Q: embedding dublin core metadata in a webpage I have already decided the structure of my  Dublin Core Application Profile and the syntax and use of the Dublin Core Element Set for my web application.
But I never used before Dublin Core Metadata in general. So, allow me those simple questions.
About the Dublin Core Application Profile, I have to implement it with HTML and embed it on the header of the page?
About the Dublin Core Element Set, I will also use HTML to implement it. I'm going to use it for images. I will create fields in a table in my DB to store the values of the Set, for every image. When the image render to the end-user (via a gallery) should I also embed the values of the Set for this image? Something like
<img src="smiley.gif" alt="Smiley face" height="42" width="42"
<meta name="DC.title" content="blah blah" />
//other 14 elements of the set here....
>

Thanks

A: If you provide Dublin Core metadata in the head of a HTML document, then this metadata applies to the whole document.
If you want to provide metadata only about a certain thing on that page (and this metadata is not applicable for other content on that page), you should not give it in the head.
Instead, you could use RDFa (e.g. RDFa Lite 1.1) to annotate your content. Prefixes for the Dublin Core vocabulary are pre-defined in the RDFa Core Initial Context:

dc http://purl.org/dc/terms/
dcterms http://purl.org/dc/terms/
dc11 http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/

You'd have to use/"mint" URIs for the things you want to describe on the page.

A: yes that's how I would do it.  Interestingly, Or not)
If you look at DC's own site,

they don't seem to bother, or at least don't bother consistently

Having made a gradual switch during the 15 years since his first album was published from electronica to instrumental variations on ambient and minimalism, Max Richter is among the most commercially successful composers of our time. This album of his solo piano music belongs in the genre explored so thoroughly for Brilliant Classics by Jeroen van Veen, whose prolific recording history includes hugely popular albums of Philip Glass (BC9419) and Michael Nyman (BC95112), Ludovico Einaudi (BC94910) and Yann Tiersen (BC95129) and his fellow Dutch musician Jakob ter Veldhuis (BC94873) and himself (BC9454). The appetite for slowly moving, unchallenging, post-Minimalist music is apparently infinite, and so this new album is sure to be a success.
Born in 1966, Richter has in the last few years achieved international fame with his recomposed version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, which topped the iTunes chart in the UK, the US and Germany. Then last year, came the record-breaking Sleep, an 'eight-hour cradle song' which like the Vivaldi mixed live and pre-recorded, electronic and acoustic sounds, to induce and accompany deep slumber.
The songs on this album are all shorter, though sharing the somnambulistic mood of Sleep. Vladimir's Blues featured on a BBC documentary series about the deep sea, while The Twins (Prague) was used in a series on Auschwitz, The Nazis and the Final Solution. As Richter's own programme notes explain, the music is for beginners, based on classical Alberti-style bass figures.
Several tracks derive from his albums The Blue Notebooks and Songs from Before; H in New England is extracted from the incidental music written by Richter for the film Henry May Long.
Max Richter (born in 1966) is one of the most influential composers of his generation. Electro-acoustic polymath Max Richter defies definition: composer, pianist, producer, remixer, and collaborator, and beyond argument one of the most prolific of contemporary musical artists. Inspired equally by Bach, punk rock and ambient electronica, Richter's sonic world blends a formal classical training (he graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, and was a pupil of renowned composer Luciano Berio) with modern technology.
This new recording presents Richter's solo piano music up to date.
Dutchman Jeroen van Veen is one of the leading pianists of today focusing on Minimalism and championing a new generation of composers, easily crossing borders between musical styles.
Jeroen Van Veen (1969) started playing the piano at the age of 7. He studied at the Utrecht Conservatory with Alwin Bär and Håkon Austbö. In 1993 he passed the Performing Artists' Exam. Van Veen has played with orchestras conducted by Howard Williams (Adams), Peter Eötvös (Zimmermann), Neal Stulberg (Mozart & Bartok) and Robert Craft (Stravinsky). He has played recitals in Europe, Russia, Canada & the USA. Van Veen attended master classes with Claude Helffer, Roberto Szidon, Ivan Klánsky and Leonid Hambro. He was invited to several festivals; Reder Piano Festival (1988), Festival der Kunsten in Bad Gleichenberg (1992), Wien Modern (1993), Holland Dance Festival (1998, 2010) Lek Art Festival (1996-2007). Van Veen recorded for major Dutch Radio- and Television companies like AVRO, NOS, IKON, NCRV, TROS/Internet, WTBC-TV & Radio (Florida, U.S.A.) and Moscow Television. In 1992, Van Veen recorded his first CD as Piano duo Van Veen. In 1995 Piano duo Van Veen made their debut in the United States. They were prizewinners in the prestigious 4th International Murray Dranoff Two Piano Competition in Miami, Florida. After this achievement they toured the United States and Canada many times. The documentary "Two Pianos One Passion" (nominated with an Emmy Award 1996) portrays them as a duo.
The various compositions by Van Veen may be described as Minimal Music with different faces, Crossovers to Jazz, Blues, Soundscape, Avant-Garde, Techno, Trance and Pop Music. His Minimal Preludes for piano, and his NLXL are some of his most played pieces worldwide. His latest Minimal Piano Concerto Continuum was a great success. In 2015 he premiered his Incanto nr 2 in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw with Sandra van Veen.
Currently Mr. Van Veen is director of Van Veen Productions, Chairman of the Simeon ten Holt Foundation, Pianomania Foundation and artistic director of several music festivals. He is also active as Overseas Artistic Director in the Murray Dranoff Two Piano Competition based in Miami. Over the last 25 years Van Veen recorded more than 150 CD's and 5 DVD's, mostly for Brilliant Classics. His discography includes: Adams, Einaudi, Glass, JacobTV, Minimal Piano Collections, Nyman, Pärt, Reich, Riley, Stravinsky, Tiersen, Ten Holt, Van Veen, Yiruma and many others. Van Veen is also praised for his productivity some say; 'the man who records faster than his shadow'.

The 1972 Porsche That Conquered Germany's Toughest Track
For Rennsport V, more than 300 race cars and some 2,000 other Porsches have taken over the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California for an amazing weekend of classic car ogling and racing.
Alex Davies/WIRED
Porsche may be making most of its sales on passenger-friendly SUVs like the Macan and Cayenne these days, but there's no denying it's got serious racing cred.
Since 2001, it's been celebrating that heritage every few years with a Rennsport reunion. For Rennsport V, more than 300 race cars and some 2,000 other Porsches have taken over the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California for an amazing weekend of classic car ogling and racing.
One of the more impressive cars on display is this "viper green" 1972 Kremer Porsche ST, which won five of nine races in the inaugural, 1972 European Grand Touring Championship. Modified by Erwin Kremer with wider rims, roll bars, a 2.5-liter engine, and flared fenders, the four-wheel drive car took first at Hockenheim, Germany and Estoril, Portugal, as well as at the Nurburgring, the world's longest racetrack, and one of the toughest.
Alex Davies is a senior editor at Insider and the former editor of WIRED's transportation section, where he specialized in covering autonomous and electric vehicles. He is also the author of Driven, a book chronicling the origin of and race to create the self-driving car.

Newsletter: Vol. 2, 2021
A Message from Kerry Dean Carso, Chair, 2021-2022
Welcome to the second edition of our departmental newsletter! It is delightful to hear about the many accomplishments of our faculty, students, and alumni, and to stay connected in these turbulent times. I hope you enjoy reading these updates as much I have! I want to thank my colleagues Reva Wolf and Susan DeMaio Smutny for their work on the newsletter again this year. Stay in touch, everyone!
Cover Image of Follies in America
Kerry Dean Carso
Professor Carso published her second book, Follies in America: A History of Garden and Park Architecture (Cornell University Press, 2021), and curated a related exhibition, Follies and Picturesque Tourism, at the Dorsky Museum. The exhibition opened on September 12, 2021 and will close on March 11, 2022. She gave a talk about the exhibition on Zoom for the Dorsky Museum on September 29, and a book talk, "Mohonk's Summerhouses and the 'Folly' Tradition of English Landscape Design," at Mohonk Mountain House on October 6. For details about Follies in America, please see her guest blog, "Architectural Follies Help Us Enjoy Nature," on the Cornell University Press website.
Professor Carso also published two essays this year: "The Visual Culture of Commemorative Summerhouses in the Age of Revolutions" in the book The Art of Revolutions, published in the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, and "David Schuyler and Downing Studies," in the Autumn 2021 issue of The Hudson River Valley Review.
Professor Carso also gave an invited lecture in 2021, "Smiling Lawns and Tasteful Cottages: An Overview of the Picturesque," as part of a virtual symposium, "Building the Picturesque: Domestic Architecture in the Age of Industry, 1840-1870" at Historic Deerfield in Massachusetts on July 10, and another talk, "Jervis McEntee and the Hudson River School of Art," on December 1, at Mohonk Mountain House.
Professor Carso is under contract to edit an annotated edition of the Gothic novel Monaldi: A Tale (1841) by the nineteenth-century American artist Washington Allston for a new series entitled "Gothic Originals" published by the University of Wales Press (UWP) in the UK. "Gothic Originals" is an expansion of UWP's "Gothic Studies" series and aims to bring "out-of-print Gothic literature back to life" in scholarly editions with new introductions. In 2014, as part of its "Gothic Studies" series, UWP published Professor Carso's award-winning book American Gothic Art and Architecture in the Age of Romantic Literature, which featured a chapter on Allston. In early 2022, Professor Carso will present her new research on Monaldi in an online presentation entitled "Washington Allston: The Painterly Gothic" at the Gothic Association of New Zealand and Australia's "Gothic Trajectories" conference. Professor Carso's review of the exhibition Cross Pollination: Heade, Cole, Church, and Our Contemporary Moment, held jointly in 2021 at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site and the Olana State Historic Site, will be published in the Spring 2022 edition of The Hudson River Valley Review. She is giving a book talk on Follies in America online at the Studios of Key West in Key West, Florida, and at the Turpin Bannister Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians in Albany in Spring 2022.

Keely Heuer
This past year, Professor Heuer's essay, "Purposeful Polysemy: Cross-cultural Reception in South Italian Vase-Painting," was published in Griechische Vasen als Kommunikations-Medium, a subsidiary volume of the Austrian series of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, an international hundred-year research project dedicated to the documentation and publication of ancient Mediterranean ceramics. She gave a guest lecture at Vassar College on Greek painted vases for Professor Eve D'Ambra's seminar course "Collecting Antiquities at Vassar: Lost and Found in the Loeb."
Professor Heuer received a prestigious Jane and Morgan Whitney Fellowship from the Metropolitan Museum of Art for 2021-22 to work on her current book project. As a Whitney Fellow, she has given invitational tours of the Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Art galleries of the Met for donors to the Museum and the Metropolitan Opera as well as for students at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Recently, she has become a regular contributor to the Met's Instagram account, highlighting objects produced in ancient southern and central Italy.
Professor Heuer completed thirty-three catalog entries on Greek and South Italian vases in the North Carolina Museum of Art for its forthcoming monograph on its Greco-Roman art collection. She also submitted an invitational essay on ceramic wine buckets (situlae) in pre-Roman Italy for a Festschrift in honor of Ian McPhee, one of the pre-eminent scholars of South Italian vase-painting, and a book review to appear in The Classical Review of John H. Oakley's A Guide to Scenes of Daily Life on Athenian Vases.
Professor Heuer will give two talks at the Archaeological Institute of America's annual meeting in January 2022: "From Girlhood Games to the Grave: Women and Balls in South Italian Vase-Painting" and "Seeking the Sacred in Ancient Apulia." While on sabbatical during the 2021-22 academic year, she is working on a book manuscript that will be the first holistic study of Italian red-figure vases made between the mid-fifth and the end of the fourth century BCE, a time of conflict, political upheaval, and great economic prosperity that led to a cultural flourishing prior to the Roman conquest. The abundance and diversity of this material allow us to discern more accurately societal values, cultural interests, and religious and eschatological beliefs of this otherwise often opaque period of Italian history.
"Nobles of the Mystic Shrine March," 1923, composed by John Philip Sousa, Sam Fox Publishing Co., 9 ¼ x 12 ¼ in., New York: Private collection
Jaclynne Kerner
Professor Jaclynne Kerner peer-reviewed a paper on Islamic manuscript illustration for Burlington Magazine.
Professor Kerner continued her work on a monographic study of the material culture of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the appendant body to Freemasonry whose fez-wearing members are commonly known as Shriners. The book will examine how the material artifacts, print culture, and linguistic apparatuses of "Shrinedom" embody a uniquely American, pseudo-Islamic subculture that reflects the orientalist sensibilities of its nineteenth-century founders. She hopes to complete the first of the two-volume study during a sabbatical leave which she has been awarded for the 2022-23 academic year. She is currently writing, as part of this study, a series of thematic essays to accompany object biographies for Shriner mementoes, including souvenir spoons, beer steins, and sheet music. Professor Kerner will give a paper examining Shriner souvenirs as objects patterned after Arab-Islamic and medieval European models during the 3rd European University Institute (EUI) Conference on Visual and Material Culture Studies, to be convened in May, 2022 in Florence, Italy and via Zoom. She continues to participate in a faculty writing group and is grateful to her colleagues for their camaraderie.
Dirk Vellert, A Woman Bathing (or a Bath Attendant?) Holding a Brush and a Small Bucket, c. 1521, pen and brown ink, 27.9 x 12.5 cm, Paris: Musée du Louvre
Ellen Konowitz
Professor Konowitz published an essay, "Dürer und Dirk Vellert," in the catalogue accompanying the major loan exhibition Dürer wahr hier. Eine Reise wird Legende (Dürer Was Here: A Journey Becomes Legend) held at the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum, Aachen, in the Summer and Fall of 2021. This exhibition commemorated the 500th anniversary of Albrecht Dürer's historic year-long stay in the Netherlands, to which he traveled from Nuremberg (stopping in Aachen to attend the coronation of Charles V in the Aachen Cathedral), in 1520-21. The exhibition, which included paintings, drawings, and prints by Dürer and other major figures, presented new scholarship on this period of religious tensions, examined Dürer's artistic output during this year, and explored his interactions with prominent artists in the Netherlands. In November 2021, the exhibition opened at the National Gallery, London, under the title Dürer's Journeys: Travels of a Renaissance Artist (on view through February 27, 2022). Professor Konowitz's essay appears in English with some different content in the catalogue supplement online published on the National Gallery website.
In 2021, Professor Konowitz also published an article, "Dirk Vellert," in the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon (De Gruyter, Berlin/Boston, vol. 112) and wrote a book review of C. J. Berserik and J. M. A. Caen, Silver-Stained Roundels and Unipartite Panels before the French Revolution (Corpus Vitrearum, Belgium, Checklists. Flanders), vols. 4 and 5, for the Historians of Netherlandish Art Reviews, published in December.
Professor Konowitz is preparing an essay, "Domestic Glass," for the Routledge Encyclopedia of the Renaissance World, and is completing a book on the Flemish Renaissance artist Dirk Vellert while on sabbatical in 2021-22.

ArtChina, July 2021: cover and inset detail of "The Artist Interview: An Elusive History"
Reva Wolf
Professor Wolf's review essay about the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition Goya's Graphic Imagination, and its accompanying catalogue, was published in the Autumn 2021 issue of Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide. The essay considers some of the challenges of exhibiting and interpreting Goya's works on paper. Also published in 2021 was a Chinese translation of excerpts from Professor Wolf's article "The Artist Interview: An Elusive History"; the translation, "艺术家访谈:难以捉摸的历史," which appeared in the July 2021 issue of ArtChina magazine, a premier contemporary art magazine in China, was created by Wu Wei (aka Azure Wu), vice chief editor of the magazine (the article originally appeared in 2020 in the Journal of Art Historiography). In addition, Professor Wolf conducted and edited an interview with the painter and writer Philip Pearlstein for the Institute of Fine Arts 2021 Alumni Newsletter, for which she also served as editor.
Professor Wolf spoke in an online program celebrating the publication of No solo Velázquez by Jonathan Brown, organized by the Institute of Fine Arts and the King Juan Carlos I Center, New York University, in February 2021, with the presentation "Peut-on assez louer cet excellent professeur? Art Inside and Outside Spain as Illuminated by Jonathan Brown." Also in February 2021, she participated in an online conversation about Goya with the Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Mark McDonald for friends and patrons of the Drawings and Prints department at the Met. Additionally in 2021, a talk she gave the previous year at the Livingston Masonic Library in New York City was posted online.
Professor Wolf's co-edited book, Freemasonry and the Visual Arts, was selected as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2020 by Choice, a review publication of the American Library Association, and was one of five visual arts books with this distinction highlighted in a May 2021 Choice blog. The book also is included in the Museum of Freemasonry, London, blog, "Learn about Freemasonry: 12 Books to Expand your Knowledge."
Professor Wolf's essay, "The Interconnections of Satire and Censorship in Goya's Prints and Drawings," is forthcoming in Changing Satire: Transformations and Continuities in Europe, 1600-1830 (Manchester University Press, 2022). Another essay, "The Victim as Martyr: The 'Black Legend' and Eighteenth-Century Representations of Inquisition Punishments, from Picart to Coustos to Goya," has been completed and will appear in the volume The Black Legend in the Eighteenth Century: National Identities under Construction (Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment, 2022 or 2023). Newly underway is "Writing and the Alphabetic Ordering of Culture" for volume 1 of the Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Visual Culture.
In early 2022, Professor Wolf will give the paper "The Compasses Embodied: Hands as Evidence in Goya's Portraits—Problems and Possibilities" in the online congress, "On Portraiture: Theory, Practice and Fiction—From Francisco de Holanda to Susan Sontag," organized by the University of Lisbon; the congress proceedings will be published in 2022. The symposium "Translating Warhol," which Professor Wolf has organized in collaboration with the Kislak Center at the University of Pennsylvania, and which is supported by a grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art, was postponed due to Covid and has been rescheduled for June 2022; the seven symposium papers together with an introductory essay by Professor Wolf have been completed and will be published in a special section, of which she is Guest Editor, of a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Art Historiography.
Professor Kerry Carso was on sabbatical for the Spring 2021 semester. During her sabbatical, she received a faculty development award for re-certification in online teaching at SUNY New Paltz. Following her successful re-certification, Professor Carso's ARH202 "Art of the Western World 2" course now meets all required online standards. She taught the newly re-designed ARH202 in Fall 2021, along with ARH354 "Nature & Science in 19th-Century American Art," while assuming the position of Chair of the Art History Department for 2021-22. In Fall 2021, Professor Carso joined the Advisory Board of the Bachelor of General Studies Program, a fully online program at SUNY New Paltz for students who started but did not complete their college degrees.
Associate Professor Keely Heuer's teaching during the 2021 Spring semester included new assignments and activities, such as student spotlights at the start of each class session, the production of virtual tours of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and mythological movie nights. She mentored Camryn Alwang on her Honors thesis, "Marriage and Abduction Myths of the Ancient Greeks: A Means of Reinforcing the Patriarchy," and was recognized as an exemplary faculty mentor by Honors students Megan Tornatore and Sophie Herrmann in their induction into Chi Alpha Sigma. During the Summer, she led an innovative virtual study abroad program focused on pre-Roman Italy that received a generous scholarship grant from SUNY New Paltz Professor Emeritus Giancarlo Traverso. Each participant was sent a course pack containing materials for experimental archaeology projects – including spinning wool using drop spindles and creating marble mosaics – along with ingredients for online cooking lessons during which students tried their hand at making traditional foods of ancient and modern Italy. In this immersive experience, students met virtually with numerous leading Italian and American archaeologists and art historians, including Anthony Tuck, Maurizio Forte, Jean Turfa, Gretchen Meyers, and Nancy de Grummond.
Professor Heuer organized other virtual events this year. In the Spring, she arranged the Luigi and Anita Traverso Italian Studies Lecture, which featured Farrell Monaco, an archaeologist and food historian, who spoke on the role of bread in the Roman Empire and demonstrated how to bake the famous loaves uncovered in Pompeii's ovens. As the Art History Association's faculty liaison, she coordinated the third annual SUNY New Paltz Undergraduate Art History Symposium, held on April 9-11, 2021. This exciting event has grown to become the largest of its kind in the United States, and in 2021 featured nearly one hundred speakers who attend sixty-four collegiate institutions. She also assisted in running the Art History Association's three-part Fall lecture series entitled "Saving Art: Conservation, Ethics, and Activism," which included enlightening presentations by Michele Marincola of NYU's Institute of Fine Arts Conservation Center, Carolyn Riccardelli of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Dr. Erin Thompson of John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Associate Professor Jaclynne Kerner taught both remotely and in-person in 2021. For the Spring semester, she developed her upper-division Islamic art class for online delivery and continued to refine her lower-division survey. In the Fall, Professor Kerner returned to in-person classes for the first time since March, 2020. She also wrote a proposal for a new upper-division course on Islamic art and "the West," which the Art History faculty will consider in early 2022.
Lecturer Beth E. Wilson reports that she has been inspired to re-work her seminar course on Surrealism for Fall 2022 as a result of viewing the recent Surrealism Beyond Borders exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which entailed significant new scholarly approaches to the movement. She plans to use the exhibition catalogue as one of the primary texts for the course. Professor Wilson is an active member of the International Society for the Study of Surrealism.
Professor Reva Wolf's teaching initiatives this year in her courses on contemporary art included organizing Covid-safe in-person visits to two exhibitions at the Dorsky Museum of Art: DIRT (involving discussions with the curator) and Kathy Goodell: Infra-Loop, Selections 1994-2020 (a tour with the artist), and virtual visits to the Al Held Foundation, led by the Foundation's director, in connection with course sections about the spaces of artists' studios. Professor Wolf added new sections to her graduate course on the work of Lorraine O'Grady and Pamela Z, the latter inspiring her to develop, with colleagues on the School of Fine & Performing Arts Council, and in association of the Office of the Dean of the School of Fine & Performing Arts, an in-person presentation by and workshop for students with the multidisciplinary artist Pamela Z at the start of the Fall 2021 semester. She also revised her Fall 2021 Modern Art course, adding new sections on Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller and on Augusta Savage and the 1939 World's Fair.

Elizabeth (Lulu) Brotherton
In 2021, Professor Emerita Elizabeth (Lulu) Brotherton edited a manuscript on how "otherness" is conveyed in images of mounted lute players in Chinese art for the scholarly journal Nan Nü: Men, Women, and Gender in Early and Imperial China (published by Brill) and another manuscript, by an early-career art historian, about three topographical paintings by the seventeenth-century artist Huang Xiangjian. Zoom and Webex enabled her continued participation in monthly meetings of IFA's China Project and the Columbia Seminar on Neo-Confucianism, as well as attendance at all sorts of conferences, lectures, classes, webinars, and seminars, some of them international, that would not have been accessible otherwise—many of which became topics discussed in weekly Zoom meetings with grad school colleagues in Chinese art history. In Spring 2022, she plans to deliver a lecture at Marist College on relationships between figure and landscape in Chinese painting.

Dianne Pierce recently completed a fellowship at the International Center for Jefferson Studies, where she was studying the work of Marie Kimball, the first curator of Monticello. In this project, Ms. Pierce researched how, in partnership with her husband, renowned art historian Fiske Kimball, Marie laid the groundwork for the setting and interpretation of the Monticello interiors as an historic site. Working with ICJS archival material, Ms. Pierce analyzed the collecting practice, object research, museum interpretation, and scholarship around the material culture of Thomas Jefferson in the early years of the twentieth century.
Following up from this fellowship, Ms. Pierce is now working on the committee that is developing programs to commemorate the centennial of the foundation that owns and operates Monticello, including a podcast series about its early years as an historic site.
Along with her work at Monticello and her ongoing course offerings for SUNY New Paltz, Ms. Pierce has been teaching in the graduate Decorative Arts and Design History program of the Corcoran School of Design at George Washington University in Washington DC.

Fran Smulcheski is taking a leave from teaching for the Spring semester to continue her project, Silent Voices Echo: Children at Work in Pakistan, after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. Her project, in partnership with Professor Habbat Shah (Anthropology, Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering and Management Sciences – BUITEMS, Quetta, Pakistan), includes photographic documentation, and research into, the economic and social complexities of child labor in Pakistan, a country experiencing 38.8% poverty. The project will culminate with an exhibition of photographs made by Ms. Smulcheski in Pakistan paired with photos documenting child labor in the US by twentieth-century photographers Lewis W. Hine, Dorothea Lange, and Jacob Riis. The exhibition will be accompanied by material written by Ms. Smulcheski and Professor Shah addressing the generational effects of child labor, the cultural situations that drive such labor practices, the economic situation for impoverished families and the country, and the absence of law enforcement to regulate child labor.

Hannah Peterson '17
Hannah Peterson moved to Italy soon after graduation and is currently attending her third year of a five-year conservation program at the Fine Arts Academy of Verona, specializing in paintings, wooden objects, and contemporary art conservation. The first half of the program focuses on the theoretical aspect of conservation, including a lot of Chemistry, Art History and even drafting courses; the second half is all hands-on, and courses consist of eight-hour stretches in the labs, or in situ, working on artworks from public art collections, museums and churches in the Veneto region. The intense coursework, in addition to required internships, prepare students for the fifth-year final thesis, in which they work independently to create and carry out a conservation project from start to finish. That project is then presented to a panel of professors and experts from the Italian Ministry of Culture, after which, if they pass, they become recognized conservators and their names are included on a national registry. Although Hannah is still a few years away from becoming an official conservator, she has had the opportunity so far to conserve fifth-century mosaics in the Republic of Northern Macedonia, consolidate wall paintings at an early-twentieth-century villa in the Valpolicella hills, and consolidate and retouch a small nineteenth-century panel painting.

One-of-a-kind Dragon Park At Arcadia Estate
2019-10-25 Community & Lifestyle

All-abilities
All-abilities dragon park at Arcadia to be one-of-a-kind in Melbourne's south east
With its book-themed street names, established schools on site and its generous green space, Arcadia has always been a community that encourages children to exercise their imaginations. But the new playground coming in 2021 is taking imaginative adventures to a whole new level.
Construction will commence on the nearly-one-hectare, $2.3 million park in Arcadia's third neighbourhood next year and the centrepiece will be a playground featuring a massive dragon structure.
The all-abilities playground has been designed by Outlines Landscape Architecture, and will feature a custom-made dragon's head, a climbable dragon's body and dragon's eggs created by the award-winning Agency of Sculpture, exclusively for Arcadia.
Satterley's Senior Development Manager for Arcadia, Julian Hill, a qualified landscape architect, came up with the idea for the dragon. He says the project is exciting because it's so distinctive.
"The dragon's head will face Flanagan Avenue to ensure it is highly visible from the surrounding streetscapes. This will be a very unique playspace – something that hasn't been done before."
Although final designs haven't yet been confirmed, the dragon's head will be a major feature, towering above the playground and the park. Each element will be built to provide challenges for children of different ages and abilities. A spokesperson from Outlines said this will be a vital part of the design.
"Many families have children of various ages. It is important that there is something to occupy all kids. As the children grow up then they can explore different parts of the playground that may have seemed scary or hard when they were younger."
Outlines says the playground has been designed with accessibility and inclusion in mind. They have deliberately designed a space where people of all abilities can play together, rather than feeling separated.
"Appealing to and providing for a range of age groups and abilities is important so that everyone can play together and kids are not left out. It is important to have a park where everyone feels included and part of the community. We also wanted to provide easy access through the space for prams, etc.
"Providing a variety of different types of play items is important to cater for different interests and ability ranges. That includes sound, touch and texture, swinging, motion carousels, puzzles and interactive items."
The park and playground is due to be completed in 2021.
We'll bring you more information as the eggs begin to hatch and the dragon begins to rise.
Local resident names new park in Officer
At the end of last year we put a call out to the local community to name Arcadia's latest park on Harmony Parade. To make matters really interesting, we also announced that the winning entry would receive a $2,000 travel voucher. And we weren't disappointed with what we received.
Mother's Day in the park at Arcadia
The opening of Arcadia's newest park on Harmony Place coincided with Mother's Day this year, so we decided to celebrate two events in one.
Pet adoption day brings out the best in local community
Nearly 20 animals have new homes after our Adopt a Furry Friend Day, the annual community event that has turned into an extravaganza of generosity and goodwill.


from Longman Dict. of Contemporary English: a kind of (a) something - used to say that your description of something is not exact.
I like Mark's car. It's a kind of Ferrari.
... do they mean it's a a Ferrari (a type of Ferrari) or that it's similar to a Ferrari but may be something else?
Thanks a lot, I like that "kinda like".
It's a kind of Ferrari... (kind = type) --- It's a Ferrari, it's not just something similar to a Ferrari. Ferrari is a brand name, it's too specific.
It's a kind of car... --- It could also be something similar to a car, some strange vehicle. Car is more generic than Ferrari.
It's a kind of house... --- Same as the previous example, "house is generic, this sentence could be used to describe something similar to a house.
It's a kind of egg... --- Same as above, "egg" is generic, this sentence could be used to describe something similar to an egg, for example something shaped like an egg.
As for "kind of", do you think we can't use it that way just because "Ferrari" is too specific?
No. I don't think the level of specificity or generality has anything to do with it. I take "kind of" literally unless it is followed by "like".
I don't accept, for example, any of the following as sensible remarks.
A bus is a kind of car.
A movie is a kind of opera.
A giraffe is a kind of horse.
A computer is a kind of typewriter.
A vacuum cleaner is a kind of broom.
A whale is a kind of fish.
A camera is a kind of eye.
Adding a doesn't seem to help. This isn't a turn of phrase that I personally use.
A bus is a kind of a car.
A movie is a kind of an opera.
And I do accept the following as sensible.
A penguin is a kind of bird.
A Ferrari is a kind of car.
A whale is a kind of mammal.
A motel is a kind of hotel.
A biography is a kind of literature.
In short, I believe I'd have to say that I disagree with the definition you presented in the original post!
So, you wouldn't say either of these are ok, would you?
You are confusing 'a kind of' with 'kind of like a'. These two phrases mean different things.
A kind of - a subsect or example of a group. A robin is a kind of bird.
Kind of like a - somewhat similar to - A robin is kind of like a sparrow, but with a red chest. In this phrase 'kind of' = I agree 90% with what follows, I agree slightly, almost. Example: mum says 'have you tidied your bedroom?' Kid says 'kind of'. Mum then knows that a tiny bit of effort has been made but the room is still a mess. Then 'like a'= similar to.
EnglishForward is a kind of huge classroom where.... this sentence is ok because actually, EnglishForward is sort of a type of giant online classroom. You couldn't say that EnglishForward is a kind of boarding school, because there the difference is too great, it clearly is not a boarding school. But it has teachers, and learners, all meeting together in one place, so classroom seems fine.
The shape of a human head is kind of like the shape of an egg (similar to the shape of an egg).
Nona The Brit You are confusing 'a kind of' with 'kind of like a'. These two phrases mean different things.
yes, I'm definitely confusing those two! I felt I could be using those expressions incorrectly, so I asked here. Well, I think I just corrected another mistake in my English then!
Thank you for helping me understand English better.
When I write a letter about someone e.g.
Should the 'r' in the word 're' (as a shortened form of 'regarding' be a capital R or just a small-case r?
A Whale Is Not A Fish?


Very little concrete information is known about his life. Most accounts associate his invention of the Jo-sized staff techniques with an encounter and a subsequent vision. The encounter was with the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, founder of Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu and author of the Gorinnosho (the book of five rings).
Students of Iaido should also study Jodo as it teaches Iaido students the importance of distance and timing. Even though the main practice of Jodo is done by Kata (forms) Jodo is very dynamic and students need to be careful not to cause injury.


BLACKBURN, Scotland (CNN) -- Streamers still line the streets of Susan Boyle's hometown, where the international singing sensation's second-place finish in "Britain's Got Talent" left those who know her best feeling crushed -- but also hopeful.
Supporters in Susan Boyle's hometown, Blackburn, Scotland, watch the finals of "Britain's Got Talent."
"I am disappointed for Susan," said one of about 200 residents of the small town who turned out for a viewing party at a community center Saturday night. "But this is just the beginning of her career."
Boyle's runner-up finish was anticlimactic for millions of viewers worldwide, who were looking for a Hollywood ending. When the unknown 48-year-old first stepped up to the microphone on the program six weeks ago, she stunned viewers. Her song quickly became one of the most watched videos on YouTube.
Saturday night's performance was a nail-biter for Boyle's fans. In the community center in Blackburn, hearts were pounding as the results came in -- and collectively dropped as victory fell from her grasp.
The British viewers who called in their votes selected Diversity, a dance troupe from East London and Essex, over Boyle -- meaning they will perform for the queen.
Margaret Miller, who lives across the street from Boyle and has known her since she was a baby, said she was sad for her.
But when asked about reports that Boyle could be on track to earn millions, Miller replied, "Good for her, 'cause they were a hardworking family. There were nine children and had lovely parents, lovely mother -- she was a gem."
Miller added that by performing on a national stage, Boyle had made her mother's dream for her come true. "It was a pity her mum died before all this," Miller said.
Newspapers predict Boyle could earn millions with a recording contract, a book deal, and perhaps a movie about her life. There's talk about possible performances in London's West End.
In July, Boyle is scheduled to record an album with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.
And back in her hometown, where so many are excited about the chance to celebrate a woman who touched the hearts of people all over the world, Boyle's many opportunities are cause for celebration.
She may not have won the talent show, but from humble beginnings in Blackburn, a star has been born.

(This was way better than Kim Kardashian marrying Kris Humphries. Plus their marriage already lasted longer than her marriage to Kris so…yeah. Her wedding doesn't even count anymore).
As it turns out, this was the wedding of a power couple in another country. To give you an idea of just how extravagant this was, let's begin with mass. The mass was celebrated by eight bishops and seven priests. The guests included several celebrities. The wedding party consisted of 18 bridesmaids, 18 groomsmen AND the president of their country was the groom's best man! (President Benigno Aquino III was the president at the time).
Marian's romantic wedding gown was designed by Dubai-based international designer, Michael Cinco. The ballgown featured embroidered French lace embellished with Swarovski crystals, a cinched waistline, and a cathedral train.
On top her head Marian wore a crown inspired by Queen Elizabeth's Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara.
I have provided a short Youtube video of the "Royal Wedding" below. Followed by photos of the wedding taken by www.niceprintphoto.com. It looks like the perfect wedding. Amazing! You have to watch the video.
Nicky Hilton got married this past summmer in an amazing Valentino gown. The dress featured a beautifully detailed lace overlay, and long train. Nicky's long embroidered veil was perfect for her classic wedding look.
Of course, the internet was a buzz comparing Nicky Hilton's wedding dress to Kate Middleton's dress, as if no one else ever wore a lace overlay before. Nicky's dress had a high neckline and longsleeves, while Kate's dress had a v-neck. Kate Middleton's dress was designed by Sarah Burton and it was extravagant. But, I honestly like Nicky's dress more. Nicky's dress was like, regal meets modesty. Very classy.

Gay Group in State Celebrates Recognition by a Political Party that Rejects Them
California and the Nation
The political platform (pdf) of the California Republican Party states: "We oppose any special rights based on sexual or behavioral rights" and defines "marriage as being between one man and one woman." In case the message isn't clear, the platform also affirms: "We believe public policy and education should not be exploited to present or teach homosexuality as an acceptable 'alternative' lifestyle. We oppose same-sex partner benefits, child custody, and adoption."
That hasn't stopped the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay organization, from seeking formal recognition as a chartered volunteer group by the state GOP for the past decade. And now they have it.
By an 861-293 vote, the state GOP officially sanctioned the 38-year-old group at its biannual gathering of the party faithful over the weekend. The vote not only reflects changing attitudes among Republican voters nationally—30% now approve of same-sex marriage, up from 21% in 2001—but an added sensitivity to the politics of being a shrinking minority member of state government.
Log Cabin California former Chairman Charles Moran told the Los Angeles Times, "The left will not be able to say to us anymore, 'The Republican Party doesn't want you.' "
It is perhaps one thing to be wanted and another to be accepted. John Briscoe, president of the socially conservative California Republican Assembly (CRA), amplified the conflict. "I have a hard time understanding how we're going to charter an organization that's in opposition to our platform," he said.
That's the way it is for now. The convention ended Sunday with the 2012-2016 platform intact, but religious rights activist Karen England, executive director of the Capitol Resource Institute, warned the convention that change was coming and it would be "watered down in terms of family values." The one-paragraph in the platform condemning homosexuality is in the "Family" section.
The quest for recognition of gays by the Republican Party has always seemed quixotic to outside observers who have trouble reconciling a strong desire by an oppressed minority to seek inclusion in a group noted for its non-inclusive regard for "the other."
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act (championed by Republicans) in 2013, setting off a cascade of state decisions to remove barriers against same-sex marriage. At the same time, the justices also drove a stake through the heart of California's Proposition 8, the ballot initiative voters passed in 2008 that barred gay marriage. Exit polls (pdf) showed that 81% of Republican voters favored the proposition, compared to 30% of Democrats.
But through the long, successful fight to overcome the bias, fear, ignorance and hatred that generated such loathsome policies, Log Cabin Republicans chose not to urge reparative therapy as a cure for deeply troubled Republicans, but rather, to join them.
