(MONTCLAIR, NJ) – The Montclair Art Museum (MAM) will present the exhibition Tenacity & Resilience: The Art of Jerry Pinkney from February 5, 2022 to June 26, 2022. Tenacity and Resilience: The Art of Jerry Pinkney will feature over 80 illustrations and working drawings from nine children's books spanning the period 1979-2020 by Pinkney, one of America's most renowned children's book illustrators.
Members of the museum will be invited to a preview of the exhibition from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. followed by a public opening at 2:00 p.m.
It seems fitting that this exhibit opens at the start of Black History Month. Pinkney's illustrations express powerful messages from the history of the civil rights movement in America, honor black heritage, and inspire with stories of courage and aspiration. They also reflect Pinkney's compassionate nature and her desire to be a strong role model for her family and other African Americans.
âIt was a real pleasure working directly with Jerry Pinkney to select the illustrations on display and develop the themes for the exhibition,â said Chief Curator Gail Stavitsky. âJerry came up with the title of the exhibit himself, focusing on what he called a 'line of resilience across the world'. Jerry had the remarkable ability to bounce back from adversity and focused on joy and space that celebrates perseverance despite prejudice and injustice. How incredibly relevant his thoughts are to us today.
âI am a storyteller at heart. There is something special about knowing that your stories can change the way people see the world and their place in it, â~ Jerry Pinkney.
Celebrating Pinkney's love for books and their power to share history and teach important lessons, this exhibit will also feature a reading space where visitors young and old can sit and read copies. of all the books presented. There will also be beautiful bookmarks with Pinkney's artwork and inspirational quotes to take home.
Ira Wagner, executive director of MAM, says it's an exhibit that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. "Pinkney's uplifting messages are a balm for the challenges we face and her images are celebrated as wonderful works of art in their own right."

Pinkney was one of America's most admired children's book illustrators. He won the Caldecott Medal and five Caldecott Honors, five Coretta Scott King Awards, the Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, the Society of Illustrators' Original Art Show Lifetime Achievement Award and many more awards and honors. Pinkney's work has already been featured in a 1998 group exhibition at the Montclair Art Museum titled Shared Stories: Exploring Cultural Diversity. Pinkney also delivered the 29th Annual Julia Norton Babson Memorial in 2015 on the theme âThe Eye of the Illustrator, Real and Imaginedâ.
Jerry Pinkney died on October 20, 2021, three months before the opening of this exhibition. The Museum hopes you will join us in celebrating his legacy and benefiting from his many talents as a master watercolourist, designer and storyteller.
A solid program of programming and related events will run throughout the exhibition.

I always get my puppy ham bones from tractor supply to chew on while I'm cleaning and doing chores, and he never does anything weird. He just lays down and quietly chews on the bone. Today I got him a beef trachea (I know, ew), and when I gave it to him he held it in his mouth and started whining. He wouldn't settle. He walked around and steady whined. Then he started digging in the comforter and it looked like he was hiding it. He finally took it into his kennel, set it down, and came back out to chew on his other bone. What the heck is his problem? He doesn't growl or get protective over treats or anything, and he would put it right in my hand. I just don't get why he seemed so uneasy.

ʻAkaka Falls State Park
Pleasant self-guided walk through lush tropical vegetation to scenic vista points overlooking the cascading Kahuna Falls and the free-falling 'Akaka Falls, which plunges 442 feet into a stream-eroded gorge. The 0.4-mile loop footpath requires some physical exertion.
ʻAkaka Falls State Park is a state park on Hawaiʻi Island; the Big Island of Hawai'i. The park is about 11 miles north of Hilo, west of Honomū off the Hawaii Belt Road at the end of Hawaii Route 220. It includes its namesake ʻAkaka Falls, a 442-foot tall waterfall. ʻAkaka is named after Chief 'Akakaokanī'auoi'oikawao, grandson of Kūlanikapele and Kīakalohia. The accessible portion of the park lies high on the right shoulder of the deep gorge into which the waterfall plunges, and the falls can be viewed from several points along a loop trail through the park. Also visible from this trail is Kahūnā Falls, a 300-foot tall waterfall, and several smaller cascades.
Hawaiian Legends & Mythology
Legend has it the Hawaiian god, Akaka, lived next to a waterfall with his wife while his girlfriends, Lehua and Maile, lived nearby. When his wife returned early one day nearly catching him with one of the girlfriends, Akaka ran away and fell into the falls. (Some versions say he jumped but I find that hard to believe.) Lehua and Maile cried so hard when they heard about Akaka's death, they turned into small waterfalls. The waterfall that Akaka fell into was named Akaka Falls and two nearby small cascading falls are called Lehua and Maile Falls.

Unicystic ameloblastoma rarely seen in first decade of life. This tumour usually appears very similar to a non-neoplastic odontogenic cyst and is frequently clinically misdiagnosed as dentigerous cyst. The distinction from dentigerous cyst is important as unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) unlike dentigerous cyst needs different treatment approach and long term follow-up due to its chances of recurrence. This report highlights the importance of clinical examination in the diagnosis and management of UA in a 5 year old boy.

Aston Villa miss out on another defender as Jeremiah St. Juste agrees Portugal transfer
Aston Villa have missed out on another defender signing after Mainz star Jeremiah St. Juste agreed a deal to sign for Sporting.
Villa, West Ham and Leicester were all in the hunt for St. Juste, who was billed as the fastest player in the Bundesliga. The centre-back's top speed was recorded at 36.63kph. That put him in front of the likes of Erling Haaland and Leroy Sane in terms of sprinting.
It's that pace and his defensive calmness that put him on a number of clubs' radars.
But Sporting have won the race to sign the player after he was attracted to Portuguese capital by the famous club.
"Jeremiah approached us and expressed his desire to join Sporting Lisbon, as he is keen to take the next steps in his career in another country. We fully understood and accepted his decision," said Mainz boss Christian Heidel on their website.
"However, it was also important for us to come to a transfer agreement that was in line with our financial requirements.
"We wish Jeremiah all the best at his new club. Despite the fact he has missed much of this season due to injury, he has played an important role at Mainz over the last three years," he added.
St Juste was under contract until 2023, but played just eight times in the Bundesliga this season due to shoulder problems.
Jornal de Notícias reported that Sporting were trying to wrap up a deal for the player quickly las week. And Villa's interest probably pushed them into getting a deal hammered out.
The Portuguese club were keen to avoid a bidding war with other clubs.
Jeremiah St. Juste snub adds to Villa woes
Sporting are said to have offered around €10m for the player up front, as well as a number of performance-related add-ons.
The Dutch defender spent three seasons at Mainz and made 69 appearances for the club.
It's not the first centre-back Villa have missed out on this summer.
Football Insider revealed Aston Villa came in recently with a 'big-money' contract offer to land Matthias Ginter.
The German international was a target for Steven Gerrard. Per the source, Gerrard is keen to break up the centre-half partnership of Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa. And 28-year-old Borussia Monchengladbach man Ginter had been eyed up.
But he rejected the chance to feature in the Premier League for the first time. Instead, Ginter opted for a move to Bundesliga rivals Freiburg at the end of the season.
Christian Streich's men are currently in fifth place and are looking to finish in the Champions League places.

Life-threatening anemia due to uterine fibroids: A case series

- Article Number: 669
This article is mentioned in:
Uterine fibroids are the most common neoplasms affecting women and it has been postulated that they occur in >70% of women by the onset of menopause (1). It has been recognized that uterine fibroids are associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, abdominal discomfort, subfertility and a reduced quality of life (2). Management of uterine fibroids includes observation, hormonal therapy, surgery (hysterectomy, myomectomy and trans-cervical resection), uterine artery embolization and high-frequency magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery, with appropriate management varying from case to case (2-5). These neoplasms can also lead to life-threatening anemia and death. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, the prevalence, incidence and mortality of uterine fibroids worldwide in 2019 were 29, 0.24 and 0.002%, respectively (6). Notably, Suthar et al (7) estimate that the COVID-19 mortality rate in the vaccinated population is two (0.002%) deaths per 100,000 people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, which is a global problem, more attention should be paid to women's health issues associated with uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids can also be life threatening via pulmonary metastasis or intravascular extension, despite being benign tumors (8). Among women with uterine fibroids, it is necessary to identify who are at particularly high risk and propose the most appropriate treatment. Cases of severe iron deficiency anemia complicated with uterine fibroids are not rare. However, only one case of severe anemia due to uterine fibroids with hemoglobin levels <2.0 g/dl has been reported to date (9). The present study reported three cases of life-threatening anemia with hemoglobin levels <2.0 g/dl caused by uterine fibroids and genital bleeding.
Case report
Table I presents the background, clinical course, laboratory findings, clinical images, interventions and prognosis of the three patients. At first, the three women kept refusing further medical care despite being aware of having excessive and prolonged menstruation. Their symptoms were mild compared to the degree of anemia, suggesting that the patients had chronic anemia for a long period. All three patients had poor insight and understanding of their condition and underwent blood transfusion and surgery. Since then, their clinical course has been uneventful and without relapse.
Case 1
A 34-year-old woman was transported by ambulance to the emergency department of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Oita University owing to a decline in consciousness level. She was unemployed, solitary and stayed at home all day. She had been experiencing excessive and prolonged menstruation for many years but had not sought medical care. Her last menstruation began 3 weeks before presentation and continued at the time of her arrival. Her Glasgow Coma Scale score (10) was E3V5M6. Blood testing showed a hemoglobin level of 1.1 g/dl. A 5-cm uterine submucosal leiomyoma was detected by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; Fig. 1A and B). During her hospitalization, she was transfused 10 units of packed red blood cells. On day 13 of admission, she was discharged home. Her hemoglobin level on discharge was 8.7 g/dl. Even though anemia improved, her reactions were slow and hazy. Her mother reported that these symptoms persisted even before admission. Cranial computed tomography (CT) scans showed cerebral atrophy. It was speculated that the patient had some underlying diseases, but the patient was not willing for detailed examination. The patient underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy (Fig. 2A). At 1 month postoperatively, her hemoglobin level was 11.6 g/dl and there had been no relapse.

Clinical imaging findings: (A) axial and (B) sagittal T2-weighted MRI revealed a 5-cm uterine submucosal leiomyoma (arrows). (C) axial and (D) sagittal T2-weighted MRI confirmed multiple uterine myomas and adenomyosis (asterisks). (E) axial and (F) sagittal T2-weighted MRI revealed multiple uterine myomas (arrow heads) with a maximum diameter of 8.5 cm. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.

Case 2
A 36-year-old woman presented with progressive dyspnea. She had a history of blood transfusions in our hospital for anemia during her last visit 5 years ago. Blood testing revealed a hemoglobin level of 1.7 g/dl. Pelvic MRI showed multiple uterine fibroids and adenomyosis (Fig. 1C and D). It was repeatedly explained to her that her condition was life threatening, but she refused to be hospitalized. We called her family to convince her and she ultimately agreed to be hospitalized. During her hospitalization, she was transfused 12 units of packed red blood cells. On admission day 6, she was discharged home. Her hemoglobin level at discharge was 12.2 g/dl. She and her husband had no desire for childbearing. Total hysterectomy was performed (Fig. 2B); at 1 month postoperatively, the hemoglobin level was 11.9 g/dl and there had been no relapse.
Case 3
A 49-year-old woman with a history of heart failure was transported by ambulance to the emergency department of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Oita University due to abdominal pain and severe anemia. Blood testing revealed a hemoglobin level of 1.9 g/dl. Pelvic MRI showed multiple uterine fibroids with a maximum diameter of 8.5 cm (Fig. 1E and F). During her hospitalization, she was transfused 8 units of packed red blood cells and underwent treatment for heart failure. On admission day 5, she still needed oxygen and diuretics, although her hemoglobin level had improved to 5.9 g/dl. Nevertheless, the patient insisted on discharge owing to the lack of disease awareness, which might have been the cause for not seeking medical care previously. On admission day 9, she was discharged home. Her hemoglobin level at discharge was 9.2 g/dl. Total hysterectomy was performed (Fig. 2C); at 1 month postoperatively, the hemoglobin level was 11.2 g/dl and there had been no relapse.
The present report is the largest case series showing a detailed clinical course of patients with life-threatening anemia (hemoglobin levels <2.0 g/dl) caused by uterine fibroids. To date, only three cases of severe anemia with hemoglobin levels <2.0 g/dl have been reported (9,11,12). The present study summarized these and its own three cases in Table II. The patients' age ranged from 21 to 49 years, with an average of 35.2 years. All six patients were women. The hemoglobin levels ranged from 1.1 to 1.9 g/dl, with an average of 1.58 g/dl. Case 1 of the present study had the lowest hemoglobin level (1.1 g/dl) reported to date. Patients with anemia are in a state of high cardiac output because of decreased afterload and increased preload caused by decreased peripheral vascular resistance and viscosity (13). The compensatory mechanism of cardiac dynamics fails when hemoglobin falls below 2-3 g/dl, resulting in cardiac failure, further disruption of the systemic oxygen demand balance, organ congestion, generation of free radicals at the cellular level and imbalance of the coagulation-fibrinolytic system and the complement system. This can lead to free radical generation at the cellular level, imbalance in the coagulation-fibrinolytic and complement systems, disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiorgan failure (13). It is important to note that, despite the compensatory mechanisms, the complications of chronic anemia left untreated are not minor and can adversely affect cardiovascular function, worsen chronic conditions and ultimately lead to the development of multiple organ failure and even mortality (14). Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately identify and treat high-risk patients with severe anemia.
All three patients in the present study had a background of not seeking appropriate medical attention, which is in agreement with the existing literature (9,11,12). The cases of a socially vulnerable 42-year-old woman with a hemoglobin level of 1.4 g/dl (9), of a 21-year-old woman with mental retardation and a hemoglobin level of 1.7 g/dl (11) and of a 29-year-old woman with celiac disease and anorexia nervosa showing a hemoglobin level of 1.7 g/dl (12) were reported in 2021, 2013 and 2005, respectively. These findings suggested that the most important risk factors of a life-threatening anemia are the patient's mental, social and personal problems, rather than the organic and functional abnormalities of the uterus. Similar trends have been found in other serious diseases, such as malignant tumors. Patients with mental disorders and intellectual disabilities show a lower rate of early cancer detection owing to a lack of cancer screening participation, awareness and understanding of the disease (15-17). Especially, in cases of socially vulnerable patients, patients with mental retardation and patients with marked lack of disease awareness, it is necessary to perform follow-up examinations and early surgery in a preventive perspective. Many patients suffer from hypermenorrhea and prolonged menstruation; starting aggressive treatment at the right time is important for a woman's lifelong health, not just for menstrual and fertility problems. Patients who are not aware of their condition need to be approached by a physician.
All three presented cases were resolved by surgical treatment rather than embolization or hormonal therapy. It has been reported that embolization is better in short-term prognosis (3), but total hysterectomy is associated with better long-term satisfaction (4). The patients in the present study have not presented symptom recurrence since surgery. In addition, all three cases had one thing in common: The patients had never given birth. The factor with the greatest protective effect was parity; giving birth has been associated with a five-fold reduction in the risk of uterine fibroids requiring surgical treatment compared to nulliparity in a single-center study (1,18). In summary, women who have severe menorrhagia but lack disease awareness due to mental, social and personal problems are at high risk of life-threatening anemia. Early surgical intervention and blood transfusions may improve long-term prognosis, particularly in nulliparous women.
Uterine fibroids and uterine adenomyosis are both common diseases, but they are a hormone-dependent diseases, which means that they progress slowly with each menstruation and do not progress during periods of amenorrhea. Once a woman becomes pregnant, gives birth and breastfeeds, she will be amenorrheic for ~2 years; therefore, if she gives birth to five children, she will not experience menstruation for ~10 years in total. However, currently, women are giving birth at an older age and the trend is toward fewer births. In the days of repeated pregnancies, childbirth and lactation starting from the teenage years, the number of menstrual periods during a woman's lifetime was approximately 40, but today, when women have one or two children, the number exceeds 400(19). Thus, the prevalence of hormone-dependent conditions is expected to increase.
There were two limitations to the present study. First, there was a lack of anemia etiology and iron-related tests. The three cases presented here were considered to be of iron deficiency anemia owing to low MCV and persistent genital bleeding. Blood transfusion was prioritized over iron replacement therapy considering the urgency and severity. Second, the postoperative follow-up period was short.
In conclusion, the present study is the largest case series showing detailed clinical courses of patients with life-threatening anemia, with hemoglobin level <2.0 g/dl, caused by uterine fibroids. Additionally, Case 1 of the present series is the lowest hemoglobin level (1.1 g/dl) reported to date. The present cases and a review of the literature suggested that the most important risk factors of a life-threatening anemia were the patient's mental, social and personal factors, rather than the organic and functional abnormalities of the uterus. Patients who are not aware of the severity of their condition due to life-threatening anemia need to be approached by a physician.

An Apopka man was sentenced to 30 years in state prison following two May 2018 attacks on Titusville hotel housekeepers, the state attorney's office said.
Diderot Suffrena, 39, was sentenced by Circuit Judge Tesha Ballou to 30 yeas in state prison Thursday, state attorney spokesperson Todd Brown said.
Suffrena attacked, strangled and attempted to rape a housekeeper at a hotel in Titusville May 17, 2018, Titusville police records show. The housekeeper fought back and escaped. Based on the description she gave of the Suffrena, Brevard County Sheriff's deputies stopped him driving in Port. St. John soon after the attack, and the housekeeper identified him. He was placed under arrest.

As police investigated, Suffrena was linked to an earlier attack on May 8, 2018. Another housekeeper at the same hotel had reported being grabbed by a man as she was cleaning a room, police records show. She escaped and later identified Suffrena as the unknown man.
On July 22, Brevard jury convicted Suffrena on two counts of burglary of a dwelling with battery, one count of attempted sexual battery and two counts of battery, Brown said. Ballou dismissed the battery counts as lessor included offenses.
Suffrena was given credit for 717 days already served, Brown said. He is being held at Brevard County Jail and is awaiting transfer to the Florida Department of Corrections to serve his sentence.

Today's Mt Charleston Wedding in Las Vegas is of Micki & Matt. Micki and Matt were having a wedding reception later that evening at a local restaurant. Before their dinner celebration, they drove up to Mt Charleston to meet with me for a couples session in their wedding clothes. Mt Charleston is the ideal location for photos during the summer because it is quite a bit cooler up there. Typically a difference of at least 20 degrees.
Micki & Matt brought their two dogs, beautiful Sheppards, with them for their photo shoot. One of their friends happily joined along to help watch the dogs while I got pictures of the newlyweds. Part way through the session, Micki & Matt changed into something a little more casual to add some variety to the photos.

Today as part of my scrapbooking bridal theme I decided to make some flower cut outs using Tjomie Vintage stationery paper as a backgound and embellishing them with some vintage flatback swarovski crystal.
The paper is from the series of Hand embellished bridal cards that we do.
I love the way the crystal was packaged. It looks so neat and tidy in its little paper envelope and then when you open it up there amongst the layers of paper inside are the most precious sparkling crystals just waiting to be used..
Sort of like Aladdins cave ..would you not say?
I found a home for the flatbacks on each little flower cut out and packaged them for the New York show to have together with the rest of our scrapbooking kits.
These flowers are part of a range that we will present. I love the scrapbooking kit it goes with ... take a look...
This is our vintage bridal kit that I really love.
Each kit will be able to be ordered with a matching hand embellished card ,tags and paper..to see all the greeting cards from the Hand Embellished series you can just pop over to Tjomies vintage stationery website and take a look.
More to follow tomorrow - part 3 of vintage scrapbooking kits.
By the way all these kits will be available to buy online at Tjomies from the end of May.
