Litvakus Bring Their Rare, Deliriously Fun, Decades-Old Dance Tunes to the Upper West
On one hand, Litvakus' latest album is kick-ass party music with lyrics – mostly in Yiddish – like "May you always have whiskey to fill your glasses." On the other hand, it's nothing short of amazing how frontman/clarinetist Dmitri Zisl Slepovitch's band has rescued obscure songs hidden away, in some cases for more than a century, in dusty vaults that enterprising music students were very strongly discouraged from prowling around in. But Slepovitch doesn't give up easily. Back in his native Belarus, his first band, Minsker Kapelye played their first-ever show across the street from KGB headquarters. And they got away with it. Litvakus' new album Raysn may come across with a distinct, regional sound, but they have the fearless heart and soul of the Clash.
They're playing Tuesday night, Feb 10 at 7:30 PM as part of one of New York's most reliably exciting concert series in the basement of Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, 30 W 68th St (Broadway/Columbus) where drummer Aaron Alexander puts on more-or-less weekly shows featuring the creme de la creme of Jewish music from around the globe: in the klezmer world, a gig here means you've arrived. Concertgoers have more than one option: if you just want a quick shot of adrenaline before you head home, you can see the show for $15. For musicians, there's a pre-concert music class at 5:30, followed by a long jam session afterward, and all of that's $35. And maybe there's a nosh, or a drink, who knows – it's a lively, multi-generational, quintessentially New York scene.
The album – streaming at Bandcamp – takes its name from the old Yiddish term for what is now Belarus, for centuries a multicultural melting pot that resulted in some unique cross-pollination. Slepovitch has collected songs with both Jewish and Belorussian origins as well as a couple of boisterous originals, one of which he wrote in an inspired moment on the Q train.
The album opens with its most otherworldly track, a droning yet kinetic instrumental featuring Slepovitch on the svirel, the Belorussian counterpart to the English shawm. From there the group – Craig Judelman on violin, Taylor Bergren-Crisman on bass, Josh Camp on accordion and Sam Weisenberg on standup drum – weave their way into a swaying, minor-key, chromatically charged dance. The segue between the next two songs, Judelman handing off elegantly to Slepovitch, is so seamless that it's impossible to tell where one ends and the next begins unless you listen closely. They keep the bouncing, bustling drive going with a fond look back at a little country town where people really like to party.
Bergren-Crisman bows his bass furiously as the next medley, a couple of pulsing traditional Belorussian dances, gets underway and then subtly segues into the Middle Eastern-tinged freygish scale, equivalent to the Arabic hijaz mode. Then Slepovitch brings it down with an ancient, plaintive, lovelorn waltz, his clarinet stark against the dark washes of bass and accordion and Judelman's poignant doublestops. From there the band picks it up again, Slepovitch's clarinet bobbing and weaving with an unselfconscious joy through an original that fits perfectly with the traditional romp – based on a rare 1934 Soviet recording – that follows. The clarinetist dryly describes the slow, gorgeous original waltz after that as being in the tradition of music designed for listening at weddings…or on the subway.
There's also a wry, hair-raising tale employing lyrics from a 1922 epic poem by Moyshe Kulbak, reinvented as a lively reel; a trio of circle dances rescued from the archives; a rivetingly Middle Eastern flavored mini-suite; a rare Belorussian version of an ancient Hasidic a-cappella nigun; a dirge, a drinking song and a rousing. surrealistic tribute to a pretty Jewish girl who also happens to be the best-loved bartender in town. The more things change, right? If you like minor keys, infectious dance grooves and eerie passing tones, you'll love this album. The cd also comes with extensive liner notes which provide all kinds of interesting historical background, very useful for western listeners and music bloggers too!
Litvakus Rescue Some of the Funnest Songs Ever Written
Onstage at the Center for Jewish Culture last week, Litvakus came across as a sort of acoustic Gogol Bordello, playing an exhilarating and frequently haunting mix of feral dances and haunting dirges. Frontman Dmitri Zisl Slepovitch bobbed and weaved and bounced as he played, firing off frenetic volleys or mournfully sustained notes on a series of clarinets, svirel – the Belorussian equivalent of a shawm – and dudka. As ambassador for the lost Jewish sounds of his native Belarus and also Polesia – the mysterious, rustic area bordering Belarus, Ukraine, Poland and what is now Lithuania – he held the crowd rapt. His mission to rescue decades-old and sometimes centuries-old songs led him to buck the authorities as he earned his doctorate in musicology in his hometown of Minsk, where he founded the city's first klezmer revival band, Minsker Kapelye. With a gleam in his eye, he related that the band's first gig, at a street fair, had been across the street from the local KGB headquarters. That group managed to get through the set without being hassled: New York is not the only city where that's likely to happen to musicians on the street.
Sam Weisenberg played marching-band style, his bass drum strapped around his shoulders, a cymbal on top. Bassist Taylor Bergren-Crisman bowed his lines much of the time, adding a dark undercurrent to the lushness of much of the music in tandem with violinist Craig Judelman and once-and-future Chicha Libre accordiionist Josh Camp. The songs bristled with stark minor keys, eerie chromatics and the occasional odd meters (5/4 seemed to be a favorite of this band). They opened with a bracing reel with a Celtic tinge to it and closed on an unexpectedly pensive note. A handful of the songs in their roughly hourlong set juxtaposed brightly dancing verses with more moody, intense choruses. Slepovitch sang a couple of numbers drawing on the lyrics of celebrated Belorussian poet Hersh Reles. There were plenty of solos from everybody, including a handful of slowly unwinding improvisations to begin a small handful of songs and plenty of clapalongs from the audience, a mix of emigres and an energized younger crowd.
And much as the songs had a distinctly Jewish character, Slepovitch was quick to acknowledge how much cross-pollination there's been over the decades in ethnic music from his part of the world – and how Jews were so often the catalyst. And he introduced a little controversy via a jaunty, pulsing Belorussian folk song, Khayka-Zhydouka, whose title translates in Russian as a slur against Jewish women. In an interesting Q&A after the show with the CTMD's Pete Rushefsky, Slepovitch revealed that in Belorussian, the word simply means "Jewish girl," (or in the context of the song, "hot Jewish girl"). And he reminded that throughout the Soviet Union, Belorussian was repressed just as cruelly as Yiddish and other ethnic languages. People were literally killed for speaking them. No wonder so many of the evening's songs were left on wax cylinders in archives, waiting for guys like Slepovitch to discover them. Litvakus are at Barbes tomorrow night, Nov 4 at around 7 if you'd like to hear the acoustic Gogol Bordello in a small club; the larger, horn-driven but similarly fun Slavic Soul Party play afterward at 9.
Litvakus Turns a Sedate Museum Space Into a Party
Litvakus plays deliriously fun minor-key party music. To cultures east of the Danube, minor keys don't necessarily imply sadness: instead, they're just as likely to equate to excitement (which, admitttedly, could cut either way: Look out, Moishe, cossacks coming over the bridge!). Did the rain and the gloom keep the five-piece band's fans away from their Friday evening concert at the American Folk Art Museum? Nope. The place was packed, and the crowd clapped and sang along. With clarinet, violin, accordion, bass and standup drum, the group romped and ripped through a spine-tingling mix of old Jewish folk songs from Belarus and the Ukraine as well as a bunch of edgy originals in the same vein. Frontman/clarinetist Dmitri Slepovitch explained that he'd written the night's first song, a swirling, rapidfire waltz, on the Q train. He reached for an explanation and couldn't find one: "That's what musicians do," he grinned, sheepish but succinct.
Drummer Sam Weisenberg kept a muted thud that was perfect for the room underneath bassist Taylor Bergren-Crisman's catchy, melodic, rock-flavored lines, which he played with a bow for extra resonance. Slepovitch's slow, panoramic clarinet solo made an elegant handoff to Craig Judelman's violin over accordionist Josh Camp's rich chordal washes on the second song of the night; it was cool to see him playing a real accordion after having seen him countless times with an electrified one in Chicha Libre. Slepovitch was a ball of energy, bouncing and swaying and inspiring spontaneous clapalongs with his slashing, pointillistic, melismatic runs. And without using a mic, he sang several numbers in a strong baritone that resonated throughout the boomy space: a bittersweet Yiddish theatre tune from the late 30s looking back on the author's Belarus hometown; a rousing violin-driven anthem; a jaunty, accordion-fueled dance whose gist was "party at the rabbi's place," and a bleakly amusing one about a girl coming up with one excuse after another for why she won't go out with a guy.
A couple of instrumentals were horas: slow, dirgey intros followed by explosive dances, dynamics rising and falling as the band sped up and then backed off, only to pick up the pace again and rip through the final choruses. A couple of others had a more Bulgarian feel, galloping through simple, hypnotic, bucolic barn-dance vamps. But as much as the songs had a centuries-old feel, they also had jazzy interplay and a sense of surprise, with trick endings, suspenseful interludes and abrupt changes that deviated from the standard verse/chorus format. Although the crowd responded boisterously, it was weird to see people sitting still and watching them, rather than dancing (although the kids were). Litvakus are at the Jalopy on Dec 18 at 10:30 as part of Feral Foster's Roots & Ruckus night.

Home Diseases and Conditions Kidney Disease Doctors recycle diseased kidneys for dialysis patients to overcome donor shortage
Doctors recycle diseased kidneys for dialysis patients to overcome donor shortage
Stephen Weller: "I don't mind being a guinea pig." Photo: Max Mason-Hubers
Doctors at a NSW hospital are recycling the diseased kidneys of cancer patients and transplanting them into dialysis patients in a controversial trial that reveals the extent of the organ donation shortage in Australia.
John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle has been quietly practising the risky procedure since 2008, excising the tumours from kidneys that would otherwise have beeMedia Pulsen incinerated, and repurposing the organs for patients suffering renal failure.
We would rather not have to do it but the donor rates in Australia are so appalling.
Philip Sprott, urologist
Each of the 26 kidneys involved in the trial started working immediately after they were transplanted, but in one patient the cancer returned to the kidney and the organ had to be removed.
The patient survived and went back onto dialysis.
Urologist Philip Sprott admitted the procedure was controversial among his peers because of the chance of transplanting the cancer with the organ, but he said the risk of the patient becoming morbidly sick or dying while on dialysis was higher than the cancer returning to the kidney.
It was only available to high-risk patients over the age of 60, who might otherwise wait for years or die waiting.
"It flies in the face of convention because if you're looking at a population almost the first exclusion criteria to be an organ donor is to have a history of cancer," Dr Sprott said.
"We understand that it's risky and we would rather not have to do it, but the donor rates in Australia are so appalling. People will die on dialysis if I'm not doing it."
There are about 1700 people on the national organ waiting list and an average waiting time of four years for a kidney.
The procedure is also offered at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane and Royal Perth Hospital, but urologists at John Hunter Hospital are pushing the boundaries by using kidneys with larger tumours.
Stephen Weller, 66, did not hesitate when offered a cancer patient's kidney.
"I said, 'Yep, I'll take it, I don't mind being a guinea pig'," said Mr Weller, who will march in the annual Glow Walk on Nobbys Breakwall to raise money for transplant research on September 19.
"It was a very good result and I'm very happy with it – scrape off the bad kidney, put it in somebody else and away you go."
The incidence of kidney cancer is rising in Australia, and because it is resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy the kidney often needs to be removed.
Patients are given the option of having their kidney returned to them after the tumours have been cut off, but the risks of the operation are considered to be higher than the benefit.
Prince of Wales nephrology director Zoltan Endre said the shortage of available kidneys had forced his unit to extend its criteria for organ donors to those with a history of diabetes, smoking or high blood pressure, if the recipient had a similar profile.
"We would not normally get kidneys from donors who had evidence of cancer," Professor Endre said.
"There's always a shortfall in donors for people coming onto the dialysis program and, so around the world, we're all looking at ways of making more kidneys useful and usefully available."

Algae are involved in water pollution in a number of important ways. It requires a continuous monitoring and study of algae existing in waters of various quality in order to determine what controls or what changes or what uses can be instituted for the benefit of man and for conservation of water and of desirable aquatic life. This manual presents a simplified identification key limited to algal species of importance in water supplies and associated with pollution. The most important species are illustrated in three-dimensional drawings in color. The manual also deals with the ecology and significance of algae and presents information on filter clogging and mat forming algae, attached forms, algicides and algal control, algae associated with pollution (both fresh water and estuarine), various uses of algae, algae of rivers and lakes, eutrophication, algae as indicators of pollution, methods of recording algae, and the use of algae in waste stabilization lagoons for the treatment of domestic and/or industrial wastes.

I just recieved the custom stickers a complete let down. There not big enough to go on a dirtbike 3″ tall at best. On the pics they look fine but mine came in the wrong color aswell.
This is a decent deal for what it is. Shipping was slow but the number fit perfectly on my Yamaha. Front and side plates get numbers. I don't need anything too fancy. The ONLY reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 is because the stickers don't stick super great.
I am going to order more of these for my other bikes.

Is It Time To Hire A Mixing Engineer? - Jesco Lohan - Mixing Engineer
Is It Time To Hire A Mixing Engineer?
Every creation of a piece of music eventually reaches a stage where the focus needs to transition from song writing/production to down mixing.
Every jingle, rock ballad, film score, sing-a-long, pop song and club banger comes to a point where bringing everything together, ensuring competitiveness and translation, and simply put, maximising the emotional impact of the song, gets the highest priority. With the availability of high quality mixdowns to just about everyone, there should no longer be any more excuses for releasing something not quite hitting that standard. If you are serious about your work, people will expect it to be mixed down properly.
At that point, there are really only two options. Either you mix it down yourself, or you pass it on to a professional mix engineer. Of course, giving away a track to be mixed by someone else is no easy decision. Perhaps you have been slaving away over this piece of music for a long time. It's your baby. When listening to it, a world of emotional potential unfolds in your head. How could this other person possibly grasp the complexity of what you are trying to achieve and make it happen?
Let me tell you, those are all valid thoughts. And in fact, the main priority for a good mix engineer is to understand this relationship between an artist and their creation, to nurture it and bring it to fruition. They let the emotions in the music speak for themselves and let them dictate the decision making. It is through this that a good mix engineer will have the skills to take that creation much further than the artist ever imagined.
A healthy relationship between an artist and a mix engineer is one of trust. The artist knows what the mix engineer is capable of and that they always have their back. The artist knows that the mix engineer's ego is applied in the right way, being honest about making decisions and giving feedback, and being 100% dedicated to fulfilling the tracks potential. The mix engineer on the other hand knows that they have this trust, giving them the room to try ideas and realise the vision for the song the best way they can.
So when should you seek such a relationship?
The most obvious reason is that you can't get the mix right yourself. This may be because your skills aren't up to scratch, because you lack the time, or perhaps because you are so intimately involved with the music through the production process that you have lost the objectivity to make the necessary decisions at mixdown.
Similarly you may feel that bringing a second pair of ears to the process would benefit the end result, even though you are perfectly capable of making a solid mix.
Some people also just can't warm to the process making every mixdown feel like an uphill battle.
What ever the reason may be, in my opinion, hiring a mix engineer will always lead to more creativity, more fun in the process, higher confidence, and in the end, better music. I think it is well worth the investment, and I hope by now, you do too.

The importance of a large vocabulary in your target language can't be overstated. Some are convinced we can converse quite comfortably with just a few hundred words. There are lots of articles on the topic. I don't agree. You can communicate with a few words, but you can't say much and you understand even less, and that means a very limited form of communication.
My views have been formed through my own experience of learning 15 languages. I constantly find my lack of words to be the greatest obstacle to enjoying the language more. Why? Because the words I am missing prevent me from understanding things that I hear, read and want to understand. With enough vocabulary and comprehension comes confidence; the confidence that I can defend myself in the language. With this confidence to sustain me, the speaking part develops naturally as I have more and more opportunity to speak.
I get apoplectic when people say that we should de-emphasize memory in education. Language learning is exhibit A in the case for the continuing importance of memory. Fortunately, memorization of vocabulary is made much easier by the availability of tools like Anki and Memrise.

I had never heard of the brain bike (and I am supposed to keep track of these things). While I don't know if it really helps your brain, it does look like it would be an interesting challenge.
YOU CANNOT RIDE THIS BIKE. Seriously, you're purchasing an unridable bicycle (at least initially). Part of the fun is figuring out how long it will take you to learn how to ride it. When I only did it for 5 minutes a day it took 8 months. I've seen people do nothing but the bike be able to ride it in an hour or so. There seems to be some sort of correlation with sticking with it and "powering through" the hard part. If you decide to give it a shot, I would LOVE to know your age and how long it took you so I can add your data to the mix. Smarter Every Day LLC and Barney are not responsible for any injuries sustained from trying to ride this bike. If you DO decide to attempt it at your own risk, wear a helmet.
A fascinating Lexicon Valley podcast where linguist John McWhorter interviews Ann Patty about her efforts to learn Latin. Patty documents her learning project in her book Living with a Dead Language: My Romance with Latin.
As I have said many times, learning a language is an ideal exercise for your brain. Don't waste you time with expensive and, probably, ineffective brain training software. Learn a language instead.
Definitely look at Figure 1 in the pdf.
"I'm conducting an experiment to see if I can learn a language (Spanish) by memorizing a phrasebook.
I'm doing this because I think it is possible for almost anyone to learn a second language and I am looking for the easiest, cheapest, least time-consuming way to do so.
Language learning via immersion (i.e. moving to a society where the language is spoken and forcing yourself to learn it) certainly works, but it is expensive, time-consuming and not really viable for me.
And besides, in my opinion, language learning is not particularly fun. The fun part comes after you've reached a certain proficiency and can actually use it.
I am now in the market for a Japanese phrasebook with mp3 files. Any suggestions?

Tablet-First. Is it a thing? (TUPdate)
Tablet-First. Is it a thing? – a TUPdate by Dan Ness, February 17, 2017
Which comes first – Smartphone? Tablet? Notebook? For a small and steadily growing segment, the tablet comes first as the primary connected device.
Over the last three years, the share of connected adults using a tablet as their primary device has expanded. In our 2014 wave of TUP, we found that 6% of adults were using a tablet as their primary device – before a PC, mobile phone, or game console. In TUP 2015, the Tablet-First rate had grown to 7% and by TUP 2016, reached 9%.
It's not as if these Tablet-First users are only using a tablet. Among Tablet-First users, half (50%) use a Smartphone as their secondary device, followed distantly by a Tower Desktop (15%), Basic cell phone (10%), and Notebook PC (9%). Continue reading "Tablet-First. Is it a thing? (TUPdate)"
Are most hearables being used by young males? (MetaFAQs)
Wireless headsets have been available for more than a decade, and are strongest among two age and gender groups. These hearables-active groups are also have above-average shares of VR Headset early adopters.
The strongest segments for active hearables use include younger males – age 18-44 and youngish females – age 25-34. Penetration is above one in four among males 25-34 (27%) and among males age 35-44 (26%). Among females, hearables usage peaks among females age 25-34, at 15%.
Looking ahead, we expect these same age & gender groups to continue as the strongest users of hearables, and don't expect other segments to be as keen on hearables.

Is there an age skew for using VR Headsets? (MetaFAQs)
Is there an age skew for using VR Headsets?
Virtual reality hasn't reached market reality, despite decades of experimentation and overhyped false starts. Recent investment has brought renewed attention, hope, and development to the prospects of widespread VR use. Based on our TUP 2016 US survey, only 2% of connected adults are actively using a VR headset, such as the Oculus Rift or Samsung Gear VR. This modest acceptance rate is only part of the research finding, though, as there is more that can be learned from the early adopters.

What is the demographic profile of Game PC Users? (MetaFAQs)
Game Desktops and Game Notebooks are coming into their own, reaching beyond the niche enthusiast.
However, they're missing a key active game-playing segment – females. As we've reported in an earlier MetaFAQ, there is near gender equality for game players using Smartphones, Tablets, Game Consoles and everyday PCs.
Young males, age 25-34, are the major users for gaming desktops and gaming notebooks, using them at twice and three times the rate of the average connected adult.
Although targeting gaming enthusiasts is a successful strategy, only focusing on the formerly-strongest users misses out on a large segment of active players that could use some extra attention.
This may present a challenge to the makers of gaming PCs such as ASUS, Acer, Dell/Alienware, or HP, as they will need to make some adjustments to their marketing.
Female game players that are already active across many platforms are also big tech spenders.
Game PC companies that miss out on serving this segment might find their game over.
This MetaFAQs research result addresses one of the many questions profiling active game-players.
Many other related answers are part of the full TUP service, available to paid subscribers. The TUP chapter with the most information about game players across all devices and platforms is the TUP 2016 Game Consoles, Gaming PCs and Game-Playing Chapter.

Girls are gamers, too, although not everywhere (MetaFAQs)
There's a rampant rumor that girls aren't gamers. This has not been true for many years, and yet the idea seems to persist.
One reason is partly related to another stereotype which has some truth in this case: "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys".
By far, males are the major users for gaming desktops and gaming notebooks, using them at twice and three times the rate of females. These tricked-out, souped-up, and (sometimes) overclocked PCs are created to offer superior gaming experiences. Some are also designed to allow game enthusiasts to get under the hood and further extend the capabilities.
Females outnumber males for regular game-playing on Smartphones and Tablets, and by a wide margin. Sixty-one percent of active Smartphone gamers are female and 59% of Tablet PC gamers. This is based on our most recent research among 7,336 US adults as part of the Technology User Profile (TUP) 2016 survey.
Gaming PC makers HP, ASUS, Acer and Dell/Alienware have a challenge ahead to win over the hearts and minds of female gamers. These are an important segment to attract, too. Not only are they active game players across many platforms, they also spend substantially on tech products and services of all kinds.


I am so excited for all of my 2019 couples including Steve + Leah! Steve is a killer drummer in a band called Babayaga and we have known each other through music for many years. I always feel incredibly lucky to be able to capture these amazing moments for my friends!
Steve and Leah love to share in their interest of craft beer. We were able to do a portion of their engagement session at The Lost Borough, their favorite brewery! They also love the snow (like me!) so we started the session outside at Ellison Park.
Here are a few of my favorite images from their engagement session, we had such an awesome day and so much fun!

In subsequent cycles, the conditions for the decomposition of KClO3and a sudden release of oxygen into the cavity filled with hydrogen. This forms a mixture that explodes. In the experiments, it was noted case of explosion, accompanied by destruction of the capsules and discharge salt into the room.
The authors of the present invention consider the use of potentially dangerous drives heat on a mixture of salts of sodium, potassium and magnesium invalid and put forward a proposal to create a safe drives heat on phase transitions segregates by introducing into the heater mixture of salts of sodium and calcium and the safety valve.
The technical result is ensured by the fact that in an electric heater, comprising a housing inside which is located the capsule, at least 95% of the inner volume of which is filled with a eutectic mixture of chloride salts of sodium and calcium at the operating temperature 500oC.
In the center of the capsule or around it installed tubular electric heating elements.
Co-axial location along the axis of the capsule of the tubular element (ten) provides almost complete (except for end of input Coils) surrounded by a heat storage medium of the heat source. All the heat generated by the heating coil, is passed to the heat storage medium through the pipe wall. In addition, to provide more effective heat thermal storage environment temperature of the Heater can be increased without fear of additional heat loss to the environment. The heater is placed in a stainless steel pipe to improve the reliability of its work, taking into account the increased temperature compared to the melting point of the heat storage substance. The heater of the heating coil is not electrically contact with the heat storage substance, removing the requirement of its elektroprovodnosti. Heater does not corrode in Croswell to accelerate the heating of the room when turned on cold heater and adjust the heat flow from the storage tank into the environment. The serial off the heater reduces the flow of heat. Inside the capsule from melting core set of edges of the heat-conductive material, e.g. steel, which reduces the temperature difference in the cross section of the capsule and the temperature of the heater. The heat storage substance is an electric mixture of chloride salts of sodium and potassium, 33 NaCl, 67 CaCl2; melting point of the mixture of salts is equal to TPL500oC.
Filling the internal cavity of the capsules at a value not greater than 95% of the volume at maximum operating temperature, for example, 550oC caused by the need to maintain gas in the cavity to the low pressure when the volume of thermal storage substance in the phase transition and subsequent heating. The safety valve is designed to limit excessive pressure in the gas cavity capsules safe amount equal to 1oC 2 ATM.

Adena-Hopewell Cosmology, Community, and Identity at the Robbins Mound
The first people to construct widespread burial mounds and earthworks in the Ohio Valley were participants in the Adena Culture, which began around 500 BC and continued until about 300 AD. Sometime around 50 BC, some Adena communities in southern Ohio—under strong influences coming from the lower Illinois Valley—evolved the more exotic and elaborate Ohio Hopewell Culture, which persisted until 400—500 AD. Thus, in the Ohio Valley, there were two contemporaneous mound building cultures for several centuries: Adena and Ohio Hopewell.

Although there were variations and differences of material culture and burial practices, Adena and Hopewell expressed the same cosmological scheme, valued the same exotic power materials, and gathered to build large mounds and earthworks according to similar patterns of dispersion and coalescence. Also, it is now recognized that Adena and Hopewell groups even engaged in the co-operative construction of large scale ritual landscapes which not only shared common patterns of astronomical alignments, but also employed the same measurement unit. For these reasons and others, some archaeologists have come to simply refer to both cultures as Adena-Hopewell.

Cosmology and Social Structure
Archaeologists have established that the cosmology expressed in Adena-Hopewell earthworks and artifacts correspond to that of the tribes who inhabited the Eastern Woodlands at the time of historic European contact. In this cosmological scheme, the cosmos is divided into three interconnected worlds: the Above World occupying the sky and heavens, the Earth World, and a watery Underworld beneath the Earth World. The Above World is the realm of the stars, the sun and moon, and the mythic Thunderbirds. It is also the location of the Milky Way galaxy, considered by many Native American tribes to be a 'Path' or cosmic 'River' which the souls of the departed must navigate to reach the entrance to the Land of the Dead. The Earth World is basically the sensible terrestrial world of living humans, plants, and animals, and is envisioned as a flat disk or island floating on a surrounding primordial sea.

Great! Thanks for visiting the blog. Do you have any memories you'd like to share?
I confess! I was that girl who knocked on Mr Lee's door all those years ago. "You don't need A levels to be a writer," said he as I spoke about the exams I had just taken. Nor did I, as it turns out but it was a long road to publication.
The day I met him was a hot, dry general election afternoon and so after kindly making me and my companion a mug of tea we trudged together up the path to the road. "I must go and vote," he said. "And then I shall lie in the long grass and look at the sky."
Thank you, Cindy, for giving me another glimpse of our local legendary hero! That's a wonderful quote about lying in the long grass. Laurie Lee is high up on my list of 'people I wish I'd met while they were alive'.


Summer signing Nick Evans could be in line for a return when Harlequins host London Irish in the EDF Energy Cup on Saturday.
The New Zealand international has been out of action since injuring his knee ligaments on the opening day of the season.
But England wing David Strettle will be missing after consultants decided an operation was necessary to resolve a broken metatarsal in his left foot.
Quins boss Dean Richards said: "The surgeon says it needs to be done.
"Although David is disappointed, he is already setting targets for coming back, even though he doesn't know the outcome of the surgery yet.
" Nick Evans could be back playing again this week, but we've got a host of quality players, and we have exciting youngsters coming through too."
Quins need a bonus try win against Irish if they are to have any chance of making the quarter-finals, following their one-point defeat to the Ospreys three weeks ago.
After another EDF Cup game against Worcester next week, Quins then return to Premiership action for three weeks before turning their attention once again to the Heineken Cup in December.
And they go into their doubleheader with Stade Francias in a strong position for their first quarter-final in 11 years with two wins from two, including last weekend's 42-21 victory over Ulster.
Richards said: "I said last year was too soon for us to be competitive in it. But this year we are competitive and we are putting it in.
"Everyone knows what Stade Francais can offer. They are a quality side and have to be one of the favourites for the Heineken Cup.
"Going over there, we will certainly be the underdogs, and we will need to play for 80 minutes rather than 55 like against Ulster, and 40 the two weeks before.
"But we will go over there in with a shout, and it will give us a great understanding of where we are in European rugby."
Quins recovered from falling behind to an early Ulster try with a Chris Malone penalty, then tries from Jordan Turner-Hall, Tom Williams and Danny Care.
After Williams' second try on the hour, Richards could afford the luxury of keeping the sin-binned Care off and giving some game time to Andy Gomarsall.
He added: "Gommers is still one of the best scrum halves in England, and having had a look at a lot of the other scrum halves, I think he's probably second choice behind Danny Care.
"He knows how to play the game and his skill levels are right up there, and it wouldn't surprise me if England have him in as well."
