When the Steel Went Through (New Book)
ELECTRIC SCOTLAND
Stephen sent me in a wee message and asked if I could pass it on to you all... they have now received over 1800 completed survey forms and while we are not responsible for them all we have certainly provided a most significant number of them and hence Stephen's message to us as follows...
I would like to thank Alastair and all Electric Scotland readers for the overwhelming response to www.homecomingsurvey.com. We're working on the results, reading every response and this will be fed directly back to the Homecoming Scotland team. If you have offered to help or given us contact details, my company should be in contact soon.
Before launching this survey, I wasn't too sure what reaction we were going to get but I've been humbled by the magnificent response of Scotland's friends around the world. You might be a diverse group but your passion for Scotland is a common theme wherever you are, whatever you do and whatever your relation to Scotland.
The survey is still live and so I can't go into too many details but here are a few highlights so far:
· 'Scenery' and 'Roots' are the most likely terms to be used if you were recommending Scotland to a friend.
· Most respondents weren't born in Scotland but an overwhelming majority have family ties to Scotland sometime in the past.
· Most responses came from the US, followed by Canada and Australia.
· and when you get here, meeting Scottish people and exploring your roots are the main things you feel you must do.
This might not be a surprise to some of you but we're getting a lot of really rich data that will enable us to really start to know what you're thinking.
Again, a big thanks to you and see you all in 2009!
Yours aye
Stephen Budd

PS Should you still not have completed the survey you can still do so at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=378293483365
This week I've started on a new book "When the Steel went through" which is a first hand account of a Scot who was involved in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. I hope you'll enjoy this one and more about it below.
Next week will see me starting the 6 volume "History of Scotland" which was published in 1828. I am doing this as a series of .pdf files so you'll need the acrobat reader to view it but guess pretty well all of us have this. Should you not have it you can download the free reader at http://www.adobe.com
I scanned in the first two chapters directly to adobe but found the quality wasn't as I'd hoped so from the third chapter onwards I've just scanned in the pages and then imported them to adobe and the quality was much better. I'll give you a fuller review of this publication next week when I've started to post it up to the site.
I am also making headway with another two books... "Romance of War" or "The Highlanders in Spain" which is actually a novel but based on facts. The author was involved in the fighting in Spain and France and so he is well aware of all that happened with the Highlanders in Spain and around this he has woven his novel. So why am I publishing this book? Well having read it I felt it brought out a lot of facts about the time the Highlanders were in Spain and in some ways gives quite an interesting account of those times. So.. a departure from the normal type of book I've added in the past but hopefully you'll enjoy the read.
The other book I have started to work on is the biography of Norman MacLeod a well know and respected divine and again I hope you'll enjoy this one. It was written by his brother who had access to lots of letters and so gives a wonderful insight into the man and the times.
And so I'll be working on these three publications between continued work on the History of the Southern States of America and also the other volumes of the Scotch-Irish Society and of this last I now have volumes 2 - 8 :-)
I will be back in Toronto for the Tartan Day Dinner at Casa Loma on Wednesday 18th April and would certainly be happy to meet any of you that can make it. And if you do please make yourself known to me. The price of a ticket is CAN$150.00 which gets you a free bar, great entertainment, singers, pipe band, and Sandy MacIntyre and his band from Nova Scotia. You also get a great dinner which if it's anything like last year will include wee samplings of haggis, clooty dumpling and lots of our favourite Scottish cakes. Not sure what the main course is yet but it's always good whatever it is and it all comes with free wine :-)
And so you get a lot for your money plus great raffle prizes including free flights to Scotland!!! You'll also get to meet that smashing lady, Jean Watson, the mother of Tartan Day when she receives her "Scot of the Year" award. The proceeds from the event go to fund that permanent chair of Scottish Studies at the University of Guelph where the Foundation pledged $1 million and I believe we're down to the last $150,000.
You can book your tickets online at http://www.scottishstudies.com/950tartanday07.htm where you can get further information as well as phone numbers if you want to book your ticket by phone.

I've also been asked if I can tell folk about Tartan Day activity in Toronto and so here are the details...
CONCERT SHOWCASE INTERNATIONAL and URBAN ANGEL are pleased to announce the
FIRST ANNUAL TARTAN DAY T.O. in celebration of Scottish-Canadian Heritage.
April 6th 1320 celebrated the signing of the Declaration of Abroath - and Toronto is recognizing this date by acknowledging April 13th 2007 (April 6 falls on a Good Friday this year) with a Free Outdoor Concert with special guests:
- Scotland's Tenors Caledon, thanks to the generosity of ZOOM Airlines
- Canada's own Peter Ian McCutcheon
- The Royal Scottish Country Dance Association
- The 48th Highlanders of Canada Pipes and Drums
The event will be hosted by Edward Patrick, President and Founder of Companions of the Quaich.
The Scottish Studies Foundation, an organization that has a mandate of raising awareness of the Scottish Heritage throughout Canada, is involved in supporting this event and has plans to work with the organizers to make this a yearly event.
TARTAN DAY T.O. will be held at Nathan Phillips Square and will run from Noon - 2 pm.
Mayor David Miller is declaring a Proclamation that April 13th, 2007 is officially Tartan Day throughout the City of Toronto for 2007.
Tartan Day T.O. will feature Scottish Country Dancers, Pipers and giveaways from the Scottish Executive in the form of balloons, pins and flags and brochures from http://www.scotlandistheplace.com to raise awareness of tourism for those interested in traveling to Scotland. (see http://www.tartanday.ca)
The following evening, Saturday, April 14th, a fundraising Concert - The "Kirkin of the Tartan" will be held at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church on King Street West in downtown Toronto to help raise monetary assistance for the 48th Highlanders Museum located in the basement of the Church. (see http://www.concertshowcaseinternational.com)
The Scottish Studies Society holds a yearly Dinner at Casa Loma in celebration of Tartan Day and every year the Society names The Scot of the Year during this prestigious Gala on Wednesday, April 18th, 2007. This year the Award will go to Jean Watson from Nova Scotia who through her unrelenting efforts succeeded in establishing the concept of Tartan Day which is now celebrated all over the world. (see http://www.scottishstudies.com for further details)

There will be many other Tartan Day celebrations during April so do check out your local newspapers to see if your town or city are holding an event. You can also wear a tartan tie or scarf or even just a swatch of tartan during the celebrations showing your support for Scotland, Scots and Scots descendants :-)
Mind that The Flag is now in two sections (1) Political and (2) Cultural.
It's Richard Thomson's turn this week and he's coverinng the prospects for the SNP winning the Scottish Elections in May. He show "The Times" headlines.... "Labour faces meltdown as SNP heads for power".
Peter in his Cultural section is reminding us about all the Tartan Day celebrations around the world...
Today (Friday 6 April 2007) there will be Saltires flying and commemoration events throughout Scotland to mark The Declaration of Scottish Independence made on 6 April 1320 at Arbroath Abbey in the presence of Robert I, King of Scots. In the past that was not the case but fortunately over the past few years an increasing number of events have been made to mark Freedom Day. One body which deserves great praise in keeping the Arbroath message alive has been the Arbroath Abbey Pageant Society. The Society founded in 1947 has staged a full pageant re-enactment every few years in August with a tribute on the anniversary of the 1320 letter to the Pope asking him to recognise Scottish Freedom each April. The next full Arbroath Pageant will be staged in August 2009 but you can catch their annual tribute today at 1pm at Arbroath Abbey. The message to celebrate this important date is growing and if you visit http://www.ScotlandsTartanDay.com you will find a variety of events.
Much of this revival of interest is due to the decision of our cousins in America and Canada to centre Tartan Day on 6 April 1320 and the Declaration of Scottish Independence and the eternal verities which it contains, both in terms of nationhood and fledgling democracy. Indeed the Letter from Arbroath was an inspiration to the Americans in drawing up their own Declaration of Independence. The decision to hold Tartan Day has given thousands out-with Scotland the opportunity to remember their Scottish roots and to revel in the internationalist outlook of the Scots. Tartan Day events are already being held in America. Last Friday the Scottish Parliament's outgoing Presiding Officer George Reid opened the Tartan Village in New York which will be visited by thousands. He has a full programme of events to attend over the next fortnight and will conclude by taking the position of Grand Marshal as thousands of pipers and drummers make their way down New York's 6th Avenue on Saturday 14 April 2007. He is well worthy of the position of Grand Marshall for George Reid as Scotland's Presiding Officer has brought a quiet dignity to the role and done much to enhance the national and international standing of the fledgling Scottish Parliament over his four year tenure. He told his American audience –
"Our programme of activities has a strong cultural theme this year. Scots have played an influential role in the development of society in North America – something the Scots in Quebec exhibition currently at Holyrood illustrates all too well.
The role of Grand Marshal for the parade is one I am pleased to accept. To experience the streets of New York lined with people from across North America who are so proud of their Scottish heritage will no doubt once again be an emotional experience."

My thanks to Lora for transcribing these volumes for us. She has now got her cast off at long last and she's now doing some typing but tells me she's making lots of mistakes so it might be a wee while until she is back up to speed. Always nice to see some steady progress :-)
Now moved onto the G's and added this week are Galloway, Galt and Garden
Here is how the Galloway entry starts...
GALLOWAY, a surname derived from a district in the south-west of Scotland, which took its name from the Gael, Galli, or Irish settlers, in the eighth and two following centuries, and which acquired the name of Gallwalia, Gallawidia, Gallowagia, Gallwadia, Gallweia, Gallway, Galloway. The name may be merely Galliway or Gaelway, the bay of the Gael or Irish. "A Gaelic etymologist," says Chalmers, "would probably derive the etymon of Galloway from Gallbagh, which the English would pronounce Gallwa or Gallway, the estuary or bay of the strangers or foreigners. It seems more than probably that this difficult name was originally imposed by the Irish settlers, and afterwards Saxonised, from the coincidence of the name. The legends of the country, however, attribute the origin of the name to King Galdus, who fought and fell on the bay of Wigton. This is the fabulous Galdus who is said by Boece and Buchanan to have opposed the Romans, though conducted by Agricola. We may herein see a slight trait of history, by connecting the fictitious Galdus with the real Galgac, who fought Agricola at the foot of the Grampians." [Chalmers' Caledonia, vol. i. p. 359.]
Of this surname was a distinguished officer of the Indian army, General Sir Archibald Galloway, K.C.B., who served the East India Company for thirty-five years, and during that long period, besides actions in the field, was present at six sieges and seven storms, in four of which he was closely engaged. He was the son of Mr. James Galloway of Perth, and in 1799 he was appointed, as a cadet, to the 58th native infantry, of which he became the colonel in 1836. He was present at the siege of Delhi, and was one of the handful of men to whom the Company owed the remarkable defence of that city, when besieged by an army of 70,000 men, with 130 pieces of cannon. He was also at the siege of Bhurtpore, under lord Lake, and commanded the corps of sappers, the most distinguished in the army for the hard and hazardous service it had to perform. On two most sanguinary assaults he led this corps at the head of the forlorn hope, and in the latter was desperately wounded. Lord William Bentinck, when governor-general, nominated him to be one of the members of the Military Board under its new constitution, and on his departure from India, he received an expression of the high approbation of the governor-general in council. His services were honoured with public approbation by commanders-in-chief in India, on nine different occasions, and by the supreme government of India, or the Court of Directors and superior authorities in England, on upwards of thirty occasions, the former twenty-one, and the latter eleven times. He was the author of a Commentary on the Moohummuddan Law, and another on the Law, Constitution, and Government of India. His work on Sieges in India, at the recommendation of General Mudge of the royal engineers, was reprinted by the Court of Directors, and used at their military college. It was likewise, by the orders of the marquis of Hastings when governor-general, distributed to the army for general instruction. He wrote also other military treatises. In 1838 he was nominated a Companion of the Bath, and in 1848 a Knight Commander. In 1846 he was elected a director of the East India Company, and in 1849 he officiated as chairman, which office he held at the time of his death, which took place at London on 6th April 1850, aged 70.

The History of Arkansas - Chapter I
Arkansas from 1539 - 1836
Here is how The History of Arkansas starts...
Early Discoveries — De Soto.
THE discovery of the new world opened up a wide field for adventure. To the old world America was a fairy land of fabulous wealth. The souls of men were fired by stories of it, and men of broken fortunes or of lost reputation came flocking to America. While most of these fortune-seekers failed to accomplish their immediate purpose, they nevertheless did a far better thing — explored the new world and made known its untold resources.
The first white man to touch what is now Arkansas was one of these adventurous fortune-seekers — Hernando De Soto. With a band of 600 followers he landed in 1539 in Florida. He spent two years wandering over the Gulf region east of the Mississippi. In May, 1541, he discovered the Mississippi, called Meschacebe by the Indians, Rio Grande by De Soto. With hastily constructed barges he crossed probably near Helena. The next year, the last year of his eventful life, the great captain spent in traveling over what is now Arkansas. He went up the west bank of the river to northeast Arkansas, passing on the way several Indian villages. Leaving the St. Francis country De Soto journeyed southwest and stopped near Little Rock. Here the natives told him of mountains to the northwest; hither he traveled until he reached some point in northwest Arkansas. Disappointed in not finding gold, he turned south, passed over the Boston mountains, crossed the Arkansas near Dardanelle Rock and came into the country of the Cayas, where they found "a lake of very hot water and somewhat brackish," which most students interpret as the now famous Hot Springs. [Gentleman of Elvas in Publications Arkansas Historical Association, I., 484.]
Somewhere on the Ouachita in South Arkansas he spent the winter, which proved to be a severe one. Here he suffered an almost irreparable loss in the death of his interpreter, Juan Ortiz, a Spaniard, who, with De Narvez, had come to Florida in 1528. On the wreck of the expedition he had joined a tribe of Indians and had learned to speak their tongue. In the spring of 1542 De Soto started south for the Gulf, but made poor progress, for the hardships of the long journey and the severity of the late winter had reduced his force to 300 men of war and forty horses, the latter having gone a year unshod. Exposure and hardship brought on malarial fever, from which De Soto died. As the end approached he commissioned Moscoso as his successor, who buried the great explorer in the river which he had discovered. A recent writer has located the death and burial of De Soto at Helena. [Publications Arkansas Historical Association, I.. 128.] The traditional view is that it occurred near the mouth of the Red River. [For original sources bearing on De Soto's travels, see the account by Biedma and A Oentleman of Elvas in French's Historical Collections of Louisiana, Vol. II., or for the account of that part of his journey through Arkansas, see Publications, Arkansas Historical Association, I., 466-499. Biedma and A Oentleman of Elvas appear to have accompanied the expedition.]

Appendix 1 - MacVarish family, etc.
Appendix 2 - The College Merger of the Maritimes
Appendix 3 - The New World: Lecture at Inverness in 1920 by J. L. MacDougall
Here is The Last Page to read here...
We have attempted in the foregoing pages to give some idea of our Inverness ancestry. Our task was forced upon us twenty years too late. The real inner story of our older people was buried with themselves, and as a general thing we have no marble, moat or manuscript, to help us tell it now.
In our search for necessary information through the county we missed many, oh so many, "good gray heads" whom we were wont to meet and enjoy in younger years. Never did we appreciate their worth so keenly as when we felt the need of their help and found "they were not there". The younger and smarter folk did not, we regret to say, evince any special interest in a history of their forefathers. We could only do our best in a position that was all but impossible: and, unlike the great William Pitt, we were not able to "trample on impossibilities." We do hope our readers will grant us some indulgence, knowing the dark and lonely road we had to travel.
Some may think that we were representing our ancestors as much too good. We honestly tried our best not to. We confess at once our tender personal feeling for the friends that are gone, and we have no apology to offer for any manifestation of that feeling that may appear in this work. These hardy early settlers can not be judged by the standards and conditions of our day. They lived in lowly circumstances and were in the main, quite illiterate; yet, they possessed and practised, and impressed upon their offspring, many of the finest qualities of humanity.
"Let not ambition mock their useful toil,
Their homely joys, or destiny obscure;
Nor grandeur hear, with a disdainful smile,
The short and simple annals of the poor."
It is not our purpose either to praise the dead or dispraise the living, but we feel justified in saying this:— to the extent that we, of today disregard, despise or repudiate, the christian qualities of our pioneer fathers, precisely to that extent we degenerate, physically, mentally and morally.
However, lest it be supposed that we are parading the best and concealing the worst of these old people let us make a brief reference to their more prominent faults and failings. And first of all their drinking habits.
All men know from experience that excess of anything is hurtful. Our early settlers drank to excess at times. The habit of drinking to excess is pernicious beyond expression, for it may involve much more, and much worse, than a mere breach of temperance. Some of our forefathers were in the habit of drinking to excess. Such a habit is not to be defended but we think our early settlers are entitled to an explanation concerning it.
That habit did not originate with our forefathers in this country. It came to them without much rebuke from deep down the centuries. All the aged civilized nations of the earth were soaked in it. There was no organized public opinion against it. There were no state laws forbidding it. In the olden times it was not considered degrading to indulge in alcoholic beverages. Men of all ranks did it. The King and his Jester got drunk together. In former centuries liquor was believed to be a necessary stimulant; it was good and cheap then, and as free and plentiful as air or water. Industrialism and commerce had not then reached the stage at which the unauthorized use of strong drink was a perilous source of inefficiency and loss.
We offer these comments as an explanation of this habit of the old people. The explanation is not open to us of today; nor is it an excuse for over-drinking at any time, in any place, under any circumstances.
Another habit of the olden times was to submit all the sharpest personal differences to the ruthless arbitrament of the naked fists.
Frankly that was a tribunal we could never respect: perhaps, because we feared it. We always regarded it as the essence and instinct of raw-boned savagery. But even as to that repugnant custom the men of old have a right to a hearing.
All those men came from lands of perpetual warfare, either international or internecine. Many immigrants came here smeared with the boiling blood of battle. Physical force was the determining test and logic of an old civilization. He who was too proud to fight was a poltroon: he who fought well was lionized. In the days of the pioneer settlers of Inverness there were no other tribunals to settle urgent issues. Physical force became an arbiter of honor, a racial distinction, and a necessary law of the wilderness. The habit is not now so general, but "it lingers superfluous on the stage." It is a vicious thorn of barbarism.
The habit of dancing and holding frequent frolics was another fault imputed to our ancestors. In connection therewith we think they are entitled to a special explanation. They were strangers in a strange land. They lived in the forest thousands of miles from the homes of their first impressions. Their labors were arduous and im perative. They had nothing to read, and even if they had libraries only few could use them. They had no clubs, societies, or moving pictures. It was essential that they should preserve their fitness for the task to which their hands were set. How could they preserve that fitness without those light amusements and recreations which their lot imposed and the Lord permitted?
Their "frolics" were informal social gatherings at which the chief functions were music, dancing and story-telling. Their songs and music were but the harmonies of a past history, as dear to them as life itself: their dancing was a beautiful work of art as compared with the spavined and repulsive performances of modern times: and their legends were the nepenthe of an old and turbulent national life. Were these simple recreations things of evil? Honi soit qui mal y pense.
We owe an immensity to our departed fathers. Common prudence as well as natural affection would bid us cherish their memory and good qualities for all time. One quality which our fathers showed notoriously was a wonderful resignation to adversities. We should make it a study to imitate this noble quality. Too often we develop a spirit of selfishness, unrest, impatience and discontentment, Cui bono? Other prominent qualities of our pioneers were their strong and simple faith, their invariable respect for their superiors and all constituted authority. And what of their eager and steadfast devotion to home and family? Verily, it were a wholesome and useful practice for us to recall frequently the lives and sacrifices of our worthy old men.
And now, after many days, we must take leave of our kind and patient readers, very likely for the last time. We have lived among them long: we shall wish them well for ever. Nothing would give us more joy in future than to know that they are prosperous and happy. At the same time, in this act of leave-taking, the last thing we should wish to do were to leave them under any delusion. This world is sternly exacting taskmaster. It abounds in pains and partings, sick-ness and sorrows, trials and disappointments. These probationary penalties can only be met and mastered by a supernatural fortitude of soul.
Wherefore, in this act of parting with our friends, our sentiments are well reflected in the following counsel of a standard, living, authority:—
"I would not bid you not to weep,
For tears of grief shall fill your eyes,
I would not bid you not to care
When you shall lose the thing you prize;
For hurt and pain are hard to bear,
And sorrow cuts into the soul;
But hold you fast, and serve the Truth,
And you shall come unto your goal.
There shall be days when hope is dim,
And days when joys seem far from you;
There shall be rugged hills to climb,
And dreary tasks for you to do:
It is no easy path you fare,
No light or simple game you're in;
Life shall beset and try your strength,
But meet its tests, — and you shall win!"

Added another issue of this newspaper...
May 28, 1891 at http://www.electricscotland.com/history/canada/scotscan/issue27.htm
The front page this week features Staffa.
I got in one copy of this newspaper which I confess to not knowing about. The issue is for January 4, 1900 but the paper started I think in 1828. Rather than post it up a series of graphics I've turned it into a .pdf file as I felt the larger print size made it suitable for ocr'ing. I showed the paper to Harold Nelson and he was struck with the great words that are used within the articles. Harold of course is an old time journalist who used to write for the Globe and Mail and was for some 30 odd years the news editor of CBC.

I may have mentioned that I also acquired 4 issues of the Scottish American Journal from 1867. As these are double tabloid size there was no way I could do anything with these with my more limited scanner and camera. I have in fact donated these to the MacLaughlin Library at the University of Guelph and in return they will scan these in for me. This will take some weeks as they are just going through a computer upgrade but when complete we'll get them scanned in for us... so something to look forward to :-)

Our thanks to Alan McKenzie for scanning this in for us.
Added this week...
The Objects and Method of a Sociological Study of the Celts which starts by saying...
WE have tried to set forth the main features of the history of the Celts. But another question arises regarding the Celtic peoples; we must inquire what were the bonds which held men together in social organization, how families and clans were constituted, how land was owned (in whole or in part, in precarious possession or in permanent, absolute ownership, in common or individually, in fairly distributed lots or in aristocratic tenures), what was their law, what were their gods, and their priests, how they traded, and travelled, and built. The structure of society; private law; public law and political institutions; religion; economic life; craftsmanship; morphology; art and literature - these are the headings for a description of Celtic society.

Peculiarities and Instinct of Different Animals.
Coursing Deer.
Tameness of Birds when Sitting.
Variety of Game.
Here is how the Peculiarities and Instinct of Different Animals chapter starts...
I cannot conclude these hasty sketches without remarking that few people are aware of the numberless subjects of interest and observation to be found in the habits and structure of the commonest birds and animals which pass before our eyes every day of our lives. How perfectly are all these adapted to their respective modes of living and feeding. In every garden and shrubbery the naturalist finds amusement in watching its living tenants. Look at the chaffinch, how it adapts the colour and even the shape of its nest to the spot in which it is placed covering the outside with materials of the same colour as the bark of the tree in which it is. So do also all the other small birds. Again, they line their nests with materials of the same colour as their eggs. The chaffinch lines it with wool and feathers mixed together, giving it a background of nearly the same hue as the shell of the eggs. The greenfinch lines it with light-coloured feathers, collected from the poultry-yard, as her eggs are nearly white. The yellowhammer has a greyish egg with stripy marks; she lines her nest with horsehair. The robin's eggs being of a reddish-brown, she makes use of dried grass and similar substances. The prevailing colour of the hedge-sparrow's nest is green, and her eggs are of a greenish-blue ; and in the same manner all our common and unregarded birds adapt both the outside and the lining of their nests to the colour of the surrounding substances and that of their own eggs respectively. In the same manner they all have bills adapted to the food on which they live — the grain-feeding birds having short, strong mandibles, while those of the insectivorous birds are longer and more slender, and as perfectly adapted for searching in crannies and corners for the insects and eggs that may be hidden there, as the former are for cutting and shelling the seeds and grain on which they feed.
Look, too, at the eggs of lapwings and of all those birds that hatch on the bare ground. Those that lay on fields have their eggs of a brownish green, while those that lay on the stones and pebbles have them of a sandy and brown mottled colour, so like the substances which surround them, that it is most difficult for the passer-by to distinguish the egg from the stone. In the same manner the young of all birds which live on the ground resemble the ground itself in colour, thereby eluding many of their enemies. Look also at the birds whose residence and food are placed in the marshes and swamps — the woodcocks and snipes, for example, who feed by thrusting their bills into the soft mud for the purpose of picking out the minute red worms and animalcules which abound in it, have the bill peculiarly adapted for this purpose. The upper mandible has a kind of nob at the end, which overlaps the under mandible, and not only prevents its being injured, but makes it quite easy for the bird to pass its bill both into and out of the ground without obstruction. How peculiarly well the bill of these birds is adapted for this purpose is perceived at once by drawing it through the fingers. The end of the mandible, too, is full of nerves, which enables the bird to distinguish the soft and minute substances on which it feeds without seeing them. The oyster-catcher, which feeds on shellfish and similar food, has a bill with hard sharp points, with which it can dig into and break the strong coverings of its prey; no tool could be made to answer the purpose better. The curlew's long curved bill is also a perfect implement for worming out the sea-slugs, which it extracts from the wet sands. The birds that live chiefly on the insects and water-plants which are found in swamps and muddy places have their feet of great size and length, which enables them to walk and run over muddy and soft places without sinking. The water-hen and water-rail, indeed, often run along the floating leaves of the water-plants without bearing them down by their weight. The bald coot, too, a bird that lives almost wholly in muddy places, has its feet and toes formed purposely for running on a soft surface. How different from the strongly retractile talons of the hawk and owl, made purposely to seize and hold their struggling prey.

Colonel A. K. McClure - Scotch-Irish Achievement
Here is how the address given by Colonel A. K. McClure starts...
Ladies and Gentlemen:— You have had very excellent samples of the oratory of the Scotch-Irish, and I am not here to deliver an oration, but I will give you a recess from Scotch-Irish oratory, by devoting a short space of the evening to a confidential conversation about our distinguished race. The trouble with me is to know where to begin. If you are asked, Where have the Scotch-Irish been, and where are they now? the answer is, Where have they not been, and where are they not? If you are asked what they have done, the answer of every intelligent citizen must be, What have they not done? If you ask what distinguished places of trust and power they have filled, the logical answer is, What place is there, in civil, military, or religious authority, that they have not filled?
To speak of such a race, is to speak of the history of the past achievements of our land; and, strange as it may seem, this people whose history is written in every annal of achievement in our land, is without a written history. There is not a single connected history of the Scotch-Irish in American literature, and there is not a history of any other people written in truth that does not tell of Scotch-Irish achievement. If you were to spend an evening in a New England library, you would find not only scores, but hundreds of volumes, telling of Puritan deeds; and if you were to study them, the natural inference would be that the only people that have existed and achieved any thing in this land were the Puritans. They have not only written everything that they have done, but they have written more than they have done. The story that they generally omit is their wonderful achievement in the burning of witches. There is a complete history of the Quakers. You find it in connected form in almost every library of any city.
There is a complete history of the Huguenots who settled in Carolina, and there is a connected history of every people of our land, save the one people whose deeds have made the history of this country the most lustrous of all. It is true, that those who write their history in deeds have least need of history in the records of our literature, but the time has come in this land when the Scotch-Irish owe it to themselves, and owe it especially to their children, who are now scattered from eastern to western sea, and from northern lake to southern gulf, that those who come after us shall learn not only that their ancestors have been foremost in achievement, but that their deeds have been made notable in history, as they were in the actions of men.
Some of our more thoughtful historians or students of history will pretend to tell you when the Scotch-Irish race began. I haven't heard even our Scotch-Irishmen who have studied the question do the subject justice. No such race of men could be created in a generation; no such achievements could be born in a century. No such people as the Scotch-Irish could be completed even in century after century; and while you are told that the Scotch-Irish go back in their achievements to the days of John Knox, John Knox lived a thousand years after the formation of the Scotch-Irish character began. He was like the stream of your western desert, that comes from the mountains and makes the valleys beautiful, and green, and fragrant, and then is lost in the sands of the desert. Men will tell you that it disappears and is lost. It is not.
After traversing perhaps hundreds of miles of subterranean passages, forgotten, unseen, it is still doing its work, and it rises again before it reaches the sea, and again makes new fields green, and beautiful, and bountiful. It required more than a thousand years to perfect the Scotch-Irish character. It is of a creation single from all races of mankind, and a creation not of one people nor of one century, nor even five centuries, but a thousand years of mingled effort and sacrifice, ending in the sieges of Derry, were required to present to the world the perfect Scotch-Irish character. If you would learn when the characteristics of the Scotch-Irish race began, go back a thousand years beyond the time of John Knox, and find that there was a crucial test that formed the men who perfected the Scotch-Irish character, after years and years of varying conflict and success, until the most stubborn, the most progressive, the most aggressive race in achievement, was given to the world. Let us go back to the sixth century, and what do we find?
We find Ireland the birth-place of the Scotch-Irish. We find Ireland foremost of all the nations of the earth, not only in religious progress, but in literature, and for two centuries thereafter the teacher of the world in all that made men great and achievements memorable. For two centuries the Irish of Ireland, in their own green land, were the teachers of men, not only in religion, but in science, in learning, and ail that made men great. She had her teachers and her scientists, men who filled her pulpits and went to every nation surrounding; and it was there that the Scotch-Irish character had its foundation; it was there that the characteristics became evident which afterward made them felt wherever they have gone. Those Irish were teachers of religion, and yet as stubborn for religious freedom as were the Scotch-Irish. Catholic, they often refused obedience to the Pope. They were men of conviction; they were men of learning. They were the advanced outposts of the progressive civilization of that day, and the cardinal doctrine of their faith, down deep-set in the heart, was absolute religious freedom, and they even combated the Vatican in maintaining their religious rights.

When the Steel Went Through
By P. Turner Bone
A new book this week and here is what the flyleaf of the book tells us...
In Turner Bone's delightful volume of reminiscences the reader will find the first narrative which has given a day-to-day picture of the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway across the prairies and over the mountains.
Mr. Bone came to Canada from Scotland as a young man in 1882, having served his engineering apprenticeship in Glasgow. He joined the construction forces which laid lines of steel through the then unknown west and across the Rockies to Vancouver. He writes vividly and gaily of his life and incidentally gives the reader a remarkably fresh and very human picture of early days on the prairies and in the Rockies.
When The Steel Went Through is actually an extract of the history of Canadian railway building, as Mr. Bone was connected with many such projects, including the laying of the Ontario and Quebec line, the short line through Maine, and the north and south C.P. lines out of Calgary to Edmonton and Lethbridge. The book is studded with informal and very good character sketches of men with whom he worked and who became famous, Sir Herbert Holt, Sir William Mackenzie, Sir Donald Mann, and many others.
Railroad men and all who lived through that exciting period will enjoy this engrossing story which is illustrated with many rare and excellent photographs.
Mr. D. C. Coleman, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, has contributed an introduction...
The writer of these reminiscences, who to the sorrow of his many friends departed this life while the manuscript was in the hands of the printer, was one of the last of the sadly dwindling band of pioneers who assisted in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and who in later years helped to create in Calgary one of the most interesting and colourful communities in the Western world. Canadians are notoriously careless about preserving records bearing on the early development and expansion of their own country. It is well, therefore, that one so well qualified as was Mr. Turner Bone should have told a great story to thrill and inspire the generations to come. In plain unvarnished prose he relates how the Canadian Pacific, having been hurled across the prairies at reckless speed, stormed the ramparts of the Rockies and the Selkirks and found its way to the peaceful Western sea. There is much information in this book which until now has never found its way into print, and which probably never would have done so had it not been for the acuteness of observation, and the remarkably retentive memory of Turner Bone. While there is no attempt at eloquence or fine writing, the narrative is illuminated from time to time by touches of sentiment which throw a light on the character of a singularly kindly and lovable man. He has left as his memorial a real contribution to Canadian history.
And in the Preface...
In the literary world, there are writers who have done noteworthy work in their declining years. It is on record that Longfellow, for the fiftieth anniversary of his class at college, wrote:
"Cato learned Greek at eighty; Sophocles
Wrote his grand Oepidus, and Simonides
Bore off the prize of verse from his compeers
Who each had numbered more than fourscore years;
And Theophrastus at fourscore and ten
Had but begun his Characters of men."
With such notable examples of successful defiance of age to stimulate me, I have, at "more than fourscore years", made my first literary venture. This appears in form as my reminiscences — which many of my friends have expressed the hope I would write.
A considerable part of this work covers my early days on the Prairies, and in the Rocky Mountains, when I was one of the engineers employed on the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. That was sixty years ago. There are few of us now left to tell a first-hand story of that work. So I have felt I should do my part in preserving some record of those days, by relating my own experiences.
In my presentation of these I have naturally mentioned quite frequently those with whom I was most closely associated. However modest the positions which some of them held, they played a necessary part in the construction of the railway; and, later, were prominent in the development of the West. They were worthy pioneers, whose names I have endeavoured to preserve, so that, though they pass out of sight they will not be forgotten.
P. Turner Bone
And so I hope you will all enjoy this story which has the first three chapters up at http://www.electricscotland.com/history/canada/steelndx.htm
And that's all for now and hope you all have a Happy Easter weekend :-)

Continuous-Disc_Plate_Dryer - Drying equipment series - Jiangyin Jiayuan Pharmaceutical Equipment Co., Ltd.
PLG Series Continuous Disc Plate Dryer is a high efficiency conducting and continuous drying equipment. Its unique structure and operating principle determine that it has advantages of high heat efficiency, low energy consumption, small occupied area, simple configuration, easy operation and control as well as good operating environment and etc. It can be widely used in drying process in the fields of chemical, pharmaceuticals, agricultural, foodstuff, feed, and other industries.
There are three major types: normal pressure type, closed type, and vacuum type; and four major models: 1200, 1500, 2200 and 3000; and three kind of material grades, A (carbon steel), B (use stainless steel for material contacted area), and C (use stainless steel for material contacted area, steam pipes, main shaft and supports, and linings for cylinder body and top cover).The drying area of the dryer is 4 to 180㎡. We have produced hundreds of models with auxiliary devices which are available to meet requirements of all customers.
The wet material is fed continuously to the first drying layer on the top of the dryer. It will be turned and stirred by rakes when the rake arm rotates and drop down to the outer edge of the large drying plate along the exponential helical line. The material will be moved from the small drying plate to its outer edge and drop down to the outer edge of the large drying plate underneath. Both small and large drying plates are arranged alternately so the materials can go through the dryer continuously. The heat medium can be saturated steam, hot water or thermal oil. The heat will be led into hollow drying plates from one end and come out from the other end. The dried materials will drop from the last layer of the drying plate to the bottom of the dryer and then moved by rakes to the discharge outlet. The material moisture will be removed from the exhaust outlet on the top cover. For the vacuum-type plate dryer, the moisture will be sucked out by the vacuum pump on the top cover. The dried materials will be discharged from the bottom layer. The drying capability can be improved if the dryer equipped with supplementary devices such as finned heater, condenser for solvent retrieval, bag dust remover, return and mix mechanism, draft fan, and etc.
(1) Easy to adjust and control, good applicability.
- The drying efficiency can be improved by adjusting the thickness of material layer, rotary speed of main shaft, quantity of harrow arm, shape and size harrow plates.
- Each drying layer can input hot medium or cool medium individually for heating or cooling. The temperature control is accurate and easy to adjust.
- The residence time of materials can be adjusted accurately.
- Single material flowing direction to prevent material return and mixing. The drying process is uniform and the quality stable, no re-mixing is required.
- Simple operation for turn on and turn off.
- After material feeding is stopped, the remaining material inside of the machine can be easily discharged out by the harrows.
- You can clean and observe inside from the large-scale viewing window.
- The material layer is thin and the rotary speed of main shaft is low, so it required low power and electricity consumption.
- The material is dried by conducting heat, so it has high heating efficiency.
- Normal pressure type: The speed of air flow inside of the machine is low and the humidity is high in upper end and low in bottom end, so the dust can't float to the top which keeps no dust in the exhausted air.
- Closed type: The machine is equipped with solvent recovery device which can recover organic solvent easily from the wet air. The solvent recovery device has a simple structure and high recovery rate. For the flammable, explosive and poisonous materials, the nitrogen can be used as medium for closed circulation and keeps a safe working condition.
- Vacuum type: The plate dryer is operating under vacuum condition and it is particularly suitable for drying heat sensitive materials.
- The dryer is delivered in a complete piece so it is quite easy to install and fix at site.
- The disc plates are being arranged by layers and it will be installed vertically, so it takes a small occupying area from the workshop.
- Designing pressure: generally 0.4Mpa, and the max. pressure is 1.6 MPa.
- Max. working pressure: generally ≤0.4Mpa, and the max. pressure is 1.6 MPa.
- Revolution of main shaft: 1~10 rpm, electromagnetism or transducer timing.
- Rake arm: 2 to 8 rake arms will be fixed on the main shaft on the every layer.
- Rake blade: the rake blades are hinged to the rake arms and float with the surface of the plate. There're several types of rake blades.
- Roller: For the material that is easy to agglomerate, or required to be grinded, the rollers shall be placed at the appropriate place to reinforce the heat transfer and drying process.
- Normal pressure: The dryer body is cylindrical or octagonal and the structure can be integrated or separated. The ducting system for the heat source can be placed inside or outside of the dryer.
- Sealed: The dryer body is cylindrical and it can bear the interior pressure of 5KPa. The ducting system for the heat source can be placed inside or outside of the dryer.
- Vacuum: The dryer body is cylindrical and the design pressure is 0.1MPa. The ducting system for the heat source is placed inside of the dryer.
The air heater is usually used to meet larger evaporation capacity requirements in order to increase drying efficiency.

Charles Furr	Go directly to Charles 's Portfolios ↓
Charles Key Furr (1928-2014) was born in the Lone Star State, where be began to express his artistic leanings at an early age first by drawing Disney characters, and later in his youth by practicing still life illustrations before progressing to oil portraits. His father often "commissioned" Charles by assigning the young artist to paint window signs for the family's grocery store business. Soon after graduating high school, Charles packed a knapsack and his bike and with a handful of other young adventurers left his hometown Amarillo, Texas to tour post-war Europe, at the time a risky undertaking. Although tourists were permitted to travel, basic staples had been limited and many depended on post-war rationing as well as the generosity of residents. Charles was deeply affected by the experience abroad and especially by Italy. This post war adventure would be the first of many travels, and they would forever influence his art - both in style and in subject matter. Charles would mix study and travel - attending the University of Colorado, Boulder to begin two years of formal art training, then an assignment to work for a Quaker organization in Mexico helping the Indians with field cultivation, followed by a year in New York at the Art Student's League and two years at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, under the tutelage of masters, Karl Zerbe and David Aronson. He then returned to Mexico through the Friends Service Committee where he operated an orphanage for Indian children and taught students at the town's federal school for from 1953-1955. While continuing to paint and to study, this time at the Escuela de Antropología, Charles also collected data on impoverished families living in the slums of Mexico City for the renowned anthropologist and writer, Oscar Lewis. From the data Charles collected the book The Children of Sanchez was written, published in 1961 and later made into a movie released in 1971. In 1954 The Christian Herald published the article "Honeymoon in Huitzo" which detailed his life and work there. Reader's Digest condensed the article under the title "Honeymoon in Mexico." A short twenty-eight minute film was also produced in 1955. For the next seven years, Charles would travel artistically and geographically -- to study etching and tempera in Italy, formal studies in Colorado, travels to Mexico for his thesis on the murals of Teotihuacan, and returning to Italy to do intensive research in Italian Renaissance at the Harvard Berenson Library, I Tatti. After this, he and his wife, Beatriz, realized that although Italy was an idyllic place to live, proximity to family was foremost. Colorado and New Mexico soon became home for the next 20 years. After deeply immersing himself in life in the Southwest, serving as a new base for his paintings, studies and travels, Charles and Beatriz moved to the Philadelphia area, making trips to Europe more accessible. Throughout his life, Charles was a committed artist, prolific and talented in his creative output. His work has been exhibited at the Wayne Art Center and the Tredyffrin Library. For several years the Tori Collection also represented his paintings. Charles Furr lived and painted in Devon, Pennsylvania up until his death in 2014. Throughout his life, his artistic vision was motivated, as he said "the artist's continued preoccupation in the search for beauty, the artist's ability to captivate it; then representing it in its truest form is the product that is finally judged by others, but never quite mastered by the artist."

Forming a Moon with an Earth-like composition via a Giant Impact (Canup, pp. 1052-1055) WITH Making the Moon From a Fast-Spinning Earth: A Giant Impact Followed by Resonant Despinning ( uk, pp. 1047-1052 in Science 338, 6110, November 23, 2012
Canup, Robin WITH uk, M.; Stewart, S. T.
New York: AAAS, 2012. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF TWO IMPORTANT PAPERS ON THE GIANT-IMPACT THEORY, THE CURRENTLY FAVORED SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS FOR THE FORMATION OF THE MOON. The Giant-Impact Theory is also know as the Giant-Impact Hypothesis, the Big Splash, and the The Impact.
"The giant impact believed to have formed the Earth-Moon system has long been accepted as canon. However, a major challenge to the theory has been that the Earth and Moon have identical oxygen isotope compositions, even though earlier impact models indicated they should differ substantially" (Phys Org Web Portal, 17 October 2012). The significance of Canup's paper is that it "accounts for this similarity in composition while also yielding an appropriate mass for Earth and the Moon" (ibid).
Motivated by the work of others on the early dynamical history of the Moon, Robin Canup, working at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, CO, developed new models that involve much larger impactors than were previously considered. In the new simulations, both the impactor and the target are of comparable mass, with each containing about 4 to 5 times the mass of Mars. The near symmetry of the collision causes the disk's composition to be extremely similar to that of the final planet's mantle over a relatively broad range of impact angles and speeds, consistent with the Earth-Moon compositional similarities. The new impacts produce an Earth that is rotating 2 to 2.5 times faster than implied by the current angular momentum of the Earth-Moon system, which is contained in both the Earth's rotation and the Moon's orbit" (PHYS ORG, New Model, Oct. 17, 2012).
WITHBOUND: This paper by Dr. Matija uk, SETI Institute, and Dr. Sarah T. Stewart at Harvard University proposed that the angular momentum of the early Earth was larger than the present day system. If so, different types of impact events could generate a lunar disk from the same materials that formed the young Earth's mantle. After the impact, an orbital resonance transferred angular momentum away from the Earth-Moon system to reach the present day value" (Stewart, Origin of the Earth and Moon, Web Portal).
In other words, in addition to the impacts identified in Canup's paper, uk and Stewart show that impacts involving a much smaller, high-velocity impactor colliding into a target that is rotating very rapidly due to a prior impact can also produce a disk-planet system with similar compositions.
"The ultimate likelihood of each impact scenario will need to be assessed by improved models of terrestrial planet formation, as well as by a better understanding of the conditions required for the evection resonance mechanism" (ibid). Item #1193

Iranian Women Fight for their Rights
By Elise Auerbach
Shirin Ebadi
As International Women's Day approaches on March 8th, it's time to recognize the struggles and achievements of women's rights activists around the world. One of the most vibrant women's rights movements is in Iran, where every day courageous women risk their freedom and safety to fight for their rights. While most use peaceful means to end discriminatory treatment of women in Iranian family law, they face increasing persecution from the Iranian government: Women are routinely arrested, imprisoned, threatened and banned from traveling abroad.
Even the most prominent women's rights activist in Iran, lawyer and 2003 Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi, is not immune to this mistreatment. She has been repeatedly threatened in government-controlled media in recent months and the Defenders of Human Rights Center, that she operates to provide legal assistance to victims of human rights violations, was forcibly shut down by the government last December and her papers and computers seized.
Why is the Iranian government so afraid of its own women citizens calling for equal rights? The government trots out preposterous charges against them such as "acting against national security through propaganda against the state." How can women walking around a mountainous area north of Tehran to collect petition signatures possibly undermine the state? How could Alieh Eghdamdoust, recently taken into custody and forced to start serving a three-year prison sentence for participating in a peaceful demonstration in June 2006, possibly be a threat to the security of Iran?
As the Iran country specialist for Amnesty International USA I am constantly challenged on how to craft actions and mobilize activist to combat this disproportionate and seemingly irrational repression of non-violent human rights defenders. And like many human rights activists, I am often frustrated and confounded. But I am also always inspired by the unrelenting courage and pluckiness of women activists in Iran. When asked by the judge at her trial why she participated in the demonstration, Alieh Eghdamdoust replied to the judge, "You should participate as well. Why didn't you defend your daughters and wife's rights by attending the legal peaceful gathering?"
I think of Ms. Eghdamdoust's spirited response as International Women's Day approaches and I ask you to take action to support our sister activists in Iran. Please write to the Iranian government and call for an end to the harassment of peaceful women's rights activists in Iran. Thank you all and please let us know what actions you have taken and any suggestions you have.

Thank you for all you are doing for Human Rights. Please let me know how we can help you.
I thought that you would like to see this latest Documentary entitled: The Story of Human Rights.
It is an incredible short film (about 10 minutes in length) and was released about a months ago. You can view it at: http://www.humanrights.com/#/what-are-human-right…
Interestingly enough, if more people knew their 30 Human Rights, as explained in the Universal Delclaration of Human Rights and insisted on their rights, the world would be a far more peaceful and civilized place for all of us.

The object-oriented system Go4 (GSI Object Oriented On-line Off-line system) is based on ROOT (R. Brun et al.) with the specific requirements of the low and medium energy nuclear and atomic physics experiments implemented as extensions.
Go4separates analysis and GUI in two tasks which could run on different nodes. Communication is done through threads and sockets. The GUI is built with the Qt widget library using the Qt designer. Qt and ROOT are interfaced by QtROOT. Full ROOT functionality including menus and graphics is available without modifications. The Go4 analysis framework provides the syntax to organize the analysis in steps which can be controlled from the GUI. Each step has its own IO and processing classes.
The Go4 event classes can be used to construct at runtime complex (composite) events which are stored by Go4 in trees and branches without explicit programming.
The Go4 GUI includes a browser and tree viewer which can be used without analysis to process standard ROOT files. The tree viewer resolves arbitrary hierarchy levels of composite event trees.
It should be portable to other UNIX platforms supported by ROOT.

Mid-American Conference Football News: Buffalo Bulls LB Kadofi Wright Named to Lombardi Award Watch List
Posted on 5 months ago by Jack Brill
Kadofi Wright
HOUSTON – University at Buffalo linebacker Kadofi Wright has been named to the Lombardi Award Preseason Watch List. The Rotary Lombardi Award goes annually to the college football offensive or defensive lineman, who in addition to outstanding performance and ability, best exemplifies the character and discipline of NFL Hall of Fame Head Coach Vince Lombardi.
Wright is one of 80 players who will compete for this year's coveted award and the only player on the list from the Mid-American Conference.
Taking advantage of the extra year due to COVID-19, Wright is returning for his sixth season at UB. He appeared in seven games and started six at outside linebacker last season. He totaled 23 tackles, three tackles for loss, an interception and a team-best seven pass breakups on the season. For his career, Wright has 99 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, three interceptions, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. He has scored three defensive touchdowns over his career. He was an All-MAC Second Team selection in 2019.
This year's watch list is filled with talent from a multitude of schools and conferences, which should make for an exciting voting process. To be considered for the Rotary Lombardi Award, players must be a NCAA FBS College Football team member and meet the following qualifications:
Be a down lineman, end to end, either on offense or defense, setting up no further than ten (10) yards to the left or right of the ball at the time of the snap.
Be a Linebacker on defense, setting up no further than five (5) yards deep from the line of scrimmage.
Must not come out of the offensive backfield and set up on the line of scrimmage as a Blocker or a Receiver or listed in the program as an Offensive Back or Receiver.
Be eligible to participate in the current season.

The surprise toys keep on coming and this upcoming holiday it's all about the Hairdorables! Here's everything you need to know (and where you can get your hands on them).
[ UPDATE ] If you're looking for Hairdorables Series 2, you're in luck because currently we found them in-stock. Check them out here and scroll down to learn more about them. Jump right to Series 2!
If it's one thing we know for sure it's that kids are all over these surprise toys. They love the feeling of having no idea what or who they're going to get when they open it. And, well, nothing is worse than when they're 100% let down by the one they got. You know Santa always messes that one up. Eh, give him a break she's he's busy!
This upcoming Christmas season your kiddos are most likely going to be asking for Hairdorables Dolls. These are the new surprise everything dolls from Just Play. While usually a surprise toy means that just one thing is the surprise, this time around everything is the surprise…from the doll to all 10 accessories that are included. Here's everything else we know about these famous little cuties.
How Many Hairdorable Dolls Are There?
Currently you can collect 36 of these dolls in Series 1. This leads us to believe that, depending on their success, there could be a Series 2. Just think of all the dolls you'll have scattered all over your house. Also, what makes the collecting part so much fun is that there are 2 rare dolls and 1 ultra-rare doll in the mix. So good luck finding them. Your kiddos will be tearing these boxes open like they open all their Christmas gifts (like animals) just to see if they scored these prized possessions.
How Do You Play With Them?
Well the most fun part is opening the surprise box to see who you got. It's like having a baby without knowing whether it's a boy or a girl. Sort of. You'll pull the tab on the front of the box to start to open it and then, via the velcro, the box will open in two sections. On the left will be all the individual accessories like stickers, combs, fashion items, and more. They're all in individually sectioned pods that peel back to easily open. On the right will be the actual doll. The way it opens you'll be able to use the box as whatever the theme actually is. We've seen a bedroom, a stage, a dressing room, and more! You can comb their hair, set up a little music video with them using the background and so much more!
Right now we're hearing it's slated for the fall of 2018, but you're able to pre-order Hairdorables on Amazon now. Amazon will release them on August 1, 2018. Places like Walmart will release them on August 22, 2018. Personally, we love the pre order option because then we don't have to freak out over not being able to get them once holiday shopping time starts.
How Much is This Thing Going to Cost Me?!
Don't worry, individually these dolls won't break the bank. The retail price is $12.88. Uh, yes, that's the actual price. Why they ended it with the ".88" is beyond us, but currently that's the price on both Amazon and Walmart. Now if you're trying to collect all 36, simple math tells us that'll set you back around $463.00. Best of luck.
What are All the Different Dolls?
These New Toys Really are the Best of the Year!

Plans to relocate Chile's Pavilion for Expo Milan 2015 in the Araucania Region of Chile were announced by Foreign Minister Heraldo Muñoz, alongside the Mayor of the Araucania Region Andres Jouannet, General Director of Direcon Andres Rebolledo and the Chilean Commissioner for Expo Milan Lorenzo Constans. The building will serve as a Cultural and Fair Trade Centre. Relocation is expected to be complete by the end of 2016.
On May 24th, the space occupied by the pavilion during the Expo, will be officially returned to the organization of the event. The structure was sent back in 46 containers of which 25 have already arrived at the Port of San Antonio. The rest of the structure is expected to arrive by the end of May.It will be set up beside Ñielol Hill, city of Temuco, in a 5.000 square meter area of land which is located alongside important public buildings which includes the Regional Audit Office. It will be managed by the Araucanian Regional Government Office in strategic partnership with the Mapuche Chamber of Commerce.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to bring Chile's Pavilion from Expo Milan 2015 back to our country. The pavilion of which the central theme was the promotion of Chilean food products, under the slogan 'the Love of Chile,' as per a poem by Chile's Raul Zurita. During a six-month period, the pavilion was visited by more than 1.2 million people and Chilean food products had an enormous success," Minister Muñoz said.
The final location was chosen by President Bachelet. "We launched a contest in order to determine the ultimate location of the pavilion and we received very good submissions coming from diverse regions. In the end we had a short list and the President decided that the winner was the Araucania Region," Minister Muñoz said.
The wooden radiata-pine-structure of 2000 square meters was made by architect Cristian Undurraga and creative director Eugenio Garcia. The idea behind the structure was to represent the chains of emotional affections that occur from the moment the food is seeded, harvested, transported and cooked, right up until the point of finally being served up on the tables of Chile and many other corners of the world. The pavilion received the Silver distinction award in the category of Architecture and Landscaping up-to-2000 square meters by the BIE. It also received an Honored Award by the Italian National Council of Architects.
The pavilion received additional accolades in three of the four categories of Best Practices for Sustainable Development (BPSD) which was organized by the Ministry of Environment of Italy, the Polytechnic University of Milan and the organizers of Expo Milan 2015.
