Finding Community in Painting
Students Find Community in Painting
Rebecca Livigni, Design Editor|October 18, 2018
As I walk into my former biology classroom, colorful Indian music paints the air. Students fill seats surrounded by plates full of pigmented splotches of red, blue and yellow. President of Hindu Students Community, Neej Patel, sits upfront speaking over a doc cam instructing students on their current projects. Immediately, I take to photographing students' art and their pristine concentration, until they notice my presence and giggle.
On Oct. 11, The Hindu Students Community partnered with Interfaith Alliance to host a Painting Night, bringing together SLU students from all faith communities. Anisha Patel, service chair of HSC described the event's intention as a small way to spark curiosity, a nudge towards raising awareness for other religions represented on the SLU campus. This is the first event of its kind, and the HSC executive board hoped that an activity like art—something that crosses so many cultures and religions—would reach a large and diverse audience.
Anisha describes her experience in HSC as a way to look into the Hindu religion and Indian culture, deeper than she ever had before.
I've been able to grow into my religion instead of just going through the motions and personalizing what my religion means to me."
— Anisha
She emphasizes that a community like HSC is more than just Hindu students, and that learning about other cultures and faiths is "just as cool as learning about your own." At SLU, there is a great accessibility to connect and practice any faith, whether that be Hinduism, Catholicism or Islam. Anisha cites SLU's motto as she appreciates that there is a general presence of an understanding of a greater purpose—something she believes unites all faiths.
The piece Neej instructed students with consisted of a tree supporting branches that led to various symbols of prominent religions on SLU's campus—an Aum for Hinduism, a crescent moon and star for Islam, a Cross for Christianity, David's Star for Judaism and other religious symbols. While many people participated in the direction for this piece, Neej encouraged the students' individualities in their creative expressions.
While speaking to another student, Nirali Thakkar, we began to explore the deep connections students develop in religious organizations. As a member of a Christian Life Community, I've found my own experience important during the transition to college, and Thakkar expressed similar ideas, explaining that the E-board was a welcoming environment that allowed her a place to build connections during her freshman transition.
At home, Thakkar grew up in what she described as a strong "religious bubble" and entered SLU closed-minded to the idea that everyone has their own pathway to God. Soon into her freshman year, she began to explore other ways people celebrate the same holidays and traditions, which made her more aware of diversity not only in her own religion, but in others as well.
Thakkar believes that exposing herself to other practices of her faith enhanced both sides of religious experiences.
As our conversation continued, Thakkar began describing a moment when she first encountered opposition in her own viewpoints, which later inspired her to major in psychology and study the stigma of mental illness in her religious culture. "I heard someone from my own religion basically say that mental illness isn't real…that if you have God's thoughts with you, how could you even have depression?" she said. At first, I was struck by such an uncanny experience I had faced in my own religion a few days earlier. After reading through the blog of a Christian cognitive scientist, I stumbled upon her views on psychopharmacology as treatment for mental illnesses. It struck a chord with me, invalidating my own struggles and faith. I had decided it would be an interesting topic to explore for a research paper in my theology class, just as Thakkar described before. In awe of this extremely deep connection we had made across our own religious borders, I shared this with Thakkar. She instantly agreed, stating, "I think that events like this open up the door to be more mindful of other religions. You're a Christian and I practice Hinduism, but we definitely just connected over this idea."
This conversation opened my eyes to the importance of interfaith experiences, like this paint night, in a way I never expected walking into the doors of Davis-Shaughnessy 173.
Making new friends, trading phone numbers and connecting with people I'd never meet otherwise is a testament to the importance of interfaith events on SLU's campus. As religious or non-religious people, we allow ourselves to get so wrapped up in our own ideas, but it's become clear that at the core there is always something that connects each of us from within.

The scoop on fertility tea: does it really work?
Aug 27, 2021 11 min read
Teas that claim to support fertility (sometimes called "fertiliteas") are popular in wellness circles and can be found all over the internet. But before you skim through all of those customer reviews and hit checkout on those tea sachets, do they actually work? What do we know from the research?
While there are anecdotal accounts that the ingredients in popular fertility teas affect the fertility of both people with ovaries and people with sperm, there's limited clinical evidence of their effectiveness in this respect — though many of the ingredients may have other health benefits (like antioxidants). The one ingredient with the most evidence to support its fertility-boosting claims is chasteberry (aka Vitex agnus-castus).
Evidence aside, some of the herbs found in fertility teas aren't safe during pregnancy and may interact with other medications or supplements (just because they're herbal doesn't mean they're automatically safe) — and the dosage and quality of the herbs used might not be high enough to actually have a positive effect. That's why talking to your healthcare provider about any herb use (or any kind of supplement) is so important, and why herbalists recommend consulting with a trained herbalist (along with your healthcare provider) rather than buying fertility teas online.
What are fertility teas exactly?
Some nutritionists with a special interest in fertility, holistic practitioners, and midwives are proponents of herbal fertility teas for boosting chances of conception. These herbs, when steeped in hot water, are thought to release fertility-aiding or enhancing compounds: from boosting libido (which could increase chances of conception) to "toning" the uterus to "balancing" hormone levels. Many of the ingredients in these fertility teas are also touted for their richness in essential minerals and nutrients.
Medical literature has documented the use of herbal remedies (and sometimes toxic chemicals), called "uterine tonics," to treat a wide variety of gynecological issues — with reports from as early as the 15th century. Colonial scientists and healthcare providers first "borrowed" the idea of botany for reproductive health from Indigenous American medicinal culture, where herbs like blue cohosh were taken to treat menstrual cramps, relieve pain during childbirth, and sometimes induce labor. This practice continued in the lead up to the 20th century as people with ovaries turned to midwives and medicinal plants for their reproductive health.
These herbal remedies take many more forms than just fertility teas. "There are tinctures, extracts, powders, granules, and of course, the raw herb material that one cooks oneself that can be administered as a single herb or in combination with other herbs in a formula (the preferred way to administer herbs in East Asian Medicine)," explains herbalist, clinical researcher, and acupuncturist Dr. Lee Hullender Rubin, DAOM, MS, LAc, FABORM. "In China, herbs can also be formulated for injection or infusion."
Today, some of the more popular fertility teas available include the following ingredients (though this list is by no means exhaustive):
Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus)
Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa)
Red raspberry leaf (Rubis idaeus)
Stinging nettle leaf (Urtica dioica)
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris)
Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
Lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis)
Fertility teas online versus recommendations from a trained herbalist
"Herbalists typically customize tea blends for their clients based on a number of factors, including current medications, fertility protocols, allergies, and personal preferences," explains herbalist Camille Freeman, LDN, RH. If herbs aren't purchased from reputable sources, Freeman says that some may be contaminated or adulterated. "We need to make sure that the people who produced the tea properly identified the herbs before harvest, grew or harvested them ethically, processed and stored them properly, and so forth," she adds. This is why buying the least expensive option you can find online isn't always the best idea.
Before we dive into efficacy… are there any downsides to using fertility teas?
The main safety concerns regarding the ingredients in fertility teas are the ones you should avoid while pregnant — and those that might interact with any medications or supplements you're already taking. Most of these ingredients have only mild side effects associated with them.
Why does it matter if ingredients could have adverse effects during pregnancy (sometimes while breastfeeding/chestfeeding) when you're only taking them preconception? Knowing exactly when you'll get pregnant is often a challenge. So, in the case of fertility tea ingredients, there's a risk-benefit balance of taking what could have fertility-boosting effects while you're trying to conceive and taking something that could have adverse impact after conception.
There are a few other considerations when taking pre-packed fertility teas versus fertility herbs recommended by an herbalist, according to Freeman:
Extraction in tea form: "Roots like ashwagandha, for example, need to be decocted (boiled gently for 20-30+ minutes) to extract their key constituents, and vitex is generally best taken as either a capsule or a tincture for similar reasons, although you can get some benefit from the tea."
Steeping time: "To get therapeutic benefit from most herbal infusions, you'll want to steep them for much longer than people are used to doing. We usually recommend steeping for at least 20-30 minutes before straining."
Dose: "The therapeutic range for most [individual] herbs is 2-4 grams/day. Your standard tea bag usually has just over a gram of tea (this varies widely, depending on how fluffy the plants are). Taking a small dose of some of these herbs won't really do much, whereas taking doses in the therapeutic range can make a difference." Dr. Hullender Rubin adds that recommended herb dosage could be as high as 15 grams per day, on average, depending on the herbal formula.
Storage: "If herbs aren't stored properly, they can lose their potency and even (rarely) grow bacteria. Exposure to light/heat is particularly damaging to our teas, which typically stay fresh between 3-12 months from the time they're dried."
As with all over-the-counter fertility supplements, which aren't as tightly regulated by the FDA, it's crucial to talk to your healthcare provider about what's right for you before starting anything new.
Can fertility teas actually help you get pregnant? Here's what the science says
Before we get into the findings we have around fertility teas, there are a few important limitations to the research:
Fertility teas as proprietary tea blends don't have much research behind them — but there's a wider body of literature behind the individual ingredients present in some of them (and why those ingredients might be helpful).
Research in this area is also complicated by the exact words used. "The term fertility teas encompass a broad swath of herbs that originate from many cultures (Chinese, Ayurvedic, Native/Indigenous, etc.) and can be administered in a variety of ways," including blended herbal teas sold online or in stores that are often low in dose and quality, explains Dr. Hullender Rubin.
Dr. Rubin adds that herbal medicine in general is uniquely difficult to study because of rapid changes in its practice, no clear proof in what method of administration has the highest efficacy, the need for standardization in herb potency and testing, and the overall complexities in mapping symptom patterns to specific herbal treatments.
Despite all of these limitations, research in this area is growing. Below, we've broken down the key ingredients included in the most popular fertility teas and examined the research we do have around their potential impact on fertility. We'll start with the ingredients that have the most evidence for their fertility-boosting claims (which are also the ones that have been studied the most), and end with the ones that have the least.
Though clinicians don't recommend it yet for fertility, chasteberry (aka Vitex) has had promising results
Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus), from the chaste tree, is known for its role in improving aspects of reproductive wellness (including premenstrual stress syndrome), but most of the research in this area looked at chasteberry as an ingredient in a supplement rather than a fertility tea specifically:
One 2014 review of 33 studies found that herbal extracts of chasteberry are effective in improving the length of the luteal phase, suggesting increased progesterone production and menstrual cycle regularity — both of which are helpful for fertility in people with irregular cycles (though it might make it harder for the body to absorb iron if it's taken with meals).
Two small-scale studies conducted by the same research team (here and here) saw improved pregnancy rates for people taking a supplement that included chasteberry, among other ingredients.
All of this said, there still isn't enough evidence for a formal clinical recommendation of chasteberry as a fertility enhancer. There's also a possible risk for chasteberry if used while undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF): One case report showed it could lead to ovarian hyperstimulation. Taking chasteberry may also be unsafe for pregnant people and those with hormone-sensitive conditions.
"Given that there is not a lot of evidence and it does seem to have an effect on hormone-sensitive conditions, and without a clear understanding of what roles it plays in hormone regulation," explains OB-GYN and Modern Fertility medical advisor Dr. Eva Luo, MD, MBA, "I'm very hesitant to recommend it for anything."
(Interesting side note: Chasteberry allegedly got its name because Monks in the Middle Ages used it to decrease sexual desire. That's what may have put the "chaste" in chasteberry.)
Black cohosh could also have a positive effect on fertility
Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa), which has historically been used to ease menopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, as well as inducing labor, and may have some effect on fertility.
One 2021 systematic review found that black cohosh improved hormone regulation and endometrial (aka uterine lining) thickness when compared to clomiphene citrate in patients managing infertility with PCOS, with three randomized controlled trials (the "gold standard" in research) finding higher pregnancy rates for people using black cohosh in addition to clomiphene citrate. The researchers noted, though, that there were concerns of bias in several of the included studies. These same effects were not demonstrated by high-quality clinical evidence for people with PCOS.
Red raspberry leaf tea and fertility
Red raspberry leaf (Rubis idaeus), which is packed with nutrients (like iron) and sometimes called "the women's herb" by herbalists, has been used to treat gynecological issues since as early as the sixth century in Europe. There's anecdotal evidence of its possible role in fertility, but there's no well-established clinical evidence proving that.
One 2021 systematic review focusing on red raspberry leaf and pregnancy identified a few studies (some that are pretty old and only used animals) that spoke to red raspberry leaf's possible impact on the uterine muscle, but the evidence demonstrating an effect on human, nonpregnant uterine tissue was lacking. The researchers also found no clear benefits for pregnant people — in fact, red raspberry leaf may not be recommended at all during pregnancy.
Nettle leaf might be helpful for managing high testosterone levels
Stinging nettle leaf (Urtica dioica), which is also rich with nutrients, is used by some traditional women's health practitioners to improve fertility, though there's little demonstrated clinical evidence to support this:
While there are claims that taking nettle leaf may decrease testosterone levels (which could help improve fertility for people with polycystic ovary syndrome), to our knowledge, there's no research to back this up.
A small study from 2014 investigated the above claim and found that nettle supplementation (not explicitly with nettle leaf, which is what's often found in teas) was no more effective than typical treatment for high androgen ("male" sex hormones like testosterone) levels. The researchers said the herb could have the potential to be helpful here, but more research is needed.
Whether or not you choose to take nettle leaf tea, an important note: It should not be taken while you're pregnant (even though you might see claims to the contrary).
The antioxidants in green tea could be beneficial for fertility
Since antioxidants can be good for fertility, green tea (made from the plant Camellia sinensis), which notably isn't caffeine-free, could play a role in improving outcomes for people with ovaries and people with sperm:
According to one 2018 review, green tea may be helpful for fertility by reducing oxidative stress. But the same polyphenols and other antioxidants could actually be harmful at higher doses.
But, per one 2017 review, green tea may also impact vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a substance in your blood that promotes the growth of new blood vessels. Dr. Hullender Rubin explains that decreasing VEGF is a good thing when limiting blood flow to tumors, but not for the maturation of ovarian follicles (the fluid-filled sacs that develop and release eggs).
One paper from 2008 also identified the potential risk of green tea's effects on folate absorption. For this reason, Dr. Hullender Rubin doesn't recommend it (or matcha).
We don't know the ideal dosage for fertility benefits from the antioxidant properties of green tea.
Ashwagandha could prove beneficial for fertility — but it could also have the opposite effect
A 2018 systematic review that looked at ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) — a key herb in the practice of Ayurveda — and fertility found some pretty conflicting evidence: While the herb may improve semen quality for people with sperm and luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels for people with ovaries, animal studies show possible spermicidal effects (which could contribute to infertility). The researchers wrote that further studies should examine how the herb is extracted and the ideal dosage for increased fertility.
Ashwagandha is likely unsafe during pregnancy.
Tribulus might be good for the fertility of mice… but we're not sure about humans
The findings around the herb tribulus (Tribulus terrestris), an ingredient found in fertility teas, show some promise in animal studies — but we don't know for sure how effective it might be for humans:
Animal studies have demonstrated increased sperm motility for mice.
Evidence in human subjects has also noted a marked enhancement, but whether it's as significant as in mice remains unclear.
There's no evidence that peppermint leaf can improve chances of conception, but spearmint might be beneficial for people with PCOS
To our knowledge, there's no evidence to support the claim that peppermint (Mentha piperita) increases sex drive, and in turn increases chances of conception. However, spearmint has been found to have properties that can lower androgens in women with PCOS based on monitored hormone levels and subjective assessments of hair growth — though the small study that came to this conclusion warned that the clinical application of these findings isn't clear (given no change in objective evaluations of hair growth).
While lady's mantle tea is sometimes recommended for fertility, there are no published studies evaluating the connection
The herb lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis) has been used for a long time in traditional European medicine and Ayurveda. Though there are claims that it can be helpful for fertility (as well as general menstrual disorders), we weren't able to find any published studies showing a link between the herb and fertility — or even overall menstrual health.
Lady's mantle may not be recommended for use while pregnant.
The bottom line: Whether you take fertility teas or not is up to you and your healthcare provider
We've said it before and we'll say it again: What you choose to do with your body is between you and your healthcare provider. The clinical evidence around fertility teas is pretty limited, but there's a possibility that some ingredients may provide benefits — and few ingredients (if taken prior to pregnancy) pose anything more than mild side effects. That said, like we mentioned earlier, some herbs may interact with other medications or supplements you're taking. But if you and your healthcare provider don't see any harm in you trying out a fertility tea, the decision to go for it is 100% yours to make. If you're really interested in the benefits of certain herbs for fertility, it's worth it to also connect with a trained herbalist alongside your provider.
"You should always be open with your healthcare team on what you are taking," says Dr. Luo. "How to incorporate any of these alternative treatments requires some careful consideration so that it doesn't interfere with your fertility goals — and certainly not with current medical plans already in place." And, as the herbal medicine experts we spoke with explain, using herbs from reputable sources and consulting with a trained herbalist are also recommended.
If methods of increasing your chances of conception that are backed by lots of clear-cut research are what you're looking for, tracking ovulation (which you can do with our Ovulation Test!) and timing sex or insemination around your most fertile days are wonderful places to start. If you're just here to learn more fertility and reproductive health (something we're in full support of), the Modern Fertility blog is your go-to source for neutral, science-backed education — and our products, from our Fertility Hormone Test to our Ovulation Test to our cycle-tracking app, have you covered for personalized fertility info.

Is the action a distraction?
If this is all viewers see, do your advertising dollars stack up? Gaze data showing what elements of the starting scene viewers actually looked at.
Brands can pay millions to secure a spot amongst the action at major sports competitions. They're paying to piggyback off the popularity of players, teams and events which, in some cases, have a cult following – they're paying for what you might assume is a guaranteed audience. But is it guaranteed? Just because a brand is before your eyes, do you see it?
In the leadup to the Winter Olympics, snow sports have been front and center on television sets, computers and smart screens. So Tobii Pro Insight thought the time was right to see how effective the banners, flags and fixtures are at attracting attention and leaving a lasting impression.
Twenty people were asked to watch a Eurosport clip of one of Ted Ligety's Giant Slalom runs, which helped deliver him a World Cup Podium place for the first time in over two years.
A screen based eye tracker was used to register how many participants saw various advertisements, how many times they saw them, and for how long they looked. This was then followed with a questionnaire to determine the level of brand recall.
The starting gate appeared on screen for close to 10 seconds, yet people were so heavily focused on Ligety, they barely looked at the plethora of big name brands surrounding him. Despite their prominent placing the giant Polarweiss ads were seen by just 20% of participants, and of those, none remembered them afterwards. The smaller Longines logos were seen by just 10% of participants, while the multiple Audi logos faired a little better and were seen by 30% of viewers. Based on this it's clear people were so absorbed in their anticipation for the event, they weren't receptive to the advertising.
As Ligety powers down the slope multiple big-name brands flash past. It appears as though they've been positioned to take advantage of a slowing of speed as competitors round corners, but again, most viewers were so absorbed by the action, they didn't notice the ads. There were mixed results for Swiss beverage brand CAFFÈ LATTE which had erected two giant coffee cups resembling their products alongside the course. They were visible on screen for about 15 seconds, and as Ligety whizzed past 50% of viewers noticed them. However, the average time each person spent focused on the ad was just one fifth of a second; a behavior which could explain the fact no one was able to recite the brand name afterwards.
Gaze data showing snapshot of the event and viewers' attention.
So what WAS effective you might ask? Well, the research indicated repetitive smaller advertisements performed well. The Oakley banners attached to the course gate poles appeared many times throughout the clip and were viewed a total of 86 times.
So what's the takeaway? There's no doubt ads and branding at sporting events work, and of course they will be received by different people in different environments and platforms with varying degrees of success, but this study highlights the benefits of eye tracking as a research method when working out how to allocate your valuable advertising spend.
An eye tracking study can reveal areas of high visibility, and other useful information you can use to your advantage. For example, one might have assumed the exceptionally large CAFFÈ LATTE cups might, by default, have attracted more significant attention simply because they're easier to spot, but in actual fact they didn't – bigger isn't always better. The same could be said for the starting gate, where the camera is focused on that one area and the race is yet to begin, but again, while people were looking at a screen containing the ads, they did not actually focus on them to the degree you might expect.
Using eye tracking to measure the effectiveness of signage and advertising is an established method which has been used to assess the effectiveness of material in various environments for many years. Global media company Clear Channel used Tobii Pro Insight to examine how well their digital advertisements in the Swedish subway system worked. This method used eye tracking glasses, rather than a screen based eye tracker, to measure how much of the ad content commuters absorbed. Similar studies have been performed for Facebook and Google, examining how viewers split their attention across various devices while consuming media.
Regardless of your interest area, eye tracking is a valuable tool which gives you unique insight into how people interact with your ads or content.


This year is slowly coming to a close, as we embrace the New Year with arms wide open, we'd like to wish you all an Xmas holiday filled with magic, wonder and cheer. It was a fantastic time reflecting the brilliance of your brands. In 2019, we will continue our work to craft extraordinary experiences that push boundaries and exceed your expectations. Merry Xmas!

Samsung, LG, Mitsubishi and more – CES round-up 2012
CES 2012 featured products from Toshiba, Technical Audio Devices, Belkin and other leading electronics manufacturers; here's a breakdown of what the show had to offer.
James McGrath ⋅ Jan 17, 2012
With over 1.8 million sqft of space filled by exhibitors at Consumer Electric Show this year, it was the largest in the show's 44-year history. Here are 10 of our highlights that came out of the Las Vegas exhibition.
The OLED 55in EM9600 was presented as the newest addition to LG's range of TV's, featuring smart TV with streaming and social media, the new Magic Motion remote with four models including one with a built-in mic, and passive 3D technology.
Samsung's 55in Super OLED TV picked up numerous awards for its appearance at CES, including Stuff Magazine's CES Hot Stuff award and Popular Science's Best of CED 2012:products of the future, and delivered super OLED technology in quality and a sleek design.
Haier showcased its latest 'cloud living' product range, which included a 3D TV that doesn't require the use of 3D-glasses and that uses mind wave technology – the Virtually Edgless Cloud TV. The TV also interacts with other devices such as mobile phones, computers and PDAs, and by using cloud technology the TV can act as remote control for anything from washing machines to PCs.
With much focus on Ultrabook's at the event, several manufacturers had them on display – including Acer, Asus, HP, LG, Toshiba and Samsung. Levovo's Yoga Ultrabook combines the stylistic features of both a tablet and notebook with its 360° dual hinge flip and fold design. Running on Windows 8, the Yoga Ultrabook weighs a mere 3.1 pounds and features a high-definition 13.3in display. Belkin and Kwikset partnered up at CES 2012 to bring remote locking to smartphones. The new device will use Belkin's Wemo system and Kwikset's Home Connect technology to operate and control doorlocks remotely from smartphones using a home Wifi network.
A prototype for the next-generation of video content navigation system came as the combined efforts of Omek and Jinni Media technologies at CES 2012. Viewers were able to have their taste in films and television and their moods analysed, resulting in an automated choice of movie and television content through the unique semantic search engine and initiative gesture control
Mitsubishi Electric picked up the NATAS 63rd Annual Technology and Engineers Emmy Award for its Diamond Visions Systems at the CES 2012 show. The company's Diamond Vision enables a superior picture for large screens, and has featured in installations at the Yankee Stadium and New York's Times Square.
CES 2012 saw the launch of two new products by Technical Audio Devices Laboratories – the TAD-E1 loudspeaker and the TAD-C600 preamplifier. The TAD-E1 has a range of features including Coherent sound Transducer, Beryllium Tweeter and Magnesium Midrange. While the TAD-C600 offers fully balanced circuitry and dual mono construction, vibration asrobtion technology and low-noise technology.
Tablets were few and far between at CES 2012, but one tablet that did feature in the event was Toshiba's new Excite E10 – claiming to be the world's thinnest tablet at 0.3 inches thick. Not only is the tablet thin, it's also extremely light weighing just 1.2 pounds.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) last week said it would standardised Bluetooth wireless connection for 3D glasses, and there was much interest in the use of Bluetooth in the living room, as the new standard will give 3D glasses users more freedom of movement, longer battery life and increased interoperability.

Queens Library at Langston Hughes to Be Recognized as Literary Landmark: Join Us!
Books | January 28, 2013
Queens Library's Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center will be nationally recognized on Saturday, February 9, 2013, as a Literary Landmark by United for Libraries. It is the first public institution named for the famed poet/author of the Harlem Renaissance. A plaque will be placed in the library at 100-01 Northern Boulevard during the 28th Annual Langston Hughes Celebration. The community is invited. Admission is free.
In her letter to Queens Library's C.E.O Thomas W. Galante, United for Libraries' Executive Director Sally G. Reed said, "I am most pleased that you've applied for this designation for a man who had such significant impact on African-American literature and American literature generally." Hughes wrote more than 860 poems in his lifetime, and was heralded as an author of short stories, plays, essays, anthologies and as a journalist from the 1920s until his death in 1967.
Although Hughes lived in Harlem, New York, the library was named in his honor in 1969 when it opened for public service. Langston Hughes Community Library is home of the Black Heritage Reference Center of Queens County, housing New York State's largest public circulating collection of print and non-print material on the Black Experience. This collection is now estimated at over 45,000 titles, including approximately 1,000 volumes of Theses and Dissertations on Black Literature.
The plaque presentation will be part of the 28th Annual Langston Hughes Celebration. It will be made by by Rocco Staino, United for Libraries board member emeritus and director of the Empire State Center for the Book.
The day's events, held in honor of Langston Hughes's birthday, on February 1, 1902, will include the following free activities:
11:00 a.m. -- A screening of the biographical film, Hughes Dream Harlem by Darralyn Hudson
Noon -- A plaque presentation by Rocco Staino and a lecture by author Jamal Joseph with a special musical rendition of Hughes' poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" by the IMPACT Performing Ensemble
1:00 p.m. -- "The Jacob Lawrence Migration Series" by MoMA staff member Marcia Garcia
2:30 p.m. -- Queens Borough President Helen M. Marshall will present six scholarships for African American Heritage Month
3:30 p.m. -- A lecture on Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance by historian Rashidah Ismaili Abu Bakr
4:30 p.m. -- A musical performance, "Music from the Mind of the Trumpet" by Eddie Allen and Friends
The library was founded by residents of the Corona-East Elmhurst community. They formed the Library Action Committee of Corona-East Elmhurst, Inc. and operated the library's daily operations from 1969 through 1987 as a "federally funded special project of Queens Library." In 1987, Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center gained full status and the responsibility of the library shifted to Queens Library. The Library Action Committee still has responsibility for funding and operating the after school Homework Assistance Program and the Cultural Arts Program.

In continuing my Mediterranean fusion expedition, I incorporated lupini beans into an Indian masala. These beans are beautiful, large legumes that look like they would bring a firm texture to any recipe.
Lupini beans have been popular snacks around the Mediterranean for two thousand years. They are most commonly eaten as a snack or condiment where they are soaked in brine and eaten with olives and pickles. Lupini beans are extremely bitter and toxic if cooked for an hour or so and eaten right away. To remove the toxin and bitter flavor, the beans must be soaked in water for 5 to 14 days, changing the water 3 or 4 times every day. After a week of soaking, start testing them daily to see if the bitterness had disappeared. It took 10 days for the bitterness to leave my beans.
Once the bitterness is gone, lupini beans are very healthy to eat. They are unusually high in protein and fiber while low in carbohydrates. The texture of these beans is firm and meaty, and they retain their shape after cooking.
Since lupini beans are most often canned or pickled, I thought about roasting them in a spice mixture to eat as a snack, just like I do with chickpeas. After one trial experiment, I knew this was a bad idea. Lupini beans do not crisp up like chickpeas. I had to look for another approach – this time a more traditional Indian one.
My Lupini Masala combines favorite ingredients and spices into one healthy dish. After the lupine beans are cooked, I remove the skin. This is a fairly easy task since the beans are so large. Holding the bean in one hand, find the round hole on one side. Very close to it is a tiny slit. Using your fingernail pierce the skin between the to openings then simply pinch the opposite side of the bean to pop the bean out from the skin.
Lupini Bean Masala combines Indian spices with lupini beans for a healthy vegetarian dish that is finished with flavors of Goa.
The beans are cooked in a special paste made from caramelized onion, ginger, garlic, chiles and tomatoes. The tomatoes break down as they cook to create a rich sauce for the beans. I let everything simmer until the sauce becomes thick and the flavors are absorbed into the ingredients.
After removing the Lupini Masala from the stove I season it with a bit of vinegar and sugar, two trademarks of Goan cuisine, to bring the flavors together. Lupini Masala can be served as a side dish or as a main dish for a vegetarian meal along with fresh naans or chapatis.
What are the measurements & how do you make the paste please? My beans have been soaking for 5 or 6 days now so I'm getting close.
Thank you. Sounds delicious & I want to try it!
I soaked my beans for 7 to 10 days or until they are no longer bitter when you bite into one. I did not make a paste of the beans. I made a masala with spices, vegetables, tomato paste and water then added the beans. I hope this helps. Please let me know how it turns out.

Bunbury loses a sporting star
Tue, 6 February 2018 8:18AM
BUNBURY lost a prominent sporting figure on Monday with the death of Denning Boxing Gym coach Peter Stokes.
Stokes had been battling terminal cancer for more than a year and lost the fight at about 3am on February 5.
The 45-year-old is best known for his role as head boxing coach to WBO Asia Pacific Featherweight Champion Nathaniel May and a range of other fighters, including "Danger" Daniel McGlashan and Alex "Sweethandz" Hanan.

VAXXED II, The People's Truth, Coming In 2019
decim
By Catherine J. Frompovich
Remember all the hoopla about the documentary VAXXED, From Cover-up to Catastrophe?
That factual, videographic, movie portrayal of the U.S. CDC epidemiologist-turned-whistleblower, William Thompson, PhD, divulging in his own recorded telephone conversations with the father of an autistic son, Brian Hooker, PhD, literally turned the tide regarding the once-held secrecy of how the CDC manipulates, controls, eliminates and fraudulently produces vaccine study research and published papers, especially regarding vaccines as not being implicated in the cause of Autism.
The brouhaha that swirled around VAXXED being shown at film festivals and then strategically being banned from playing on community big-screen theaters, only made the film, as they say, "grow legs."
It took off like gangbusters with crowds lined up around movie theaters incredibly anxious to see it, some even bringing their pediatricians with them, from what I've heard.
Numerous allopathic medical doctors, who promoted the false paradigm of vaccine safety and efficacy, but sat through the movie screening, never were the same after leaving the theater! They, literally, had to change their thinking and even their medical practices because they no longer could believe the toxic pseudoscience being force-fed to them by the U.S. HHS/CDC/FDA, Big Pharma and its reps!
That overwhelming reception encouraged Polly Tommey to produce an on-the-road bus trip, which documented first-hand horror stories of vaccine-injured children, even deaths. The stories parents told were heart wrenching, to say the least.
The VAXXED bus became an icon of sorts since its exterior was covered with stories, names and remembrances of those who had become Big Pharma vaccine victims at the behest of mandatory vaccinations.
As a result of those moving stories—apparently thousands upon thousands—a new project has come into being for release in 2019, produced by Tommey Burrowes Productions; it's called VAXXED II, The People's Truth.
Below is some information about its production, promo items and the official trailer, which should help you understand how serious vaccine fraud and harms really are.

Woman in mid-20s with no underlying medical conditions dies from flu, had received vaccine
'EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) - An El Paso woman in her mid-20s is the second person to have died from the flu this season, despite having received the influenza vaccine.
According to local health officials, the woman had no known underlying medical conditions.

The dirty secret about vaccines that they don't want anyone to talk about is that your body creates a separate immune response to each and every ingredient in the vaccine. These can have all manner of unintended consequences, some that might not show up for years, such as peanut allergies after getting a vaccine that contains peanut oil. This happens because it is wholly physiologically unnatural for us to take things in directly into our blood stream. Not even viruses usually enter that way, and when it happens it's like our immune system goes on full scale shock and awe, the end result being massive areas of inflammation all over our body. Inflammation is the root of almost every chronic disease.
"Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it ... It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same." -- Thomas Paine

Hospital disinfectant chemical glutaraldehyde deliberately added to vaccines, admits CDC … Chemical dangers abound
Tuesday, January 22, 2019 by: Earl Garcia
(Natural News) The list of vaccine excipients released by the CDC in January 2017 calls for sweeping scrutiny, as it includes questionable cellular components, bacterial strains and toxic chemicals that may do great harm. Eight of these vaccine excipients contain glutaraldehyde – a toxic compound notorious in the healthcare industry.
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), glutaraldehyde is a pungent chemical that is commonly used as a tanning agent, a biocide in metalworking and a preservative in cosmetics. It is also used as a hardening agent in x-rays, and is a staple in embalming solutions. Furthermore, the hazardous chemical is used as an antimicrobial in water treatment systems, and remains a widely utilized tissue fixative in histology and pathology laboratories.
In the medical field, glutaraldehyde is primarily used as a cold sterilant. Healthcare practitioners use this chemical to disinfect equipment that cannot accommodate heat sterilization, such as surgical and dialysis instruments, endoscopes, bronchoscopes and various other apparatus.
Both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Toxicology Data Network (TDN) recognize glutaraldehyde as a toxic chemical, with the latter revealing that the compound is a registered pesticide in the U.S. The chemical is so toxic that OSHA even recommends using other disinfecting methods when available.
Data from the OSHA shows that the short term effects of glutaraldehyde exposure include eye irritation and skin corrosion at high concentrations. Short term exposure to glutaraldehyde fumes may also result in nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation, headaches and nausea, nosebleeds and drowsiness.
On the other hand, long term exposure to glutaraldehyde may lead to hypersensitivity. According to OSHA, long term exposure to the chemical may trigger sudden asthma attacks even at very small amounts. The health and safety watchdog has identified glutaraldehyde as as potential cause for occupational asthma. Prolonged glutaraldehyde exposure may also lead to serious skin allergies and chronic eczema.
Skin irritations, including staining, hives and allergic dermatitis, were also among health concerns tied to glutaraldehyde exposure, according to data from the NIOSH.
Studies, case reports link glutaraldehyde to various health risks
A series of studies and peer reviews in the Toxicology Data Network have associated glutaraldehyde exposure to an array of adverse health conditions. A study published in Occupational Medicine revealed that patients with glutaraldehyde-induced asthma showed a significantly higher proportion of eosinophils, basophils and lymphocytes compared with atopic asthmatics and their healthier peers.
Another study revealed that healthcare personnel who had constant exposure to glutaraldehyde were eight times as likely to be allergic to the chemical than those who had not been exposed to it. (Related: CDC document bombshell reveals list of all vaccine excipients, including "African Green Monkey Kidney Cells" and fibroblast cells from aborted human fetuses … see the complete list.)
A high number of case reports compiled by the TDN has associated glutaraldehyde exposure to various adverse conditions, including chemical colitis, acute rectocolitis and dermatitis. Eczema, keratopathy and swelling were also noted in several case studies in the database.
The apparent threat at hand
Eight vaccine excipients included in the CDC list contain this hazardous chemical, most of which were used against diphteria, tetanus and pertussis. The most alarming common variable that these excipients have, patient-wise, is that they are intentionally injected into children younger than 7.
DTaP vaccines themselves are laden with side effects ranging from swelling and fever, to more serious conditions such as severe allergic reactions, faster heart rate and constrained breathing. Considering the notoriety of glutaraldehyde in a number of research and case studies, its presence in these vaccine excipients raises further concerns about the already-disputed safety of vaccinations, especially among infants and children.

and yes, toxicity IS a function of dose, but how on earth they could have come to the conclusion that this stuff is safe for general use just after one test on some meningitis sufferers who subsequently all died is beyond me.

vaccine courts have paid out billions in different countries to vaccine damaged children who have developed autism after being vaccinated so why does the mainstream media still uphold the myth that there is no link between autism and vaccines?
wifi is harmful to health and mobile phones can be too
glyphosate in roundup is a genotoxin and yet our politicians still allow it to be sprayed on our crops and streets
5G uses microwave frequencies that are used by the military as weapons
I hear about new toxic substances in our food and every day products every week. Clearly the people behind the big corporations are going out of their way to create a toxic environment for humanity
This is unopposed by either the politicians or the mainstream media and people will continue to be poisoned for as long as they believe the politicians and the mainstream media and for as long as they blindly consume big corporate products
Noones waking up to this, and if there are then they are very few and far between. I know and have known people over the years who are aware of the autism condition and they'll just laugh off the suggestion that there's any conspiracy linking vaccines to autism. They simply don't want to hear things that you've read or heard about on the internet. People just have a very narrow minded view of things thinking that because they haven't heard about in their autistic community, on the news, from their local health authority, etc, then they assume it to be nonsense.
On the issue of wifi, no evidence that shows there's any concerns for health, but then there wouldn't be as I don't think the health effects would be obvious straight away, I think it's an accumulative thing that only manifests over time, probably when it's too late for anyone to notice what's caused it. That's how they'll get away with it.

most people aren't interested in what is true
most people want a story that makes them feel good about themselves
the government told them a story about vaccines where the vaccines cure the world of terrible illnesses. it was a nice story and people liked the sound of it
we are trying to tell people another story. We are trying to tell people that the government don't care about them and that the vaccines are toxic. Its a horrible story and people don't want to buy into it
you can give people all the information in the world and you can appeal to their reason as much as you like but its the story they have to buy into
the dark magicians are very good at fooling people with stories. They'll hand you an apple and call it a gift making you feel special to receive it only to find its poisoned once you bite into it
But you try and tell people the truth that the apple is poisoned and they'll hate you for raining on their parade. That's why most people go along to get along so that they don't have to take all the abuse. you have to be very determined to fly in the face of it. A parent who has seen the vaccines make their child autistic can develop that sort of determination and that's what we are seeing in the vaxxed films: people who don't buy the story anymore

Seattle port could play key role in race to rule the Arctic
To aid in the rush for resources and shipping lanes, the U.S. has commissioned a new ice breaker. It's likely to call Puget Sound home.
Gregory Scruggs

In the 1890s, Seattle was the gateway to the Klondike Gold Rush. As countries eye the warming Arctic in a 21st century rush to establish maritime trade routes and exploit natural resources, Puget Sound is once again poised to serve a vital support role.
That, at least, is the vision that U.S. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, put forth as she proudly announced the commission of a new heavy icebreaker, the first commissioned in 40 years. The ship will complement the U.S. Coast Guard's existing polar vessels, both of which are based at the Port of Seattle.
The future polar security cutter will be built in Mississippi at a cost of $746 million and is expected to set sail in 2024.
"We are an Arctic nation and Washington state, with our rich maritime industry and our proximate position to the Arctic Circle, is a strategic asset in our nation's efforts to promote our interests in the north," Murray said late last month at the sixth annual Arctic Encounter Symposium at Bell Harbor International Conference Center on the Seattle waterfront.
Murray, a Democrat, leveraged her seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee and a strong working relationship with Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who also attended the symposium, to secure the funding. The new vessel will shore up the medium icebreaker Healy and especially the heavy icebreaker Polar Star, which is falling apart. That funding was nearly scrapped in January during Congress' spat with President Donald Trump over a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
"One aging heavy icebreaker is not enough," Murray said. "Decades of studies have warned that more heavy icebreakers are needed."
This budget cycle is not the first time the Pacific Northwest's congressional delegation has come to the icebreakers' rescue. Murray helped secure funding in 2009 to reactivate the Polar Star's sister ship, Polar Sea, which had been taken off duty after major engine failure, and Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, and Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, provided a legislative lift to fund sorely needed repairs in 2014.
The icebreaker announcement in Seattle came amidst two momentous months for Arctic power plays. In early April, Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled a dramatic expansion of his country's Arctic fleet. The country, one-third of which lies above the Arctic Circle, is home to four nuclear-powered icebreakers, the only such vessels in the world, with three more under construction. In 15 years, the country expects to have 13 heavy icebreakers.
Later in the month, the U.S. Coast Guard released this year's version of the Arctic Strategic Outlook, highlighting Russia's growing Arctic presence, China's newly announced ambitions to establish a Polar Silk Road and Canada's long-term ambition to retain its Arctic sovereignty.
Earlier this month, the U.S. nixed the final communiqué of the Arctic Council, an eight-nation forum, over language that attributed climate change to a warming Arctic as part of a two-year plan to balance environmental concerns with mining interests. The U.S. decision may signal cracks in the relatively cooperative multinational body, according to analysts.
Either way, for over a year, Adm. Karl L. Schultz, commandant of the Coast Guard, has been publicly calling for the U.S. to adopt a "6-3-1" approach: build six new icebreakers, three of them heavy, and one right now.
Scott Montgomery, a lecturer at the University of Washington's Jackson School of International Affairs (which offers an Arctic Studies program), studies the intersection of energy, security, and geopolitics.
"I would bet the three heavy icebreakers will be built because the U.S. is so far behind the curve," he told Crosscut. "That would put the U.S. on the map and Congress does see that as important."
Neither Murray's office nor a Coast Guard spokesman would confirm whether Seattle will be the home port for the new polar security cutter, or any of the up to five additional vessels that Schultz hopes for. But Montgomery thinks it is a safe bet we will see more icebreakers coming in and out of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
"Puget Sound and Seattle are probably the best options," he said. "We're the furthest north major port that's closest to the Arctic."
Murray told Crosscut in a written statement: "Washington state's active military communities and ship maintenance industries make it an ideal home for the nation's heavy icebreaker fleet."
If a beefed up icebreaker fleet were to make its home in Elliott Bay or across the sound at Naval Base Kitsap, the arrival of more vessels ready to charge through the polar ice of the Arctic and Antarctica would likely increase Puget Sound's geopolitical importance, Montgomery said.
In the immediate term, Montgomery sees a need for the U.S. to police the high seas against illicit overfishing, especially by Chinese fishing boats, and the new polar security cutter, which can be equipped with deck-mounted weapons, may play beat cop.
"If there is consistent illegal fishing, it will take on a constabulary function," he said.
For now, the far north remains peaceful, with the eight-nation Arctic Council a model of international cooperation. But that could change, too, Montgomery warned, putting Puget Sound's port facilities front and center in a future race to control Arctic shipping lanes.
"There are geopolitical dimensions to the Arctic and I think they are going to increase," Montgomery said. "Peace depends on cooperation to continue and there is no guarantee that it will on the Arctic Council, given increasing tension between Moscow and Washington."

Amazing Stories este o revistă americană de literatură științifico-fantastică care a apărut în perioada aprilie 1926 - martie 2006. Hugo Gernsback a fost cel care a inițiat științifico-fantastic-ul modern prin această revistă a sa dedicată genului. Înainte de apariția acestei reviste, povestirile SF apăreau de obicei în alte reviste, dar Amazing a ajutat la definirea și lansarea unui nou gen al ficțiunii pulp.

În septembrie 2011, marca comercială Amazing Stories a fost achiziționată de Steve Davidson. Au apărut două numere online, în iulie și august 2012, urmate de un alt număr în 2014. Davidson a relansat publicația tipărită a Amazing Stories odată cu numărul din toamna anului 2018, cu Ira Nayman ca editor.

Guide Music
Motion City Soundtrack member compares their latest album Go to a "choose-your-own-adventure book"
by Kaye Estoista-Koo
"I think one thing we try to do is not worry about what anyone's going to think and just make music that has that special thing for you because that does it. And even if people don't like it, screw it," says Joshua Cain, lead guitar and backing vocals of Motion City Soundtrack on one of the band's many web outlets. Motion City Soundtrack has stuck to that kind of thinking, producing five studio albums in 14 years and a steady stream of followers.
Last March 9, they performed at the Skydome in SM North, their last Asian city stop before heading back to Illinois for their next concert. Joshua Cain is joined by his Motion City Soundtrack bandmates Justin Pierre (lead vocals and guitar), Jesse Johnson (keyboardist), Matthew Taylor (bassist), and Tony Thaxton (drummer).
Redstone Productions and CNCA Media Concepts brought the five guys to Manila, CNCA being the same producers that produced Jay Sean Live in Manila, Gin Blossoms Live in Cebu, Adam Lambert Live in Manila and Creed Live in Manila.
"That sounds right," remarks Joshua when reminded of what he said several months ago.
They have no problem having a niche market so to speak because "the keyword there is TRY not to worry about what people think because we do worry sometimes even if that is the thing you tell yourself not to do. I can't make people like us or change who I am or what we are doing," explains Joshua.
Justin pipes in, "I feel like we definitely do not appeal to a large mainstream type of people, for better or for worse...the weirdos and freaks and what not, I love them with all my heart. But I guess to try to be anything other than yourself," that is something that simply wouldn't sit right with him.
Motion City Soundtrack came together 14 years ago in their hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota and unlike other musicians who are naturally skilled in playing an instrument, Joshua says, "when I decided that I wanted to be in a band and make music, I couldn't play an instrument, when I started I was terrible but then I started getting good at it. I didn't know how you became a rockstar, how to be cool..."
Justin agrees by saying, "Music just seems to make sense to us when other things didn't." They went to school, had other jobs, but music and their love for it seemed to keep bringing them together. Justin continues that "we'd rather be poor and make music than not have that. But luckily for us, we are able to make a career out of it. We would be doing this no matter what."
Their unusual pop-punk sound strikes the balance between upbeat music and darker lyricism, and they are not afraid to tackle life's big questions and face raw emotions head on. This has endeared them to fans worldwide. They also placed heavy emphasis on touring and playing in all sorts of places.
Jesse points out: "Nowadays with Internet, having the information and stuff online," the barriers to people hearing about your music has lessened even more.
"We toured a lot and ended up bigger in cities other than our hometown."
Justin adds, "Touring played a really big part in making our career, but another huge thing really is the Internet. The fact that people could get our music for free and listen to it, I wouldn't underestimate having people listen to music for free..."
Joshua further explains their way of thinking when it comes to writing their songs, "each of us will come with whatever song we are working on: an idea on guitar, an idea on bass, drums or keyboards, or sometimes Justin's stuff for the melody usually, so we go with what feels right."
What do they draw inspiration for their songs?
"Everything I do," admits Justin. "A lot of the time there is a good check and balance system, we've had some pretty awful lyrics in the past, and now as I'm getting older, I'm getting to branch out into other territories." They make music together and ensure that ideas get bounced off each other, with everyone getting their voice heard, literally.
This mutual give and take has allowed Motion City Soundtrack to flourish for 14 years and stay united for that long, not an easy feat in the sometimes fickle nature of the music industry. Matthew reveals that being in a band is "much like being in a family, you just have to respect one another and understand people's personalities...when someone needs space, you give them space."
Justin quickly quips, "It also helps that we live in four different states!"
According to Joshua, they also manage to keep their music fresh "by not worrying about the outcome as little as we can, and writing what makes us feel good at that moment." He adds that they oftentimes go down paths they haven't tried instead of sticking to what worked for them in the past.
Motion City Soundtrack is excited to be performing in front of a Filipino audience, fresh from their Tokyo and Indonesia stops. Jesse reveals, "we all agree that coming to Asia and Southeast Asia, we really enjoy that a lot...the people we met and we appreciate the opportunity to travel to Manila."
Justin says, "The fact that we are actually here, right now, and get to do this is amazing. Already I'm 90% there. If there are people there at the show, and those people are happy, that's gonna be awesome."
Their hit releases "Commit This To Memory," "Even If It Kills Me," My Dinosaur Life," "Hold Me Down," "Broken Heart," "True Romance," and "Disappear" among others are sure to remind long-time fans why they love Motion City Soundtrack. During the concert, the band will also be performing songs from their latest album, Go, which they promise is their most mature and developed album to date. Justin says, "I feel like this album is a choose-your-own-adventure book in the sense that you can look at these songs from different angles depending on your mental state."

Nestled along the banks of the Ohio River in Southern Indiana, Evansville is a hidden gem of the Midwest. Because of its proximity to major cities like Nashville, Indianapolis, Cinncinnati, and St. Louis, Evansville is an ideal location for those who prefer small-town charm but easy access to the big city lights. Evansville offers affordable housing, top-notch schools, fantastic shopping and dining, and world-class medical facilities while maintaining a courteous, know-your-neighbor atmosphere. Evansville is a popular place to live, work, and visit, and is growing at a rapid pace.
Rich in history, archeologists have discovered evidence that Native Americans lived around the area from at least 8,000 BCE. The most notable being at Angel Mounds State Historic Site in Newburgh. Evansville, as we know it, was established on 200 acres of land that Hugh McGary Jr. purchased from the government in 1812. Evansville is named after the legislator and war hero Col. Robert M. Evans to help attract more settlers to the village.
Because of its location and vast natural resources, Evansville blossomed into a thriving social, economic, and industrial hub for the entire region. In WWII, Evansville rallied to lead the nation in the production of landing ship tanks (LSTs), P-47 aircraft, and ammunition helping the United States claim victory over the Axis alliance.
On Evansville's east side you'll find the University of Evansville (founded in 1854) and on the west side, you'll find the University of Southern Indiana (founded in 1965). Frontier League Baseball's Evansville Otters make historic Bosse Field home. Only behind Wrigley Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston, Bosse is the third-oldest working baseball field in the country and was featured in the beloved film A League of Their Own starring Tom Hanks, Madonna, and Geena Davis.
Evansville's most notable annual event is The West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. Held the first full week of every October, over 135 non-profits are invited to sell food items down Franklin Street.
