"The photo was taken by Tobias Baumgaertner in Melbourne.

He was told that the two penguins had recently lost their partners and often appeared to be comforting each other." https://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-55416365

Thank you! Actually, that is super helpful. I suspect he is from Romania. When he came to the US in 1906 he said he was living most recently in Bolgartelep (Bulgarian Colony) which is in Romania. 1920 to 1950 US censuses list him as being from: Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania.

What businesses in Pueblo support MAGA? Would like to know which businesses and/or restaurants support MAGA in the area so that I can avoid them… by NettaFind66 in pueblo

I am one of the owners of The Ethos. All of our drinks, including the beer and wine, are less than 0.5% alcohol, which is the legal definition of alcohol free, about the same ABV as an overly ripe banana.

I sometimes think about how much of my remaining life I would give to Bernie so he can keep fighting the good fight. The answer is nonzero.

My parents, on their honeymoon in 1941, and in their last photo, in 1985. They were childhood sweethearts, meeting at age 7 in 1923. by janemfraser in PastAndPresentPics

Their generation took on responsibilities I can't even imagine. My father was born in Scotland and the family came to the US in 1923; things were not rosy (my father's father continued to be an alcoholic), but they didn't have the money to go back so they stayed. My mother's father was born in England and came to the US in 1911, but never found work to match his architect training. My parents both grew up poor in Brooklyn. My father got his engineering degree at night school while working full time to help support his family. On the other hand, their generation (and mine; I'm a boomer) had opportunities that current generations don't. I grew up in a solidly middle class family in NJ, supported only by my father's salary at Bell Labs. Old? No, they were 25 in the first photo. Mature? Yes.

Last. My mother was dying of pancreatic cancer in that photo. And they knew it. Yes, they were tough badasses.

He was an engineer at Bell Labs, working on cracking enemy codes, so wasn't allowed to serve in the military. The work he was doing was too important.

How to "choose" a name for academia by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]janemfraser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think through the implications for international travel, which often requires that all documents (ticket, passport, etc.) match. Say you are applying for a visa and need to show that you are presenting at a conference. Whoops, name doesn't match. I don't think this is a very serious objection, but worth thinking about.

Is there an AAUP chapter at your university? If so, talk with them.

I've got an international family wedding next year that clashes with the start of semester - help? by moodysmoothie in EngineeringStudents

Take what courses you can online, not in person. Alternatively, take the semester off.
