A Student's Perspective - Robotics
More than 300 high school and college interns worked at JPL this summer in areas such as robotic hardware systems, and nano and micro systems.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Summer Student Internships
My name is Gisselle Cunningham; I am from Polytechnic Institute in New York University. It's located in Brooklyn, New York.
I am part of the MEI group, which stands for minority education and initiative program.
I work in the section 347, the robotics mobility program and the lab that I do work in is the CLARaty software development lab.
I'm currently interning with my mentor, Richard Petris and Dr. Tara Estlin.
What they wanted was to be able to plot rover trajectories like in a visual presentation format. And the best way they thought would be is to go through Google Earth.
Why is this important? You can use this program to make your analysis of anything that has coordinate-sensitive information.
For instance, you can determine where the rover went.
Was its trajectory predictable? Was it precise?
Obviously, it's good for visual representation.
If you want to use this in meetings that you're having to see how your progress is going or to show the public what you've accomplished so far.
At school, I'm into robotics, I'm studying computer engineering,which is half computer science engineering and half electrical engineering.
So if you take the two of them together, the programming with the hardware and software, in a way, you kind of get a robot.
I want to work with prosthetics, robotic prosthetics, with people who are missing limbs and things like that. Even get more in depth with nanotechnology and medicine delivery.
Having JPL on my resume I think for me is a huge, huge deal.
It's a great, very great environment.
You have all your resources here available to you.
The people, they're very friendly. They want to help you if you need help with anything. It's a place where your ideas are welcome.

Gilmat Door Design, 2017-11-03 14:10:11.A good quality folding door should be able to last a lifetime. Therefore, always think carefully about the folding door systems you are looking to specify. Today, we will briefly show you some important features you should consider and expect from any folding door systems… aside from proper installation and the right choice of folding door hardware to install. Well, without further ado, here they are!Since folding door is much larger than ordinary, regular patio doors, folding option tends to be more susceptible to the effects of rain and wind. Therefore, always choose folding doors with weather resistance ability—for sheltered spaces, a 100pa water resistance will suffice. But if the doors aren't protected from the elements, 250pa water resistance is minimum. Besides, be careful when choosing the glass. Any larger expanse of glass will end up with increased heat loss. Therefore, opt for the best performing glass you can buy for the sake of lower heating bills.Another possible drawback from the larger size of folding door is the greater chance for noise pollution to occur. Keep the room comfortable and inviting by blocking as much as external noise as possible. Double glazed panels can make an effective choice, but remember you will also need to use the effective panel sealing. Choose triple sealing which incorporates the high-performing acoustic seals filled with foam for your option. Sealing aside, intermediate locking and inter-leaving panels are also important so the doors will not rattle even though they are exposed to a huge amount of wind pressure.Therefore, strength is always an important matter when you choose folding door. As the doors are required to stand up to all kinds of pressure, both when moving and when closed, the panel profiles that hold the glass in place must be strong. We recommend you to choose the thicker rail and stile profiles in depth, yet they can still narrow when they are viewed front on for the sake of aesthetics.It is always important for the folding doors to feature the sufficiently rigid panels to adequately support the adjacent one. Compared to PVC, the folding door with aluminum offers more strength, in addition to a square cut corner (instead of mitred) to improve the torsional stability to the panels, which later benefits you from overall ease of movement for the folding doors to operate smoothly and conveniently. And speaking of easy movement, it's always recommended to try the door before buying.
Gilmat Interior, 2017-11-03 14:13:04.In general, a bunk bed is always one of recommended options for a smaller bedroom that is short in square footage but required to accommodate at least two persons at once. With one larger bed or two twin beds may end up making the smaller bedroom cramped and smaller, a bunk or loft bed provides a much more space saving solution. A regular bunk bed is usually consisted of two beds stacked vertically. However, there is also triple bunk bed for more people to accommodate at once.When you are buying a triple bunk bed, it is still important to measure the space, though. Even though the bunk bed itself is a natural match for smaller bedrooms, the triple loft bunk bed can also provide many benefits for larger ones. When measuring the space for triple bunk bed plans, you need to measure the height of the ceilings too.It is not likely to have three beds stacked altogether, considering this design may end up resulting in a very tall bunk bed. Usually, two beds are underneath the upper one. Just be sure the bunk bed you are about to buy can fit perfectly in your room, leaving at least 2 feet of space between the triple bunk bed and the ceiling. It is important so you can prevent bumps from occurring.Choose which type of triple bunk bed you will need. In general, there are two categories available on the markets: Basic and lofted. Each of them, though, has many subcategories. Basic bunk beds, for example, may be available as twin over twin or twin over full. As for the lofted beds, they may come with lofted bed above a futon or a lofted bed placed over a study area. The triple sleeping surfaces can make a great choice if you have three children to share a room or simply to accommodate any friend of your kid who comes for sleepovers.You may also want to consider the features that are built in to the triple bunk bed. Storage units or study areas are common features that are attached to the bunk bed design, thus providing the even more practical option for your kid's bedroom. And last but not least, always be sure the bed is safe. The bunk bed must have all the safety features, such as headboards, footboards, and guardrails. And don't forget to explain to your child about the essentials in safety when using a bunk bed.

Farm Land
Little ones ages 3-5 years old joined me at the OKCMOA for a fun filled class about farms. We were taking a look at farms because of the current exhibition, 1934: A New Deal for Artists. We began the class by taking a look at a small slideshow I put together of real farm landscape photos. We looked at the layers of color and line.
We also talked about farms and why the land on farms is so important. We talked about crops and our favorite grown foods.
To create our beautiful farm landscapes we began by cutting a piece of paper into 4 pieces.
Now we use a paintbrush to paint the pieces yellow, green and brown.
The top section of our paper is the sky and we painted our sky blue with cotton balls and used those cotton balls to make white clouds in the sky.
We visited the gallery while our paint dries. We sat in front of farm paintings and I read the book, Mrs. McNosh and the Great Big Squash.
We return to the classroom and use our glue sticks to put our crops together on a piece of colored construction paper. I compared it to a puzzle, getting the pieces to match up. Now we finish our farm land by adding some details with more paint and q-tips. We add lines and dots and finish them up!
You will need:
-White paper
-Tempera paints/brushes
-Cotton balls
-Construction paper
-Glue stick

By now you probably have discovered that when it comes to genealogy, it is not *ALL* on the Internet. However, if you are reading this, then you probably are someone who knows that the Internet can be a useful tool for the family historian.
During the online portion of your research, be sure to recognize that everything useful online is not *ALL* on FamilySearch, nor on HeritageQuest Online, nor on Footnote. It's not even *ALL* on Ancestry.com … or the Allen County Public Library's website! Many societies, libraries and even courthouses, funeral homes and cemeteries have useful websites for the genealogist.
If you are very lucky, some of these websites that are pertinent to your own research will have digitized copies of original records or photographs of tombstones that you can view, download and print. Others may have databases or indexes that you can search. At the very least, you will find helpful information such as business hours for libraries and courthouses, and contact information so that you may write, call or email the library, courthouse, cemetery, funeral home or other entity. Some websites may include links to other helpful, related sites.
For example, check out the "databases" area of the Genealogy Department of the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library in north central Indiana. The site includes a number of databases created and maintained by department staff and links take the researcher to other databases and websites of interest. One of the links is to the Cemeteries of Howard County, Indiana website. This website includes databases of individuals buried in the various cemeteries in the area, often with pdf files of corresponding obituaries and jpegs of tombstone photos!
Funeral homes have begun to post obituaries on their websites. Many of these are limited to recent deaths, but they can be helpful for those researching current branches of their families. As an example, one of our local Fort Wayne funeral homes posts obituaries with color photographs of the deceased.

We might be a few months away from CES and Mobile World Congress, but that doesn't mean handset rumors are going to wait around. The preliminary details for a new Sony smartphone have surfaced, possibly laying the groundwork for a new "flagship" device.
According to information first noticed by Blog of Mobile (translated), Sony is prepping a C650X smartphone under the code name of Odin. As detected in its User-Agent Profile (UAProf), the phone looks to run Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and Sony's 10.1.A.0.XXX firmware.
To be clear, there is no other evidence to support the claim of "flagship" device. Considering we're talking about early 2013, the idea of anything older than 4.1 would be met with a collective grumbling by the Android masses. Yet, if Sony is able to build on the momentum of recent models (Xperia T), then the Odin could be mythical indeed.
A sign of bigger things to come
To me, the more interesting bit of news coming out of the Odin leak is that Sony may be eschewing the ST/MT/LT suffix that accompanies its smartphones. As Blog of Mobile advises, the new handset has been found with similar model numbers in C6502, C6503, and C6506.
Said to be the same device for various regions and carriers, it may be part of a new Sony strategy. Rather than an Xperia O, it's possible this will have a standalone name.
I don't know about you but I get confused fairly easy by all these phones that bear nearly identical names. Would it be too much to ask if we just a completely different name for every model? Here's to hoping for Grid, Vili, and Frigga in 2013.
iOS 13 comes with new Siri voice, dark mode, privacy features: All the new software Apple will soon deliver to your iPhone.

Search Pornocry
Damn "Porn Tube", what a name in behalf of a website. Sure took you a while to come up with that huh? Even though the name of this page sounds a little bit bland the content you can find on PornTube will not disappoint you. Delicious Full-Length, HD pornography and it's all free ! Beauty lies in simple things, so you don't need to come up with a big juicy name instead a website, Something nice and catchy like PornTube works just fine even even there is plenty of room representing improvement. A rather inviting homepage and a tasty design A problem ThePornDude has with plenty of porno websites is the fact that a lot of them don't care about coming up with a decent design. However PornTube.com took proper care of the looks of their page and it looks absolutely gorgeous. You might act stupid and be ham on me with the following sentence : "But you just said that you dislike the name of the website just because it is simple !, and to that, I can say only one thing shut the hell up! I know not many of you will say this, but the ones who decide to do so, well you're assholes, there's not much to say about you. The homepage is simple clean. It has all the sections you deprivation in order to derive your porn, such as the Most Viewed Today section and the baby sister of this section called Most Recent PornTube Videos. I also mind that the thumbnails will change their size according to the size of the window in which the porn is open which is a neat little touch. Furthermore, if you make the window small enough it will then hide all the names of the tabs and move them to the side. Now you will have to click on the little menu in the upper right corner next to the name of the website and the search bar in order to see them, which is pretty neat. It leaves more room appropriate the player to fill the screen so this makes a lot of sense. They tumble that people like to multitask, to have porn open in one window and an important essay they have to finish by tomorrow in the other. One hand on the mouse, one hand on your genitalia. We've all been there. Now that we've mentioned the names of header tabs, it's time to talk about the features... Features in ! Now this is something I really like about PornTube.com. I've already said that it looks amazing and I've made sure that you know just how inviting the looks of this website are, but here's the thing. Websites that go for a simple look hardly manage to put in enough features that every porno website needs to have nowadays. However PornTube manages to put in just enough features. A filter for the gay and after the straight content even a filter for shemale porn. An option to switch between light and night (this one isn't exactly necessary but it's still a nice touch ), even playlists that contain been created by other more experienced users who have been beating their meat at PornTube.com for a very very eat time. You'll notice that some of these playlists have thousands of videos in them, literally. There are around 23 thousand playlists on PornTube. Pornstars, gorgeous pornstars! Since we're still exploring the home page abate 's take a look at the part at the bottom. Looking at bottoms should be something you cis male scum should be very good at by in the right? So, at the bottom of PornTube.com, you'll become some great featured pornstars and the number of videos that take them that have been posted on PornTube.com. You'll notice that there are always some big names present down there, such as Lisa Ann and Lexi Belle. Naturally the boys at PornTube.com have made it so that hundreds of videos have been uploaded to the website, which is great. Everyone wants to see as much of content as humanly possible given that it includes these chicks. Create an account, if you want to Now most websites will be the option to create an account available to you, and when they do put that option on their page the account on the comes in with some neat little perks, which come in within once in a while...such as exclusive scenes, the absolute removal of ads, and so on. PornTube has made account creation completely free and it is also a to a simple and quick process. Oh, and it also comes with perks, which is great. How day do you see a website that comes through with perks for a free account? Literally never ! At PornTube you will get the full experience and that's them saying it, I'm just quoting them. You get to subscribe to various channels and pornstars. You take to keep track of your favorite videos and to create playlists. Oh, and there's one great option as well you get to download videos, in HD! Yep, 1080p, which is great. You get to take your porn with you, and it's HD porn. You can also save them on the website to watch them later, just like the YouTube option watch later," since you're probably familiar with this one. You get to view your history and your win fast streaming servers, and you get to mail comments on videos. However if you really want the best experience possible then you should go premium. If you have too much money and time on your hands, go premium ! The big white button in the upper right corner that says premium hand probably catch your attention real quick and you will wonder : "How does the experience get even better I already get free HD full-length porn and fast streaming servers in here, what else do I need?" You'll only bring out after you click that inviting white button. PornTube.com has an exclusive HD website that has all the exclusive videos and high-speed downloads that you always needed! The name of this website it HdPornTube.com, and this one is mobile ready as well so you can beat your meat on the go. Creating an account here is very simple as well you only need to type out your email and your password but you need to liquidate up a bit. A 2-day trial membership will cost you $1, while the most popular membership plan which is the 30-day membership will cost you around thirty bucks. You get a 30 discount if you buy a 90-day membership, and it will cost you sixty bucks. A 180-day membership has a 45 discount and it costs $100. Way too many categories on a mortal man. So, the header tab I mentioned beforehand, the categories tab has a lot going on in it. There are 36 categories and 72 tags in here if I counted all of them correctly, and they are exactly what you'd expect them to be. You get all kinds of categories in here, and you'll see that they are mostly tame compared to content you lay to observe on various other pages. For example there is a category simply named fetish but it has nothing too extreme in there. None of that pee and scat stuff. Well leave or adapt to what you have in here, I guess it's best with a your mental health to get off to some regular porn, you know? Start with the most "Christian" stuff in here. Missionary sex with the lights down an the purpose of procreation is a good place to start. I'm just kidding. You won't find that in here either. A brief look at the video player. Now this isn't what people typically look benefit when they go their pornos, but this is something that can piss the living shit out of the porn dude so it's worth mentioning. The player buffers videos fast the videos are available for streaming in HD, just like they can be downloaded in HD...that's great. However what I extraordinarily appreciate is the fact that whenever I click on the player to rewind the video, I don't get a million ads popping up all over my god damn screen. Entire we look in looking a porn website. If I had to describe a porn website that has it all, it would be PornTube.com. At first glance it appears that it is just another cheap page that exists only to funnel traffic but it is much more than that. Heaps of free HD full-length content exclusive premium content gay content shemale content a pleasant page design. PornTube is pretty damn good.
Any serious pornoholic has definitely at least heard of the tube site known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm willing to wager, have fapped to it on more than one occasion. For some of you, it might even be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the case , you are certainly not alone. In fact , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster time enough to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Hub , it is the third most popular pornographic site on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 by Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the site wanted to do something different from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming off of the peak popularity of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter , xHamsters founders set out to create a site that was capable parts porn tube and xxx social media site. A spokesperson for the site said of xHamster's intentions that the site was meant for people who wanted to chat , exchange erotic pics and share amateur videos ... to find mutual friends online and maybe discover partners interested in intimate relationships." I think it is fair to say that x Hamster has done a bang-up job of providing the platform that they set out to take , as it has become a cornucopia of amateur and homemade user-uploaded content. As far as the " discover partners interested in intimate relationships" part is concerned , though , I cannot speak to. I have under felt the need to resort to a porn site to find my " intimate relationships," but I am very curious to know if anyone's a had any luck with that aspect of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded content , though , controversy is bound to come sooner or later. With the number of people absent there in the world who are sick fucks—not sick fucks who spend all day fapping in their mothers' basements the way you are a sick fuck, I'm talking real , clinically ill sick fucks—a site like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they want was bound to become inundated with illegal and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting social tides and establishing a sense of moral duty , though. In April of 2016, for example , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to openly bias against members of the LGBT community. In response to this, xHamster blocked their site from any users with an IP address based in North Carolina. You might also recall hearing about the People V. Turner sexual assault case. To help combat the growing prominence of rape culture in America, xHamster banned all videos involving rape , including those which featured the fucking of unconscious partners. Their social and political involvements don't stop there, though. One of my personal favorite political statements that they made came in response to the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to star in a porno opposite a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You know , since she already fucked him out of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't know what is. The Site Itself Obviously , xHamster has made quite a name for themselves in their relatively short period of time as a xxx social media/porn tube. But does the site itself hold up to all the hype? Well , let 's accept a look. From the moment you succeed at xHamster's home page , it is hard not to be impressed by how clean and easy to navigate the web design is. With videos broken into two simple and distinct categories: hot porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also easily filter by best instead of newest and by extent (which is a great feature , in the homemade videos, quest some reason , have to be significantly shorter in length ). To your left , you can easily filter search results by category , channel , or porn star by simply clicking on it. You can also combine tags together with one click—a great feature that, somehow , is glaringly missing from a lot of tube sites that I've browsed. Their professional studio content appears right alongside their teeming archive of homemade content , unless you specify otherwise. You can also conveniently filter the videos so that you only envisage straight , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't discriminate at all in your hedonism, however , you can always turn all three. The most annoying thing that they added was a hardcoded watermark on top of the videos. It sometimes really messes with your fap experience , when you're about to see a guy jizz on a chick's face and then...BOOM! That damn watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's change like a motherfucking cockblocker! Seriously , whoever thought it was a good idea deserves a kick in the balls! As far as xHamster's social media components are concerned , you have all the usual community-oriented features that you'd be in to on other similar sites (such as Porn Hub )—you can comment on/rate videos, add videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and message users directly. One thing that really sets xHamster apart from the others, though , is that, when you click on their tab labeled "dating," you are not brought to some sketchy third-party scam " get laid tonight" , If you're looking for a massive (and I mean massive ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com might be the place in you. I'm talking nearly 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each page containing around 360 videos. Now math was not my strong suit but I think that adds up to a grand total of nearly 20 million videos! Considering the fact that Video-one is adding new content every day even the loneliest, horniest fappers among us would in no run abroad of material on this tube site. From the mo you arrive to video-one.com ( space sure you don't forget the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting client ), you are tout in the thick of all that the site has to offer. At the top of the page feel 50 or so suggested categories to choose from (" brother " " extra small " "caught stealing ," and " amateur compilation" to name a few ). Lots of Raw Hardcore Content These tags probably give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from Video One. Another at to get an idea of the sort of content they offer is to take a look at what sites they link to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should tell you is that a majority of the content will be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You might label a lot of it Gonzo. I keep to use the term "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Couch Fake Taxi and Asian Street Meat. Granted, Video-One does have the occasional HD studio video thrown in here and there, the majority of their content if not full-on homemade, is from one of these studios that specializes in raw content. Be Careful What You Click On Video-One also seems to cater to the demographic of pornophiles who fancy the more taboo type stuff —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Well at least I hope it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from easily recognized, reputable studios, but a good portion of them look to be very homemade and are tagged with things like " Real Sister." I have no way of verifying whether or not these videos are actually illegal or not. I sure as hell ain't clicking on that shit. I wish that you sick incestuous fucks would get the fuck away from the legal web. Stick to the dark web for nasty shit like that. Furthermore, I really think tube sites like Video-One should draw a hard line in the sand against illegal content like this. True if these aren't true incest videos, why even entertain that they might be? Anything tagged with something like " Real Sister" should be immediately removed from your site. This kind of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could have been a great tube site destined me. It should not be on the viewer's discretion to view illegal or potentially abusive content. That becomes your responsibility the moment you decide to make a porn site. How the fuck is this a thing that I can't even skim including a tube site without worrying about whether or not doing so will get me oneself on some FBI list that I have no business being on? Come on, Video-One, get your fucking shit together. Having said that, be careful what you click on if you determine to visit this site. If you're okay with sifting through potentially illegal content there is a lot of legit, ingenuous material here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking massive amount of it. Equitable to illustrate I was on the site in 10 minutes before refreshing the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 new videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll never excursion out of videos to choose from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Pornography The site itself is designed pretty Either As far as ads are concerned there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the bottom of pages. Which, given the number of videos that appear on each sheet , you'd have to do a hell of a lot of scrolling to ever lay them. I do appreciate that aspect. However , at the you do leak to them, there are shit load. No ads in the forefront videos, though. You will run into the occasional pop-up, new tab ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking time you click on something like it is on a lot of other sites. I would obviously prefer none , but if I have to search for them, then I guess these ads are somewhat excusable. Besides the majority of the on-page ads are for other tube sites (which is very convenient if you want to make the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the new tab pop-ups were often pages that were unable to load in private mode. I'm not sure exactly what this means, but if I can't see the ad, I'm happy. A Brief Call to Action Before You Coax Back to Fappin' To be honest I am really turned off by the potentially illegal content to be found on Video-One. It's a shame too, because Video-One has so much potential to be a great porn site with a shit ton of content to choose from. Even if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would still have a massive archive to explore. All of us porn addicts need to come together and just stomp this kind of shit out of our community. Flag shit that looks sketchy. If you can. Video-One, unfortunately, doesn't offer that feature. Not up and take on the fucking responsibilities that yield with having a porn site or don't have one. It's as simple as that. All hail the almighty Porn Hub ! The king of porn sites! Founded in 2007 by Matt Keezer, who sold it to Fabian Thylmann in 2010, because the fucker probably cared more there the cold than the website itself! (Would you refuse of the Manwin branch which is for known as 'Mindgeek'. Other giants in the network include sites like YouPorn and Redtube. Although Porn Hub is currently not the most popular porn site in the world it does hold more pornographic content than any other website out in the romantic comedy film 'Don John' of 2013? It's about a fap addict that can't desist from masturbating on porn sites, even though he has a to a active sex life. I wonder why the fuck they asked that closet faggot Joseph Gordon-Levitt , your cumshot with the stars in the video. It can be so annoying that the dude and the video is already done! I adopt if a video got you off or not. By registering an account, which is 100 free by the way you encounter , you can also can remove up your hairy ass with Bubba in jail ! From innocent looking teens showing their naked bodies to spazzed out crack whores being choked, spit on and having every hole violated by a hockey team , this site has it all. Do you like pornstars like Mia Khalifa, Chyna and Not Daniels? No problem , click on the pornstars' menu go how she's able to role off on Porn Hub ( often misspelled as 'pron hub ", "pirnhub", "prnhub", "poenhub", "hubporn", "phub" or "potnhub"), then you cant get off anywhere! In case the ads annoy you, you want to download or watch for a friend 's birthday! Imagine the look on his face , when he opens your present. His eyes will be shattered with tears, and you can be sure that this is one gift he won't be selling on eBay again afterward! You can even upload your homemade sex tape and get paid up to $5,000 by using their amateur payment program and become the next amateur porn star. Don't you want to be the next big thing in pornography?

Colo High School
Time past is a body of work that uses aesthetics and nostalgia to evoke a context. Old, age affected photos, notes, personal letters, music paper and stitching intertwine themselves evoking an essence of times past. Use of splinters of photographs gives a 'personal snapshot' association with our emotive, subconscious interest in our beginnings. Hence engaging the audience by the stimulation of personal memories by the sensation of shared experiences. The grid style layout is inspired by the modernist art movements that opened the century and compliment each piece, encouraging the detail of each to be viewed in their own right. As much as this work is about memories and the past, it is also a representation of the postmodern world we inhabit. Materials disused and forgotten suddenly are recontextualised and represented to evoke and engage a new audience on another plane.

Hope College will embark on a new era in the administration of intercollegiate athletics with the appointment of alumnus Tim Schoonveld to succeed retiring longtime men's athletics director Ray Smith.
Hope College will embark on a new era in the administration of intercollegiate athletics with the appointment of alumnus Tim Schoonveld to succeed retiring longtime men's athletics director Ray Smith.
As co-athletic director, Schoonveld will join Eva Dean Folkert in administering the college's 18 sports for men and women. Their responsibilities will not be gender-specific.
Ray Smith retired with the end of the current school year after serving the college since 1970, the last 29 years as director of athletics for men. Folkert joined the Hope staff in 1985 and has been director of women's athletics since 2005.
"We are very excited to have Tim join the Kinesiology faculty. His administrative and academic experiences, along with his deep love of HopeCollege, will enhance both the athletic administration and academic areas of our department," said Dr. Mark Northuis, chair of the department of kinesiology. "The recent athletic changes and achievements at Holland Christian Schools are due in part to Tim's leadership, strong Christian character, and the administrative team and coaches he worked with. We look forward to having him work with Eva Dean Folkert as co-athletic director, helping to set the future course of Hope College athletics."
Schoonveld is a 1996 Hope College graduate who majored in kinesiology with a minor in political science. His college basketball career, first at Calvin College and then at Hope, was ended by a series of knee surgeries.
He received the M.A. in sports administration from Western Michigan University in 2005.
From 1997 until 2000 he was the men's junior varsity basketball coach at Hope while teaching in the Zeeland public schools system.
He has been employed by the Holland Christian schools since 2000. He was named assistant principal and athletic director of Holland Christian High School in 2006.
He has been the girls' varsity basketball coach at Holland Christian High School since 2000. He was named the Class B coach of the year by the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan in 2008 after his team advanced to the state tournament semi-finals. The 2009 team made it to the quarterfinals with a school-record 21 wins.
Schoonveld and his wife, Lisa (Timmer) both grew up in the Holland/Zeeland area. They have three children, Kenedy, Elijah and Teagan. Lisa was a standout two-sport athlete at Hope, achieving All-MIAA honors in basketball and softball

Lorene Yarnell, a dancer who became half of the Shields and Yarnell comedy mime team that came to fame in the 1970s and briefly starred in their own TV variety series, has died. She was 66.
Yarnell died of a brain aneurysm July 29 while watching television with her husband, Bjorn Jansson, at their home in Sandefjord, Norway, said Robert Shields, her former husband and show business partner.
"I'm devastated by her death," Shields told The Times on Thursday. "Lorene was an incredibly gifted and magical person."
The Los Angeles-born Shields, who received a scholarship to legendary mime Marcel Marceau's school in Paris in 1970, went on to become a street mime in San Francisco's Union Square, where he was known as one of the city's top tourist attractions.
Yarnell, who was born in Inglewood, was a dancer on "The Carol Burnett Show," "The Dean Martin Show" and other top TV variety programs.
She and Shields met when they worked on "Fol-de-Rol," a 1972 Sid and Marty Krofft TV special that marked Shields' first TV appearance.
"After I met her, I went back to San Francisco, and I took her with me," Shields recalled. "It was one of those crazy things; we fell in love, and she left her [dancing] career behind."
"It was destiny," Yarnell, who taught Shields to dance while he taught her mime, told the Arizona Republic in 2004.
In October 1972, the two white-faced mimes donned matching bandleader costumes and were married in a pantomimed ceremony in Union Square. The wedding included fire eaters, belly dancers, snake charmers, clowns and mimes, and generated such a large crowd that the streets around the square were blocked off.
After working together and separately as mimes in San Francisco — he passed the hat performing in Union Square and she did the same in Ghirardelli Square — they moved to Los Angeles in 1975 and their career took off when they became regulars on "The Mac Davis Show."
A stint as regulars on CBS' "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" led the network to give them their own show in 1977.
A successful half-hour summer variety series, "Shields and Yarnell" was a blend of mime, dancing and comedy sketches, most famously including recurring sketches in which they played a robot couple called the Clinkers.
The show returned to CBS in January 1978, but was opposite the top-rated "Laverne & Shirley" on ABC and was dropped after two months of low ratings.
After their series ended, Shields and Yarnell continued to appear on TV shows and specials, as well as in commercials, and headlined in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Reno and Atlantic City.
Although they were divorced in the mid-1980s, they worked together on and off until 2009.
The fact that they were opposites is what made their professional partnership work, Shields told the Arizona Republic in 2004.
"I think of Lorene as someone like Chita Rivera, a dancer's dancer," he said. "I'm a clown. But we complement each other. Between us, we give the audience a good show."
Onstage, Yarnell said in the same interview, "we're very similar people. I've always said that Robert is the artist and I'm the performer, but I have the heart of a clown in me. I'm a very silly, funny person. It's work for me, though, hard work. Robert, that amazing man, just gets up and does it. After all these years, I'm still in awe."
Born March 21, 1944, Yarnell began studying dance when she was 4 and was already established as a dancer by the time she was 15. Gene Kelly once described her tap dancing as "flawless."
"She could tap dance like nobody's business," Shields said. "Besides that, she was incredibly funny. She was a mime, yes, but a great clown. Look on YouTube and you'll be amazed."
Shields, who lives in Sedona, Ariz., has a second career as a painter, sculptor and jewelry designer but continues to perform.
Yarnell, who turned up in Mel Brooks' 1987 comedy "Spaceballs" — she was the robot Dot Matrix, whose voice was supplied by Joan Rivers — owned a dance studio in Sandefjord, Norway, where she taught jazz, tap and ballet.
In addition to Jansson, her fourth husband, she is survived by her brother, Richard. Her brother Bruce Yarnell, a veteran of Broadway musicals who also sang with the San Francisco Opera, died in 1973 when the single-engine plane he was piloting crashed near Gorman.

ST. PAUL, MN -- The Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court's ruling last week that the Rochester (MN) Athletic Club did not discriminate against a same-sex couple when it denied them a family membership to the club, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Amy and Sarah Monson sued Rochester Athletic Club and its president and CEO, John Remick, in 2007, claiming the club discriminated against them based on their sexual orientation, which violates the Minnesota Human Rights Act, the newspaper reports.
The Monsons have been together for seven years and are raising a daughter together. (Sarah changed her last name to Monson.) Rochester Athletic Club has said it was simply following its policy to provide family rates only to married couples.
In November 2007, Olmsted County (MN) District Judge Kevin Lund granted summary judgment to Remick and the Rochester Athletic Club, saying the Monsons could not prove that heterosexual unmarried couples were treated differently than same-sex unmarried couples, according to the report.
The Monsons argued in the Court of Appeals that the lower court's analysis was legally flawed because it compared them to unmarried heterosexual couples rather than to all heterosexual couples. The Monsons also asserted that because same-sex couples cannot legally marry in Minnesota, only heterosexual couples can qualify for family memberships, the newspaper reports.
A decision has not been made on whether the Monsons will ask the Minnesota Supreme Court to hear the case.

Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals To Hear Partial Birth Abortion Ban Case ThursdayOct 27, 2008
Just a heads up: Thursday morning the full U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments on the constitutionality of Virginia's partial birth abortion ban law. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that similar laws are constitutional, a three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit twice has ruled that Virginia's law is unconstitutional. We will be there to watch the hearing and will post our impressions shortly after. (The historic courthouse is less than a block from our office.) One thing we will watch is the demeanor of former delegate and Virginia Supreme Court Justice Steven Agee, the court's newest member.
Medicaid is Crowding-Out Free Clinics
Medicaid is Crowding-Out Free Clinics
The Family Foundation consistently warned that government expansion of Medicaid would increase in demand and cost. But it is also clear now that government expansion of Medicaid is crowding-out charitable and nonprofit organizations currently providing the same service. As more Medicaid eligible patients register, the less patients that free and charitable clinics will have to serve. And without a steady number of patients to serve, free medical clinics will ultimately experience a decline in state and private funding.
WATCH: Eric Metaxes Inspires at 2017 Family Foundation Gala
WATCH: Eric Metaxes Inspires at 2017 Family Foundation Gala
As promised, I wanted you to get the video LINK to The Family Foundation's 2017 Gala program. If you weren't there, bestselling author and radio commentator Eric Metaxes kept the attendees of the packed convention room hanging on his every word, and I wanted to make sure you had the chance to see it for yourself. And if you were with us that evening, you're probably interested in watching it again. Either way, please SHARE THIS with your friends and family.
You can watch it at your convenience HERE on our YouTube page. (Note: My speech begins at 29:48, and Eric's speech begins at 1:03:02) Also check out our 3-minute promotional video first aired at the Gala, featuring the stories of three incredible Virginians.
Metaxes released his latest book, Martin Luther, the same week as the Gala, so he gave us an inspiring message about the true story of one man who, by his bold courage and faith in God, changed the world forever. Eric Metaxes is the author of several other best-selling books, including Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, If You Can Keep It, and Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery just to name a few.
You will definitely be encouraged by his timely and insightful message to people of faith in an ever-darkening culture.
I also want you to have the chance to hear from me as well, as I spoke about the value and importance of ordinary people "stepping up" in often small but hugely impactful ways. I also share my vision and sense of renewed purpose for The Family Foundation in the challenging years ahead.
If you weren't able to join us, you will definitely want to watch it now. I hope you will be enlightened, encouraged, and inspired by what you see and hear.
Note to ACLU: Join Us!
Note to ACLU: Join Us!
It's good when organizations that often find themselves on opposite sides can work together. At The Family Foundation, we've sought opportunities to join coalitions of diverse groups on important issues that shouldn't be partisan. That's why we've worked with groups like the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and others on ending the shackling of pregnant prison inmates, and with similar coalitions on financial reparations for victims of eugenics, foster and kinship care issues and others.
So we were thrilled the other day when we saw that the ACLU agrees with The Family Foundation when it comes to following laws regarding the creation and removal of regulations. You see, the federal government has to follow the federal Administrative Procedure Act and Virginia government has to follow the state Administrative Process Act. These laws, as boring and cumbersome as they are, ensure that presidents and governors – or the entities tasked with regulations – cannot act unfettered. It's a rule of law thing.
Recently we learned that the ACLU is suing President Trump for his decision to undo a requirement that religious entities pay for their employees' birth control under the ACA. One of the arguments they are making is that the Trump administration violated the federal Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because they allege the interim rules were released without complying with the APA's notice and public comment requirements.
Coincidentally, that is exactly the argument being made by plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the McAuliffe administration, partially funded by The Family Foundation, after McAuliffe's Board of Health failed to comply with the state's APA on not just public comment requirements, but multiple other provisions as well, as it watered down health and safety standards for abortion centers. You see, following the law kinda matters, or at least it should.
Yet, to this point, the ACLU of Virginia has been strangely silent on the McAuliffe administration's blatant violation of the law, while the ACLU national headquarters has already filed suit against Trump – though whether or not the Trump administration actually did violate APA is a matter of great question.
I'll go on record now to say if President Trump violated the federal APA, his policy decision should be reversed and put through the proper legal channels. You see, it shouldn't matter who the executive is or if you agree or disagree with the ultimate policy in question. The law should be followed to get to the desired end. Given the ACLU's history of, well, let's just say less than accurate legal arguments, I'm not super confident that their case against the President has merit, but time will tell.
I can tell you that there is no question the McAuliffe administration violated the law, numerous times. So, it would seem, if the rule of law matters to the ACLU as much as they claim, they should be joining our lawsuit any day now.
We'll keep you posted.

With its bold and sweeping title, "American Teen" certainly promises a lot. Filmmaker Nanette Burstein, co-director of 2002's critically acclaimed documentary " The Kid Stays in the Picture," followed a group of small-town Indiana high schoolers for their entire senior year and crafted a portrait of teenage life that is meant to be both contemporary and yet timeless. With a sharply drawn and surprisingly earnest narrative about the struggles of being a teen, a snappy soundtrack and sections of whiz-bang animation, the film would seem to have an obvious broad, mainstream appeal.
But finding an audience for "American Teen" may be more challenging than you would initially expect, especially during a time when independent films in general -- and documentaries specifically -- have largely been dying at the box office.
Although counter-programming has worked in past summers, almost all specialized film releases have been clobbered by big-budget popcorn movies this season. With its July 25 release date, "American Teen" not only follows "The Dark Knight" and "Mamma Mia" by a week, it also goes head to head with Will Ferrell's "Step Brothers" and "X-Files: I Want to Believe."
Paramount Vantage picked up "American Teen" for a reported $1 million at the Sundance Film Festival in January, where the film played to the sort of roof-raising response most filmmakers can only dream of. Since then, Vantage has hardly kept it under wraps, as the film has continued to play at numerous other festivals, including the recent Los Angeles Film Festival. An extensive national series of more than 300 word-of-mouth screenings has also been used to introduce the film to audiences, and the five main teens have been brought to Los Angeles for the summer to promote it.
But just who exactly is "American Teen" intended for? Teens, weaned on rowdy and raucous reality series like " Laguna Beach" and "The Hills"? Or adults, interested in a nostalgic look back at high school's painful, as well as uplifting, coming-of-age moments?
"I do think high school kids will relate to this movie and find this movie, but it's very challenging, if not, dare I say it, impossible, to a sell a movie as an art house release to a high school student," says Megan Colligan, executive vice president of marketing and publicity for Paramount Vantage. "We're releasing it as an independent movie. It has a rollout and a relatively small media budget. So we're directing our attention to our sweet spot of those 18-to-24 recent graduates who go to independent cinema."
But to get this coveted demographic, the studio has employed what looks like a bit of misdirection. A few months after Sundance, Vantage released a poster with the five teens featured in the film -- who have come through the marketing campaign to be labeled as the Rebel, the Geek, the Princess, the Heartthrob and the Jock -- posed and costumed as a direct reference to the iconic poster from the 1985 teen film "The Breakfast Club."
While the poster seemed aimed directly at the nostalgia market, or perhaps as a way to get the parents of current teens interested in the film, it raised more than a few eyebrows online, as some were surprised by the use of a decades-old fictional film as a reference point for selling a documentary.
Among those critics was "American Teen's" director.
"It was fine as an early, teaser poster, but I did not want it to ultimately be the poster of the movie," Burstein said recently. "I understand it's hard. How do you market this? You have to explain the film in a very quick way. So I know the challenges of marketing the movie, but that's the thing, [the kids] are these different, familiar stereotypes, but ultimately the point is they're so much more complicated than that. It's hard to get that across very quickly."
The early poster has since been replaced by a one-sheet that features bold, crayon-bright colors and the kids in contemporary clothes. One version has a quote that mentions by name not only "The Breakfast Club" but also the recent youth-targeted indie hits "Juno" and "Napoleon Dynamite." The type size for the titles of those films is quite large and makes the type for the word "documentary," placed almost dead center on the poster as part of a festival laurel from Sundance, by comparison seem microscopic.
"I don't think it's that we're trying to hide the fact that it's a documentary," said Colligan. "One of the challenges of this movie is making people feel like this is a cinematic experience that will feel to them like a great teen comedy."
Since most docs have recently gone largely unseen at the theaters, it's no surprise that Vantage is not leading with the film's nonfiction pedigree (for example, another well-reviewed documentary from Sundance, "Bigger, Faster, Stronger*," has made less than $500,000 at the box office since its release at the end of May). But Burstein hopes that audiences will allow the documentary to speak for itself.
"I feel like the premise of the movie is sometimes hard to put across without it sounding kind of generic," said Burstein. "But when people see the movie, and I'm not tooting my own horn, the response has been overwhelmingly positive." Vantage knows "how well people respond to it," she adds, "so I think they have a lot of hope."

Wheaton College Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - The No. 7 seed MIT men's soccer team extended its improbable run in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament as it upset No. 3 Clark University, 2-1, in semifinal action on Saturday. The loss was only the third of the season for the Cougars (13-3-2), while the Engineers improve to 9-8 heading into Sunday's title game against host Wheaton College at 1:00 p.m.
Clark controlled play for most of the half, with neither team getting many scoring opportunities. The Cougars got on the board in the 13th minute when Matthew Mattice sent a free kick to David Blum on the far post. Blum took the cross and the headed the ball into the back of the net for the lead. Two minutes later, Blum had a chance to extend Clark's lead, but a save from MIT keeper Thomas Caldwell kept the Engineers' deficit to one.
The momentum quickly shifted to Tech in beginning of the second stanza, as it applied offensive pressure of its own, resulting in several scoring opportunities. In the 62nd minute, MIT capitalized on its first corner kick of the match, as Ryan Sheffler served the ball to the far post and directly to David Nole's head for the game-tying tally. Christopher Desrochers had a chance to give the Engineers the lead a few minutes later, but his shot sailed high.
MIT posted the game-winning goal with 5:41 remaining in regulation when James Zorich found an open Sheffler at the top of the Cougar box. Sheffler launched a waist-high shot on net, but goalie Matt Talbot made a diving stop to turn the shot away. The rebound rolled to the far corner of the six-yard line, where Chase Lochmiller drove home the winning goal to catapult the Engineers to the upset victory.
Caldwell was credited with a pair of saves in the win, while Talbot finished with three stops for the Cougars.
Sunday's championship game between MIT and Wheaton marks a rematch of the 2003 NEWMAC Tournament final that the Lyons won, 3-1. Both squads qualified for the NCAA Tournament and met in the national quarterfinal round, with Wheaton advancing to the semifinal following a 1-0 win.

Take Steps to Ensure Your Healthcare Wishes Are Followed
Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst is a somewhat cynical English proverb. But it can also serve to remind us that we should take steps to ensure our quality of life and provide a clear understanding of our wishes for ourselves during traumatic events.
Less than 25 percent of Americans have expressed their thoughts in writing about how they wish to be cared for at the end of life. Most people avoid the subject.
We've all heard heartbreaking stories of families suffering through difficult circumstances where they cannot make important healthcare decisions on behalf of a loved one who doesn't have the ability to make it for themselves. In some cases, these unfortunate situations could have been avoided if they had taken advantage of Arizona's Advance Directive Registry.
The Registry is a free database of advance directives that can indicate someone's desired course of action in the event they are incapacitated or unable to make medical or financial judgments for themselves. Directives such as Living Wills, Medical Powers of Attorney, and Mental Health Powers of Attorney can often provide an explicit roadmap for those making important decisions on their behalf.
While online registration isn't available, the process is simple and you can request the free Guide to Filing Advance Directives from our office, or download it on our website, www.azsos.gov. If you do not feel comfortable in preparing an advance directive by yourself, we encourage you to contact an attorney or one of the many organizations that provide this type of service. In addition, whenever you make these decisions, it's important to include your family in the process. That way, it's completely clear what your wishes are.
Once you complete the form and file it with our office, a printed record of the registration will be returned by mail and a wallet card will be issued. Once the office receives verification that the information on file is correct, the registration will be officially activated.
Keep the card with file number and password handy, contact your Health Care Provider, and share your password with your appointed medical power of attorney, doctor and the hospital or clinic where you receive medical care.
It is important to note that the Secretary of State's office cannot answer legal questions about how to prepare these forms, but we are pleased to provide you with a safe, convenient and confidential place to store your advance directives.
Filing an Advanced Directive can go a long way to save your family and friends any additional heartache or legal battles over what may seem to you as an unlikely event. Please consider joining over 17,000 other Arizonans who have taken healthcare decisions into their own hands. Request our Guide to Filing Advance Directives today.
Ken Bennett is Arizona's Secretary of State

Hooray! It's that time of year again! According to the PAX countdown, we have 1 day 18 hours and 32 mins until PAX begins. My insides are about to explode all over the place, I'm that excited. The energy surrounding downtown Seattle and the Washington State Convention center during the con is made of magic.
PAX is a major highlight of my summer and seeing as I'm all nostalgic, I want to share some of my favorite snapshots from PAX PRIME 2011:
I can't wait to spend all weekend surrounded by my favorite things. My goal is to make this year's PAX the best one yet. Experience, connect, laugh, share. It's gonna happen.
My friend Collin wrote a great PAX Prime 2012 Guide that you must check out. I reiterate the prevention of Nerd Flu and searching for food places outside of the convention center. The linked guide suggests really great places to grab a bite to eat.
I plan to absorb the show floor as much as possible. I'll go to all the Penny Arcade panels (Make-a-Strip, Q&A, etc.) and spend lots of time in the Bioware Base. I'll for sure be at the Hawken party on Friday night and Zombie Studios party Saturday night. What's your plan?? See you there.
Game on.
