The American Museum of Natural History Announces THE POWER OF POISON

SPECIAL EXHIBITION ON DEADLY, POWERFUL, EVEN LIFESAVING POISON OPENS NOVEMBER 16, 2013

The American Museum of Natural History (www.amnh.org) announces The Power of Poison, a new exhibition that explores poison’s paradoxical roles in nature, human health and history, literature, and myth. Whether as a defense against predators, a source of magical strength, or a lethal weapon used as lifesaving medical treatment, the story of poison is surprising at every turn. Inviting visitors to explore some of history’s most puzzling poisoning cases, the exhibition also includes an interactive section where eyewitness accounts and clues can be used to solve poisoning mysteries and a theater where live presenters share dramatic stories of poisonings and forensic detection.

Ubiquitous in the natural world, poison can be found in the brightly hued longwing butterflies of Central and South America or the seemingly innocuous skin of a mango in a New York City kitchen. In both cases, the toxins are part of a dynamic defense system that plants and animals deploy against predators. (In  fact, many familiar foods we encounter daily—cinnamon, chili peppers, coffee, and tea—owe their taste, smell, or stimulant effects to defensive chemicals that can be toxic in large doses.)

Examining a variety of evolutionary strategies—including the linked escalations in the strength of a predator’s poison and

This skull of an eastern diamondback rattlesnake, which will be on view in The Power of Poison @AMNH. Chesek

the resistance of its prey—the exhibition will highlight many toxic species, including live golden poison frogs, in a walk-through diorama of Colombia’s dense Chocó lowland forest.

Humans have long marveled at the secrets of poisons and sought to detect their presence and protect against their toxic powers, as many fascinating artifacts on view will reveal. Prized objects included celadon dishes, believed to detect poisons; fossilized shark teeth, thought to be dragon tongues that could “purify” food of deadly compounds; and fossilized sea animals called crinoids, believed to be antidotes to common poisons.

For millennia, plant and animal toxins also have been used in treatments for a myriad of medical conditions. Studying how poisons affect human cells also helps scientists figure out how to protect, repair, and heal them. For example, yew trees are so poisonous that eating a handful of needles can kill a person, yet a compound found in the bark has been proven to be an effective anti-cancer agent. The search for new medicines has barely begun, with thousands of toxins now being studied as potentially lifesaving treatments.

The pursuit of poison’s toxic powers is at the heart of countless fairy tales and legends from around the world. The exhibition features several, from the myth of Hercules and the Hydra, animated and projected onto ceramic Greek urns, to life-sized dioramas of famous stories, including the trio of witches in William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Others, such as the diorama illustrating the traditional tale of China’s first emperor ingesting mercury to gain immortality, attest to the

Golden poison frog

fascination with poisons across place and time.

A gallery of history’s most mysterious poisonings, from Cleopatra’s legendary snakebite to Napoleon’s alleged death by arsenic, leads visitors into the Detecting Poison theater. Here presenters use props, animations, and audience volunteers, to explore a real-world poisoning case that highlights the dramatic advances in toxicology and forensics since the 19th century. Next, visitors encounter large-scale tableaux of other puzzling cases and can solve the mysteries using an iPad game. For instance, visitors may discover what poisoned Captain James Cook and two naturalists aboard Cook’s ship in 1774.

The Power of Poison will open on November 16, 2013, and remain on view until August 10, 2014. The exhibition is curated by Mark Siddall, curator in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, whose research focuses on the evolution of leeches and their blood-feeding behavior. Dr. Siddall is also the curator of the Museum’s Picturing Science exhibition, currently on view in the Akeley Gallery.

The American Museum of Natural History, founded in 1869, is one of the world’s preeminent scientific, educational, and cultural institutions. The Museum encompasses 45 permanent exhibition halls, including the Rose Center for Earth and Space and the Hayden Planetarium, as well as galleries for temporary exhibitions. It is home to the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial, New York State’s official memorial to its 33rd governor and the nation’s 26th president, and a tribute to Roosevelt’s enduring legacy of conservation. The Museum’s five active research divisions and three crossdisciplinary centers support 200 scientists, whose work draws on a world-class permanent collection of more than 32 million specimens and artifacts, as well as specialized collections for frozen tissue and genomic and astrophysical data, and one of the largest natural history libraries in the Western Hemisphere. Through its Richard Gilder Graduate School, it is the only American museum authorized to grant the Ph.D. degree. In 2012, the Museum began offering a pilot Master of Arts in Teaching program with a specialization in Earth science. Approximately 5 million visitors from around the world came to the Museum last year, and its exhibitions and Space Shows can be seen in venues on five continents. The Museum’s website and collection of apps for mobile devices extend its collections, exhibitions, and educational programs to millions more beyond its walls. Visit amnh.org for more information.

United States Postal Service Inducts Ray Charles into Music Icons Stamp Series

Two Performance Ceremonies: Ashanti in Atlanta, Chaka Khan in LA

On what would have been his 83rd birthday, the “father of soul,” Ray Charles, returns to two “stamping ovations” today as the latest inductee into the Postal Service’s Music Icons Forever Stamp Series. Chaka Khan will perform at the Los Angeles first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony and Ashanti will highlight the Atlanta event. The Ray Charles Forever Stamp features an image of Charles taken later in his career by photographer Yves Carrere. The photograph belongs to Mephisto Jazz, represented worldwide by the Dalle agency. The stamp sheet was designed to evoke the appearance of a 45 rpm single peeking out of a record sleeve above the stamps themselves. On the reverse side, the sheet includes a larger version of the photograph featured on the stamp as well as the logo for the Music Icons series. Art director Ethel Kessler worked on the stamp pane with designer Neal Ashby.

The ceremonies took place at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center at Morehouse College in Atlanta, and The GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles. Available today in sheets of 16, customers may purchase the stamps at www.usps.com/stamps , at 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724) or at Post Offices nationwide.

Born Sept. 23, 1930, in Albany, GA, Ray Charles Robinson was raised in the small town of Greenville, FL, where a local boogie-woogie pianist gave him his first piano lessons. At the age of five, Charles began to go blind. His right eye was surgically removed. He learned to read Braille and was given lessons in classical piano and clarinet. He also taught himself to play saxophone while continuing to listen to a mix of jazz, blues and country music.

After his mother died in 1945, Charles left school and went to work in Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa as a professional musician. In 1948, he went to Seattle, WA, and formed a group known as the McSon Trio. Charles signed with Atlantic Records in 1952, where he had his first national hit, “I’ve Got a Woman,” in 1955. Charles assembled his own band, touring along with his quartet of backup vocalists, the Cookies, later known as the “Raeletts.” In 1959, Charles scored a major hit on both the rhythm and blues and pop charts with “What’d I Say?”

California Dreaming: DAISY FUENTES presents 10TH Anniversary Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion Show

Runway Images photographed by Kat Rabbit

As she celebrates her 10th Year Anniversary Spring/Summer 2014 show during New York Fashion Week at Eyebeam, Daisy Fuentes can be justifiably proud of herself and her accomplishments. She has done something not too many other “celebrity” designer can boast about: She has demonstrated major longevity and achieved an estimated $1.5 billion in sales, all while not  grabbing the magnifying industry glare like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony or Sophia Vergara. More importantly, she has done so while designing clothes a majority of American women seems to want to buy and proudly wear.

Fuentes herself knows that her success as a fashion and lifestyle brand in the increasingly competitive marketplace was not pre-ordained just because she was in the spotlight as a former model and MTV VJ (when MTV was worth watching, just saying) and that hard work, determination and many other factors went into making her clothing line the success it is today.

As she told WWD in a fashion week article celebrating the 10th year anniversary, “There are so many elements to it. It’s so moody; it’s so of the moment and on to the next. It’s hard to find customer loyalty. So when you find it, it’s like a rare gem, and you have to celebrate that. That’s why we are celebrating the longevity. I didn’t start doing this because I wanted a celebrity line. I wanted to be involved in fashion and be creative with something that had to do with fashion. The opportunity came, and I thought it would be a dream. I really took my time with every category. I didn’t just put out a line with everything. I chose partners carefully and made sense of the whole thing”
