Hoping it will be a fun participation - I am in Room 7 - Mind Spring - Mill Neck manor Magical Miniature Garden - Yep, that's right a room of miniature art - It is the story of Pinks, a magical creature who dwells on the grounds of Mill Neck, enjoying the beauty of her surroundings. She noticed that some of her flowering friends would go missing from the gardens but she would see them through the windows of the big house. Pinks wondered why they would leave the open air and go inside. So one day, using her magic, she turned herself into a beautiful flower and jumped into a basket laying on the ground with some of her flowering friends and they were swept away, "Inside" thought Pinks, "we're going inside!" The basket was placed in the refrigerator of Room #6. "Well it sure is dark in here. We need some lights my friends!" and suddenly, like a million stars the darkness became light. Pinks noticed that outside looked a little sterile so she opened the door and ventured onto the counter. "This looks like it could be a very cozy place", she thought and with a magical burst of energy, grass began to creep across the counters. "That's much nicer", she thought. She jumped over to the window and threw it open wide. "Elves, fairies come join me. Let's Party!" And in a flash, all of Pink's garden friends came inside, helping turn the counter into a garden and the walls into a selfie art gallery. These moments of horticultural revelry happen in seconds of human time, which is hours of fairy time, and Debra Ann Kasimakis has frozen such a party for you to view.
Come in to Pinks Party and let your "Mind Spring" into this miniature fantasy. Mill Neck manor magical miniature garden.

ATTENTION 
HIcksville Chamber of Commerce Members

As members of the Hicksville Chamber of Commerce, we are informing you of an opportunity to enhance your standing in the community by choosing to make a donation to the Hicksville Memorial Fountain Fund. We are hoping each one of you will be enthusiastic enough to make a $100 donation to this cause. Our timeline calls for us to create the new sculpture for the fountain in the next year or so. That successful completion depends on a responsibility of ownership, as demonstrated in the form of supporting donations by Chamber members and the residents of our community. Together, we can accomplish amazing things. You may also want to hold your own awareness fundraiser to help us attain our goal.

Benoît Mandelbrot, Novel Mathematician, Dies at 85

 =============
Benoît Mandelbrot
Novel Mathematician, Dies at 85
"For most of his career, Dr. Mandelbrot had a reputation as an outsider to the mathematical establishment. From his perch as a researcher for I.B.M. in New York, where he worked for decades before accepting a position at Yale University, he noticed patterns that other researchers may have overlooked in their own data, then often swooped in to collaborate.
“He knew everybody, with interests going off in every possible direction,” Professor Mumford said. “Every time he gave a talk, it was about something different.”"

Trump on the Ocean

Trump on the Ocean

                  “Like a gift from God”
                      Bernadette Castro
                        Commissioner
                       New York State Offiice                              
                      of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation 

What Robert Moses, political and parks titan,
could have claimed in 1929
opening Jones Beach State Park
for millions of mothers, fathers, children,
grandmothers, granddads, cousins, aunts, uncles
coming from Freeport, from Farmingdale, from Oyster Bay,
coming from Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx
Art-Deco style cast stone planters and garbage can covers,
raised seam copper roof of Pitch-Putt booth,
ship’s capstan fountain, slate mosaics,
curved steps to beach.
“Today, Jones Beach State Park remains one of the greatest achievements
in twentieth century public works construction.”
What would have been Robert Moses’ expletives gazing upward?
Trump on the Ocean
Tots—brothers, sisters, playmates--
little laborers on their knees,
scoop sand with yellow toy shovels,
canals for surf waters to surge into,
filling big holes with tiny lakes
Sanitation workers, truck drivers,
cops, teachers, doctors,
soldiers on leave with their lovers,
arms around each other on seashell-patterned beach blankets.
Treks over sand to boardwalk concessions,
mustard-decorated hotdogs enmeshed in sauerkraut
75,000 square-foot, basemented, two-story, 28-foot high ornateness—
Trump on the Ocean
Fishermen and women
wade surf in high slickers,
cast long lines
for strikes by fierce fighting “blues”
Bird watchers focus binoculars on terns,
origami birds, cut-out sleek wings’, forked tails,
hovering over breakers.
Focus on gannets migrating half-mile out,
enamel plumaged,
long wings ebony tipped,
plunging
Wedding receptions
$500 per plate,
valet parking .
Trump on the Ocean
Summer Triangle--
Vega, Altair, Deneb
first magnitude stars.
Winter sky:
Canis Major, his dog’s eye first magnitude.
Orion, the vast-sized hunter,
stars Rigel and Betelgeuse first magnitude.-
All diminished in one man’s electrical blazing—
Trump on the Ocean
