Art Deco
Art Deco (/ˌɑrt ˈdɛkoʊ/), or Deco, is an influential visual arts design style that first appeared in France after World War I and began flourishing internationally in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s before its popularity waned after World War II.[1] It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colours, bold geometric shapes and lavish ornamentation.
Deco emerged from the interwar period when rapid industrialisation was transforming culture. One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. This distinguishes Deco from the organic motifs favoured by its predecessor Art Nouveau.
Historian Bevis Hillier defined Art Deco as "an assertively modern style [that] ran to symmetry rather than asymmetry, and to the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear; it responded to the demands of the machine and of new material [and] the requirements of mass production".[2]
During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress.

The first use of the term Art Deco has been attributed to architect Le Corbusier, who penned a series of articles in his journal L'Esprit nouveau under the headline "1925 Expo: Arts Déco". He was referring to the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts).[3]
The term came into more general use in 1966, when a French exhibition celebrating the 1925 event was held under the title Les Années 25: Art Déco/Bauhaus/Stijl/Esprit Nouveau.[4] Here the term was used to distinguish the new styles of French decorative crafts that had emerged since the Belle Epoque.[3] The term Art Deco has since been applied to a wide variety of works produced during the Interwar period (L'Entre Deux Guerres), and even to those of the Bauhaus in Germany. However, Art Deco originated in France. It has been argued that the term should be applied to French works and those produced in countries directly influenced by France.[5]
Art Deco gained currency as a broadly applied stylistic label in 1968 when historian Bevis Hillier published the first book on the subject: Art Deco of the '20s and '30s.[2] Hillier noted that the term was already being used by art dealers and cites The Times (2 November 1966) and an essay named "Les Arts Déco" in Elle magazine (November 1967) as examples of prior usage.[6] In 1971, Hillier organised an exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, which he details in his book about it, The World of Art Deco.[7]
Some historians trace Deco's roots to the Universal Exposition of 1900.[8] After this show a group of artists established an informal collective known as La Société des artistes décorateurs (Society of Decorator Artists) to promote French crafts. Among them were Hector Guimard, Eugène Grasset, Raoul Lachenal, Paul Bellot, Maurice Dufrêne and Emile Decoeur. These artists are said to have influenced the principles of Art Deco.[9]
The Art Deco era is often anecdotally dated from 1925 when the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes was organized to showcase new ideas in applied arts,[3][10][11][12] although the style had been in full force in France for several years before that date. Deco was heavily influenced by pre-modern art from around the world and observable at the Musée du Louvre, Musée de l'Homme and the Musée national des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie. During the 1920s, affordable travel permitted in situ exposure to other cultures. There was also popular interest in archeology due to excavations at Pompeii, Troy, the tomb of Tutankhamun, etc. Artists and designers integrated motifs from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, Asia, Mesoamerica and Oceania with Machine Age elements.[13][14][15][16][17][18]
Deco was also influenced by Cubism, Constructivism, Functionalism, Modernism, and Futurism.[15][19]
In 1905, before the onset of Cubism, Eugène Grasset wrote and published Méthode de Composition Ornementale, Éléments Rectilignes,[20] within which he systematically explored the decorative (ornamental) aspects of geometric elements, forms, motifs and their variations, in contrast with (and as a departure from) the undulating Art Nouveau style of Hector Guimard, so popular in Paris a few years earlier. Grasset stresses the principle that various simple geometric shapes like triangles and squares are the basis of all compositional arrangements.[21]
At the 1907 Salon d'Automne in Paris, Georges Braque exhibited Viaduc à l'Estaque (a proto-Cubist work), now at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Simultaneously, there was a retrospective exhibition of 56 works by Paul Cézanne, as a tribute to the artist who died in 1906. Cézanne was interested in the simplification of forms to their geometric essentials: the cylinder, the sphere, the cone.
Paul Iribe created for the couturier Paul Poiret esthetic designs that shocked the Parisian milieu with its novelty. These illustrations were compiled into an album, Les Robes de Paul Poiret racontée par Paul Iribe, published in 1908.[22]
At the 1910 Salon des Indépendants, Jean Metzinger, Henri Le Fauconnier and Robert Delaunay, shown together in Room 18, elaborated upon Cézannian syntax, revealing to the general public for the first time a "mobile perspective" in their art, soon to become known as Cubism. Several months later, the Salon d'Automne saw the invitation of Munich artists who for several years had been working with simple geometric shapes. Leading up to 1910 and culminating in 1912, the French designers André Mare and Louis Sue turned towards the quasi-mystical Golden ratio, in accord with Pythagorean and Platonic traditions, giving their works a Cubist sensibility.
Between 1910 and 1913, Paris saw the construction of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, 15 avenue Montaigne, another sign of the radical aesthetic change experienced by the Parisian milieu of the time. The rigorous composition of its facade, designed by Auguste Perret, is a major example of early Art Deco.[23][24] The building includes exterior bas reliefs by Antoine Bourdelle, a dome by Maurice Denis, paintings by Édouard Vuillard and Jacqueline Marval, and a stage curtain design by Ker-Xavier Roussel.
The artists of the Section d'Or exhibited (in 1912) works considerably more accessible to the general public than the analytical Cubism of Picasso and Braque. The Cubist vocabulary was poised to attract fashion, furniture and interior designers.[25]
These revolutionary changes occurring at the outset of the 20th century are summarized in the 1912 writings of André Vera. Le Nouveau style, published in the journal L'Art décoratif, expressed the rejection of Art Nouveau forms (asymmetric, polychrome and picturesque) and called for simplicité volontaire, symétrie manifeste, l'ordre et l'harmonie, themes that would eventually become ubiquitous within the context of Art Deco.[26]
Order, color and geometry: the essence of Art Deco vocabulary was made manifest before 1914.
Several years after World War I, in 1927, Cubists Joseph Csaky, Jacques Lipchitz, Louis Marcoussis, Henri Laurens, the sculptor Gustave Miklos, and others collaborated in the decoration of a Studio House, rue Saint-James, Neuilly-sur-Seine, designed by the architect Paul Ruaud and owned by the French fashion designer Jacques Doucet, also a collector of Post-Impressionist and Cubist paintings (including Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, which he bought directly from Picasso's studio). Laurens designed the fountain, Csaky designed Doucet's staircase,[27] Lipchitz made the fireplace mantel, and Marcoussis made a Cubist rug.[28][29][30]
La Maison Cubiste (The Cubist House)
In the Art Décoratif section of the 1912 Salon d'Automne, an architectural installation was exhibited that quickly became known as La Maison Cubiste (The Cubist House). The facade was designed by Raymond Duchamp-Villon and the interior by André Mare along with a group of collaborators. "Mare's ensembles were accepted as frames for Cubist works because they allowed paintings and sculptures their independence", writes Christopher Green, "creating a play of contrasts, hence the involvement not only of Gleizes and Metzinger themselves, but of Marie Laurencin, the Duchamp brothers (Raymond Duchamp-Villon designed the facade) and Mare's old friends Léger and Roger de La Fresnaye".[31]
La Maison Cubiste was a fully furnished house, with a staircase, wrought iron banisters, a living room—the Salon Bourgeois, where paintings by Marcel Duchamp, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Marie Laurencin and Fernand Léger were hung—and a bedroom. It was an early example of L'art décoratif, a home within which Cubist art could be displayed in the comfort and style of modern, bourgeois life. Spectators at the Salon d'Automne passed through the full-scale 10-by-3-meter plaster model of the ground floor of the facade.[32] This architectural installation was subsequently exhibited at the 1913 Armory Show, New York, Chicago and Boston,[33] listed in the catalogue of the New York exhibit as Raymond Duchamp-Villon, number 609, and entitled "Facade architectural, plaster" (Façade architecturale).[34][35]
Deco emphasizes geometric forms: spheres, polygons, rectangles, trapezoids, zigzags, chevrons, and sunburst motifs. Elements are often arranged in symmetrical patterns. Modern materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, Bakelite, chrome, and plastics are frequently used. Stained glass, inlays, and lacquer are also common. Colors tend to be vivid and high contrast.[13][14][15][36][37][38]
Art Deco was a globally popular style and affected many areas of design. It was used widely in consumer products such as automobiles, furniture, cookware, china, textiles, jewelry, clocks, and electronic items such as radios, telephones, and jukeboxes. It also influenced architecture, interior design, industrial design, fashion, graphic arts, and cinema.
During the 1930s, Art Deco was used extensively for public works projects, railway stations,[39] ocean liners (including the Île de France, Queen Mary, and Normandie), movie palaces, and amusement parks.
The austerities imposed by World War II caused Art Deco to decline in popularity: it was perceived by some as gaudy and inappropriately luxurious.[citation needed] A resurgence of interest began during the 1960s.[11][15][40] Deco continues to inspire designers and is often used in contemporary fashion, jewelry, and toiletries.[41]
Streamline Moderne
A style related to Art Deco is Streamline Moderne (or Streamline) which emerged during the mid-1930s. Streamline was influenced by modern aerodynamic principles developed for aviation and ballistics to reduce air friction at high velocities. Designers applied these principles to cars, trains, ships, and even objects not intended to move, such as refrigerators, gas pumps, and buildings.[14]
One of the first production vehicles in this style was the Chrysler Airflow of 1933. It was unsuccessful commercially, but the beauty and functionality of its design set a precedent.[42]
Streamlining quickly influenced automotive design and evolved the rectangular "horseless carriage" into sleek vehicles with aerodynamic lines, symmetry, and V-shapes. These designs continued to be popular after World War II.[43][44][45]
Surviving examples
- During Portuguese colonial rule in Angola and Mozambique, a large number of buildings were erected especially in the capital cities of Luanda and Maputo.
- Africa's most celebrated examples of Art Deco were built in Eritrea during Italian rule. Many buildings survive in Asmara, the capital, and elsewhere.
- There are a few Art Deco buildings in Egypt, one of the most famous being the former Cadillac dealership in downtown Cairo and Casa d'Italia in Port Said (1936)— designed by the Italian architect Clemente Busiri Vici.
- Also, there are many buildings in downtown Casablanca, Morocco's economic capital.
- Cities in South Africa also contain examples of Art Deco design such as the City Hall, in Benoni, Gauteng, constructed in 1937.
- In Bangladesh, a number of Art Deco structures are found in Chittagong and Rajshahi. Built during the 1950s, they include the University of Rajshahi, the Chittagong Customs House and the Jamuna Bhaban among others.
- In China, at least 60 buildings, of which many are Art Deco, designed by Hungarian architect László Hudec survive in downtown Shanghai.[46]
- There are a few Art Deco survivors in Hong Kong, (The Peninsula Hong Kong 1928, Bank of China Building (Hong Kong) 1952) with high profile buildings demolished to make way for the modern skylines (HSBC Building 1935, demolished 1978). Residential buildings in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon used basic Art Deco theme at a much smaller scale.[47] The Star Ferry Pier, Central and Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier (both built 1957 and former demolished 2006) were both Streamline Moderne with some Art Deco elements.
- In Indonesia, the largest stock of Dutch East Indies-era buildings is found in the large cities of Java. Bandung has one of the largest remaining collections of 1920s Art Deco buildings in the world,[48] including those by several Dutch architects and planners, notably Albert Aalbers's DENIS bank (1936) in Braga Street and the renovated Savoy Homann Hotel (1939). Others were Thomas Karsten, Henri Maclaine Pont, J Gerber and C.P.W. Schoemaker. The Sociëteit Concordia (now Merdeka Building) is a historic building in Bandung designed by Van Galen Last and C.P. Wolff Schoemaker. In Jakarta, surviving Art Deco buildings include the Nederlandsche Handel Maatschappij building (1929), now the Museum Bank Mandiri, by J. de Bruyn, A. P. Smiths, and C. Van de Linde; the Jakarta Kota Station (1929) designed by Frans Johan Louwrens Ghijsels, and the Metropole Cinema in Menteng.
- In Japan, the 1933 residence of Prince Asaka in Tokyo is an Art Deco house turned museum.
- Examples of Art Deco architecture in Malaysia include the Central Market, the Coliseum Theatre, the Odeon Cinema and the Lee Rubber Building in Kuala Lumpur, and the Standard Chartered Building, India House, and the OCBC Bank Building in George Town, Penang.
- Mumbai has the second largest number of Art Deco buildings after Miami.[49] The Art Deco style was also adopted in Chennai between the 1920s and 1940s though it was utilized to a lesser extent.[50]
- In the Philippines, Art Deco buildings are found mostly in Manila, Iloilo City, and Sariaya. The best examples of these are the older buildings of the Far Eastern University and the Manila Metropolitan Theater, both in Manila.
Central and South America
- In Argentina, architect Alejandro Virasoro introduced Art Deco in 1926 and developed the use of reinforced concrete, with the Banco El Hogar Argentino and the Casa del Teatro (both in Buenos Aires) being his most important works. The Kavanagh building (1934), by Sánchez, Lagos and de la Torre, was the tallest reinforced concrete structure at its time, and a notable example of late Art Deco style. In the Buenos Aires Province, architect Francisco Salamone designed cemetery portals, city halls and slaughterhouses commissioned by the provincial government in the 1930s; his designs combined Art Deco with futurism. In Rosario, Santa Fe, the Palacio Minetti is the most representative Art Deco piece.
- Another country with many examples of Art Deco architecture is Brazil, especially in Porto Alegre, Goiânia and cities like Cipó (Bahia), Iraí (Rio Grande do Sul) and Rio de Janeiro, especially in Copacabana. Also in the Brazil's north-east – notably in cities such as Campina Grande in the state of Paraíba – there are Art Deco buildings which have been termed "Sertanejo Art Deco" because of their peculiar architectural features.[51] The reason for the style being so widespread in Brazil is its coincidence with the fast growth and radical economic changes of the country during the 1930s.
- In Santiago, Chile, the Hotel Carrera (no longer a hotel) is a very fine example of Art Deco architecture.
- Art deco buildings are also numerous in Montevideo, Uruguay, including the Palacio Salvo, which was South America's tallest building when it was built in the late 1920s.
- Some of the finest surviving examples of Art Deco art and architecture are found in Cuba, especially in Havana. The Bacardi Building is noted for its particular Art Deco style.[52] The style is expressed by the architecture of residences, businesses, hotels, and many pieces of decorative art, furniture, and utensils in public buildings, as well as in private homes.[2]
One of the largest Art Deco buildings in Western Europe is the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Koekelberg, Brussels. In 1925, architect Albert van Huffel won the Grand Prize for Architecture with his scale model of the basilica at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris.[53]
In Germany two variations of Art Deco flourished in the 1920s and 30s: The Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) employed the same curving horizontal lines and nautical motifs that are known as Streamline Moderne in the Anglophone world. While Neue Sachlichkeit was rather austere and reduced (eventually merging with the Bauhaus style), Expressionist architecture came up with a more emotional use of shapes, colors and textures, partly reinterpreting shapes from the German and Baltic Brick Gothic style. Notable examples are Erich Mendelsohn's Mossehaus and Schaubühne theater in Berlin, Fritz Höger's Chilehaus in Hamburg and his Kirche am Hohenzollernplatz in Berlin, the Anzeiger Tower in Hannover and the Borsig Tower in Berlin. Art deco architecture was revived in the late-20th century by architects like Hans Kollhoff (see his tower on Potsdamer Platz), Jan Kleihues and Tobias Nöfer.
The 1921 Mossehaus in Berlin by Erich Mendelsohn was a pioneering design in Art Deco and Streamline Moderne, that displays how the Deco style spread and evolved in Europe.[54]
Art Deco in Athens incorporated insolently many of the structural and formal characteristics of the Classical idiom, at times transforming them to mere decorative elements, or oppositely, imprinting to them a functionality. Thematically it moved beyond the Classical period and looked for its models in the Mycenaean, Archaic, Hellenistic and Byzantine arts. The classicizing trends however, as one would expect in the city of Parthenon, held strongly, and despite what it has been sometimes suggested, Art Deco was never really independent in Athens. Rather, it accommodated itself in the midst of a strong and ideologically charged classicizing tradition and produced some of the most original and less expected works of the Greek architectural heritage.[55]
Like Romania, Lithuania too experienced booming industrial growth during the Interwar period. This resulted in the rapid modernization of the city of Kaunas in particular. At this time it became the temporary capital of Lithuania. Vytautas the Great War Museum, built in 1936 and located in downtown Kaunas, along with the Central Post Building and the Pienocentras HQ Building (1934) are the three most prominent Art Deco structures in the city. Today many of these buildings still stand, and apartment complexes and large government buildings alike survive from this time, even through the Nazi and Soviet occupations of Kaunas. Many other buildings around the city were built in the Bauhaus style.
An example of Art Deco in Norway is found in the Student Society in Trondheim (built 1927–29). Its interior is based on an abandoned circus, so that the exterior exhibits a characteristic round shape.
As a result of the inter-war period of rapid development, cities in Romania have numerous Art Deco buildings, including government buildings, hotels, and private houses. The best representative in this regard is the capital, Bucharest, which, despite the widespread destruction of its architecture during Communist times, still has many Art Deco examples, both on its main boulevards and in the lesser known parts of the city.[56][57][58] Constanta has the second number of Art Deco buildings after Bucharest.[59] Ploieşti also has many Art Deco houses.[60]
Valencia was built profusely in Art Deco style during the period of economic bounty between wars in which Spain remained neutral. Particularly remarkable are the famous bath house Las Arenas, the building hosting the rectorship of the University of Valencia and the cinemas Rialto (currently the Filmoteca de la Generalitat Valenciana), Capitol (reconverted into an office building) and Naruto.
United Kingdom
During the 1930s, Art Deco had a noticeable effect on house design in the United Kingdom,[15] as well as the design of various public buildings.[11] Straight, white-rendered house frontages rising to flat roofs, sharply geometric door surrounds and tall windows, as well as convex-curved metal corner windows, were all characteristic of that period.[40][61][62]
- The London Underground is famous for many examples of Art Deco architecture,[63] and there are a number of buildings in the style situated along the Golden Mile in Brentford. Also in West London is the Hoover Building, which was originally built for The Hoover Company and was converted into a superstore in the early 1990s.
- The former Arsenal Stadium has the famous East Stand facade. It remains at the Arsenal football club's old home at Highbury, London Borough of Islington, which was vacated in the summer of 2006. Opened in October 1936, the structure now has Grade II listed status and has been converted into apartments. William Bennie, the organizer of the project, famously used the Art Deco style in the final design which was considered one of the most opulent and impressive stands of world football.
- Du Cane Court, in Balham, south-west London, is a good example of the Art Deco style. It was thought to be possibly the largest block of privately owned apartments under one roof in Britain at the time it was built, and the first to employ pre-stressed concrete. It has a grand reception area and is surrounded by Japanese-style gardens; and it has had many famous residents, especially from the performing arts. Elsewhere in south-west London, is the famous Battersea Power Station, which has appeared in films and artwork including the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals. Partially built in the 1930s, the building retains its powerful Art Deco facade.
- In North East England, the Wills Building, an old cigarette factory, is a fine Art Deco building built in the late 1940s in Newcastle upon Tyne.
- In North West England, the Midland Hotel, Morecambe is considered one of the finest surviving examples from this period, with famous sculptures by artist Eric Gill. The buildings and structures related to the Queensway Tunnel which connects Liverpool and Birkenhead are also distinctly Art Deco. Other notable Art Deco buildings in Liverpool include Philharmonic Hall and the former terminal building at Liverpool Airport—now the Crowne Plaza LJLA. See Art Deco architecture in Liverpool.
North America
In Canada Art Deco structures that survive are mainly in urban centres like Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Ontario, and Vancouver. They range from public buildings like Vancouver City Hall to commercial buildings (College Park) to public works (R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant).
- Hamilton boasts a large collection of Art Deco buildings as well. Hamilton GO Centre is the only example of Art Deco railway station architecture in Canada. Other buildings include: The Pigott Building, an 18-storey condominium (1929), The Sunlife Building, The Bell Telephone Baker Exchange (first telephone exchange in the British Empire, 1929), Dominion Public Building refurbished into the John Sopinka Courthouse (1936), and The Hamilton Port Authority (1953).
- In Montréal, the Salle Ernest Cormier at Université de Montréal is considered an example of the Art Deco style. The beautiful style ended just as soon as World War 2 started. The age of cheaper construction began because the main concern at the time was the war.
- Toronto hosts the vast majority of Art Deco buildings built and surviving.
- In Mexico City, art deco residential buildings abound in the chic Condesa neighborhood, many designed by Francisco J. Serrano. The interior of the Palacio de Bellas Artes is a fine example. Another is the Edificio El Moro which has the Loteria Nacional nowadays. It was also the biggest building of Mexico City at the time it was completed.
United States
The U.S. has many examples of Art Deco architecture. Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York have many Art Deco buildings: the famous skyscrapers are the best-known, but notable Art Deco buildings can be found in various neighborhoods. Art deco was popular during the later years of the movie palace era of theatre construction. Excellent examples of Art Deco theatres, such as the Fargo Theatre in Fargo, North Dakota, and The Campus Theatre in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, still exist throughout the United States.
- In 2005, the largest residential restoration project in the country and the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in New Jersey began at the Script error: No such module "convert". site of the former Jersey City Medical Center in Beacon, Jersey City. The conversion of the national historic site to a residential enclave had, as of 2009, been completed on three of the several buildings on the site.
- In Beaumont, Texas, the First National Bank Building, Jefferson County Courthouse, and Kyle Building are some of the few Art Deco buildings still in the city.
- The Cincinnati Union Terminal occupies an Art Deco-style passenger railroad station that began operation in 1933. After the decline of railroad travel, most of the building was converted to other uses. Now the Cincinnati Museum Center, it serves more than one million visitors per year and is the 17th most visited museum in the United States.[64][65] Cincinnati is also home to the Carew Tower, a 49-story Art Deco skyscraper finished in 1931.
- Fair Park, located in Dallas, is a large collection of Art Deco structures from the Texas Centennial Exposition, a World's Fair held in 1936. The 30 surviving buildings now host the annual State Fair of Texas.
- Detroit's many examples of Art Deco architecture include the Fisher Building, Fox Theatre, and Guardian Building, all of which are now National Historic Landmarks, as well as the David Stott and Penobscot Buildings.
- Flint, Michigan is home to The Paterson Building, which has extensive Art Deco features throughout the interior and exterior.
- The Hoover Dam is a somewhat unusual example of Art Deco design. Many guides state that the design was to be Gothic Revival, including the installation of gargoyles with water shooting out of their mouths.[citation needed]
- Houston's Deco survivors include the Houston City Hall, the JPMorgan Chase Building, Ezekiel W. Cullen Building, and the 1940 Air Terminal Museum.[66]
- Kansas City, Missouri is home to the Kansas City Power and Light Building, completed in 1931. This building is a good example of the Great Depression's effect on Art Deco construction. Original plans were for a twin tower to go next to it on its west side. However, it was never built due to financial constraints. As a result, the Script error: No such module "convert". tower has a bare west side, with no windows. Other examples of Deco in Kansas City include the 909 Walnut, the Jackson County Courthouse, Kansas City City Hall, and the Municipal Auditorium.
- The recently opened Smith Center in Downtown Las Vegas incorporates many design elements from Hoover Dam and, therefore, is a contemporary example of the use of Art Deco style.
- Los Angeles' Art Deco architecture is particularly found along Wilshire Boulevard, a main thoroughfare that experienced a period of intense construction activity during the 1920s. Notable examples include the Bullocks Wilshire building and the Pellissier Building and Wiltern Theatre, built in 1929 and 1931 respectively. Both buildings experienced recent restoration.[67][68]
- Miami Beach, Florida has a large collection of Art Deco buildings, with some 30 blocks of hotels and apartment houses dating from the 1920s to the 1940s. In 1979, the Miami Beach Architectural District[69] was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nearly all the buildings have been restored and painted in their original pastel colors.[70]
- Minneapolis has the Foshay Tower, which was finished in 1929. Built immediately before the Great Depression, it is the only obelisk-shaped office building in the world. Minneapolis also has the Rand Tower, the CenturyLink Building, the Minneapolis Post Office, and the Wells Fargo Center, an example of modern Art Deco architecture.
- Rochester, Minnesota has the Plummer Building, from 1927, the original building for the world-famous Mayo Clinic.
- St. Paul, Minnesota is home to the First National Bank Building and the Saint Paul City Hall.
- The Guadalupe County Courthouse and the nearby Municipal Building in Seguin, Texas show successful use of the style in public buildings erected as make-work projects in small towns during the New Deal.
- Syracuse, New York is home to the Niagara Mohawk Building, completed in 1932 and listed as a National Historic Landmark. Niagara Mohawk was considered at the time to be the nation's most powerful electricity supplier, thus the building emphasized a vast futuristic look with an electric style embedded into it.
- Much of the Art Deco heritage of Tulsa, Oklahoma, remains from that city's oil boom days.[71]
Australia also has many surviving examples of Art Deco architecture. Among the most notable are:
- The Manchester Unity Building (Melbourne) features purely decorative towers to circumvent the height restriction laws of the time, and the former Russell Street Police Headquarters in Melbourne, with its main multi-storey brick building designed by architect Percy Edgar Everett, is reminiscent of the design of the Empire State Building.
- In St Kilda, Victoria, the Palais and the Astor theatres are considered some of the finest surviving Art Deco buildings in Australia, while many rural towns such as Wagga Wagga, Innisfail, Albury and Griffith also have significant amounts of Art Deco buildings and homes.
- Sydney's ANZAC War Memorial and "mini-skyscrapers", such as the Grace Building (Sydney) and the AWA Tower in Sydney, which consists of a radio transmission tower atop a 15-story building.
New Zealand
- Hastings, New Zealand was also rebuilt in Art Deco style after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake, and many fine Art Deco buildings survive.
- The city of Napier, New Zealand, was rebuilt in the Art Deco style after being largely razed by the Hawke's Bay earthquake of 3 February 1931 and is the world's most consistently Art Deco city. Although a few Art Deco buildings were replaced with contemporary structures during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, most of the centre remained intact long enough to become recognized as architecturally unique, and from the 1990s onwards had been protected and restored. As of 2007, Napier has been nominated for UNESCO World Heritage Site status, the first cultural site in New Zealand to be nominated.[73][74] According to the World Heritage Trust, when Napier is compared to the other cites noted for their Art Deco architecture, such as Miami Beach, Santa Barbara, Bandung in Indonesia (planned originally as the future capital of Java), and Asmara in Eritrea (built by the Italians as a model colonial city), "none ... surpass Napier in style and coherence.[75]
- Wellington has retained a sizeable number of Art Deco buildings, in spite of constant post-World War II development.[76]

text: I had some unexpected time off from work and ran down to EAS for the pre-conference sessions, where I was able to meet with several beesourcers. I learned a great deal and had a tremendous time seeing everyone from beesource. Thanks to Barry and the many contributors for making this forum possible. My only regret is that I didn't get to stay longer and hear Micheal Palmer's talk. Anyway, the EAS meeting is highly recommended to those who have never attended.

In a genetically blessed family of golden beaches stretching across the Sunshine Coast, Noosa is the sophisticated older sister with impeccable looks and incredible charm.
While well-known Hastings Street is a popular drawcard for visitors to this chic coastal town, it isn't until you uncover Noosa National Park, Noosa Heads, the Noosa Everglades or the hinterland that you realise this vibrant nature hub is just begging to be explored.
If you're after sophisticated seaside relaxation or you want to immerse yourself in the stunning natural scenery of the great outdoors, Noosa has a wave for everyone with your name on it.
Hastings Street unites fashionistas and foodies in one deliciously stylish strip in the heart of Noosa. Just walking distance from the main beach, you could be soaking up UV rays on the sand and hitting the strip for some retail therapy within minutes. Shop till you drop along Hastings Street with a range of high-end boutiques, signature local designers and your favourite labels dotted in between.
Some of the best bars and restaurants line the Hasting Street strip from cute cocktail bars like Miss Moneypenny's to local favourites like Bistro C. And let's not forget, Noosa is home to the Noosa Food and Wine Festival where you can taste some of Australia's best food and wine in an event for all senses over a weekend in May.
Less than 30 minutes' drive outside of Noosa is one of Australia's best art and craft markets, the Eumundi Markets. Known for their locally made artisan treasures, the Eumundi Markets are open every Wednesday and Saturday morning and you can bet your bottom dollar you won't be able to leave without taking home a unique handmade gift or some delicious produce from one of the 500 market stalls.
Lace up your sneakers and explore the jaw-droppingly beautiful walk through Noosa National Park. The 15km of walking tracks will provide you with some of the most incredible natural scenery in South East Queensland, from secluded coves to rugged coastal tracks and 360-degree views from the headland at Noosa Heads. You won't need any koalafications to catch the local wildlife on your walk with koalas nestled in the trees and pods of dolphins visible from the clifftops. The fairy pools in Noosa National Park are the best places to cool off and it can be worth your while to BYO snorkel to see the coral and sponges beneath the rocks at low tide.
Ready to explore? Here are some awesome tips on how to do Noosa National Park.
Paddle around a 60km stretch of reflective, pristine water that is the Noosa Everglades. One of only two everglades in the world, this wetland wilderness rich with flora and fauna is one of Queensland's best kept secrets just waiting to be explored. Here are four reasons to do the Noosa Everglades, so put this epic experience on your bucket list pronto.
Noosa Accommodation is as unique as its contrasting landscapes. If you're travelling with your family, there are fantastic family-friendly apartments or holiday home rentals at Noosaville or along the Noosa River where kids can play.
If you are wanting to stay a little closer to the beach and the happenings of Hastings, rest your head at a hotel or resort in walking distance to the beach.
Looking for a bit more low-key? There are plenty of camping and glamping options, as well as pet-friendly accommodation too, so your four-legged family members don't miss out on all the holiday fun.
Noosaville is the vibrant seaside village centred on the banks of the Noosa River. A holiday hotspot for families, Noosaville plays host to fabulous restaurants, barbeque areas, playgrounds and walking tracks only 5 minutes' drive from Noosa Heads. Hire a stand-up paddle board (SUP), kayak, jet ski or boat and explore Noosa River on the water. There is a ferry operating from Tewantin through to Noosa Heads so take the scenic route and jump on a ferry to Hastings Street.
Less than 30 minutes' drive from Noosa you will arrive at Coolum Beach. The chilled atmosphere, friendly locals and salty sea breeze will have you feeling relaxed in no time. Grab a bite to eat as you stroll along the esplanade or if you're feeling active, you can't beat the spectacular 360-degree views you will be rewarded with for climbing Mount Coolum. For family fun seekers, check out Aqua Park Coolum and try to master their epic inflatable water obstacle course.

The holidays have always been an ideal time to get intoxicated and do embarrassing things that cause irreparable harm to important relationships.
It's a little-known fact that after the three wise men delivered their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the baby Jesus, one of them hit the vino a little hard and sent out a tweet that said, "LOL! What kind of loser gives myrrh as a gift?!?" (Trust me, that was one awkward camel ride home.)
And so, with the holidays descending on us faster than reindeer droppings from Santa's sleigh, it's a good time to talk about the pitfalls of festive office parties.
"I am a big advocate these days for sober parties," said Harris Stratyner, an addiction psychologist and regional clinical vice president at the New York offices of Caron Treatment Centers, a nonprofit drug and alcohol addiction treatment provider. "I think you have to be a fool in this economic zeitgeist to consume alcohol at a holiday business party and risk the chance of doing something that raises eyebrows from your business superiors."
Call him Dr. Buzzkill if you'd like, but Stratyner has a point. At a time when people are desperately clinging to their jobs — and feeling awfully lucky to have them in the first place — even an unintended slip-up around the wrong person could prove costly.
A study commissioned by Caron Treatment Centers found that more than half of those who have attended work-related social events have seen colleagues behaving inappropriately, from flirting with co-workers to driving drunk. And the ability to swiftly post pictures and comments on social media sites has only amplified the potential for trouble.
So should a workplace have a holiday party at all? And if so, should employees bother going?
The answers are "yes" and "yes." But organizers and attendees should keep a few things in mind.
The problem with office holiday parties is that they're business settings cleverly disguised as social functions. Don't forget: Whether you're partying in a conference room or in a bar down the street, IT'S STILL WORK!!
"Employees have to recognize and understand that they should not let their guards down," said Paul Lopez, an attorney at the Florida law firm Tripp Scott who specializes in employment and business disputes. "In their own free time they can act as raucous and out of control as they want, but the truth is a company party is not the right venue to completely let your hair down. There are bells that sometimes can't be unrung, and they certainly can permeate the workplace after the party."
Lopez also advocates keeping company parties dry. However, if booze is provided: "We always recommend that companies communicate to employees that in the event they have had too much to drink, there will be no repercussions for getting a cab or some form of shuttle service. The company should be prepared to pay for that and reimburse any employee who decides to take a cab."
The other issue is to make sure there are management people — sober management people — monitoring the party.
"If you see somebody getting out of line or acting inappropriately — the intoxicated male boss on the dance floor trying to kiss every girl with a heartbeat — you need to get that guy out of the room," Lopez said. "You need to shut that down and stop that kind of behavior from happening. A company-sponsored holiday party is analogous to the workplace, so the rules are all the same."
Evelyn Williams, associate vice president for leadership in the Wake Forest University Schools of Business, said bosses should take an active role in making sure holiday parties are properly lined up.
"I think it starts even in the planning stages, whether you personally celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or 'Festivus for the rest of us,' you have to make sure the tone is inclusive and appropriate," Williams said. "You can't just abdicate responsibility. You have to be clear about tone and inclusivity."
She also believes the boss — or bosses — are obliged to stay in control: "Even though it's a social occasion, you don't get to hand the mantle of 'boss' away. People still have expectations of you. You have to be 100 percent in control of your behavior and recognize there could be consequences if you're not."
All agreed that in the rush to throw a good party, the point of what the party should accomplish is often overlooked. I love free beer and bacon-wrapped scallops as much as the next guy, but at the end of the day, I'm going to appreciate some recognition and support more.
"Bosses should think about the good things they can do at these events," Williams said. "Give the gift of being fully present to your employees. Be a good listener. Express gratitude for the hard work that they've done."
And from the employees' standpoint, listen to the good Dr. Stratyner: "Don't drink before you go to a holiday party. Don't smoke a joint before you go to a holiday party. This is no time for people to get involved in being high and Twittering and posting things on Facebook. This is no time for people to consume mood-altering substances when they could destroy their livelihood and career."
Yikes. Sounds kind of Scroogey.
But I'm afraid it's a bit of holiday wisdom worth taking to heart.

The Earthworks FMR600 23.5-Inch Cardioid
Podium Microphone provides a high level of speech intelligibility and
uniform off-axis response to ensure the orator is heard clearly, with
no loss in sound quality, when speaking at the front or at the sides of
the microphone. This smooth off-axis response also provides more gain
before feedback. With 145dB SPL max acoustic input, it is virtually impossible
to overload the microphone. There is also high rejection of sounds from
the rear of the microphone, with no handling noise in addition to incredible
RFI rejection. The Earthworks FMR600 23.5-Inch Cardioid Podium Microphone
was designed specifically for use as a podium microphone.

The rise of hyperaddictive mobile games can be a double-edged sword for entrepreneurs. As if it wasn't already hard enough to break through the noise with a new product or service, wildly popular mobile games such as Angry Birds are consuming more and more of your customers' time.
But some business owners are jumping at the opportunity to use games to improve how they engage with customers and motivate their employees. Adding a game or game-type elements such as rewards and rankings -- a process commonly referred to as gamification -- can keep users active on your site longer and motivate them to share your content over social media.
Let's face it, people love getting rewards, even virtual ones. It's the old carrot-and-stick method: if, for example, watching a few videos on your site will earn a visitor points that he or she can redeem for exclusive content, that person is more likely to spend time engaging with your content rather than clicking away.
The New York Times recently married a long magazine feature on mobile gaming with an Asteroids-like game that allows you to blow up content on the Times' website. It brought to life the sort of addictive game that the article was critiquing. The game caused a sensation on Twitter and earned attention from media outlets all over the web.
Here are three companies that can help you harness the power of gamification for your business:
1. Bunchball
Rather than creating its own proprietary platform, Silicon Valley-based Bunchball uses Nitro, a scalable platform that can be implemented for websites, social networks and mobile apps. The platform also comes with administration and analytics tools that allow marketers to track how users are engaging with their brands.
2. Badgeville
Contrary to what its name might suggest, Badgeville is about much more than badges (although badges are a common element of gamification). Badgeville says its gaming solutions can add gaming features across all levels of online brand, including your website, mobile apps, communities, CRM systems, and support desk programs.
3. BigDoor
Depending on the size of your site, this Seattle-based company has three gamification packages to choose from. A "Lite" package offers businesses with 25,000 or fewer monthly visitors a pre-designed loyalty plugin, engagement badges and rewards.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who garage sale and those who don't. And, of course, the subset of those who do—buyers and sellers.
So, I planned a garage sale, mostly to get rid of outgrown toys and games. This proved much harder than I expected, since it turns out that my middle boy is a keeper, too, and even more sentimental than I am. Getting him to part with anything was next to impossible.
Me: "You haven't played with any of this in years."
Boy #2: "I just like to look at it. I like knowing it's here."
I see a horder in the making. On the other hand, he started high school this week and he has never been good at transitions. Perhaps my timing was off.
In any case, I sorted and tagged and set out our used stuff for three days. I ran an ad. I Facebooked and Twittered. I posted on Craig's list. We put out signs. And the weather was good — maybe too good; we had very few customers.
I netted about $200.
Given the amount of time I spent getting ready, plus three days managing the sale, plus the cleanup and donation of leftovers, plus the loss-time due to the inevitable sinus infection (I'm allergic to dust, so digging through basements and closets is not a healthy plan), I figure I made about 3¢ an hour.
But it's not about the money (good thing). I hate that we don't fix things anymore, we just throw them out. I have always marveled at my mom's stories of her WWII childhood, where they reused everything—even tinfoil and rubber bands (I still can't bring myself to toss out a rubber band, but I have no particular affinity for used foil). In this disposable world, there is something really satisfying about watching an old item find a new home, maybe even a better one with someone who will love and use it more than I ever did. A garage sale is recycling in the best sense.
Here are a few things I learned:
- next time, I'm holding my sale on Friday from 9-5 and Saturday from 9-noon. That's it.
- the stuff you think will sell never does; the stuff you think won't, will.
- once it goes into the garage sale, never let it back in the house. Arrange for a charity to pick up the dregs.
- grandmothers are the best customers for toys. They love to treat their grandchildren, but don't always know what they want. Garage sale games and toys make them look like a hero for pennies on the dollar.
- kids love a bargain, and I loved watching them plow through my bargain box (25¢ each, or 7 for a $1), choosing which treasures they couldn't live without. That's a lot of joy for a buck.
- price to sell. If your junk is worth so much, then why are you getting rid of it?
- garage sales are boring without a steady flow of customers, but I did get to meet our new neighbors, so that's a plus.

My older brother passed away a year ago today. My wife puts stock in anniversaries. I didn't do that, but I wonder …
Yesterday I attended a meeting with the same group that met the day I got word of my brother's fatal accident. The young miss was just a few hours into a week-long trip last year when we got word. She was upset and distracted the whole week. Monday, she texted us that she got sick at school, and for us to pick her up. "Not thinking," she just walked out of school without a trip to the nurse, the main office, or even the student attendance desk. No wonder my wife and I got those e-mails and v-messages about absence.
When life seens out of balance, maybe the best thing to do is to look up.
I think I posted this music last year, but this is the setting of Psalm 36:6-9 (BCP) I composed for my brother's funeral.

DRHOOK- Not Freddy: Mercury affects skin, lungs, brain
Planets are pretty fascinating. Don't you think it is amazing there are other planets, suns, and moons? Not to sound like Katherine Hepburn (remember, Barbara Walters asked her if she were a tree, what kind would she be?), but if I were a planet, I would definitely be Mercury, named after the Roman messenger of the gods. Like him, I like to travel fast and enjoy warm weather. I'd be the first to make it around the sun.
"Ha-ha, Venus! I win again!" (Hmm, should I write a book, Dr. Hongs are from Mercury, Others from Venus?)
Is mercury affecting you?
Mercury, Hg, is a very interesting element. I first learned about it when I broke an oral thermometer, and the silvery beads of liquid spilled out onto the kitchen countertop. I tried to pick up the rolling beads with my fingers, but my mother stopped me.
"No, don't touch it!" she yelled. "It's toxic, and will absorb into your skin."
Later, in chemistry class, I learned that although Hg is a metal liquid at room temperature, it is still volatile and can easily be inhaled.
Throughout history, it has been observed how people get sick from Hg exposure, yet it continues to be used in many things. Some prehistoric cave drawings have traces of mercury.
In the 19th century, Hg was used to make felt hats and mirrors. "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the most toxic one of all?"
It is thought that half a million Brazilian gold miners currently use Hg to concentrate gold. Hg is also used in some thermometers, barometers, and blood pressure gizmos.
The main exposures to folks like us come from eating fish and from amalgam tooth fillings. The World Health Organization estimates amalgams release 10mcg a day of Hg, which might be higher in folks (like me) who grind their teeth. So far, there are no findings showing a connection between amalgam tooth fillings and degeneration of central nervous system (CNS– the brain and spinal cord).
Fish is healthy for you, but you hear about not eating fish more than twice a week– and, to prevent mercury from accumulating in the body, pregnant women should not be eating fish at all. Shark, swordfish, and tuna have the highest levels of Hg. (Sorry, Charlie.) In polluted waters, methyl mercury levels are high in pike, walleye, and bass. Actor Jeremy Piven quit his Broadway play because he said eating sushi twice a day gave him mercury poisoning.
Of course there is the controversy of thimerosal, the Hg compound used as a preservative in vaccines. The question is whether it causes autism. Vaccines are now being made preservative free.
Hg can be breathed in, absorbed through the skin, and ingested, depending on the chemical state of the element. Also depending on the Hg compound, it can be excreted via bowel movement, peeing it out, exhaling it, or it deposits in– hair! "I'd like highlights please to cover up the mercury."
CNS damage can cause intentional tremor, which means there isn't a tremor when one is at rest. The tremor occurs with movement, so shaving, sewing, and writing can become a nightmare. Inflammation of the gums and salivating like a rabid wolf can steer a person away from the best of dinner parties. Poor memory, insomnia, depression, irritability, and fatigue can all occur from Hg toxicity.
In Hong Kong and Kenya, skin products that were supposed to lighten the skin ended up causing kidney disease! Mercury is a strong diuretic but can cause the kidneys to spill protein into the urine, which leads to fluid retention, bad cholesterol, and fatigue.
I might want to be the planet Mercury, but I don't really like it in my body. Music from the late Freddy Mercury, from the band Queen, is the only mercury I like in my life.
Dr. Hook cracks a joke or two, but he's a renowned physician with a local practice and an interesting website, drjohnhong.com. Email him with your questions.

2) The header short end is too short to fit into the servo female end.
Yes, thanks BranchofLight! I saw this written in a post whilst looking for the reason that #7 doesn't work properly either, and tried it, seems to work. That said the servo's wires are on the plastic block in a different order to the book so even with the header pins it still couldn't have worked
Yes and that's what I did, but you know when you buy a book as part of a learning kit it's really not entirely unreasonable to expect them to be as illustrated .

Game bird hunters urged to take note of new rules for shotguns
Game bird hunters are now restricting the number of shots they use in game bird hunting in six of the 12 Fish & Game regions, a measure introduced for "sound" conservation and sporting reasons.
The new game bird hunting season gets underway on Saturday, May 6, 2017.
The Auckland-Waikato Fish & Game Region was first to bring in the three shot rule which requires hunters to plug their shotgun magazines so that the gun holds no more than three shots in total.
Other regions introducing restrictions on the number of shots are Eastern, Hawke's Bay and
West Coast, while Wellington and Nelson Marlborough are banning magazine extensions.
Fish & Game communications manager Don Rood says the three shot rule is simply another tool to help reduce pressure on game bird populations and provide more opportunity for other hunters.
We have to strike a balance between providing hunters enough ducks every season while conserving populations for following seasons. We strive to achieve this with appropriate bag limits and season lengths, he says. "The three shot rule is another tool to help sustainability – that will help limit the number of ducks being harvested."
Mr Rood says that decades ago, when semi-automatics first came on the market, they were restricted to a two-shot capacity.
"But these days, it's possible to have shotguns with a capacity of eight-plus shots, so that six hunters on a pond could conceivably be firing up to 54 shots at a time.
The three-shot rule means hunters know their shots are limited – which we believe makes them think more carefully about shot placement.
The rule makes game bird hunting more sporting as it reduces any temptation to continue firing as game birds are moving out of range – which reduces the chances of wounding a bird, Mr Rood says.
"We have had positive feedback from hunters to say that 'sky busting' (taking too many shots at too long a range) is less prevalent."
He adds that Fish & Game is pleased to see the three shot rule applied more widely "as we look to healthier game bird populations in regions such as Eastern, where the mallard population is on the way up."
Fish & Game rangers will take a firm line where the rule is concerned this season because compliance is "pretty easy and inexpensive to achieve."
The three shot rule says that a shotgun magazine must not hold more than two rounds of any size, plus one more in the breech – three in all. And the rule applies for all waterfowl including pukekos.
Firearm safety rules should always be followed and a cartridge should not be put in the chamber until a shot is about to be taken.
Guns can be plugged with a removable plastic filler which doesn't require a gunsmith to install semi-permanent pins and rivets.
"But if you don't have the original filler-plug your shotgun came with, they're easy enough to make using a piece of doweling. Discuss with your local hunting store or ask a gunsmith to do the job for you."
We advise hunters to study the game bird regulations booklet (or go online – www.fishandgame.org.nz) so they are very clear about whether the regulations apply in the regions they'll be hunting in, Mr Rood says.
Auckland / Waikato – three shot rule
Eastern – three shot rule
Hawke's Bay – three shot rule
Wellington – no magazine extensions permitted
Nelson-Marlborough – no magazine extensions permitted
West Coast – five shot rule (four in mag one in chamber)

In February, the forgotten Cannonball Pueblo collection was returned home to southwest Colorado from a museum at the University of Minnesota. The 800-year-old Pueblo village is within Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.
"To see my work culminate in the return of precious cultural resources is thrilling," Burkett said. "I had found inventories that showed the artifacts should be at the Anasazi Heritage Center, but they had traveled far from their origins."
The striking collection of artifacts displayed for a media tour included decorated bowls, dippers, axe heads and hunting supplies from the Pueblo III period, circa 1150-1350.
How they ended up in Minnesota is a "very convoluted story" Burkett says. More on that later, because the backstory leading up to the artifact reunion is equally interesting.
Cannonball Mesa was the first ruin to be permitted for excavation under the 1906 Antiquities Act, a federal law that helped to put an end to wholesale looting of archaeological sites, said Bridget Ambler, head curator at the Anasazi Heritage Center Museum.
"Before the area had a museum for curation, the excavated collections were scattered to the winds," Ambler said during a tour of the collection. "This is a real homecoming story."
In 1908, Sylvanus Morley, a Harvard archaeologist who grew up in Buena Vista, Colo., volunteered to survey the McElmo Canyon area, including Cannonball Pueblo. The village features 100 masonry structures, including six towers resembling those at nearby Hovenweep National Monument. Kivas, multistory pueblos and ancient reservoirs were also present.
The initial research was funded by the University of Colorado and the Colorado State Historical Society. As repayment, the McElmo Canyon artifacts, including from Cannonball, were divided between both institutions.
Morley's Cannonball Pueblo report was the first archaeological publication focusing on the McElmo area. Morley and colleague Edgar Hewett went on to become well-known experts in Mayan ruins and hieroglyphics at Chichen Itza and Tikal in Mexico and Guatemala.
Ambler said that most of the Cannonball artifacts were returned to the Anasazi Heritage Center in 2000 and 2009 from CU and the historical society.
"In 1990, the Anasazi Heritage Center museum was started, and we became legally responsible for consolidating the collections from this area, and we pursued them," Ambler said.
Burkett's researched revealed that there were more Cannonball artifacts out there. But that unraveling transactions to different museums was difficult as many were not recorded "and were done with a handshake."
One clue seemed promising. Burkett found that in 1970, CU exchanged 16 items of its Cannonball collection to the University of Minnesota museum, helping to explain their forgotten origins.
"I contacted them, but my internship ended before I found out. Then I saw that a crateful of items had been returned to the heritage center, and I was ecstatic," recalls Burkett, who has since graduated from Western State College and works at a museum in Crested Butte.
Added Ambler, "The curators there were wondering what they were doing with a southwest Colorado collection and were happy to send them home. They belong to their place of origin where they have contextual meaning."
The lost Cannonball artifacts won't go on display at this point, Ambler said, but they will be available for research.
"We are taking a fresh look at them," she said. "When the truck pulled up, it was a special day and very exciting for the staff to unwrap each item."

Tecmo Koei PS Vita launch title Dynasty Warriors Next plays like a standard Dynasty Warriors title for the most part, but when certain officers clash it's time for a little Infinity Blade style touch screen dueling.
Using the touch screen to slash, block, and otherwise decimate powerful opponents is nothing new, at least for iPhone or iPad owners. Next month new PlayStation Vita owners get a fresh taste of swipe-and-slash gameplay via Dynasty Warriors Next's duel mode. When activated the game shifts to a first-person perspective (unlike Infinity Blade's third-person view) and players have to touch, tap, and swipe their way through cinematic one-on-one battles.
Kinda makes me wonder why there's no Dynasty Warriors game for iOS yet. Until that happens, there's Dynasty Warriors Next.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease is a degenerative brain disease that has been recognized since the 1920s. It is a human prion (infectious protein) disease that progresses rapidly and is always fatal, usually within one year from onset of illness.
CJD was not added to the list of legally reportable diseases in Idaho until 2004. (For more information about reportable diseases please see the Idaho Reportable Disease Summary website.) Prior to that, information on the number of cases of CJD was based only on information reported on death certificates. The annual number of reported CJD deaths in Idaho during 1985—2011 ranged from zero to seven. CJD deaths were reported from 22 Idaho counties. During 1985 through 2011, only 18 (43%) of 42 persons with CJD on their death certificate had received an autopsy. Although a clinical diagnosis of CJD based on symptoms and physical examination is reportable, autopsy is the only way to confirm the diagnosis.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Deaths† among Idaho Residents: 1985—2011
†Number of deaths reported on death certificate as CJD, 1985—2011. Idaho resident deaths might have occurred in Idaho or out of state. ICD-9 code used from 1985—1998: 046.1; ICD-10 code used from 1999—2011: A81.0 (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease) and B94.8 (Sequelae of other specified infectious and parasitic diseases and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease is specified).
CJD counts published based on year of death might differ from counts published based on year of report.
‡Data from 2011 are preliminary.
Source: Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (1/2011).
CJD in Idaho: 2005
In late July 2005, South Central District Health and the Idaho Dept. of Health and Welfare, Office of Epidemiology and Food Protection (now Bureau of Communicable Disease Prevention), began investigating reports of possible CJD cases due to a concern about an increase in this disease in southcentral Idaho. All five patients were over 55 years of age and all are deceased. The investigation included a review of medical records and interviews with treating physicians. A survey for information on dietary habits, residence, travel, occupation, surgeries, and other life experiences also was conducted through interviews with family members. No common travel, occupation, place of employment, surgical procedures, medications, supplements, or unusual food history were identified. Autopsies were done for three of the five patients. A diagnosis of CJD (not variant CJD) was confirmed in two autopsied patients and the autopsy results for the third patient were not consistent with CJD. The illness in the two patients who were not autopsied did not meet the case definition for probable or possible CJD. No explanation for the increase in reports was found, but in 2006 and 2007, no cases of CJD were reported from the area, suggesting the cases may have coincidentally occurred in the same time frame.
Checklist for healthcare providers regarding suspected CJD cases.

Well this is a post I've been meaning to write for a while.
Every single time women of colour talk about "white feminism" or "white feminists" within the context of discussions about the way that the mainstream feminist movement privileges whiteness, we deal with an onslaught of defensive white women insisting that they personally are not like that, and would you please say "some white women" and not make generalizations?
What those women fail to realize is that by making that request, they are exemplifying Mikki Kendall's #solidarityisforwhitewomen battle cry; by once again insisting that a conversation created to facilitate discussion about the issues of WoC, be centered around the feelings of white women.
Now, I understand the impulse to get defensive. It can be very off-putting to feel attacked for a transgression that you know yourself not to be guilty of. But in the context of social justice and movement building, if you're feeling attacked, it probably means you're having your privilege challenged, not that you are a bad person. As I always say, "If it doesn't apply to you, then it's not about you. If it's not about you, then don't take it personally." Being a good ally means recognizing that sometimes your input is not needed or wanted, and that it's incredibly inappropriate to demand that a marginalized group, (in this case, WoC within the feminist movement) restructure a conversation that is happening to serve their needs, in a way that is more "comfortable" for the very people they are mobilizing against. That is the very definition of flexing one's privilege.

It is simply meant to be an easily understandable visual representation of my assertion that not every white woman is a "white feminist" and not every "white feminist" identifies as white. It's purpose is as a reference, not statistical fact. PSF and I talked about trying to make it more open-ended/accurate but both decided that to do that would sacrifice clarity for inclusivity, and that it wasn't necessary in order to make such a simple point.]
