines the overall experience.
Benefits engagement, on the other hand, is each direct interaction that an employee has with the benefits. Contacting a call center for understanding coverage, visiting a doctor, receiving a claim statement are all interactions. All it takes is one negative interaction to damage the memory of the entire experience and the association with their benefits, which ultimately leads to a disengaged employee.
Companies need to think beyond individual interactions and focus on the ongoing journey to improve the ROI of their benefits spend.
Just like a customer's journey does not start when the customer buys something -it starts when a customer wants something or has a need. The same concept is true for health benefits. The employee's benefit journey should be an integrated and enduring experience that evolves as the employee interacts with her benefits at every touch point.
Traditionally companies have left benefit interactions to multiple providers, each narrowly focused on their own service or a program. The result – most programs are unused, employees are unaware, and benefits teams are constantly looking for answers.
It is time to take charge. Benefit leaders must recognize and define all aspects of their benefit strategy around delivering great employee experiences across multiple benefits. They need to ensure that every touch point (both physical and digital) is optimized and working to deliver engaging and satisfying experience. They should deploy new technologies to deliver integrated, consistent, contextual, and personalized engagement often to achieve better business outcomes.
While many companies recognize the importance of engaging employees with their benefits, they may find it difficult to know where to start, what to prioritize, and when to act. If you're interested in learning more about how to improve benefits' engagement, and elevate every member's experience – contact us. We are happy to help.

Choosing a Baseball Bat With rising bat prices and hundreds of different choices – How do I choose the right bat for my son or daughter? The first and most important rule when choosing a bat is the weight and length of the bat.
- Go to a sporting goods store and grab a bat. Place the bat into your dominant hand. If you are right handed, put the bat in your right. Your hand should be at the edge of the bat between the handle and the knob.
- Lift the bat with dominant hand out in front of you and hold it for ten to twenty seconds.
- If the bat is too heavy and your wrist starts to hurt, then the bat is probably too heavy.
- Choose a bat where the weight is comfortable – bigger bats do not mean bigger results.
Secondly – What brand of baseball bat should I choose?
- First and foremost – The bat needs to feel comfortable. When dealing with aluminum – I always liked bats that had a consistent weight distribution. Many bats have a connector piece and sometimes the connector seems to give the bat a top heavy feel.
- I would look at bat brands that have been around for a while. The reason that they have been around for a while is because they produce a good product. Otherwise – they would have been extinct a long time ago. Don't jump on the new product too often
- Remember –the key to a swing is to stay through the hitting zone as long as possible. If the barrel is too heavy and drags through the hitting zone lower than the hands then success is limited.
Thirdly: How much should I pay?
- I will never tell any parent how much to spend on their children. Just remember – it is a bat and that is it. My brother and I growing up rarely and I mean closer to never had a really expensive bat.
- A bat that a parent can be comfortable with and a child is excited about – A happy medium.
Until Next Time Chad

Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley 2005
Winemaker's Notes:
TASTING NOTES "Semillon is one of the traditional Washington state varieties and has quite a bit of "weight" for a tank fermented wine. This wine delivers aromas and flavors of fig, ripe melon with a hint of spice. We added Sauvignon Blanc for a crisp, refreshing quality and to complement the natural richness of Semillon. Try with Chinese food (not too spicy), I think you'll be surprised." -Bob Bertheau, Winemaker VINTAGE The 2005 harvest tested our winemaker's patience, but ultimately delivered excellent quality fruit. The growing season started cool, followed by 90+ degree days in July and August. September brought cool and constant weather, which extended the season, allowing grapes extra time to ripen on the vine and enhance flavor development. VINEYARDS Sourced from Columbia Valley vineyards, including our own Horse Heaven Vineyard. Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains and receive just 6-8 inches of rainfall annually. Sandy soils with low fertility and low water-holding capacity enable precise control of vine growth. Warm, sunny days and cool evenings create ideal conditions for aroma and flavor development in the ripening grapes. WINEMAKING Yeasts specifically designated for white Bordeaux varieties were used to initi- ate the four-week fermentation and release varietal aromas. 68% stainless steel fermented to preserve Semillon's fresh fruit character. Partial barrel fermentation (32%) for two months in older French oak con- tributed complexity. Sauvignon Blanc (22%) added for a refined, crisp character. TECHNICAL DATA Alcohol..........13.7% Total............0.56g /100ml Acidity..........pH 3.30 Blend............78% Semillon, 22% Sauvignon Blanc FOOD PAIRINGS Foods: Asian dishes, scallops Herbs: basil, dill Spices: curry, ginger

There are two types of stem cell: Adult derived stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells are somewhat in terms of what they can turn in to due to how they divide. Embryonic stem cells can be manipulated into any tissue necessary. For this reason the latter are very useful in growing limbs and organs like lungs, heart and skin. Recent research has however suggested that adult derived stem cells are 99 per cent similar to embryonic stem cells so they may be able to do more than was once thought. Extensive research is currently being carried out on stem cell science as people hope for cures for diseases like Parkinson's, diabetes and Alzheimer's.
What is controversial about stem cells?
When embryonic stem cells are used for scientific research there is controversy because the cells come from aborted embryos that need to be either destroyed or stored beyond their shelf life after use. Many religious organizations oppose this use and believe the embryos already have life in them. There is also suspicion that scientists could even use embryonic stem cells for human cloning in the future.
Scientists would argue that embryos are not the same as human lives because they could not survive outside of the womb and only have the potential for life, not life itself.
Adult stem cell research is often supported and encouraged by those who are pro-life. At Angeles hospital in Mexico only adult stem cells are used. We offer stem cell application for a variety of conditions of the highest quality. Fill in the form on the right for more information.

Long story short my husband and I had our 5 year anniversary trip booked for Hawaii before we found out baby #2 was on the way. Since our anniversary is in June my Dr. didn't think it was a good idea to be traveling so close to my due date. Basically, we decided to save Hawaii (crossing my fingers for our 10 year) and decided to celebrate our 5 year anniversary a little earlier than expected. We decided on Aruba since that's where we went for our honeymoon. This week my Friday favorites are all about my anniversary/babymoon trip. Warning, picture overload :)
1. Special family moments: I happen to kind of be obsessed with this picture. My husband captured such a sweet moment between me and my little man that I will cherish forever. It's so hard getting a good picture of the three of us when we are away. Let's be honest, not many strangers know what they are doing with a camera and that's ok. We made the best of it.
2. Beach fun: ahhh it was wonderful to be in the nice warm weather, under the palm trees and the waves crashing in the background. I definitely think I have a little beach boy on my hands.
3. Little man fun: we've traveled with him before but at that time he wasn't mobile yet so it was a lot easier. I'll be sharing some tips for traveling with a toddler in my next few posts. This time around watching him play and have so much fun was some of the best parts of our trip. He was fascinated with the outdoor chess set and he especially loved feeding the Iguanas on our resort every day. We pretty much had to hold him back from running and picking them up. Fearless kid right there.
4. Sunsets: we caught the sunset almost every night and even enjoyed dinner on the beach at one of our favorite restaurants in Aruba, The Flying Fishbone. Eric and I went there on our honeymoon and we knew that we had to go back. Our first time there our table was literally in the water. We saw fish swimming around us and it was simply amazing. This time we were as close to the water as we could be with little man and it was still an amazing experience.
5. Exploring the island and beach fashion: we love walking around and taking in the scenery when we are away. What better way to do that than in some great beach wear. I was so glad Biana from B Loved Boston shared her Beach Vacation Essentials. I loved rocking my pair of $12 sunglasses from Nordstrom (unheard of) and this two toned fedora from Forever21. I also got a great necklace at a local market when we were down there and this lace shift dress I picked up at Target before our trip.
Check out some of these fabulous bloggers and where we are linking today for some Friday fun!

Denver Post photo of disgraced Secret Service agent and Palin takes on a new life
A member of the Secret Service who posted a Denver Post photo of himself with Sarah Palin on his Facebook page now probably wishes he hadn't.
The photo of Palin and agent David Chaney — and the interesting comment he posted with it — has gone viral after he resigned in the wake of the prostitute scandal enveloping his agency.
"I was really checking her out, if you know what i mean?" he wrote in response to a friend, joking that he was a Palin "stalker," according to several news agencies.
The picture was shot by Post photographer RJ Sangosti when Palin, then Alaska's governor and John McCain's presidential running mate, visited Colorado in October 2008 for a fundraiser.
PHOTOS: More images from Sarah Palin's Visit in October 2008
During the visit she accused Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists who would target their own country" — a reference to the
Democrat's association with former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.
Denver Post guru Linda Shapley, who was a page designer at the time and now has a job with a longer title, knew the second she saw the picture on the Internet today it was shot by a Post photograher. She lives by the Gunther Toody's in Centennial that Palin visited and she remembered thinking at the time she didn't like the shade of green the candidate wore.
Palin wasn't amused at learning that Chaney had posted the photo of them on his Facebook page in January 2009.
"This agent who was kind of ridiculous there in posting pictures and comments about checking someone out," she told Fox News. "Check this out, bodyguard. You're fired! And I hope his wife sends him to the doghouse."

I have a new miter saw (DWS780) and was doing the calibrations for tweaking up the miter and bevel angles.
For the bevel, I measured the angles by using the blade with a digital angle ruler. One span of the ruler on the base and the other span lined up against the blade. The 0, 22.5, & 45 degree left bevels were a bit off so I made the adjustments. I made sure that the ruler was totally flush against the blade and not on the side of a saw tooth.
Then when I did some practice cuts on real wood (2×4's and MDF pieces), the angles were slightly off but extremely consistent. The 0 degree cut was off by 0.3 degrees, and the 22.5 and 45 by about the same. Noting the direction by which the bevel cut was either too shallow or deep, I tweaked the adjustments so that he actual cuts on wood gave 0, 22.5, and 45 degrees.
I made sure the ruler was zeroed out and calibrated throughout and made these measurements all a few times to make sure and check if they were consistent, and they were. I also used a 7" square to confirm the 0 degree cut on the wood – the cut was flush with the later empirical adjustment for the actual wood cut, whereas it was slightly off with the angle ruler 0 degree set on the blade.
Now when I measure the blade with the digital angle ruler, it is off by the amounts that the cuts were off before, which is what you would expect if things are consistent.
Question is: Why is there a difference between what is measured with the ruler calibration on the blade, vs. how it actually cuts? Does the high RPM on the blade change the blade aspect or something? Does the force between the blade and the wood change the blade aspect?
I see lots of videos on the internet about doing the adjustments with an angle ruler, but haven't found anyone talking about how the calibration with the angle ruler might be different than what happens in practice.

Team VEPCA Updates for 2016
September 3, 2016 § Leave a comment
Working with vintage posters is a real treat.
There is exposure to history, to travel, to library sciences and language, and to an amazing group of clients and friends. Interns have cooked dinner for David Lance Goines, had drinks at the Standard DTLA, re-catalogued entire categories of our collection, decoded Instagram and Pinterest and driven up and down the 5 countless times. Most interns have stayed 12-18 months, and senior staff have stayed from 3-7 years.
We all stay in touch and some come back to help with projects on occasion.
Welcome Sarah Tanenbaum Adams
Sarah grew up in Oakland and attended NYU where she studied Studio Art and Psychology. After that, she studied jewelry making at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Art in San Francisco and went on to work with fine custom jewelers as well as making and selling her own designs.
Sarah also worked at A Great Good Place for Books in Montclair as their bookkeeper and card buyer so she has a keen grasp of everything retail. Sarah's mother, artist Carol Tanenbaum has a 'framing habit' (to quote Sarah), and so Sarah has a finely trained eye for custom frame design.
Favorite Poster: "Planten un Blomen" by Kargerg
Christopher Gonzalez, who joined VEPCA as operations director upon his graduation from UC Berkeley in 2013, was recruited away to the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive in January of this year. He now supervises 56 staff members. BAM/PFA is doing a great job with organizing operations for numerous programs and events in celebration of the museum's inaugural year at a new facility.
Chris studied accounting while at VEP and his numbers always added up. He packed for shows, negotiated with teamsters to get prime loading dock positions at convention centers and logged thousands of miles in the Econoline van for VEPCA, traveling to Portland, Seattle, Palm Springs and everywhere in between. Chris also enjoyed helping people choose their first poster. Making art accessible to everyone was a CG specialty and we miss him!
The 2 things that Chris misses most about VEPCA are sharing stories and engaging with poster collectors at shows and cataloging and researching recently acquired posters.
Favorite Posters: everything by Alexander Calder and Liqueur St. Barbe
Kate Klingbeil, master printmaker and multimedia artist, will move to New York on October 1st and is headedstraight to the
moon. Kate gave a series of talks with VEPCA about the process of stone lithography, she hung our rotating poster shows at Convert on 4th Street and did all of VEPCA'S photography and photo editing.
After she discovered that toxic litho inks were making her sick, Kate moved on to embrace digital animation, ceramics, acrylics and more. See her work on line, on Instagram, and at the Athen B gallery in downtown Oakland. Bon Voyage Kate, we will miss you.
Favorite Posters: Wissembourgs but especially the FROG.
Candie Sanderson came into VEP like a hurricane in 2011 demanding a job lest she lose
her visa and be sent back to Bordeaux. Candie wrote our blog 'These are the People in Our Neighborhood' introducing VEPCA's neighbors Peter Koch printer AKA the Surrealist Cowboy, and June Taylor of June Taylor Jams.
Candie, raised in Bordeaux and educated at the Sorbonne and UC Berkeley was a formidable writer. She translated the entire L'Estampe Moderne a series of prints and poems from 1897-1899 edited by legendary print house Imprimerie Champenois while working at VEP. Candie attended the masters program for creative writing in Montana, and upon graduation moved to Boston to teach French in Cambridge.
This summer, Candie was married to her grad-school sweetheart John Bennett in her home town of Bergerac in Bordeaux. Candie's phrase "Let's do this", uttered before every show load-in, framed delivery or physical challenge will forever be a VEPCA favorite.
Favorite Poster: "Le Rouge Baisier" by Rene Gruau
Emily Jackson, social media guru and UC Berkeley History graduate, taught us Pinterest, and could Facebook with one hand
and tweet with the other. After a few interesting jobs as operations director at Steve and Kates' Camp, and cooking teacher, Emily is now settled in as a grant writer for International Rescue Committee.
As a US sanctioned resettlement agency, The International Rescue Committee provides essential services to help refugees resume independent, stable, and productive lives after years of trauma and upheaval.
In 2015 Emily traveled around Central Europe, fell in love with Berlin, and is now looking forward to saving up for her next traveling adventure: a road trip around the US with her sister!
Favorite Poster: "Knowledge Wins" by Dan Smith
Karlie Drutz, cataloguing queen and master social networker Karlie has gone on from being an ultimate Frisbee champion to
being a competitive runner and triathlete! While at VEPCA, Karlie brought her razor sharp organizational skills to VEPCA while studying history at CAL. She recatalogued our entire military collection, co-wrote our proposal for the Huntington Museum which turned into "Your Country Calls: Posters of the First World War" the show we guest curated at the Huntington Museum and library in 2014.

Charly Leys worked full time with VEP from 2007-2013, weathering the entire, horrible recession in our small business. She assisted with moving the VEPCA operations from MacArthur Blvd. in Oakland into our swanky new digs in Berkeley. Meanwhile, traveling to Wyoming and Montana regularly and training her black belt in Aikido.
While working with the posters, Charly developed a strong interest in the design and construction of frames. She used her incredible mechanical skills and Aikido focus (Jedi powers) to apprentice as a framer in Hawaii with Glenn Young, master framer and owner of Artscapes.
Upon return to the mainland, Charly has partnered with Artscapes to open Artscapes Leys framing in the North Bay, with a design room open by appointment in Santa Rosa. She does the construction in her nearby, reclaimed "barnshop." You can contact Charly at firstname.lastname@example.com
Charly likes orange shoes, surfing, goats, and her dog Kajal who has a frequent flyer number on Hawaiian Air.

Marriages end every day in New Hampshire for a variety of different reasons. While all couples who choose to end their relationships often struggle with the decision, a high asset divorce can be complicated and result in more contention. For example, a couple that lives in another state may face lengthy proceedings after the woman announced her decision to seek a divorce.
High asset divorce creates conflict between dad, adult children
Settlement reached in high asset divorce
When most couples in New Hampshire make the decision to marry, they likely do so with the expectation that they will be together until one of them passes away. Realistically, however, many marriages end in divorce. For some, the decision to end a marriage is a difficult one to make, but the decision is often in the best of those involved. A high asset divorce can be especially contentious as couples disagree on how assets should be divided.
Prenuptial agreement questioned in high asset divorce
When people marry, they do so with the expectation that they will spend the rest of their lives together. However, as time passes and people change, many couples come to realize that they are no longer compatible. Because of this possibility, some people in New Hampshire create a prenuptial agreement in order to avoid the possibility of a contentious high asset divorce. However, the wife of Zynga founder Mark Pincus is seeking to invalidate their prenuptial agreement as part of their divorce proceedings.
Football player Emmanuel Sanders caught in high asset divorce
Being a professional athlete often comes with a great deal of media attention. While many athletes are able to navigate this attention and lead a relatively normal life, some live a life that may seem foreign to a person in New Hampshire with a more traditional life. Papers filed as a result of Broncos football player Emmanuel Sanders's high asset divorce portray him as falling in the latter category.
Hedge fund boss involved in high asset divorce
Some couples in New Hampshire may discover that their relationship is no longer working. In order to ensure their personal happiness as well as the overall well-being of their children, they often concede that a divorce is in their best interest. While most proceedings to end a marriage are relatively straight forward, a high asset divorce can be more complicated as both sides work to disentangle and divide assets.
Court ruling invalidates high asset divorce
For many people in New Hampshire and across the country, the decision to seek a divorce is a complex one at which they arrive only after serious consideration. Once the decision is made, the process is typically fairly standard. However, those with a high asset divorce can experience complications that can require the help of an experienced attorney in order to properly resolve them. This could be especially true for those that involve international spouses. In fact, one woman has recently found herself still married after a previous divorce declaration was overturned.
Managing a high asset divorce in New Hampshire
Following the news of the recent split of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, many people in New Hampshire are wondering about the division of assets in a divorce. Depending on a family's individual situation, a high asset divorce can be complicated, potentially lasting for a great deal of time and requiring a team of experts to work out the details. While such divorces are often portrayed as acrimonious, many couples are able to peacefully work though the details of their finances to determine how their assets will be divided.
Appellate ruling settles high asset divorce fight
When a person in New Hampshire makes the decision to end a marriage, there are multiple other decisions that must follow. This may especially be true in the case of a high asset divorce. Many couples are able to put aside their differences and, with the help of their attorneys, come to a divorce agreement with relative ease. Other cases can last for years. An appellate court in another state has recently ruled on a request that the original settlement be thrown out; the dispute has lasted over a decade.
High asset divorce: Isaiah Silva requests spousal support
When people in New Hampshire marry, they must often define their roles within the relationship. In some cases, a person might decide to put his or her career on hold. However, if the marriage ends in divorce, couples must then decide how to separate their lives. If a person has given up a career, he or she might be at a financial disadvantage. In a high asset divorce playing out publicly, Isaiah Silva, the estranged husband of France Cobain, daughter of Kurt Cobain, claims that he did just that.
High Asset Divorce: Billionaire couple head to contentious split
When a couple in New Hampshire chooses to marry, they are likely thinking of their current happiness. However, planning for the future and considering all possibilities can prove beneficial. For example, creating a prenuptial agreement can help both people better understand their financial situation as well as make plans in case the marriage ends in divorce. Some sources claim that one high asset divorce taking place in another state will likely become contentious as both sides argue over an estate worth billions; the couple reportedly has no prenuptial agreement in place.

I'm setting up rate plans for customers but they'll only be able to buy certain ones at a given period of time.
For example, early bird registration, regular registration, etc. Our software will display rate plans available based on EffectiveStartDate and EffectiveEndDate.
I want early bird pricing to show to the customer from now through the 14th and then starting the 15th only show regular pricing.
Would the effective end date of the early bird pricing be the 14th or 15th? Does it expire at midnight the date you select or 11:59:59 pm?
If you found my answer helpful, please give me a kudo ↑
Help others find answers faster by accepting my post as a solution √
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you want the rate plan to effectively end on the 14th then you would set the Effective End date to the 13th. When set to this date, the last second that the rate plan remains available is the 13th @ 11:59:59 PM. Once it is the 14th @ 12:00:00 AM, that rate plan becomes inactive.
Also note that this date and time follows your Zuora tenant's timezone setting located in Settings > Administration > Manage Tenant Profile. If set to "(GMT-07:00) America/Los_Angeles (Pacific Daylight Time)" then expiring your rate plan will occur in PDT.

Beehive Old Fashioned
In this classic cocktail, the initial botanical hit of the aged gin is offset by the vanilla-honey finish the barrel aging imparts.
1 1/2 ounce Beehive Barrel Reserve Gin
1 or 2 sugar cubes
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange twist
Griotte cherry
Muddle the sugar cubes with the bitters in a whiskey glass. Add gin and stir to combine, add ice cubes. Squeeze orange peel over the glass to extract the oils, then garnish with the twist and Griotte cherry.

Being grown is more than you reaching a certain age, it has to do more with being a mature responsible adult, even when other adults may be acting childish doesn't mean you have to. You don't get no awards for acting like a responsible adult nor should you, you should carry it like a grown up because it the right thing to do. At the end of the day everyone is responsible for their own actions even if they don't think so.
In today's society pointing finger is the new keeping it real, it's more easy to blame someone for else for your problems then for you to take ownership for your own actions.
Why don't people take personal responsibility for their own actions anymore. As a society in whole we are quick to play the blame game on someone else, it's never your fault someone else has to take the blame. It's their fault why you got fired, why you didn't get that promotion etc you and your actions didn't have nothing to do with any of this.
I spoke about this in my last blog (# Your not a special snowflake) people walk around oblivious to their own bull crap and think that you have to deal with it like you are obligate to them, never willing to take ownership for their own actions. As much as people try to pass the buck or blame someone else for their misfortunes, it comes a time in everyone life when they have to face adversity head on. The question now is are you going to take ownership for your own actions like a grown person does or are you going to keep pointing fingers and blaming everyone else for what going wrong with your life. (The choice is yours)

Swim School
Swimming Lessons at the YMCA equip swimmers of all skill levels with the tools they need to be confident in and around water so they don't lose out on the health benefits of exercise, the opportunities to bond with family and friends and the sense of accomplishment that comes from learning new skills. Our philosophy is that each swimmer progresses at their own pace. Through positive reinforcement, practice and patience, students learn water-safe swimming skills while having fun. Our lessons develop aquatic readiness, develop safe water habits, engage in underwater exploration, and teach children important water safety skills.
The YMCA provides swimming lessons to swimmers of all ages and skill levels. We also offer private lessons, semi-private lessons, and many kinds of adaptive swim programs for swimmers with special needs, so we can all safely enjoy the pleasures of an aquatic environment. We offer small class sizes, year round lessons, warm water lessons for younger children, certified swim instructors, and more.

More Information About YMCA Swim School
Jump in at any time! You can register for lessons even after a session has started. Prices will be pro-rated for classes that have already passed.
Make-Up Lessons: Due to the size and format of the classes, there will be no make-ups for missed classes.
Lesson Placement and Level Assessments: Level placement is based on skill level, not age. To determine what level your child should be in, view either the Lesson Level Flowchart or the Red Cross (and Old Y levels) to YMCA Level Equivalents. Or join us for Swim Level Assessments, every Saturday in the Small Pool from 12-12:30pm. One of our senior swim instructors will cover skills, test endurance and answer any questions you might have. Assessments are FREE and open to the community – no need to pay for a day pass. Saturday doesn't work for you? Reach out to our Swimming Lesson Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com or 701.364.4168 and we'll figure out a time that fits in your schedule.
YMCA Swim School Advantages and Structure
• Skill Patch Rewards: As each child progresses at their own pace, they will be recognized for their accomplishments with patches from the level they've completed.
• Warm Water Small Pool Option: Levels Parent/Baby through Starfish are located in the smaller, warm water pool. The 88º pool keeps children comfortable and staying in the water. Levels Froggie through Shark are located in our large pool. Private and Adaptive lessons vary from small to large pool, depending on the participant and pool availability.
• Small Class Sizes: Classes are held as a group and structured by age and ability to accommodate varying skill levels within each age group. Student to teacher ratios are a very small 4:1 with Parent/Baby and Parent/Child classes 6:1.
• Certified Swim Lesson Instructors:The swim teachers are highly trained in safety, class management and keeping children engaged with enthusiasm, imagination and fun! All teachers are also CPR and First Aid certified.
• Year-Round Swimming: Consistency and practice are key to fine-tuning or retaining any skill on a more permanent basis. With our indoor pools, children can swim year-round and consistently build upon and progress in their skills.
• Safety Day: Included once per session with all independent lessons, Safety Day teaches participants the 'Throw Don't Go' method, life jacket usage, and for older participants, swimming fully clothed to gain an awareness of the level of difficulty.

Sep 10 2018. view 159
Indu Dharmasena is a pro at anticipating and catering to the pulse of his audience, and his 65th original screenplay Love, Lies & Diamonds did just that.
It seemed like a normal day at work for Kusal Kukulawala (Indu Dharmasena), except for the fact that he has to deal with his new slightly incompetent if not well meaning secretary Menaka (Minoli Peiris). But of course, this is an Indu Dharmasena play, so you already know it won't take long for things to go south for the characters. Kusal, it seems, has ordered a diamond necklace from his long time collaborator Percy (Jaliya Wijewardena), who duly brings it to Kusal (one of his most loyal customers), with a discount to boot.
The audience audibly sigh as Kusal happily claims the necklace is for Priyanka (Saneesha Ramanayake), before they realise Kusal is a married man and Priyanka is certainly not his wife.
The wife, Deepika (Sanwada Dharmasena) is a seemingly lovely woman who turns up unexpectedly to Kusal's office to sign the papers in order to donate a plot of land to an orphanage. Deepika accidentally chances upon the necklace with a lovely note, and assumes it's for her. Kusal immediately starts concocting plans with his friend and the company's financial controller Danny Sahabandu (Abbasali Rozais) to get the diamond necklace back from Deepika. After all, Priyanka knows what the necklace looks like. Besides, the day was their 3 month anniversary, and Kusal was hoping to present the necklace to Priyanka in order to get lucky.
Attempts to get Deepika to sign the papers and leave get delayed thanks to Asela (Sahan Wijewardena) whose incompetence supersedes Menaka's by a mile. With the documents not perfect, Deepika, was certainly not leaving any time soon. Soon, he's forced to purchase an identical diamond necklace, now that both his wife and girlfriend know what it looks like. To top things off, Kusal is constantly led to his wits end by a certain Monica (Kamanthi Wickramasinghe) who keeps bugging him for a sponsorship.
While the rest of the characters continually throw a wrench in Kusal's plans, mostly inadvertently, he is unable to send Deepika away before Priyanka turns up. The problem seems to work itself out when Priyanka assumes Deepika is here to sign the divorce papers and Deepika believes Priyanka is here to sell her property down south. The craziness continues until the very end, and the audience realise that the women weren't really the victims after all - the scene ends with the women discussing what kind of jewellery they'll pick next. The player, it appears, just got played.
The play was a hit with the audience as they ooh-ed, aah-ed and laughed to their heart's content. The aptly named characters, the bilingual dialogue, classic one liners and great acting reminded audiences why Indu is still a formidable force to be reckoned with. We caught up with the audience to hear what they thought of the play. Here's what they had to say.
As usual Indu's plays are fantastic. I really enjoyed it. I hope to come again for his shows.
It was different. This is my third show of Indu's and it was really funny. It was a bit short. I expected it to go on much more. Short but nice and funny. Everyone played their roles well.
Really funny. I enjoyed it a lot.
As usual it was very good. Indu normally doesn't disappoint. We don't miss any of his dramas.
Hilarious as usual. We always enjoy his plays.
As usual one of Indu's outstanding plays. It was full of humour. We really enjoyed. I have been to many of his plays. The entire crew was fabulous. My cousins were taking part. Loved the entire cast - they did a great job.
Watched a play by Indu after a while. It was innovative, short and simple. We really enjoyed it.

Dude !!!.... Its a Canal !!! Can you Dig it ??
I think we should all agree to just call it "Chimichanga"
Not fair to the burro of fame, but much easier to pronounce. And, who's going to know the difference ??
There will some confusion: "He got a bad case of chimichanga last week" could mean old burro meat (or worse - there have been less strays on the streets of Condega, and the meat the lady at the park grills has a lot more gristle lately), ---or a mosquito bite, but the context will make things clear.
I still like "chickengumbo."
You're already dead!

Latest Single: 'Hands Dirty' + Remixes
Musical artist Snax has returned with a new sound, a new long player and a new mission, brought about by his latest affiliation with Hill, the mysterious leader of a spiritual organization called Shady Lights. Hil has been sending cryptic transmissions through Facebook, Instagram, and the site www.shadylights.org, building followers and piquing curiosity. Hil's messages have also been embraced and enthusiastically shared by Snax who has apparently fallen under Hil's spell. Has he joined this strange cult? Is Snax music become influnced by Hil's teachings? We would like to enlist you to participate in their journey. Snax's new album Shady Lights will be released on October 27, 2017. With Shady Lights, Snax builds on this newly accrued wisdom from Hil and peppers it with his own profound life experiences from the past several years. The album comes at the end of a period marked by the pain of surgery, the selling of his childhood home, and the loss of a loved one to suicide, but also the joy of marriage and commitment, and a terrific new studio space for working through all these ideas. But Snax counters with an album that takes all these themes and imbues them with a dose of hope. Shady Lights' seventeen tracks (including some strategically placed instrumental codas) swing and groove with confidence, filled with earworm choruses and slinky musical accompaniment, derived from influences as disparate as abstract pop, musique concrète, R&B, and punk rock. The puzzle process that guided the album is camouflaged by a sequence of distinct songs that flow together with purpose, sort of like life's unconnected events forming a whole. It's not obvious at this point that Hil is indeed Snax and that Shady Lights is his forthcoming album. But subtle hints are being dropped, becoming more frequent as the release date approaches. Snax will be planning release parties in his home base of Berlin and other enlightened cities. And Hil will continue sending transmissions leading up to release, mobilizing the troops to follow the Shady Lights.
