Boy I Am is a feature-length documentary that begins to break down that ba rrier and promote dialogue about\ntrans issues through a look at the experi ences of three young transitioning FTMs in New York City as they go through major junctures in their transitions\, as well as through the voices of le sbians\,\nactivists\, and theorists who raise and address the questions tha t many people have but few openly discuss.

With calm c onfidence and a friendly smile\, Jesse explores the most intriguing and rem ote corners of the earth. Jesse redefines the limits of\nadventure travel a nd whitewater kayaking as he pioneers first descents on unthinkable and unt amed creeks\, rivers and waterfalls. Jesse\, a paddler on the Jackson Facto ry Team\, is renowned among the\nextreme sports community for his achieveme nts. He has been in magazines such as: Men's Fitness\, Kayak Magazine and N ational Geographic Adventure Magazine\, and is a featured paddler on\norego nkayaking.net and jacksonkayak.com. Jesse graduated from Rutgers University in New Jersey and earned a Master’s in Business Administration at Oregon State University. After working in corporate\nAmerica for ten years\, Jess e decided to quit and focus full-time on real estate investing. Now\, Jesse divides his time equally between his real estate investments and professio nal kayaking. It may\ncome as a surprise that Coombs began kayaking only 10 years ago. But since then\, he has made countless class V/VI first descent s in his kayak over 80-foot-plus waterfalls\, canyons\, gorges and rivers.\ nSuccess as a kayaker\, film producer\, and investor were not enough for Co ombs. He is making a social impact by starting a nonprofit corporation in h is name to steer kids away from illegal drugs. The\nJesse Coombs Foundation introduces children and teens to outdoor sports\, showing them that "the g reatest excitements in life are achieved without drugs."

Kevles\, Yale University DESCRIPTION:Innovation in fruits turned from a pastime of gentlemanly amate urs into a commercial business by the middle of the nineteenth century. The innovators grew eager to obtain what they increasingly\ntermed the rights of “originators\,” or what we can recognize as intellectual property pr otection (IP)\, for their new fruits. Yet how could the innovators uniquely identify their inventions? Special\nnames were inadequate\, since nothing prevented a thief from selling a fruit under a different name\, and verbal descriptions were inevitably inexact. A number of innovators thus tried to protect their\nfruits more precisely in colored lithographs and watercolors . The practice gave rise to an industry of fruit illustrations that soon co mprised an abundant and often exquisite body of commercial and\,\nin connec tion with a kind of registration system\, federal art. However\, registered illustration proved ineffective for IP protection in fruits\, and horticul tural innovators resorted to alternative\narrangements that included pricin g\, contracts\, legislation\, and in our own day\, patents on genes.
