Hamtramck Stadium
Historic Hamtramck Stadium is one of only five Negro League home ballparks still in existence. The grandstand and field are in Veterans Memorial Park on the south side of Hamtramck. The Stadium was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. In 2014, a State of Michigan Historic Marker was dedicated at the site. On January 12, 2017, Hamtramck Stadium was the recipient of a National Park Service African American Civil Rights Grant for pre-development planning.
FHHS launched its first online fundraiser on March 4, 2019, via the Patronicity.com platform. Video and details below.

HAMTRAMCK— Detroit rock star Jack White and his Warstic Woodmen headlined a sandlot-style charity baseball game on Thursday at Hamtramck Stadium, former home of the Negro League Detroit Stars, to benefit the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium. Hundreds of fans showed up to support the event. (FULL STORY HERE from The Detroit News.)
Thanks 50,000 Times
With the support of more than 300 donors, the Patronicity crowdfunding campaign launched by the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium and the Piast Institute has exceeded its $50,000 goal!
We are very grateful for the outpouring of support and will soon be getting to work on restoring the historic field in conjunction with the Hamtramck Stadium Grounds Crew.
FHHS launches new campaign to restore historic Hamtramck Stadium

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. — With the help of Detroit native and rock star Jack White, the Piast Institute and the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium today are pleased to announce the launch of a new campaign to begin restoration of the former home of the Detroit Stars, one of the few remaining Negro League ballparks in America.
Located near the border of Detroit in the diverse city of Hamtramck, Michigan, Hamtramck Stadium hosted many Negro League legends over the years, including Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, and Detroit's own Norman "Turkey" Stearnes.
White, an avid baseball fan best known for fronting legendary Detroit garage-rock band the White Stripes, is helping kick off the campaign with a very generous $10,000 donation.
The campaign, launched through Detroit-based Patronicity.com, aims to raise $50,000 to restore Hamtramck Stadium's historic field for baseball and soccer games in advance of a planned restoration of its historic grandstand. Other improvements to be funded with the money raised include enhancing the existing cricket pitch, installing new signage, and installing wayfaring signage around Hamtramck to direct visitors to the site.
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation will match donations to the campaign, up to $50,000.
"We're thrilled to be participating in the MEDC's Public Spaces Community Places program," says Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium founder and president Gary Gillette. "We're hopeful the historic preservation community can help us meet our goal."
The existing grandstand, which hasn't been used since the 1990s, is currently closed to the public, but the City of Hamtramck has a new plan for its redevelopment.
"From its founding, the Piast Institute has focused on telling the story of Polish-Americans in Detroit and Hamtramck, which are intertwined with the stories of the historic African-American communities in both cities," says Piast executive vice president Virginia Skrzyniarz. "The revival of Hamtramck Stadium will be a living monument to Hamtramck's legacy of diversity and tolerance."
"Hamtramck Stadium is one of just five remaining locations where major Negro League teams once played their home games and represents a historic period in the Detroit community," says Gillette.
It was also the home of Hamtramck's 1959 Little League World Series champions.
"As a field that's welcomed at least 18 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, including great Negro League players like Turkey Stearnes, Josh Gibson, and Satchel Paige, Hamtramck Stadium serves as an important reminder of African-American history here in metro Detroit and across the country," says Gillette.
"Our hope is to preserve this very special place where my father and his teammates made history," says Rosilyn Stearnes-Brown, daughter of Hall of Fame Detroit Stars outfielder Turkey Stearnes.
"It's important to provide our young people with opportunities that will enrich their minds and will make them productive, positive individuals, striving to make a difference in our society just like the players in the Negro Leagues," says Stearnes' daughter Joyce Stearnes Thompson. "Hamtramck Stadium can be a magnificent field of dreams that will preserve the legacy of my father and the Negro Leaguers in this special place they loved."
"The history of Detroit cannot be told without including the history of African-Americans," Gillette says, "and the history of Detroit's black community is not complete without the history of the Negro Leagues and the Detroit Stars. Norman 'Turkey' Stearnes and his teammates fought against segregation and discrimination both on and off the field, leaving a legacy we can help preserve by restoring Hamtramck Stadium as a community gathering place and a venue for youth sports."
Built in 1930, Hamtramck Stadium was home to the Negro National League Detroit Stars in 1930-1931 and again in 1933. The field was also home to the Detroit Wolves of the Negro East-West League in 1932, and to the Negro American League Detroit Stars in 1937.#

This meeting took place on Sunday, June 14, at the Detroit Yacht Club on Belle Isle.
An ode to Hamtramck Stadium
Joyce Stearnes Thompson, daughter of Baseball Hall of Famer Turkey Stearnes, spoke recently at a gathering of the Eddie Lake Society, a longtime group of Detroit Tigers fans and baseball aficionados founded by the late Joe Falls.
After regaling her audience with tales of her famous father (who starred in the Negro Leagues from 1923-1940), Joyce ended by reciting a poem she'd written in honor of Hamtramck Stadium, followed by a beautiful song in tribute to her father:
Ode to Historic Hamtramck Stadium
How can I tell you about the heritage of this Historic Hamtramck Stadium
An amazing place where I never had a chance to see Dad or the Detroit Stars play;
Memories that can only be envisioned in my mind of one of the best teams ever
Turkey, a nickname given to my father because of the way he ran the bases
Remarkable! Respectful and revered, with many records lost or never recorded
Awesome and exciting describe the way the Negro Leaguers played
Many games were played in this classic ballpark, packed with adoring fans
Cool Papa Bell and Satchel Paige contributed to the legacy, so don't let it die
Keep it alive as a reminder for kids interested in playing baseball or other sports
Save this field! Segregation is a thing of the past. Corporate sponsorship is a must!
Today begins the time for redemption for all of the talented players who
Accomplished much, but were denied the chance to play in the Major Leagues
Denied because of the color of their skin and then their dreams were shattered
Imagine the pain they felt. Still, they impacted the game and loved the ballpark.
Understand the importance of restoring this historic and rustic grandstand
Maintenance will surely be provided by the magnificent, dedicated Navin Field Grounds Crew,
who continue to show their love for Tiger Stadium

Last of Us series gets a Cannes winner to direct
Beanpole director onboard
By Sam van der Meer January 15, 2021
The upcoming The Last of Us series adaptation is moving along at HBO, with the recent announcement that Kantemir Balagov, Cannes award-winning filmmaker behing 2019's Beanpole, is set to direct.
Scripted by Naughty Dog co-president (and Last of Us game director) Neil Druckmann and Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin, The Last of Us was originally set to be directed by Johan Renck, who partned with Mazin on Chernobyl's five episodes. A scheduling conflict now sees Renck stepping down, with Balagov taking the director's chair.
Beanpole was a big hit at 2019's Cannes Film Festival, where it earned Balagov the Best Director award in the Un Certain Regard category. It comes as no shock that HBO is looking to tell a serious story with The Last of Us, given the source material's grim tone. The news of Balagov's involvement to direct the project would indicate that Mazin and Druckmann's scripts are certainly less DOOM and more Children of Men, though time will tell.
Coming off of the critical acclaim and financial success of last year's The Last of Us Part II, Sony seems to be backing a winning horse with the upcoming series. They've certainly kept it no secret that they're looking further into screen adaptations of their gaming franchises, with the Uncharted movie chugging along… eventually.
With principal photography not yet underway, expect the Last of Us series to be a ways off still, with a late 2021/2022 premiere.

All 7 Continents Will Be Forced to Endure Climate-Change Concert
By Jessica Roy

Besties Al Gore and Pharrell Williams have teamed up for another Live Earth climate-change concert, because the first one they did in 2007 clearly had such an impact on our environment. The 24-hour event will take place in six cities — Paris, New York, Rio, Beijing, Sydney, and Cape Town — and be livestreamed for everyone to watch. Scientists stationed in Antarctica will even play the final gig, making this effort to raise awareness a truly global affair. Just get Taylor Swift to headline, and I'm totally in.

The recent experiment conducted by an international team of physicists focussed on a principal feature we often use to define time – the movement of energy.
A clue lies in something called entropy. In a system cut off from gaining energy – such as our Universe – things tend to go from ordered to disordered, giving large scale systems a bias in how energy is distributed.
Are there limits to this generalisation? Apparently so, at least according to the results of this experiment.
This allowed them to 'listen in' on their behaviour as they slowly heated the nuclei using nuclear magnetic resonance.
The particle correlation made a significant difference to how energy was shared between the bodies – the heated hydrogen particles got even hotter, while their colder entangled carbon partner got colder.
And, to be clear, the work is limited to a very small scale – it won't give us a flux capacitor we can use to swing back to the '60s. But it does show the arrow of time isn't absolute.
On a practical level it shows how heat can be channelled in strange ways using the rules of quantum physics, which could have some interesting technical applications.
I read this great article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Physicists Have Created a Set of Conditions in Which Time Seems to Run in Reverse and is located at https://grendz.com/pin/6163/.


It's a good question. How do you get 4 bicycle bags on a plane, when most airlines only allow 1-2 checked bags?
Here's our secret: the Chinese shopping bag.
We call it Chinese because we normally buy these sturdy plastic bags with plaid patterns in Chinatown. It turns out the Chinese shopping bag has a variety of names around the world, including the "Ghana Must Go" bag and the "Guyanese Samsonite". In the UK, we've found they're often referred to as "zipped laundry bags". (read an interesting history of these bags).
Cheap. Expect to pay $1-5 U.S. depending on the size and where you buy your bag.
Universally available, from the dollar stores of America to the markets of Kyrgyzstan.
Robust. For us, these bags last years. We never worry about them giving way, even when packed with luggage.
Multi-functional. Use it for a clean place to sit when you have a picnic, as a water-resistant back bag on your bicycle (great for covering tents) or as 'extra storage' when you need to carry a little more food and water.
Light and foldable. They're easy to stick in your bags or under your luggage racks when not in use.
We typically travel with 2 of these bags in the biggest size we can find. At the airport, we unfold them and stick 2-3 Ortlieb panniers in each Chinese shopping bag plus the dry sacks with our tent, sleeping bags and mats inside.
We then carry any remaining luggage with us on the plane. Usually we just have 1 handlebar bag (this counts as a purse for ladies!) and 1 pannier with valuables. Voila! Packing your panniers for a flight doesn't have to be complicated.
We call them "Gypsy" bags and have used them on every tour we have done. And used them just as you said, great thing to have with you.
Though be prepared to go hunting for them in Christchurch, NZ. Peli spent 2-3 hours wandering around town asking in every shop for them. Only to be told "yes we do know what you are looking for but we don't have them". Only to find the last one in one shop who at first said we do not have.
What shop was it in Christchurch, do u remember?
We bought ours in Thailand – we call it the oo-ah bag – it is amazing how much stuff you can get in it, and it is pretty sturdy.
It must have caught on something because it was ripped. I tried fixing it with duck tape but it just got worse and rose.
Oops, that last word should be 'worse'. My bad typing!
but how safe are they to check in? I assume you can't lock them?
At some point you just have to take a chance. We don't worry so much about theft. All our real valuables go with us as carry on and the bags look pretty poor. I'm not sure anyone would want to steal them. We often wrap a bit of duct tape around the outside so they're not easy to just zip open.
Tried to find some in Canada but haven't so far (dollar stores visited mostly). Any idea of what store could carry them? Tks!
Dollar stores are a good bet. Otherwise, IKEA has similar bags.
Just finished my hunt ALL around LA for one of these. I was starting to think Americans didn't use them, because no one knew what I was talking about. But finally found one in a 99c store (the 4th 99c store I went to). Hooray.
I just lifted my panniers off the bike and voilá—they magically became carry-ons. Too bad I had to leave the bike behind.
Hi. I found your reference to the oversized "Chinese" shopping bag and, while I haven't gone out to my local dollar store yet, I've been searching online for ANY reference to one to review dimensions and/or order online. Do you know of any outlets that carry so I can check it out? Thanks!
I've never tried to order them online; it's always something we pick up at the last minute at a local shop before going to the airport. They are available in many different dimensions. That said, I did a quick search for you. On eBay UK, I see them listed as "zipped laundry bags". Hope that helps!
I'm just about to book to outbound flights for my summer tour across Central Asia, and we are going with a quite budget airline – Pegasus Airlines (we're students after all).
We were advised when we emigrated (we took over nine bags in the hold!) to use two (an inner one and outer one) just in case. And I taped them too (although I must say uk brown parcel tape doesn't stick to them very well…).

Sanmin () ist ein Bezirk der Stadt Kaohsiung auf Taiwan in der Republik China.

Der 19,7866 km² große Bezirk liegt im zentralen Stadtgebiet Kaohsiungs, umgeben von den Bezirken Gushan, Zuoying, Renwu, Niaosong, Fengshan, Lingya, Xinxing, Yancheng und Qianjin. Ende Februar 2013 war Sanmin mit einer Einwohnerzahl von 349.685 der Bezirk mit der zweitgrößten Bevölkerung Kaohsiungs.

Im 17. Jahrhundert gründeten drei Sippen chinesischer Einwanderer aus Fujian im westlichen Teil des heutigen Bezirks ein Dorf namens 三塊厝 (taiwanisch: Saⁿ-tè-chhù, "drei Gehöfte"). Der Name wurde über die Jahrhunderte und auch während der japanischen Herrschaft über Taiwan beibehalten. Nach der Übergabe Taiwans an die Republik China wurde der Stadtteil erweitert und 1957 in Anlehnung an die "Drei Volksprinzipien" Sun Yat-sens (chinesisch: 三民主義 Sanmin zhuyi) in Sanmin umbenannt.

Sanmin ist einer der bedeutendsten Verkehrsknotenpunkte Kaohsiungs. Im Bezirk liegen der Hauptbahnhof von Kaohsiung, der auch an das Netz der Kaohsiunger U-Bahn angeschlossen ist. Zudem wird der Stadtteil von der Landstraße 1 (die im Stadtgebiet Minzu Road heißt) in nord-südlicher Richtung durchquert, und es besteht eine Auffahrt zur Autobahn Nr. 1.

In Sanmin liegen drei Hochschulen: die Medizinische Universität Kaohsiung, die Universität für Angewandte Naturwissenschaft und Technik Kaohsiung sowie die Ursulinische Wenzao-Fremdsprachenuniversität.

Durch den Bezirk fließt der Liebes-Fluss, zu beiden Seiten mit Spazier- und Fahrradwegen umgeben. Zu den weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten zählen das Museum für Naturwissenschaften und Technik, der Tempel Sanfeng Gong und der Jinshi-See.

Paul Romer, son of former Colorado Governor Roy Romer, was one of the people just awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics. Did you know that Conifer Mountain was a development by Roy Romer and that many of the roads on the mountain, including Paul's Drive, were named after his family? A little historical tidbit from Frank Fransioli who alerted us to this news! Read more below!
It can be hard to imagine life along the 285 corridor before cars, shopping centers, restaurants, and businesses, but this was the landscape of the area as little as 100 years ago. The pioneers of Conifer, Pine, and Bailey are the founders of these beautiful places where we reside and run our businesses. Those brave souls faced the harsh Colorado winters without snow plows and 4WD vehicles. They braved the elements (and wildlife) before indoor plumbing. They farmed the land and spent a day and a half in their wagons to take crops to The Brown Palace in Downtown Denver for sale. They built the railroad that opened commerce to the Bailey area and beyond. And they are the ones who laid the cobblestones of the towns we love.
From the collection of the Littleton Museum. May not be reproduced in any form without permission of the Littleton Museum.
Mountain life in Colorado had many hardships and those pioneers endured it all. Think about this - if you have lived in the Corridor for a while, you've experienced winter storms that dumped feet of snow on top of us. We are lucky to have machinery available to help us with the load, but these pioneers relied on their tools and hands. They were snowed in for days, weeks, and possibly even months while they enjoyed the beauty this area has to offer.
Today, we are fortunate to have the ancestors of these strong and resilient pioneers give us the stories and memories of their family members. With careful preservation, those stories continue to be passed down long after they have departed. A sense of community brought the pioneers of the corridor together, just the same as it does today.
It's this story of friendship that opened the door of history for me.
PEACE - "It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."
"On September 27th, 2006, a gunman entered Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, Colorado, held seven girl's hostage and ultimately shot and killed Emily Keyes. During the time she was held hostage, Emily sent her parents text messages… 'I love you guys' and 'I love u guys, k?' Emily's kindness, spirit, fierce joy, and the dignity and grace that followed this tragic event define the core of the 'I Love U Guys' Foundation - The Standard Response Protocol PK-2 Manual, I love U Guys Foundation Curriculum Toolkit.
I had the opportunity to meet with Emily's parents and get a feel for the dignity and grace that followed. Although the tragedy was real and is still keenly felt, this story is about what happened AFTER the tragedy hit. And friends, this is where the community that My Mountain Town is so incredibly proud to be a part of stepped up.
This is a beautiful article! Thank you so much for sharing their story.
-There's nothing like a good find.
I'm taking a page out of Aunt Fran's book this week and going on my own historical treasure hunt. It's my adventure and privilege to unearth the good finds around Conifer, Colorado. It's a little piece of heaven nestled in the foothills about 15 miles southwest of Denver going West up Highway 285. Conifer has a long history of treasure seekers, being first used as plentiful hunting grounds by the Arapaho, Ute and Cheyenne tribes, and then sheltering miners, trappers, and a plethora of pioneering souls who happened upon the place.
You know those weird neighbors that have nothing in common with you? The nosy ones that stare through your window to see what's up in your world just so they can tell you how to do your life better? Those sort of neighbors make living in a community a challenge sometimes. I've been known to hunch my shoulders and run inside as they start to come my way. You may have done the same thing, too. But this year, this year ... I don't have those neighbors AT ALL. I'm talking about the other ones. The awesome ones. The neighbors we all cross our fingers for when the moving van pulls up.

A controversial new bridge and ongoing development pressures threaten the important cultural landscape of l'Ile D'Orléans.
Why it matters:
The important cultural landscape of Ile D'Orleans was designated as a historic district in 1970 to recognize its rich social, cultural and architectural heritage that has been called the cradle of French culture in North America.
The landscape still bears the physical imprint of the first families that settled the island in the 17th Century and that went on to populate large sections of the new country. Farm properties retain the characteristic form of the seigneurial system and the ever-present relationship with the St-Lawrence infuses the built environment.
Why it's endangered:
Despite its designation as an historic district, the cumulative impact of new developments on the Island risks undermining conservation efforts. Equally worrisome is the controversial project to build a 'third link' between the two shores of the St-Lawrence. This major project is being fast-tracked through the political process without a clear confirmation of the need or the most suitable location for the proposed new bridge.
In order to avoid putting at risk an extremely significant Quebec cultural landscape, provincial government leadership is required to establish a sustainable balance of conservation objectives and economic development.

Igor Mitoraj is the sculptor of the new bronze doors of the Basilica of St. Marys' of the Angels and Martyrs in Rome to be inaugurated on February 28, 2006.
The new bronze doors will be unveiled at 19.00, in the presence of the religious authorities along with government officials including Marcello Pera, the President of the Italian Senate, Pier Ferdinando Casini, President of the Chamber of Deputies, Rocco Buttiglione, Minister of Culture, Claudio Scajola, Minister for Productive Activities, Giovanni Alemanno, Minister for Agriculture and Forestry Policy, Giorgio La Malfa , Minister for European Policy, Pietro Lunardi, Minister for Infrastructures and Transportation, Altero Matteoli, Minister for the Environment and Territorial Protection, Gianni Letta, Undersecretary to the Prime Minister's Office and Walter Veltroni, the Mayor of Rome.
The monumental work of art by sculptor Igor Mitoraj, arrived in Rome on February 20 from Pietrasanta, where Mitoraj lives and works. The bronze doors were commissioned two years ago by Monsignor Renzo Giuliano, the priest in charge of the Basilica for the last 15 years. Monsignor Giuliano is well known for his artistic expertise: in fact, under his direction important works of some of the most important artists of the twentieth century have been installed in the Basilica of St. Marys' of the Angels and Martyrs. These include the main altar by Umberto Mastroianni.
The new bronze doors will be unveiled for the press on February 27th . Each door is three metres by six and a half metres and weighs three tons. They will fill a gap in the Basilica, which in ancient Rome was part of the Baths of Diocletian and in the 16 th century was transformed into a church by Michelangelo. The two current doors, which are of wood and have no artistic value, were installed in the 1950s and are not in good condition.
Monsignor Renzo Giuliano says, "The doors have a profound evangelizing symbolic value, and for this reason they must be a powerful work of art in order to symbolize the revelation of a transcendent vision that is in the act of perceptively calling man to reality".
Mitoraj was inspired by themes taken from "The Annunciation" and from "The Redemption".
The bronze door on the right hand side (which can be seen from Piazza della Repubblica") shows an angel and the Virgin Mary listening to him, and you can catch a glimpse of the world in the background. Scattered figures, just heads, some blindfolded, represent the angels. The Bronze door on the left, (that of "The Redemption") symbolizes the Risen Christ represented by a figure marked with a cross .

The Robert M. Minkoff Foundation, Ltd.
Academic Symposium
Beauty Beyond Nature: Awards
Beauty Beyond Nature: Press
The second Robert M. Minkoff Foundation Academic Symposium at UrbanGlass
The inaugural Robert M. Minkoff Academic Symposium at UrbanGlass drew 100 glass department heads, faculty, administrators, and students from around the world to Brooklyn, New York, for three days of lectures, panel discussions, a tour of Manhattan galleries, and numerous opportunities to network with peers.
For the 2015 symposium, which took place from October 22nd to the 24th, 2015, in New York City, the focus was on how new technologies are radically reshaping the fine arts landscape with special attention on what has most relevance to the glass studio. For anyone involved in glass education, this was a must-attend event with all-star presenters including:
Tina Aufiero, artistic director of Pilchuck and a mixed-media artist, delivered the keynote address.
Graduate students from MIT's Media Lab discussed a hot glass digital printer they developed with Peter Houk and his Glass Lab at the prestigious university.
Glenn Cook, chief scientist at The Corning Museum of Glass, delivered a presentation with Amy Schwartz, director of The Studio, about the new specialty glass residency where artists are invited to work with exotic formulations of glass in the Corning, Inc., archive.
Helen Lee, head of glass at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, talked about how multiple video cameras can provide accelerated skills acquisition in the glass studio.
These are just a few of the notable presenters and presentations that provided unique insights into the most important technologies emerging for use in the glass studio.
With a gallery tour, panel discussions, receptions, and multiple opportunities to connect with leading educators in the field, the symposium was a unique opportunity to advance the understanding of the role of new technology in the field of glass education while networking between peers.

Partnership with Ranch Hope offers students with behavioral issues first flameworking experience
With support from the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation, the first "Art & Glass Week" is took place at the Samuel H. Jones Glass Center at Salem Community College. in late August 2015. Sponsored by the Minkoff Foundation, the program provided a first flameworking experience to at-risk students from Ranch Hope, a nonprofit that offers intensive services to over 90 moderately, emotionally disturbed young men and women. The instructors included Dennis Breining, instructional chair of scientific glass technology at Salem Community College; artist Paul Stankard, an SCCC alumnus, and Douglas Ohm, who serves as the coordinator of the SCCC's glass instructional center. Running from August 24th through August 28th, the five-day program sought to give students an opportunity to develop hand-skills and explore creative expression as they learned about all aspects of the flameworking process.
Inaugural "Expanding Horizons" partnership with the Corning Studio
Running from July 19 - 26, 2015, the inaugural "Expanding Horizons" program, a partnership between the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation and The Studio at Corning, brought six students hailing from Watts, Los Angeles; Chicago; Newark, New Jersey; and Benton Harbor, Michigan, to the town of Corning, New York. Along with their mentors, high-school-aged students spent the week learning skills from the Studio's instructors, touring the world-class art collection with a museum curator, and hearing inside tips from the retail store buyer about selling your work — just a few of the events offered on the busy schedule. The multiple presentations to students were designed to broaden the students' awareness of what is possible in glass art and make them aware of the resources -- from the Rakow Library to the state-of-the-art facilities -- available to glass artists.
Second At-Risk-Youth Forum at Glass Art Society conference
For the second time, the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation paid for travel and lodgings of some attendees, and organized a panel discussion and luncheon networking session, to facilitate connections between at-risk youth programs that use glass art as a means to teach life lessons. With outstanding programs pursuing their initiatives on opposite coasts of the U.S., as well as throughout the country in cities like Chicago and Tulsa, there have been few opportunities for these program heads to learn from one another, share success stories, and leverage their experiences.
On June 6, 2015, the executive directors of Hilltop Artists in Residence in Tacoma, Washington, and GlassRoots in Newark, New Jersey, joined representatives of programs in Chicago and Corning, New York, on stage at the 2015 Glass Art Society conference to discuss best practices.
To make the most of the limited time, and unique opportunity to bring together leaders from this field, the panel divided up into breakout sessions, reconvening at the close of the panel discussion to share what transpired in each group. After the panel discussion, the Minkoff Foundation sponsored a luncheon where Nate Watson, executive director of Public Glass in San Francisco, shared the results of a collaborative project his at-risk kids completed with another cultural organization in San Jose.

At-Risk-Youth Forum at the Glass Art Society Conference in Chicago
On Friday, March 21st, 2014, an At-Risk Youth Panel sponsored by the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation brought together representatives from the top programs from around the U.S. to talk about what they were doing and to share their perspective on what works. That evening, a reception at Little Black Pearl sponsored by the Minkoff Foundation celebrated the glass program at a public high school in the South Side of Chicago, offered further networking opportunities, and a joint exhibition of work by students of these programs around the U.S. You can listen to an audio transcript of the presentations on a Website the Minkoff Foundation has created to foster better connections and exchange between these programs at www.atriskglass.org. An open forum is available to continue the discussion of best practices and share the challenges and success of using glass education to change lives.
"Beauty Beyond Nature" exhibition at the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass
Opening on September 13, 2014, and running through February 15, 2015, the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass in Neenah, Wisconsin, exhibited almost 70 works by artist Paul Stankard drawn from the Robert M. Minkoff collection. This retrospective exhibition traces the evolution of Stankard's botanical portraits in glass from his earliest attempts at paperweights to his innovative new encased forms that have expanded the scale and intricacy beyond anything that has preceded it. The exhibition is a testament to the power of a collector-artist relationship that has opened the world of glass art and the visionary advances of one artist to a broader audience through an exhibition that has traveled to several venues. A coffeetable book that documents Stankard's achievement published by the Foundation serves as the exhibit catalog. Robert M. Minkoff encountered Paul Stankard's work in 2005 and, in a very brief period, built a definitive collection documenting the artist's journey in glass, with examples of the key innovations that Stankard has pioneered in bringing the paperweight form out of its traditional small form factor and into triptychs, assemblages, and vertical presentations. The Bergstrom-Mahler exhibition will continue through February 15th, 2015, and a special weekend event is planned from October 10th through the 12th that will bring together art lovers and Ferrari collectors to celebrate great artistry. There will be presentations by Robert Minkoff Foundation managing trustee and foundation director Andrew Page. More information.
Robert M. Minkoff Academic Symposium at UrbanGlass
On December 6th and 7th, 2013, the nonprofit art center UrbanGlass in Brooklyn, New York, will host glass educators for a two-day symposium to discuss "Issues in Glass Pedagogy." Jack Wax, a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University's Craft/Material Studies Department, will deliver the keynote presentation. Former Pilchuck artistic director Ruth King and artist Dan Clayman will also be offering featured presentations and participating in a panel discussion on the question: "Does the inherently complex nature of glass process work for or against the development of a conceptual framework?" A call for papers is also being issued, with selected presenters receiving a waived conference fee of $175, and an honorarium. For more information or to register for the symposium, visit the event page on the UrbanGlass website.

In late March 2013, Salem Community College honored philanthropist Robert Minkoff (pictured, far left), Abe Fleishman (second from right), and maestro Vittorio Costantini (far right) at the 2013 International Flameworking Conference (IFC). SCC Distinguished Alumnus and IFC Conference Chair Paul J. Stankard (second from left) presented the awards.
Minkoff was recognized for advancing excellence in glass education through his ongoing support of the SCC glass art program with endowed scholarships for first- and second-year students. He is also a longtime supporter of the International Flameworking Conference.
"We appreciate his strong advocacy for Salem Community College and the wonderful example he sets for others," said Stankard.
The Chrysler Museum of Art and the The Robert M. Minkoff Foundation are pleased to announce a new collaboration: 4Front: Innovation From All Angles, an artist residency that will take place from January 8th through 22nd, 2014 at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio in Norfolk, Virginia.
The "4Front: Innovation From All Angles" residency is designed for emerging artists with some glass experience. The residency seeks proposals for a contemporary art project using glass that is groundbreaking in one or more of the following areas: technique, concept, energy efficiency, and media fluency (mixed media or performance).
The deadline for submissions is September 1, 2013. More information about how to apply can be found at www.4frontresidency.org.
The Robert M. Minkoff Foundation (awarded 501c3 status in 2011) is focused on furthering the use of glass in the field of contemporary art and advancing technical knowledge about glass art process. The foundation invests not only in residencies and educational projects, but in disseminating important new developments, particularly in the areas of energy-efficient furnace design and glassmaking process.
The Robert M. Minkoff Foundation presented glass artist Paul Stankard with the debut Robert M. Minkoff Foundation Award for Excellence, in celebration of the artist's extraordinary career and outstanding contributions to the field of glass art. The presentation was made during a special VIP event that kicked off the James Renwick Alliance's Spring Craft Weekend that ran from April 4 – 7, 2013. Stankard attended this event as a recipient of a Masters of the Medium award by the Renwick Alliance. The award was presented by Robert Minkoff, managing trustee of the organization that bears his name, during a special dinner event on Thursday, April 4, 2013.
Befitting a foundation dedicated to the advancement of glass art, the Robert M. Minkoff Award for Excellence includes the presentation of a one-of-a-kind glass sculpture to the award recipient. The work of New-York-City-based sculptor Edison Osario Zapata, the inaugural award symbolizes the theme of coming together in common cause that is at the core of the Robert Minkoff Foundation's efforts. Created out of scores of hand-pulled glass canes fused into a rectangular block in the kiln, the clear glass sculpture, measuring approximately 10-inches tall, reveals a complex internal patterning that belies its solidity. It stands on a base engraved with the recipient's name and the year of the award.
On Saturday, March 9th, approximately 100 people filed into the theater at The Museum of Arts and Design to view a screening of the documentary film titled The Toledo Workshop Revisited (2012). The 48-minute film that tracked three resident contemporary artists as they rebuilt the original 1962 furnace that launched the Studio Glass movement and proceeded to experiment with it to make their own work, was followed by a panel discussion led by Jennifer Scanlan, who curated the exhibition Playing With Fire: 50 Years of Contemporary Glass, on view at the museum's third-floor galleries. The three artist residents — Amber Cowan, Kim Harty, and Matthew Szosz — joined Scanlan onstage after the screening to discuss the residency project and its impact on their own work. Also onstage was Jeff Mack, the Toledo Museum of Art's Glass Studio manager, who partnered with the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation to make the artist residency possible. Following the screening and discussion, many attendees migrated to the opening reception for a solo exhibition of Amber Cowan's work at Heller Gallery in downtown Manhattan. Also on view were individual works by Kim Harty and Matthew Szosz.

Glass Art Society Conference 2012
A unique opportunity to experience the 1962 furnace that launched Studio Glass for Glass Art Society Conference attendees
Participants in the 2012 Glass Art Society conference in Toledo had the opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of the Studio Glass pioneers. In March 2012, a 1962-style furnace was built during an artist residency at the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original workshop. That same rebuilt furnace was up and running during the Glass Art Society conference at Jack Schmidt Studios at 340 Morris Street in downtown Toledo and available to conference attendees.
EXPERIENCED glassblowers were able to check it out free of charge during the hours listed below. Just like for the participants in the 1962 workshop, the furnace itself served as the glory hole and annealing was available in vermiculite-filled cans. Access to the furnace was on a first-come, first-serve basis, and any work left to anneal was at your own risk. Any finished work had to be picked up.
FURNACE LOCATION: FURNACE HOURS:
Jack Schmidt Studios THURSDAY — 6/14
340 Morris Street 9 AM - 4 PM
Toledo, Ohio FRIDAY — 6/15
SATURDAY — 6/16
The Robert Minkoff Foundation produced a nearly hour-long documentary film about the Toledo Workshop Revisited, with prominent screenings in Chicago and New York City
The Robert M. Minkoff Foundation produced a documentary film about the 2012 Toledo Workshop Revisited artist residency commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Toledo Museum of Art Workshop in 1962, an event which launched the Studio Glass movement.
This 48-minute-long film by Derek Klein follows resident artists Amber Cowan, Kim Harty and Matt Szosz as they build a 1962-style furnace and attempt to realize their contemporary art projects using 50-year-old technology and tools. Mixing the history of the original workshop with an exploration of process of three contemporary artists who represent a new approach to the material of glass, the documentary shows two generations of artists separated by half a century but united in the search for expression in glass.
The documentary was screened for a VIP audience at the Sculptural Objects Functional Art Fair in Chicago in November 2012, and will have its official US premiere at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City on March 9th. More information, including how to purchase tickets, can be found here.

*For those unable to attend the Wednesday screenings, the film was also available for viewing at Jack Schmidt Studio (340 Morris Street, Toledo) on Thursday (9 AM - 4 PM), Friday (9 AM - 2 PM), and Saturday (11 AM - 2 PM).
50th Anniversary of Studio Glass
The Toledo Workshop Residency In the News
Daily fine art blog www.artdaily.org ran a large article on the Toledo Workshop Revisited artist residency co-sponsored by the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation and the Toledo Museum of Art. The project concluded on the evening of Friday, March 30, 2012 with artist demos and slide-show presentations, drawing an audience of 150. The furnace had melted most of the 750 pounds of Johns Manville #475 marbles donated to the residency, and the three artists had each made several works: Matthew Szosz had successfully realized several tube draws (short lived tall cylinders of glass that once were how windows were made), Amber Cowan had two dozen vessels incorporating the marbles, and Kim Harty had created a delicate lattice of stringers as well as a serene video projection installation that used shards of broken glass to bounce a moving beam of light that echoed a pipe's trajectory on the bench.
Three Artist Residents Chosen for the Toledo Workshop Revisited project at the Toledo Museum of Art (03/22/12 - 03/31/12)
Three artists (pictured L to R: Kim Harty, Matthew Szosz, and Amber Cowan) were chosen to participate in the Toledo Workshop Revisited artist residency that took place at the Toledo Museum of Art from March 22nd through March 31st. The project is being co-sponsored by the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation and the Toledo Museum of Art. A jurying panel made up of Jutta-Annette Page, curator of glass and decorative arts at the Toledo Museum of Art; Jeff Mack, director of the glass studio at the museum's Glass Pavilion; and Andrew Page, director of the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation, chose from nine proposals submitted by invited artists. The residency commemorated the 50th anniversary of Harvey Littleton's seminal 1962 Toledo Workshop by offering three artists the opportunity to realize a contemporary project using a furnace modeled after the one that Littleton and Dominick Labino developed 50 years ago. The public were able to view the residents at work at the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion during regular museum hours. In addition, the residents presented a free lecture, open to the public about their projects on March 30th from 6:30 - 8 PM at the Toledo Museum of Art as part of the institution's celebration of the 50th anniversary of Studio Glass.

The Robert Minkoff Foundation partnered with the Toledo Museum of Art to develop the Toledo Workshop Revisited Residency in 2012
In March 2012, the Toledo Museum of Art commemorated the 50th anniversary of Harvey Littleton's seminal 1962 Toledo Workshop by offering three artists the opportunity to realize a contemporary project using a furnace modeled after the one that Littleton and Dominick Labino developed 50 years ago. It was this small-scale furnace design that made the Studio Glass movement possible. To honor the past and celebrate the future of glass, selected members of a new generation of artists who directly experiment with the material in their own way were invited as resident artists for this project. It was direct experimentation with the material that drove Harvey Littleton's quest to make glass available to artists working in a studio setting.The residents began by participating in the building of a 1962 style furnace. The residency ran from March 22nd through March 31st, 2012, exactly 50 years from the original event. The residents each made a public presentation about their projects on March 30th from 6:30 - 8 PM.

Video documentary
In conjunction with a Museum of Glass exhibition, the Minkoff Foundation produces a documentary on Paul Stankard
"Beauty Beyond Nature: The Glass Art of Paul Stankard" opened at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington
From November 12, 2011 through June 17, 2012, the Museum of Glass presented a major retrospective exhibition featuring more than 70 of Paul Stankard's intricately flameworked still life sculptures encased in clear crystal. Spanning more than 40 years of Stankard's career, from his earliest attempts at paperweights in 1969 to a monumental eight-inch Honeybee Swarm Orb specially commissioned for this exhibition in 2010, the work was grouped into categories of specific forms, many of which Stankard innovated as he moved beyond the traditional paperweight in search of new ways of presenting his botanical compositions. This exhibition, which will travel to the Museum of American Glass at Wheaton Arts was made possible through the support of the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation. Read more about the exhibition at the museum's Website.
An exceptional art book honors the career of Paul Stankard through lavish photographs and essays and an interview with the artist
A new way of understanding the accomplishments of a true American master and his development from his earliest attempts at capturing a daisy in glass in 1969 to his glorious 2010 orb encasing a honeybee swarm. Paul Stankard's finely wrought organic detail is illuminated through never-before-seen high-resolution photographs enlarged and printed with the highest production values to create a unique book that is itself a work of art. In an essay by William Warmus, an interview by Andrew Page, and photographs by Ron Farina and Douglas Schaible, Beauty Beyond Nature (published by the Robert M. Minkoff Foundation, Ltd., 2011) reveals Stankard's work as a powerful touchstone that connect us to the potency of the natural world and remind us of what it means to be alive.

While online storage integrated with your Chrome browser is interesting, things get really useful when you install the Android app. This lets you download files on your mobile device after you've uploaded them using your browser. You can also use it the other way around, to upload files from your phone and access them on your PC using the Chrome web browser.
Fiabee Sync is still in beta and it's a bit rough around the edges. For instance, there's a 7MB file size limit on uploads, and you get an error message suggesting you try the Fiabee desktop client if you want to upload larger files. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to download the desktop client.
I'm also not exactly clear on why the company uses "Sync" in the title when it doesn't actually synchronize your files — it stores them online and lets you manually upload them and download them from various devices. Still, it' shard to argue with the free price tag. I expect that Fiabee will start charging for additional storage space or additional features when the app exits beta.

Plymouth and Piracy

Dr Elaine Murphy, Associate Professor of Maritime History, University of Plymouth

Plymouth has a long and fascinating maritime history stretching back for many centuries. The city's maritime history is commemorated in many of the memorials in the Barbican and on the Hoe ranging from early expeditions to the New World under Sir Humphrey Gilbert to the Mayflower in 1620 and the Plymouth Naval Memorial to the sailors who were lost in the World Wars.
Plymouth also has strong connections to piracy and privateering stretching back to Tudor times. The city's geographic position in the southwest of England with its easy access to Europe and the Atlantic made it an ideal base for pirate and privateering operations in the early modern period. Many well-known pirates and privateers also had strong Plymouth connections. Some of these men such as Sir Francis Drake and Henry Avery, are still remembered today but many more have slipped into historical obscurity. In this blog, I will explore some of Plymouth's links with piracy in the past.

The Streets Glister with Gold
Plymouth's strong association with piracy and privateering really developed in the Tudor period. In the 1540s, several Plymouth merchants and ship-owners received commissions to set out private men-of-war against the French. In September 1544, for example, William Hawkins received letters of marque to deploy up to eight ships to attack the French.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I Plymouths rose to prominence as a port associated with piracy and privateering. In Thomas Heywood's Fair Maid of the West, a play partially set in Plymouth in the 1590s one character describes 'How Plymouth swells with gallants; how the streets Glister with gold!'. Tensions with Spain over access to the riches and trade of the New World stretched back for many years. Religious animosities between Catholic Spain and Protestant England also enflamed relations. Plymouth merchants, such as John Hawkins, defied the Spanish government to trade with their colonies in the Caribbean. In the 1560s Hawkins made large profits on his first two slave voyages when he sailed from Plymouth to the coast of Africa and then to Spanish territories in the Caribbean. The Spanish and English sometimes came to blows over English attempts to trade in the region. In 1568 at the Battle of San Juan d'Uloa the Spanish viceroy of Mexico defeated Hawkin's forces on his third slaving voyage.
Even though war was not formally declared between England and Spain during the 1570s and early 1580s numerous English men attacked Spanish shipping and settlements in the New World. Many of these men, including Francis Drake, were Plymouth based. In 1575, the Spanish complained that
In the port of Cartagena, an English man, a resident of Plymouth, named Francis Drake, pilot, who was with John Haquins [Hawkins] when he was at S. Juan de Lua, entered the port by night and sacked a ship of Bartolomeo Farina of 180 tons, and having taken everything of value, burnt the ship and took the said Farina captive to England.
According to the Spanish on another occasion while attacking Nombre de Dios, Drake killed eighteen Spaniards and 'proclaimed war on behalf of the Queen of England'. In 1577 Drake sailed from Plymouth with a small fleet on his voyage around the world. In reality the Circumnavigation was a three year pirate raid on Spanish shipping and territories in the Pacific. When Drake and his surviving crew arrived back in Plymouth in September 1580 they brought a vast treasure. No proper accounting was kept of this illicit treasure to avoid having to pay compensation to the Spanish. Queen Elizabeth received a large portion and knighted Drake on his ship. With his share of the booty, Drake purchased Buckland Abbey.
Was Drake a pirate or a privateer? The term privateer was not generally used until the mid-seventeenth century. But it is generally used by historians for a private individual who held a commission, known as a letter or marque or reprisal from the state to capture enemy merchant shipping. Drake claimed in his raids on the Spanish and on his Circumnavigation that he acted for the queen and she invested in and profited from his voyages. War with Spain did not formally break out until 1585 and to the Spanish Drake was clearly a pirate. Miles Ogborn in Global Lives perhaps best sums up the conundrum when we writes that 'Piracy is to a great extent in the eye of the beholder'
With the formal outbreak of war with Spain in 1585 large numbers of Plymouth men continued to be involved in privateering. From 1585 to 1591 Kenneth Andrews identified twenty-three Plymouth based ships sailing with letters of marque. In 1591 the Fancy of Plymouth and Unity of Plymouth captured two prizes. The sixteen ton Fly of Plymouth was promoted by Richard Hawkins and captained by John Sled. In 1585 John Hawkins and other Plymouth men gave a recognizance of £1000 for the good behaviour of their private man-of-war, the Elizabeth of Plymouth, eighty tons, in order to receive a letter of reprisal to seize any of 'the shippes, goodes, and merchaundizes, belonging to the subjectes of the kinge of Spayne' that they should meet.
All such Pyrates and Rovers upon the Seas to be out of his Protection
Everything changed for Plymouth based seafarers with the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England and Ireland and in 1604 made peace with Spain by the Treaty of London. All letters of marque issued during the war with Spain were rescinded and in a series of proclamations issued in 1605 the new king ordered his English subjects to cease privateering and to not aid privateers or pirates. James I abhorred piracy and he regarded those who committed such acts as outlaws. His 1605 proclamation stated that 'All such Pyrates and Rovers upon the Seas to be out of his Protection'.
Despite the king's opposition to their actions many mariners from the Plymouth region continued to pirate. Unemployment and an economic downturn at the end of the war left many mariners with few other options. Local officials such as Sir Richard Hawkins, the vice admiral of Devon, also turned a blind eye to pirate activity or received pay offs for releasing pirates. John Payne paid him £40 to secure his freedom. In 1608 the French ambassador produced a long complaint about English piracies against French ships most of which centred on Plymouth. He noted that local officials pocketed stolen goods, allowed pirates to escape including a Captain Jemminer on multiple occasions and did nothing to stop the robbery of French ships in the harbour. Over time King James eventually reduced the English pirate problem he faced through a mixture of pardons and coercion. Some local officials such as Sir Richard Hawkins spent time in jail or lost their positions.
A New Pirate Threat
In March 1625 Pethericke Honicombe an Englishman held captive in Salé in Morocco wrote to his wife in Stonehouse about his captivity and that "there were thirty sail of shippes at Sally now preparing to come for the coasts of England in the begynnyng of the summer, & if there bee not speedy course taken to prevent it, they would do much mischeef".
From the 1620s on the south west region faced a new pirate threat from pirates from North Africa often called 'Barbary pirates'. Estimates vary, but over the course of the seventeenth century large numbers of British ships and people were captured by North African pirates. Between 1610 and 1630, the Devon and Cornwall region lost roughly twenty percent of its shipping to their depredations. William Court of Plymouth described being taken prisoner by a 'pirate of Sally' as he sailed from Plymouth bound for Amsterdam in April 1625. The pirates captured so many ships that they only kept the 'choicest men' and released Court and six other 'worst men'. The threat posed by North African pirates continued throughout the century but their capability to raid shipping so easily in the region gradually declined.
1643 Seige map of Plymouth
During the Civil War of the 1640s, Plymouth supported parliament and endured a long and arduous siege by royalist forces. The parliamentarian navy played a key role in aiding the garrison to hold out by keeping the supply lines open. Privateers with commissions from the admiralty in London, such as the Discovery of London and Constant Warwick, used the port as a base for their operations against the royalists and Irish confederates. John Peterson commanded the John of Plymouth, which seized a number of prizes such as the Fortune of Dunkirk in 1643. Ad admiralty court based in Plymouth during the war examined hundreds of captured mariners and disposed of prize goods brought into the town.

The Famous, or Rather Infamous Captain Every
One of the most notorious pirates associated with the 'Golden Age of Piracy' was Henry Avery [Every]. Born around 1659 he was baptised at Newton Ferrers near Plymouth. Avery started his seafaring career in legitimate service before turning to piracy when he led the crew of the Charles to mutiny and seize the ship in 1694. He reputedly told his captain who he turned out that "I am Captain of this Ship now… I am bound to Madagascar, with a Design of making my own Fortune, and that of all the brave Fellows joined with me".
Avery and his men struck it rich when they captured the Ganj-i-Sawai, a treasure ship that belonged to the Mughal Emperor of India. Avery and his men split the loot and went their separate ways – Avery was never captured, six of his men stood trial at the Old Bailey in 1696. Charles Johnson in his General History of the Pyrates first printed in 1724 tells an elaborate but unsubstantiated story that Avery returned to Devon and went to Bideford. There some Bristol merchants cheated him of his ill-gotten jewels and died there soon after 'not being worth as much as would buy him a Coffin'

A Tradition Continues
Privateering continued to be an important part of British warfare at sea into the eighteenth century. Plymouth's development as a naval port and dockyard from the late seventeenth-century meant that the town lost some of its earlier privateering character. Nevertheless, some privateers still operated from the region and many local sailors signed onto ships for these voyages. In 1803 the Vigilant sailed from Plymouth with twenty-five men on board as a private man-of-war. In 1780 an advertisement in the Exeter Flying Post sought to recruit men 'who delight in the Music of Great-Guns and distressing the Enemies of Great-Britain' for the Mars privateer based in Teignmouth. Privateering was finally abolished in 1856 by the Declaration of Paris, which ended the Crimean War.
Here in Plymouth our memory of the town as a base for piracy and privateering is both remembered and forgotten at the same time. A statue of Sir Francis Drake takes pride of place on the Hoe and many places around the city bear his name and that of Sir John Hawkins. Each May the Barbican comes alive with a popular annual pirate festival. As a lecturer at the University of Plymouth, I teach a module on piracy and privateering each year. Other aspects of Plymouth's pirate history are now barely remembered such as the heyday of piracy under James I or the losses the region suffered during the North African pirate attacks of the 1620s. Regardless of how we think about piracy and privateering it remains a fascinating part of Plymouth's rich maritime history.

Netflix Picks Up '90s High School Dramedy Series 'Everything Sucks!'
By Nellie Andreeva, Deadline	 Jun 27, 2017 at 2:15pm

Netflix continues to tap into 1990s nostalgia with a ten-episode series order to Everything Sucks!, a half-hour dramedy from writers Ben York Jones (Like Crazy) and Michael Mohan (Save the Date) and producers Midnight Radio, for premiere in 2018.
Created by Jones and Mohan, the series — a Netflix production — is described as a quirky, funny coming-of-age story that follows two groups of high school misfits, an A/V club and a Drama club who collide in 1996 Oregon. Peyton Kennedy (American Fable) and Jahi Winston (The New Edition Story) star as students Kate Messner and Luke O'Neil, with Patch Darragh (Boardwalk Empire) and Claudine Nako (Grimm) as their respective parents. The series also features Sydney Sweeney (Emaline), Elijah Stevenson (Oliver), Quinn Liebling (Tyler) and Rio Mangini (McQuaid).
"Some of our favorite shows of all time — The Wonder Years, Happy Days, That 70s Show, Freaks and Geeks — looked back at bygone eras with 20 years of hindsight," said Jones and Mohan. "We think this is a great time to take a look back at high school and relive the fashion, music, and attitudes of the mid-'90's the way we remember it. Not sensationalized, not watered down; but desperate, heartfelt, awkward, and exciting."
Jones and Mohan serve as executive producers. Mohan will also director the bulk of the episodes, with Ry Russo-Young helming some episodes as well. Jeff Pinkner, Scott Rosenberg, Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec from Midnight Radio also executive produce.
"We're looking forward to spending some time back in the '90s," said Cindy Holland, VP, Original Content for Netflix. "Whether you were in A/V, drama, sports or band, we think everyone will find something to relate to in this coming of age story about the one thing that sucks above everything else — high school."
As part of its 1990s nostalgia theme, Netflix has Fuller House, a followup to the popular 1990s sitcom Full House. The streaming service also has the full library of one of the most popular sitcom of the 1990s, Friends.

Final Decisions For Youth Team Players
Second year scholar Devante Jacobs has been offered a professional contract with the football club but goalkeeper Paul Tyson will be released at the end of his apprenticeship.
Speaking about the decisions, Tony Philliskirk said: "In another week of tough decisions, we are obviously delighted that Devante has secured his first professional contract.
"He has had regular involvement with the first team squad over the last three to four months and in this time the senior staff have said he has showed a lot of potential so we are looking forward to seeing his progression going forward.
"He needs to maintain a very high work ethic and realise the standards he has set must be maintained if he is to become more than a squad player next season.
"Paul was the centre of a lot of discussion and deliberation but with the emergence of Joel Coleman, who is only a year older, we felt opportunities at the next level would be limited therefore he may be better served looking elsewhere where his progression could be enhanced further.
"I'd like to place on record that he has been a model apprentice during his two full time years at the club. We are sure if he gets an opportunity elsewhere, he will do well."

PA President Mahmoud Abbas with EU High Representative Federica Mogherini in Brussels, Mar. 27, 2017. (AP/Virginia Mayo) (AP/Virginia Mayo)
Abbas Seeks EU Recognition of 'Palestine' with Jerusalem as Capital
Trump Jerusalem
Abbas has taken his diplomatic war against Israel to Brussels, calling for the EU to immediately and officially recognize the state of 'Palestine' with Jerusalem as its capital.
By: Max Gelber, United with Israel
Palestinian Authority (PA) head Mahmoud Abbas arrived on Monday in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, on an official visit, during which he is urging the European Union (EU) to officially recognize the "State of Palestine".
The EU has assured Abbas it supported his aim to win 'East Jerusalem' as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
Abdul Rahim al-Farra, the Palestinian ambassador to Belgium, said Abbas was slated to meet with the deputy prime minister and minister of cooperation during the three-day visit to discuss bilateral cooperation between Belgium and the PA.
In an interview with Voice of Palestine Radio, al-Farra said Abbas would meet with EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini at EU headquarters in Brussels and will then hold a meeting with the EU's 28 foreign ministers.
Abbas will also deliver "an important speech" to the European ministers before holding a panel discussion, al-Farra said.
Abbas' meeting with the EU foreign ministers in the presence of Mogherini and her staff is important, according to al-Farra. He said Abbas will brief them on the latest developments and will ask them to recognize the "state of Palestine" on the borders of 1967 with "East Jerusalem" as its capital.
Al-Farra noted that Abbas will also seek full partnership between Palestine and the EU before meeting Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel in order to discuss bilateral relations.
Response to Trump's Declaration on Jerusalem
Palestinian Minister of Foreign Affairs Riyad Malki told AFP that Abbas will advise the EU to take the step in response to US President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"Since Mr. Trump's decision has altered the rules of the game, [Abbas] expects the European foreign ministers to come forward and collectively recognize the state of Palestine as a way to respond back to Mr. Trump's decision," Malki said.
"If the Europeans want to be a player, then they have to be fair in their treatment of both parties, and this should start with the recognition of the state of Palestine," he added.
While, the EU supports Abbas' goal for 'East Jerusalem' to be the capital of a future Palestinian state, diplomats and officials told AFP that recognition of Palestine is not not an option, that the EU leaves such a move in the hands of individual states, and the best that Abbas could hope for is progress towards an "association agreement" with the bloc.
Abbas' visit in Brussels occurs simultaneously with Vice President Mike Pence's trip to the Middle East, which the Palestinians are boycotting over the Jerusalem recognition.
Pence landed in Israel Sunday night and addressed the Knesset on Monday.
