During his third year at the university Shawn became gravely ill with diphtheria. During his long recovery, which included learning to walk again and strengthening his body, particularly his legs which had become lame, Shawn determined to become a dancer In 1912 Shawn moved to Los Angeles where he established his own modest school of dance.

108. INTRODUCTION Manuel L.Ponte shares his photographs and recollections about an Azorean family and its migration to the american Midwest in the 20th century. http://www.geocities.com/azorean/Index.html

AN AZOREAN IN MID AMERICA AN AZOREAN IN MID AMERICA I saw my first map of the United States in the warehouse of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company on St. Michael's Island, in the Azores, where my father worked between 1936 and the time he came to America (1944). I was about eight years old. Since America had held a fascination for me, for it was always a topic of conversation at our house, I looked for some point where I could find such places as Cambridge, Fall River, and Somerville. I never found them. Instead, I did find cities like Boston, New York, Chicago, and one where two rivers met, St. Louis. Although I had never seen a river, for there are no rivers in the Azores, I knew how they were presented on maps. That city's name, however, did hold my interest, for the saint it was named after had the same name as my middle name. I never knew, however, that someday it would be my home, or that there'd be a time when I'd be speaking English over one of its radio stations, WGNU . Being an Azorean in the Midwest is not easy. Often I not only have to explain where the Azores are, but that Portugal is not a part of Spain. On the other hand, as one can see by the pictures of my home, being a "midwesterner" - even an adopted one - has its advantage. All one has to do is look around and see why very often I feel regretful if I have to leave here to visit elsewhere. In any case, let the pages that follow tell a bit more about myself, my family, my friends, my hobbies, and all those other things that are really dear to me. Thanks to them, I feel quite rich. Please, therefore, read or click on....

SIL Electronic Working Papers 2001-001, May 2001 Reminiscences by Pike on Early American Anthropological Linguistics By Kenneth L. Pike SIL International COMMENT FROM THE EDITOR OF SILEWP This is the last academic paper that Ken Pike wrote shortly before his death on December 31, 2000 at age 88. In October 1999 the editor of American Anthropologist AA Contents Abstract Early Mentors At the University of Michigan Major Shifts in Twentieth Century American Anthropology ... References Cited Abstract [by the Editor of SILEWP] In this essay, Pike reviews where, in his view, linguistic anthropology was in the past, where it is now, and where it may lead in the future. He describes how he got into linguistics in the 1930s, and then reminisces about his personal interactions with the godfathers of American structural linguistics: Bloomfield, Sapir, Fries, Bloch, Hockett, Nida, Swadesh, Trager, Voegelin, and others. He describes how his theory of tagmemics evolved, as well as his emic/etic concept; and he tells of the abrupt changes that came in American linguistics with the rise of Chomsky and transformational linguistics. Early Mentors Mayan Studies I Phonetics Morphology In the spring of 1937, using a cane to start with, I walked for a month from the highlands of the Mixtec area (8,300 feet above sea level) to the coast, to survey other Mixtec-related linguistic needs on the way.

113. Drought: A Paleo Perspective -- 20th Century Drought 20th century Drought the 1950s represented a time of growth and prosperity for manyAmericans. 1980s drought was not only the costliest in US history, but also http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/drought/drght_history.html

20th Century Drought The Dust Bowl Drought The Dust Bowl drought was a natural disaster that severely affected much of the United States during the 1930s. The drought came in three waves, 1934, 1936, and 1939-40, but some regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years. The "dust bowl" effect was caused by sustained drought conditions compounded by years of land management practices that left topsoil susceptible to the forces of the wind. The soil, depleted of moisture, was lifted by the wind into great clouds of dust and sand which were so thick they concealed the sun for several days at a time. They were referred to as" black blizzards ". The agricultural and economic damage devastated residents of the Great Plains. The Dust Bowl drought worsened the already severe economic crises that many Great Plains farmers faced. In the early 1930s, many farmers were trying to recover from economic losses suffered during the Great Depression. To compensate for these losses, they began to increase their crop yields. High production drove prices down, forcing farmers to keep increasing their production to pay for both their equipment and their land. When the drought hit, farmers could no longer produce enough crops to pay off loans or even pay for essential needs. Even with Federal emergency aid, many Great Plains farmers could not withstand the economic crisis of the drought. Many farmers were forced off of their land, with one in ten farms changing possession at the peak of the farm transfers.

John Dewey (1859-1952) Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) Life and Works Theory of Knowledge Metaphysics Ethical and Social Theory ... Bibliography Life and Works John Dewey was born on October 20, 1859, the third of four sons born to Archibald Sprague Dewey and Lucina Artemesia Rich of Burlington, Vermont. The eldest sibling died in infancy, but the three surviving brothers attended the public school and the University of Vermont in Burlington with John. While at the University of Vermont, Dewey was exposed to evolutionary theory through the teaching of G.H. Perkins and Lessons in Elementary Physiology, a text by T.H. Huxley, the famous English evolutionist. The theory of natural selection continued to have a life-long impact upon Dewey's thought, suggesting the barrenness of static models of nature, and the importance of focusing on the interaction between the human organism and its environment when considering questions of psychology and the theory of knowledge. The formal teaching in philosophy at the University of Vermont was confined for the most part to the school of Scottish realism, a school of thought that Dewey soon rejected, but his close contact both before and after graduation with his teacher of philosophy, H.A.P. Torrey, a learned scholar with broader philosophical interests and sympathies, was later accounted by Dewey himself as "decisive" to his philosophical development. After graduation in 1879, Dewey taught high school for two years, during which the idea of pursuing a career in philosophy took hold. With this nascent ambition in mind, he sent a philosophical essay to W.T. Harris, then editor of the

SPRING from FOUR SEASONS, c. 1899 Leaded Favrile glass Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art houses the most comprehensive collection of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany found anywhere, a major collection of American art pottery and representative collections of late-19th and early-20th century American paintings, graphics and the decorative arts. Founded by Jeannette Genius McKean in 1942 and named for her industrialist grandfather, its collections were built over a half century by Mrs. McKean and her husband, Hugh F. McKean. In the late 1950s they acquired major windows and architectural elements from Tiffany's fire-ravaged estate on Long Island and later the elements of his 1893 chapel for the World's Columbian Exposition. The complete chapel has been reassembled and is on exhibit at the Morse Museum. Hugh McKean, author of

(based on 56k modem speeds) Jerome Lemelson, the independent inventor who founded the Lemelson Center, was concerned with the public profile of invention in the United States. Ask a young person to name 5 rock stars or superstar athletes, he'd often say, and you will get a full and immediate response. Ask that same teenager to name 5 inventors, and it's likely he or she would get stuck after coming up with Thomas Edison. How likely, then, is it that any American of any age could rattle off the names of 5 women inventors? Yet, the history of women inventors is as long as that of their male counterparts. Sybilla Masters, for example, is often named as the first woman inventor in the American colonies. In 1715, the English courts awarded a patentalbeit, to her husband Thomasfor a method of making cornmeal from maize"a new invention," the patent clearly stated, "found out by Sybilla his wife." She was not unique; the following century boasted many women inventors. For example, Mary Kies earned a patentin her own namein 1809 for a way of weaving straw that was put to use in the New England hat manufacturing trade.
