# Kolb Studio

The Kolb Studio is a historic structure situated on the edge of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon Village within Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. It was operated from 1904 until 1976 as the photographic studio of brothers Ellsworth and Emery Kolb.

## History

In 1902, Emery C. Kolb (1881–1976) and Ellsworth L. Kolb (1876–1960) first arrived at the south rim of the Grand Canyon. In 1911, they successfully navigated the Colorado River, filming their journey. Built between from 1904 and 1926, the building they constructed was both a family home and photographic studio for the pioneering Kolb brothers. The building has evolved through two major additions and countless minor changes during its century of existence at Grand Canyon.
After the death of Emery Kolb in 1976, the National Park Service acquired the historic studio. During the 1990s, the Grand Canyon Association renovated the building and converted it to its current state. The Grand Canyon Association now operates an art gallery, bookstore and information inside the building. The bookstore's proceeds go to support the building, and the store features a tribute to the Kolbs’ photographs of mule riders at Grand Canyon. The start of the Bright Angel Trail is to the west of the Kolb Studio.

### Restoration project

During 2013 and 2014, the Grand Canyon Association was in the process of restoring and rehabilitating this significant building. Work includes addressing the structural degradation of Kolb Studio.
    a) rectifying drainage problems from public sidewalks and corresponding retaining walls,
    b) stabilizing the concrete entranceway to assure safe continuing access to the facility
    c) repairing and replacing exterior building features (e.g. log and shingle siding, structural beams, gutters, wooden porches) in order to assure long-term structural integrity of the building and
    d) protecting restored exterior surfaces with paints, sealants and other coatings.
# L. D. M. Sweat Memorial Galleries

The L. D. M. Sweat Memorial Galleries are a series of art galleries that are part of the Portland Museum of Art, which is located in the Arts District of Portland, Maine.

## History

The L. D. M. Sweat Memorial Galleries were built in 1911 by Maine architect John Calvin Stevens. They were named to honor Lorenzo De Medici Sweat, the husband of Portland Museum of Art benefactor, Margaret Jane Mussey Sweat (1823–1908). The building was designed to complement the Federal style architecture of the McLellan House, the oldest building of the museum complex. The McLellan House and Sweat Galleries were closed in 1980 for the construction of the Payson Building. They remained closed until October 5, 2002, after a two-year restoration.

## Collection focus

The primary focus is on 19th- and 20th-century American art — sculpture, furniture, decorative arts and paintings, with specific emphasis on a large collection of works by Winslow Homer. As stated by the museum's board, the works of art in the galleries are an attempt to:
   ... reflect the changing customs, tastes, and concerns of Americans who created, purchased, and commissioned them. In these galleries, you will travel back through the history of art in the United States. The journey begins with works created on the eve of the 20th century that look back to the United States' rich history and forward to the challenges of a new era. These give way to the lush portraits, still lifes, and exotic scenes that represent the height of academic painting in America and the tastes of a cultivated and wealthy leisure class.

## Works in collection

The galleries feature many 19th- and 20th-century American artists, including:
* Benjamin Paul Akers
* Hiram Powers
* Franklin Simmons
* Jim Dine
* Marsden Hartley
* Winslow Homer
* Jasper Johns
* Robert Motherwell
* Claes Oldenburg
* Robert Rauschenberg
* Alison Saar
* Andy Warhol
* Andrew Wyeth

## Publicity

In 2001, there was an open house at the galleries, where modern artists created works to enhance the gallery collection and yet fit in with the existing art and decor. Artists involved in the project included Jonathan Bailey, Paul D'Amato, Tonee Harbert, Rose Marasco, Tanja Alexia Hollander and Bernard C. Meyers. The first exhibition was new work by Sa Schloff.
The galleries have been featured in the Portland Journal of Antiquities, as well.

The ordinance was approved. In May 1967, the Novato High School Archaeology Club published their official “Report on the Excavation of Marin – 374." This led to a write-up in the December 1967 issue of the magazine “Scientific American.” Club member, Pete Moore advocated for a location to house the artifacts unearthed during the club's digs. In 1967, the Museum of the American Indian opened its doors.

# Shigeichi Negishi

Shigeichi Negishi (November 29, 1923 – January 26, 2024) was a Japanese engineer who invented the earliest prototype of the karaoke machine. Using a speaker, a microphone, and a tape deck, he was able to simultaneously amplify his voice and play an instrumental backing track. Although Daisuke Inoue receives more international recognition for a similar invention, the All-Japan Karaoke Industrialist Association recognizes Negishi as the first among five independent inventors of the karaoke machine.

## Biography

Negishi was born in the ward of Itabashi in Tokyo, Japan on November 29, 1923. His mother ran a tobacco store and his father was a public official who oversaw regional elections. As a child, he made cardboard cityscapes and gained a reputation for studiousness, winning a national calligraphy competition at the age of eleven. Negishi studied economics at Hosei University in Tokyo and was drafted into the Japanese Army during the Second World War. After Japan was defeated, he became a prisoner of war and was detained for two years in Singapore. After his release in 1947, Negishi sold Olympus cameras and later founded the consumer electronics company Nichiden Kogyo in 1956.
Eleven years later, an employee supposedly teased Negishi for his bad voice while he was singing to himself at work. Believing he would sound better with a backing track, he and his staff wired together a speaker, microphone, and tape deck. To test the machine, Negishi used an 8-track instrumental rendering of the song "Mujo no Yume" by Yoshio Kodama. To market the product, Negishi partnered with a friend who worked at the Japan Broadcasting Corporation and travelled throughout Japan, giving demonstrations. After Negishi found a distributor, the machine was dubbed the "Sparko Box" as the word karaoke sounded similar to kan'oke, the Japanese word for coffin. Marketed under various names, Negishi sold about 8,000 Sparko Boxes. In 1975, Negishi dissolved his karaoke business after facing difficulties and fully retired around 1993. He never patented Sparko Box, and other inventors such as Daisuke Inoue have created similar products, also receiving credit for inventing the karaoke machine. His daughter expressed that he was not bothered by the lack of a patent that could have made him wealthy, stating that her father had "felt a lot of pride in seeing his idea evolve into a culture of having fun through song around the world."
Negishi died due to natural causes following a fall on January 26, 2024, at the age of 100.
# Marquette Maritime Museum

The Marquette Maritime Museum is a museum and lighthouse located in Marquette in the U.S. state of Michigan. Since 2002, the museum has been associated with the Marquette Harbor Light, a lighthouse that serves traffic in Marquette Harbor and adjacent waters of Lake Superior. The facility offers tours of the lighthouse, which remains an active aid to navigation overseen by the United States Coast Guard, and the museum specializes in the maritime history of Marquette, Lake Superior, and the iron ore trade. Lake Superior is one of the five Great Lakes.

## Description

The Marquette City Water Works, a Richardsonian Romanesque building of Lake Superior sandstone, was built in 1891 during the Marquette Iron Range iron ore boom. The Marquette Maritime Museum Association was founded in 1980 as the old Water Works was nearing the end of its useful life. In 1984, the Association commenced Museum operations in the Water Works. In 2002, the Museum signed lease papers with the Coast Guard to offer guided, supervised public tours of the Marquette Harbor Light. In July 2016, on the 150th anniversary of the lighthouse, the Coast Guard gave the ownership deed of Lighthouse Point to the City of Marquette. Lighthouse Park is now open to the public but the Museum still offers guided tours mid-May to mid-October. The museum and lighthouse tour schedule and admission fee information can be found at mqtmaritimemuseum.com.
The Museum includes a display of Fresnel lenses. This 19th-century lens technology used carefully fitted glass prisms to mathematically focus a beam of light onto the sometimes-stormy waters of the Great Lakes. Most Fresnel lenses have been rendered obsolete by high-intensity sealed beam lamps, so the lighthouses that formerly used them have transferred or lent them to the Museum.
Outdoor features of the Marquette Maritime Museum include a harborside memorial to the World War II United States Navy submarines USS Darter and USS Dace, two attack submarines credited with a key role in the 1944 Battle of Leyte Gulf. These two submarines are honored here because David McClintock (Darter) was a Marquette resident. Commander (later Captain) McClintock was awarded the Navy Cross for the Leyte Gulf service performed by him, his crew, and his ship.
The museum is located at 300 North Lakeshore Boulevard, Marquette, Michigan 49855.

# Cabarrus County Public Library

The Cabarrus County Public Library is a department of the Cabarrus County Government in North Carolina and serves a population of nearly 200,000 individuals.

## About

The Cabarrus County Library has locations in Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, Midland and Mt. Pleasant.
Records show that more than one out of three citizens of the county are registered users who have access to over two hundred and fifty thousand books, magazines, audio and video materials as well as digital collections that include audio, video and book selections. The library also provides such services as educational and entertainment programming, instructional classes, children's activities and other offerings that promotes the enjoyment of reading and supports pursuit of lifelong learning.

## History

The very first library for Cabarrus County was established on July 8, 1902 in Concord. This first library was in a small frame house located on Spring Street near the present day Coltrane-Webb elementary school. Mayfield Cole was named the first librarian with a salary of $8 per month; the library had very limited operating hours and books were acquired via donations from local citizens and it was proclaimed that the library owned a set of encyclopedias as well as a collection of Shakespeare's works. The library was governed by a board of directors that was composed of various local business men and/or their wives. This original library closed after just a year or two of being in operation.
In 1911, a second attempt at organizing a public library met with greater success. The Board of Aldermen for the city of Concord named a Board of Trustees who became the governing body for the library. Various book clubs were in existence in the community and their desire for reading material was a part of the foundation for library services in Cabarrus County. These clubs banded together to form the Concord Library Association and citizens were charged dues in order to have borrowing privileges at the library which was located on the second floor of the Phifer Building. Interest was low as the area was still mainly rural and those living in Concord were generally textile mill workers earning low wages; education and reading were low priorities for those citizens.
The library operated out of space given to them within various buildings in the city of Concord and eventually influential citizens urged the board of trustees to borrow money to buy a building dedicated solely to a library. James W. Cannon, founder of Cannon Mills gave $300 towards the purchase of a building for the library and in early 1913, the board purchased a small brick building located on South Union Street for a total cost of $3000. This building was remodeled in 1916 and included the installation of a skylight and "quiet" signs.
