Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries bring blood and oxygen to the heart. If the blood flow is blocked, the heart is starved of oxygen and heart cells die.
The medical term for this is myocardial infarction.
A substance called plaque can build up in the walls of your coronary arteries. This plaque is made up of cholesterol and other cells.
A heart attack may occur when:
- A disruption in the plaque occurs. This triggers blood platelets and other substances to form a blood clot at the site that blocks most or all of the oxygen-carrying blood from flowing to a part of the heart muscle. This is the most common cause of heart attack.
The cause of heart attack is not always known, but there are well known risk factors.
Heart attack may occur:
- When you are resting or asleep
- After a sudden increase in physical activity
- When you are active outside in cold weather
- After sudden, severe emotional or physical stress, including an illness
Many risk factors may lead to the development of plaque buildup and a heart attack.
A heart attack is a medical emergency. If you have symptoms of a heart attack, call 911 or your local emergency number right away.
- DO NOT try to drive yourself to the hospital.
- DO NOT WAIT. You are at greatest risk for sudden death in the early hours of a heart attack.
Chest pain is the most common symptom of a heart attack.
- You may feel the pain in only one part of your body OR
- Pain may move from your chest to your arms, shoulder, neck, teeth, jaw, belly area, or back
The pain can be severe or mild. It can feel like:
- A tight band around the chest
- Bad indigestion
- Something heavy sitting on your chest
- Squeezing or heavy pressure
The pain most often lasts longer than 20 minutes. Rest and a medicine to relax the blood vessels (called nitroglycerin) may not completely relieve the pain of a heart attack. Symptoms may also go away and come back.
Other symptoms of a heart attack can include:
- Anxiety
- Cough
- Fainting
- Lightheadedness, dizziness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Palpitations (feeling like your heart is beating too fast or irregularly)
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating, which may be very heavy
Some people (including older adults, people with diabetes, and women) may have little or no chest pain. Or, they may have atypical symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness. A "silent heart attack," which can also occur, is a heart attack with no symptoms.
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and listen to your chest using a stethoscope.
- Your provider may hear abnormal sounds in your lungs (called crackles), a heart murmur, or other abnormal sounds.
- You may have a fast or uneven pulse.
- Your blood pressure may be normal, high, or low.
You will have an electrocardiogram (ECG) to look for heart damage. Often, certain changes on the ECG indicate you are having a heart attack, although a heart attack can also occur without ECG changes.
A blood test can show if you have heart tissue damage. This test can confirm that you are having a heart attack. The test is often repeated over time.
Coronary angiography may be done right away or later in the course of illness.
- This test uses a special dye and x-rays to see how blood flows through your heart.
- It can help your provider decide which treatments you need next.
Other tests to look at your heart that may be done while you are in the hospital:
- Echocardiography with or with stress testing
- Exercise stress test
- Nuclear stress test
- Heart CT scan or heart MRI
- You will be hooked up to a heart monitor, so the health care team can see how regularly your heart is beating.
- You will receive oxygen.
- An intravenous line (IV) will be placed into one of your veins. Medicines and fluids pass through this IV.
- You may get nitroglycerin and morphine to help reduce chest pain.
- You may receive aspirin, unless it would not be safe for you. In that case, you will be given another medicine that prevents blood clots.
- Dangerous abnormal heartbeats (arrhythmias) may be treated with medicine or electric shocks.
Angioplasty is a procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart.
- Angioplasty is often the first choice of treatment. It should be done within 90 minutes after you get to the hospital, and usually no later than 12 hours after a heart attack.
- A stent is a small, metal mesh tube that opens up (expands) inside a coronary artery. A stent is usually placed right after or during angioplasty. It helps prevent the artery from closing up again.
You may be given drugs to break up the clot. This is called thrombolytic therapy. It is best if these drugs are given soon after the onset of symptoms, usually no later than 12 hours after it and ideally within 30 minutes of arriving at the hospital.
Some people may also have heart bypass surgery to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. This procedure is also called coronary artery bypass grafting or open heart surgery.
After several days, you will be discharged from the hospital.
You will likely need to take medicines, some for the rest of your life. Always talk to your provider before stopping or changing how you take any medicines. Stopping certain medicines can be deadly.
While under the care of your health care team, you will learn:
- How to take medicines to treat your heart problem and prevent more heart attacks
- How to eat a heart-healthy diet
- How to be active and exercise safely
- What to do when you have chest pain
- How to stop smoking
Strong emotions are common after a heart attack.
- You may feel sad
- You may feel anxious and worry about being careful about everything you do
All of these feelings are normal. They go away for most people after 2 or 3 weeks.
You may also feel tired when you leave the hospital to go home.
Most people who have had a heart attack take part in a cardiac rehabilitation program.
Support Groups
Many people benefit from taking part in support groups for people with heart disease.
Outlook (Prognosis)
After a heart attack, you have a higher chance of having another heart attack.
How well you do after a heart attack depends on several factors such as:
- The amount of damage to your heart muscle and heart valves
- Where that damage is located
- Your medical care after the heart attack
If your heart can no longer pump blood out to your body as well as it used to, you may develop heart failure. Abnormal heart rhythms can occur, and they can be life threatening.
Most people can slowly go back to normal activities after a heart attack. This includes sexual activity. Talk to your provider about how much activity is good for you.

Clinton honored Weems and four other artists—Jeff Koons, Cai Guo-Qiang, Shahzia Sikander and Kiki Smith—with the first U.S. Department of State Medals of Arts ever awarded. The medals recognized the artists' contributions to the "Art in Embassies" program, which creates art exhibitions in U.S. diplomatic buildings overseas. The EIN program celebrated its 50-year anniversary this year. "Art is…a tool of diplomacy," Clinton said during her remarks at the ceremony.

Let me share with you a hidden treasure that took me a while to find! For a long time, even though I was using an expensive editing program, I was not getting satisfying results when upscaling SD video (i.e. VHS tapes) to HD. I sure am now!
Note: If you are a competitor of ours, please, stop reading here. ;)
It was thanks to Andrew Swan, a respected professional blogger writing in great detail about this subject, that I now proudly offer affordable, high quality HD up-scaling.
If you're curious about the cost of our upscale service, please follow the link to our online estimator tool: cost for transferring and upscalling 10 tapes of 1 hour each. You may adjust the current numbers according to what you actually have in your video collection.
Or, if you want to try your hand at "bumping it up" yourself, you can follow Andrew's instructions, below.
A few things to keep in mind, before you start. It takes quite the investment in time and electricity! Expect a 1 hour tape to take 3 hours worth of processing time -- and that's on a speedy computer. My office gets warmer, even with my water-cooled computer, as it processes away on these files. Ah, but the results are so well worth it.
Andrew Swan has been blogging since 2008 about video processing. In his 45 minute YouTube video here, he explains how to instal 32-bit and 64-bit AVISynth+, QTGMC, and FFMPEG side-by-side; use AviSynth+ and all the required filters to properly de-interlace and upscale your SD video files to HD 720, or 1080. He'll walk you through all the steps of downloading, installing, and processing an SD video file.
Before starting, it's a good idea to prep your files. Clean up the start and end times of your initial capture (file) by editing out the "snowy" parts. Bring the glaring whites and deep blacks into a more pleasing viewing range. Pay attention to the color intensity in your highlights and bring those down a bit in order to bring about a more natural looking result.
Now that he files are cleaned up a bit, it's time to upscale.
If you have many files to upscale you may be interested in using a Python script to help you automate the process.
I programmed a Python script that helps you batch-process one file after the other, without having to call the script again for each file. You can find (the script) that I shared on Andrew's Blog, or you can directly downloaded the script from our FilmFix website by clicking here. Just edit the lines of code to reflect your particular file locations, and name the files numerically. (Sorry - that's all the support I can give on this subject, here. For consulting, naturally, I need to charge my hourly rate.)
There is an upscale method called "super-resolution". Super-resolution up-scalling utilizes a different approach and yields a different result. You would end up with a non-TV standard size video that will have to be downsized to fit either HD 720 or 1080. And, this method takes even longer to process - not an appealing option.
Video Upscale samples coming soon...

But the society has also warned that a worrying lack of information about the situation in Eastern Europe must be urgently addressed.
Published in the Annals of Oncology this week, the survey provides the first detailed information on the current number of medical oncologists in 12 European Union countries, mostly in Western Europe, and their predicted availability by 2020.
Around the world countries are struggling to ensure their medical oncology systems can deal with the increase in cancer cases, says ESMO Press Officer Solange Peters, a lung cancer expert from the university of Lausanne, Switzerland. Until now, nobody could say what the situation was in Europe.
The survey, led by Evandro de Azambuja from Jules Bordet Institute, Brussels, shows that Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden and the UK will probably have enough medical oncologists over the next eight years since data collection to meet the needs of an increasing cancer patient population.
The study provides the current ratio of cancer cases to medical oncologists for each country, and shows the annual increase in the total number of medical oncologists.
However, despite repeated attempts, researchers were not able to gather adequate information from the 15 other EU Member States, making it impossible to paint a full picture of the situation in Europe.
"ESMO is willing to help countries work together to make this kind of data available for all of Europe," Peters says. "We need a complete picture and the current one is insufficient to draw firm conclusions."
"It is vital that we collect this data and we continuously monitor it, to optimise the medical oncology system in every European country," says the ESMO spokesperson.
"In the long term, we hope that it might be possible to build a Europe-wide system that will ensure we have a full picture of the needs across Europe, also beyond 2020, to guarantee optimal care to cancer patients" she says.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock which is formed at the bottom of the ocean. It consists wholly or mainly of calcium carbonate. In its pure state it is white but it may be coloured by other materials. This calcite is sourced primarily from the shells and bones of marine organisms. The sediment that builds up preserves these organisms into fossils and over millions of years heat and pressure cause a chemical reaction which turns this sediment into limestone.
Limestone flooring is porous and prone to scratching, staining and fracturing. Limestone also needs to be allowed to breath instead of being covered by synthetic sealers or urethane. Our experienced technicians offer the best solutions to protect your limestone by using highly penetrating impregnating sealers.
The primary cause for polished stone floors becoming dull is foot traffic. Prolonged foot traffic grinds and packs in dust, sand, and grit. Although the scratching that occurs is very fine, it eventually covers the majority of the surface and over time dulls the finish to the point where it loses its reflective properties. To make your stone surfaces smooth and reflective, we employ the use of high speed polishers.
Many older buildings have durable limestone flooring, the chalky porous type with a smooth granular surface typical of most French and Spanish limestone. This variety does stain easier than marble, varies in hardness and does become etched by acids including soft drink, as well as absorbs oils and other liquids. Common colours are black, grey, white, yellow and brown. Limestone should be sealed with a penetrating sealer to prevent staining and reduce soiling and should only be cleaned with neutral pH detergents. Because it is soft, limestone should never be cleaned at pressures above 800 PSI and then only if the grout is in good condition.
Professional regular maintenance will be required to maintain the honed or polished appearance of limestone. Limestone looks best with a honed or low/medium sheen appearance however many people also insist on a high shine finish. Some low calcite limestone can be extremely difficult to polish and therefore vitrification would be required, vitrification however can give the stone an unnatural plastic appearance when repeated too often.
- Pros
- Durable
- Easy to clean
- Less expensive than marble and granite
- It is moisture-resistant
- Cons
- Feels cold and hard under-foot
- It requires sealing
- It reacts to acid

Construction employers added 6,000 workers to payrolls in May as the industry's unemployment rate dropped to 8.6%, its lowest May level in six years, according to analysis of government data by the Associated General Contractors of America. But association officials cautioned that gains remain spotty and thousands of highway construction jobs are at risk because of a pending halt in federal transportation funding later this summer.
"Even with five straight months of construction employment gains, the industry remains vulnerable to sudden shifts in demand," said Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist. "Unless lawmakers act in the next few weeks to head off an expected disruption in highway funding, the sudden loss of billions of dollars worth of demand would cost many construction workers, as well as workers from other segments of the economy, their jobs."
Construction employment totaled 6,004,000 in May, the highest total since June 2009 and an increase of 188,000 or 3.2% from a year earlier, Simonson noted. Residential construction employers added 3,300 jobs in May and 105,600 (4.9%) over 12 months. Nonresidential construction firms added 2,700 employees since April and 82,000 (2.2%) since May 2013.
The unemployment rate for workers actively looking for jobs and last employed in construction declined from 10.8% a year earlier to 8.6% in May—the lowest May rate since 2008. Simonson noted that the unemployment rate for construction workers had fallen by more than half since May 2010, when it reached 20.1 percent. During that time, the number of unemployed workers who last worked in construction declined by over one million, but industry employment increased by only 480,000.
Association officials urged Congress and the Obama administration to work together to find a way to keep the federal Highway Trust Fund from running short of money, as forecast, in August. Disrupting payments from the fund would force many states to halt billions of dollars worth of highway projects during the middle of the busy construction season.
"Forcing a sudden halt to thousands of highway projects across the country will undermine much of the growth the construction industry has recently experienced," said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association's chief executive officer. "Such a shutdown would cost thousands of construction jobs and force commuters and shippers in many parts of the country to pay for the lost construction season through pothole damages and shipping delays."
Sandherr added that over 8,000 construction employees have already contacted Congressional delegations from 48 states to urge their support for a fix to the Highway Trust Fund as part of the Hardhats for Highways program. That program, which is being organized by the Transportation Construction Coalition, will continue next week when thousands of construction contractors will fly to Washington D.C. to meet with members of Congress to press the case for new federal highway funding.

Not everyone listens to music to admire the voice and the vocal range of the leading singer. For many listeners, the most important thing is the music or beat. Some are willing to ignore the singer's range and the lyrics for the sake of the music. However the most successful bands/singers are usually the ones who manage to combine quality music, meaningful lyrics and a great vocal range.
Vocal Range is basically "the measure of the breadth of pitches that a human voice can" vocalize (Wikipedia definition). Basically, it is how low and how high a note a voice can produce while singing. Sometimes it is about "talent" and sometimes can be an obligation or a choice, as singers of different genres may use aids for singing (microphones, talk-boxes and such) and they may choose to sing in different ranges.
Vocal ranges are used to determine voice types. For women, the main three types are soprano, mezzo-soprano, and contralto. For men, there are four types: countertenor, tenor, baritone, and bass.
Since letters and numbers are used for classifying vocal ranges according to voice type, I should list those notations and what they represent before bragging about some of rock's diverse vocals.
For men: it is C3- C5 for tenor, F2- F4 for baritone and for bass, it is E2- E4. For Women: it is C4- C6 for Soprano, A3 — A5 for Mezzo-soprano and F3 – F5 for Contralto.
Some singers can go beyond these limits.
The Rock Vocalists
Freddie Mercury was the singer/songwriter/piano player of the highly popular and critically acclaimed rock band Queen from the time the band was formed in 1971 until his death in 1991. Freddie's speaking voice was in the baritone range but he preferred singing in the tenor range. His range included F2 — E6, to F6 and F5. Freddie's vocals were over a four-octave range. |
Roger Meddows- Taylor is the Queen drummer and he provided back-up vocals as well. He frequently contributed to the band's songwriting process and he even sang lead vocals for the songs he created himself. While Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant was great at singing high notes (for instance E4), he couldn't sing very low. Both Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor could sing as high as Plant but they could also go much lower (A1 for Roger Taylor and E1 for Freddie Mercury. Even though Freddie has a higher range, he has been inspired and influenced by Plant's singing style. | |
Elvis Presley is both a tenor and a baritone. In one music critic's words, Elvis is "a high baritone, calculating his range as two octaves and a third, from the baritone low G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D-flat." | |
Linda Ronstadt is an American rock singer born in 1946. She is mostly famous for singing cover songs and her high vocal range. Her voice can go from contralto and soprano. And just like Freddie Mercury, she is known to use her range in one song. | |
Matthew Bellamy is the singer/songwriter/piano and guitar player of the alternative/progressive rock band Muse. He has been known to hit A2, A4 and A5. | |
Axl Rose is the singer of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses, founded in 1985. The band lost its original line-up in 1996 (lead guitarist Slash and several other members left) but Axl continues to front the band. Axl can sing in the tenor range, bass and baritone. Moreover he can also sing a high soprano. |

ASU will continue work to help protect nation's information infrastructure
Arizona State University's designation as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education has been renewed by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.
The redesignation for education programs in information assurance, which extends through 2017, enables the university to continue to support students through the National Science Foundation's Scholarship for Service program and the Department of Defense Information Assurance Scholarship program.
The competitive scholarships go to students in computer science and computer systems engineering programs with an information assurance concentration – a focus on areas of study that address a growing need for federal information assurance professionals to protect the government's critical information infrastructure.
The university also holds a designation as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research, which was granted in 2009 and extends through 2014.
A number of the scholarships and grants for education and research have been awarded due to the work done through the Information Assurance Center in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering, one of ASU's Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering.
The Information Assurance Center, directed by engineering professor Stephen Yau, concentrates on research addressing the challenges of ensuring the security and quality of information being stored, processed and transmitted by information systems and networks.
Twenty-seven ASU faculty members are now participating in the center's work. Twenty are from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering – including its School of Electrical, Computing and Energy Engineering – with others from the W. P. Carey School of Business and the College of Technology and Innovation at ASU Polytechnic campus.
The center also is involved in technology transfer and continuing education for industry. It assists with information assurance education activities for other schools, especially those serving underrepresented minority groups.
For more information on research and educational activities of the center, visit http://ia.asu.edu/.

Professional Speaker on Social Media, Tourism & Travel
Do you need a lively, fun person who can make sense of tech and social media, dive deep into topics with expert audiences, use plenty of examples for your specific industry, AND keep everyone laughing and interested in the process?
If so, you've found the right speaker to hire; I'd love to present at your next event.
Let's Work Together
In addition to my social media educational work at Tourism Currents, I speak and hold workshops, training sessions and webinars about the social web to a variety of audiences including journalists, tourism and economic development experts, public relations and marketing professionals, and Chambers of Commerce.
Note: I am fully vaccinated and available for in-person events.
As a certified Navy Master Training Specialist, I've had many years of "podium time" covering topics from the most interesting to the, well, pretty doggone dull (but I make them interesting.)
There is a reason that I'm often scheduled as the luncheon or post-lunch speaker . . . I keep audiences awake and engaged!
When presenting, I prefer to go live to the web from my laptop to demonstrate tech and social media concepts, but I can also whip up the traditional slide deck and even (gasp!) speak quite comfortably without any audio/visual assistance at all.
Let's work together to plan the best possible presentation for your audience.
Speaker Rates
There's a lot of secrecy about speaker rates, and it drives me crazy. You should be able to figure out right away whether I fit your event budget or not.
- My current rate for a 1 – 1.5 hour keynote is US$3500 plus expenses.
- NOTE: I usually include a smaller one-hour conference breakout presentation in that fee, at no extra charge. If I am going to spend time at your event, I might as well stay on my feet and keep talking!
- For a small workshop (1 – 1.5 hours) and nothing else, I charge US$800-$1100 plus expenses.
- For a half-day workshop (all morning or all afternoon) I charge US$1500-$3000 plus expenses.
- For a full-day workshop (roughly 9-5) I charge US$3000-$5000/day plus expenses.
When my schedule permits, I like to hang around at conferences, perhaps attend a few other panels and be available in the hallways and at evening socials to answer questions that many are uncomfortable asking during my sessions. If I request accommodations or a conference badge to do so, I'm not trying to "milk the system, " I'm trying to add maximum value to your event.
I'm willing to negotiate on pricing if you are a nonprofit, educational or governmental organization, or are in my local Austin, Texas metro area.

- Hosting Wired Press Trips/Fam Tours — Bloggers are a new kind of online publisher, and they can connect you with new audiences. A fam tour is still a great way to share your destination with them, but wired writers have some unusual needs and perspectives. Learning their digital ways can result in tons of instant coverage for your destination.
- Finding Your Social Media Champions — Oh, if only there were some people out there online (like bloggers or influencers) to help us spread the word…. Well, they are out there (they may be locals living right under your nose in your town) and they want to help. Find them, approach them in the right way and give them the tools they need. I'll show you how.

Where I'm Going Next

- Instructor at the TTA Travel & Tourism College in College Station, Texas.
- Attending Texas Downtown Association Regional Roundtable in Navasota, Texas.
- Attending Texas Association of CVBs annual conference in Austin, Texas.
- From attendee survey feedback after my TACVB (Texas Association of CVBs) Annual Conference 2023 presentation on social media content ideas for heritage and cultural tourism:
"She did an excellent job, would love to see her again." "Loved it! Especially appreciated that she had her slide deck ready to share." "She was an awesome speaker; so energetic and very engaging. LOVE THIS ONE."
- From Jaye Stimson O'Donnell, Assistant Economic Development Director for the City of Mesa, AZ, after my 2022 National Main Street conference presentation in Richmond, Virginia, on social media for economic development:
"Your presentation was GREAT. Nailed it. I loved the content, the honesty, the examples, and the delivery. You are entertaining and very funny."
- From breakout sessions at 2022 NTA (National Tour Association) Contact in Anchorage, Alaska – speaker feedback survey –
"(Question) What did you like most about this seminar/topic/presentation?
Everything! She is amazingly dynamic!! She was fun and easy to listen to, but gave us practical insight. So interesting to listen to. Examples provided. She had lots of energy. Lots of ideas. Sheila's energy in her presentation keeps your attention. She presents the topic in an understandable manner. Sheila is frank and practical! I like her no nonsense approach. Sheila was very engaging and a great speaker, knows what she is talking about
(Question) How would you improve this seminar?
Bring her back!!"
- From Liz Strauss, online culture strategist, speaker and founder of the SOBCon and Genius Shared business conferences
"Sheila Scarborough lights up a room with information and personality. Can't wait to be there when I know she'll be speaking. Every time she delivers on her promise of fun, fast-paced, actionable content. I walk away inspired to start doing great things with my business."
- From Patrick Jones, Executive Director & CEO, International Bridge, Tunnel & Turnpike Association (IBTTA)
"Sheila Scarborough rocks! Great story teller. Relevant. Knows and cares about her audience."
- From Julie Tereshchuk, writer, Editor-in-Chief at Texas Lifestyle Magazine and Board of Directors member, Metropolitan Breakfast Club ("Austin's premier speakers' club since 1984")
"In person, Sheila's dynamism and sense of humor combine with her subject matter knowledge to make for a compelling speaker with a level of energy seen only amongst the best speakers and presenters.
In webinars, I've sat through many presentations feeling little empathy and connection with the speaker, particularly when they were just a disembodied voice on the end of a phone link. I had the opposite experience with Sheila Scarborough, who hit the perfect note in an online environment which demands a more nuanced set of skills than those of an in-person presentation."
- From students at a recent TTA (Texas Travel Alliance) Travel & Tourism College – my recent sessions include DMO blogging and building a digital marketing content calendar –
"Great presentation. Learned a lot about blogging which we currently do not do."
"Lots of useful information. I always appreciate her thoughtful road maps."
"She's always a great speaker!! Great nuggets of info :)""Awesome personality!"
"Great presentation for people that have not begun a social media/editorial calendar."
"Great tips. Now I just need to make myself do this. I certainly have all the tools, thanks to Sheila. Wonderful session." - From Mary Jo Manzanares, Director of the TBEX travel blogging conference:
"It's people like you who help us up our game in the education department."
- A tweet from from Kristi Carmon Huskey, Marketing Manager for the Huntsville-Madison County [Alabama] Convention and Visitors Bureau:
"Had a fabulous day with everyone getting our social on from the best teacher ever, @SheilaS. #SocialHSV"
- From attendee surveys after a MarketingProfs webinar about what all marketers can learn from the tourism industry:
"Even though it centered around the tourism industry and I am in the financial industry, I walked away with great ideas. Nicely done!"
"This was one of the best presentations I've seen in the past couple of years; it was very thorough, and very useful."

By Mark Speltz, with a Preface by Deborah Willis
Publisher: Getty Publications / J. Paul Getty Museum
"For this powerful and compelling book, North of Dixie: Civil Rights Photography Beyond the South,
author and historian Mark Speltz shines a light over the most iconic
photographs from the history of the civil rights movement. He carefully
selected one hundred photographs, some never-before-seen or published,
taken between 1938 and 1975 in more than twenty-five cities in the
Northeast, Midwest and West by photojournalists, artists, and activists
that include Bob Adelman, Ruth-Marion Baruch, Charles Brittin, Diana
Davies, Jack Delano, Leonard Freed, Don Hogan Charles, Gordon Parks, Art
Shay, Morgan and Marvin Smith, and Maria Varela. Together these
photographs offer a broader, more complex view of the American civil
rights movement than is usually presented by the media. "Hardcover, 160 pages, 100 b/w images.
The Swiss. Photographs by Christian Nilson

Publisher: Scheidegger + Spiess
I met Zurich based photographer, Christian Nilson, at the Landskrona FotoFestival Portfolio Reviews
and was amused by his view of Swiss life, now in a signed and numbered
Limited Edition, wrapped in cheese paper, with a signed A5 print.
"Affectionately, and without ever being patronizing, the Swedish
photographer Christian Nilson captures a country in his pictures that
oscillates between openness and reticence, between tradition and
progress—a country that has been his beloved chosen home for many years:
Switzerland." First Edition, published by Scheidegger + Spiess: 1000 copies including 100 Limited Edition copies, 96 pages, 67 colour plates. U.S. publication by the University of Chicago Press in February 2017.

(c) Harold Feinstein
"No matter the context, with his camera or in a classroom, Harold Feinstein believed in the power of photography to reveal the human condition. All you need to do is look at the photographs in this volume to know he was constantly searching to connect with the world around him, to share the beauty he experienced in the everyday and to open the eyes and hearts of his fellow travelers – to be more appreciative of the world around them." – Sean Corcoran, Curator of prints and photography, Museum for the City of New York. "Saying Yes" sequenced by Christopher Rauschenberg, 130 pages. Blue Sky Books
"Centered around the 2011 Libyan Revolution, Libyan Sugar is a road trip through a war zone, detailed through photographs, journal entries, and written communication with family and colleagues. A record of Michael Christopher Brown's life both inside and outside Libya during that year, the book is about a young man going to war for the first time and the desire to get as close as possible to a conflict in order to discover something about war and something about himself." Casebound, 412 pages, 280 4-color plates. Twin Palms

By Paula Bronstein
Publisher: University of Texas Press
"What sets Paula Bronstein's photographs apart from many of her peers is her choice to spend most of her time with the Afghan people. Her work goes beyond war coverage to reveal the full complexity of daily life in what may be the most reported on, yet least understood country in the world. The result is an intimate photographic portrait of this war-torn country's people." With a Foreword by Kim Barker and Introduction by Christina Lamb, 228 pages, 114 color photographs.

I met photographer Simon Johansson at the Landskrona FotoFestival Portfolio Reviews and viewed this terrific series now in a handsome linen hardcover book with a tipped in photo on the cover. "The sound of the Öland Bridge expansion joints against the tires. The first years, when the bridge was new, islanders would come out in droves along the road to look at the invasion of the mainlanders. They don't anymore. Apart from that most things have kept the same, time runs slower here. I see friendship, happiness, love, a breakup and a sorrow. There is so much ugliness here. So much beauty."—Simon Johansson.

Portraits by Linda Hansen
Publisher: Fotografisk Center
Publisher: Fotografisk Center
I met Copenhagen based photographer, Linda Hansen, this past summer at the Landskrona Fotofestival Portfolio Reviews. Her series, Naevus Flames, breaks with established visual standards. Naves Flames, or port-wine stain, is a congenital vascular malformation, and as such it is almost invariably present at birth. "Her book brings together her photographs, representing a group of courageous people who are part of a community where 0.3% is the new norm, proud they show their unique brands forward."

(c) August Eriksson
August Eriksson is a photographer based in Sweden I met this summer at the Landskrona FotoFestival Portfolio Reviews. In The Walk, sixty-six images follow one after another, all with the same strict composition: the path, seen from the eye level of the walker, disappears into the vanishing point of the image. This is Eriksson's second book, he first published 'Sacred Waters' about the Japanese bathing culture. The Walk is "One of the 5 Best Art Books of 2016" (Svenska Dagbladet, Stockholm newspaper). 80 pages, 66 color images. English. Kerber Verlag

Fotografien von Torsten Schumann
Publisher: Peperoni Books
I met Berlin based photographer, Torsten Schumann, at the Landskrona FotoFestival Portfolio Reviews this past summer and was amused by his eye for the absurd in his series, More Cars, Clothes and Cabbages. "The ludicrous story about a black dot and a passport control that starts the book already says a lot about Torsten Schumann and his view of the world. His images even say more. Namely, that life in the so called civilized world is full of curiosities. Schumann photographs on the street, nothing special actually. And yet we see in his book the sinking of the Titanic, a woman who disappears under a magic hat, a sausage, which mutates to a ventilation tube, a designer furniture made of foam and bottom panels and a bikeway turning into a rushing river." Hardcover: 96 pages, English, German
+ + +
(c) Heather Evans Smith
"Seen Not Heard takes its title from the Old English adage "To Be Seen and Not Heard", a term often thrown about in reference to the desired behavior of children. These images are silent, but they create a voluble visual narrative on the relationship between parent and child. They explore the cycles that are passed down through generations and the tension between keeping to what is known and forging a newer, and perhaps stronger, path. As strong as the close, forever bond between mother and daughter is, there also exists a distance inherent between two different individuals." Hard cover, 80 pages, 31 color images. Edition of 500.

Design with style: consider vertical blinds
Sliding doors and French doors provide an interesting entrance while allowing more light to enter a living space. Natural light, usually viewed as a positive, can become a problem when the sun is in your eyes during dinner or breakfast. It also can affect the screens on your TV or monitors. Many times the consumer doesn't think about the damage that the sun may be doing on the furnishings or flooring as it shines into a room.
If you decide to put a traversing drapery on your sliding or French door, you may be blocking the view or natural light that you wanted. To open the drapery wide enough to take advantage of the full glass, the drapery will need to be approximately 1/3 wider than the glass it is covering. That amount of space is not always available, and you might not want that much fabric.
When I get a call to discuss this challenge, often I also hear, "I'm not interested in vertical blinds." First, I explain that verticals do provide an answer with a small stacking width, and then I tell them there are many more vane options available. Clients might be expecting a PVC vane, but woven fabrics with sewn-in weights on the bottom can add texture with a softer appearance. Also available are wood vertical slats to add a warmer feeling.
For a more formal or upscale space, Hunter Douglas offers Luminette. This product combines the advantages of a vertical blind, but has a sheer fabric on either side of the slats. You are able to tilt the inner fabric slats to the degree of privacy desired while enjoying the elegance of sheers. When they're completely opened, a minimal stacking space is used.
The most popular solution that my clients choose is the Horizon woven wood drape called Averte. With dozens of woven wood fabrics available, most room styles can be coordinated. A warm cherry- or walnut-colored slat that blends with the room's cabinetry or trim leans towards a traditional style. A nice blend of multicolored grasses and reeds can be used in a room that has a more tropical theme, with rustic options available for a more casual space. The track that this product is mounted on can be hidden under a decorative valance of either the same woven wood or an endless variety of fabric options. The track is also offered in decorative wood poles in many colors, with lots of options for finial styles.
To operate the Averte, you simply slide the leading wood edge. No cords!
Both the Averte and Luminette can be motorized so that with the touch of a remote control or iPad you are able to control the light coming through your sliding or French doors.

In recent times we have witnessed a major cultural change in the way that we communicate. Technology has brought a substantial increase in the quantity and frequency of information we have presented to us every day. In our already time-challenged working and social environment, we are only able to devote minimal time to accurately select and absorb from such a large volume of information.
In a design conscious world, it is no surprise that the highest performing sales and marketing messages are also the best presented.
We instantly gather far more information through our eyes than all our other senses combined. The reason we are so visually oriented is purely due to our human physiology. We can read five times as fast as the average person speaks. We also register and interpret complex and information rich visual images in a mere fraction of a second.
Because the visual messages we receive are only as useful as the content its creator has provided, poor quality visual communication inevitably results in under performance, or even total failure, of a marketing or advertising campaign.

Recently, after a presentation to teachers about racial bias in high school curricula, I got into a tiny spat with an instructor who objected to my using the word "holocaust" to describe the process by which nearly 99% of indigenous Americans perished from the 1400s to the present day. He also objected to the use of the term to describe the experience of Africans, forcibly kidnapped and enslaved throughout the hemisphere. . . .
Open and deliberate calls for mass murder and destruction of entire Indian peoples were common. So, for instance, during the laying of the Northern Pacific Railroad through the Montana territory, the area's chief of Indian affairs noted that if the Sioux (Lakota and Dakota) peoples continued to "molest" the laying of the track and the progress symbolized by it, a military force should be sent to punish them "even to annihilation." In other words, that widespread death of indigenous peoples was the desired (thus intended) outcome of conquest is hard to deny.
"Hate Incidents in U.S. Surge, Election Seen as Factor behind Revival of Klan" (Howard Witt @ Chicago Tribune)
Barely three weeks after Americans elected their first black president amid a wave of interracial good feeling, a spasm of noose hangings, racist graffiti, vandalism and death threats is convulsing dozens of towns across the country as white extremists lash out at the new political order.
More than 200 hate-related incidents, including cross-burnings, assassination betting pools and effigies of President-elect Barack Obama, have been reported so far, according to law-enforcement authorities and the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups. Racist Web sites are boasting that their servers are crashing under the weight of exponential increases in page views.
Even more ominously, America's most potent symbol of racial hatred—the Ku Klux Klan—has begun to reassert itself, emerging from decades of disorganization and obscurity in a spate of recent violence.
"What Would Malcolm Say?" (Changeseeker @ Why Am I Not Surprised?)
Though a cadre of disgruntled racists have reared their ugly heads in response to the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States, many in this country – Black and White – have touted the election as a symbol of change, as proof positive that, at least in very important ways, race no longer matters here. I would argue, however, that this perspective is not only badly mistaken, but will be used to further entrench and intensify institutionalized oppression against ordinary people of color in the U.S., and most particularly African-Americans. Wholesale denial of the real problems I have discussed in this post will now be masked by a ready appropriation of this one man's remarkable achievement to mean that, if a Black man can be elected President, then there are no differences between us. Thus racism will morph into yet another incarnation of neo-racism so that, even with a Black President in the White House, we can continue to face the world as a nation marked by its refusal to honor the Constitutionally-guaranteed rights of millions of its citizens.
"Multiracial families see Barack Obama as 'Other' like them" (Don Terry @ Los Angeles Times)
For the parents of multiracial children, Obama's rise has been a vindication of sorts, a presidential rebuttal to a society that has not always been kind to their offspring, labeling them "half-breeds," "tragic mulattoes," "mutts," "mixed nuts," according to Susan Graham, the white mother of two multiracial children and the founder of the California-based Project Race, a 17-year-old nationwide group that advocates for a multiracial classification on all school, employment, census and other forms.
"Our membership has grown since the election," Graham said. "We've been fighting for a long time. This is a great boost for us." . . .
Race, however, continues to be a stubborn puzzle. It wasn't until 2000 that Americans were allowed to check more than one box for race on U.S. census forms. At that time, about 6.83 million people, or 2.4%, checked two or more races on census forms out of a population of about 281 million.
Carolyn Liebler, a sociology professor specializing in family, race and ethnicity at the University of Minnesota, said she expected that the numbers of people identifying as multiracial would be higher in 2010 than they were in 2000 "because the number of mixed-raced marriages are going up" and because of Obama.
"Black Kids in White Houses" (Jen Graves @ The Stranger)
It would be easier for white people if race did not exist. Or if everyone could agree that race did not matter, that is. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "transracial" first appeared publicly in a 1971 Time magazine article. The article introduced transracial adoption, or adoption across racial boundaries—most often white parents adopting children of color—and reported a strange phenomenon. According to a study in Britain, some white parents "tended to 'deny their child's color, or to say he was growing lighter, or that other people thought he was suntanned and did not recognize him as colored. Sometimes the reality was fully accepted [by the parents] only after the very light child had grown noticeably darker after being exposed to bright sunlight on holiday.'"
It's such an outrageous finding that it sounds like a joke. Stephen Colbert's dimwitted white-guy alter ego has a joke like this, when he says on The Colbert Report, always in the most ridiculous of situations: "As you know, I don't see color." The joke is funny because in so many ways it's true. Plenty of white people don't see color. We refuse to look at it, prefer not to see too much difference, because difference almost always makes us feel bad by comparison.
Transracial adoption is awkward to discuss at first, because although it is designed to chart a radically integrated future, on the surface its structure repeats the segregated past. Just look at the basic structure of a family and apply race to the equation. The most crude way to put it: Whites are in charge, children of color are subordinate, and adults of color are out of the picture.
"Carleton cancels Shinerama; says disease only affects 'white people'" (Karen Pinchin @ macleans.ca oncampus)
Carleton University Students' Association is cancelling Shinerama, the school's popular fundraiser for cystic fibrosis, after the council said the fatal disease is not "inclusive" enough.
The motion, which passed 17 to 2 at the association's Nov. 24 meeting, read: "Whereas Cystic fibrosis has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men…Be it resolved that: CUSA discontinue its support of this campaign." . . .
Shinerama fundraising takes place during orientation week and has been happening at Carleton University for nearly 25 years. As a result, the school has raised almost $1 million for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.Only one day after the controversial vote, hundreds of Carleton students have flocked online to protest the cancellation of an event they say is incredibly important to the charitable life of the school.
"The Whitest Kids You Know: Bishop Allen at the Music Hall" (Jamie Peck @ New York Press)
Last Saturday, Bishop Allen filled the Music Hall of Williamsburg with signs of the times. Perhaps due to the band's inclusion on the soundtrack of mainstream indie Michael Cera cute-fest Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, the show attracted an unusually large share of regs for the neighborhood; turtlenecks and business casual attire were on full display and guys clutched their brittle girlfriends in anticipation of the passionate night of missionary sex they'd earned with dinner at Sea, followed by an "edgy" indie rock show in the hip, up-and-coming neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I never thought I'd say this about anyone, but Bishop Allen makes Vampire Weekend look like N.W.A.
As the band threw itself into a long set of jangly pop songs, I recalled a review of Juno that posits the film as operatic performance of a certain brand of neo-urban whiteness: Think stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. Never straying from the tonal range of a children's song, leading man Justin Rice kept a straight face while delivering lyrics like "take another picture with your ca-ca-ca-ca-camera" (if it sounds like a commercial, it's because it is one) and multiple choruses consisting largely of "da-da-da-da" or "la-la-la-la." Rice did an awkward sideways hop when he got excited, and when he got really excited, something resembling Irish step dancing. The audience responded by "wooing" and bouncing around without moving their hips one iota.
Aside from the preponderance of white people,
what's "white" about this band,
its music, and/or this video?
"Click, Click, Click, Click"

This isn't just a nagging question. It's to help designers (such as myself) to understand the importance of paid for fonts.
This question is mainly based on my curiosity to why we should pay for fonts (not meaning we should get them for free) when there are a vast number of adequate fonts out there on the interwebs!
I understand that the fonts you have to pay for are (usually) very high quality but I'd rather use a free font from lets say, FontSquirrel that to me, looks just as good as most of the paid for fonts out there, instead of paying £30-50 for just one font family, and sometimes that's not even all styles (bold, italic, etc), just the original font.
I'm probably being narrow-minded (I hope) and I have never really had the need to buy a font so I was wondering apart from owning the license to use a font or to support the font creator, is there any other reason to actually use purchased fonts?

Amid a resurgence of coronavirus cases nationally, the CDC said it expects to see coronavirus-related deaths increase in 11 states through July 24.
The states on the CDC's radar are Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. The CDC said these 11 states will likely exceed the number reported over the last four weeks.
The rest of the country should see either the same or fewer deaths related to the coronavirus over the next four weeks.
The CDC projects that 11,000 to 31,000 Americans will die from the coronavirus between now and July 24.
