Faces of Northwest Folklife: Dr. Joyce Paul Siamak
Over the past 45 years, Northwest Folklife has had the opportunity to work with leaders, organizers, teachers, elders, and various community members who have helped us celebrate the unique arts and culture that make up our Pacific Northwest community. We would like to highlight some of the many groups and individuals that we work with, to put a face to the people who really help to make Northwest Folklife possible–because Northwest Folklife truly is all about your communities, your traditions, and your folklife.
This is 'Faces of Northwest Folklife.'

Mentor, choreographer, educator, and UX Design Researcher and Anthropologist—these are some of the many ways in which Dr. Joyce Kakariyil Paul leaves her mark on our community. Born in New Delhi, India to a Syrian Orthodox Christian Community, Joyce moved to Seattle in 2001. "Growing up in India [prior to] the TV/Internet/Mobile era, I never really got to see too many dances from other parts of the world," she shares. Upon arriving in the city, she found ways to bridge her culture with our greater community, creating opportunities to acknowledge and highlight the culture and struggles of the Indian diaspora in Seattle.
My goal in this life is to create a difference in the community I live in using the artistic gifts and talents I am blessed with. I have always used my artistic endeavors to bring awareness about social issues.
Joyce attended her first Northwest Folklife Festival the first year she lived in Seattle in 2001 and has been attending and performing ever since. As a dancer and culture bearer, she was immediately taken by the sights, sounds and cultures of the world presented over the period of the four-day Festival. "Seeing a huge variety of artists from across the globe over four days was just mind-boggling and a totally blissful experience for me..."
Her first performance at the Festival was the next year and focused on issues of war and destruction in the post 9-11 world. From starting as a performer, she ultimately became a Northwest Folklife Community Coordinator in 2015, organizing the Incredible Dances of South Asia showcase every year since. The show highlights the colorful variety of folk and classical dances of the region, branching out to include cultures and communities from Bangladesh, Nepal, as well as throughout India. To read more about her mission and vision around the Incredible Dances of South Asia, visit this 2015 article.

Beyond her work with the Folklife Festival, Joyce has rooted herself through a variety of academic and artistic endeavors. With a Ph.D. in Anthropology of Performance, Joyce is a guest lecturer at the University of Washington, Cornish College of the Arts and served as adjunct faculty for Cornish as well as Spectrum Dance Theatre. With a specialization in the injury patterns of elite dancers, her thesis was the first scientific study of Bharatanatyam dancers in India. She has presented at the Dance and Child International Conference, and the 4th NDA Conference on Pedagogy, Wellness and Healing for her paper, "Healing through Angika Abhinaya and Rasanubhava". Outside of academia, she is a beloved choreographer who has also expanded her reach into the theatre community as a guest choreographer for ACT Theatre's Ramayana.
[Dance] comes naturally to me," she says. "It's a gut feeling, a burning desire to create movement that is waiting to find its form. When I choreograph, it's the churning of an inner sea that is waiting to take the shape of a beautiful, multifaceted snowflake.
She has also founded Socially Conscious Artists Foundation (SCARF), a nonprofit with the mission to "create and foster art that brings awareness around social issues to galvanize change." Her mission is to utilize her art and advocacy to highlight social issues such as mental health and cultural identity.
Joyce's work is highlighted at MOHAI's new exhibit, Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation. Featuring a variety of photos, audiovisuals, and artifacts, this exhibit highlights a story unique to the Indian American Diaspora, with a special consideration of Indian Americans in the Pacific Northwest. Created by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, this exhibit is now on view at MOHAI until January 26, 2020.
Looking towards the future, Joyce hopes to continue her art and advocacy through her choreography, SCARF, as well as at Northwest Folklife and we're all excited to see the projects that result from this work!

Raspberry Cough Strain is a recommended medical strain due to its clear "up" yet calming effects. Its mother is a Cambodian landrace individual especially high in THC and the father is our award-winning, always popular ICE. The f1 cross has many red hairs and a tendency to develop blue hues with a cooler night/dark temperature. The tall, somewhat thin plants can be grown very close together for maximum yield.


Teresa Pegors, Peter Bryan, Marcelo Mattar, Russell Epstein; Decoupling perceptual and response biases in a sequential face judgment task. Journal of Vision 2014;14(10):1257. doi: 10.1167/14.10.1257.
When people make perceptual or evaluative judgments on a series of stimuli, the judgment on one trial is often influenced by the trials that came before (e.g. Matthews and Stewart 2007, Kondo et al. 2012). In such cases, it is difficult to characterize the separate influences of the previous response, the previous stimulus, or both, since these two effects are usually highly correlated. We attempted to solve this problem by creating an experimental design that allowed us to independently measure the effects of the previous stimulus and the previous response. 112 female faces were displayed sequentially for 4 seconds each. For each face, participants either made a face attractiveness or hair darkness rating on a 1-8 Likert scale. Importantly, these judgments alternated such that all attractiveness judgments were preceded by hair darkness judgments, and vice versa. Because hair darkness was uncorrelated with face attractiveness, we were able to regress the attractiveness rating in a given trial on both the previous response and previous mean face attractiveness (values for which were determined based on data from 28 independent raters). Across 30 subjects, we found that the mean attractiveness of the previous face negatively predicted the current face attractiveness judgment; in contrast, we saw no influence of the previous response. Our results suggest that the attractiveness of the previous face has a contrastive effect on the current attractiveness judgment given to a face, and that assimilative effects due to the previous response may only operate across trials of the same judgment type. The alternating design we use here offers a method for researchers to independently characterize influences due to the previous response and the previous stimulus in sequential judgment tasks.

NEED. Today about 5 billions people (or 70% of the world's population) live without centralized water supply. According to statistics, in developing countries thousands children die daily due to diseases, which are associated with poor hygiene. One of some negative factors is the problem with hands washing. Besides, from time to time natural disasters happen, and even in developed countries arises the same problem with hygiene and sanitation, and in particular - with washing hands. Therefore, there is a huge need for a simple, convenient and inexpensive device for washing hands.
HUMANITARIAN SIDE OF PROJECT. The proposed device could be a humanitarian aid for many millions of people. It would be the materialized opportunity of create, test, replicate, and encourage people to wash their hands - as it was proclaimed by Global Handwashing Day initiative.
DESCRIPTION. The device for washing hands consists of two parts - a base shell for water and small vessel (measuring cup - dispenser), that measures and gives out a portion of water. In working order, both parts are tightly connected to each other.
WORKING PHASE. When the rod is moved to the upper position, water quickly fills the measuring cup. When the rod is released, it returns to the lower position, and a portion of water from the dispenser flows slowly onto the hands.
PROTOTYPE. Such a hand washer device is well-known in Russia more then 150 years. It is very demanded device in country side without centralized water supply. Its traditional name is rukomòynik, i.e. hand washer.
DESCRIPTION PROTOTYPE, IT'S ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. The advantages of a traditional hand washer are simplicity and cheapness. The disadvantage is that the water from the base shell flows only when the hand moves the rod upwards. At this time it is difficult to wash hands thoroughly. But when the rod is lowered and the hands are free, the water immediately stops flowing. Inconsistency of processes - washing hands and water flows - leads to excessive water consumption.
NOVELTY. In the proposed device, the disadvantage was eliminated by the measuring cup - dispenser usage. The novelty of the idea is confirmed by the Russian Federation patent for utility model RU 150018 (2015).
REAL LIFE TEST. One of the variants of hand washer (this variant can be considered as a preliminary material model of the proposed device) with a measuring cup - dispenser was made from easy accessible materials, and it was used for more than 10 years in a rural area house without centralized water supply. For washing hands, the water consuming was about at two time less than if using a traditional hand washer.
PRODUCTION. Production technology - widely used plastic molding from easily accessible plastic.
Today about 5 billions people (or 70% of the world's population) live without centralized water supply. According to statistics, in developing countries thousands children die daily due to diseases, which are associated with poor hygiene. One of some negative factors is the problem with hands washing. Besides, from time to time natural disasters happen, and even in developed countries arises the same problem with hygiene and sanitation, and in particular - with washing hands. Therefore, there is a huge need for a simple, convenient and inexpensive device for washing hands.

Ripening at the end of winter and into early spring, they are not only incredibly abundant but versatile too; loquats can be stewed to make chutney, boiled to make jam or even preserved with alcohol to make a potent liqueur.
1. Trim the stem and flower end of the loquats. Remove the stones and any membrane between the stones. The loquats brown a little on the cut edges but regain their colour when cooked. Loquats do not need to be peeled.
Every year, runners from countries as diverse as Kenya, Ethiopia, Canada and Ukraine flock to our beautiful island to take part in a high-energy three-part racing event held over the Martin Luther King Day holiday weekend. The event is, of course, Bermuda Marathon Weekend, the biggest and most challenging of its kind. Over 800 participants are expected and hundreds upon hundreds of dedicated fans will gather to show their support.
The Bermuda National Athletics Association presents the 40th annual Bermuda Marathon Weekend, January 16–18, 2015. Individual events will be spread over three days, with the Front Street Mile on Friday, the 10K and 10K Walk on Saturday, and the Marathon and Half-Marathon on Sunday. Guest lectures featuring famous runners as well as screenings of inspirational documenta-ries are also on the agenda.

2. Peel and cube the apples.
3. Cut the apricots into strips.
4. Peel and cut the ginger into julienne strips. 5. Crush some of the mustard seeds to release the flavour by leave the majority whole.
6. Put all the ingredients into a large pan and bring to a boil. Simmer for about an hour and a half until the apple is cooked to a pulp. Stir occasionally so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
7. Heat some clean jars in a hot oven to steralise them.
8. Pour the hot chutney into hot jars. Put the lids on while still hot.
9. Store in a cool dry place for up to nine months. 10. Opened jars should be kept in the fridge.
