Industrial Survival In A Pre-Computer World
On Wednesday, August 15th our very own industrial archeologist, Bob Stewart, presented answers to how our ancestors developed our rich industrial culture without the aid of computer technology.
So how did we control rail transportation, generate electricity, build ships, communicate, test aircraft, develop rockets and make all the "stuff" of the early 19th and 20th century without all the magical mysteries of cybernetics and digitization? The story is amazing...history is amazing and Bob enjoyed sharing fascinating rare photos that illustrated how inventors and engineers solved the problems of industrialization.
After a retiring from a 30 year career in engineering at United Technologies, Bob founded Historical Technologies, a firm that specializes in documenting archeological industrial sites. Bob works as a field investigator, photographer and consultant in cultural resource documentation. Documentation is done under contract with other cultural resource firms, for The National Park Service, other governmental services and private clients. Historical Technologies has completed projects documenting railroads, power plants, nuclear facilities, bridges, aerospace installations, ships, dams, 19th century factory complexes military/government sites and obsolete process technologies.
Bob has taught a graduate course in Industrial Archeology at Northeastern University and has published several monographs on historic industrial sites. He has presented papers at Drew University, The National Canal Museum in Easton, South Street Seaport, the Power Engineering Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers at NYU, Lafayette College, Lehigh University and at the Museo del Patrimonio Industriale di Bologna in Italy.
Bob is a member and past president of the Society of Industrial Archeologists and he is a founding director of the NCCHP museum. Our museum exists today because of Bob's vision to save and share the history of the industrial revolution that occurred right here in Granville over 150 years ago. Thank you Bob, for all you've done and continue to do for NCCHP.

Come find out what Benedict Arnold had in common with John Brown, Tokyo Rose and other scoundrels in America's history!

10/19/2016 - Kevin Johnson portrays "Jordan Freeman - The Fight
to Set a People Free"
On October 19th NCCHP presented Kevin Johnson as Jordan Freeman, an African-American servant of John Ledyard and the body servant of Col. William Ledyard in the Revolutionary War. Jordan Freeman was an actual person, a native of Old Lyme, Connecticut. He witnessed and participated in key events of the war while with Col. Ledyard.
Jordan Freeman was a hero at the Battle of Groton Heights, one of the bloodiest battles of the Revolutionary War. To give you some idea of the scope of the bravery of the patriot militia defending New London, they were approximately 150 in number under the command of William Ledyard, facing a total invading force of 1700 British regulars under the command of the traitor Benedict Arnold, 800 of whom were directly involved in the attack on Fort Griswold at Groton Heights.
Other black patriots mentioned during the presentation includes Granville's own Lemuel Haynes, Venture Smith, Crispus Attucks and Prince Estabrook.
The Jordan Freeman presentation is based on extensive research in the collections of the Connecticut State Library and the Museum of Connecticut History at 231 Capitol Ave., opposite the state capitol in Hartford.
Kevin Johnson is an employee of the State Library's History and Genealogy Unit. In addition to portraying Jordan Freeman, he has been presenting as Pvt. William Webb, a soldier in the Civil War, for more than 18 years and has given more than 500 presentations.
So concludes NCCHP's 2016 Living History series. It was an outstanding year of wonderful presentations. If you missed this year please resolve to join us in Granville for the 2017 series, and if you joined us in 2016 thank you for supporting NCCHP, dedicated to keeping the drumbeat of history alive.

Gravestone CSI: Causes of Death Found on Gravestones
Betsy and Al McKee will discuss causes of death recorded on gravestones in the Connecticut River valley in the 18th and 19th centuries. The McKees live in a house built by the gravestone carver Hermon Newell, built around 1801. Once they discovered that their house was built by a stonecutter, they began a search to learn more. Both in the medical field, the McKees have been researching and restoring their old house since moving to the area in 1989.
Cause of death recorded on gravestones is fairly rare, but the McKees have found and photographed hundreds of examples, from dramatic accidents to heartbreaking tragedies. Why did some carvers record the cause of death on a gravestone? Was it meant to serve as a cautionary tale, or was it just the 18th century version of People magazine headlines? This PowerPoint presentation will explore gravestone carving as forensic research.

French & Indian War Presentation
Our Living History series continues on Wednesday, August 15th @ 6:30PM
History comes alive as Frank Molander talks about the Royal Rouissillon, a French Army regiment active during the French & Indian War
Frank D. Molander, a resident of Suffield, CT, is a French & Indian War re-enactor who portrays an officer in the French Royal Roussillon Regiment.
The Royal Roussillon was a French Army regiment active during the late 17th century and 18th century. It is principally known for its role in the Seven Years' War, when it served in the North American theatre (French & Indian War).
Frank started researching the period of the French & Indian War and began re-enacting in 1992 while living in Vermont. Over the years Frank has participated in historical re-enactment events throughout the northeast and Canada. From 2005-2008 Frank served as the French Commanding Officer for the annual Grand Encampment of the French & Indian War held at Fort Ticonderoga. This was the largest annual French & Indian War event attended by over 1200 re-enactors from across North America.
This is a free event. Donations are always appreciated!
Martin Sandler Lecture
Called "the most prolific author in America," by Publishers' Weekly, Martin W. Sandler, who will be the guest speaker at NCCHP on July 25th, is the author of more than 85 books. He has twice been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and,among many other honors, has received seven Emmy Awards. In addition, the New York Times has described him as "arguably the most entertaining speaker of them all."
"I have always believed," Sandler says, "that, if written or told correctly, history is by far more exciting than even the best that fiction has to offer. My goal has always been to make history come alive. Above all else, I love a good story, especially if it is one that has been largely overlooked and is filled with people battling against great odds."
Mr Sandler's forthcoming book, THE IMPOSSIBLE RESCUE tells such a story. Described by the Washington Post as "a fantastic story, magnificently told," the book will be one of several that Sandler will discuss in his talk titled "History:More Exciting Than Fiction.
Other of Sandler's most recent books include the bestselling RESOLUTE:THE SEARCH FOR THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE AND THE QUEEN'S GHOST SHIP,selected by the New York Times as "one of the ten best books of the year," and LINCOLN THROUGH THE LENS, chosen as "the book of the year" by three reviewing journals. Sandler's forthcoming books include THE JOHN F. KENNEDY LETTERS and IMPRISONED:JAPANESE AMERICANS IN WORLD WAR II. Sandler is currently at work on THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY BOOK OF THE BEATLES.

There's No Joy In Granville: The Game of Wicket Ball & Granville's Connection to America's Past Time
We're proud to launch our "2011 Living History Series" on Wednesday, May 11th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the museum.
Baseball Historian Dan "Gunner" Genovese of Westfield, Massachusetts will present on Granville's connection to the evolution of the game of baseball with a presentation about an early bat and ball game known as "wicket ball," the sport of choice in the hill towns in the early to mid 19th Century. Wicket ball, a direct predecessor of America's Past Time was a popular game in the region prior to the American Civil War but its importance had been ignored for more than a century and a half. Genovese, an author of two books on Westfield baseball history and a member of the local SABR Chapter (Society of American Baseball Research), will present his research on the sport and will highlight a game played in 1850 between Granville and Westfield that ended in controversy. "The subject of baseball's origin is an on-going fascinating subject and is currently a hot topic right now as the commissioner of Major League Baseball recently appointed a special commission to investigate it origins once again," noted Genovese. "In my opinion Granville has a lot to offer to the evolution of the game and should be aware of what they have."
Genovese is also the captain and founder of the Westfield Wheelmen Vintage Base Ball Club and the winner of the Westfield Historical Commission's Annual Preservation Award in 2010.
Bring the family and come on out to hear all about a favorite sport played by our ancestors – and the great rivalries between towns.
The lecture is free to museum members, with donations gratefully accepted from other guests. There will be light refreshments served.

The brain cells of patients with bipolar disorder, a manic-depressive illness characterized by severe swings in mood, energy and ability to carry out daily tasks, are more sensitive to stimuli than other people's brain cells, reports an international team of scientists headed by researchers at Salk Institute for Biological Studies and University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.
The finding, published in the October 28 online issue of Nature, is among the first to show at a cellular level how the bipolar disorder affects the brain, including why some patients respond to treatment with lithium while others don't.
Neurons (white/red) from a subset of bipolar patients show changes in their electrical activity in response to lithium. Image courtesy of Salk Institute.
"Researchers hadn't all agreed that there was a cellular cause to bipolar disorder so our study is important validation that the cells of these patients really are different," said Rusty Gage, PhD, a professor in Salk's Laboratory of Genetics and senior author of the study.
Bipolar disorder affects more than 5 million Americans. It cannot be cured, and is often difficult to treat. If patients' severe mood swings aren't improved with lithium, a long-standing drug widely used to treat bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses, doctors may resort to piecing together treatment plans using antipsychotic drugs, antidepressants and mood stabilizers. These remedies can ease depressive or manic swings, but not both.
To study the underlying cause of bipolar disorder, the scientists collected skin cells from six bipolar patients, reprogrammed the cells to become stem cells and then coaxed the stem cells to develop into neurons. They then compared these derived neurons to neurons from healthy controls.
"Neurons are normally activated by a stimuli and respond," said Jerome Mertens, PhD, a postdoctoral research fellow at Salk and first author. "The cells we have from all six bipolar patients are much more sensitive in that you don't need to activate them very strongly to see a response." In addition, the mitochondria – the energy-generating powerhouses inside the cells – were also more active.
Of the six patients in the study, three had responded to previous lithium treatment and three had not. The researchers investigated to see how their cells reacted to lithium, allowing some of the stem cell-derived neurons to grow in liquid containing lithium and then re-measuring how sensitive the cells were.
The findings don't explain why lithium works for some patients and not others, but offer a starting point for investigating additional differences between cells. The stem cell-derived bipolar neurons also provide a new platform to ask other questions about the disorder.
"Now that we have neurons that show differences in excitability, we can use these to screen for better drugs," said Mertens. If a new drug, for instance, reverses the hyperexcitability at the cellular level, it would likely treat bipolar disorder in patients.

Over the years there has been one issue that pops up after our shows have been cast. Despite our best efforts through training, education and strong leadership we still see students and parents fall victim to what we call "lead role-itis" . It's that horrible disease that comes with a nasty case of envy and resentment towards those that cast a show and sometime worse, those that are given a lead role.
How does lead role-itis manifest? Generally we see this surface soon after auditions have been held for an upcoming production. When students or adults have had a close affiliation with a theatre company for many years, and are familiar with a particular creative team, a strong personal bond is made between students and tutors. These tutors then become the core creative team members for our productions and plays. A close collaborative creative process means that students and sometimes grown adults feel safe enough to let their guard down. This is a wonderful bond that in my experience is unique to the performing arts.
A downside to this is that often an individual can often feel personally betrayed when they do not get a lead role. They are left feeling hurt, sad and embarrassed. We hear things like, "it's just favoritism", or "I've been attending classes longer than that person" and sometimes even "I'm a far better person for that role".
It is our job to teach our students about how the industry works and to develop their skills. It is, in our view, the job of the students parents to teach them how to deal with disappointment.


This is a term/phrase I use a lot, "creating the space." Creating the space for honesty. Creating the space for success. Creating the space for learning. What I mean is setting the stage, prepping the kitchen, mowing the field. Life happens in contexts and we often do life in the wrong context.
Let's say you are having a meeting with your staff. You are reviewing your 2015 numbers and some of them really excite you and some are troubling. You have a key employee that oversees the production in the area where the low numbers are. You are talking to the whole group but that person is on your mind. And then, without warning, you blurt out your frustration at that person and their performance. The discussion went from focusing on the business to focusing on them. This is not creating the space, this is a sneak attack, a sucker punch. What is that person suppose to do? I guarantee their instinct is to save face in front of the team. You have not created the space, worse yet, you violated the previous space of collectively reviewing the company's performance. This practice creates animosity, awkwards, frustration, embarrassment, but certainly not honesty, or healthy discussion.
Back to my original example. Three weeks ago I was on a coaching call with these entrepreneurs and I sensed a bit of tension about the pace of the project and the sharing of the duties. There wasn't anything clearly raising its hand as a problem but rather a perceived tension or hesitancy as they spoke and answered one another. If they hadn't created the space to be open and honest in real time now as co-owners it wasn't going to happen at the right time later. I knew from experience that the @#$% would hit the fan at the wrong moment later, probably over money. So I scheduled a meeting, at my house, with these 4 individuals, and their spouses, and their children. My goal was to create a space where everyone who had a stake in the success of the project was in the room at the same time to have the same discussion. The project couldn't afford misread texts or Slack updates.
Explain my "cards face up" methodology.
Say what I thought I perceived.
My goal was to create a space where each individual felt comfortable to be frank, honest, and vulnerable about how they felt about the project. Let me break down each strategy.
I like food. You like food. People like food. And better yet, your body likes food. I have set through way too many meetings where everyone is over-caffeinated, underslept, and having a blood sugar crisis. This is not a great environment to make critical decisions. Professional athletes careful guard their diet so they have the right energy at the right time to get the job done. Rarely do I hear of professional "anything else" taking daily diet into consideration for getting the job done. So I safely made the assumption that if I could stabilize their blood sugar and lower their cortisol that I had done what I could to help them physically be ready for the meeting. So 8 adults, 12 kids, and 3 boxes of spaghetti noodles later everyone was fed.
Never underestimate the power of eating before having a serious meeting. I find in business we have serious meetings and then go eat afterwards, this does not make sense. Dine and then debate. Trust me, the debate is way more productive after food than before.
I also think there is part of the human DNA that responds to eating in a group that creates a space for community. If you want to bring people together, feed them. This has ALWAYS worked throughout all of humanity. I wanted these four people to come to the meeting as equals. Breaking bread around the same table does this faster than anything else. If you don't know your neighbor, eat with them. If you are having trouble with an adult child, eat with them. If you and your boss aren't getting along, eat with them. It just works. Side note: only include adult beverages AFTER a decision or an agreement has been made. Alcohol rarely increases people's ability to say what they mean and others hear it and appreciate it.
So I fed them, they seems happy based on the smiling and laughing, so on to strategy 2: cards face up.
I met my wife in the summer of 1999. She lived in Brookings, South Dakota and I lived in Moriarty, New Mexico. We met working on a project in Denver. In 1999 there was no texting, booting up the computer to send and email was a hassle, so we spent every night talking on the phone, for hours. Remember calling cards? They were a godsend since our cell plans came with 30 whole minutes a month.
We talked about everything imaginable. One of the topics that came up was how we resolve conflict. My guess was that our methods would be informed by how our parents resolved conflict, like it or not. Her parents were super private during conflict, so that wasn't very informative. My mom wanted to hash it out and my dad did everything to avoid conflict, so that wasn't healthy. We weren't off to a great start.
I told, my now wife, that I felt my parents handled conflict like poker players handle their hand. Each person has a secret hand of cards and it is their job to trick the other player into showing their hand first. It is a game of deception and disinformation. Player hold their hands where only they can see them. This might work for poker but it doesn't for communication and conflict resolution. I felt each one of my parents had a trump card or cards that they played after the other one played their best card.
I remember having the visual of playing "52 Card Pickup" during this conversation. I am sure you had a father or crazy uncle who at some point convinced you to play this trick of a game. As you recall, all 52 cards are shot into the air via one-handed shuffle method and go flying all over the room in a huge mess. If your job is to reset the deck then your first task it so turn all of the cards face up. This is the only way to reset the deck. To create order. To right the wrong. Open, face up, honesty.
So I said I want to resolve conflict by communicating in those times with our cards face up. It might be messy at the beginning but it is the shortest path to restoring order.
I shared this story at our post dinner party. I was setting the stage for open and honest communication. Now there are some ground rules for this, which I will go into in another post, but the goal is to seek understanding first and respond second.
What I did was create the rules of engagement for the next 2 hours. The rules did not include beating around the bush, back-handed compliments, or getting upset. Now that they rules were established it was time to lay my cards face up first, a peace offering if you will. I was also demonstrating the behavior I wanted by being an example. Kind of a see it, do it model.
This is where the rubber meets the road. I began to recount several specific instances that I felt were symptoms of a larger set of problems. This is tricky.
My role is to say not only what I was perceiving but what I think others are thinking. I want to throw the words out there and be able to own them as an "outsider." The most extreme example is that during the evening I told one of the owners that they will make a terrible owner of the future business. Those are words you have to own. I may be wrong but I would guess there were others thinking the same thing. I was able to own that honest sentence. And guess what, after a funny face the person agreed with me. This let some serious tension out of the room and removed some future anxiety from the group. It removed pressure.
If I have any feedback from participants prior to the meeting I will often own that feeling or concern as my own. This frees up the actual concerned party to agree or disagree.
Often I will be over dramatic on my words so that others can disagree which allows the freedom to unite against me. A group of people will often unify around a common enemy. Sometimes I am that common enemy for the sake of group unity.
After I am done dishing my thoughts/concerns/perceptions it is time for some questions.
Or if I see someone squirming during my talking time I point it out.
I also have another technique, though I didn't use it in this meeting, that helps boil down what the group is doing well and what they need to work on in just a matter of seconds.
I say 1-15 because people are bad at math and they have to stop and think about where the middle is to know if they are above failing. Otherwise on a scale of 1 - 10 you often get 7.
Then I ask two questions. I ask the second one only after the first one is fully answered.
Why so low? No matter what their number is, short of 15, this is designed to get them to fess up to what they think they are doing wrong. They are always correct. It is funny how people always know or have the correct hunch. Let them talk here.
So do you think that if you did less of the stuff that drove your number down and more of the stuff that propped it up you'd be better off? Watch what happens in the moments after answering this questions. Shoulders drop. Faces relax. Posture changes. A burden is lifted. This over simplification helps people bite off chunks they can handle.
Typically by this point I am 15-20 minutes into me talking and everyone else following my lead. I will often then say one of the following to pass the baton to the members of the group.
Or if anyone in the group has covered their mouth, is using one hand to hold back the other, has a foot or leg bouncing or anything else that shows me they are dying to speak I ask them to talk next.
And then I shut up. I listen intently, but I shut up. Silence is a powerful motivator to get someone to speak up. People hate silence. Enjoy watching them squirm.
Sometimes I will circle back to 3) Say what I thought I perceived during this time to keep the discussion clear and healthy.
So let's say Person A is diving into this honesty thing and something pops out of their mouth that is either a personal slam or ignorant or causes others in the room to have a physical reaction. At this moment I will usually interject. I will typically repeat word for word what I just heard them say and ask them if that is what they said. Then I will say, "Ok, so, if you don't mind, I am going to translate what I think you mean." This is my point to correct them or clarify.
Let me give you an example outside of a group meeting like this. I have a 9 year old son. He is almost a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. Pound for pound he is a tough little fart. I grew up doing martial arts so he and I like to fight/wrestle often. Every once in awhile he will get really excited during a tough moment in our match and haul off and punch me. Now keep in my that we are going pretty hard and he is a little guy. So chances are I have pushed his buttons pretty hard before this point so he is having a natural reaction. Twice I have been punched in the face. Hard. At this point I always immediately stop the battle and say, "Are we punching now, cause I don't remember us discussing the punching rule. I love to punch. If you want to punch, let's do it." To which he always quickly replies, "No, no, no, I am sorry, I don't want to punch. I shouldn't have hit you." To which I reply, "Are you sure, because I love to punch. If you want to fight like a grown man and punch then you have to be willing to take them as well." He usually then says, "No. I promise I don't want to punch. Just wrestle dad." At which point we resume trouble free.
What I did here is clarify his actions and intentions. He violated our initial ground rules, spoken or unspoken. I gave him a chance to own that decision. I am willing to redefine the rules if that is what he wants, but I am just clarifying. I am allowing a takeback. A redo. I do the same thing with a group of adults.
If a punch is made or something seems out of whack I call timeout and clarify, and then move forward.
At the end I often ask each person, "What are you taking away from this meeting?" This is to ensure that people understood each other. We don't want folks to walk away confused on more issues.
And then I always ask, "Is there anything else. Anything we didn't discuss that you think we should have." From this point there are really two paths, everyone goes home content and clear or you just opened a new can of worms and your start the process over. You are basically checking to see if your deck was returned cards face up in order or shuffled.

Meet Mr Josué Thomas, The Artist Reimagining Vintage Clothing For Gallery Dept.
Words by Ms Molly Isabella Smith

Mr Josué Thomas, the artist and designer behind new-to-MR-PORTER brand Gallery Dept., can't remember a time when he wasn't creating something. "I've pretty much been doing it all of my life," he says over the phone from Los Angeles, where the brand's studio, workshop and showroom are based. "Both my parents are artists, so it was sort of an innate hobby, drawing and sketching."
If you're thinking Mr Thomas' chosen occupation was inevitable, given the family business, you'd be only half right. His dad, a painter and graphic designer, never pushed him towards a creative career, but he did ensure his son had ready access to supplies. "I don't really remember him sitting down and training or showing me," says Mr Thomas. "I've always had materials and access to resources to create and paint and draw, but honestly, I had an affinity and a passion for doing these things."
His older brother even tried to get him to pursue sports, with some success. "I thought of doing that," he says, but everything, it seems, came back to art. "I would even sketch a lot of Nike shoes, but at the time, I was just a kid doing this."
A fondness for vintage clothes, another childhood passion, serves as the starting point for many of Gallery Dept.'s deconstructed or reimagined pieces. Mr Thomas credits his mother and father's influence for this. "I've always loved collecting and seeing the aged pieces of clothing my parents had," he says. "You know, my dad's old boots, Converse and motorcycle jackets. Early on, I had an aesthetic for certain pieces and I loved something weathered or aged. It has a character, a personality to it."

The founding of Gallery Dept., which remakes and reinterprets vintage pieces in a luxury vein, can best be described as a happy accident. Even when Mr Thomas set it up, he wasn't quite sure what would come of it. "Originally, it was a creative space I had in Downtown Los Angeles," he says. "I thought of it as a place where I have all my tools and mediums. I would have people come over and we would collaborate. It wasn't a brand at the time. It was a concept."
After working as a consultant for fashion labels and dabbling in art direction, Mr Thomas decided to shutter his first location, but the name and the ethos – that of reimagining forgotten items of clothing – stuck.
"Taking something that has a lot of life, something that someone looked at as worthless in a sense, and then making it into something that is precious and beautiful to someone that they want to keep for ever, that was something that I always liked," he says.
He's not one to follow trends mindlessly, either. "I'm not really a 'fashion' person," he says. "I'm more personal style, when it comes to clothing." That philosophy, one that embraces artisanal techniques alongside a down-to-earth, sustainable approach, makes Gallery Dept.'s debut on MR PORTER even more timely.
Here, Mr Thomas, delves into the details behind a handful of designs from the collection.
01. The Good Luck T-shirt
"I love this piece," says Mr Thomas. "I made it around the time I made the 'Stop Being Racist' graphic. It was made on an 8 x 11 hard sheet of paper on cardboard and then I did hand drawings and clipped art from newspapers and magazines. It's a bunch of crazy old stuff I collected. I had a vision for that piece. I executed it exactly how I wanted it. That piece is very relevant for me in these times. If you look at the detail of it, it can be a bit… morbid? I guess that's the word. But I think that's the truth presented and that stuff will always be relevant."
02. The flared carpenter workwear trousers
"The flared silhouette is something we did with denim, at first. I like contrast a lot. I love texture and raw edge and natural imperfections. I took them and imagined the cut and silhouette in that sort of [canvas] fabric. They're such an iconic workwear piece, to get it to be a fashion piece… They encapsulate the ideology of taking something that you might see on a construction worker and then someone wearing it as luxury. The contrast is so high-low."
03. The tie-dye backpack
"Growing up in LA, my mom would make a bunch of tie-dye. You see it all the time out here, year-round. It's very nostalgic for me. That backpack is made from vintage military duffel bag and we reconstructed that using a lot of the handle and zipper details. Again, it's taking something and making something new out of it. I associate a lot of military stuff with hippy stuff."
04. The French logo sweatpants
"I was in France and was inspired by their respect for art and fashion. I was showing in Paris at the time, in a gallery in Le Marais, and a lot of it just clicked. I thought the English version of the brand logo was very strong, but thinking about it being in French, it says the same thing, but it has a totally different feel. Paris definitely feels like I've lived there in a past life. There's another perspective there."
05. The skeletal cherub T-shirt
"That was a tattoo that I designed with a tattoo artist, Shawn Barber. He works mainly with portraiture. That's an original tattoo that I have on my shoulder."
The right Dept.
There are plenty of drainpipe-skinny legs, too, along with crystal-embellished leathers, logo tees and a range of seriously desirable accessories, including next summer's must-have sunglasses shape, the Bug. And we're thrilled to announce that certain items are exclusively available at MR PORTER, including one of our personal highlights, a leather varsity jacket embellished with a motif by Upstate New York artist Mr Scott Daniel Ellison – a part of the collection created in collaboration with 14 of the designer's favourite artists. As ever, Slimane may be a dreamer – but he knows exactly what people want.

By definition, a document frame is designed to hold 11 x 8 1/2" documents, such as diplomas and certificates. Most standard, paper sizes are 11 x 8 1/2", but the great majority of ready-made frames that you find in stores are for photographic sizes, not document sizes (5 x 7, 8 x 10, 11 x 14 etc.). We've gathered here a collection of useful frames by Nielsen Bainbridge and Framatic that were designed for documents and certificates that size.

Eseményfilatélia alatt az olyan bélyeggyűjtést értjük, amikor a gyűjtő egy konkrét ismétlődő vagy évforduló, esemény alkalmi bélyegeit gyűjti. Az eseményfilatélia a tematikus bélyeggyűjtés egyik fajtája. Több formája van: Pl. az olimpiafila (olimpiai témájú bélyegek gyűjtése), személyek (pl. uralkodók, tudósok) születési vagy halálozási évfordulóira kiadott bélyegek gyűjtése, űreseményeket ábrázoló bélyegek gyűjtése, postatörténeti évfordulók.

Az eseményfilatélia a tematikus bélyeggyűjtés szerves része.

Története
Az első olyan alkalom, amikor több ország is ugyanarról a dologról emlékezett meg, 1892–93 között volt, amikor a világ Kolumbusz Kristóf első újvilági felfedezőútjának 400. évfordulóját ünnepelte. Mára ez a kategória a leggyakoribb téma az évfordulók gyűjtésénél, ugyanis azóta az expedíciók 450. és az 500. évfordulója is eltelt, számos újabb bélyegkiadást maga mögött hagyva.

1897–98 között a Brit Birodalom hét országa ötvenhat bélyeget adott ki Viktória brit királynő trónra lépésének gyémántjubileuma alkalmából. Bár akkor maga Nagy-Britannia nem adott ki saját bélyeget, a nevezetes évforduló miatt nagyon sok emlékcímke készült. Ugyanebben az időszakban Portugália gyarmataival együtt bélyegen is megemlékezett Vasco da Gama felfedezőútjairól.

Check your insurance policy and pay attention to the wording on the specification of your external door locks.
3 Lever locks must not be used on external doors as the security they provide is only suitable for internal doors such as bedrooms, offices etc.
Five lever door locks to BS3621 are required for external doors that are normally timber.
Euro type cylinders on multi point locks on doors should be approved to BS EN1303:2005. We recommend anti snap cylinders.
Consider also, one key to suit all. Master Key systems available if you have a number of premises.
Window Locks: Insurance companies like to see that window security is adhered to. All ground floor windows should have locks fitted that are key operated. Any windows that are accessable from flat roofs or other access points on another floor should also fall into this protection.
Think about your upvc windows… do they have the slips on the outside? If so, think about the risk. Check with your supplier and ask if the window pane is bonded in heavily with silicone… If not, you can tun the risk of having the slips removed, the pane lifted out and access is then quite easy. Remedy: Consider fitting internal window locks that are bonded onto the inside of the glass. These can be fitted by a good diy person but please be careful as the adhsive is very strong and if fitted incorrectly then it can be expensive.

To kick off our first search, it's only fitting that we should type in the names of our favorite pups (and Knock Knock mascots), Maisie and Paco.
The first picture that popped up was an odd banner that read "Maisie" over the words "Parallel" and "Simulation." Huh? It appears to have been created in Microsoft WordArt (that 1998 duo-color gradient isn't from just anywhere). So apparently Maisie was a "C-based simulation language" used at UCLA. We may be geeks, but we don't speak computer.
So we moved onto the next photo. At initial glance, the picture is innocent—just a boy holding what seems to be his newborn baby sister. But after digging a little deeper, we came to find that this thirteen-year-old boy from London was said to be the father of baby Maisie.
This Marilyn Manson–meets–Mickey Mouse hybrid is terrifying. (Granted, it was still beautifully shot by Paco Peregrín, a high-profile Spanish fashion and art photographer.) We didn't find the rest of the campaign from which this image derived, but that's probably for the best.

Amazon has terminated an employee based in the company's Staten Island, New York, warehouse after he participated in a worker walkout protesting the company's response to the novel coronavirus. CNN's Christine Romans reports the employee, Christian Smalls, was supposed to be under quarantine.

Amazon has terminated an employee based in the company's Staten Island, New York, warehouse after he participated in a worker walkout protesting the company's response to the novel coronavirus.
Amazon confirmed the firing Monday night, telling CNN Business in a statement that the employee, Christian Smalls, was supposed to be under quarantine.
'Mr. Smalls was found to have had close contact with a diagnosed associate with a confirmed case of COVID-19 and was asked to remain home with pay for 14 days, which is a measure we're taking at sites around the world,' said Amazon spokesperson Kristen Kish. 'Despite that instruction to stay home with pay, he came onsite today, March 30, putting the teams at risk.'
The firing follows the protest partly organized by Smalls, who had called on Amazon to shut down the Staten Island facility for deep cleaning after multiple cases of the coronavirus emerged there. In an interview on Sunday, Smalls told CNN he had spent the past week trying to persuade senior warehouse officials to close the building and sterilize it, but to no avail.
New York is grappling with the worsening coronavirus outbreak. The state has seen more than 66,000 people sickened by the virus, and more than 1,000 deaths.
Monday's protest saw more than a dozen people walk off the job at around lunchtime, according to Amazon and a livestream of the event viewed by CNN.
In a phone interview Monday night after his firing, Smalls said he is being singled out for punishment and that his firing reflects a culture of apathy at Amazon.
'Everybody's been warning me that [this] might happen, so I kinda expected it,' Smalls said. 'But for them to do it this way, and for the reasoning behind it, that tells you right there that they, number one, don't care about people, and number two, it's just a target, a straight up target.'
Smalls said he next intends to visit City Hall to persuade local government officials to intervene.
New York Attorney General Letitia James said late Monday evening that 'it is disgraceful that Amazon would terminate an employee who bravely stood up to protect himself and his colleagues.'
'At the height of a global pandemic, Chris Smalls and his colleagues publicly protested the lack of precautions that Amazon was taking to protect them from COVID-19,' she said. 'Today, Chris Smalls was fired. In New York, the right to organize is codified into law, and any retaliatory action by management related thereto is strictly prohibited.'
James also called for an investigation by the National Labor Relations Board. On Tuesday, Smalls told CNN that he intends to file a complaint with the NLRB.
'Legal action will be taken in due time,' Smalls said.
