|Henry Taylor, Gloria, Susanne & Natalina
Part 1 gives the details about Henry (aka Harry) Taylor being hidden by Nick's grandmother and grandfather in Italy during WW2, and that we are looking for Henry's descendants in California.
Nick sent me new information and photos from his Italian and Australian relatives which might help us in our search for the family of Henry Taylor.
On the left is a lovely family photo sent to Nick's family in Italy from Henry either while he was living in England or after he immigrated to California.
I believe from other clues that this photo was taken in London England.
From the clothing and hairstyles I put this photo at late 1940s or very early 1950s. So this helps us determine when Susanne and Natalina were born.
|Reverse of photo of daughter
This image on the left is the reverse of a photo of Henry's daughter - the baby you see in the photo above.
It appears to have been taken on the same day as the family group shot above as the daughter (Natalina?) is wearing what looks like the same dress and appears to be the same age.
This reverse image gives the name of the photographer, A. Barrett and an address of 109 Holloway Rd, London UK
A search of Google Maps gives a very good overview of where Holloway Rd is - in Islington Borough of the City of London. So I think we may be able to find Henry and family in the Voter's Registrations for London England.
|Henry Taylor's daughter
In this photo of Henry's youngest daughter Natalina, her dress has a type of smocking that was typical of the 1940s.
There may be passenger lists of his arrival when he immigrated from England to California under the name Harry Taylor. And it appears that his entire family came with him or at least came over at some time. So they may appear on passenger lists too either with Henry or arriving separately.
|Reverse of photo of Henry Taylor in Part 1
It reads:
Harry Taylor
11 Co...is Road (I can't read this but it's crossed out with a single faint line and written under it is 48 Grove Dale)
Upper Holloway
London England
Upper Holloway is found in Islington Borough of the City of London
Henry aka Harry Taylor was a British soldier in WW2. While in Italy and was hidden from the German army by Nick's grandparents. He was probably in his 20s.
After WW2 Henry aka Harry lived in London England at least until late 1940s or early 1950s
At some point Henry and family left England for California and were there at least by 1961, possibly earlier.
Henry kept in touch with Nick's Italian grandparents, and their daughter Natalina (Lina) until sometime between 1961 and 1965. Then contact was lost
Henry's wife was Gloria and they had 2 daughters, Susanne and Natalina. Judging by the new family group photo above, it appears the daughters may have been born in England ca 1945-early 1950s
We might find a record of Henry aka Harry's marriage to Gloria in Free BMD We might find a record of the births of Susanne and Natalina there too
A search of Voters' Registrations in London England and in California might turn up Henry and his wife Gloria
A search of Ships Passenger Lists might find Henry and his family arriving in USA
If anyone has any other ideas please do tell us in the Comments section. If you want to jump in and join in the search for Henry, his wife or daughters, please do! Just type your search results in the Comments section of this blog so that others can benefit from your finds.
Let's reunite Nick's aunt Lina (for whom Henry's daughter Natlina was named) with Henry's family.

I noticed today my ISPConfig installation has stopped updating my Debian server when it wouldn't create a new database. The records are there in ISPConfig but no database on the server. I took out a website on ISPConfig and under /var/www/clients/client#/ the original web# was still there and when I put the website back in ISPConfig add a new web# on it's own system but there was no change on the server. I recycled the server but still not working. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this???

It's fair to say that this blog steers towards the mainstream. It touches on the ECW brand and occasionally mentions Superstars, but generally this is a Raw and Smackdown stronghold. Well, this was spotted by the fine people who make WWE Superstars. Yes, WGN America emailed me this past week to say "Hey! Ray! How comes you ain't gots no love for Supahstahs? We'z da coolest show on WGN!" Ok, so it didn't really read like that . But WGN America did actually get in touch with me to point out that I'm giving WWE Superstars the cold shoulder. Sorry!
Truth is, it's a timing thing. I would love nothing more than to recap every WWE show, but I haven't got the time to cover everything. Also, I may be wrong, but I don't think Sky Sports have picked Superstars up yet. It's only a matter of time, but still. We Brits have to make alternative arrangements if we want to watch the show. Let's just say, we've all got very good American friends and leave it at that.
So, as I've been stood up for the gym tonight (postponed til tomorrow) here's a brief recap of last week's WWE Superstars.
David Hart Smith/John Morrison
I have to confess, I have a soft spot for David Hart Smith. I don't love him madly or anything, but I want to see him become a star. It probably has a little something to do with his dad, but he's also a brilliant talent. I'll dare anyone who fancies a challenge to point and laugh at his acid pink knee-pads.
The match against Morrison was superb. Whether it was the suped up Canadian crowd, a readiness to move up the ladder or a combination of two, DHS definitely seemed to up his game. John Morrison is like Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho – he's generous. He allows youngsters to shine but still looks fabulous himself. By the way, they were leather pockets on the back of his tights, right? He didn't just cut two holes out of his backside, did he? Because those pockets were totally the same colour as his bronzed skin. Just sayin'.
A Starship Pain and a flick of the hair later, John Morrison had taken the match.
I don't know what's more distracting – the fact that every scrap of Goldust's skin is obscured from view (Why? What kind of scales and sores is his hiding under there?) or the fact that way too much of Sheamus is on show. Damn. I think that boy was EXTRA pink this week. And I thought John Cena was afraid of the tanning booth. Much like Jim Ross, I can always rely on Josh Matthews to come up with the perfect words.
I was expecting to have to feign enthusiasm for this one, but it was actually pretty good. The crowd appreciated it too, which should be no surprise being that Canadian fans love technicalities. Goldust pinned Sheamus for the win after almost 15 minutes of quality competition. Nice!
Mickie James + Kofi Kingston/Rosa Mendes + Carlito
I missed Mickie James on Raw last week, so it was cool to see her show up on Superstars. And I have to agree with Jerry Lawler. What on EARTH was going on with Carlito's hair? I'm trying to remember what it reminded me of…….
Another enjoyable match. Rosa has a way to go, but Superstars is the perfect platform for her. How often does Raw have time for a match like this? I guess that's premise of Superstars though; to give decent TV time to those who usually have just bit parts. After a typically strong performance by all, it came to an end when Carlito put the Back-Stabber on Kofi, after he botched one of his high-flying leaps to the top rope.
You're welcome, WGN America. Kiss-kiss.

The lens starts out telling a little about when we met Marshall Sylver.
We first met Marshall Sylver at a Launch Tree Live event here in Las Vegas. Quite an amazing event put on by Mike Filsaime and Anik Singal are the Founders of Launch Tree.
The event featured about a dozen or so big players in the internet marketing industry, I have a thread started on The Internet Marketers Guild. Marshall Sylver we were introduced to on Saturday evening when he did a little hypnosis show that our daughter Cait actually participated in.

The Advantage of Lead Generation
Many businesses are struggling right now-- specially when it comes to sales. A common belief about sales is that it is all just cold calling as many people or businesses as possible until you get a bite. The method of finding this new business is called lead generation.
One of the biggest keys to a successful business is the generation of new sales leads. A lead is a person or company that has shown some passion in the services or products that your company provides.
Years ago, leads were created by seeing people, cold calling, and purchased lists. You could develop leads, but the volume of successful leads would not be major. In the last 10-15 years advances in technology have made it extremely easy to target and acquire ideal leads.
It's now achievable to generate an extremely high volume of leads in a quick period of time. The more leads you get, the more pitches your sales team is ultimately going to close. For many companies, it will make sense to dedicate full time employees exclusively to working on lead generation.
Lead Generation Companies and The Best Way To Choose One
Organically acquiring users to your site takes a ton of time and effort, and those lead generation strategies ebb and flow with consumer demand and general brand awareness. To help make up for an organic pipeline that has slowed to a trickle, many sales and marketing teams turn to lead generation companies to keep sales teams active and expand their customer base.
Lead gen companies and services can be vital as you have outsourced a complex and time-consuming task to experts. And the only way to get sales is to generate leads first - in other words, generate interest in your services and customer inquiries about purchasing it.
So lead generation is vital because it's what keeps companies running.
It's a sport of numbers, and those numbers build up in here well-planned lead generation strategies. The main aim is quality, and 'quality' here means that you're producing pre-qualified leads that you can approach with personalized, industry-specific messaging.
You can't generally label any tactic the 'best lead generation tactic' or the 'worst'. For each one you can get a hold of companies that get enough clients doing just that (be it email marketing, SEO, or content marketing). B2B marketers say that the biggest obstacles to lead generation success are the lack of resources in budgeting, staffing, or time.


text: Musicians get mark of approval as artist immortalizes legends on stampsUpdated 2:35 PM ET, Fri August 29, 2014 Chat with us in Facebook Messenger. Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds. Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalLucky Dube – By Lauren Said-Moorhouse, for CNNThe sounds of South Africa have recently been immortalized with the help of the South African Post Office. Last month saw the launch of a special stamp collection that pays tribute to some of the country's most beloved creative souls. The incredible monochrome images were created by artist Hendrik Gericke, who told CNN about his process of capturing his nation's best-loved performers.Gericke was brought onto the project by Cape Town-based design agency M&C Saatchi Abel, who were working with the South African Post Office. They curated a list of musicians and passed them on to the 33-year-old artist to interpret for the latest stamp collection, he tells CNN. Lucky Dube was an obvious addition to the list. Known for singing in the traditional Zulu tongue of mbaqanga, Dube made a splash in the '80s with his politically charged songs about social injustice, set to the backdrop of uplifting beats and strong reggae sounds. It would be the start of a fruitful 25-year career that saw him release 22 albums in Zulu, Afrikaans and English before his untimely demise in 2007. To evoke the power of the superstar -- Dube remains South Africa's all-time best-selling reggae artist -- and the many other musicians represented, Gericke opted for monochrome prints."The style [the post office] were after was a linocut, woodcut look because it has a strong presence in South African art historically across the board." Hide Caption 1 of 9 Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalHe continues: "They wanted a new original approach to the postage stamp which has traditionally had a very soft, watercolor kind of look. A lot of animals of the country, flowers of the country -- those are the typical things you'd find on a postage stamp. They are normally very polite, the concept of them. "That's OK but I think they wanted to move into a more graphically-innovative direction." It's a project that caters to Gericke's artistic strengths -- heavy, tonal work -- as seen in this design of Bernoldus Niemand, a defiant rock musician and songwriter on the South African music scene in the 1970s.Hide Caption 2 of 9 Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalMiriam Makeba – The South African-born artist has illustrated 10 musicians from his homeland for this first stamp collection for the South African Post Office including Miriam Makeba, pictured, who is largely recognized for helping bring African music off the continent to an eager global audience. To create the digital etchings, he started by roughly sketching a pencil drawing using a photograph for inspiration. "You start with a pencil drawing and then I would take them to Photoshop and do a rough, tonal drawing over it."Hide Caption 3 of 9 Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalMiriam Makeba – "The temptation is to work into every bit of visual information on the page. So where you find blacks in the finished product, the temptation is to put grays there. It's a challenge because it's a matter of less is more," says the artist who has been enthusiastically drawing since he was a young boy. "The eye solves the puzzle. You have separate pen lines, but if you step back, they form a face. It's an interesting tightrope to walk when you always need to dial it back."Hide Caption 4 of 9 Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalSimon Nkabinde – Of the portraits he's done, Gericke says his representation of Simon Nkabinde -- the mbaqanga singer famous for his "groaning" style -- is his favorite. "It was such an easy one to do -- it was perfectly lit in terms of the stage light on the back of the head and the hard light on the face," he explains. Hide Caption 5 of 9 Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalSpokes Mashiyane – Gericke is nothing if not a perfectionist and it's clear through the way he describes his work that he's constantly looking for ways he can improve his craft. Another particular favorite of his in this series is that of Spokes Mashinani, the master pennywhistle player who rose to prominence in the 1950s, pictured, and Kippie Moeketsi, a saxophonist from the 1920's jazz scene."They are nicely balanced between the heavy blacks and the spatial highlights coming out," he says.Hide Caption 6 of 9 Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalBrenda Fassie – Another singer represented in this collection of stamps is Brenda Fassie, the outspoken and larger-than-life singer best known for her Afro-pop tunes."I am a massive music fan and it was an honor to represent these people," Gericke says fondly. "To have these people acknowledged is very comforting. That they are going back and saying [these are] people who made a difference. You had all these township musicians who culturally weren't regarded by the powers that be. But music doesn't care. Music will be made regardless and it's so good that they are acknowledged after all this time."Hide Caption 7 of 9 Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalJohannes Kerkorrel – Gericke says that his depiction of Johannes Kokkherol had particular emotional resonance for him."He formed part of a cultural movement called Voëlvry which means (in Afrikaans) 'Free as a bird.' It was a group of Afrikaans musicians who were speaking out against the state and no one did that..."He adds: "These guys were Afrikaans guys saying 'You know what, to hell with this, we are going to follow our conscience.' And I have enormous respect for that because I know what the culture can be like in terms of rejecting someone who doesn't tow that line ... they risked jail time, they risked all kinds of things by objecting to the powers that be." Hide Caption 8 of 9 Photos: Music legends get stamp of approvalTaliep Petersen – "Some of these people have been dead for decades and the material available of them is very small ... so it's 'take what you can get out of it.' I had to go and figure out what information needed to be in there."The artist hopes that people will see the stamps and gain a deeper appreciation for the legacies left behind by these dearly-departed icons -- like beloved musical-theater personality Taliep Peterson, pictured. Gericke has just finished the second set of stamps which are slated for release next year. To see more of his artwork celebrating South Africa's musical heritage, click here.

Every day, hundreds of UNF students, faculty and staff walking through the doors of the Student Union are better informed about campus events because of a new digital signage system.
Six 46-inch screens in the lobby areas of all floors and in the Boathouse display a variety of information ranging from free HIV testing to the latest events sponsored by Osprey Productions. For now, only static images are used to convey information, but the digital signage system is a work in progress, according to Justin Camputaro, director of the Student Union. Each screen is capable of scrolling text-only emergency messages. However, that capability will be expanded, he said, to include video and audio messages. "Our IT staff is working with the software to make it more user-friendly and, hopefully, allow us to expand the capabilities of the system," he said. The expanded system may be in place by this summer.Campus groups and departments can submit information for display on the screens. A Web site at www.unf.edu/studentunion/signage/ has been established to accept information for the signs.According to Camputaro, only on-campus groups and departments can post information, though off-campus organizations or businesses can post messages when hosting an event at the Student Union. No paid advertising is accepted. All events in the Student Union receive priority viewing. The signage system can be programmed to appear on many of the new TVs in the Student Union, and the system also has the capability of broadcasting Comcast channels, so it is possible for the programmer to switch to a news channel or Osprey TV if a situation warrants it.The screens operate 18 hours a day, showing an average of 20 different slides each day on 10-second intervals. More than 60 messages have been displayed since the system went live in February. Camputaro is optimistic that once the system is fully programmed, the screens will become an important part of on-campus communications.The Student Union screens are the latest in a series of tools available to the campus community to get the word out about events. Other tools include:
Online calendar of events: This the most important tool to get the information to internal and external audiences. Go to www.unf.edu/calendar and hit the submit button to add an event to the calendar.Student Update: An e-mail reminder about this Web-based news source is sent out to students every Friday with the highlights and a link to the Web site. Submit items for Student Update at www.unf.edu/studentupdate after submitting them to the calendar of events.Campus Update: This daily electronic newsletter is sent to faculty and staff each weekday morning. Submit items for Campus Update to firstname.lastname@example.com before 10 a.m. and after submitting them to the calendar of events.UNF Update: This electronic monthly newsletter is sent to 2,000 community members and includes highlights about upcoming cultural, intellectual and athletic events. Send information to Julie Williams, assistant director of Marketing and Publications, at firstname.lastname@example.com to be considered after submitting it to the calendar of events.Calendar Ad: The monthly calendar ad features a combination of 10 to 12 lectures, art exhibits, performances and athletic events on campus that can be found on the calendar of events. The ads are published in The Florida Times-Union and Folio Weekly. Contact Dave Roman, director of Marketing and Publications, at firstname.lastname@example.com to suggest items for the ad.Inside: This electronic monthly newsletter is sent to nearly 2,000 UNF employees. It features news and information relevant to the campus community. E-mail story ideas to Dave Roman at firstname.lastname@example.com roadside signage: The three new electronic signs at UNF's entrances feature brief messages promoting events on campus. To request having your event posted on the signs, contact Sarah Dufresne, assistant director of Special Events, at firstname.lastname@example.com after submitting the event to the calendar of events.Telephone hold message: The hold message uses events selected because of their broad appeal to external and internal audiences. Contact Sarah Dufresne at firstname.lastname@example.com about including an event after submitting it to the calendar of events.News releases and media pitches: For stories that would be interesting or relevant to the Jacksonville community, the University contacts local media outlets either through releases or pitches. Contact Joanna Norris, assistant director of Media Relations, at firstname.lastname@example.com with story ideas.Hot button on the myWings portal: Units can request a hot button on the myWings portal by sending an e-mail to Sharon Ashton, chair of the Internet Presence Committee, at firstname.lastname@example.com Connector shuttle bus advertisements: These ads targeting students can be purchased for the fall, spring and summer semesters for an average of about $1,000, depending on the semester. Watch Campus Update for information on when they are available and the cost.
Two gifts to The Power of Transformation campaign will eventually result in an infusion of more than $1 million to the First Generation Scholarship program.The gifts of $250,000 from both EverBank and THE PLAYERS Championship were announced recently at the annual First Generation luncheon on campus. Eventually, they will generate an additional $500,000 in state matching funds resulting in a total of $1 million flowing into the program over the five-year commitment for both gifts. The money will fund scholarships for students who are the first in their families to go to college. The First Generation Scholarship Program has provided assistance to more than 750 students to attend UNF. The EverBank gift carries with it a preference to fund scholarships for students enrolled at The Bridge of Northeast Florida, a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of at-risk children. "The First Generation Scholarship program perfectly aligns with EverBank's community outreach philosophy," said Blake Wilson, president and CFO of EverBank Financial Corp. "It addresses a critical concern in our community by providing much-needed assistance to motivate young people who otherwise might not have had an opportunity to attend college."Wilson sits on the boards of the UNF Foundation and The Bridge and was able to bring the two organizations together. "We see both programs as a natural fit for each other. As young people move through The Bridge, we want to give them the added incentive to get a higher education. This is a tremendous opportunity to help break the generations of poverty and develop new leadership within the community," he said.Pierre Allaire, vice president for Institutional Advancement, said EverBank's commitment to the First Generation Scholarship program demonstrates how the public and private sectors can work together to benefit the community. "The corporate citizenship exhibited by EverBank is remarkable," he said. "This commitment is a major step in The Power of Transformation campaign and ultimately in our ability to transform the lives of our students."EverBank Financial Corp., and its EverBank subsidiaries, is a privately held thrift holding company headquartered in Jacksonville offering banking, lending, leasing and investment products.The gift by THE PLAYERS Championship is the latest in a series of philanthropic initiatives that have benefited UNF. "Over the years, THE PLAYERS Championship has demonstrated a commitment to education in general and UNF in particular which will pay dividends for generations of our students," Allaire noted.Jay Monahan, executive director of THE PLAYERS Championship, said the scholarship donation presents an opportunity to change lives. "The scholarship gives first generation students an opportunity for a world-class education while also giving us an opportunity to have a significant impact on the community since so many UNF graduates remain in the area to pursue careers."Monahan said the First Generation Scholarship program is a natural investment for THE PLAYERS because of the ever-growing relationship with UNF's students and its graduates. "UNF is part of the bedrock of this community and its students and alumni are an important part of THE PLAYERS," he said. "UNF graduates, today and in the future, comprise spectators who attend the annual tournament, leading business executives who are sponsors and the volunteers who make the event and our charitable outcome a reality each year." In addition to the First Generation Scholarship program, THE PLAYERS assisted in the establishment of the Osprey Hall of Fame, which entailed substantial renovations at the UNF Arena. The organization has also been involved in funding the First Tee program at the Hayt Golf Learning Center on campus. The donation to the First Generation Program means THE PLAYERS has donated more than $1 million to UNF, making it a member of the University's elite Founders Society. With THE PLAYERS Championship most recent gift, UNF has named the organization as the title sponsor for the annual scholarship luncheon, beginning in 2011.Proceeds from THE PLAYERS Championship benefit Northeast Florida charities. Since 1977, when THE PLAYERS Championship moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, more than $35 million has been contributed to Northeast Florida charities, including a record $4.15 million donation in 2009.The Power of Transformation campaign is a multi-year endeavor to raise $110 million to enhance the quality of education at UNF with a primary focus on raising additional funds for scholarship assistance. To date, the campaign has raised $69 million.
The UNF Women's Center presented the 2010 Susan B. Anthony Award to Dr. Dale Clifford, chair and associate professor of history, at the center's annual Women's History Month Luncheon March 2. The award is given annually by the Women's Center to an individual in the campus community who actively promotes women's growth at UNF, works to improve the position of women on campus through advocacy and education as well as exhibits qualities of leadership on campus.Upon accepting the award, Clifford called the ceremony "a good occasion to remind ourselves that the real American Dream isn't home ownership. The real American Dream – the real human dream – is equality and justice for all." She then called on those in attendance to continue to work for that dream.Clifford received seven separate award nominations from members of the UNF community, all of whom wrote passionately about her leadership, scholarship and mentorship.Dr. Berrin Beasley, a past recipient of the award, said that Clifford "embodies Susan B. Anthony's spirit by providing the female faculty and students at UNF with countless leadership examples. She is a highly respected scholar in the male-dominated field of academia and her experiences as such have placed her in a unique position to mentor the young women around her, which she does gladly without any expectation of recognition or reward."One of just five women professors in the College of Arts and Sciences when UNF opened in 1972, Clifford is – in the words of one nomination letter – a "mighty female force with which to be reckoned." She has served in numerous leadership positions at UNF, including Faculty Association president, interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and chair of the University-wide Council of Chairs. She is currently chair of the Department of History, the first woman to hold that position.Clifford is known particularly as a mentor, role model and advocate for women throughout the University. A number of faculty members from history and other departments cite Clifford's counsel and mentorship as a factor in their own success at UNF. In addition to mentoring individuals, she is an advocate for improved recognition and benefits for staff and has served on countless search committees in an effort to ensure that women and minority candidates receive full consideration for open faculty positions.Clifford also dedicates her talents to volunteer work outside of UNF, serving as a member of the Board of Directors of the Women's Center of Jacksonville and chair of the Grants Committee of the Women's Giving Alliance, a giving circle that makes grants to improve the lives of women and girls in Northeast Florida.
The JTA covered bus stop outside the Osprey Village residence hall recently received a creative facelift and now displays a decorative weaving inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night," courtesy of a team of art and design students enrolled in Jenny Hager-Vickery's Enlivened Spaces course.The project might be best described as a decorative weaving/stitch-work of one of Van Gogh's most recognizable paintings. The students spent more than 200 hours on the project, which involved weaving and stitching colored yarns through the perforated steel wall of the bus stop enclosure, creating an impressive likeness of "Starry Night" on the backside of the bus stop.In the class, students create projects that transform spaces. Hager-Vickery said rather than building an object (a more traditional sculpture model), the students create work that changes an environment or creates an experience. The Van Gogh Bus Stop is just one project from the class."This project adds a new, interesting and inviting colorful element to campus," Hager-Vickery said. "What's great about this type of art is that it's a surprise to see something that is mundane transformed into something that is interesting and beautiful. Your outlook on the day might change because you see it and it makes you smile. That's what art can do."Hager-Vickery said the students chose to create "Starry Night" because most people recognize it. "They instantly connect to it. It's an image people grow up knowing. Many people came out to talk to the students while they were working on it," she said.According to Hager-Vickery, the primary objective of the class is to inspire artwork that transforms and enhances an existing space. Other objectives include generating ideas, drawing up proposals, creating models and obtaining appropriate permission for installing and displaying the piece. In addition, other objectives include scaling up the work for the specific space for which it is designed, designing and agreeing upon a budget for the project, getting quotes, purchasing materials, building, installing and removing the project."One of the great things about the class is the collaborative energy. Students learn from the collective skills that everyone brings," she said. "It's also possible to create large-scale work because the students pool resources, money for supplies, time and ideas. Maybe you have a great idea that involves sound sampling, welding and sewing but you only know how to weld. Someone else knows how to sew and so on. By being part of a team, you naturally pick up skills from the process and you also gain confidence teaching your skills to the rest of the group."Hager-Vickery said she tries to encourage big ideas and help guide the students in producing them. "The students do all of the work necessary to create a project of this scale," she said. "My role is to create a schedule and mini-deadlines, to make sure the class is moving forward as planned, to generate discussions on budget, aesthetic, safety and structural decisions, and to make sure the group dynamic stays positive, productive and enthusiastic."So far this semester, students enrolled in Enlivened Spaces have created two projects: the bus stop and another project currently displayed in the Carpenter Library called "Office Space," which is created entirely from Scotch 3M packaging tape. The students are working on three other projects: a large-scale camera obscura, which is a Renaissance tool for drawing; a project using encouraging words (like "successful" and "beautiful") to be printed in parking spaces in Lots 14 and 18; and an installation work for the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra.Eight students taking the upper-level sculpture class this term (John Bell, Amanda Campbell, Amanda Ellis, Laura Etherton, Kourntey Gabik, Anna Helsin, Scott Mihalik and Anthony Rooney) participated in the Starry Night project, guided by Hager-Vickery, a UNF assistant professor of art and design. Scott Mihalik served as the student leader of the team.The students started the Van Gogh Bus Stop project in mid-February and completed it in March. The artwork was originally scheduled to be removed March 25, but Hager-Vickery said since the artwork is holding up well, she hopes it will remain in place through the end of the semester.
"Tradition Redefined: The Larry and Brenda Thompson Collection of African-American Art" will be on view Friday, April 23, through
Sunday, August 29, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, a cultural resource of UNF."Tradition Redefined" features 72 works by 67 artists at the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland, College Park. Larry and Brenda Thompson have amassed a remarkable collection of art by African-Americans from around the nation. The strength of the Thompson's collecting process lies in their considered attention to artists who have typically not been recognized in the traditional narratives of African-American art."The Thompsons have collected works by celebrated artists as well as artists who have been considered emerging, regional or lesser known artists," said Deborah Broder, director of MOCA Jacksonville. "The result is a collection that redefines the landscape of American art, offering a more in-depth, inclusive understanding of African-American artists and their aesthetic and social concerns."Curated by the Driskell Center's Curator-in-Residence, Dr. Adrienne L. Childs, "Tradition Redefined" presents the breadth of the Thompsons' art collection that spans from the 1890s to 2007. The exhibition features works by artists Amiri Baraka, Romare Bearden, Camille Billops, Joseph Delaney, Norman Lewis, Charles E. Porter, William T. Williams and Hale A. Woodruff, among others. Some artists from the Washington, D.C. area are among the exhibit, including David C. Driskell, Sam Gilliam, Evangeline J. Montgomery, Preston Sampson and Bill Taylor.For more information about this exhibit, contact MOCA Jacksonville at (904) 366-6911 or visit mocajacksonville.unf.edu.

What are you most passionate about? My personal involvement in music (which does not necessarily mean going to concerts).Who is the most famous person you ever met? Jimmy CarterTell us something about you that even your friends don't know.If there is something my friends don't know, I am certainly not going to tell everyone else.What do you hope to accomplish that you have not done yet?I hope that I will be up to the task of being an effective Faculty Association president for the next two years, after which it will be time to retire.What would you like to do when you retire?

In a perfect world, the success of your career would be based on your basic competence in doing your job. Dr. Paul Fadil, UNF management professor, explains how your career success may directly depend on your boss and how you manage your boss. Why is managing your boss critical for your career?Raises, promotions and evaluations in a perfect world would be rewarded strictly on job performance, and important assignments would be given only to those who perform at a high level. In theory, this is what we would all like to believe. In practice, many of these things directly depend on your boss and how you manage your boss. If he or she does not like you as a person or believe in you as a colleague, you will never land those critical assignments or get those excellent evaluations that it takes to get ahead. What is the difference between managing your boss and brown-nosing?Any kind of professional social interaction is usually a form of purposeful behavior, not luck or chance. There is an entire field of study that explores these interactions called impression management. When you interview for a job, you seek to manage the interviewer's impression of you by putting yourself in only the best light. The manager-subordinate relationship is very similar to this, and you should spend some time cultivating this very important relationship. When you were brought into the firm, an informal obligation fell upon you to get along with the person in charge of directing your activities, your boss. The key to developing this successful relationship will be the quality of the alliance you build with him or her. Think of the work and sacrifice it takes to make a marriage or any important relationship succeed. Your relationship with your boss, and the effort you put in to it to be successful, should be no different.What are some tips for managing your boss?You have to make sure that your boss is aware of what you are doing right. Build a personal as well as professional rapport. Figure out your boss' style and then react: For example, if your boss is a micro-manager, develop a detailed plan with many checkpoints where you can report back for feedback. Creatively and subtly show how your work links directly to your boss' success. Be a part of the solution, not the problem. Bosses like workers who solve their own problems. If you consistently add to your boss' workload, you won't be there long. Keep your problems off your boss' desk and you will become a "star" employee.What does a boss expect from his/her "star" employees?Accountability—You must be able to follow through on assignments and actually do what you say you are going to do. Trust—It's very important for the sustainability of any relationship, but especially with a manager. The trust also goes both ways here.Professionalism—Bosses value people who deeply care about what they do. Remember, your performance directly reflects on your boss and may move your boss up the ladder or may get him/her fired.Knowledge—Be good at what you do. You don't have to be good at everything, just focus on being the best at what you were hired to do.Are there people out there who could advance their careers without managing their bosses?Yes. But this truly takes a "Perfect Storm" of factors. Determining whether or not you have to manage your boss can be boiled down to three major variables: your achievement level; the objectivity of your performance outcomes; and a job that is directly attributable to your ability and effort. If you're one of the very best in your department, the outcome of your job is numbers-based or quantifiable, and there are no extenuating circumstances other than your ability and work ethic that contributes to your overall performance, then you are one of the lucky few who can advance without this type of activity. Unfortunately, most of us work in competitive fields and have jobs with subjective outcomes. In these types of environments, you would be amazed at how much the manager/subordinate relationship will affect your overall career.Every month, the column "Ask UNF" runs in Inside and The Florida Times-Union, promoting the expertise of UNF faculty and staff. If you have questions about this topic, contact Fadil at email@example.com.

- Location:
- Belmont, MA
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- My daughterâs bedroom has become a room full of her personality. We recently redesigned it together using colors and accessories she loves. We gutted her closet and made it a cloffice complete with a floating desk and a chalkboard wall, with has been quite the hit with young and old alike.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- Having an organized space was top priority for this bedroom. Creating the cloffice was a big part of this room. The open storage helps her stay neat and organized, eliminating the clutter. I wanted to give her a room she could grow with for years to come. Having my daughter help me in all aspects of the design makes her feel that this is really her own space.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- This bedroom has become a retreat for my 10 year old daughter in many ways. The large desk is a great place for art projects, homework and reading. It also becomes a great fort underneath with the simple addition of some sheets. A great place to hide from little brothers!

Collating the Coins
after Martin Gardner
five coins (three bigger and two smaller ones) as shown above
(top row).
The problem is to change their positions to those shown at the bottom
of the illustration in the shortest possible number of moves.
A move consists of placing the tips of the first and second fingers on
any two touching coins, always of the different sizes, then sliding
the pair to another spot along the imaginary line shown in the
illustration. The two coins in the pair must touch at all times. The
coin at left in the pair must remain at left; the coin at right must
remain at right. Gaps in the chain are allowed at the end of any move
except the final one. After the last move the coins need not
necessarily be at the same spot on the imaginary line that they
occupied at the start.

D.J. Hayden is officially playing football again.
The Oakland Raiders first-round draft pick started at right cornerback against the Chicago Bears on Friday night.
The Bears tested him early with passes to Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett and Brandon Marshall all headed Hayden's direction.
Jeffery and Bennett each hauled in passes for sizable gains but Hayden managed to break up a pass from Jay Cutler to Marshall that was nearly intercepted by defensive end Jason Hunter. He's got a tackle and a pass defensed through his first defensive series,
For someone who nearly died on the practice fields of the University of Houston because of an injury to his heart last November, it's a great sight to see.

The Atmosphere and Ocean: A Physical Introduction, 3rd Edition
The Atmosphere and Ocean: A Physical Introduction, 3rd Edition
ISBN: 978-0-470-69469-5 November 2011 424 Pages
Clearly structured throughout, the book demonstrates that the atmosphere and ocean are both subject to the influence of the earth's rotation and therefore they have a common dynamical basis. The author clearly demonstrates the fundamental differences between the two environments and provides the reader with a much better understanding of the atmosphere and the ocean and an appreciation of their closest interactive relationship. There have been many developments in the field over the past ten years and this latest edition of a highly successful textbook brings together new material on the ocean-atmosphere system and climate, the observed circulation of the atmosphere and ocean and radiation in the atmosphere and ocean.
- Fully revised and updated 3rd Edition of student friendly physical introduction to the atmosphere and ocean.
- Now includes new chapters on observed circulation of the atmosphere and ocean, energy flows in the ocean atmosphere system, modeling the ocean and atmosphere, the ocean atmosphere system and climate.
- Well structured and written in an authoritative yet accessible style suitable for 2nd and 3rd year students taking courses in meteorology, oceanography and related Earth Sciences or as an introduction for graduate students.
- Emphasis placed on physical properties and inter-dependence of the ocean and climate.
- Part of the RMetS (Royal Meteorological Society) book series, Advancing Weather and Climate Science

The newest from StitchLondon; a book launch and a pigeon:
I will be looking for this book, and probably making a pigeon or two
myself. So cute, and probably not so messy! Proceeds from sales of the new book will go cancer research.
Actually, if I lived in London, I would join the StitchLondon knitting group. It sounds like a lot of wild and woolly fun.
Speaking of wild and woolly fun, it must be time for me to start working on a knit graffiti piece for Calgary. Its been a while since I put up anything locally. Hmmmm, what will it be?
What I have been doing is a lot of knitting, just not graffiti. Have you heard of the beekeeper's quilt from TinyOwlKnits? Its wonderfully addictive. Watch at your own risk.

Here are pictures of my growing pile of hexipuffs: (as you can now see, they like to get out and have fun!)

The only way I've gotten it to work is by removing the Fault declarations. While the service.download is working I haven't satisfied myself that the wsdl I'm using is really correct. I posted it to a reply to alex73 so if anyone more knowledgeable could take a look it would be greatly appreciated!
I don't think the parsers are failing. I think the Fault object that's being referenced needs to be created in the wsdl or an include. I started to do that, but trying to create a fault against the working system is harder. I ran out of time that day and never got back to it.
Also, I thought that SOAPFault was implicit so I *think* it will work fine without.

Mortgage rates are at record lows, but they could be even lower.
Several reportsrecently have documented why the spreads between mortgage bonds and mortgage rates have widened so much, but few have agreed as to why mortgage rates have not fallen lower, given the Federal Reserve's latest announcementthat it would buy more agency mortgage backed securities.
The mortgage lending landscape has changed dramatically since the financial meltdown of 2008, with some ramping up volume and others exiting the business. Wells Fargo mortgage origination was up a whopping 72 percent in the first half of this year from the same time a year ago, according to Inside Mortgage Finance. Bank of America originations were down 65 percent. Underwriting is tight, and lenders make no apologies, but mortgage banking profits are also way up, and lenders make no apologies for that either.

Post-graduate business schools are beefing up their efforts to prepare students to start and run their own business, new research shows.
The study by the MBA Roundtable, a global association of business schools, revealed that because interest in becoming an entrepreneur is projected to grow, more management education programs are using an increasingly wide variety of approaches to teach entrepreneurialism.
Specifically, the entrepreneurship programs studied use a mix of experience-based and traditional classroom learning. More than 90 percent of the programs use at least some experiential learning, while only 9 percent are exclusively classroom-based, the study found.
Additionally, the programs analyzed emphasize soft skills — such as communication, team building and sales-pitch development/delivery — more than what is typical for most other MBA focus areas.
"Entrepreneurship education has become an engine for growth within MBA programs," said Sarah Gardial, president of the MBA Roundtable and dean of the University of Iowa's Henry B. Tippie College of Business.
The research shows that entrepreneurship programs rely heavily on faculty and practicing entrepreneurs to mentor students in developing skills sets, such as opportunity recognition, market testing, iteration and venture launch. They also engage in cross-university, multidisciplinary partnerships, especially in disciplines in which students may one day be involved in consulting or startup businesses, such as engineering, life sciences, law and medicine.
The study discovered that the MBA programs are expanding their curriculum to reflect a wide range of situations that could benefit from entrepreneurship. Topics such as technology commercialization, intrapreneurship/corporate entrepreneurship, managing growth and social entrepreneurship are included in more than 45 percent of the programs studied, which has led many grads to find work in executive positions in early-stage startup companies.
Overall, 60 percent of the entrepreneurship programs expect increased participation in the next three years. In order to support the growth, the programs studied plan to increase their use of incubators, add concentrations and/or new certificates, and expand their use of cross-disciplinary initiatives.
The study — sponsored, in part, by the University of Virginia Darden School of Business' Batten Institute, the University of Louisville's Forcht Center for Entrepreneurship, and the University of Texas at Austin's Herb Kelleher Center for Entrepreneurship — was based on surveys of 137 full-time, part-time and executive MBA programs.

OSWEGO, NY – Oswego Speedway's 2014 Novelis Supermodified racing season is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated in several years, with no fewer than ten brand new racing machines scheduled to hit the 'Steel Palace' this spring.
Among those drivers looking to debut brand new creations is third generation racing driver Michael Muldoon and former International Classic champion Tim Snyder.
Muldoon, son of 3-time Oswego track champion and 1995 Budweiser International Classic champion Mike Muldoon, will enter his fourth season of Supermodified racing at the Speedway this year and is excited at the possibilities of his team's newly designed Muldoon chassis.
"This car is totally different than the last three we have built," said young Muldoon, a mechanical engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technology. "We have lowered the roll cage about four or five inches, I have designed my own tail wing for the back of the car, and we have tipped the engine over quite a ways. That will be what most people notice. We're going to have to adjust to the changes, but we know we are going to be able to get more air now to the rear wing."
Muldoon says that his father's same suspension design will be used on their Supermodified, utilizing a four-bar torsion bar system, meaning that nearly all changes for this year's design are to assist the car's aerodynamics.
Something Muldoon says is now a basic necessity.
"Personally, I believe the cars handle better without the tail wing," said Muldoon. "But when you are out there with 23 other cars that have a tail wing, we knew we would have to make it work eventually. With the rear tail wing you can go into the corner so much harder, but the car does not rotate through the center of the corner as well. Unless you want to get blown by going into the corners, you need to have the rear wing."
Voted as Oswego Speedway's Most Improved Supermodified driver of the 2013 season, Muldoon is confident in his new ride and has set this season's goals accordingly.
"My main goal is to finish every race," said Muldoon. "I have learned that you need to take what the car gives you. If you finish races at Oswego your results will come, I went into last year with a different mindset and we only had two DNFs. I would like to pick up my first win this season, get my Top 5's and Top 10's, and have a race car that has the speed to time trial well."
Muldoon finished 2013 8th in the overall driver standings with two Top 5 runs and a total of seven Top 10 finishes.
Tim Snyder is not looking to pick up his first career win at Oswego Speedway, rather returning to the form he grew accustom to at the 'Steel Palace' a handful of years ago.
Snyder stormed onto the Oswego scene in 2001 earning his first career victory in Oswego's marquee event, the Budweiser International Classic 200.
In the year's following Snyder became a regular in Oswego's victory lane, including the 2005 season behind the wheel of his first Hawk chassis Supermodified.
After racking up five Top 5 point finishes in seven years from 2002-2009, and his most recent trip to victory lane on August 22, 2009, Snyder has been searching for the set-up needed to return to the winner's circle.
After finishing 11th in the driver standings in 2013 with just one Top 5 finish, Snyder and team decided to return full tilt to the Hawk chassis shop for 2014.
"We are going to have a new Hawk chassis at Oswego for the non-wing opener," said Snyder. "Joey (Hawksby) still has the car as of right now; we are only waiting on fuel cells and shocks at this point. Won't be much longer and we will be able to take the car, put the engine in it and plumb it."
Snyder says that his car and all of the cars coming out of the Hawk shop this season will be the latest Hawksby design.
"Our car will be the latest design," said Snyder. "Similar to the cars seen last year from Brian Sweeney and Bob Bond. We are going to go back to red this year, with most of our returning sponsors. I'm looking forward to the consistency we have had in the past with this new chassis. We have struggled in recent years to get our cars to repeat."
Kids 16 and under will again be admitted free at all Speedway events in 2014 with the exception of Budweiser International Classic Weekend August 29-31 and Race of Champions/Championship Weekend September 12-14.
On track activity beings at Oswego Speedway on April 26 with the annual open test session for all racing divisions.
Testing will run from 1-5 p.m. on April 26 and is free for spectators to sit in the main grandstand.
Racing action at the Speedway begins on May 3 with the 64th annual Gater Racing News Opening Night featuring the Shea Concrete 'Steel Palace' ISMA Super Series 'Irish' Jack Murphy Memorial 56 and the opening round of the Pathfinder Bank SBS Road to the Championship.
The Speedway's flagship non-wing Novelis Supermodified division will kick-off its 53rd consecutive season of racing at the Home of Supermodifieds on May 10th presented by Mitchell's Speedway Press and Planet Fitness of Oswego.
Nearly 30 Novelis Supermodifieds are expected in be in action including defending champion Otto Sitterly and Indianapolis 500 veterans Joe Gosek and Davey Hamilton.

MEDWAY, MA -- Cybex International reported a third quarter loss of $15,000 with a net sales increase of $0.2 million, according to financials released yesterday by the company.
The Medway, MA-based company had $29.2 million in sales during the quarter compared to $29 million in sales during third quarter 2009, but third quarter 2010 had a $15,000 loss while third quarter 2009 had a profit of $81,000.
John Aglialoro, CEO of Cybex, attributed this quarter's loss to investments the company has made in marketing, sales and new products. He said that he expects those investments to result in higher future sales as the company penetrates new markets. Aglialoro has stated in the past that Cybex is targeting the university, military, police and fire markets at a greater level than in the past.
Aglialoro and Arthur Hicks, CFO, indicated that perhaps the U.S. market was seeing a bit of an uptick, as North American sales were up 4 percent while international sales were down 5 percent.
"The trend seems to be that clubs are being forced to make replacements for equipment for their clubs," Aglialoro said in a conference call with analysts yesterday. "That's a welcome sign."
However, he noted that funding continues to be difficult for small companies, although he is seeing some companies stepping up to finance these small organizations.
Cardio sales for the company were $15.9 million, down 3 percent from the prior year, Hicks said in the call. Arc Trainer sales, which made up about $7 million of the cardio sales, were up slightly. Strength sales were $10.2 million, an increase of about 1 percent.
Hicks said that because club owners typically replace strength equipment every five to seven years, it's the easiest category to defer purchasing. He wouldn't speculate on whether the increase in strength sales meant club owners are deferring less or whether it was a statistical blimp.
"The third quarter of 2010 continued the stabilizing trend of Q2 with sales slightly higher than Q3 2009 and gross margins improving from both Q2 2010 and 2009 levels," Aglialoro said.
For the nine months ended Sept. 25, 2010, net sales were $83 million compared to $85.7 million for the same period in 2009. The net loss for the first nine months of 2010 was $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $3.4 million for 2009.
