Columbia, Missouri
Columbia is a city of 116,906 people in the state of Missouri. Founded in 1820 as the county seat of Boone County and home to the University of Missouri, it is the principal municipality of the Columbia Metropolitan Area, the fourth most populous urban area in Missouri. As a midwestern college town, the city has a reputation for progressive politics, public art, and powerful journalism. The tripartite establishment of Stephens College, University of Missouri, and Columbia College has long made the city a center of education, culture, and athletic competition. These three schools surround Downtown Columbia on the east, south, and north; at the center is the Avenue of the Columns, which connects Francis Quadrangle and Jesse Hall to the Boone County Courthouse and the City Hall. Originally an agricultural town, today the cultivation of the mind is Columbia's chief economic concern. Never a major center of manufacturing, the city also depends on healthcare, insurance, and technology businesses. Several companies—Shelter Insurance, Carfax, and Slackers CDs and Games among them—were founded in the city. Cultural institutions include the State Historical Society of Missouri, the Museum of Art and Archaeology, and the annual True/False Film Festival. The Missouri Tigers, the state's only major athletic program, play football at Faurot Field and basketball at Mizzou Arena as members of the Southeastern Conference.
The city is built upon the forested hills and rolling prairies of Mid-Missouri, near the Missouri River valley, where the Ozark Mountains begin to transform into plains and savanna; limestone forms bluffs and glades while rain carves caves and springs which water the Hinkson, Roche Perche, and Petite Bonne Femme creeks. Surrounding the city, Rock Bridge State Park, Mark Twain National Forest, and Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge form a greenbelt preserving sensitive and rare environments. The first humans were nomadic hunters who entered the area at least twelve-thousand years ago. Later, woodland tribes lived in villages along waterways and built mounds in high places. The Osage and Missouria nations were expelled by the exploration of French traders and the rapid settlement of American pioneers. The latter arrived by the Boone's Lick Trail and hailed from the slave-owning culture of the Upland South, especially Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, giving Boonslick the name Little Dixie during American Civil War. German, Irish, and other European immigrants soon joined. The modern populace is unusually diverse, over eight percent foreign-born. While White and Black remain the largest ethnicities, Asians are now the third-largest group. Today's Columbians are remarkably highly educated and culturally midwestern, though traces of their Southern past remain. The city has been called the Athens of Missouri or a reference to its classic beauty and educational emphasis, but is more commonly called CoMo.

The Archaeology of American Cities
Nan A. Rothschild and Diana diZerega Wall Book Talk
The Archaeology of American Cities
New York has been built, altered, redeveloped, destroyed, reimagined, and rebuilt for centuries. When new construction projects require digging, literally, into the city’s past, urban archeologists are presented with the challenging problems of reconstructing from limited data, a picture of the material culture of the past and of the social forces that drive urban development.
At the forefront of this academic discipline, Professors Nan Rothschild and Diana Wall introduce their fascinating field of research to a broad readership. Focusing on case studies of work undertaken in New York, Philadelphia, Tucson, West Oakland, The Archaeology of American Cities uses the material culture of former centuries to highlight recurring themes that reflect distinctive characteristics of urban life in the United States.
Nan A. Rothschild, director of the Museum Studies Program and professor of anthropology at Barnard College, Columbia University, is the author of three books, including New York City Neighborhoods: The 18th Century.
Diana diZerega Wall, professor of anthropology at the City College of the City University of New York, is the author of The Archaeology of Genderand the coauthor of Unearthing Gotham.

Says the artist: This is what you get when you mix an industrious art student w/ cigs, nicotine, coffee and peppermint schnapps.
(Albeit back then American coffee was nothing compared to what the Starbucks revolution caused in the US, which made American coffee drinking more akin to Turkish coffee).
~
Segan was a grad MFA student, Univ. of Missouri, Columbia.

Center for Missouri Studies Groundbreaking Ceremony
On April 19 the State Historical Society of Missouri held a ceremonial groundbreaking at the building site for the Center for Missouri Studies, a facility that will define the organization in the twenty-first century. The new Columbia headquarters will offer a significant upgrade from SHSMO’s current facilities in the University of Missouri’s Ellis Library. Its ground floor will feature a much larger art gallery and a multipurpose events space with a seating capacity of 250. The second floor will include an expanded research center built to accommodate modern technology and to provide greater access to documents, photographs and maps, oral history recordings, microfilm reels, and other resources.
The new building will have on-site parking and 76,000 square feet of floor space, roughly twice the size of SHSMO’s space at Ellis. A two-story glass lobby will feature two main entrances, one facing the University of Missouri and the other opening to downtown Columbia and the public. The two doorways will symbolize the State Historical Society’s intent to be a meeting place that draws campus and community together. Construction at the building site on Sixth and Elm Streets is currently underway, and completion is anticipated in 2019.
A comprehensive campaign is also in progress to raise permanently endowed funds supporting SHSMO's mission to collect, preserve, and disseminate our state's history and heritage. Learn more at

American artist and tolerance educator Akiva Kenny Segan video'd a photo of a color etching & aquatint made around 1978.
The original print is approx. 24 inches H x 36 inches W. It was hand printed on an etching press from a zinc etching plate.
This is likely the only extant proof printed from the plate.

Since Segan made this short video he found out who owns the original artwork and at some time in the near future Segan hopes to visit the home of the owner of the work and video the original artwork. (The owner of the work lives in a suburb city north of Seattle city).

Segan lived in St Louis from late Aug. 77 to late Aug '78 while attending graduate school there. In late Aug '78 he moved to Columbia where he spent 2 more years as a Missouri resident.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

A taxicab conveys passengers between locations of their choice. This differs from other modes of public transport where the pick-up and drop-off locations are determined by the service provider, not by the passenger, although demand responsive transport and share taxis provide a hybrid bus/taxi mode.

American Indian Museum in Evanston Illinois
Southwest Museum of the American Indian
Perched on the hills of the Arroyo Seco, the Southwest Museum opened its doors to the public in 1914. It's no exaggeration to say that it was the Getty of its era, and the city celebrated the Southwest Museum's arrival with good reason. Los Angeles now had a world-class museum with an immense collection of Native-American and Pre-Columbian artifacts (collected by Charles Lummis during his travels throughout the Southwest and South America) that rivaled anything the U.S. (This was an era before the provenance of Native American artifacts much interested museums.)

BEST/TOP PLACES IN COLUMBIA TO GET A TAN?
Indoor tanning involves using a device that emits ultraviolet radiation to produce a cosmetic tan.[a] Typically found in tanning salons, gyms, spas, hotels, and sporting facilities, and less often in private residences, the most common device is a horizontal tanning bed, also known as a sunbed or solarium. Vertical devices are known as tanning booths or stand-up sunbeds.
First introduced in the 1920s, indoor tanning became popular with white people in the Western world, particularly in Scandinavia, in the late 1970s. The practice finds a cultural parallel in skin whitening in Asian countries, and both support multibillion-dollar industries. Most indoor tanners are women, 16–25 years old, who want to improve their appearance or mood, acquire a pre-holiday tan, or treat a skin condition best place to get a tan in columbia mo, top places to get a tan in columbia mo, where to get tanning in columbia mo,

We do trace the history of American military medicine, but through the depth and breath of our five collections we actually are broader and have artifacts and specimens that come to us from around the world, as well as from the civilian area.
10. Military artist's sketch of Lincoln's final moments
11. SOUNDBITE: (English) Steven Solomon, National Museum of Health and Medicine:
Among the most popular artifacts in the museum are the Lincoln artifacts. This includes the bullet that killed President Lincoln, the probe that the Army Medical Museum surgeon used to locate the bullet during autopsy.
12. Cutaway of bullet on display
13. SOUNDBITE: (English) Steven Solomon, National Museum of Health and Medicine:
When they finished, adhering to the tip of the probe were fragments from Lincoln's skull which are in these two small containers and a lock of Lincoln's hair. These are the only skull fragments that exist from President Lincoln and the only hair with US government chain of custody back to his head.

So these are some of our presidential remains. The remains of John Wilkes Booth here. This is his vertebrae and then the spinal cord. In both cases you can see that there's a probe and its passing through the spinal cord. That's what the probe is showing you. The path of the bullet... through this paramecia here which you can see clearly the probe is penetrating, which, if you look at the spinal cord, again you can see, that the probe is clearly passing through the spinal cord.

Yes, we do have the skeleton of Ham who was the first chimpanzee in space. You can tell that he actually had lived for quite a number of years after he was in the space program because he was quite young, he was a young chimp. But he has quite a bit of arthritis, he has bad periodontal disease, but nothing probably, I mean typical for a chimpanzee who was in his advanced years.

Stonehenge - A full size replica in Maryhill, Washington
High above the Columbia Gorge separating the states of Washington and Oregon, you will find Maryhill Stonehenge, the first monument in the United States to honor the dead of World War I. It was built by Sam Hill and was originally dedicated on July 4, 1918. The altar stone is placed to be aligned with sunrise on the Summer Solstice. The monument was originally located in the center of Maryhill, which later burned down leaving only the Stonehenge replica. A second formal dedication of the monument took place upon its completion on May 30, 1929. Sam Hill, who died in 1931, lived long enough to see his Stonehenge completed.
This sequence was shot in 2005.
