Autodesk Certification is needed? When I studied "Autodesk", I liked Alias. No one ever heard of Maya. I did Maya. Now, I need certification. What to do?

Eleven, or Twenty Percent. A total of Seventy. First and Number 1, among 120, is called what? Well, what's the word? Want to lie about it?
I asked the question about the number of "Registered" Architects in Australia on www.google.com tonight. I found this answer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_architects
The page says about 20-27% of the Architecture profession are women there, but, there are other numbers lower - 11% or 18% approx.
Where I come from, there are no female Architects, and people have never heard of registration, still, in this day and age. This is the state of Missouri.
In the entire state, I counted, maybe 5 or so years ago, a total of 70 women licensed to practice in the state of Missouri.
I never bought a "Summa Cum Laude" or a "Cum Laude", or any other honor on myself, while a student at Kansas State University, 1978-1983. That can be done, though. I am telling you, here, that Katherine Bozoian, from Spanish Lake in north St.. Louis County, Mo., bought this honor upon herself, in 1983. She had help from the Head of the Architecture Dept., named Eugene Kremer, FAIA, who was licensed in the state of New York. I don't know if he was ever licensed in Kansas. If so, I don't know of any of his built works, if there were any there, or, are there, now. She has continued help from the system, because Stephen A. Nutt, V.P. of Programs at the N.C.A.R.B., overseeing licensure and continuing education for all Architects in the U.S., was a classmate of mine and Kathy's, in 1981, 1982, and 1983. I never knew Katherine Bozoian, RA, before my Senior year, which was 1981. She states, however, on her www.linkedin.com page, that she was a student at KSU, starting in 1979. This is a lie. She transferred to K-State, as a Junior, and, after finishing at least 3 full years in an Architectural Studies program, with Interior Design emphasis, at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She was allowed in, by Eugene Kremer, FAIA. What can I say about Architecture today. I saw women leave, as a Freshman, and, as a Sophomore. I was told, by Eugene Kremer, FAIA, my Junior year, to transfer to another design studio, when I mentioned to him that my female partner in my first semester design studio was not doing most of the work - I was, and was tired of doing that, and didn't want to do that another, second semester my Junior year. I was on scholarship/grant from the St. Louis Chapter AIA, and had part-time work in my all-girls dorm on campus, as a front desk receptionist/switchboard operator. I took a full load of 20 credit hours my first semester Junior year, with this woman as a partner in my design studio, who told me she was living with someone, of a different race, on the Army base outside of Manhattan. I got tired of hearing sexual stories as excuses, and I had never seen her before at KSU, in my previous two years. He transferred me to a different design studio, without asking me any more questions. I was thought deficient by others at KSU's Dept. of Architecture after this happened. Let me say - a transfer for Katherine Bozoian put her at the top, while a transfer for me put me down??? What kind of money did K-State have for Katherine Bozoian? The girl screamed discrimination somewhere, with a family Attorney talking for her. I'm not CIA or FBI or some Secret Service law official, but, how can that be respectable? How can that be anything to carry the world today? I see Union Labor, and Labor Party involvement, in her actions and her honor at KSU. I see illegal drugs given an OK. I see Gay-Lesbian bisexual behavior more than any sexual discrimination near her actions. Something was warped in her belief system, in the state system, in the law system. I never had any law supporting me that would give me time off to have a baby, when I entered Architecture. I have worked with many men who are slow to pass the Architectural exam, but, when they get married and have a baby, they are given money to support a family. I have gotten fired, or demoted, and cut in salary. I have been expected to do all the work, with software on a computer, while the man or men sit there, doing nothing, with a "good excuse and reason" of that they don't know how to use the software. But, their salary is sufficient to buy a computer and the software and a book to teach themselves, whereas, mine never has been. In fact, most of my blog posts on www.google.com are here because I have never had sufficient income to pay my student loans from graduate study in the new Computer Graphics at Pratt Institute, from 1988-1990. I worked while a student there, too. But, the reason I was there, in the first place, is that Eugene Kremer, FAIA, told me he had lived near Pratt Institute, while living in New York. So, I applied to that school. I was seeking licensure, at that time, and, building a N.C.A.R.B. record. I knew I had this "lie" from Bozoian, Nutt, and, another woman named Sue Yoakum, RA, near me. Little did I know, how close that "lie" would be for me for the rest of my life. I tried, but, I needed money. What is licensure? To me, today, licensure is a lie. Licensure is just collecting private information and using that information for your own benefit - that is what the N.C.A.R.B. is doing, and, asking for payment in doing that action. I know they may be reading this today or sometime later. I'm not a loud, rude person. I'm not a dangerous, wild woman. I just need some money to buy food, have a house, a car, money for bills. Why subject a woman to every test and call that the N.C.A.R.B., or "Summa Cum Laude", or legal representation? A lie is a lie. A lie is the essence of mental illness. How sane is a "Nutt", "Bozo"? Sue Yoakum, RA, Attorney, was so sick at this "discrimination" cry from Kathy Bozoian, that she went on to get her own law degree, so, she can represent herself. That's sick, and mentally ill.

June 26, 2014 - N.C.A.R.B. Annual Meeting - women were 10% of those applying for licensure in early 1990s
Check out the breaking news from the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards:
http://www.thestreet.com/story/12758273/1/overhaul-of-architectural-licensing-announced-at-ncarb-annual-meeting-philadelphia.html
"In addition, NCARB released an extensive statistical survey on the architecture profession,NCARB by the Numbers, which shows that architects are getting licensed at the youngest median age in a decade (34 years), and the number of women applying for architect credentials is increasing. (Women now account for 40 percent of all applicants, up from 10 percent in the early 1990s.)"
I have been licensed since 1989.
I am who I say that I am.

Where is Joaquin Margot Gil, or Joachim Margot? In Spain or Switzerland, France, Italy, Belgium, California, New York? And, then, there's South Africa, or the Far East, China, South Korea, or Japan, or ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_66562SSMz0
Joachim Margot's thesis was a computer-generated animation of his own head, with facial animating using his own voice.
This is who I visited at SGO, in Madrid, Spain, in June, 1997. I have not heard from him or seen him since. I saw his picture, though, on a CD of Maya Personal Learning Experience software in 2003. I have that picture posted on another blog, named http://www.maya-1990topresent.blogspot.com/.

Sketches/drawings completed with the Paint program in Windows, and sent to Willem Davis Van Bakergem, by mail.
Fat girl - completed 4-7-2003 |
Puddle - completed 3-21-2008 This "finger in the dike' drawing was completed following the hurricanes in New Orleans, including one with nearly the same name as the company www.trina.net - Hurricane Katrina. I did not sketch this on paper beforehand, and used only the computer program. I have some thoughts regarding flooding, following the Great Flood of 1993 in St. Louis, and building in flood plains, such as was done in the Chesterfield Valley, and continues today. Pastor Jeff Perry of St. Louis Family Church was put in charge of this rebuilding effort in Chesterfield Valley, and he has appeared on TV, in commercials advertising his church and himself, since 1991. His "Receive Jesus" message has appeared on prime time TV, showing him dressed in jeans and dark clothes. I, first, knew of Jeff Perry when he was lecturing/ministering at DeSmet High School's gym, in Ladue. He is from California, part of the Four Square Church, and married with many children. My audio/video work (in computer graphics and animation) in New York, because unknown anywhere outside of New York, was thought "not from the Lord", and considered along with "witchcraft" and "magic", by those in his congregation, and who he knew, and who knew him. Soon, after initial introductions to him, and those around him, he started his TV commercials, appearing as himself, the Minister. In December 2000, right after I got married, I received a phone call from a modeling agency, in Ladue, that wanted to know if I was interested in "modeling". At that time, still in 2000, I did not put together the fact that all of St. Louis and the U.S. had never heard of "computer modeling" or computer animation. I was unaware of the development of Maya software, which is stated online to have started in the early 1990s, until 2003. Washington University did not support the teaching of Alias Studio software in 1997, I was told, by them, but, I was never told that Animator and wavefront 3D animation softwares, with (later) Softimage, were being developed into a new software, named "Maya". And, I was Los Angeles from January-March, 1992. |

Drawings created in the Paint program of Windows 7 Accessories, and sent to Willem Davis Van Bakergem, by mail, after being printed.
Green car, created 6-6-2012 Drawings created on my computer, following work at Washington University in 1996. W. Davis Van Bakergem had an online card company, called www.trina.net, and, his son worked a stand-alone booth of these cards at the St. Louis Galleria shopping mall. After talking to some guy he had worked with, in the Central West End of St. Louis, I started submitting these drawings to "Dave", as he is known, for work, with a purchase price named in the letters sent with the drawings. I have never heard back from him. He was employed, more recently, at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, in the Dept. of History. I have seen him there, through the UMSL Continuing Education series, and, since I graduated from a reciprocal program with the University of Missouri, I have had Alumni-Friend membership with the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I have participated in outside activities that are connected to these two schools - the "What is a City" continuing education series topic has been of importance to me, as a city resident, living on the city/county line. In 1998, the development of Washington Avenue, in downtown St. Louis, opened up Live/Work Studios, and Art St. Louis had an Open Studios event, where I volunteered. On June 25, 2013, I had my own home office, located in my city house, on the Open Studios event. These are sketches. The first drawings I submitted to him were of greater detail, and, I spent more time on them. In 2005, my own car was stolen while parked in front of my house, and no one has ever been named as the person who stole the car. I received a phone call, saying that the car was recovered, and I was told the car was parked outside of the parking lot where I was told to come see the car, in January, 2006. According to a document I was shown, the car was recovered from a Pick 'n Pull recycling lot, and not from the street outside of the city stolen vehicles parking lot. The police officer, who called me, named 'Shade', was the same officer who threatened me with a club after a neighbor called police, when I was unable to move out of a parking spot on Berthold Avenue, behind my house. This police officer appeared on the front page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper, and was charged, in a large criminal case, involving many stolen vehicles in the city of St. Louis, that had been 'towed', after January, 2006. |

click image to see large |
At that time, in 1994, this work did not count as "Architectural" work, according to the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, in Washington, D.C. About that time, is when the N.C.A.R.B. started instituting Continuing Education, under Stephen A. Nutt, now Vice-President of Programs, overseeing Continuing Education and Registration. Missouri was the leader in getting Continuing Education started for Architects, and Stephen A. Nutt is from Missouri, the Kansas City area. He was in my Professional Practice class at Kansas State University in Fall, 1981, and one of three partners I had for that class. We graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture in May, 1983.
