The Ford Rotunda was originally built as an exhibit building for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. After the close of the Fair, the building was taken apart and shipped to Dearborn, and reassembled on Rotunda Drive, across from the Central Office Building (the "World Headquarters" for that time period). During the year, the Company would have various automotive exhibits for the public and local school children. Tragically, while making roof repairs on Friday, November 9th, 1962, the hot tar roof ignited, and before the fire department could arrive, the building was pretty much destroyed. A sad day in Ford history, and a loss to the children and families who visited regularly.
The Bhimbetka rock shelters are an archaeological site of the Paleolithic, exhibiting the earliest traces of human life on the Indian subcontinent, and thus the beginning of the South Asian Stone Age. It is located in the Raisen District in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, near Abdullaganj town and inside the Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary. At least some of the shelters were inhabited by Homo erectus more than 100,000 years ago. Some of the Stone Age rock paintings found among the Bhimbetka rock shelters are approximately 30,000 years old. The caves also deliver early evidence of dance. They were declared a World Heritage Site in 2003.
The name Bhimbetka (भीमबैठका) is associated with Bhima, a hero-deity of the epic Mahabharata. The word Bhimbetka is said to derive from Bhimbaithka, meaning "sitting place of Bhima".
LOCATION
The Rock Shelters of Bhimbetaka (or Bhim Baithaka) lies 9 km from obedullaganj city in the Raisen District of Madhya Pradesh,and 45 kilometers south of Bhopal at the southern edge of the Vindhya hills. South of these rock shelters are successive ranges of the Satpura hills.
The entire area is covered by thick vegetation, has abundant natural resources in its perennial water supplies, natural shelters, rich forest flora and fauna, and bears a striking resemblance to similar rock art sites such as Kakadu National Park in Australia, the cave paintings of the Bushmen in Kalahari Desert and the Upper Paleolithic Lascaux cave paintings in France.
DISCOVERY
As reported in the UNESCO citation declaring the Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka a World Heritage Site, Bhimbetka was first mentioned in Indian archeological records in 1888 as a Buddhist site, based on information gathered from local adivasis. Later V. S. Wakankar, while traveling by train to Bhopal, saw some rock formations similar to those he had seen in Spain and France. He visited the area with a team of archaeologists and discovered several prehistoric rock shelters in 1957.
Since then more than 750 such shelters have been identified, of which 243 are in the Bhimbetka group and 178 in the Lakha Juar group. Archeological studies revealed a continuous sequence of Stone Age cultures (from the late Acheulian to the late Mesolithic), as well as the world’s oldest stone walls and floors.
Barkheda has been identified as the source of the raw materials used in some of the monoliths discovered at Bhimbetka.
ROCK ART AND PAINTINGS
The rock shelters and caves of Bhimbetka have a large number of paintings. The oldest paintings are considered to be 30,000 years old, but some of the geometric figures date to as recently as the medieval period. The colors used are vegetable colors which have endured through time because the drawings were generally made deep inside a niche or on inner walls. The drawings and paintings can be classified under seven different periods.
Period I - (Upper Paleolithic): These are linear representations, in green and dark red, of huge figures of animals such as bison, tigers and rhinoceroses.
Period II - (Mesolithic): Comparatively small in size the stylised figures in this group show linear decorations on the body. In addition to animals there are human figures and hunting scenes, giving a clear picture of the weapons they used: barbed spears, pointed sticks, bows and arrows. The depiction of communal dances, birds, musical instruments, mothers and children, pregnant women, men carrying dead animals, drinking and burials appear in rhythmic movement.
Period III - (Chalcolithic) Similar to the paintings of the Chalcolithic, these drawings reveal that during this period the cave dwellers of this area were in contact with the agricultural communities of the Malwa plains, exchanging goods with them.
Period IV & V - (Early historic): The figures of this group have a schematic and decorative style and are painted mainly in red, white and yellow. The association is of riders, depiction of religious symbols, tunic-like dresses and the existence of scripts of different periods. The religious beliefs are represented by figures of yakshas, tree gods and magical sky chariots.
Period VI & VII - (Medieval) : These paintings are geometric linear and more schematic, but they show degeneration and crudeness in their artistic style. The colors used by the cave dwellers were prepared by combining manganese, hematite and wooden coal.
One rock, popularly referred to as “Zoo Rock”, depicts elephants, sambar, bison and deer. Paintings on another rock show a peacock, a snake, a deer and the sun. On another rock, two elephants with tusks are painted. Hunting scenes with hunters carrying bows, arrows, swords and shields also find their place in the community of these pre-historic paintings. In one of the caves, a bison is shown in pursuit of a hunter while his two companions appear to stand helplessly nearby; in another, some horsemen are seen, along with archers.
In one painting, a large wild boar is seen (see thumbnail picture). It is not known whether such large boars existed that time (note that, according to the skeletons found, those humans were about 7 feet tall) or the humans drew it with enlarged scale.

Early LA/California/West medicine case. Frontier Medicine exhibit I created for USC's Norris Medical Library
The Elusive Dr. Burrough: Alta California's First Physician by Dr. Robert J. Moes. 1980.
In 1823 there was only one known practicing doctor in all of Alta California, Dr. Manuel Quijano, the surgeon general at Monterey. And he was only the eighth doctor to hold that position. That considered, this reproduction of a contract for medical services in 1823 is rather remarkable, making it most likely the first contract of its kind in California. Captain José de la Guerra y Noriega, commandant of the Santa Barbara presidio, hired William Burrough to provide medical care for the resident soldiers and their families. The 22-year-old Burrough was paid 240 pesos annually for attending to the sick soldiers and their families, not much money even then. This contract represents the first example of a group or state socialized medicine in California and possibly all of North America.

Early LA/California/West medicine case. Frontier Medicine exhibit I created for USC's Norris Medical Library
"Compared with other portions of the United States, the whole New West is a sanitorium.” - chemist August A. Hayes, Jr. 1880.
Even before the Gold Rushers, there were intrepid health seekers headed to all areas of California for its restorative climate. The drier, temperate climate and lack of mosquitoes (and therefore malaria) brought the consumptive and disease-prone westward. In 1826 settler Antoine Robidoux went so far as to claim, "one man in California that had ever had a chill there, and it was a matter of so much wonderment to the people of Monterey that they went eighteen miles into the country to see him shake." By the late-1800s Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino and San Diego developed reputations as oases of health. Despite the good press, Los Angeles was a very unsanitary place to live, even by the standards of the day, according to early Angeleno Harris Newmark: "So wretched indeed were the conditions, that I have seen dead animals left on the highways for days at a time, and can recall one instance of a horse dying on Alameda Street and lying there until a party of Indians cut up the carcass for food." Advances in medicine -- like Dr. Koch's discovery of tuberculosis's bacterial nature and spread through human contact -- weakened the West's curative claims, though the ill continued to flock there well into the 20th century.

“Buck $hot to the $oul” concerns itself with what we don’t talk about at the dinner table–money, drugs, religion, guns, and flags,” says Laura.
Her artworks are wonderful, mixing words and symbols as metaphors to express her view that “EGO is Not Sacred”.
This fine exhibition includes new paintings, mixed-media installations, and sculpture, and will be on view at Zener Schon Contemporary Art until December 12, 2015.

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
Native Americans and immigrants of different ethnicities blended in the fledgling settlement of Los Angeles, each with their own cultures' medicinal practices. Spanish missionaries began arriving in Los Angeles in the early 17th century, bringing with them medieval medicinal and anatomy knowledge but also smallpox, which killed some 50,000 Pueblo Native Americans within the span of two years. At the same time, Spanish Jesuits were undertaking formal medical training in Mexico City to provide services to what would later become California, where they would mix Western medicine, Native American, and Aztec methods, even though Spanish church authorities warned it was dangerous and heretical to gain medical knowledge from "heathens." By the mid-19th century, the United States' war with Mexico caused an uptick in medical training of doctors, volunteers, and surgeons for hire. While only 1,500 soldiers died in combat, more than 10,000 died from diseases like malaria, smallpox, and dysentery.
To the 24 people who viewed my previous post about some of Daido Moriyama's images coming to town, I was at the Okinawa Prefectural Museum (next to Naha Main Place) yesterday and saw that there is currently an exhibit going on there as well.

Cambridge Bay:
A Time and a Place
Souns featuring / mettant en vedette
Tanya Tagaq
A Time and Place is a meditative sound journey of music and soundscapes created exclusively from audio recorded in and around Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Invited by musical collaborator Tanya Tagaq, an acclaimed Inuit throat singer, Michael Red (Souns) carefully gathered sounds including wind, dogs, birds, rushing water, still water, ice melting and crackling, feet moving through slush, a qillauti (drum) played and tightened, objects being tossed around and banged together at the community dump, the 10 o’clock siren, truck doors slamming, kids laughing and playing and more. Red also recorded Tanya singing and experimenting with other sounds from her mouth, running her fingers through furs and feathers, swishing ulus (knives) together, pulling at the ground, clacking rocks together and slurping freshly melted ice. Over three years, in Vancouver, Red categorized the sounds into a kind of subjective library of sounds, edited them into songs and sound pieces, and completed a continuous cycling mix of the songs and pieces. The mix heard in this installation is intended as a cyclical story that can be picked up anywhere, moving between the quieter moments of ambient field recordings and more dramatic areas like beat-driven songs. This is a sound expression of an experience — a compilation of ideas inspired from, and rooted in, land above the treeline.
A Time and Place consiste en un parcours de méditation sonore composé exclusivement de musique et d’un paysage sonore enregistrés à Cambridge Bay, au Nunavut, et aux alentours. Sur l’invitation de sa collaboratrice musicale Tanya Tagaq, interprète de chant guttural inuite de renom, Michael Red (Souns) a recueilli avec soin des sons produits par le vent, des chiens, des oiseaux, de l’eau qui coule, de l’eau immobile, de la glace qui fond et qui craque, des pieds qui se déplacent dans la neige fondante, un qillauti (tambour) dont on joue et dont on tend la peau, des objets que l’on secoue et que l’on cogne les uns contre les autres au dépotoir communautaire, la sirène de 10 h, des portières de camions qui se ferment, des enfants qui rient et qui jouent, pour ne citer que ceux là. M. Red a aussi enregistré Tanya pendant qu’elle chantait et émettait d’autres sons avec sa bouche, faisait glisser ses doigts sur des fourrures et des plumes, frottait des ulus (couteaux) les uns contre les autres, remuait la terre, faisait claquer des pierres et aspirait de la glace fraîchement fondue. Pendant trois ans, à Vancouver, M. Red a classé ces sons dans une sorte de bibliothèque subjective et les a édités sous forme de chansons et de pièces sonores, dont il a créé un mélange audio continu et cyclique. Le mélange audio que produit cette installation se veut une histoire cyclique que l’on peut reprendre n’importe où, qui passe de la tranquillité des enregistrements ambiants à l’effet plus dramatique des chansons rythmées. Cette œuvre est l’expression sonore d’une expérience — une compilation d’idées qui puise son inspiration et ses racines dans la terre au-delà de la limite forestière.
