Everybody knows about time. Our everyday language bears witness to the centrality of time with scores of words and expressions that refer to it as a measure, a frame of reference, or an ordering factor for our lives, feelings, dreams, and histories. For the Aztecs time was a series of 52-year cycles. At the end of each cycle, the sun would set and for three days and nights the universe was up for grabs before the beginning of a new cycle. The Bible, on the other hand, inscribed another concept of time, linear and chronological in the seven days of creation and the detailed chronicles of endless genealogies. Playing with time has been a favorite game in works of high culture--from the Greek sophists to cubism--and in popular culture--from H.G. Wells to Monty Python. And time is at the center of one of the most revolutionary scientific theories of all time: Einstein's Theory of Relativity. In this course we will use mathematics, literature, and the arts to travel through history, to explore and understand Time as a key concept and reality in the development of Western culture and in our own twentieth century view of ourselves and of the world.
Course development is partially supported by the NSF through the Mathematics Across the Curriculum (MATC) Project at Dartmouth.


With a sharp knife peel rutabaga and cut into 1/8-inch-thick wedges. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook rutabaga until crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to a colander. Drain rutabaga and pat dry between paper towels.
Peel turnips and cut into 1/8-inch-thick wedges. Cook turnips in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, and transfer with slotted spoon to colander. Drain turnips and pat dry between paper towels.
Peel parsnips and cut diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Cook parsnips in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, and transfer with slotted spoon to colander. Drain parsnips and pat dry between paper towels.
In a bowl toss together vegetables. Vegetables may be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Preheat oven to 350° F. and butter a 2-quart gratin dish, about 12 by 9 by 2 inches.
In gratin dish arrange one third vegetables and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon flour, 1/4 cup Gruyère, and salt and pepper to taste. Top cheese with half of remaining vegetables, remaining tablespoon flour, 1/4 cup cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange remaining vegetables over cheese and pour cream and milk over vegetables.
Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup cheese over vegetables and bake in middle of oven, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover gratin and bake until bubbling and golden, about 40 minutes more.
I have made this dish many times over the years. It has become a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner classic. A few helpful hints: Don't even think of slicing the veggies by hand. Use a food processor or mandoline. Prep the veggies the day before--let them drain on paper towel--refrigerate. Swiss-made Gruyere is the best--don't skimp, Don't forego the "heavy cream"--I often adjust the milk/cream ratio in favour of a higher % of cream.
I love this. I used a purple sweet potato instead of the parsnips and it was fine. Also I didn't have any gruyere so I used cheddar; still delicious.
This is a very tasty rich recipe. I added one potato (just because I like them) and did not use the parsnips. It freezes well.
Good flavor. It had a little more liquid in it than I wanted. Maybe next time I'll add more flour.
This recipe gets rave reviews every time I serve it. You can eliminate the cream to cut down on calories.
This was good and easy, and I'd definitely make it again. The root vegetables make this interesting and unexpected; they give the dish a little bite. To those who thought it was boring, there are two things that are important to this dish: good-quality Gruyere and salt. The root vegetables and cream/milk don't have much flavor without these ingredients, so be sure to use them. Most gratin dishes require liberal salting between layers.
Maybe it was because I doubled the recipe to bring as a Thanksgiving dish, but the milk and cream didn't thicken that well. I had to cook it almost twice as long to get it to condense. I would recommend using a Cuisinart to slice the vegetables. That saved a lot of time. I wasn't that impressed with this recipe even after it thickened up. I think it needed some additional ingredients to make it more flavorful.
While it was a very delicious dish..the preparation time was awful. Made it for 15 adults for Thanksgiving. It took two of us almost five hours to slice and dice. If I ever do it again I will purchase presliced begetables.
I think this is a fantastic way to use these vegetables and while I will make this again, I didn't fall in love with this recipe. Definitely could use a little more seasoning in my opinion.
This dish has become a Thanksgiving staple for our family. Every year we go on a hunt for the magazine we originally found it in, can't explain why, so glad to find it here.
A real hit. We had it for Thanksgiving dinner but I think a dish this good didn't get as much attention as it deserved. Will try again when there are fewer things for it to compete with. Use the real Gruyere. I think a dash of cayenne or paprika on the top would not hurt if I try this again, more for color then flavor.
After several years of trying other dishes for Thanksgiving, I made this again this year and it was again a huge hit. I added chopped fresh thyme which worked well. This is really a favorite of everyone's.
People who "hate" rutabagas, enjoyed this recipe.
Excellent flavor, simple to prepare with a slicing blade and next time I may reduce the cholesterol. Definitely company worthy and the advanced preparation is a bonus.
Very good company dish. I used butternut squash in place of rutabaga since the store only had huge rutabagas. I used very good gruyere and then cut the fat by using fat free evaporated milk and half-and-half. I'm making for Thanksgiving and will cut veggies into cubes for ease of serving.
I found this to be great stuff!! As a maker of yukon/gruyere gratin, i fells this is great replacement. good texture and more interesting flavor. i think next time might sprinkle in some chopped scallions for a little color .. great with mixed greens and herb roasted chicken. make your grandparents proud, eat more root veggies!!
I've got a spouse who would normally turn his nose up at things like rutabagas and turnips; he devoured this.
A fantastic hit at Thanksgiving - even those who were not fans of root vegetables before.
This was wonderful! Believe it or not I cooked it on my gas grill. I had no oven room left so I put it out there on a low grill for about 1 1/2 hours and it was perfect!
I am missing a forth fork ONLY because I just can't call root veggies "beyond compare" but my guests last year thought this dish was wonderful. I made it originally as a concession to the one turnip lover in the family and it was so popular with everyone else too that it has been requested again this year.
This dish is very good but with all the calories and fat, how could it not be? For Thanksgiving, maybe you can splurge. What is nice is the combination of the vegetables so it doesn't taste like any one thing. Otherwise, this is a classic gratin, heavy and cheese-intensive. Use good ingredients to make the difference.

Current: BITCH PLANET takes no prisoners
BITCH PLANET takes no prisoners
The first issue of Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro's feminist sci-fi exploitation riff slated for second printing
"The feminist comic book we've all been waiting for." —Vox.com
"Sharply written, emotionally charged… A heck of a book." —IGN
"An immensely refreshing read." —The Onion's A.V. Club
"The only comic about gladiator women in space prison you'll ever need." —WIRED
"A bleaker Orange is the New Black, without the lily-white lead, in space." —The Mary Sue
Kelly Sue DeConnick (PRETTY DEADLY) and Valentine De Landro's (X-Factor) highly anticipated BITCH PLANET hit stores and lit up social media with its #noncompliant message and its show-stopping storyline. Now it's being fast-tracked to a second printing in order to meet customer demand.
A science fiction take on the Women-in-Prison exploitation cinema trope, BITCH PLANET follows five prisoners on an all-female penal planet, ready to make their escape by way of a gladiatorial exhibition against a team of visiting male prisoners. There are five women—all ridiculous and real—and all very different. One shouldn't be there. The other four are unrepentant and guilty as Hell.
BITCH PLANET #1 remains available for purchase across all digital platforms, including the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com), the official Image Comics iOS app, Comixology's website (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.
BITCH PLANET #1, 2nd printing arrives in stores on 2/11 and can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code DEC148092.
BITCH PLANET #2 hits stands on 1/28 and can be ordered with Diamond Code NOV140643.

Nowadays, CRM (customer relationship management) software solutions are in great demand among companies of all stripes and colors.

In traditional clinical practice, the opportunity to validate the best practices among a large sample of patients is minimal for healthcare professionals. However, the recently launched Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Medical Shared Savings Program (MSSP) for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), offers providers incentives for improved quality of care and lowered costs associated with healthcare and demands that ACOs monitor and publicly disclose the results they have collected, allowing ACOs to analyze the data.
The reduction in healthy microbe flora present in the gut due to overuse of antibiotics can lead to weight gain. One of the major threats faced by humankind is antibiotic resistance. In the US alone, resistant infections are estimated to affect over two million people every year, with roughly 23,000 deaths.
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), a potentially lethal bacterial infection, causes colon inflammation and is responsible for 3,700 deaths in Europe per year.1 This highly symptomatic infection causes fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, elevated levels of white blood cells, and blood or mucus in stool.
Vitamin D is produced by the body upon exposure to sunlight. Being an infamously cloudy country, vitamin D deficiency is common in the UK and other northern countries with similar climates.

The bacterial cell wall is made up of alternating linkages of N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid. Tetrapeptides dangling in the muramic acid linkages consisting of D-alanine, L-alanine, L-lysine and D-glucosamine can create cross-links between rows. Crosslinking is prevented by β-lactam antibiotics, leaving the bacterial cells susceptible to attack.

Risks to a medical device's performance can occur at any stage of the product lifecycle, as highlighted at the 2015 Risk Management Summit conducted by AAMI.
Life Science companies, which trade in a regulated industry that is essentially risk-conscious, are cautious when assessing an enterprise-wide learning management system (LMS) to ensure that the system adheres to the requirements of EU Annex 11 and 21 CFR Part 11. However, few LMSs provide this functionality at several depths and in certain cases this is not found until after the system is purchased.
Life science companies are increasingly investing in holistic talent management systems (TMS), where learning management presents an important feature. However, the question that arises at this juncture is what exactly does FDA anticipate the company to validate?
Today, data integrity has become an important regulatory topic in quality management. It refers to the consistency and accuracy of stored data, and presents a major challenge to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies that can either make or break the outcome of a specific product.
During diagnosis and treatment of acute diseases, fast and easy access to blood testing is integral to ensure a transparent and successful outcome. Analysis of arterial blood gas aids in establishing acid-base balance as well as the status of oxygenation.

Charles Barkley: Ability Outweighs Sexuality in Sports
Written by Nick Vivion on March 27, 2017
Charles Barkley says that he had gay teammates on 2 of his 3 professional NBA teams, that there was no problem whatsoever with homophobia, and that the media needs to stop pretending that gays face more obstacles in sports than elsewhere.
In a wide-ranging interview on WJFK (106.7 FM), Barkley really let his opinions on the matter out. We've posted chunks of the interview below – what do you think of his position on this whole homophobia in sports issue?
I really like ESPN. They do a great job. But like once every two or three months, they bring all these people on there, and they tell me how me and my team are going to respond to a gay guy.
First of all, every player has played with gay guys. It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.
Any professional athlete who gets on TV or radio and says he never played with a gay guy is a stone-freakin' idiot. I would even say the same thing in college. Every college player, every pro player in any sport has probably played with a gay person.
A guy is never going to put himself in that situation in a professional locker room. They're not going to do anything in the locker room. Doesn't work like that. It never crossed my mind, and I never felt any different about the guy.
Society discriminates against gay people. They always try to make it like jocks discriminate against gay people. I've been a big proponent of gay marriage for a long time, because as a black person, I can't be in for any form of discrimination at all.
We gossiped behind each other's back before; I'll be the first to admit that. The first people who whine and complain is them Bible-thumpers, who are supposed to be non-judgmental, who rail against them.
Hey, man, I don't worry about what other people do…Man, we need to outlaw guys who suck at sports.

Q: Console log inside React 'useEffect' function doesn't work after page refresh The 'useEffect' function is being used to retrieve data and then store it in the 'ratings' array. I'm currently trying to loop through the 'ratings' array elements in order to console log their contents. This works when the component is first mounted but stops working once the page is refreshed. I found that I can get it to work by placing the 'forEach' outside the useEffect function but was wondering why it doesn't work inside the function and if there's another solution.
const Rating = ({id}) => {
    let url=`https://api.jikan.moe/v3/anime/${id}/stats`;

    const [ratings, setRatings] = useState([]);

    useEffect(() =>
    {
        (async function()
        {

            try{
                const res = await axios.get(url);
                setRatings(Object.values(res.data.scores));

                if (ratings) ratings.forEach((rating)=>{console.log(rating.votes)}); //Doesn't work after refresh
            }
            catch(err)
            {
                console.log(err);
            }

        })();
    }, [url])

...

}

export default Rating;

A: When you do setRatings(Object.values(res.data.scores));, the ratings state is not updated imediatelly, so if (ratings) is still the empty array when the app runs if (ratings) ....
Do something like this instead:
  const scores = Object.values(res.data.scores);
  setRatings(scores);
  if (scores) scores.forEach((rating)=>{console.log(rating.votes)});

or use another useEffect for the ratings so it runs when it gets updated:
useEffect(() => {
  if (ratings) ratings.forEach((rating)=>{console.log(rating.votes)});
}, [ratings]);

Roger Waters Premieres The Wall at Toronto Film Festival

Hamptonite and Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters premiered his new film Roger Waters: The Wall at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, September 6.
The movie, by Waters and Sean Evans, chronicles his epic world concert tour The Wall Live, during which he performed Pink Floyd's masterful 1979 album The Wall in its entirety for the first time since his 1990 "Live in Berlin" concert. Called [in The Daily Mail] one of the "most ambitious and complex rock shows ever staged," the sold out tour went on for three years, from 2010–2013, it cost some $60 million to produce and is credit with being the As of 2013, the tour holds the highest grossing tour for a solo musician, surpassing fellow Hamptonite Madonna, who held the record before 2013.
Speaking at the premiere on Saturday, which was also his 71st birthday, Waters said the movie was more than a concert documentary. "It's a protest movie," Waters explained.
The 133-minute film features all 26 songs from The Wall, but Waters also uses the platform to send out a powerful anti-war message through footage of him visiting various war memorials and cemeteries. Among them, the rock icon visits the grave of his grandfather, who died in World War I, and the battlefield where his father was killed in 1944 while fighting in World War II.
The Wall, in all its incarnations—including the 1982 live-action/animation movie starring Bob Geldof—has always spoke to the horrors of war, and Waters has been quite direct in admonishing the growth of our military-industrial complex, the painful cost of using violence to solve problems and the madness of sacrificing so many lives in the process.
At its TIFF premiere, the film received a standing ovation from fans and the audience sang "Happy Birthday" to Waters when he appeared onstage, but as of Tuesday, September 9, Roger Waters: The Wall had yet to find a distributor.

DOVER — Anticipated warm weather — with high temperatures expected to be near 60 degrees — could make for several excellent downtown dining, shopping and entertainment opportunities as Dover kicks off the weekend with First Friday activities on Friday night.
The Downtown Dover Partnership is asking people to bring a friend and venture into downtown businesses such as My Roots, House of Coffi, The Delaware Store and Parke Green Galleries for casual acoustic music, light refreshments and some special New Year's sales.
These and several other shops will be open into the evening, while eateries feature musicians and DJs to kick off the weekend.
House of Coffi patrons will enjoy live music by Mike Miller on acoustic guitar with Americana-themed pieces. Singer/guitarist Mollie Raley Hall will provide casual, comfortable tunes at The Delaware Store and Parke Green Galleries, while singer/songwriter Rick Hudson will delight diners with guitar and harmonica, focusing on blues, old-time country and contemporary pieces at Simaron Pizza and Steak Shop.
Meanwhile, Grey Fox Grille and Public House will feature live music by Daren O'Neil on keyboard and acoustic pop music from the 90's as well as a DJ beginning at 9 p.m. Golden Fleece will also host a DJ beginning at 10 p.m.
The Dover Public Library will continue its monthly "In Harmony" concert series. Starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, classical violinist Eliezer Gutman will present "From Bach to Scott Joplin and John Williams, a Classical Violin Recital."
Romanian-born and raised in Israel, Eliezer Gutman has been a member of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra since 1994 and is currently concertmaster with the Kennett Symphony of Chester County, the Allentown Symphony Orchestra and Opera Delaware.
Shoppers can receive their Shop Downtown Dover promotional "passport" for savings in downtown shops through June 30 by shopping in one of the previously noted shops Friday evening, or by contacting My Roots Shop owner Lori Llewellyn at 302-883-2693 or lori@lovemyroots.com.
First Friday programming is being provided jointly by the individual merchants, the Downtown Dover Partnership, and the Delaware Division of the Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.

Digesting History: A Conversation with the Museum of Food and Drink's Curatorial Director Catherine Piccoli
tags: museums, education, food history, cultural history, public engagement, Chinese American history, community, food studies
by Chelsea Connolly
Chelsea Connolly is an intern with the History News Network.
Catherine Piccoli is a food historian and writer, whose work focuses on the intersection of food, culture, memory, and place. She brings this multidisciplinary approach to the Museum of Food and Drink. As curatorial director, she oversees the creation of MOFAD's exhibitions and educational programming, and guides the operations team. Catherine was instrumental in the research, writing, and development of past major exhibitions, Flavor: Making It and Faking It and Chow: Making the Chinese American Restaurant, as well as gallery shows Feasts and Festivals, Knights of the Raj, and Highlights from the Collection. She also established the museum's robust public programming.
The following interview was originally conducted on November 25th, 2019.
What do you think separates MOFAD from other museums or similar institutions?
Because we are the Museum of Food and Drink, we start at a place of similarity with everyone. Everybody eats. Whether or not you like to eat, you have to do so multiple times a day. It's something that we engage in out of necessity, it's something that we engage with through culture, so I think having that starting point in common means that it's much easier to reach people because they already have that interest in food. I think also because we believe that "Food is Culture", and we do a lot of programming around that idea, we're meeting people with an idea that they're already comfortable and familiar with. Most people can think about what their families fed them, what they ate growing up, what is nostalgic to them, what is a part of their personal history and what that means to them. Then we can really take it from there and go in so many different directions and hopefully teach people something that they didn't know before. A big thing for us internally is thinking about the invisible every day. You can do that so easily with food. But when you open your refrigerator and you look at, say, a Chinese takeout box. What is the history of that food? What is the history of a Chinese takeout box? What is the history of a refrigerator? Why do we have one? Why is it an electric refrigerator? With all of these sorts of things, we can really blow people's minds wide open about food and use food as a lens to talk about larger ideas.
You mentioned that MOFAD's slogan is "Food is Culture". What does that mean to you in a historical context?
For me, that starts on a personal level. You know, your family's culture and history. We can take me for example, I am Italian-American and Polish- and Slovak-American, but I also grew up in the Midwest. So, growing up in Chicago, what are the things I grew up eating that my Italian family made? Or that my Slovak grandmother made? What does it mean to have grown up in a city with a really large Polish population? How did that impact the foods that I ate every day? And then you can go out even further than that to Poland. Cuisine in Poland, culture in Poland, how does that travel? What does transnational cuisine look like? How do cuisine and culture change when people move? For me, thinking "Food is Culture" is all-encompassing from the micro to the macro.
I have noticed that MOFAD offers an abundance of public programming, and that programming is more interactive than I have seen at other museums. What do you think the advantages are of inviting the public to become active participants in history?
We, not only in our public programming but also in our exhibitions, we feel it's really important to engage people through all their senses. That's easy to do because food does that. When you come to see our exhibitions you will eat, you will literally, I like to say, "digest" the information that you have just literally digested. It's really important when you're talking about food to be able to experience it as well. We do that in our exhibitions as well as our public programming. We just had Marcus Samuelsson come last week and talk about the release of Our Harlem as an audiobook. He had some of the people that he interviewed there, they had a panel discussion and then there were foods from Red Rooster that people got to eat afterwards. Not everyone may be able to go to Red Rooster, but maybe you can come to MOFAD and taste some of those foods. Or not everyone may like to cook, or feel they're good enough to try one of those recipes. So they, too, can come to MOFAD and try that. Through the years we've done programming and exhibitions around the flavor industry. Which included programming around your sense of smell as well as things that you're eating and tasting. We've done honey tastings in the past, wine tasting, beer and cheese pairing, all sorts of different things to help people continue to engage with the topic but also think more deeply about food and drink.
What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of featuring only one exhibit at a time? For example, you currently are displaying "Chow: Making the Chinese American Restaurant".
For us, I guess you could say we are a fledgling institution, and our current space is called MOFAD Lab. We call it that instead of calling it the Museum of Food and Drink because we really saw it as our experimental space, our exhibition design studio or even our "test kitchen" if you want to have another pun; where we can test out how to be a museum. While MOFAD has existed as an idea since 2010, it wasn't until 2015 that we had our first physical space. The Lab is not big enough to have multiple full-size exhibitions, but that was okay for us because we're still a small team and doing one exhibition at a time really helps us to focus and make the best exhibition possible. It has worked very well for us, I think, but it can be difficult at times. You know Chow's been open for a few years now so some people think we're the Chinese Restaurant Museum or even a Chinese-American restaurant sometimes, which is a little bit silly. But we find that when people come in who are confused, once they get to MOFAD Lab and we can talk to them and they can really understand what we're doing and want to come back and see more. It is our goal, ultimately, to grow to an institution on the scale of the Smithsonian or the Met. Obviously, this is our first step towards that and hopefully the next phase will be several galleries instead of one so we can have multiple exhibitions at a time.
What do you hope that a visitor who comes in with no prior knowledge gleans from your current exhibition? What do you what them to walk out of MOFAD thinking about?
For us, a lot of it has to do with connection. With Chow, we're using food as a lens to talk about racist immigration policy. We're talking about the Chinese Exclusion Act and how despite the fact that during that 60-year period Chinese people are functionally excluded from entering this country, the Chinese-American restaurant really blossomed and that restaurant cuisine becomes a part of the culinary zeitgeist. We want people to leave understanding why that's a remarkable story and how that happened, but we also want visitors to go home and think about their local Chinese takeout place differently. Here in New York, a lot of the Chinese takeout restaurants are still family-run and probably across the country as well. Hopefully, people are going into those restaurants and engaging with the folks that are running them. Who are those people? How did they get to the U.S.? What are their plans? What are their dreams? What are they cooking? We really want people to look at those spaces in a new way and engage with the folks who are cooking their food.
David Chang, a chef who I personally admire, has been talking a lot recently about trying to get people to rethink MSG. Do you bring that at all into your current exhibit or into your conversation about Chinese-American food?
It's funny you asked that. Our first exhibition at Lab was called "Flavor: Making it and Faking it" and it was on the history and the technology of the flavor industry. We had three main stories that we told. One of which was the quote-unquote "discovery" of umami as a taste and how Dr. Kikunae Ikeda, who's a Japanese chemist, is the one who "discovers" it and names it and then begins manufacturing MSG in Japan. So we talked a lot about MSG in our first exhibition and we decided not to have any panels about it in this exhibition. But we often get that question at our culinary studio, and we often refer people to Harold McGee's piece on MSG which was in the first issue of Lucky Peach. But our stance as a museum on MSG, if that's what you're asking, is that the studies have not borne out whether or not MSG is definitely bad for people. Now obviously everybody's bodies are different so if somebody feels that they react to MSG we're not going to argue with them about that because we don't know what's happening in each other's bodies. But, you know, MSG is used in so many foods in this country in the industrial food system and has been since the 30s in things like Campbell's soup here in the U.S. So, for us, it's not a scary thing. We did talk about in the Flavor exhibition the racist underpinnings of the fear of MSG with "Chinese restaurant syndrome", but again, that's not something that is an active piece of this exhibition.
While conducting research for the CHOW exhibit, did any one dish or food strike you as having a particularly interesting history?
I'm going to sort of answer your question. I became really intrigued by chop suey. We ate a lot of it because our initial thought was that our tasting at our culinary studio for Chow would be chop suey and historic tastings of chop suey. So, we found a lot of historic recipes dating back to the late 1800s for chop suey. We made a lot chop suey and we ate a lot of chop suey. It's one of those things that's funny right, it's one of the first Chinese-American dishes to really blow up if you will. But it's not something that's really on many menus anymore, and even now it's different. Those early recipes show usually a soy or Worcestershire based brown sauce and today chop suey is made with white sauce. It's interesting to me to think about how dishes change over time and why. I didn't look into it very much but I'm still fascinated by the idea that this one dish is a reason that Chinese-American restaurants really become en vogue in the late 1800s/early 1900s but it's something that we don't really eat anymore.
What made you choose to focus on food history?
I majored in history as an undergrad, my full major was social and cultural history which I got at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. While I was at CMU I really thought I was going to be a music journalist. I also minored in clarinet performance so I was taking a lot of music history classes as well. That was where my passions laid. I did take a class where we read Sidney Mintz's book Sweetness and Power about sugar and I was not touched by it. It's a seminal food studies book but I was like "What is this? Why do I care?", which is funny to me thinking about it now. But I finished college and I didn't know how to write for Rolling Stone and didn't really know what was next. I was just working around Pittsburgh and started thinking about food in a different way in my 20s. I was having people over for dinner parties, getting into wine, those sorts of things. I had always been a good eater, both of my parents worked so we spent a lot of time together around the dinner table or in the kitchen on the weekends menu planning or cooking things for the week, or family baking around the holidays. Food was always the center of things that we did when I was growing up. So, it makes sense that I rediscovered that in my early 20s when I was working and forming a household of my own. I started thinking about food differently, I started interacting with food differently, and I started reading food memoirs such as Ruth Reichl and Michael Pollan. I started thinking about how I could have a career in food that wasn't necessarily working in a restaurant because that wasn't something that I was interested in, I didn't want to become a chef. I saw an ad in the newspaper for a food studies program at Chatham [University] which is where I did my master's degree. It really all sort of clicked, it fell into place for me. And of course, while I was there I realized that I could study food history. I think I saw it as the history of a recipe, or of a dish, or of a chef. Which, again, that's not personally where my passion for food history is. I like thinking about people and place and culture and the bearing that has on your food and what you eat and why you eat that, and I really was allowed to do that there. When I moved to New York with a master's degree and again wasn't really sure what I was going to do, I found MOFAD. It was sort of perfect because I had volunteered and interned and worked at history museums while I was in college and after college and then here was this museum that had food as its central focus and it made a lot of sense for me. I lucked out, I think, finding MOFAD and realizing that food history made sense for me, and being able to hold onto it and keep working.
As an undergrad studying history, I feel compelled to ask this question. How did your academic career influence your working career? (The answer to this question was submitted after the interview via email.)
There are the obvious skills around research (using databases to locate materials, analyzing primary and secondary sources, crafting and conducting oral history interviews) and writing (synthesizing and analyzing research, crafting tight and compelling narratives). A few other skills also come to mind that I've jotted down below:
1. Learning the formal way to address and communicate with professors: One of the first things my freshman seminar professor taught our class was the proper way to interact with professors – how to address them in person and over email, how to keep our requests short and respectful. It feels so simple now, but I'm so glad I learned this skill early on in my academic career. At MOFAD, I often have to reach out to professionals, academics and others, with no introduction. Sending that first professional email can set the tone for a productive working relationship.
2. Comfort using non-traditional primary sources: Perhaps "non-traditional" is not quite the right term. Still, I became quite comfortable during my undergraduate coursework for my music degree in using performances, songs, lyrics/poems as primary sources. This has served me well as a food historian where cookbooks, agricultural manuals, and recipes can serve as primary sources.
3. Communicating why you should care: I think this is something I began to learn as an undergrad, but really honed during my graduate work. Whenever I write, I keep the question "But why should I care?" in the back of my mind and try to answer it (sometimes again and again). I think with any topic, but especially with a topic rich in materiality like food, it's so important to convey to your reader why this thing matters, why they should care. What can a historical event teach us about current events that are affecting our daily lives?
Where do you see MOFAD headed in the future?
My dream for MOFAD is that we can continue growing and can continue putting together meaningful and thoughtful exhibitions. We're in a bit of a transition right now. Our next exhibition, which I'm really excited about, is called "African/American: Making the Nation's Table" and it's about the many contributions of African Americans to the creation of American cuisine. As part of that, we won the rights to the Ebony Test Kitchen from the Johnson Publishing Co. building. That was the test kitchen where all of the recipe testing was done for Ebony Magazine, Jet Magazine and also some other Johnson Publishing Co. magazines. It's really exciting for us to have this historic and crazy super psychedelic, 1970's, orange, purple, green, swirly kitchen on display from my hometown of Chicago as part of that. That exhibition will be on show at a different space, not MOFAD Lab but instead at the Africa Center, which is a museum in Harlem. It'll be on display there for six months next year and then it will travel. So that's amazing for us, a travelling exhibition. And then from there, we're figuring out what's next for us, where we'll go. I think that for me and for our staff, we're not trying to be and we don't want to be a place like the Museum of Ice Cream or one of those sort of Instagram "experiential" museums. We are really hoping that people come and they have an "a-ha" moment, and they learn something about food that they didn't know or they're inspired to think deeper about the things that they're putting into their body, or how foods and drinks get to their plates and to their cups. I think that we've been able to do it with our exhibitions so far and I just hope that they keep getting bigger and better.

Last August and part of September, I traveled through the US with the CommRadio CR-1 and a couple of portable antennas: the Par Electronics EF-SWL and NASA PA-30. I had the opportunity to try both in the field, and took notes as I used them. Following is a short review of the Par Electronics EF-SWL.
At the Dayton Hamvention last year, I had the pleasure of speaking with representatives of the North Carolina-based LNR Precision Inc. LNR is a mom-and-pop company with a focus on providing antennas, keys, and transceivers for the ham radio and shortwave listener markets. Indeed I have several SWL friends who use on a daily basis an antenna this company manufactures and retails: the Par Electronics EF-SWL. LNR asked if I would consider reviewing their antenna, and since I was planning a road trip with radios in tow–the perfect opportunity to test such an antenna–I agreed.
The Par Electronics EF-SWL is an end-fed shortwave antenna designed for 1-30 MHz reception. It's a receive only-antenna–perfect for the SWL. The radiator is 45 feet of #14 black polyethylene coated Flex-Weave wire. When I first used the EF-SWL, I noted the quality of its construction: no doubt it can withstand many deployments in all weather conditions–and it's manufactured here in the US.
With a 45′ radiator, the EF-SWL needs a little space, but offers more gain than the other portable antenna I packed, the NASA PA-30 (look for its review in the near future). I put the EF-SWL to use in New Mexico where several large trees were readily available. I hooked the EF-SWL up to the CommRadio CR-1 and simply hung the end of the radiator as high as I could in a nearby tree. Though not a picture-perfect installation, it nonetheless certainly did the trick! I didn't bother with a ground connection as I wasn't in an area with much radio noise (RFI).
In the past, when setting up portable ham radio and shortwave listening, I've typically built my own antenna either for the specific meter band I hoped to use, or brought along a portable antenna tuner. It was quite nice having an antenna designed to be resonant on the broadcast bands.
Though I didn't do this, I did noticed that the EF-SWL's radiator is attached via a stainless stud–Par Electronics did this so you can remove the radiator and replace it with a different wire length. With the stock 45′ radiator, I still find the EF-SWL quite portable, especially when compared with most of the portable amateur radio antennas I use, which tend to take a dipole or delta loop configuration.
After returning from my trip, I decided to hook up the EF-SWL at my home base for longer-term evaluation. These past months I've had it on the air as an auxiliary antenna, and I've been impressed with its performance. In truth, it's not in an optimal location hanging off the corner of my house, but I think this may actually represent with some accuracy the installation most SWLs will likewise be able to provide–in other words, placement that must factor in antenna restrictions or limited space. Of course, for any permanent installation, you will need to ground the EF-SWL for lower noise reception.
And yet, even in these suboptimal conditions, the antenna performs remarkably well.
As with any exterior antenna, of course, take precautions against lightening if you live in an area with thunder storms. If nothing else, at least disconnect the antenna when not in use.
Moving forward, I will plan to relocate the EF-SWL to a more ideal permanent location and most likely purchase another to keep in my antenna bag. I hope to use this antenna in a DXpedition I've planned later this year.
The EF-SWL retails for $75 US directly from LNR Pecision or $72 US from Universal Radio.
Note that LNR also sells a number of QRP field-portable transceivers: the LD-5, FX-4a and Mountain Topper. Click here for more details.

I've had one of these in use for a few years now. In fact I bought mine back when Dale Parfitt (W4OP) was selling them from his website at Par Electronics. It is indeed everything that people says it is, and I can't say anything but good stuff about such a simple and basic antenna that simply works, and works well.
I too have the PAR-EF SWL. I find the reception to be a great improvement over a 75 foot random wire in the attic at home. The problem is it does not roll and unroll without tending to entangle itself from bends or kinks that form in the wire. I find it hard, therefore to take it out and later store it away . Any recommendations on how to end the problem, so I can use it for its portability?
The easiest thing I've found though are good plastic cable reels–they do a better job keeping the line from kinking.
Thanks, for the information. I will look into it further to see how it works out for me.
These work quite well, too (Duck decoy cord/Paracord rope line organizer).
Do you ever post a review of the other antenna? I am looking a buy one soon and would like to hear your option of both the Par Electronics EF-SWL and NASA PA-30.
Thanks for the reminder, Keith! That poor review is buried in my drafts folder–completely forgotten. Let me dig it out and give it a dusting (editing!). Coming soon.
Yes, I too would definitely like to see that EF-SWL vs. NASA PA-30 comparison (or simply a PA-30 review). I have the latter and with a 43 of 43 eham.net perfect review score for the EF-SWL, I will likely purchase that as my next SWL Dx antenna.
Do you have any comparisons between the PAR antenna and say, a Wellbrook loop-type antenna? It would be interesting to hear a comparison or two. Perhaps other readers have both antennas and could run a test and post some results. Have you used any kind of pre-amp with the PAR, and if so, was their any significant improvement?
I have two Pars SWL antennas. One I use as a sloper, the other is attached to a 42 foot vertical pole. Both antennas due well for SW DXing although I have not used one yet as a portable on a DX trip. It is well built and sturdy. They were both worth the price.
I use this exact antenna for all of my shortwave listening. I find it to be the perfect compromise of size versus performance. I even use a splitter to share the signal between my JRC NRD 545 and an Icom R75. If you check my YouTube channel you will find many reception examples.
I have no regrets with this antenna – really well constructed too.

Modern philosopher Alain de Botton has revised his best-selling 2002 book The Art of Travel, with a new chapter on how travel can improve our mental wellbeing.
At the back of The New Art of Travel, which is published by Penguin and sponsored by Airbnb, is a chapter called A Psychological Atlas. The idea is that different destinations could be prescribed by "psychotherapeutic travel agencies" as a means to better you as a person.
De Botton recommends travelling to specific places in the world to help you confront certain aspects of yourself – you think all you are craving is sun, for example, when actually what you need is a place to help you deal with your anxiety.
In an article on The Philosopher's Mail, De Botton writes: "At its deepest level, travel can assist us with our psychological education. It can – when approached the right way – play a critical role in helping us to grow into better versions of our normal selves.
"When it corrects the imbalances and immaturities of our natures, travel reveals its full potential to function as a form of therapy in our lives.
"But in order to work a therapeutic effect, we need to change how we go about choosing our destinations. We should recognise that we're badly served here by the travel industry, which cuts the world up into material categories almost entirely unattuned to the needs of our souls.
De Botton says: "The outer journey should assist us with the inner one." His Psychological Atlas also offer remedies for dissatisfaction, snobbery, inhibition, impermanence, thinking and stress.
While a trip like this might be a bit extreme, you could always try visiting an orphanage in Kolkata or a slum in Nairobi.
In The Philosopher's Mail he writes: "No one has yet written a psychological atlas of the world, outlining the so-called psychological virtues of places, but it's a project that urgently needs to be undertaken.
"In the future, we would ideally be more conscious travellers – aware that we were on a search for places that could deliver psychological virtues like 'calm' or 'perspective,' 'sensuality' or 'rigour'.
"A visitor to Monument Valley wouldn't just be in it for a bit of undefined 'adventure', something to enjoy and then gradually forget about two weeks later; travelling to the place would be an occasion fundamentally to reorient one's personality.
In an article for The Telegraph, Anna Hart investigates why so many of us can feel disappointed by our holidays and takes advice from De Botton on where to go next. He prescribes Detroit, a run-down city in the US, to help her gain perspective in her life.
Hart writes: "An industrial boomtown which became an economic disaster zone, declining at a rate where it lost a quarter of its population in a decade, doesn't seem like a good place to go for a holiday.

(Editor's note: Story by Montana Sports Information)
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Jensen Lillquist's illustrious career came to a close on Friday, with the senior javelin thrower placing 21st at the NCAA West Regional.
Lillquist had a decent day, throwing a top mark of 214-2, but once again came up painfully short in his quest to reach nationals. The four-time regionals qualifier needed to increase his throw by 7 feet to reach the top 12 and advance to Austin, Texas, next month.
Lillquist is fully capable of reaching that mark, doing so five times in the past two seasons including a lifetime-best throw of 232-6 at the Big Sky Championships earlier this month. That mark would have ranked fourth on Friday.
"There's a pit in my stomach for Jensen," head coach Brian Schweyen said. "In my extended years of coaching, it's one of the most confident I've ever been going into a meet. He was prepared and ready to go, and had three throws in warmups that all would have been good enough to go to nationals."
The heartbreak is a familiar scene for Lillquist, who twice previously placed 14th at regionals, missing out on nationals by as little as 2 feet.
Still, Lillquist will close his Grizzly career as one of the school's top javelin throwers, winning a pair of Big Sky titles in the event and reaching the podium on four occasions. He qualified for regionals all four years of his career, the first male athlete to do so under Schweyen.
"I feel absolutely horrible for Jensen," Schweyen said. "Everyone works hard, but Jensen is on another level with the amount of time and effort he puts in. I told him after the meet that this doesn't change the fact that he's an incredible person who has had an incredible career and will go on and do great things in his life."
Montana's sixth and final regionals participant, Brent Yeakey, will compete Saturday in the shot put, which is scheduled to begin at 3:45 p.m. MT.

One of my executive coaching clients came to me with a really strong business idea. She had been dreaming about opening her own business for years. She had closely related experience and was pretty tech-savvy, which would come in handy when managing a remote business and working with clients virtually. But she lacked a few key tools for success. She had few contacts in the industry, and she seemed intimidated to meet people or attend events (network). She lacked knowledge and experience in sales and marketing (big components in starting and managing a business).
And one more fatal error: She thought she had things figured out. Ah, yes… the ego. In fact, she had already hired a graphic designer to create a logo. And she'd settled on her business name. During our first meeting (there were not many afterward), I cautioned her that both the logo and name would not attract clients. In fact, they would serve as deterrents. However, because of the money invested and the bruised ego, maybe, she decided to forge ahead.
Many months later, the business is still simply an idea.
Unfortunately, this happens sometimes. The primary soft skill all business owners must possess in order to succeed is humility, followed by willingness, open-mindedness, and honesty. When those soft skills and character traits aren't present, there's little hope for progress.
On the flip side, brilliant results follow when business owners admit they don't know what they're doing or that they have a problem, and they ask for help in solving the problem.
I am currently working with an amazing serial entrepreneur, a woman who decided to strike out and open yet another business. She is totally fearless yet proceeds with caution when starting new endeavors. She knows what she does not know. She seeks help with those things. Thankfully, she sought my help. We're currently working to create her website, design a logo, write all her content, design marketing pieces (with the help of a graphic designer), and beef up her social media presence.
The difference between these two entrepreneurs is humility. The first lacked humility and clung to ego. The second humbly sought help and acknowledged her need for assistance immediately. The first was unwilling to admit she might be wrong and would not give up her ideas or creative work. The second is honest with herself and can see her own deficiencies. She is constantly revising based on feedback and doesn't take constructive criticism personally. The first considered herself the ultimate expert. The second understands the need to hire experts in certain areas to save herself time, effort, and money.
Which type of entrepreneur or business owner are you?
There's a reason the second entrepreneur in this article is a serial entrepreneur and that each business she has started has been very successful. I'd suggest emulating her.
If you want to get on the right path with your business, contact me to discuss executive coaching packages.

At IEDM in December, Gary Dagastine is one of the people responsible for press relations for the conference. My piece about Chips and Technologies, the First Fabless Company reminded him that back in that time, he did some work with Jim Dykes on a presentation to Montgomery Securities. Montgomery Securities was one of the three independent San Francisco-based investment banks, along with Hambrecht and Quist, and Roberson Stevens. All three were absorbed into bigger banks in the mid- to late 1990s, ending an era.
It turns out that the presentation was exactly 30 years ago today, January 28, 1988. The name Jim Dykes probably doesn't ring many bells, but the company where he was CEO will. For the first year or so of its existence, Jim was the CEO of TSMC. Morris Chang, who would take over as CEO, was chairman of the board (and so Jim's boss).
It is an interesting speech to read, since TSMC had been founded just a few months earlier, and so all of the huge success that we know about lay in the future. It is easy to forget that Taiwan as a whole was a country in transition, indeed his friends thought it odd that he had moved there. As Jim said early in his speech:
TAIWAN TODAY IS EXPERIENCING A RARE PERIOD OF ENLIGHTENMENT. MARTIAL LAW HAS BEEN LIFTED, NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP AND CONTROL WAS REVISED ON JANUARY 1, BOATING AND COASTAL FISHING ARE BEING FACILITATED AS RECREATIONAL AND TOURIST ATTRACTIONS, IMPORT TARIFFS ARE BEING SHARPLY REDUCED, AND THE STANDARD OF LIVING IS RISING AT A RECORD RATE.
As you can see from the front page of Jim's speech, he titled it The Four Little Dragons of the Orient and an Emerging Role for Semiconductor Companies. The four little dragons were Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong (still a colony of Britain), and Taiwan. The big dragon was Japan. Already you can see just what a different era it was. Japan was scary, China didn't even merit a mention!
Jim went into some of TSMC's finances. It has an initial authorized capitalization of $193M and their new fab (fab II) was set for groundbreaking just a couple of months later. Cost of that fab? $220M, which is approximately 1/40th of the cost of a modern fab. I think that is about the cost of two EUV steppers. At that point, the ownership was 48% government of Taiwan, Philips (the Dutch company, at the time with a semiconductor division called Philips Semiconductors, that would become NXP) owned 28%, and the rest some private investors.
The vision of what TSMC would become was already locked down at that early point:
I MAINTAIN WE ARE NO LESS THAN A PRECURSOR OF AN ENTIRELY NEW WAY OF DOING BUSINESS IN SEMICONDUCTORS. WE ARE A VALUE-ADDED MANUFACTURER WITH A UNIQUE CHARTER...WE CAN HAVE NO DESIGNS OR PRODUCTS OF OUR OWN. T-S-M-C WAS ESTABLISHED TO BRIDGE THE GAP...BETWEEN WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS CAN DESIGN...AND WHAT THEY CAN MARKET.
WE CONSIDER OURSELVES TO BE A STRATEGIC MANUFACTURING RESOURCE...NOT AN OPPORTUNISTIC ONE. WE EXIST BECAUSE TODAY'S SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANIES AND USERS NEED A MANUFACTURING PARTNER THEY CAN TRUST...AND OUR APPROACH...WHERE WE AND OUR CUSTOMERS IN EFFECT SPREAD COSTS AMONG MANY USERS...YET ACHIEVE THE ECONOMICS EACH SEEKS...MAKES IT A WIN-WIN FOR EVERYONE.
UMC, across the road in Hsinchu, was created a lot earlier than TSMC, and were already a $100M company when Jim gave his presentation. But it would only become a pure-play foundry in the 1990s. So TSMC was the first pure-play foundry, founded in 1987.
TSMC had advanced technology, running 2um and 1.5um, with a path to 1.2um and submicron by 1990. That was roughly two process generations behind the most advanced IDMs—although we didn't call them that back then, they were just semiconductor companies. Their total capacity was 10,000 6" wafers per month. That is equivalent to 2,500 12" (300mm) wafers per month...a modern fab has capacity more like 50,000 300mm wafers per month. In total, TSMC manufactured over 10 million wafers in 2016.
The big question investors asked was apparently "Is there really a market for all of this capacity? Who needs it?" Of course, having seen how the fabless revolution has played out, this is almost comical, but a lot of people were unconvinced that the model would work. Remember that only a couple of years earlier, Chips and Technologies had difficulty raising money since investors couldn't understand the concept of a fabless semiconductor company—and their first real money came from a real-estate investor who didn't know the difference. TSMC understood though, and one of the five categories of customers for TSMC were "so-called fabless start-up companies."
When TSMC polled customers about issues, the most common response was "My foundry should be my partner, not my competitor." Even in 1987, the relationships were starting to mature, with foundries becoming strategic manufacturing partners:
COMPANIES AND THEIR FOUNDRIES WILL SHARE CAPITAL PLANS AND PROCESS TECHNOLOGY STREAMS. COMPANIES AND THEIR FOUNDRIES WILL OBJECTIVELY EXCHANGE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE...RESULTING IN FASTER AND BETTER ENGINEERING DECISIONS. SOPHISTICATED CUSTOMERS WILL ESTABLISH DEDICATED INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS TO MANAGE FOUNDRY QUALIFICATION AND PRODUCTION. THESE NEW AND STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS WILL SET A PATTERN FOR THE SUCCESSFUL USE OF FOUNDRIES IN THE FUTURE.
TSMC was the first pure-play foundry. But others were watching. UMC later transitioned, but very soon after TSMC got started, Singapore announced the creation of Chartered Semiconductor (now part of GLOBALFOUNDRIES):
WE FEEL T-S-M-C'S THEME OF "PARTNER, NOT COMPETITOR" HAS TRIGGERED AN ENORMOUS RESPONSE FROM THE MARKETPLACE. OUR COOPERATIVE APPROACH TO MANUFACTURING IS BEING VALIDATED...NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF OUR SALES OPPORTUNITIES..BUT BECAUSE WE SEE OTHERS COPYING THE IDEA. I AM REFERRING TO THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT OF CHARTER [sic] SEMICONDUCTOR...TO BE BASED IN SINGAPORE.
Foundry and Fabless Win
It is interesting to see how little has changed in 30 years. The basic idea of a foundry with no product lines of its own, and fabless semiconductor companies, and partnering with customers in long-term manufacturing relationships, were all in place from the start. Of course, the numbers for investments, process geometries, wafer capacities are all amusing. Moore's Law is exponential, and Moore's so-called second law, about the cost of fabs doubling every four years, is also exponential.
I just looked on TSMC's website and one of the things that remains consistent all the way back to this presentation 30 years ago is:
5. Treating Customers as Partners
Since the company was founded, we have treated our customers as partners and have never competed against them. This policy is the key to our current success and will be crucial to our continued growth. At TSMC, customers come first. Their success is our success, and we value their ability to compete as we value our own
What was not so obvious back then, 30 years ago today, was just how dominant the fabless/foundry model would become. Foundries and fabless companies feature in the top 10 semiconductor companies today (yes, there is some double counting going on, but that is a second-order error). I think that 30 years ago, a lot of people assumed that when the fabless companies grew up, and had enough demand, they would build their own fabs. But nobody ever did. Foundries' victory was total. And far and away the most successful foundry is TSMC.
