THE ART OF CHRISTMAS 

CARDS AND OTHER 

GREETING CARDS TO 

REPRESENT ALL PEOPLE 

“A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY 

NEW YEAR TO YOU”. This became the 

first Christmas card. 

Christmas as a Federal holiday has 

been celebrated since the 1870s. It was 

celebrated priot to that by the federal 

designation gave it a legitimacy which 

also instigated the early greeting cards 

designs to celebrate the holiday. The 

custom of sending greeting cards at the 

Christmas holiday began in England in 

the early 1800s. Henry Cole a London 

socialite in early Victorian England had 

many friends. He was concerned about 

how to send greetings to his many 

friends during the Christmas season. 

One of his friends was an artist, J.C. 

Horsley, Cole asked Horsley to design an 

illustration of a triptych shown a family at 

a table and on either side of the center 

drawing were to be people helping the 

poor. This illustration he had printed on 

3”x5” cardboard in a thousand copies. 

The greeting on the card was 

In the U.S. the first Christmas cards were 

made by Currier and Ives, printers out 

of New York and Philadelphia. They 

created lithographs by illustrators of 

winter scenes depicting sentimental 

topics such as, horses pulling a sleigh, 

ice skating on ponds, etc. These 

illustrations were printed on cardboard 

similar to the U.K. cards and became 

the early Christmas cards in the U.S. 

Christmas holiday cards became more 

popular and with them the myth of St. 

Nickolas, who became Santa Claus.

homes of all children by reindeer pulling

NEW YORK – In a victory for transgender youth, the Second 

Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a student athletic policy in 

Connecticut allowing transgender students to play on the teams 

most consistent with their gender identity. 

On behalf of Andraya Yearwood and Terry Miller, two 

transgender young women, the American Civil Liberties 

Union and the ACLU Foundation of Connecticut defended the 

transgender youth participation policy of the Connecticut 

Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) in Soule et al v. CT 

Association of Schools et al, the nation’s first federal court case 

challenging such a policy. 

In today’s ruling, the Second Circuit ruled the claims that 

cisgender girls were denied opportunities or championships are 

moot and unfounded, ultimately ruling they lacked standing to 

challenge the CIAC’s policy. The court noted that, on numerous 

occasions, the cisgender plaintiffs placed first in various events, 

even sometimes when competing against Yearwood and Miller. 

The court also affirmed discrimination against transgender 

students violates Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex 

discrimination in educational programs, aligning today’s ruling 

with the Supreme Court’s ruling on Title VII in Bostock v. Clayton 

County. 

schools, and all trans youth should be celebrated and protected 

for who they are. Today, the courts have once again dismissed 

this lawsuit seeking to attack trans student athletes. The record 

shows that our clients played by the rules, and the court agreed,” 

said Elana Bildner, ACLU Foundation of Connecticut senior staff 

attorney. 

During their senior year, cisgender girls represented by the 

Alliance Defending Freedom – an organization that takes credit 

for a record surge in anti-transgender bills introduced by state 

legislators in recent years – filed a lawsuit arguing that the 

presence of transgender girls on girls’ sports teams violated Title 

IX. The federal district court in Connecticut dismissed the case 

last year, but the plaintiffs immediately appealed to the Second 

Circuit. 

The full Second Circuit ruling can be found here: https://www. 

aclu.org/soule-v-ciac-ca2-ruling 

“Today’s ruling is a critical victory for fairness, equality, and 

inclusion” said Joshua Block, senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s 

LGBTQ & HIV Project. “The court rejected the baseless zerosum 

arguments presented by the opposition to this policy and 

ultimately found transgender girls have as much a right to play 

as cisgender girls under Title IX. This critical victory strikes at 

the heart of political attacks against transgender youth while 

helping ensure every young person has the right to play.”

Everything ends,

Recently we had 

some fun with AIgenerated 

images 

on our cover. AI is 

like a server that 

uses programs 

that observe and 

mimic data and 

patterns. When I was a programmer at 

DEC to place CPUs on a board using 

robots. Components are wave soldered 

(Dipped) and more oversized items are 

placed by pin alignment. Using edge 

detection and alignment marks. At 

AltaVista, we used to could display a 

frame with 90% accuracy on the fame 

that most represented the contents. We 

did this by training an algorithm to follow 

Aircraft Search Patterns and plotting 

only edges. The plot was matched to 

stored plots, and when it was found, it 

was placed and dipped in solder. In the 

old days, we call our monstrosity Ralph 

as it would whirr around lining up, pause, 

then whirr around again and again 

before it was placed, 

Artificial intelligence technology is

open-source kind of person, there are 

a number of API interfaces you can

trained by millions of photographs 

uploaded yearly. Then reimage that AI

provided some of the code, but what 

happens if you start with pictures of 

yourself and want to dominate during

Merchandising developed into a

most lucrative time of the year for 

many merchants and vendors came

merchants. Some people felt left out

About 50 years ago a new holiday 

was developed by a college professor

of African studies and an author and 

activist. Together with the activist, Hakim 

Jamal, they together developed the 

holiday Kwanzaa. The Kwanzaa holiday

Christmas holiday season. The Jewish

This Virtual Gallery will show the development of a painting i 

am calling, “Dancing With Mondrian”. It begins with the initial 

sketch through to the final painting. Mondrian is one of my 

favorite artists. His art has influenced everything from fashion 

to architecture. He divided canvases into various rectangles 

which he filled with the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. 

I have used this format only adding the organic element of a 

male figure dancing within a field of Mondrian shapes and 

colors like a stained glass background. The only deviation I have 

made from Mondrian is to add violet a secondary color in some 

of the rectangles.
