Zeni @ Scrappy Zeni invited me to be featured on her blog for her Spotlight Saturday, and I was sooo excited to say YES!!!! I wanted to do something different than my normal, everyday projects, so I tried something new!
I say I didn't do too bad for my first time, but I definitely have a lot to learn....especially because I had to re-do the top at least once because I sewed it completely crooked. I see many mini bags in my future, especially with Halloween right around the corner, so stayed tuned!!!
I love this! I could see it as a full size tote bag - awesome!!
This is a beautiful bag Roberta!! You should be proud that you did this awesome your first try!! I haven't sewn in such a long time but I know that when I first did it I wasn'ted like 10 yards of fabric lol! I really love it and cant wait to see more of them!!
This is SO cute!! I think you need to do a tutorial on how you did this!! I can't sew either, very minimal, but maybe could learn to do something like this!!!!
Holy moly, this is too much fun! I love the tulle (is that the right name?) , polka dot ruffle and gorgeous pink ribbon. Ooo la la!
I would have guessed you'd been sewing all your life if I hadn't been told otherwise...FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
I can't sew to save my life and this is amazing!!! I look forward to seeing to many more bags in the future!
Thank you Roberta for agreeing to be spotlighted! Sewing has always scared me, so I have my mom or mother in law do it for me (lol!). Love your bag!
Hi there.. I saw your lil purse on Zeni's blog and wanted to come say hi. I think you did an AWESOME job on it!! Thanks for sharing!!
This is beautiful, you did an awesome job! I love it, be proud of yourself.
I love it, you did a wonderful job!!!
You are SO super talented in so many ways!
Soooo cute!!! You're such an inspiration!

Q: Python multiprocessing not printing example code to stdout I'm copying this code exactly from the Python multiprocessing Process documentation.
from multiprocessing import Process

def f(name):
    print('hello', name)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=f, args=('bob',))
    p.start()
    p.join()

I'd expect that when it's run in IDLE, I'd see "hello bob" come back.  Instead I get nothing.  Inspecting the p variable shows a normal exit code.
============= RESTART: C:/Users/Hoofran/Desktop/DemoMultiProcess.py ============
>>> p

Is this how multiprocessing is supposed to work, suppressing stdout?  If so why doesn't documentation mention that? What am I missing here?

Tippie undergraduate students are a diverse bunch.
Among the 2,199 students enrolled in the college this fall, one might be a direct admit freshman. Another might be a junior who just completed all prerequisites, met other admission criteria, and is now taking mostly course work that counts toward a major. Another student might be one of more than 400 international students at Tippie.
There are also Hawkeye student athletes at Tippie. This year there are 62 student athletes enrolled, each of whom hopes to graduate with a degree from the Tippie College of Business.
maintain a four-semester plan of study.
Caught between the pressures of their coaches, advisors, and course work, how do Tippie student athletes in the Tippie College manage it all? The good news is they aren't going it alone. Student athletes have one academic advisor and another athletics advisor. They are both crucial to the students' success, says Mark Archibald, an advisor and assistant director of the First-Year Experience at Tippie.
One of Archibald's goals is to make them comfortable with the pressures of working on their degree and staying eligible for their sport.
"All of that pressure is constantly on their shoulders, but they learn that the more planning they do, the less pressure they'll feel," he says.
Ally Disterhoft never had a problem with time management in high school, but she was worried about it coming to college.
Sponsored by a gift from Russell and Ann Gerdin to the University of Iowa Foundation, the learning center is dedicated to student athletes' academic success. It houses study rooms, classrooms, and a computer lab, where student athletes receive tutoring in addition to observing required study hours.
The requirement to study there meant Disterhoft was immediately in a routine of setting aside time for homework.
"Initially, I didn't want my peers and instructors to find out I was on the basketball team and expect anything less of me because of that," says the high school valedictorian. "I've taken my academic studies seriously my whole life because my motto has been 'I'm here to be a student first and playing basketball is something I do for fun.' Once in the class and doing group work, you prove yourself, so actions speak louder than words," she says.
Caitlin Tanzer had a difficult transition to college life because she entered as a student only, not an athlete. A high school gymnast, Tanzer wasn't on the Iowa gymnastics team her freshman year due to an injury. Having participated in gymnastics since she was six, she was unaware of how to manage the free time she had.
During the summer, she trained and made a comeback, joining the team and competing on the beam her sophomore year. The regimen helped her succeed, and her grade-point average jumped a full point.
Tanzer, who was lead-off on beam and competed on floor, says she shows leadership by helping her teammates in the gym and helping them learn from her early academic mistakes.
Gesell says it's hard to meet class requirements during basketball season, but his advisors and faculty were supportive.
"My freshman year, we played in the NIT tournament, and within a span of a month, I was only in class about five days," Gesell, who is one of three Hawkeyes to ever amass 500+ points, 200+ assists, 150+ rebounds, and 75+ steals by his sophomore season.
"I wanted to excel in the classroom and put in the hard work to be successful there as well as on the basketball court," he says.
To make sure he stayed on top of it all, he would take makeup tests a day or two later, did lots of homework on bus trips, shared lecture notes with a friend in class, and benefited from faculty who would post their lectures online.
Both of his advisors were very helpful in initially setting up his class schedules.
"They made sure my heavier workload is in the fall and less heavy in the spring, since the team travels more then," he says.
Entering the university as an international student from Sweden, David Ernstsson's biggest concern was the amount of paperwork required of an international student plus deciding his course work. He took a year off after graduating from high school where he'd chosen to study science.
Those discussions were crucial, he says.
Plus learning English slang, he says.
Speaking in front of his classmates made him nervous, but taking Rhetoric his freshman year, plus having to take the Business Communication and Protocol course in the college, gave him the opportunity to practice. He would also share his newfound skills and knowledge with his swimming teammates.
Ernstsson has served in a leadership capacity on the team, too, helping his teammates understand what it's like to participate in international competitions, which he did a lot of in high school and before coming to the UI.

Machine Workers In Rostov Go On Strike
April 22, 2009 08:50 GMT
ROSTOV-NA-DONU -- About 70 workers at the TagAZ machine building plant in the Russian city of Rostov-na-Donu are on strike because of overdue wages, RFE/RL's Russian Service reports.
Sergei Penchukov, a TagAZ trade union official, said the workers at the plant's assembly shop No. 26 went on strike on April 21.
Penchukov says the workers are demanding overdue salaries -- which they say have not been paid in two months -- and have stopped working according to Article 142 of Russia's Labor Code, which says workers have a right to stop working if their salaries are overdue by at least 15 days.
TagAZ management refused to comment on the issue.
Since its creation in 1998, TagAZ has made vehicles for the South Korean automaker Daewoo and Citroen. It has some 2,600 workers.

Q: Interacting with browser that has been garbage collected in try block
*

*I have a selenium browser where I've added options to use my google
chrome profile when the browser is opened.

*I know there will be an error when trying to create my selenium
browser if chrome is opened elsewhere with the same profile.

*But despite there being an error the browser still opens
What I want to do is to still be able to interact with this browser, since it still opens with the profile I wanted it to, (and for various reasons I don't want to close my other chrome instances)
I had to through in try and except so the program doesn't stop, but I think the browser gets garbage collected in the try block.
So is there a way to stop this getting garbage collected or can I find all browsers opened by webdriver ?and then set one of them to a new browser
Here's the code:
from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
try:
    chrome_options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\coderoftheday\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\")
    browser = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver.exe", options=chrome_options)

except:
    pass

browser.get('https://www.google.co.uk/')

Error:
NameError: name 'browser' is not defined

A: Isn't this just a python variable scope issue?
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/25666911/1387701
Simplest solution:
from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
browser = None
try:
    chrome_options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\coderoftheday\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\")
    browser = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver.exe", options=chrome_options)

except:
    #code here to kill existing chrome instance
    #retry opening chrome:
    browser = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver.exe", options=chrome_options)

browser.get('https://www.google.co.uk/')

Dallas Summer Musicals bring life to the city's already vital performing arts scene. For decades, locals and vacationers have flocked to the city to enjoy the music, energy, and joy that comes with a live performance.
The tradition of summer musicals in Dallas dates back to 1925 with the opening Music Hall at Fair Park. The grand hall reflects the Spanish Baroque style of architecture, especially seen in the dome and the porches overlooking the park. Over the years, the elegant theater has been expanded and renovated, adding such amenities as air conditioning, a foyer, and box office. Today, the theater is recognized for its historic value and as a fantastic venue for Dallas Broadway shows, the summer musicals, and other performances. It's also used for special events and private parties.
Fair Park is known around the world for its unparalleled collection of art deco buildings and as the home of the State Fair of Texas. This National Historic Landmark was built in 1936 for an exposition celebrating 100 years of independence from Mexico. The state fair is held the end of September into October, and entry to the fair allows you the chance to see whatever on stage at Music Hall. The theater does not go dark once the fair it ends, bringing a rich away of works to its stage from January to December.
Many of the works are staged by Dallas Summer Musicals, one of the largest producers of live entertainment in the region and also one of the oldest summer theater groups in America. The organization has been bringing musicals and other works to the stage since 1941, including Dallas Broadway shows and touring productions. Many of the biggest shows have appeared on the Music Hall stage including Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, and other big hits straight from New York and London.
Along with the familiar works, Dallas Summer Musicals helps to develop new works, put a new spin on long-forgotten works, and nurture up-and-coming talents. The company was recently awarded Tony Awards and Drama Desk Awards for its revival of Boeing-Boeing by Marc Camoletti.
The nonprofit works with a number of organizations to fund its work and maintain the theater, which help keep down the ticket prices for Dallas Broadway shows and other productions. Tickets can be purchased for individual shows and well as for the entire season. Special packages allow you to see a portion of the shows, such as the summer musicals in Dallas or the Broadway shows. Discounted tickets are available for the some of the seats, as well as for groups and members of the kids club.
Dallas Summer Musicals has partnered with the Fairmont Hotel Dallas with special packages that will delight any theater fans. The hotel, just four miles from Fair Park, decorates one of its suites in the style of a chosen Broadway play. These vacation packages include tickets to one of the summer musicals in Dallas and CD to relive the memory of the show. You also can add a meal at a local restaurant or a special backstage tour of Music Hall.
Summer musicals in Dallas are also held at the Majestic Theatre, managed by the same company as Music Hall at Fair Park. Located in downtown Dallas, the historic theater opened its doors in 1921 to host vaudeville shows. For 50 years, the Majestic was a movie house before it fell into disuse.
In the 1980s, the theater was granted a place on the National Register of Historic Places and transformed into a performing arts venue. The theater can seat 1,700 patrons for the musicals, dramas, dance performances, and other shows. Its calender of events is packed in the summer as well as the other seasons.

For Immediate Release?: September 28, 2009?
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the eve of the Principals Meeting to review the Obama Administration's Sudan Policy, The Washington Post has published a devastating portrait of the U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan, Major General Scott Gration, in action: Obama Administration Engages Sudanese Regime It Blasted, by Stephanie McCrummen?
"We've got to think about giving out cookies," said Gration, who was?appointed in March. "Kids, countries, they react to gold stars, smiley?faces, handshakes, agreements, talk, engagement."
Although many say the government has orchestrated the chaos, Gration?spreads the blame. Rebels have turned into criminal gangs and failed?to unify for peace talks, he said. And many displaced Darfuris are?dealing with "psychological stuff" that is leading to unhelpful?mistrust of the government and preventing their return home, he said.?
But in his meeting with Kiir, Gration backed the ruling party's?argument, saying it had legitimate concerns about the referendum.?Gration urged southerners to trust the government that waged a brutal?war against them for 20 years.??….

I headed there in an act of investigation, off the back of a recommendation from an old acquaintance, one Mr Francis Kaye. Hadn't heard from Kaye in around three years, we weren't ever that close when we were younger, not in any traditional sense, passing by year in year out, crossed documents, information shared, both attempting to find a pattern within existence.
Arrived around midday, there was – even at this time of day – a cool layer of air about the forest. Lightly trodden paths amongst thick bracken, roots spiralling out atop the dry ground, this was most certainly the place of Kaye's note.
It would be callous of me to put my findings down to the mere 'cult of Egyptology'.
After walking for some time I reached an opening in the woodland. Before me an arch of trees looking out onto a plane of grass and unto the other side a return to the woodland. Yet as one breaches the treeline they'll find their peripheral vision clouded by a tall grey intrusion. To pan to the right one finds a pyramid within the heart of the country. Perhaps 40ft high and made entirely of stone, the structure stands in complete isolation from nature, a memoir of its own creation, as if appearing from a minor crack in time.
It was in fact the very thought of the pyramid's place in time that made my investigation so thorough. Kaye would often recommend me places of note, ritual sites, burial mounds etc. And these would more often than not add only a footnote to a tiresome linear history. I'm sick of the past to be quite honest, all these flippant thousand page documents containing detail after detail of dead time, I cannot be bothered no more to jot down the dead lives of a dead time.
Let it be known however, upon walking closer to the pyramid my stomach bound to a knot. The lining of trees and overgrown grass seemed to pause sporadically. The pyramid loomed high and the open plane became a channel for the cold wind.
I returned home swiftly and began undertaking further research at once.
I already knew the mausoleum itself was built in 1794. However, I was yet to research into the architect. Who would design – and concededly place – such a geo-temporal anomaly? That is, dear reader, why did that pyramid feel not just out of place, but out of time.
Bonomi's mausoleum is architecture of detailed rebellion against the nature of greenery and temporality, the pyramid-shape itself splitting – vortexing – upwards into the sky.
And yet it is of Bonomi's son, Joseph Bonomi the Younger unto which my research really took its strides. For Bonomi the Younger himself became a prominent sculptor and Egyptologist, with an insatiable interest in the afterlife, a fact which is present both in his own writings and designs. One of Bonomi the Younger's designs has retained a cult-like status amongst those interested in time, space and immortality.
What adds to the mystery is that some people believe Warner, who was in negotiations over his plans for aerial bombs and sea mines with Duke of Wellington, commander in chief of Britain's army, was either murdered to prevent his designs for weapons falling into the wrong hands, or by someone who stole them from his dead body. However, others believe Warner was either a crackpot or a fraud whose inventions could never have worked.
Warner's colleague Bonomi was in the team of Egyptologists and archaeologists who first deciphered the hieroglyphic texts found on papyri in Egypt's Valley of the Kings.
Both a father and son having a dedicated interest in Egyptology is not uncommon for the educated of Victorian England, yet the strange placements, the odd rumours, the lack of record and accessibility, the very fact my blood slowed to a crawl upon approach all speak to me of a connection unto which one should not venture, and yet I feel myself pulled towards their cold temporal nature more and more.
I slept and dreamt of time.
When I woke I planned to venture back to the pyramid, assess the area, and tread into the cosmic ripples. During my journey there I thought of William Burrough's lemurs from the Ghost of Chance. The fragmented conception of time that Burrough's chose to address within his novella resonated with me. "There is always something a man must do in time." (p5) Burroughs notes. The entire novella weighted-down by the very fact that time "is not a human invention, but a prison."(p16). The Bonomi's struck me as a lineage attempting to free themselves from time, 'How?' of course was the question, not the 'Why?' for there are many clear answers why a man would wish to free himself from time, the 'How?' is of importance.
Upon my second walk to the mausoleum I began thinking of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) and their piece Lemurian Time War. A piece in which they extrapolate on the premise that Burrough's Ghost of Chance is in fact a hyperstitional document of the utmost importance in an occult time war. 'Hyperstition' – in short – meaning 'fictions that make themselves real'. Usually by the propagation of signs and writing and then utilization of both as a function within reality. I began to think of the lengths the Bonomi's had gone to effect the temporal flow of the 'present' reality. Their architecture functioning as inter-temporal signs intended for the making of a transition. That is both mausoleums – the pyramid and the tomb – stand alone as remnants of distant culture and time.
A citation from Lemurian Time War resonated with the temporal totality I'd found myself within, as if reaching from the pages a lemur-tale teased a communication, 'And what is a virus? Perhaps simply a pictorial series like Egyptian glyphs that make itself real' (Ah Pook is Here p102). I thought of this quote as I ventured into the opening once more, a distinct cosmic paranoia allowed me black-tunnel vision of the pyramid alone. The tree-linings disintegrated into a haze and the grass a blur. The mausoleum's edges stark against the dead sky and its stone fluctuating between stages of corrosion and decay.
I proposed to myself that the Bonomian time-machine was not of any 'traditional' mechanics. Those who merely dismiss the rumour as just that, 'a rumour', are missing the point entirely. The Bonomian time-machine is a hyperstitional time-machine. Their intricately composed 'fiction' is assembled both throughout time and of pieces of time. Both mausoleum's have a semiotic connection to the Egyptian afterlife and are created in such areas as to cause temporal and aesthetic confusion and resonances, hyperstitional-juxtaposition; the uncanny manner of the old man's etiquette transports you to another social bearing. And finally they lay the pure-framework of Hyperstition via the virile subtly of rumours, for who cannot resist the allure of a time machine. And as the rumours expand, grow and infect their hosts, and as the tombs root into a time not of their own, and as the semiotic cybernetic family lineage interconnects throughout and during time the fiction comes ever closer to a reality, the Bonomian time-machine reverse engineer's its own becoming by tricking the fictions of others into assimilating it.
I stood before the percolating mausoleum a man allowed but a glimpse of a cyber-temporal whole. Burroughs along with the CCRU note that "The Word Lines keep you in time…" (Word Virus, p270). That is, in accordance with the occult time war, the One God Universe (OGU) which can be thought of as complete-centrality, Order, Oneness, Control, created a fiction so oppressive that it gave birth to the reality of "biological destiny and immortality" (CCRU, p37). For there to be control, there has to be time, a system of time, or in more practical terms there has to be a time of succession. And as such once the written fiction of the OGU commenced it assimilated each and every other fiction into its own time-system.
My mind digressed at a frantic rate, pacing back and forth between excerpts of Kant, Nietzsche, Burroughs and the CCRU, piecing together the sporadic remains and becomings of a fiction I wasn't supposed to witness. Inscribed above the mausoleum's door are the words "AVCTOR PRETIOSA FACET" translated as "the giver makes the gift precious". The gift here being the first node in the Bonomian temporal-network, 'given' knowledge of paths through succession, hyperstitional landmarks juxtaposed in time to emit a previous or coming reality. A pathway through time bouncing lost souls to and fro.
The area vibrated minutely. My vision became akin to a fish eye lens, bearing down into the doorway. My peripheral vision was of frantic black splodges, darting reds and whites, as if a retro-virus had begun to wipe my perspective frame by frame, and complete corneal meltdown. And suddenly nothing, then release. As if awaking from a slow sleep paralysis that which I now saw could have been dream, could have been reality, but what I truly feared was a mixture of the two.
I pulled my gaze down from the doorway, away from the pithy inscription. I took a few steps backwards from the doorway looking around and the lagging grass. Between the tall blades and thick clumps – I believe – appeared curled black tails, red dots and tufts of dark smoke. Fading in and out of the meadow indiscriminately were the silhouettes of lemurs. The spots of temporary darkness spread to the back of the meadow and all the way to the tree line, a viral quasi-spacio-temporal rift pulsating into a drawn out single moment fell over the mausoleum, and then, the winds swept and the birds tweeted. What was this but a warning in time?
I began the journey home.

Many wearers say that the Nike Mamba Rage's full-length Lunarlon provides a flexible and comfortable ride.
The Flyweave uppers of these Kobe Bryant basketball shoes keep the feet dry according to several users.
Some like the removable insole of the Mamba Rage.
Fans of legendary Laker Kobe Bryant are happy with the affordability of the Mamba Rage.
The outriggers on the lateral side of these Nike shoes effectively provide stability.
The Nike Mamba Rage provides a good amount of support, say plenty of purchasers.
The uppers of these Nike basketball shoes are flexible according to most users.
The lockdown of the Mamba Rage is excellent. Many mention that they do not experience internal slippage.
The majority of Nike Mamba Rage owners agree that the shoe is great for light players.
At least two athletes claim that the shoe gives them persistent pinching sensations in their midfoot.
Some wearers claim that the shoe needs days to break in.
A few think that the upper of these low-top sneakers for basketball is not made of premium materials.
The outsole rubber of the Nike Mamba Rage wears out easily on outdoor courts, claim a handful of buyers.
A couple of testers observe that simple wiping do not take care of the dust that sticks to these Kobe shoes' outsoles.
Considering that it's sold for $100 only, the Nike Mamba Rage is generally a solid shoe. Besides the price, there are a lot of reasons to buy this shoe. It has a multidirectional pattern that grips indoor court floors well. On clean courts, this shoe model is a beast. Only minimal wiping is required to prevent heel slippage. It also has comfortable Lunarlon in the midsole and a flexible Flyweave upper. Really, what more can you ask for?
Ths is a pretty decent shoe for the price point but you do lack in some areas like the materials and whatnot..
It is sole brothers approved. Very, very good performer.
The Nike Mamba is one of the many signature lines of Kobe Bryant with the Swoosh. The Mamba Rage boasts a comfortable Lunarlon that can absorb impact well. The Flyweave upper gives the shoe durability. Nike designer Leo Chang added Flyweave in the upper to provide support where it is needed. It also offers flexibility and breathability. The traction provides amazing court grip, and it is supportive of any multidirectional movement.
There are some who doubt the capability of the Mamba Rage to last a season of games. Also, price is an important factor in purchasing new hoop shoes. At almost the same price, Nike has the third Paul George signature shoe to top off these Mamba shoes. If that does not satisfy, Puma Hoops also has the Clyde Court Disrupt to compete.
Cushion. The performance of the Nike Mamba Rage largely comes from the full-length Lunarlon in its midsole. It is a supportive and soft cushion that is 30% lighter than Phylon.
Traction. Depending on the colorway, the outsole of the Nike Mamba rage can either be made of gum or solid rubber. The multidirectional traction pattern has soft grooves fit for indoor courts. The traction pattern and outrigger have good stopping power that supports the wearer's lateral and linear footwork.
Length and Width. Shoes are usually designed to have the average length and width, and most are true to size. As for the Nike Mamba Rage, a good number of reviewers mention that it runs a little narrow with a small dead space in the toe area. Therefore, new buyers are advised to fit the shoe before buying a new pair. They may also go half a size up.
Lockdown. To keep the foot in place, the Nike Mamba Rage uses the standard lace-up system. The Flyweave upper provides the foot a one-to-one fit and overall support. The fit of the ankle provides good containment, preventing extra side-to-side movements.
The upper of the Nike Mamba Rage is made of Flyweave and fuse overlays. The Flyweave technology involves a traditional weaving method using warp and weft threads to create an engineered upper that provides a durable, supportive, comfortable, and personalized fit to the foot. The fuse overlays are located on the toe cap and eyelets to ensure longevity in these areas. The inner of the shoe has thick foam, giving the ankle a good wrap for support.
The Nike Mamba Rage is a low-top shoe with a half-bootie construction. The prestigious Swoosh logos are nicely printed on both sides of the shoe. To mark the shoe as part of Kobe's take-down line, his Mamba logos are found on the tongue, insole, and outsole of the shoe.
During summer 2018, the Nike Mamba Rage is released in a bright colorway. Specifically, these Nike low-top basketball shoes are dressed in a festive mix of White, Green Glow, Bright Mango, and Hyper Grape. The multicolored upper sits on a white solid rubber outsole.
The shoe model also has other colorways that draw inspiration from other animal skins.
To imitate the skin of the Komodo dragon, the upper is a blend of black, grey, and sequoia. The heel counter has a komodo dragon logo. The outsole of the Nike Mamba Rage Komodo is made of gum rubber.
To imitate the look of a scorpion, the shoe combines aqua blue and black in the upper. Its solid rubber outsole is bathed in aqua blue. The heel counter of the Nike Mamba Rage Scorpion has a scorpion logo.

This is a Sidewall. It was manufactured by Flavor Paper. It is dated 2015 and we acquired it in 2015. Its medium is screen printed and hand painted on chrome mylar, polyester diamond dust. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
Gift offer of two wallpapers from Flavor Paper's second collection with the Warhol Foundation called Glamericana. Based on the iconic Marilyn Monroe paintings by Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monoprint reinterprets these artworks as a screen-printed wallpaper.
Marilyn Monoprint is being presented in two colorways printed on chrome Mylar: diamond dust on hot pink, and black on a multicolor ground. The black colorway is a closer rendition to the paintings created by Warhol, where the black facial silhouette and background accentuates the brightly colored ground and pops it to the foreground. The pink ground with diamond dust has the opposite effect where the different hues of pink frame the facial silhouette and make it the focal point. Two colorways were selected for this pattern as the single variable of color makes such a profound difference to the appearance of the design. Printing designs in multiple colorways has always been an easy and inexpensive way for manufacturer's to increase product appeal to a greater number of consumers. The collection contains designs printed in multiple colorways dating back to the late eighteenth century, and recently acquired a Leleu-Deshay's wallpaper in four different colorways.
Marilyn Monoprint is based on the Reversals series of paintings Warhol began making in 1979, where he reused the publicity still of Marilyn Monroe from earlier paintings but reversed the tonal values, so it was like looking at a photographic negative. The canvases were hand painted with seemingly random brush strokes of intense color with the black facial silhouette printed on top. Warhol's Reversals of Marilyn Monroe could contain from one to as many as forty Marilyns. Each painted background was unique, while the printed facial images were similar but could vary depending on the amount of paint used and pressure applied when printing. Warhol also incorporated a variety of diamond dust, composed of ground glass, into a number of his original artworks beginning in 1980.
Flavor Paper has kept the design stylistically the same but recreated the artwork entirely as a screen print and made it a repeating pattern. Where Warhol hand painted colors on the canvas, Flavor Paper has perfected a similar application of paint directly on the screen. This application requires the coordinated effort of a team to apply the colors quickly with some manner of continuity, and then printing before the pigments dry. The technique requires four to six printers using a variety of brushes, spray bottles, pallet knives and squeegees to apply a mix of opaque, transparent, Day Glo and metallic inks directly on the screen and then printing that screen. This process is replicated for each repeat of the wallpaper, with the Marilyn silhouette then printed over top. Similar to the Warhol paintings, there is continuity between the repeats but each is unique.
The application of the ground colors on the Marilyn Monoprint are a contemporary version of an old technique, having a strong correlation with the irisé or rainbow papers of the early nineteenth century where the background colors were hand painted and blended in a very controlled manner. The irisé technique was developed by the Zuber factory in 1819 and required four workers and a variety of brushes, troughs and pulleys to accomplish. In essence, this involved three long brushes, each the width of the paper: the first was used to apply the different colored pigments to the paper, the second brush was moved in a zigzag motion across the paper to blend the pigments, while the third brush was dragged the length of the paper to smooth out the pigments.
Warhol made his first paintings of Marilyn Monroe following her death in 1962, using a publicity still from the 1953 film Niagara. Many of the Marilyn paintings consisted of facial features screen printed in black on an off-white ground. He also created a more spectacular version of these portraits by hand painting color shapes to correspond with lips, eyes and hair, usually painted over an orange ground, with the facial features then screen printed in black overtop. While these prints could be quite similar, each was a unique work of art. Many of these were printed as multiples creating the appearance of a repeat.

13 cities receive TDEC parks and recreation grants
Cane Creek Park in Cookeville
More than a dozen cities have received funds to provide improvements to local parks and recreation offerings ranging from the creation of new parks to the improvement of sports fields and building of trails.
Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has announced 13 cities are recipients of funds being distributed as part of three programs aimed at improving recreation opportunities across the state.
The state is awarded $448,000 for the Recreation Trails Program (RTP) as well as $6.37 million in grants through the Local Parks and Recreation Fund (LPRF) program and the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program.
"Local leaders need resources to provide recreational activities for their communities, and this is a way to help make it happen," TDEC Deputy Commissioner Jim Bryson said. "We are pleased to announce these grants and look forward to the recreation projects that result from this assistance."
As part of the TRP funds, Dyersburg received a $288,000 grant for improvements at Forked Deer Park, which includes construction of an ADA bathroom facility and a scenic river overlook. The Reagan Levee Road Trailhead will be constructed to include parking including ADA spaces, ADA access walkways, and a trailhead kiosk. At Jennie Bell School, a one-half mile walking trail with parking and an ADA parking space will be constructed.
As part of the LPRF and LWCF funds, 12 municipalities received grants.
Athens received $500,000 for renovations at Heritage Park will include architectural and engineering work, construction of a hard surface ADA walking trail that is approximately 1,100 feet long, demolition of an existing non-ADA youth baseball/softball field, and construction of a youth-size ADA field. The project also includes construction of ADA access and parking spaces to serve the entire park.
Cookeville received $450,000 to add 31.39 acres to Cane Creek Park and develop that property for use as a hard-surface a non-motorized trail; restroom facility; picnic shelter; access road; and parking area with ADA accessibility including parking, sidewalks and all structures. Also included will be general park amenities such as benches, trash receptacles, drinking fountains and picnic tables. Most of the construction and grading will be by city workers.
Cumberland Gap received $250,000 to acquire 1.4 acres in downtown Cumberland Gap for the first phase of development of the Cumberland Gap Commons, including constructing a parking lot, ADA spaces, an ADA boat ramp, bathrooms, and a walkway.
Dickson received $500,000 to repave and restripe an existing parking lot of approximately 40 spaces and create ADA-compliant parking spaces; build two tennis courts; build two basketball courts; provide a new playground with artificial turf safety surfacing; provide a restroom building; ADA access to the amenities; a pavilion; and provide ADA accessible sidewalks between all the features.
Friendsville received $245,000 for the development of a new park adjacent to city hall. The site plan for the new park encompasses several features, including a parking lot, ADA accessible parking and compliant access paths, a shade structure, and an ADA compliant restroom. Erwin received $500,000 for renovations at Fishery Park, including replacing existing playground equipment with modern playground equipment, adding a new splash pad and ADA access paths.
Hendersonville will receive $500,000 to address needs in the Systemwide Master Plan – artificial turf and LED lights on one soccer field at Drakes Creek Park and LED lights on the rugby field at Rugby Park. ADA improvements will allow access to the two fields.
Memphis received $500,000 for the construction of a splash pad at Audubon Park. Mt. Juliet received a $430,000 grant for the construction of a restroom building and playground at Hamilton Denson Park. Munford received $500,000 for the development of Veterans Plaza.

The LPRF program provides state funding for the purchase of land for parks, natural areas, greenways, and recreational facilities. LPRF funds also may be used for trail development and capital projects in parks, natural areas, and greenways. The LWCF program provides grants to states to administer to state and local governments for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. The grants require a 50% match.

Pre-Columbian Studies: From Collection to Research Program
Posted On October 13, 2017 | 09:32 am | by Dumbarton Oaks Archives | Permalink
Elizabeth Benson and James Mayo installing the Robert Woods Bliss Collection of Pre-Columbian Art, ca. 1963.
Although Pre-Columbian Studies at Dumbarton Oaks can be dated to 1963, it matured somewhat slowly as a program and became full-fledged only in 1970 with the appointment of its first fellow, Arthur Miller.
In December of 1963, curator Elizabeth P. Benson and director John S. Thacher opened the Robert Woods Bliss Collection of Pre-Columbian Art. The collection, formerly exhibited at the National Gallery of Art, was beautifully installed in a glass-walled pavilion designed by the architect Philip Johnson. In addition to the art collection, Robert Bliss had also given Dumbarton Oaks 2,400 books on Pre-Columbian art history, anthropology, and archaeology, and this library would provide the basis for the research program. In 1964, soon after the collection opened, Dumbarton Oaks appointed a Pre-Columbian Advisory Committee. Initially tasked with making recommendations on acquisitions for the collection, the Committee soon also came to advise on lecturers and conferences as well as on publications resulting from these events.
Central to this early period in the development of the Pre-Columbian Studies program at Dumbarton Oaks was Michael D. Coe, professor of anthropology at Yale and a noted Mayanist. In 1963, Coe authored the Handbook of the Robert Woods Bliss Collection of Pre-Columbian Art and, in 1964, he was appointed Advisor for Pre-Columbian Art at Dumbarton Oaks, a position he would hold through 1979. Coe also gave the first Pre-Columbian public lecture at Dumbarton Oaks. On February 7, 1964, he delivered a paper, "The Beginning of Mesoamerican Civilization," which would be the basis for a 1966 Dumbarton Oaks publication, An Early Stone Pectoral from Southeastern Mexico. This would be the first of a now 37-volume series of occasional papers in a series published by Dumbarton Oaks titled Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Art and Archaeology Studies.
Michael Coe also led the first Pre-Columbian symposium (then called a conference) in 1967. Titled the "Dumbarton Oaks Conference on the Olmec," the papers would be published by Dumbarton Oaks the following year in a volume edited by Elizabeth Benson. The Olmec civilization was of particular significance to Dumbarton Oaks, as one of the first pieces of Pre-Columbian art that Robert Bliss had acquired in 1912 was an Olmec jadeite carving, although at the time of its purchase it was not yet recognized as being Olmec in origin. In addition, scholarly understanding of the antiquity of the Olmec culture had recently profited from the advent of carbon-14 dating technology, which helped to date the Olmec civilization to early within Pre-Columbian history (ca. 1500–300 BC).
After the death of Mildred Bliss in 1969 and the appointment of a new director, William Royall Tyler, who served from 1969 to 1977, Pre-Columbian Studies at Dumbarton Oaks began to quickly evolve into a research program that was parallel, if smaller in scale, to the Byzantine Studies program. (The Garden and Landscape Studies program, then called Studies in Garden and Landscape Architecture, underwent a similar transformation at that time.) In 1970, the Robert Woods Bliss Fellowship in Pre-Columbian Studies was created, and the first fellowship was awarded to Arthur G. Miller. Miller worked for two years on a catalogue of the Teotihuacán mural fragments in Mexico, work that Dumbarton Oaks published as The Mural Painting of Teotihuacán in 1973. In 1971, the number of Bliss fellow appointments in Pre-Columbian Studies was increased to two with the appointment of the first doctoral candidate junior fellow, S. Jeffrey K. Wilkerson. In 1973, the program invited its first visiting scholar, Floyd G. Lounsbury. Summer fellowship appointments were first made in 1980.
The Pre-Columbian Studies program evolved in other ways as well. Although the program was initially grounded in the collection and the early publications and lectures were focused on Pre-Columbian art history, the research program quickly grew to be more inclusive of the varied disciplines that make up Pre-Columbian studies. Pre-Columbian history, anthropology, ethnography, and especially archaeology became important components of the studies program. This was due in large part to the next program director and curator, Elizabeth Hill Boone, and the noted archaeologist, Gordon R. Willey, who had served on the Board of Advisors since 1963 and would transition to the board of Senior Fellows in the 1970s. He was an influential chair of the senior fellows committee for over a decade between 1973 and 1986. During this period, the Pre-Columbian library also grew exponentially under the stewardship of librarian Bridget Gazzo and transitioned from a specialized art library to a world-class comprehensive collection. Since 1963, the Pre-Columbian library has since grown to more than 33,000 volumes.
In his oral history interview, former director of Pre-Columbian Studies, Jeffrey Quilter, emphasized the unique significance of the Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Studies program:
Pre-Columbian studies as a field or a discipline or area, realm, arena of discussion or interaction, really only exists at Dumbarton Oaks. So, by the very framing of the discourse as Pre-Columbian Studies, Dumbarton Oaks created a place and a space where art historians and field archaeologists and those who work in the early colonial period on documents and those who work in remote antiquity can all—not always all at the same time, but over the long haul, over years—have a place to meet, exchange views, and interact in ways that they often don't get to do, or at least get to do as easily, elsewhere.

Original report in Spanish from Cubadebate


This is a common insult targeting someone's differences. I hear it daily at my school, by people ignorant to the challenges autism presents.
Autism is not a joke. It's a reality. People who live with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a disability with which 3.5 million Americans live, range from very high-functioning to non-verbal and confined to their home. A person with Asperger's Syndrome, a part of the autism spectrum, is typically high-functioning, more observant and detail oriented.
Our society has grown to see "different" as bad, therefore "different" people are often excluded. But "different" can be amazing.
Autistic students should be more accepted into society, specifically school, because it will benefit the student as well a the community surrounding them.
My older brother, Cameron, has Asperger's Syndrome. He is kind and has his own lovable "quirks". When we go to the zoo, he teaches us what the zoo doesn't. I learned about the wingspan of an ostrich. I learned that lions only see in black and white. I learned to appreciate his presence and passion.
Cameron is also caring. When I am frustrated and masking my emotion, he will pick up on this and talk to me about my problem. Society needs people like my brother to influence their behavior.
Schools often decline admission to students with Asperger's. That label keeps them out–but lets the jokes in. By separating students, they don't learn how to interact with each other. Who's a better teacher, whether at the zoo, or at school, then Cameron?
My brother sometimes says, "When I'm not given the same chances as other people, I feel like I have something bad, that there is something wrong with me, and that people don't want to be around me." He applied to a number of schools in different countries. That label kept him out, and lets the jokes in. Cameron now lives in a boarding school 15,000 km away from his family.
"Because I'm not given the same chances, I need to prove myself to society, so that I can be accepted" he shared with me. His whole life, all he has wanted was to be accepted like everyone else. Cameron said to me "I wish I was able to have the chances other people have, who don't have autism, and don't need to live with it like I do." We should all want that.
How would you feel if you were a teenager, with differences, trying to fit in, but struggling to understand and follow social norms? How would you feel if you had grown up living differently and constantly needing to control all of your impulses? How would you feel if upon encountering the major life event of entering high school, different rules applied to you because you have ASD?
We exclude what we don't understand. Embrace people with autism and you just might learn something. This is my family, and this is not your joke.

Wow. This was such an eye-opening piece — thank you for writing about this and showing readers the other side of the story that we never think about or have to go through. Well done, this was super powerful!!
This piece really made a personal connection with me since I know your brother. I think your use of a personal anecdote really helped it along and made the message so much stronger. This is definitely a message more people need to hear and I think its great that you took it up! Great job!
Man! This is really amazing! This is super powerful and thank you for writing this piece to show others about other's different story.
Wow, Trevor, this was such a strong piece of writing. I love how you made your editorial personnel, it helps create a link with you and your reader. I really loved it and completely agree with the message you're sending! beautiful.
Thank you so much for sending your writing to me. It is a great piece of writing. Have you shared it with your brother as well? He will be so thrilled to know how much he means to you. You have opened lots of eyes to this dilemma especially in our community.
Thank you, really well done Trevor.
This is such a beautifully written piece with such an important message. I had the pleasure of listening to a speaker recently, who was born with cerebral palsy, and as a child, he initially attended a segregated school for children with physical disabilities. He said something that has stuck with me – he has a right to be disabled (his words). Those who are 'different' from the norm simply help make humanity more diverse; they should not have to always adjust to our norms, we should learn how to adjust for them because like you said, there is a lot we can learn by embracing diversity. This piece speaks loudly for those ideals. Well done Trevor.
You should be so proud of this piece and of the effort you put forth to make it so powerful. It has had an incredible impact on all who have read it…which means you have mastered the editorial. Nice work.
Your article gets me every time! Thank you for being an advocate for celebrating diversity and sharing your story. It is an important message for all to hear and be reminded again and again. Well done!

It all started in 2012, when two kids from Oklahoma had a crazy idea to get non-professional, professional athlete Brett Cue to X-games. They gained an immediate following, and what is now 365MX, was born. With Brett in the spotlight, Dayton Daft completes the symbiosis with his digital talents. The two are responsible for building the brand from the ground up, their love for the sport and most importantly love for the people involved keep them going strong. Since then, these guys have really made names for themselves, landing their efforts in almost every aspect of the sport.
The Christmas of 2011, Dayton received a Christmas present that would soon change his life. Even though it was far from the best video camera, it was all he needed to get started. After producing a few videos at some local races, he sent Brett a Facebook message, which also happened to be their first conversation. Later that month, the two went to a track in El Reno, Oklahoma and created their first video together. Even though the conditions were horrible and they only got to film for a couple hours, they had so much fun that round two couldn't come soon enough.
They both agreed they wanted more than a random collaboration of videos, they craved a mission to accomplish. For years, Brett had a far-fetched dream of riding in "X-Games Best Whip" competition. They put their heads together and decided to share this dream the best way they knew how, through a video series on Vimeo/YouTube.
At the time, Dayton was attending school to finish his senior year at the University of Colorado. Brett lived and worked full-time building swimming pools and doing concrete work in Oklahoma. They were operating with a near-zero time and financial budget, but managed to travel the country filming with guys like Kevin Windham, Twitch, Robbie Maddison and Guy Cooper.
With endless hours spent together on the road and long days filming, these two became best buds. They were both living their dreams and enjoying every minute. Although they didn't realize it at the time, they were making quite a name for themselves in the industry.
Brett was unfortunately not invited to X-Games in 2013, but still went to the Staples Center to watch. On Brett's drive back to Oklahoma, Dayton called with some exciting news. He got a call from an online retail company in the industry and they had offered him a job to produce videos and help build their new content team. It wasn't long before Dayton convinced the company to bring Brett on board as a Brand Ambassador. Through the 2+ years at MotoSport, the team worked on memorable projects, including TV commercials, web videos featuring legends of the sport, product videos and much more. During this time, Brett was able to test nearly every type of riding gear imaginable. No matter what gear he wore, he felt there were both positive and negative features in the look, performance or durability. After months of talking, deliberating and planning, Brett and Dayton decided they wanted to try their hand in yet another far-fetched dream, making their own riding gear. They quit their jobs to pursue 365MX full time.
Brett has always taken pride in looking good on the bike and having awesome gear is a major part of that. 365MX encompasses the team's constant adoration for the sport and the desire to always look and feel great while riding. Since 2014, 365MX gear has been in the making and tested by riders Brett Cue, Colt Nichols, Alyas Wardius, Kyle Peters and Chase Marquier.

Solange Knowles has a great relationship with the Afropunk community, often lending her talents to their several festivals around the world. Unfortunately, the "Cranes in the Sky" singer has been forced to cancel her epic gig in South Africa for New Year's Eve after doctors refused to clear her for the long flight and performance.
Knowles took to Instagram to share the news with her loyal fan base, telling them that she has recently been diagnosed with an autonomic disorder.
"I wrote, deleted and re wrote this like 5 times…Still not sure what exactly or how much I want to share…However it's so important to me for the people in South Africa, a place that has tremendous meaning to me and that has given me SO SO MUCH, to know why I won't be performing at Afro Punk this NYE."
"The past five months I have been quietly treating, and working through an Autonomic Disorder. It been a journey that hasn't been easy on me…Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all."
She continued, "It's a complicated diagnosis, and I'm still learning so much myself, but right now, my doctors are not clearing me for such an extended lengthy flight, and doing a rigorous show right after."
Similar to big sis Beyoncé canceling her Coachella gig because of her pregnancy, Solange has full intentions of making up for it by performing at next year's event.
"I can't put into words how saddened and sorry I am that I am unable to perform for you guys this NYE, there is simply no other place I wanted to be than there with my family to bring in 2018 with you…….but I give you my ABSOLUTE WORD I will come back with AfroPunk and deliver this performance…..as it is so extremely important to me to connect with the people who have so closely inspired me in so many ways."
Solange did not share what type of autonomic disorder she has, but people with it have trouble regulating heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and body temperature as the disorder is a dysfunction in the nervous system.
The disorders could also be the result of another disease, including Parkinson's, cancer, autoimmune diseases, alcohol abuse or diabetes, according to NYU Langone.
