![]() ![]() We can discuss Chinese American and Asian American Pacific Islander history and break/challenge stereotypes and terms such as “yellow peril,” “perpetual foreigner,” and “model minority.” By unpacking the history of anti-Asian racism in America and how these stereotypes originate and lead to unconscious bias, this masterclass tour enables every audience member to emerge with more awareness of one’s own assumptions, and constructively challenge and overcome these barriers to create more opportunities for personal development and institutional growth. We can take audience members on a journey through 200 years of Chinese American history through a personally guided tour of MOCA’s permanent exhibition With a Single Step: Stories in the Making of America and/or MOCA’s special exhibition Responses: Asian American Voices Resisting the Tides of Racism. If your organization or employee resource group is interested in debunking stereotypes and breaking down unconscious bias to enable individuals and institutions to create more opportunities for development and growth, we would love to work with you to bring a MOCA Masterclass Museum Virtual or In-Person Tour to your workplace.

Arriving in Chicago, Harris phones Bellow’s estranged wife, Susan. Nostrils aflare, Harris sniffs through Bellow’s personal life for secrets and indiscretions, appraising the women in Bellow’s life with a tail-wagging enthusiasm that’s truly-no gentle word will do-insipid. Perhaps Harris seems to be staggering about in a haze because facts aren’t really what he’s after. I believe, I think, I guessed: no, Harris isn’t one to nail down details with Boswellian rigor. The Sterns arrived with Paul Fussell, of Rutgers, and Fussell’s wife, whose name I never learned and with Bellow and his companion, a woman of twenty-five (I guessed or was told) named or called Stat or Stats or Stap or Staps. I think this restaurant was a favorite of the Sterns, who had taken me there April 5, 1961. Our party assembled at a Chinese restaurant on 63rd Street, near Dorchester, I believe, on the South Side. They were discussing either Tolstoy’s story, “The Death of Ivan Ilyitch,” or the social critic by that name. …I changed direction and drove back past the Sterns’ house, where I was pleased to see Bellow’s car parked, and he within the house in the company of Harold Rosenberg. What high school?… I didn’t quite catch it…. ![]() Soon I was engaged in conversation with Zita Cogan, who had attended high school with Bellow. Men had broken over less.” It should be noted however that Harris’s ear is not one of nature’s keener instruments, and that his memory is as riddled with holes as a gangster’s getaway car. And ‘Harvard kike’ cast me down altogether. “Bellow’s views on Vietnam discouraged me. According to Harris, Bellow once sideswiped someone by referring to him as “a Harvard kike.” Harris’s heart takes a disillusioned dive, and he wonders whether or not he should roll up his sleeping bag and haul his weary soul home. The malice consists of niggling, needling comments sprinkled throughout the book to make Bellow look vain, grumpy, petty, politically complacent, even a touch anti-Semitic. For though Harris professes unfaltering devotion to King Saul and dismisses as envious upstarts those writers who refuse to share that admiration (the nit-pickers include critic Marvin Mudrick and John Updike), his memoir is acidly laced with malice-malice and prurience. ![]() No such affection springs between Bellow and Harris wary, irritated, Bellow keeps a frosty distance from Harris, as well he might. Brash and dissolute as he often was, Boswell was amusing company, a rakish charmer who drew from Johnson a friendly love: “I love the young dogs of this age,” said Johnson, and Boswell was always cocksup for a frisk. Johnson-a fancy born out of chutzpah and self-deception. Harris, who is currently whittling away at Boswell’s journals to produce a single-volume edition, has fond hopes of playing Bozzy to Bellow’s Dr. Saul Bellow, Drumlin Woodchuck-the title comes from a Robert Frost poem-is not a biography of Saul Bellow but a self-deprecating memoir about trying to win the confidence of Herzog’s creator. Blood drains from Bellow’s face in the bathroom, the white towels tremble. Why should he have answered my mail? Never mind, I went to him.” One evening in Bellow’s Chicago apartment, Harris springs the grim news on his hero: he wants to write Bellow’s biography. So smitten with Bellow is Harris that even his hero’s aloofness draws him on. Undaunted, Harris sends Bellow his new book the gift goes…unacknowledged. Harris broods about Bellow, sends him letters which gush and flatter, letters Bellow (mostly) ignores. (He now teaches at Arizona State University.) In 1961, Harris visited Bellow at his house in New York’s Hudson Valley a few days later, they had dinner together in Manhattan. Harris, the author of Bang the Drum Slowly and several other baseball novels, began corresponding with Bellow in 1959 after Bellow had recommended a friend for a teaching job at San Francisco State, where Harris taught English literature. In moments of agitation and dismay, Saul Bellow must have longed to issue the same order to his would-be biographer Mark Harris, for the evidence of Saul Bellow, Drumlin Woodchuck suggests that subtle hints (coughing, yawning, glancing at one’s watch) wouldn’t throw a persistent admirer like Harris off the scent-only rudeness would do. “Go, and never darken my towels again!” cried Groucho Marx, showing a pushy nuisance the door. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was getting pretty warm, but the line was covered. One thing to note–the queue for the planetarium show is outside. Here is one that explains how the Earth orbits the sun. Kristin enjoyed the interactive exhibits. We purchased our tickets, and then we checked out the exhibits. There are several times offered during the day. Kristin had never seen a planetarium show, so we decided to see one. I think at the time of our visit, adults were $7.00 and children’s tickets were $3.00. In this main room, you can purchase tickets for one of their shows, including shows in the planetarium.

You can angle you photo just right so that the sign was in the background, but when we were there, there was a small crowd trying to get pictures here. Recently, the bust was restored and moved to its current location. When Dean was killed in a car accident in 1955, the sculptor, Kenneth Kendall, began work on it. Apparently James Dean requested that a bust be made of him. The plaque states that several movies have been filmed at Griffith Observatory, including Rebel Without a Cause. It’s pretty far off in the distance, but you have a clear shot.Īlong your walk to the observatory, you can also see the James Dean monument known as the Rebel Without a Cause Monument. There is a fee to park, but there is no charge to walk the grounds or visit the observatory itself.Īs we strolled up to the observatory, we took some obligatory pictures with the sign. During the afternoon on a weekday in June, we were able to park in a parking lot near the observatory. I was a little nervous about parking I’d read that during busy times, you may be parking along the road up to the parking lot. It will take a few minutes to drive up to the observatory. But if you can’t make it then, just know that Griffith Observatory is worth it any time of day.ģ The Observation Deck Arriving at Griffith Observatory If we could’ve made time for it, I would’ve rather planned a visit for sunset. Located at the top of Griffith Park, this observatory boasts views of the sign and downtown Los Angeles. But since our schedule was tight, and our nine-year-old was with us, it made sense to check out Griffith Observatory. Sure, we could’ve hiked up to the sign, and I’ve heard that’s a pretty cool experience. ![]() Our time was limited we were heading to San Diego the next morning. After lunch, we knew we wanted to try to get a better view of the Hollywood sign. The next morning, we checked out the sites in West Hollywood. We certainly looked like the ultimate tourists as we tried to capture our first picture. Just ahead of us, we could see the Hollywood sign for the first time. On our arrival day, we couldn’t contain our excitement as we drove our rental car towards our home for the next two nights– Magic Castle Hotel. You simply can’t go to Hollywood without seeing the sign up on the hill.

It serves to map 'user units' inside an SVG document to the real world. SVG Scale Factor A scale factor determined by SVG root 'width'/'height' and the 'viewBox'. In SVG there are six ' absolute' unit identifiers: 'mm', 'cm', 'in', 'pt', 'pc', 'px' and several ' relative' unit identifiers: 'em', 'ex', '%'.

Display manufactures rarely provided the means to query the DPI of the display, and when they did, they often returned incorrect results. This required that displays be queryable as to what their true DPI was. In otherwords, a "one inch square" would be displayed on a screen as a physical one inch square. In the early days it was assumed that one would want to display drawings on a screen at full scale. Part of the problem with units in SVG and CSS in general is why they are there in the first place. Units are not as straight-forward as one should think they are.

The immediate political effect of the internet has been to energize extremist views and expand the numbers of individuals who hold them. Extremist groups who reject these values are among the beneficiaries of the “democratization” of knowledge and communication. It is democratizing, if by this we mean greater participation in politics rather than an endorsement of democratic values. The political forces the internet creates mean that representative parliamentary democracy-the nineteenth-century solution to Gutenbergian disruption-is no longer adequate. They erode the legitimacy of existing authority by changing citizens’ expectations and creating competing narratives. Internet technologies are producing a similar result, but at a faster pace and with broader effect. This first “knowledge revolution” contributed to centuries of political turmoil. These new ideas eroded certainty in existing institutions and authority. Cheap printing changed how people thought about governance, as they could acquire knowledge at lower cost and from a much broader array of sources, giving them new (and often competing) concepts and narratives about society and religion. Let 100 Flowers BloomĪ precedent for this shift may come from Johannes Gutenberg and moveable type.
