  • How to Build up Your Professional Wardrobe
    How to Build Up Your Professional Wardrobe Written by Cooke Scholar Emily Zaretzky Sometimes the question ‘What should I wear?’ weighs more heavily than others. For situations that surround your career, clothing is an important part in portraying yourself. With so many options of what to wear, how do you even start building a wardrobe that can help you during your career? Start with the basics. A two-piece pant or skirt-suit is the most essential basic for all genders; men should also have a nice tie or bowtie on hand as well. The classic jacket and pants combo provides a set that can be tailored for almost every business occasion; if the situation is more casual, the jacket doesn’t have to be worn. To pair with the suit, a few solid color blouses or button- downs should be added to provide more options. A pair of khakis or trousers can be added to provide even more versatility. A nice pair of stylish and comfortable dress shoes should be added to the mix. What makes these basic pieces essential is their ability to be worn in almost every occasion. It is important to buy basic pieces with great quality, fit, and color. The basics should be thought of as an investment; and remember, quality ensures that the pieces will last a long time and can be relied on. The fit should be appropriate; too tight and it can look unprofessional, but too big could look sloppy. Colors should be neutral. Blacks, navy blues, and greys are always good to have around because they can be paired with almost anything.

  • Helen Annie Benker Obst 1918 and 1920 Diaries of Helen Annie Benker Obst 1918 and 1920
    Diaries of Helen Annie Benker Obst 1918 and 1920 Diaries of Helen Annie Benker Obst 1918 and 1920 Helen Benker Obst Helen Annie Benker was born on February 21, 1898 to Hermann Franz Benker and Anna Hirsch Benker. Hermann came from Meerane of Saxony, Germany and Anna from Gera of Thuringia, Germany. Hermann’s and Anna’s fathers had both been weavers. No dates have been found when Hermann arrived in the US but he first went to St. Joseph, Missouri before moving to Lawrence for work as a weaver in the wool mills. Anna Hirsch at age 17 arrived with her family in New York on August 14, 1891 on the ship SS Taormina. She met Hermann Benker in Lawrence and they were married on March 11, 1897. Helen was baptized “Nellie”. When she started 1st grade in public school, the teacher told her that Nellie was a nickname and she had to choose between Helen and Ellen. Her parents told her it was her choice, so she named herself “Helen”. But many friends still thought of her as Nellie. She lived the first 11 years of her life at 66 Alston St. Lawrence, MA. Graduated from Allgemeine Deutsche Schule in 1910 In 1910, Helen’s parents built a 3 family house at 199 East Haverhill St. Lawrence. Helen was to spend the rest of her childhood and all of her married life there and died in her bed at this address. Graduated from John R Rollins grammar school in 1911 Graduated from Lawrence Evening High School in 1914.

  • Rethinking the Rhetoric of Remix Copies and Material Culture in Digital Networks
    Rethinking the Rhetoric of Remix Copies and Material Culture in Digital Networks Margaret Borschke M.A. University of Toronto, B.A. (Hons) McGill University A dissertation presented in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Journalism and Media Research University of New South Wales 2012 Abstract What roles do media technologies, artifacts, and users play in cultural change? This dissertation focuses on the shift from analog to digital media and concentrates on the role played by copies and replication in both systems of representation to identify and analyze material practices and rhetorical claims about their cultural influence. Specifically, it identifies and critiques the influence of recording formats qua copies in the history of three forms of composition in popular-music culture—remixes, disco edits, and MP3 blogs—to ask how something that is just the same can bring something new into being. I show that a focus on an artifact’s status as a copy—an object that can be said to be the same as other things—can illuminate our understanding of the cultural changes associated with digital and network technologies. By simultaneously identifying new cultural practices that are dependent on pure copying and resurrecting histories of media use, I critique the rhetoric of remix and participation as common tropes in digital discourse. This thesis examines the ways in which digital technologies were shaped by analog ones, as well as how and why analog formats persist in an era of digital networks. This exploration highlights the materiality of all media formats and shows how everyday users have played with and exploited material affordances over the past half- century.

  • Tanzania Custom Tour 2Nd – 19Th September, 2018
    Tanzania Custom tour 2nd – 19th September, 2018 Tour leader: Charley Hesse Report & photos Charley Hesse A tour to Tanzania provides most of what people people would expect of their ‘once in a lifetime’ safari experience, with endless Acacia strewn-savannas covered by huge herds of wildebeest, hunted by dangerous predators. Also, the iconic Ngorogoro Crater and the stunning backdrop of Mt Kilimanjaro. On this custom tour, in addition to this well-trodden but unmissable safari circuit of the north, we explored the East and West Usambara mountains and Pemba Island, with their range of fascinating endemics, Our tour started on the paradise island of Pemba, surrounded by crystal-clear, turquoise waters. Here we found all 4 of the island endemics, which bare its name, plus the handsome Mangrove Kingfisher. In the Usambara Mountains, we did remarkably well, sweeping through our list of targets, many baring the name Usambara, including Usambara Eagle-Owl, Thrush, Weaver, Hyliota & Akalat. Other targets we found were Spot-throat, Banded & Uluguru Violet-vacked Sunbirds plus Long-billed & African Tailorbirds. Arusha National Park on the slopes of Mt Meru gave us our first big mammals, with Buffalos, Giraffes & Zebras but also Grey Crowned Cranes and both species of flamingo. At the Engikaret Lark plains we found our target Beesley’s Lark, and at Tarangire NP, an almost overwhelming array of mammals and birds, including our first Leopard, Hyaena, plus countless raptors, hornbills, bustards… the list goes on. Our first view of the Ngorogoro crater left us breathless, and our exploration inside the crater the next day was fascinating.

It was 3:00pm on a sunny day, when we started our journey to the Pantanal. The 100km paved road from Cuiabá to Poconé gave us an idea of what was coming in terms of wildlife, especially birds. A Toco Toucan was flying by; a couple of Greater Rheas were grazing, and the sun set very quickly. We had a short stop in Poconé to use restrooms and to eat. From Poconé, we changed vehicles, now we were on an open safari vehicle in the hope of spotting any wildlife. Soon after our spotlight was on, a couple of Ccrab-eating Foxes were seen sitting calmly along the road. It was a good start! Many Yacare Caiman were seen when our spotlight was shining on their eyes in the water. Along the road, far in the distance a greenish eye moving in a peculiar way jumped out of the road, we could not see what it was, but soon another greenish eye crossed the road, and this was a feline, still too far to go into species, but certainly a small cat.
