This is a list of unpublished books by notable people, alphabetized by author.  These notable people may be published authors, but not necessarily.

Unpublished novels
Sholem Aleichem: Motl, Peysi the Cantor's Son, left unfinished at the time of his death
Charles Alverson: The Word, Caleb and Lost in Austin

L. Frank Baum:  Our Married Life (1912), Johnson (1912), The Mystery of Bonita (1914) and Molly Oodle (1915). Reported in Katherine Rogers' L. Frank Baum:  Creator of Oz and Michael Patrick Hearn's The Annotated Wizard of Oz. According to Hearn, although not a published statement, The Mystery of Bonita is mentioned in contracts related to The Oz Film Manufacturing Company. The others are noted on file folders that once contained them and correspondence recovered from the Reilly & Lee offices, but the manuscripts themselves remain lost. The books were intended for adult readers and correspondence for the first of these, Our Married Life, indicates that, unlike his four published adult novels, he did not want these books to appear under a pseudonym. Frank Joslyn Baum's biography of L.

Facts So Romantic On Culture
Your Happiness Is Like a Rocking Chair
Posted By Jim Davies on Mar 23, 2016
Photograph by George W. Ackerman
Imagine that, for once just for kicks, you decided to play the lottery and, not long after, you saw that the winning numbers were yours. You're now millions of dollars richer. Do you think you'd be happier? Most of us think so. Now imagine that, instead of winning the lottery, you got into an accident and just learned that you'll be paralyzed from the waist down. That would be a downer, right?
I'd think that, too. But studies of people who have these great and terrible things happen to them follow a curious pattern: Lottery winners are happier and people put in wheelchairs are sadder—but not for very long. After a few months, they return to whatever level of happiness they were at before.
Like a rocking chair that levels out when you get off it, people seem to have a set point of happiness that they return to whatever life throws at them. We all know people who are miserable even though their lives seem just fine, and others whose lives are in ruin but somehow always seem cheerful. The difference in their happiness isn't due to differences in life-quality, but their different internal happiness set points: A shocking 80 percent of our happiness is, believe it or not, genetic. The reason this seems strange is because we have a cultural myth that says we're happy or sad because of how well our lives seem to be going. But our minds don't work like that; instead, they evolved to notice changes, and when something becomes the new normal—like suddenly having millions of dollars—we adjust.
Set points appear at many levels, and our survival usually depends on them not changing too drastically. Our body, for example, has many regulatory systems that work like a thermostat, keeping our bodies in equilibrium. Your brain has to stay near 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or really, really bad things will start to happen. If it rises only a few degrees, you start convulsing, and a few degrees more and you're dead. Your body has several strategies for maintaining the optimum temperature: increasing or decreasing blood flow through dilation, decreasing brain activity, or even the outright destruction of nerve cells. We have similar systems at work for pH levels, our endocrine system, and many others.
Happiness and brain temperature seem to have set points, but we also modify our behavior to maintain other set points that we're not consciously aware of. The historian Ruth Schwartz Cowan, for example, found that homemakers in the 1800s spent the same number of hours doing housework as homemakers in the 1990s. Even with all of the timesaving devices we've created since then, like washing machines and vacuum cleaners, people are still spending the same amount of time cleaning. Radio host Claudia Hammond says that there's no doubt radio editing is faster than a few decades ago, when it was done by cutting and connecting bits of tape. "But now that today's digital editing means we can edit much faster it has also allowed us to become fussier," she says, "removing every 'um' and 'er' and experimenting more with the order of a piece." She has a higher standard and, as a result, spends the same amount of time editing. Writing and sending emails also takes less time than writing and sending letters through the post. So do we spend less time communicating? No—rather than keeping the number of communications the same and saving time for other, more worthwhile things, we end up sending more email.
There's also a phenomenon we may call "dietary licensing"—a person who snacks on just doughnuts on one occasion will, on another occasion, eat more doughnuts if they're paired with a salad.
Interestingly, in these cases, our set point is how much time we believe should be spent on something, not some more objective level of, say, how clean the house should be or the quality of the radio show. We are like a thermostat of time, working more or less to maintain an unconscious set point. It might have been the other way around, with set points relating to quality, but it's not.
There also seems to be a set point for morality—a point at which we feel that we're being "good enough" and then stop trying. One study, for example, had a group of people imagine performing some good deed (cleaning a park area of a university). The people who did the imagining were then more likely to cheat on a game that would give them money than a control group, who did not imagine performing a good deed beforehand. This suggests that even thinking about doing something good can get you to let yourself morally off the hook, free to do something bad. What's more, people who buy "green" products are, everything else being equal, subsequently more likely to cheat and steal. This offsetting of good behavior is known as moral licensing.
There's also a phenomenon we may call "dietary licensing"—people who take dietary supplements engage in more unhealthy behaviors. The set point for healthy eating also makes people think that calories from good foods somehow subtract calories from the bad. So a person who snacks on just doughnuts on one occasion will, on another occasion, eat more doughnuts if they're paired with a salad. Eating the salad actually makes you eat more doughnuts, because you feel you are doing something healthy to offset them. (This effect is stronger for people who are trying to lose weight!)
These psychological tendencies have ramifications at the society level. There is wide consensus that reducing our carbon emissions will slow global warming, and many think that if we find more efficient energy sources, it will reduce emissions. But efficiencies in electricity generation and light bulbs have lead people to compensate for those efficiencies by using more artificial light. As prices fell, people spent more energy. This casts doubt on the idea that we can fight carbon emissions with efficiency. It seems that people have some set point of how much money to spend on electricity, and if we make it more efficient, people will just use more.
Though they're completely unconscious, our struggle to maintain these set points has big ramifications for the health of our bodies, as well as the whole biosphere. At a political level, we might need laws to help us curb these effects; at a personal level, we might need conscious strategies to make sure we don't undo the good we achieve by unconsciously licensing the bad.
We become hazardous to ourselves, and others, if we don't.

Virgil Hovis of Hovis Service Station and Hovis Motors, Bridge Street and Kramer Place, addressed council, asking the possibilities of obtaining a change in zoning allowing hup to purchase, the-property owned by. the Pittsburgh .Railways Company and formerly used q? ii trolley loop. He has an option to purchase the property and wishes to place lights and gasoline ptunps on the other side of his present Sunoco Station, to alleviate crowded conditions and make it safer and simpler for customers to use the service station, Ho pointed out .that more lighting would make the bridge approach,safer for pedestrians, as well as motorists, He also said that some of tire conditions surrounding Ills present buildings were the result of lack of room and that he wanted to emphasize the service station portion of the business.' ' Criticism leveled at the proposal included the history of the past development. Council was informed by Councilman Carl Wahl, who lives nearby, that some years ago Mr. Hovis had brought in an architect's drawing of a one story building designed as a showroom for ears. Council grauted the necessary permission, as the service station is it non-conforming use in a residential district, ftnd a nondescript 2-slory building was erected on the lot, used cars and wrecked cars are stored beside the building and tire borough lias trouble with debris, scrap and rags on the premises. The problem was referred to the live-man councilmanic planning committee for further study and recommendation at .the next meeting.	:	,,

Man, 73, arrested in shooting of ex-girlfriend
Man gets 6 years in deadly East Bakersfield shooting
40-pound cabbage inspires 9-year-old to reduce food insecurity in the United States
by: Laura Smith
Posted: Jan 31, 2019 / 10:15 PM PST / Updated: May 22, 2019 / 12:00 PM PDT
1 in 8 people in the United States struggles to put food on their plates. That's according to the latest 2017 statistics released by the non-profit FeedingAmerica.org.
But, a South Carolina woman has been on a mission to lower that number, one garden at a time, since she was in elementary school.
Katie Stagliano proves that age is just a number and it's never too early to achieve your dream.
"I started all of this when I was 9 years old." Katie's dream? To reduce food insecurity in the United States, and it's a real and big problem.
40 million people live in a household that's food insecure, including more than 12 million children.
So back in 2008, as a 3rd grader, Katie got to work in the garden.
Katie says "I brought my seedling home. I planted it in my back yard and it just kept growing and growing."
And before she knew it, that seed turned into a cabbage checking in at a whopping 40 pounds.
"I was just blown away," says Stagliano, "I didn't even know cabbages could even grow to be that big and I was just like this is far too much food for my family and I to eat."
It was at that moment that Katie knew exactly what she wanted to do with the cabbage. "I decided I wanted to donate my cabbage to a soup kitchen and help families who didn't have enough to eat." And that 40-pound cabbage fed 275 people. "That's when I got the idea that would change my life forever."
Katie's dream, planted and from that, her non-profit Katie's Krops was grown.
"Imagine how many people an entire garden could feed and that was the start of Katie's Krops. It all kind of snowballed from there."
Snowballed into her non-profit that now has 100 gardens growing in 31 states across the country, all run by youth between the 9 and 16, in their backyards, at schools, community centers, churches, and libraries.
In the Lowcountry of South Carolina, students at Oak Christian school are getting their hands dirty while giving back.
Cheron Bryant, the teacher who runs the garden there tells us "We've been a Katie's Krops grower for about four years now" and continues, saying "In 2018 alone we grew over 500 pounds of fresh produce that we donated."
"The kids love it, they love it," Cheron says. "I can be walking in the hallway and they will be like when do we get to go to the garden again?"
And that garden has been transformed into an outdoor classroom.
"They find worms, they find lizards and frogs, and they get to see how their gardens are growing." Cheron says the kids can't get enough and are learning in the process. "I've had parents say how did you get my child to eat salad? How did you get them to eat lettuce? It's because they planted it and harvested it, they got to touch and feel it."
This is the amazing impact Katie's Krops is having around the country. Katie tells us "It's so important for kids to learn about gardening at an early age or how to be able to feed themselves, feed their neighbors."
And Katie's work and good deeds over the last 11 years have not gone unnoticed. She's received national recognition, including from US food company General Mills.
In 2018, Katie's Krops donated more than 40,000lbs of fresh produce to people in need.
And there are so many ways you can help her organization end hunger. You can start a garden or buy something off Katie's Krop's wish list, just head to KatiesKrops.com.
Oh, and if you're curious. The 40-pound cabbage she grew in 2008 is still her biggest vegetable to date, and cabbages are still her favorite thing to grow.

Acupuncture For Postoperative Pain A Literature Review - [Acupuncture for postoperative pain, a literature review].
Finally, acupressure is an acupuncture-related treatment modality that is easy to implement in a clinical ambulatory setting. Quality of acupuncture, acupressure, and point selection in the papers Acupuncture treatment and the theory behind it vary across published research studies. Figure 1 displays a flow diagram of the paper-selection process. Only four out of the 16 articles reported adequate allocation concealment. Among the included studies, nine studies were presented as being performed in an ambulatory setting. While acupressure more or less exclusively is used for PONV in ambulatory anesthesia, acupuncture is in addition used for other morbidities, such as pain, emergence agitation, sore throat, and hypothermia Tables 1 and 2. It is also common, and indeed relevant for an acupuncturist, to present a rationale for the selection of acupoints.
[Acupuncture for postoperative pain, a literature review].
Our review process has also revealed that a lack of knowledge and clinical experience of acupuncture might bias a review or meta-perspective of the topic. Sixteen studies were included; eight studies reported on acupuncture and eight on acupressure. One study using intravenous anesthesia found acupuncture effective, 59 and one found it was not effective.
Overall, the studies were of fairly good quality. Filters were English language, human, and clinical trial. Further, one more study seemed to be relevant. Our findings support the use of acupuncture for postoperative pain a literature review as adjuvant therapy in treating postoperative pain.
The cumulative use of opioid analgesics was defined as the cumulative amount sum within 24 hours after surgery mg In addition, planned subgroup analysis of thesis of education management effectiveness was performed according to difference interventions ie, acupuncture eletroacupuncture, transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation TEASand control.
It has also been held that acustimulation is ineffective when performed while under anesthesia. Studies were also excluded if the outcomes of interest were not presented quantitatively. Multimodal analgesic treatment is thus recommended for POP. For the purpose of our review, these studies were regarded as virtually having been conducted in an ambulatory anesthesia setting.
Consequently, we might have missed some eligible RCTs published elsewhere. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, May Thirteen studies were included for qualitative and quantitative analyses [ 12 — 24 ]. Well aware of this potential for bias, we developed a tool to explore the acupuncture relevance of related techniques.
It is also common, and indeed relevant for an acupuncturist, to present a rationale for the selection of acupoints. These involved therapeutic modalities including acupuncture injection, 3839 electroacupuncture, 4041 transcutaneous electro acupoint stimulation, 4243 auricular acupuncture, 4445 Korean hand acupressure, 4647 and capsicum plaster used on acupuncture points.
Results Literature Search Of the articles identified in the initial search, were excluded for not being relevant Fig 1. Data extraction and quality assessment The following information was extracted from studies that met the inclusion criteria: Another publication bias, also referred to as the bias against the null hypothesis, is the tendency for published studies to report statistically significant results, as authors tend to refrain from submitting articles with negative results, and peer reviewers tend to reject reviewing, editors tend not to publish, the dissertation a guide for architecture students pdf readers tend to ignore the results of such studies.
All analyses were performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis statistical software, version 2. According to TCM, energy free flows within the body and also along paths referred to as meridians. Hence, we have addressed some of the issues related to this diversity in acupuncture research.
A study by White et al 86 showed that acupuncture has little preemptive effect; the optimal timing of stimulation seemed pew homework gap be postoperatively.
Selection of papers The search performed in Medline, PubMed, latex writing service Embase provided a total of, and references, respectively. Meta-analyses and reviews of acupuncture and related techniques for postoperative nausea and vomiting POVN and postoperative vomiting POV show promising results while many clinicians remain skeptical of the value of acupuncture.
In this figure, the acupuncture relevance of acupuncture-related techniques is compared with skin-penetrating acupuncture needles and acupressure stimulation. Given the interest in finding safe non-pharmacological approaches toward postoperative care, this body of knowledge needs to be considered.
Anesthesia as risk factor for PONV Propofol has antiemetic properties, and it advantages of doing research proposal now well established that maintenance of anesthesia with propofol is superior to that with volatile agents, including isoflurane theme essay rubric sevoflurane with or without nitrous oxide, in terms of reducing PONV in adults and children.
The lines from the hub O represent the modality continuum of optimal acupuncture—suboptimal acupuncture, illustrated as spokes in a wheel. A review by Wang et al 85 indicated that acupuncture is effective when performed pre- and postoperatively.
Any difference between the control and sham groups could be related to placebo responses, including potential nonspecific and specific effects of sham treatment. Introduction Postoperative pain results from surgical trauma and is a significant challenge for healthcare providers [ 1 ]. Placebo controls commonly used include sham acupuncture acupuncture on non-acupuncture pointssuperficial acupuncture penetrating needling of the skinand placebo acupuncture needles needles not penetrating the skin.
The reports of adverse events in this study showed that this sham procedure was far from a tactile stimulation. Statistical analysis The primary outcome was the pain score on the first day Day 1 following surgery.
Acupressure can be performed by patients, parents, and care providers.
In a clinical setting, skin-penetrating body acupuncture might be regarded as optimal acupuncture stimulation, compared with other acupuncture-related techniques, even though these techniques are considered as acupuncture. While acupressure more or less exclusively is used for PONV in ambulatory anesthesia, acupuncture is in addition used for other morbidities, such as pain, emergence agitation, sore throat, acupuncture for postoperative pain a literature review hypothermia Tables 1 and 2.
Acupressure can be performed by patients, parents, and care providers. In addition, antiemetic drugs can cause unpleasant adverse events, such as agitation and restlessness, sedation and delayed awakening, extrapyramidal reactions, headache, blurred vision, dry mouth, and tachycardia. In addition, no publication bias was detected.
This raises an interesting question as to whether or not there are point-specific effects of acupressure; however, this discussion is beyond the scope of this review.
Is it an arrangement made between two people for the sake of convenience. In the united states, Elizabeth was used to staying discriminated from on membership she was woman.
Nine studies out of 16 found acupuncture or btm-8109 planning dissertation research in business effective on primary endpoints including PONV, POP, sore throat, and emergence agitation.
Conventional precautions such as unbiased selection, power calculation, homogeneity, and clearly defined outcomes must be fulfilled to ensure validity and reliability.
The literature search identified 15 peer-reviewed RCTs that met the inclusion criteria. This may have resulted in selection bias. Sensitivity analysis using the leave-one-out approach indicated the findings are reliable and are not dependent on any one study. The review advantages of doing research proposal selection of studies, study data extraction, and quality assessment were hand-searched by two independent reviewers, and if necessary a third reviewer was consulted to resolve any uncertainties regarding the inclusion.
The other, which was performed inevaluated the use of acupuncture more broadly following surgery [ 1 ]. Recommendations for future research Research on complex therapies, such as acupuncture, should be conducted with an approach toward the whole treatment package, including placebo responses, using a pragmatic design.
The so-called sham was placed on the dorsum of theme essay rubric arm, probably off an acupuncture apply texas essay c ideas. The following search terms were used: Some studies also indicate that the effect of acupuncture and acupressure was similar to that of antiemetic drugs.
One study was open. Four studies reported the need for rescue medication 5261626466 and five reported adverse events.
[Full text] Acupuncture in ambulatory anesthesia: a review | AA Only papers published in English or Chinese were included.
Other acupuncture-related techniques advantages of doing research proposal be regarded to be in the same category of alternative therapeutic approaches. Materials and methods Search strategy Articles were identified through computerized literature searches.
For the purpose of this review, we focused on homogeneity in the selection process. Editor who approved publication: Acupuncture is often used to treat pain, and numerous studies have found it is safe compared to routine care [ 6 — 9 ]. In addition to the 15 published studies, we included one relevant article in press, 37 meaning the review encompassed, in total, 16 RCTs.
The use of placebo controls is controversial due to their large nonspecific effects, which may imply difficulties in detecting the effects of the intervention and in interpreting results.
Among the included studies, nine studies were presented as being performed in an ambulatory setting. Figure 1 displays a flow diagram of the paper-selection process. Four studies found acupuncture had a similar effect to antiemetic medication. Restricting the review according to our selection criteria could have introduced risk of publication bias, as unpublished articles were excluded, and articles not subjected to peer review were likely not identified.
The secondary outcome was the cumulative use of opioid analgesics in the acupuncture and control treatment groups. For how long should the needles be retained?
Sensitivity analysis was carried out for primary outcome using the leave-one-out approach. The literature search also identified numerous other studies on acupuncture-related techniques other than needling acupuncture and acupressure. Post-anesthetic morbidities remain challenging in our daily practice of anesthesia.
Other methodology issues Eight out of the 16 articles employed a power calculation, 3757 — 6266 but one study was completed before the sample size was attained, 61 and in one study the description of the calculation was unclear. We decided to include articles published after the yeardue to the fact that anesthesiology and surgical techniques, and methodology in acupuncture research, have been developed further in recent decades.
Research methodology should be rigorous and have acupuncture for postoperative pain a literature review specific focus toward blinding, placebo, and allocation concealment. Hence, the study was excluded. A number of clinical studies have evaluated the efficacy of acupuncture and related methods as adjuvant treatment for postoperative analgesia [ 1 ].

Tech Sassy Girlz Awarded with Grant Funding by Nielsen Foundation
Dec 4, 2019 | Lifestyle
Nonprofit Garners National Interest by Efforts to Spark Diversity and Inclusion
ORLANDO, FL, December 04, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ — The Nielsen Foundation, a private foundation funded by Nielsen, a global measurement and data analytics company, has awarded Tech Sassy Girlz (TSG) with funding to support its efforts to spark diversity and inclusion in technology fields. The Nielsen Foundation seeks to enhance use of data by the social sector to reduce discrimination, ease global hunger, promote effective education, and build strong leadership.
"We are thrilled that we have been awarded with a grant again from the Nielsen Foundation. Their financial support of $22,500 will go toward supporting Tech Sassy Girlz programs. The Foundation's support of our organization helps to raise our profile and attracts more interest in our cause and the impact we're making for future women in STEM," says Laine Powell, Ed.D., Tech Sassy Girlz Founder and Executive Director.
Founded in 2012, TSG was created to cultivate young girls to aspire as innovators, makers, entrepreneurs and pioneers of the future. The organization works to empower middle and high school girls to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields through college preparation, career readiness, and mentoring. To date, TSG has touched the lives of more than 800 middle and high school "girlz" and awarded more than $25,000 in STEM scholarships.
According to national research, in 2020, 1 million tech jobs will be available in the United States, but the vast majority of U.S. students will be unprepared to fill them. 51 percent of all STEM jobs are projected to be in computer science-related fields. The federal government alone needs an additional 10,000 IT and cybersecurity professionals, and the private sector need many more. STEM fields are at the core of the nation's innovation.
In 2015, research showed that only 22 percent of students taking the Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science exam were girls, and only 13 percent were African-American or Latino students. These statistics mirror the current makeup of some of America's largest and more innovative tech firms, where women comprise less than one-third of their technical employees, and African-Americans less than three percent.
"Tech Sassy Girlz is a program that aligns with the Nielsen Foundation's priorities, which include technology, education and diversity & inclusion. We are committed to making a global impact in these areas to enable the next generation of extraordinary and diverse leaders, and we're thrilled to support Tech Sassy Girlz as part of this mission," says Emily Epstein, President, Secretary & Executive Director– Governance, Nielsen Foundation.
Computer science can help foster computational thinking skills that are relevant to many disciplines and careers, such as breaking a large problem into smaller ones, recognizing how new problems relate to ones that have already been solved, setting aside details of a problem that are less important, and identifying and refining the steps needed to reach a solution. Programs like TSG that foster STEM by providing access to mentors and immersion are helping to inspire young girls and are changing the face of technology.
"Computer science and data science are not only important for the tech sector, but also for a growing number of industries, including transportation, healthcare, education, and financial services, that are using software to transform their products and services. In fact, more than two-thirds of all tech jobs are outside the tech sector," says Powell. "It gives students opportunities to be producers and makers, not just consumers, in the digital economy, and to be active citizens in our technology-driven world," she adds.

About Tech Sassy GIrlz:
With a mission to empower middle and high school-age girls to pursue future careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), Central Florida-based non-profit organization Tech Sassy Girlz is leading the way in inspiring the next generation of female STEM professionals.

The Ancient Pagan Origins of Easter
Easter is a festival and holiday celebrated by millions of people around the world who honor the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred three days after his crucifixion at Calvary. It is also the day that children excitedly wait for the Easter bunny to arrive and deliver their treats of chocolate eggs.
The date upon which Easter is held varies from year to year, and corresponds with the first Sunday following the full moon after the March equinox. It occurs on different dates around the world since western churches use the Gregorian calendar , while eastern churches use the Julian calendar.
While Easter, as we know it today, was never a pagan festival , its roots and many of its traditions have associations with ancient pagan customs and beliefs.
According to the New Unger's Bible Dictionary: "The word Easter is of Saxon origin, Eastra, the goddess of spring, in whose honour sacrifices were offered about Passover time each year. By the eighth century Anglo–Saxons had adopted the name to designate the celebration of Christ's resurrection." However, even among those who maintain that Easter has pagan roots, there is some disagreement over which pagan tradition the festival emerged from. Here we will explore some of those perspectives.

Resurrection as a Symbol of Rebirth
One theory that has been put forward is that the Easter story of crucifixion and resurrection is symbolic of rebirth and renewal and retells the cycle of the seasons, the death and return of the sun.
According to some scholars, such as Dr. Tony Nugent, teacher of Theology and Religious Studies at Seattle University, and Presbyterian minister, the Easter story comes from the Sumerian legend of Damuzi ( Tammuz) and his wife Inanna ( Ishtar), an epic myth called "The Descent of Inanna" found inscribed on cuneiform clay tablets dating back to 2100 BC. When Tammuz dies, Ishtar is grief–stricken and follows him to the underworld. In the underworld, she enters through seven gates, and her worldly attire is removed. "Naked and bowed low" she is judged, killed, and then hung on display. In her absence, the earth loses its fertility, crops cease to grow and animals stop reproducing. Unless something is done, all life on earth will end.
After Inanna has been missing for three days her assistant goes to other gods for help. Finally one of them Enki, creates two creatures who carry the plant of life and water of life down to the Underworld, sprinkling them on Inanna and Damuzi, resurrecting them, and giving them the power to return to the earth as the light of the sun for six months. After the six months are up, Tammuz returns to the underworld of the dead, remaining there for another six months, and Ishtar pursues him, prompting the water god to rescue them both. Thus were the cycles of winter death and spring life.

Dr. Nugent is quick to point out that drawing parallels between the story of Jesus and the epic of Inanna "doesn't necessarily mean that there wasn't a real person, Jesus, who was crucified, but rather that, if there was, the story about it is structured and embellished in accordance with a pattern that was very ancient and widespread."
The Sumerian goddess Inanna is known outside of Mesopotamia by her Babylonian name, "Ishtar". In ancient Canaan Ishtar is known as Astarte, and her counterparts in the Greek and Roman pantheons are known as Aphrodite and Venus. In the 4th Century, when Christians identified the exact site in Jerusalem where the empty tomb of Jesus had been located, they selected the spot where a temple of Aphrodite (Astarte/Ishtar/Inanna) stood. The temple was torn down and so the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was built, the holiest church in the Christian world.
Dr. Nugent points out that the story of Inanna and Damuzi is just one of a number of accounts of dying and rising gods that represent the cycle of the seasons and the stars. For example, the resurrection of Egyptian Horus; the story of Mithras, who was worshipped at Springtime; and the tale of Dionysus, resurrected by his grandmother. Among these stories are prevailing themes of fertility, conception, renewal, descent into darkness, and the triumph of light over darkness or good over evil.
Easter as a Celebration of the Goddess of Spring
A related perspective is that, rather than being a representation of the story of Ishtar, Easter was originally a celebration of Eostre, goddess of Spring, otherwise known as Ostara, Austra, and Eastre. One of the most revered aspects of Ostara for both ancient and modern observers is a spirit of renewal.
Celebrated at Spring Equinox on March 21, Ostara marks the day when light is equal to darkness, and will continue to grow. As the bringer of light after a long dark winter, the goddess was often depicted with the hare, an animal that represents the arrival of spring as well as the fertility of the season.
According to Jacob Grimm's Deutsche Mythologie , the idea of resurrection was ingrained within the celebration of Ostara: "Ostara, Eástre seems therefore to have been the divinity of the radiant dawn, of upspringing light, a spectacle that brings joy and blessing, whose meaning could be easily adapted by the resurrection-day of the christian's God."
Most analyses of the origin of the word 'Easter' agree that it was named after Eostre, an ancient word meaning 'spring', though many European languages use one form or another of the Latin name for Easter, Pascha, which is derived from the Hebrew Pesach, meaning Passover.
Easter and Its Connection to Passover
Easter is associated with the Jewish festival of Passover through its symbolism and meaning, as well as its position in the calendar. Some early Christians chose to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on the same date as Passover, which reflects Easter having entered Christianity during its earliest Jewish period. Evidence of a more developed Christian festival of Easter emerged around the mid-second century.
In 325 AD, Emperor Constantine convened a meeting of Christian leaders to resolve important disputes at the Council of Nicaea. Since the church believed that the resurrection took place on a Sunday, the Council determined that Easter should always fall on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. Easter has since remained without a fixed date but proximate to the full moon, which coincided with the start of Passover.
While there are distinct differences between the celebrations of Pesach and Easter, both festivals celebrate rebirth – in Christianity through the resurrection of Jesus, and in Jewish traditions through the liberation of the Israelites from slavery.

The Origins of Easter customs
The most widely-practiced customs on Easter Sunday relate to the symbol of the rabbit ('Easter bunny') and the egg. As outlined previously, a hare was a symbol associated with Eostre, representing the beginning of Springtime. Likewise, the egg has come to represent Spring, fertility, and renewal. In Germanic mythology, it is said that Ostara healed a wounded bird she found in the woods by changing it into a hare. Still partially a bird, the hare showed its gratitude to the goddess by laying eggs as gifts.
The Encyclopedia Britannica clearly explains the pagan traditions associated with the egg: "The egg as a symbol of fertility and of renewed life goes back to the ancient Egyptians and Persians, who had also the custom of colouring and eating eggs during their spring festival." In ancient Egypt, an egg symbolised the sun, while for the Babylonians, the egg represents the hatching of the Venus Ishtar, who fell from heaven to the Euphrates.

So where did the tradition of an egg-toting Easter Bunny come from? The first reference can be found in a German text dating to 1572 AD: "Do not worry if the Easter Bunny escapes you; should we miss his eggs, we will cook the nest," the text reads. But it wasn't until the tradition made its way to the United States via the arrival of German immigrants, that the custom took on its current form. By the end of the 19th century, shops were selling rabbit-shaped candies, which later became the chocolate bunnies we have today, and children were being told the story of a rabbit that delivers baskets of eggs, chocolate and other candy on Easter morning.
In many Christian traditions, the custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life. Christians remember that Jesus, after dying on the cross, rose from the dead, showing that life could win over death. For Christians, the egg is a symbol of the tomb in which the body of Jesus was placed, while cracking the egg represents Jesus' resurrection. In the Orthodox tradition, eggs are painted red to symbolize the blood Jesus shed on the cross .

Regardless of the very ancient origins of the symbol of the egg, most people agree that nothing symbolizes renewal more perfectly than the egg – round, endless, and full of the promise of life.
While many of the pagan customs associated with the celebration of Spring were at one stage practised alongside Christian Easter traditions, they eventually came to be absorbed within Christianity, as symbols of the resurrection of Jesus. The First Council of Nicaea (325 AD) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the March equinox .
Whether it is observed as a religious holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or a time for families in the northern hemisphere to enjoy the coming of Spring and celebrate with egg decorating and Easter bunnies, the celebration of Easter still retains the same spirit of rebirth and renewal, as it has for thousands of years.

Still pretty nasty you signify eating the blood of an entity. That sounds like a twisted blood cult. Vampires drink blood also.

You do realize that 300 million or so Orthodox Christians have never celebrated 'easter' nor do they follow the date of the Western calendar calculations for Pascha (the Paschal celebration of the Resurrection).
Besides, Pascha is never before or on the same day as Passover.
Our red eggs come from ancient times and have no association with bunnies.
We hardboil and dye eggs red. After Liturgy on Pascha...the red eggs are blessed cracked and eaten as we break a 7 week Fast.
The red is for the blood of Christ, the egg is a tomb and cracking the egg represents the resurrection!
All of this was going on in the Eastern Church's before the Protestant Reformation.
You really need to broaden your knowledge of Christianity beyond Europe!

You sure do get a lot of abuse for trying to shine some light on this subject. I clicked on it thinking it was going to be the usual reliance on the goddess Eastra who is mentioned only once in any historical reference, but your treatment of the material I think does justice to all the traditions in their turn.So thank you for your article. .

Plans announced for fourth annual Middlewich Roman Festival this summer
THE ROMAN Empire is preparing to conquer Middlewich this summer.
It has been announced that the town's Roman Festival returns on September 24-25 to reclaim the historic Harbutts Field for what organisers promise will be the biggest and best event yet.
Thousands of visitors are expected to enjoy the fourth festival will also mark the 10th anniversary since the town first celebrated its Roman roots in 2001.
Historians believe Harbutts Field was home to a Roman fort and a number of important relics have been found there.
The centre piece of the event will once again be the stunning reenactment led by The Ermine Street Guard group whose spectacular show wowed huge crowds in 2007.
The free event will also feature the Raphael Falconry team, specialist traders and an array of exhibits including the 'Virtual Dig' and The Odeon Theatre.
There will also be demonstrations, children's activities and displays.
Town Mayor Mike Parsons said: "It makes you consider Middlewich before the roads and especially before the canals.
"People do see Middlewich in a different light. You see them thinking ''is this what it would have been like?'
"It is also a fantastic event for the whole family."
Kerry Fletcher of Middlewich Vision added: "Our aim for this year is to keep heritage costs down but maximise our resources, partnership working and pool together our knowledge and enthusiasm."

Talking to the multitude
New research co-authored by Gates Cambridge Scholar Braxton Boran looks at the potential size of the crowd who gathered to hear the Anglican preacher George Whitefield in the 18th century.
How many people heard the great speeches of the past – from the Gettysburg Address to the Sermon on the Mount – and just what could they hear?
New research by Gates Cambridge Scholar Braxton Boran [2009] and Agnieszka Roginska at New York University's Music and Audio Research Lab studied the potential size of the crowd who gathered to hear the Anglican preacher George Whitefield in the 18th century. At the time it was estimated that crowds of up to 80,000 came to hear the preacher, who was described as having a voice "like the roar of a lion".
Benjamin Franklin, then the publisher of the Pennsylvania Gazette in Philadelphia, doubted that one man could speak to so many people so when Whitefield arrived in Philadelphia, Franklin performed an acoustic experiment to predict how many people could have heard Whitefield's voice. Franklin walked backwards from the crowd listening to Whitefield and measured the distance at which his voice ceased to be intelligible. Based on this radius, Franklin estimated that more than 30,000 people could have heard Whitefield speak at once.
The researchers say that, while cutting-edge for its day, Franklin's experiment left out many important acoustic factors that could have affected the result and that acoustic computer modelling can give a more accurate answer to the range of the unamplified human voice.
They used period maps and drawings of Philadelphia along with archaeological and temperature data to construct a computer model of Philadelphia at the time, including potential background noises.
They then calculated the density of the crowd based on "solid" crowd conditions, which is usually about 0.5 square meters per person.
They say that in the Mayfair and Moorfields areas of London, it would not have been possible for reported crowds of 80,000 and 60,000 people respectively to hear Whitefield's voice even under optimistic acoustic conditions, and if the crowd was noisy or Whitefield was feeling hoarse, they state that the maximum number of listeners would have decreased sharply. However, at Kennington Common, the most wide-open of the three sites, they believe that the largest reported crowd of 50,000 could have heard Whitefield's voice under optimal conditions.
They estimate that Franklin's overall method of estimating the acoustic range of the voice was fairly accurate, although he based his calculations on an overly dense crowd.
The researchers, who presented their findings at a meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in San Francisco in December, say: "Without a time machine, we will never know these crowd sizes exactly, but by applying scientific techniques to historical data we can still discover new pieces of the past that had previously been lost."
Braxton Boren did an MPhil in Physics at the University of Cambridge, supported by a Gates Cambridge Scholarship.
