Garman was one of the around 10,000 engineers hired by NASA as the space agency worked to achieve President John F. Kennedy's "goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth." Garman wanted to work with computers, and was assigned to the Apollo Guidance Program Section. On July 20, 1969, moments before mankind's first attempted landing on the moon, Neil Armstrong called in a problem: an alarm code flashed by Eagle's crude computer. "Program alarm," Armstrong, radioed. "It's a 1202." Few at Mission Control had any idea what "1202" meant, but everyone was aware that the spacecraft was running critically low on fuel. "When I heard Neil say 1202 for the first time," said astronaut Charlie Duke, who was CAPCOM (the Capsule Communicator, talking to the crew), "I tell you, my heart hit the floor." Even the Guidance Officer, Steve Bales, didn't know if "1202" was a real problem on not, so he quickly asked Garman, then 24 years old, what to do. That put Garman on the spot: if the error could be safely ignored, the mission might succeed. If it couldn't, the mission had to be aborted. The safe thing would be to abort, at the cost of failing to achieve the goal and disappointing a huge percentage of humanity, watching the landing attempt live. If Garman was wrong, everyone watching might instead witness the astronauts' deaths in real time. Garman had only a second or two to decide. "I said," he remembered later, "As long as it doesn't reoccur, it's fine." Garman's reputation and career were at stake: he would either be a hero, or a scapegoat — there was little room anywhere in between. But he had studied every aspect of the software's operation, even going so far as purposefully triggering "fatal" errors in simulations, and was confident in his answer.

Yet Armstrong called in more errors. Each time, controllers went straight to Garman. "I remember distinctly yelling — by this time yelling, you know, in the [voice communications] loop here — 'Same type!'" Garman said. "I licked my dry lips. This was a time for discipline," said Eagle's lunar module pilot, astronaut Buzz Aldrin. "But the tension had me rigid in my suit. We had to trust Mission Control." He told Armstrong: "We're go. Same type. We're go." Then the radio went silent, and everyone in Mission Control — and the world — waited to hear what happened. Moments later, Armstrong radioed home, "Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed." The spacecraft had only about 25 seconds of fuel left. The alarms meant the computer was overloaded, but Armstrong, who had practiced the landing many times in a simulator, adjusted attitude slightly to reduce the load on the computer, and was able to land successfully. Later in his career, Garman was part of the team which figured out how to get the Apollo 13 crew back alive after a critical accident on the way to the moon. For that, the team was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Garman rose to Deputy Director of Mission Support, and Chief Information Officer, for the Johnson Space Center, before leaving NASA in 2000 to work in private aerospace industry. "You don't realize until years later, actually, how doing the wrong thing at the right time could have changed history," he said. Garman, who still lived in the Houston area, died September 20, from bone marrow cancer. He was 72.

Vaughan Frederick Randal Jones, né le  à Gisborne en Nouvelle-Zélande et mort le  à Nashville (Tennessee), est un mathématicien néo-zélandais, connu pour son travail sur les algèbres de von Neumann, la théorie des nœuds et la théorie conforme des champs.

Biographie
Vaughan Jones passe sa jeunesse à Cambridge. Il étudie à l'université d'Auckland, puis à l'université de Genève, où il fait sa thèse de doctorat sous la direction d'André Haefliger. Il voyage ensuite beaucoup. Vaughan Jones est professeur à l'université de Californie à Berkeley de 1985 à 2011, puis à l'université Vanderbilt, et professeur émérite à l'université d'Auckland. Il dirige plus de trente thèses de doctorat dans sa carrière.

Son travail concernant les , avec sa découverte de ce qu'on appelle maintenant le polynôme de Jones, est parti d'un développement dans une direction inattendue du domaine de l'analyse fonctionnelle, déjà rénové par Alain Connes. Cela a permis de résoudre de nombreux problèmes en théorie des nœuds et a accru l'intérêt pour la topologie en basses dimensions.

Ces recherches lui valent la médaille Fields en 1990, récompense qu'il partage avec Witten pour des travaux liés à la physique : Witten trouve une relation entre le polynôme de Jones et la théorie quantique des champs.

Outre la médaille Fields, Jones est élu Fellow de la Royal Society en 1990, membre de l'American Academy of Arts and Sciences en 1993 et de la National Academy of Sciences en 1999. Il est président de l'American Mathematical Society en 2004 et vice-président de l'Union mathématique internationale en 2014. En Nouvelle-Zélande, il devient compagnon distingué de l'ordre du Mérite en 2002.

Médaille Jones

La Médaille Jones est décernée par la Société royale de Nouvelle-Zélande tous les deux ans depuis 2010.

The Geosciences have the lowest representation of people from underrepresented groups of any of the STEM disciplines (Minority Participation in University Programs, AGI Currents #30, 2010). Part of the solution can be found in the need for a broad-based marketing campaign to advertise the career possibilities in the Geosciences. The American Geosciences Institute Status of the Geoscience Workforce 2014 Report documents an extended growth of 10-30% for geoscientists (depending on sub-discipline) into the next decade. This information should be made broadly accessible to high school teachers and counselors, STEM faculty in 2YCs, to parents, and to the general public. It is also important to understand the career aspirations and motivations of today's students, and to be able to demonstrate how the Geosciences can lead to a personally fulfilling career.
We have adopted the American Geosciences Institute 's (AGI) working definition of "the geosciences" as explained in Appendix A of the Status of the Geoscience Workforce 2014 report.
Our project aims to consider both the educational pathways and professional work consistent with this broad definition of "the geosciences."

The Social Entrepreneurship in Uganda Supported by Kao Presents at Side Event of the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7)
With the goal of realizing cleanliness and hygienic habits promoting health for people around the world as well as a society in which everyone can live in comfort, Kao Group began partnering with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)*1 in February 2019. Kao is providing funding to EcoSmart Uganda Ltd., a startup company founded by five young social entrepreneurs in Uganda with the aim of domestically producing sanitary napkins, to support this social entrepreneurship.
* 1 UN organization that partners with governments and non-governmental organizations to address population-related problems, mainly in developing countries. UNFPA strategically addresses global-scale problems that impact, and are impacted by, population, with a focus on the areas of population and development, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and gender equality. UNFPA is currently implementing a wide range of programs in more than 150 countries and areas, encompassing sexual and reproductive health, maternal health, poverty, gender equality, human rights, youth, HIV/AIDS, and emergency aid.
At an official side event symposium, titled Unleashing the Power of Women and Girls in Africa —Social Business and Social Entrepreneurship to Achieve Transformative Change (co-hosted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), City of Yokohama, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan), of the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7)*2 held on August 28, Ms. Noel Aryanyijuka, CEO of EcoSmart Uganda Ltd. presented as a panelist.
* 2 TICAD stands for Tokyo International Conference on African Development. The government of Japan has been leading this conference since 1993, co-hosted by United Nations, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), World Bank and African Union Commission (AUC). This year's TICAD was held on August 28-30, 2019 in Yokohama, Japan.
Ms. Aryanyijuka presenting at the symposium
In the symposium, following the key note speech by Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Board Chair, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance*3 , a lively panel discussion was held by four African entrepreneurs. Ms. Aryanyijuka explained the issues that women in Uganda currently face, in which they cannot afford to purchase sanitary napkins, and instead use old cloths or other substitutes, which sometimes result in severe infections. She said that all women should have access to menstrual hygiene management and be able to live in dignity as active members of society during their menstrual cycle by enabling EcoSmart to produce and sell low-cost sanitary napkins in Uganda.
* 3 A public-private partnership established in 2000 with the purpose of protecting the lives of children and people's health by improving the immunization rate in developing countries.
Kao invited Ms. Aryanyijuka to its Tochigi Plant where sanitary products are manufactured and Sanitary Products Research Laboratories on the day following the event (August 29). Kao gave her a tour of the manufacturing line for sanitary napkins and she exchanged views with its researchers on the concept of manufacturing, and so on.
Kao Group will promote its unique ESG activities on a global level for the wholehearted satisfaction and enrichment of people's lives worldwide and to contribute to social sustainability.

Why do you get up in the morning? What is the purpose of going to work everyday, pursuing a mate, and having children? Is it to grab greedily for every morsel of Earthly spoils, without regard for anything, or anyone else?
We lack understanding for the concept of co-existence and the intelligence to align our behavior to a Universal Purpose harmonious with Nature.
If you claim alliance to any nation or any subset of specialists, you are still an Earthling first and foremost, and our collective participation adds up to the quality of life we now experience. Are you satisfied with the way things are? Do you think within the confines of humanities artificial and unsustainable systems? What do you revere?
With a common objective and understanding the interdependence of all things, we might have a payer. There is only one question to ask when making any decision, or taking action, in any human context be it private or political = Is this a healthy thing to do? Your heart always knows the answer.
It is our shared responsibility to codiscover and cocreate a healthy society. More >

Well, I don't post here often, yet I always want to believe that this community has more on the ball than those social clones who go through the motions of living without considering the consequences of those actions that nurture corporate culture. Along with the negative energy expended chasing a blind path to money, there are efforts being made to form a healthy consciousness. I write this melancholy note memory of fundamental principles that use to guide us to make good social and political decisions.
It seems we should give thanks for those who fought and died for our nationhood, but the more important thing to ponder, is how we can get out of the cycle of killing to solve a problem.
I have witnessed a few things lately that all illuminate the fact that most all of our systems of economics and government are broken, now failing to produce results that seemed so promising in the beginning. The America I was born into had some corruption, don't know why - it wasn't necessary, yet the lack of ethics in this time is striking.
The 'Arts' are in trouble and artisans are struggling unless they have corporate clients. It is harder than ever for an individual to succeed as a sole proprietorship. The music industry is failing. I have friends that are going into teaching art because they can't survive as freelancers.
I am saddened that only three of the Presidents of the past fifty years made an effort to place us on a course of healthy social change, the most recent being Jimmy Carter. In this election year there is much talk about taking back America without saying how that will be accomplished, or how we will forge a new form of living that is sustainable and joyful. Our heads are not together, We are selfish and ignorant that we are living on borrowed investment without making any new commitments to the future.
I am a hostage to the oil companies every time a fill my car with gas. Gee, how come I can't buy a car that runs on vegetable products, alcohol, or something renewable, something we don't have to fight for to sustain an unhealthy standard of living?
Diversity in general is vanishing. Large companies are forcing little guys out of business and we are helping them do it. We must make a world that provides grand diversity and supports all the gifts that all people have to offer.
I fear these are some signs of worse times to come, wondering how bad things will get before we get off a dime and do something for the right reasons, considering the rate of inflation we better get off the buck!

Shared Purpose 1 comment
2 Dec 2003 @ 15:12
It is our shared purpose to co-discover and co-create a Healthy Society.
Through ongoing political and media references planet-wide, human society has become divided by labeling one segment of the population from another, based on any criteria that some people might share. We often reference the 'Poor,' 'Immigrants,' 'Communists,' Conservatives,' 'Scientists,' 'The Homeless' and the like, in a very long list of subgroups of human beings. This activity is useful on a superficial basis and yet it conditions our minds to believe that different groups of people have different basic needs, or that one group is not entitled to the same liberties as another group. This seeds prejudice, bias, segregation and war! It seems that we have set ourselves up in competition with one another, disconnected our global human family artificially, for special interests not associated with the general welfare. I believe it is important to understand and visualize that we are one family with the same basic needs for survival, no matter where you live, what religion you practice, how much money you have, your sex, age, or the color of your skin.
In order to govern ourselves equitably, it is vital that social and political agendas focus to provide infrastructure and resources to support human life consistently. The first meaning of life is to survive and so this is what we are trying to do. However, we have been making feeble attempts on a limited basis which are not sustainable. If we hope for a better future, we must identify and practice shared purpose in a way that preserves human diversity.
What we are looking for is the most basic form of Universal Philosophy that all people can relate to and participate in. This is a valuable goal. Let us not confuse the intellectual pursuit of meta-physical philosophy with this practical need to have a clear incentive for living and working together. Why do you get up in the morning?
The opening statement is designed for ALL people to comprehend, to be profound, truthful and trustworthy. It makes no judgements, but sets before us the core challenge that has always been and always will be our true path. It provides the primary goal of making a healthy society and instructs that we must learn what a "Healthy Society" is. The use of the word "Healthy" is the key governor to making responsible individual and group decisions in any situation. If this statement (or similar statement) is adopted and applied, it becomes difficult to argue or hold conflict against a healthy course. War is not healthy, nor is smoking, lying, or taking more than one needs from the planet.
To include context for our place in the cosmos and respect for the environment a variation on the statement would be:
It is our shared purpose to co-discover and co-create a Healthy Society co-existing in harmony with nature.
The Conscious Evolution Community of Santa Barbara made this statement of shared purpose on 29 April 2003:
"Our purpose is to be a habitat for conscious evolution. Recognizing our oneness with Spirit, we co-create with each other and Nature's Intelligence to discover and contribute our genius for self and social benefit."
I urge that we concentrate on the subject of shared purpose and place our energies on aligning our dreams and actions with the essential need to form a common, positive foundation for our evolution.

It is sad for me to see the frittering of human energy on pointless finger pointing and self-defensive justification in the addictive need to be right. As this is the sum of most social activity on NCN, I have abstained to participate.
There is no regulation for ethical behavior in private or public circumstances. Moral performance is self directed and not due to external influences, because deep inside we know instinctively what is good and what is bad. I have urged in the past that we take full responsibility for our actions and cease blaming others for our weaknesses.
Many logs and comments disrespect the reader as another animal being with feelings, experience and intelligence. We are all children, all interdependent on each other for the quality of life we live collectively.
Tolerance and forgiveness reign supreme, so let us not abuse those we meet in retaliation for a mistake, or think that we don't need to be forgiven. We can turn the other cheek to demonstrate our love and die without question for the right to exist in peace. We can only conquer evil hearts when we avoid joining their ranks.
How do you think Civilization is made?

I imagine that there have been many postings about the war-mongering going on, some pro and some con, so I make this post to place my picture of center in the log annals of NCN.
I believe that the human race has to find a different way of living, where competition and squabbling over natural resources is handled in any way that is healthful, hopeful, non-aggressive, and of course non-violent. At the same time, citizens must not empower their governments to make war, in business, technology, or with political support, or we will remain buried in our destructive stupidity as a species. The wave of new consciousness has revealed once again the undeniable reasoning that Love is all you need, not to mention that you can't be here without it. Let us keep our hearts tuned to cocreating a society of peace, specially after the dust settles from this immediate skirmish.
My heart is particularly touched by those mislead and ungrounded family members who are willing to prepare for and die in a violent conflict. Most are impressionably young and ignorant of the consequences their actions will bring to generations that follow. I see no glory in wasting any life, nothing is won, yet much is lost.
I rest now in prayer of thanks for all those selfless warriors risking loss of life and to those relatives that no longer dwell in the body.

Subject: A week like no other.
Date: 23 Jan 2003 03:59:49 -0000
From: "Eli Pariser, MoveOn.org" moveon-help@list.moveon.org
To: "Mark Smollin"
Dear MoveOn member,
Thank you. This week exceeded our wildest dreams.
Our plan was to launch an anti-war television ad campaign, hold 12 local press conferences, grow our "Let the Inspections Work" petition, and have meetings in Congressional offices around the country. We knew it would be big. But we never thought it would be this big.
That we were able to reach so far and do so much is because of you.
You made it all possible.
We didn't expect, frankly, to have 100,000 new members join our organization this week. We didn't expect to be able to deliver a petition with over 310,000 American signers -- the largest since MoveOn's inception. (We're told that when Senator Diane Feinstein's aide saw the petition, his eyes opened wide. He said that this was the biggest petition he recalled them receiving. Feinstein's segment was over 8,000 pages long.)
We never thought that our ad -- carrying the "Let the Inspections Work" message -- would be aired on virtually every major TV news show. We never thought George Stephanopoulos would show it to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and grill him on the dangers of war. We never imagined it would be broadcast and discussed on news programs in Australia, Pakistan, Russia, and Japan.
We didn't anticipate that a new national poll, taken on the very days our story was playing everywhere, would show public support for war plummeting, or that this poll would be the top story in today's Washington Post.
We didn't anticipate that local press conferences, staffed by MoveOn members in 12 cities, would generate front-page stories on the new breadth and tactics of the anti-war movement.
And then there are the Congressional meetings.
We had high hopes for the meetings that occurred yesterday in Congressional districts across the country. After all, 9,000 folks had signed up to participate, and we had an incredible team of over 800 local volunteers and 12 tireless volunteer regional coordinators who were working to set everything up. But, after a week of continual surprises, our expectations yesterday were once again exceeded.
One comment sums up the experience of many:
"It was fantastic! Probably the best meeting I've ever been at - ever. 18 regular people who came together as strangers, were in agreement with one another, speaking eloquently, passionately, respectfully and from the heart." The member went on to say, "As a former Congressional staff person, I know this was truly impactful and meaningful."
The impact was pretty clear. Yesterday alone, over 30 members of Congress signed onto a Dear Colleague letter to the President, asking him to let the inspectors do their jobs and abide by the UN process. It's pretty remarkable -- Congress is taking up our petition. And more signers keep coming in. In one of our most exciting moments, a pro-war-resolution Representative took a look at the letter, listened to our members, and then signed on the spot. Now that's democracy in action!
The Dear Colleague letter is just the beginning. One Representative from Maryland is taking our petition to the floor of the House of Representatives. Another offered us space in his offices to do more anti-war organizing. One enthusiastic Representative is even going to join MoveOn.
>From Maine to Florida to Arkansas to Washington State, from Grand Rapids, MI to Huntington, AL, diverse, articulate groups of MoveOn members got together to talk to the offices of their Senators and Representatives. Local newspapers, TV and radio stations covered the events, from the Denver Post to Pacifica Radio.
The meetings themselves were simply incredible. But you don't need to take our word for it. Here are a few short samples from the hundreds of reports that have been pouring in:
"The voices of several veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars, of a VA doctor, a pediatrician, other doctors, nurses, retirees, teachers, grandparents, a law student, one after another, built a strong case for encouraging Kolbe to urge Bush to give stronger support for the Inspections Process. It was a bit uncanny. Not practiced, nor planned, but one by one, each person integrated his/her contributions into what had been said before. This was a very intelligent, well-informed, professionally-diverse, group of people, speaking in one voice for winning the peace, without war." --Martha Warner, Congressman Kolbe meeting, AZ
"I was so proud to be associated with the group that showed up to Congressman Tancredo's office! They were an eclectic group of housewives with children, high-powered businessmen, grandmas, artists, executives, PhD's -- and each spoke with such grace and eloquence. It was just amazing." --Carol Grant, Congressman Tancredo meeting, CO
"An interesting and exciting outcome of the event is that the Congressman agreed to lead a rally on Feb. 17th of many different coalitions. His feeling is that it's up to the public to voice their opposition--that's the only thing that will make legislators oppose the President. I/we will be working with him to make this next event a success." --Sheryl Barajas, Congressman Davis meeting, IL
"I was glad I made the drive, it was quite an honor to join with these good folks. A varied group--three women, four guys...a retired Quaker (though Quakers never retire thank god), a Methodist minister & active lay person, a retired fighter pilot who is a Republican, a social scientist, a person who had lived in Kuwait and an anthraxed postal worker. We were together for just an hour but it was a good gathering to share & express our concerns." --Mike DeGregory, Congressman Smith, NJ
"This was my first time ever taking any initiative in political action, and although it was a little scary, I'm really glad I did it, as I received nothing but positive feedback and support from everyone. People really wanted to come out and do this." --Rachel Smith, Congressman Neal meeting, MA
"Rep. Cummings pledged to sign the Dear Colleague letter and also said he would speak about the MoveOn statement and visit on the house floor. He also said he would read comments from the summary of our petition. " --Kimberly Nolan, Congressman Cummings meeting, MD
"[Congressman Holt] quoted Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's address at Riverside Church: We are building a political myth and shoring it up with new violence. (Dr. King's reference to Vietnam still rings true today.)" -- Mara Isaacs, Congressman Holt meeting, NJ
"[Congresswoman] Stephanie Tubbs Jones made a last- minute decision to meet with us personally, and proceeded to sit and speak for an hour. . . She was very pleased to receive a copy of the petition with names and address . . . and VERY excited to hear that ours was one of many coordinated events nationwide." --John Sinclair, Congresswoman Jones meeting, OH
"[Rep. Bartlett's aide Mr.] Otis was clearly impressed by the number of signatories from the Congressman's District, and promised that he would see the petition and the "Dear Colleague letter." He also commented "You have represented your cause very well." " --Gladys Cojocari, Congressman Bartlett meeting, MD
We hope to have a full report on the media coverage for the last week and these lobbying visits up on our website soon. We'll let you know when it's there.
As you can see, we are a force to be reckoned with. So what are our next steps?
Over the next few weeks, we'll be offering you all sorts of ways to continue to engage on this issue. One way to plug in is coming up pretty soon. Win Without War, the coalition of mainstream civic organizations against the war that we helped to found, is calling for a day of local action on January 29th. Members of the coalition include American Friends Service Commitee, Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities, Conference of Major Superiors of Men, Global Exchange, Greenpeace, Leadership Conference of Women Religious, NAACP, National Council of Churches, National Organization for Women, NETWORK, New England Health Care Employees Union (part of SEIU), Physicians for Social Responsibility, Sierra Club, Sojourners, Tikkun Community, TrueMajority, United Methodist Church General Board of Church & Society, Us Foundation, Veterans for Common Sense, Women's Action for New Directions, and Working Assets. Look for events organized by some of these groups in your community on the 29th. You may find local events listed at [link] .
The national meetings project and our work for the last week was made possible by the exceedingly hard work of hundreds of volunteers and scores of local and national organizations. We deeply appreciate the assistance that we have received -- we couldn't have pulled this off without help.
Very special thanks goes to the tireless team of volunteer regional coordinators, who worked around the clock to make the meetings happen. They are: Caitlin Fitzgerald, Judy Froman, Diane Jones, June Muller, Jennifer Oatfield, Jesse Rhodes, Henry Snow, and Hedy Trevino.
Thanks also to: Sarah Allen, Ira Arlook, Parker Blackman, Sarah Buecher, David Cortright, Lynn Erskine, Philip Fryers, David Fenton, Trevor Fitzgibbon, Patrick Kane, Elinore Klein, Kalee Kreider, Dwight Langham, Pacy Markman, Brendan McCarthy, Segundo Mercado-Llorens, Christy Meiring, Alistair Millar, Nathan Naylor, Lindsay Reinhardt, Dora Rose, Noah T. Winer, and Bill Zimmerman.
It's usually our practice to credit by name the local leaders whose incredibly hard work made this all possible. But in this case, the list of leaders would double the length of this email. All the folks who helped put together local meetings and press conferences have our gratitude and appreciation -- they're heroes and true patriots.
We also appreciate support for the meetings project from the following organizations: Friends Committee on National Legislation, the American Friends Service Committee, the National Council of Churches, TrueMajority, Peace Action, and Women's Action for New Directions.
The last thank you goes to every one of MoveOn's members. It is an honor and an incredible privilege to work with such an amazing group of people -- a group that is changing the face of this country and turning the tide against a war. The Washington Post poll released today showed support for the war plummeting. That's because of our work.
The stakes are high, folks. This war is a menace to our country and our world. But the last week has shown that an enormous group of Americans are going to do everything in their power to ensure that a peaceful resolution is reached. So we really mean this: Thank you.
Sincerely, --Carrie, Eli, Joan, Peter, Randall, Wes, and Zack The MoveOn Team January 22, 2002
P.S. MoveOn does all this with only four full-time staff members (Wes and Joan volunteer). If you'd like to support our work, you can give online at:

Genetic Proof Of Oneness 8 comments
Last night (1/21/2003) PBS aired a show titled "The Journey Of Man," which profiles the work of geneticist Spencer Wells, who also stars in the two-hour episode. This program is based on fifteen years of research profiling the genetic codes in thousands of blood samples taken from all known ethnic groups around the world. It was not possible to do this science prior to genetic testing technologies on blood.
It's now official! Just in case there was any doubt in your mind about where you come from, where your roots are, or who you are related to, Spencer has proven that we are all of the same extended human family. By tracking a Y chromosome marker passed on to each generation through men, he has plotted the path of human migration over the entire planet from a single tribe in Namibia, Africa beginning 50,000 years ago. We are all their children. We are all related to people of all cultures, religions and skin colors.
So now I feel obligated to wish everyone of you family members belated happy birthdays wishes and missed holiday greetings. Please take good care of all my cousins, aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, nieces, nephews and send photos often so I can keep track of my six-billion relatives!
Hugs and Kisses From Your Brother > > > Mark

NEW STYLE THINKING 10 comments
"NEW STYLE THINKING" is not new, but Patricia Sun's (Former Wisdom Radio Host) way of describing an emerging consciousness that trumps our standard concepts of existence, which are outdated and regress from the wisdom of the ages. My spouse has been using these three words in log comments to inspire a different perspective of mind, yet it has raised some questions about what new style thinking is. This post attempts to explain the context.
New Style Thinking is a state of mind that recognizes a Universal reverence for all things and is demonstrated by behavior that is Loving.
Old Style Thinking in comparison, is a state of mind that places an arbitrary value on a restricted set of things and is demonstrated by behavior that is dominantly Selfish.
As members of western culture we are conditioned to believe certain things are cool and to do things that are found to be socially acceptable regardless of their merit, feasibility, value, or sustainability. We are drawn to conform because we want to be accepted by the group, however this minimizes diversity and weakens us as a species. We often do things without ever stopping to think about them philosophically, or about the consequences. Standing on the shoulders of our foreparents doesn't mean their foundation is strong or wise in all cases.
As technology advance has insulated us from having to know the true meaning of life and it does little to develop our character as spiritual beings. No matter how much we may learn about science, and no matter how powerful our technology becomes, these accomplishments are virtually useless unless we apply them to benevolent goals. The missing piece of the equation is of moral concern. Without ethics nothing will work on a sustainable basis, so it would be advantageous to work on our human character as hard as we do to gain technical knowledge.
In Cosmological terms success has nothing to do with money, it has everything to do with being healthy. Understanding that any non-productive person is a triple tax on the productive people, our obvious task is to support 6.2 billion people equitably. Without an even and fair distribution of resources we will be chained to the cycles of greed wars and fail to experience peace.
New Style Thinking would define thoughts that are relevant to reform our old-style-ways with new healthy ones. I believe our frontier resides in understanding the human mind, learning what we really are as human beings and coming to grips with our less attractive qualities. We are the least efficient animals on the planet and that has caused us to reach this threshold in our evolution.
Let us find the presence of mind to contribute only constructive energy to life. Do we need laws or rules when we choose to act responsibly and unselfishly. We should demand peace and good will of others, and so we should do our best to act that way as ourselves. Anything outside that realm is not loving, nor considered New Style Thinking, regardless of intent.

All aboard new bus for Mount Druitt Hospital volunteers, courtesy of generous donation
14 Mar, 2017, 3:39 pm 22 Mar, 2017, 1:34 pm Western Sydney LHD 0 Comments Mount Druitt, Volunteer Appreciation Day, volunteers
All aboard new bus for Mount Druitt Hospital volunteers, courtesy of the generous donation by Sargents Pies
Mount Druitt Hospital's hard-working volunteers have taken the first journey behind the wheel of their new transport service bus after it was officially handed over on Tuesday (March 14, 2017).
The 14-seat Toyota Hitachi commuter bus, which was gifted on NSW Health's Volunteer Appreciation Day, was one of several donations from Sargents Pies Charitable Foundation, which has been supporting western Sydney hospitals for more than seven years.
The volunteer transport bus service offers free transport for patients to doctors, hospitals (Mount Druitt, Blacktown and Westmead) and a variety of western Sydney clinics and health facilities.
Mount Druitt Hospital general manager Sue-Anne Redmond said the volunteers' bus was definitely in need of an upgrade.
"The old bus, which was acquired through raffles and donations run by the volunteers nearly eight years ago, had run up 300,000km and was becoming increasingly unreliable," she said.
"This is an extremely valuable service to the Mount Druitt community and we are so grateful for the contribution of the volunteers who give their time to make this service possible."
"Many patients who use the bus have no other mode of transport to get to the clinics or facilities and often rely on walking frames. The volunteer transport service is able to park close to buildings to drop off and pick up patients, minimising walking distance, and the driver also assists patients to get on and off the bus."
My Westmead Partnerships Manager Susie Saba said the foundation was thankful for Sargents' continued support. "Thanks to Sargents' generosity, the bus was recently funded, making a difference to the nearly 300 patients transported each month.
Sargents Pies Charitable Foundation representative Brian Andrews said the organisation was thrilled to be involved: "the Sargents Pies Charitable foundation is pleased to be able to provide a new bus to make the work done by the volunteers who give their time to assist patients in getting to their appointments on time at the hospitals without the worry of an unreliable vehicle."
Sargents' generosity goes beyond the bus – in 2016, Sargents generously helped fund Fabian ventilators, which were attached to the emergency transport shuttles that move critically unwell babies between hospitals for urgent surgery. Sargents had previously donated the shuttles and were thrilled to later provide the PIES (pre-term intensive emergency support).
Additionally, Sargents' funding has also provided vital equipment for the new skills and simulation lab at Blacktown Hospital, where students completing their HSC learn basic nursing skills such as taking vital signs, pulse and blood pressure, bathing patients, performing simple dressings, basic life support and other routine tasks.
And last but not least, to build on the success of the previously funded exercise equipment for Westmead Hospital's Redbank House, this year, the introduction of an exercise physiologist – generously funded by Sargents – will further develop the children's ability to manage stress and anxiety both at home and at school.

Q: Stop single QModelIndex from being update I have a QTreeView with data that changes over time, with a dataChanged signal being emitted in the QAbstractItemModel every second. The items in the QTreeView can be edited as well, but when a editor is opened for a certain item the editor string is updated while I edit is, which is very annoying. Any way to prevent an editor to be updated with the new values?

A: Do you use your own model with QTreeView? In this case you overwrite it and not return any data for Qt::EditRole. If it is not convenient for you (you want to have the current data in the field when you begin to edit it), then you could create your own QItemDelegate/QStyledItemDelegate and implement some custom logic there: make it so the  widget is not updated with new value, when it has focus, for example.
Althought I might be missing something, and there is an easier way to do this.


It happens all the time. Either we see something someone else has or we see something advertised and we gotta have it. We think, they have it, why can't I? It may not even be impulsive; we could be thinking about it for days, and we decide we want it.
My late mother used to say, "Anything worth having is worth waiting for." She was right. Saving up for something makes you feel good when you go to purchase it; it's really yours. I learned this as a child; many times I would save for something, then go to the store to buy it only to realize I didn't really want it after all.
If you have a lot of debt, and you know you should be paying it off before you buy something frivolous because you'll be going further into debt with the purchase, think about using that money to pay off your debt and how you'll feel when that debt is paid off. Or, if you have to go into debt to begin with by making the purchase, how you'll feel when the bill comes.
This is not to say you shouldn't reward yourself; after all, when you're on a diet you can eat chocolate cake sometimes.
When you see someone with something you really want, stop and ask yourself how they may have aquired it. Perhaps Aunt Martha died and left them the Lexus. That new grill? Could be they had to put $2,500 on their credit card; would you want that?
I do all the time when it comes to food. Most people do when it comes to buying things; they'll rationalize why they should have it. Every time you catch yourself rationalizing why you should have something, think about why you shouldn't have it. That way least you'll have the pros and the cons.
Yeah, I know all these things we see advertised are alluring. But think about how quickly things become obsolete in our techological world. 4-D is better that 3-D! Also remember the price of things go down pretty quickly; flat screen TVs used to cost as much as a small car a few years ago.
Was there a time when you just couldn't snap yourself out of keeping up appearances? Let me know in the comments below.

Edwards Moore were commissioned by Krozm film directors to design and construct the set for their Ricki Lee music video clip. Their brief was to create a 'diamond throne' which would not only be for her to sit but also act as a backdrop for the clip. Our response to the brief was to develop a fractalised 'diamond' landscape. The landscape was designed to radiate from the centre of the space, a warehouse in Melbourne's docklands, and culminate in the 'throne' which was accentuated by the use of programmable LED light sticks. The landscape was then lit to varying degrees to produce the sense of depth and perspective within the set.
The structure was built within a day by the Edwards Moore studio team and Exit films production team and was erected using pine battens and 2 way stretch white cotton. The radial effect was created by installing rope from the central point to the warehouse perimeter, allowing the elements to be mounted to the ropes and enhance the radial nature of the set design. Upon completion of the clip the set was then used by a projection artist as an installation piece prior to being dismantled. The minimal use of material meant there was little waste created and all lighting elements were hired. The environmental impact of the overall project was minimised through the design approach, as well as ensuring the clip could be shot on location in Melbourne, which minimised a significant amount of air travel which would have been required of the production team.

Did you know I make each and every piece of pottery I sell? ( If you didn't you should!) While I do have some of the greatest studio assistants ever, I have not ever had anyone else make the pots I paint and carve my designs on. Somehow it just isn't right for my process in clay. I have to throw the clay and make each and every piece. Some days it's exhausting, but mostly it's awesome. Throwing is THE thing that excited me most about ceramics as a young kid, and it's still the place I love to be. Sitting at my wheel, making pots, wearing my fancy clothes. ( Ha!) Mostly I resemble a hobo, and often don't bother laundering my throwing clothes until they're really really dirty. Why waste the water, if they're just going to get all mucked up again tomorrow?
By far and away the most popular shape is my mugs. It's the form I'm most often making in the studio. I start with between 1 -1 & 1/4 pounds of clay. After throwing I place them on a board. I call this a rack. Each fits ~16 cups. ( I call anything with a handle a mug, and without a handle a cup) I think of each rack like a dye lot. Its a small group, all born at the same time. Sometimes they're almost identical, sometimes more like second cousins. See?
After the cups set up, and become what we call leather hard, I clean up the bottoms of them. Leather hard is the stage at which the pots have lost some of the moisture added in the throwing process and are hard enough to retain their shape. The pots are still wet enough to add another piece of clay to.
All of my handles start with "carrots". I take a larger chunk of clay and break off smaller pieces, roll them on my plaster table into little carrots. One side is tapered and the other stubby. I stack a bunch of them in formation, enough for a rack or two of cups.
I hold the stubby end in my left hand and pull the clay with my wet right hand. The result is a larger version of the handle that ends up on the mug.
These set up for a few hours and then I marry the handle and the cup and behold, a mug is born! Pretty Cool.

Glad you like it! I have a few more of those up my sleeve.
Thanks for helping me reach a professional milestone. I have always longed to be in the company of Sesame Street. Maybe I can show Elmo how a pot is made?


Great company to work with! Glad we were able to find a local company to help with our website changes and marketing efforts.
James Webster is one of the best men I know, and I highly recommend both him and GroFire. If you need a website or want to dramatically improve your digital marketing efforts, contact them.
We loved working with GroFire. They were extremely professional and took care and continues to take care of any issues we have with our website. We are very happy with how the website turned out. Thanks GroFire!!!!
Our company hired GroFire to look over our company websites and help improve them. They were very helpful in giving us options that fit our budget. They knew of all the latest and greatest features that a real estate company would want. They are low pressure and high on knowledge.
We pride ourselves in developing the best and most effective marketing products and strategies for our clients to increase market visibility, improve image, and solidify customer relations and returns on marketing dollars.


A lot of issues are vehicles for more than just transportation comfort and. We like to look them up for work but all sorts of heavier larger items in them move the team around town or just fill them up for a weekend. Many of us pulled trailers boats and all sorts of work related items. And some of us simply one more ride control performance that came on the vehicle originally.
KYB has a solution for all of these demands conditions arriving. Physical pain from the factory equipped with a mono to design shock absorber now the owner wants to restore the handling and control the what the vehicle had originally became widely yes it just is the right product. These vehicles came from the factory with a twin tube design shock absorber the gas a just as a great choice when you want to upgrade the performance of the suspension over the vehicle's original design let's take a closer look at why gas adjust is a great choice for all of these vehicles. Welcome to the key YB garage I'm mac this is Erin and this is the gas adjust shock absorber view here http://turnitupmedia.com. Now the name gassy just stands for gas automatic adjust.
Simply put the gas adjust will outperform the average twin tube design found on most vehicles and it has a unique ability to deliver more performance just when it's needed since some vehicles come from the factory already equipped with a higher performing mono to design came when he makes this unit as a direct replacement to restore the vehicle's original design performance. But. I guess it just is also available as a performance upgrade for vehicles that came equipped with standard twin tube shocks. Here's 2 very different cut away examples so that I can show you the difference. Both have a shaft moving piston and hydraulic valving. This one is a typical twin tube shock he uses a smaller working cylinder and during operation fluid has moved in and out of it outer fluid reservoir that works pretty well but the design isn't as efficient when you need or you want more performance.
As you can see the kid would be gas adjust mono too has a larger single working cylinder the main benefit is that the hydraulic fluid doesn't have to travel as far. All kept in the upper cylinder so the valley can respond faster. A place of a fluid reservoir there's an additional nitrogen gas high pressure chamber in the lower section. On light vehicle movement the gas pressure cushions the ride and when you need performance and there's more aggressive vehicle movement the now compressed gas pressure expands and adds vehicle control so when you install the gas suggest as an upgrade you get quicker more responsive handling control along with this more stable ride the with the vehicle had originally were when you install the key why bagasse adjust on a vehicle that came from the factory with monitor designed you restore or keep that vehicle's original performance characteristics.
I guess it just is a great choice when you want something more than the original design. What do you just want the more responsive handling or perhaps you carry heavier loads the normal or tow a trailer will get more stability and less body roll to. So when we say restore or more we're saying it's up to you. I guess I just I just just the right higher performance.

SEOUL — South Korea on Monday announces a fresh set of unilateral sanctions against Pyongyang, a day before US President Donald Trump arrives in Seoul on an Asian tour dominated by the North's nuclear programme.
A total of 18 North Korean bankers overseas with suspected links to the country's weapons programmes have been blacklisted, a statement posted on the South's government website showed.
"Those individuals have worked overseas, representing North Korean banks and getting involved in supplying money needed to develop weapons of mass destruction," an official at Seoul's foreign ministry said, according to Yonhap news agency.
All 18 have already been sanctioned by the US, and the announcement came a day before Trump was due to arrive in Seoul.
The latest move bars South Korean individuals and entities from transacting with those on the list. It will be largely symbolic given a lack of inter-Korean economic ties, but is likely to draw an angry response from Pyongyang.
It also follows a new round of sanctions adopted by the UN Security Council in September following the North's sixth nuclear test and a flurry of missile launches in recent months.
Last year, South Korea unilaterally closed operations at the jointly-run Kaesong Industrial Complex saying the cash from the factory zone was being funnelled to the North's weapons programme.


A Mirror Match is a game played against an opponent who has a nearly identical deck. The name derives from the fact that both players will go through similar motions and actions, with similar cards being played in the same sequence. Thus it would evoke a feeling like playing in front of a mirror.
Mirror matches are particularly common in tournaments, as decks with a perceived large probability of success are adopted by a large amount of players. In such cases, tuning the deck or adding specific sideboard cards which provide a competitive edge in the mirror match becomes part of the Metagame.

Q: Is there a final Visit method to the Clang RecursiveASTVisitor? I couldn't find one looking at the API, but essentially I want the following: after all of the Visit* methods, I'd call a final method that does some postprocessing on my data members. I'd assume it'd be something similar to visiting a TranslationUnitDecl, except instead of being the first visit method, it'd be the last.

A: You can add do this within a HandleTranslationUnit method.
void MyVisitor::HandleTranslationUnit(ASTContext &Context) {
  ...
  TraverseDecl(Context.getTranslationUnitDecl());
  // Do post-processing here

Unequal Impact: Putting Justice at the Heart of the Climate Fight
Beverly Wright has been at the forefront of the environmental justice movement for more than 30 years, both as head of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice in New Orleans — where she has undertaken groundbreaking research into the disproportionate environmental threats facing Black neighborhoods — and as an advocate, having worked in the 1990s on the first federal executive order dealing with environmental justice.
Now, as a member of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, Wright is bringing her expertise to bear on the Biden administration's push to tackle climate change. In a Yale Environment 360 interview, she assesses the administration's efforts, discusses where she thinks its climate policies are falling short, and explains how to ensure that the communities most burdened by pollution and most at risk from natural disasters get the help they need.
Wright, a sociologist, says she is skeptical of policies to support carbon capture and sequestration, which limits carbon emissions from fossil fuel facilities, but does little to curb toxic pollutants afflicting communities nearby. And she is wary of federal grant programs intended to mitigate the risks of climate change that are often too byzantine for underserved communities to navigate.
Wright grew up near "Cancer Alley" — a stretch along the Mississippi River in Louisiana where dozens of petrochemical plants loom over Black communities — and lost her home during Hurricane Katrina. She says that any environmental remedies must not perpetuate existing racial inequities. "Race is at the center of it in terms of fairness," she says. "We have to find a way to make certain that we make up for the harm that's been done and put things in place so that harm does not continue."
Beverly Wright. Deep South Center for Environmental Justice
Yale Environment 360: Last month, two of the three officials on the White House Council on Environmental Equality (CEQ) who were focused on environmental justice stepped down. You then co-wrote a letter to the White House expressing your concerns about how the administration plans to tackle environmental justice. What are some of your concerns?
Beverly Wright:
Our biggest concern is that the CEQ office is not staffed at the level that it should be. My mother used to say a man's money goes where his heart is, so if that's the case, the amount of money going to CEQ to support environmental justice [EJ] does not show where their heart is. I believe the heart is there, but the money has to follow.

You're looking at environmental justice communities breathing a sigh of relief with the idea of transitioning away from fossil fuels, which in our communities have been an unbelievable burden, with pollution causing quality-of-life issues and sickness and death to community members almost on a daily basis. And then we find out that what they are proposing is to [retrofit] refineries with carbon capture and storage [which captures carbon emissions from fossil fuel sites and stores them underground].
Where is the improvement in quality of life for the communities with that? It certainly is wonderful for the industry because they are able to continue making money. The more [CO2] we have to pull out of the air, the more that industry continues to make money off of something that they created. But the research is showing that burying carbon in the way that they're talking about, putting it in pipelines, doesn't stop it from leeching, doesn't stop explosions.
"The same group of people is being asked to bear the burden of our transition."
On liquefied natural gas, the majority of the places where they want to put liquefied gas facilities are in poor and minority communities. So the same group of people is now being asked to bear the burden of our transition [from fossil fuels]. What kind of transition is that for communities?
We have a lot of modeling going on telling us what we have to do to get to [net-zero carbon emissions by] 2050. But I haven't seen one model that tells us what the whole country or the world would have to sacrifice to get there so that some people won't be harmed. It's always, "What's the easiest, quickest way that we can get there where only a certain number of people will really suffer?" We're tired of that. And we are saying no to that as a solution.
e360: What would you like to see the Biden administration do differently on environmental justice?
Wright: Any project that moves forward should be inclusive of three things: It will not harm communities. It will not contribute to the climate crisis. And it will not perpetuate racially disproportionate burdens of pollution. Any program that we bring in to solve the problem must have these three principles embedded in it so we don't make the same mistakes.
Biden's approach is unique in that it not only acknowledges the damage that is now and has been done by pollution and the resulting changes in the climate, but his approach attempts to attack the sources of the problem. That includes racism.
And Justice40, [a federal initiative to deliver 40 percent of the benefits from federal climate and clean energy investments to disadvantaged communities] is an attempt to ameliorate the existing problem and stamp out or change policies and regulations and laws that perpetuate the continuation of disproportionate pollution burdens for Blacks and other minorities.

From the Clinton era, we understood that communities were being disproportionately affected. And what we put in place [on environmental justice] did a lot to make people aware of the problem and direct them on what should be done.
But Justice40 takes another step in that it's talking about examining benefits and burdens and making certain that every relevant federal agency put in place programs that should promote the reduction of greenhouse gases, but also measure the benefits that would be going to communities and try to ameliorate the difference [between the burdens and the benefits]. Anybody can have really good intentions. We can pass wonderful laws. But if, in fact, policies actually block benefits [such as disaster relief and infrastructure assistance] from getting to where people really need them because of racism and discrimination, then we haven't done the work. I think that the Biden administration is attempting to do that autopsy of programs and make sure that money goes where it's intended.
For low-income Pittsburgh, clean air remains an elusive goal. Read more.
e360:
How should the administration go about meeting that goal of 40 percent?
Wright: For one thing, the 40 percent goal, to us, is not sufficient. What about 60 percent? We are really concerned that a program would be held to having only 40 percent of the benefits going to EJ communities, when maybe 80 percent of the harm is there. So how does 40 percent alleviate that problem?
There are also so many situations where you include race that are going to be legally challenged, so the wording of all of this has to be very careful. But that's also caused a bunch of confusion, because it seems difficult to talk about putting in place a project that deals with racial discrimination when you can't use race in evaluating it. It's really insane.
"I don't think we should talk about reducing greenhouse gases and saving the planet without environmental justice."
Right now, in the Supreme Court, you have affirmative action being attacked. You can't do things based on race. The government is very sensitive when it comes to using the term "race," because they don't want to end up in court having to stop the whole process because of this mean-spirited response on race that we get.
e360: Since the Build Back Better Act stalled in Congress in December, Democrats have been looking for ways to pass its climate provisions in a separate bill. What would you like to see in a revised bill?
Wright: I really would not like to see a revised climate bill. I would like to go forward the way that it was. But I don't think we should talk about reducing greenhouse gases and saving the planet without environmental justice being shoulder to shoulder with that.
I was just reviewing [the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) resilient infrastructure plan which funds projects to help communities prepare for disasters.] I was looking at research showing that FEMA has not dealt with communities of color and African American communities fairly. That is something that any Black person could have told you, especially after Hurricane Katrina, when FEMA [provided less relief] to the communities that were most affected. The fact that that's coming out is really important.
Secondly, the latest research is showing that flooding will increase for Black communities because of climate change. Putting money into hardening infrastructure and finding ways to repay communities for the harm that's taken place because they have not received funding from FEMA in the past should be at the forefront.
"I spent many years in the library, in my cubby … Finally, I made the decision that I should talk more to communities."
Communities have not been able to recover, to go back home. And gentrification is happening at warp speed in areas where climate change and flooding have caused the displacement of communities. This is a huge problem. Race is at the center of it in terms of fairness. And we have to find a way to make certain that we make up for the harm that's been done and put things in place so that harm does not continue for racial minorities in this country.
Any climate bill has to deal with both repairing EJ communities and reducing climate change. The fact of the matter is that they go hand in hand, because one of the reasons that we are the way we are is because of what we've done to communities of color across this country — putting fossil fuel industry facilities in our communities, not caring about our health or our lives, that's why we're here. We can't move forward without addressing that.
e360: One issue is that communities have to apply for federal grants, and there are some inequities with communities needing to have the resources to apply for grants or to have money they can put into projects.
Wright: Well, this is an issue that exists across the board. We [at the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice and others] are putting in place a comprehensive program to help communities define their priorities. There is a research component to it, and there is a large communications part of it so these communities can tap into the funds they need.
e360: You have said that a lot of environmental researchers have exploitative relationships with the communities they study, gathering interviews or data and then leaving without giving any benefit to the community. What do you think academics should give back to the communities they study?
They knew: How the U.S. government helped cause the climate crisis. Read more.
Wright: As a professor, I spent many years in the library, in my cubby, writing proposals that didn't get funding. Finally, I made the decision that I should talk more to communities, because community members started asking for my help. By talking with them and asking them to help me define the problem and asking, "What would you like to see done?" — that was the beginning of my finally being funded. Community responses — because they actually see the problem — make more sense than what we do in the library and our cubbies, which has nothing to do with real life.

Located on the plank road halfway between Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, the Wade House became a relay station where the stagecoach drivers changed horses. Its twenty guest rooms filled to capacity almost every night. In 1850, proprietor Sylvanus Wade apparently engaged his son-in-law, Charles Robinson, to construct a commodious inn in the Greek Revival style. Robinson, who had been one of the hamlet's first settlers and had established a sawmill here in 1847, was locally known for his carpentry skills. His craftsmanship is evident in the joinery of the window sashes, which he fastened with wooden pegs and mortise-and-tenon joints. A two-story porch, supported by two floors of simple square columns, spans the facade; a balustrade bounds the porch at the second story. Peeking through the frieze above the porch roof, attic windows light the third-story ballroom and the closet-sized bedrooms provided for the stagecoach drivers. Robinson trimmed the exterior with locally logged white pine. Inside the building, he hand-tooled the fine butternut woodwork. The interior and furnishings remain virtually as they appeared in the hostelry's heyday.
About five years later, Robinson built his own frame residence nearby, also in the Greek Revival idiom. The style, so popular before the Civil War that it was known as the "National style," flourished especially in those areas of the Old Northwest, like Wisconsin, that were being settled rapidly from the 1830s through the 1850s. An inset porch with simple square columns wraps around part of the square clapboard structure, and a row of six closely spaced doors provides access to the interior. A band of attic windows lights the second story, and a louvered deck or widow's walk, graced by wide pilasters and a decorative iron cresting, crowns the cedar-shingled low-hipped roof. The interior of the house remains intact, complete with its original butternut woodwork.
