One of a series of classic Victorian children's books by the British artist and author. Caldecott was the eponym of the Caldecott Medal and transformed the world of children's books in the Victorian era. He exercised his art chiefly in book illustrations, which were full of life, and instinct with a kindly, graceful humour. The stories and rhymes were all of his choosing and in some cases were written or added to by himself.

Glenn Miller and America's Big Band
Glenn Miller, band leader, musician, arranger, and composer during the swing era of the 1940's became one of the most iconic names in music. In 1942 with patriotic intention of entertaining the Allied Forces to boost morale overseas, Glenn Miller joined the war effort and was given rank as Army Captain and leader of the Army Band. He would soon transfer to the U.S Army Air Force, playing at air fields and bases across the nation and finally shipping out to England during the Summer of 1944. Miller's most famous recordings include "In The Mood", and "Moonlight Serenade". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CI-0E_jses Miller was missing in action in 1944 on a flight from England to France over the English channel, but will forever be remembered as a hero and music star of the era. Before Miller's disappearance, his music was used by World War II AFN radio broadcasting for entertainment and morale as well as counter-propaganda to denounce fascist oppression in Europe with even Miller once stating on radio "America means freedom and there's no expression of freedom quite so sincere as music." Today Cockpit USA immortalizes Glenn Miller on our new lambskin A2 jacket reminiscent of the World War II years and swing music. Lined with a beautiful silk screened Glenn Miller Appliqué and a hand printed image of Glenn Miller playing his trombone on the back of the jacket; Cockpit USA’s Glenn Miller lambskin A-2 is designed for those who appreciate the great musicians who defined a whole era of popular culture.

President Obama as Mortgage Broker
I just lost another loan to Obama!
When last we heard from the salesman in chief 10 days ago, he was pitching General Motors and Chrysler cars so aggressively that he did everything but offer to rotate every American's tires. Now, it seems, he's moonlighting for LendingTree.com.
Thursday morning's commercial was set in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, where the president was joined by happy homeowners. "Here's the good news," he announced. "Rates are as low as they've been since 1971."
As a result of such fabulous deals, he went on, "everybody here represents families who have saved hundreds of dollars a month, thousands of dollars a year in some cases -- and that's money directly in their pocket."
So how can you, sitting at home, join these satisfied customers?
Easy. "If you are having problems with your mortgage, and even if you're not and you just want to save some money," the president announced, "you can go to MakingHomeAffordable.gov -- MakingHomeAffordable.gov -- and the way the Web site is designed, you can plug in your information and immediately find out whether or not you are potentially eligible."
Sounds great! Can we have that Web site one more time, Mr. President? "Again, the Web site is MakingHomeAffordable.gov -- is that right? MakingHomeAffordable.gov -- so get on the Web site, find out what's available."
Every salesman knows repetition is key to closing the deal, so Obama repeated the name of the site again, for a total of five times in his five-minute pitch. "So take advantage of MakingHomeAffordable.gov, and that will allow you to figure out exactly how to proceed on this in a way that's making you money, saving you money, as opposed to costing you money."
Because when lenders compete, you win!
Seeing as Obama is the commander in chief and all, it seemed advisable to do as he (repeatedly) said and check out MakingHomeAffordable.gov. There, one finds a slick Web site looking very much like private mortgage refinancing sites: a logo with houses and the "Help for America's Homeowners" slogan, a "Homeowner's Hope Hotline" (888-995-HOPE), a picture of a woman and child on a playground, and "self-assessment tools" to "see if you are among the 7 to 9 million homeowners who may be able to benefit from Making Home Affordable."
Only in small print at the bottom does the visitor see mention of the Treasury and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Click on the "Audio and Video" menu and you'll find "Weekly Address: Toward a Better Day" -- a link to the White House Web site and one of Obama's Saturday radio addresses from last month.
This presidential marketing approach doesn't have quite the dignity of an FDR fireside chat, but it is, undeniably, very 21st century. And, for better or worse, it seems to have become a regular part of the presidential oeuvre.

Tools of Revolution: Fashion Photography & Activism showcases the underrecognized photographic work of Harlem-based, Civil Rights activist and photographer, Kwame Brathwaite, and positions his legacy in the current moment through the work of three young artists similarly working at the nexus of fashion, activism, and photography in New York. Ultimately, this group show will highlight the ways in which the intentional construction of self for the camera, particularly through decolonizing fashion and its image, has a lasting impact on the broader culture around it—from popular music to political movements. The three young photographers included in this exhibition, Arielle Bobb-Willis, Micaiah Carter, and Dana Scruggs, are all based in New York and work for major publications such as Rolling Stone, W Magazine, Vogue, The New York Times, and many more. By bringing forward the political rhetoric associated with fashion and editorial work, these photographers enact a new kind of activism that incorporates new visions of beauty and power into our popular visual lexicon. Through this work, we see how photography is a utility and fashion is a tool to reframe our views as well as our values. Gallery Hours Wednesday and Thursday, 11am–9pm Friday, 11am–5pm Saturday and Sunday, 11am–7pm www.hcponline.org

Did you know that the government of the United States have regulations? Not only around the entities of the house or office building but also around all doors and enclosures, such as the main doors, escape or exit doors, and even the garage doors and commercial gates of industrial properties. This information can be found on their Federal Register website here.
There are many types of specific industries that require a commercial gate on their premises, especially ones that have a higher security protocol than others. This can include anything from a high-rise apartment block, manufacturing facilities, bottling companies, prisons, government facilities, commercial real estate, healthcare facilities, care facilities and many others.
These places all have security gate to keep things according to the government regulations, be it electrical or manual, and they offer the same solution, protection, safety, and security. There are 3 common types of security gates within the commercial setting and these include the Swing gates, Bi-folding, and the Sliding or Rolling options. Let’s look at them briefly.
Bi-folding Commercial Gates. These are also known as “speeding gates” because they are very quick and can open and close faster than most. When a building such as an industrial park has high traffic areas, where cars come in and out of the premises regularly, this is the best type of enclosure to have. These can operate anywhere up to 50mph.
Swing Gates. The more traditional form of security enclosures is these swing gates, which are the manually operated types. These are multipurpose and can be used in many different types of properties and many business sites, schools and private spaces use them to date. They are manufactured in a way that they can open in both directions, from left to right, and vice versa. There are four main types of designs which can be found here: https://www.themanufacturer.com/articles/a-guide-to-the-different-types-of-automatic-gates/ and they can get up to 8 meters long which is suitable for large entrances and exits. For a cost-effective choice, these are perfect, and they are easy to install too.
Rolling or Sliding Gates. These are common in many locations as well. They can be opened by sliding them from left to right and they align with the fence they are installed to. This motion is achieved by the use of roller wheels underneath the gates, which are slotted inside of a v-groove ground track, and these roller wheels slide inside it keeping the gate in position and parallel to the fence.
What Happens When These Gates Malfunction or Break
When any of these types of gates breaks, malfunctions, or falls off of its tracks, it can be a huge hassle to try and install them back yourself, due to the size, weight, and complexities of it’s moving parts. Plus, it is dangerous to try and lift it by yourself unless you have the right tools to do this.
When these things happen, it is very important to get it fixed immediately by calling expert services such as Top Quality Doors – commercial gate repair, for instance, they send their engineers out to the site to see what the issue is and either repair it there and then or take it back to their repair shop to get it fixed there. When not done immediately, and you are in a secure location, anyone can walk into the premises without any notice, putting the building and its people at risk.
If the damage is extensive, the repair engineers will find a temporary solution for the gate while they fix the main one, which could take a few days. These types of gates also need regular maintenance, for instance, some run on lubrication, and if this dries out it could get stuck and fall, making it a dangerous hazard. Others that have rollers, can break or dismantle as well.
As the saying goes, prevention is always a better option than cure, don’t put your employees and their cars at risk, by not getting these types of important equipment sorted out as soon as possible, otherwise, you may have a lawsuit on your hands. One should know when it’s time to call the repair services, and this would usually be in the early stage of the gate not working properly or seeing any inconsistencies in it.
Something small such as a crack in the metal frames can lead to much bigger damage in the long run especially due to constant wear and tear. It is always important to get things fixed as soon as you notice they look out of place.

Skin Resurfacing Options
The Sullivan Centre offers many options for resurfacing your skin. Skin resurfacing in Columbus, Ohio, can remove the outer epidermis, stimulate new skin growth, and remove blemishes or hyperpigmentation. There are many factors that can contribute to skin that has lost its youthfulness. Heredity, nutrition, prescription drug use, pregnancy, illness, injury, the natural process of aging, and repeated or excessive exposure to the sun can each take their toll on skin. This can leave the complexion scarred, uneven, blotchy in color, or dull in appearance.
Skin resurfacing is a popular option for men and women alike who seek to improve the look and feel of skin on their face, neck, hands, and other areas of the body. Most patients focus on the face, neck, and hands. These areas of the body are the most obvious and visible to others. Having smooth, even, fresh-looking skin can increase patients’ confidence and self-esteem.
What conditions can be treated by skin resurfacing?
The conditions that can lead patients to choose a non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure can include:
- Wrinkled or sun-damaged skin
- Wrinkle lines around the eyes
- Fine wrinkling of the eyelids
- Vertical wrinkles around the mouth
- Brown spots or generalized skin blotchiness
- Pre-cancerous skin growths
- Scarring from acne or chicken pox
- Facial scars due to injury
What are my options for skin resurfacing?
Dr. Michael Sullivan may recommend a single skin resurfacing treatment, repeated treatments, or a combination of treatments. It all depends on your goals.
The types of treatments range from chemical peels to microdermabrasion to laser skin resurfacing. Each method removes layers of skin, which allows new, healthy layers of skin to develop and move to the visible, top level. Chemical peels rely on solutions to remove one or more layers of skin. Microdermabrasion sloughs off skin using a diamond tipped wand. Laser resurfacing relies on a beam of light. (This is why laser skin resurfacing is also called skin photorejuvenation.)
The recovery time required for each type of treatment can vary from no downtime to several weeks of healing. Dr. Sullivan will explain the recovery time needed when describing the types of skin resurfacing procedures available. Select a procedure below for more information:

Rumor Has It - the hazards of aluminum in antiperspirants
The Internet is full of rumors suggesting that the use of underarm antiperspirants is linked to such health conditions as breast cancer, Alzheimer disease, and kidney disease. But for every rumor there is a scientific evidence. We take a look at the assumptions related to antiperspirant use and relevant research.
Millions of people use antiperspirant daily. Antiperspirants are a common defense against embarrassing underarm wetness and the unpleasant aroma caused by odor-producing bacteria. By temporarily blocking sweat ducts, antiperspirants are able to reduce the amount of perspiration produced, which means less sweat in the underarm area. One of the sweat-blocking ingredients found in many antiperspirants is aluminum, an element that’s also found in drinking water, cooking utensils, antacids and beer. The question is whether a cosmetic product you’ve been applying to your skin on a daily basis for many years can actually be potentially dangerous to your health?
Antiperspirants and breast cancer
For an ordinary consumer it might be a bit tricky to obtain accurate information online regarding the connection between antiperspirants’ use and breast cancer. Some studies show that aluminum-based antiperspirants may increase the risk of breast cancer while researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a part of the National Institutes of Health, are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. Let’s take a look at both points of view.
As it was mentioned earlier, a few studies in recent years have theorized that aluminum-based antiperspirants may increase the risk for breast cancer. According to the authors of these studies, most breast cancers develop in the upper outer part of the breast — the area closest to the armpit, which is where antiperspirants are applied. The studies suggest that chemicals in antiperspirants, including aluminum, are absorbed into the skin, particularly when the skin is nicked during shaving. These studies claim that those chemicals may then interact with DNA and lead to cancerous changes in cells, or interfere with the action of the female hormone estrogen, which is known to influence the growth of breast cancer cells. At the same time, in 2002, the results of a study looking for a relationship between breast cancer and underarm antiperspirants/deodorants did not show any increased risk for breast cancer in women who reported using an underarm antiperspirant or deodorant. The results also showed no increased breast cancer risk for women who reported using a blade (non-electric) razor and an underarm antiperspirant or deodorant, or for women who reported using an underarm antiperspirant or deodorant within 1 hour of shaving with a blade razor.
Another study published in 2003 looked at responses from questionnaires sent out to women who had breast cancer. The researcher reported that women who were diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age said they used antiperspirant and started shaving their underarms earlier and shaved more often than women who were diagnosed when they were older. But the study design did not include a control group of women without breast cancer and has been criticised by experts as not relevant to the safety of these underarm hygiene practices.
Although the idea that antiperspirants might somehow contribute to the disease is a pretty serious claim, experts say the claims don’t hold up to scrutiny and many of the studies that have been conducted were flawed, and even though a few detected chemicals from antiperspirants in breast tissue, they didn’t prove that those chemicals had any effect on breast cancer risk. In fact, one well-designed study comparing hundreds of breast cancer survivors with healthy women, as well as a review of all available studies on the subject, found no evidence that antiperspirants increase the risk of breast cancer.
Antiperspirants and Alzheimer’s Disease
Aluminum has also been fingered as a potential contributor to Alzheimer’s disease. While it’s true that aluminum has been found in the bodies of some people with the disease, it hasn’t been found in every person with Alzheimer’s. And although aluminum has been tied to brain problems common in people with Alzheimer’s, there’s no proof that aluminum causes the disease.
Antiperspirants and kidney disease
Concerns about antiperspirants and kidney disease were first raised many years ago, when dialysis patients were given a drug called Aluminum Hydroxide to help control high phosphorus levels in their blood. Because their kidneys weren’t functioning properly, their bodies couldn’t remove the aluminum fast enough, and it began accumulating. Scientists noticed that dialysis patients who had these high aluminum levels were more likely to develop dementia. In reality, it’s almost impossible to absorb enough aluminum through the skin to harm the kidneys.
Should you stop using antiperspirants?
While there are numerous articles advocating either the direct link between antiperspirant use and increased breast cancer risk or no link at all, neither of those assumptions seem to be definite. The important thing to remember is that aluminum is still a chemical ingredient. Regardless of whether or not aluminum plays role in increased risk of breast cancer or other health conditions, your skin does absorb it and we bet most of you would like to avoid or at least minimize the amount of chemical absorbed through your skin. Aluminum-free antiperspirants is probably the most convenient alternative. A perfect natural alternative to antiperspirants is coconut oil. Not only you will smell good, your armpits will be moisturised as well. If you would like to avoid aluminum, remember to create a personal alert with CosmEthics app.

The Eatery, Cape Town’s Den Anker, was known for its atmosphere and good food. With no sit-in dining for the moment, the eatery is now known for its good food and food for good
The Belgian seafood restaurant runs a soup kitchen, feeding 8 000 people a week. The soup kitchen is run on donations and the goodwill of a community doing their part.
An empty kitchen and hearts full of compassion
Like many restaurants across South Africa, the boutique restaurant was hard hit by the lockdown. While contemplating the loss of income, loss of staff and the impact of COVID-19 on the future, Rejeanne Vlietman General Manager Den Anker was inspired to put the empty kitchen to good use, feeding the poor and vulnerable of Cape town.
“With our own teams being sent home into lockdown and the rising need for food security, we considered the fact that we have a fully functional kitchen. A few of us with the wish to use up some time in our day for the good of others, it didn’t make sense to sit at home and consider that there are people out there going hungry,” she says.
Den Anker meal kits are more than just food in a box
Although the idea may have come from Rejeanne, she says the soup kitchen is run with the support of the Den Anker community who have given their time, donated food and donated money for the running of the soup kitchen when ordering their meal kits from the restaurant.
“Being in the location we’re in and serving the type of food that we do, we felt that takeaways wouldn’t really do justice to the Den Anker experience, so we decided to create meal kits that people could cook quite easily at home – and have some fun while doing it!”
In addition to putting smiles on customers’ faces, the DIY meal kits also serve a greater purpose – that of helping some of Cape Town’s most vulnerable communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“At the moment we are running a soup kitchen from the restaurant, which feeds 80 000 people a week,” says Rejeanne. “To help fund this initiative, diners that order the meal kit have the option to donate R10 when they make their payment online, which will pay for four meals at the soup kitchen.”
Finding a little joy
Although we are all faced with uncertainty while adapting to a new way of life, Rejeanne says working in the soup kitchen has been a fulfilling experience and she hopes to work with an NGO in the future to create a sustainable community project to feed Cape Town’s poor.
“We would like to connect with NGO’s once this is over the worst and assist with food going forward as well as offer guidance within the vulnerable community spaces, offering assistance in setting up micro businesses where those with the want and the interest can create a sustainable operation for their and their community benefit,” she says.
Donate to Den Anker’s soup kitchen by ordering a meal kit on Facebook and adding a donation to your cost. Choose between Den Ankers famous Wagyu burgers, mussels and chips sweet pea butternut and chickpea curry and Ganbas Pili Pili all with Brussels waffles for dessert and take all the credit for your gourmet meal.*Delivery only available in limited areas

Firmin Ngrebada on Thursday resigned as prime minister of the Central African Republic along with his entire cabinet.
Ngrebada was made prime minister in February 2019. He had served as President Faustine-Archange Touadera's chief of cabinet before the appointment.
He had been one of the main architects of the Khartoum peace agreement in February 2019 between the authorities and armed groups which brought relative stability to the country that has been mired in conflict since 2013.
A spokesman for the presidency said Ngrebada could be asked to lead a new government.
His resignation comes after strained political and diplomatic ties with former colonial ruler France.
Paris announced this week that it was suspending military assistance to Bangui, saying authorities in the African country were complicit in a Russian propaganda campaign against its forces and diplomats.
The central African Republic has since charged a French man found with weapons with espionage.
In December 2020, Facebook accused Paris and Moscow of running rival disinformation campaigns in CAR. The platform said it had pulled down more than 500 accounts, pages, and groups from Facebook and Instagram originating from Russia and France targeting 13 African countries, including Mali, Tunisia, Libya, Niger, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso.
Some in opposition have accused Ngrebada of forging very close links with Moscow.
Russian paramilitaries help protect Touadera's government from rebels and also train the country's army.
France has seen its influence in the Central African Republic wane since the entry of Russia in 2018.

“I called my wife outside and I said, ‘Just look at the beauty of what surrounds us,’ ” says Kasich.
If 2017’s Two Paths was a broad-brush rebuke of politicians using extremism and wedge issues to divide Americans, It Starts With Us is more of a handbook for everyday people hoping to navigate that landscape of division without losing themselves.
Kasich wrote the book this spring, after his term as governor ended. The 10 principles inside came to him on a plane flight. He scrawled them on the back of an envelope. The collection of maxims, such as “Love Thy Neighbor” and “Put Yourself In Someone Else’s Shoes,” attempt to calm the squall of uncertainty and anger that now pound the American soul daily. “The most important thing about this book is it’s an antidote to all the political turmoil today,” he says.
In 234 breezy pages organized around his 10 principles, Kasich and his co-author, Daniel Paisner, share inspiring stories about change-makers from across the political spectrum, from teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg (“Start a Movement”) to Kasich’s own longtime press wrangler, Jim Lynch, who got involved in his local government outside of Columbus (“Be Prepared to Walk a Lonely Road”). The stories all add up to principles, and a book, that are larger than politics, Kasich says.
“What we as individuals do to change the world makes all the difference in the world,” he says. “This doesn’t just get to be about political change. It can be about just being kind to somebody. It makes a difference.”

Fana abdominal pain EBP case study
EBP CASE STUDY
Fana is a young mother in a remote district of northwestern Ethiopia who is in the third trimester of her first pregnancy. She has been experiencing abdominal pains for weeks and has almost stopped eating completely. Her legs and feet are severely swollen. Fana’s husband, mother, and mother-in-law have all urged her to “pray harder.” Her husband Abai, in particular, is frantic, offering his own prayers and paying for repeated applications of traditional medicine, which both mothers assure Fana and Abai will work.
When Fana’s pain becomes worse, both mothers take turns applying “holy water” and massaging her abdomen, singing traditional prayer-songs for a safe birth. When Fana asks about traveling to the nearest Doctors Without Borders health care facility, Abai consults prominent members of their community, who strongly discourage this. “She needs to pray more. Remember what happened to two of your neighbors who went there? They died in the facility.”
Abai nods in agreement. Twenty-four hours later, however, Fana shows signs of shock. Under cover of darkness, Abai puts her in a hand-pushed cart and starts running with her to the nearest Doctors Without Borders health care facility, an 8-hour walk away. By the time, he arrives, Fana has septicemia, and as physicians run out of the mud-brick health care facility, Abai steps back out of the way and sinks to the ground, exhausted. Is this a punishment?
Is Fana sicker because he has shown a lack of faith by bringing her here? Is this place going to be the death of her because it is where two of their neighbors have died? Head in his hands, Abai stares at his feet and wonders if he has done the right thing. The 1990s saw the emergence of a landmark study that has influenced the face of maternal mortality particularly in lower income nations. In this study, researchers
Thaddeus and Maine identified three delays that contributed to life-threatening complications and sometimes mortality in women who died of treatable complications in pregnancy:
(1) the delay in seeking care,
(2) the delay in reaching proper medical services, and
(3) the delay in accessing quality care at a health care facility. The reasons behind each of these “delays” are multifactorial and culture, economics, and community based.

Questions: 1. The “three delays” remain crucial to overcoming barriers to life-saving maternal care, but in 2014, Ethiopian physicians offered a follow-up analysis, reporting: “In general, in the Ethiopian context, the contribution of ‘delay I’ to the high maternal and perinatal mortality may be more than that of ’delay II and III.’” What principle of appropriate use of evidence-based practice (EBP) most likely led these researchers to adjust the emphasis placed on the three delays in Thaddeus and Maine’s original work?
2. Berhan and Berhan concluded that although there remains great need to improve conditions related to “delays II and III,” perhaps the greatest efforts should be made to “bring a significant change in the maternal and perinatal mortality, much has to be done in (1) increasing the public awareness on dangers of pregnancy-related complications,
(2) improving education for females and (3) empowering women to make decisions on their own health.” Using Table 10.2 in your text, which core public health function(s) would be applied to these efforts, and what related evidencebased nursing interventions would be most helpful in performing these core public health functions?
3. Which of these related nursing interventions is or are likely to prove to be most challenging?

Research is starting to suggest that urban landscapes that prioritize native species and utilize diverse plant palettes, may be hotspots for supporting our native pollinators (1). These densely planted areas can provide opportunities for pollinators to find food, habitat, and overwintering resources all within a relatively compact space. By contrast, suburban and rural environments may not support pollinators as well as once believed. Even though these areas have more lawn and green space, insects are often plagued by a lack of resources within a forageable distance. The distance between available pollen and nectar sources can be costly, with exposure to chemicals, vehicle collision, and natural predation contributing to loss. Additionally, the presence of sidewalks and concrete, often seen as a negative in urban environments, could actually be a helping hand for cold-blooded insects because these hard surfaces hold onto the sun’s heat. But are urban environments actually seeing higher and more diverse populations of pollinators? This is a tricky question to answer and will require years of research in urban, suburban, exurban, and rural environments all over the world. Fortunately, research is already underway.
This summer, Capital Trees had the opportunity to work with Dr. Nicholas Ruppel, a professor from Randolph-Macon College. The goal was to get a better understanding of what pollinator species might be utilizing our public landscapes. Great Shiplock Park and the Low Line Gardens are located in a uniquely challenging area of downtown Richmond. Sandwiched between Dock Street and the Capital Trail on one side, and the Kanawha Canal on the other, the gardens are fairly isolated and receive high environmental pressure, including increased temperature, above average noise levels, air and water pollution, and a high percentage of impervious surfaces.
With the urban context in mind, we’ve strategically designed the gardens to create a welcoming and stable insect habitat. Since the Low Line’s completion in 2016, Capital Trees has incorporated 75% or higher state native (or relative cultivar) in the garden designs, and prioritized sustainable gardening methods. We’ve eliminated the use of systemic herbicides and pesticides in the beds, which are harmful to pollinators. We also leave leaf litter in the garden beds through the winter to provide safe habitats for overwintering insects. Additionally, hollow stalks from perennial plants are cut to a few feet high and left as available overwintering habitat for tube nesting bees, and bare soil is available as a resource for ground nesters. A diverse plant palette with multi-seasonal blooms provides a range of available pollen and nectar resources for a variety of nectar consuming insects. These efforts should be helpful for pollinators, but do these methods really make a difference? Or will the gardens primarily have generalist species that are scrappy enough to brave their way to the space? Will biodiversity be fairly low overall despite our best efforts to create meaningful and supportive habitat?
Generalist species can feed on a wide variety of food resources and thrive in a range of environments.
Research in the gardens took place from early June through August 2023 and prioritized two main methods to identify pollinator species. First, blooming plants in Great Shiplock Park and along the Low Line were photographed for 10 minute stretches, 2-3 times a week. Every insect that landed on a flower was photographed and documented. This is obviously not a perfect system, as it assumes insects will still land if people are present next to the plant, and allows for species to be missed if they land while another insect is being photographed. To help supplement this method and get a sense of the insects that were using the space outside of the active research window, Bee Bowls (2) were set up adjacent to some of the more active plants. Bright yellow bowls were filled with a mixture of soap and water and placed at plant flower height. This part of the process is tremendously valuable. This system allows an accurate capture of species that might be present when people are not, and allows for proper identification of species that are too small to identify by eye. Additionally, many of our 4,000 species of native bees have yet to have their genome recorded. Species collected with no current genomic record on file can have their DNA sent away to help with future research.
Though it is still too early for conclusive results on what was observed, we do have a general idea of some common genus, and select species, that were repeatedly recorded. Throughout the summer four separate species of Bumble bee (Bombus spp.) were noted. Carpenter bees (Xylocopa spp.), iridescent green sweat bees (Agapostemon), Long horned bees (Melissodes), and several different species of leaf cutter/resin bees (Megachile spp.) utilized plants in the gardens. Skippers were a common sight as July gave way to August, as well as snowberry clearwing moths (Hemaris diffinis), hover flies, and a range of wasps, which utilize these food sources and are important parts of the ecosystem even if they aren’t strong pollinators. Also documented were nonnative species like the European honeybee (Apis mellifera), the alfalfa leafcutter bee (Megachile rotundata), and the European wool carder bee (Anthidium manicatum).
There is still a long way to go towards understanding the full scope of species present at Great Shiplock Park and the Low Line, and there is no official conclusion on the current data at this point. It is safe to say this research has provided a very exciting first step. Perhaps most exciting is the wealth of possible questions that can continue to be asked moving forward. Where are the bumble bees or pseudo social bees nesting? Are the more specialist species using the cultivars as much as the true native plants that are available? What species are present in the gardens that were not observed, or are the gardens supporting any highly specialized, rare, or endangered species? Needless to say, we are excited about the garden’s ability to increase our understanding, and continue to create more meaningful habitat for our pollinators, while also engaging and creating welcoming spaces for our human visitors too!

RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Immigration reform amnesty for illegal aliens has failed to pass in 2013 due to lobbying efforts from activists who represent the majority of American citizens opposed to such legislation and due to the political quagmires on the budget and healthcare.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is announcing the Defeat of Amnesty 2013 which has been the national organization's year long focus and battle cry while also pointing out that immigration reform amnesty for illegal aliens is likely doomed for the next three years.
"The off election year of 2014 and the resulting loss of amnesty supporters who will be defeated by the public next year will shut down legislative amnesty, hopefully for three years!" said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "The invasion and amnesty supporters have made a big tactical mistake. We stopped them from getting their Amnesty bill to Obama's desk and now we know which Republicans and Democrats need to be thrown out of office in 2014."
ALIPAC is focusing attention on a list the group is circulating of 35 GOP members of Congress who have been detected secretly working with the Obama administration to pass amnesty for illegal aliens. Four incumbent GOP members of the Senate up for reelection in 2014 are similarly targeted for removal.
Removing lawmakers who support immigration reform amnesty from office will occur because a large majority of Americans do not support a path to citizenship for illegal aliens that would in turn create a new voting bloc of prior illegals in American elections which would permanently destroy all borders and immigration law enforcement. Speaker Boehner knows this and has told business leaders he will help Pelosi and Obama pass amnesty after filing closes in 2014.
While illegal alien invasion supporters tell the media they hope to eventually overwhelm American defenders through continued illegal immigration and very high birth rates among the new arrivals, and that they want Obama to increase his risk of impeachment by further violating the Constitution with decreed amnesty, ALIPAC is encouraged by this change in the tide of the struggle.

20年来，WITec已经成长为世界知名的共聚焦拉曼成像系统制造商，也充分体现着德国品质的内涵。WITec的第一套设备——扫描近场光学显微镜（SNOM/NSOM）至今还在稳定高效地运转，伊利诺伊大学Urbana-Champaign分校Frederick Seitz材料研究实验室的资深研究员Julio Soares博士表示：“实验室当时购买了WITec的第一套NSOM设备，我们很荣幸成为WITec进一步发展的基石并得以载入WITec公司史册。在我看来，几乎不需要任何技术支持但设备还在持续运转，这本身就是一项很大的成就。
Innovations in Profilometer-guided Raman Imaging
WITec, the inventor of topographic Raman imaging, has presented at Pittcon 2017 in Chicago the next generation of its patented TrueSurface optical profilometer. The combination of surface analysis and Raman spectral acquisition enables topographic Raman imaging on rough and uneven samples. One-pass simultaneous operation makes 3D Raman chemical characterization easier and faster than ever before.
We have documented the TrueSurface in a video.
“WITec established Raman topographic imaging with TrueSurface. We then continued to innovate, leveraging the inherent strengths of our systems,” says Dr. Olaf Hollricher, Managing Director of R&D at WITec. “The overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers confirms that chemical 3D surface analysis with TrueSurface is a successful concept with an enthusiastic following in academia and industry.”
With the TrueSurface option, Raman spectra are acquired from precisely along a surface, or at a set, user-defined distance from a surface. This makes the distribution of chemical components within the sample visible in three dimensions. Rough, inclined or irregularly-shaped samples can be investigated with the same ease as standard samples. The requirements of sample preparation can therefore be drastically reduced.
As the TrueSurface sensor actively monitors and maintains a set distance between the objective and sample surface, its closed-loop operation can compensate for any variations during measurements with long integration times. This keeps the measurement area in focus at all times and produces sharp chemical Raman images with sub-micrometer resolution.
Investigations on pharmaceutical tablet coatings, geological samples, composite emulsions, complex semiconductor structures and many other applications can benefit from the ease of use, accelerated workflow and methodological advantages provided by the new TrueSurface.
“TrueSurface is for everybody who wants to just take a sample, as it is, and put it under a microscope for chemical analysis,” explains Dr. Joachim Koenen, Managing Director at WITec. "Also, the combination of confocal Raman imaging and optical profilometry provides additional information on the chemical distribution of the sample components that are of great benefit to our customers."
When did life on Earth begin? Based on new Raman data from microfossils, scientists have dated the origin of life to at least 3,77 billion years ago.
Bubbling submarine-hydrothermal vents are believed to be the places where life on Earth emerged. Whether that happened 3.5 or 3.7 billion years ago or even further into the past is subject of intense discussion in the scientific community. Why? Because it is hard to determine whether or not chemical traces in very old sedimentary rocks– so called microfossils – are metamorphosed products of biological organisms. Dominic Papineau, a geologist who has long followed the tracks of early life, and PhD student Matthew Dodd, both from University College London (UK), along with colleagues used a microscopic approach to look for the answer. With optical microscopy they imaged thin sections from fragments found in the Nuvvuagittuq Supracrustal Belt (NSB) in Canada that once belonged to a very early oceanic crust. They identified 50 – 200 μm rosette-like structures.
Through chemical imaging performed with a WITec alpha300R confocal Raman microscope, the scientists could identify the compounds – calcite, haematite, quartz, magnetite and apatite - therein and their spatial distribution. Modern iron-oxidizing bacteria living in hot vents can form Fe-containing filaments and tubes. For that reason scientists believe that similar structures in much older rocks indicated biogenic origin. Similar structures found in Løkken jasper in Norway that geologically is somewhat younger than the NSB had already been attributed to mineralized bacteria. So the authors of the current study suggested that the carbonate rosettes they had seen are also of biogenic origin. They concluded: “Preservation in the NSV of carbonaceous material and minerals in diagenetic rosettes and granules that formed from the oxidation of biomass, together with the presence of tubes similar in mineralogy and morphology to those in younger jaspers interpreted as microfossils, reveal that life established a habitat near submarine-hydrothermal vents before 3,770 Myr ago and possibly as early as 4,290 Myr ago”.
In an email, Dominic Papineau wrote: “We used the WITec micro-Raman to map, down to sub-micron scales, the minerals associated with the oldest microfossils on Earth. This was vital to the discovery of key structures like rosettes, granules as well as minerals associated with the filamentous microfossils such as micron-size apatite, carbonate, and graphitic carbon, all of which point to the metamorphosed mineralised product of decayed microbial organic matter.”
Advanced functionality, accelerated workflow and enhanced hardware control
WITec, manufacturer of Raman and scanning-probe microscopes, presents a new operating concept with the powerful and intuitive Suite FIVE at Pittcon 2017. Sophisticated features and hands-on control transform the user experience, enabling the researcher to move from setup to results with unprecedented ease. Suite FIVE provides an integrated tool for data acquisition, evaluation and post-processing that enables researchers to quickly extract key information from their experiments. All Raman, AFM, SNOM and WITec correlative microscopy measurement modes are supported.
“Suite FIVE combines new functionality with a simplified operating concept that encompasses both software and hardware. The greater automation and intuitive interface speed up the process and improves the results of data acquisition and analysis. It’s altogether more accessible and powerful,” says Dr. Joachim Koenen, Managing Director at WITec.
Suite FIVE introduces several features for enhanced performance and usability:
A new software wizard guides the user through the complete investigation, from initial settings and acquisition through data and image post-processing. Presets and highlighted analytical paths accelerate the generation of high-quality images.
TrueComponent Analysis is a unique post-processing function for confocal Raman imaging measurements that automatically establishes the number of components in a sample, locates them in the image, and differentiates their individual spectra. This delivers meaningful, comprehensive information with one operation.
Hardware control from within the software has also been strengthened. The new handheld multifunction controller EasyLink provides a tactile and intuitive interface for directing the motorized stages, white light illumination, laser power, autofocus, cantilever positioning and objective selection with the new automated turret. This further integration of WITec’s hardware and software provides greater synergy and speed while transforming the user experience.
“TrueComponent Analysis is the standout technical achievement, without peer in the industry, though all the new features contribute to a transformed user experience. These are results-oriented developments with benefits that will be immediately apparent to the researcher,” says Dr. Olaf Hollricher, Managing Director of R&D at WITec.
WITec Suite FIVE will be presented at Pittcon 2017 Conference & Expo at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois from March 5th to the 9th. See all the new WITec developments at booth #1638.

Antimatter, "Lights Out"
Antimatter is back with a follow-up to last year's Savior. Musically a bit more primal nonetheless as emotionally charged, Duncan Patterson and Co. have discovered a more simplified way to express sad feelings. The band utilizes the "less is more" approach: fairly basic song structures that rely on piano, acoustic guitars, and drum loops while gentle male and female vocals carry the listener into the band's rendition of the trip hop genre.
Due to a straightforward nature of these songs, comparisons to such acts as Portishead and Massive Attack are inevitable, and rightfully so. Tracks like Lights Out, Expire, and Reality Clash bear a strong semblance to the aforementioned bands. This is Antimatter's main flaw on Lights Out. Not that these songs are weak; they're not. Simply they fail to bring something new to the table, something that will detach Antimatter from other bands in the genre.
Still, there are songs like Everything You Know is Wrong, In Stone, and Reality Clash that possess an attribute sorely missing in a scene dominated by female vocals: relaxing male singing courtesy of Mick Moss. This, along with deeply moving keyboard melody at the end of Dream (3:58), are a few of the elements that Antimatter should build upon on its upcoming releases. So far so good, but I expect the next album by these Britts to be a real knockout.

VIVA – Hyundai is busy preparing to launch its new car in order to compete in the international market. The new model is named Stargazer, which is an MPV or Multi Purpose Vehicle.
Later, the vehicle will compete from several car manufacturers such as Suzuki Ertiga, Toyota Avanza, Honda Mobilio, and Mitsubishi Xpander.
Some time ago, the Hyundai Stargazer had several times been caught doing road testing. This was done in several countries, from South Korea to India.
Quoted VIVA Automotive from GaadiWaadi, Tuesday 10 May 2022, this latest model will be available in six variants with a choice of manual and automatic transmissions. It is reported that the power of this new vehicle uses a four-cylinder gasoline engine.
It is known, the engine has a capacity of 1.5 liters which is the same as other products in the MPV segment. Its ability is to produce power of 115 horsepower with peak torque reaching 144 Newton meters.
The Hyundai Stargazer will most likely make its global debut in Indonesia in the near future. Before then they introduced it in other countries, such as Russia and India.

There’s a good reason why Rihanna named her Unapologetic duet withChris Brown, “Nobody’s Business.”
Given how much speculation goes on about the true nature of the Rih/Brown relationship (they broke up in 2009 after he assaulted her and have recently sparked reconciliation rumors), fans might want to know why they decided to work together on the throwback love jam. Her reason? “It’s nobody’s business,” she tells Complex magazine about the chatter surrounding them and the track.
When further prodded about the song in the cover story, she responds, “It’s a fun record that The-Dream wrote, and we loved the lyrics. You’re still asking me questions about it, so clearly you don’t know.”
Her label is taking a cue from her playbook on how to address the track. Roc Nation exec Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith notes that while the song wasn’t intended to be a Rihanna/Brown collaboration, in the end, it became one. The scrutiny and gossip surrounding them was not factored into the decision to make it so.
“We don’t focus on the media, so it was never a question. It’s all about the music. Everything else doesn’t even play a part in the studio,” he explains in the magazine, noting that Rihanna’s longtime mentor Jay-Z also signed off on it. “The-Dream didn’t write it for them as a duet. Jay-Z and I were in the car together listening to the song, and we thought it would be a great duet. It sounds dope. It feels good. That’s how Chris ended up on the song.”
It was hardly the first time that Rihanna and The-Dream worked with Brown on music in a post-assault world. Last year, long before they became more public with one another, they appeared on remixes of each other’s songs; his “Turn Up the Music” and a new version of her Talk That Talk tune, “Birthday Cake.” The-Dream was a part of the process of bringing the new “Birthday Cake” to life, and he shared with MTV News that it was her idea to work with Brown again.

A Lost Photo of Director Larry Buchanan, Celebrated “Schlockmeister” — 1955
by Paula Bosse
Larry Buchanan (in bowtie) in his ad-man days, 1955
by Paula Bosse
I got all excited when I saw the above photo posted in the Lone Star Library Annex Facebook group. It accompanied an article and another photo from the Katy Employes’ Magazine (August, 1955) (seen below) — the poster was interested in the railroad-angle of the article and photos, but the name “Larry Buchanan” was what grabbed my attention.
The photo was posted because it was a wonderful piece of M-K-T Railroad-related ephemera. Before reading the accompanying text, I thought that the idea of a 1955 Chrysler tricked-out to ride along Katy railroad tracks (so that M-K-T officials could, presumably, ride the rails in comfortable air-conditioned splendor as they moved from one inspection site to the next) was the cool thing about the article. Then I got to the name “Larry Buchanan.” And it became much, MUCH more interesting.
So who is Larry Buchanan? Briefly, Larry Buchanan is one of the greatest exponents of grade-Z, low-low-low-LOW-budget filmmaking, a director with a cult following amongst those who enjoy movies in the “so-bad-they’re-good” genre. He shot most of his movies in the 1960s in Dallas, taking advantage of lots of locations around the city, even if the movies he was shooting weren’t actually set in Dallas (one movie had Highland Park Village standing in for Italy, and “Mars Needs Women” was set in Houston, even though the movie is crammed full of easily recognizable Dallas locations such as the downtown skyline and the Cotton Bowl). The movies that have earned him his place in the pantheon of cult figures are primarily his sci-fi movies, like “Mars Needs Women,” “Attack of the Eye People,” “Curse of the Swamp Creature,” and “Zontar: The Thing from Venus.” Many were re-makes of earlier low-budget sci-fi movies commissioned by American International Pictures, and Buchanan was usually the producer, director, writer, and editor — “auteur” seems like the wrong word to use here, but that’s what he was, a filmmaker intensely involved with every phase of the production.
Buchanan was born in 1923 and grew up in Buckner Orphans Home. After a fleeting thought of becoming a minister, Buchanan — long-fascinated by movies — left for Hollywood and New York where he worked as an actor in small roles or on the crew (during this time there were professional brushes with, of all people, George Cukor and Stanley Kubrick). By the early 1950s, Buchanan was back in Dallas, employed by the Jamieson Film Company (3825 Bryan St.), working on industrial films, training films, television programs, and commercials. It was at Jamieson that he learned all aspects of film production, including how to get things done quickly and how to bring projects in under budget. It’s also where he met co-workers Brownie Brownrigg, Robert B. Alcott, Bob Jessup, and Bill Stokes, all of whom went on to have film careers of their own and most of whom Buchanan used as crew members when shooting in and around the city.
It was during this period that the photo above was taken. There are countless websites out there devoted to Larry Buchanan’s film oeuvre, but there are very, very few photos of him online. I found exactly three:
Larry (left) with cinematographer Bob Jessup
In 1986 (Tim Boole/Texas Monthly)
The photo at the top of this post is from 1955, before Buchanan had really begun cranking out his own movies. I can’t say for sure that this IS a photograph of Larry Buchanan, but it seems likely that it is.
In that striped shirt, he looks like the kind of hip, energetic, ever-enthusiastic director I imagine him being. I can only hope that it IS him, straddling railroad ties, behind a camera pointed at a retrofitted Chrysler, in Dallas’ Katy railyard. One wonders if that Chrysler spot had a higher budget than some of the movies he was making ten years later. UPDATE: In the comments, below, Larry’s son Barry identifies his father in the top photo, but not as the man behind the camera, but as the man behind the car, wearing the bowtie. Thanks for the correction, Barry1)
From all reports, Larry was a tireless, driven, upbeat guy who loved making movies, and I think it would have been a lot of fun hanging out with him. If I ever have enough disposable income, I’ll fork it over and buy a copy of his entertaining-but-pricey autobiography, the well-received It Came From Hunger: Tales of a Cinema Schlockmeister (McFarland & Co., 1996).
It’s been fun researching Larry Buchanan. There’s a lot more to tackle later. I mean, I haven’t even touched on the legendary “Naughty Dallas” yet!

Black and white photo of Buchanan with Bob Jessup (photographer and date unknown) and the great color photo (a detail of which is shown above) by Tim Boole, both from the article, “How Bad Were They?” by Douglass St. Clair Smith (Texas Monthly, May 1986), which you can read here.
That last photo of Buchanan is all over the internet — the only one you ever really see. I don’t know who took it, when it was taken, or where it originally appeared. But it’s a great photo!
Larry Buchanan died in December, 2004, at the age of 81. His obituary from The New York Times is here.
A fond look back at Buchanan’s career by Eric Celeste appeared in the April 2005 issue of D Magazine and can be read here.
The best piece on Buchanan is “A Tribute to Larry Buchanan” by his good friend Greg Goodsell, here.
My recent post on “Mars Needs Women” — with screen caps of movie scenes shot at recognizable Dallas locations — is here.
I never did find that Chrysler spot that had been slated to appear on network TV. I have a feeling it may be in a lengthy collection of Chrysler commercials and films from 1955 which you can watch here. I couldn’t slog all the way through it, but there are a couple of “Shower of Stars” episodes, which are mentioned in the Katy article (they’re odd “entertainment” shows which seem to be nothing more than infomercials for Chrysler starring famous people in bad sketches). If anyone actually finds footage that was filmed that day in Dallas, please let me know!
And, lastly, Larry Buchanan’s movies are fun, but some are more fun than others, “if you know what I mean, and I think you do” (as Joe Bob Briggs — surely one of Larry’s biggest admirers — might say). Many of them are available to watch in their entirety online. Check YouTube and Google.

Fascinating — I can’t wait to see some of these — looks like there are a couple available for streaming or DVD on Netflix:
Thanks! The ones I’ve watched are on YouTube. Unless you’re a fan of the sub-sub-genre of super-low-budget horror and sci-fi, you may find the best thing about them is trying to figure out where they were shot around town. I actually kind of liked Mars Need Women. If it had been at least 20-30 minutes shorter it would have been MUCH better.

While we have come a long way in the fight for justice, we still have much further to go. I believe in the value and rights of every resident of this country. I have proudly fought for those rights. In the early 2000s, I provided free legal services for federal inmates so they continue their gender transition therapies while behind bars. I also worked to reduce discrimination in housing and lending. While at St. Jude Medical, I wrote the company’s policy on gender transition. I’ve also officiated marriages and baptisms for same gender couples and their children. I will always fight for the rights and privileges of our LGBTQIA+ community here in the Fifth and beyond.
In the recent past few decades, we’ve seen the values of equality and love triumph and rightly include LGBTQIA+ members of our American family. We’ve won the fight for marriage equality, reduced areas of formal discrimination, and expanded rights for those in the LGBTQIA+ community. But that work is far from done. We have many battles still to fight for the cause of justice. The Trump administration has created more fronts where we must fight and prevail, including rolling back protections in healthcare and education, to social services and the military. In Congress, I will not only hold the line against this administration’s backward and harmful policies, but will author and support legislation that builds on our past successes and creates a truly equal future.
I applaud the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Bostock v. Clayton County that federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex includes protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. This decision extends long overdue Title VII employment protections to LGBTQIA+ individuals. By defining “sex” to include sexual orientation and gender identity, the Court ruling also expands anti-discrimination protections in other areas that have language banning discrimination on the basis of sex, including education and health care.
However, there are still areas in which we must fight to ensure that LGBTQIA+ individuals are afforded the same rights and protections as all Americans. These include protections against discrimination in housing and in federal grants, as well as the Trump Administration’s ban on transgender military service. In Congress, I will work to ensure that LGBTQIA+ individuals are protected from discrimination in these areas as well. We must also hold the Administration accountable for swiftly reversing its discriminatory rules in light of the Bostock decision. We cannot allow justice to be further delayed.
The difficulty faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples seeking to adopt children needing loving forever families has a particular place in my heart. I’ve worked as an advocate for children in the foster care system, helping them find the homes they deserve. The challenge and uncertainty they face is cruelly made more difficult by the unnecessary obstacles these would-be parents must often overcome simply on the basis of their gender identity or sexual orientation. We need national reform that removes those barriers and allows more loving parents and deserving kids to find each other. I will make this a priority, and I’d be honored to write that legislation.
We have to do more to address suicide and mental health services as a whole in this country. But within that larger lens, the reality of teen suicide rates among LGBTQIA+ individuals is a tragedy that stands is unacceptable. An LGB youth is nearly 5 times more likely to attempt suicide compared to heterosexual youth. Over a third of transgender youth attempted suicide in the last year. We can end this crisis by investing in mental health and anti-bullying resources in our schools. We can better fund family and suicide prevention services, and set the goal of ending LGBTQIA+ teen homelessness. We must do better.
We should honor every American who chooses to put on a uniform and serve our country. It is the right of every LGBTQIA+ citizen to make that choice, and I will fight to restore that. The first step will be to reverse the Trump administration’s ban on transgender servicemembers but this right must be codified in law.
