Ethnic medicine case explaining the effects different native and immigrant groups had on frontier medicine. Frontier Medicine exhibit I created for USC's Norris Medical Library
As long as there's been a city of Los Angeles, there has been a large Chinese population. The first Chinatown was established in 1880, but Chinese immigrants lived in Los Angeles long before then. In 1871, a mob of 500 Angelenos killed 19 Chinese immigrants, an event which still stands as the worst incident of racial violence in the history of the American West. Chinatown was moved in the 1930s to accommodate the building of Union Station. When the station expanded in the 1990s to include the Metro red line, an archaeological dig uncovered a number of artifacts from early Chinese immigrants, including medicine bottles and opium bowls. Photos of these artifacts can be viewed at USC's Digital Library website (http://digitallibrary.usc.edu).
Because pioneers became familiar with some Native American medicinal practices, the Indian became a symbol of medicinal wisdom. The makers of patent medicines -- also known as quack medicines -- took advantage of the Indian's reputation by using their images and names on their medicines to imbue a sense of credibility where there was none.
note that this photo was reversed when it was printed - someone laid the negative down backwards.

Aerial view from the Del Carlo Collection ( www.sourisseauacademy.org/archon/index.php?p=digitallibra...) of the now gone K Mart at 1454 Fruitdale Avenue.
The K Mart closed it's doors in 2001, well before the other San Jose K Mart's went out. The site sat empty for a while before apartments went up on the lot, with construction still occurring to this day, almost 11 years after the closure.
The diagonal road is Southwest Expressway, something that is not really an expressway but was initially planned as one, it was never completed and ends at Bascom Avenue.
Also I still live in this area today, it is odd to see how much it's grown, there were so many orchards then and lack of sprawl seen today.

Cockins House, c. 1894
(Possibly the former site of the Jessie Benton Freemont House, demolished.)
1101 W 28th St
Bradbeer and Farris
North University Park
The description in Wikipedia states:
"This Queen Anne Victorian house was designed by Bradbeer & Ferris and built in 1894 for William and Sarah Cockins. Its twin is located on the opposite side of 27th Street. The Cockins lived in the home until 1903. Thomas P. Newton purchased the home and resided in it until 1908. It was then converted into a duplex in 1911 and later served as a boarding house.
"It is a visual landmark on Hoover Street and is considered one of the most impressive examples of late Queen Anne style architecture in Los Angeles. It is now the site of the USC Center for Occupation and Lifestyle Redesign, which studies how everyday activites shape human health and wellbeing."
It's not clear if the house was moved to this site, or if it's the original location. A photo in the USC archives lists this site as the home of Jesse Benton Freemont. The house was moved out to the Valley in the 1930's and was movved again to Panarama City. It was then demolished in 1959.

[Psallus Fieber 1858: 167 (IT: 35) spp]
There is little reason to believe that Psallus s.l. spp within each sg are tied together by characters other than the form of the vestiture. Monophyly of Psallus s.l. is uncertain, especially when it fails to consider the validity of Sthenarus, a nominal genus associated with Psallus because of the great structural similarity of the endosoma with that of Psallus s.s. spp; the 2 spp currently residing in Sthenarus are placed there simply because Psallus s.l. served as a dumping ground and are in need of reexamination to determine their genus of proper placement.

Ouloborus
Description: Uloborus is a spider in the order Araneae, suborder Opisthothelae, infraorder Araneomorphae, subdivision Entelegynae, superfamily Uloboroidea, family Uloboridae and subfamily Uloborinae.
Uloborus are a genus of cribellate spiders which possess eight subequal eyes of about the same length, which are arranged in two rows of four, a trait in Uloborinae shared with the subfamily Hyptiotinae within the family Uloboridae. The posterior row is strongly recurved. Anterior row is less recurved. Such traits are not equally present within the other subfamilies. The carapace is ovoid, longer than wide. The labium is semicircular in Uloborinae, a tad shorter in Miagrammopinae. The sternum is undivided. The chelicerae are robust and lack lateral condyles and venom glands, marking this family as one of the few families of spiders with the inability to inject venom in their prey. Fangs in this family are found in clusters of small teeth or fewer larger teeth. Tibiae are provided with a brush of long hairs. Uloborids possess dorsally compressed, curved metatarsus IV with an uniseriate calamistrum which is often absent in males. Uloborus' tarsus IV is longer than half the length of metatarsus IV. In some species tibia I is provided with a brush of hairs. The dorsal compression of metatarsi under calamistrum IV is indistinct in Uloborus. Epigyne with paired projections in Uloborus. Sometimes, males possess palps relatively large compared to their size. The female palp has dentate claws and the palpal femur has a small tubercle in many species.
The genus Uloborus often reinforce their webs with stabilimenta. Their silk is unequal with most other spiders': the Uloborus spin their webs differently; the webs are fluffy and made of nanoscale filaments. There is a theory which suggests that the reason to this is for the capture of prey through electrostatic charge. This theory says the silk seems to emerge as liquid from the silk glands and is pulled over a comblike plate on the hind legs which also gives it the appearance of wool. This technique gives them a charge and the "electrostatic fibers are thought to attract prey to the web in the same way a towel pulled from the dryer is able to attract stray socks." - This theory requires scientific confirmation and I know no scientific embasement for it on Uloborus, so providing me with a background confirming this will allow me to post this as a fact instead of a theory.
A little trivia: In the Pokémon franchise, Galvantula is an Electric-Type / Bug-Type spider which can learn the move "Electroweb".
The genus has around 72 described species that mostly occur in the tropics and subtropics with modest representation in temperate areas. Only a few species can be found in North America and Europe. Apparently, a few species from this genus were moved to Philoponella, a genus in which some species construct communal webs, Astavakra, Octonoba, Zosis, Tangaroa, Daramulunia, Purumitra, Psechrus, Sybota and Waitkera; hence the doubt on the genus ID. (wsc.nmbe.ch/genus/3810/Uloborus)
The genus name comes from the Greek "ouloboros" which translates to "with deadly bite", even though the whole family Uloboridae lacks venom glands.
Members of the family Uloboridae are the only cribellate spiders that spin capturing webs in the form of orbs or portions of orbs. A few species of Uloborus weave their webs in an horizontal position. "The common name of hackled-band orb weavers comes from the fact that the spiral portion of the web is constructed of an unusual type of silk thread known as hackled band." ... "Respiratory system consisting of a pair of book lungs at base of abdomen and single, median, tracheal spiracle near cribellum. Spinnerets of average size, set close together, six in number; front and hind pairs two-segmented, but apical segments small." - ("http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/bitstream/handle/2246/3363/N2196.pdf" - more information can be found here)

In the early history of Hypochilus taxonomy, new species were named after eminent arachnologists. In 1958, Willis Gertsch named a species from the central and southern Sierra Nevada after Alexander Petrunkevitch. the paper can be found here: digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/4446
