Sofi was born in Dartmouth, NH and currently lives in Brooklyn. She works with text, drawings, books, found objects, video and other three-dimensional materials, often collaborating with other visual artists or writers. In addition to her own original content she will borrow, cite, or expand on other philosophical or artistic works, integrating them into a new context. She has been an artist-in residence at Jentel, Ucross and Bush Creek in Wyoming, the Millay Colony in NY, and the VCCA in Virginia. During her stay with us in Tannersville, she plans on working on a final edit of a new book, Worn, which is about clothing and deals with imperial, women’s labor and environmental histories. The Catskill Mountain Foundation’s Writers-In-Residence program invites a writer to come and live and work on Main Street in Tannersville. A residency can provide a rare and welcomed chance to leave behind all of one’s responsibilities in order to focus on one’s work for a specific (usually a month) period of time. The program is run by CMF Gallery Director, Robert Tomlinson, and will be, for the first 6 months, by invitation only.

Copyright, 1903, by EDWARD DAY COLLINS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PREFACE The charm of romance surrounds the discovery, explo- ration, and settlement of Vermont. The early records of the state offer an exceptional field for the study of social groups placed in altogether primitive and almost isolated conditions ; while in political organization this commonwealth illustrates the development of a truly organic unity. The state was for fourteen years an independent republic, prosperous and well administered. This book is an attempt to portray the conditions of life in this state since its discovery by white men, and to indicate what the essential features of its social, eco- nomic, and political development have been. It is an attempt, furthermore, to do this in such a way as to furnish those who are placed under legal requirement to give instruction in the history of the state an oppor- tunity to comply with the spirit as well as with the letter of the law. Instruction in state history rests on a perfectly sound pedagogical and historical basis. It only demands that the same facilities be afforded in the way of texts, biblio- graphical aids, and statistical data, as are demanded in any other field of historical work, and that the most approved methods of study and teaching be followed.

  • Ski Simulator of Igor Koshutin for Demonstrating and Helping the Novice Skiers/Racers to Learn the Essential Constituent Parts of Skiing
    Ski Simulator of Igor Koshutin For demonstrating and helping the novice skiers/racers to learn the essential constituent parts of skiing The invention relates to the field of sport, in particular to ski training simulators, particularly devices for exercises and slalom skills, as well as devices for entertainment. There are a number of known methods of teaching and training for skiers, snow-boarders and water- skiers out of real tracks, as well as devices that implemented such solutions. As an example, there is a well-known way of teaching and training of skiers implemented in a device (patent US 3524641 A63V 69/18, 1970), where turn movements are simulated by moving the skier’s feet left and right while standing on a platform, and the skier balances using poles planted on the floor or ground. One shortcoming of known method is the inadequacy of the feet and body movements to simulate conditions in terms of changing the direction of skis due to a technical solution with the only translatory/linear motion of the carrying element with the platform. Also, there are ways of teaching and training skiers implemented in devices, where a rotating platform with the supporting surface for feet, skis or snowboard moves plane-parallel left-right, rectilinearly (see US patent 5078389, A63V 69/18, 1992) or along arc on the supporting unit (see. US 69/3511499, A63V 18, 1965; FR 1486082, A63V 69/18, 1967) or along arc on the supporting unit made as a beam (NL 8702665, A63V 69/18, 1989; US 4 A63V 69/846463, 18, 1989).

  • Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers
    Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers By Bill Starr State Director of the Forest Fire Lookout Association Forest Fire Observer – Pillsbury Mountain © Copyright 2009 Unpublished Work Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers Table of Content: Introduction…………………………………1 The Roster…………………………………...2 List of the NYS Fire Towers….....................56 February 2009 Fire Tower Inventory……..59 Fire Tower Location Map………………….60 Number of Fires Spotted Graph…………...60 Historical Notes on Certain Fire Towers….61 Roster of the NYS Forest Fire Observers from the payroll file of the Bureau of Forest Fire Control 1911 – 1972 © Copyright 2009 Unpublished Work by Bill Starr The following roster of the New York State Forest Fire Observers was compiled from the index card payroll file of the Bureau of Forest Fire Control from 1911 through 1972. Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts. Yet these records too are incomplete as they are from the recollections of the people interviewed by Mr. Podskoch.
