Figured I might as well add my first scribble on the Kingtee 19MA :)
big question: does it have pen tilt sensitivity?ReplyDelete
Another useful information, i just orderd 22HD yesterday.Can't wait to try it on XP and Windows 8.ReplyDelete
@Vaughan... No, there is no tilt sensitivity which is a shame.
@ชวลิต อัศววรานันต์... Has your 22HD arrived yet? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Also, apology for the late reply's here. I've now set up an email notification so this won't happen again :)
Win 7 with 19ma. Had the same problems you did with the same solutions. Worked fine for a year then started drawing to the upper left again.ReplyDelete
Found a partial solution. Changing your screen resolution to 1024 x 768 will make the pen draw properly. Screen is stretched but I did say partial solution.ReplyDelete
This is an awesome post. Really very informative and creative contents.

The First-Ever UP Latam Summit United Community Leaders From 11 Different Countries
In the past 3 years, UP Global has expanded programming to reach entrepreneurs across the globe. With offices now in Brazil, Europe, Malaysia, and Mexico, UP strives to bring people together and help build thriving entrepreneurial communities.
Regional Summits are one way we bring programing, networking and community building to a growing area.
UP LATAM (Latin America) just held it's first Regional Summit in Manizales, Colombia. Over 55 entrepreneurs from 11 different countries attended with the desire to connect and share learnings. It was the first time in history that the UP Global Latam community gathered together to celebrate their entrepreneurial work.
In just two days, we were able to facilitate the unification of one of the most united, inspired, and genuine group of individuals. Everyone was eager to make a positive impact in their communities and influence the direction of Latin American entrepreneurs.

With an average growth of 84% in number of UP Global programs in the past 4 years, Colombia has increasingly become a country with huge potential for entrepreneurship. Organizing the UP Latam Summit in Colombia allowed the entrepreneurs in the area to expose their work, scope, focus and foremost, their impact across the region.
An important part of any Summit is making sure the right influential people are in on the action. We were able to attract some key Colombian players, such as entrepreneurial public agencies, bank institutions and other education & entrepreneurship institutions.
Google Developers has become one of the principal supporters of the UP Latam Summit. We have partnered with Google Latin America to develop the campaign One Community – a joint effort to bring UP community leaders and Google's technical communities together. This partnership will increase talent-diversity among Startup Weekend teams that will ultimately lead to stronger startups.
In this first pilot, Google has selected 15 different cities in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Chile, Guatemala & Uruguay.
The Summit was the perfect place to launch this initiative because both Google and UP Latam communities had the opportunity to meet in person, celebrating together, and form solid connections.
The UP Latam Summit had 55 attendees from 11 different countries.

UP Latam Summit – Emprendimiento que se fortalece en Latinoamérica.
La semana pasada, durante los días 23 y 24 de septiembre se llevó a cabo el UP Latam Summit en la ciudad de Manizales, en Colombia.
Más de 60 líderes de la comunidad de emprendimiento en Latinoamérica, que llegaron desde más de 15 países, se reunieron a compartir experiencias y participar, además, en el Startup Weekend MEGA Américas que sucedía por primera vez en Colombia, donde se dieron cita más de 350 participantes del país.
El emprendimiento en la región está creciendo a una tasa acelerada, y se empieza a sentir esa sed de aprendizaje y acción. Durante el evento hubo presencia también de entidades gubernamentales, privadas y universidades que quieren entender la perspectiva de nuestros líderes, y saber cómo pueden colaborar de una manera más complementaria.
A través de programas e iniciativas como el Fondo Emprender del SENA, INNpulsa Colombia, Emprende Cultura, Colombia Jóven Emprende y Apps.co, entre otras, el Gobierno Colombiano apoya proyectos de impulso a ideas de negocio, innovación, creación de empresas, PYMES y Startups, para contribuir a un país más moderno.
Durante el UP Latam Summit, los Líderes tuvieron sesiones de trabajo para mejorar el fomento al emprendimiento en los más de 15 países participantes, compartiendo información, casos de éxito y actividades que se pueden replicar en la región. El apoyo por parte de entidades en Latinoamérica existe, y es únicamente cuestión de identificar, conocer, entender, y aplicar a los fondos que tienen relevancia para cada startup o comunidad.
En México, por ejemplo, el Instituto Nacional del Emprendedor (INADEM) abre convocatorias de fondos para los emprendedores dos veces al año y organiza eventos para apoyar iniciativas del ecosistema emprendedor. Para Argentina, el Estado se hace presente para acompañar a todos aquellos que apuestan por el emprendimiento a través de programas como Capital Semilla, PACC Emprendedores, Innovación en Cadenas de Valor, Empresas Madrinas y Aprendiendo a Emprender. En Chile, Brasil y Perú existen los programas Startup Chile, Startup Perú y Startup Brasil respectivamente, los cuales cuentan con esquemas innovadores para desarrollar ecosistemas de emprendimiento de alto impacto en sus respectivos países, así como apoyos muy interesantes para las startups.
Le agradecemos a los líderes de Comunidad que participaron durante el primer UP Latam Summit, y a los patrocinadores que creen en el potencial de los emprendedores latinos. ¡Estamos ansiosos por el próximo UP Latam Summit en el 2015!
Si te interesa saber cómo puedes unirte a la Comunidad de Líderes de UP Latam, entra a latam.up.co o escríbenos a email@example.com.
Siguenos en redes sociales, Facebook, Twitter y Linkedin para conocer más de emprendimiento en Latinoamérica.

Startup Education: Putting the Future of Education in Your Hands
Today, the Startup Weekend Education team and UP Global are excited to introduce Startup Education, a comprehensive set of programming specifically built for those interested in innovating education. We've also just kicked off an exciting new partnership with EdSurge, the leading source of news and resources on education technology. Read below to find out more.
The First of Its Kind
On June 3, 2011, the first Startup Weekend Education event launched in San Francisco, CA. Hosted at the offices of one of the most promising edtech companies at the time, Grockit, the event drew educators, entrepreneurs, developers, and designers from all around the country. Over the span of 54 hours, a group of roughly 80 participants pitched ideas, formed teams, received mentorship, and launched the first version of their startup aimed to solve a particular problem in education. The formula was pure magic!
ideas + teams + entrepreneurship + mentorship = innovative solutions
But that wasn't surprising. Startup Weekend had been in existence since 2009, and the "idea-to-startup in one weekend" concept had already been proven in hundreds of cities around the world. What was up for debate, however, was the likelihood that this model could be applied to innovating education. The Startup Weekend Education event in San Francisco provided a good test, and the results were overwhelmingly positive.
Within a few months, Mountain View, Seattle, Washington DC, and London all followed suit, giving hundreds more people access to education entrepreneurship for the very first time. By the end of 2013, Startup Weekend Education expanded to 16 cities, spanning three continents, and played a pivotal role in the development of such companies as Clever, Class Dojo, Fantasy Geopolitics, and Trinket. In just over two years, Startup Weekend Education solidified itself as the largest starting point for education entrepreneurship in the world!
When You Know Better, You Do Better
The initial success of Startup Weekend Education proved that those passionate about leveraging entrepreneurship to solve problems in education could benefit from engaging in the 54-hour experiential learning event. However, as the number of events grew and increasingly more entrepreneurs went through the experience of trying to scale their venture beyond Startup Weekend Education, new learnings surfaced that highlighted opportunities for the program to improve its structure and expand its offerings.
In July 2013, Startup Weekend Education formed a partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This partnership afforded Startup Weekend Education an important opportunity to apply its learnings from the first two years and build out new programming to further support entrepreneurs in their quest to get their innovations to the learners they were designed to help. Below is an outline of the expanded offerings:
- Startup Weekend Education: Increasing involvement of key stakeholders, such as educators, school administrators, and policy makers
- Special Editions: Focusing on a specific part of the education industry (e.g. Next Gen, Youth, Library)
- Sponsored Challenges: Connecting education problems that organizations want to solve with the community of entrepreneurs that are equipped to solve them
- Bootcamps: Teaching key information and skills to scale education innovations
- Meetups: Building community with others who want to improve education
- Resource Hub: Aggregating the most valuable resources for education entrepreneurs
- Pathways: Customizing paths people can take to play an influential role in the education innovation movement
- Summits: Gatherings bringing together Startup Education Community Leaders, participants, partners, and the broader public
The Start of a New Era
Expanding beyond the flagship 54-hour event known as Startup Weekend Education, the organization is excited to announce it's new brand, Startup Education. Comprised of all the opportunities outlined above, Startup Education is the one place where anyone interested in education innovation can learn how to launch and scale their endeavors. Providing a comprehensive set of action-based opportunities for those passionate about innovating education, Startup Education has created an unprecedented opportunity for anyone, anywhere to shape the future of education.
Moving Forward Together
The ability of Startup Education to fulfill its mission is dependent on two main things: its community and its partners. Every Startup Education event is organized by a group of Community Leaders, forward-thinking individuals who volunteer their time, energy, and talents to empower others to play a role in innovating education. Startup Education is fortunate to have over 120 Community Leaders all over the world, and it is these special people who are the captains of this ship.
Startup Education is also fortunate to have formed a partnership with EdSurge, the leading source of news and resources on education technology. Going into effect July 2014, this partnership represents the pairing of Startup Education's global community and action-based programming with EdSurge's timely content, resources, and opportunities created specifically for education entrepreneurs.
The Startup Education community looks forward to utilizing EdSurge's Edtech Index, Reports, and Guides to better identify opportunities to pursue and pitfalls to avoid. With the inclusion of EdSurge's Tech for Schools Summits and Jobs, Opportunities, and Events Boards, the Startup Education community members will be aware of all the opportunities available to them as they navigate their journey through the education ecosystem. With the support of EdSurge, the Startup Education community will be better equipped to take on the hefty challenge of disrupting education.
The Time is Now, The Leader is You
Last year, 11 Startup Weekend Education events took place in North America and Europe. During the first six months of this year, there have already been 13 events, including two Youth events, one Library event, and one Next Gen event. With 39 more events already being prepared (including several Bootcamps launching this summer), Startup Education is on track to experience a 500% growth, closing out 2014 with 70 events, spanning nearly every continent on the globe!
With the addition of new programming, increasing interest to organize events, growing leadership within the community, and a valuable new partnership with EdSurge, the opportunity to change education for the better has never been more promising.
As with any truly catalytic movement, though, there is one particular factor that makes all the difference: the people. It is the people who show up and make their voice heard, it is the people who choose to collaborate, it is the people who put in the hard work, and it will be the people who determine what is done with this opportunity; this rare opportunity to play a role in shaping the future of education. Startup Education is confident that the people will rise to the occasion.

This is a bit of a continuation on the theme of stripes I wrote about on Friday, with curliques.
I'm going to begin with my effusive thanks to the Met for saving this unique garment. It is without question one of the most important designs ever to have been produced by the Worth couture house. Its a sublime combination of the highest levels of the weavers art, and the perfection of the assembly skills of the workers in the Worth atelier.
The ultimate success of this design lies in three things. First, the positioning of the pattern over the body maximizes the ability of stripes to shape the form, and fool the eye. We see the waist as being smaller than it is, the shoulder and hip lines, broader. The lines also create a strong sense of movement, causing the eye to race over the shape towards the top, almost like being propelled in that direction. The second reason is the absolute perfection of how the individual pattern pieces have been joined. Nothing interrupts the flow of those lines, giving the whole construction a grace that is undeniable. And finally, the near absence of any other decorative details allows the strength of this graphic presentation to really sing. There is a shallow ruched gather of the fabric at the neckline, and short gathered silk tulle sleeves with black velvet bows. That's all.

Remarkable! I've seen this gown many times, but always assumed the pattern was embroidery or appliqué. That the pattern is woven in, and then the way it's been used...? Quite the feat of dressmaking. : )ReplyDeleteReplies
Honestly I get a headache thinking of how much math went into figuring out exactly how to weave the material en disposition. we no longer see this level of work, even in the couture.Delete

The Who - Record Collector Magazine - June, 2007
Sometime in early 2007, Record Collector Magazine contacted me to put together an article containing 50 to 100 Who rarities. Rather than cover the same ground that's been done so many times before, I wanted to do something different. Please note that the values noted for each record were current at the time I wrote the article and like any other "market prices", always subject to change...

We tell our kids over and over that we just want them to be happy. We do things in order to facilitate that happiness. We try to predict the future by preparing them for it. We push them to fulfill their potential, set and meet goals, achieve, succeed…then, when they grow up with all of this experience and all of these skills, for sure they'll be happy.
Just be happy.
We say we just want our kids to be happy. We feel it in our hearts. We stress and strive and push and contrive. Happy.
What about that?
I think by saying and believing that that is all we want we are saying that happiness is a way of being. It's not. It's an emotion, a feeling, as much as sadness. Happiness is a place of being.
Being in happiness.
If we say we only want them to be happy will they feel shame for having sadness or depression or anxiousness? Would it not be best to say we want them to be. Just be, my sweet child. Just be where you are. Who you are.
Just be Hank. Be Wyatt. Be Ellie.
To be present in whatever place they are and enjoy it or experience it for what it is. And then have the tools and knowledge to let it go and accept what comes next.
Live in the flow of what life brings with honest acceptance and brilliance no matter happiness or sadness. To just be present with themselves.
Wouldn't that be the best wish for them? To have full acceptance of what is and what isn't with the capacity to know the difference and to move through it with ease and fluidity.
Be in happiness.
Be in joy.
Be in the place you are.
Be who you are.
Be. You.

Garage Sale!
Anyway, those pictures will have to wait for now. This is a quick post that I meant to upload earlier in the week, but time has slipped away. We have the big garage sale at church tomorrow morning, from 8am-1pm, and I wanted to remind all of you Fergus Fallsians (is that how the word would look?) to come! There will be many families all gathered in Bethel's parking lot to sell off our stuff. I've been hoping to get rid of 50% of my belongings, and while I don't really know what that would look like, I think I must be close.
For all of you reading this who don't live in Fergus, will you pray for a good turnout? No matter how much work I've done to get ready, it won't matter if people don't show up. It's supposed to be a beautiful day so I'm planning on arriving early (for all those die-hard garage salers we have in town) and spending the day in the sun.
I better get back to pricing stuff. I'll let you know how it goes!

Again, the benefit of ceramic is both permanence of replica watches sale the color (it wont fade) as well as the durable scratch-resistance properties of the hard material (meaning that it will age very well). Aside from the replica watches sale new blue and red bezel there isn't anything new about this version of the GMT-Master II watch. It retains the 40mm wide case size and in-house made Rolex caliber 3186 automatic COSC Chronometer certified movement. This is of course a very popular design, is on par with the Submariner among Rolex's most desired rolex replica uk sport watches. I haven't broached perhaps the most controversial element on the GMT-Master II ref. 116719 BLRO watch and rolex replica uk that is the case material. If you are asking yourself how someone can make a decision between the red and blue or blue and black bezel version of the GMT-Master II, the answer is going to be the price. While the ref. 116710 BLNR comes in replica watches sale steel, this 2014 116719 BLRO is offered only in 18k white gold.

The information technology sector in Bangladesh had its beginnings in nuclear research during the 1960s. Over the next few decades, computer use increased at large Bangladeshi organizations. Today, the sector is still in a nascent stage, though it is showing potential for advancement. The IT industry is a relatively new sector in the country's economy. Though it is yet to make tangible contributions in the national economy, it is an important growth industry.
In a study among Asian countries by Japan International Cooperation Agency in 2007–08, Bangladesh was ranked first in software and IT services competitiveness and third in competencies, after India and China. The World Bank, in a study conducted in 2008, projected triple digit growth for Bangladesh in IT services and software exports. Bangladesh was also listed as one of the top 30 Countries for Offshore Services in 2010–2011.
In association with all other organization NANOTECH also contributing its whole hearted efforts for strengthening and development of I.T walk-speed. Information Technology is now a most important of widespread interest in Bangladesh. And our young generation has correctly identified I.T. as the future of the country and they are very much enthusiastic to work and contribute in this sector. Information Technology is the application of computers and telecommunication equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data, often in the context of a business or other enterprises. The business value of information technology lies in the automation of business process, provision of information for the decision making, connecting business with their customers, and the provision of productivity tools to increase efficiency.
With the product, solution, and services line up Nanotech enriching everyday keeping harmony with the tremendous development going on in I.T sector. I believe this is the beginning only with future successes visible in the distant horizon. Bangladesh has to go a long way to enjoy the sweet fruits of information age.
The gradual transformation of Nanotech in recent times from an enterprise hardware supplier to a corporate solution provider has simply been fast paced and amazing. The vision of Nanotech is to -"Become a leading office automation products and solutions provider in the field of information and communication technology". Based on its core commitments, service excellence and customer satisfaction, Nanotech continues to grow in expertise, technical capability, and service.
Over the years, Nanotech has won major projects both in the private and public sector. With the product, solution and services lineup Nanotech enriched than ever before. I can only envision a prospect in that will be hard for others to match. I look forward of Nanotech become a well known name of the field ICT through possessing its own product lineup and catering the needs of consumers across all industry types. I believe my team is well set for this aspiration to become a reality.

It's a must-win. And it's unfortunate that a Week 15 game in Buffalo is so vital. Had the Patriots been able to beat the Dolphins last week, they'd have the division all-but clinched. In fact, a win last Sunday in Miami, and the Pats could've clinched the division this Sunday with a win.
Had the Pats beaten Miami, and been able to get into the end zone against the Jets in Week 2 to win that game, then the division would be mathematically sealed and delivered to Foxborough.
Back to present reality, the Patriots are 1 game ahead in the AFC East. However, a loss on Sunday, coupled with a Miami victory, and the AFC East isn't tied at the top. Miami would have the advantage, as they would have clinched a better divisional record, which would trump any ties the Patriots and Dolphins find themselves in.
A loss on Sunday would also cripple any hopes of a Wild Card berth. As the standings lay right now, Miami, Baltimore, Jacksonville, and the Jets are all tied at 7-6 for that 6th and final AFC playoff spot. A loss on Sunday would throw the Patriots into that gaggle of teams, and with a 5-5 conference record (tie-breaker after head-to-head).
Perhaps the cold weather has got me so dismal and pessimistic. But there are some frightening FACTS about the Bills and the Patriots.
#1: The Pats barely beat the Bills in Foxborough. If not for some token Buffalo chokedom, that game would've been lost.
#2: The Bills have nothing to lose. When they're playing for something tangible, they fuck it up. But freed of such pressures and they tend to play their best football.
#3: 0-5, that's the Patriots record when playing west of Worcester.
#4: The Pats' 20-10 victory over Carolina was far from inspiring football.
#5: The Bills beat Miami 31-14 just a few weeks ago.
Now it's time to look on the bright side of things. The Bills have no passing game. For a team that's frequently trailing in games 2,311 total passing yards is pretty weak. 13 passing TDs, 16 INTs. A team rating of 69.8. The major weaknesses of the Pats' defense are pass-rushing and pass-defending. Thanks to Ryan Fitzpatrick, that shouldn't be much of a worry.
And let's just say the Pats do lose to Buffalo. Miami and the Jets both have interesting schedules to negotiate. Miami is @ Tennessee Sunday, then hosts Houston, then Pittsburgh. The Jets have Atlanta at home Sunday, then @ Indy, then hosting the Bengals.
I think the Patriots will roll on Sunday. Unfortunately, it'll take Terrell Owens to get Randy Moss motivated. Even without Moss, the Pats' D will stifle Buffalo's running game enough to keep them off the board. Eventually, the Pats will score some touchdowns and win 31-10.

The worst natural disaster in Puerto Rico's history
It's been 6 months since Hurricane Maria devastated our island neighbor. Yet, many people are still facing extreme hardships.
Tens of thousands of homes are without roofs, the electrical grid has not been fixed, and many residents are living in poverty and struggling to find enough to eat. This is not the proper way to treat a longstanding part of the United States which desperately needs aid.
This administration has turned their back on our friends and fellow citizens and failed to properly respond to the worst natural disaster in Puerto Rico's history. Now, hurricane season is getting close which is concerning recovery efforts.
We must do more to repair infrastructure and rebound the economy before it's too late. Otherwise, experts warn the island may never fully recover.
Please support my candidacy so we can get Puerto Rico and it's residents back on their feet: All amounts — big or small — go a long way towards building our campaign to win the November midterm.
Thank you for stepping up when it counts most,
— Mary

Chapter History
Kaweah Chapter DAR was organized on October 28, 1954, in Visalia, California, a Central California city that sits in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia is the oldest city between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and is often called the Gateway to the Sequoias. In 2007, Visalia was named the third fastest growing city in California and 19th fastest growing city in the United States. Visalia lies within miles of the tallest mountain range in the contiguous United States (the Sierra Nevada), and is the closest major city to Sequoia National Park, home to some of the largest living things on earth - the Giant Sequoia trees.
In 1852, pioneers settled in the area, then called Four Creeks. The area got its name from many watershed creeks and rivers flowing from the Sierra Nevada Mountains. All the water resulted in a large swampy area with a magnificent oak forest. The industrious group of settlers petitioned the state legislature for county status and on July 10 of that same year, Tulare County became a reality. One of the first inhabitants of a fort built in the area by the settlers was Nathaniel Vise. Nathaniel was responsible for surveying the new settlement. Visalia is named for Nathaniel Vises' ancestral home of Visalia, Kentucky. Early growth in Visalia can be attributed in part to the gold rush along the Kern River. The gold fever brought many transient miners through Visalia along the way, and when the lure of gold failed to materialize, many returned to Visalia to live their lives and raise families.
The chapter name is derived from ga-we-hah, a Yokut Indian word meaning "crow" or "raven's cry." The Yokuts of the Southern San Joaquin Valley (Tulare County area) date back at least 8,000 years, and were the first inhabitants of the Kaweah River Watershed. The tribe settled in several villages in and around the present-day site of Lake Kaweah, an irrigation and water supply lake. The Yokuts subsisted mostly on acorns found in abundance in the area due to huge stands of oak trees. They ground acorns in mortars with granite pestles, and created cakes and other foods from the ground material.
Chapter Organization History
Kaweah Chapter was organized October 28, 1954, with 18 organizing members. Though Mrs. Charles Olsson has been listed as the organizing regent in our yearbook for many years, and is also listed as such in the State History Book, reading through the old scrapbooks of the chapter has revealed that Mrs. Olsson resigned and Mrs. Harry H. Holley (Kate) was appointed as organizing regent. There are 40 charter members listed on the official charter. The organizing meeting was held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church (now St. Paul's Anglican Church). The chapter was confirmed by the National Society on December 7, 1954.
Including the organizing regent, 27 different Daughters have served as chapter regent, with six regents, Peggy Gist, Emily McClaine, Barbara Jaggers, Linda Calvin, Debra Jamison, and Jane Blair, serving two terms of office. Carole Reeder served three terms.
Josephine Pinkham was the first member of Kaweah Chapter to serve as a state officer. She served as state historian from 1966-1968 on the board of Eleanor Spicer, who later became California's first President General. Jo also served as president of the State Officer's Club.
Linda Gist Calvin was the second chapter member to serve as a state officer, serving in four positions on the State Board, culminating with service as State Regent from 2000-2002. Linda was the first member of the chapter to serve on the National Executive Board, serving as Recording Secretary General 2005-2008, and serving in the highest office in NSDAR as President General 2007-2010.
The third chapter member to serve as a state officer, Debra Parent Jamison, served as state recording secretary 2008-2010, and state vice regent 2010-2012 and culminating with service as State Regent from 2012-2014.
In addition, the chapter has had five Daughters serve as district director: Mesdames Gist, Jaggers, Calvin, Reeder and Jamison, along with many who have served on the District V board.
Seven Juniors have served as pages on the state level, four as personal pages to State Regents and three as personal pages to a President General. All three of the "Gist girls" were State Outstanding Juniors and both Linda and Carol were honored at the state level as Outstanding Chapter Regents. Debbie Jamison was honored as State Outstanding Veteran's Volunteer.
Many chapter members have served as state chairmen of various committees and five have served as national chairmen.
Other surprises can be discovered reading though state history. One volume shows that the first project of the newly organized chapter was to cooperate with the Visalia Presbyterian Church to help organize a public gathering to hear Mr. R. E. Combs, Counsel for the California Senate Fact-finding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities, speak on "Communist Front Organizations," and in 1955 the chapter presented Mr. Combs with a National Defense Merit Award. For many years Kaweah Chapter was known for its strong support of the National Defense and Resolutions Committee, winning first place in the state on numerous occasions. Our first regent, Kate Holley, served on the National Resolutions Committee and was the state resolutions chairman. The chapter counted on the chapter committee, with Peggy Gist as chairman, to submit resolutions.
In 1973, Barbara Jaggers, as state junior membership chairman, conceived and carried out a plan to place an American eagle at the top of the flag pole at Independence Hall as part of Mrs. Spicer's "Gift to the Nation." Barbara also supervised the National Junior Membership doll, "Miss Eleanor," honoring Mrs. Spicer.
The chapter was also very interested in conservation with particular interest in flood control. After the floods in the 1950s, the chapter passed a resolution for the construction of Terminus Dam and wrote letters to congressmen asking for immediate action.
Kaweah has organized celebrations for Constitution Week since 1956, holding a yearly luncheon, sponsoring displays in the City Library, County Court House, schools, and stores in downtown Visalia. During the city-wide bicentennial celebration of the Constitution, the chapter contributed money to sponsor the planting of a tree in the newly created Constitution Park, in memory of our member, Barbara Gist Jaggers.
Even though many chapters sponsor work within the various committees framework, these numbers seem worthy of mention. Since the inception of the American History Essay contest in 1956, the chapter has sponsored the contest in area schools honoring over 200 students as winners, and thousands of students as participants. The DAR Good Citizens Awards and scholarships in area high schools have been sponsored since the organization of the chapter in 1954. DAR Good Citizenship Medals have been awarded to graduating eighth grade students in Northern Tulare County Schools for over 45 years and over 1100 medals and certificates have been presented to encourage good citizenship in our youth.
The chapter promotes patriotism through its work at the Fresno VA Hospital. Thousands of flags were presented to naturalized citizens prior to the ceremonies being moved from our area. Thousands of copies of the DAR Manual for Citizenship have also been presented, including some printed in Spanish for citizenship classes in area farm labor camps.
In 1976, for the Bicentennial Celebration of the United States, the chapter donated large flags to the Visalia City Library and also planted a tree in Mooney Grove Park in the museum area, which still stands today.
Seven volumes of genealogical records, acquired from family Bibles, family papers and obituaries, were indexed and bound by the chairman of the Genealogical Records Committee, Shirley Farnesi, assisted by chapter members.
During Mrs. Calvin's term as State Regent, the chapter generously provided funds for her State Regent's Conservation project, the building of the Wild Flower Gazebo at the Clemmie Gill School for Conservation (SCICON), and also sponsored the re-carpeting and refurnishing at Tamassee DAR School's Pouch Cottage.
Since the inception of the Outstanding Community Service Awards, the chapter has honored Peggy Gist and Mayor Mary Louise Vivier for their service to the community. It was an honor to present a National Conservation Medal several years ago to local horticulturist Ralph Moore in recognition of his outstanding dedication and contributions to the rose industry.
Looking back, the past 60 years have been very productive. In addition to the accomplishments listed, we have had a good time with long-time members and new ones. Not many of us will be here in 2054 when the chapter centennial celebration is held, but hopefully those members will look back on the accomplishments of the first sixty years and know that the group of Daughters who organized the chapter in 1954 and those who have worked so hard during the first sixty years were a dedicated group of Daughters committed to our DAR motto of God, Home, and Country.
