_The Evening Post_, 27 February 1925:
      LOCAL AND GENERAL…
  A #Wellington periodical recently published #photographs showing a number of infantile paralysis #patients who are under treatment at the Wellington Hospital. At yesterday’s meeting of the Hospital Board, exception to the photographs being published was taken by Mr. C. H. Chapman, who wanted to know who gave permission for the photographs to be taken. He voiced his strong disapproval of such photographs being permitted to be taken, and said he hoped that whoever had taken them would never be permitted to do so again. The chairman (Mr. F. Castle) said as far as he knew no member of the board gave authority. Mr. C. M. Luke stated that his committee intended to bring up the matter at its next meeting.

Did you know? The #UnitedChurch once operated a home and school in #VictoriaBC for #Chinese and #Japanese girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional #archivist and member of #FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch in Victoria, has recently completed a #digitization project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online. It opens to us a now distant world and its concomitant issues.

#FirstMetArchives has been privileged to care for two important historical documents from the #OrientalHomeAndSchool. The first is the #ChineseRescueHome Advisory Committee minute book, 1896-1915. The second is the Oriental Home and School album, a fascinating assemblage of 95 photographs of the Oriental Home community, mainly between 1907 and 1916.

The Oriental Home and School album is now available online. It is part of First Met’s #historic #photographs digitization project that involved digital scanning and description of over 500 images from our #archival collections. These photographs are available to the public on #Flickr. The Oriental Home and School album is one of ten sets of First Met’s #HistoricalPhotographs available for public viewing.

First Met gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support of the #BritishColumbia #History #Digitization Program (2015), sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, #UBC.

A Racist #Harvard Scientist Commissioned Photos of Enslaved People. One Possible Descendant Wants to Reclaim Their Story.

The images are among the oldest known #photographs of enslaved people in America.

Tamara Lanier’s fight to gain control of them shows there is no clear system in place to repatriate remains of captive Africans or objects associated with them.

Black and white square image with a partial view of Betty Jennings on the left, in the background, inserting cards and Frances Bilas removing the cards that have been read in the foreground on the right. In addition to the ENIAC Input and Output System with card readers you see the power plug ins to mounted on the wall behind the machines.

Guess I should post a new introduction since I moved servers and this account has no posts at all 😛

I'm a developer/coder. I used to be very much into mobile development (both #iOS and #Android) using #Swift and #Kotlin. Now my main area of interest is digital creativity using #AI to generate art, text, and music.

I don't post a lot generally, but do daily postings of interesting papers from the cs.CV category on arXiv.org. So first thing in the morning, there will be a barrage of posts from me and then probably nothing much for the rest of the day 🙂

I also post a daily set of images based on my #StableDiffusion prompt of the day — I generate a bunch of images through the day based on a single prompt, pick the four best images (according to me) and post them the next day.

Other than that, I do boost a lot — #MachineLearning and #DeepLearning, #Writing, #AIArt, #Photographs, #Humour are probably the main topics of interest for me. But if I find anything interesting in the areas of #Books, #TV, #Movies, I'd boost those too 🙂

I did an #introduction on another server but I changed accounts so thought it might be worth redoing one. I am a #scientist with a focus on the #builtenvironment, we are often given different names but many know us as #buildingscientists. I am interested in #IndoorAirQuality, #Microbiology and how people interact with buildings including #productivity. I have a background in #biotechnology and #microbiology with interests in #fungi and #biodeteoriation. As a hobby I take #photographs and #blog.
