Teen Art Gallery Exhibition: T.A.G In Black and White - HiArt!
Through June 08, 2013 - Chelsea
Teen Art Gallery is a unique gallery created entirely by teenagers who curate it and run it. On May 12, the group will open a show called T.A.G. in Black and White at HiArt!
HiArt! is an innovative art program for children and the show will benefit their Time In Children's Arts Initiative, an interdisciplinary arts immersion program that brings under-served children from Harlem and the South Bronx into the world of the living arts as part of their regular school day. As part of its collaboration with HiArt, the T.A.G. team and some of the exhibiting artists will be working with the children in the program.
The show consists of artwork that is rendered in black and white and includes work by: Lisbeth Checo, Mindy Zou, Morris Reeves, Mary Walker Rippe, Kevin Nguyen, Maya Moverman, Phoebe Kaufman, Clara Lu, Teri Minogue, Jasmine Clarke, Sungwon Hong, Alika Feldman, Arielle Trenk, and Robin Krupnick.
T.A.G. was started two years ago by an idealistic sixteen-year-old public high school sophomore who wanted to give young artists from all across the country a chance to exhibit their work. Since then they have had 4 exhibits showing the work of hundreds of teenage artist from the ages of 12-19 and attracting media coverage from The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Artlog, Exhibition A, Paper Magazine and Galo magazine.
T.A.G. artists come, not only from all five boroughs, but also from across the United States. T.A.G gives them a unique opportunity to be part of the art world, to feel empowered early in their career in what can be a very intimidating art world, and to know that they can find an audience for their creative work. That early experience of validation can be life changing to a young artist. Last year T.A.G. had shows at BravinLee programs in Chelsea and Salon 94 Freemans on the Lower East Side. Their website, which is regularly updated with young artists work, is teenartgallery.org.

Face to Face - Children's Museum of the Arts
Through June 09, 2013 - SoHo
For twenty-five years, The Children's Museum of the Arts has provided children of all backgrounds the creative tools needed to promote self-expression and esteem through visual and performing arts. In celebration of its 25th anniversary, CMA is proud to present Face to Face, an exhibit that offers a fascinating exploration of self-identity through still, moving, and living portraits, as portrayed by children using traditional methods of painting and drawing as well as technology.
The main exhibit will consist of 40 portraits selected from CMA's Permanent Collection of children's art from over 50 countries, dating back to the 1930's. These pieces represent
a range of historical moments, cultures and medium and will be hung salon style throughout the gallery.
To incorporate CMA's philosophy of hands-on art-making, the exhibit will be accompanied by a variety of interactive installations that examine the texture, shape and sound of portraits. CMA will set up hands-on stations that will encourage visitors to become part of the exhibit, including reimagined versions of a typical self-portrait station. The CMA Media Lab will also create a photo booth in which visitors can take photos that will be projected on the wall. These photos will stream into a montage that will be accessioned into the collection and will also serve as a fascinating time-lapse of the exhibit as a whole.
Face to Face also offers aspiring young artists the opportunity to submit their own works for a chance to become part of the museum's Permanent Collection. CMA will accept 25 original original works, in honor of 25 years of operation, to be selected by the museum's curatorial team. One selected piece will be chosen by an online viewer's choice campaign, hosted through CMA's website and social media platforms.
To explore dimension, the exhibition will include a large-scale Pin Impression Board, offering several panels for visitors to experiment with and view their face as artwork.
CMA will also present their first ever Artist-At-Work station in the Fine Arts Studio. Here, guest artists will volunteer their time and allow visitors to observe them in action as they create original portraits.

In total, eight artists were chosen to receive the prestigious award and accompanying monetary prize.

The Sing for Hope Pianos - throughout the five boroughs at outdoor locations from street-sides to parks
Through June 16, 2013 - The five boroughs
Sing for Hope Pianos works with artists with visions as diverse as their backgrounds to paint pianos and then places them outdoors throughout NYC's five boroughs as part of a public art installation to be enjoyed and played by all. After June 16, the pianos will live on at schools and organizations throughout the city where they can continue to be played and enjoyed.
Artists who designed and customized pianos in previous years include fashion designers Diane von Furstenberg and Issac Mizrahi, visual artists Julian Schnabel and Scott Taylor and more. The program was founded by Camille Zamora and Monica Yunus, internationally acclaimed sopranos who share a common belief in the power of arts volunteerism to transform underserved communities. Since its launch in 2010 the program has gained the praise and support of notable figures such as Mayor Michael Bloomberg and world-famous Alicia Keys.
Sing for Hope Pianos will be amplified by Chobani and while the pairing may seem unusual at first glance, they come together in a well-suited partnership as they align in the important mission to provide access to all, whether that access is rooted in the arts or in good food.

Exhibition: SANA MUSASAMA: My Journey - Clay Art Center
Through June 22, 2013 - Port Chester
Clay Art Center is proud to present "SANA MUSASAMA: My Journey," a solo exhibition that combines art, social justice advocacy, and community arts outreach with New York artist and global citizen, Sana Musasama. The exhibition, which features ceramic sculpture and installation inspired from Musasama's travels around the world, will be on exhibit May 18-June 22, 2013, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 18, from 6-8pm.
In conjunction, the artist will be an artist in residence at Clay Art Center for the duration of the exhibit, and Clay Art Center has initiated a string of community arts outreach events entitled, Inspire, Commit, Act... Admission to Clay Art Center is free.
In her twenties, when she began traveling, Sana Musasama realized that clay existed all over the world. After her education in the public school system in New York, she felt limited, locked in, and undereducated. Traveling became her way of relearning the world and its inhabitants. Her work is informed by history, women's studies, culture, and her journals of global citizenship. "My Journey," an exhibition of large scale sculpture and installation, will speak of those experiences, from the "Maple Tree" series about the abolitionist movement involved with indigenous Americans, African indentured servants, and Dutch colonialists, and "The Unspeakable" series, an inquiry into the nature of violence and healing in women's lives, to her current work, "The UnKnown/UnNamed" series, which focuses on honoring the lives of those lost to war and genocide. Sana has spent the past 5 years working and traveling in Cambodia. It is there that she found herself in the killing fields, walking on fragments of souls that once were.
Sana Musasama's work is grounded in the ceremonies of living. It guards their integrity and memory, and acts as a reliquary of historic events and her personal narratives. In her inquiry into the world, she sought to understand the human landscape. This transformed Sana and her approach to clay. There is no dichotomy between her life and her work, as her extensive traveling has made her relearn seeing. Her mission speaks of a global citizen who walks through the artwork heart first.
Inspire, Commit, Act?: Community Events with Sana Musasama. For the duration of the exhibition, Sana will be an Artist in Residence at Clay Art Center, acting as an advocate for her work in the exhibition and the social justice issues it invokes. While in residence, she will also be working on a new body of work. As part of her residency at CAC, Sana will have the opportunity to work with Latino and African-American youth of Westchester County, NY, especially young women, and will be a visual presence for them, inspiring them to commit and act on the belief that they too could be artists, should they want to be. She will be working with Port Chester's Carver Center's NIA group, a young women's leadership group, mostly made up of Latino and African American individuals, Port Chester High School students in CAC's "Around the World in Clay" community arts outreach program, and teen girls from Westhab shelter of Family Coachman Center, which is the largest homeless shelter in Westchester.
In addition, Sana will lead three public hands-on workshops in June in the gallery (alongside her artwork). For more details on these workshops, visit clayartcenter.org.
About her "Unknown/Unnamed" series, Sana states, "My newest ceramic work was born out of the devastation of the 9/11 attacks and the hundreds of workers and others whose identity was buried under the rubble, the faceless whispers out of concentration camps, the endless mass graves throughout the world. It stems from my global travels to Cambodia, Vietnam and Rwanda - into the homes and hearts of the people I've encountered; these pieces represent their silent voices, which remain unknown and unnamed."
"The earth carries the memories built on the backs of oppressed/unrepresented people and their buried bones throughout the world. At My Lai, Vietnam, I walk on the site of a massacre where the lives of hundreds of women and babies were taken in revenge. I touch the soil. At the Holocaust museum, I look at the hundreds of pairs of eye glasses, shoes, gold-capped teeth, and briefcases, and I wonder who they belonged to. In Rwanda, a young woman tells how she searched for her family at a mass burial site. I have worked in Cambodia with former sex slaves, wondering who enslaved them, and walked the killing fields, with their fragments of what once were human beings."
"Will it ever stop? These new works are meant to slow us down, make us look closely at our world, silence us for the moment. They are created in homage to the Unknown/Unnamed."
Additionally, work from Sana's "Unspeakable" series will be on view. About this challenging and poignant body of work, Sana shares this story: "Twenty-five years ago, while living in Mendeland, Sierra Leone, there was a group of young girls, ages 10-15, who would visit my hut every day. We began our rituals of sisterhood: they combed my hair, tried on my clothing, and applied my makeup. They taught me the formal greetings in Mende, how to sit like a Mende woman, eat with my tongue, and to never allow food to touch my lips. They showed me how to cook on three rocks and wash my clothes in the river, beating on washing stones. They taught me the birth chants, and I learned, too soon, to recognize the death song."
"Suddenly, one morning, there were no young girls in the village. They returned thirteen weeks later, changed. Our ritual of sisterhood was no more. They no longer had the sparkle of wonderment in their eyes; they weren't carefree young girls any longer. They didn't want to have anything to do with me. I could not understand. I know now that they were circumcised (incised)."
"MY JOURNEY" will also feature two large-scale sculptures from Sana's "Maple Tree" series. These sculptures were inspired by the Maple Tree abolitionist movement in the late 18th century in New York and Holland. Dutch colonists, Native Americans, and free indentured African servants joined together in protest against slave labor on sugar cane plantations in the West Indies. They took as their symbol the maple tree - a source of sugar without exploiting slave labor. At once trees and aspects of the human body, these sculptures explore links between trees and human sexuality, between trees and human agency.
Sana Musasama (b. 1957, NYC, lives in Queens, NY) received her BA from City College of New York, NY (1973), her MFA from Alfred (1988), and studied at Mende Pottery, Sierra Leone (1974-75). Feeling undereducated by her public school education, Musasama began traveling as a way to recover identity and cultural place. Clay was a geographic catalyst that brought her first to West Africa, venturing later to Japan, China, and South America. She has continued her quest, expanding her interests to tribal adornment practices in various indigenous cultures. She is challenged by the concerns surrounding the safety of women, specifically the rituals involving rites of passage, female chastity, and the "purification" of the female body. She teaches at Hunter College, NYC; the 92 Street Y, NYC; and through CASES, a program which offers an alternative to incarceration.
Clay Art Center is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit ceramic art organization offering exhibitions, clay classes for adults and children, studio spaces for clay artists and outreach programs in the community. It is located in the heart of Port Chester at 40 Beech Street, Port Chester, NY 10573.

Federico Uribe: Fantasy River - Hudson River Museum
Through September 22, 2013 - Yonkers
In a summertime extravaganza, the Hudson River Museum presents a dramatic new 3-dimensional landscape - inspired by the dreams of artist Federico Uribe, acclaimed for his fascinating transformations of everyday objects into art. Witness how he creates sculptures, which are not "sculpted," but instead, constructed and woven in ways, curious and unpredictable, intricate and compulsive. A conceptual artist originally from Columbia, Uribe makes individual works and whole-room installations entirely from objects we see around us - shoes, colored pencils, hangers. Red, blue, yellow, a panoply of colors envelopes in this three-gallery display. For the Hudson River Museum, Uribe creates his site-specific installation, "Fantasy River," inspired by the dramatic rolling banks of the Hudson and the world's other great rivers. Filled with blossoming flowers, flying birds, dazzling sunshine, and the flowing "water" of a winding river, this installation, created from new and old materials, provides a spectacular theatrical experience in the Museum's central atrium. Uribe's art is a unique hybrid that resists classification. Watch how he uses the language of pop art to transform the objects of daily life, while tipping his hat to the history and tradition of classical art. Uribe studied art at the University of Los Andes in Bogota, and in 1988 moved to New York to study with acclaimed conceptual artist Luis Camnitzer. As part of his global vision, Uribe's career includes years of work in Cuba, Mexico, Russia, England and Miami. On view through September 22, 2013.

Tours - Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate

Kykuit, which means "lookout" in Dutch, includes a six-story stone house, multiple terraced gardens, art galleries, outdoor classical and modern sculpture, and commanding Hudson River views. Its hilltop location overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades is 500 feet above sea level. Visitors to Kykuit learn the story of the Rockefellers, beginning with John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, whose business acumen made him the richest man in America in his day. He later became the country's first great philanthropist. By his death in 1937, he had given away more than half his fortune through various philanthropic programs. Visitors can choose from four tours: Classic, Grand, Timesaver, and Selected Highlights.

CHILDREN in foster and residential care are more likely to suffer behavioural problems and be picked on at school but compare favourably to the wider population in exercise and obesity, according to a report by the state's largest foster care agency.
An analysis by Anglicare Victoria has found that children in out-of-home care - those unable to live with their own families - had poorer mental health but were similar to their peers in terms of lifestyle health.
The report examined the personal records of 142 children in out-of-home care from birth to 17 years of age and compared their development against state and national statistics.
Report author Sarah Wise, head of policy research at Anglicare Victoria, said the biggest gap was in emotional health.
A widely used mental health questionnaire placed 75 per cent of children between five and 17 years of age in out-of-home care into ''borderline'' and ''of concern'' categories. Those of concern were deemed at risk of developing a significant behavioural problem.
Comparatively, only 13.3 per cent of Victorian children aged four to 12 years fell into these categories in a similar questionnaire.
''Three quarters of Anglicare's children were borderline or of concern … and while it is striking, it is predictable given the emotional upheaval coming into care and the issues that have happened preceding care,'' Dr Wise said.
The report card also found children up to 14 years of age in out-of-home care were more likely to suffer from a long-term health condition compared with children nationally - 57.9 per cent and 37 per cent respectively.
It also found that children in care were almost four times less likely to be overweight - 6 per cent compared with a Victorian average of 23.1 per cent. Children in care did about the same amount of physical activity as those not in care.
Those in care aged between 15 and 17 years were more likely to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol and use drugs. About 8.3 per cent of young people in care had used illicit drugs in the past year compared with 4.7 per cent of young people across the state.
In education, it found children in out-of-home care were less likely to attend kindergarten or be happy at school. They were also less likely to wag school. More than 30 per cent of children in care said they were picked on or bullied by other children, compared with 23.5 per cent statewide.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/1/2009 (3127 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dr. Phil Astin, 54, pleaded guilty to a 175-count federal indictment charging him with illegally distributing prescription drugs and conspiring to distribute prescription drugs.
Astin also admitted that prescriptions he issued resulted in the overdose death of a female patient in 2007, though lawyers did not specifically name any patient or link the physician to World Wrestling Entertainment's Chris Benoit.
More than 50 of the counts carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a US$1-million fine. The others carry a lesser sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, said Patrick Crosby, spokesman for U.S. Attorney David Nahmias. Astin's sentencing is scheduled for May 12.
In June, Astin pleaded not guilty to the charges. Thursday's change was part of a plea bargain negotiated by defence lawyer Natasha Perdew Silas, who acknowledged her own investigation's findings in the case matched those of federal prosecutors.
She told U.S. District Court Judge Jack T. Camp that Astin wasn't guilty of prescribing medicine in exchange for personal gain, but rather was a "country doctor" who treated many patients suffering from chronic pain.

Quickies: Mischa Barton Is Furious, Not Crazy & What's The Polygamy Experience?
- Mischa Barton is furious with tabloid writers for convincing people she's crazy. [Starpulse] — You can't get much crazier than blaming a meltdown and a mental facility stay on wisdom teeth removal surgery. I'm just sayin'.
- Suri Cruise is only three years old, but she seems to already be experimenting with makeup. While in Boston with her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Suri sported a smear of what looked like pink lipstick across her mouth yesterday. [Daily Mail] — It could have also been a smear of lollipop or Popsicle juice.
- Friends of Jessica Simpson fear she may be at her lowest point ever after she lost her dog to a coyote. [People] — Well, she is about due for a Hollywood meltdown.
- Wolf Blitzer seemed to channel Paris Hilton while competing on "Celebrity Jeopardy" instead of paying attention to context clues. [F-Listed] — His responses still aren't as bad as the time Eartha Kitt responded with "Swahili" in her best Catwoman drawl when the answer called for a continent.
- It's comforting to know that everyone's first kiss was their "first state of awkward, terrified uncertainty." [College Humor] — Mine was gross and wet, and to make matters worse, the boy went and told all his friends I was a sloppy kisser.
- Yoga is mainstream now, but videos of its practitioners can be really embarrassing, funny, and weird. [Uncoached] — Thankfully, smell-o-vision isn't available because embarrassing yoga farts are lethal.
- Former fundamentalist Mormons in Arizona have started giving tours of a polygamous colony, called "The Polygamy Experience: A Guided Tour of Colorado City." [TrèsSugar] — HBO can't have all the polygamy profits.

A RIBCHESTER runner is set to race more than 360 miles to Belgium to raise money for charity.
Endurance athlete Dave Moretta, a former Queen's Lancashire and Duke of Lancaster's Regiments soldier, aims to run to the Menin Gate memorial, in Ypres, to mark the centenary of the First World War.
The 27-year-old is hoping to raise £20,000 for A Soldier's Journey, which was set up by his friend and former colleague Sgt Rick Clement, who lost both his legs in a bomb blast while on patrol in Afghanistan.
Last year, Dave ran 18 marathons in 18 days, spurred on by the memories of the 18 Lancashire soldiers who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The father-of-two has already broken one world record and is hoping to break another 34 by the time he is 35.
Dave said: "I wanted to do something for the centenary of the First World War and to raise my profile as a professional endurance runner. I also wanted to help Rick's charity.
"I will be running, on average, 73 miles for five days, but one day, I will keep running for a full 24 hours. It is just me doing it, but I will have got a safety team full of doctors and physios following me.
"I am looking forward to it and I will always have the sacrifice the soldiers gave to keep me going.
"It is not about me, it is about what I am doing it for.
"There are people who will be in a far worse situation than I will be in."
The town of Ypres was the site of four battles during the 1914 to 1918 war. The town was almost constantly under bombardment, and was reduced to ruins.
The Menin Gate memorial is in the eastern part of the town and traffic is stopped there at 8pm every night while members of the local Fire Brigade sound the Last Post in the roadway under the arches.
Dave, who is set to leave his job at a cardboard box factory to take up running full time, will leave from the Cotswold shop in Preston at 9am on Monday.

The New Hampshire Institute of Politics & Political Library was founded on the premise that an educated citizenry is vital for a healthy democracy. Since its doors opened in 2001, the Institute has provided a nonpartisan forum for discussion and debate on all aspects of the American political process. Its mission is to educate, engage and empower citizens to participate in the civic and political life of their local, national and global communities.
The Institute offers unparalleled opportunities to be in the front row of a democratic process that impacts the world. Tune in to any political news or talk show or pick up the day's Wall Street Journal or New York Times, and you encounter individuals who have appeared at the Institute. State representatives, U.S. senators, primary candidates, and campaigners are regular visitors, especially during an election cycle. Here, citizens hear major policy speeches, high level candidate endorsements, and interviews with global leaders. They hear experts on issues such as the environment, health care, civil rights, the economy, international affairs-all critical to decisions that have an impact on our lives. Nowhere else in northern New England are there so many opportunities to meet today's most prominent thinkers.
Located on the campus of Saint Anselm College, the Institute is housed in a 20,000-square-foot facility that contains an auditorium, television studio, research center, classrooms, seminar rooms, academic offices, a computer lab, and the Common Ground Café. The facility is regularly used by community organizations such as the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, AARP New Hampshire, American Legion, political groups, and high schools. In 2010, the New Hampshire Political Library relocated to the Institute, merging two of New Hampshire's great political organizations. A number of the Political Library's board members joined the Institute's board. They continue to carry on the mission and traditions of the library that was founded by Gov. Hugh Gregg and Secretary of State William Gardner to provide programming and exhibits associated with New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary.
The work of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics & Political Library is made possible in part by an award from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Department of Commerce. We thank NIST for its generous support.

Pc Katie Johnson, 29, was shot in the leg by a suspected robber fleeing from a raid at the Hospital Inn in Bamber Bridge early on Monday morning.
A man in his 40s was arrested on Monday and a 37-year-old was arrested hours later after he was found on a railway line near the scene.
Both men are also being questioned on suspicion of armed robbery.
Police said they were both from the Manchester area and were being questioned at a Leyland police station.
Four people were thought to be in the pub when two men wearing balaclavas burst in at about 0815 GMT.
The pub's chef sustained serious head injuries in the attack and was taken to Chorley Hospital for treatment.
Det Supt Neil Hunter refused to comment on suggestions that one member of staff at the pub had a gun put in his mouth.
Pc Johnson, a dog handler for Lancashire Constabulary based in Ormskirk, was one of several officers responding to a 999 call at the pub.
She was treated in hospital for 12 shot wounds to the top of her left leg but was later released.
Police said the offenders also threatened to shoot a second officer, Pc Ian Tinsley, if he made any further steps towards them as they tried to escape from the pub.
Officers have seized two cars they believe are connected with the robbery, a red Vauxhall Vectra, registration N396 RHO, and a silver or white Peugeot 406, registration V778 HOL.
Anyone with information about the cars, or who may have witnessed the robbery, is being asked to contact police or Crimestoppers.

Why Do Web Startups Die? Lack of Alphalpha : Comments
June 10, 2008
Well put Dave. As someone who has gone through this phase of setting up a business I can say that these are things we had to learn the hard way in some cases. I would recommend everyone who has a new or even relatively new company sit down an answer all six questions. Well done!
Funniest web dev-related article I've read in ages! (But with some very good points. ;)
Very good advice here. I'm involved in a startup now, and thankfully all these questions made common sense. We were founded with the answers to these questions baked in more or less.
But I do disagree about the tone of "making difficult decisions and sticking to them". While I agree that the vision should be focused and strictly adhered to to create a cohesive product, I also think it's just as important to be nimble and change directions with the product as soon as you realize where your premises were faulty.
Consider Flickr which started as a flash-based MMORPG. They saw that the photo sharing ability was the killer feature and completely changed their direction. Getting a vision right the first time is very very difficult. The advantage a startup has is agility to learn from mistakes and turn ship very quickly.
Great article and great questions. Another example of uncommon common sense. Some people THINK they've answered these questions but when actually confronted with them, it's met with confusion. But with these basic questions answered, a startup can really hit the ground running.
Good points. It was a fun exercise asking these questions of our business. Fortunately, we answered most of these when we started. But it was good to remind ourselves to stick with them.

Rudyard Kipling, one of the most popular writers in the English tongue of his generation, addressed his poem "The White Man's Burden" to the American people in 1899 — when the United States was emerging as an imperialist power in Asia, having made the Philippines its colony in the western Pacific. Of the poem Theodore Roosevelt said it "is rather poor poetry, but good sense from the expansionist standpoint," the standpoint of the "powers" that divided the world among them.
Sukehiro Hirakawa recounts this episode not just for its own sake, interesting though it is, but to remind his readers that "the white man's burden" soon found "the yellow man's burden" as its counterpart. This concept was advanced by Soho Tokutomi, Kipling's contemporary, who was a prolific writer and became the most influential apologist of Japan's imperialism.
In his nationalistic writings Tokutomi challenged white supremacy and urged his countrymen to come to the aid of the oppressed peoples of the same "yellow" race of Asia.
Racism is one of the themes of the intellectual history of Japan Hirakawa presents in this impressive book. His comprehensive knowledge of Western as well as Japanese (and Chinese) history and literature protects him from even the temptation of one-sidedness. At the same time, he does not shy away from sensitive and unpopular topics. Tokutomi, for instance, is virtually unknown in the West and not much read nowadays in Japan because, as a prominent rightwinger, he was incarcerated under the U.S. Occupation.
Kipling, the great apologist of British imperialism, by contrast, is still held in high esteem as the author of "The Jungle Book."
And this is hardly exceptional. Rather, there is a pattern of skewed perception, biased representation and double standards that characterized the relationship between Japan and the West from the very beginning. With the title of his book, Hirakawa describes this intricate relationship as one of love-hate and, with his elegant pen, shows just how exciting and never boring this relationship is, forever swaying between admiration and contempt.
Japan's modernization is full of biographies of Japanese intellectuals who embraced Western ways enthusiastically but at one point or another met with disappointment and disillusionment, realizing that "civilization," as promoted by the Western powers, half-swallowed eagerly, half-forced down their throat, was a code word for "power."
Soseki Natsume, for example, a writer and lecturer in English literature, came to the conclusion that instruction at regular schools in English, a common practice in late 19th century Japan, was "only one aspect of an excessive subordination for foreign culture." As Hirakawa demonstrates with a wealth of quotations, many intellectuals realized the necessity of this subordination in view of the advanced state of Western technology and science; but they also resented it, especially because they were so often made to feel their own inferiority amid Western arrogance and racism.
For 200 years, Japanese interaction with the West was channeled through the Dutch trading factory in Nagasaki, and as such completely under their own control. But then the Japanese were deprived of this prerogative all of a sudden. That they were forced at gunpoint to submit to another nation's will had a profound and lasting impact, because they (and the rest of the world) were not yet used to American threats of violence.
By means of comparing Japanese, European and American intellectuals' views on Japan's development from being threatened into submission to threatening others, Hirakawa recounts the story of Japan's modernization and Westernization during the stormy Meiji Era in a highly original and enlightening way.
The leading intellectuals of Japan's modernization, when they traveled to the Western world, went by sea, starting from Yokohama or Kobe and proceeding to London or Marseilles. Every single port their ships called on en route, from Hong Kong to Port Said, was under Western, mainly British, rule. No one who took this route could fail to notice "the vast and ruthless expansion of the Western colonial powers." This shared physical experience of Western dominance was an eye-opener to author and political theorist Yukichi Fukuzawa; Hirobumi Ito, Japan's first prime minister; novelist and poet Ogai Mori; philosopher and historian Tetsuro Watsuji; and writer Soseki, among others.
Directing his readers' attention to such detail is typical of Hirakawa's method. In making times past come alive, he makes readers see why Pan-Asianism as a reaction to Japan's rapid modernization gained strength, increasingly so after Japan's defeat of Russia in 1904-05, and why Tokutomi's argument of "Asia for the Asians" did not sound hollow to Japanese ears.
Japan's love-hate relationship with the West has many faces. One is that, good students of Western civilization that they were, Japanese politicians followed the British model, building an empire and maintaining colonies, while Japanese journalists began to denounce British imperialism. Hirakawa speaks of Japan's "anti-imperialist imperialism" in this connection — an apt description. One of many that make this book well worth reading.

Morris County Acting Prosecutor Frederic Knapp confirmed Tuesday that a Fairleigh Dickinson adjunct professor and his wife, a Fairleigh administrator died as a result of murder-suicide at their Parsippany home on Monday.
According to Knapp, Rosaria Andraka, 43 years old, died of gunshot wounds inflicted upon her by her husband, retired Caldwell police detective Chester Andraka. Mr. Andraka then turned the gun on himself.
The findings were made following an investigation and autopsies conducted by the Morris County Medical Examiner.
The Andrakas were discovered in their Medford Road home by Parsippany Police at 10:01 a.m. Police went to the house after receiving a telephone call regarding Mr. Andraka, who had failed to report for work that morning, according to a statement issued by Acting Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp.
Upon proceeding to the Andraka home at 2 Medford Rd., police discovered the home was locked. After observing a body on the couch through a window, the police had to forcibly enter the home. Once inside the home, police discovered the bodies in the family room, both sustaining gunshot wounds.
According to their LinkedIn accounts, Mrs. Andraka was Fairleigh Dickinson's honors program administrator and an adviser. Mr. Andraka was an adjunct professor at Fairleigh Dickinson. The university is on the College at Florham campus that straddles Florham Park and Madison, and in Teaneck.
A statement issued by Fairleigh Dickinson University in Florham Park on Monday said the university "is shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death" of the Andrakas, and said that it was "cooperating with local authorities" in their investigation of the deaths.
Mr. Andraka was also employed full time by Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp. in East Hanover as a security director. He had been a full-time employee since November; prior to that, he was a consultant for two years.

Christian Grubb
b.Abt 1705 Germany
d.Mar 1769 Frederick County, Virginia USA
Family tree▼
m. Abt 1722
Facts and Events
Christian Grubb was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia
Records in Augusta County, VA
From Chalkley's Augusta County Records:
September 11, 1738, the "Robert and Alice" from Rotterdam arrived at Philadelphia, PA carrying Christian Grub, his wife and family. All the male passengers signed the ship's log..Christian signed in his native language, German. All the male passengers were required to take an Oath of Allegiance to the King of England. Again, Christian signed in German.
The Grubs first went to Pennsylvania and later to Virginia. They settled in Augusta County which was later divided into 6-8 counties. Christian's Will dated 04 APR 1769 is on record at Winchester in Frederick County, VA. All eight children are named with his wife Catherine. The son, Abraham, was named executor. He received 2/3 of the land and Catherine received 1/3. At Catherine's death, her third was to go to Abraham. Because Abraham sold her third in 1778, we can assume her date of death. The first record of Christian being in Frederick Co., VA was in 1762 when he purchased a block of land. Record on file at Frederick Co., VA.
JULY 1997: Excerpts from the records of the Peaked Mountain Church dispute some of the above information taken mainly from the works George Wanger, Grubb family historian from Pennsylvania, who in1913 completed a chart of Christian Grubb and descendents. The errors in Wanger's report were perpetuated by Georgia Jane Grubb Creel in her book "My Name's Grubb" and by Olive Grubb Devore, DAR researcher. According to the records found in the Rockingham County VA Archives, all eight children did not come over on the "Robert and Alice". The baptism records of the church in 1762 state that Jacob was 26, Daniel was 24 and Margaret was 18.
Wanger had listed Jacob born in 1722, Daniel in 1723 and Margaret in 1731. The baptism records would indicate 1736, 1738 and 1744 respectively. This new information also casts doubts about the birthdates of the other children as reported by Georgia Jane Grubb Creel in her book, "My Name's Grubb". It would seem pretty certain that Abraham was either the youngest or the oldest because he was chosen executor of his father's will and inherited the bulk of the estate plus controlling his mother's share. If his 1732 birth year stands, it would mean that sons Frank and John birthdates would need be later than the 1732 year.
If all the other chidren's birthdates follow the pattern of being from 13 to 15 years in error, it would make more believeable some of the other known data of the family, i.e., Martin and Barbara Grubb Finder having a daughter born in 1776.
Some changes have been found in the data concerning the Christian Grubb family. The name Grubb is derived from the German name KROPF/KROPH/KROOP/CROOP/CROPP. These changes are shown in the records of the Peaked Mountain Lutheran Church which was originally in Augusta County, VA but in Rockingham County after it was created in 1778. You will probably like to go to the GenWeb site on the net and from there to Rockingham County.
When there, click on the Archives section and you will find some history of the Peaked Mountain Church. It is not clear if Christian Grubb was a member, but at least three of his children, Jacob, Daniel and Margaret are on the baptismal record. Their ages when baptized also change the birth records of the family, plus make it clear that all the children were not born in Germany and did not come over on the boat with Christian in 1738.
The marriages of Jacob and Margaret are also listed on the Church records. Perhaps more family records can be found in Rockingham County.
Records of the Peaked Mountain Church Rockingham County, VA A (AD) 1762. At the "Pinquit" (Peaked) Mountain and the South "Chanithor" (Shenandoah), in Virginia, the following children were baptized on Saturday, February 27th [note 2]:

Peter Mueller, son of Henry Mueller, and Margaret Kropp, daughter of Christian Kropp. AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE REFORMED AND LUTHERAN CONGRATIONS WORSHIPPING IN THE PEAKED MOUNTAIN CHURCH, ROCKINGHAM CO., VA., OCTOBER 31, 1769 In the name of the Triune God and with the consent of the whole congregation, we have commenced to build a new house of God, and it is, by the help of Gold, so far finished that the whole world may see it. We have established it as a union church, in the use of which the Lutherans and their descendants as well as the Reformed and their descendants shall have equal share. But since it is necessary to keep in repair the church and the schoolhouse and support the minister and the schoolmaster, therefore we have drawn up this writing that each member sign his name to the same and thereby certify that he will support the minister and schoolmaster and help to keep in repair the church and the school as far as lies in his ability. Should, however, one or another withdraw himself from such Christian work (which we would not suppose a Christian would do) we have unitedly concluded that such a one shall not be looked upon as a member of our congreation, but he shall pay for the baptism of a child 2 s. 6 d., which shall go into the treasury of the church; for the confirmation of a child 5 s., which shall be paid to the minister as his fee; and further should such a one come to the table of the Lord and partake of the Holy Communion, he hsall pay 5 s., which shall go into the treasury of the church; and finally if such a one desires burial in our graveyard he shall pay 5 s., which shall also be paid into the treasury of the church. In confirmation of which we have drawn up this document, and signed it with our several signatures. Done in Augusta county, at the Peaked Mountain and the Stony Creek, on October 31st, Anno Domini 1769.

In the Hindu culture or tradition the mangalsutra holds an important place, especially with the wedded women of that religion. Hindu women hold the mangalsutra, to be a very significant bond with their husband, similar to the wedding rings in western culture. Most of the married Hindu women wear the mangalsutra as long as they are not widowed, as a sign of their married life.
The mangalsutra is simply not another jewelry item and has a lot of significance in Hindu marriage, and more importantly reflects the goodwill and love of the marriage. Traditionally, mangalsutra would have been an ornament hanging from chain of black-beads, or yellow threads and is considered to be the most important ornament, depicting the marital status of a woman, along with the vermilion. On the wedding day it is customary for the groom to tie the mangalsutra, on the bride's neck, symbolizing their union as a married couple.
Although the original name remains mangalsutra, derived from the words "mangal" and "sutra", it is known by many other names in the various states of the country; in Telegu it is called thaaly and maangalyam in Tamil. The real meaning of the word mangalsutra is auspicious thread, and the word itself seems to have generated in South India, and then passed on to the North in subsequent times. On various occasions it has been seen that women do not wear a mangalsutra, but this definitely does not mean that she is a widow or unmarried.
With the evolving cultural trends, women have also become westernized and may not wear a mangalsutra all the time, as a token of their marriage. Many women consider it to be an important jewelry that could be stylized anytime they feel like, during the day or according to their wish. For this reason the designers take great care in designing a mangalsutra for any occasion; they may be highly crafty or a simple thing to wear around the neck. Although earlier only the groom's side made the choice, nowadays the bride may also have a say about the style of mangalsutra, she would wear.
Life in India is all about ceremonies and rituals. Right from the time one is born to the time one dies, a person sees a lot of rituals in his life. Comparing the India now with the India that was just about 100 years ago, let alone ancient times, one would hardly find any similarities, apart from the poverty of course. A lot of rituals have been forgotten or just simply ignored due to the lack of time; but having said that, there are still a few things that Hindus follow very religiously. One of them is wearing the Mangalsutra by any married Indian woman.
The Mangalsutra is a simple thread dipped in turmeric or saffron that the groom ties around the neck of the bride when they get married with exactly three knots. Each of the three knots has a separate meaning. The third knot is tied by the sister-in-law. Tying the Mangalsutra in front of the fire binds the bride and the groom in a holy matrimony.
As times progress, so does everything. These days, the Mangalsutra can be found in black beads with a gold pendant each having a different name in different parts of the country. Also the basic form of the Mangalsutra has different shapes in different states. Some even like to wear one completely made of gold as was the tradition in the ancient times. That's what the gold smiths bank on during the marriage season, as if not anything, the bride would at least buy the Mangalsutra. And with all the designer stuffs coming all over the world, why should the little Mangalsutra be left alone. Search the internet and you would find a whole array of beautiful designer Mangalsutras, all to cater to, what they call Generation Next. The newly found economic boom in India allows today's young bride-to-be to experiment with these age old traditions.
A new bride in those days would proudly flaunt her Mangalsutra in front of the world, but these days, it seems like just an article of decoration around the neck of a woman. The concept of a woman wearing a Mangalsutra is to show the world that she's married.

THEY may not have actually gone under the hammer but auctioning off parts of an underwater-themed balloon display paid off for a Basingstoke hospice.
Shoppers in The Malls shopping centre, in Basingstoke, admired the underwater balloon creations, constructed by modelling company, Larger Than Life with 100 balloons.
The display, which took four people around four-and-a-half hours to construct, included a coral reef background, a 5ft mermaid, crabs, lobsters and fishes made from different coloured balloons.
The display was subsequently dismantled and sections of the creation were sold to people in an auction to raise money for St Michael's Hospice, in Aldermaston Road.
John Caudrey, owner of Larger Than Life, told The Gazette: "It went very well and I am sure we will do it again. The 5ft mermaid went for £20 so we were really pleased with that."
Chris Griffiths, marketing and events manager at St Michael's Hospice, said: "We are incredibly thankful for the fantastic fundraising effort The Malls and John Caudrey at Larger Than Life have undertaken.
"The money will go directly to help local people. We rely on the community to meet our fundraising target, which this year stands at £2.4million."
