{November 20, 2009} 2010: The Year of Cataloging Research
I know it's barely Thanksgiving, but time is going by so fast that it feels like it's practically 2010 already. It's going to be here before we know it.
According to the current issue of Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 2010 has been dubbed "The Year of Cataloging Research." I'd heard rumors of this at ALA, but forgot about it until I saw it mentioned again yesterday.
Oddly enough, yesterday was also the day I met with our head of institutional research to discuss surveying library users about findability of materials in the library. Coincidence?
Remember the proposal I submitted for library reclassification? I got a green light to proceed, and it specifically included assessment as one of the first steps. We're working on designing a short survey for faculty and students about how easy or hard it is for them to find books, DVDs, magazines, and other research materials in the libraries. If all goes according to plan, the survey will be distributed to faculty in late January 2010, and will appear to students via the online student portal in mid-February.
I'm so excited! I can hardly wait to see the responses. I have gut instincts and observational experiences that color my expectations of the results. But like Carlyle says in her editorial, "we need to have real evidence for the claims we want to make." I'm so very interested to see what our library users really think, instead of just doing my best to made educated guesses from experience and observation.
Is it really just coincidence that we're going to be starting off 2010 with some cataloging research of our own? Well, probably. But I'm gonna milk it anyway, for all it's worth.

Really? Really?
Do people really associate "beauty operators" with hair stylists and beauticians? Because the general impression around here of "beauty operators" is a row of telephone receptionists, waiting to take your call and answer your pressing emergency beauty questions. Beauty operators are standing by…

{November 14, 2009} putting the trees back in the forest
So I finally joined ARLIS, which I know seems strange that it took me this long to join the organization devoted to arts libraries. It's not that I didn't want to join before, because I did. It honestly sometimes just comes down to a matter of money. I started joining professional organizations when I was a student, and I personally find them very beneficial. It's cheap to join as a student, but the membership fees often drastically increase after graduation. I don't fault the organizations for this, and I don't think any of their individual fees are outrageous, but by the time you're joining 3 or 4 organizations, it can get pretty pricey.
I've tried to cull the herd and cut some of my memberships, but I find it very difficult. I don't want to leave ALA, as I feel it's the "core" organization of the field. With ALA comes ALCTS and LITA. I'm hesitant to leave SLA (although the debate about the realignment and name change may just drive me away), not only because the specialty library focus ties in so closely with our library and what we do, but also because they invested in me when I was a student, and I still feel I owe it to the chapter and the organization to make good on that investment. I was considering dropping SAA, since I don't currently work as closely with archival materials as I used to, but then they published my paper in their journal, and I'd feel bad leaving so soon after that. So I've got those three, plus their subdivisions and local counterparts, plus now ARLIS, and I still think ASIS&T would be worth the membership if I could afford it. By this point, we're talking hundreds, if not $1,000+ per year for professional organization memberships alone.
But I finally ponied up the dough to join ARLIS, since I've been wanting to attend one of their conferences for a while and though 2010 might be a good year to do so. And I'm really glad I joined–it really does seem to cover the niche area I want to work in. I got several friendly and welcoming emails, including one that alluded to a local discussion group specifically for catalogers in the arts! I know must know how excited that made me–how awesome to find a group of people like me, and even better, their next meeting was coming right up, so I was chomping at the bit to attend.
I wish I hadn't gotten so worked up. Don't get me wrong–it was a nice meeting, with a lot of nice people, and well-educated catalogers, which was a nice step up from some meetings I've been to. Unfortunately, I missed the introductions, so I'm not sure exactly which and what kinds of libraries everyone was representing, which was dissapointing becuase I feel that's so intrinsic to cataloging work–what type of library are you, who do you serve as your patrons, what types of materials do you collect? I know quite a few attendees came from art museum libraries, which are going to have very different research needs than art schools. What I didn't understand was how no one else seemed to understand that.
I felt a very strong presumption in the room about Cataloging Rules and How Things Should Be Done, and not very much about users at all. Most of the agenda covered what I consider to be very niggly little bits of cataloging propriety: is the entry in this 1XX field correct, is "$vCatalogs" being used correctly in this record, should this piece of ephemera be described as "1 sheet, folded" or "1 folded sheet"? I know I'm probably going to get flayed for this, but really, people: who the hell cares? Software, if designed properly, makes all those issues irrelevant. Google's search algorithms will find your folded sheet either way, and probably even if you call it "folded paper," too.
I was shocked at the apparent prejudice–while discussing whether or not a "cheat sheet" for cataloging exhibition brochures was correct (see above re: niggly minutiae), many people were asking "why would anyone bother to collect those things anyway?" and similar narrow-minded comments. Perhaps that institution has the largest art ephemera collection in the world. Perhaps those materials are in great demand in that geographic area. Perhaps the brochures are used as examples for graphic design classes or instruction in art exhibition design. Who knows? None of those catalogers, because they didn't even bother to ask before ripping into not just the proper application of MARC and AACR2r on the cheat sheet, but also the reason for the collection itself.
There was so much narrow focus on minutia that it seemed like the considerations of library users didn't even exist. One woman from an art museum brought up a dispute with a classification number assigned by the Library of Congress to a book about 4 artists. LC classed it in ND237.O5, evidently specifically under Georgia O'Keeffe, but she felt LC was incorrect and a broader classification would be more appropriate. After spending a lot of time hemming and hawing and discussing why LC had classed it that way, based on the rule of three and classing on the first listed subject heading, and how it was biased for LC to class it only under O'Keeffe since she was the most famous, and how this woman had seen the exhibition herself and it was beautiful, and how the book might be classed under women artists, and why the book shouldn't be classed under women artists because it's not specifically feminist enough, about how the book might be classed under American painting, but the book wasn't all painting, there was one piece of sculpture included… it was all I could do to bite my tongue to keep from shouting: "If you don't like it, just change it!" (Someone alert the classification police, because we do it here all the time. I changed the classification numbers on no less than 10 titles this morning alone.) Especially since the women's primary complaint was that her museum curator would "not understand why the book was classed there" and would be unable to find it! I think books should go where your users will find them, most especially in arts libraries, where established research repeatedly shows a preference for browsing access over searching.
As if that wasn't enough for me to bite through my tongue, another cataloger actually said that "classification is nothing more than an address" and "not to fret over the call number." I wish I knew which library she worked for. I'm sure this is a fine model for more research-oriented libraries like perhaps the Getty or LACMA. But as a group of not just catalogers, but catalogers serving arts libraries, I was appalled at the lack of understanding of patrons' information-seeking behavior. These people are so busy counting the knotholes in the trees, not only do they not see the forest–they've forgotten the forest even exists.
It was my first meeting, and as a newbie and relative unknown, I wasn't quite ready to vocalize my thoughts and make waves. (You might not guess it from my outspoken rants on this blog, but I'm actually fairly introverted and shy.) I'm still glad I went–I saw a few more potential rogues in the woods, and the meeting really opened my eyes in a lot of ways to just how entrenched we are in our methods of cataloging, how much momentum the history of cataloging carries, how hard it just might be to switch to a user-based model of cataloging. It's going to be an uphill struggle, that's for sure.
And now that I know what the general tenor of the group is like, I feel better about starting to broach the idea to the group slowly, perhaps with an announcement at the next meeting in February about my forthcoming book chapter about cataloging for art school users. It also makes me wonder if maybe the time isn't right to pitch a session on user-based arts cataloging to ARLIS…but one thing at a time. Sometimes I have the problem of seeing just a little too much forest and not enough trees!

{November 7, 2009} Hot LCSH of the day
Just encountered the subject heading "Hot Spots (Political science)," which, being a fashion and design library and all, we don't see much of around here.
I asked a co-worker what she thought and she said "So it's used for books all about the bars, restaurants, and nightclubs frequented by politicians?"
Sadly, it's actually "works on areas of civil, military, or political tension that sometimes flare up into major conflicts." Bummer. I think her definition is way better.

{November 6, 2009} heh.
I love the fact that ever since I posted an example from the table of contents from an art book listing painters and specific paintings that I thought people would look for, I've been getting hits to my blog from those search terms.
Dear keyword interweb searchers: thank you for helping to prove my point!

{November 3, 2009} time marches on, into the table of contents
Well, it's been a busy (and therefore blog-post-less month) due to our former head librarian heading off for a new start in a new state. Despite the exciting possibilities of change, I was truly sad to see her leave, so I've been a bit lax to post.
But the other day I found not one, but TWO awesome records that totally brightened my day and cheered me right up!
The first was for Discovering the Great Masters: The Art Lover's Guide to Understanding Symbols in Paintings. Not only is this an amazing book, with quality large-scale reproductions of some of western art's most famous paintings, check out the table of contents in the bib record:
505 00 $t The last judgement / $r Giotto di Bondone — $t Secrets of the animal world — $t The adoration of the Magi / $r Gentile da Fabriano — $t The Arnolfini portrait / $r Jan van Eyck — $t The Ghent altarpiece / $r Jan van Eyck — $t The Chancellor Rolin Madonna / $r Jan van Eyck — $t The annunciaton / $r Rogier van der Weyden — $t The deposition from the cross / $r Rogier van der Weyden — $t Christ mocked / $r Fran Angelico — $t The triumph of Federico da Montefeltro / $r Piero Della Francesca — $t Portinari altarpiece / $r Hugo van der Goes — $t St. Jerome in his stuidy / $r Domenico Ghirlandaio — $t The adoration of the Magi / $r Leonardo da Vinci — $t La primavera (spring) / $r Sandro Botticelli — $t Marriage of the virgin / $r Pietro Perugino — $t Virgin and child enthroned with Saints / $r Giovanni Bellini — $t The birth of Venus / $r Sandro Botticelli — $t Madonna della Vittoria / $r Andrea Mantegna — $t Pallas Athena expelling the vices / $r Andrea Mantegna — $t The last supper / $r Leonardo da Vinci — $t Mona Lisa / $r Leonardo da Vinci — $t Doni tondo / $r Michelangelo — $t The garden of earthly delights / $r Hieronymus Bosch — $t The Madonna of the meadow / $r Raphael — $t The school of Athens / $r Raphael — $t Mars and Venus / $r Piero di Cosimo — $t The three philosophers / $r Giorgione — $t The adoration of the trinity / $r Albrecht Durer — $t The Isenheim altarpiece / $r Matthias Grünewald — $t A banker and his wife / $r Quinten Metsys — $t Bacchanal of the andrians / $r Titian — $t The last judgment / $r Michelangelo — $t The enigmas of architecture — $t Madonna and child / $r Joos van Cleve — $t The French ambassadors / $r Hans Holbein the younger — $t A Christian Allegory / $r Jan Provost — $t Decoding flowers and fruit — $t Allegory of immortality / $r Giulio Romano — $t St. Luke painting the virgin / $r Maerten van Heemskerck — $t Fight between carnival and lent / $r Pieter Bruegel the elder — $t Allegory of vanity / $r Jan van der Straet (Johannes Stradanus) — $t Burial of the Count of Orgaz / $r El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos) — $t Feast in the house of Levi / $r Paolo Caliari called Veronese — $t The calling of St. Matthew / $r Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi) — $t Apelles paints campaspe / $r Joos van Winghe — $t Allegory of sight / $r Jan Breughel the elder and Peter Paul Rubens — $t Minerva's victory over ignorance / $r Bartholomaeus Spranger — $t The education of Marie de' Medici / $r Peter Paul Rubens — $t The artist's studio / $r Jan Miense Molenaer — $t Time vanquished by hope and beauty / $r Simon Vouet — $t Fortitude brings peace and plenty / $r Eustache le Suerur — $t The consequences of war / $r Peter Paul Rubens — $t Eucharist in fruit wreath / $r Jan Davidsz. de Heem — $t Vanitas (self portrait) / $r David Bailly — $t The banquet of the bean king / $r Jacob Jordaens — $t The spinners (the fable of Arachne) / $r Diego Velázquez — $t In luxury, look out / $r Jan Steen — $t The gathering of manna / $r Nicolas Poussin — $t In Ictu Oculi (in the twinkling of and eye) / $r Juan de Valdés Leal — $t Las Meninas / $r Diego Velázquez — $t The art of painting / $r Johannes Vermeer — $t The secret language of myth — $t The spell / $r Francisco de Goya — $t Liberty leading the people / $r Eugene Delacroix — $t The apotheosis of Homer / $r Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres — $t Jupiter and Semele / $r Gustave Moreau.
Is that not the coolest thing you've ever seen? (Well, if you're a cataloging librarian at an art school where students are looking for particular works, like, say, the Mona Lisa, rather than having to flip through multitudes of art books about Leonardo da Vinci to see if they might include an image?) Now granted, this wasn't benevolent on the part of the British Library or a helpful arts library cataloger adding this in–this is a direct transcription from the table of contents, as the 505 should be. But still! It's amazingly helpful in our library environment, and I would love to see this sort of enhancement done for more art books, regardless of whether it's a direct TOC transcription or not.
And if I wasn't swoony enough over discovering that record, a few books down the pile later I encountered Ad Boy: Vintage Advertising With Character, which had the following 505:
505 0_ Ad boys — Ad girls — Ad kids — Alphabet — Anthropomorphism — Bees — Birds — Bugs — Burgers — Candy — Casinos — Cats & dogs — Cereal — Cleansers — Coffee shops — Cookies county fairs — Cowboys — Cows — Crate labels — Dairy — Desserts — Devils — Donuts — Elephants — Energy — Farm — Flower power — Frosty treats — Happy hour — Holidays — Home — Hot dogs — Indian maidens — Mechanical men — Monsters — Misters — Motoring — Muscle cars — Nasties — Nemesis — Not-so-super heroes — Orange drinks — Pigs & pork — Pop corn — Potatoes — Potato chips — Power — Public service — Puppets — Restaurants — Royalty — Scottish plaid — Sea creatures — Slogans — Snacks — Snowmen — Soft drinks — Space adventure — Supermarket savings stamps — Toys — Travel — Travel (across the U.S.A.) — Vote.
Again, transcribed directly from the book's table of contents by LC, but so helpful for our students, who are more inclined to search for items by these sorts of concepts and keywords. Props to the book's editors for organizing, arranging and describing the book in such a fashion–it seems to me like they truly know their audience and readers.
I would love to see more enhancements like this in records for arts libraries. I can see where non-arts libraries might not want such keyword clutter in their records, as it might provide false or incorrect retrieval leads for their patrons. But the enhanced data could easily be included in a field that needn't be displayed or indexed by other libraries, but could still be shared with any library that wanted to utilize it.
Just when I was getting down about something, here came these great records that cheered me up and made me smile. A big thanks to the diligent and kind souls out there at the British Library and the Library of Congress who created them, even if they were just following proscribed standards. You guys made my day, whoever you are.

So Breaking Bad is back tonight. I am having mixed feelings because I obviously wanna see what's going to happen but I am so sad that it is the last season. Anyways here's my Breaking Bad inspired look.
My boyfriend got me this shirt at Hot Topic actually, It was a regular shirt and I turned it into a tank top. My skirt is from Forever 21 and I got it at a thrift store so I don't know if there's any chance you'll be able to find it at the stores now a days but I can always find affordable clothes there such as basic pieces like this one. Plus here's a similar one. The golden chain neckless is from H&M and I can't get enough of wearing it, which by the way in case you didn't know they finally launched their online store in the US! So.. My shoes are from Necessary Clothing and my blazer is from Pull and Bear. Anyways, I hope you're watching the show tonight!
That skirt is soo nice :) I love it!
I'm now following you on bloglovin..

Braun, Georg & Hogenberg, Franz
Toninga Eiderstadiae
Published: G. Braun & F. Hogenberg	, Cologne
Type: Antique Map, map
Technique: Copper engraving / later handcolor
Category: Toningen Eiderstadt - Husum
Size: 364 by 397mm (14 by 15 inches).
Condition: In very good to excellent condition. A minor skillfully mending near the lower centre fold. 364 by 397mm (14 by 15 inches).
Original copper-engraving, hand colored in wash, published 1598 in volume V in the town book 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum' by Braun and Hogenberg. The entire series of the 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum' comprised six volumes and was published and printed from 1572 towards 1619. Two panoramic city views on one double page. At the top we have a view across the river Eider towards Toningen in Friesland. The town is shown pretty detailed with its royal castle, the market place and the town houses. At the bottom we find a view of the city of Husum with sailing ships in the foreground. The town is shown with the royal castle, the church and its town houses. This view was published 1598 in volume V of Braun and Hogenberg's 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum'. Georg Braun (also Brunus, Bruin; 1541 – 10 March 1622) was a topo-geographer. From 1572 to 1617 he edited the Civitates orbis terrarum, which contains 546 prospects, bird's-eye views and maps of cities from all around the world. He was the principal editor of the work, he acquired the tables, hired the artists, and wrote the texts. He died as an octogenarian in 1622, as the only survivor of the original team to witness the publication of volume VI in 1617. Braun was born and died in Cologne. His principal profession was as a Catholic cleric. However, he spent thirty-seven years as canon and dean at the church, St. Maria ad Gradus, in Cologne. His six-volume work was inspired by Sebastian Münster's Cosmographia. In form and layout it resembles the 1570 Theatrum orbis terrarum by Abraham Ortelius, as Ortelius was interested in a complementary companion for the Theatrum. The Braun publication set new standards in cartography for over 100 years. Frans Hogenberg (1535–1590, from Mechelen) created the tables for volumes I through IV, and Simon van den Neuwel created those for volumes V and VI. Other contributors were Joris Hoefnagel, Jacob Hoefnagel, cartographer Daniel Freese, and Heinrich Rantzau. Works by Jacob van Deventer, Sebastian Münster, and Johannes Stumpf were also used. Primarily European cities are depicted in the publication; however, Cairo Casablanca and Mexico City as well as Cuzco on one sheet are also included in volume I, whereas Tunis is featured in volume II. Frans Hogenberg (1535–1590) was a Flemish and German painter, engraver, and mapmaker. Hogenberg was born in Mechelen in Flanders as the son of Nicolaas Hogenberg. In 1568 he was banned from Antwerp by the Duke of Alva and travelled to London, where he stayed a few years before emigrating to Cologne. He is known for portraits and topographical views as well as historical allegories. He also produced scenes of contemporary historical events. Hogenberg died in Cologne. (Wikipedia)

Auto insurance contains a signed deal between a business and an insured where the automobile insurance policy agency will pay the policy holder in the event of an accident in exchange for monthly payments. Most car insurance plans won't offer protection while your RV is employed as a residence. Many people believe auto insurance is quite costly, but don't realize there are methods to work around it and avail good discounts from the insurer. A good way to save on auto insurance is to take full advantage of discounts. Auto Insurance in the United States is something most people now understand. If you can't find auto insurance from a private business, you may have the ability to attain auto insurance through Hawaii's joint underwriting program. If you're on the lookout for inexpensive auto insurance in Virginia, the most economical company will be dependent on personal things like your age, driving record and credit history.
Insurance has to be maintained on your automobile in any respect times, even in the event that you take it off the street for repairs. If this is the case, you should have the kind of insurance required by that state. Home insurance is intended to cover homeowners in case of any unforeseen catastrophe that damages their house. Medical insurance is a significant investment to make in oneself, relatives, and family members. If you don't have valid insurance, there are lots of penalties which can be imposed. Furthermore, you should have current auto insurance so as to register your vehicle in West Virginia. Getting top quality West Virginia car insurance shouldn't be stressful, therefore we ask that you begin today.
The rate consists of uninsured motorist coverage. Always shop several insurance companies so you know they're giving you the very best rate possible. Your own rates will differ. Actual consumer rates will be dependent on individual driver factors.
You won't be able to obtain an insurance policy premium reduction if you were court-ordered. Your rates will differ. If it is going to substantially increase each year, we know that's not the type of carrier you want to deal with. You have a new address of the house where you live affects the rate of your car insurance. Regardless of what neighborhood you reside in, however, you're discover that different automobile insurance companies charge the exact same driver very various state auto insurance prices.
Sadly, it's quite possible for your auto insurance rate to raise even when you haven't had a ticket or been in a collision. Though it looks like car insurance prices are always on the upswing, we actually have a good deal of control over that which we pay and whether that rate will rise over time. Car insurance prices are based on a number of risk factors. In short, they are determined by pooling a large number of people with similar factors or characteristics. It's imperative that you understand West Virginia car insurance prices are calculated dependent on several things that may increase the price of coverage.
Insurance companies generally speaking, offer a good deal of discounts to policyholders. They take many factors into consideration when determining the cost of a driver's insurance premium. Some insurance providers provide accident forgiveness coverage, which prevents a gain in premium while you're with that insurance company when you have to produce an at-fault claim. Also, they forgive minor accidents taking into consideration your overall driving record. Remember you could always speak with your insurance provider or find an on-line quote to make sure you aren't being overcharged for your auto insurance. Each automobile insurance provider sets its own prices for coverage, meaning taking the opportunity to think about an assortment of options can cause considerable savings. Your West Virginia car insurance provider can cancel your insurance within the initial 60 days of your policy for virtually any reason.
Your automobile could boost your vehicle insurance rates if it is exceptionally targeted for theft. If it is statistically more prone to being stolen, it could affect your insurance premium. It will also have a big influence on your insurance costs. You're driving a new carThe type of vehicle you drive also impacts your car insurance policy premium. Speak to your insurance agent to figure out which cars are the cheapest to insure. Some cars are somewhat more prone to theft than others, make sure to inspect the list below to see whether your vehicle is a target on the streets. If you choose to travel by vehicle or train, you may not need it.


The project in which I wrote a python script to process rows in an Excel spreadsheet interfacing with a MySQLdb and fronted on the web end using django is coming to a close. There is just one more requirement to go. They want rollback capabilities with the ability to completely rollback all actions on a particular excel file if one of the rows in the file buffs up or errors out. This is so that they can correct just that one row in that Excel file then feed the same Excel file to my Python process script without worry about the sanctity of the data of the rest of the rows.
This means that I have to somehow implement a multi-row rollback functionality or application level transaction. Python's MySQLdb library supports rollback but only on each transaction. I need a "all or nothing" like functionality. This is something new for me, so I scouted around on google to get some inspiration or to see if someone else had done the same thing. I found this small transaction class by Harald Hoyer at his site. Planning to try out his stuff to see if they can fulfill my requirements. Instinctively, I feel the final solution that I come up with will be a bit different.
The only other way I can see this happening is to maintain another database table keeping track of all actions that are performed at the row level in the input Excel Forms eg: row1 : insert, row2: update. Then if the script detects an error or Exception while processing the form it will perform the reciprocal or rollback to all of the actions that have been performed on the data on the Excel file. So far whatever I have is still being worked out in the noggin' coming close to being implemented.
Something that I seem to have overlooked is that since I am using django for the web front maybe I can also use it's ORM at the backend. It all depends on how much work it would be to ORM-ize my existing code base.
I used the Django ORM on the import side for a project with very similar requirements, and implementing the transaction/rollback requirement was completely painless (literally four lines of code using django.db.transaction).
Sorry for the double comment; I don't know what DB backend you're using, but I have a hard time understanding why you'd consider writing custom transaction-like code rather than leveraging a decent database server with proper transaction support built in.
Carl: I wasn't too sure about normal transactions working as some of the row operations are working on the same data set.
> I wasn't too sure about normal transactions working as some of the row operations are working on the same data set.
Not sure what you mean by that. Generally within a DB transaction, previous updates within that same transaction are visible to you (but possibly to no-one else, depending on the isolation level setting of your DB). You should be able to do multiple updates to the same rows within a single DB transaction without any trouble, and even read back the updated data if you need to. The only pseudo-exception I can think of off-hand is that recent PostgreSQL versions will barf if you try to do schema alterations within the same transaction as data updates, but I doubt you're needing to do schema alterations in a routine data import.
For sure I would at least give it a try with DB transactions and potentially save yourself a lot of unnecessary work.
I have some very similar requirements. Check out the built in transaction decorators. Also I hit a wall with excel files. Processing CSV files with a generator should be a lot faster. The big performance boost was switching from the ORM to raw SQL queries (sqlite3 from standard library).
The client also wanted a list of changes since the last import. For that I used django-reversion.
Jökull: How can you use "raw SQL queries" instead of the ORM and also gain the benefits of something like django-reversion?
Good catch. I'll let you know if I can get it working.
This may be a naive suggestion, but if your application is a single user system (as it sounds to me), you could just copy the table and if any operations fail fallback to the copy.
I've used this approach when prototyping and found that MySQL can copy tables fairly quickly.
thorley: It's not exactly single user... (2 users actually .. hehe) but it's not meant to be single user but what you said is interesting. Might be applicable to another project I got running. Thanks.
Just turn off autocommit and issue a single commit after inserting the last row.
As Carl, Lawrence said... database transactions make any number of statements behave atomically (the A in ACID). MySQL InnoDB included.
Your post seems to leave some confusion on the notion of "transaction" as opposed to "query." A transaction by default consists of a single query, but that can be changed by issuing the "START TRANSACTION" query. In that case, all queries until the next ROLLBACK or COMMIT are part of the same transaction.
SQLAlchemy may help; it allows custom queries, but makes the most common cases (including transactions) easier and more robust.

The city is quietly preparing to move more than 8,000 unidentified body parts to their new resting place in the 9/11 Museum.
"We're getting ready," said city Medical Examiner's Office spokeswoman Julie Bolcer. "We're planning the move."
Lee Ielpi, whose firefighter son, Jonathan, died on 9/11, said the remains should be moved in a solemn motorcade "with clergy of all religions to show the world how we treat our dead, murdered on 9/11, with respect and dignity."
The "remains repository" will be hidden from view behind a wall engraved with a quote by Virgil: "No day shall erase you from the memory of time." The space will include an ME's office and a family visiting room. Further testing to make DNA identifications will be done back at the ME's forensic lab on E. 26th St.,Bolcer said
Some 9/11 relatives strongly oppose putting the remains in the museum — which will charge $24 for admission — saying visitors should not have to fork over cash to pay their respects.

Home Features Optimising mobile performance for service delivery
Optimising mobile performance for service delivery
Australians are enthusiastic adopters of mobile devices such and mobile is fast emerging as the dominant channel for accessing a dizzying array of digitally delivered services.
Australian Government agencies, like businesses, are embracing the potential of mobile by adapting websites and services, such as myGov, for convenient access to more innovative and personalised services — when and where they want to.
The imperative to deploy mobile technology for government service delivery has never been greater. Mobile access matters because of its ubiquity and connectivity. These devices travel with us. They know who we are, where we are, what websites we visit, who we talk to and even how healthy we are. The combination of mobility and connectivity means this data can be shared and aggregated.
Mobile accounts for about half of all transactions online and has penetrated every aspect of daily life, from bill-paying to movie watching to information gathering. Naturally, mobile technology has the potential to greatly simplify the way Australians access, and engage with, government services.
But behind the consumer-friendly face of mobile service access lies great complexity and an unrelenting demand from users for instant gratification. Fractions of a second can make all the difference between a great user experience and a "never again" one.
"Increasingly, consumerisation is driving agencies to support mobile services."
"When it comes to the internet, our expectations are enormous," said Tom Leighton, the CEO of Akamai, the global leader in digital content delivery systems. "It has to be fast. We're just not patient with the internet, no matter how we access it. If it doesn't show up right away, we are inclined to go elsewhere. That's bad for business."
It's also a challenge for cash-strapped governments everywhere trying to leverage the digital era for better user experiences for their citizenry, while maintaining best practice privacy and security benchmarks.
Akamai constantly asks its global private and public sector customers and partners what their users expect in terms of performance. We're a demanding lot — our expectations are set by our last "best experience".
Akamai's research found that 49% users expected sub two-second load times; another 30% expected one-second and a surprising 18% expect instant gratification. Perhaps it's not so surprising when we consider performance benchmarks are set by the digerati tech giants like Google and Facebook.
For a variety of reasons, mobile slows systems and service delivery down: cellular and wi-fi network speeds are variable; the devices — phones, tablets — have screen-size limitations and processor and memory constraints; and, even by internet-time standards, the pace of technological change in the mobile space is breathtaking.
"Increasingly, consumerisation is driving agencies to support mobile services," said John Ellis — Akamai's chief strategist, cybersecurity — who is visiting Australia next week for briefings with senior government agency executives. "It's an opportunity to leverage, rather than a problem to be discouraged.
"But there are many challenges that come with that; maintaining security and privacy is expected by users while minimising the degradation of web/internet performance and page load times. On top of that, CIOs and digital managers have to solve integration issues with legacy systems and establish new policies to support digital-era work practices.
"It's very hard for the average citizen to have any sense that mobile access and delivery is just a subset, though a critical one, of a more complex omni-channel digital service delivery system. But the reality for government leaders is this: managing and responding to citizens' expectations has been permanently reset by digitisation in the private sector."
Since ascending to the prime ministership, Malcolm Turnbull has articulated this reality for government agencies and the private sector. It is a 21st century leadership theme to better assess and cope with complexity and competition in all its forms.
One of the drivers of United States President Barack Obama's digital push, former White House chief information officer Vivek Kundra, talked of the importance of a citizen-first strategy on a trip to Australia earlier this year. He told The Mandarin's David Donaldson:
"If you look at most governments, they're spending a lot of money on what I call systems of record — ERP [enterprise resource planning] systems, supply chains, systems centred on databases and infrastructure — yet systems in the everyday lives of citizens, their customers, are far more sophisticated.
"They can use their mobile device to book a reservation to their favourite restaurant, catch a plane anywhere on the planet, or have a car pick them up and drop them off without exchanging any cash. So how do you close that technology gap when in everyday life citizens have an app for everything, yet when they deal with their government they have to hold on the phone, submit a paper form, or wait in a long line?"
Akamai's Ellis added: "Digital service delivery … like 'innovation' can be mistaken as a nebulous catchall. It is used to describe a broad category of technology, content and processes loosely related to the internet. But, it has real meaning and application depending on what agency you are, whom your constituents are, how you want to reach and engage with them and make them feel safe and secure in that engagement.
"It's a level of both technological and market sophistication that is only increasing in intensity."

Artworks to smell around the world this spring
By Clara Muller 5 June 2022
Categories : Fairs & Events, News
Cette publication est également disponible en : Français
The olfactory art scene has rarely been as active as it is now. Nez takes you on a non-exhaustive world tour of olfactory exhibitions to see, and smell, this spring.
The proliferation of olfactory artistic projects across the globe shows how common these practices are now becoming within the visual arts, and how much the medium of smell finds applications far beyond the creation and commercialisation of perfumes by the fragrance industry. Scents are an integral part of the resources available to artists of all disciplines to express themselves, to converse with our minds and bodies, to create forms and stories, to question the world, to open up possibilities, to create surprise and, sometimes, beauty. So the next time you go to a museum, don't forget to keep your nostrils wide open!
For the sixth major thematic edition of lille3000 entitled "Utopia" which brings together more than 35 exhibitions in the city of Lille, the European metropolis of Lille and the Hauts-de-France region, Belgian artist Peter de Cupere presents a series of olfactory sculptural works, some of which have never been shown before, inspired by various scenarios linked to global warming. As part of the "Le Jardin d'Eden" exhibition, curated by Siegrid Demyttenaere and Sofie Lachaert at the Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Church, visitors can discover Flower Fragrum Cardamomi, a 9-meter high installation representing a flower bulb whose surface is covered with a scratch-and-sniff varnish. In addition, its iconic and strangely dystopian Smoke Cloud, Factory Tree and Olfactory Tree invite visitors to breathe in the terrible smell of air pollution that is gradually suffocating our ecosystems. A series of new creations are also on display at the Maison Folie Moulins: delicate Salt Flowers evoking coral bleaching and carrying oceanic scents. The artist imagines they come from a future world where sea salt would have submerged the continents after the irremediable melting of the ice caps…

This spring, Canadian artist Julie C. Fortier is also revealing several works inspired by nature, a preserved nature this time, in particular within the polysensory exhibition "The end is in the beginning and however we continue" at the Fondation Martell in Cognac. New in the work of the artist, her olfactory carpet Que salive l'horizon, tufted by hand, bears three scents to be smelled at ground level and invites you to lie down and bask as you would in summer grass. The visual artist also presents the installation Eau succulente, made of six perfumes and six edible elements displayed on a spiral table: an invitation to cross the senses and observe their subtle interactions.

In "Faut-il voyager pour être heureux ?" at the EDF Foundation in Paris, Julie Fortier is also redeploying her wall installation Ascension, a cloud made up of 44,000 paper blotters impregnated with four different scent compositions and originally created in 2017 at the Beaux-Arts de Rennes.
La Biennale Design de Saint-Etienne is also hosting until June 11, under the curatorship of the Collectif Jumel, an exhibition in partnership with the National School of Art and Design of Saint-Etienne and under the sponsorship of olfactory artist Boris Raux. Entitled "Ces routes ne mènent nulle part", it took over a brewery, the Brasserie Stéphanoise, a mecca of smells and flavors, which for the occasion hosts the sensory works of six artists selected by Melissa Douville and visual artist Juliette Delecour: Lorie Bayen El-Kaim, Merryl Bouchereau, Floriane Kisa, Rosalie Parent, Atelier Pers and Antoine Salle. A beer tasting will take place on June 11 for the closing.
Juliette Delecour, member of the Collectif Jumel, is also showing an olfactory installation entitled Chanele N5 as part of the Off of the Biennale of Contemporary African Art which is being held in Dakar from May 19 to June 21.

At the International Perfume Museum in Grasse, the exhibition "Respirer l'art. Quand l'art contemporain sublime l'univers du parfum", which will last until March 5, 2023, is an opportunity to bring the museum's collections into dialogue with a number of works loaned by public institutions, galleries, private collectors, or the artists themselves. Peter de Cupere, Julie C. Fortier and Boris Raux are represented in the show, alongside many international artists such as Helga Griffiths, Emma Febvre and Jérémie Topin, Francis Kurkdjian and Sophie Calle, Daniel Pescio, Antoine Renard, Hayoun Kim, Hicham Berrada, Ernesto Neto, Duy Anh Nhan Duc, Isa Barbier, Pierre et Gilles, Frédéric Pasquini, Ali Cherri, Jean-Pierre Bertrand, Sylvie Fleury, Andrea Branzi, Jean-Michel Othoniel, Martynka Wawrzyniak, Gilles Barbier, etc. Nez will also be present with the display of perfumes from the 1+1 collection, accompanied by works by the artists involved in their creation.

From May 25 to July 10 in Vitry-sur-Seine, Jean-François Krebs, whose performative, visual, tactile and olfactory work revolves around the question of the body limits, plant metamorphosis and healing rituals, presents an installation within "Cosmogonias", at the Galerie Municipale Jean Collet. Designed as an immersive space, the show brings together the works of three artists who share a taste for the mutations of matter: Marie-Sarah Adenis, Jean-François Krebs and Valentin Ranger. Designed by Jean-François Krebs, a sculpture-fountain made of uraline – glass containing uranium which gives it a fluorescent glow – welcomes visitors with an olfactory blessing ritual using rose, verbena or jasmine water. Made of reproduced fragments of a human body, living plants in a semi-hydroponic system, extracts of aromatic, medicinal or sacred plants, and floral waters, his piece Réaction sombre distills a powerful aura mixing the scents of camphor, star anise, sage, jasmine and vetiver. Presented in its Réaction claire phase at the 72nd Jeune Création festival in Romainville, the title of this evolving work that mixes humans and plants refers to the two phases of photosynthesis. A weekend of olfactory performances will mark the end of the exhibition.

Finally, still in France, the botanical and exotic garden of Roscoff in Finistère, Bretagne, will host from May 26 to July 17 the graphic, olfactory and gustatory project "ASAÉS" by visual artist Claire Xuân. A selection of raw materials – flowers, fruits, herbs, algae and fragrant woods – used in the culinary arts and perfumery will thus be put into images by the artist during a multi-sensory stroll among the many plant species of the garden.

In Italy now, the Venice Biennale, which runs until November 27, is also an opportunity to discover "Es-senze" organized by curator Pier Paolo Pancotto in the noble floor of the Palazzo Mocenigo, which hosts the Venetian Perfume and Textile Museum. The exhibition brings together the work of a dozen international artists – Mircea Cantor, Mateusz Chorobski, Jason Dodge, Bruna Esposito, Eva Marisaldi, Florian Mermin, Giuseppe Penone, Paola Pivi, Namsal Siedlecki, Achraf Touloub, Nico Vascellari and Luca Vitone – who draw their inspiration from the world of smells and perfumes. Some of the works on display are naturally fragrant, such as the incense sticks made by Mircea Cantor which burn on bases designed by the Romanian artist, while others have been associated with perfumes created specially for the occasion in consultation with the artists, as is the case with the terracotta hands sculpted by Florian Mermin, shrouded in a halo of roses, and holding between their large palms a potpourri of dried flowers.

Moving up north, to the Netherlands, where Claudia de Vos presents fifteen olfactory works in "Gurzicht, Sense of Nature" (until June 30) in different spaces of the Conference Center Drakenburg in the small town of Baarn. Photographs, collages, sculptures and tapestries inspired by forest landscapes and the therapeutic power of certain natural essences exude, by various means, scents of moss, wood, resins, honey, cut grass, or even mushrooms, that invite you to breathe the images created by the artist.

Our tour of Europe ends in Germany, with "Sensing the Unseen" by the artist Helga Griffiths, who not only lends her work Migratory Sense to the MIP in Grasse, but also presents new installations at the Saarlandmuseum Moderne Galerie in Saarbrücken. Her multimedia works, which abstractly connect the human body with its environment, refer here to the mining history of the region. In particular, the artist brought back from Germany's last active coal mine, the Prosper Haniel mine in Bottrop, a sample of air encapsulated in a glass bulb, in the same way that Marcel Duchamp had captured 50 cubic centimeters of Air de Paris in a pharmaceutical vial in 1919. Titled L'Air du Charbon, this time capsule, an invisible memory of a landscape and an economy shaped by coal, also gave rise to a perfumed edition.

On the other side of the world, in New Zealand, artist Jo Burzynska, trained in perfume composition at the Institute for Art and Olfaction in 2016, unveils her Eau Tautahi at the The Arts Centre in Christchurch as part of an exhibition titled "What Might We Find When We Stop Looking?" visible until May 29. Inspired by the Situationist International, using sensory psycho-geography as a way to reappropriate urban space, the artist sought to map the city according to different sensory zones: tactile, olfactory, gustatory and auditory. The fragrance created for the occasion consists of three accords inspired by three aspects of Christchurch: an "urban" accord evoking dust, tar and coffee; a "river" accord reminiscent of the fresh, green and aquatic scent of the Ōtākaro flowing through the city, and finally a "garden" accord imitating the smell of wet earth, leaves and wood.

In the United States, as "Living with Scents" [1] reaches its end at the Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco, the Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles is highlighting the pluridisciplinary work of Joe Merrell in "The Fragility of Complex Things" (until June 1). Several videos, photographic prints and two perfumes created since the start of the pandemic reveal the intimate effects of the health and political crisis of the past two years.

The larger project "Once the Smoke Clears" by artist Beatrice Glow will take over the Baltimore Museum of Art until October 2. The result of several years of research about the socio-cultural history of tobacco, this exhibition explores the social and ecological realities of the global trade of this plant native to the Americas. The artist presents watercolors, printed and embroidered silks, objects modeled in virtual reality, others printed in 3D and painted by hand, all inspired by a Western visual culture steeped in colonialism. Several olfactory experiences complete this multi-sensory exhibition which makes us rethink the construction and perception of the world as we know it.

Finally, in New York, on June 3, M Dougherty's exhibition "Your Dog Knows" opens at the Olfactory Art Keller gallery, which visitors will be invited to discover with their dog, in order to approach the olfactory work of the artist in a disanthropocentric manner!

Q: SQLite3 - Finding average values when a new variable is introduced I am working with SQLite3 and I have 4 tables:
HAVING foreignstudent = 'TRUE'
ORDER BY max(score) desc;

It seems like adding that in will allow the values to be printed only where foreignstudent is true. However, it does not work...

A: Let's look at your first query first:
SELECT sid, name, crsid, avg(grade)
FROM classmate natural join took natural join classSection
natural join class
GROUP BY crsid
ORDER BY max(score) desc;

Apart from mentioning tables that are not defined in the question, there are three issues/bad habits with this query.  First, you are not using table aliases that specify where the columns are coming from.  The second is that columns are in the select clause but not in the group by.  The third is the use of natural join.  Natural join seems really useful, but what it does depends on the underlying structure of the table -- adding, dropping, or renaming a column affects the join, not by causing an error but by producing different results.  Yuck!  So, try writing this query as:
SELECT cm.sid, cm.name, c.crsid, avg(t.grade)
FROM classmate cm join
     took t
     using (sid) join
     classSection cs
     using (secid) join
     course c
     using (crsid)
GROUP BY cm.sid, cm.name, c.crsid;

Next, if you want to filter on just foreign students, add a where clause, not a having clause:
SELECT cm.sid, cm.name, c.crsid, avg(grade)
FROM classmate cm join
     took t
     using (sid) join
     classSection cs
     using (secid) join
     course c
     using (crsid)
WHERE cm.foreignstudent = 1
GROUP BY cm.sid, cm.name, c.crsid;

In SQLite, "true" is the value 1.

Actress Go Ara will cameo on KBS 2TV's "Producer" as IU's rival
The next celebrity cameo appearance has been announced, and you won't believe Go Ara's role in the star-studded variety drama Producer.

Appearing in the 8th episode, Go Ara will play top actress that is a friend of IU, who plays the role of Cindy, a popular pop star singer. However, underneath all the niceties, Go Ara and Cindy are actually on bad terms and will fight an intense "war of nerves."
This will be Go Ara's first appearance in a drama since her role in SBS' You're All Surrounded last year.
Producer has invited many of Korea's top celebrities to appear in a cameo on the show, appropriate as the drama is a "real variety drama" that mainly focuses on KBS' variety department.
It airs every Friday and Saturdays at 9:15pm KST.

Matt Young of The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology delivered a great presentation on the occupational exposure to dental mercury to a handful of dental school administrators at the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) conference. Prior to the event he had sent an email to every dental school in the country. It was ashame more people didn't show up as he delivered a powerful message.
People like Matt have been trying for years to get the dental profession to acknowledge this widespread problem. It always amazes me how reluctant dentists are to knowing this information when it not only affects their health, but those of their employees and patients. It will be a sad day for dentistry when litigation will force the profession as a whole to obey occupational safety regulations to protect staff. To the left is a picture of the Haz Mat uniforms Matt and his staff wear.
Here is Matt's entire presentation.
A few of the video's from Matt's presentation are below.

Five years ago at this link, MusicLoad first featured Stephanie McKay and the studio version of her impassioned soul song titled Tell It Like It Is.
Today we are proud to present more from this very soulful artist. Just below is a live take of of her song titled Jackson Avenue.
And, this is another timeless and very passionate live recording of Stephanie singing her song titled Tell It Like It Is, not to be confused with the love song with the same titled first recorded by Aaron Neville in 1966.
This is Stephanie's own song that is about the harsh realities of the world and society out of control and disillusioned life. She has used the song to bring attention to the war in Darfur.
This performance below is live at Joe's Pub in New York City. The video and audio was recorded on on a single handheld camcorder with no edits, but the pure passion of her cause blazes through.

Boston Red Sox Craig Breslow Jim Monaghan Justin Masterson Matt Barnes Mike Napoli Mookie Betts
Recap - Sox lose to Astros with usual suspects contributing
https://www.redsoxlife.com/2015/07/recap-sox-lose-to-astros-with-usual.html
The Red Sox snapped defeat from the jaws of victory last night losing 12-8 in 10 innings to the Astros at Fenway Park.
Rather than give you the blah-blah-blah details, let's take a look at some of the individual Red Sox performances last night.
Photo courtesy of the Associated Press
JUSTIN MASTERSON - he was fine the first time through the Houston order and was cruising with a 2-0 lead when the wheels came off in the top of the fourth, the second time through the Houston lineup. If he's going to stick around for the remainder of the season he might serve the Red Sox better coming out of the bullpen.
MIKE NAPOLI - he's completely lost at the plate, and now he can't catch the ball either. His error in the top of the 10th inning couldn't have come at a worse time. He is clearly a candidate to be DFA'd.
MOOKIE BETTS - I get that he's still only 22 and learning the game at the highest professional level, but getting thrown out trying to steal 3rd in the 8th inning was just plain stupid. With Bogaerts up and Ortiz (who would double) to follow, most Little Leaguers know there was no need to attempt that steal.
CRAIG BRESLOW - nice guy...does a lot for the community...served up a first-pitch home run to Carlos Correa in the 8th after the Sox had rallied to tie the score in the 7th. The mood at Fenway immediately changed when he was back on the mound to start the 8th.
MATT BARNES - I don't care how good your curve ball is. When you throw a 97-mph fastball, you might want to feature it a bit more. His CB to FB ratio last night had to be 3:1...at least.
Boston Red Sox, Craig Breslow, Jim Monaghan, Justin Masterson, Matt Barnes, Mike Napoli, Mookie Betts

About Hamboards by Abraham Paskowitz
SURFING RECREATES YOU
EXPLORE YOUR GREATEST SELF
As a boy, I was led to the surfboard by my father - Doc Paskowitz. He would say, "Abe, this is where you'll discover your TRUE SELF." He was right. I found life's deepest truths unfolding on the surfboard.
"THERE WAS A RELATIONSHIP THERE. A THIRST."
Flat days and landlocked van trips were unbearable. I just NEEDED some waves, a zen high and a "spiritual" buzz. Skateboards provided a much-needed relief on the dull days.
SIDEWALK SURFING WAS BORN CRUDE
Skateboarding was born out of the urge to surf the sidewalks. But for a long time, it fell short.
The trucks always seemed too tight, and the boards were way too narrow and short. Longboard skateboards evolved, but still had the same limitations, too narrow and too tight.
SOMEONE'S ALWAYS MAKING WAVES IN THIS WORLD
Decades later. I presented for the first time, an independent genre - 'Surf-Skating. The idea was an instant phenomenon. But the application came with limitations. Something was missing …. Engaging the rail.
HAMBOARDS. SURF-SKATE REVELATION.
Pete Hamborg, a fireman and surfer. And his family.
Years of trial and error. Frustrations. A driveway mishap. A land-board crushed by an SUV. In 1997 Pete figured it out. It was an instant hit.
AND THE FIRST SURF-SKATEBOARD PROTOTYPE IS BORN... ONE THAT ACTUALLY SIMULATES WAVE SURFING.
For the first time ever, the world had a long skateboard that actually cruised rail-to-rail like a surfboard. We had been dreaming of that our whole lives but had no idea that Pete had it, right up the Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington.
FROM GARAGE SHOP TO SHARK TANK
Demand for Hamboards got serious, first with the locals in Huntington Beach and then the word spread like fire within the surf community.
There was a business. But Pete was an innovator, not a businessman. His sons had to live their own dreams. Art School, Lifeguarding, and personal passions that a young adult gets to explore. Things with the business were going haywire, with a lot of excitement but not much business planning.
Enter Donnie, Pete's cousin, a NASA engineer, entrepreneur and a self-made millionaire. Donnie had no idea what he was getting into. He just wanted to help his cousin save the family jewels and help Pete turn Hamboards into a thriving local skateboard business. One late night Donnie sent an email to a casting agent for Mark Burnett and ABC. Within a couple months, things changed forever.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS BEYOND ANYONE'S WILDEST DREAMS.
Hamboards was on ABC's Hit TV Show Shark Tank
Nobody was ready for what happened next. Needless to say, the brand awareness overwhelmed the garages ability to deliver. It was just too much pressure, and everyone burned-out. Somehow Donnie kept it alive, but it was still kind of like he was raising his hippy surfer cousins "love child". He sought help from lots of places and eventually found his way to me.
THE HAMBOARDS RE-LAUNCH
When Donnie reached out to me for marketing ideas, I knew the brand, but had never actually stepped on a Hamboard. The very first time I rode a Hammy, I instantly saw a game-changer.
It was the first time I got a floater on asphalt.
RE-INTRODUCING HAMBOARDS - THE QUINTESSENTIAL SIDEWALK SURFSKATE BOARD
Hamboards and its patented HST Carving Truck was designed to stand alone as the only true Rail-to-Rail Surfing simulator. Other Surfskates offer serpentine moves for pumping. The Hamboard HST Carving Trucks are stable when cruising (in neutral) but can instantly make deep gouging (30 degree) carves ,with rail-to-rail engagement, so that you can truly, trim and turn on a dime.
NASA ENGINEER DESIGNED TRUCKS FOR THE ULTIMATE CARVE AND THRASH.
Built with aviation grade aluminum, a brand-new high-performance spring, and a critical new kingpin that never needs tuning, this carving truck is meant to unleash monster rips and will last a lifetime (with proper maintenance).
ONLY HAMBOARDS SPECIALIZES IN LONGBOARD SURFSKATE, SHORTBOARD SURFSKATE AND SUPSKATE LAND PADDLING DISCIPLINES OF RIDING.
COMING SOON, WE HAVE SOME RAD ALL-NEW SHORTBOARD SURFSKATES IN PRODUCTION SLATED FOR SUMMER 2020.
HAMBOARDS REMAINS GRATEFUL TO PETER HAMBORG, HIS FAMILY, AND THE WAVES OF ENTHUSIASTS WHO SPENT A DECADE GIVING BIRTH TO HAMBOARDS VERSION OF LONGBOARD SURF SKATING.
Like the Paskowitz Family, the Hamborg boys eventually grew up and moved on from their larger-than-life formative story.
NOW, THOSE OF US WHO REMAIN WITH THE COMPANY ARE FOCUSED AND COMMITTED TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING THE WORLDS FINEST RAIL TO RAIL SURFSKATES, SUP SKATES, PADDLES AND ACCESSORIES.
WE LOVE SHARING THE STOKE WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.
We embrace the daily challenges of building the Hamboards business. We also truly appreciate the Hamborg's inspiration and their gracious and continued support.
HAMBOARDS IS STILL "CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE REALLY BIG SKATEBOARD AT A TIME".

When hiring a contractor, you have to keep track of everything that you do with that professional. Contractors may not always do this for you, so don't assume that they will. Take all of the invoices and contracts related to your project and save them. Your paperwork file should help prevent misunderstandings with a contractor by providing details about costs, expectations and the time frame for the performance of your home improvements.
If possible, make home improvements immediately after noticing an issue. You may think that a problem is so small that it won't bother you. It's crucial that you don't give into this urge! All your home's systems are interconnected, and problems can spread quickly. You'll see a little problem turn into a big one almost overnight if you're not careful.
