Grand Street and Intersection of Summit Avenue and Ivy Place
The former Library Hall on Grand Street is one of Jersey City's many restoration projects that carry forward a piece of the community's history.
The five-story red brick structure was a multipurpose building constructed for the Township of Bergen in 1865-66 and was used by Bergen City, 1868-1870. It was a time of transition for the nation just after the Civil War and five years before the incorporation of the City of Jersey City in 1870. The Township's Bergen Library Association intended the building to be a civic center boasting the first public lending library, as the name conveyed, a town hall and jail, and a meeting place for community organizations. According to reporter Ricardo Kaulessar, "by 1871, the library portion of the facility was discontinued due to waning public interest." It reportedly had 14,000 books.
The triangular-shaped building continued to be used by clubs and organizations such as the Lincoln Association of Jersey City, which held its first Lincoln Ball on Christmas Eve in 1867 at the site. Church groups such as the former St. John's Episcopal Church rented the facility, and it was a popular venue for social events and political rallies.
With the formation of the municipality of Jersey City in 1870 and by the World War I era, the building lost its original purposes and was either vacant or used commercially. In 1891 the Bergen Hall Association sold the building to Dominicus Wegman. The Fourth Precinct of the Jersey City Police Department occupied the building during the 1890s. Kaulessar notes that afterward, "it was known as Phoenix Hall, a rally spot for those sympathetic to the Irish Revolution that occurred at the beginning of the 20th century." In 1917, the Junction Milling Company, opposite the building, used it for storage. In December of 1945, Milton Michael of Michael's Furniture bought the building as a salesroom and warehouse, and then, at some future date, it became the National Rug and Carpet Store.
In 2005, Larry Brush of Jersey City purchased the building and Minervini-Vandermark Architecture of Hoboken began the restoration of the sturdy mid-nineteenth century building in the Morris Canal Development area. The original three-story Romanesque windows direct one's eyes to the gray brick-and-glass designed penthouses added as an extension to the roof. It has fourteen condominium units: "Although the decision to remove the mansard roof and add the penthouse is debatable from a pure preservation perspective, the original footprint and walls remain effectively tying the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries on the significant corner" (Harris and Yost 43).

Tomi Otudeko is the Head of Innovation and Sustainability at the Honeywell Group. She is also Director of Itanna, a venture investing platform for tech startups. She opens up on her life and finding success within failure.
I can trace my success back to my childhood; being raised by a mother and father who never told me I was limited and encouraged me to pursue whatever goal I chose for myself.
I wouldn't say there was a clear plan; the only thing I was truly clear on was that I would make impact and leave my imprint on this world. I believe that each of us is here for a purpose and once we find that purpose, things fall into place.
As a young child, I had difficulty with reading, spelling and writing. When I read letters, (particularly P, D, Q & B) sometimes floated on the page and made it hard to follow, while my writing and spelling were poor. It caused some people to label me as "slow" and got me punished for the quality of my work. It affected my learning and led to some difficult times in primary school.
I changed schools to a more nurturing environment and at 11I got tested and was diagnosed with dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling. It's a specific learning difficulty, which means it causes problems with certain abilities used for learning, such as reading and writing. It tends to affect each person differently. Unlike a learning disability, intelligence isn't affected.
My diagnosis was the "best" thing that ever happened to me. It made me realise that there wasn't anything wrong with me. I was just different and learnt differently. From then on, I had great support and started creating structures to learn effectively given my difficulties. Over the years, I have come to see dyslexia less like a challenge and more of a blessing because it made me understand that irrespective of a setback I could rise above it and still attain my goals. This mindset has helped shape me into the woman I am today.
The spark to my success came from my first real taste of failure. Growing up, I had a thirst for knowledge and despite my learning difficulties, I did well. Without much effort, I left secondary school with 3 A's in my A Levels and entered university. What I didn't realise was that university wouldn't be as easy as secondary school and getting the grades I wanted and expected would require me to work harder. By the time I started to put in the work, it was too late and I ended up leaving university with a 2:2. For me, that was "failure" because I knew I hadn't worked as hard as I could and performed lower than I expected. It severely affected my confidence but was also the turning point for me. It made me realise that I had to take my success into my hands. I saw the power of hard work and knew that things wouldn't just be handed to me. Since then every success I have had has been underpinned by hard work and grit.
Vision is critical to success. A great man once said, "empires of the future are the empires of the mind." Everyone must be encouraged to dream, to cultivate and nurture vision. So for me, it all starts with a clearly defined purpose. There will always be challenges but rather than dwell on them, we have to ensure that we do not lose sight of the overarching objective.
In recent times, I have set personal goals and tried to map out the skills, people and experience I need to help me achieve these goals. I work towards preparing myself, so that when God presents me with an opportunity, I am ready to take advantage of it.
You cannot do it alone and I am supported by friends and family that have allowed me to be who I am today. I am one of seven siblings. I also have friends that have become like family. My family – biological and non-biological – is the core of my network. They are "My People".
My people are my cheerleaders, my sounding board and the people who keep me in check. You need people like that in your life, people who remind you who you are. People who hold you accountable and encourage you to be the best you can be.
In my career, I have experienced the power of your network. It is important to be available to help others in your network, and don't be afraid to tap into your network so you can achieve your goals.
There have been so many memorable days. In recent times though, seeing the work we are doing at Itanna come together with our first demo day at the end of last year, was the most rewarding experience. It excites me that I am supporting new companies while also helping to secure the future of one of Nigeria's foremost indigenous companies.
Never allow yourself to accept the status quo, look for solutions to problems around you. As we already do, we must leverage on the culture of hard work that is expected of us early in life. We must be knowledgeable, resourceful and value creators. With that, we cannot be ignored and society will have to give us our rightful place on the table.
You need people who remind you who you are. People who hold you accountable and encourage you to be the best you can be.
Work towards preparing yourself, so that when God presents you with an opportunity you are ready to take advantage of it.


Compact Fluorescent lights (CFLs) are smaller versions of fluorescent lights that were originally designed as pre-heat lamps, but are now available in rapid-start form. CFLs have largely replaced incandescent light bulbs in households because they last longer and are much more electrically efficient.
In some cases, CFLs are also used as grow lights. Like standard fluorescent lights, they are useful for propagation and situations where relatively low light levels are needed.
Unlike HID lights, CFLs fit in a standard mogul light socket and don't need a separate ballast.

Asia Congress Agrees Children Should Have Access to Contraception and Abortion
By: Carmel Nisha Pius Franco
In: Reproductive Health/Family Planning
Tagged: Contraception, India, Reproductive Health/Family Planning
"1 in 5 World's adolescents lives in Asia," was the outcry at the Eleventh World Congress for Adolescent Health in India last month, where 1100 delegates from over sixty countries, UN agencies, NGOs, governmental agencies, and research institutions gathered on October 27th.
The event succeeded in instilling panic and urgency among participants by gross misrepresentation of data. And delegates called for an almost wartime effort to make policy and legal change to promote contraception and abortion for children in developing countries alongside increased investments on Adolescent health.
The panic expressed at the congress about children and young people not having access to contraception and abortion raises the specter of a neo Malthusian race-centered agenda. Its final recommendations bear this out.
Developing countries, experts at the congress explained, can reap a demographic dividend, because of their young populations. In fact, developed countries facing a demographic winter are draining developing countries of their best and brightest workers, making it harder for that dividend to materialize. The only solution offered by congress participants was more contraception and abortion for young people.
While regional problems of Adolescent health differ greatly across nations, the symposium focused solely on thrusting the ideas of the 'Sexual Revolution' as a quick fix to transform poor nations. There was no discussion of fertility awareness methods to teach families to delay pregnancy and abstinence was ridiculed as unsuitable to protect adolescent health.
Countries that differ in approaches to many issues they face appear to be bullied to adopt only one solution to population challenges: more condoms and abortion.
The meeting's final recommendations disregarded many important cultural and regional differences. For example, the age of consent for sex in India and Nigeria is eighteen. Conference recommendations suggested these countries should be subjected to international pressure to change their laws to advance "sexual and reproductive health" and "reproductive rights." Specifically, the conference says to lifting any barrier that might affect the procurement of contraception and abortion by those below eighteen years.
One of the speakers, Suzanne Petroni, founder of Gender Equity Solutions, repeatedly insisted on challenging the existing social norms about what she termed the "right to choose." She claimed this right is denied to a very large number of young people in developing nations like India.
This meeting's agenda focused on the destruction of family and pro-life values in the developing countries. The strategy to achieve these goals includes reducing parental involvement in the life of children, prematurely sexualizing children by introducing explicit sex education curricula, and subverting socio cultural norms of these countries.
On the issue of parental consent, Professor Philip Jaffé, from the Center for Children's Rights Studies, University of Geneva, said, "We should view decision making as a collaborative process between the children and their healthcare provider, sometimes involving their parents …under Belgium law, children of any age have the right to request assisted suicide." He clarified that at any age a child may under specific circumstances make the ultimate decision to die with the consent of his or her parents. "This dear colleagues is ultimate role reversal because in none of the cases have any of the parents really had a choice and they always consented to their child's decision," he grinned.
This symposium calls for "a rights based approach" to adolescent health, which implies promotion of "sexual and reproductive health" and "gender ideology." How can a ten-year-old child even have a say on contraception, or make decisions about sexual intercourse without having been abused or exploited, their innocence violated? Children are being denied their basic right to be a child, to have a safe and healthy childhood, especially in poor nations. The attack is not just on the child inside the womb but also outside the womb.
The congress was organized by the International Association for Adolescent Health along with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and MAMTA Institute for Mother and Child with worldwide partner organizations.

On the IWT horizon: Species discoveries and descriptions that fuel wildlife trafficking
Catherine Workman
It is tragic, but true that scientists cannot always be honest in describing where newly discovered species live, as that information can be – and has been – used by wildlife traffickers.
With scientific research increasingly available and open to the public online, poachers are more easily able to use scientific publications and other media outlets that describe commercially valuable new species and their locations for their own benefit. Beautiful and unique plant and animal species, especially those with small home ranges endemic to islands or specialized habitats are particularly vulnerable. This isn't alarmist speculation: a newly discovered Vietnamese orchid was wiped out by commercial collectors less than a year after researchers identified and described it; similarly, a turtle from the Indonesian island of Roti was nearly driven to extinction shortly after scholars published its description and location. These are just two instances; examples abound.
The problem is not only restricted to species collected for the pet trade. Plants and animals collected for use in Traditional Chinese Medicine and animals desired for the bushmeat trade are also targeted once discovered. For example, the silver-backed chevrotain, a so-called 'mouse-deer' was rediscovered in 2019 in Vietnam after 30 years of the scientific world believing it had been driven to extinction. The authors withheld detailed geographic information, given the region's extensive commercial wildlife trade, and the chevrotain's popularity as wildlife meat.

If locality data are endangering species scientists themselves want to protect, why not omit such information altogether? There are valid reasons to publish species discoveries and descriptions. Describing new species encourages additional research that is needed to develop conservation measures on what are often endangered species. Species discoveries are also a fantastic way to excite the general public about the natural world.
Unfortunately, there has yet to be a unified approach by scientists, journals, or media outlets (or much coordination in general) in reporting discoveries and sharing species descriptions. For instance, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) stores nonpublic maps of some endangered species threatened by trade; some journals do the same. While publishing, some scientists and scientific journals withhold sensitive, detailed data from species descriptions, while some authors provide that information only upon request. Others have called for scientists to exercise self-censorship and only share detailed locality information with governments. Yet, some still refuse to withhold such details entirely.
Given this fragmented approach to publishing location information, how can scientists and publishers resolve and realign objectives? There is an inexorable push towards more open access data, exasperated by the scientific desire to be complete and factually descriptive, but along with that data need, there are paramount policy concerns of confidentiality. If all organizations could adopt and adhere to a single framework of policies to limit access to sensitive information, it would make it more difficult for illicit traders to find newly described (or rediscovered) species. This would certainly ensure the tools and information of scientists aren't used to harm the species that they seek to study. Given that some mediums do not yet exclude or discourage geographic coordinates, now is the time for new policies and the adoption of formal guidelines to withhold locality data, especially for those species likely to be in high demand due to their beauty or uniqueness.
Horizon scan issue no. 14: New species discoveries or descriptions affecting illegal wildlife trade of those species. Illustration Credit: Sofiya Shukhova
In our recently published Emerging illegal wildlife trade issues: a global horizon scan, we highlight species discoveries and descriptions aiding and increasing trafficking as one of the top 20 significant issues affecting the illegal wildlife trade. Since the initiation of the horizon scan in 2018, a co-author helped write and publish another paper stressing the importance of security considerations in publishing conservation spatial data. That paper proposed using geo-indistinguishability to preserve location privacy, a novel approach in conservation, which should be encouraged and if widely adopted by the scientific community could avoid future harm.
Our paper (see Supplementary Material Appendix 3) offers other solutions, such as conducting market research to address taxa or groups that are particularly vulnerable (such as orchids mentioned above) and adapting strategies accordingly to minimize the risk of illegal commercial exploitation. We also suggest that risk communications be targeted to value chain participants, being careful not to unintentionally increase desirability to consumers. Here's to the hope that in the coming years scientists and publishers take more concrete, standardized action to close gaps with effective policies and realign competing demands: to publish and share data whilst conserving imperiled species.
This is a part of the On the IWT horizon series for proactive engagement with wildlife trade issues in an unsettled world.

Wednesday 5th September 2018 has seen SCLT enrichment presenter Ash Jones, accepting an invitation to join the monthly meeting of the Isle of Longwell Green Probus Club at their base at Longwell Green Community Cente on Shellards Road, to deliver one of the charity's highly regarded senior safety presentations. The SCLT Charity specializes in providing highly informative, yet also enjoyably entertaining presentations to senior groups of all kinds, to help elder citizens avoid the dangers of financial abuse from the many frauds and scams that seem to circulate like seasonal viruses around the neighbourhood.
At the conclusion of his visit, Ash commented, "I have really enjoyed joining the gentlemen of the Longwell Green Probus Club for their regular meeting today. It is a personal pleasure to deliver this senior safety presentation to the members and to offer them tips and advice on staying safe. This support could mean the difference between falling victim to a fraud or spotting it as a scam and taking the appropriate action.

Traveler, License Plate Images Breached in Cyber Attack: CBP
on Jun11
by admin | Comments Off on Traveler, License Plate Images Breached in Cyber Attack: CBP |
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that as of Monday no traveler or license plate image data accessed during a May 31 cyber attack has appeared on the dark web or internet.
According to CBP, a subcontractor transferred copies of traveler and license plate images to their company network which was subsequently breached.
The subcontractor transferred the images without the agency's knowledge or authorization, CBP said.
CBP has reached out to members of Congress, other law enforcement agencies, and cyber security entities as part of its investigation of the incident. The CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility is also involved in the investigation.
House to Hold First Hearing on Mueller Report
The agency said the subcontractor "violated mandatory security and privacy protocols outlined in their contract.
"Government use of biometric and personal identifiable information can be valuable tools only if utilized properly. Unfortunately, this is the second major privacy breach at [the Department of Homeland Security] this year. We must ensure we are not expanding the use of biometrics at the expense of the privacy of the American public. I intend to hold hearings next month on Homeland Security's use of biometric information," Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, said in a statement.
CBP said none of its own systems were compromised, and has taken all of the equipment related to the breach out of service.
An expert told NBC 7 that traveler photos, which like fingerprints fall under the umbrella of biometric data, are extremely valuable to hackers, especially as the use of facial recognition technology becomes more widespread.
Eva Velasquez with the Identity Theft Resource center said the black market for biometric data is relatively unestablished, but it's likely it won't stay that way for long.
"These things, they stay in perpetuity," Velasquez said. "It's not going to disintegrate. So even in this moment, if there isn't a way to monetize, that doesn't mean 10 years from now that might not be more valuable."
Dean Draws Parallels Between Watergate, Mueller Report
According to Velasquez, thieves can create profiles of people using biometric data and combine them with other information about you — financial or personal records obtained in other breaches, for example. The more information they have, the more valuable their profile of you becomes.
"The fact that it's not on [the dark web] means that its not currently being sold, but I also don't want people to think, 'Well that means there's no harm for me in the future,'" Velasquez said.
Anyone who fears their personal information is at risk can get free help from the Identity Theft Resource Center.

Prospect Park has provided an escape from everyday city life since the mid-nineteenth century. Although many have focused on this important and enduring function, the park's varied expanses of meadows, woods, and water were designed to offer far more. Civic leaders viewed the park as integral to the success of the rapidly growing and modernizing city of Brooklyn. They emphasized the park's social, spiritual, and public health benefits. Civic leaders also wanted the park and its adjacent Eastern and Ocean parkways to shape the city's development. This would, they hoped, enhance Brooklyn's reputation as an attractive, healthful, and desirable place to live.
The Nethermead Arches, Late 19th Century.
The Park comprises a living, layered history. Additions have been made to its mid- nineteenth century romantic landscape architecture and architecture over the years as design tastes and ideas of recreation have changed. Fortunately, few of these have compromised the Park's original design, which means that visitors can enjoy a relatively vast, open, unprogrammed space in the middle of one of the world's most populous cities. Like most public spaces, Prospect Park has experienced cycles of decline and regeneration in relation to the City's financial health. The Park reached its lowest point during New York City's budget crisis of the late 1960s and '70s. As with Central Park, local citizens formed groups to preserve and restore Prospect Park. The Prospect Park Alliance, a private-public partnership with the City of New York and the surrounding community, formed in 1987. (It was modeled on the Central Park Conservancy, which formed in 1980.) The Alliance has restored several of the Park's landscapes, such as the Ravine. It has also restored key structures, such as the Carousel and various bridges and arches. Its most recent project entails a major restoration along a segment of the Lake shoreline adjacent to the Concert Grove.

Our Shelter
Words from Residents
Thrift & Gift Shop
ECHO's History
In 1992 the Ecumenical Council of Calvert County formed a task force to start a Homeless shelter: the Ecumenical Council for the HOmeless. Project ECHO, Inc. was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit and in 1993 our emergency shelter opened with 16 beds. In 2010, our current residence opened with room enough for 40-plus men, women, and children. More than just beds and meals, we provide a clean, safe, family-friendly environment to those who need it most. Our unique 90 day program gives each resident the opportunity to stabilize his or her life and offers many supplemental programs that encourage personal growth and independence.
What many people may not know is that Project ECHO, Inc. has been more than just an emergency shelter for many years. In 2000 we began to branch out with a transitional housing program for families. In 2012 we included a program for people in recovery and opened our first Oxford House. In 2015 we expanded into permanent housing with a shared-living program for individuals experiencing homelessness. We have since opened a second Oxford House and a second shared-living house. In 2017 we opened our very own thrift store in an effort to become more fiscally independent.
Our organization is small but the support we receive from the community is great and with that support we're able to help people make huge changes in their lives. We encourage you to contact us and visit our shelter to learn more about the things we do, the people we serve and the ways in which you can get involved.

Teach Yourself Modern and Contemporary Art Bibliography, Part 1: Modern Art in the second half of the 19th century
This post was inspired by family members and friends who have told me they want a better understanding of Modern and Contemporary Art, but don't know where to start. The list below is a work in progress and primarily covers the second half of the 19th century in Europe, starting with the Pre-Raphaelites in England and Courbet in France, and concluding with the fin de siècle (a bibliography for the 20th century will be forthcoming). It is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to provide a list of possible readings that I have personally found interesting and believe others would find useful and enjoyable.
Starred entries are texts that are particularly good for casual readers looking for a solid and enjoyable introduction to a subject.

Survey textbooks
I am generally not a fan of broad survey books, but these do a good job of giving contextual information while providing a linking narrative. They also cover most of the major movements and figures I have left out in the other sections.
Chu, Petra ten-Doesschate. Nineteenth-Century European Art. New York: Harry N. Abrams, 2003.
Arnason, H. H. and Elizabeth Mansfield. History of Modern Art (6th edition). Prentice Hall, 2009.
Gamwell, Lynn. Exploring the Invisible: Art, Science, and the Spiritual. Princeton: Princeton University, 2002.
This book begins in the mid-19th century and concludes in the early 20th century. It is a great alternative to a regular survey book for those who are particularly interested in the role of science in Modern art.

Tate Britain has the best collection of Pre-Raphaelite and Victorian paintings in the world, including important works by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Elizabeth Siddall, Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, William Holman Hunt, John William Waterhouse, and Richard Dadd. Their collection is available online, and many objects are accompanied by useful texts.

Ensor:

This slim and inexpensive volume is a good introduction to Ensor, his work, and his context. Images are mostly in color and many are large-scale.
Swinbourne, Anna, et al. James Ensor. New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2009.
Although there is no substitute for seeing Ensor's highly textured paintings and prints in person, MoMA's catalogue is about as close as one can get through reproductions. Particularly useful essays include Swinbourne's "Meeting James Ensor" and Susan Canning's "James Ensor: Carnival of the Modern."
Gauguin:
Solomon-Godeau, A. "Going Native," Art in America (July 1989), 118-29.
This article addresses Gauguin's self-created myth of primitivism and the social desires which continue to perpetuate this fantasy. Assumes some basic familiarity with Gauguin's work, but is still broadly accessible.

Morisot:
*Higonnet, Anne. Berthe Morisot. New York: Harper and Row, 1990.
This is an enjoyable read that centers on the life of an important Impressionist who is usually only dealt with in a very cursory way. It provides a personal glimpse into the world of the Impressionists and the Parisian art scene in and around the 1870s. Recommended for every reader.

The text, especially the introduction, is very useful in introducing Rodin and his reception. The images, however, are few and are better for context than for appreciating his sculpture.

See especially "Freud's Cezanne,"even though it deals with the last paintings of Cezanne's career which he made in the first years of the 20th century.This is a dense but rewarding group of essays. A must for serious students, but casual readers may find it too demanding for their needs.

Non-Western Modernism in the 19th-century: examples from Japan and Native America
There are a number of problems in attempting to create a "global" bibliography of Modernism. Modernism, after all, meant different things in different cultures, and the changes that took place came about in different ways, for different reasons, at different times, with different implications. Not having a background in the history of each—or having a much stronger background in one—tends to mean the privileging of one culture over the others and inevitably skews our understanding of Modernism as a global phenomenon. The difference in timelines (and academic traditions) also brings up very practical problems of where to start and cut-off bibliographies. All of that being said, I tend to think the results are worse when we treat Modernism only from the perspective of Europe and the European-derived cultures of the Americas.
My own background is in Western/non-Western trans-cultural art, meaning that the circumstances with which I am most familiar are either Europeans or Euro-Americans utilizing or attempting to understand traditions from other parts of the world (mostly Japan, Native America, and Africa), or artists from Japan, Native America, and Africa dealing with, confronting, and using traditions from Western cultures. Therefore, the absence of a country or culture from this list should be understood as a result of the limits of my own background.
Berlo, Janet and Ruth Phillips. Native North American Art. Oxford: Oxford University, 1998.
This is a chronologically, geographically, and culturally broad survey book about Native American art, covering the material culture of Native peoples before and after colonization, through the 20th century. There is a lot of information packed into each section, particularly if you are not already familiar with Native names and terminology.
Brown, Steven. Native Visions: Evolution in Northwest Coast Art from the Eighteenth through the Twentieth Century. Seattle: Seattle Art Museum, 1998.
Along with clear essays and images, this catalogue includes a map outlining the territories of individual NWC culture groups, in some cases providing both their current and outdated (but still common) names.
Holm, Bill. Northwest Coast Indian Art: An Analysis of Form. Seattle: University of Washington, 1965.
Holm was the first person to systematically analyze and explain in writing the vocabulary and grammar of Northwest Coast design. His Analysis of Form is still the primary guide to understanding the elements of NWC style. I include it here because the objects he studied are mostly from the 19th century.
Seattle Art Museum. The Spirit Within: Northwest Coast Art from the John H. Hauberg Collection. Seattle: Seattle Art Museum, 1995.
This is a catalogue of objects from the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition to excellent images with individual descriptions, the longer essays provide important historical, cultural, and formal (stylistic) information. Robin Wright's text on Haida argillite carvings is particularly illuminating in the context of the 19th century.
The birth of Modernism in Japan is somewhat contested. One popular date is 1868, the start of the Meiji period. Another is 1854, when Japan was forced to sign a trade agreement with the United States, thereby marking the end of Japanese seclusion. In addition to making it possible for Japanese prints and goods to travel to Europe where they had a significant impact on artistic styles, the treaty also opened Japan to Western influence, including European-style Industrialization (a process that in Japan was particularly rapid and brutal). Other historians place the beginnings of Modernism even further back in the Edo period (1603-1868), due to the rise of a merchant class and the period's thriving economy, increased urbanism, and artistic development.
Addiss, Stephen. Japanese Ghosts and Demons. New York: George Braziller, 1985.
Produced in conjunction with the Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, this is a great book for those interested in mythology and folklore. It covers a broad timeframe, but the largest group of objects are from the 19th century.
Bouquillard and Christophe Marquet. Hokusai: First Manga Master. Liz Nash, ed. New York: Abrams, 2007.
Hokusai is best known for prints, particularly his One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji (1835) series. In contrast, this book focuses on his manga (drawings). The pictures are arranged by theme (such as "Plates of Animals" or "Variations in Climate and Vegetation").
Clark, Timothy. Kuniyoshi from the Arthur R. Miller Collection. London: Royal Academy of Arts, 2009.
This large volume is the catalogue from an impressive exhibition of prints by one of the Edo period's great print artists, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861). Like the exhibition, the catalogue is arranged by themes (Warriors, Beautiful Women, Landscapes, Theater, and Humor), and each image is well reproduced. However, the text can be a bit dry.
Clark, Timothy. Demon of Painting: The Art of Kawanabe Kyōsai. London: British Museum, 1993.
Another monographic exhibition catalogue, this time for the painter and woodblock artist, Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831-89).
Conant, Ellen. Nihonga: Transcending the Past. St. Louis: Saint Louis Art Museum, 1995.
Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) was a post-isolation movement and style that self-consciously rejected overtly Western traditions in favor of "traditional" Japanese materials and techniques. This exhibition catalogue covers works produced in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Earle, Joe. Netsuke: Fantasy and Reality in Japanese Miniature Sculpture. Boston: MFA, 2001.
Netsuke are a fairly marginalized subject in academic studies of Japanese art, and are primarily within the purview of collectors. This publication is a rare scholarly introduction to the topic, dealing mostly with objects from the Edo and Meiji periods.
Figal, Gerald. Civilization and Monsters: Spirits of Modernity in Meiji Japan. Durham: Duke, 1999.
As a book about folklore in modern Japan, Civilization and Monsters provides a useful link between the content of much of the work in the catalogues featured in this section and the concept of modernity as it applies to Japan in the 19th century.

Granularity problems
Jens Christian Bjerring, Wolfgang Schwarz
Possible-worlds accounts of mental or linguistic content are often criticized for being too coarse-grained. To make room for more fine-grained distinctions among contents, several authors have recently proposed extending the space of possible worlds by 'impossible worlds'. We argue that this strategy comes with serious costs: we would effectively have to abandon most of the features that make the possible-worlds framework attractive. More generally, we argue that while there are intuitive and theoretical considerations against overly coarse-grained notions of content, the same kinds of considerations also prohibit an overly fine-grained individuation of content. An adequate notion of content, it seems, should have intermediate granularity. However, it is hard to construe a notion of content that meets these demands. Any notion of content, we suggest, must be either implausibly coarse-grained or implausibly fine-grained (or both).

Hi all, Ive done a search and found info about the download managers, but there so many and cant work out what the best one is for my needs.
*.exe Files, has Prompting but allows me to chosse a catagory from list, for what folder i want to save it in, Not browsing my computer for the right folder.
Websites support, so if download from same website, the files will be saved to the website folder no prompting.
Opera Does this sort off, But its not perfect.
I think most of the good ones will do what you're asking. I tried a few of them a while ago, the ones I liked were Reget and Internet Download Manager. But it was overkill for me, I just don't download that much off of the internet.
Yes, though I am less positive than about the above.
I don't think so, but have never needed this functionality.
Other points about Stardownloader to consider - development seems to be dead no updates in over a year, despite the promise of one last March.
Other downloaders that will probably do what you need are Neodownloader and Aaron's Web Vacuum.
I am pretty sure that FreeDownloadManager or Orbit can do what you want (I can´t check right now but I know that at least one of them has a "remember path for this type of file option check").
I havent tried the "download without a question" option, but IDM (not free) can certainly do the category -> folder bit. I suspect it might do the ask/dont ask option as well, will go and have a try.
I must say I have never been penalised on any site for using a download manager. Could just be the sites I chose to visit and the amount of downloads I do.
Except for not seeing anything onscreen you can achieve both of these (well nearly) for almost any download manager you choose by simply installing something like FileBox Extender (doesn't work on Vista). Then you can set up a list of folders and quickly choose the right folder from the usual save dialogue (they are all in a single drop down menu).
IDM is brilliant, but not free. It has the best site-grabber I've seen built in. I switched from GetRight to IDM around a year back and the boost in speed was significant. It's v.light on resources, without doubt one of the best pieces of software on my system. In freeware, there's FlashGet.
IDM sounds interesting - I'll have to take a look, nosh. Thanks!
I'm sure you'll love it. I remember testing quite a few big players in this category before settling for IDM. It'll need a bit of configuring though.
I had a quick look around the IDM options and couldn't find a way to make a "category" download automatically.
There are options to make URLs sent to clipboard download automatically, or to set up a key which will force downloading via IDM, but no way I could see in the interface to say "for this category, just start downloading"
Obviously there is both the queue option and the site grabber to get a lot of files downloaded at once, but neiter are exactly the thing you wanted.
@iphigenie: You can't set up IDM to download all filetypes belonging to a specific category automatically but you can ask it to download individual filetypes automatically. So all that needs to be done is copy-paste all of a category's extensions to the "download automatically" box.
The only catch is he would have to add or remove individual filetypes as and when he modifies a category as the two are not synched. Besides, I'm not sure the OP was asking for this exactly.
@Earthcoder: The first feature as you mentioned is offered by your browser itself.
I realise this is a bit of a cop out but the simplest workaround for the second would be to use a dialog box extender so you just have a dropdown list of category based folders and don't need to browse your computer.
The third (website based downloading) is a bit tricky as it could conflict with the first rule. You need logic on the lines of mail filtering rules that lets you decide which rule gets priority - filetype or website - it would be hard to come by, if it exists at all.
@nosh: That feature doesn't quite work that way for me - it just triggers IDM to kick in, but i still get the pop up box asking me to say "ok".
Any extensions not in that box, IDM does not kick in and Opera ends up handling the download.
Maybe it is because i use opera, not firefox or ie?
That feature doesn't quite work that way for me - it just triggers IDM to kick in, but i still get the pop up box asking me to say "ok".
The popup box can be completely avoided by unchecking the "show start download dialog" & checking the "start downloading immediately..." options.
The downside to this is, IDM will download files you haven't requested. If you have the "download completed" popup & sound notification disabled the process will be completely transparent, not really recommended.
My options are set to just the opposite of what I've suggested above - having the "start downloading immediately..." enabled saves a bit of time but smaller files (that I haven't requested) get downloaded before I have a chance to cancel them.
You're right, the integration doesn't seem to be as good on Opera... even the force download hotkey didn't work for me. The only way I could get IDM to kick in for sure was to copy the file url to the clipboard. I haven't tried this but if there is a certain filetype you always want to download with IDM you could disable it completely in Opera's download options.
Thanks for the reference - this ads "download with ..." to the menu?
If someone wants freeware then Orbit Downloader should be at the top of your list for programs to examine.
If one is willing to shell out some money then my suggestion is to look at Internet Download Accelerator from http://www.westbyte.com. For my uses it was a better fit than IDM, but I can see why someone would choose it over IDA.


The first thing I do is get a broad picture of what your needs are. The first time I meet with a client, the first hour is free.
We can hash out an overview at that point and, if it's a small job, many of the details as well.
More complex jobs, of course, take more time.
I've been doing this for a while now, so I know what questions to ask. Sometimes, we won't even need to meet – I can chat to you on the phone or email you a questionnaire. But I'm also happy to come on site and have a chat – it's up to you.
Next up I'll put something in writing about what you need and I'll give you a quote for meeting those needs.
Depending on the scope of the job, this process may be repeated at different points along the way, as larger jobs may be done in stages.
Quoting for website development is fairly straightforward. These are not the kinds of jobs that have hidden "gotchas".
With IT, though, more so than for most work, the devil is in the detail. If you really need me to, I can quote for all of a complex job without knowing all those details, but I'll have to build in a significant risk factor.
If you're happy with the quote, I'll then issue a Customer Order Acknowledgment referencing the quoted amount, and once you sign off on that, I consider the project to have officially started. On some projects I'll include a commencement component, where the part of the overall cost will need to be paid up front.
More complex jobs – such as developing a database or assessing different systems for your organisation – require business analysis. This is the process of mapping out what your business does and how it does it.
Business analysis can be a very valuable process in itself, because it gets all the information out of your head, and out of your employees' heads, and onto paper: all the stuff that people "just know" is documented. That means that if, for example, you lose key staff, you don't lose all their knowledge as well.
At the end of the process, everyone has a clear picture of what the business does, how it does it, and the constraints under which it operates. This provides great opportunities to identify better ways of doing things.
From an IT perspective, it gives a clear picture of what data needs to be captured by software, and what functions the software needs to perform.
If you're really interested in this stage, I'm very happy to explain my work in plain English. I'm also very happy to share tips and tricks to help you out and empower you to build your own IT capacity.
If I've built something new for you, I'll ask you to sign off on the work as being to your satisfaction.
Assuming everyone's happy, I'll then bill you for the work.

Okay, so I have a great idea for Mother's Day!
FACT: A teammate had to provide me an in-service during the first week of school.
We've been writing a lot this year - and my kiddos are awesome at it! I want them to write a recipe that basically states the "ingredients" that make up their mom. Then they write "directions" which are basically the things that there mom does. I will punch a little hole in the corner and tie it around some type of kitchen utensil.
What other utensils can be purchased on the CHEAP and weren't used in the past five decades for child discipline?
What do you think of this cute idea? I'm excited!!
Spatula? Is that not any better? I don't know!
Hmmm... I wonder if there are cute (cheap) aprons anywhere? Could be SO cute to let kids paint and decorate one.
Good luck! I love the idea of doing this.
Thanks Jenny! This comment literally made me laugh out loud! Hilarious. Aprons are also a great idea! A friend suggested that I check out Ikea, so I think I'll head there tomorrow. Hopefully I'll find some cute, cheap kitchen stuff. Maybe I'll buy an assortment and have the kids pick what they'd like to give their mom.
Thanks for following me! Enjoy your Saturday!
I sure will visit you, Halle! Thanks for following me!
I love your Mother's Day recipe idea! I am happy to be your newest follower! Your blog is adorable. I also started blogging in February! It is a lot of fun, isn't it? Can't wait to look more closely at your past posts!
Thanks Jennifer! It's so fun to blog, I agree. :) I'm off to follow you back!
So glad I found your blog and I hope you'll stop by mine!
Was just visiting Second in Line and saw a link to your blog. I'm following you now. Take a moment and stop by my blog...it's still a work in progress :) As for kitchen utensils, check out the dollar store. You might be able to find measuring cups or tablespoon/teaspoon sets on the cheap.
What an adorable blog name! I love it. I will surely be visiting you! Thanks for following me!


When you try to do all the things just by yourself then you are more likely to get stressed. Do not take too much work at once. If you think somebody can help you then do not hesitate and ask for help.
The way you start your day affects your rest of the day as well. Do not think about the work load and how you are going to manage it in the morning itself. Go for a morning walk or enjoy a pleasant cup of tea in the morning and follow it with a energetic breakfast. Relax your mind in the morning as much as possible.
A messed up table can increase stress and confusion. Make it a habit that you clean your work space every day before leaving the office so that you find a clean and organised desk every morning.
Conflicts can add extra stress which is not required. Try to stay away from conflicts as much as possible. Develop a healthy and friendly environment around yourself. Do not involve yourself in such situation or arguments which has nothing to do with you and your work.
Before stress overtakes your life completely, take some rest. Do not work continuously for hours without giving a break to your mind. Take small breaks at regular intervals in such a way it does not affect your work as well as your mental peace.

That Was How to cope with stress at work: Here is a complete guide, Hopefully it's useful and you like it.


Goodfellow Bros., Inc. Announces Changes to Management Team — Goodfellow Bros.
KIHEI, Hawaii – August 19, 2014 – Goodfellow Bros., Inc., (GBI) a fourth-generation, family-owned construction firm with headquarters in Hawaii and Washington, today announced strategic changes to its management team in Hawaii. As the signs of economic recovery in the Hawaiian construction market strengthen, these changes will bolster an already strong and experienced management team as they pursue the opportunities in front of them. Ben Northey returns to GBI after a nine year hiatus, as the Director of Operations for Maui County and Kauai. Northey will be filling the role previously held by Ray Skelton. After 25 years with the company, Skelton has relocated to Spokane Washington with his wife Patti to begin the next chapter in his personal and professional life.
"I am excited to return to Hawaii and Goodfellow Bros., Inc.; the company's dedication to customer service, the community and its employees provides a great platform on which to continue building relationships throughout Maui County and Kauai", said Ben Northey.
For the past nine years, Northey has held various management positions with Colaska, a division of Colas, a large international construction firm. He most recently held the title of President of the Alaska market and directed the division as it became the largest civil contractor in the state. Prior to that, Northey worked for Goodfellow Bros., Inc.in the late 1980's directing work on the Big Island and Maui and also ran the organization's Alaska division from 1997 to 2005. In his new role, Northey will report to Chad Goodfellow, the company's President.
GBI operations will continue to move forward with the same core values and vision that have the made company successful over the last 42 years in Maui County.


The city of Frankfurt, Germany, will be for a few days the focus and meeting place for all high-tech textile materials, as the new edition of Techtextil and Texprocess will be held there from May 14th to 17th. The success of these two trade fairs is guaranteed, with first-class exhibitors in a larger number than that of previous editions, while the number of professional visitors is also expected to exceed results of past editions.
Techtextil will be the place to find out about technical textile materials for all uses and purposes, in addition to textile technologies. The international trade fair, planned around "Urban life – the city of the future" will also look into the future and the way technical textiles will define and give shape to urban life. In terms of Spanish companies taking part, Michael Jänecke, Area Director of Technical Textiles & Textile Processing, Messe Frankfurt, said, "There will be some fifty companies, and it is important to point out that the area by contract is the same as in our past edition". Also, some companies will be participating for the first time".
Texprocess, on the other hand, is the most important fair trade for textiles and flexible materials. The trade fair will be about technologies available in the next few years, such as automated processes, personalization and customization, durability, and more. At Texprocess, exhibitors from some 29 countries will be showcasing the full range of available technologies for textile processing, ranging from design to logistics, recycling, cutting, manufacturing, trimming, and digital printing.

Did the Court Kill the Treason Charge?: Reassessing Cramer v. United States and its Significance
Florida State University Law Review, Vol. 36, p. 635, 2009

In 1945, the United States Supreme Court decided a case involving a treason conviction for the first time in its history: Cramer v. United States. In that case, the Court explained what it meant to give aid and comfort to the enemy and interpreted the meaning of the overt act requirement under the Constitution's Treason Clause. Since the Court's decision, most observers have argued that Cramer's exacting standards made treason too hard to prove, thereby removing it as a potential charging option for federal prosecutors. Notably, between 1954 and 2006, the United States did not indict a single American for treason - the longest such absence in American history. However, in 2006, the United States indicted Adam Gadahn on charges of treason for his participation in several al-Qaeda videotapes. In light of this landmark indictment, this article reexamines the Court's decision in Cramer and its significance. In so doing, it challenges the conventional wisdom on two fronts. First, this article explores what issues motivated the Justices in Cramer. Specifically, it posits that the Court's decision (and division) can be best explained by the Justices' attitudes on two factors that have each been overlooked in previous scholarship: (1) the degree to which Congress may circumvent the Treason Clause by proscribing conduct covered by treason under a different heading and without the same procedural safeguards and (2) the degree to which the Framers intended treason prosecutions to be exceedingly rare and difficult. Second, this article reassesses the significance of Cramer and, in particular, its contribution to the lack of treason charges after 1954. In particular, it argues that while the Court's decision made treason harder to prove, it certainly did not make treason too hard to prove. Furthermore, it asserts that Cramer's most significant contribution was that it expressly held that Congress could criminalize (and the executive could prosecute) treasonous conduct under a separate statutory heading and without the procedural safeguards required by the Constitution's Treason Clause.
