Because Hummer is gone now, Hennessey Performance specialists have decided it was time to get a big SUV and this is what they came up with after a lot of thinking and analyzing. The specialists had a proposal involving the VelociRaptor SUV that has as base the Ford F-150 Raptor Pickup truck. The engineers have done their best to turn it into something people would definitely buy. The new SUV has enough space for 8 people and picks up where the Ford Excursion left off, we might say.
The new model was developed for the ones that have really enjoyed the Ford Raptor, but that wanted more space and more seats for the occupants. This is what Don Goldman, Hennessey Performance CEO declared. Even though the transformation uses all of the factory Ford Raptor truck components and systems, the tuner said that they have not tested the off-road capabilities and this is why they recommend customers to use the VelociRaptor SUV for on-road as well as light to moderate off-road duties. The engineers have also added up to 272 kg and maybe this has to do with the restriction mentioned above. Under the hood, the vehicle hides a 6.2-liter V8 engine, just like the Raptor, capable of generating 411 horsepower.
The VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged is capable of generating 600 horsepower. This output enables the car to reach accelerate from 0 to 60 ph in 7.5 seconds and the 600 horsepower-model can reach 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. There are no details on the fuel consumption, but we do know that the starting price was established at $149.500. The tuner will only build 30 units per year and will have a lot of equipment like Brembo front brakes and also larger wheel and tires, and a lot more.

When Gary told me last week that he would need my help with “pulling wire”, I was delighted! Â Because I had experience in pulling wire. Or so I thought. Remember our Montrose project and all that wire we pulled?
I learned about marking the wire
How you attach a rope on the end and then feed it through a pipe to where it needs to go –
And then you keep pulling it until you have enough pulled through to get to where it needs to go.
And voila – Neat and tidy and where it all belongs. (Thanks to a guy way smarter in wire things than me!)
Looking back, it all seems so civilized.
This Wire Pulling directive was something entirely different.
First of all the wire. None of that sweet little thermostat wire this time.
We were into the Big Stuff. The Let’s-get-the-power-to-the-rooms wire.
The good news was that we were using 250 ft. coils so that several “home runs” could be done at the same time. The bad news was that we were using 250 ft. coils so unrolling them was something of a challenge. Our first try was not so successful.
Way too spirally to run around the outside channel and actually work with.
Nope. That was not going to work.
So they put together a wire “dispenser” where we could load up 5 rolls at one time.
Once again (just like the more civilized wire pulling) we made sure the ends were marked
and Gary wrapped them all together with the rope and started feeding it to Norm (up on the landing).
Hi, Norm! It’s coming, it’s coming….
Here you go!
Since these coils of wire are not on spools themselves, we couldn’t just pull them up and expect them to unwind. Instead of unwinding, Â they would just get tighter and tighter. It was my job to manually unwind all 5 rolls at the same time (well, more or less) while one of the guys was pulling it off the ‘dispenser’ while Norm was pulling it up to the second floor, while the other guys were pulling it all around the outside of the building.
repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat…….
When we had unrolled enough, the guys at the other end of the would work to get it situated into the correct channels.
Needless to say, this was a group project on so very many levels! So far we’ve done 8 runs of wire (5 rolls each). Between the actual “pulling”, Gary gets busy organizing them all!
As he runs the wire to the various outlets and switches, he somehow keeps everything straight,
in a language that I can’t even begin to understand.
While I always enjoy working with Gary, this last stint of wire pulling has made me appreciate anew the more traditional SOWER lady jobs –
Like the mailing we helped with on Monday.
🙂 It’s all good, friends.

HONG KONG, 15 June 2000 - Xircom, Inc. (Nasdaq: XIRC), a provider of mobile information access solutions, announced
its acquisition of Omnipoint Technologies, Inc. (OTI), a wholly owned subsidiary of VoiceStream Wireless Corporation
This acquisition is a key element of Xircom's strategy to be a total provider of wireless data solutions for Wide Area, Personal Area, and Local Area Networks.
Under the terms of the agreement, VoiceStream will become a minority investor in Xircom by holding 1,201,079 shares of Xircom common stock to be exchanged for all outstanding shares of OTI.
Based on Xircom's June 12, 2000, closing price, the stock exchanged would have a value of $52.2 million.
In addition, Xircom assumes certain liabilities, and unvested employee stock options with an in-the-money value of approximately $8.3 million as of June 9, 2000.
This acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase, and Xircom expects to incur a charge to earnings related to the write-off of purchased in-process research and development of between $15 and $25 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The transaction is expected to close within three weeks.
Xircom expects the acquisition to become accretive to earnings in the second year of operations. The acquisition has been approved by the board of directors of each company and is subject to various closing conditions. Robert R. Stapleton, President and Director of VoiceStream will accept a seat on Xircom's Board of Directors.
The acquisition of OTI enhances Xircom's wireless position by adding Wide Area Network (WAN), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) products and technology to its wireless data access solutions.
Recently, OTI has focused on creating wireless data products based on GPRS technology and Xircom will leverage this expertise to move into current and next generation wireless solutions.
"The combination of Xircom's expertise in mobile data devices and OTI's GPRS technology will bring users unparalleled mobile access and connectivity," said Bo Piekarski, Vice-President of Strategic Business Initiatives for OTI.
"Xircom's acquisition of OTI and alliance with VoiceStream will provide Xircom with access to a new market with 250 million worldwide GSM customers today," said John Stanton, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of VoiceStream.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS works in conjunction with the GSM voice network and is expected to be available in all areas where there is GSM coverage.
GPRS enables mobile users to access the Internet, retrieve email, and connect to home and office networks with speeds up to 115 Kbps, depending upon the network operator's service offerings.
It is anticipated that network operators will roll out GPRS in late 2000 or early 2001.
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is an international digital radio standard, created by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.
Developed to allow users to roam freely among markets, it has become the globally accepted standard since the first systems began commercial operation in 1991.
Adopted by 142 countries, GSM is the most widely used digital wireless standard in the world with approximately 300 million subscribers on six continents.
In North America, GSM serves 3.6 million customers, with approximately 11 new cities going online each day.
GSM offers unprecedented international and domestic roaming advantages to wireless consumers.
Based in Bellevue, WA, VoiceStream Wireless provides wireless communications services in the United States. VoiceStream Wireless with Cook Inlet Region Inc., has licenses to provide service to over 218 million people with operating systems in the United States.
VoiceStream is a member of the North American GSM Alliance LLC, a group of U.S. and Canadian digital wireless PCS carriers. The GSM Alliance helps provide GSM wireless communications for their customers in more than 4,000 U.S. and Canadian cities and towns as well as international service.
In February 2000, VoiceStream acquired Omnipoint Corporation, the parent of OTI and Omnipoint Communications, a GSM carrier. VoiceStream is retaining all Omnipoint Communications' networks and FCC licenses.

Ngati Hine Health Trust Centre, Kawakawa
The design of the health centre, explores traditional Māori themes of creation, rongo?, and whenua. We have interpreted these themes to produce a modern architecture, rich in the culture of its place.
‘Creation’ is symbolised by the void at the heart of the building, filled with a single tree representing Tane – separating Ranginui, the sky above, from Papa, earth mother, below. Green walls surround this space representing Tane’s offspring, filled with traditional rongoa medicinal plants.
Outside the building appears as an island, growing out of the earth, just as in Māori tradition where all life is seen as being born from the womb of Papatūānuku from under the sea.
Everywhere, passive environmental design is Integrated into these symbolic features. The earth bank and pool cool the building naturally, the glazing provides natural light and heat, whilst the pool is a reservoir for irrigation.

Gynecologic Care is one of three texts addressing the key pillars of the practice of obstetrics and gynecology: office practice, obstetrics, and gynecology. It joins Office Care of Women and Obstetric Care in a series that covers the breadth of the Ob/Gyn specialty. The focus of Gynecologic Care is on gynecologic care including appropriate evaluation, medical therapy, and surgical management of both benign and malignant conditions. A unique section called “General Considerations” rounds out coverage of materials seen as essential knowledge for Ob/Gyn physicians by leaders in the specialty.
We all strive to provide the best evidence-based care; this book not only delivers attention to disease process and effective treatment, but also identifies the context in which clinicians deliver care. Concise yet comprehensive chapters address clinical diagnoses and surgical procedures. The 45 chapters in Gynecologic Care include not only surgical and conservative management, but also information on cultural issues, ethical considerations, and patient safety. The textbook reviews other important issues, which impact the ways we serve our patients including legal considerations, practice management, and maintenance of physicians’ health.
As with the other texts in this series, the book is designed to be easily readable from beginning to end. The reader will develop a solid understanding of the diagnosis and management of gynecologic conditions, including both medical and surgical therapy. We hope that the book will serve as a reference for day-to-day practice and a springboard from which a clinician may explore a topic in more depth by guiding him or her to review the referenced literature.
In an era of rapidly expanding medical knowledge, this book creates a foundation for excellent gynecologic care for the women we serve and thus promotes their well-being and that of their families.

Binance is in talks with local partners in South Korea for potential launch of a new subsidiary.
Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by daily trading volume to date, is reportedly planning to set up a branch in South Korea.
Malta-based crypto exchange Binance is working with local partners in South Korea to launch a new exchange in the country, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) revealed, according to a report by crypto media outlet Block In Press on July 16.
CZ reportedly said that the company does not know the details of the establishment of the new office in South Korea.
However, a global representative of Binance denied the news in the report, claiming that Binance team has not decided to date whether or not to establish a Korean subsidiary. Specifically, the unnamed representative clarified that Binance has been in talks with South Korea-based fintech firm BxB, but they have not made any specific decisions so far.
Another Binance spokesperson said that the question of launching a local branch in South Korea is “not the case” to date, according to a report by crypto media outlet The Block.
Previously, Binance CEO hinted at a potential expansion to South Korea at the Blockchain Partners Summit in Seoul in July 2018. At the time, CZ highlighted the importance of the South Korean market and said that Binance would contribute to help grow its cryptocurrency industry.
Recently, major global exchange Huobi officially announced plans to expand operations to Turkey, where 20% of residents are reported to hold some form of crypto.

A Syracuse doctor is taking a one-of-a-kind approach to save lives with a program that uses intensive psychotherapy to get to the root of the problem that is causing children to try to take their own lives.
Inside the Upstate Psychiatric Center on the edge of downtown Syracuse, there is something unique happening. It is a specialty suicide prevention program that is helping to save lives. "The only one in the country or the world is actually in Syracuse," said Dr. Robert Gregory, the founder of the Psychiatry High Risk Program.
Dr. Gregory launched the program in 2017 primarily to treat people 16 to 40-years-old. Five years later, it continues to expand. "We've had so many patients come into the program and say this is my last resort," Dr. Gregory told NBC3 Anchor Megan Coleman this past spring.
Last year, the program saw 151 new patients comes through its doors. A third of them were children.
"During the pandemic and especially over the last year, we saw more and more younger teens and actually even pre-teens showing up in the emergency room with suicide attempt. It's kind of mind blowing even for me." - Dr. Robert Gregory, Psychiatry High Risk Program
So he decided to start taking patients as young as 14-years-old. Kids who were struggling so much they were thinking about harming themselves or attempting suicide. "There are studies indicating the more time spent on social media, the worse the mental health is for the adolescents," Dr. Gregory said. During the years of the pandemic, children did much of their learning on devices and interacting with their friends online.
Recognizing the need, Dr. Gregory assembled a team of 10 mental health professionals who developed a special adolescent program with therapists dedicated to treating kids. The approach was to dig deeper to deal with the underlying issues that were leading kids to think suicide was the only way out of their pain. "So we're really trying to heal from the inside out. Get at the root of what's driving the suicide, what's driving some of these problems," he said.
Dr. Gregory says MRI studies show suicidal people have an impaired emotional processing system where higher levels of their brain shut down and go on autopilot. The lower areas light up, causing people to act impulsively. Dr. Gregory's team uses therapy to try to heal their brain from the inside out. "They have atrophy or dysfunction of these different brain areas and we're really trying to remediate that, have them process their emotions in a different way. Get their emotion processing system back online," Dr. Gregory said.
The program couples weekly individual therapy with medications along with family and group therapy as needed. Within three to six months, Dr. Gregory says patients start seeing significant improvement. The next six months are spent in therapy, focusing on healing, self-acceptance and self-compassion while dealing with the grief and loss that has brought them here. "So that for those very high risk kids, there is somewhere to go that can provide the treatment that they need to keep them out of the hospital and keep them safe," he said.
The program boasts a 94% success rate. It is typically covered by insurance, and they are still accepting patients.

Zenna Henderson is best remembered for her stories of the People which appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction from the early ’50s to the mid-’70s. The People escaped the destruction of their home planet and crashed on Earth in the Southwest just before the turn of the century. Fully human in appearance, they possessed many extraordinary powers. Henderson’s People stories tell of their struggles to fit in and to live their lives as ordinary people, unmolested by fearful and ignorant neighbors. The People are “us at our best, as we hope to be, and where (with work and with luck) we may be in some future.”
Ingathering contains all seventeen of the People stories, including one, “Michal Without,” which has never before been published.

Heat Stroke in Dogs: What is it, how to treat it, and how to prevent it
As we approach the warm summer months, it becomes less comfortable to be outside for extended periods of time. If we, as humans, are hot, how do you think your dog feels? Dogs feel the heat as much and more than we do and are not as efficient at cooling themselves off. Dogs pant to cool down; they do not have the ability to sweat. When a dog begins to overheat, the symptoms can be more subtle and much more dangerous if not recognized and treated.
Some of the major symptoms of impending heat stroke in dogs are:
· Rapid panting
· Thick drool
· Bright red and/or swollen tongue
· Unsteadiness on their feet
· Rapid or weak heartbeat
· Wide eyes
· Nose, legs and ears hot to the touch
· Bloody diarrhea
If your dog has been outside on a hot day or in a car and you see any of these signs, you must begin treatment. A dog’s normal body temperature is around 101 to 102 degrees. Anything above this and your dog has a “fever” or is beginning to overheat. At around 106 degrees, brain damage, organ failure and death can result rather quickly. It is imperative that you act fast and do not ignore these symptoms.
Begin cooling the dog as soon as possible. Get your dog out of the sun and begin using cool or cold water to wet your dog down. A hose is ideal, as the circulating water over your dog will continue to penetrate the coat and keep the cooling process going. A tub of water is not the best option because the water will sit on the coat and will actually warm and insulate the dog from cool water around it. Try to run the hose water over your dog while he is in front of a fan as this will encourage the water to evaporate and make the cooling process more effective. You will also want to wet some towels in cold water and place them on the dog’s neck, head, stomach and groin area.
Keep an eye on their temperature by using a rectal thermometer. If you see their temperature begin to drop to around 104 or 103, stop the cooling process!!! Once a dog’s body begins to cool, it can drop quickly and getting them too cool can create different problems. Dry the dog off once the temp starts going down and get him to the vet as soon as possible. The vet will determine if more treatment is needed or if any lasting damage has occurred.
One thing you don’t want to do right away is allow your dog to drink a lot of water. If a dog is panting excessively and then drinks a lot of water, he will swallow a good amount of air with the water and that can cause an equally life-threatening case of bloat in their stomach. Allow the dog only a couple of laps of water until their temperature begins to drop to a more normal level. Also, do not swim your dog and then leave them in an enclosed kennel or a hot car wet as this will create a sauna effect and only worsen the heat stroke. Make sure your dog is dry and cooled before putting him in his kennel.
There are simple ways to ensure that your dog stays safe and doesn’t suffer from heat stroke. The primary way is to keep them out of the hot sun during the heat of the day. Make sure your dog has adequate shade all day long if he is going to remain out doors and provide water continuously that can’t be tipped over. Do not chain your dog in an area where he can circle and wrap his chain or tether to the point that it is too short to reach water or shade. Keep in mind that shade moves throughout the day and your dog must be able to reach it all day long.
Also, never, never leave your dog in the car on a hot day. In a matter of 10 minutes, your car can escalate in temperature up to 40 degrees hotter than the outside temperature. Rolling the windows down will not do much to help unless there is a strong wind. If you must have your dog with you in the car during the summer, you should take him out of the car when you stop for a period of time and your car should be in the shade at the very minimum. Ideally, your dog should remain at home during the summer months when you decide to take a drive.
Don’t exercise your dog in the heat of the day during the summer. If your dog needs exercise and play, do so during the early morning and late evening and keep a close eye on your dog’s physical state. Watch for the early signs of heat stroke like heavy panting or tiredness and stop the exercise at that point. Also, unless your dog is used to exercising in the heat, you may need to start slowly and, gradually, over several weeks, increase the activity level so your dog can adjust.
Know the factors that can put a dog at a higher risk for heat stroke.
· Dark coated breeds
· Brachycephalic breeds: breeds with short muzzles such as Pugs, Mastiffs, Boxers, and Pekingese. These dogs have shorter airways making their cooling method of panting not as effective
· Puppies up to the age of six months or older dogs past the age of seven
· Sick dogs
· Any dog suffering from a respiratory disease; coughing, wheezing, nasal discharge, congestion
· Dogs with heart disease
· Overweight dogs
· Dogs with muzzles on
· Any dog that has already had a heat stroke before. Once a dog has suffered from heat stroke, they are much more likely to have another.
If your dog falls into any one of these categories, take extra precaution in hotter weather to ensure they are safe and cool. Whether your dog is high risk or not, it is important to be educated and to use good judgment during the summer months to ensure your dog doesn’t become a victim to this life threatening situation.

North Korea says missile could carry large nuclear warhead
(CNN)North Korea says the missile it tested Sunday is capable of carrying a large nuclear warhead, state media said Monday.
The country's leader, Kim Jong Un, supervised the launch of the Hwasong-12 missile that reached an altitude of 2,111.5 kilometers (1,312 miles) and flew 787 kilometers (489 miles), according to state news agency KCNA.
The test was "aimed at verifying the tactical and technological specifications of the newly developed ballistic rocket capable of carrying a large-size heavy nuclear warhead," KCNA said.
North Korea warned the United States not to provoke it, saying the "US mainland and Pacific operations" are within range of North Korean missiles.
Analysts called this North Korea's most successful missile test ever and a significant advancement in its quest to build a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
An image from North Korean state media Rodong Sinmun shows Sunday's missile launch.
"North Korea's latest successful missile test represents a level of performance never before seen from a North Korean missile," aerospace engineer John Schilling wrote on the blog 38 North, published by the US Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University.
The high altitude and long flight time -- 30 minutes, the US said -- indicate a missile with an extended range, according to David Wright, co-director of the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Writing on his organization's blog, Wright pointed out that if the missile did reach that height and fly that far, it could reach the US territory of Guam in the Pacific.
Step towards long range missile?
Guam is home to Andersen Air Force Base, through which the US Air Force rotates heavy bombers including B-1s, B-2s and B-52s.
KCNA said the test showed North Korea "has all powerful means for retaliatory strike" should Washington take any military action to stop its nuclear weapons program.
Tong Zhao, an analyst with the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy, said if the missile does have the range to hit Guam, it could give North Korea "a regional nuclear deterrence," meaning it might not need to pursue an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which could reach the US mainland.
But Melissa Hanham, senior research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in California, said it could be a stepping stone to just that.
"This may become half or a third of an ICBM," she said, pointing out that ICBMs are built in two or three stages stacked atop of each other.
An image from North Korean state media shows leader Kim Jong with a missile on a mobile launcher.
Hanham also said the fact that the missile's re-entry vehicle flew so high above the Earth put it under more stress than a warhead might undergo when fired on a more normal, flatter trajectory
North Korean engineers "may well be able to draw warhead re-entry data from that which is applicable to their ICBM ambitions," said Euan Graham, an expert on North Korea at Australia's Lowy Institute.
"Given speculation over the past months about the possibility of military action by the Trump administration to prevent Pyongyang from acquiring such weapons, the possible testing of ICBM subsystems in this low-key manner may be a North Korean hedge against the possibility of such action," 38 North's Schilling wrote.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un surrounded by officials on the day of the May 14 missile launch.
US officials said the missile launched near the city of Kusong, in western North Korea, flew across the country and into the Sea of Japan/East Sea, hitting the water about 60 miles from Vladivostok in eastern Russia.
Russia, however, said the missile fell 310 miles (500 kilometers) from its coast, according to a report on RT.com.
Russia initially responded to North Korea's test by putting its far eastern air defenses on high alert, according to a report from the RIA-Novosti news agency.
Russian President Vladmir Putin reportedly discussed the launch with Chinese President Xi Jinping during a meeting in Beijing. "Concern was expressed about the escalation of tension, including in connection with the launch (of the missile of the DPRK)," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying in Russian state media.
Moon said the missile test violates UN Security Council resolutions and called it a severe challenge to the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula and the world, presidential spokesman Yoon Young-chan said.
South Korea needs to show the North that even though talks are possible, it will only be possible if North Korea changes its attitude, the President told staff.
He said South Korea would respond to provocations.
Messages from Pyongyang?
North Korea's Kim launched Sunday's test as Chinese leader Xi Jinping hosted a major trade and infrastructure summit with multiple world leaders in Beijing.

Technique is the method of performance in art; in other words. the style or method used in producing a work of art. In caricaturing the purpose of the drawing may influence the technique of the artist, or rather may influence the artist in choosing the technique. For example, a caricature drawn for newspaper reproduction is usually drawn ‘with pen and ink lines similar to the drawings on Plates 8, 13, and 16. Some artists use Lithographic Pencils on a specially prepared, pebbled surfaced board. Ripley of “Believe It Or Not” fame produces his drawings by this method. Wash is seldom used in this country for newspaper drawings.
A large number of caricatures are used in sports cartoons for newspapers. Sports cartoons may of course illustrate various sports, such as: boxing, baseball, basketball, football, golf, hunting, fishing horseback riding, and others. Often in these humorous drawings the central figure is drawn with a small body and a large caricatured head, somewhat as the caricatures on Plates 8, 13, and 16. Around this central figure are drawn smaller action figures illustrating one or more sports. Names, dates, comments and other lettering and details are placed so as to make a good composition.
Somewhat the same technique is employed in political cartoons, in which Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Senators, Congressmen, Cabinet Members, Governors, and other statesmen and prominent men may be caricatured. Here again the purpose of the drawing may determine the way it should be drawn. By “purpose of the cartoon” is meant whether it is intended to aid or injure the one caricatured. If it is to harm the caricatured, naturally he will be represented differently from what he would otherwise. Figures 1, 4, and 5 on Plate 3 represents the Ex-Kaiser as a rather stern, ruthless, and strong willed monarch. There is no doubt that he is stern and strong willed, but not so terrible as these caricatures represent him. Figures 2 and 3 on the same plate represent more of a kindly old gentleman, but even in them one can discern that he is no weak person by his stern features and prominent jaw. It should be interesting for the student to study some of the caricatures of Thomas Nast, if he can acquire reproductions of same, even though cartoonists of today do not go as far as Nast did.
Humor is very important in newspaper cartoons. There are three ways of putting this quality in them, and these are, action, expression, and exaggeration. A cartoon is rather flat and uninteresting if it lacks these qualities.
Some of the caricatures in this book might be termed modernistic. Especially the caricatures of Hindenburg, Carnegie, R. T. Coffin, Marshal Foch, Lorado Taft, Charles Darwin, and Jack Dempsey. There are also others of this type. Some of these are spattered; some are drawn with straight lines; some with curved lines; and some with light and very heavy lines which were made with a lettering pen. The character of the person and the shape of the features has determined the technique used, for which they were most adapted. It is assumed that the above named caricatures are best as they are, although caricatures of the same men might be drawn differently. The caricatures of Woodrow Wilson might be drawn with curved lines, but it would perhaps not be as good as this drawing and would lack its originality. However, the drawing of R. T. Coffin could hardly be drawn well with straight lines due to the round face. Neither could that of Carnegie, for the same reason. They are simply not adapted to the techniques .employed in some of the other drawings.
Since stipple, or rather spatter has been employed in a number of drawings in this book, it seems appropriate to explain here the procedure for this method of drawing.
The large caricature of Carnegie on Plate 14 is spattered on the hair, eyebrows, and beard. As one can readily see, first an outline drawing is made. If it is suitable to be spattered, a stencil is cut for this purpose. To make this stencil, place a sheet of transparent paper, sufficiently large, over the drawing and trace the outlines of the areas to be stippled (spattered)* If transparent paper is unavailable, the drawing may be traced with carbon or graphite paper. In this way the drawing to be traced would be placed on top. The next step is to cut out the portions to be spattered from the stencil, as the shaded area in Figure 2, Plate 14. A single edge razor blade, or a pocket knife is very useful to cut the stencil where it is inconvenient to cut with shears.
Place the stencil over the outline drawing so that the cut out portions register perfectly with the outlines of the drawing to be stippled. Thumb tack the two together, or place weights on them to hold them in the desired position. Pour a small quantity of drawing ink in a saucer or similar receptacle. An old tooth brush is used for spattering. Dip the brush lightly in the ink and draw the bristles across a coin or other suitable object as illustrated in Figure 3, Plate 14 A little practice will teach you to do this properly.
Some solid black should also be used with this spattered shading to give contrast and thereby improve the drawing as a whole. In the Hindenburg Caricature, Plate 7, spatter shading has been used on the body and in tie lettering underneath, as the same technique should be employed consistently throughout an entire drawing or composition, as stated previously in this chapter.
Quite often wash is used in caricaturing. For this technique, Lamp Black water color is used with a water color brush. First an outline drawing is made with a pen and black waterproof drawing ink on water color paper. Then the wash is applied with a camels hair brush. Additional washes are used for the darker parts, and an effort is made to blend the two values.
The frontispiece is a reproduction of an air brushed caricature study of George Arliss by Eddie Burgess. This drawing was made for a theatrical display, and the artist has produced something original and very good. This caricature has originality, humor, and most important of all, it has a fair likeness of the subject caricatured.
Caricatures of some subjects are better drawn in one technique, while others are best caricatured in another technique. The only way to determine the best technique for any particular subject is by good judgment, and experiment.

A Critique of Nano Nore's Norway
A Solo Exhibition in Park University’s Campanella Gallery, November 4-December 15, 2007. A critique by Donna Bachmann, Professor of Art & Director of the Gallery.
I have known Nano Nore, artist and educator, for many years, as a sister alumna of the Kansas City Art Institute and as artists and colleagues. She has shown my work at William Jewell's Stocksdale Gallery and I have exhibited hers once before in the Campanella which I direct. We are friends. Thus I am very familiar with her work and have seen its development over a twenty year span.
Professor Nore is "an artist's artist". Her expertise in media and technique, both in two dimensions and in three, is extensive. Her painting technique is "painterly"; that is, the brush strokes have a sensuous and compelling rhythm and delight in the stuff of the paint itself. Her drawing has always been characterized by verve and liveliness. Much of her previous work, her ceramics in particular, has been extremely witty in its irreverent (and knowledgeable) take on the history of art. Thus, content and narrative has previously played an important role in her work. This current body of work generated during and derived from her 2006 sabbatical in Norway, is different.
Landscape in plein aire is the most challenging and humbling of disciplines.
(I keep trying it myself but seldom achieve anything with it.) Weather, wind, shifting light, by standers, the 360 degrees, the immensity and the complexity, all combine into a painting genre that is not for sissies. During her time in Norway I enjoyed receiving her online photographs and commentary. I remember thinking, “how will she manage to artistically deal with those unique and unfamiliar forms and spaces?" Usually it takes an artist’s lifetime to understand a place.
Nano Nore took a very long look at the land-seascape of the fjords and she came to understand something about those beautiful and complex spaces and forms and light. Her work reveals it.
She used a number of strategies. In the two large graphite drawings on grey paper, Rock Sentinels and Bryggia Dock, she employs the direct approach using a classic hatching technique to produce contrasts in tone, texture and space. The hatch marks generate an insistent rhythm and complex patterns, beautiful and enticing in themselves. But these very descriptive images are not immediately legible---one must study them for a bit to discern what they are telling. The Rock Sentinels are stone posts in the foreground that mark the boundary of her Uncle Einar’s mountain patio---like Kansas post rocks or miniature menhirs---and give way to a view of dark brooding pines and mountains beyond. In Bryggia Dock the image is dominated by a large arcing form rimmed with circles set against shimmering water. And being enticed, one sees that what first looked to be the maw of a dragon, is a dock edged with tires! In both these works, her choice of quixotic vantage points and unlikely subjects within a landscape, that in the hands of a lesser artist would be merely picturesque, transcend the ubiquitous grandeur of the fjord, and help us see something truly wonderful. And in looking, it belongs to us too.
Another strategy comes into play in the 12 part miniature series, Innvick: Across the Fjord from Blakset, Nordfjord, crayon (caran d’ache) and opaque water color (gouache) on black paper. Here she sorts out the immense grandeur by giving us snippets of what seems to be an aerial view. Like samples of a crazy quilt we see from afar, parts of fields and orchards and squiggles of roads. Her palette of greens, from near blacks to near yellows, siennas, ochres and brief punctuations of cadmium red, glows, at once somber and sonorous in the northern light, the moist air a lens that intensifies her color. And it is all stitched together with fuzzy black boundary lines and the black texture of the paper’s tooth breaking through the color. These deceptively simple small works summarize that which is essential in the landscape, (which is the hardest thing to see) with delicacy and boldness---a macrocosm on a microcosm scale.
Yet another strategy is displayed in the next generation of the small Innvick images, studio re-statements, on a larger scale, of each of the smaller works. From the small paper she moves to moderately scaled black gessoed canvas and the same crayon (with varnish?) and gouache for very similar color and texture effects. These re-interpretations of the fjord-scapes are less intimate and more abstract, more emphatic while the forms are more playful and elastic than their “parent” images.
Her six color reductive linocut print, Kannesteinen Rock, Vogsoy, Norway uses a rarely seen technique in which the linoleum black is gradually cut away. Six times during that process she inked in a separate color, printed and cut away yet more of the block. There is no margin for error in this balancing act of a technique. But her visual results transcend the technical achievement in this is a superb tour de force of design and color. The rhythmic patterns seen in her large graphite landscapes are here set loose in a Van Gogh-like swirl of moving forms and vivid Fauvish color that frame the weird testicular shape of the Kannesteinen Rock that seems to erupt above the ocean currents that have carved it. So again Nano Nore finds something in the landscape that is completely unfamiliar and lets us see it with her.
But for me the most powerful, in terms of pure design, of this body of work, are her extraordinary black and white linocuts. They are reminiscent of the great northern illustrator and printmaker, Rockwell Kent. In these prints she achieves a rarely seen balance between the positive and the negative: are these white images on black paper or black images on white? It is hard to tell. In Boat Dock at Selja Island, the white lines into black, the black lines into white, perform a dance that merges out of the rocky foreground and invite us to enter into the deeper space. In Totland Church from the Old Bryggia Road, the church forms a visual resting place amid the hatched patterned rhythms that frame it. However her two nautical images, Old Norwegian Boat in Nordfjord and Nordfjord Boats with Mount Homelin are the most beautiful of the six. In both, the exquisite grace of the boat hulls, with their sensuous curves, dominate the foregrounds and lead us into the middle ground of the pictures. Above the sea’s horizon a “Starry Night-like” swirl pirouettes across the heavens.
Nano Nore is a versatile draftsman, printmaker and painter at the height of her powers. She has a vast repertoire of classical technique and skill that enable her to produce images that are at once very sophisticated and at the same time very accessible. Nothing gets in her viewer’s way as she shares her joy and delight and reverence for the beauty and mystery of the natural world and a place where the works of “man” seem still to be benign.

Race Cars is a children’s book about white privilege created to help parents and educators facilitate tough conversations about race, privilege, and oppression.
Written by a clinical social worker and child therapist with experience in anti-bias training and edited by a diversity expert, Race Cars tells the story of 2 best friends, a white car and a black car, that have different experiences and face different rules while entering the same race.
Filled with bright, attention-grabbing illustrations, a notes and activities section at the back helps parents, guardians, and teachers further discuss these issues with children.
Why is this book important? As early as 6 months old, a baby’s brain can notice race-based differences; children ages 2 to 4 can internalize racial bias and start assigning meaning to race; and 5- to 8-year-olds begin to place value judgments on similarities and differences. By age 12, children have a complete set of stereotypes about every racial, ethnic, and religious group in society. Our guidance is especially crucial during this impressionable time.
Race Cars offers a simple, yet powerful, way to introduce these complicated themes to our children and is a valuable addition to classroom and home libraries.
Jenny Devenny, LCSW is a psychotherapist, author, illustrator and native New Yorker currently living in Los Angeles with her husband and son. She is dedicated to providing anti-racist psychotherapy to children, adolescents and families and has experience facilitating groups and workshops on racism and white privilege. Jenny is passionate about helping adults, specifically white adults, have meaningful conversations about race with the children in their lives and believes that if we want to dismantle white supremacy we need to start with our youngest. This is her first book. Find her on Instagram: @jennydevennylcsw.

I took another day off from work this week. My friend, Jeff, had told me that the Radio Shack in town had a section for used vinyl in their store, so I figured that I would take a drive up the street to check it out. Truth be told, most of it was junk, but I did find a couple of records for the collection.
- Wasted Youth - Reagan's In : I was very excited to find this for only $3.00. I had seen this sell for around $40 on ebay, and thought that I was finding one of those legendary deals. I took it home and checked again on ebay and found out that my copy on Medusa Records was a repressing. The original on Sanoblast Records is the one that is actually worth some money. Still this record is a lot of fun. Great early 80's style of hardcore punk out of Los Angeles.
- Blue Oyster Cult - Self Titled : I downloaded this CD a while ago, and I really liked the 70's rock sound. I saw this one for $4.00 and didn't hesitate to buy it.
