Stuck? Diagrams Help
No full textLike digital tow trucks, diagrams have been helping people feeling stuck for thousands of years. But why? Because diagrams give us superpowers. The ability to render our ideas visually helps us move through some pretty gnarly human situations. In this keynote Abby Covert, an author and information architect, takes us on a tour of five of the superpowers that make diagrams the helpful superhero of many sensemaking stories.Abby Covert is an information architect, writer and community organizer with two decades of experience helping people make sense of messes. Abby has written two popular books, How to Make Sense of Any Mess and Stuck? Diagrams Help. She currently spends her time making things that help you to make the unclear clear, many of which she makes available for free on her website, www.abbycovert.com or at accessible price points in her popular Etsy shop, AbbytheIA. In 2022, she started The Sensemakers Club where she brings together sensemakers from different walks of life to learn from one another. Abby currently lives and writes from Melbourne, Florida, where her most important job title is "Mom.

Carl King was president of the Manatee County Historical Society from 1974 through 1977 and was the author of "Model-T Days", the story of his family's arrival in Bradenton in the 1920s and tells of Carl's entry into real estate during the Great Florida Real Estate Boom of the 1920s
Abby Williams Hill: A Case Study of Early 20th Century Environmental Thought
No full textThis paper attempts to put forward an understanding of environmental thought in the early 20th century through a case study of Abby Williams Hill. By examining her stance on environmental issues in comparison with prominent writers and naturalists who preceded her the author suggests both a logical progression of American environmental thought between the early 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as the necessity to acknowledge the differences in perception and action towards nature that Abby Hill pursued throughout her life as an example of the necessity to understand personal and local attitudes towards broader historical themes
Abby Aldrich Rockefeller: The Woman in the Family
No full textBernice Kert. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller: the woman in the family
The author of Hemingway\u27s Women , which offered new insights into the sources of that famously macho writer\u27s creativity, once again illuminates the impact of a powerful female on American culture and society. Daughter of influential U.S. Senator Nelson Aldrich and wife of industrialist John D. Rockefeller Jr., Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (1874-1948) tactfully managed to fulfill her own interests and abilities while also satisfying the demands of a difficult husband who adored her and resented anything (including their children) that diverted her attention from him. A pioneering art collector, she was the driving force behind the founding of Manhattan\u27s Museum of Modern Art and encouraged a new appreciation of American folk art through her gifts to Colonial Williamsburg, the 18th-century Virginia town restored with her husband\u27s money. She also nudged the notoriously conservative Rockefeller family towards broader-based philanthropy and raised her six children--Babs, John 3rd, Nelson, Laurance, Winthrop and David--with a commitment to public service that the siblings still honor. In this elegantly written, carefully researched and psychologically astute biography, Abby Rockefeller emerges as a loveable and intelligent woman who wielded her great privilege to a variety of socially beneficial ends.-- Publishers Weekly reviewhttps://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/the-rockefellers/1035/thumbnail.jp
Impact of systematic redshift errors on the cross-correlation of the Lyman-α forest with quasars at small scales using DESI Early Data
No full textAbby Bault et al. -- ArXiv ePrint: 2402.18009. -- Dark energy spectroscopic instrument (DESI) survey year 1 resultsThe Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will measure millions of quasar spectra by the end of its 5 year survey. Quasar redshift errors impact the shape of the Lyman-α forest correlation functions, which can affect cosmological analyses and therefore cosmological interpretations. Using data from the DESI Early Data Release and the first two months of the main survey, we measure the systematic redshift error from an offset in the cross-correlation of the Lyman-α forest with quasars. We find evidence for a redshift dependent bias causing redshifts to be underestimated with increasing redshift, stemming from improper modeling of the Lyman-α optical depth in the templates used for redshift estimation. New templates were derived for the DESI Year 1 quasar sample at z > 1.6 and we found the redshift dependent bias, Δr ∥, increased from -1.94 ± 0.15 h -1 Mpc to -0.08 ± 0.04 h -1 Mpc (-205 ± 15 km s-1 to -9.0 ± 4.0 km s-1). These new templates will be used to provide redshifts for the DESI Year 1 quasar sample.The work of Abby Bault and David Kirkby was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics, under Award No. DE-SC0009920.

[Newspaper clipping titled:] Dear Abby: party nearly over for alcoholic mate
No full textLillian Baker sends in letter to Dear Abby informing the writer and readers that using the term "concentration camp" to describe Japanese American incarceration camps is disrespectful to what happened to Jewish people during World War II. A newspaper clipping published in "Los Angeles times" on February 19, 1981.The Japanese American Relocation Collection is composed of ephemera related to the relocation program during World War II. Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II
