<br>The Jacob’s Pillow Archives document the history of Jacob’s Pillow and the artists who have contributed to its legacy, with particular emphasis on Ted Shawn, Ted Shawn’s Men Dancers, and the Denishawn Company. The collections include audiotapes, board minutes, books, correspondence, costumes, films, photographs, posters, programs, scrapbooks, [Derila Neck Relief Pillow](https://playmobilinfo.com/index.php/The_Derila_Memory_Foam_Pillow_Diaries) videos, and more. The Archives is one component of the Pillow’s Preservation Program, which also documents the ongoing activities of the Festival and organizes exhibits exploring various aspects of dance history. Of particular interest is the online feature known as Jacob’s Pillow Dance Interactive. Documenting hundreds of artists who have appeared at the Pillow from the 1930s to the present day, this resource offers carefully-chosen excerpts from the Archives’ extensive video collection accompanied by contextual information, plus an extensive section of multimedia essays that include talks, photos, and other exclusive content organized into various themes. The center for most of the Pillow’s preservation activities is Blake’s Barn, an 18th century building that was relocated to the Pillow grounds and reconfigured specifically for this purpose.<br>
<br>Blake’s Barn includes a large exhibition gallery, an outdoor area for lectures and talks called Sommerspace, and The Norton Owen Reading Room. In the Reading Room visitors can watch videos, see exhibits from the Archives’ permanent collection, browse the library, and access other materials from the Archives. Tour the Jacob’s [Derila Neck Relief Pillow](http://gitea.dctpay.com/amparo53677266) Archives and the Gotta Dance, Too! Materials in the Jacob’s Pillow Archives tell stories of various cultural groups from around the world. One particularly strong area of holdings reflects an extensive history of presenting performers of the African Diaspora since 1942, culminating in the Pillow’s recognition as a site on the African American Heritage Trail in 2007, as well as the creation of a brochure honoring dancers of traditions from the African Diaspora who performed at the Pillow. The trail commemorates sites in the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area and is recognized by a bronze plaque at the Welcome Center. See the new Dance of the African Diaspora theme on Jacob’s Pillow Dance Interactive for more on artists of the African Diaspora at Jacob’s Pillow. The Jacob’s Pillow Archives catalog is accessible through our online database which allows searches by keywords such as dance title or name of choreographer, company, composer, performer, etc.. Some items in the Pillow Archives, including thousands of programs and photographs, can be viewed online. Other materials, particularly films/videos and archival collections, must be viewed on-site in the Norton Owen Reading Room. Since 1996, Jacob’s Pillow has been a member of the Dance Heritage Coalition, an alliance of major dance collections formed to address nationwide dance documentation and preservation issues. Now integrated into the national service organization Dance/USA, the Coalition includes other leading repositories such as the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and the Harvard Theatre Collection.<br>[wayfair.com](http://wayfair.com/home/free-shipping)
<br>Did you ever notice that no male doctor ever sat on a female patient's bed on "Ben Casey"? Or that, for a long time, all TV doctors were men? Today, TV doctors - male and female - are more likely to be flawed characters. And while shows hire medical experts as technical advisers, writers aren't under any obligation to make any changes based on the suggestions of those pros. It wasn't always that way. In 1951 when the first TV medical drama, "City Hospital," aired (and in the 1960s when "Ben Casey" was popular), the American Medical Association was invested in portraying medical accuracy, not preserving the story line. And for a few decades it was within the organization's right to demand script changes over concerns ranging from proper decorum to the way TV surgeons and doctors held their instruments. And in return, they'd stamp the show with the AMA seal of approval (shown at the end). Let's look at "ER," for instance: "ER" debuted in 1994, and by 2001 one out of five doctors reported their patients were asking not only about diseases highlighted on the show, but also about specific treatments used in episode story lines.<br>
<br>They're losing a lot of their fictional patients. Maybe because they're also getting a lot of things wrong. In the name of science, researchers at Dalhousie University watched every episode of "Grey's Anatomy," "House," "Private Practice" and the final five seasons of "ER" - and they found that in those 327 episodes, 59 patients experienced a seizure. In those 59 cases, doctors and nurses incorrectly performed first aid treatments to seizing patients 46 percent of the time (including putting an object, [Derila for Better Sleep](https://git.fracturedcode.net/henrystolp290)™ Memory Foam Pillow such as a tongue depressor, in the seizing patient's mouth). It's surprising more patients in TV emergency rooms don't die while being treated for a seizure.S. In reality, there's one more important directive when caring for a person having a seizure: Prevent injuries. For instance, [Derila Customer Reviews](http://shinhwaspodium.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=4182133) Neck Support loosen clothing, and never restrain or put anything in a seizing person's mouth while convulsions are happening. Once any convulsions have stopped, turn the person onto his or her side - a small but important step to help prevent choking.<br>
