However, with technological advancements permeating every aspect of our lives and lifestyles, the trend has shifted to more human-centred approaches, which take into account diverse disciplines, including the Arts. Hence, STEM has extended to include STEAM. Many successes have often been reported in various parts of the world with regards to STEAM, but less in Malaysia. The Malaysian Invention and Design Society (MINDS) views STEAM as a viable means for promoting STEM and Art, hence, the Art and Creativity (ACE) exhibition. ACE’s aims are two-pronged: to improve English proficiency and to further develop creativity. MINDS views English as a medium for communicating and expressing creativity, similar to how models and prototypes communicate and express Science concepts. In this second year of ACE, we held workshops for school teachers to encourage them and their students to explore creative possibilities in multiple ways. We are proud that these workshops were successful, with greater participation and improved quality of stories and illustrations from schools at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Parallel to ACE, the Malaysian Toray Foundation encourages and awards creative teaching of STEM every year. It is hoped that each community, Science and Arts, will contribute towards the development of creativity, its own discipline and STEM. As we celebrate Malaysia’s 59th Independence day and Malaysia Day, we ponder, what will the future hold for our younger generation? Will these initiatives help our students to become more creative scientists and innovators, more aware of diverse factors? We hope that parents, teachers and students themselves will see the difference. We have sown the seed for further growth in partnership with diverse stakeholders, i.e., teachers, students and industry sponsors. We thank them for their partnership and look towards greater heights and broader horizons. Thank you. Chairman of ACE2016 6 It was a fantastic day in the jungles of Malaysia.

The Clissold Arms has always been well known to the fans as the home of the Kinks, as it was the site of the first ever live performance by Ray and Dave Davies, so that was the obvious place to meet up. About a dozen of us had a very pleasant evening in the saloon (now the main restaurant - the layout of the pub in those days was somewhat different) discussing all matters Kinks and examining the small area of wall that contained a few pieces of Kinks memorabilia and photos, and it became a regular feature of the Konvention weekend for those who had travelled to London on the Saturday to gather at the Clissold. The Clissold Arms Kinks wall 1998 The numbers meeting gradually increased over the years and in 2002, Henny Stahli and the late Herman Gombert (“The Kinky Two”) were among our number. Herman got his guitar out and started strumming and the rest of us happily sang along to a few Kinks classics.

  • Blur Keith Allen, University of York [email protected]
    Blur Keith Allen, University of York [email protected] Forthcoming in Philosophical Studies. Please refer to the published version. Abstract: Consistent with the claim that visual experience is transparent, this paper proposes an ‘over-representational’ account of blurred visual experiences. The basic idea is that blurred experiences provide too much, inconsistent, information about objects’ spatial boundaries, by representing them as simultaneously located at multiple locations. This account aims to avoid problems with a variety of alternative accounts of blurred vision, which explain blur as property of the visual field, as a way of perceiving, as a form of mis-representation, and as a form of under-representation. 1. Blur and the Transparency of Experience When a short-sighted person removes their glasses things appear blurry. The experience is similar to looking with normal vision at an object close to your face whilst focussing on a point in the distance. What do these kinds of experience tell us about the nature of perception? Recently, a number of writers have argued that blurred visual experiences present a serious problem for the claim that visual experience is transparent, and hence for theories of perception that entail the transparency thesis.1 To say that experience is transparent is to make two claims, one positive and one negative. The positive claim is that we when reflect on our experiences we are aware of public mind- independent objects, their properties, and relations. The negative claim is that when we reflect on our experiences we are not aware of anything other than public mind- independent objects, their properties, and relations; in particular, we are not aware of properties of the experience itself.2 Blurred experiences do not present an immediate problem for the positive transparency thesis.

    1 “ON MERCER” Rediscovering The Genius of the American Songwriter, Johnny Mercer, Giant Of The Great American Songbook: [Up Close, Moving and Personal] by Frank Gagliano [email protected] ONE: MERCER RESTART My Johnny Mercer journey started — well, restarted — sometime in the 1990s, when I first read “Roses In The Morning,” browsing in a bookstore in Pittsburgh. This was the title of an essay in Gene Lees’s book, “Singers and The Song.” (Oxford Press, 1987). The title of the essay referred to songwriter Johnny Mercer’s ritual of sending a dozen roses in the morning to people Mercer had insulted the night before, when he was very drunk. What first attracted me to “Singers and The Song,” however, was the cover: The iconic Frank Driggs photo of a young, skinny Frank Sinatra, standing on a stage, in front of a 1940s vintage microphone, in the midst (probably) of singing one of his signature ballads, arms down and out from his sides, palms up, head tilted to his left shoulder, eyes shut tight, wearing a tailored double breasted grey pinstripe suit with floppy grey bow tie, in full spotlight, against a black background, with only a portion of the accompanying white piano catching part of Sinatra’s spotlight. Whatever that venue, one could almost hear the bobbysoxers in the audience, squealing and swooning. 2 In the bookstore, I thumbed through the Sinatra essay and saw, immediately, that the chapter dealt with the artistry of the singer, and how Sinatra had revived the public’s interest in America’s greatest popular songs, and how Sinatra had also revolutionized the art of singing those songs.

  • Why Latino History Matters to U.S. History
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 20 (2009) Why Latino History Matters to U.S. History Vicki L. RUIZ* Who are Latinos and why do their stories matter? Latinos represent the largest minority population in the United States, a diverse mosaic in terms of cultural background, generation (e.g. immigrant, U.S. born children of im- migrants, grandchildren of immigrants), and historical experience. The term Latino refers to all people of Latin American birth or heritage who live in the United States—from Hispanos in New Mexico, who can trace their roots in the Southwest back to the seventeenth century, to recent arrivals from Guate- mala. However, there has never existed a single mutually agreed on ethnic label. Latino and Hispanic are the most encompassing terms, but many prefer specifi c nationality-based identities, such as Mexicano or Mexican American (Mexican), Puertorriqueño (Puerto Rican), or Cubano (Cuban). Others prefer a distinctly regional identifi cation—Tejano is popular in Texas, while in New Mexico and Colorado, Hispano or Hispanic remains the preferred nomencla- ture.1 Of the 41.3 million Latinos in the United States, 64 percent are Mexican, 10 percent Puerto Rican, and 3 percent Cuban, representing over three-quar- ters of this growing population. Moreover, these three ethnicities have long histories in the United States, for Mexicans in the Southwest and Pacifi c Coast and for other Latinos in Florida and the Atlantic seaboard. It is crucial to understand these histories within and beyond the borders of the United States and to contextualize present and projected demographic realities with the pasts that preceded them.
