Taylor White Foundation

Carol and Kevin White have established the Taylor White Foundation for Advancing our Community, Inc. in memory of their son. Taylor was killed in an automobile accident while out with his friends. In a desire for Taylor's death to be a force for good, a foundation has been created that works toward building a community environment that better supports Juneau teens in healthy choices around high risk behaviors (including drugs and alcohol).

The foundation envisions focusing in 3 areas:

1. explore proactive measures that support current efforts to limit access to alcohol and drugs;

2. use current research on teen brains to support and create evidence-based education and awareness efforts that are relevant and meaningful to teens;

3. develop activities and outlets for teenagers that are engaging, exciting, and challenging with acceptable risk.

Taylor White

Taylor White Male:

Taylor White was a typical Juneau teenager when he died June 5 as a passenger in a drunk-driving accident only days after graduating from Juneau-Douglas High School, his mother said.

Taylor White was an outgoing teenager who cared deeply about his friends, his mother said. He liked to ski, fish, play video games and tinker around on cars.

"He was a pretty well-rounded kid but probably his most defining characteristic is he was extremely social," Carol White said. "His friends were really important to him. He was really good at being a friend." The loss has been difficult for some people to accept because Taylor was so charismatic and moved so gracefully through life, she said. "He listened. People felt heard, they felt cared about and loved when he was around," Carol White said. "He was also pretty stubborn and hard headed. He lived his life by his own terms and they were not necessarily the terms that we wanted him to."

Carol and Kevin White have established the Taylor White Foundation for Advancing our Community, Inc. in memory of their son.

Taylor White Female:

Taylor White (1985 – ) Was raised in Cary, North Carolina. She currently lives in Oslo, Norway where she works in the advertising industry by day, meanwhile continuing to foster her own creative growth as a freelance illustrator and fine artist.

Influences include colorful plastic, old cartoons, natural history, taxidermy, the infirmed, outlaws, vagrants, loudmouths, smartasses, and everyday atrocities.

Taylor White Process

At a time when engineering analysis was an imperfect science, Taylor performed exhaustive tests on engine lathes and diligently recorded data on stresses and other capacities. In 1900, Taylor and an associate, Maunsel White, discovered the relationship between heat treatment of lathes and the increased cutting ability of the tool. Word of the technical breakthrough spread quickly, and the Taylor-White process was adopted worldwide.

In 1899 and 1900, Frederick Winslow Taylor and Maunsel White, working with a team of assistants at the Bethlehem Steel Company at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA, performed a series of experiments with the heat treating of existing high-quality tool steels, such as Mushet steel, heating them to much higher temperatures than were typically considered desirable in the industry.[3] Their experiments were characterized by a scientific empiricism in that many different combinations were made and tested, with no regard for conventional wisdom or alchemic recipes, and with detailed records kept of each batch. The end result was a heat treatment process that transformed existing alloys into a new kind of steel that could retain its hardness at higher temperatures, allowing much higher speeds, feeds, and depths of cut when machining.

The Taylor-White process was patented and created a revolution in the machining industries, in fact necessitating whole new, heavier machine tool designs so the new steel could be used to its full advantage. The patent was hotly contested and eventually nullified, but the vigor of the litigation seems to have been propelled less by the merits of the case and more by the fact that many firms faced commercial extinction if they could not find a way to circumvent the patent.

White Frosting

This simple white frosting recipe is rich and creamy and perfect for topping cakes or cupcakes.

Prep: 10 min.

This recipe goes with Chocolate-Chocolate Cupcakes With White Frosting

Yield: Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 to 3 Tbsp. milk

Preparation

1. Beat butter with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until creamy. Gradually beat in sugar until smooth. Beat in vanilla and 2 Tbsp. milk, adding additional milk, if necessary, for desired consistency.

How To Apply White Frosting On Cake:

How to Frost a 1 Layer Cake

Just spread frosting over it. Use swirling motions with the back of a spoon to create peaks and troughs, for a dramatic look.

How to Frost a 2 Layer Cake

There are two common ways to put the layers when assembling a layer cake. (Tilt your head to the left to see the illustrations.)

• The bases can both go down, like so: (|(| This is a slightly unstable configuration, and I tend not to use it.
• The layers can be placed base to base: (||)

Whichever way you decide to place it, choose the less shapely piece for the bottom layer. Place it on the serving platter. Using a knife, spread a generous coating of frosting on the upper surface. Ignore the sides for now; you'll get to them later.

Place the second layer on top of the frosted surface. If the layers are slightly asymmetrical, make sure the larger sides are opposite one another, so the top is roughly level. Otherwise the whole thing may just slide apart.

Cover the top of the cake with frosting. Don't worry about effect yet; just make sure the surface is covered.

Using a knife, start to frost the sides. You're trying to create a solid cliff face of frosting, with no visible crack where the layers join. This can be the most trying part, particularly if the frosting is a bit sticky. If the cake is sticking to the frosting rather than the other way around, add just a tiny bit more milk.

Finish the top off with a bit more frosting, if you have it to spare. Use the back of a spoon in swirling patterns to make peaks and troughs in the frosting.

How to Frost Cupcakes

The easiest way is to hold the cupcakes by the paper wrapping and dip them in the frosting, then pull them out with a twist of the wrist. This is the best and fastest way, if you are confident that your frosting is thin enough. If it takes the top off your cupcake, add more milk and try again.

Decorations, candles, and fancy writing are left as an exercise for the student.

White House: History

The White House, one of the most recognizable buildings in Washington, DC, was designed by James Hoban, an Irish-born and-trained architect who won a competition organized by President George Washington and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson in 1792. The competitions were held to determine who would design the nation's two most important buildings, the President's House and the Capitol. It is believed that Jefferson, competing under a pseudonym, submitted designs and lost both competitions. Hoban's inspiration for the house was drawn from an Anglo-Irish villa called the Leinster House in Dublin. Although President Washington oversaw construction, he never lived in the house. President John Adams, elected in 1796 as the second President, was the first resident of the White House. Abigail Adams, President Adams' wife, was known to have complained about the largely unfinished new residence. President Thomas Jefferson, upon moving to the house in 1801, was also not impressed, and dismissed the house as being too big. Jefferson made several structural changes under architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe such as the addition of terrace-pavilions on either side of the main building and single-story wings for storage. In addition to replacing the slate roof with one of sheet iron, Jefferson further improved the grounds by landscaping them in a picturesque manner. While James Madison was President from 1809 to 1817, the White House was torched by the British in the War of 1812. Although the fire was put out by a summer thunderstorm, all that remained were the outside, charred walls and the interior brick walls. Madison brought Hoban back to restore the mansion, which took three years. It was during this construction that the house was painted white. Hoban later added the South and North Porticos, using a slightly altered design by Latrobe.

Expansion and further alterations were made when President Theodore Roosevelt declared the house unsafe to inhabit. He had the original building remodeled. By making the third-story attic into habitable rooms and adding the Executive Office wing and the East Gallery, Roosevelt separated his work space from his family life. In 1909, architect Nathan C. Wyeth extended the office wing adding the well-known oval office. Although used informally for some time, it was President Theodore Roosevelt who gave the White House its official name. Finally, the last major renovation took place when President Harry Truman decided that again the building was unsafe and had to be gutted. Steel replaced the original frame and paneling, and a balcony was added to the South Portico. The White House, an architectural symbol of the American presidency and the nation's power, remains a stylistically simple residence and an example of the stolid republican ideals of the Founding Fathers.

White Rose

The white rose is a symbol of innocence. It can also mean that the person misses you very much.Today, the white rose is called the bridal rose. It's considered the traditional wedding flower and is associated with young love. The white rose is symbolic of purity and innocence, fitting for a wedding flower. It is often used in the bride's bouquet among other white flowers.White roses represent innocence and purity and are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings. The white rose is also a symbol of honor and reverence, and white rose arrangements are often used as an expression of remembrance.Also known as the bridal rose, the white rose is a traditional wedding flower. In this sense, they are a representation of unity, virtue, and the pureness of a new bond of love. White roses are also a symbol for young love, which further strengthens the association, and makes them ideal for marriages. Bridal bouquets are often comprised of white roses and other white flowers.In Wales, white roses are seen to mean innocence and silence, and are often placed on the grave of a young child. White rose arrangements are often used as an expression of remembrance.

White roses can mean many things to many different people. They can symbolize new beginnings, or be a sign of farewell. They can convey feelings of love, friendship, respect and hope. Underlying all of these messages is the impression of innocence and purity with which white roses are now synonymous. An arrangement of white roses is not only beautiful; it can carry a complexity that belies its simpler appearance. Whatever the reason white roses are given, it can be assured that they will be deeply appreciated by their recipient.

Moisture transfer drying method is used on the white rose. This technique involves the use of an absorbent which desiccates the rose by transferring the moisture from the petals to another medium. The most common medium for this method is silica aerogel, "silica" in the crafts stores.
