FTU 4th In State By 1980?
We Live in the Present,
By the Past, hut
for the. .
Buffalo Bob, of the famed Bob-Doody duo,
appeared before a full house at the Science
Auditorium last Wednesday. Mr. Bob's performance
without his wooden companion was the cause of a
great deal of speculation as to the reasons of their
separation. One rumor was that young Howdy is
under the specialized care of a tree surgeon in
Connecticut and, due to the nature of his illness, is
confined to his suitcase.
Buffalo Bob Visits Tec/i,
Says Howdy Without Doody
For two hours yesterday the
Science Auditorium became a
Peanut Gallery, and sophisticated
FTU students became youngsters
again, cheering, "It's Howdy Doody
time!"
Buffalo Bob Smith, was
resplendent in the fringed suit,
which was the same one he wore
when "Howdy Doody" was first
televised in color. Howdy himself,
with the rest of the show's puppets,
was with his owner, Rufus Rose, in
Connecticut. After the 50-minute
kinetoscope Buffalo of the 10th
anniversary of the Howdy Doody
program, Buffalo Bob led the
audience in some of the old songs —
"Howdy Doody Song," the
"Clarabell Song," "I'm for Howdy
Doody," "Clap Your Hands," and
the "Rhyming Song" from the
show.
He spoke of embarrassing
moments on the show when one
youngster wanted to go to the
bathroom    and    used    a   pumpkin
By BETH WEILENMAN
instead — unknown to the
television audience — and how he
became helpless with laughter as a
result. And how, for the radio
show, children were afraid to
respond honestly to the question
"Have you ever been bad?" and
were told to make up something —
and this got out of hand after the
first response.
Perhaps the most enjoyed portion
was the Music Lesson Dream when
Smith interpreted "Chopsticks" as
it would be played by
eight-year-old Beethoven, Wagner,
Chopin, Bach and Rachmaninoff, as
well as the more current Bacharach
and Little Richard.
Howdy Doody was televised 13
years, and has been in existence
since 1947. There were about 2,600
broadcasts of the program. Since
the last show in 1960, Bob Smith
has appeared on talk shows.
About a year ago, the University
of Pennsylvania requested a film of
Howdy   Doody   to   "relive   happy
Friedan Coming
To Pay Lib Service
Betty Friedan, author of best-seller "The Feminine Mystique" and
president of the National Organization for Women, is speaking at 11 am
Tuesday in the SCAUD on "The Battle Between the Sexes."
Mrs. Friedan, who helped organize the women's liberation movement,
was born in Peoria, 111., and was graduated cumma cum laude from
Smith College. She was a student of Gestalt psychologist Kurt Koffka
and has held a research fellowship in psychology at the University of
California in Berkeley. She has assisted in early experiments in group
dynamics at the University of Iowa.
Mrs. Friedan wrote "The Feminine Mystique" after five years of
research and travel, when she spoke with doctors, psychoanalysts,
marriage counselors, educators and motivational researchers. She also
interviewed eight women in depth, and the interviews lasted from two
hours to two days. Her book has been excerpted by McCalls and Ladies'
Home Journal, both of which, as with other women's magazines, have
been targets of her attack on the myth of the American woman as just a
housewife.
Mrs. Friedan's appearance is sponsored by the Village Center.
Program Director Wanda Russell says Mrs. Freidan's book and thoughts
are "well-founded and deep," and she treats her subject in an educated
manner. Mrs. Russell also says that Mrs. Friedan has been treated
unfairly, since Mrs Friedan began the movement before women's
liberation received its bad reputation, and since she is not a member of
the radical segment of the movement.
27,672 Enrollment
Although the latest registration figures for this quarter show
enrollment down from last fall, a Florida Board of Regents report to the
governor shows that FTU will be the fourth largest university in the state
childhood days" and break the
monotony of a series of rock
groups. The film show was a
success, and the university asked
Smith himself to come. According
to Smith, the response was
overwhelming when he stepped on
stage — "For two full minutes they
were screaming." Other colleges in
Pennsylvania requested his
appearance, and now he has visited
about 30 campuses in the U.S., and
has been booked for about 40 more
on this tour.
The name "Buffalo Bob" evolved
from his own name and his
birthplace, Buffalo, N.Y. He
considered "Mr. Smith" too formal
for the puppets and children to use,
yet thought just "Bob" would not
be right either.

Decal Dye Dies,
New Ones Offered
A dye that died caused the fading
plaguing most of the campus
parking stickers, John Smith, head
of Campus Security told the
FuTUre this week.
''.The company regretted
the mistake and has sent us some
brand new ones which we will
exchange for the faded decals,"
Smith said.
Smith stated that his men will try
and canvas the parking lots to
replace with matching numbers
those decals that still have numbers
"But we will only be able to do a
few like that," Smith said. "We are
asking that everyone with an
up-to-date faded decal to come to
the security office (in the LLRB
basement) and pick up a new one at
no cost."
Smith said that the office will be
open from 8 am to 5 pm each day.
When the decals began to fade
last quarter, a hurried call was made
to the Welden Lick and Smith Co.,
the firm that made the stickers.
"The company was very sorry it
had happened," the security officer
noted, "They said it was in the dye
when the stickers were produced
They have been very cooperative
with us in the matter."
Enrollment figures for this
quarter place the number of FTU
students at 4,909, down from
5,119 last quarter. These figures are
not final; computer tabulation is
continuing. Dr. John R. Bolte,
Assistant Dean for Academic
Affairs, said that the drop in the
number of students is normal for
the quarter.
Final enrollment figures may
actually be nearer 5,000, because
Registrar W. Dan Chapman
estimates that during the first day
of registration, over 4,500 students
registered, and approximately 500
students registered the second day.
Chapman said registration went
well, and usually ran behind only
by five or ten minutes. At one
point, however, registration was
running 20 minutes behind.
Because students were registering
faster than they were paying, long
lines piled up in the Administration
Building. Although at least three
windows were kept open at Finance
and Accounting, Chapman said that
understaffing   was   responsible   for
the long waits. Eight employes
worked all day, four at the fee
assessment station, and four at the
cashier's window.
Registration closed at 6:30 pm
the first day; the cashier closed by
8:15 pm. Chapman cited another
reason for some of the delay at the
cashier's window: outstanding fees
were added to the new fee
assessment cards and paid after
registration, rather than before.
Chapman estimated that
approximately 500 to 600 students
went through add-drop this quarter.
In speaking of future
registrations, Chapman soon hopes
to see a system that will require
students to feed their class schedule
computer cards directly into the
computer. The computer will be
able to detect immediately any
course conflict, thus eliminating
add-drop procedures for reasons of
course conflict. The computer
would also assess fees, and the
print-out would serve as the
students' receipt.

Of Volunteer Army
By ROBERT WISHOFF
FTU students of political science
were given a chance Wednesday to
discuss the issues with Fourth
Congressional Representative Bill
Chapell. Congressman Chapell
represents over 70,000 Floridians
and has a great deal to say about
many controversial subjects. When
asked about reorganization that is
going on throughout congress,
Chapell replied that "Congress has
not been geared to honestly handle
in the best way the issues which
have come before it." Some of the
reasons he gave were the needless
waste of time because of the low
process of roll call and the lack of
computerized machineries
necessary to efficiently take care of
the work. "It is absolutely true that
we have dedicated too much to the
executive branch of the
government, we need to recall
it...these powers that belong to the
people, which are supposed to be
exercised by the congress, which
are now being exercised by the
governmental agencies."
The congressman is firmly against
mandatory retirement of
representatives at set ages using the
"brilliance" of former "Speaker of
the    House"    McCormick    as    an
example. However, upon being
approached with the question of
compulsory retirement for college
professors he said, "I don't think
that in this way you can judicate
the mental capacities of a man, but
I think that there can be a
mandatory review of everybody's
qualifications from time to time,
say every four years or so. Mark
Twain, for instance wrote some of
his best books at the age of 75."
On the government's seniority
system he related that, "I don't like
it a bit, until I consider the
alternatives. I don't know if there is
an alternative to it."
He feels that there is a better
power distribution in the system
the way it is. In other words, he
said modify it but don't destroy it
because, as the congressman put it,
"In the scheme of government the
strong people will come to the top,
their influence will be heard and it
makes no difference what system
you are under."
Congressman Chapell believes
that 18 is too young an age to vote.
He said that by giving the 18 year
old person that ''divine
responsibility   of  voting" * you   are

Robinsons are ambassador family for upcoming March of Dimes
Torie Robinson's family is this year's March of Dimes ambassador family. She was 1 pound when she was born. Torie is now 2 years old.
Run for Babies 5K and March for Babies walk
When: 5K at 7:30 a.m., walk at 9 a.m. Saturday
Where: Longstreet Clinic, 725 Jesse Jewell Parkway SE, Gainesville
Cost: $25 per runner
More info: Visit www.marchofdimes.org and www.marchforbabies.org
Torie Robinson was born weighing only 1 pound — so tiny her mom Tocoa Robinson's wedding ring could fit around her leg.
"Hearing her cry was a feeling I can't describe. It gave me hope," Tocoa said. "I was ready to face reality that I'd spent five months carrying my baby girl, but it was time to part ways."
Torie is now 2 years old, and the Robinsons are this year's March of Dimes ambassador family.
The Run for Babies 5K will begin at 7:30 a.m. and the March for Babies walk will start at 9 a.m. after an opening ceremony in the green space behind The Longstreet Clinic on Saturday.
"We are expecting about 800 people to March for Babies," said Debbie Childress, March of Dimes development manager.
Childress said the No. 1 cause of infant death is prematurity. The fundraising efforts associated with the race and walk are one way to combat the issue.
Each year, the March of Dimes chooses families with children who benefited from research, programs or educational campaigns aimed toward its mission to treat babies born with health problems.
Torie; Tocoa and her husband, Calvin Robinson; Tocoa's mom; Tocoa and Calvin's other children Tai, Tasia and Tyler; and other relatives will lead the walk this year.
The event will also have children's activities, including a bounce house and hands-on crafts. A former Atlanta Falcon, Jerious Norwood, will also be attending and will lead the attendees in warmup exercises before the race.

The Energy Technologies Institute's (ETI) remit is to invest in research and development to accelerate the development of secure, reliable and cost-effective low-carbon energy technologies towards commercial deployment. The Institute will play a major role in technology developments internationally in support of the UK's climate change goals.
What is the Energy Technologies Institute?
The ETI was formally established on the 17th December 2007 as a 50:50 public-private partnership. The Government has already announced that it is prepared to commit up to £550 million, creating the potential for a £1.1 billion Institute over 10 years. Some of the world's biggest energy and engineering companies are already involved in this 'unique' venture and helping to drive the initiative forward – BP, Caterpillar, EDF Energy, E.ON UK, Rolls-Royce and Shell. Additional private sector partners are being identified to match the Government's commitment of up to £550m over the next decade.
2. the selection of the Midlands Consortium, led by Loughborough University with Birmingham and Nottingham, to host ETI Headquarters.
ETI Chief Executive, David Clarke, said that the decision to work with the Carbon Trust on offshore wind reflects one of the core principles of the ETI, "We are delighted to be working with the Carbon Trust on our very first research and technology programme. Collaboration is at the heart of the ETI's ethos, both through our public/private partnership structure, but also through our intention to work with those organisations which share a common vision of a low carbon energy landscape.
In addition, the ETI, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) have been working in close collaboration to ensure the UK develops a coordinated research, development and demonstration portfolio of projects across the energy sector.

Who didn't collect feathers as a kid? Every feather is a piece of art in itself. We wanted to adorn ourselves in these feathers, but of course in a fully vegan way. With hand drawn feathers, printed in water-based GOTS certified colours on organic cotton, we feel so good. And no animal must lose its feathers for it.


The latest project from Bell X1's Dave Geraghty 'Join Me In The Pines' will perform in the spirit Store this Friday, 6 June.
Dave's new project, 'Join Me in the Pines' was written and recorded over a year and half while on and off the road. JMITP is a return to the somewhat isolated creative process under which his debut album was made. This time around the process benefits from a newly built home studio. "Every musician's dream is to have their own home studio," said Dave.
Once again Geraghty displays his musical skills on the new album by playing almost all of the instruments, although it was enhanced by some great talents from the trad, folk and classical worlds.
Tickets are €12.50 and doors open at 8pm.

Alvaston thug jailed after hammer attack leaves housemate's face pouring blood
Anthony Holmes has 43 previous convictions for 86 offences
A thug from Derby with an "appalling record for violence" attacked a housemate with a hammer after head-butting him at the communal address they share in Alvaston.
Anthony Holmes, who has 43 convictions for 86 offences, "lost his temper" and picked up the weapon which he then used on the victim during a tussle in a corridor.
The force of the blow left the man needing hospital treatment as blood poured down his face, Derby Crown Court heard.
And in a victim personal statement he said he now "fears for his own safety" following the assault.
Jailing Holmes for nine months, Judge Jonathan Bennett said: "You have an appalling record for violence including one conviction for a violent altercation whereby you stabbed someone in the forearm with a knife.

"Another, in 2015, was for fighting in the street and a third was for punching someone to the face.
"Whatever happened on that particular evening is beyond me and I don't know what made you act in the way that you did.
"But he found you bare-chested with a hammer in your hand which you then used to strike a blow to his head."
Sarah Allen, prosecuting at Derby Crown Court, aid the attack took place at around 9.30pm on April 18 at the communal address Holmes, 37, and the victim share in Lilac Court, Lilac Close, Alvaston.
She said the victim heard a commotion in the corridor outside and saw the defendant threatening someone else who lives at the address.
Miss Allen said: "He walked to wards him and was told to go away which he did, returning to his room and locking the door behind him.
Suspected drink-driver caught when Derby cops follow trail of engine oil after smash
"He then heard a knock on the door and decided to open it.
"He saw the defendant standing there bare-chested and holding a hammer.
"The victim tried to push him away but the defendant head-butted him to the bridge of the nose.
"There was then what is describes as a tussle in the tight corridor and the defendant started swinging the hammer before striking it once to the head of the victim.
"He immediately felt blood coming down his face."
Miss Allen said Holmes then backed off and the victim was able to get ito his room and lock the door.
He then called the police who arrived and arrested Holmes who later pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Jonathan Hullis, for Holmes, said: "The incident arose as something over nothing.
"He had lived with the complainant there and at a previous address and they got on well.
"He tells me they both got on each other's nerves but he lost his temper and took a hammer to the room.
"He accepts his behaviour against someone he got on well with was appalling."
As well as the prison term, Judge Bennett handed Holmes restraining order not to contact the victim or go to Lilac Court, Alvaston, for two years.

Digger depicts a Cornish Cough. It is a hand painted linocut, printed on a hand press with finishing details in water based drawing inks. The background shows the sea and sky in blues, whites and purples and the landscape in greens, yellows and red. The Cough is coloured black and blue with a red beak and legs.
I was inspired by the history and sheer survival of this impressive bird known as 'the Crow of Cornwall' and a poem entitled The Cough written by John Harris (1820 -1884). John Harris was a poet, miner and preacher. Self educated his poems reflect his experiences of growing up in Cornwall, working as a miner and his love of nature.


Every single member of the internet can be loosely categorized as a device, server, or router. Your smartphone is a device. The ExtremeTech website is a server. Your smartphone is connected to the ExtremeTech website by a series of routers. While your home router is a fairly simple piece of hardware (it only really has to ferry packets between your home network and your ISP's network), the data center routers that make up the internet backbone are seriously beefy machines that must route hundreds of gigabits of data per second, every second of the day, to thousands of other core routers all over the world.
These backbone routers maintain a routing table (a map) of the entire internet. When your packet arrives at one of these routers (probably on the border of your ISP's network), it consults this map of the internet and decides which router it will forward your packet to. Your packet will traverse a series of backbone routers as it crosses the internet, and each time the router will check the routing table to find the best route to the destination. This technique is called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and the map of the internet is called a BGP table. Furthermore, whenever there's a change to the local network — due to an outage, for example — each BGP router sends an update to other BGP routers, so that every BGP router always has an accurate map of the internet.
Internet BGP routing table sizes, in May, July, and August 2014. You can see that in the next couple of months the majority of BGP routers will pass the 512K mark.
The good news — well, kind of — is that network engineers and router makers have known about the impending BGPocalypse for some time. Cisco warned its customers in May that some of its routers would begin to experience problems. As you can see in the graphs above, the global consensus on BGP table size has been trending steadily towards 524,288 for a few years. The exhaustion of IPv4 and the resulting reliance on NAT and smaller routable blocks of IP addresses have caused the BGP table size to accelerate. Today, most routers are sitting somewhere around 500,000, but they are marching inexorably towards the 524,288 tipping point. Yesterday's blip was just the start: As more routers max out their memory, expect more and more disruptions to your surfing.
It's important to note that it is mostly older routers that are affected by the number of internet routes exceeding 524,288. Newer routers simply have more memory and are thus unaffected by this rather arbitrary cap. Fortunately, most core routers — the routers at major internet intersections that could actually cause serious disruption — have probably already been updated/upgraded. Still, there will be lots of older routers that are affected — and in some cases they probably won't be fixed/upgraded until they actually start causing problems.
In short, the internet might be in for a rough patch over the next few months as the total number of routes grows beyond 512K/524,288. The good news is that ISPs and backbone networks are aware of the problem — and in many cases routers are being proactively fixed before they start flapping around, thus major disruptions are unlikely. But hey, if you do suddenly find yourself without internet access, or your favorite site is inaccessible, at least you'll know the most likely cause: The BGPocalypse.

Jamaicans in, Irish out of Multicultural Festival
By: Bud Robertson
Posted: 12/23/2018 3:00 AM |
The Westman Multicultural Festival is losing one of its longest-running pavilions next year.
The Irish pavilion won't be taking part in the 16th annual festival, which runs from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2. It has been part of the festival since it began.
BUD ROBERTSON/THE BRANDON SUN
Emelio Brown, president of Westman Jamaican Community Inc., and vice-president Verene Wilks stand outside the Prairie Oasis Senior Centre, where they will host their first pavilion during next year's Westman Multicultural Festival.
Meanwhile, the city's growing Jamaican community has decided to host a pavilion next year, while the Mauritius pavilion is returning after a one-year hiatus.
"This year there were just too many things seemingly against us," said Tyler Foster, second vice-president of the Irish Society of Western Manitoba.
"The main reason is volunteer fatigue," Foster said. "Our numbers are getting smaller in the Irish Society."
Some 200 to 250 volunteers put in hundreds of hours altogether to host the pavilion, he said.
"It's a monumental undertaking."
Foster said the board will decide on a year-to-year basis whether they will participate in the festival.
"It's upsetting not to be able to do it," Foster added, "but at the same time, there is a sense of relief."
He noted the Irish Society will still be putting on its annual St. Patrick's Day dinner.
Brandon Sun 03022018 Cailin Finlay with McConnell School of Dance performs with fellow dancers at the Irish pavilion at the Clarion Hotel and Suites during this year's Westman Multicultural Festival. The Irish pavilion, which has been part of the festival since it began, will not be part of next year's edition.
"We've done that for 29 years. We're not going to stop that."
A lot of hard work goes into hosting a pavilion, said festival chairman Richard Bruce — not just the three days of the event, but the months that are spent getting prepared, and for some it can get to be too much.
"It doesn't matter which pavilion you're in, if they go for the three nights, that's a tremendous amount of work, and it's literally built on the back of volunteers," Bruce said.
The festival is run by hundreds of volunteers recruited by the various cultural societies and associations that host the pavilions.
Bruce noted the Mauritius community is already very active in the city.
"They celebrate lots of things, because Mauritius is actually a multicultural country," Bruce said.
"I think they decided they were so busy, it was just time for a hiatus (last year)."
Emelio Brown, president of Westman Jamaican Community Inc., said they finally have enough volunteers to host their own pavilion on the Friday and Saturday at Prairie Oasis Senior Centre.
"This will be quite a milestone for us," said Brown. "We are making history here."
Brown said the pavilion will feature live reggae music as well as dancing and, of course, jerk chicken and pork.
Brown said the board decided to try it over two days rather than three for the first year.
In addition to Jamaica and Mauritius, England, Honduras, India, Métis, Mexico, Philippines, Scotland and Ukraine will be hosting pavilions.
Festival-goers to the signature winter event in Brandon can enjoy food, beverages, entertainment, art and customs from around the world as they visit the various pavilions.
"You'll have a really good time," Bruce promised.
He noted many of the pavilions are within walking distance of one another, depending on the weather.
"When it all comes together, it's quite an experience," he said.
It is estimated that between 26,000 to 30,000 people attend the event each year.
Foster, who is also treasurer of the Westman Multicultural Festival, said the numbers had been declining over the past few years.
"People are maybe choosing to stay home more," Foster said, adding last year saw a reversal of that trend, staying on par with the year before.
"We're trying hard," he said. "We're adding new pavilions, we're getting a better website. We're getting the message out there through a lot of social media and we're getting a lot of donations in to help the pavilions."
Admission to each pavilion is free and free bus service will also be available (including Handi-Transit).

Nostalgia (part 5) - Big Band and World War II
Maj Glenn Miller/wikipedia.com
Remember the Big Band Era?
The music of Big Band in America may have found its origins after World War I with Jazz and Swing. But after the stock market crash of 1929, it rose in popularity during the Great Depression and World War II with such composers as Duke Ellington, Tom Dorsey, Glenn Miller, and Benny Goodman.
[reference: The Big Band Era - Or How America came out of the Great Depression and Went on to Win World War II ]
Salute to Major Glenn Miller
One of the most memorable musicians of the World War II generation was Glenn Miller. In 1942, Glenn Miller had enlisted in the Army and later transferred to the Army Air Force. There, he headed up the US Army Air Force Band and boosted the morale of the troops with his music during the war.
In August 1944, Captain Miller had been promoted to the rank of major. Sadly, Major Miller's military flight from London to Paris disappeared on December 15, 1944. His death remains a mystery as neither his body nor the plane had been found. But as thousands of other men, he gave his life serving his country.
[reference: Glenn Miller Biography ]
And 70+ years later during the Holiday Season....
In the spirit of Big Band music, the USAF Band, Washington DC, dance troupe from New York City put on this show, as described in the comments:
A special holiday musical presentation from Union Station in Washington, DC celebrating the service and sacrifices of our nation's World War II veterans and commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of the war.
(reference: https://youtu.be/khQN5ylb3H0 )
Timeless music?
The Glenn Miller Orchestra and Big Band are still going strong into the 21st century. The music is even popular in SciFi, as shown in this scene below from Doctor Who: The Doctor Dances (2006):
(reference: https://youtu.be/V3REt-MDaa4?list=PL127E18DF32919759 )
Recognize the song? Glenn Miller's In the Mood (1939)

and we enter 2016,
may you dance into
a Blessed New Year!

America's Story (part 20) - Patton's Weather Prayer
Battle of the Bulge/wikipedia.com
The picture above is a diorama of the Battle of the Bulge.
December 1944, as World War II turned in favor of the allies, Hitler's Army made a last ditch effort in an offensive against Belgium. The Nazi attack caught the American troops off guard and outnumbered.
As a consequence, the Germans bottled up the 101th Airborne in Belgium in what has became known as the Seige of Bastogne. And I previously blogged about this in the post: Christmas 1944, when we said NUTS to the enemy
General Patton to the rescue
Patton's Third Army did a 90 degree turn and moved quickly from northeast France to Bastogne, Belgium. Yet, another enemy was the weather. And Patton looked for help from the top of the chain of command, the Almighty, as shown below.
(reference: https://youtu.be/PehCORojjtw )
The Third Army Chaplain, Father James O'Neill, wrote the following prayer: the "Patton Prayer"
The weather cleared. As Patton's troops linked with the defenders of Bastogne, the seige was broken. Despite overwhelming odds, the Americans defeated the Germans.
In January 1945, the Battle was over. April saw victory in Europe. The Patton Prayer is now in the annals of history and the subject of many movies.
But that fighting spirit to not give up against overwhelming odds,
to look up to heaven for help,
America's Story.

CC (part 7) - Buzz Aldrin
Buzz Aldrin/wikipedia.com
Apollo 11 was a watershed mission. It was unique. It would never be repeated to have another first human being walk on an extraterrestrial world.
[For more info: Apollo 11 Mission Overview ]
In 1969, an estimated 530 viewers watched Neil Armstrong take his first step on the moon:
(reference: https://youtu.be/RMINSD7MmT4 )
And he said these words: "...one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"
What about the second man?
Buzz Aldrin is the man in the spacesuit in the photo at the top of the page. And Neil Armstrong took his picture. His words were most poetic recorded in the clip below:
(reference: https://youtu.be/rtQ051t2dfw )
"Magnificent Desolation"
And that became of title of one of his books: Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon
And speaking of books ....
In the first book of The Commander and the Chief series, His Tribe of One, Chief Nova Orlovic remembers the second man on the moon as well as the first. The following excerpt takes place in the Middle-Eastern desert with Nova, Colonel Jack Sheffield, and Commander Reginald Barrett during their search for Admiral Quinn:
Mid-morning, Jack stopped on the crest of a bluff and surveyed the landscape. "I need to do a recalibration." He turned on his smart tablet, then connected a cable into the KNOSE.
"Magnificent desolation." Nova scanned the wilderness—edifices of stone, rising like fortresses, floating on an ocean of pale yellow sand.
"I've heard that before. Somewhere." Reggie skimmed the desert-scape from his backseat window.
Nova turned around. "Buzz Aldrin."
"Buzz who?" Reggie squinted at her.
"How quickly we forget." Nova shook her head. "Buzz Aldrin was the second man on the moon…after Neil Armstrong, of course."
"Right-o." Jack chimed in. "Admiral Quinn was an astronaut. So you know this ancient history."
"Doesn't seem that long ago, though it happened before I was born." Nova panned the moonscape-like desert. "Yet this place reminds me of the Badlands in the Dakotas, only with sand and stuff."
Jack said, "So these Badlands look like the moon?"
"In many ways, they do." Nova returned a fond look. "Actually Jack, parts of Wyoming have been likened to Antarctica."
from Part 5: The Badlands, Chapter 1: The Backside of the Desert.
[for more info on the book: smithsk.com/cc.htm ]
To Infinity and beyond ....
Though Neil Armstrong had shunned the limelight and passed away in 2012, Buzz Aldrin has been more active in popular culture as well as promoting his vision of space.
And he inspired Disney's Toy Story character, Buzz Lightyear. In the clip below, one Buzz coaches another Buzz for a coming shuttle mission to the International Space Station. [reference: Buzz Aldrin FAQ ]
(reference: https://youtu.be/R5TDbrsq5jI )
To echo the Buzz Lightyear catch phrase, to infinity and beyond, Buzz Aldrin has a plan to colonise Mars by 2040
To the 21st century ...
In step with the times, Buzz Aldrin is active on social media, such as twitter @TheRealBuzz and Facebook Buzz Aldrin as well as his own website: buzzaldrin.com.
And Buzz created quite a buzz with this cameo on The Big Bang Theory :

Signs of the Times (part 8) - #JustPray
Lord's Prayer/everystockphoto.com
The Church of England has launched a new site, Just Pray, to offer advice on what prayer is and how to pray. The campaign is geared for the digital age, and one of its chosen venues to promote the new site is to advertise in theaters.
The clip below (which was cleared by the Cinema Advertising Authority and British Board of Film Classification) was scheduled when the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, debuted a week before Christmas.
( reference: https://youtu.be/rgN0s2xmCuM )
But the Digital Cinema Media, which handles most of the cinema advertising in the UK, barred the ad. They believe it "carries the risk of upsetting, or offending, audiences".

Physics (part 3) - 100 years of Einstein
wikipedia/GPB circling Earth
November, 2015 marks the centennial of Einstein papers that rocked the world and withstood the test of many experiments. Let me tell of story of a couple of these.
Gravity Probe B and Me ...
Briefly, I worked on the Gravity Probe B (GP-B) project. I say briefly because budget cuts curtailed my tenure, though I moved on to other projects. And that is another story.
Yet the decades old GP-B soldiered on and its satellite was launched in 2004. The experiment tested two elements of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity.
(1) The Geodetic Effect, a precession (like that of a spinning top) in curved space-time.
(2) The Frame-dragging Effect, space-time getting pulled out of shape by a rotating body.
For more information on this project and its results, please check out the official Stanford website: Gravity Probe B | Testing Einstein's Universe
Below is a good video that sums it all up.
(reference: https://youtu.be/noOkWegmVx4 )
But let's start at the very beginning ....
November, 1915, was a watershed month for physics. Einstein submitted four papers, one per week, to the Prussian Academy in Berlin. They launched the gravitational revolution of general relativity, overthrowing Newton's theory of the universe. [reference: Einstein's genius changed science's perception of gravity ]
Meanwhile, during this time, astronomers were on a serious
Search for the planet Vulcan ... no kidding
Newton's classic view of gravity led scientists to believe there was a hidden planet, which they called Vulcan, that caused Mercury's perturbations. But it took Einstein to crack this mystery, as explained below:
(reference: https://youtu.be/hSXNE0pNtr8 )
As Gravity Probe B in the 21st century would provide more evidence to vindicate general relativity, explaining the anomalies in Mercury's orbit gave convincing validation at the birth of this theory in the early 20th century.
Also, I wrote about this search for this planet that wasn't there and posted it on my website in the article: Mr. Spock and Dr. Einstein
As Einstein's General Relativity turns 100, it seems the theory will ...

Pop Culture (part 2) - Halloween Martian Invasion
wikipedia/War of the Worlds
Eve of Halloween: October 30, 1938
Now that was a night my mother remembered. As a young teenager listening to the radio, she heard the breaking news:
Martians invaded Earth ... and they landed in New Jersey!
She was scared, captivated by the Orson Welles broadcast based on the H.G. Wells science fiction novel - The War of the Worlds. Though disclaimers were given that this was only fiction, many in the audience missed it, and panic ensued. [reference: 1938 Welles scares the nation ]
An abridged audio of that broadcast is here below -
(reference: https://youtu.be/ClreKtEi4dM )
The generation that first heard this broadcast knew something about troubling times. In 1938, they had lived through most of the Great Depression, many remembering the Great War and hearing the rumblings of more wars to come.
From Wars of the Worlds to World Wars
Ironically, H. G. Welles wrote The War of the Worlds in 1898, sixteen years before World War I (1914 - 1918). And Orson Welles broadcast the radio version within a year of World War II (1939 - 1945). Both these World Wars surpassed the horror of science fiction.
Often society, science, and tech imitate art...
From book to radio to the big screen
The SciFi novel jumped from radio to the movies: The War of the Worlds (1953). And its remake in 2005 is shown in its trailer below:
(reference: https://youtu.be/msxe3yJPfyY )
And there have been countless stories about life on Mars and their invasions of Earth. Now, it's our turn, for real, as science and tech continue to follow SciFi.
Earthlings invade Mars
Humans via their robots have invaded Mars from 1976 with Viking 1 to the 21 century's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and Mars Curiosity Rover. Their findings are still in the news: MarsNews.com
As we plan to colonize Mars, more SciFi hit the big screen as The Martian (2015), still in theaters:
(referenence: https://youtu.be/HwSg_XFCE64 )
So our fascination with Mars continues in Pop Culture as science and tech follows SciFi.
The Classic Halloween Scary Story?
This October 31st, treat yourself to the original radio broadcast. For the full broadcast (its an hour long), see below:

And that one Halloween almost 80 years ago,

Biblia Files (part 6) - Crowns and Frowns
everystockphoto.com/crown and frown
Hee Haw was my Dad's favorite show, second only to Gunsmoke. I clearly remember the lament from their Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me segment, such as seen below:
(reference: https://youtu.be/lHcEWhbQkEg )
Even 40 years ago, they all were "first world problems." Though this Hee Haw segment is humorous, it expresses a tinge of sadness, dissatisfaction in this life.
Dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and such are maladies throughout the ages. As King Solomon said -
... there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV)
Crowns and Frowns
As the wisest man and greatest fools in some estimations, Solomon knew something about this gloom, despair and agony on me. This king had "everything" in this life from riches; his unfettered search for knowledge, wisdom, and meaning in this life; wanting more and getting more. Yet this king lamented his "first world problems" as so stated below:
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 1 (KJV)
What a Gloomy Gus!
This dissatisfaction is not new for "the man under the sun."
In the clip below unhappiness is seen as a malady of the modern age:
(reference: https://youtu.be/YzAFCU4RCnM )
What is the cure for this dissatisfaction?
At the end of the day, Solomon comes to terms with his unhappiness:
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Ecclesiastes 12 (KJV)
But Father knows best
Solomon's father, David,wrote in the psalm below during his trials in the desert of Judah. For more information on the background, check out: Psalm 63: Longing to Worship the LORD While in the Wilderness
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
Psalm 63 (KJV)
The balm for dissatisfaction and unhappiness is joy and praise. And this song praises David's greater son, Jesus, who blesses us in the heavenlies.
(reference: https://youtu.be/GbnpLFA4CWM )
We are no longer the man under the sun, but ...
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2 (KJV)
And to beat the blues:
... the joy of the Lord is your strength
Nehemiah 8:10 (KJV)

CC (part 6) - Pavle Orlovic
Wikipedia/The Kosovo Maiden, 1919
The picture above is Uros Predic's 1919 painting, inspired by the Serbian poem - The Maiden of Kosovo. During the aftermath of the Battle of Kosovo (1389), the maiden, who is seeking her fiance, gives the fatally wounded Pavle Orlovic some water. At this moment, this Serbian knight gives her the news that her beloved and her brothers are dead. Then Pavle Orlovic dies and passes into legend as well as an epic poem and a famous painting.

Below is a video clip from the movie, The Battle of Kosovo (1989), made for the 600th anniversary of the event. The scene when the sultan was killed by a Serbian noble dramatizes this long struggle between the Serbs and the Turks:

From the 14th into the 21st century, the battles of Kosovo continue. Most recent are the Kosovo conflict (1998-1999) and the continuing reprisals into the new century. [reference: Kosovo Conflict]
And if you read some of the comments in YouTube video above, the battle (with words) goes on and on.
Part 6 of the Commander and the Chief (CC) thread looks at this Balkan history.
In this excerpt from Book 1: His Tribe of One, the heroine Dr. Orlovic "the Chief" and her lineage (she is half Cheyenne and half Serbian) are discussed. Her agent Lord Wise is briefing Colonel Jack Sheffield on Nova's expedition to find her missing husband, Admiral Connor Quinn.
Jack questions Wise about his proposal:
"Remind me, again, why have you come to me with this mystery and not the Americans?"
"I come at the request of Dr. Orlovic."
"Doctor…who?"
"Admiral Quinn's widow, my client, Dr. Nova Orlovic." Then Wise presented her business card for Chief Rainmaker Winery. A silhouette of an Indian maiden in a war bonnet held a goblet with stars and galaxies bubbling out and surrounding the quote: The whole universe is in a glass of wine.
"Yes, yes, your boss, of course. I forget this bird didn't take the Admiral's name." Jack twirled the card in his fingers. "Orlovic. That's quite ethnic sounding."
Wise raised his brown eyebrows. "Her father's side goes back to the Serbian knights. She's quite proud of that name."
"Orlovic, yes. Stuff legends are made of. And I recall that name in War College studying the Battle of Kosovo." Then Jack raised a corner of his mouth. "But that first name—Nova? Sounds explosively stellar. And I can just imagine what she must be like in bed."
"No doubt many have, but I assure you she's a woman of virtue." Wise returned a fatherly look. "Her name has nothing to do with exploding stars. It's Indian as in Native American Indian. She has quite a fascinating family history. Father's side from the Balkans, mother's side Native American. But that's another story."
from Chapter 3: Soldier of Fortune
What about the name of Orlovic, the stuff legends are made of?
Some claims indicate one of Pavle Orlovic's notable descendants is the legendary scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla. [reference: Origin Orlovica]

Pop Culture (part 1) - Only Time and 9/11
Montre gousset/Wikipedia.com
Pop Culture reflects the mood and spirit of the times. So during a traumatic event, the right song can become a balm for healing. Such was the case for this turn-of-the-century song.
In November of 2000, Irish singer Enya released the album, A Day Without Rain. And one of the singles on that album was - Only Time
* Official video here: Only Time
* Lyrics: here
In 2000, Enya explained its meaning in an interview:
"I had to stop putting the pressure on myself, because of relationships coming and going, but if relationships aren't working that means they're not right. That's what the single Only Time is about." [reference: Enya News: A Day Without Rain Article ]
Then less than a year later, CNN showed scenes of the collapse of the World Trade Center accompanied with Only Time. [Reference: Music in American Crime Prevention and Punishment ]
And the video below shows a montage of the events on September 11, 2001:
(reference: https://youtu.be/Db209vjW2yo )
In response to the terrorist attacks, Only Time resonated with those seeking solace from the storm and looking forward to normalcy as the nation's psyche healed from this wound.
Later, Enya produced a remix of Only Time and donated the earnings of that single to the Uniform Firefighters Association Widows' and Children's Fund. This charity helped the families of those who gave their lives that day. [reference: http://enya.sk/a-day-without-rain/only-time ]
Never forget!
But ... Only Time will heal.

CC (part 5) - Audie Murphy
Audie Murphy/wikipedia.com
"Ah, Audie Murphy died!"
I clearly remember that day of the Memorial Day weekend in 1971. My mother looked at the morning newspaper and said that, mourning a loss of a great American hero, who perished in an airplane crash.
Frankly, a teenager at the time, I really didn't know anything about Audie Murphy. Yes, this dates me as a baby-boomer, whose parents were, as Tom Brakow coined the word: The Greatest Generation. My parents lived through the Great Depression, which ended with the onset of World War II.
I later learned one of the greatest heroes of that war was Audie Murphy. In fact, he was the most decorated World War II combat soldier, perhaps in all American history. [reference: Audie Murphy Facts]
And this soldier is the subject of part 5 of the CC (The Commander and the Chief) thread.
The first book of The Commander and the Chief series, His Tribe of One, makes a reference to Audie Murphy.
In this scene, Lord Wise briefs Colonel Jack Sheffield about another American hero, Admiral Connor Quinn, at a London tavern. The Admiral had died mysteriously and his widow is assembling a team to get to the bottom of his accident.
"Back to Admiral Quinn," Jack continued when they were alone, "word is, as a POW, he talked Yasser Nasser out of deploying his nukes, surrendering to the allies, and destroying all his weapons of mass destruction. That feat is legendary. Surely it'll go down in the annals of military history."
"Quite." Wise put away his reading glasses. "And not long after the war, the Admiral and Yasser Nasser were awarded the Alfred Peace Prize."
"With much pomp and ceremony." Jack wiped the brew from his blond mustache. "But the Admiral's death. Why would an admiral be flying alone? Into hostile air space? Especially where he'd previously been shot down? You send a drone, or one of your lackeys, someone more expendable. Not the Hero of the Dust Devil War."
Wise glanced about, then lowered his voice. "Precisely. The press reported it as an unfortunate accident. They likened it to the death of Audie Murphy, the most decorated American soldier of World War Two. Murphy, too, was tragically killed in a plane crash, years later after the war."
"And that should be the end of the story." Jack finished his brew.
"But it's not." Wise continued, "The US Navy SEALs were alleged to have retrieved the Admiral's remains in the desert—in the Forbidden Area. The Admiral's body was apparently badly mangled. That's why he had a closed casket funeral. He ostensibly has been laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery in a very public display on American television."
Jack squinted at Wise. "Sounds like you have doubts."
"My client…she has many unanswered questions." Wise rubbed his chin. "Dr. Orlovic has exhausted her resources at home. All her inquiries have been met with stonewalling and threats as she digs for answers. She believes the Todd Administration is covering up something terrible."
from His Tribe of One, Chapter 3, Soldier of Fortune
So who was Audie Murphy?
The clip below gives a summary of his heroics and his life after the war:
(reference: https://youtu.be/ZX2PbzV1go8 )
Back to the book:
Lord Wise seals the deal with Colonel Sheffield with a reference to one of Audie Murphy's movies, To Hell and Back.
"Dr. Orlovic is waiting at the Gladstone Hotel as we speak. Indeed. She has serious doubts. And she's wholly committed to do all she can to find her husband. Or at least find out what really happened to him." Wise finished his brew. "The logistics are in place. I've hired other agents. They know only what they need to know. But you're a critical piece, Colonel. An experienced soldier I can trust to lead this mission to hell and back."
"Why should I meddle in this American affair? What's in it for me?"
"First of all, we gambled that you'd take this job." Then Wise showed a page on his mobile display. "But I'm counting on my client's offer being one you cannot refuse."
Jack's blue eyes opened as wide as the Atlantic Ocean when he saw the seven-figure offer. "I'm in!" And they shook on it.
To Hell and Back:
And below is clip from the biographical movie, To Hell and Back (1955), showing the heroism of Audie Murphy, starring Audie Murphy as himself:
(reference: https://youtu.be/zWt3_E1ouMI )
After the war, Audie Murphy went to Hollywood. It took him a while to break into show business, but from 1948 to 1969 he made 44 films, a TV series, and other appearances. [reference: Audie Murphy - IMDb] He was also a successful songwriter (1962 - 1970). [reference: Songs by Audie]
This snippet from 1955 on What's My Line, before the movie To Hell and Back was released, tells what a big movie star he was in his day: Audie Murphy What's My Line on 3 July, 1955
But his life was not a bed of roses after the war ...
Audie Murphy and PTSD
Audie Murphy suffered from what we call post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with symptoms of insomnia, nightmares, depression. He battled addictions and suffered a tumultuous first marriage, which ended in divorce. But later he championed the returning Vietnam veterans and lobbied the government to extend health care to treat their PSTD and mental health problems. [reference: Audie Murphy and PTSD]
No Fairy Tale Ending
Gambling, womanizing, bad investments, bad publicity took their toll on this hero. In the late 1960s, Audie Murphy was bankrupt and his reckless actions had tarnished his public image. [reference: Audie Murphy Facts]
Audie Murphy grave/wikipedia.com
Like General Patton who survived World War II, but died in a car accident, Lt. Murphy survived the war, yet died in a plane crash on a business trip.
So was it announced that day on May 28, 1971 on the various evening news programs:
Audie Murphy Announcement of Death (NBC, ABC, and CBS)
He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. And his grave is the most visited site, only second to President John F. Kennedy. [reference: Audie Murphy Places]
70 years later ...
Shortly after this blog is posted, we will pass the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II on September 2, 1945.
[reference: End of World War II]
And what better tribute than to soldiers like Audie Murphy would fought and suffered, even many years after the war.
Here are some pages:
* From the military: Welcome to Audie Murphy Tribute Page
* His Memorial Page: Audie L. Murphy Memorial Website
My favorite site, The Audie Murphy Story: oldbluejacket.com/AudieMurphy
One final thought of bravery:
"Loyalty to your comrades, when you come right down to it, has more to do with bravery in battle than even patriotism does. You may want to be brave, but your spirit can desert you when things really get rough. Only you find you can't let your comrades down and in the pinch they can't let you down either."
And in the spirit of honoring those in World War Two, we are grateful for all veterans who have served and for those who still serve to keep us safe, home and abroad.

Nostalgia (part 4) - VJ Day Kiss - 70 years ago
Kissing the War Goodbye/Wikipedia.com
August 14, 1945 was the dawn, ending those dark days from 1939 - 1945 which were marked by a horrific world war. World War II left no continent untouched and a devastating body count. With causalities approaching 70 million, it may have been the worst war in recorded human history, such seen in this interactive video: The Fallen of World War II on Vimeo
But as the Psalmist wrote:
"... weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning."
Psalm 30:5 (KJV)
Finally the night of weeping ended and joy came with the unconditional surrender of Japan bringing with it a promise of peace.
This iconic kiss was a snapshot of that day - capturing the spirit of VJ Day - Victory over Japan. And I wrote about it five years ago in this blog: A kiss immortalized in August 14, 1945
Since then, the identity of the nurse has been challenged. Some have come forward claiming to be the sailor and the nurse in the photo. Even science has weighed in: Solving The 'VJ Day Kiss' Photograph Mystery Using Astronomy And Science
Who were they really?
Perhaps it's best to let it be. It was what it was ... a magical moment ... the hand of fate.
(reference: https://youtu.be/mPHRp0us9X4 )
And 70 years ago was a different time. During World War Two, America was united. We were bold and committed to what FDR said in his Pearl Harbor speech -
"No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion,
the American people in their righteous might
will win through to absolute victory. ...
With confidence in our armed forces,
with the unbounding determination of our people,
we will gain the inevitable triumph --
so help us God."
from: FDR: Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation
Yet, FDR would not live to see the end of the war, but died in office on April 12, 1945. [reference: FDR Dies]
But he inspired us to never give up and overcome in the face of overwhelming odds, like he never gave up when faced with a crippling handicap, as dramatized in this scene: The best part of the movie "Pearl Harbor"
And though I wasn't born yet, my parents had not met yet, it does make me feel nostalgic for a time when all Americans are united, again, and determined to fight for the right. And in the end experience ...
* The sweet kiss of victory! *

Michael joined Lingraphica in 2015. He brings more than 3 years of experience creating and managing social media campaigns, email campaigns, as well as pay-per-click ads. He also has a background in data analytics and vendor management. He holds a BS in Marketing with a minor in Communications from The University of New Hampshire.


Michele Bachmann likes to lecture Americans about how they're just not as smart as she is when it comes to understanding the importance of the Founding Fathers and their principles.
But speaking to a group of anti-taxers in Iowa, she got her history wrong.
In extolling the notion that "all men are created equal," she said of European immigrants that, "It didn't matter the color of their skin, it didn't matter their language, it didn't matter their economic status. Once you got here, we were all the same. Isn't that remarkable?"
But the white, male founders didn't consider African slaves fully human. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and many more of the founding fathers actually owned slaves.
"We also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States," Bachmann said.
Wrong again. The Founders didn't use the word "slavery" in the Constitution, but they did enshrine its practice in the notorious Three-Fifths Compromise. They weren't around to see it abolished, either. The Emancipation Proclamation wasn't made until 1862 and the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment didn't take place until 1865. James Madison lived longer than any founder, but he died 1836.
"I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly--men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country," Bachmann said.
Yes, Adams battled slavery and "Slave Power" throughout his years as a politician. He defended the Amistad slave mutineers against deportation.
But he wasn't one of our Founding Fathers. And it would have required his resurrection to see slavery "extinguished." Born in 1767, he died in 1848.
Maybe once she's done lecturing everyone about the Constitution and how we've forgotten about the Founding Fathers, Michele Bachmann can enroll in remedial American history.

Celtic queen Enya launches new album
The launch of her first album in seven years went relatively unnoticed as it coincided with Adele's latest release, but the queen of Celtic music is back to the delight of fans everywhere.
Enya's eighth studio album, 'Dark Sky Island' is already a chart topper in more than a dozen countries.
The singer songwriter says it was inspired by the night skies on the Channel island of Sark: "It was I'd say about six months prior to finishing that the theme of journey started to evolve. It was the journey to the island – Sark Island – the journey with the people and space, it was a physical journey of echoes and rain, going home, an emotional journey. So this was kind of a strong theme that evolved within the album."
Enya shot to global fame in 1988 with 'Orinoco Flow', the lead single of her second album 'Watermark'. But despite her popularity – Enya has sold some 80 million albums over three decades – she still enjoys a degree of anonymity.
"It goes back again to the success of 'Orinoco Flow' when the song was released it became successful without people knowing who I was. I heard comments, people saying to me they didn't know if it was a band, a singer, they didn't know anything about it. They enjoyed the song and in that regard, as a musician, I loved the fact that the success was on the music," she says.
Enya's latest album 'Dark Sky Island' is out now. The Irish folk singer has not excluded the possibility of taking her songs on tour later this year.

Elliptic Boundary-Value Problems in the Sense of Lawruk on Sobolev and Hörmander Spaces
A. A. Murach
I. S. Chepurukhina
We study elliptic boundary-value problems with additional unknown functions in boundary conditions. These problems were introduced by Lawruk. We prove that the operator corresponding to a problem of this kind is bounded and Fredholm in appropriate couples of the inner product isotropic Hörmander spaces H s,φ, which form the refined Sobolev scale. The order of differentiation for these spaces is given by a real number s and a positive function φ slowly varying at infinity in Karamata's sense. We consider this problem for an arbitrary elliptic equation Au = f in a bounded Euclidean domain Ω under the condition that u ϵ H s,φ (Ω), s < ord A, and f ϵ L 2 (Ω). We prove theorems on the a priori estimate and regularity of the generalized solutions to this problem.
