Reading Beyond the Ending of Native History:
The Nez Perce Allotment
(The written & visual records of Alice C. Fletcher & E. Jane Gay)
Saturday, January 17, 2015 from 1:30 to 3:30PM
Free and Open to the Public
Room 111A, Chancellor's Complex, UCSD Campus
Free Parking in the Gilman Parking Structure
Dr. Nicole Tonkovich, Professor of Literature at UCSD, and expert on 19th century American women in literature and visual arts, will talk about the allotment of lands in severalty to the Nez Perce, and the role of Alice C. Fletcher and E. Jane Gay.
"Although most Americans are familiar with the iconic figure of Chief Joseph, few can accurately identify his tribal affiliation. Fewer still know what happened to him and his people after he signed a cessation of hostilities agreement with General O. O. Miles in 1877. In my talk, I will outline the challenges of writing about the period that followed the Joseph War. Assuming that Natives would soon be utterly defeated, federal reformers helped design a policy designed to assimilate Indians by separating them from the land base that had defined their sovereign status. Joseph's tribe, the Nez Perce, was among the first to be subjected to this legislation."
"So confident was the government that this policy would not be violently resisted that they charged a middle-aged woman, Alice C. Fletcher, to oversee the surveying, division, and deeding of lands on the Nez Perce Reservation in northwestern Idaho. Her companion, the photographer E. Jane Gay, made more than 250 images of Fletcher's work among the Nez Perce. The written and visual records they left have become a crucial means of documenting this transitional period in Native history and show--perhaps inadvertently--the powerful, if peaceful and highly effective, resistances to their work by the Nez Perce with whom they worked."
Dr. Tonkovich has written and edited five books, including, most recently "The Allotment Plot: Alice C. Fletcher and E. Jane Gay, and Nez Perce Survivance," which is the inspiration for her SDIS talk. Among her honors, Dr. Tonkovich received the UCSD Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award in 2013.

President's Notes
In 1991, the Board of San Diego Independent Scholars created the Helen Hawkins Memorial Research Fund in memory of Helen Hawkins, a highly valued SDIS member with far-reaching abilities and achievements. Born in 1930, she died in 1989 after a six-year battle with cancer. Helen's life reveals a wide-range of intellectual, creative interests and accomplishments: post-high school study of choral music at Tanglewood; undergraduate study of international economics at Oxford University; bachelors degree in US history, summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa.
She was co-founder and first president of the San Diego chapter of the National Organization for Women, and received the Susan B. Anthony Award. While completing her graduate work in History, PhD, UCSD, 1975, Hawkins worked as a Research Associate on the Leo Szilard Papers, prepared manuscript versions of a Szilard book, co-edited with G. Allen Greb and Gertrude Weiss Szilard. She became affiliated with the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, UCSD, with assignments such as correspondence with MIT Press regarding the Szilard manuscript.
Subsequently, Hawkins worked in the Humanities Office of KPBS Public Television, SD, late 1970s - early 1980s. In that capacity, Helen produced and appeared in over 100 programs on topics such as "rights", politics, arts, philosophy, and current affairs. Video recordings of her KPBS programs are a treasure trove, including interviews with James Burke, Christo, Herbert Marcuse, Abram Sachar, Tom Stoppard, Herbert York, Bella Abzug, Ramsey Clark, Max Lerner, Rodolfo Stavenhagen. She led discussion programs on California Rights, immigration, Press Power, Prop. 13, archeologists and land developers. Her production, "California Rights," won a San Diego Emmy Award, 1982, and a Silver Gavel Award from the American Bar Association. In retrospect, Helen seems like a forerunner of our current radio PBS host, Terry Gross, and a continuing inspiration to SDIS and its members.
But, in what way is this manifest? Specifically, how does Helen Hawkins affect SDIS and its members? One way is through her exemplar participation in SDIS Program Meetings, e.g., delivering a talk "Looking for Leo: Editing Leo Szilard's Papers," January, 1988. More critically, Helen is credited with conducting the research and preparing the application for achieving not-for-profit incorporation for SDIS, beginning in 1983.
Helen's endorsement of the goals of independent scholarship is clearly evident in her August 1982 SDIS statement in the Tenth Anniversary pamphlet: "I am interested in joining San Diego Independent Scholars because I believe it necessary to provide to each other a constructively critical support group, liaison with the academy, and to share their work with the public". Once SDIS established the Helen Hawkins Memorial Research Fund, it was sizably enhanced by generous contributions donated by her husband, William M. Hawkins, in her honor. Donations to the Fund continue to be made by SDIS members on their SDIS renewal forms and other occasions.
The Helen Hawkins Memorial Research Fund serves as a stimulus and incentive to enterprising scholars, artists, and organizational leaders. It reminds us of the excitement of discovery, the culmination of work and effort in concrete accomplishments, abstract ideas, and communicating with others. It is a way of joining a group of scholars and investing in the "life of the mind."
It is appropriate that SDIS starts the grant application process for the Helen Hawkins Memorial Research Fund (HHMRF) at the beginning of the New Year. Its purpose is to provide funds to support scholarly research and creativity. SDIS members who have belonged to SDIS for a minimum of one year and who are engaged in interesting work are eligible to apply for an award. However, neither SDIS officers, nor members of the Award Committee, or full-time post-secondary teaching faculty are eligible to apply. Grant approval is based upon the merit of the proposal and the qualifications of the applicant to complete the proposal.
If you are considering the possibility of applying, please let me know and I will send you important information about eligibility and the application procedure at the start of 2015. All applications must be submitted to me by February 28, 2015. Awardees are notified by letter of the results by May 1, 2015. At the SDIS May General Meeting, the awardee provides a brief summary of the intended project, and at the next May General Meeting, following year, the awardee presents a talk that summarizes the goals, findings, and outcome of the award winning project.
Please think about this and let me know as soon as you can if you may be interested in applying. I will be glad to answer questions you may have about the application process.

Colloquy Café
Our December topic was "contrition," a difficult word to define since there are so many meanings attached to it. Feeling sorry isn't quite the same thing as being "contrite." In the Catholic church, one says the prayer of contrition in the confession booth, but most people don't associate religion or God with contrition but see it, instead, as a remorseful feeling for having offended someone. Nonetheless, the seven deadly sins do not describe behavior most people see as something one should atone for. Aside from its religious meanings, contrition, if honest, is something we feel when we genuinely feel sorry for having hurt another person. Our January meeting will be on the 21st at 1:30 when we'll be discussing "revenge."
Culture One
At its October 29, 2014 meeting, Culture One decided to focus its study of "Human Evolution and Development" on resources provided by CARTA (Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny). CARTA is a virtual organization established by UCSD and Salk Institute to "explore and explain the origins of the human phenomenon." The distinctive feature of CARTA is its ability to investigate, stimulate, and communicate the interconnectedness of the components of "Human Culture". It spans the areas, methods, and intersections of multiple disciplines including genetics, anatomy, neuroscience, ecology, paleontology, anthropology, geology, developmental, social, and behavioral fields. Fortunately, most of the abstracts of CARTA talks are well written and lend themselves to small group discussions. Similarly, the live presentations at Symposia and their online videos are usually viewer friendly and conducive to shared viewing.
Accordingly, CULTURE ONE is coordinating its study group activities -- readings, discussions, videos, and symposia -- with the recent CARTA Symposium: "Domestication and Human Evolution" (October 10, 2014). We began by reviewing the Domestication Symposium: individually reading its online abstracts during November, 2014; discussing the online abstracts and sampling the video symposia talks at our December 3, 2014 discussion meeting; and selectively reviewing individually chosen video talks at our December 10, 2014 group meeting.
This approach resulted in our gaining a better understanding of the individual talks, their inter-relation, and the role of self-domestication in human evolution in which human self-domestication is often accompanied by impressive changes in anatomy, brain structures, selective breeding, and aggression (i.e., an unusual suite of traits not found in the natural forebears).
Thus, we are seriously considering applying this approach to the next two CARTA Symposia: "How Language Evolves" (February 20, 2015); and "Human-Climate Interactions and Evolution, Past and Future" (May 15, 2015) in which abstracts of the talks are initially studied individually, followed by attending and/or viewing the online videos of the talks, and concerted efforts to use the live and/or online videos to clarify the results and implications of the symposium's program.
In addition, we wish to share our work on "Domestication and Human Evolution" with former members of CULTURE ONE and others interested in our coordination of Culture One and CARTA programs. Thus, we are planning a demonstration of our work on "Domestication" in an Open Meeting, Wednesday, January 28, 2015, 2:00 - 4:00 PM. As background material, we encourage those who wish to attend this meeting to read Gibbon's summary of the Domestication symposium that appeared in Science magazine.

For questions on Culture One's research plans, please contact Sue R. Rosner, e-mail email@example.com; for information regarding meeting arrangements, please contact Bea Rose, e-mail, email@example.com.
Culture Two
The Culture Two Study Group's first meeting of the new year on Friday January 23 is a return to our schedule of "fourth Friday of the month" meetings. The background reading for the meeting is the first three chapters (Dreams, Ambition, Pride) of "India Calling ( An Intimate Portrait Of A Nation's Remaking)" by Anand Giridharadas, who also writes the "Currents" Column for the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times Online. For further information about the Culture Two Study Group please contact Sam Gusman at email@example.com.
Film Group
The Film Group will meet Wednesday, January 7 at 10:00 a.m. at the home of Barbara Heckler to view the 2006 German drama Vier Minuten. Four Minutes isa story about a piano teacher who discovers talent in a women's prison. Contact Barbara at firstname.lastname@example.com for information about attending.
Literature Group
The SDIS literary group is meeting on Friday, January 16th, at La Costa Glen at 10:30 a.m. We will be reading Peter Carey's Booker award winning, "True History of the Kelly Gang," about the legendary Ned Kelly, an Australian folk hero and outlaw. Gerry Horwitz, a regular traveler to Australia, will be leading the discussion. Betty Cortus, who was born and raised in Australia, will be the host. Bring your own lunch; Betty will provide dessert. Please call Betty if you need directions.
Neuroscience Group
The next meeting of the Neuroscience Study group is scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2015 at 3 pm at the home of Bea Rose. Our assigned readings are Chapters 4 and 5 of Damasio's book, Self Comes to Mind". Visitors are welcome but it would be best to call Bea if you wish to visit. Space is at a premium. Please note change of day from Monday to Thursday.

All SDIS members and persons interested in joining SDIS are welcome.
In Memoriam
Stephen Tamor, Executive Vice President of SDIS, passed away on November 26, 2014. He will be missed by his family, his associates within SDIS and his many other friends.
Steve was born on November 29, 1925 in New York City (Bronx). After attending Salanter Yeshiva, at age 12 he entered Townsend Harris High School from which he graduated at the age of 15. Three years later, at the age of 18 he completed his undergraduate studies at City College of New York, majoring in physics. He served in the Navy toward the end of WWII and then continued his academic studies at the University of Rochester, receiving his Ph.D. in physics at the age of 23.
This was followed by a work career at several locations: at Oak Ridge National Labs in Tennessee, then at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, then at the General Electric Research Lab near Schenectady, NY. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship to work at the Laboratori dei Gas Ionizzati in Frascati, Italy after which his career at General Electric continued at the Space Sciences Labs in King of Prussia, PA. In 1971 he moved to La Jolla and joined a new start-up Science Applications Incorporated.
Steve met his wife, the late Jeanne Cohen Tamor, while both were students at the University of Rochester, he in physics and she in embryology. Jeanne and Steve had four children and four grandchildren.
Their daughter Lynne has written to us about some of her parents' interests and activities. "During our years in Schenectady, both my parents were very active in the Schenectady Museum and he served on the board for several years. He also took a strong interest in his children's educations, periodically embarrassing them by spending a day observing their classes... During that same period, he and his wife were founding members of the Capital District Friends of SNCC organization, which provided support to the black students at the forefront of the civil rights movement... After his retirement, Steve enjoyed tutoring foreign students in the mathematics they needed to pursue graduate degrees in the sciences at UCSD. Later, he became an active participant in OSHER and SDIS."
It is only in his final years that SDIS became a part of Steve's life. Within SDIS we have known Steve for his engaging personality, his warmth, his friendship, his intellect, and his insightful way of listening as a prelude to asking relevant and usefully to-the-point questions. He will be sorely missed.

Sonshine Day!
The Son has been a sour lad of late, partly because of the usual political bullshit, and partly because I've spent the week fighting off some low-level virus, flu, exhaustion, whatever it was, plus performing blue collar labor on top of it.
But today, I feel so much better, thank you, and I don't want to waste this good feeling on harsh opinions. Instead, the Son is all about the love, the sharing, the smiling in the face of hatred, fear, and contempt, the daisy in life's rifle barrel.
The boy's been writing up a storm of late -- mysteries, historical essays, and most impressively, poems. Here's one he composed this week.
Haunted Mansion
The neighbors, a ghost in his mansion.
I know it!
The dogs are Zombies!
The cats are vampires!
The tv's a mummy!
The books are ghosts!
The statues are alive!
The birds are skeletons!
I must be brave!
So I can borrow a cup of coffee.
Of all of the boy's creative work of this period, the above is definitely a keeper.
Upon reading this, I was reminded of a Michael O'Donoghue poem that appeared in the Evergreen Review in 1965.
The Untimely Demise of Madame X
"Shot in Her Box at the Opera"
. . .to Benjamin Peret, 1928.
My airplane is burning.
My formal gardens cross their legs.
Negroes have eaten up my sister.
My mother have been revoked.
Gypsies stole my father,
Repainted him,
And sold him across the border.
My wife is a sailor.
My wolves are housebroken.
My cat is a dog.
The goldfish drowned.
Emery dust in my monorail.
My arsenal is doves.
My caprice is annotated.
The bathtub tried to bite me
And did.
Hunchbacks gave me money.
My screams are dead snowflakes
Falling on dead people
Making them feel all warm and loved.
While the boy (thankfully) lacks O'D's fascination with death, there are similarities in cadence and image. And the boy's only 10. O'D was in his mid-20s when he wrote the above. I like the kid's artistic chances.
The wife showed me the following clip this morning, which helped to sharpen my Sonny outlook:
But for me, few could top Bugaloo Caroline Ellis, who made many of my Saturday mornings most delightful.
Have a happy weekend, Sonsters! And remember: take only what you need, and know your dealer.

Finding a decent podcast is a challenge. There's no shortage of them regardless of what topic you're looking for.
Ever Since GE Podcast Theater released The Message and LifeAfter, I've been on a fictional podcast kick.
Like other categories, fiction or docudrama is crowded with shows that aren't worth your time. But there are diamonds out there.
I binge-listened to two seasons of a "docudrama" show called The Black Tapes.
From Pacific Northwest Stories, The Black Tapes mimics Serial from the format and production to the host's name "Alex."
Mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery. But after binging 24 episodes over the past few days, the results are a mixed bag.
Each episode puts forth two stories. One is over at the end of the show while the other builds an overarching narrative.
The short stories follow an investigation into an unsolved supernatural case. Spoiler: These cases are never resolved. Some end, while others are open-ended and revisited in future episodes.
The longer story focuses on a relationship between the show's host, Alex Reagan, and ghost story debunker Dr. Richard Strand.
Being a journalist, Alex asks a multitude of questions about Strand's past. He's uncomfortable answering them as he doesn't want to talk about his past.
These conflicts drive wedges between the two at times and end in the same result. Strand stops talking with Regan for an episode or two but always returns.
As the episodes go on, their main story incorporates small aspects from the paranormal investigations. For example, near the end of season two, there are cave paintings and demonic symbology that are callbacks to the first few episodes in season one.
That said, The Black Tapes is an entertaining podcast.
The easiest way to describe the show is if the X-Files was in an audio format. But unlike X-Files, this show focuses on the paranormal and unraveling one conspiracy. No aliens. No shadow government organization. And no "will they or won't they" chemistry between Strand and Reagan.
The episodes are short and digestible, ranging in run time between 30 and 45 minutes each. It's a good length for a work commute or finishing errands around the house.
There is one issue that rears it's head many times during both seasons. Depending on your tolerance, it may be an absolute deal breaker.
Let me say this first. I don't act. I don't write scripts and I can't direct my way out of a wet paper bag.
But, by god, there are moments where the dialogue is bad.
As I mentioned earlier, The Black Tapes mimics Serial as close as possible. The majority of episodes focus on the host's interviews with Strand and various other characters.
But at times, the dialogue is choppy and unnatural. I would guess the actors are reading from a script at different times. There's no chemistry between and the conversation sounds cold and robotic.
I would love to say this issue was resolved in the first season as they were finding their creative groove. But I can't. It rears its head through both seasons. Effectively jerking the reader out of the world the show has created.
Again, you might be able to overlook this problem. That's up to you. Your ears and your time.
I'll be giving The Black Tapes a listen for another season. But it isn't dethroning The Message or LifeAfter anytime soon.

dangers, drunk driving, internet, parents
We've discussed repeatedly how the press has freaked people out over the greatly overhyped threats of online risks to children. And, not surprisingly, those stories have had an impact. Adam Thierer points us to a Larry Magid column where he's discussing a recent survey that shows many parents are more worried about online threats to their kids than they are about the threat of drunk driving or drugs. Magid points out how silly this is, and how low the real risk is to kids surfing the internet. He's the latest mainstream press columnist to realize how much the mainstream press has overplayed this threat for years. It's just too bad that it's taken this long for everyone to realize the threat online isn't nearly as big as it has been made out to be.

The Scared Mommies strike againLuckily with the Republicans plunging us into "the Bush Depression", soon the Scared Mommies may have "real" things to worry about and can stop trying to get the rest of the world to conform to some Fisher Price ideal of child-safe they have. Protect your own kids people, they mean next to nothing to me.

Re: Re: The Scared Mommies strike againI think by Bush depression he means the economic correction that our country is bound to see after 6 years of war, and 8 years of tax cuts for the rich. See, if you borrow a bunch of money to pay for a war, people will want it back eventually.
jonnyq, 4 Nov 2008 @ 2:39pm
Re: Re: Re: The Scared Mommies strike againI hate threadjacking as much as the next guy...
But those tax cuts helped the economy and /boosted/ federal revenue.
It's the spending that's the problem. I'm not going to argue about the price of war, but that's not even the main place where spending is out of control. The reasons for the economic downturn lie elsewhere. (Though it's easy to see how you could be confused into thinking the tax cuts are related to the downturn, it's just not true)

Mob Think" It's just too bad that it's taken this long for everyone to realize the threat online isn't nearly as big as it has been made out to be."
It hasnt taken anyone "this long", its just ceased to be as profitable to write these stories I would guess. If a journalist did a story on how scary the internet is, he would jsut be trying to sell one of a million similar stories to outlets that have already run trillions of them. Now he decides to do a story about how the internet isnt really that bad . . . well thats a new take, easier to sell.

Bah!If you really cared for the earth you'd
eat more babies.
But seriously, am I really to believe that parents
think the internet is more dangerous to their children
than drunk driving? It's view so remarkably stupid in
light of the statistics as to be mind numbing.
It's the sort of news article that threatens to suffocate
that little ember of hope for a better future.
mobiGeek, 4 Nov 2008 @ 12:56pm
Re: Bah!Headlines rarely quote statistics. And most people don't read past the headline, the opening paragraph and the associated image.
Bury the stats towards the end of the story, you might as well not both having them.
Then there is statistics comprehension, or the fundamental lack thereof.
Anonymous Coward, 4 Nov 2008 @ 1:31pmWhile the proliferation of Social Networking Sites allow people to connect with friends, and family members, some people are using the candid remarks to an extreme. This includes drinking and driving.
But equally amazing is that their works seem to preclude any need to re-fill the current Social Security Trust Fund as it's amazingly deflated by our current administration.
Let me ask one question: Have you seen a recent M3 chart based on Fed Data?
Sometimes I wonder if collectively myself and the other brothers and sisters will be able to re-fill the SS Trust fund for our parents, or do we just say forget the government programs and do it ourselves.
Another friend, whom I am quite happy for, is considering moving to Turkey to do some crazy bomb manufacturing under a McCain administration. Now, I was brought in to a fancy company to find out how to make bombs faster and more efficiency. This was all very interesting to me because another college friend of mine was looking at how to make the US DoD ordering process more efficient.
Other friends were interested in making mortgages go through, even if it meant paying an appraiser to make the house worth 10 or 40k more than it actually was worth. (Hilarious Stories, BTW.)
But all of this seems to prelude parental usage of overhyped users of internet as they attempt to tie it into online treats for kids, be it Drugs or Drunk Driving.
Don't get me wrong: NeoCon methodologies work well if you remove variability. However, considering that the US's foundation is based on variability, and creative thinking, our financial system shouldn't be based on a system of absolutes.
No one is going to be able to pay their bills 100% on time.
For shit sake, Let your kids be kids. They probably know more than you do. Give your kids a little room, as they will be the ones trying to fill the Social Security Trust fund as you are retiring. Give them a little room as they explore the world. It was quite sad when a college friend with direct lineage to Lewis & Clark was afraid to leave the apartment to go and explore, even though I said:
"8-10 is yours. Just go and leave: my only ask is that you bring me a receipt that you've been somewhere. I'll pay you $17 an hour for which you are YOU. GO. BE. HAVE FUN. I don't care! Your fucking Great Grandfather has his name all over the Louisiana Purchase. Tap into that."
They never left. They never were curious. Good Job, NeoCons.
Overall, we're going to need some creative solutions as we watch the world evolve.

Only in AmericaThe fear of the internet in this particular way is mainly an American (maybe North American) phenomenon.
I have it on good authority that youngsters in the UK play a game called "pass the pedo". The kids over there apparently recognize the deception and don't fall for it.
What is different there? Certainly not a less inflamatory press. Perhaps more critical thinking is taught earlier?
David, 4 Nov 2008 @ 2:12pmIt would be nice if Bill Gates thought Education Secretary was a good spot. But I digress. Warren is a good guy.

Anonymous Coward, 4 Nov 2008 @ 2:15pmPeople fear what they don't understand.
Anonymous Coward, 4 Nov 2008 @ 2:22pmI'm a parent, and I'm more "worried about online threats to [my] kids than [I am] about the threat of drunk driving or drugs."
I'm worried because I don't know enough about them. Drunk driving, and drugs. I understand what those risks are, I know ways to keep my kids from them. It's not that it isn't a concern, I just do what I can and don't worry.
Online threat? Even the term is vague. Are we talking about someone threatening my kids online, or just the fact that they are online is a threat? Does this include identity theft, voyeurism, child porn and other terrible things?
I live in a rural enough area that the chance of someone offering my kids drugs or getting hit by a drunk driver is low (highest would be once a month). However just today there are several spam e-mails in my inbox which are not something I would want to see, let alone my kids.
I'm not saying the Internet is "bad," but I think it is wishful thinking to think it is "safe." The more people you connect with, the greater the risk (and the greater the reward).
As my kids are very trusting, they are also easy prey. For this reason I worry.

"delivering porn and bomb recipies into the hands of children"Today is guy-fawkes in NZ (kinda like July 4th in the USA) and last night my kids showed me how you can tape up a bundle of sparklers together and make a huge bang. Apparently they read how to do this on the internet. I'm not sure if I should be concerned about their safety or impressed with their research skills.

surprised?Parents are like governments. They like ultimate power and control. They fear free thought. They don't tolerate questioning. They provide illusions of rights rather than rights. Is it any surprise they fear the Internet?

Beta, 4 Nov 2008 @ 3:40pm
How about all of these together?How about Drugs, Drunk Driving while browsing the Internet, that'd be really dangerous.
I think parents see how much the Internet costs particularly if you're browsing from home and they think spending all the time (therefore money) on it is a bad idea. IMO, it could keep you away from Drunk Driving and Drugs as much as anything else.
Drugs and Alcohol costs are funneled differently and parents get paranoid only when they learn about it. It's just protectionist fear.

aliasalpha, 5 Nov 2008 @ 8:42pmthe poll is probably one of the poorly worded ones that creates too much ambiguity. They probably think that their child is smart enough to not drink & drive or do drugs and so prioritise that lower because of their faith in their kids.

Predator PanicThanks for linking to my article but I'm not the "latest" mainstream journalist to point out that predator danger is way overhyped. I've been saying that for years. In fact, there's a chapter largely devoted to the topic in a book I co-write 2 years ago called MySpace Unraveled. You can find plenty of stories where I've been saying this on my site pcanswer.com and in the PCAnswer area of CBSNews.com.

Aesthetic Nutrition
Blog post
Published: 15.07.2010
Broes van Iterson
How does nutrition, on a socio-economic level and in its' most basic form, relate to the aesthetic values of today's society? This question can only come from Ana Cardim, who has a passion to make interactive, sociable jewelry-art. This takes shape in her recent project "Aesthetic Nutrition".
The project consists of a video, projected on a wall, three heaps of rice, chopsticks and three bowls containing one, two and three hand-made rice grains. Each grain is made from pure gold, weighs half a gram, and has the economic value of about 15 kilos of eatable dry rice. (How many grains would that be?) In total, the project exists of three grams of gold, enough for a beautiful gold ring, and 90 kilo's of rice, which can provide a meal for 1800 people! In the video you'll see a girl trying to eat it all… Everyone that visited 'Aesthetic Nutrition' was given a cup filled with delicious rice-pudding.
With her project 'Aesthetic Nutrition', Ana Cardim seeks attention for the idea of the difference in quantity, and levels of value, between the esthetic value of gold and the value given to the basic human need for food.
I am glad this project touches the subject of discrepancy in value and quantity from an aesthetic point of view. The rice-colored, ceramic bowls that contain the golden grains, are shaped like up-side-down rice heaps and make a good visual contrast with the actual heaps of rice. The chopsticks both separate and connect the two, underlining the visual link. The video shown on the wall, completes the display. The action of handing out cups of rice-pudding causes the viewer to connect to the exhibit. How can you resist thinking about the subject, when looking at the serene beauty of the whole set-up, whilst eating yummie pudding!
The launch of the 'Aesthetic Nutrition' project happened on the 6th of July, and was commissioned by Bypass, an art magazine that invites artists to write about their work. The second magazine is due to be released in October 2010 and will contain an extensive article by Ana Cardim.
'Aesthetic Nutrition' was held in Appleton Square, which is a multivalent space geared towards diverse artistic manifestations and towards the sharing of multidisciplinary experiences. It was the first time that they had work on display by a jewelry designer!

Acme::LifeUniverseEverything - Revises your code based on The Ultimate Answer, as computed by the organic computer matrix ``Earth''
use Acme::LifeUniverseEverything;
print "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?\n"; print 6*9, "\n";
## Alternately, the following also print the "correct" value: ## print 6 * (3*3), "\n"; ## print 9 * (1+1+3+1), "\n"; ## etc..
Corrects faulty code which displays the incorrect value of six multiplied by nine. Previous versions of Perl provided an estimate which was almost, but not quite, entirely incorrect. All other math operations remain unaffected.
Constant integers are the only numbers affected, floats are not. Due to
limitations of
overload, the following operations can't be altered:
## Nope, uses string --> number cast print "6" * "9", "\n";
## Nope, uses smart ++ on undef, no visible int constants affecting ## values of $six, $nine my($six, $nine); $six++ for (1 .. 6); $nine++ for (1..9); print $six * $nine, "\n";
## Nope, internal limitation of overload print eval("6*9"), "\n";
## etc..
Apart from that, this code is completely free of bugs, in much the same way that Minnesota in August is not.

Isha Chawla Is Back With Special Song In SupremeMar 24, 2016 03:54 AM
Delhi beauty Isha Chawla made her debut in Telugu films in 2011 with the Aadi-starrer, Prema Kavali. The film was a modest success and Isha's work was well appreciated. The young actress then starred in yet another hit film, Poola Rangadu, which is also Sunil's biggest hit till date.
However, Isha's next few films like Balakrishna's Srimannarayana and Allari Naresh's Jump Jilani ended up being failures and Isha took a long break from Telugu films. Now, latest reports reveal that Isha will be making her comeback in very soon.
The actress will be grooving with Sai Dharam Tej in his current film, Supreme. The song's shoot will take place very soon. Anil Ravipudi is directing Supreme and Dil Raju is the producer. The film has Raashi Khanna playing the female lead.

God - Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary
From the Hanover College Department of History
From the Hanover College Department of History
" I am not an idolator," answered Dondindac.
" You must be an idolator," said Logomacos, " seeing that you are not Greek. Tell me, what was that you were singing in your barbarous Scythian jargon? "
" All tongues are equal in the ears of God," answered the Scythian. " We were singing His praises."
" That's very extraordinary," returned the theologian. " A Scythian family who pray God without having been taught by us! " He soon engaged Dondindac the Scythian in conversation, for he knew a little Scythian, and the other a little Greek. The following conversation was found in a manuscript preserved in the library of Constantinople." [...]

W. Thomas Smith Jr.
W. Thomas Smith Jr. (born April 30, 1959) is an American author, editor, and journalist. He has written several books. His articles have appeared in many newspapers and magazines. Smith is executive editor of World Defense Review, a columnist with Townhall.com, and a former contributor to National Review Online. He also makes satirical contributions to the CRTNET emailing list for the National Communication Association.
Education and military service[edit]
This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (March 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Smith graduated from the University of South Carolina (USC) in 1982 with a BA degree in history. He then served in the U.S. Marine Corps as an infantry leader, parachutist, and shipboard special weapons security and counterterrorism instructor. Following his service in the Corps in 1987, he served on a para-military SWAT team in the nuclear industry. Soon thereafter, he began his career as a journalist.
This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (March 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Smith has written for numerous publications, including USA Today, U.S. News & World Report, BusinessWeek, The New York Post, and the UK's The Guardian. In 1998, he co-authored a George magazine feature with John F. Kennedy Jr. (Smith interviewed Gen. William C. Westmoreland in Charleston, South Carolina – Kennedy interviewed Gen. Võ Nguyên Giáp in Vietnam). The interviews were published together as a single piece on the Vietnam War in the November 1998 issue of George.
As a war correspondent, Smith reported from battlefields in both the Balkans in 1995 and in the Middle East in 1997, and he covered the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks from ground zero in New York. Also during the 1990s, he worked as a business magazine editor, a contract media relations director, a publicist for NBA basketball player Vince Carter and other professional athletes, and was the sole columnist for head football coach Lou Holtz's official website during Holtz's inaugural season at USC.
Smith's first book, Encyclopedia of the Central Intelligence Agency, was published in 2003. He has since written five other books.
Smith has been a guest commentator on the Fox News Channel, E! Entertainment's True Hollywood Story, and Bill Bennett's Morning in America. He has also been interviewed by numerous national publications (including Woman's Day, Writer's Digest, The Writer, and others); NBC, CBS, and ABC television affiliates; and he is a frequent guest on nationally syndicated radio programs, National Public Radio (NPR), and international radio, including the BBC. His articles have been included numerous times in radio-host Rush Limbaugh's daily "stack of stuff."
Smith is a contributing writer for A Nation Changed, a book commemorating the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks (published by U.S. News & World Report). He is the technical editor and foreword writer for the second edition of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Iraq by Joseph Tragert, and he is the technical editor and "special afterword" writer for Contract Warriors by Fred Rosen.
He has served as adjunct professor at USC's College of Journalism and Mass Communications, and he has lectured groups and conferences from Fortune 500 companies to the U.S. Armed Forces.
A former correspondent for 'Agencia EFE' (the world's largest Spanish-language news wire), Smith currently writes a column, 'Beyond the DropZone', for – and is executive editor of – World Defense Review. He is a columnist for Townhall.com, and an erstwhile contributor to National Review Online. Some of his stories have been picked up by the Scripps Howard News wire. Others have been re-published by the U.S. Department of Defense. He also writes for Family Security Matters and is the director of their Counterterrorism Research Center.
Beirut controversy[edit]
In November 2007, Smith became the subject of controversy for blog posts he wrote as a freelancer for "The Tank", a section of National Review Online (NRO). On September 25, 2007, Smith reported that some 200-plus heavily armed Hezbollah militiamen were occupying a sprawling Hezbollah tent city close to the Lebanese parliament.[1] Four days later, he blogged that between 4,000 and 5,000 Hezbollah gunmen deployed to the Christian areas of Beirut in an unsettling show of force.[2]
The Huffington Post published a story alleging that Smith exaggerated or made up two events.[3] In response, Smith said he had only failed to be "specific in terms of detailing his sourcing."[4]
After an internal NRO investigation, Smith's editors declared that NRO could not stand by the blogging because both reports were disputed as implausible by sources independent of Smith.[5] On December 7, 2007, Smith voluntarily ended his relationship as a freelancer with NRO, saying this would be "in the best interest of the publication."[6]

[...] In general, too much of Smith's information came from sources who had an incentive to exaggerate the threat Hezbollah poses to Lebanon.

I posted an illustration of a Tread = Road poster awhile back, wanting to know if there was an MTB one?
And later that day I got an email from William Hibberd the man behind the poster. There was an MTB one…along with a BMX and cyclocross one too. William did these in conjunction with Intercity Design and they are for sale at Print-Process.
I personally think these would be rad posters to hang in any bike shop, but I want them for my home!
You can see more images of the posters…HERE!

Anyway, I've put it in, net's connected, all fine, I could restart 100 times and it would always be fast, until the computer just 100% freezes, I have to restart, at first I thought it was a virus, but I tried using the computer without the Net card enabled, I got bored after 3 hours of non-freezing, enabled it, froze within 5-10 seconds.
I thought it was my internet, so I put back in my Netgear card, and it works perfectly, I swap back to my D-Link, freezes in a few minutes.
I recently formatted, so I'm trying to download the Windows Updates, but It freezes while it's downloading...But I don't think that's it
Is there anything I can download on my Netgear atm that would prevent my computer from freezing while using my D-Link card
Any idea's would be great

View The Harrower Collection Documentary via YouTube
The Harrower Collection | 9th Infantry Brigade AIF.
The Harrower Collection, consists of Medals, Memorial Plaques, Awards, Badges and Australian Military and Family Historical information to the men of the 33rd 34th 35th and the 36th Battalion's during World War 1. (9th Infantry Brigade)
This Collection and database is an ongoing reminder of the sacrifice and commitment of Australian men who served their country during and World War 1 and many also served during World War 2. The 9th Infantry Brigade consisted of 4 Battalions; 33rd Battalion (New England Battalion) 34th Battalion (Maitland's Own) 35th Battalion (Newcastle's Own) and the 36th Rifle Battalion (Carmichael's 1000) with a majority of the men from the Mid North Coast, New England the Hunter Valley and Newcastle area's.
The Harrower Collection database will be viewed via the internet for all who have a regard and interest into the men who's deeds changed Australian history. I have attempted to address family history with each man's. Births, Deaths and Marriages certificate information and internet links:
and other relevant sites pertaining to information about the man researched.
This collection is currently on display at the Swansea RSL Club New South Wales, Australia, who's support has made this Web Site possible. I will continue to update the collection via the internet for future generations of Australians and overseas residents who appreciate these Australian men, of whom, many made the ultimate sacrifice. The 9th Infantry Brigade web site was launched on the 21st of July 2008. I continue to assist family and military researchers on individual projects and well as many authors. Please contact me as I'm more than happy to assist.
David John Harrower JP firstname.lastname@example.com
9th Infantry Brigade AIF. World War One
This collection was only conceived by chance when a work colleague by the name of Ross Sargant a local collector, offered me in 2001 a group of World War 1 medals and a bronze fob to Private: 1935 William Arthur Patterson. 35th Battalion, who was a Labourer from Inverell, New South Wales. I purchased this group of medals only because Lance Corporal: 6815 Albert Alexander Harrower. who was my Great Uncle also served with the 35th Battalion during the Great War. Albert was a Dairy Hand from Port Macquarie prior to enlistment. His medals were donated to a local RSL Club.
After I purchased this medal group to Private: 1935 William Arthur PATTERSON, I began to wonder how could people sell their family heritage?. I made a conscious decision that I would attempt to acquire as many medals and related information to the men of the 35th Battalion and hopefuly one day be able to display the collection for all Australian's who took the time and had a genuine interest in our heritage to appreciate what these fine Australian men had sacrificed for this wonderful country that we now live in. Many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their life in the service of King and Country.
After a short period I acquired a modest collection of 35th Battalion Medals it became clear to me that I would also have to collect for the 33rd 34th and the 36th Battalion as well. I was amazed at how many brothers enlisted, one with the 34th and another with the 35th, so I had to settle with the entire 9th Infantry Brigade.
As the current custodian of this collection I hope that these medals will never be sold overseas again as I have returned many Memorial Plaques and Medals from England, Canada and the United States back to our shores where they belong for future generation to admire and be be proud of their Australian Heritage by the deed's of our forefathers.
Anzac Day 2006 saw this collection displayed at the Swansea RSL Club This was the first time the collection was placed on public display which is now housed in new display cabinets. I thank the family's of the men who served with the 9th Infantry Brigade who have supported this collection with valuable family research and items which I have acknowledged on my contributions and donations page.
I greatly appreciate any assistance with any items to the men of the 9th Infantry Brigade as I am dedicated to preserving as many medals, death plaques, documents and memorabilia that I can for the twofold benefit of ensuring that the service of these men is never forgotten and that future generations of Australians have a visual appreciation of our military heritage. on the 3rd of October 2007 this collection was recommended for inclusion to the State Heritage Registar. by Mr Tim Smith; the Senior Heritage Officer. This site was nominated for the 2009 Prime Minister Australian History Awards. .

100th Anniversary of the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux
25th April 1918- 25th April 2018
On April 25, 1918 the village of Villers-Bretonneux was liberated by ANZAC forces after what has been described as perhaps "the finest Australian feat of arms on the Western Front". At that time and to this day the words "Villers-Bretonneux" represent a powerful symbol to Australians of the horrors of war and of the courage, resilience and selflessness of those who give their lives for liberty and the safety of others. Villers-Bretonneux is testament to an unbreakable bond between the peoples of France and Australia. On July 14 1919 the French community expressed words that reverberated with compassion, respect and friendship: "Soldiers of Australia, whose brothers lie here in French soil, be assured that your memory will always be kept alive, and that the burial places of your dead will always be respected and cared for..."Let us now add our own words of thanks to the people of Villers-Bretonneux for your ongoing belief in the links between our countries.
