Windowgain 02:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC) WindowGain, Inc. is an innovative new media and out-of-home advertising company. Using a patent-pending process, we are creating an entirely new and untapped canvas for advertisers by converting unused or underused windows into vivid, high-definition video displays.[reply]

A WindowGain display can be installed or removed in just one day, and our entire system resides behind the display platform, requiring no exterior construction. Because no equipment or framing apparatus is used on the outside, a passer-by sees only a high-definition screen that, like the original window, meshes seamlessly with the architecture of the existing structure.

Johann Ernst Galliard

edit

Archived discussion follows below. Please do not modify it.

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

Johann Ernst Galliard lived from 1687 until 1749. Galliard was born in Zelle to a French wig-maker. His first composition formation began at age 15. Galliard studied composition under Farinelli, the director of music at the Court of Hanover, and Abbate Steffani. In addition to his composition ability, he was also a capable oboe and recorder player. Galliard made a step forward in his musical career when he performed one of his original compositions. This Sonata for oboe and two bassoons debuted at one Farinelli’s concerts. Galliard earned an esteemed seat in the chamber music of George. Prince of Denmark. Later, he moved to England where he would become the next chapel-master of the Somerset-House. Galliard became a familiar face in high society due to his proximity to and frequenting of the royal residence. In response to war victories, Galliard composed Te Deum, Jubilate, and three additional anthems.

Bigger and better things seemed promising following his participation in the founding of the Academy of Ancient Music. However, in the scrap for kingdom wide directorial status, Galliard fell short to greats such as Handel and Bononcini. He wrote the music to Clypso and Tlemachus upon the request of a friend, the poet John Hughes. Despite approval from his peers, the show was a failure. As a result, he was refocused on his oboe performance. He joined Handel’s Italian Opera in 1713 as an oboe soloist. Galliard composed several more cantatas to texts by Hughes and Congreve. He published an opera, music to the Morning Hymn of Adam and Eve taken form Milton’s Paradise Lost, and a large number of pantomimes which he turned out under contract to Rich, the enterprising manager of the Lincoln’s-Inn-Fields Theatre. His published instrumental music includes the following: “Six Sonatas for a Flute and a Thorough Bass,” “Six Solos for the Violoncello,” and “Six Sonatas for the Bassoon or Violoncello with a Thorough Bass for the Harpsichord.”

Fuzzy Cognitive Map

edit

Archived discussion follows below. Please do not modify it.

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

A Fuzzy cognitive map is a cognitive map within which the relations between the elements (e.g. concepts, events, project ressources) of a "mental landscape" can be used to compute the "strength of impact" of these elements. The theory behind that computation is fuzzy logic^[1].

Hasse diagrams are used to visualize FCMs. Spreadsheets or tables are used to map FCMs into Matrixes for further computation^[2].

A simple application of FMCs is described in a book^[3] of William R. Taylor, where the war in Afghanistan and Irak is analyzed. And in Bart Kosko's book Fuzzy Thinking^[4], several Hasse diagrams illustrate the use of FCMs. As an example, one FCM quoted from Rod Taber^[5] describes 11 factors of the American cocaine market and the relations between these factors. For computations, Taylor uses quintary logic (scalar values out of {-1,-0.5,0,+0.5,+1}). The map of Taber uses trinary logic (scalar values out of {-1,0,+1}).

Heinrich/Henry Klumb

edit

Archived discussion follows below. Please do not modify it.

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

Born in Cologne, Germany in 1905, Heinrich Klumb emigrated to discover the United States in 1927, at the age of 22, on the aptly-named steamship Columbus. An honors graduate of the Staatliche Bauschule School of Architecture in Cologne in 1926, his design education in Germany was heavily influenced by the Deutsche Werkbund school , a plastic arts program developed by German architect Herman Muthesius. He served as Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentice for 5 years at Taliesin North (Spring Green, Wisconsin) before setting off on his own, a risky proposition in the midsts of the Great Depression. While under Wright's wing, Klumb, who Americanized his first name to Henry, was intimately involved in the design of the construction camp at Ocatillo, Arizona, in which foreswore Wright's geometrics and chose to adapt the design to nature's irregular placement of boulders and cacti, helping develop what in the 1930's and -40's would come to be known as "Geo-Architecture". In August, 1931, while coordinating a Frank Lloyd Wright travelling exhibit throughout Europe, Klumb married Else Schmidt, his first and only wife, whom he brings to the states in November of that year, and with whom he has two children, Peter (born 1936), and Richard (born 1940). He became a US citizen in 1937.

After leaving in 1933 to satisfy what Wright described as his "wanderlust" , Henry Klumb helped design the New Deal town of Greenbelt, New Jersey, and he designed a major exhibition of Native American Art for the Golden Gate Exhibition in 1939 in San Francisco, where lived before relocating to Los Angeles in 1941. While there, he helped develop the city's master plan and collaborated with Richard Neutra in designing minimalist housing prototypes. He's responsible for the design of the Battaglia, Coty and Meador houses in Burbank, as well as the Plumb house in Los Angeles during that period.

Having met New Deal brain trust planner Rexford Tugwell in the late 1930's, he was invited to move to Puerto Rico in 1944 and collaborate in the design of the post-war modern Puerto Rico. A nomad for the first four decades of his life, he left Los Angeles on February 24, 1944, his 39th birthday and finally found a "home" in San Juan, Puerto Rico and devoted most of the rest of his life to building up Puerto Rico.

His most important work on the island, as sole architect of the University of Puerto Rico from 1946 to 1966, was to develop its main campus' master plan, as well as design many of its buildings. He also did design work for other emerging UPR campuses arund the island. As a member of the Public Works Design Committee, he was responsible for the design of multiple government structures throughout Puerto Rico. His public sector work attracted many private commissions, including private residences, churches and commercial buildings.

As his level of work increased at The Office of Henry Klumb, as he names his firm, he started mentoring budding Puerto Rican architects. When that was not enough, he also recruited talented young professionals from the mainland (in fact, the current Senate President's surname arrived in Puerto Rico when Klumb recruited a recently graduated architect from the University of Texas, George McClintock, to join his firm). He also collaborated with budding Puerto Rican architects, such as the Toro & Ferrer partnership, on many projects.

Shortly after his arrival in Puerto Rico, Klumb also founded the ARKLU furniture factory, which produced distinctive tropical architecture, some of which were bought by the new Caribe Hilton Hotel and the Museum of Modern Art for exhibition.

In 1968, he established the Klumb Foundation.

In 1979, the American Institute of Architects selected him as its first "Fellow" from Puerto Rico.

In 1981, the Puerto Rico Architects Association establishes the annual Klumb Award, the first of which is awarded to him.

On November 20, 1984, he and his wife Else died in an automobile accident in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Among his more prominent designs for UPR are the Río Piedras Faculty Residences in 1946, the Río Piedras Agricultural Experimental Station, the UPR Museum of Anthropology, History and Art, the UPR General Library, the UPR Student Center in Río Piedras, the Agricultural Sciences Building in Mayagüez, the UPR Law School and the General Studies building, among others.

His private design commissions, include the New York Department Store in Santurce, Bayamón and Caguas, the San Ignacio de Loyola churchand school in Río Piedras, the Puerto Rico International Airport in Isla Verde and the Caparra Country Club in Guaynabo, as well as work for several emerging pharmaceutical firms, including Eli Lilly, Parke-Davis, Baxter, Roche, Searle and Travenol. Many of Puerto Rico's most impressive private residences are Klumb designs.

The red fox lives in wooded areas, farmland, and prairies. The fur of the red fox is orangish-red and has white on its chest and under its neck. Its legs and feet and ears are black. Its tail is bushy and white. This animal is found in much of the continental United States and Canada (in exception to the far north). Parts of Europe and Asia and Australia are also home to the red fox. The mating season lasts from January to March. The female builds more than one den so that she can use another one if one gets disturbed. About two months after mating, the female gives birth from one to ten “kits”. The kits eventually begin to play and eat hunted food. After about seven months, the kits leave the den. The red fox is an omnivore. Its diet ranges from rabbits to beetles to berries. It hunts even if it’s full and buries it for later. The red fox is often seen in the day, although it is nocturnal. It has the ability to hear low-frequency sounds very well (something many mammals do not have). This allows it to hear small animals digging underground and for it to follow it. It pounces on its prey once it is close enough. In exception to the female with kits, the fox usually doesn’t have a den. It lies on the ground and curls into a little ball and keeps warm with its little bushy tail.

Gerry Cottle (born 1945) is the former owner of Gerry Cottle's Circus, the Moscow State Circus and the Chinese State Circus. He is now the owner of Wookey Hole caves near Wells in England.

Early life and circuses

edit

The son of a stockbroker and housewife, he first experienced circus performances when aged eight. He was taken to see Jack Hilton's Circus at Earl's Court, London. Finding the circus to be the antithesis of his staid and conventional upbringing, Cottle idolised the performers and was delighted when he finally learned to juggle.

Using his mother's oranges, he was hired by his father, a grand-master in the Masons, to appear on ladies' night when he was 13. He also got a part-time job while he was still at school litter-picking at Chessington Zoo. The 1950s and 1960s were the heyday of the British circus, when the arrival of a show in town was seen as a major event, and for Cottle it was an instant passport out of middle-class life and onto the open road.

Gerry Cottle was 15 when he ran away to the circus in 1961, leaving a tape-recorded message for his parents that ran:

"Please do not under any circumstances try to find me. I have gone forever. I have joined the circus. You do not understand me. I have gone."

Leaving behind any pretence at attaining educational certificates, he skipped school and caught a train from his home in Cheam to Newcastle and joined Robert Brothers Circus.

His early days were extremely tough, partly because the circus is a deeply incestuous and frequently unfriendly world, dominated by a handful of spirited, intermarried families – the Gandeys, Roberts, Fossetts and Paulos. Cottle was known in circus speech as a "josser", an outsider to be distrusted and humiliated.

At Robert Brothers, he was first offered the job of "lion tamer" but decided against a career working with the caged lions because their previous trainer had been mauled to death. He then attempted to become a horse-trick rider but gave up after several falls. His first appearance in the ring was as the back of the pantomime horse, at which he was also not very good. Mostly, he just did the menial work of shovelling elephant manure.

He moved to a smaller show working for Joe Gandey, where a lack of paying customers meant that performances were cancelled and wages never materialised. He stayed with Gandey for three years however, learning the skills needed to run and manage a circus. He also developed the skills of a showman, essential in the role he had chosen for himself.

"But Cottle did not simply want to work in a circus. His ambition was to own the biggest circus Britain had ever seen."

Cottle realised that acceptance in the circus would be easier if he married into one of the great circus families. He first saw Betty Fossett when she was 12 years old, appearing in her family's circus presenting ponies and courted her relentlessly. By the time she was 16, they had moved into a caravan together where they were both working on the James Brothers Circus. He married Betty and they had three daughters, who followed their mother into the ring, and a son, Gerry Jnr.

Gerry Cottle's Circus

edit

Cottle says that he never had ambitions to be in a circus act himself. "From when I was a kid I always wanted to be the boss of one." His father loaned him £60 to get started, he explains, and some while later, he teamed up with a friend, Brian Austen, to form today's Cottle Austen Circus.

Now, he also manages and works with the Moscow State Circus and The Chinese State Circus http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4263088,00.html

Circus of Horrors

edit

With the growing resentment of the public to circuses involving animals and the animal cruelty charges brought before fellow circus owner Mary Chipperfield

Gerry Cottle’s Circus Limited v City of Edinburgh District Council 1990, Scots Law Times 235 http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/research/pdf_res_notes/rn00-36.pdf

However, an application can only be refused on the above grounds. For example, in the case of Gerry Cottle’s Circus Limited v City of Edinburgh District Council 1990, the court ruled in favour of the petitioner, Gerry Cottle’s Circus Limited, after Edinburgh District Council refused to grant the circus a temporary public entertainment licence. In his ruling, Lord Dervaird concluded: “That it does not lie within the powers of the district council as licensing authority to use those powers to refuse a licence for public entertainment involving performing animals on the sole ground that the council considers the whole concept of animals performing in circuses to be wrong

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/264109.stm

Former circus impresario Gerry Cottle has accepted the changing fashion by abandoning touring circuses.

He says he is adapting to the marketplace and has not used animals for six years. Instead he now concentrates on travelling theme-parks.

His Circus of Horrors uses bizarre and sexually explicit material which may not be to everyone's taste. However, he believes the audience demand is complex.

"In London the public do not want to see circuses with animals. But in the country they do. Even with our radical Circus of Horrors we still get people saying it is not the same and asking where the elephants are," he said.

-- Follow these three steps to fill out this form: -->

In the mid to late 1800s, a "tintype" was made of an Iron County, Missouri woman who was a religious advocate and extremely active member of her rural community. Making an annual pilgrimage to Hopewell Cemetary, she led volunteers in cleaning and decorating the graves of deceased local citizens , family members, and fallen military heroes. There were several versions of the "Tintype" style of photographs and, eventually, one of them somehow wound up in the hands of a contemporary artist. How he acquired the image is not precisely known but we do know that it was without the consent of any appropriate family member. Consequently, this artist copied and enlarged the image , hand painting it, framing is in a fashion befitting a masterpiece, and claimed it as his own work, entitled: "The Woman By The Water Well". It is believed that he was motivated by his fascination with the biblical reference to Jesus meeting a "Woman at the Well'.

The current whereabouts of the work is, today, unknown. It did hand, for a time, in various galleries, the most notable being one in New York. Descendants of the family have long searched for the larger version, in hopes of reuniting it with the family.

Sources

edit

References can be found in the Smithsonian Archives, as well as illustrated catalogues in the older New York Galleries, stemming from the turn of the century. Hammer Galleries, in New York City, lists a description of the work, as well as a smaller version of the image. Screentech International, in St. Petersburg, Florida has another in the series of "TinType" style photos, one that was hand colored, nearly a hundred years ago.

John Hinde

Early Life In 1916, Hinde was born in the town of Street in Somerset, England, in a close-knit Quaker community. He stuck to his Quaker values during the war by becoming a photographer for the civil defense forces instead of a soldier. Some of his photography was published in color magazines and books, such as Of Cabbages and Kings, Citizens of War, and British Circus Life. His interest in photography would lead him to become an important pioneer in color photographs.

The Circus Hinde briefly switched professions when he became a circus publicity manager in 1944. Here, he met his wife Antoina Falnoga, a trapeze artist who was part of the circus. In 1954, he and Antoina started their own traveling circus company in Ireland named “The John Hinde Show.” This venture quickly failed however and Hinde quit the circus business in 1956. He returned to his life as a photographer, and that same year, he founded John Hinde Ltd in Dublin.

Ireland Photography While traveling with the circus for twelve years, and in the years after, he began to take color photographs of the Irish countryside. During this time, Ireland was becoming a popular destination for tourists. Black and white postcards were favored because it was felt that this method could better capture the romantic landscape of Ireland. Hinde, a color photographer, tried to find a way in which he could achieve the same or better effect with the addition of color, something that would set his pictures apart from all the others. He hoped to capture the vividness of the Irish countryside, as well as the imagination of his audience. With much thought, he came up with a method that blended Irish stereotypes (donkeys, red-headed children, etc) and the lush, seemingly endless, landscape with bright colors. Hinde would sometimes enhance colors in his studio to get a desired effect. He was well known for setting up, or changing a scene so that it would fit his strict style. If he found something unpleasant or out of place in his pictures, he could simply cover it up or move it to get the best shot. So common was this practice that he kept a saw in the back of his car so that, if there happened to be an unsightly object in the view of his camera, he would chop down a nearby rhododendron bush and use it to conceal the eyesore. Needless to say, many rhododendron bushes appear in Hinde's Ireland postcards. This series of photographs was a huge success, not only with tourists, but also with the Irish people who enjoyed being reminded of the vibrant environment in which they lived.

Butlin's Holiday Camps From the late 1960's to the early 1970's, Hinde worked on his most widely known production: the Butlin Holiday Camps postcards. Billy Butlin had founded the camps as a place for working class people to go for vacation, complete with high excitement and low cost. Butlin hired Hinde to produce postcards that reflected the spirited and enjoyable environment found at his camps. By this time, Hinde worked more as an art director than an actual photographer, so he hired two German photographers, Elmar Ludwig and Edmund Nägele, and one British photographer, David Noble. They traveled to the different camps and set up the necessary lights and photography equipment, often taking a whole day to make them just right. Hinde's pictures portrayed vacationers taking advantage of all of the things Butlin's had to offer, having a grand old time in the process. The photographers used large format cameras and Ektachrome film to capture the optimistic tone that Bultin was looking for. Scenes from the postcards included people eating in lavishly decorated dining halls, large indoor swimming pools, themed bars, and amusement park rides. Actual vacationers were used in the shots, but like the Ireland pictures, the sets were often added to in order to capture the energetic feeling of the setting. Hinde would often enhance certain colors later on so that the end result would be a lively, idealistic view of a Butlin vacation. The combination of the images of a fun-filled family vacation and the vivacious color produced a nostalgic portrait for the masses.

Later Life Hinde's postcards were immensely popular, despite Hinde's view that the photographs held no artistic value. In 1972, he decided to sell his company to the Waterford Glass Group in order to pursue his love of landscape painting. Even though Hinde never viewed his photographs with much reverence, the Irish Museum of Modern Art recognized his photographic works with a retrospective in Dublin in 1993. Since his death in 1998, exhibits of his photography have traveled all over the world and he proved to be the most successful postcard producer in the world. His works have also been complied into books, including Our Intent Is All For Your Delight, the collection of the Bultin postcards.

The Sunset Center

Introduction

The Sunset Center is located in Carmel, California. It has been open now for the past seven decades and has been a source of entertainment for the whole Monterey Bay. Before its present state as the Sunset Community and Cultural Center, the Sunset Center used to be a school. In 1964, the city of Carmel bought the Sunset School complex and renamed it. The school's auditorium was named the Sunset Theater. This purchase proved the Sunset Theater's value as a cultural asset. Throughout the years, the theater has rewarded the city's faith in its future by providing Carmel with a performance hall where many world renowned artists have appeared. Even though a lot of well known performers have entertained at the Sunset Theater, it has also been a place for local meetings and plays.

History

The school was built in 1931 and with its arches and high-peaked roof, it had a distinctive look. The assembly hall was the biggest in the area at the time as it could seat over 700. The whole complex itself covers two city blocks. The auditorium soon became a performing arts venue for all of the Monterey Bay, and the cultural heart of Carmel.

For about forty years, the Sunset Theater was a home to symphonies, chamber musicians, singers, actors, and dancers. In the early 1990's, the theater was well past its prime. For decades, people had to overlook the auditorium's poor acoustics and sight lines as well as the inconvenient, remote restrooms. It became hard for the performers to perform on the small stage and it could not comfortably hold a complete, modern orchestra.

In order to assert the problem of a facility that was ill-equipped for the 21st century, a public/private partnership was formed in the early 1990's. The sole objective was to modernize and renovate the Sunset Theater. The Sunset Center for the Arts, a nonprofit corporation, raised $13.4 million in private donations from several foundations and nearly 1,200 individuals. The city of Carmel, as the public partner, even sold bonds to provide the balance of the $21.4 million needed for renovation. As the 21st century approached, the new design for the renovating, rather than rebuilding, the Sunset Theater was approved. The construction project began in September of 2001. In July 2003, less than two years after the start of the project and with the renovation and restoration complete, the Sunset Theater reopened. To start the opening, the long-standing annual music event in Carmel, the Bach Festival, was held. The first Carmel Bach Festival began in 1935. The event was a festival of concerts held in the Sunset School Auditorium and the Carmel Mission Basilica. The founders were able to make the festival an annual event with the exception of the three year gap during World War II. The Bach Festival goes on for four weeks, beginning in late July, and celebrates Johann Sebastian Bach; works by other composers are also included to reflect Bach's influence. After leading the first orchestra rehearsal in the new theater, Bruno Weil, music director of the Carmel Bach Festival, declared, “It's a miracle, the acoustics are unbelievable!”

The Gothic-inspired arches of the auditorium ceiling, previously a nightmare for acoustics, had been transformed into acoustically transparent, perforated-metal ribs, while the enlarged stage area and archs could now accommodate a full orchestra and chorus for Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The once school auditorium, could again serve as a cherished live-performance venue worthy to be called a regional performing arts center.

Today

Since the reopening, the Sunset Center still continues to host more than 50 classical music performances each year. It has welcomed artists as varied as Wynton Marsalis and his jazz ensemble, Lyle Lovett and the Capitol Steps musical comedy troupe to its stage. In addition, audiences applauded the return of Jose Carreras, who made his North American recital debut at the Sunset Theater in 1975. Also the Vienna Choir Boys, who performed originally at the opening of the Sunset Theater in 1932.

Every year, the Sunset Center brings in music, dance, theater, and live entertainment from around the world to the people of the Monterey Bay area and beyond. Today, the Sunset Center has confirmed its place as the cultural heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

History

edit

The Chautauqua (shuh-TAH-kwuh) Literary and Scientific Circle established its Pacific Coast branch in Pacific Grove in 1879. A two-week Chautauqua assembly was held here every summer, featuring lessons, exhibits, lectures, picnics, and concerts. Over the years several members felt the need to have a storeroom and exhibition site for the natural specimens collected. A resolution was made in 1881 to have this accomplished. In 1883 a petition calling for this building was signed by Professor H. B. Norton, Dr. J. H. Wyeth, Dr. C. L. Anderson, Miss Lucy M. Washburn, Miss Mary E. B. Norton, and Professor Josiah Keep. The petition was sent to F. S. Douty, secretary of the Pacific Improvement Company, and a small wooden octagonal building located on Grand Avenue became the new Chautauqua Museum's first home in what is now Jewell Park, across from the museum's current site.

Since the Chautauqua institution was a college, its faculty and students collected many specimens from the surrounding countryside and brought them to the Chautauqua Museum to be exhibited. The first important specimen collections were of shells, sea mosses, evergreen cones, and other land plants. These collections continued to expand as Pacific Grove's population grew. The museum eventually grew large enough that its own management was needed. In 1899 the museum began to be organized, largely by Miss Norton. The Chautauqua donated the museum building and its 2100 specimens to the new organization in July 1900. This organization became the Pacific Grove Museum Association in November 1900. Thomas W. Cowan was its president; Miss Norton, curator; B. A. Eardley, secretary and treasurer; and E. B. Lewis, recording secretary.

The association devoted itself to developing the museum, presenting winter lectures to members for free, and a spring exhibition of natural history and local art. This event was, according to a June 1901 newspaper, a great success: “The beautiful in art and nature and the rare and curious in natural history were well represented at the exhibit of the Pacific Grove Museum Association. . . . The dingy old structure has been skillfully decorated . . . and converted into a most charming and inviting spot.”

In 1902, through the influence of Miss Kate Coffin, the Pacific Improvement Company presented the association with the half-block of land where the modern museum stands, along with the buildings which already stood there. These buildings were remodeled into one larger building and the original octagonal building was moved across the street to join this new building. The association now had plenty of room for study, work, and storage, as well as outdoor space to be preserved for its native plants.

By 1904 the museum had started to receive animal specimens. In 1909 the membership of the association numbered about eighty people. However, the museum was poor during this time, getting by from small membership dues, few donations, the selling of some plants, and the giving of entertainments. Many of the museum's specimens were sold to San Francisco shortly after its famous 1906 earthquake. Finally it was decided that the museum would have to be supported by the City of Pacific Grove. The City's ownership of the museum came about in 1917.

Dr. Ann Lukens donated $5,000 to the museum because of her friendship with Miss Coffin, but the museum's greatest donation was through Pacific Grove citizen Mrs. Lucy Chase. A $14,000 new museum building was constructed in 1932 on its current site. The majority of the money needed for this project was donated by Chase, and the building was opened to the public on December 21, 1932, her ninetieth birthday.

In 1933, some items that would be known as “curios” today began to be removed from the museum in an effort to devote it solely to natural history. The American Association of Museums referred to the museum as the “best of its size in the United States” in 1935. The Pacific Grove Museum Association became the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History Association in 1967 and is now also associated with the Point Pinos Lighthouse and the Monarch Grove Sanctuary.

Attractions

edit

== Permanent exhibits ==

The museum houses many permanent exhibits. The main room of the “old wing” created in 1932 is dominated by a display of 409 life-mounted birds representing 291 bird species found in Monterey County. Many of these specimens were mounted by ornithologist and taxidermist Rollo H. Beck. In the center of the room is a formerly mobile trilingual exhibit about the unusual and endangered Monarch Butterflies that winter in Pacific Grove each year. Adjacent rooms contain Native American artifacts, about half of which are from Monterey County (the Ohlone, Salinan, and Esselen tribes) and marine mammal artifacts, photographs, and recorded sounds. The second floor contains smaller exhibits about geology, paleontology, mineralogy, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and mollusks. Below the insect exhibit is the Children's Touch Gallery, on the first floor of the new wing, which contains various hands-on specimens. Located outside of the museum is a native plant garden, which is open all year. Featured are local trees, bushes and wildflowers (when in season).

== Temporary exhibits ==

The largest room in the new wing is reserved for the various temporary exhibits put on by the museum. These exhibits last from two to six months and vary greatly in subject matter. These exhibits are very often photo galleries. Examples of exhibits include galleries featuring bears, Antarctica, the California Condor, and the Sea of Cortez.

The annual Wildflower Show, organized by the Monterey Bay Chapter of the California Native Plant Society, began in 1962. It is the only temporary exhibit that lasts for only one weekend per year. The spring exhibit displays more than seven hundred Monterey County wildflower species.

== Other features ==

The Museum Gift Shop is volunteer-run by the Museum Association. The store features varied merchandise, such as books, clothing, toys, and Monterey County stones and fossils. There is a large polished boulder of Monterey County jade in the front lobby. It is displayed so that hands-on contact with the huge stone is safe for visitors. Outside of the museum is “Sandy,” a life-size sculpture of an adult female Gray Whale. It is considered by many Pacific Grove residents the most popular “exhibit” for younger visitors, as children can often be seen climbing on the whale.

Education

edit

The museum provides an on-site education program in which Monterey County schools can schedule field trips to the museum for free, with or without an informational talk from one of the museum staff. There is also an education outreach program if teachers would prefer in-class instruction to a field trip. In these cases, a staff member will come to the school in question at a previously scheduled time, give a lecture about a chosen topic (such as marine mammals or Native Americans), and provide hands-on artifacts from the museum's teaching collection for the students to handle.

Point Sur Lighthouse

edit

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

Point Sur Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on Point Sur, California, 135 miles south of San Francisco. The light is still an active aid to navigation and is open to the public.

History:

Point Sur began to have significant amounts offshore traffic beginning around 1849, the time of the Gold Rush. This caused an increased number of shipwrecks in that area. One shipwreck in particular, that of the Ventura, influenced funding for the construction of the lighthouse. The captain of The Ventura was drunk, hitting a group of rocks just north of Point Sur, and many people died. The United States Lighthouse Board stated in 1874 that “Point Sur is the most important point and should be the site of a lighthouse. In considering the various points on the California coast where lighthouses are still required Point Sur claims the place of greatest importance. Again, in 1885, the board stated that “this dangerous point, which is still unlighted, is made subject of much complaint.” Finally, in 1886, after 11 years of petitioning, Congress allocated $50,000 to construct a lighthouse and another $50,000 the next year. The labor force consisted of 25 men. After building a road to the mainland, quarrying stone, and blasting a trail to the top of the rock, laborers began the construction of a tramway. By the end of the first year, all the rock had been quarried, and construction of many buildings was well underway. The Lighthouse Board hoped the construction would be completed by the end of 1888. However, an additional $10,000 was needed, and the lightstation was not completed until August 1, 1889. When the keepers and their families came to Point Sur to live, they built a barn to house their cow and horse. Life on Point Sur was very isolated because there was only one road to Monterey, and it was long and often dangerous. The keepers would receive goods and bulk supplies on a “lighthouse tender” boat roughly every four months. A ship brought the supplies over, then skiffs brought them closer to shore, and they were finally floated to land in barrels. The first families that lived in the lighthouse were cared for by Doctor Roberts, who, in addition to being a doctor, played an instrumental part in petitioning for the construction of Highway 1. As road construction advanced, life on the Point Sur became less isolated. The light was automated by the United States Coast Guard in 1972. The lens was loaned to the Maritime Museum of Monterey where it is currently on exhibit. In 2004, the Point Sur Lighthouse was officially transferred from the Coast Guard to California State Parks.

The Light:

The Lighthouse has had four different light sources thought its history. First, it had an oil wick lamp, followed by an oil vapor lamp, and then two different kinds of electric lights. Three different fuels, whale oil, lard oil, and kerosene, were used while the oil lamps were in use. In order to concentrate the light and send it in one direction out to sea, the Lighthouse used a first-order Fresnel lens. The lens was almost 9 feet tall and weighs 4,330 pounds. The entire structure, including the pedestal and clockworks was 18 feet tall and weighed 9,570 pounds.

Foghorns:

In dense fog, where the light from the lighthouse may not be visible, Point Sur lighthouse used a foghorn to alert ships. Originally, a coal powered fog horn was used, but this labor-intensive system was replaced as soon as better technology was available. In 1972, the “Super Tyfon Double Fog Signal,” named after the giant Typhon from Greek mythology, was put into use. This system consisted of two compressed air horns sounding simultaneously, and could be heard up to three nautical miles from Point Sur. The modern electric tone fog signal was a 12 volt high frequency fog signal with a sound range of half a nautical mile. The high frequency was very effective in fog.

Structures:

Since the lighthouse keepers and their families lived in total isolation, the seven main buildings helped them to be self sustaining. First built was the cistern, which originally held 53,000 gallons of water, pumped from a well in the sand flats at the base of the rocks. It was later replaced by a water tower. There was also a pumphouse nearby. For housing was the assistant keepers' dwelling, which housed three of the keepers and their families in separate quarters, and the head keeper's dwelling. Livestock for food and transportation was kept in the barn, and the top floor was used for storage. The carpenter and blacksmith shop held supplies for the keepers to do their own construction, since Monterey was a full day's trip away until the 1930's. Finally, the lighthouse was 40 feet tall and 270 feet above sea level. The lamp tower, oil room, and fog signal room were all combined into one building because of limited space.

Today:

Point Sur is the only complete turn-of-the-century lightstation open to the public in California, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The lightstation is part of Point Sur State Historic Park. There are now three-hour walking tours guided by volunteers available year round.

Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, as know as CHOMP, was founded in 1934 and is located 23625 Holman Highway in Monterey, California. The hospital has 176 acute care beds and 28 skilled-nursing beds. CHOMP has 15 locations including the main hospital, outpatient facilities, satellite laboratories, a mental health clinic, a short-term skilled nursing facility, Hospice of the Central Coast, and business offices, these ___location help in serving the Monterey Peninsula.

History of CHOMP

CHOMP was founded my Grace Deere Velie Harris in 1934. The hospital was a 30- bed general hospital named Peninsula Community Hospital. In the 1950's Samuel F.B Morse donated 22 acres to the hospital for expansion. In 1961 the hospital receives its official name “Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.” On June 28th, 1962 the hospital opens and significant additions are added. The hospital now has 100 beds and is 210,000 square feet large. The large construction project costs the hospital $3.5 million. Edward Durell Stone, a world renowned architect, designs the hospital. 1971, another 72 rooms are added to the hospital and a large dome over the Fountain Court has finished construction. The project costs $4 million. In 1982 the former Eskaton Monterey Hospital becomes part of the Community Hospital.1983 another expansion project takes place and is complete, adding another 42, 000 square feet which houses outpatient, educational, and business office functions. In 1988 the hospital's Outpatient Surgery Center opens for the first time and allows the hospital to conduct more surgeries. The Community Hospital expands the Rehabilitation Services department in 1991. The Community Hospital opens the Family Birth Center in 1996, bringing single-room maternity care. The Community Hospital's Breast Care Center starts service on Cass Street in Monterey.

A three-story underground parking area with 316 parking spaces is complete in June 2003 under the main entrance of the hospital. 2004, CHOMP begins planning and prepares for two new areas of the hospital call the Forest Pavilion and the South Pavilion. The Forest Pavilion will be adding 120 new rooms for patients. The South Pavilion will bring in an additional 135,000 square feet for critical-care departments and services that are related. The Ryan Ranch Outpatient Campus opened in July 2004. This subunit of the main hospital specializes in sleep disorders, diabetes and nutrition therapy. The South Pavilion opens in October 2006, which includes and Emergency Department, eight new operating suites for patients, and a new ICU center.

The hospital was furnished using a method and style called Feng Shui (is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. The literal translation is "wind-water").

The hospital offers a variety of specialized treatments and doctors who specialize in these areas, which include (not a complete list):

• Anesthesiology • Cardiology • Cardiovascular Disease • Dentistry • Dermatology • Genetics • Hematology • Neurology • Pediatrics

In addition to inpatient medical and surgical specialties, Community Hospital offers a wide range of healthcare services. The list below is not a complete list of conditions they treat. • Breast disease • Bone and joint conditions • Cancer • Diabetes • Heart disease • Mental health conditions • Obesity • Pregnancy • Sleep disorders • Substance abuse

John Hinde (photographer)

edit

Archived discussion follows below. Please do not modify it.

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

John Wilfrid Hinde (1916-1998) was an English photographer whose idealistic and nostalgic style influenced the art of postcard photography and was widely known for his meticulously planned shoots. Born in Somerset, England, his interest in color photography arose during the 1940s. From the later half of the 1940s to the middle half of the 1950s, he entered the circus life, where he met his future wife. However, he soon returned to photography and, in 1956, he left the circus and founded John Hinde Ltd. in Dublin to produce and distribute his color pictures of Ireland. Hinde's most famous work is that of the Bultin's Holiday Camps, in which he portrayed a welcoming and jubilant environment. In 1972, he sold his company in order to pursue his love of painting. The Irish Museum of Modern art recognized his work with a retrospective in Dublin in 1993. In 1998, Hinde died in Dordogne, France. At the time of his death, millions of his postcards had been sold worldwide. Early Life In 1916, Hinde was born in the town of Street in Somerset, England, in a close-knit Quaker community. He stuck to his Quaker values during the war by becoming a photographer for the civil defense forces instead of a soldier. Some of his photography was published in color magazines and books, such as Of Cabbages and Kings, Citizens of War, and British Circus Life. His interest in photography would lead him to become an important pioneer in color photographs.

The Circus Hinde briefly switched professions when he became a circus publicity manager in 1944. Here, he met his wife Antoina Falnoga, a trapeze artist who was part of the circus. In 1954, he and Antoina started their own traveling circus company in Ireland named “The John Hinde Show.” This venture quickly failed however and Hinde quit the circus business in 1956. He returned to his life as a photographer, and that same year, he founded John Hinde Ltd in Dublin.

Ireland Photography While traveling with the circus for twelve years, and in the years after, he began to take color photographs of the Irish countryside. During this time, Ireland was becoming a popular destination for tourists. Black and white postcards were favored because it was felt that this method could better capture the romantic landscape of Ireland. Hinde, a color photographer, tried to find a way in which he could achieve the same or better effect with the addition of color, something that would set his pictures apart from all the others. He hoped to capture the vividness of the Irish countryside, as well as the imagination of his audience. With much thought, he came up with a method that blended Irish stereotypes (donkeys, red-headed children, etc) and the lush, seemingly endless, landscape with bright colors. Hinde would sometimes enhance colors in his studio to get a desired effect. He was well known for setting up, or changing a scene so that it would fit his strict style. If he found something unpleasant or out of place in his pictures, he could simply cover it up or move it to get the best shot. So common was this practice that he kept a saw in the back of his car so that, if there happened to be an unsightly object in the view of his camera, he would chop down a nearby rhododendron bush and use it to conceal the eyesore. Needless to say, many rhododendron bushes appear in Hinde's Ireland postcards. This series of photographs was a huge success, not only with tourists, but also with the Irish people who enjoyed being reminded of the vibrant environment in which they lived. Butlin's Holiday Camps From the late 1960's to the early 1970's, Hinde worked on his most widely known production: the Butlin Holiday Camps postcards. Billy Butlin had founded the camps as a place for working class people to go for vacation, complete with high excitement and low cost. Butlin hired Hinde to produce postcards that reflected the spirited and enjoyable environment found at his camps. By this time, Hinde worked more as an art director than an actual photographer, so he hired two German photographers, Elmar Ludwig and Edmund Nägele, and one British photographer, David Noble. They traveled to the different camps and set up the necessary lights and photography equipment, often taking a whole day to make them just right. Hinde's pictures portrayed vacationers taking advantage of all of the things Butlin's had to offer, having a grand old time in the process. The photographers used large format cameras and Ektachrome film to capture the optimistic tone that Bultin was looking for. Scenes from the postcards included people eating in lavishly decorated dining halls, large indoor swimming pools, themed bars, and amusement park rides. Actual vacationers were used in the shots, but like the Ireland pictures, the sets were often added to in order to capture the energetic feeling of the setting. Hinde would often enhance certain colors later on so that the end result would be a lively, idealistic view of a Butlin vacation. The combination of the images of a fun-filled family vacation and the vivacious color produced a nostalgic portrait for the masses.

Later Life Hinde's postcards were immensely popular, despite Hinde's view that the photographs held no artistic value. In 1972, he decided to sell his company to the Waterford Glass Group in order to pursue his love of landscape painting. Even though Hinde never viewed his photographs with much reverence, the Irish Museum of Modern Art recognized his photographic works with a retrospective in Dublin in 1993. Since his death in 1998, exhibits of his photography have traveled all over the world and he proved to be the most successful postcard producer in the world. His works have also been complied into books, including Our Intent Is All For Your Delight, the collection of the Bultin postcards.

Intro

edit

The SPCA of Monterey County is a non-profit organization that has served the Monterey County area for over one hundred years. Since its establishment in 1905 the organization has provided shelter for abandoned, stray and orphaned animals, medical service for injured animals, and educational programs for people of all ages. It offers adoptions and has a low cost spay and neuter clinic as well as other services. There are many collaborative fund raisers and programs that the organization participates in, in addition to wildlife conservation efforts. Like any other non-profit organization, the SPCA relies heavily on not only financial donations but also on volunteers donating their time to various jobs – from clerical or bookkeeping services to odd jobs on the 218 acre grounds.

History

edit

]At the time of its founding in 1905 the main focus of the SPCA of Monterey County was to address the issue of "stray dogs and cats about town." Additionally the organization looked to discuss the "different diseases prevalent among horses" and "investigate the abuse and fast driving of donkeys and horses."

The ___location of the first meeting to establish the SPCA was the Methodist-Episcopal Church on Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove. The organization continued to operate after the church was torn down in 1963 and went on to become a safe haven for neglected and abused pets and injured and/or orphaned wildlife. According to one of the local newspapers, the SPCA shelter in its early years was a home for “833 dogs, 1050 cats, a horse, 5 cows, a bull, 4 goats, 13 rabbits, 23 chickens, 3 ducks, 5 deer, a pigeon, a coyote, 2 raccoons, an opossum, 3 white rats, a pheasant, a pelican, 2 seagulls, a parrot, a canary, a squirrel and a snake.”

In looking at The SPCA's history it should be noted that the goals of the organization have remained the same for more than 100 years. And although the number of animals and complexities of managing the shelter have increased dramatically, the goals of the shelter are much the same as they were in 1963.

Services

edit

Spay and Neuter Clinic

edit

The SPCA provides a low cost spay and neuter clinic which provides not only spaying and neutering but also operations such as rabbis' vaccinations and microchip implantations. The spay and neuter clinic was created by the organization in an attempt to reduce animal fights, stray animal population and spread of disease in the community.

Pet Adoptions

edit

Animals at the shelter that are considered to be suitable as pets are put up by the organization for adoption. In order for an animal to put up for adoption, the must meet health criteria and pass temperament tests, which are carried out be the organization's own staff of behavior evaluators. ? Funds and Programs

Collaborations

edit

PetMeals Program for People & Pets.??In collaboration with the local Meals On Wheels organization, the SPCA of Monterey County runs a program which lifts the financial burden of providing food for pets for people who are physically impaired or on a fixed income. Volunteers deliver pet food provided by the SPCA and its supporters in addition to the standard food delivery. The program relieves the concern that people who receive food from Meals On Wheels will not feel the need to share it with their pets. BestPet Care & Supplies in Pacific Grove, Harden Ranch Veterinary Hospital in Salinas and The Feed Trough in Salinas also help to support this program. ??Volunteers are needed on a weekly basis to help label and prepare the pet food for delivery. Donations to help purchase the pet diets as specified by the meal recipients may be sent to The SPCA's “Pet Meals Delivery Fund.”

American Red Cross

edit

When flooding in Monterey County left people and their pets homeless in 1995, The SPCA was asked by emergency American Red Cross shelters to help with the hundreds of evacuating pets. The SPCA has provided housing, rescue, and medical services for displaced and stranded animals. In this instance they were able to set-up temporary animal shelters as well as care for evacuating pets just outside of the emergency shelters so people could safely evacuate, with their pets, without worry. This was the first time a collaboration of this kind had been attempted in the United States and it has now become the model for many other animal protection organizations.

Salvation Army

edit

Every holiday season, The SPCA gathers pet food, supplies, and toys for individuals and families in need who have pets. The donations are then distributed by the Salvation Army. Many needy families in the community are pet owners who love their pets but are having a difficult time providing food for their families. The partnership assures food for the whole family during the holiday season and reduces the risk of families being forced to give up their pets because they can't afford to feed them. ?

Shelter Outreach Plus

edit

Health Department regulations prevent human service agencies from allowing pets in homeless shelters. Unfortunately this prohibition can prevent people in need of services, who also happen to own pets, from receiving needed temporary shelter. In response to this need, The SPCA provided dog houses and material to construct dog runs to Shelter Outreach Plus so their homeless clients can comfortably utilize their services without worry about their pets.

Research and Conservation

edit

== Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation

==

The SPCA Wildlife Center is the only full service wildlife rehabilitation center serving Monterey County. Each year, The SPCA Wildlife Center admits over 2,000 animals for treatment and care. The species of animals received ranges from large animals such as mountain lions, bobcats, deer, opossums, hawks, owls, and pelicans, to small animals, including squirrels, turtles, hummingbirds, swallows, and more. Serving the entire Monterey County area, the Wildlife Center provides a resource for people who encounter wildlife in need while also providing care for exotic pet animals that are lost or surrendered to The SPCA. In addition to receiving animals brought in by the public, Wildlife Center staff members are on call 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to respond to wildlife emergencies and provide transport and care to animals in distress. The Wildlife Center functions in part as an emergency hospital for animals that are sick or injured. Common problems include wildlife hit by cars, birds caught by cats or baby birds that have fallen from nests. The Wildlife Center also acts as a nursery for the hundreds of nestling birds and neonatal mammals orphaned each spring. Many wild animals are orphaned as a result of human activities such as spring tree trimming or unnecessary rescue. While the Wildlife Center has a team of dedicated and highly trained staff, its accomplishments would not be possible without the many volunteers who donate their time each week.

Ventana Wilderness Sanctuary

edit

Working to reintroduce the California Condor to the wild, the Ventana Wilderness Society (VWS) approached The SPCA with an interesting dilemma: condors needing medical treatment had to endure a four-hour round trip between the mountains of Big Sur and the offices of local wildlife specialist Dr. Mike Murray of the Avian & Exotic Clinic in Monterey. (Dr. Murray generously donates his services to both VWS and The SPCA's Wildlife Center.) ??Since The SPCA is privileged to reside on over 200 pristine acres of Monterey County habitat, they can provide a small and very secluded area for recovering condors and VWS staff. This area, complete with temporary housing provided by VWS, is a ten minute trip from needed veterinary medical services.

Education

edit

Hartnell College Animal Health Technology Program.The budget crises in California has had many ramifications for the people and pets of Monterey County. One that directly impacts The SPCA is the possible discontinuance of the Animal Health Technology (AHT) Program at Hartnell College. All veterinary practices in the community as well as The SPCA's Gwen May Spay/Neuter Clinic require Hartnell's skilled Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) graduates to continue delivering quality medical care for the animals. To assist during this time of uncertainty The SPCA opened its doors as a temporary home for the AHT program during the Spring 2004 semester while its current site is torn down and the future of the program is debated. AHT classes will be conducted in the SPCA Spay/Neuter Clinic & the George Whitell Education Center, with scheduling that ensures no decrease in SPCA programs or services.The SPCA is hopeful that this beginning collaboration will mature into a long-term, mutually beneficial, cost-effective program that provides great benefit to the residents and animals of our community.

== Animal Camp

==

The SPCA's week-long summer daycamp has offered children a unique mix of exciting and educational hands-on experiences. Animal Camp builds self-esteem and nurtures compassion in students by instilling in them a sense of stewardship and wonder for the world around them. Program topics include California's endangered species, animal habitats and behavior, and simple ways to protect the environment. A highlight each year is the tour of The SPCA's Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center to see how staff care for injured and orphaned animals. Attendees hear about animal-related jobs from professional guest speakers and have plenty of time for creative art and drama activities before receiving their graduation certificates.

The A-Bomb is an alcoholic drink that consists of Jagermeister,Sambuca and Tequila. The traditional method involves pouring a shot of Jagermeister into a shot glass, and dropping the shot glass into a glass consisting of a shot of Sambuca and Tequila, then chugging it as quickly as possible. The drink is the brain child of Brian Geraghty, of Dalhousie notoriety, among the first testers were Tom Small and Alan "The Book" Brehany. The A-Bomb has starting making waves within the past few months and is one of the most lethal drinks at bars and pubs across the island of Ireland.

Texan native Andre Espaillat couldn't have picked a more macho sport. In 1983, he joined the motorcycle road racing circuit, a pursuit typically accompanied by lots of beer, bikini-clad women and "testosterone-charged hot sweaty men in leather." He started competing internationally in 1996.

Espaillat's story is exceptional because he was already "out" when he began competing — something that helped "prove to others that we're normal people in everyday life."

Espaillat, who retired in 2002 at 47, competed with a rainbow gay-pride flag on his bike and has a personalized licence plate that reads "WFF" — an unabashed nod to the moniker bestowed on him by fellow racers: "World's Fastest Faggot."

"On my way up the racing ladder, I tried to disprove the common misconception that gay men are sibilant, passive, effeminate people who'd never get involved in a dangerous and aggressive sport," says Espaillat, who now lives with his partner in Dallas.

Was he successful?

Earlier this year, when Espaillat posted on a local Internet message board asking for others' views on gays in sports, he got a pleasant surprise.

A former motorbike buddy, a straight man who never made a secret of his politically and socially conservative views, wrote back: "I am glad you are involved in our sport, not because you are gay or straight but because you are a good man, honest and trustworthy, and our sport needs that. I will ride with you anytime."

Biological second-harmonic imaging microscopy

edit

One or more Articles For Creation have been reviewed. Archived discussion follows below. Please do not modify it.

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text.

Second-harmonic imaging microscopy (SHIM) is based on a nonlinear optical effect known as second-harmonic generation (SHG). SHIM has been established as a viable microscope imaging contrast mechanism for visualization of cell and tissue structure and function. A second harmonic microscope obtains contrasts from variations in a specimen’s ability to generate second harmonic light from the incident light while a conventional optical microscope obtains its contrast by detecting variations in optical density, path length, or refractive index of the specimen. SHG requires intense laser light passing through a material with a noncentrosymmetric molecular structure. Second-harmonic light emerging from a SHG material is exactly half the wavelength (frequency doubled) of the light entering the material. While two-photon-excited fluorescence (TPEF) is also a two photon process, TPEF loses some energy during the relaxation of the excited state, and SHG is energy conserving. Typically, an inorganic crystal is used to produce SHG light such as lithium niobate (LiNbO3), potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP = KTiOPO4), and lithium triborate (LBO = LiB3O5). Though SHG requires a material to have specific molecular orientation in order for the incident light to be frequency doubled, some biological materials can be highly polarizable, and assemble into fairly ordered, large noncentrosymmetric structures. Biological materials such as collagen, microtubules, and muscle myosin can produce SHG signals. The SHG pattern is mainly determined by the phase matching condition. A common setup for an SHG imaging system will have a laser scanning microscope with a titanium sapphire mode-locked laser as the excitation source. The SHG signal is propagated in the forward direction. However, some experiments have shown that objects on the order of about a tenth of the wavelength of the SHG produced signal will produce nearly equal forward and backward signals.

Advantages

SHIM offers several advantages for live cell and tissue imaging. SHG doesn’t involve the excitation of molecules like other techniques such as fluorescence microscopy therefore, the molecules shouldn’t suffer the effects of phototoxicity or photobleaching. Also, since many biological structures produce strong SHG signals, the labeling of molecules with exogenous probes is not required which can also alter the way a biological system functions. By using near infrared wavelengths for the incident light, SHIM has the ability to construct 3-D images of specimens by imaging deeper into thick tissues.

History

Before SHG was used for imaging, the first demonstration of SHG was done in 1962 by Kleinman on crystalline quartz. This then, SHG producing crystals have been used to frequency double lasers to obtain shorter wavelengths. In 1968, SHG from interfaces was discovered by Bloembergen and has since been used as a tool for characterizing surfaces and probing interface dynamics. In 1974, Hellwarth and Christensen first reported the integration of SHG and microscopy by imaging SHG signals from polycrystalline ZnSe. In 1977, Sheppard imaged various SHG crystals with a scanning optical microscope. The first biological imaging experiments were done by Freund in 1986 to study the orientation of collagen fibers in rat tail tendon. In 1993, Lewis examined the second harmonic response of delicious styryl dyes in electric fields. He also showed worked on imaging live cells.

Applications

SHG polarization anisotropy can be used to determine the orientation and degree of organization of proteins in tissues since SHG signals have well-defined polarizations. By using the anisotropy equation:

 ${\frac {I_{par}-I_{perp}}{I_{par}+2I_{perp}}}=r$

and acquiring the intensities of the polarizations in the parallel and perpendicular directions. A high r value indicates an anisotropic orientation where as a low r value indicates an isotropic structure. In work done by Campagnola and Loew, it was found that collagen fibers formed well-aligned structures with an r=0.7 value.

Ray Gooding ('Rockin' Ray)

Former Charlotte, N.C. AM radio personality 'Rockin' Ray Gooding passed away Sunday night May 13, 2007. For several decades Rockin Ray was the voice of Charlottes 'soul' and 'rock and roll' music. The Beach Music Association International's DJ award is named after him.

He began his career, in the 60's, at WGIV, 1610, the cities black formatted station, where station owner Francis Fitzgerald christened him with his handle, 'Rockin' Ray.

Because of his smooth voice, unique presentation style and skillful music selection, he soon gained a huge audience of not only black, but also white teens and college age youth.

In the 70's, 'Rockin' Ray broke the color barrier in Charlotte radio when, because of his huge following of not only blacks, but also whites, he was offered, and accepted a contract with WBT-AM, 1110, the areas free-air station. Because of WBT-AMs free-air status, 'Rockin' Rays shows, especially his "Sunday Night Hall Of Fame", could be heard along the east coast from Canada to Cuba.

Off the air, Ray Gooding commited his time to community service and raised money for many charities.

'Rockin' Ray Gooding wasn't just a local radio star, his music and his stylings were the soundtrack of a generation.
