I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The sunshine and weather was gorgeous the past few days. It's a marvelous time out in the garden to see everything bursting with life. There is definitely lots of garden chores ahead and getting things ready. The whole process to me is pure joy.
Today spring is finally here. I took a few photos of what I have found already growing quickly in the garden. I hope you enjoy them.
I couldn't resist the temptation to dig and work in the garden. As you know the weather can take a turn for the worst this time of year. All of the gathered seed pods from last year's blooms have been scattered about. This usually is the case so that plants I like can pop up everywhere and of course removing the strays that get too close to the more established giants.
I also couldn't resist sharing some spring like recipes. Bright pink radishes, vibrant sweet peas and seductive purple carrots all favor a splash of fresh colorful flavor.
Can you smell spring in the air? It is glorious!

RIP Pal Cabron
I am saddened to report on yet another restaurant closing in my neighborhood. Pal Cabron opened with much fanfare and seemed destined for success. It was a spinoff of the popular Guelaguetza Oaxacan restaurant and it had fabulous cemitas, including my favorite La Muy Muy, a pork milanesa with pickled peppers, quesillo and the papalo herb on a big, fresh sweet bun. I was seriously obsessed with this place for several months after it opened.
I still need my neighborhood cemita fix so I guess I better start checking out the local cemitas trucks.
Rest in peace cabron.

Without a crystal ball, seeing 15 years into the future of fluid power isn't easy. But thinking about tomorrow helps us makes plans for today. That's why H&P interviewed a range of people in the industry — professors, researchers, users, manufacturers, consultants — to find out what they think the future of fluid power holds.
A focus on systems
The trend toward designing around systems, rather than individual components, has been underway for several years. And there seems to be widespread agreement that this trend will continue over the next decade and beyond.
"Systems that are simple to install, connect, and service — as well as components with modularity — are becoming more and more a priority," says Ed Bickel, district sales manager for Bosch Rexroth's Pneumatic Div.
Tom Wanke, Director of the Fluid Power Institute at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), sees the complete integration of a hydraulic system into the actuator, including the prime mover, pump, and reservoir for true distributed operation and control.
The key to making this a reality is establishing and maintaining a true partnership between academia and industry, says Jack Johnson, noted author and contributing editor to H&P.
"The NFPA has launched a research program, however, it's focused on traditional academic definitions of what research should consist of, namely product development and enhancement. Industrialists have to understand the future of fluid power is enhanced when the greatest possible number of people understand systems on a quantitive level." This means academics must provide models, as well as modeling methods, that applications engineers can understand and implement with user-friendly software.
Computers and modeling
New design methods will be used in the future, many of which will involve computers to help engineers visualize their work, such as virtual design, virtual prototypes, and virtual testing. These processes will also tie into our increasingly global world, allowing designers and users in separate geographical locations to work on a project, transferring models through email or a computer network.
"A remarkable amount of development costs can be saved by building virtual prototypes instead of real ones. Hydraulically driven machines will develop more modularity, so the most suitable power, transmission, and modules can be easily connected," says Prof. Kari Koskinen of Finland's Tampere University of Technology. "Virtual prototypes also allow the testing of real hardware or software operation before building the whole system."
Jonny Carlos da Silva, of Brazil's University of Santa Catarina, agrees. "Due to the increasing complexity of fluid power systems, especially with integration of electronics and other domains, dynamic simulations will play an important role in improving the design process and reducing cost and time-to-market," he says.
Prof. Tom Labus, MSOE, adds that many competitive technologies have had these types of design and simulation tools for many years. "This has put fluid power at a disadvantage in being able to provide end-users with information other than simple package size and dimensions," he says.
But will all this modeling actually lead to any breakthroughs in the fluid power field? According to Johnson, it will. "Improved modeling will lead to new discoveries, especially regarding system efficiencies and control methods, which will produce system designs that aren't conceivable with the current models taught by our two-and four-year colleges."
Prof. Richard Burton of the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, thinks we're getting there. "With the understanding we have gained over the years from R&D, we have a good handle on some of the fundamental physical properties and characteristics of sliding and rotating parts. This will allow sophisticated modeling programs to be refined so that rapid prototyping can become a reality for most hydraulic applications."
Prof. Wayne Book of Georgia Tech believes integration of fluid components with electronic sensors and controls is next. "Pressure and displacement sensors will be the basis for advanced control algorithms implemented inside the components and coordinated with digital networks." This will produce better control at a lower cost, with fewer complications or leakage, he says.
Another interesting way the computer may play a greater role in tomorrow's fluid power systems is from a tuning perspective. Peter Nachtwey, president of Delta Computer Systems, says that once basic functionality is established, motion systems can be tuned more precisely in less time if the performance of the system can be displayed and tuned using graphical tools.
"In the future, diagnostic tools won't be used solely for identifying problems, they will also be used for system setup, tuning, and ongoing production optimization. Ultimately, motion systems will be able to — within reason — tune themselves."
Frank Latino, product manager for valve terminals and electronics for Festo Corp., stresses that in pneumatics, the integration of web-based information technology into components will bring amazing results. "The service is primarily condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and diagnostics," says Latino. "Pneumatic companies will provide web-enabled products. We will probably see more wireless-based Ethernet technology. End users will either monitor and maintain their own systems, or farm this responsibility out to a service provider."
Via web technologies, companies-will collect plant data related to pneumatic systems. This data will help in maintenance decisions, increase energy savings, and improve uptime and reliability.
Super components
Individual fluid power components will surely see remarkable advancements in the coming years. While conceding that it's a risky prediction, Book postulates that new small-scale applications could grow out of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) and similar technologies. "MEMS technology is producing tiny actuators, sensors, and controllers. They are currently used in medical and similar applications. With the need for small-scale systems with somewhat larger motions, it seems that fluid power has some natural advantages," he says. Applications could include medical, prosthetics, and robotics.
Burton has an exciting view of embedded condition monitoring systems in all components. "The computer and microprocessor technology exists to physically do this, and the fundamental methods for the implementation of condition monitoring are well established for many applications."
Components will continue to see higher pressure while they become lighter and more compact. According to Labus, competitive pressures from alternate technologies will continue to require increases in powerto-weight and power-to-volume ratios. Increases in operating pressure will continue until other restrictions on component size, such as rod buckling for cylinders or manufacturing requirements, become the limiting criteria.
Wanke, too, sees the higher operating pressures, estimating them to reach the 10,000-20,000 psi range. "This would have to be accompanied by strong, lightweight composites or other types of materials that would ensure safe, reliable, and energy-efficient systems." He also foresees 100% zero external leakage systems down the proverbial road. These might be sealed with a non-toxic, contaminant-free fluid that would last as long as rest of the system.
Electrohydraulics: Boon or bane?
It's difficult to think very far ahead without weighing in on the role of hydraulics and electronics integration. Some say purely electrical systems will one day completely replace fluid power. Others insist electrics will instead play a vital role in keeping fluid power meaningful.
Labus thinks fluid power will see continued electrical integration. "The intelligence provided by electronics will continue to form the basis for smart fluid power systems. For example, using low-cost automotive sensor technology can improve the intelligence of fluid power systems."
But Bud Trinkel, fluid power consultant and frequent contributor to H&P, thinks too much emphasis is put on the mingling of the two technologies. "It's a great thing, but it's not what will save fluid power ... it will replace it in industry in all but high force applications," he says.
Roland Keller, market application engineer for Bosch Rexroth, feels momentum is clearly on the side of electrical integration. "Using smart hydraulics enables you to position and control force at a lesser cost than electromechanical drives," he says. He notes that in linear applications, cylinders are superior to ballscrews. Ballscrew wear affects the ability to control an axis, degrading system performance.
"Typical wear items of cylinders are rod seals, which don't affect system performance," he explains. "If used with gland drain ports, the seal wear can be monitored and become part of preemptive maintenance."
Products get in the mix
Prof. Hubertus Murrenhoff of IFAS in Aachen, Germany, says more product integration is inevitable. "We'll see valves with integratedsensors and electromechanicaldrives. Digital electronics itself will become more integrated, but will also be integrated into the next level — meaning the cylinders and other actuators." Murrenhoff feels this can also translate into fluid power systems with micro turbines to drive pumps in mobile equipment or the integration of pumps and electric motors.
Johnson also sees many components going electronic. "The use of electronics to control will continue to grow and become the dominant mode of performing logic functions," he says. "The use of hydraulic logic will continue to decline and will be used where it's the only feasible method."
Johnson also believes that electrohydraulically controlled pumps will replace valves as the control method of choice because of the inherent energy loss of valves.
"Electronically controlled, variable-displacement pumps will benefit from reduced manufacturing costs born of economies of scale, forcing the retirement of valves as controllers." Johnson sees a potential for huge return on investment, which will encourage pump designers to develop new control methods while increasing their dynamic bandwidths. This could bring these pumps into even the most critical applications.
Book notes a side benefit to electrohydraulics. "With electrohydraulics being the norm and user satisfaction and productivity paramount, haptic [tactile] control sticks with a more natural correspondence to the task will be expected and provided. Engineered feel and safety constraints will be automatically provided."
Eye on the environment
Environmental effects are at the forefront of everyone's mind these days, especially in fluid power, where the potential damage is great if a system is improperly designed. But designing in environmental safety doesn't have to mean sacrificing performance. Johnson thinks a whole new world of low-pressure water hydraulic systems will arise, including consumer products — all made from plastics and composites. He feels some new materials will find their way into oil hydraulics as they demonstrate greater stress capabilities.
Along the same lines, Labus argues that the use of nontraditional fluids with improved properties in the areas of bulk modulus, vapor pressure, and thermal conductivity could improve component/ system dynamic response, enhance cavitation resistance allowing a wider bandwidth, and shrink or eliminate the need for a separate heat exchanger.
Book notes the mitigation of noise and leakage are equally important. "Some applications will be lost due to these issues before it happens," he says. "Active control of pump pulsations might be viable as an alternative."
Whatever happens, environmental issues will still be a strong controller of technology development in the future because sustainable growth is a global issue, says Koskinen. "The use of water-based fluids and water hydraulics will increase slowly due to tightening environmental laws and insurance costs. Also growing production of water hydraulic components will decrease prices, which are still quite high."
Improved efficiency
Koskinen points out that total efficiency of hydraulic driven machines is still very low — under 5% for some mobile hydraulic systems. He feels new control systems, materials, and design methods will boost efficiency, but a lot of R&D is still necessary.
Book thinks new valving concepts will overcome traditional constraints to efficiency and performance. "Some valve designs such as the use of poppet-type valves instead of spool valves, or inherently unstable valves for fast, direct actuation will be made practical by virtue of integrated sensors and controllers," he says.
Labus notes advanced lubrication design is another area of potential improvement. "The loss of volumetric efficiency at low displacements limits the use of hydraulic components over wide displacement ranges. Advanced contact materials could significantly reduce lubrication leakage losses and increase the overall efficiency across a wider displacement range."
Prof. Monika Ivantysynova of Purdue University sees displacement control replacing resistance control as a major trend in efficiency. "Variable pumps and motors must be used as the final control element of fluid power actuators and drives," she says.
Ivantysynova contends this will help make fluid power systems more efficient. Less energy dissipation means less heat generation. The replacement of control valves leads to simpler systems by reducing the number of interfaces and fittings. "Displacement control actuators are much easier to control than valve-controlled actuators, where two different control elements — the control valve of the actuator and the pump supplying the actuator — must be simultaneously managed."
Use of the flow control valve has to stop, says Burton. "New approaches to flow modulation must be attempted if we want to be competitive. Hydrostatic systems can meet this need, but more must be done to make them practical for smaller loading type conditions."
Trinkel sees variable-frequencydrive electric motors driving fixed volume pumps as a great step forward in energy use. This combination gives infinitely variable speed at any pressure with minimum energy waste and system shock. Leaks will be less, heat will be less, components will last longer and circuits will be less complicated.
Educating the engineer of the future
It is always dangerous to predict the future of anything. In 1977, Ken Olsen, the founder of Digital Equipment Corp., felt there was no reason for anyone to have a computer in his home. Even Bill Gates was heard to say in 1981 that "640 k ought to be enough for anybody." These men were experts and innovators in the field, and they still got it wrong. However, despite such uncertainty, it is essential that engineering education become more future oriented and less of an accumulation of reactions to the past.
When I was a student, you could always tell the engineers by the way they looked: crew cut, pocket protector, and a slide rule hanging from the belt. In those days, engineering graduates sought out a job at a great American company and worked there for their entire career.
Today, the lines between disciplines are becoming increasingly interwoven, and the time-honored understanding of engineering as a whole is becoming less distinct. To many, it's no longer clear where science stops and engineering starts, or even where engineering stops and business begins. It's enough to make one wonder whether the traditional engineer as a species will still exist fifty years from now, or whether engineering will become indistinguishable among the many overlapping disciplines and interdisciplinary combinations.
What is clear is that we cannot compete in this economic climate by offering the same old solutions. The advantages of our global competitors lie at the end of the spectrum where processes and products have been standardized and become routine. Our opportunity is at the other end of the spectrum with creative, innovative, high-end products and services that offer higher value. To lead the way at the high end of the economic spectrum, we need to build an economy based on innovation.
India and China are emerging as economic powers in part because they are steadfastly investing in building world-class education systems that produce skilled technology workers such as engineers. BusinessWeek recently reported that India's schools are pumping out 260,000 engineers a year who will work for salaries much lower than in this country. China is graduating more engineers than any other country in the world — more than twice as many as the U.S. — and Russia has a many high-quality engineers who are welcoming U.S. companies to open shop there.
In stark contrast, the number of American students earning engineering degrees began to decline in the early 1980s. For a while, we were able to offset that decline at the graduate level by attracting outstanding foreign students to fill our classrooms, and many of them stayed to take jobs in our workforce. However, those international students who still come are much more likely to return home because good jobs now await them in their own countries.
U.S. engineering education stands to be marginalized if we are passive. The education we provide to engineers must prepare them to move beyond merely fulfilling a technological function and become leaders in making wise decisions about technology and setting policies that will foster innovation.
Engineers have always been "doers," but the presence of technology in every aspect of life now calls for us to become "deciders," as well. The skills and perceptions of engineers make us well suited to play a broader leadership role in today's technological world, and the expectations of the world for engineers are higher than in the past.
We can no longer invent technology in a vacuum and put in on the shelf without concerning ourselves with the broader problems it might solve or create. The question is not merely how we can improve a piece of technology, but rather how we can change it to better serve society as a whole.
In an effort to imagine engineering's future role as a profession and suggest how engineering education can help prepare its graduates for that role, the National Academy of Engineering's Committee on Engineering Education launched the Engineer of 2020 initiative. In the traditional paradigm, change came to the engineering curriculum as an after-the-fact response to a development in industry or event in society. For example, engineering education responded to the successful launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union by adding more science-based material to the curriculum. The Engineer of 2020 initiative wants to turn that process on its head by thinking creatively about the challenges of the future and examining bold and innovative ideas in engineering education.
Engineering educators have not been sitting on their hands. Dartmouth University and Smith College are pioneering a curriculum with a humanities focus. The military academies offer a model that incorporates strong leadership training. Institutions like Drexel, Northeastern, Kettering, and Georgia Tech incorporate a strong cooperative education component.
One way to address the challenges facing engineering educators is to develop multiple tracks, so that students choose a direction that fits their goals and abilities. The standard curriculum might be maintained as a straight technological track, while alternate tracks are developed to offer a stronger focus in other areas.
Another idea is to follow the trail already blazed before us by professions like architecture, business, and law of making the master's degree the first professional degree. This plan would provide more time for the educational process, making room to add important new elements and skills.
We also need to engage the help of the federal government. The past ten years have witnessed the decline of federal support for engineering research and the disappearance of scholarship and fellowship programs designed to encourage U.S. students to undertake advanced study. This is a critical problem, because we cannot generate the innovation on which our economy increasingly relies without new technology from research and without the help of an educated corps of students who have had advanced engineering studies.
Rather than allowing engineering to disappear in a sea of interdisciplinary fields, we can craft exciting education programs that enable it to move to the fore and offer the technological leadership and expertise the world needs to prosper.

Tangled in Red Tape
It seems as though we will never be able to navigate the red tape maze which the state creates for those who need services. As of now, we have Cody's caseworker calling me and asking me if he has been enrolled in his new program, and I have the program directors calling me and asking if he has been approved for enrollment. No one has told me anything one way or the other. And apparently, not only are the agencies not communicating with me, they are also not communicating with each other. This seems a less than optimal example of our hard-earned tax dollars at work!
Several weeks ago I had faxed paperwork from the new program for Cody's primary care physician to fill out. It was a simple form asking for details regarding Cody's last annual physical. I signed the consent forms and asked Cody's doctor to please fill in answers to the questions and then fax or send the form to the new program director. But did that happen? Of course not. Roughly a week went by and I received copies of the form in the mail from Cody's doctor's office. Silly me. I thought that surely these were just copies for my records and they had also faxed or sent copies to the program director. However, I decided to call the program director and make sure. She hadn't received anything from Cody's doctor. So I faxed the records to her.
One might have thought this would be sufficient. But then I found out Cody had to have a current negative reading for tuberculosis (TB) which was not included. There was one more trip to the doctor's office. But that I could understand. TB can be a deadly disease and it is more prevalent than many people think. So I wasn't willing to put my son or anyone else at risk.
However, I was a bit taken aback when they also asked for vaccination records. Cody is nearly 27 years old. Some of his shots were given by his pediatrician. Some were given at school. And some were given through the county health department. And all of them were administered years ago.
Cody completed all of preschool, elementary, middle school and high school through the public school system. All public schools in Missouri require parents of students to provide vaccination records before the enrollment process can be completed. Does it not make sense to the state that Cody's had all of his vaccinations?
I was able to get a copy of Cody's vaccination record from his pediatrician's office, but that only includes the shots he had during the years I took him to that particular doctor and the ones just prior. Will I have to call each of the other agencies to get copies of the shots they gave him? How long will that take?
When I worked for agencies which fell under the state's jurisdiction, I was required to have a TB test but I didn't have to provide my vaccination records. Does this program also require staff members to provide records of their vaccinations? They could be carriers of any of those diseases just as easily as any of those who are the recipients of their services. After all, these are not young children who are enrolled in this program. They are adults as well.
When I did receive a call from Cody's caseworker last week she also told me that in spite of all of the information I have provided she still has not heard of any decision as to whether or not Cody has been approved for the speech evaluation and therapy sessions we have requested. So the waiting game goes on there as well.
I feel as though I have been asked to do everything just short of performing the 10 basic moves of ballet and it has gotten us nowhere. I only pray it doesn't take an act of Congress. I would be glad to give them a dance recital if that is what they wished, but we all know Congress ceased to act on anything long ago.

18 This number was added to the upper right corner by someone other than Henry Adams.
Cambridge. 2 June. 1872.
My dear Lodge,
Your letter of
16th. arrived safely a few days since
and gave me the pleasant sensation
of thinking that I may after all have
done good at College; if you
ever try it, you will know how very
doubtful a teacher feels of his own
success, and how much a bit of en-
couragement does for him. Poor
Simpson's death, too, seemed utterly
disheartening. What is the use of
only to die at the start!
There is only one way to look at
life, and that is the practical way.
Keep clear of mere sentiment whenever
you have to decide a practical ques-
tion. Sentiment is very attractive and
I like it as well as most people, but
nothing in the way of action is worth
much which is not practically sound.
The question is whether the
historico-literary line is practically
worth following; not whether it will
amuse or improve you. Can you
make it pay? either in money, reputa-
tion, or any other solid value.
Now you will think for a mo-
ment of the most respectable and
respected products of our town of Bos-
ton, I think you will see at once that
this profession does pay. No one has
done better and won more in any
business or pursuit, than has been
acquired by men like Prescott, Motley,
Frank Parkman, Bancroft, and so on
in historical writing; none of them men
of extraordinary gifts, or who would
have been likely to do very much in
the world if they had chosen differently.
What they did, can be done by others.
Further, there is a great opening
here at this time. Boston is running
dry of literary authorities. Anyone
self here as a species of literary lion
with ease, for there is no rival to contest
the throne. With it, comes social dig-
nity, European reputation, and a
foreign mission to close.
To do it, requires patient study,
long labor, and perseverance that
knows no limit. The Germans have
these qualities beyond all other races.
Learn to appreciate and to use the Germ-
an historical method, and your style
can be elaborated at leisure. I should
think you could do this here.
I shall be in
London, I hope, on
the 1st. August, to be heard of at Barings.
If we are there together, we will have a dinner,
and talk it over. Remember me to your wife

Stylish linen-blend trousers, perfect for work or travel. Combine them with our Malay Jacket to create a smart, comfortable and cool outfit. Read more…
Low maintenance linen. It's a Rohan thing.
Our Performance Linen™ fabric is something we are very proud of. It provides all the style and comfort of linen without the lived-in, unmade bed look.
These elegantly-tailored trousers look great on their own or worn with our smart Malay Jacket. They've got all the wonderful character of classic linen clothing but with one major advantage - after a long day at the office they won't look like you're in the market for a new steam iron.
With an internal zipped pocket for your valuables, good looks and machine-washable low-maintenance style, our Malay trousers are a great choice for business or travel, or both at the same time.
Fabric: Performance Linen™ 55% linen 45% polyester. Size LIATALIA Taupe Bag Womens Suede ASHLEY Large Leather Tassle Shoulder Fringe Deep Weight: 320g Pack Size: 780ml Drying Time: 4 hours
Pocket science at Rohan is all about precision and detail of design, but most of all, it's about keeping your most important stuff safe at times when losing keys, passports and wallet is more than just an inconvenience. We use several different methods – whichever is the most appropriate. Some pockets are completely hidden with micro zips, some are touch and close with roll-over tops and some are high quality zips.
Staying cool in the heat is actually more challenging than keeping warm in the cold. The most effective fabric technology is to use open weave structures that disperse heat through convective cooling.
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970's we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Low pack size is a benefit whether you're packing for a day's walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It's easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing. Rohan is your constant companion for every journey, whatever the journey.

Mina Loy's Life
Gillian Hanscombe and Virginia L. Smyers
from Writing for Their Lives: The Modernist Women, 1910-1940 (Boston: Northeastern University Press, 1987) 112-128
Born Mina Gertrude Lowy in 1882, [Mina Loy] was the daughter of a second-generation Hungarian Jewish father and an English Protestant mother. Her first avocation was art, and she studied painting in Munich for two years after leaving school at 17. On her return to London, she continued art classes, including one taught by Augustus John. . . . Loy moved from Victorian England to impressionist Paris, to futurist Florence, to bohemian Greenwich Village and back to expatriate Paris during her long career. . . . Painter, poet, actress, playwright, feminist, mother, designer, conceptual artist - her range of skills and experience make it difficult to place her too squarely in any one artistic category. . . . During Mina's time spent as an art student in London, she became involved with a fellow student called Stephen Haweis. They moved to Paris to paint and were married there in 1903. Instead of taking her husband's name, Mina changed "Lowy" to "Loy," struggling with the now-familiar feminist dilemma of trying to choose and define what's in a name. Though she continued to paint, she became pregnant and her first child, Oda, was born in May 1904. By 1905 she was a frequent guest at the pre-Toklas Stein salon where - in addition to Leo and Gertrude - she met Apollinaire, Picasso and Rousseau. She became a lifelong friend of Gertrude. Oda died on her first birthday, and the marriage was already faltering by the time [Loy and Haweis] moved to Florence later in the same year. Nevertheless, Mina quickly had two further children, Joella in 1907 and Giles in 1908. . . . During their ten years in Florence, both Mina and Haweis took lovers and developed their separate lives. Mina continued to paint and draw, and began to write, doing her best to marry Art with Life: "My conceptions of life evolved while . . . stirring baby food on spirit lamps-- and my best drawings behind a stove to the accompaniment of a line of children's clothes hanging round it to dry." In 1913 and 1914, though she was coping with motherhood, a soured marriage, lovers, and her own artistic aspirations, Mina found time to notice and take part in the emerging Italian Futurist movement, led by Filippo Marinetti, and to read Stein's The Making of Americans in manuscript. She became, also, at this time, a lifelong convert to Christian Science. By now an intimate of Mabel Dodge . . . Mina met the imported New Yorkers who flocked to Dodge's Villa Curonia: John Reed, Dodge's current lover; Carl Van Vechten; Neith Boyce; Hutchins Hapgood; and others. These contacts would later give Mina entry into the Greenwich Village avant-garde circuit. . . . Mina's first published work appeared in 1914 as the result of her New York contacts, in Alfred Steiglitz's magazine Camera Work and in Carl Van Vechten's Trend. "Aphorisms on Futurism" and her poems aroused considerable interest in New York bohemian circles, and when a group of poets--disaffected with the editorial policy of Harriet Monroe's Poetry magazine--decided to found a new journal, Mina Loy was their rallying point. The new magazine, Others, appeared in 1915, with Mina Loy's "Love Songs" prominently displayed. The poems were much talked about in New York avant-garde circles. The text used intimate material from her own life and were frank to the point of being shocking. Meanwhile Mina continued sending poems and prose pieces to Mabel Dodge and Carl Van Vechten, relying on them to send the work on to appropriate little magazines in New York. . . . In 1916, she [left her] children with a nurse and set sail for New York ... [There] Mina met up with old friends. . . . Alfred Kreymbourg welcomed her into his circle, which included Walter and Louise Arensberg--financial backers of Others--and Man Ray, William Carlos Williams and Marianne Moore. Within a few weeks she was drawn into the Provincetown Players, in December of 1916 playing the lead in Kreymbourg's experimental play Lima Beans. . . . Established in the New York bohemian circle, Mina shone. But then she met Arthur Cravan. Born Fabien Avernarius Lloyd in 1887, Cravan was a nephew of Oscar Wilde's wife Constance Lloyd. Known as the "poet-boxer," he was a "fugitive, forger, and master of disguise who had eluded military authorities and conscription officers for two years as he roamed through Central and Western Europe." . . . He'd lived for a while in Paris, becoming intimate with the avant-garde painters and starting a journal called Maintenant, a polemical organ consisting solely of his own writing. . . . By the time he arrived in New York in 1917, he had connections with the Arensberg salon, and it was there that he and Mina Loy met. Mina was waiting for her divorce from Haweis to be finalized. . . .[She and Cravan] had only six months together, since he had to flee the country in order to evade the military draft. By September 1917 he was in Canada; by December in Mexico, from where he wrote to Mina, pleading with her to come to him. . . . Mina left New York immediately. Her divorce was finalized, and she married Cravan in Mexico City. Her children remained in Florence with their nurse while she and Cravan moved around Mexico, he earning money from boxing matches. When she became pregnant, she sailed on a hospital ship to Buenos Aires where she intended to wait for Cravan. . . . But Cravan never appeared; nor was he ever seen again. Mina finally sailed alone to England, where she spent the winter with her mother, and where [Cravan's and her] daughter Fabienne was born on 5 April 1919. In the summer of that year, Mina returned to Florence to her two older children, now aged 14 and 12. She tried to pick up her old life in her villa there, but was obsessed by Cravan. His body was never found, and this preyed on her. Desperate, she left Florence in March 1920 to look for him. Leaving all three children behind, she sailed for New York. Renewing her contacts, she became involved again with the Provincetown Players and with the modern poets. . . .[In 1923 Loy returned to Paris with Fabienne, and opened a lampshade business with the financial backing of Peggy Guggenheim.] Mina designed the shades herself, and soon expanded into glass novelties, paper cut-outs and painted flower arrangements. She had a studio in which to work, and Peggy Guggenheim arranged exhibitions and sales on her frequent trips to New York. . . . [Loy's first book Lunar Baedecker was published by Robert McAlmon's Contact Press in 1923.] This was Mina's only published book until Lunar Baedeker & Time Tables in 1958, although long sections of her autobiographical poem "Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose" appeared in The Little Review in 1923 and in McAlmon's Contact Collection of Contemporary Writers in 1925. During those years, Mina renewed her friendship with Djuna Barnes and . . . with Gertrude Stein. . . .In 1930 Mina Gave up the lampshade business and started working for her son-in-law [Julien Levy] as the Paris agent for his New York gallery. She published hardly anything during the 1930s, although she did begin to paint again. In 1936 she left Paris for New York, where she lived first with her daughter Fabienne in Lower Manhattan and then by herself in the Bowery. . . . Her chief interest came to be the Bowery bums, about whom she wrote poems and began to assemble "constructions": montages of street scenes made out of "found objects" from the streets around her. . . .At the age of 71 Mina finally left New York forever and moved out to Colorado, where both of her daughters lived. . . . [In] 1951 a New York gallery exhibited her Bowery "constructions." Mina didn't attend the opening, although a number of her old friends were there, including Djuna, Peggy Guggenheim and Kay Boyle. She remained in Colorado, working on her last creations, her "experiments in junk." Mina had never let go of Cravan Her last poem ["Letters of the Unliving"] was about him. . . . She died in Aspen, Colorado, in 1966, at the age of 84.
From Gillian Hanscombe and Virginia L. Smyers, Writing for Their Lives: The Modernist Women, 1910-1940 (Boston: Northeastern University Press, 1987) 112-128
Virginia M. Kouidis
Loy, Mina (27 Dec. 1882-25 Sept. 1966), poet and artist, was born Mina Gertrude Lowy in London, England, the daughter of Sigmund Lowy, a tailor, and Julia Bryan. Loy received little formal education but at age seventeen was sent to art school in Munich. In 1901-1902 she returned to England, where she studied with the English painter Augustus John and began to exhibit her painting. It was also during this time that she met her first husband, art student Stephen Haweis (Hugh Oscar William Haweis). In 1903 Loy moved to Paris to study painting, married Haweis, and changed her name to Loy, a change, she remembered, that she "adopted in a spirit of mockery," in response to her husband's old and distinguished family name, which was pronounced "Hoyes" (Burke, pp. 66, 97). Loy and Haweis had three children; the first daughter died in infancy, the son in his teens.
In Paris Loy became acquainted with leading modernists and was elected a member of the Salon d'Autumne for 1906. She and Haweis then moved to Florence, Italy, and joined the city's Anglo-American community. Loy's friendships and romances with the Italian Futurists became fodder for her satires of machismo, but the Futurists helped to shape her revolutionary poetic. The tone and rhetoric of their manifestos encouraged her rejection of poetic convention, while Marinetti's "parole in liberta" encouraged her experiments with typography and free verse.
In 1915 Loy began to consider a trip to the United States to obtain a divorce and earn a living as a designer. Her arrival in New York City in December 1916 was preceded by the appearance of her poems in the American little magazines Trend, Rogue, and Others. She introduced herself in Camera Work (Jan. 1914) with "Aphorisms on Futurism." Declaring that "TODAY is the crisis in consciousness," this manifesto of psychic liberation anticipated Loy's designation as the "Modern Woman" by the New York Evening Sun (Feb. 1917). Her divorce from Haweis was final in 1917.
Among the artistic expatriates from World War I gathered in New York, Loy met proto-Dadaist Arthur Cravan (Fabian Avenarius Lloyd). Loy and Cravan married in Mexico City in January 1918; in November he disappeared, having ventured out to sea in a sailing boat from Salina Cruz, Mexico, and was never seen again. After the birth of their daughter, Loy searched for Cravan in Europe and the United States and then became a notable figure in Paris in the 1920s.
Loy drew on her family life and marriages to express her modernism, which originated in her rebellion against late-Victorian gender definitions, whereby oppressed mothers enforced patriarchal repression on defenseless daughters. In her satire on gender and genre expectations, the poetic allegory Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose (1923-1925), she is Ova, the mongrel daughter of Exodus, son of a Hungarian Jewish immigrant, and Alice, his disillusioned English "Rose"; Haweis is Esau Penfold, the "Infant Aesthete"; and Cravan is Colossus, the pugilistic enfant terrible.
Loy had already made innovations in poetic form, as exemplified in "Parturition" (Trend, Nov. 1914), a startling verbal and rhythmic rendering of birth and rebirth that had a shocking effect at the time it was published. On the page, it typographically depicts consciousness moving on waves of pain between animality and metaphysical analysis. Loy's poetry is distinguished by a verbal virtuosity that Ezra Pound labeled "logopoeia" and defined as "a dance of the intelligence among words and ideas and modification of ideas and characters." Its movement between abstraction and vivid image suggests the French philosopher Henri Bergson's theory of consciousness as the flux between intellection and intuition, a theory in which Loy had immersed herself.
Loy's most notorious poem is Love Songs or Songs to Joannes (Others, Apr. 1917), a thirty-four poem collage of failed love that satirizes the male love-song tradition. The first four poems created a small scandal when they launched Others, edited by Alfred Kreymborg, in July 1915. Love Songs follows Christina Rossetti's Monna Innominata in letting the beloved woman speak. Loy's "I", however, objectifies the male lover with an un-Rossettian irreverence. The popular love poetry of Sara Teasdale and Edna St. Vincent Millay pales to sentimental cliché before the Love Songs's eroticism and deflation of romantic love:
Pig Cupid his rosy snout
Rooting erotic garbage
Loy expressed her preoccupation with self-realization through the image of "I-eye." The eyes in the poems of the 1910s belong to dissatisfied women: "A thousand women's eyes / Riveted to the unrealizable." In the 1920s they are the unflinching visionary eyes of admired artists: Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Constantin Brancusi, and Wyndham Lewis. In a tightening of her free verse line, Loy structures these portraits as concise, visually brilliant stanzas that Yvor Winters called "images that have frozen into epigrams." A memorable example comes from "Lunar Baedeker," a satire of failed artistic vision. Many of these art poems appeared in the Dial and were collected with earlier poems in Lunar Baedecker [sic] (1923). The title alludes to the Baedeker travel guides used throughout Europe; Loy was mapping a journey to sites of the imagination beyond the poetic loci honored by tradition.
In 1936 Loy joined her daughters, Joella and Fabi, in New York, having become haunted by the specter of German expansionism and, being of Jewish birth, fearful of the Nazis' lethal anti-Semitism. Care-worn, she felt alien in the American metropolis. One of her few friendships of this period was with the artist Joseph Cornell, creator of exquisite, enigmatic box constructions, some of which Loy helped to inspire. Increasingly reclusive, Loy moved in 1949 to the Bowery, lower Manhattan's skid row. Her few published poems of this period pursue the theme of unrealized vision. Her subjects are often society's rejects, like her Bowery neighbors in the poem "Hot Cross Bum" (New Directions in Prose and Poetry 12 [1950]). They are "misfortune's monsters," betrayed by alcohol into a false "Elysium." Her artistic interest then centered on collages created from objects found in the city's streets. These were exhibited as "Constructions" at New York's Bodley Gallery in 1959.
A forgotten participant in the American poetry revolution of 1912 to 1925, Loy was known among contemporaries for her startling free verse analysis of sexuality, her beauty, and her dramatic life. The rediscovery of her radical modernism, signaled by Jonathan Williams's 1958 collection of her poetry, Lunar Baedeker & Time-Tables, has continued in feminist challenges to the high modernist canon.
Neglect of Loy's poetry has lent qualified support to revisionist claims that leading male modernists like T. S. Eliot, Pound, and Joyce defined modernism so as to marginalize writers whose poetics and politics threatened their own largely conservative stance. However, Eliot and Pound praised Loy's work. In the Prologue to Kora in Hell (1920), William Carlos Williams singles out Loy and Marianne Moore as the South and North poles of the poetry landscape. High modernist champions of technical innovation and intellectual rigor could not accuse Loy of formal conservatism or sentimentality. Literary historians may have marginalized Loy by making her a modernist icon, woman-as-Dada, while relegating her writing to avant-garde obscurity; but equally relevant is Loy's lessened attention to her poetry in later life. When she died in Aspen, Colorado, where she had lived with her daughters since 1953, she was known mostly through the memoirs of her contemporaries. Renewed interest in her poetry belongs to the recovery of the neglected, multiple aspects of early modernism. In The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933) Stein, whom Loy praised as "Curie / of the laboratory / of vocabulary," offers a definitive tribute to Loy's artistic vision. Recalling Loy's first husband's plea that she punctuate the long sentences without commas in The Making of Americans (1925), Stein notes that "Mina Loy . . . was able to understand without the commas. She has always been able to understand."
Loy's papers are in Yale University's Beinecke Library. Published works not mentioned above include Auto-Facial-Constructions (1919), Psycho-Democracy (1920) and a 1930s novel, Insel (1991), about the German surrealist painter Rochard Oelze. Roger L. Conover edited a Jargon Press edition of the poetry, The Last Lunar Baedeker (1982), and an edition published by Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, The Last Lunar Baedeker: Poems of Mina Loy (1966); Conover has also edited The Autobiography of Mina Loy: "Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose" and "Colossus''. The first half of Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose originally appeared in the Little Review 9 (Spring 1923): 10-18 and 9 (Autumn-Winter 1923-1924): 41-51; the second half, in Contact Collection of Contemporary Writers (1925). Early critical commendations of her poetry include Ezra Pound, " 'Others,' " the Little Review 4 (Mar. 1918): 56-58, and Yvor Winters, "Mina Loy," Dial 80 (June 1926): 496-99. Kenneth Rexroth reclaimed Loy for the modernist canon in "Les Lauriers Sont Coupés: Mina Loy," Circle 1, no. 4 (1944): 69-72. Another significant effort at recovery was Kenneth Fields, "The Poetry of Mina Loy," Southern Review, 3 (July 1967): 597-607. The first book on Loy's life and poetry was Virginia M. Kouidis, Mina Loy: American Modernist Poet (1980). Another biography is by Carolyn Burke, Becoming Modern: The Life of Mina Loy (1996). See also Maeera Schreiber and Keith Tuma, Mina Loy: Woman and Poet (1998). An obituary is in the Aspen Times, 29 Sept. 1966.

Texas Instruments 486 Microprocessor
In 1989, the 32-bit 486 heralded the fourth generation of microprocessors with two radical innovations: the integration of the floating-point unit on the same chip as the processing circuitry and the addition of an internal 8-Kbyte memory cache. With 1.2 million transistors on an 81-square millimeter die assembled with the available 1.0-micron complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, this microprocessor took the world's PC markets by storm. This central processing unit (CPU) initially had a clock speed of 25 MHz running on 5 volts with a maximum power dissipation of 5 watts. There are many models of the 486 processor including those featuring clock doubling and tripling, and embedded and low-power versions, making the family larger than the previous 386 family.
View a second image of a Texas Instruments 486 microprocessor.
Texas Instruments (TI) released a 486 microprocessor clone in 1992. As with other licensed look-alikes, the TI 486 chip is virtually identical to Intel's original design with regard to instruction sets and performance. Although largely obsolete in the personal computer market, TI486s are featured as on-board processors for modern electronic equipment such as data acquisition processors, and are still employed in embedded applications with improved cache memories, clock speeds, and lower power requirements.
In the 1980s, anyone attempting math-intensive applications such as graphics, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), or statistical modeling really appreciated the value of a math co-processor in accelerating performance. The 80486 microprocessor incorporates all the circuitry and logic of the 387 co-processor coupled with the 386 processor core on a single silicon wafer. Operating at the same clock speed as the 386-387 chip pair, the internal coprocessor of the 486 delivers about twice the performance because of increased efficiency of exchanging information in close proximity, and because of the inclusion of pipelining architecture. In other words, a 20-MHz 486 delivered about the same instruction throughput as a 40-MHz 386 chip.

I envy you girls who can sit there long enough to wait for polish to dry. There is always something else to do in the Candy house hold – tell a cat off (tap the nose), scribble some notes down (shopping lists) cook a cup of tea* (pointing at the kettle, I mean)…my point is I ALWAYS smudge my nails. Always.
*Cannon and Ball joke, I know you don't cook tea
A seldom get my nails done because from the 10 manicures I've had in my lifetime that majority were shiteous – dry, dying cuticles for weeks to come, , from the second I stand up, I can wave bye bye to the smooth finish.
Anyway – seemed to be the answer!
These strips are like thin stickers that go on your nail:
There are all kinds of patterns – this is my choice, a leopard gold print:
Here is the guide on how to use:
1. Clean and buff nail
2. Push back the cuticles
3. Apply your sticker (pick one that fits) and press down
4. Trim to fit
5. Fold over the left over over the nail
6. Drape your hands in ribbon
Here is my attempt anyway:
I had a problem with puckering on the sides – with a bit more care I could probably avoid this but I panicked when I told the sticker off the backing like when you've applied the paste a piece of wallpaper and start panicking about where to stick it.
Yeah, its OTT but I guess thats the point? Gives you that sort of metallic solid nail effect. Beyonce would wear this and win. Hannah Waterman would wear this and fail.
I kinda like it. I think I'll use a different design next time and use it for tutorials and also Christmas looks.
What do you think?

The plan was to meet up with Andreas and go for motorcycle ride down the 1 to Santa Cruz. Incidentally, when I got to Andreas' his bike was O.C. and he wasn't going anywhere.
The situation left me in bit of a dilemma. What to do now? ...I decided to continue as planned, venturing out on my own, but rather head northward, over the bridge, and up hwy 1.
It was my first time riding the 1 on a motorbike, and it was awesome. Awesome. ...until my chain broke and I had to leave the bike behind in no-man's-land Marin.
I hiked through the wilderness in the direction that I believed would lead me to civilization... Maybe, that's one of the natives...?
Ahoy! Is that the sea I spy?
Yes indeed, the sea my friends
Wait! I know this place, it's Muir Beach...
It was here that I met a peace-loving man that went by the name of Father Yod. He and his followers lived in a hippy commune on wheels, or as we laymen would call it - a school bus . He offered to give me a ride to the Sausalito Ferry as he felt that I was "a kindred spirit" and "most likely his brother in a passed life." I graciously accepted Father Yod's offer and rode with him and his congregation in the painted school bus back to Sausalito.
I later relayed this tale to a friend who told me an unsettling bit of information - Father Yod had died 30 years ago in a hang-gliding accident and that I had most likely encountered the ghost of the Source Family.
Poltergeist or not, I had things to do, places to be. Places like Monica's for her and Kyle's going away BBQ in Oakland (before they set off for Philly). After the Sausalito ferry, I hopped on BART and rolled up on Monica and her room mates posing for a "West Oakland Gardeners Association" photo. (I poached this shot from over the fence as the other photographer was about to snap off her shot).
Oakland farm cat
Kyle examined the box of artwork that was about to be baggage-checked for his and Monica's eastward flight.
Pistols were fired
and arrows lobbed, as they are at most West Oakland gatherings.
A firing-line to be reckoned with.
In target practice there's no way around arrow retrieval...
Ole' Dead Eye Ranson
When all was said and done, we'd kill the hell out of Lou Reed ...alas, the price of fame - your likeness being used in a make-shift shooting range in West Oakland. Honestly, I could think of a lot better celebrity cardboard cut-outs that would make for excellent target shooting. ...Take Dr. Phil, for example, his likeness would be awesome to pepper with bb's!
Anyway, the next night at N+P we hosted a book signing/musical performance by Zak Sally and Nate Denver.
Zak Sally used to play in LOW
Really soulful stuff. Listen below:
a video clip of Zak (my batteries died a minute into the song)
Nate Denver was up next...
He was great.
Dude played "She watch Channel Zero" by Public Enemy on an acoustic guitar! Amazing.
Video of ...I think, a Johnny Cash cover.
It was a busy week, two days later we hosted the opening of Tara Jane ONeil and Vanessa Renwick's show Cackle, Cackle, Rackle
Breezy and Orion
TJO chatting it up with a fellow at the opening
Vanessa Renwick with her daughter Montana
Tara Jane Oneil
TJO and Stefan
In addition to the art on the walls, Vanessa also projected her film "Trojan."
TJO jammed out a set as well...
Check the footage of TJO. This song's really good, (but the visuals are'nt so hot). Yes!
I will end my transmission here earth dogs, but first I'd like to advise you of the next groovy happening @ N+P :: Saturday, August 9th :: Sam McPheeters (born against, wrangler brutes) spoken word and music by Tara Tavi (amps for christ)! Be there suckas!

Willeglington needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 559 designs submitted by 103 freelance designers.
Adam's Egg
We are a brand new boutique research consultancy by the name of Adam's Egg.
We need you to help us build our identity in the most creative and visually rich way.
What do we do?
Our job is to investigate and understand people, trends and culture. We birth ideas that help brands do and say meaningful and exciting things.
We do this by uncovering how people and cultures (around the world) feel about a given topic and then thinking about what it means for our client and their brands.
So for example, if a booze company wants to know about what's going on with whisky in Asia, we might go out drinking with salarymen in Japan to see what they get up to, we might hire anthropologists to tell us about the cultural meanings of drinking, we might speak to bartenders about the latest cocktails - our basic approach is deliberately diverse.
We envision our agency as a kind of 'Curiosity Shop' – full of all kinds of information, ideas and inspiration.
Our Curiosity Shop has an international feel, is globally eclectic, collective, playful, crafted, intelligent, surprising, individual, inviting, inspiring and adventure-filled.
A broad range of clients from cutting-edge advertising agencies to huge global companies.
We work with some of the world's top brands - clients such as Absolut, Adidas, Apple, Axe, Dove, Gatorade, Heineken, SONY.
So that means stylish and professional are givens. We need to feel worthy and equal partners in this context - but as a young company, more dynamic, a little more creative and a touch cooler.
Our clients need to get that our agency is unique, independently minded and will deliver fresh, exciting thinking for their brand - and there can be lots of ways to do this...
We've uploaded some logos, styles and competitive context as reference to what we think could work...
Initially - a logo - then likely our website.
The logo will need to live in many different contexts (web, business cards, tweets/email footers, powerpoint presentations) so can't be too imposing/complex.
We are open and interested in looking at two options -
I) Stand alone icon plus the name
II) Name with a tagline (placeholder 'The Curiosity Shop')
We currently are very OPEN on how this will turn out - we're expecting some great ideas and don't want to limit things.
However, some initial ideas we had as start points & thought sparkers...
The name itself could be the anchor, obviously
The whole 'Curiosity Shop' idea - so CREATIVITY and CURIOSITY are big themes for us...
We like magic, exploration, creation, wisdom.
The work we do is a blend of art and science.
The Garden of Eden may be interesting
Related to the above, a main role of ours is 'Growing Ideas'
Unrelated but true... ultimately, we're brains for hire
The challenge will be to make sure that Adam's Egg does not feel stuck in an 'olde worlde' time warp. We are about fresh new ideas. We're not averse to retro-cool Victoriana, but at the end of the day, it's got to be a Modern Curiosity Shop.
So we can't be too staid, overly quaint or eccentric. We can't go too far off the deep end in terms of playfulness – we ultimately need to be taken seriously.

I think it's pretty obvious that I think researching your ancestor's religion is pretty important. Face it, in an era when there were no civil registrations, there were church records.
But sometimes it may not be obvious what religion your ancestor was. I was thinking today about one of my great grandmother's lines. In the span of about 140 years each generation changed religions at least once. So they started off in the early 1800's as Presbyterian. Then about 1840 they were Baptist. And then the next generation were members of the Salvation Army. Then that generation went to the Catholic church. Now they stayed with the Catholic Church for the next generation and then we have 1 that converted to the Mormon church.
Some of the changes in religion had to do with who the person married. Sometimes they adopted and converted to their spouse's religion. And in some cases they converted to a new religion for personal reasons.
But it brings up a good point. Don't assume your ancestor was a certain religion because everyone in the family was that religion or that you are a member of that specific religion. Church records may be very diverse for your family. They may have attended a church that was convenient to where they lived. They may have converted for marriage. They may have even participated in activities for the dominant religion in their area. You may see ancestors attend a lot of different churches or even be baptised, excommunicated and baptised back into the same faith.
So be persistent and follow your ancestor's lives through church records. Check out records for the entire lifespan of your ancestor. Do they seem to drop off in the records at some point? Start looking at other possibilities including joining or attending a different church.

Founded in April 2002, Asian / Pacific Islander / American History Project of Greater Rochester (APA-HiP) is a not-for-profit corporation committed to collecting, documenting and preserving the history of Asian / Pacific Islander / Americans (APA) in Greater Rochester, New York. APAA incorporated with our 501(c)3 not-for-profit status in September 2003, and will be celebrating our 15th anniversary this year in 2018.
Mission: APAA is committed to a stronger Greater Rochester Area community where diverse Asian/Pacific Islander American (APA) peoples are valued, and their heritages and histories are preserved and celebrated.
While we primarily document, preserve and promote written, oral and visual histories, we also promote communication and relationships between various Asian and Pacific Islander ethnic groups and help foster a sense of pride in belonging to the Greater Rochester community. Hence, in 2008, we broadened our name to Asian Pacific American Association of Greater Rochester (APAA). Toward these goals, we initiated projects such as the:
- oral history project (audio and videotaping personal historical accounts)
- documentary heritage project (surveying and cataloging our community's historical documents), and
- establishing special-themes events to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage month in May, and other Asian festivals.
We have produced an annual film series, a documentary of our own, various community photography projects, lectures, presentations, and video and photo exhibits. We have collaborated and partnered with many educational and cultural organizations and institutions in the Greater Rochester community.

Texas Appeals Court Vacates Order Commanding Google To Hunt Down Third Party Content And Destroy It
from the violating-both-due-process-and-the-realm-of-possibility dept
Back in April, a Texas district court judge (well, a "visiting judge") ordered Google to do the following:
The gag order, signed by visiting San Antonio Judge Richard Price in February 2013, forces Google and other search engines to wipe out all record of the allegations from the Internet. It also compels the search engine to find third parties who posted the information to get it back and destroy it.This was to be done on behalf of Calvin C. Jackson, an attorney who was accused of forging signatures on court records. It's unknown whether the judge actually read what he was signing or if he did, whether he recognized how completely ridiculous the request was. Google may index the web and hold a commanding lead in the search engine market, but it certainly doesn't have the ability to demand third parties turn over and/or destroy content.
That the whole thing took place under seal and out of the public eye made it even more ridiculous. The court order demanding the impossible was also placed under seal, presumably to protect Jackson from being further linked to the allegations he was trying to bury. We can all see how well that worked out.
Now, a Texas appeals court has released Google from having to do things it's not capable of. The court decision isn't predicated on Google's inability to carry out Jackson's demands. Instead, it hinges on the fact that Google should never have been part of the whole debacle.
The order identified Google as an entity to whom the order must be sent. The order further required all identified recipients to expunge or destroy all records relating to the action other than certain, specifically identified records….As Eugene Volokh notes, this seems obvious enough. But it wasn't obvious to the lower court which ordered Google to go door-to-door around the internet with a paper shredder in tow.
Constitutional due process requires a party to be served with process and to receive notice of an action to which it is an interested party. A judgment rendered in violation of due process is void…
It is clear from the record that Google was never named as a party to the suit, was never served with process, never waived or accepted process, and never made an appearance in the suit before the expunction order was entered. Nothing in the record establishes that Google stands in privity to the commission or to Jackson. Accordingly, we hold that Google was not a party to the suit and that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to enter orders against Google.
Beyond the normal First Amendment ramifications, there's also the fact that Jackson was effectively asking the court (and Google by extension) to destroy public records. The allegations against Jackson weren't simply blog posts or newspaper articles. These allegations were part of a lawsuit brought against the attorney (the same lawsuit that didn't include Google). Public records can be expunged, but that's limited to what the court itself directly controls. Anything already posted to the internet is out of its reach. Calvin Jackson's quest for an allegation-free existence is futile, and every additional legal effort seems to place it just that much further out of reach.

WWE 2K19 MyCareer Mode Ep 22 -My Demons Return and a NEW Champion?!
Why THE FACULTY Has so Much in Common With Body Snatchers and Pink Floyd
The Faculty took the idea of the invasion and simply localized it. Instead of a planet -- everyone is in danger, no discrimination, nothing to signify what these aliens want or are looking for -- the alien(s) instead focused their effect on just those few teachers. Now there's an interesting high concept.
The Top 10 Streaming Scary Movies of Today (According to Netflix)
Given that Netflix really is the master of their own data, how many times a viewer streams The Ridiculous 6, or what films don't get watched all the way straight through, or how many times someone watches an episode of Bill Nye Saves the World, it was easy for them to come up with the list based on just one percentage: 70 percent.
'It Follows': Not Just a Cautionary Tale About Casual Sex
And in all its basic-ness, you'd be shocked to realize that it's not just a linear-type film with one main idea. There are actually a ton of deep meanings behind all of the frames, the shots, the sequences, the scenes. With obviously the underlying principle, the whole point of it: meaningless sex is bad!
3 Terrifying Short Films About the Forests That Frighten Us
And there was already a feature film released, based on it. However, lackluster it was. Although click here and you'll get an inside look of just how actually creepy the real forest is! Sometimes real is better than imaginary or anything Hollywood can cook up for you.

Jessica Ridgeway's killer in video confession: I lied to her
(CNN) — In a soft voice, teenager Austin Sigg confessed in gruesome detail how he snatched a 10-year-old girl from his Colorado neighborhood and dismembered her.
But what Sigg could not explain to police detectives is why.
"It was a random place, a random time. Random everything," Sigg told officers in interrogation video released this week.
"I was just driving and just kind of looking. And I saw her … found the place to park. And I parked, and I waited. And she walked by, and I grabbed her."
Sigg is going to have a lot of time to think about it. He was sentenced to life in prison last week. The tapes released this week by the Jefferson County District Attorney give a chilling look into Sigg's thoughts.
Sigg was 17 when he grabbed Jessica Ridgeway off the street in October 2012.
I told her everything would be OK
Sigg told police during the interrogation that he got her into his car. He tied her hands and legs together and drove around for 20 minutes as she frantically screamed and asked him questions.
"I would lie to her," Sigg said. "I would tell her everything was going to be OK. I would just lie to her."
He took the bespectacled, blonde girl back to his house. What happened there may have been too graphic.
Parts of the interrogation tape was redacted by authorities.
Eligible for parole
Sigg will be eligible for parole after 40 years for the murder. But a judge sentenced him to close to 100 additional years for the other charges against him. Along with Ridgeway's murder, Sigg also confessed to the attack and attempted kidnapping on a jogger that occurred earlier in the year. Using all those charges against Sigg, the judge said he expects Sigg to be confined to a cell for the rest of his natural life.
Turned in by his mother
Jessica Ridgeway was missing for five days and authorities were searching everywhere in October 2012. The break in the case came after Sigg told his mother what he had done. His mother, police said, called 911 and handed the phone to her son.
During the trial, Ridgeway's family members were in court wearing the little girl's favorite color, purple.
"This monster took away from me the light of my life," said Christine Ridgeway, Jessica's grandmother. "It shattered the core of my family."

However, most people in the US, especially the younger generations, have very little awareness for this issue and lack the belief that they can actually have an impact. Through our web campaign, we will make it possible to send and track mini-donations that will $ for $ be used to purchase and deploy drug treatments on the ground and thereby save lives.
Our design need is the headframe for a website/online application. We have produced a rudimentary pdf mockup that you can download here:

A neologism from 'laptop computer' and 'electronica', the term gained a certain degree of currency in the 1990s and is of significance due to the use of highly powerful computation being made available to musicians in highly portable form, and therefore in live performance. Many sophisticated forms of sound production, manipulation and organisation (which had hitherto only been available in studios or academic institutions) became available to use in live performance, largely by younger musicians influenced by and interested in developing experimental popular music forms. Nowadays, the term seems to be less common, perhaps because it is problematic in not defining musical contents or aesthetic nuance.
