Oral History Program Norma Jones Hansen Interviewed by Marci Farr 5 October 2009 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Norma Jones Hansen Interviewed by Marci Farr 5 October 2009 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted October 5, 2009 and concerns her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Norma Jones Hansen. She graduated from the Dee School of Nursing in 1943. It is October 5, 2009 and we are interviewing Norma at her home in Ogden, Utah. Norma, could you just tell us a little bit about your early life, where you grew up, where you went to school, and your family? NH: I was born in Ogden on Binford Avenue. I was a premature baby. I understand that it was—in those days, pretty bad. I was an only child. I went to school at Madison and went to Washington and Pingree and then to Lewis and to Ogden High School. My parents were divorced and separated; so I spent a lot of time with my grandparents and some of my aunts and uncles. I would go out to Pleasant View and different places where they had their families. I guess when I have thought about why I wanted to be a nurse—there were two things that helped me decide. One was my uncle had a daughter-in-law up in Montana who was a nurse. We'd go up every summer to visit with her. She was the most efficient, well organized, nicest lady. She was so hospitable and we had such good times up there that I wanted to be a nurse like her. As I got to be a teenager I wanted to be around other girls. I thought that nursing home would be a good place to be with other girls. It was kind of foolish but that is one reason I went into the Dee School of Nursing. My mother and I went up for me to apply. I had skipped a grade in all this moving around that we did, so I 2 was only seventeen when I graduated from High School. They said I had to be eighteen before I could enter the program so I went to Weber for a year. That was wonderful, at the time I was quite disappointed because a couple of friends of mine went into the program at that time and they were always a year ahead of me. I enjoyed that year at Weber and then I started the nursing program. MF: What were your first impressions when you entered the nursing home? NH: Oh, it was wonderful. I had a roommate and everybody was getting acquainted. I had spent a lot of time on the train. My dad worked for the railroad and I would get a pass and I would go to Los Angeles a lot with my grandmother. But I didn't know the towns outside of Ogden actually. To this day I don't know where some of the girls in my class were from, out of Ogden. I thought it was great. My roommate was Yvonne Dimick. She was from Montpelier, Idaho. She had seven brothers and sisters so she taught me a lot about how it would be to be with a family. We got very well acquainted. MF: Oh good. Tell us about some of your other classmates that you were friends with. NH: Ruth Brown and Evelyn Helgeson were roommates. They were some really good friends of mine. Evelyn was the most talented musician. She could sit down and play any song. You could hum a song and she could chord it and play it. She played by ear a lot but she had taught some piano and her mother had taught piano. We had long days, we would start at six in the morning. We had to be to breakfast at six thirty and on the floor at seven. We would be on the floor until about eleven or just before twelve. We would go to the hospital to eat and 3 then we would have to be back down at Weber on Jefferson and 24th St. for our class at one o'clock. We would have class for about two hours and have to be back on the floor at four until seven, get people ready for dinner and that sort of thing. Then from seven till nine we kind of had free time a little bit and Evelyn would go in and play the piano. That was a lot of fun. MF: How did the war impact you being in nurse's training? NH: Well, I was in the operating room when Pearl Harbor happened. The doctor that I was assisting—I was a student—they called him out and his son had gone down with the U.S.S. Utah. It was pretty devastating. He never really recovered from that. It was before the program for nurses to be paid. MF: The cadet nurses? NH: The cadet corps—just before. So we didn't have to do anything with the military. In those days you had to put in three full years in the nursing program with two weeks vacation in the summer. There wasn't any extra time. But the war itself didn't impact except that almost all of my classmates went into the service when they graduated. MF: Did the war affect any of the doctors? NH: I don't recall them taking very many from our hospital. I guess the residents probably went but we didn't have much to do with them. The others were pretty stable in this community and practiced here. MF: That is good to know. What were some of the classes that you took while you were in nurse's training? 4 NH: We took anatomy and physiology and English and nutrition. Our class was one of the last classes to go through the kitchen where we made custards and diets for the patients. We had a really good time. I needed that because I had not done any cooking. I had to learn how to cook a little bit there. MF: That is good. NH: Of course, our teachers at Weber were all faculty there. Then we had our own nursing faculty that taught us some of the classes. MF: Who were some of your teachers? NH: Mrs. Miner was one of them. Lucille… MF: Brewerton? NH: Brewerton, yes. Those were the two major ones I think. MF: Okay. NH: Miner was from the University of Massachusetts. She had one of those cute little lace caps that everybody admired. She was a tiny little lady but she was very strict. MF: When you were at the nurse's home, did you had curfew right? NH: Oh yes. The evening we had to be in our rooms by nine and to bed by ten. We had night checks. Our housemother would come around and peek and see if everybody was in the right beds and what we were doing, that we were in the right bed. We had one night a month we could be out till eleven or eleven thirty. Otherwise it was pretty strict. I met my future husband when I had been in the program about a year and a half. He didn't understand this curfew at all. He always thought I was trying to get rid of him. But we got engaged rather early and 5 I was engaged for quite a long time. We still had to observe the curfew all the time. MF: You couldn't be married at that time, right? NH: No and my roommate got married. She only had about three or four months left and she got married. They found out about it and she was out of the program. MF: They kicked her out. NH: After the war she came back and went through the St. Benedict's program. It took her two years to finish those three months. She had two little girls. We were very close friends through all that time. I was engaged to my husband and he volunteered to the Navy and he did some interesting things. We had been engaged for about a year and a half and I asked if we could get married when he came home on leave. They decided I could. As far as I know, I was the only one they ever let get married. He was home for five days and I got pregnant. You had to spend the exact number of days—three hundred and sixty days a year for whatever thousand days it was—a long time. So I had to finish all of that. Sometimes I am listed in the class of '44 but I was really in '43 that I began. There were eighteen that started in our group and two quit. So there were sixteen of us that graduated. MF: I will have to make sure I check on that, see where you are at. NH: I consider '43 because those were the people that I was with all the time and got to know so well, even though I knew some in the class ahead of me. We had a choir. We all sang and went around to different wards and places and sang. Then we had dances. We had a lot of men that were going to be pilots for the 6 RAF and they had quite a contingency. We had dances and all these fellows would come to the dances. There was one romance that developed. One of my classmates married one who went over and was an RAF pilot and came back, was a doctor, and she moved to Lubbock, Texas. I was going through there many years later, fifteen to twenty years later, and I looked her up. She was working in the coronary unit when I called her. Her husband had been spraying his roses and died suddenly. He had a anaphylactic shock from the spray. She had been a widow for a few years. She never came back to Ogden. While we were students her mother died and I think her sister died so she had no one to come back to. Her name was Helen Johnson Hale. I've often wondered what has happened with her. There was one of our graduates that graduated with me, Francis George, no one ever heard from her. Not a word about where she went or what she did. It kind of leaves you wondering. MF: Your friend Karla Paul. NH: Karla Paul. Yes she was one of my classmates. The only thing I knew about her was she was from Cache Valley and her parents owned a grocery store so she never had to worry about food during the depression. I only saw her once or twice I after we graduated. MF: Yes, she is up in Richmond now. We had good visit with her. NH: I am glad to know that she is well. MF: So a typical day you said started at six. Did you have chapel? NH: Yes we attended Chapel at six-thirty. 7 MF: Then you had breakfast and then went on the floor. NH: Yes. MF: So what was the floor you enjoyed most while in training? NH: Oh I liked any of them. I worked a lot of nights. We took a lot of responsibility in our second and third year. I didn't have any special one. MF: So tell us about AM care and PM care. NH: AM care—I remember the first one that I gave. You would have a little basin and go in and have them wash their face and hands and brush their teeth. Then you would go back with a bigger basin to give them the bed bath. I had a young girl who had a heart condition and I went back to give her a bed bath and she had died. I was distraught. I went out in the hall calling for an intern and one was going by. You don't forget your first death, especially a younger person. PM care was pretty much like AM care. You would take a smaller basin in and they would wash their hands and brush their teeth, comb their hair and get ready for supper, and straighten the bed. Of course, most of the patients were in bed all of the time. None of this getting up and walking around, you thought they were going to die. When you think what happens now it is amazing. MF: It is true, they make you get up after surgery. NH: They don't even keep you in the hospital. I had both my knees done last year and got along beautifully. It was just wonderful, no pain and no pain after the surgery. Everything has improved. MF: It totally has. 8 NH: I am not sure the nursing care has improved. Now I think there is a lot of time not spent with the patient. As students you spent a lot of time with your patients. OB was always fun because the women were always happy and excited about a baby. Of course, they were in bed for at least a week or ten days. It was a whole different world at that time. MF: You said the nursing technology has improved. But the nursing itself… NH: You wonder how they can become acquainted with the patients because we'd get quite well acquainted with them, almost like families. Of course we learned to carry two bedpans at a time—usually just one tray of food. We were supposed to only carry one baby at a time but sometimes we would carry two. You always had that experience, you had one in each arm, turn around and there is a doctor, uh oh. You thought you were going to be kicked out right now. Anyway, it was different but it was fun. MF: You probably depended on your friends as far as getting through school and studying. NH: Yes, we did a lot of studying together and testing each other and all that sort of thing. I enjoyed that because it was so much fun to be with other people my age. MF: If you had a night off, what would you do with your friends? NH: They were a very naïve young group. Some decided to learn to drink beer. None of them had had beer. About six or eight of us went. Some liked it and some didn't. There was one of our classmates that liked beer. We called her "Slitz." You better not put that in there but anyway, it was just a new thing to them. We were kind of being brave and… 9 MF: Yes because you are on your own. NH: Yes. MF: Oh that is great. NH: We would go to town, we would walk because nobody had a car. So we would walk. We would go to Evelyn Helgesen's and have dinner at her house and she (her mother) would read the tea leaves for each of us and tell us all the things like you are going to marry a wealthy man and have so many children. We thought that was a lot of fun. MF: Do you remember any traditions with the Dee School of Nursing for holidays? NH: The war came and we have a lot of the fellows gone. I don't remember too many traditions. They would bring speakers in. I remember they brought a model in and she talked about how to walk and the clothes to wear and the shoes to wear. Then they had a person come in and talk about your feet and your shoes and how important that was. Traditions—I guess on Christmas morning we sang songs and went through the halls of the hospital singing carols. We did some caroling, the choir would go caroling in the neighborhood around there. MF: At that time were you required to attend church or was it a choice? NH: I don't know that it was required but I think everyone went. We had a capping ceremony, we had our caps and capes. Our capes were so pretty. We walked from the nurses home down to the chapel down on about Jackson and 23rd, 22nd or 23rd. It had stairs and we had our picture taken on the stairs. That was kind of a special thing. MF: That was after you had been in for… 10 NH: Six months. The idea was you were committed to stay and they were going to keep you. MF: Tell us about your graduation? When did that take place? NH: Well see I graduated with this other group. I don't remember much about it except that I was so glad to get there. MF: While you were in training were you paid any money at all? Do you remember? NH: No. We paid—my father had to borrow money to pay my tuition and that paid for your uniform, tuition, and books. We were supposed to have a stipend a month if you broke anything—you never got any of it. MF: The thermometers? NH: Yes, that was the usual thing. You would drop a bunch of thermometers and that would take care of that. We didn't get anything. MF: After you graduated did you stay at the Dee? NH: I had a baby, I had my son. The war was still on. My husband took all of the work to go with the fourth marines in the Navy corpsmen and he came home. They found some problems with his eyes and decided not to operate and send him home. I was so happy and he was so disappointed. Ninety percent of the corpsmen were killed in Iwo Jima. I was glad he came home. I stayed home taking care of the baby until I started taking care of friends who needed private duty care. They didn't have intensive care areas but we had private duty nurses. I started going back just taking care of some friends. I received five dollars for an eight hour shift; that was an increase from what we had been getting. I can't remember what it was before but when we got five dollars for eight hours we 11 thought we had it made. I remember this one older lady that had been working for awhile and she said, "You will never make that kind of money, five whole dollars for eight hours." We would work seven days a week. We were called on a case and worked until the patient got well or died and we took care of all the critical patients. We bought a home and of course, you know, we had expenses and another baby. I just kept working in private duty for awhile. MF: That was just at the hospital, right? NH: That was at the hospital. Occasionally we would go to the home but that was very rare. I worked mostly nights. MF: That is good. NH: Try to be there with the children during the day. MF: When did you retire? NH: I don't know for sure. MF: I don't think you have retired yet, have you? NH: Yes from nursing I have. All the time—when I was doing private duty my best friend was the Director of Nurses at the old Dee Hospital. One of my classmates helped them remodel the room just inside the 24th street door for the emergency room. Up to that time the emergencies were taken on the elevator to the fourth floor to the operating room. They had a couple of rooms up there. So she worked remodeling this area for the emergency room. The day before it opened she quit. So my friend came and said, "Will you do this temporarily until I can find somebody?" So I did it temporarily for eight years. I enjoyed it. It was very different. We had interns twenty-four hours a day for six weeks. We got to know 12 the interns really well. Mr. Knapp was the administrator or head of the hospital. He was encouraging people to go back to school and they were very good about it. So that is when I started back to school part-time and went back to get my bachelors degree. Then I got a scholarship and went on and got my masters degree. MF: Oh good. NH: When I got my master's degree I got this wonderful offer to go to Weber State but I continued working at the Dee Hospital as a supervisor part-time for thirty-five years. MF: Did you teach at Weber? NH: I taught at Weber. MF: How long did you teach? NH: Twenty-three years. I started in '65 and I retired twenty-three years after that, '88 or something like that. I continued working at McKay until they cut out supervisors. I was supervisor on weekends; Friday and Saturday nights and summers forever. When they cut the supervisors I went out to BHI, the Behavioral Institute and that was a really different kind of nursing. I quite enjoyed that. I worked nights out there for six years. I think I must have retired about '94 or '95 completely. MF: You had quite a bit of training everywhere. You did pretty much everything. NH: I did. I really enjoyed it and we had students at the Davis Hospital. It was interesting—I could get out to the Davis Hospital in about the same length of time as I could go to the old St. Benedict's. I had students at both places, all three 13 places, McKay Dee, Davis and Ogden Regional. I really taught mostly orthopedic nursing. MF: Oh good. NH: I enjoyed that. Teaching was a real challenge. I learned a lot all the time I was teaching. We had such good faculty to work with and the best students. The thing I liked about it was the students were so motivated. They were there because they wanted to learn and they were there because it was hard to get into and they knew that. The thing about nursing, you have to love it. You shouldn't be in it if not. It was interesting how many students would get into it and decide they didn't like it. They would usually finish the nursing but then they would do something else. That always kind of surprised me that they wouldn't know before that but I know any number of them who left nursing completely. MF: Wow that is interesting. NH: Of course, if they don't like people—and a few people didn't like people—then there were places in nursing you didn't have to be with people—like in the operating room or different places. But anyway, I have to say—I mentioned that we were the last class to go through the kitchen. I think we were the last class that went through the lab. That was an interesting experience. Of course, we did washing glassware and helping the technician. I liked the lab. I went on and taught venipunctures for years. I would take the students—I would have them meet me at six in the morning and we would pick up the blood for the lab all over the hospital. I thought that was a good experience for them and I liked that. MF: That is good. 14 NH: In fact, I was thinking that I wouldn't mind going and doing something rambunctious because it is a real challenge. When you are standing in the grocery store you are looking at people's arms and thinking, "I could get that one." In other words you never leave it. MF: That is true. It is probably just something that is going to stay with you. NH: I think that is a problem probably for your children. I know when I was in charge of the Emergency Room, my youngest son—I always said, "Be careful, don't do this." Finally, he said, "I am not going to have an accident like you are always seeing every day." I think it was hard on my family. Now the personnel know what is in the ambulance, what has been done for them, everything about them. We just had things arrive at the door. It was quite a challenge many times to handle whatever came in the door. MF: Did you know any of the members of the Dee family at all? NH: Elizabeth Stewart was our pink lady in the emergency room for years. Just the nicest person you would ever want to meet. She was always just a sweet, wonderful lady. I got to know her very well. I thought so much of her. MF: She did a lot of good for the community. NH: Oh yes. Her husband was just as nice as she was. MF: I know she wanted to be a nurse but never had the opportunity. That was her way of giving back. NH: She loved being in with the patients and doing whatever she could for them. 15 MF: That is nice to hear that. Did you have any memories you have thought of while we have been talking about your time while you were in training? Is there anything else that has come to mind? NH: The one thing I think often is I dropped a dinner tray once when I was getting my trays in line. I didn't know what to do. I walked away and this lady came and reprimanded me for walking away and not picking it up. I had never had anything like that happen. I was devastated. Isn't that funny? I think your mind is like a camera. You have all kinds of pictures that flash back to you sometimes. It is usually something really good or really bad. But that is the bad thing that I often remember being at—I just didn't know what to do. MF: That would be hard because you are like, "What do I do now?" NH: Of course, I enjoyed the food. It was always nice. I enjoyed it because when you are an only child—we ate very well but we didn't have a lot of choices—I used to go to Ruth Brown, her maiden name was Donaldson, and there were twelve children in her family. I loved to go to her home because they always had jell-o and cake. We didn't make a cake because there was only three of us and jell-o was kind of a special thing. Isn't that funny, the things that you remember? MF: We are very glad we got to interview Ruth and talk and visit with her. It was fun to have her reminisce the things that she told us. NH: Her background was so fantastic. She had a wonderful mind. Her siblings were special—all of them are wonderful people. Her mom and dad—her dad was an amazing man. Seventeen children. MF: Isn't that amazing? 16 NH: Yes it is hard to believe but her home was so full of activities and fun. I lived in an apartment. My father wouldn't buy a home. That is why when my family wanted me to go into a condominium, that is an apartment—I don't want to do that. It is nice to have a home of your own. MF: What do you think was one of your greatest challenges while in nurse's training? NH: I was thinking about that the other day, yesterday as a matter of fact. When I thought about going into nursing there was one thing that really worried me. I bet I spent nights worrying about it—how to make a bed with a patient in it. MF: Yes. NH: Just the idea—I could not imagine how you would ever do that. I was putting my sheets on the bed. I worried so much about that and yet it was such a simple thing. MF: You had never done it before. NH: No, I never had. I couldn't figure out how you would ever do something like that. We did the usual things. We had to sterilize the IV tubing and we did all the working in the stock department where we would have to sharpen the needles. I remember once I dropped a little medicine glass and was cut. I have still got the scar right there from the little medicine glass that cut me. We gave a lot of labor to the hospital. The hospital nursing programs did all the care—we were running the hospitals actually. When the girls graduated, many of them didn't have jobs before the war. They went into public health or private duty. The war changed the whole country as far as the needs for people. The Bushnell Hospital—about the time I was a senior, is when they started going up there. Of course, you 17 know they did all the experimental work with penicillin at the Bushnell Hospital. We were one of the first hospitals to use it here and we would give like ten or fifteen thousand units every three hours. That was a big amount. Then three or four or five years later it was a million units. At the time they didn't know what it was going to do. Sulfa came just before penicillin. We had a friend whose baby died from sulfonamide poisoning. We didn't know about that. We didn't know much about the antibiotics. Those were the first two that we used. MF: That has probably made a difference as far as people's health. NH: Survival. MF: Yes. NH: I can remember terrible lung things. They would make openings into the lung and have drainage tubes and irrigating their wounds. We just didn't have the knowledge. We had a lot of equipment that we had to sterilize and have available. At night we would have to call an intern to start an IV. MF: Oh they didn't let you do that? NH: Oh no. We didn't do that. We gave IM's but we didn't give any kind of IV medication at all. We had to call an intern and get them out of bed. MF: That is interesting. NH: They would get grumpy sometimes—understandably when they were on twenty-four hour call. We had some interesting experiences with the residents. One man was from back East, he was putting his time in and he was so superior. He didn't really like medicine at all. He had a patient come in and he had to do an 18 emergency tracheostomy. He became a doctor in a flash, suddenly. He saved a life and it was just like a light bulb went on and he was a different man. MF: Wow. NH: It was the most amazing experience to get to know him as well as we did before and then have him suddenly change like that. MF: That is interesting. NH: Then we had another resident who was a Quaker. He came to work one day and he was all scratched and abraised. He had taken his family up to Snow Basin for a picnic and he said, "I'll walk over the mountain. I have to be to the hospital. I'll just go over and down to the hospital, to the old Dee." He found out that mountain wasn't just a little hill. He ended up scraping and falling down it. The amazing thing about him was, he was committed to give some time to the government. He chose the Indian service. They said he would be on an island in the Aleutians. It was an island where they didn't have services of any kind. They would have to drop mail and supplies—his wife had to get all the food, the clothing, and everything for their four children for the year that he would be on that island. I have often wondered how they came out. We all thought that was amazing that that was what he chose and she went along and was going to have those four little children on an island in the Aleutians. MF: Wow. NH: I think it was a two year commitment he had to give to the government. MF: That would be interesting. 19 NH: It was interesting. Then of course there was one doctor, Doctor Hyde, I have to say his name because he is the only one of all the residents we ever had who came out of his education without debt. He had quite a family. I can't remember how many children he had, but his wife was telling us how when he was in school in Chicago, how they would come out home to Utah and get bags of beans and she would figure out ways to cook them. They would go down to Price and get sacks of coal. They would go on the tracks and pick up the coal. He came out of his education not owing a penny. MF: Wow. NH: But he had more common sense than anybody you ever met. Such a wonderful way with patients. He was a special person. MF: That is probably nice for you as a nurse to work with such great doctors. It probably made it so much better. NH: It was. There are some—they each have their own personalities of course. There are some that you think so much of and some that you—you never say anything negative but you kind of roll your eyes a little bit when someone says, "Oh aren't they wonderful?" You realize they are human. MF: Yes they are. NH: Time is one of the most important things you have whatever age of life you are in. The time you can spend with people is what they remember. It isn't even what you do with them or for them or to them but it is that you cared enough to be there for that length of time. I guess that is what we actually did as students. We couldn't at the desks—where we did our charting. If the doctors came in, of 20 course you stood up and waited on them and all those wonderful things. We didn't congregate there. Sometimes at night we would have doctors come around in the middle of the night and want to visit about something or other. Most of the time we would be in the patient's rooms. We had wards. We had the two twelve bed wards, men's and women's. We had several four bed wards or six bed wards and you would get in there working for one patient and go from one to the other. You did spend time with the people. When you would take a tray in you didn't just let it down, you had to be sure they could reach everything and everything was available. I have often thought being a waitress is a good thing to do before you go into nursing to take care of people because people come in a restaurant they are hungry and unhappy many times. You kind of have to baby them a little bit, give them a little extra attention. That is what all of us want. MF: That is true. We appreciate you letting us come visit with you today. NH: Oh, I have enjoyed it. I will probably think of a lot of things I would have talked about but it is nice to think about them. I remember in diet kitchen, the class we took down at Weber, the lady there was very conservative with everything and food and things like that. One day she said to me, "Make a hard cooked egg." The only hard cooked egg I had ever had was a fried egg. That is not what she had in mind. It is semantics too a lot. Like our students when I taught nursing, I thought they missed a lot of that getting together. They had a student nurse association and I was the advisor to it for maybe ten years or so. I went all over the country with them to their meetings and things. There they had the 21 opportunity to get to know each other in a different setting, a social setting and away from the hospital, I guess you could say. I thought that was pretty good. I don't think if it is still functioning. It was a good thing then. MF: That is probably what the Weber nurses didn't get—that close association where you are with somebody 24/7 for three years. You have to rely on the other person instead of just going to class and doing your clinicals and stuff. It probably did make a difference. NH: Yes we walked up and down 24th street and picked out which house we thought we would like to have. We would look at each one as we would go up and down and talk about our future husbands and families. We had one neat lady from Delta and she was from a big family. She had to work to make the money to come to our program. She worked in a home in Salt Lake as a cook and maid. She could cook—she would go to Delta and bring back squash or meats and cook a meal for all of us—for sixteen of us. MF: Wow. NH: It was so easy. She would make rolls and she could just do everything. She was just such a special gal. MF: Is that Maxine? NH: Maxine. MF: Maxine Jackson? NH: Yes. How did you know about her? MF: We have interviewed her daughter Saundra. NH: Maxine died? 22 MF: Yes. NH: I think she was up in Cache Valley when she died in a nursing home or something. MF: 2006? I can't remember. NH: What about her daughter? What is she doing? MF: She lives down the street a little bit. She is just above Harrison. NH: Really? What is her name? MF: Her name is Saundra Stauffer. NH: Stauffer? MF: Yes I'll have to get her address for you. NH: I wonder if she is related to Marie Stauffer. MF: I don't know. NH: Marie was one from Cache Valley. I didn't know Maxine had a family here in town. MF: Yes she has a daughter. I'll make sure I get her address. NH: That would be fun. I would like to talk with her about Maxine. I admired all the things that she could do. It was just so easy for her—such a neat lady. MF: Yes she called and we interviewed her in October. NH: We had one gal in our class who had had a baby and gave it away. When we talked about the commitment you have—how you feel about a baby before it's born and after it's born she had a completely different perspective then all the rest of us who had never had any experience at all like that. That was a good thing for us to find that perspective. 23 MF: That is true. NH: But most of us were just really young—eighteen and she was probably twenty. You get a group of eighteen year olds and I don't know what they would be now but then we were very naïve and innocent and eager to please and be nurses. That was the focus of all of the students that we have been involved with. I don't think there has been more than ten who really didn't want nursing and didn't like it that stayed and finished and got into something else. MF: That is interesting. You can either do it or you can't. It isn't that people don't have the compassion but being able to deal with the emotion part of it. That is probably what is hard. NH: Yes. You can do almost anything when you can see that it is going to help somebody. The most frustrating thing is when you can't help them. There is nothing you can do. That is very difficult for the nurses and the family. In private duty we got so involved with the families, you almost had to be part of the family. We would stay with them until they got better or died. We had the last big polio epidemic in '56 I think and I took care of a young man named Raymon and he was from Cache Valley. He was a student body officer at Utah State, was married and had a baby and his wife was going to have another baby. He was paralyzed from the neck down. His family did so many things, creative things, to keep him going. He was a brilliant boy. I flew with him to California, they sent him down to El Centro for rehabilitation. I flew down with him and went back and picked him up and they had not done anything that they should have done. I kept track of him and he had got his master's. He worked at the nuclear center in 24 Las Vegas. His wife left him and then he died. He lived for about fifteen or twenty years. Doctor Hale, our nose and throat man, he called me and told me he had died. Some patients you don't forget. They are just special people and make so much special efforts. Polio was terrible. It is wonderful not to have to deal with it now. MF: Well we appreciate you letting us come. Thank you.

Campbell's Select Harvest Light Vegetable Beef & Barley Soup lured me in with the promise of a bounty of delicious barley in the picture on the front of the label. After having several soups from the Campbell's Select Harvest line, I was accustomed to the tomato soup base and was able to focus on what was inside the soup. The vegetables, including carrots celery, and peas, were soft and carried the taste of the soup well.
Like the picture, the beef was cut into small cubes and tasted a little dry on the inside but were not bad nonetheless. The barley was delicious, adding heartiness to the soup, but having more of the barley would have made the soup even better.
A 1 cup serving of Campbell's Select Harvest Light Vegetable Beef & Barley Soup provides 80 calories and 1.5 grams of fat, 20% of the daily value for sodium, 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein.
An 18.6 ounce can of soup was on sale at Kroger for $1.25, but it normally sells for $2.89. The heartiness of the soup was much appreciated on a cold day. Except for the sodium which is about the same as most low sodium soups, the nutrition facts are pretty good - and I like the fiber and protein combination.
While the ingredients list is a little lengthy, the Campbell's Select line of soups are 100% natural. Overall, this is one canned soup I would buy again and again. It was hearty and filling.

So know what is going to happen with the tomato suspension agreement U.S "Florida growers" wanted to put into effect against Mexico, and know the U.S. is going to have to go back and try to work some issues out with Mexican growers and then guess who has the upper hand.
It's a shame to watch companies that have been a pillar in the tomato business go under. (woodys,nobles,RVC,tomato man, severt,thomas etc..). 90 percent for the success of a business is administering costs and having employees protect the employer. Nafta was not the downfall of the companies, nor was competition from Mexico. Competition is good because it helps business stay on their toes and rethink the business mission. No debt, keep costs down and maintain customer relation are top priority in keeping a business afloat. In the produce business, it's not the company that makes most money that wins, it's the company who lasts the longest!
I do not see in the picture abandon production infrastructure, where are the greenhouses or shadehouses from Florida going out of business? Ohh!! no one built any over there, correct? I don't care what industry you are in, if you do not invest in research, production innovation, efficiency and become more competitive, you probably will go out of business. The consumer dose not have to pay more, because someone is inefficient , Right? If you can not deliver a high quality tomato, at a competitive price, you will go out of business. And that will happened in Florida, Mexico, Netherlands, or anywhere...
PANDO, you said it right. "No debt, keep costs down, maintain customer relations" & I say maximize your operation--don't go hog wild and do more than last years yield if it was profitable or down. Pay your bills & keep your suppliers happy. You're right, NAFTA was not totally the downfall of the companies---just plain good marketing & perseverance, competition builds strength in any endeavor of life.
Would there be a possiblity for our volunteers to come in and glean what is not being harvested?

text: I got these flip-flops for a vacation where I would be doing a lot of walking, but didn't want to wear shoes. Merrell never disappoints with the quality and comfort of their flip flops. I love this sandal. They are sturdy enough for many different terrains and the grips on the bottom even did ok when I was walking on ice. I really like the ribbon style thong as some of the more stringy thongs don't feel as sturdy when walking over more difficult terrains. When I first got the shoe, the straps were a little tight around my foot, but they quickly gave way and formed to my feet giving me a very comfortable fit. Merrell's quality, comfort and functionality cannot be topped. LOVE THIS SANDAL!

"The programs I have been in contact with and researched are mainly instructor-led, where they are going to stand in front of [the class] for 30 to 40 minutes to discuss substance abuse," said Tanya Southerland, Going Respectfully Against Addictive Behaviors director.
Health Rocks offers a hands-on approach. The program is designed to actively engage participants each session. Southerland said two levels will be taught: beginning and intermediate. Ten activities have been chosen for both levels.
Southerland and Lynne Middleton, the University of Tennessee's 4-H Clubs Extension agent for Bradley County, received training from the coordinator of the program. Southerland will facilitate Health Rocks in Cleveland and Bradley County with the help of GRAAB volunteers.
"GRAAB's goals fit exactly with what 4H Health Rocks does," Southerland said. "We decided to facilitate the program with materials, support and training from the UT Extension office."
According to the Health Rocks plan of action, Southerland and her team hope to reach at least 750 youth in the community. She said discussions are currently under way with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland, the YMCA and various summer programs.
Schools have not been contacted yet so as not to disrupt classroom time.
The two groups are separated by age. Southerland said the beginning course is designed for ages 8-12, whereas the intermediate is for youth 12-16.
"We are reigniting the [drug, alcohol, addictive behaviors] conversation as they go into their middle and high school settings, which can either be a wonderful or stressful experience," Southerland said. "The pressure may be there to turn to drugs."
She said the program emphasizes conversations already taking place at school and between parents and their children.
"This program shows youth what health looks like. We will tell them, 'If you potentially make the decision to smoke or engage in underage drinking, these are the consequences.'"
Continued Southerland, "This program focuses on team building, leadership, making the proper decisions and engaging the kids with the material."
Almost $4,000 was awarded to Southerland and Middleton in grant money for the program. The grant covers the cost for supplies and start-up. It can be reapplied for each year.
Southerland said she anticipates the GRAAB coalition to continue the program even without the grant.
"We would just really have to find a supply chain for paper, glue and other resources," Southerland said. "I am confident in the volunteers we are seeking out and who are signing up. They will stay in place so we can keep this up in the community."
Roughly 10 volunteers have already agreed to help out with the youth-oriented program. Southerland said an additional 10 would ensure a team of two for every session.
She said she does not want instructors to feel overburdened if they have to teach and monitor materials simultaneously.
Students will engage in a variety of activities and topics to include (but not be limited to):
n Is that a fact?
n Is it legal or illegal?
n Take a deep breath. In this activity, participants have three straws: large, small and a coffee stirrer. They are instructed to pinch their nose close and attempt to breathe through the straws for one minute.
This activity is designed to show them the breathing difficulties associated with a person who smokes.
n How to say "No!"
n Circle of Friends; and
n Messages in our community.
"Everything they learn from the first nine activities will be used in an opportunity to help GRAAB create some type of campaign," Southerland said. "We will let the students really take hold and create something as a way to give back to the community."
"It could be anything from a public service announcement to a billboard."
Additional materials provided by GRAAB will supplement the materials. These will include displays of tar buildup after a year of smoking, "pickled livers," the effects of drinking on the body, information on third-hand smoking and fatal vision glasses among others.
For more information, contact Tanya Southerland at the GRAAB Coalition by calling 472-5800.

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

U Matter
When Casey Jo Snyder BA '08 graduated with a double major in finance and math, she knew that someday she wanted to donate to Anderson University. She had appreciated her experience at AU and had received scholarships and aid herself, so she wanted to give back someday — someday when she was settled and financially secure, when she had larger sums of money to contribute. But when Snyder received a mailing about the U Matter campaign, she realized someday didn't have to be years in the future.U Matter is an initiative that reaches out to young alums and is an important part of the Dreams. Discovery. Direction. campaign. For recent grads just starting out in the world, life events such as marriage, starter homes, and bundles of joy don't leave much money for donating. With U Matter the focus is not on the amount of the gift, but on the participation itself. Even though recent grads may not have the large amounts that are usually associated with capital campaigns, they can still be involved in the mission and the growth of Anderson University.
For Snyder, a financial management analyst with the Department of Defense, a U Matter donation made sense. Her donation was what she might normally spend on dinner and a movie. "I can handle that," says Snyder. "Even just a small amount can make an impact, especially when a large amount of people are doing that."
Snyder believes in AU and was compelled to give because she felt the education she received at AU couldn't have been duplicated anywhere else. Two important influences on her as an AU student, besides the high quality of her education, were her relationships with her professors and her involvement with the Tri-S program.
Snyder's professors invested in her life in a personal way that has continued after graduation. She still keeps in contact with them through phone calls and e-mails, sharing her personal and professional achievements. "A lot of my friends at work went to larger universities, and they just didn't have that connection with their professors," she says. "Going to AU definitely changed my life, and a lot of that had to do with the interaction I had with my professors."
Her Tri-S experiences were also life changing. During her time as a student, Snyder took eight Tri-S trips. Her travels included countries such as Honduras, Guatemala, Peru, and Australia. She had never left the United State before becoming involved with Tri-S, and looking back she realizes Tri-S opened up her worldview. "I think in my mind I saw the world as like suburban America, and that's the furthest thing from the truth," says Snyder.
Shortly after beginning her job with the Department of Defense, Snyder had to travel to Afghanistan as part of her work. She feels her Tri-S experiences prepared her for traveling to an unfamiliar culture. "Obviously, Afghanistan is different than Latin America," says Snyder, "but having those experiences prior, I felt so much more comfortable. I felt like I was an asset."
Giving to Anderson University doesn't have to be something on the distant horizon of "someday." Continuing to be involved with the AU family is what matters, even if the gift is small. "Even though I'm just starting out, I can give back," says Snyder, and she encourages others to consider doing the same. "You can feel like you're a part of what's going on," she says. "It's a great place to grow. There are a lot of good things going on there."

"The movement that is now spreading from Japan across Europe"
This quote from the Norwegian artist Gerhard Munthe (1849–1929) refers to one of the main trends in European art from the mid-19th century through the early decades of the 20th century.
In 1853, Japan opened its borders to the outside world after 200 years of isolation. This lead to a cult of all things Japanese among European artists – a movement labelled as Japonism from the 1860s–70s onward. This Japanese-inspired art did not constitute a style as such, but greatly influenced a number of styles in European art. In the 1880s and 1890s, Japonism became a major ingredient of the Art Nouveau style. In Norway, Art Nouveau peaked in popularity in the years between 1890 and 1910.
This exhibition looks at the connections between the Art Nouveau style, the nation-building project in Norway, and the Japonism movement as expressed in Norwegian Art Nouveau. Starting with Gerhard Munthe, considered the leading proponent of Japonism in Norway, the exhibition highlights connections between Japonism and the distinct national character of Norwegian Art Nouveau in terms of technique, range of motifs, format, and choice of materials.
Plus de deux mois de travaux d'embellissement et de modernisation cet été, confiés à l'agence Duthilleul, en lien avec la Direction régionale des affaires culturelles (DRAC) et les bâtiments historiques, ont été nécessaires pour redonner à cette brasserie de luxe son aspect d'autrefois.
L'architecture du lieu, construit dans le cadre de l'Exposition universelle de 1900, est luxuriante: or, stuc, fresques picturales.
Pour ce projet "hors normes", le restaurant "a été entièrement refait, les fresques et peintures nettoyées, les stucs et dorures rénovés, les 1.000 m2 de parquet remplacés, les 800 m2 de cuisine rénovés, les murs avec les boiseries et les plafonds nettoyés, l'électricité remise aux normes.
Venice evokes the figure of the woman and the myth that fascinated d'Annunzio and his follies became the muse of the greatest artists of the time as Boldini, Bakst, by Marinetti in Balla, from Man Ray to Alberto Martini, Van Dongen Romain and Brooks.
Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, one of the "places" most loved by the Divine Marchesa, will be the site of the first extraordinary exhibition dedicated to Luisa Casati Stampa, the woman who in the early twentieth century, with the exaggerated makeup, the transgressive and eccentric performance and life over the top, he was able to transform itself into a work of art, a living legend, disturbing and surprising representation of modernity and avant-garde.
The exhibition, conceived by Daniela Ferretti, edited by Fabio Benzi and Gioia Mori, is co-produced by the Civic Museums Foundation of Venice and 24 ORE Cultura - Gruppo 24 Ore, has over one hundred works, including paintings, drawings, jewelry, sculptures, photographs and clothes from private collections and international museums.
The extraordinary collection of art works and portraits that were devoted to her or commissioned pieces will be on display in the exhibition come from private collections, such as the head of polychrome ceramic work of Renato Bertelli, The Marchesa Casati Romain and Brooks and sculpture by Paolo Troubetzkoy portrait of the Marchesa Casati with a greyhound. He subsequently joined by masterpieces from museums around the world such as Portrait of the Marchesa Casati by Giovanni Boldini GNAM of Rome, Marchesa Casati by Augustus Edwin John the Art Gallery of Ontario, the many portraits which he dedicated Alberto Martini, Lines of force landscape maiolicato of Giacomo Balla and jewelry by Cartier inspired her.
To note is the many photographs of Luisa Casati Stampa: from the shots of Gayne Adolphe de Meyer, Man Ray and Mariano Fortuny, to those stolen, when he lived in poverty in London, Cecil Beaton.
The exhibition, through constant references, reconstructs the social and artistic life of the crossed Luisa Casati Stampa: the gilded cage of high society encounter with Gabriele d'Annunzio - that forever changed and became a bond of love and friendship that lasted a lifetime - from the extravagant costumes, the practice of the occult period to arrive at the "futurist" Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in which he meets and marries the cause of the artistic movement, promoting artists and collecting their works , ending with economic ruin and exile in the British capital where he died in July 1957.
Three floors of Palazzo Fortuny "immerse" the visitor into the atmosphere in which he lived the Divine Marchesa that, for half a century, he was a living legend, a dark lady, a major art collector and patron, muse of the Symbolists, the Fauves, Futurists and surrealists: a myth that still inspires artists today and the great house of haute couture.
Le Musée du Luxembourg présente la première exposition consacrée à Paul Durand-Ruel (1831 – 1922), le plus grand marchand d'art du XIXe siècle, découvreur des Impressionnistes et inventeur du marché de l'art moderne. Autour de Cézanne, Renoir ou Monet, le parcours réunit quatre-vingts chefs-d'oeuvre de l'impressionnisme et retrace le moment où une avant-garde artistique accède à la reconnaissance internationale sous l'impulsion d'un marchand passionné.
Cette exposition est organisée par la Réunion des musées nationaux - Grand Palais en collaboration avec le musée d'Orsay, la National Gallery Londres et le Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The Cultural Innovation International Prize is a biennial competition organised by the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) with the aim of incentivising projects that explore the potential cultural scenarios of the coming years through research and practice. The first edition of the Prize ties in with the 20th anniversary of the CCCB.
For this call for entries, corresponding to 2014-2015, the theme is "Audience/s".
The Arts window by J. & R. Lamb Studios is the centerpiece of this major new exhibition that illustrates the rich diversity of styles that made up the aesthetic environment of the late 19th century in both Europe and America. Lamb Studios, a prominent American glasshouse of the era, exhibited the 1894 neoclassical window widely. In preparation for its debut at the Morse, the window, more than eight feet in diameter, underwent extensive conservation. The installation features 20 additional leaded-glass windows and selections of art glass, pottery, and furniture, a number of which also have never been exhibited. Other windows on view—some avant-garde, others reviving the past—include examples by Tiffany Studios, John LaFarge, Frank Lloyd Wright, Edward Burne-Jones, Donald MacDonald, and Heaton, Butler & Bayne.
Exposition exceptionnelle de plus de 150 oeuvres de l'artiste pour célébrer le 150ème anniversaire de sa naissance.
Around 1900, writer Henri van Booven (1877-1964) befriended the artist Carel de Nerée tot Babberich (1880-1964). The latter worked in the style of Aubrey Beardsley, while Van Booven would become Louis Couperus' first biographer. He got to know the writer's work thanks to his friend De Nerée. The author introduced the artist to the work of Aubrey Beardsley. Both admired Louis Couperus, especially the novel Extasy (1892). For the first time in one hundred years a series of drawings which De Nerée made for this novel which will be on show together. The exhibition also features documents and books from Van Booven's private archive and library.
The exhbition is put together by Sander Bink, specialist on the Dutch Fin-de Siècle. To the occasion of this show the beautifully illustrated book Carel de Nerée tot Babberich en Henri van Booven. Den Haag in het fin de siècle will presented at the vernissage (published by WBOOKS, Apeldoorn, together with the Louis Couperus Museum).
This exhibition was made possible by financial contributions from Foundation Gifted Art and a sponsor who wishes to remain anonymous. The accompanying pubication was financed by the Foundation Harten Fonds and the M.A.O.C. Gravin van Bylandt Foundation.
In 2014 the Museum commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Ödön Lechner (1845–1914), one of the greatest Hungarian architects and one of the original geniuses of the European architectural scene at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. To mark this anniversary, the Institute of Art History of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest are jointly organizing an international conference and an exhibition.
This exhibition presents the whole scope of the work of the architect Ödön Lechner. Special attention is paid to five major works, nominated for UNESCO World Heritage Site status: the Kecskemét City Hall, the parish church of Budapest-Kőbánya, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Institute of Geology, and the Postal Savings Bank. Visitors can familiarise themselves with these through the architect's original plans and drawings, as well as period and modern photographs. Working drawings of the ornaments so crucial to Lechner's work, the publications which inspired him, and examples of the Zsolnay ceramic in which they were realized are also presented. One of the rooms evokes the world of the Japan Coffee House, Lechner's second home, another acommodates a panoramic movie of his major works.
À l'occasion du 200e anniversaire de la naissance d'Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879), cette exposition rétrospective présente l'œuvre singulière de ce grand architecte, théoricien et restaurateur, fondateur du musée de Sculpture comparée dont le musée des Monuments français est l'héritier.
Eugène Viollet-le-Duc est l'un des rares architectes du XIXe siècle dont la mort n'ait pas éteint la célébrité mais l'ait au contraire affirmée.
Malgré des polémiques, ses travaux de restauration et son œuvre font toujours référence pour les professionnels de l'architecture et son génie a marqué l'histoire de l'art et de l'architecture du Moyen Âge. Longtemps, les historiens se sont attachés à mettre en perspective sa science archéologique, sa doctrine en matière de restauration et son activité au service du patrimoine. À partir des années 1970, les idées qu'il avait exprimées en matière de création architecturale furent à leur tour objet d'étude et de controverses.
Aujourd'hui, trente ans après la dernière exposition monographique qui lui fut consacrée à Paris, ce sont les aspects les moins connus et les plus inattendus de cet artiste aux talents multiples qui sont présentés au public, pour témoigner de la richesse et de la complexité de sa personnalité. On connaît le caractère rationnel de sa démarche : il est question ici de souligner son côté visionnaire. Il s'agit, en d'autres termes, d'illustrer l'intimité qui existe entre le système positiviste qu'il incarne et ses délires romantiques, sources mêmes de son génie. Surgit peu à peu une personnalité étrange et complexe, hyperactive et féconde, mobilisant un savoir encyclopédique au service d'un projet politique tout autant qu'esthétique.
Une figure majeure du XIXe siècle français.
Curated by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller, this major exhibition brings together rarely seen works by William Morris and Andy Warhol.
Love is Enough will examine the prolific careers of these two figures, each of whom developed an artistic practice and a conceptual framework that helped to define the centuries in which they lived. The exhibition draws together works from public and private collections across the UK and the USA. They include the epic and rarely seen Holy Grail tapestries completed by Morris in 1896, a selection of Warhol's iconic silkscreens and archival material from the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, including a signed photograph of Shirley Temple posted to a thirteen-year old Andy from the actress in 1941.
Special installation of works from the permanent collection of the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza.
Location: Room 33 on the first floor.
The artists of turn-of-the-century Paris witnessed the rapid transformation of women's role in society and, headed by the Impressionists, became chroniclers of the incipient process of women's emancipation. A new installation featuring nine works from the permanent collection by painters such as Degas, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec and Modigliani that illustrate the image of women in the Paris of 1900 will be on show in room 33 until 8 February. The artists depict them in streets, theatres, cafés and shops and cover the full social spectrum: from elegant ladies of the haute bourgeoisie to working-class women.
The visit is included in the admission and opening hours for the permanent collection.
The First War ends an historical time that the French bourgeoisie called "Belle Epoque" and destabilizes the European culture. Films selected in this programme evoke the end of this legendary period of carefreeness and of faith in progress.
In collaboration with visit.brussels.
For the first time in its history, the MFA will exhibit a painting by Gustav Klimt—among the most important artists of the early 20th century.
Adam and Eve (1917–18) will be on loan from the Belvedere Museum in Vienna as part of the MFA's Visiting Masterpiece series, giving visitors a taste of the artist's signature style, including his sensuous approach to the nude, his bold experiments with pattern, color, and finish, and his exploration of human consciousness and desire. The work will be juxtaposed with the MFA's life-sized study of a nude couple, Two Nudes (Lovers) (1913), painted by Klimt's Viennese friend and colleague, Oskar Kokoschka. No more than five years separate the two paintings, which share many features—ambitious scale, daring experiments with form and finish, and, above all, a fascination with sexuality. Each is, in its own way, a product of Freud's Vienna, but also of a singular artist with a singular vision.
Organised by the Réseau Art Nouveau Network in the framework of the European project "Art Nouveau & Ecology" (2010-2015) supported by the Culture 2007-2013 programme of the European Commission, the exhibition comprises two identical concurrent exhibitions and has begun its journey to all partner cities in October 2013.
After Barcelona, the exhibition The Nature of Art Nouveau 1 will be presented in Ljubljana at the Narodni Muzej Slovenije, fifth step of its European journey, from 20 January until 19 April 2015.
This exhibition is free and bilingual Slovene-English.
With the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union

American Beauty Skin Care aspires to resemble a blend between the Estee Lauder and Clinique makeup and skin-care lines, and-sort of-succeeds. Just one look at the packaging, brochures, and ads and you'll know what we mean. Yet a mix of poor packaging and relatively lackluster formulations doesn't instill much confidence. From all appearances, Lauder was trying to create the concept of department-store quality with mass-market pricing. The number of products in jar packaging is just out of touch with reality, especially when you consider the well-established facts surrounding ingredient instability when formulations are exposed to air or light. These formulas won't deliver for very long in containers that aren't airtight. Yes, the jar packaging does have a Lauderesque look, but that won't keep the antioxidants stable, or the plant extracts or cell-communicating ingredients around for very long after opening, and that's what counts for your skin.
Several different moisturizers, each with varying claims (anti-aging, antiwrinkle, hydrating), are available, but beyond the different names the basic configuration of the specialty ingredients is almost the same from product to product, with only minor variations. Essentially, regardless of the claim and the product, you are applying the same ingredients to your skin.
Then there's this good question: Why do the American Beauty skin-care products contain fragrance and coloring agents, while the Good Skin products don't? (Good Skin is also part of the Lauder family, reviewed elsewhere in this book.) Lauder can't seem to make up its corporate mind about this, because among their different product lines they continually vacillate on this issue. Just to set the record straight, coloring agents and fragrance have no benefit or purpose for skin care, and they can be detrimental by causing skin irritation or sensitization. If they aren't good for the Good Skin products, they shouldn't be good for American Beauty products either.
Speaking of fragrance, one quirky characteristic of this line is that many of the skincare products contain Rosa American Beauty extract, from the American Beauty rose. Clever identification aside, this fragrant additive imparts no benefit for skin. All in all, we suggest you pass by these products and walk a counter over to the Good Skin section, where there are far better options and the prices are noticeably lower.

You can uncover some gems in the comparably smaller selection of American Beauty Makeup.

Apparently not
I love how the only guy willing to show his cock is the only guy who's fully clothed.
Looks like the first guy has the biggest tits,
second guy the biggest teeth and
the third guy the only penis...
Maybe they couldn't handle the comparisons?!?...lol

I know what I want to order
^ actually that's a rugby team followed around by a camera crew for Brit TV getting drunk and experimenting with each other- the video is interesting- and the guy with his dick out- Tim Oakes went on to do several full nude photo scenes/erect, and a JO video
No shirt, no shoes, no service- Didn't say anything about pants though
^ that pic...too funny for so many reasons
Bad decisions make good stories.
Immersion Therapy for pee-shyness
I know a (straight!) bar with a piss-trench like that. No urinals, just a mirror and water slowly running down the mirror. Which of course doesn't block any view
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
^ I've never seen mirrors like that in a restroom. I have seen clear glass dividers at the urinals, which was funny.
Boys will be boys....

Trailer trash
Judging from his "Jersey Shore" haircut, he seems to be a rare hybrid of guido and trailer trash. I think I shall call him "Guido Trash".
Shenanigans! There is no way that thing is real.
He can hose e down with his big super soaker anytime.

Reference pic 7025 and 7031.a
I don't think the boy is trailer trash. That looks like an AirStream he is standing in front of.
A low end unit does now for about $60,000 and that doesn't include the vehicle to pull it.
He appears clean, healthy and shows no signs of the visectitudes of trailer trash living. The
hairdo may be youthful exuberance but the cut does not look cheap nor does his underwear
athletic socks. His penis would indicate he is not a practicing Jew. Other then that, it's
anybodys guess. Thanks Mike for the picture/conundrum, that was fun..

Gwynne Dyer: The economic power shift and decline of the West
You know the story-line by now. There are one million U.S.-dollar millionaires in China. ("To get rich is glorious," said former leader Deng Xiao-ping.) Seventy percent of the homes in China are bought for cash. China's total trade—the sum of imports and exports—is now bigger than that of the United States. "They're going to eat our lunch," whimper the faint-hearted in the West.
It's not just the Chinese who are coming. The Indians and the Brazilians are coming too, with economic growth rates far higher than in the old industrialized countries, but it doesn't even stop there. There's also Mexico, Turkey, Indonesia, and half a dozen other big countries in what used to be called the Third World that have discovered the secret of high-speed growth. The power shift is happening even faster than the pundits predicted.
As recently as 2009, the "Brics" (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) accounted for less than one-tenth of total global consumption. The European Union consumed twice as much, and so did the United States. But by 2020, the Brics will be producing and consuming just as much as either of the older economic zones, and by 2025 considerably more than either of them.
In fact, if you include not just the four Brics but all the other fast-growing economies of the ex-Third World, in just a dozen years' time they will account for around 40 percent of world consumption. As a rule, with wealth comes power, so they will increasingly be calling the tune that the West must dance to. Or at least that is the Doomsday scenario that haunts the strategists and economists of the West. It's nonsense, for at least three reasons.
First of all, a shift in the world's centre of economic gravity does not necessarily spell doom for those whose relative influence has dwindled. The last time the centre shifted, when the United States overtook the nations of Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it did not dent Europe's prosperity at all.
It's true that by the latter half of the 20th century there were American troops all over Western Europe, but that would not have happened if Europe had not come close to destroying itself in the two world wars (which can be seen as a European civil war in two parts). In any case, the U.S. troops have mostly gone home now, and Europeans live at least as well as Americans.
Secondly, the new centre of gravity this time, while mostly located in Asia, is not a single country with a coherent foreign policy like the United States. The four Brics will never become a strategic or economic bloc. They are more likely to split into rival blocs, although one hopes not. And the Mexicos and Turkeys and Indonesias of this new world will have their own fish to fry.
So it will be a more complicated world with many major players, and the centre of economic gravity will be in Asia, but there's nothing particularly strange about this. More than half of the human race lives in Asia, so where else should the centre of gravity be? Asia is very far from monolithic, and there is no logical reason to suppose that its economic rise spells economic decline for the West.
Thirdly, descriptions of the future that are simply extrapolations of the present, like the ones at the start of this article, are almost always wrong. If the widely believed forecasts of the 1980s had been right, Japan would now bestride the world like an economic Colossus. The one certain thing about the future is surprises—but some surprises are a little less surprising than others.
Take climate change, for example. The scientific evidence strongly suggests that the tropical and subtropical parts of the world, home to almost all of the emerging economic powers, will be much harder hit by global warming than the temperate parts of the globe, farther away from the equator, where the older industrialized countries all live.
There is already much anger about this in the new economic powers. Eighty percent of the greenhouse gases of human origin in the atmosphere were put there by the old-rich countries, who got rich by burning fossil fuels for the past two centuries, and yet they get off lightly while the (relatively) innocent suffer. But even if the newly rich wanted revenge, they are too disunited—and will be too busy coping with the warming—to do much about it.
The centre of gravity of the world economy is undoubtedly leaving the old "Atlantic" world of Europe and North America and moving towards Asia, but how far and how fast this process goes remains to be seen. And there is no reason to believe that it will leave the countries of the West poor or helpless.
True, economists in the West often ask the question: "What will we sell the emerging countries in the future that they cannot produce for themselves?" In the runaway global-warming scenario, the answer would be "food", but the real answer is sure to be more complex than that. Never mind. They'll think of something, because they'll have to.
The Bric countries are now paying 6 cents a kwh to import coal while building new nuclear as fast as possible at 3 cents a kwh today and dropping to 1 cent a kwh in the new future. Nuclear is too politically incorrect and Big Oil subsidized gas too cheap to be considered in the West.
China can build a 30 story apartment building in two weeks at a tiny fraction of the cost of our buildings that years to build. They are covering their country with thousands on thousands of miles of high speed rail eventually capable of supersonic speeds while can't even fund transit.
It's hard to see a future for the West in our society owned by Big Oil and Wall Street and run by corrupt attorneys, when competing with the Chinese leadership run by pragmatic engineers.
It was American companies who chose to move their business ventures to those countries due to cheaper labour and other reasons.
Doing this gave those countries a great boost,. as other countries followed the USA's lead, and in turn caused an upword push to those economies.
Then when the USA ran up large deficits due to wars, and looked for money to help them pay for them, those countries supplied the capital needed.
Factor in the "Greed" factor of Wall Street, and the large economic blow it administered to G8 countries, it is our own fault.
Now the US, Canada, and European counties are in free fall, no matter what those governments try to do to bring them back to the position of glory they once held.
It is too bad that our children will have to suffer because of the stance we have taken.
I find it astounding that people still make public fools of themselves on basic facts in the age of Google, but - quod erat demonstratum.
China is selling lots of wind and solar to suckers in the west. It has almost none grid (2% wind, 0% solar) connected nor are they likely to with wind costing many times hydro and nuclear. These are the facts if you can get somebody who can use the internet.
Here's the real cost of solar from the innernet so you can start your learning process.
A 17 MW peak solar install in service Jan 2011 by expert engineers at Duke Energy using real solar panels made in the USA not the Walmart quality Chinese junk with the same service life as everything else you buy at Walmart.
$43 a watt average, 65 cents a kwh at Dukes discount rate. To that we need to add 17 cents a kwh for gas backup and 8 cents for 5 times sized renewable transmission. 90 cents a kwh
They may be able to build a 30 story building in weeks, but there are huge issues with corruption (lead in toys, melamine in milk, plastic etc in pet food)., heavy air pollution (due to most people using coal to heat their homes), and massive building bubble - google China's ghost cities and you will get an idea of a huge building boom condo towers and shopping centres that are mostly empty. Combine this with the effect of the one-child policy and an aging population means they are heading for trouble.
One) China still has to deal with freedoms for their people.
Chinese citizens seem okay with having far less rights and freedoms then the West enjoys so long as their country is booming.
But what happens when the growth stops. Will they still accept les freedoms?
I highly doubt it.
So, does the Chinese Communist leadership (with all heir trappings of power) volunteer to give them up to appease the people? Or will they clamp down brutally once the masses go to far with their demands.
Probably somewhere in the middle I would guess.
But either way, it may not be pretty - so China still has a ways to go.
And btw - China is building entire cities that no one occupies. They just keep buildingh and building - probably desperate to keep the economy rolling for fear of what happens once it stops.
And 2) The West (and Japan) have become completely addicted to debt. And both the private AND the public sector are hip deep in it.
Right now, they are successfully skewing the inflation numbers well enough so that the central banks can still keep interest rates at record lows.
But eventually, all that money printing will start to show up - no matter how much governments try to play tricks with the CPI tabulation.
And when that happens, the bleep will really hit the fan.
Interest rates will rise (or the private sector will just ignore them and dump their dollars/yen/pounds/so on). The bond bubble will probably pop. Currencies will collapse in value. People will losde their houses as they can no longer afford the heightened payments from higher interest rates. Unemployment will follow. And this time, the governments will not be able to just print their way out of trouble - they will have shot all their bullets.
Now, I have no idea when this will happen. But it will happen and when it does, countries like America may want to distract it's people from their troubles by picking fights with other countries/organizations (nothing like starting a war to distract people from realizing how lousy their politicians are).
Their definitely could be a war.
And what better country for America to pick on then China? Maybe not in a direct, major war. But a long, slow, costly cold war.
And maybe China's leaders will be all for that to try and keep their people distracted from all the new freedoms they are demanding.
Imo, dark clouds are coming.
Fffft...3rd blizzard hitting Toronto tonight this month.
The Chinese might have a bunch of chits we owe themn..but..if we really didnt feel like paying them off..what are they gonna do about it? Most of that country is desert. Gonna hafta learn to eat sand I guess.
With respect, the fact that there are still people who believe that global warming means the end of snow and cold temperatures is the amazing thing.
Increased precipitation in some areas could mean more snow than ever.
Still confused about the difference between climate and weather?
undoubtedly water, food and energy will have an impact.
which country most vulnarable, which imports most?
when that happens we will get a better understanding of what climate change/climate weirding will do to the world...
