Live video from Washington DC where scientists will unveil the minute hand on the metaphorical "Doomsday Clock"
Scientists behind a "Doomsday Clock" that measures the likelihood of a global cataclysm are set to announce whether civilization is any closer or further from disaster.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is expected to unveil the minute hand on the metaphorical clock in Washington, DC.
The clock reflects how vulnerable the world is to catastrophe from nuclear weapons, climate change and new technologies, according to the bulletin.
California Gov. Jerry Brown will join former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz and former US Secretary of Defense William Perry for a discussion at Stanford University after the unveiling.
The scientists behind the bulletin adjusted the clock from five minutes-to-midnight to three minutes-to-midnight last year, citing climate change, modernization of nuclear weapons and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals as "extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity."
The minute hand is assessed each year. It has also previously stayed the same and been adjusted in the opposite direction. Most recently in 2010, bulletin scientists cited nuclear talks between the U.S. and Russia and agreement to limit a rise in global temperature for a change from five minutes-to-midnight to six minutes-to-midnight.
This year's clock is expected to consider tensions between the United States and Russia and the recent North Korean nuclear test.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons. The clock was created two years later, with midnight symbolizing apocalypse.
The decision to move or leave the clock alone is made by the bulletin's science and security board, which includes physicists and environmental scientists from around the world, in consultation with the bulletin's Board of Sponsors, which includes 17 Nobel laureates.
The closest the clock has come to midnight was two minutes away in 1953, when the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb that followed a US hydrogen bomb test.
Is this the video CNN had ready for Doomsday?

Q: Problem with visualize second iteraration in radix sort I'm creating a Sorting Visualizer Project. Currently I'm working with a radix sort algorithm. I limited the height of my boxes (sorting items to help visualization) to a three-digit number. It means there are three iterations in radix sort (firstly we sort units place, then tens and hundreds). The problem arises when it comes to the second iteration. I console log the digit of the item in the current sorted array, and it matches its height, but the color may be completely different and have no idea why this is happening. Here is the code:
let sortingContainer = document.getElementById('sortingContainer')

const getDigit = (num, idx) => {
// Convert a number to string to know its length
let strNum = String(parseFloat(num.style.height))

let end = strNum.length - 1
let digit = strNum[end - idx]

if (digit === undefined) return '0'
return digit
}

const getDigitsNumber = (arr) => {
let largest = '0'

arr.forEach((num) => {
  let strNum = String(parseFloat(num.style.height))

  if (strNum.length > largest.length) {
    largest = strNum
  }
})

return largest.length
}

const changeBgColor = (item, digit) => {
  switch (digit) {
  case '0':
    item.style.background = 'crimson'
    break
  case '1':
    item.style.background = 'orange'
    break
  case '2':
    item.style.background = 'yellow'
    break
  case '3':
    item.style.background = 'green'
    break
  case '4':
    item.style.background = 'blue'
    break
  case '5':
    item.style.background = 'indigo'
    break
  case '6':
    item.style.background = 'brown'
    break
  case '7':
    item.style.background = 'turqoise'
    break
  case '8':
    item.style.background = 'gray'
    break
  case '9':
    item.style.background = 'black'
    break
  default:
    break
 }
}

const radixSort = async (arr) => {
  let maxDigits = getDigitsNumber(arr)

  for (let i = 0; i < maxDigits; i++) {
    let buckets = Array.from({ length: 10 }, () => [])
    for (let j = 0; j < arr.length; j++) {
      let digit = getDigit(arr[j], i)
      if (digit !== undefined) {
        buckets[digit].push(arr[j])
      }
    }

  arr = buckets.flat()

  // Update sorting container to change height of the items
  await new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      arr.forEach((item) => {
        // Categorize and change background color of the item based on its current digit
        let digit = getDigit(item, i)
        changeBgColor(item, digit)
        sortingContainer.appendChild(item)
      })

      resolve()
    }, 3000)
  })
}

// Once array is sorted (end of external for loop) change color of the items
await new Promise((resolve) => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    arr.forEach((item) => (item.style.background = 'limegreen'))
    resolve()
  }, 2000)
})

return arr
}

export default radixSort

Arr array is padded from main file (it's a reference to items inside sorting container).
Here is visualization.
First iteration is good

Then second is broken(blue, purple and green)

Interestingly, last iteration is correct (red items has the height < 100, orange items 100 < 200 and so on)

A: The problem was the color name. Instead of 'turqoise' it should've been 'turquoise'.

New Orleans higher education leaders react to Bobby Jindal's budget proposal

Higher education leaders in New Orleans agree that the $143 million cuts to state colleges and universities proposed by Gov. Bobby Jindal would hurt local schools. At the same time, they expressed relief that the proposed reductions are far less than the $300 million figure floated in recent weeks.
The state faces a $1.6 billion budget shortfall, and higher education is one of the areas most susceptible to cuts. But according to Jindal chief of staff Kyle Plotkin, the administration is trying to maintain existing funding levels for higher ed by scaling back spending on tax credits.
To further minimize the reductions, the governor proposed putting $30 million in hurricane relief funds toward the Workforce and Innovation for a Stronger Economy fund. The fund, one of Jindal's major initiatives in 2014, provides financing to train students for high-demand jobs.
Jindal also wants to steer $34 million to the TOPS scholarship program, which pays tuition for thousands of Louisiana residents to attend in-state colleges each year. And while the administration proposed raising student fees, Jindal said he intends to offer a tax credit to students and families who pay for them.
Joan Davis, president of Delgado Community College, said Delgado will not know the size of its 2014 appropriation until next week, when the Louisiana Community and Technical Community System will meet to discuss the proposed cuts.
"Any cuts are painful and cause us to have to consider how we'll be impacted," Davis said. "But I'm happy to hear they're not as big as everyone thought they might be."
University of Louisiana System President Sandra K. Woodley, in a statement, said UL System administrators are still digesting the options laid out in the governor's budget plan and examining ways that it might maintain current funding levels.
"We are encouraged by the administration's willingness to identify revenue options that could alleviate budget reductions to higher education," Woodley said. "This is the starting point of a long process of working with the administration and legislators, as most of the revenue proposals are contingent upon legislative action."
Monty Sullivan, president of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, said in a statement that he is encouraged by the options the budget proposal presented to minimize the impacts to higher education.
"I am optimistic that collectively the administration, the legislature, and the higher education leadership will find budget solutions that work for the citizens of Louisiana," he said.
University of New Orleans President Peter Fos was equally optimistic. In a phone interview Friday afternoon, he noted that Jindal has given the legislature the ability to further mitigate the cuts.
"His executive budget shows that he doesn't want higher education to receive any more cuts," he said.
Fos cautioned that the legislature might not be able to reduce the budget beyond the proposed $143 million amount. The Louisiana Board of Regents will meet early next week to determine what percentage of the proposed cuts will be allocated to UNO and other public institutions in the state.
In the coming months, Fos said, University of Louisiana System heads plan to work with local business leaders to help the legislature bring the cuts down to zero.

G20 summit in police state Hamburg, Germany
From the World Socialist Web Site in Germany:
G20 protest participants speak out against police crackdown
By our reporters
A major demonstration against the G20 summit took place in Hamburg Saturday as the leaders of the world's 20 major powers met just a few kilometres away. Around 60,000 people marched from Deichtorplatz near the central train station to Heiliggeistfeld. Following brutal police attacks against peaceful demonstrators, the issue of police violence dominated the demonstration.
Jesse and Cosvin reported on how aggressively the police had dealt with youth. The two school students are just 15 years old but have attended several demonstrations over recent days. "Yesterday, for example, we were at a peaceful 'youth against the G20' demonstration, which escalated due to the police because they beat us away with batons, claiming we were standing in the way," Jesse said. In his opinion, the violence was initiated chiefly by the police.
Cosvin agreed. At the demonstration, the police suddenly yelled, "Out of the way!" and then cleared the street. "They didn't even give the protesters a second to get out of the way, but started striking us immediately. I mean, people were pushing from behind so you can't retreat, and then they attack." Cosvin thought it was an unnecessary provocation that the police used water cannon at the youth demonstration. "It could have been avoided," the student said. "This is always portrayed differently on television," she added.
Jesse added that he could barely sleep over recent days due to the constant sound of police helicopters. Although they opposed the police violence and the constant presence of the security forces, they were not surprised by it.
Things were quite different for Gero. The self-employed IT specialist drove from Essen to take part in the protest in order to demonstrate against police violence. He took this decision spontaneously after seeing a video of the police assault on a protest camp at Entenwerder. He had stuck a piece of paper on a plastic lid on which he had expressed his outrage in large letters, "Hamburg police: escalate until there are deaths and injuries! Violation of the constitution!"
Gero was completely taken aback by the actions of the police. For 20 years, he had "supported police activities, thought they were right, and did not believe legends that they beat demonstrators." But then he had seen "how units stormed a field, where there were 11 tents, they must have been incredibly dangerous," he commented sarcastically. The police then deployed pepper spray against the camp's residents, without any provocation.
Gero was familiar with the ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court, which declared the camp, including the tents, to be legal. "If you think it's over, the police violated a ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court with the decision they made about the gathering."
The authoritarian actions of the police, which without any inhibitions totally violated the law, was also the main issue for a group of young people who wrote on their placard, "The police chiefs of [capitals of governments participating in the G20 summit] Istanbul, Riyadh and Moscow welcome their 'democratic' colleagues in Hamburg!"
Hamburg in fact currently resembles a city under siege. Twenty-nine thousand officers from all 16 states are present in the city, backed up by special forces units from other European countries. Anyone walking through the city centre on Saturday, even away from the protest route, found officers and police vehicles in almost every alley.
The police have also acquired equipment which is obviously designed for civil war-style conflict. Looking out of the demonstration into the side streets, one could see at some distance dozens of heavily-armoured police officers, masked and wearing balaclavas, and some wearing helmets. Water cannon and armoured vehicles were always at the ready. While tens of thousands of people followed the demonstration route, the city appeared like a ghost town beyond the police blockades. Not a single car drove in the side streets or those running parallel to the demonstration, and not even pedestrians were seen.
Shortly after the beginning of the demonstration, a line of police officers flanked the march on both sides. While families with children, young people and the elderly walked between them in a relaxed atmosphere, the police put on their balaclavas, and on one side even their helmets. Two, sometimes three, helicopters circled permanently over the procession, where people danced to music and laughed. The contrast between a peaceful demonstration and an omnipresent state power could hardly be greater.
For Eugen, a 75-year-old pensioner, the source of the violence was clear. On his sign, which he carried high in front of him in full view prior to the demonstration, he had written, "Those preparing violence are currently meeting in the exhibition centre." That was a reference to the summit participants, who are all responsible for "all of the misery, that exists and is growing continuously in this world," as he put it. He was "very fearful of a global war". He also blamed German policy, which has directly profited from the wars through massive arms exports.
Eugen, who formerly worked as a shipbuilder, sees the basic problem as capitalism. "One should not strive to tinker with capitalism" and seek small changes, but rather abolish it: "I don't care what it is called afterwards, but capitalism must be overcome."
But many banners expressed the hope of a united world; "peace" was one of the words most frequently visible. A common topic of discussion was that Africa, an entire continent, was entirely excluded from the G20 deliberations, which outraged many. Some hoped for a better world through closer cooperation in the United Nations. Cosvin, the 15-year-old student, appealed for a meeting of all nations, "A G194."
The enthusiastic participation of many students and youth was clear to see. Oliver, who travelled from Berlin to participate, thought this was a positive sign. The young teacher carried a sign reading, "Imagine you need asylum and nobody helps you!" His t-shirt declared, "Refugees welcome!"
He views the G20 as a "club for the elite," who are united on most questions: Europe remains a fortress, and the US also wants to protect itself against the flow of refugees from the south. "I worry about world peace," said Oliver. However, the real conflict is not currently going on between armies, he added, but rather in society. Whether world hunger or climate change, "those who bear the brunt are the people, and this war has been waged for a long time."
Asked what can be done now, Oliver said, "I am an optimist." One only needs to look at "how many young people are here. I think that is a big statement."
Despite cobbling together a unanimous resolution, the G20 summit was, by any measure, the most fractious meeting of major political leaders in the post-war period: here.

LEADING CLIMATE SCIENTISTS: 'WE HAVE A GLOBAL EMERGENCY.' MUST SLASH CO2 ASAP
Mar 22, 2016 by Casey Coates Danson
by Joe Romm CLIMATE PROGRESS
CREDIT: AP/DENNIS COOK
James Hansen and 18 leading climate experts have published a peer-reviewed version of their 2015 discussion paper on the dangers posed by unrestricted carbon pollution. The study adds to the growing body of evidence that the current global target or defense line embraced by the world — 2°C (3.6°F) total global warming — "could be dangerous" to humanity.
That 2°C warming should be avoided at all costs is not news to people who pay attention to climate science, though it may be news to people who only follow the popular media. The warning is, after all, very similar to the one found in an embarrassingly underreported report last year from 70 leading climate experts, who had been asked by the world's leading nations to review the adequacy of the 2°C target.
Specifically, the new Hansen et al study — titled "Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2 C global warming could be dangerous" — warns that even stabilizing at 2°C warming might well lead to devastating glacial melt, multimeter sea level rise and other related catastrophic impacts. The study is significant not just because it is peer-reviewed, but because the collective knowledge about climate science in general and glaciology in particular among the co-authors is quite impressive.
Besides sea level rise, rapid glacial ice melt has many potentially disastrous consequences, including a slowdown and eventual shutdown of the key North Atlantic Ocean circulation and, relatedly, an increase in super-extreme weather. Indeed, that slowdown appears to have begun, and, equally worrisome, it appears to be supercharging both precipitation, storm surge, and superstorms along the U.S. East Coast (like Sandy and Jonas), as explained here.
It must be noted, however, that the title of the peer-reviewed paper is decidedly weaker than the discussion paper's "Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2°C global warming is highly dangerous." The switch to "could be dangerous" is reminiscent of the switch (in the opposite direction) from the inaugural 1965 warning required for cigarette packages, "Caution: Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous to Your Health" to the 1969 required label "Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health."
And yes I'm using the analogy to suggest readers should not be sanguine about the risks we face at 2°C warning. Based on both observations and analysis, the science is clearly moving in the direction that 2°C warming is not "safe" for humanity. But as Hansen himself acknowledged Monday on the press call, the record we now have of accelerating ice loss in both Greenland and West Antarctica is "too short to infer accurately" whether the current exponential trend will continue through the rest of the century.
Hansen himself explains the paper's key conclusions and the science underlying them in a new video:
The fact that 2°C total warming is extremely likely to lock us in to sea level rise of 10 feet or more has been obvious for a while now. The National Science Foundation (NSF) itself issued a news release back in 2012 with the large-type headline, "Global Sea Level Likely to Rise as Much as 70 Feet in Future Generations." The lead author explained, "The natural state of the Earth with present carbon dioxide levels is one with sea levels about 70 feet higher than now." Heck, a 2009 paper in Science found the same thing.
What has changed is our understanding of just how fast sea levels could rise. In 2014 and 2015, a number of major studies revealed that large parts of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are unstable and headed toward irreversible collapse — and some parts may have already passed the point of no return. Another 2015 study found that global sea level rise since 1990 has been speeding up even faster than we knew.
The key question is how fast sea levels can rise this century and beyond. In my piece last year on Hansen's discussion draft, I examined the reasons the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and scientific community have historically low-balled the plausible worst-case for possible sea level rise by 2100. I won't repeat that all here.
The crux of the Hansen et al. forecast can be found in this chart on ice loss from the world's biggest ice sheet:
Antarctic ice mass change from GRACE satallite data (red) and surface mass balance method (MBM, blue). Via Hansen et al.
Hansen et al. ask the question: if the ice loss continues growing exponentially how much ice loss (and hence how much sea level rise) will there be by century's end? If, for instance, the ice loss rate doubles every 10 years for the rest of the century (light green), then we would see multi-meter sea level rise before 2100? On the other hand, it is pretty clear just from looking at the chart that there isn't enough data to make a certain projection for the next eight decades.
The authors write, "our conclusions suggest that a target of limiting global warming to 2°C … does not provide safety." On the one hand, they note, "we cannot be certain that multi-meter sea level rise will occur if we allow global warming of 2 C." But, on the other hand, they point out:
There is a possibility, a real danger, that we will hand young people and future generations a climate system that is practically out of their control.
We conclude that the message our climate science delivers to society, policymakers, and the public alike is this: we have a global emergency. Fossil fuel CO2 emissions should be reduced as rapidly as practical.
I have talked to many climate scientists who quibble with specific elements of this paper, in particular whether the kind of continued acceleration of ice sheet loss is physically plausible. But I don't find any who disagree with the bold-faced conclusions.
Since there are a growing number of experts who consider that 10 feet of sea level rise this century is a possibility, it would be unwise to ignore the warning. That said, on our current emissions path we already appear to be headed toward the ballpark of four to six feet of sea level rise in 2100 — with seas rising up to one foot per decade after that. That should be more than enough of a "beyond adaptation" catastrophe to warrant strong action ASAP.
The world needs to understand the plausible worst-case scenario for climate change by 2100 and beyond — something that the media and the IPCC have failed to deliver. And the world needs to understand the "business as usual" set of multiple catastrophic dangers of 4°C if we don't reverse course now. And the world needs to understand the dangers of even 2°C warming.
So kudos to all of these scientists for ringing the alarm bell: James Hansen, Makiko Sato, Paul Hearty, Reto Ruedy, Maxwell Kelley, Valerie Masson-Delmotte, Gary Russell, George Tselioudis, Junji Cao, Eric Rignot, Isabella Velicogna, Blair Tormey, Bailey Donovan, Evgeniya Kandiano, Karina von Schuckmann, Pushker Kharecha, Allegra N. Legrande, Michael Bauer, and Kwok-Wai Lo.

Алекса́ндр Гео́ргиевич Зна́менский (1861 — после 1930) — настоятель Георгиевского собора в Юрьеве-Польском, член III Государственной думы от Владимирской губернии.

Биография
Происходил, по-видимому, как и большинство священников синодального периода, из духовного сословия.

В 1882 году окончил Владимирскую духовную семинарию первым учеником на курсе и был назначен к поступлению в Московскую духовную академию, которую окончил в 1886 году со степенью кандидата богословия.

В 1887 году был рукоположен в священники к Благовещенскому собору в городе Киржаче, а в 1889 году определен настоятелем собора в городе Юрьеве-Польском с возведением в сан протоиерея. Имел 38 десятин церковной земли.

Состоял благочинным церквей Юрьевского округа (с 1892), председателем уездного отделения епархиального училищного совета, членом уездного училищного совета, депутатом от духовенства в Юрьевской городской думе и уездном земском собрании, а также законоучителем Юрьев-Польского реального училища.

В 1895 году основал в Юрьеве-Польском общество трезвости, а в 1905 году, по его инициативе и на собранные им средства, с пособием от монарха (32000 рублей) построен был трехпрестольный Троицкий собор, так как старый собор уже не вмещал всех прихожан и нуждался в реставрации. Знаменский добился переноса в Троицкий храм престолов из пристроек Георгиевского собора.

В 1907 году был избран членом III Государственной думы от Владимирской губернии. Входил во фракцию умеренно-правых, с 3-й сессии — в русскую национальную фракцию. Состоял товарищем председателя комиссии по делам православной церкви, а также членом комиссий: по вероисповедным вопросам, по местному самоуправлению и бюджетной.

20 сентября 1911 года отказался от звания члена ГД и продолжил службу в Георгиевском соборе. К Пасхе 1919 года был награждён крестом с украшениями.

В 1920-е годы стал одним из лидеров обновленчества во Владимирской губернии. Современник вспоминал:

В моей памяти первым, возмутившим меня тогда шагом падения нашего авторитета в глазах народа, в начале революции, при Керенском, было поскидование с себя священнических крестов на нужды войны с Германией. Сошлись тогда выборные от каждого благочиния епархии умные головы, отцы протоиереи и иереи на общеепархиальный съезд. Заправлял, вероятно, тогда им кто-нибудь из двоих известных ныне в обновленческой церкви руководителей, или Юрьевский протоиерей Знаменский, или же, теперь епископ Струнинской фабрики, протоиерей Алексий Рождественский.

В 1930 году на секретном заседании президиума Юрьев-Польского райисполкома по раскулачиванию части населения было решено: «дополнительно муниципализировать (то есть отнять у владельца) жилой дом с двумя сараями бывшего протоиерея Георгиевского собора, бывшего члена Государственной думы и Святейшего Синода Знаменского А. В.».

Дальнейшая судьба неизвестна. Был женат.

Джон Уистлер (; 1756—1829) — американский военнослужащий.

Биография
Родился около 1756 года в Ольстере, Ирландия.

В подростковом возрасте сбежал из дома и поступил на службу в британскую армию. При британском генерале Джоне Бергойне участвовал в войне за независимость США. После битвы при Саратоге вернулся в Англию и уволился с военной службы. Познакомившись с девушкой Анной — дочерью сэра Эдварда Бишопа (Edward Bishop), друга его отца, сбежал эмигрировал с ней в Соединенные Штаты, обосновались в Хейгерстауне, штат Мэриленд.

Вскоре по прибытии в США, Джон вступил в армию Соединенных Штатов и был отправлен служить на западную границу. Участвовал в кампании Хармара в 1790 году, был тяжело ранен при разгроме Сент-Клера в 1791 году. Дослужился до звания лейтенанта в Легионе Соединенных Штатов, участвовал в сооружении американского форта — Форт-Уэйн. Последовательно командовал фортами St. Mary's, Fort Wayne и Fort Dearborn.

1 июля 1797 года Джон Уистлер был произведен в капитаны и переведен в  в Детройте, штат Мичиган. Летом 1803 года был отправлен со своей ротой 1-го пехотного полка на озеро Мичиган, где до конца года завершил строительство Fort Dearborn на месте будущего города Чикаго. Стал первым комендантом этого форта.

В 1810 году капитан Джон Уистлер был отозван в Детройт. Во время Англо-американской войны он был назначен майором и служил до конца войны в 1815 году. После войны он был назначен военным кладовщиком в Ньюпорт, штат Кентукки. В 1816 году его отправили в Форт-Уэйн, и Уистлер продолжил его строительство. В 1817 году переехал в , штат Миссури, где снова стал военным кладовщиком в , расположенных близ Сент-Луиса. Эту должность Джон Уистлер занимал до своей смерти в  3 сентября 1829 года.

В честь Джона Уистлера названа начальная школа в Чикаго, штат Иллинойс.

The unsung heroes behind the stunning photos you see in magazines, ad campaigns, and coffee table books are "stylists," a legion of artisans that are essentially set designers for photo shoots. Helen Quinn is a brilliant stylist, but she has so many, many other talents that it is hard to accept the term "stylist" as being altogether fitting.
I've known Helen since we were both Freshman at the Rhode Island School of Design. Helen received a degree in Textiles, and she has spent time working in that world, teaching at Parsons, working for Martha Stewart, and styling shoots for other brands and magazines. Below is some of the eye candy that Helen is known for in the print world.
The above images were from MARTHA STEWART LIVING, shot by Simon Watson. As an event planner and a designer, I am especially drawn to these stunning food displays. I tore them out of the magazine at the time for personal inspiration, not realizing that Helen had created them!
The gorgeous images above were photographed by Yunhee Kim.
Recently I was excited to stumble across the below stop/action film that Helen had created for Martha Stewart, and was surprised at this new twist in the road of her work. Helen was kind enough to sit down and chat with me about her art.
David Stark: You are one of the most talented people that I know and are so good at so many things – from styling photo shoots for magazines, catalogues, and print campaigns to your amazing textile designs, even teaching! How did you first get into creating the stop action films that you have been making recently?
Helen Quinn: Thank you! I love the variety of creative challenges that free-lance work offers - different contexts and different constraints depending on the project. For example, a few years ago I had the chance to design a collection of women's sportswear for Nike/Maharam and then last Winter I organized a dinner in a cranberry bog in Rockefeller Center for Martha Stewart. So when Martha TV asked me to do the stop motions for this year's Easter special, I jumped at the chance. I have made hand-drawn animations for my artwork in the past so I was really excited to collaborate with a professional photographer for this assignment. Now I hope to do more with other clients and friends. It is such a great medium- combining old and new at the same time- and it is perfect for displaying on contemporary media such as the iPad and e-books.
DS: What kind of connection do you see between making these "films" and the two/three dimensional art that you also make?
HQ: The common thread is a fascination with movement. After graduate school (Cranbrook 2000) I was making kinetic sculptures and gouache drawings. These were investigations into the beauty and magic of movement and the elusive presence of grace.
Over the past several years I have been animating the drawings, breathing primitive life into them using a Super 8 or digital still camera, photographing frame by frame. The work is pretty rough technically, but was good practice for the more commercial stop motions I have been doing lately.
DS: Where do you get your inspiration from?
HQ: Libraries. You can often find me at the Picture Collection on 40th Street at the Mid-Manhattan Branch. I know they have images on-line but it just isn't the same as going through the folders. My favorites are photos of antique toys, fair rides, mechanical orchestras, and alchemical images.
Last year I wanted to look at illuminated manuscripts, so I spent a wonderful afternoon at the Pierpont Morgan Library looking at thousand-year-old books. I can really relate to the monks who illustrated those texts - obsessive perfectionists with wacky perspective.
DS: As a person that majored in Painting in college, I am always fascinated with my colleagues who get on the artistic train at a certain point, and find themselves in a totally different place years later. Did you ever imagine you would be doing what you do today?
HQ: I am not so surprised. If I am photo styling or teaching or making a quilt or designing a line of paint colors, I am using many of the same skills I learned in my fine art and textile training in undergrad. These include considerations of composition, color, and content as well as common sense skills of managing budget, working efficiently, and being decisive.
DS: When you are making your work, what do you think about?
HQ: When preparing to make a series of drawing or an animation, for example, I compile a ton of different sources (hence the library) and put a myriad of images on the wall. These images can be from different countries and different time periods and can be anything from a font to a wig diagram to a piece of fabric. Once I have a direction, I make a color palette and a storyboard of some kind. Then the work starts to flow, and the images and ideas get swirled around. Once I am really in it, I can't tell if I am thinking about anything at all because I go so far into the right brain that I never know what time it is, even forgetting to eat.
DS: If budget and time were not an issue, what would the dream project be that you would love to plunge into?
HQ: The Tiffany windows! I am just dying to do the Tiffany windows. Gene Moore was the genius there for many years and I met him once when I was a very young designer in New York. He was older, southern, and charming. I can see so vividly what I would do: modern tableaux with motors. For example, a sparkly diamond could rotate on a thin wire with videos projected on paper screens from the back. And sound! Amplifying the motors and maybe some tiny bells clanging in real time. It would be very Calder's Circus but kind of slick.
DS: It seems to me that the work you do as a stylist is very, very different from the stop action films. What do you see as the main difference in the work?
HQ: Speed is the main difference. Prop styling for print or Internet is time-consuming, and everything has to be perfect. Things are tweaked over and over, moving this vase a ¼" left or right and back again. If you make a mistake in composition, it can be corrected. With the stop-motion animations I have been working on, you really only have one take and you have to work very quickly even though it is tedious. I have been getting one minute's worth of video for one day's worth of work. So if there is a mistake, I have had to be very flexible and try to incorporate it into the sequence. I can't say I have been calm about it since the pressure is really on, but I am learning a lot.
DS: What is the most interesting job you have ever had?
HQ: For two years in my twenties, I sewed for the sculptor Louise Bourgeois. It was just the two of us every Saturday morning at her brownstone in Chelsea. I would lug my sewing machine there from Brooklyn in a cart. We did some sewing but mostly we ate ice cream (Haagen-Dazs Macadamia Nut Crunch) and talked about color. What a strange gift that was for me - I didn't even realize it at the time.
Helen Quinn is currently working on print campaigns for Target, Macy's, and Pottery Barn as well as a music video for an upcoming CD. She is lives in Jackson Heights, Queens with her husband David Crandall, an architect and Professor at Parsons, and their two kids.
Awesome interview! She's very inspiring.

While being compared to artists like Drake and No Cap, in the genre of Hip-hop and R&B Mike looks to take his melodic sound to take the world by storm. Upcoming work with producers like Dj Chose and Stoney Sound will make sure of that. Looking to set ablaze in 2022 with new works, and content for his supporters. Even a "classic" studio album is in the works for the end of 2022.
What else can you expect from Mike Atlas? "A whole lot of classics and consistency, I've proven myself to the ones that matter already, but I'm ready to show the world who the next top dawg is."
Mike enjoys the journey of artistry and the root of his music is for "pure intentions only". He looks to inspire many people with his works, also hopes to reach every demographic possible. Eventually, the future for Mike Atlas, in his eyes, is him becoming a mentor to younger artists looking to make their mark for the future generations to come.
