SUMMARY
=======
San Jose (; Spanish for 'Saint Joseph'; Spanish: [saŋ xoˈse]), officially the City of San José, is an economic, cultural and political center of Silicon Valley, and the largest city in Northern California (both in population and area). With an estimated 2017 population of 1,035,317, it is the third-most populous city in California (after Los Angeles and San Diego) and the tenth-most populous in United States. Located in the center of the Santa Clara Valley, on the southern shore of San Francisco Bay, San Jose covers an area of 179.97 square miles (466.1 km2). San Jose is the county seat of Santa Clara County, the most affluent county in California and one of the most affluent counties in the United States. San Jose is the most populous city in both the San Francisco Bay Area and the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland Combined Statistical Area, which contain 7.7 million and 8.7 million people respectively.San Jose is a global city, notable as a center of innovation, for its affluence, Mediterranean climate, and extremely high cost of living. San Jose's location within the booming high tech industry, as a cultural, political, and economic center has earned the city the nickname Capital of Silicon Valley. San Jose is one of the wealthiest major cities in the United States and the world, and has the third highest GDP per capita in the world (after Zürich, Switzerland and Oslo, Norway), according to the Brookings Institution. The San Jose Metropolitan Area has the most millionaires and the most billionaires in the United States per capita. With a median home price of $1,085,000, San Jose has the most expensive housing market in the country and the fifth most expensive housing market in the world, according to the 2017 Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey. Major global tech companies including Cisco Systems, eBay, Adobe Systems, PayPal, Brocade, Samsung, Acer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Western Digital maintain their headquarters in San Jose, in the center of Silicon Valley.
Before the arrival of the Spanish, the area around San Jose was inhabited by the Tamien nation of the Ohlone indigenous peoples of California. San Jose was founded on November 29, 1777, as the Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe, the first city founded in the Californias. It then became a part of Mexico in 1821 after the Mexican War of Independence. Following the American Conquest of California during the Mexican–American War, the territory was ceded to the United States in 1848. After California achieved statehood two years later, San Jose became the state's first capital. Following World War II, San Jose experienced an economic boom, with a rapid population growth and aggressive annexation of nearby cities and communities carried out in the 1950s and 1960s. The rapid growth of the high-technology and electronics industries further ...

Memory, family stories, cultural change and a world filled with color serve as inspiration for San Francisco Bay Area artist/counselor, Marion Coleman. For over thirty years Coleman worked in youth and family services and now she combines this experience with her art to create work that explores memory, social change and community.
Coleman's work has been exhibited in the United States and internationally. She has numerous private commissions and has completed public art commissions for Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center, Castro Valley Library and Richmond, CA Civic Center. She will begin a new commission for a pocket park in the Bayview Hunters Point community of San Francisco that will be completed in 2012. She was also a semi-finalist for the Bayview Library renovation.
Coleman received a 2009 Alameda County Arts Leadership Award. She also received a 2007 Creative Work Fund Grant to collaborate with two other quilt artists and the Bay Area Black United Fund for a project on African American health disparities.

Where Wearable-Tech is Going & Arduino Epicness! Arduino.org & Linino.org Ed-Manager, Tenaya Hurst
Tenaya Hurst, Education Accounts Manager for Arduino.org and Linino.org
An event of the NYC Robotics community
Hosted by Eric David Benari
Join us for an exclusive meetup evening to see the best creations from a year of workshops, hackathons, and makerfaires. Try the Rogue Making wearable tech activity Tenaya brings to every event and see what the excitement is all about.
Tenaya's unique perspective comes from teaching students in workshops all over the U.S. (and Guatemala!) and also interacting with the adult IoT community at conferences and expos. Whomever she reaches, she evangelizes for everyone to wear LEDs! Just kidding, the idea is for people to have the chance to be makers at any age, which is character building, and gives those with the affinity for electronics and programming an opportunity to get started.
We know it's Christmas week, but don't miss this rare cross-country visit from the LED queen! Kids are welcome!
Tenaya Hurst, Education Accounts Manager for Arduino.org and Linino.org
Remember Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus? Tenaya Hurst is kind of like that, but from California and super passionate about electricity and making!
Tenaya is a Rogue Maker. From finding out about the Arduino microcontroller technology on March 16th 2013, she's taken off with the electronic fever of making. Originally from Berkeley California, Tenaya attended Indiana University Bloomington obtaining a B.A. in theatre, geology, and anthropology as well as being awarded Phi Beta Kappa. Many years of successful theatre and film work lead Tenaya to work for the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose where she first discovered Arduino and Make magazine. At her first Makerfaire, Tenaya found a position as education accounts manager with Arduino.org and Linino.org microcontrollers for the Internet of Things. She also created her own company, Rogue Making, to teach maker workshops in Wearable Technology and more! Lastly, check out Tenaya’s music videos on Youtube, “I’m so Maker” “Happy Making” and “This Is How We Make”

ARTIST STATEMENT
My recent work leans toward melancholy and this reflects in its intimate character. I make figurative oil paintings: Night desert landscapes populated by a single tree and animals (dogs and birds) who obediently pose against a crescent moon. Accentuating light and shadow to add a theatrical quality with a warm palette of colors, Most of the characters in my paintings show some peculiarities, like missing limbs or some longer than normal (for me this represents the attempt to exceed their condition), sometimes unfinished, but even in this state they stay in balance, like they are floating supported by the space that contains them. I include empty bowls, cups, everyday utensils in the background to accentuate the isolation from human contact or as symbolic elements. The titles are very important to me. I think they should be another poetic element and not just furnished the painting whit an anecdotal remark. My paintings are constructed around reality and perception always with an emphasis in poetry. Im interested in exploring how we naturally tend to idealize, how we transform reality when our experiences suddenly become memories.

SUMMARY
=======
The history of the United States from 1865 until 1918 covers the Reconstruction Era, the Gilded Age, and the Progressive Era, and includes the rise of industrialization and the resulting surge of immigration in the United States. This article focuses on political, economic, and diplomatic history.
This period of rapid economic growth and soaring prosperity in the North and the West (but not in the South) saw the U.S. become the world's dominant economic, industrial, and agricultural power. The average annual income (after inflation) of non-farm workers grew by 75% from 1865 to 1900, and then grew another 33% by 1918.With a decisive victory in 1865 over Southern secessionists in the Civil War, the United States became a united and powerful nation with a strong national government. Reconstruction brought the end of legalized slavery plus citizenship for the former slaves, but their new-found political power was rolled back within a decade, and they became second-class citizens under a Jim Crow system of deeply pervasive segregation that would stand for the next 80–90 years. Politically, during the Third Party System and Fourth Party System the nation was mostly dominated by Republicans (except for two Democratic presidents). After 1900 and the assassination of President William McKinley, the Progressive Era brought political, business, and social reforms (e.g., new roles for and government expansion of education, higher status for women, a curtailment of corporate excesses, and modernization of many areas of government and society). The Progressives worked through new middle-class organizations to fight against the corruption and behind-the-scenes power of entrenched, state political party organizations and big-city machines. They demanded—and won—women's right to vote, and the nationwide prohibition of alcohol 1920-1933.
In an unprecedented wave of European immigration, 27.5 million new arrivals between 1865 and 1918 provided the labor base necessary for the expansion of industry and agriculture, as well as the population base for most of fast-growing urban America.
By the late nineteenth century, the United States had become a leading global industrial power, building on new technologies (such as the telegraph and steel), an expanding railroad network, and abundant natural resources such as coal, timber, oil, and farmland, to usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.
There were also two very important wars. The U.S. easily defeated Spain in 1898, which unexpectedly brought a small empire. Cuba quickly was given independence, as well as the Philippines (in 1946). Puerto Rico (and some smaller islands) became permanent U.S. possessions, as did Alaska (added by purchase in 1867). The independent Republic of Hawaii voluntarily joined the U.S. as a territory in 1898.
The United States tried and failed to broker a peace settlement for World War I, then entered the war after Germany launched a submarine campaign against U.S. merchant ships that were supplying Germany's enemy countries. The publicly stated goals were to uphold American honor, crush German militarism, and reshape the postwar world. After a slow mobilization, the U.S. helped bring about a decisive Allied Forces victory by supplying badly needed financing, food, and millions of fresh and eager soldiers.
