But you can get prepared. Millions of people 

worldwide will practice how to Drop, Cover, 

and Hold On, on October 17* during Great 

ShakeOut Earthquake Drills. 

All of us in Inland Southern California live 

less than 10 miles from a fault that can have a 

damaging earthquake. You are likely reading 

this while standing on the infamous San 

Andreas. It has the potential to produce a 

devastating earthquake. Nearby faults such as 

the San Jacinto fault create smaller, yet more 

frequent earthquakes. 

We have learned a lot about protecting our 

homes and future in an earthquake. We 

believe the danger is real, it's big and it's 

coming. 

Big earthquakes will disrupt services like 

electricity, water and sewer. We all saw 

limited access in and out from some minor 

flooding a few weeks ago. Also Fire and 

police departments will be dealing with the 

most serious situations and may be unable to 

respond quickly. 

There may be long lines and walks to shelter 

facilities. Government assistance may not 

be available or not enough to replace your 

damaged belongings or repair your home. 

With a dumbass president and a stalled 

congress, a major disaster will likely show 

how inept our government has become. 

In other words, a perfect storm is brewing. 

One that we may live with for years. 

But YOU may be safer if you read this 

warning: Preparing now, it will give you the 

best chances that you and your family will 

stay safe. 

Most news agencies won't talk about this 

because they want you to remain dependent 

on them and the products they sell. During 

this recent spat of quakes, I and all my friends 

watched the news channels and did not see 

one mention of reliable resources for you to 

prepare with. 

Including Drill Manuals and Safety Action 

Guides in the workplace and in the home, 

health care and when you are separated. 

Anyone that witnessed Katrina or Puerto Rico 

knows we are not prepared as a nation, 

We saw thousands stranded on rooftops, 

along roadways, in their homes, hospitals and 

in ill-equipped shelters. Many of those victims 

were poor and people of color. 

We believe it won’t affect us because we are 

mobile and can transport ourselves to safety 

any place and any time. Today, our victims 

will be many poor and people of color, they 

are also Vets, elderly, retired living of a fixed 

income with no way to rebuild the life they 

have now. Our fisrt respongers have been 

negelected. 

A disaster often tests our preparness, but a 

big one will test our metle as a natiion. Will 

coime together and rebuild or fall deeper into 

a fudal nation or relive The Hatfield–McCoy 

feud, some many not even know the term.

AdamsArtExpose’ ART 

THE ARTS OF NATIVE AMERICANS 

PART I 

Archaeological historians have 

concluded that the ancestors of 

Native Americans were on the 

American continent at least 15 

thousand years before the arrival 

of the Europeans in the 1400's. 

The ancestral Native Americans 

are believed to have come form 

Asia probably through a landmass 

that existed at one time as part of 

the Bering Straight. These early 

people were very industrious and 

adaptively creative in providing 

shelter, food, weaponry, ceremonial 

costumes and application of 

the resources available in the 

environment where they lived. 

The art of the Native American 

covers a broad category of 

decorative designs and utilitarian 

devises that were used for a variety 

of daily activities. The artifacts 

that have been found dating 

back to prehistoric times shows 

that ancient people had aesthetic 

ability. Examples of this are found 

in stone carving and pottery. 

Instruments such as arrow heads 

carved from stone demonstrated an 

understanding of how an arrow or 

spear would be used as a hunting 

tool based on the sharpened points 

and sides of the head. There were 

differences in the regional designs 

throughout the continent and there 

were also similarities showing 

that art designs were borrowed 

from various areas and brought 

to others. Materials used to make 

art were also traded and moved 

thousands of miles. Shells, jade, 

feathers and turquoise were some 

of the materials that showed up 

in regions where they were not 

normally found. 

There were similarities found 

in regions but the art of Native 

Americans is as diverse as the 

number of tribes and languages 

found in the culture of Native 

Americans. The regions of 

North American tribes included, 

Southwest; Midwest and Great 

Plains; Far West, Northeast, 

Central South and Southwest. 


AdamsArtExpose’

Eskimo or Inuit and Northwest Coast 

are identified as specific areas where 

Native American art developed 

around regional uniqueness. 

The decorative designs of most 

Native American tribes cannot be 

accurately traced to their origin. 

Many came from natural forms, 

plants, animals and geological 

designs in rocks, etc. Other designs 

were originally arrived at with 

geometric and linear arrangements. 

The next articles on Native American 

art will explore regional variations 

and applications of their art.

continued from page 22 

that we have to carry the weight of our 

parents wanting us to get married in order to 

pass on our family name. But these days it’s 

changing. I mean, we can always get children 

even as gay man. My dad had a conversation 

about wanting me to have a family after I 

came out. I told him that it’s possible, as a gay 

man, to have a family. And to keep the family 

name as well. Although that’s not something 

that’s really important for me, I feel that the 

bond we have with the ones we love are more 

important than a title. 

I just feel that as long as I stay truthful and 

authentic to be who I am no more and no 

less, it’ll be so easy to keep up. I think! 

silent an artist’s soul. It’ll only make me shine 

brighter with the truth and my lgbt family. 

Your new album is titled, ‘Open Up Babe.’ Tell 

me about the tile and the album in general. 

Open up babe was a song about opening up 

to the world of possibilities. When I lived in 

the closet, I held back with so many things 

that I believed in because I was fearful about 

my sexuality being discovered. Open up babe 

represents this loving, authentic and truthful 

me, speaking to my fearful younger self that 

everything is going to be okay when you trust 

your heart in being truthful to who you are. 

You have a big female following. What has 

their reaction been like since coming out? 

I thought I’d no longer get the panties. But 

it’s really neat because my relationship with 

women is so much stronger now, because 

they know that I won’t be a #metoo but 

instead I’ll be their advice for whether they 

get a green light or red light with the man 

they like. 

Tell me about your fans in general, 

especially when they recognize you in 

public. 

My fans are super friendly and approachable. 

My favorite part is seeing fans come up to me 

and giving me hugs in public. It makes me 

feel so happy that they show their affection in 

a public space. I remember when a fan came 

up to me when I was in a gym and gave me 

a hug from the back. I returned the hug and 

said thank you for being so genuine. And 

the response was “it’s because you showed 

me that this is possible”. I fucking bawled my 

eyes out immediately. It means the world to 

me when fans take this part of goodness and 

Your former record label was not thrilled 

when you decided to come out. How did that 

feel considering that this is not 1980s, and 

what did you do about it? 

I don’t blame them for being upset. I think 

it’s because they have not dealt with a 

situation like this before. It’s always better for 

them to go the safe route - where there are so 

many censorships of LGBT contents in Asia 

- and they fear that having an LGBT image 

will ruin their reputation. But I things are 

changing, and it’s about time we allow them 

to see what LGBT community is all about. I 

was just at the World Pride in NYC with my 

best friend this weekend. Seeing millions of 

people on the streets celebrating world pride. 

I think gay people are the ones who bring 

so much happiness in the world. We are the 

only community with so much diversity 

coming together as one to celebrate. How 

beautiful is that. I told them it’s okay that 

they removed all my social media, that they interact this way in their daily lives.

July 3 - 7, 2019 Anime Expo 

Los Angeles Convention Center 

anime-expo.org 

This year, Anime Expo was bigger than ever 

and it was not Comic Con. Mostly, there 

were not a lot of kids, but adults in serious 

playtime. The crowd was big all 4 days with 

gamers and cosplayers 

I noticed mobile gaming had a huge 

presence, luckily most were the ones I play, 

like Fate/ Grand Order, Azure Lane, Magia 

Record and Honkai Impact 3rd. And the the 

cosplay included many of these characters. 

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) a 

game where a battle royal takes place, thier 

booth was interesting becasue it looked like 

a of kids playing on cell phones.
