Necessity is the mother of invention - so when our trusty RICOH Caplio R6's strobe was overwhelming at Macro distances we simply taped a bag of SILICA GEL crystals over the flash lens - and it delivered a nice diffuser effect!
This sharp/intense colour Macro shot was taken by an Olympus MJU 810 we were checking over. The vendor complained it was exhibiting an LCD-Screen flicker, which turned out to be caused by the ancient fluorescent tubes in a local Exchange & Mart interfering with the screen back-light's Pulse Mode Modulation to produce a screen flicker! The MJU 810 is just fine, as it was a environmental issue that was causing the visible LCD-Screen Flicker - & since the Vendor doesn't have a clue what's going on it could soon be ours very soon now!

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

The peony is named after Paeon (also spelled Paean), a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower.
The family name "Paeoniaceae" was first used by Friedrich K.L. Rudolphi in 1830, following a suggestion by Friedrich Gottlieb Bartling that same year. The family had been given other names a few years earlier. The composition of the family has varied, but it has always consisted of Paeonia and one or more genera that are now placed in Ranunculales. It has been widely believed that Paeonia is closest to Glaucidium, and this idea has been followed in some recent works. Molecular phylogenetic studies, however, have demonstrated conclusively that Glaucidium belongs in Ranunculaceae, but that Paeonia belongs in the unrelated order Saxifragales.
Peony or paeony is a name for plants in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Southern Europe and Western North America. Boundaries between species are not clear and estimates of the number of species range from 25 to 40.
Most are herbaceous perennial plants 1.5 - 5 feet (0.5 - 1.5 metres) tall, but some resemble trees up to 5 - 10 feet (1.5 – 3 metres) tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer.
Over 262 compounds have been obtained so far from the plants of Paeoniaceae. These include monoterpenoid glucosides, flavonoids, tannins, stilbenoids, triterpenoids and steroids, paeonols, and phenols.
Biological activities include antioxidant, antitumor, antipathogenic, immune-system-modulation activities, cardiovascular-system-protective activities and central-nervous-system activities.
The herb known as Paeonia (Bai Shao, Radix Paeoniae Lactiflorae), in particular the root of Paeonia lactiflora has been used frequently in traditional medicines of Korea, China and Japan. Research suggests that constituents in Paeonia lactiflora - paeoniflorin and paeonol - can modulate IgE-induced scratching behaviors and mast cell degranulation.
Our first lab run of the solar water pump using a helical impeller (like the ones used on an oil wells) and a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) 3 phase DC motor that is optimized for solar use (shifting the PWM frequency depending on voltage coming from the array…which tends to changes throughout the day). What does this all mean? Well we never hit our target efficiency (92%) or even exceeded the efficiency of traditional water pump (80%), instead we peaked at 53.4%. Dismal results on the first try, but it is the first try. Now its time to fish out the problems…motor, pump, controller, PWM frequency, test rigs and more. Sure wish I had that Finite Element Analysis software right now!

Pelavin Gallery is proud to announce a solo exhibition of recent work by American artist, Kate Beck. This show will include large scale poured oil paintings and graphite drawings on aluminum panel. This will be Beck’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, and in New York City.
In this new body of work, Beck continues her engagement with repetitive tonal rendering as a means of interaction between light and shadow, human thought and consciousness, and the dynamic architectonics of space. This time she takes the essence of form further by using aluminum substrates, allowing modulating marks of graphite and poured oil to accumulate and shift amidst the confines of the geometric shapes. Tension oscillates between formalistic geometry and existential space; an allusion to thought and consciousness, and the passage of time.

Basically, the Ekdahl Moisturizer is a spring reverb where the springs are exposed so they can be played/hit/fiddled with. As well as being capable of creating sound in itself, you can of course also play sound through the springs like a regular spring reverb - this makes for happy-fun-time finger-modulation of the reverb on whatever audio that's going through it. On top of this there's an analog multimode filter that can be used to attenuate or exaggerate certain frequencies in the sound, this is real handy while playing the springs as you can - for instance - cut all the highs and just make thunderous doomy sounds or do the opposite; cut all the lows and make that ear piercing high frequency special love. Also, it incorporates an LFO that's internally routable to the filter and that also has some external routing-stuff. The Ekdahl Moisturizer has tons of CV / Expression pedal options on the back for even more hillarious moments. The Moisturizer is a mono unit.
The Moisturizer was developed with the help of Jason Willett (Half Japanese, Leperchaun Catering), Martin Schmidt (Matmos, Instant Coffee), Joshua Atkins (Polygons, Major Powers), mom & dad and many more
I bought my self a PreenFM2 sound generator kit for my birthday October 2016. Half of the fun was to assemble it. My first electronic device that I soldered together myself. Lots of resistors, capacitors and ICs that has to fit according to a schematic.
What I need it for? Don't know at the moment. Learn how to program FM synth sounds. A very complicated discipline that requires knowledge in the inners of Frequency Modulation synthesis.

Nolita, Manhattan, New York City, New York
Corners of Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey, Nolita
The Puck Building, originally the home of Puck magazine, is one of the great surviving buildings from New York's old publishing and printing district.
The red-brick round-arched structure occupies the entire block bounded by East Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey Streets, and has been one of the most prominent architectural presences in the area since its construction one hundred years ago. The building is further distinguished by the large statue of Puck at the building's East Houston and Mulberry Street corner; this is among the city 's most conspicuous pieces of architectural sculpture.
Puck was, from its founding in 1876 until its demise in 1918, the city's and one of the country's best-known humor magazines. Published in both English and German-language editions , Puck satirized most of the public events of the day. The magazine featured color lithographic cartoons produced by the J. Ottman Lithographic Company, largest in the country, which shared the Puck Bllilding space.
The current building is the result of three stages of construction, all supervised by architect Albert Wagner; the building and its additions read as a single unified composit ion. The style is an adaptation of the Romanesque
Revival, which had reached great popularity in the 1880s through the works of H. H. Richardson. Wagner's Romanesque, however, was not Richardsonian. A German-born architect, Wagner had worked in New York for Prague-trained Leopold Eidlitz, and his version of the Romanesque appears to reflect the round-arched Gernan "Rundbogenstil" that Eidlitz had brought to New York several decades earlier.
The Puck Building remains one of the most striking 19th-century industrial buildings in lower Manhattan. The comic magazine was founded by Joseph Keppler (1838-1894) and Adolph Schwarzman first appeared in German in 1876. Puck's attitude varied from d humor to merciless satire. Politicallv, in Keppler's time, supported the Democratic Party, but it was never a partisan magazine. It ridiculed poiitical corruption, monopolies, labor unions, suffragism, and all forms of graft, extravagance, and unjustice. It reviewed theater and musical performances. It laughed at fashions and different fads.
In March 1885, with the magazine's circulation and success on the rise, Keppler, Schwarzmann and Ottman purchased property on the southwest corner of East Houston and Mulberry Streets to be the site of a building to house both Puck and the Ottman company. The location was at the fringes of what was then New York's printing district, whose -center was the Astor Library on Lafayette Street (then Lafayette Place). The authors of a Puck supplement issued on the occasion of its tenth anniversary wrote that "Houston street marks the southernmost boundary of a region much affected by large publishing houses."
Publishing houses, periodicals, and printers were located throughout the neighborhood during the 1880s and 1890s, and it was a natural choice for Puck. The original building was erected in 1885-86 to the designs of Albert Wagner, but went through several additions and alterations. In August 1890, spurred by the continuing growth of the magazine, Keppler, Schwarzann, and J. Ottman's heirs bought the adjoining property to the south at 281 Mulberry Street and erected an addition to the Puck Building in 1892-93, again to Albert Wagner's design. The two-year delay was caused by uncertainty in 1890, about the potential route of a proposed new rapid transit line.
Although the Puck Building is too late to be considered part of the Rundbogenstil, it appears to show the influence of Wagner's earlier experience with it. Such a connection would help explain both the references to the style as "Renaissance," and its dissimilarity to the then more popular Richardsonian version of the Romanesque.
The enormous red brick structure has been a commanding presence in the neighborhood since the time of its construction. Its identity was further announced by the statue of Puck at the Houston and Mulberry Street corner of the building, where the two main entrances originally met, one on either street. There is also a smaller statue over the Lafayette Street entrance. The larger '"Puck" on East Houston Street was apparently designed by Henry Baerer, the sculptor of the bust of Beethoven in Central Park. The designer of the smaller "Puck" is not known.
The Puck Building today comprises the original 1885-86 structure and the 1892 addition, less the western portion of each removed in 1898; the Lafayette Street elevation dates from the latter alteration, but duplicates the earlier design. The building occupies an irregular lot bounded by East Houston Street on the north, Mulberry Street on the east, Jersey Street on the south, and Lafayette Street on the west.43 Despite the complexity of its building history, the Puck reads as a single structure retaining the integrity of its original design. The original portion is seven stories high, and the addition nine, but otherwise they are practically identical in design and material.
The building's architectural effects derive from the rhythms set up by arches of varying width, within bays of equal width, and from an adept use of red brick which creates the modulations in the piers, the definition of the arches, and the corbeling of the cornice. Cast-iron window enframements, statuary, and wrought-iron entrance gates, and the cast-iron and glass vault-lighting, provide the necessary contrast in materials.
The original section now comprises four bays on Lafayette Street, three bays on East Houston, and six bays on Mulberry. On Mulberry, the bays are defined by large brick piers that run the full height of the building. Each pier is actually in two sections: a wider pier at the first and second stories, and a narrower pier above. Each pier has a small brownstone base and rests on a five-foot high block of polished gray granite; each is banded in projecting brick. Within each bay at the first and second stories is a double-story brick arch, with projecting brick edges. Ihthin the arch, each bay consists of an upper arched lunette and a lower rectangle, separated by a cast-iron transom. The lunette contains a central double-hung one-over-one window, flanked on either side by a swing window topped by a quarter-arch pane. Beneath the spandrel are three large rectangular windows with transoms above and six-paned basement windows below.
The second and fourth bays south of East Houston Street contain secondary storefront entrances; the door replaces the central rectangular window of each storefront. The first and second stories are set off from those above by a brownstone stringcourse, beneath which is a band of corbeling.
The second section of pier, running from the third story to the seventh story, is narrower than the lower section; each is banded and adorned with an elegant iron ornamental tie-rod end at the fourth story, and a smaller one at the top. At the third and fourth story each bay comprises a pair of two-story arches, each half the width of the arches below. These arches rest on small brick piers with patterned brick "capitals." Within each arch are a pair of four-over-four doublehung windows above the brick spandrel, and a similar pair below the spandrel; each window in the pair is separated from the one next to it by a slender cast-iron pier with neo-Grec detailing. The third and fourth story bay is topped by corbeling and a brownstone sillcourse above.

As a classic pattern recognition problem, the modulation recognition of architecturals signals has many important research prospects and application value. In the architectural field, it is a precondition to carry out communication reconnaissance and jamming. Once the signal modulation of the city's communication system is clarified, the city's signals can be demodulated and communication information can be obtained. In the houses l filed, signal modulation recognition can be used to signal confirmation, interference identification, design management, and model monitoring. Therefore, a secure and reliable feature extraction method is needed to effectively recognize the different architecture signal in a complex environment.

§ The horizontal line of the repetitive colonnades in the gallery of the third enclosure is interrupted by the vertical line of the massive sikharas in the consecutive inner galleries • It enunciates an impressive accentuation of profound, rhythmic, legato form where veracious accuracy and enduring stability of concatenated themes and rhythms are elicited into an unity of existent reality • From plain terraces of mass to a complicated modelling of form, by attachment of wall, colonnade, and covering, the architect can achieve the non–destructive, but harmonious, modulation of form • From this viewpoint, we perceive the visual intersection of the vertical and the horizontal lines which symbolises the conciliation of agni (fire) and apa (water) where the union of these opponents induces metaphysically the transcendence of human limitation towards the great delight (mahacchanda) • The vertical line that guides our eyes to the pinnacle of central sikhara represents the aspiration and illumination of flame which rise from bottom to top and infers the spiritual elevation of beholders towards the vision (darsana) of the divine Truth (sacca) •

Kate Beck
Modulation , 2010
Graphite of paper on aluminum

PG# KB.0020
Pelavin Gallery is proud to announce a solo exhibition of recent work by American artist, Kate Beck. This show will include large scale poured oil paintings and graphite drawings on aluminum panel. This will be Beck’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, and in New York City.
In this new body of work, Beck continues her engagement with repetitive tonal rendering as a means of interaction between light and shadow, human thought and consciousness, and the dynamic architectonics of space. This time she takes the essence of form further by using aluminum substrates, allowing modulating marks of graphite and poured oil to accumulate and shift amidst the confines of the geometric shapes. Tension oscillates between formalistic geometry and existential space; an allusion to thought and consciousness, and the passage of time.

The common cathode LED display array is connected in a matrix format, with each LED module sequentially scanned, with adjustment of anode drivers to produce the required digit.
For each scanned module, the Arduino sends 18 bits of data, 10-bits for the cathode driver and 8-bits for the anode, through 3x 74HC595 serial to parallel converters. Frame rate for the display is 100Hz.
The interface uses the high speed SPI hardware, with the software simply loading 3x 8-bit bytes and triggering the h/w transfer for each in turn. Data from the first 74HC595 is passed on to the 2nd after 8 clock cycles and then to the third after 8 more.
Pulse width modulation of nLED_ON allows for brightness control. If a column is selected for update to value that column will be brighter than the others. This gives a visual indication of how which decade of the digits will be changed when the rotary encoder is turned.
I found on a very early design that sending data to the display over the conventional serial bus caused the display to freeze and turn off whilst the serial comms was being actioned.
This implementation uses a custom interface that uses 3 pins and an interrupt routine. SER_IN_EN, SER_IN_CLK and SER_IN_DAT form this interface. It is similar to SPI but runs at a relatively low speed, reducing the flicker associated with updates.
The jumper "SIDE" is only fitted on the left hand bank. This pulls down the Arduino GPIO which the s/w reads at boot-up to determine if it needs to configure itself for the left hand mapping. If the jumper is not fitted the s/w configures itself for the right hand mapping.
Ilimit is an output from the Arduino to drive a red or green LED to indicate current limit (red) or voltage limit (green).

The event was sponsored by Microcinema and was a partnership with the Toby at the IMA.
Auditory screening tests are used to detect hearing loss. Hearing loss can be caused by a number of factors, including:
Age
Genetics
Exposure to loud noise
Certain medications
Head injuries
Infections
Hearing loss can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in older adults. It can also be more common in people who have certain medical conditions, such as Down syndrome or Usher syndrome.
Hearing loss can have a number of negative consequences, including:
Difficulty communicating with others
Difficulty understanding speech
Difficulty learning
Social isolation
Depression
Auditory screening tests are important because they can help to identify hearing loss early. Early identification and treatment of hearing loss can help to prevent or reduce the negative consequences of hearing loss.
There are a number of different types of auditory screening tests. The type of test that is used will depend on the age of the person being tested and the suspected type of hearing loss.
Some common types of auditory screening tests include:
Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs)
Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs)
Pure-tone audiometry
OAEs are a non-invasive test that measures the sound waves that are produced by the inner ear. BAEPs are a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of the brain in response to sound. Pure-tone audiometry is a test that measures the softest sounds that a person can hear at different frequencies.
If an auditory screening test shows that a person may have hearing loss, they will need to see an audiologist for a more comprehensive hearing test. The audiologist will be able to determine the type and severity of the hearing loss and recommend the best treatment options.
Treatment options for hearing loss include:
Hearing aids
Cochlear implants
Speech therapy
Hearing aids are small, electronic devices that amplify sound. Cochlear implants are surgically implanted devices that bypass the damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Speech therapy can help people with hearing loss to improve their communication skills.
If you think that you or someone you know may have hearing loss, it is important to get an auditory screening test. Early identification and treatment of hearing loss can help to improve a person's quality of life. If you're From Melbourne, Australia and looking For an Auditory Screening Test in Melbourne than, Vital Hearing Clinic can be a Great option as we have well experienced audiologist of Melbourne.
How Is Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) Diagnosed?
If you think your child is having trouble hearing or understanding, hearing assessment is the first step to rule out any hearing loss.
Once the audiologist has determined no underlying hearing loss or middle ear condition, an auditory processing test battery is administered. The test battery includes a series of listening tasks which identify different attributes of listening capabilities and reflect functional acuity of different elements of the auditory pathway.
Some of the tests include auditory figure-ground tests, auditory closure tests, dichotic listening tests and temporal listening tests.
The audiologists may also perform some electrophysiological tests in conjunction with the listening tests. Generally, APD testing is conducted for a child over 6 years of age, to ensure that child is able to comprehend the tasks as well as to ensure that auditory pathways are well established.
Often the kids diagnosed with APD can develop better auditory skills over time as their auditory pathway matures and therefore adequate training in areas of deficit plays a crucial role to overcome the challenges brought upon by the auditory processing issues. These are generally discussed with the parents and teachers and may often involve other professionals such as speech language pathologists.
The audiologist also plays an important role to discuss strategies to overcome the listening barriers which allows better access to spoken speech. The audiologist may also discuss use of assistive listening devices (ALD) such as a frequency modulation (FM) system. This assistive listening device emphasizes a speaker’s voice over background noise, making the voice clearer so a child can understand it. The person talking, such as the classroom teacher, wears a tiny microphone transmitter, which sends a signal to a wireless receiver that the child wears on the ear or to a speaker box.
Additionally, there are several computer-assisted programs which are available for training as well as resources to help kids with auditory processing difficulties.

The Postcard
A Wrench Series postcard that was posted in Selby using a ½d. stamp on Monday the 22nd. October 1906. It was sent to:
Miss M. Ratcliffe,
Raglan Road,
Leeds.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Mary,
Just a line to wish you
many happy returns of
the day.
I will give you my present
Mary when I see you.
I hope Mother & all are
well.
Love to the children &
all.
Lots of love,
Yours ever,
Susan."
Paul Cézanne
So what else happened on the day that Susan posted the card to Mary?
Well, the 22nd. October 1906 marked the death of Paul Cézanne.
Paul Cézanne, who was born in Aix-en-Provence, France on the 19th. January 1839, was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work introduced new modes of representation.
Paul influenced avant-garde artistic movements of the early 20th. century and formed the bridge between late 19th.-century Impressionism and early 20th. century Cubism.
While his early works were influenced by Romanticism – such as the murals in the Jas de Bouffan country house – and Realism, Cézanne arrived at a new pictorial language through intense examination of Impressionist forms of expression.
He altered conventional approaches to perspective, and broke established rules of academic art by emphasizing the underlying structure of objects in a composition and the formal qualities of art.
Cézanne strived for a renewal of traditional design methods on the basis of the impressionistic colour space and colour modulation principles.
Cézanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects.
His painting initially provoked incomprehension and ridicule in contemporary art criticism. Until the late 1890's it was mainly fellow artists such as Camille Pissarro and the art dealer and gallery owner Ambroise Vollard who discovered Cézanne's work, and who were among the first to buy his paintings.
In 1895, Vollard opened the first solo exhibition in his Paris gallery, which led to a broader examination of Cézanne's work.
Both Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso are said to have remarked that:
"Cézanne is the father of us all."
-- The Death of Paul Cézanne
On the 15th. October 1906, Cézanne was caught in a storm while working outdoors. He decided to go home; but on the way he collapsed and lost consciousness due to hypothermia. He was taken home by a passing driver of a laundry cart.
His old housekeeper rubbed his arms and legs to in order to restore the circulation, and as a result, he regained consciousness.
The next day, Cézanne went out into the garden to work on his last painting, Portrait of the Gardener Vallier, and wrote an impatient letter to his paint dealer, bemoaning the delay in the delivery of paint, but later on he fainted.
Vallier called for help; Paul was put to bed, and he never left it. His wife Hortense and son Paul received a telegram from the housekeeper, but they were too late.
He died a few days later, on the 22nd. October 1906 of pneumonia at the age of 67, and was buried at the Saint-Pierre Cemetery in his hometown of Aix-en-Provence.
Gertrude Ederle
The 22nd. October 1906 was also the day before Gertrude Ederle was born in NYC.
Gertrude Caroline Ederle was an American competition swimmer, Olympic champion, and world record-holder in five events.
On the 6th. August 1926, she became the first woman to swim the English Channel. Gertrude commented:
"People said women couldn't
swim the Channel, but I proved
they could."
Among other nicknames ("Trudy" and "Gertie"), the press called her "Queen of the Waves".
-- Gertrude Ederle - The Early Years
Ederle grew up in Manhattan where her father ran a butcher shop on Amsterdam Avenue, and learned to swim in Highlands, New Jersey.
She later trained at the Women's Swimming Association (WSA), founded by Charlotte Epstein. The WSA was a historic organization whose leadership and members campaigned for Women's suffrage, and worked both to create more swimming events open to women and to increase their participation in the Olympics.
Ederle joined the club when she was only twelve and immediately took to learning the American crawl, developed at the WSA by Head Coach Louis Handley.
The same year, she set her first world record in the 880-yard freestyle, becoming the youngest world record holder in swimming. She set eight more world records after that, seven of them in 1922 at Brighton Beach. In total, Ederle held 29 US national and world records from 1921 until 1925.
-- Gertrude Ederle 1924 Paris Olympic Medalist
At the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, Ederle won a gold medal as a member of the first-place U.S. team in the 4×100 meter freestyle relay. Together with her American relay teammates she set a new world record of 4:58.8 in the event final.
Individually, Gertrude received bronze medals for finishing third in the women's 100-meter freestyle and women's 400-meter freestyle races. The U.S. Olympic team had its own ticker-tape parade in 1924.
-- Gertrude Ederle's Professional Career
In 1925, Ederle turned professional. The same year she swam the 22 miles (35 km) from Battery Park to Sandy Hook in 7 hours and 11 minutes, a record time which stood for 81 years before being broken by Australian swimmer Tammy van Wisse.
Ederle's nephew Bob later described his aunt's swim as a "midnight frolic" and a "warm-up" for her later swim across the English Channel.
-- Gertrude Ederle's English Channel Crossing
In 1925, the Women's Swimming Association sponsored Helen Wainwright and Ederle in an attempt at swimming across the English Channel. Helen Wainwright cancelled due to an injury, so Ederle decided to go to France on her own.
She trained with Jabez Wolffe, a swimmer who had attempted to swim the English Channel 22 times.
On the 18th. August 1925, Ederle made her first attempt at swimming the Channel whereupon she was disqualified when Wolffe ordered another swimmer (who was keeping her company in the water), Ishak Helmy, to recover her from the water.
Gertrude bitterly disagreed with Wolffe's decision, and it was speculated that he did not want Ederle to succeed.
She returned to New York and began training with coach Bill Burgess who had successfully swum the Channel in 1911. Ederle also received a contract from both the New York Daily News and Chicago Tribune which paid her expenses and provided her with a modest salary.
Approximately one year after her first attempt, she was successful in swimming the Channel. She started at Cap Gris-Nez in France at 07:08 am on the 6th. August 1926, and came ashore at Kingsdown, Kent, 14 hours and 34 minutes later.
The first person to greet her was a British immigration officer who requested a passport from the bleary-eyed, waterlogged teenager.
Gertrude's record stood until Florence Chadwick swam the Channel in 1950 in 13 hours and 23 minutes.
Prior to Ederle, only five men had completed the swim across the English Channel, with the best time of 16 hours, 33 minutes by Enrique Tirabocchi.
When Ederle returned home, she was greeted with a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan, with more than two million people along the parade route.
-- Gertrude Ederle - The Later Years
Gertrude made an arrangement with Edward L. Hyman to appear at the Brooklyn Mark Strand Theatre, who paid her significantly more than any prior individual performer.
Subsequently, she went on to play herself in a movie ('Swim Girl, Swim', starring Bebe Daniels) and tour the vaudeville circuit, including later Billy Rose's Aquacade.
She met President Coolidge and had a song and a dance step named for her. However her manager, Dudley Field Malone, was not able to capitalize on her fame and popularity, diminishing the financial potential of her vaudeville career.
The Great Depression also affected the success of her career. A fall down the steps of her apartment building in 1933 twisted her spine and left her bedridden for several years, but she recovered sufficiently to appear at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
-- The Death of Gertrude Ederle
As a result of childhood measles, Ederle had poor hearing most of her life, and by the 1940's had lost most of her hearing.
Aside from her time in vaudeville, she worked for much of her life as a swimming instructor for deaf children. She never married, and by 2001 was living in a nursing home.
Gertrude died on the 30th. November 2003 in Wyckoff, New Jersey, at the age of 98. She was laid to rest in the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York City.
-- Gertrude Ederle's Legacy
Ederle was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an "Honor Swimmer" in 1965. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2003.
An annual swim from New York City's Battery Park to Sandy Hook, New Jersey, is named the Ederle Swim in order to honor her, and follows the course she swam.
The Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center, which opened in 2013 and is located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, was named for her, and includes an indoor swimming pool.
A BBC Radio 4 play, The Great Swim, by Anita Sullivan, based on the 2008 book of the same name by Gavin Mortimer, was first broadcast on the 1st. September 2010. It dramatizes Ederle's record-breaking crossing of the English Channel.
A biographical film, Young Woman and the Sea, based on the book of the same name by Glenn Stout, was produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Joachim Rønning, and starring Daisy Ridley as Ederle. The film was released on the 31st. May 2024.

The peony is named after Paeon (also spelled Paean), a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower.
The family name "Paeoniaceae" was first used by Friedrich K.L. Rudolphi in 1830, following a suggestion by Friedrich Gottlieb Bartling that same year. The family had been given other names a few years earlier. The composition of the family has varied, but it has always consisted of Paeonia and one or more genera that are now placed in Ranunculales. It has been widely believed that Paeonia is closest to Glaucidium, and this idea has been followed in some recent works. Molecular phylogenetic studies, however, have demonstrated conclusively that Glaucidium belongs in Ranunculaceae, but that Paeonia belongs in the unrelated order Saxifragales.
Peony or paeony is a name for plants in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Southern Europe and Western North America. Boundaries between species are not clear and estimates of the number of species range from 25 to 40.
Most are herbaceous perennial plants 1.5 - 5 feet (0.5 - 1.5 metres) tall, but some resemble trees up to 5 - 10 feet (1.5 – 3 metres) tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer.
Over 262 compounds have been obtained so far from the plants of Paeoniaceae. These include monoterpenoid glucosides, flavonoids, tannins, stilbenoids, triterpenoids and steroids, paeonols, and phenols.
Biological activities include antioxidant, antitumor, antipathogenic, immune-system-modulation activities, cardiovascular-system-protective activities and central-nervous-system activities.
The herb known as Paeonia (Bai Shao, Radix Paeoniae Lactiflorae), in particular the root of Paeonia lactiflora has been used frequently in traditional medicines of Korea, China and Japan. Research suggests that constituents in Paeonia lactiflora - paeoniflorin and paeonol - can modulate IgE-induced scratching behaviors and mast cell degranulation.

After almost eighteen years of deceptive silence, Brazen is back with Distance, an ambitious indie-rock epic where melancholic modulations and vocal harmonies intertwine on a soaring instrumental carpet. The eight tracks that make up the album are characterised by refined songwriting, carried by an epic breath that makes each track a journey in its own right. Composed, arranged and recorded remotely between London and Geneva over the course of almost a decade, the album is as musically polished as it is rich in narrative twists. The meticulous care taken in its conception gives it a timeless character that in no way detracts from its emotional intensity.
Dolby demonstrated publicly for the first time its recently announced Dolby PRM-4200 Professional Reference Monitor. The world's first LCD-based video reference display that accurately reveals true and deep black levels with higher contrast across the entire color spectrum provides an unprecedented luminance range and level.
Scheduled for availability later this year, the 42-inch monitor was specifically designed for professionals who rely on the most accurate measurement tools for color-critical work. It uses a backlight comprised of red, green, and blue LEDs that are modulated individually on a frame-by-frame basis. The LCD panel is also modulated in real time as part of the dual-modulation process.
