The San Quentin Project collects a largely unseen visual record of
daily life inside one of America's oldest and largest prisons,
demonstrating how this archive of the state is now being used to
teach visual literacy and process the experience of incarceration.
In 2011, Nigel Poor-artist, educator, and cocreator of the
acclaimed podcast Ear Hustle-began teaching a history of
photography class through the Prison University Project at San
Quentin State Prison. Neither books nor cameras were allowed into
the facility, so an unorthodox course with a range of
inventivemapping exercises ensued: students crafted "verbal
photographs" of memories for which they had no visual
documentation, and annotated iconic images from different artists.
After the first semester, Poor says, "one student told me he could
now see fascination everywhere in San Quentin." When Poor received
access to thousands of negatives in the prison's archive, made by
corrections officers of a former era, these images of San Quentin's
everyday occurrences soon became launchpads for her students' keen
observations. From the banal to the brutal, to distinct moments of
respite, the pictures in this archive gave those who were involved
in the project the opportunity to share their stories and
reflections on incarceration.
According to its chemical composition, honey is a complex mixture
of over 70 ingredients, which enter honey in a variety of ways. Not
only do the different types of honey differ, but the honey within
each species differs in its composition depending on its herbal and
geographical origin, climatic conditions, the type of bees, and the
work of the beekeeper. In this book, Chapters One provides an
assessment of geographical origins of honey by the use of
chemometrics. Chapter Two presents the profile of physicochemical
parameters of 40 samples of the black locust honey from
Krapina-Zagorje region monitored by the season. Chapter Three
examines the prebiotic and probiotic properties of honey. Chapter
Four gives an updated review of traditional and modern uses of
honey. Chapter Five explore the actual knowledge on honeys
properties, in terms of cellular and molecular effects induced by
the bees products on skin care and wound management.
