The page limit for the project description has been reduced from 10 pages of text and 5 pages of figures, to 5 pages of text and 5 pages of figures.
Reference to "time-limited opportunities" has been removed, as these are covered by the RAPID mechanism.
2 to 5 per year. Variable, depending on number of submissions and availability of funds.
Total anticipated funding amount of $100,000 to $150,000 per year pending the availability of funds.
Much anthropological research is conducted in distant areas of the world where circumstances may exist that render access to data, research sites, or other resources uncertain. Anthropologists also sometimes need to test new and innovative methodologies.
To allow projects for which research outcomes are at risk for these or other reasons, Archaeology and Biological Anthropology programs have established the High Risk Research in Biological Anthropology and Archaeology program (HRRBAA). PIs may apply for small awards (not to exceed $35,000 total costs and a one-year duration) to support pilot projects for proof of concept or proof of access.
This program is designed to permit the submission of high-risk, exploratory proposals that can lead to significant new anthropological knowledge. Because of a highly competitive environment, proposals that have both a high risk of failure and the potential for significant payoffs are less able to compete with standard research proposals. This program is designed to provide a mechanism whereby risky proposals with a great potential for advancement of the discipline can compete for funding. The risk involved in such endeavors must significantly exceed that associated with regular research projects. The Archaeology and Biological Anthropology programs utilize this mechanism.
The following describes possible proposals for this program, but these are not necessarily the only applicable situations. As the definition of risk can vary by sub-discipline and because an assessment of the potential payoff is integral to the decision process, it is necessary to discuss topics with the appropriate program officer prior to submission.
A biological anthropologist or archaeologist may desire to search for primate or hominid fossils, and/or artifacts, features, and sites. The location of appropriate geological formations or occupation sites may be suggested by early documents in a library, but a reconnaissance trip to the area is necessary to assess the ability to locate suitable sites and to gain permissions and logistical support to conduct the research.
The review process for HRRBAA proposals involves obtaining three reviews from experts in the appropriate area, but does not require review by the cognizant program panel. Hence review can be expedited relative to standard proposals that are evaluated by a review panel.
Estimated program budget, number of awards and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds. Individual awards are limited to $35,000 total costs and one year duration.
Full Proposals submitted via Research.gov: Proposals submitted in response to this program solicitation should be prepared and submitted in accordance with the general guidelines contained in the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide(PAPPG). The complete text of the PAPPG is available electronically on the NSF website at: https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=pappg. Paper copies of the PAPPG may be obtained from the NSF Publications Clearinghouse, telephone (703) 292-7827 or by e-mail from nsfpubs@nsf.gov. The Prepare New Proposal setup will prompt you for the program solicitation number.
The HRRBAA proposal project description is limited to 5 pages of text and up to 5 pages of figures. PIs should include an explanation fully detailing why the project is of high risk, and how, if successful the award would lead to a subsequent, larger, and more fully developed research project.
Awards are limited to no more than $35,000 total costs and one year duration.

For me, it's all about the bananas. Ours are the most delicious kind of sweet bananas. We call them Bogoya. ... and it's the banana project with an isolated community of farmers that blossomed into an admired example of sustainable development, using traditional planting techniques and local resources.... and then it's replicating this project in thousands of communities across Africa as part of Slow Food's Gardens in Africa initiative.These are the things that make me proud to be a member of Slow Food.
But I hear you're not yet a member. I hope you'll change that today. We need you. Our membership drive ends tomorrow at midnight.
My personal dream is to see that people in Africa have access to good, clean and fair food. That every person can eat food that not only fills their bellies but also nourishes their lives and communities. Slow Food is the only organization I know of that has the power AND the right approach to make this happen.We can do it, but only with your help. Will you please join Slow Food today?When I heard Slow Food was planning a worldwide membership campaign, I wanted to be a part of it. I am pleased to share what it means for me to be part of Slow Food in Africa, and the pride I have in being connected to people who share my values all over the world. Please, stand with me and show that we are truly a global community.Become a member now in support of local agriculture and food biodiversity across the globe.


Fit theft resistant number plate fittings – stolen number plates are commonly used to hide the identity of stolen vehicles. Use one way clutch head screws and adhesive to secure the plate.
Thieves are using sophisticated methods to steal vehicles with electronic keys - a scanner is used to locate the signal from the key. To prevent this, always keep the electronic key in a security pouch when not in use.
Fitting locking wheel nuts will reduce the likelihood of wheels and tyres being stolen.
Leaving items on show is an invitation – power leads, satnav's and mounts, stereo front panels, coins, sunglasses, tools, clothing and bags should be removed from the vehicle or placed out of sight.
Keys and ignition fobs should kept safe and out of sight and reach – the most common ways to steal a car or van is to take the keys or ignition fob, either when left in the vehicle or from your home through burglary. Try not to keep your keys in an obvious place such as the hallway or kitchen.
Always lock and close the windows of your vehicle when unattended – on the drive, the petrol station forecourt or when parking an unlocked vehicle is the easiest to steal or steal from.
Fit an alarm or immobiliser if your vehicle does not have one.
Set the steering wheel lock if your vehicle is fitted with one. If not, use a bar type steering lock each time you leave your vehicle.
Also consider using a gear stick lock.
Keep your motorcycle or moped in a garage, shed or designated bike store at home – storing it out of view is one of the best ways to prevent opportunist theft. Consider fitting a garage or shed alarm.
Fit an alarm, immobiliser, preferably with tracking capability and property mark any panels – alarms act as a deterrent. Tracking devices and property marking assist in recovery should your motorcycle or moped be stolen.
Lock the rear wheel to an immovable object or ground anchor and use a disk lock on the front wheel – making the vehicle less of any easy option will reduce the chances of it being targeted. Combine the use of a disk lock on the front wheel and a chain lock to a ground anchor.
Don't rely on the steering lock – standard steering locks are easily defeated and your bike can always be lifted into a van if not secured.
Use a bike cover – covers are another hassle for an opportunist thief, if they cannot see what moped or motorcycle it is they are less likely to target it.

Q: New instance of function with object property Function are first class objects in JavaScript - but how to use that in combination with new?
I get how to make an object that acts both like a function and like an object
fetch.proxy = '127.0.0.1'
fetch(url)

But I am trying to figure out how I can combine this with creating a new intance so I can do something along the lines of:
a = new Fetch(host, username)

a(path1) // fetches username@host/path1

a(path2) // fetches username@host/path2

(not so useful example with only 1 instance)
The following approach does not work as applying new returns an object (so get TypeError: object is not a function).
var Fetch = function(a, b){

    if ( (this instanceof arguments.callee) ){
        //called as constructor
        this.host = a
        this.username = b;
        this.host = 'localhost'

    } else {

   //called as function
   console.log("Fetching "+this.username+'@'+this.host+a);
    }
};

a = new Fetch('host', 'username')

a('/path1') // TypeError: object is not a function

a('/path2') // TypeError: object is not a function

I have been playing with Fetch.prototype.constructor based on http://tobyho.com/2010/11/22/javascript-constructors-and/ and What it the significance of the Javascript constructor property? but must admit I have started to question if its possible at all.
Do you have any good ideas?

A:
how to use that in combination with new?

It doesn't make sense to do that. All that new Foo does is create a new object that inherits from Foo.prototype. However it is currently not possible to have some functions inherit from a prototype other than Function.prototype, so there is no advantage to use new Something to create a function.

Since you are not using prototype in your example, it doesn't matter though. Simply return a function from Fetch:
var Fetch = function(host, username){
  function fetch(path) {
     console.log("Fetching " + fetch.username + '@' + fetch.host + path);
  }
  fetch.username = username;
  fetch.host = host;
  return fetch;
};

Now you can call Fetch with or without new **, it doesn't make a difference:
var a = Fetch(host, username);
// same as
var a = new Fetch(host, username);

Note that I changed this.username to fetch.username in the above example. Every function has its own this value which does not refer to the function instance itself by default, so this.username would not work.
This would allow changing the host or username after the creation via a.username = 'something else';, etc. If you don't want that, simply change fetch.username to username.

**: If the function explicitly returns an object, then new will return that value instead of the newly created object inheriting from Fetch.prototype.

A: If you want some kind of inheritance, you can ask your constructor to create and return a new function you'll prototype thanks to setProtototypeOf:

const Fetch = function (host, user)
{
  var fetch // new instance of function, relay to model

  fetch = function(path) {
    // note we use the closure on instance 'fetch'
    return Fetch.model.apply(fetch, arguments)
  }

  // 'setPrototypeOf' is not as borderline as '__proto__',
  // but it has some caveats anyway. Check for example MDN
  // about this.
  Object.setPrototypeOf(fetch, Fetch.model)

  if (host) fetch.host     = host
  if (user) fetch.username = user

  return fetch
}

// we name 'model' here; it also works if we
// say 'prototype' instead.
// It would have been both more meaningful and more confusing at the
// same time, as the prototype would not get used the standard way.
Fetch.model = function (path)
{
  console.log("Fetching " + this.username + '@' + this.host + path)
}
Fetch.model.host     = 'localhost'
Fetch.model.username = 'peter'

var fetch = new Fetch // 'new' is not needed: can say '= Fetch()'
fetch.host = 'paradise'

fetch('/register')

Q: how to disable the button in react native on acknowledgement from webservice in reactnative i have a situation as below, on reciveing that the acknowledgement was successful in sendacknowledgement function i want to disable the button any ideas pls help....//in the code in ack response: was success then disable//or if it enters gotourl() then disable
function gotourl() {
    console.log("url===> ", url);

    if (url != null) {
        console.log("url===> ", url);
        Linking.openURL(url);
    }
    acknowledgement = JSON.stringify({
        ack: {
            UserId: userid,
            EventId: messageid,
            EventName: event,
            EventStatus: "Accepted",
        },
    });
    sendack();
}

const deleteItem = (index) => {
    acknowledgement = JSON.stringify({
        ack: {
            UserId: userid,
            EventId: messageid,
            EventName: event,
            EventStatus: "Rejected",
        },
    });
    sendack();
};

function sendack() {
    fetch("url")
        .then((response) => response.json())
        .then((data) => {
            sendacknowledgement(data);
        });
}

function sendacknowledgement(beatoken) {
    console.log("inside send ack token ====>>>>", beatoken);
    console.log("acknowledgement===>", acknowledgement);

    fetch("url", {
        method: "PUT",
        withCredentials: true,
        credentials: "include",
        headers: {
            Authorization: "Bearer " + beatoken,
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },

        body: acknowledgement,
    })
        .then((response) => response.json())
        .then((data) => console.log("ACK Response: ", data))
        .catch((err) =>
            console.log("ERROR DURING SENDING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ===> ", err)
        );
}

                />
            </>
        )}
    </View>
);
};

A: to achieve you task declare a new state to disable dinamically the button
const [isDisable, setIsDisable] = React.useState(false)

When your webservice finish to fetch and is successfull update the state of isDisabled to true
.then((data) => {
  console.log("ACK Response: ", data)
  setIsDisabled(true)
})

In the end use the React native props disabled and pass your state
<Button
         onPress={() => gotourl()}
         title="Accept"
         color="green"
         disabled={isDisable}
                />

municipality about 260 km from Sofia, 85 km south of Plovdiv, 15 km north of Smolyan and 10 km south of Chepelare.
The climate of Pamporovo is characterized by mild winters, which has over 100 sunny days. The resort ranks first on sunny days among all mountain resorts in Bulgaria. The average annual temperature is 5.5 ° C.
Pamporovo is very suitable for the development of skiing and is recognized by several international organizations, including the Neilson Active Holidays, the best resort in Europe for beginners with the best ski school in Pamporovo AD for the 2010/11 season. The main tourist flow during the winter months. Almost all ski slopes in the resort start from Mount Snow, their altitude of 1926 m to 1400 m. Snow Peak e part of a hundred tourist sites of the Bulgarian Tourist Union, the seal is in the hut "Studenets". The tourist season starts in December and lasts until the end of April. Because of the beautiful nature area is visited by tourists during the summer months.
The latest project of the resort newly opened bike park for mountain biking Velo Park Pamporovo.
It was officially opened in the summer of 2012 and quickly managed to become one of the leading bike destinations in Bulgaria. The park has a total of five specialized and differentiated paths and mountain biking routes with a total length of 20 km, suitable for all ages and skills. The tracks are filled with various obstacles and interactive play, as kickers, jumps, various wooden structures, unique in Bulgaria and marked routes with different levels of difficulty, aimed at cross country discipline.
The ski runs in Pamporovo are with different levels of difficulty from green – suitable for beginners to black – a real challenge for professionals. Their total length is 37 kilometers. The resort is especially suitable for skiing. The route has a total length of 25 kilometers. and passes through scenic areas of Pamporovo to. Mugla and vice versa. The most numerous are slopes for beginners green and blue. About 90% of the slopes are equipped with artificial snow, steady snow cover in winter, despite the relatively low altitude. Pamporovo ski area is equipped with a 145 number hydrant pits, on which can be mounted snow guns and the number of functioning 80 snow cannons, as yet their number has increased steadily each year.
Also, there are trails for cross country skiing and biathlon and sport shooting in the area of the dam. Capacity lifts and ski lifts is 7,000 persons per hour. The resort has several ski schools that offer high-level training in skiing and snowboarding for all levels. If you do not own, you can rent ski or snowboard in any of the fifty ski wardrobe in Pamporovo.
The current state of the slopes and prices for use of the equipment can be found on the website of the resort Pamporovo.
Also maps for equipment can be purchased already and on-line through the website.


The most important step in any big application development life cycle is database design, If it requires any data storage. We have come across many developers who will never think much before finalising the database design. Some people will simply add fields into the table , some people simply define the data type without considering the type of data stored in real time. Let's take a simple example and do analysis which shows big picture of database design importance with small set of data.
Consider the following example , a database designed for a simple requirement and then the analysis of the same.
Design a database for a web application where registered users will post articles. Any one can post any article, each article might fall under some category, A Category is again defined under a department and a stream. There will be Maximum 100 departments and 100 streams in the system.
For example , an article on " Analysis of computer simulated data on wheels of a plane ", this article might fall under "Aerospace" Department, Physics stream .
Another article on " Calculation of Voltage variations within the cooling system " ,this article might fall under "Aerospace" Department , Electrical stream.
Considering the above design, and observe the department Id and Stream id fields in respective tables are defined as INT , The values of these two fields will never go beyond 100 as per the requirement. The first mistake is the datatype defined INT is not right. It can be declared as TINYINT(1) which holds value upto +127 , since both department id and stream id are declared as INT , extra 3 bytes is wasted for each record, because INT takes 4 bytes, and TINYINT takes 1 byte memory.
If by chance each table ( department and stream ) holds 100 rows , then considering above storage details of each data type , for each row 3 bytes is wasted and hence if there are 100 records , for each table 300 bytes of data wasted.
So overall 600 bytes wasted from these two tables for just 100 records. This doesn't make any difference because it is just a matter of few hundred bytes.
But If I change the above ArticePost table as follows ( that kind of mistakes usually happens when the database is bigger which will be having 100+ tables , since here only few tables are there then there is very less chance of such mistakes ).
For a quick access if I put both department id and stream id in ArticlePost table itself , the things will go worse !
If we consider 100,000 number of rows in articles then the things will be worse ! For each row 600 bytes of memory waste as per Analysis I , so now for 100,000 rows how much memory waste ?
100,000 * 600 = 600,00,000 bytes = 57.220 MB memory wasted.
In real time , 100,000 of rows is not a big one , We should consider one thing very seriously here , 57.220 MB memory waste just because of two extra fields in a table and with improper usage of datatype .
in general INT(N) , where N decides how much space it should consume ?.
Remember what we studied in C ? Can we relate this to C bit fields concept ?
Assume that I wanted to hold a status of the request in ma C program written for managing a government office complaint management system.
Since We are holding only status , it not required to have an int of 4 bytes ! only one byte is sufficient to hold either 0 or 1 , where 0 indicates NO , 1 indicates YES.
By above structure your compiler will restrict the amount of memory used by status .
Before starting with RESTFul web services , one must be knowing the basics of web services, We have studied basics of web services in our previous chapter, Once you learn basics, it will be great to go ahead.
As we discussed in previous chapter Web services plays a major role in future of web. We will try to learn how the things will be developed, we will have a hands on with development of web services using java. Before starting with web service development we will like to give step-by-step guide for java setup.
We need java sdk installed, tomcat server installed and eclipse as an IDE for development. Web services can be developed with PHP, C# .net , Ruby on Rails. Since our team is comfortable with java, we would like to write further chapters targeting java for the same.
2> Double click on .dmg file , which opens a window and double click on package file as shown in the fig below.
2> Unarchive the tomcat folder from your download folder.
These commands are used just to move the tomcat folder into /user/local folder.
4> Create symbolic link for the tomcat – this helps to keep tomcat updated when we get latest tomcat updates.
The installation of tomcat is done!
In our next chapter let us try to create a sample on web services in Java.

Any excuse to play Creatures is always a good one, especially when that involves bringing in some new players! The wonderful GOG is having another sale this weekend, which includes savings of 70% off the Creatures games! The Region-Neutral Non-Specific Seasonal Silliness promotion is good until January 20th at 4:59 PM GMT. There are a number of games included with the promotion, but this is the perfect opportunity to get ahold of Creatures: The Albian Years, Creatures Exodus, and even Creatures Village! I have been able to run all of these titles from GOG on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems without any trouble. Windows 8 has been known to be a little shaky, but with a price tag of $1.79 each, it seems worth it just to add these to any collection. This is just about the only legal way to obtain Creatures for newer operating systems. GOG is a wonderful site with DRM-free games and a very engaged customer service team: It's certainly worth it to support them! I still believe that the Creatures games have more dimensions than some newer games. Likely most visitors already have the games, but I always try to highlight these sales in case there is just one person who would like to try out something new at a very low price! Bottom line: Creatures is worth it.
The entire Creatures series is just $5.37 with this promotion… Hopefully that's enough to convince a couple of potential new players to take on some Norns, Grendels, and/or Ettins! I'm heavily biased in favor of these games, though, and I understand that they're not for everyone. Feel free to ask any questions about them: There's always room for more people to have fun with these seemingly "old" games. Those graphics have stood the test of time, and for a late 1990s game, Creatures 1 still seems like something that could have been released just now. Make sure to comment if you take advantage of this sale: It's always nice to meet new Creatures players or talk with current ones!

Baishya R et al, 2012: Management of nephrolithiasis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease - A single center experience
Baishya R, Dhawan DR, Kurien A, Ganpule A, Sabnis RB, Desai MR
Department of Urology, Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital, Nadiad, Gujarat, India
PURPOSE: To evaluate available options for the management of nephrolithiasis in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Case files of all the patients with ADPKD treated in our hospital in the last 18 years were evaluated. Their demographic details, clinical presentations, investigations, treatments, and outcomes were critically analyzed.
RESULTS: There were a total of 19 patients (23 renal units) with nephrolithiasis among 452 consecutive cases of ADPKD. Male-to-female ratio was 3.75:1. The mean age of the patients was 43.3 years (range 23 to 60 years). The most common presentations were pain and hematuria (27.7% each). Mean serum creatinine was 7.2 mg/ dl (range 0.8-18.1 mg/dl) at presentation. The mean stone size was 115 mm(2) (range 36 to 980 mm(2)). The majority of the stones were calyceal (n = 10). Ten renal units (nine patients) required intervention, while the rest were treated conservatively. Treatment offered included open nephrectomy for non-functioning infected kidney (n = 1), extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL, n = 3), ureterorenoscopy (URS, n = 3), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL, n = 3). All patients undergoing URS and PCNL had complete clearance, while those undergoing ESWL had a residual stone. Two failed ESWL patients required an auxiliary procedure (retrograde intrarenal surgery, RIRS) and the other was kept under observation. Mean follow-up after treatment was 4.2 years (one month to six years). None of the patients had major complications.
CONCLUSION: Careful selection of the endourological procedure can give good results in patients of ADPKD with nephrolithiasis.

"Being able to watch her grow up in this home, the both of us," Aleah says. "Being able to raise her somewhere comfortable and loving and just having a place called home."
By every measure, 2018 has been a watershed year for Aleah Kendrick. She turned 21. She gave birth to daughter Sa'rai Oliver. And, just six weeks ago she struck out on her own and became a first-time homeowner.


Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya was born on Monday September 25, 1916, (Ashwin Krishna Trayodashi, Samvat 1973) in the sacred region of Brij in the village of Nagla Chandraban in Mathura District. His full name was Deendayal Upadhyaya, but he was called Deena by the family. His mother Shrimati Rampyari was a religious-minded lady and his father, Shri Bhagwati Prasad, was Assistant Station Master at Jalesar. His great-grandfather, Pandit Hariram Upadhyaya was a well known astrologer.
An astrologer who studied his horoscope predicted that the boy would become a great scholar and thinker, a selfless worker, and a leading politician - but that he would not marry. After his birth, two years later, his mother Shrimati Rampyari gave birth to her second son, Shivdayal. He lost his father Shri Bhagwati Prasad when he was less than three years old and his mother before he was eight.
Two years after his mother, Shrimati Rampyari's death, her father Shri Chunnilal, who was bringing up her two sons to his village Gud Ki Mandhai, near Fatehpur Sikri in Agra District, as a legacy of his dead daughter, also passed away in September 1926. Deendayalji was in his tenth year at that time. He was thus bereft the love and affection of both his parents and his maternal grandfather. He started living with his maternal uncle. Deendayal's aunt was sensitive to the feelings of two brothers; she brought them up like her own children. She became a surrogate mother to the orphans.
The ten year old Deendayalji became a guardian for his younger brother at that tender age; he looked after him and took care of all his needs. When he was in the ninth class and in his eighteenth year, his younger brother Shivdayal contracted smallpox. Deendayalji tried his best to save Shivdayal's life by providing him all manner of treatment available at that time, but Shivdayal also died on Nov. 18, 1934. Deendayalji was thus left all alone in this world.
He later went to high school in Sikar. Maharaja of Sikar gave Pandit ji a gold medal, Rs. 250 for books and a monthly scholarship of Rs.10. Pandit ji passed his Intermediate exams with distinction in Pilani and left to Kanpur to pursue his B.A. and joined the Sanatan Dharma College. At the instance of his friend Shri. Balwant Mahashabde, he joined the RSS in 1937. In 1937 he received his B.A. in the first division. Pandit ji moved to Agra to pursue M.A.
Here he joined forces with Shri Nanaji Deshmukh and Shri Bhau Jugade for RSS activities. Around this time Rama Devi, a cousin of Deendayalji fell ill and she moved to Agra for treatment. She passed away. Deendayalji was very depressed and could not take the M.A. exams. His scholarships, received earlier from Maharajaj of Sikar and Shri. Birla were discontinued.

Ringling Brothers Elephant Walk Tomorow
'Elephant Walk in DC 3′
courtesy of 'gdudg'
If tomorrow afternoon you were to step onto a street in Penn Quarter, or down on 3rd Street in front of the Capitol, you might well see something a bit unique. The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus is parading their animals through town beginning at 2pm at South Capitol St and E Street, up past the Capitol and then ending up at the Verizon Center ahead of the four day run of "Funundrum" at the Phone Booth.
It's hard not to talk about circuses without also talking about the treatment of performing animals, and there are certainly reasons to be concerned for their welfare. Out of due diligence, I give you the Ringling Bros. Animal Treatment FAQ and PETA's allegations concerning the circus. You can make up your own mind.

Gah, I hate this parade.
Even if you don't care about the animals, this article should be enough to make you boycott circuses like this: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2001/08/30/circus
Misty on March 21, 2011 at 4:18 pm said:
PETA's allegations are all true. Two years ago there was a major federal trial against Ringling over its treatment of its elephants. Ringling owner Kenneth Feld and numerous employees of the circus admitted that they beat their elephants; chained them for most of the day and night; confined them on trains standing in their own waste for as long as 60 hours at a time; and took babies from their mothers years before they should be weaned.
You can read about the trial, including all of the transcripts, and view the exhibits at http://www.bornfreeusa.org/a1a6_ringling.php
Tom Bridge on March 21, 2011 at 4:21 pm said:
Misty, that case was dismissed:
"Furthermore, the Court ruled that "based upon his failure to complain, the Court finds that Mr. Rider either (1) did not witness elephant mistreatment when he was employed by FEI or (2) any mistreatment he did witness did not affect him to the extent that he suffered an aesthetic or emotional injury." "
Marsea on March 21, 2011 at 4:59 pm said:
So glad you brought up the treatment of animals when talking about this event. I can't imagine how anyone can deny the cruelty of the circus.
Janie M on March 21, 2011 at 5:46 pm said:
In that federal trail the case was indeed dismissed in favor of Ringling Bros/Feld Entertainment, for lack of legal standing, not because they proved they don't abuse their elephants, that evidence was quashed. But you can still read those trial testimony and evidence presented and you will have no doubts these elephants live an inhumane life to entertain the circus's audience at a huge profit. The manager of Ringling's CEC facility testified that they have never videotaped an elephant training session because it would be hard to explain in the modern world.
LaSaunte on March 22, 2011 at 7:47 am said:
I would be all for protesting this walk but it's probably the only chance these animals will get to step outside their inhumane living spaces until it's time for their next beating, er, I mean "training". And who knows, maybe the elephants actually enjoy having witnesses, er, spectators, because they know when there's a crowd full of small humans, the whips and electrical prods are curiously absent from their usually painful and frightening routine.

This factual and educational video documentary just came out on You Tube showing the birth of the circus in the United States. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRq7_dfquds&feature=related Ringling won't show you this at their preshow events
Lynn on March 22, 2011 at 9:23 am said:
Torturing animals so families can have a night of fun and laughs is despicable. All visitors should be ashamed to bring their children to these events. It teaches children nothing except to ignore the hidden pain of these animals.
Baby elephants are riped and permanently seperated from their mothers at birth and chained to walls, their wills are broken and they spend a lifetime forced to do tricks in isolation. We should be beyond this cruelty but for the fact that circus-goers choose to remain in the dark and continue to keep Ringling Brothers torture act in business.
See the horrific images of Ringling Brothers cruelty at: http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-in-entertainment/circuses.aspx
Then choose spent family night doing something more humane.
Kathryn on March 22, 2011 at 2:50 pm said:
The lawsuit brought by the Animal Welfare Institute against Ringling Brothers was dismissed due to "lack of standing". In other words, the judge declaired that it was not the correct jurisdiction for the suit but did not hear any evidence regarding the allegations of cruelty. Another fantastic source for information about elephants, this time African elephants, is The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (www.dswt.org). They are the subject of the new IMAX 3D movie which premieres in LA on the 2nd of April and in DC on the 4th at the American Museum of Natural History. The Diane Rehm Show will also broadcast a live interview with Founder Dame Dr. Daphne Sheldrick on April 5th.
I failed to mention that the name of the IMAX movie is "Born To Be Wild" and also includes the incredible work of Leakey "Angel" Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, celebrated primatologist and founder of Orangutan Foundation International (OFI). Please take your children to see the 40 minute documentary if you have an IMAX in your area.

The prehistoric, radioactive behemoth Gamera is here. The first film GAMERA - THE GIANT MONSTER, plus GAMERA VS. BARUGON, GAMERA VS. GYAOS, and GAMERA VS. VIRAS. These are the original, longer Japanese versions. In Japanese with English subtitles.


In Hamlet, Shakespeare called Kronborg Castle Elsinore, which has now become the English name for Helsingør – in any case, there is no mystery as to why UNESCO added the castle onto its World Heritage list in 2000! Just one hour north of Copenhagen, the town is a lovely fusion of historic and modern, maritime and urban. The 800-year old town centre with its ancient cobbled streets and traditional bourgeois houses are just picture perfect, while the recent 175-million euro renovation of the waterfront has seen it become the home of "The Culture Yard" and the Danish Maritime Museum, designed by the visionary architect Bjarke Ingles. For those of you who simply don't want to let the grass grown under their feet, Helsingor is connected to the similarly named Helsingborg in Sweden, just a short 20-minute ferry ride across the harbour.

Weekend Plans Post: Entering Fall
by Jaybird · September 27, 2019
So the first thing I did when talking about "Seasons Change" was remember Exposé -- Seasons Change which, lemme tell ya, the radio played for, like, two months solid. And that made me remember when they were on Club MTV and did their hit "What you don't know" which I primarily remembered due to Gioia Bruno removing her jacket at the end of the song but, secondarily, to me remembering that, Jeez Louise, every single artist that they had on Club MTV was lip synching the song and so when Milli Vanilli had their lip synch "scandal", I found myself wondering "how in the world did you guys not know that they were lip synching"?
Heck, "Downtown" Julie Brown pointed out that, hey, most of the artists who performed there used a "guide track" because they were dancing and couldn't afford to risk being out of breath. So, yeah, they lip synched.
Milli Vanilli Carefree Sugarless Gum Commercial 1991
Anyway, summer is pretty much autumn now. I find myself wishing that I had a light jacket when I go to work instead of wishing that I had worn a shirt with short sleeves. It's not QUITE yet time to put the bedroom A/C room unit away for the season, but it's getting close (maybe next weekend, maybe the one after). When friends say "hey, can you bring dessert over?", I'm likely to bring stuff that I have to cook in the oven before serving than some ice cream variant.
I've also heard rumors of trees outside having leaves change colors. Maybe I'll check that too (maybe next weekend, maybe the one after).
As for THIS weekend, it's one where we're going to have to do the Costco thing again. Sure, we had an Epic Trip where we couldn't have fit one more item in the trunk or back seat… but when that's followed by a week or two of not going, then it turns into needing some steaks, needing some paper towels, needing some of those little rolls of salami and mozzarella cheese. We're also going to the PetSmart to get a couple hundred pounds of litter to change out every box in the house, and going to King Soopers to get The Usual Staples.
And Saturday Night is game night (and enough people have cancelled that we're going to be playing a four-player game that we've never played before: Alien Artifacts. So I'm looking forward to that. And then, Sunday, we wrap up the weekend up and finish up the stuff we gotta do around the house: make breakfasts/lunches for the coming week, garbage, recycling, the usual. And then, after that… well. It'll be Monday. Now I'm depressed.
So… what's on your docket?

Looking at the video, its amazing how much of the 1980s aesthetics seemed to last until Bill Clinton got elected in 1992, when the true 90s began. This just wasn't because of the political break and change. A lot of the feel of the culture changed because of shifts in music like the rise in grunge or even 16 bit video games causing the consumer tech to feel more advanced. The Bush I years might have just been seen as an extension of the 80s.
Expose seems to be a popular group from the period that I have no memory of. I do remember the Milli Vanilli scandal despite being only 11 at the time. I was vaguely aware of who Madonna and other big acts were as an elementary school and middle school kid but never heard of this group until today. Its kind of odd how you can be aware of some big things but not other big things from your childhood. Thanks to VHI, I thought the Cars were something of a novelty act with one hit, You Might Think. I recently learned they were a lot bigger than that.Report
DensityDuck in reply to LeeEsq
Considering that Bush I was Reagan's VP and pretty much just continued his policies, "the eighties lasted until 1992" isn't far off.Report
LeeEsq in reply to DensityDuck
I'm talking about the entire zeitgeist rather than mere politics. For some reason when you look back at old media there seems to be an abrupt change in the style of everything between 1979 and 1980. I guess by 1985 or 1986 we reach the High Eighties style, which seems to have culturally lasted until 1992 and then another abrupt change in the zeitgeist occurs with the election of Bush I ending it.Report
Chip Daniels in reply to LeeEsq
In 1986, I think it was in September, I attended a party wearing a white linen blazer over a turquoise tee shirt, with the sleeves pushed up to the elbows.
I think most historians now agree it was at that precise moment when High Eighties style peaked and began its own self parody.Report

I had a coworker who told me "I voted for Reagan three times, only got him twice", referring to Bush I.

I don't remember Expose either, but than again, in 1992, I was in grad school (yes I am Old) and had concerns that seemed more urgent to me than "what's on MTV?"
Also, I was always that weird kid who liked other-than-what-was-popular music. (I do remember watching "The Real World" on MTV, but I think that was a few years later? And I mostly hate-watched it because man, some of those people were annoying).
I remember Milli Vanilli though.
This weekend I am taking as much time OFF as I can. Last weekend was largely working (grading, and then Sunday was getting help removing a large branch that fell on my roof, and cutting up for hauling-off another large branch that came down – we had torrential rain Friday afternoon).
It's still hellaciously hot here, and will be for at least another week, so it doesn't seem like fall at all.
This has been an absolute crap past two months with far, far too many bad things happening in my life. This week has mostly been a "resolution week" – got the IRS problem sorted (Jackson-Hewett screwed up a past tax return of mine badly and I had to hire a CPA), had grief counseling, got the branch taken care of, got the busted GFCI outlet (which also took down the other things on that breaker, namely my dishwasher and in-sink disposal) fixed.
But MAN am I fried. I also wrote two exams for upcoming weeks, graded two (including a stats one which is as tough to grade as you might imagine) and pretty much got done what I needed to get done.
So I am taking as much time off as I can this weekend.Report
Jaybird in reply to fillyjonk
The funniest thing about Milli Vanilli was that they sold approximately one jillion records before the scandal came out, then they had the lip synch thing, then the record company said "we will refund people who want to return the album" and then PEOPLE RETURNED THE ALBUM.
It still had exactly the same songs, mind. It was still catchy as heck, as we said back then. But we found out that the guys who sang the songs were not twentyish and wearing bicycle pants but fiftyish and wearing khakis. "Relaxed fit" khakis. So back to the company it went.
It is good to have accomplished so much! Cocoon and recover!Report
Marchmaine
I thought the Milli Vanilli scandal was that they weren't lip synching *their* vocals, but someone else's. Of course everyone else was lip synching in "live" routines… but they were faking their own previously recorded voices. Or am I mis-remembering?
The 80s live! Atomic Blond was on cable last night, and I kept it on in the background just for the New Order and Depeche Mode soundtrack. They sure smoked a lot in that movie… even more than I remember for 1989… especially for the youthful protagonists.
Funny, I don't remember Expose at all, but by 1987 I think I had checked-out of MTV and watching the youtube you posted, I remember why. Strikes me as peak 80s sound without any hint of talent or originality… pure marketing. But yes, definitely feels late 80s pop (vs. early 80s alternative).
This weekend we're pulled in a lot of directions with kids' activities… I have a bunch of fall projects in the forest that I look forward to. Once I get the chainsaw repaired (thanks youtube). I have to say that youtube videos are the MacGyver of the 2010s… I've done things to my tractor and other mechanical things that would have been impossible 10-yrs ago. Well, not impossible, but unthinkable.Report
fillyjonk in reply to Marchmaine
I do not think you are misremembering; what I remember of L'Affaire Milli Vanilli was that the scandal was it was studio musicians and not the actual guys out on stage doing the singing. Though given Autotune and some of the other stuff that's happened (e.g., the rise of Hatsune Miko), I suspect today people would barely blink at a Milli Vanilli.Report
LeeEsq in reply to fillyjonk
Counter-culture ideas about authenticity were still rather strong in the early 1990s. Manufactured bands like New Kids on the Block weren't exactly respected even if they were popular. Most Americans expected some modicum of musical ability from their artists so Milli Vanilli could have been just too much. I think the popularity of anime and J-Pop, because Japan abs other East Asian countries never really had an authenticity cult in music, helped Americans and other Westerners grow more comfortable with things like Hatsune Miku and auto tune.Report
Jaybird in reply to Marchmaine
No, you're remembering correctly. I guess I just see the whole thing as absurd to the point where I don't see the difference between "they're not *REALLY* singing" and "*THEY*'re not really singing".
It was a little over a decade after the Milli Vanilli scandal that the self-titled debut of the Gorillaz had animated musicians/singers and sold approximately one jillion albums.Report
Marchmaine in reply to Jaybird
Well, that makes sense through this lens:
Boomers: Crisis of Daddy issues brought on by distant WW2 fathers
GenX: Crisis of Abandonment brought on by Boomer Divorce.
Milennials: Crisis of Authenticity brought on by GenX Milli Vanilli
That's not politics, that's pure scientific fact; i read it in a study somewhere.Report
Aaron David
Back in '92, I had moved beyond the MTV (we didn't have any sort of cable, or possibly a tv in the bachelor students house/dump I lived in) so I had no idea about Expose and only knew about Milli-Vanilli tangentially. I did, however, see a Stranglers video on the Yu-tube recently where they were obviously lip-synching, probably as a contract thing for the show, and they made great fun of it. The drummer pivoting away from the kit and banging away at the air, that sort of thing. Great fun.
Anyway, its been raining off and on here, so I have been painting between the raindrops. So, if the weather seems to hold, I will be painting the trim on the north side of the house, if not, I will be putting a flyer together for my next business project.

Heh, but the keyboards were totally legit.
Is it a sign of the times that it makes me nostalgic for good ole Trotsky fetishes?Report
Jaybird in reply to Aaron David
Johnny Rotten created a scene on American Bandstand when he was told that, no, he *WOULD* be lip synching and so he just pulled people out of the audience and had them dance around him as he lip synched poorly.Report
Going to see this band tonight with a friend. A few months back, he sent me a link to this video and followed that up with a message telling me that they were playing in Denver soon. My response was something like, "I feel like we HAVE to go see them."

Huh, just realized I had never seen the video to that expose song. Geez, hard to think that was 30 some years ago. Usually that was radio background music, and more often than not a ratchet was singing along with a zeeenk, zeeenk, zeeeenk, as I was taking something apart, or putting it back together.
Planted a lot of Spinach trees last weekend. It's a pretty simple process of just clipping a branch off a existing overgrown tree, stab a shovel in the ground where you want to plant, and push the branch down in the shovel cut. Water for a couple of weeks, and they just take off on their own. Pretty hardy in drought conditions after they are established. Horses trampled one of them, so probably re-plant and put a tomato cage around that one location.
Did the same technique for six pillar cactus, although the base is wider, so they need a little wider excavation. One of our orange trees is just chocked full of fat oranges, still green but I suppose they will be ripening some time between now and January. It appears the cumquats cross pollinated with the oranges, as they are way bigger than usual.
I noticed this was the first morning it felt cool. There wasn't a thick haze of humidity hanging in the air, and last night the A/C unit only yielded 4 gallons.
Aims decided she wanted to do some fishing, so the last few weeks she's been hauling home her morning catch and collecting enough for a good fish fry. Have a suspicion that one of these weekends there will be a sizeable group of her friends on the back porch eating fried catfish.
In the never ending pursuit of accuracy, I looked for a longish rifle round that would fit a black powder .44. Found a mauser bullet mold from Lyman that looked like it would work. A 43 Mauser round measuring .446, which is the exact diameter I was looking for. After casting a few I measured it and the base does measure the .446 but at the front it measures several thousands less. I tested a few, and the groupings weren't at all acceptable. Probably getting some front wobble there.
So I waxed one up and pushed it through the riflings of the barrel, and noticed that the riflings engage at the base and only halfway to the front. It needed only a few thousands removed from the mold, So I turned a cast bullet around and used the base as a lapping surface for the front of the cavity. A little 600 grit lapping compound and a lot of work, and the mold is producing pretty close to .446 along the length. With any luck, will cast a few and see how they group this weekend.Report
Jaybird in reply to JoeSal
Good luck with the grouping. I understand what you're saying when I force my brain into engineer mode and extrapolate out from what my gun nut buddies talk about when I'm in the room but, when I slip back into "Bachelor of the Arts" mode, I'm back to "huddawha?"Report

Christian Citizens: Reading the Bible in Black and White in the Postemancipation South
Elizabeth L. Jemison
The University of North Carolina Press
With emancipation, a long battle for equal citizenship began. Bringing together the histories of religion, race, and the South, Elizabeth L. Jemison shows how southerners, black and white, drew on biblical narratives as the basis for very different political imaginaries during and after Reconstruction. Focusing on everyday Protestants in the Mississippi River Valley, Jemison scours their biblical thinking and religious attitudes toward race. She argues that the evangelical groups that dominated this portion of the South shaped contesting visions of black and white rights.
Black evangelicals saw the argument for their identities as Christians and as fully endowed citizens supported by their readings of both the Bible and U.S. law. The Bible, as they saw it, prohibited racial hierarchy, and Amendments 13, 14, and 15 advanced equal rights. Countering this, white evangelicals continued to emphasize a hierarchical paternalistic order that, shorn of earlier justifications for placing whites in charge of blacks, now fell into the defense of an increasingly violent white supremacist social order. They defined aspects of Christian identity so as to suppress black equality–even praying, as Jemison documents, for wisdom in how to deny voting rights to blacks. This religious culture has played into remarkably long-lasting patterns of inequality and segregation.

Garrett's new pulse induction ATX metal detector is the ultimate multi-frequency detector for all terrains and extreme conditions (highly mineralized ground, saltwater, etc.). It features advanced pulse induction technology, a durable design that meets military specifications, and an advanced 20 inch Deepseeker searchcoil is ideal for use in searching for caches and other deeply buried large objects. The ATX is waterproof to 10 feet, and ground balances to saltwater without requiring a special mode or use of discrimination! The ATX detector is highly recommended for Gold Prospecting, Deeply Buried Cache Hunting, Relic Hunting, Dry Beach/Fresh Water Hunting, and Surf Hunting. Is also good for Jewelry Hunting, Coin Hunting and Ghost Town Hunting.
Download the field test review here (.pdf) that appeared in the Nov/Dec 2014 issue of Gold Prospectors Magazine.
PI (pulse induction) detectors work a bit differently than the more common VLF (very low frequency) detectors by putting magnetic field energy into the ground and then switching off and waiting a short period before they start to look for a response. This makes them better at handling ground mineralization than a VLF detector because during that short delay the magnetic response of iron trash minerals that you don't want to find dies out. VLF detectors do not as easily cancel out ground mineralization the way a PI metal detector can do. The most popular use for a PI machine is detecting on the beach. Saltwater in sand gives many machines real problems with stability. The ATX performs well, and is stable in challenging conditions. The Garrett ATX is an impressive machine, extremely well built. It folds down to easily fit in a backpack.

My first year as Most Wise Master of the Chapter of Rose Croix has been very rewarding. In May of last year, fifteen officers were installed, which included three elected officers and twelve appointed officers. As is customary in the Fraternity, all officers were marshalled and installed before the Three Great Lights of Freemasonry on the Altar. And all officers swore full allegiance and fealty to the Supreme Council in the presence of the Grand Architect of the Universe.
The Chapter of Rose Croix administers the 17° and 18° which are called the 'Philosophical Degrees.' They are universal in their philosophy within a monotheistic framework, but with no sectarian basis. According to Masonic scholars, 'Rose Cross,' from which 'Rose Croix' derives its name, represents 'dawn of eternal life' and 'resurrection or renewal of life.' The Most Wise Master's jewel demonstrates the pinnacle of the Chapter of Rose Croix and is composed of a circle which encloses a compass with crown, 'Rose Cross,' and 'pelican feeding its young with its own blood' underneath. The letters 'INRI' are also at the bottom of the jewel, which in Latin means 'Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum' or 'Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.' The symbology of this jewel means that within the Chapter of Rose Croix, Freemasons are crowned and knighted with lessons taught of self-sacrifice and immortality through the resurrection of the spirit. This was exemplified by officers of our Chapter and members of the Scottish Rite in the 18° last Fall Reunion.
This past Spring Reunion, the Chapter of Rose Croix officers and other members of the Valley of Chicago performed the 17°. The 17° presented the conflicts of King Herod the Great, as he dealt with his family and kingdom. Some of the events in this degree are historically accurate as they depicted the renovation of the Second Temple erected by Zerubbabel. The 'Book of Life,' which was a record of the actions of all mankind since the beginning of recorded history, was sealed in the 17° and opened in the 18° after the revelation of 'The Lost Word.'
This past April, Chapter of Rose Croix officers participated in their respective positions in the Feast of the Paschal Lamb Ceremony. The Chapter observed this symbolic celebration as a memorial service, honoring our Brothers who have passed away this past year. This feast is mystical and symbolic in nature as it demonstrated our belief in our Brethren's spiritual existence beyond their earthly bodies. They are now liberated to be back with the Creator.
Stepping away from being Most Wise Master, I have also been serving as Museum and Library Committee Chairman for the last 4 years. It has been great to see how volunteers, part-time and full-time staff, and I have endeavored to create museum and library displays at the Reunions and year-round that bring more Masonic Light to the Valley of Chicago. Carl Peterson, 32° and John Marquardt, 32°, MSA are two of the museum and library volunteers who have helped make this a reality. Our new part-time Museum Director, Amanda Wolf, who started the position last Fall has been instrumental in moving our Valley forward with implementing policies and procedures which will facilitate us being better custodians of our Masonic heritage. As Museum and Library Chairman, I would also like to thank Commander-in-Chief Lance Welter, 32°, VA, MSA who served in a leadership capacity during change in the Scottish Rite Office, Debbie Pasiewicz, Executive Administrative Assistant, and Dave Koss, 32° who have supported our mission and vision. One of biggest steps towards this realization is our Intervalley Collaboration between the Valleys of Chicago and Milwaukee, where we will be working in the upcoming years to make this region a preeminent hub for the preservation of Masonic history.
Brothers in this divisive time, we should remain believers in the 'universality' of Freemasonry as put forth in the 18°. When I speak of 'universality' this is the belief in one God, where in our Fraternity we fellowship with Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and those of other monotheistic faiths. In the presentation of many of our degrees, initiates of many religions stand before the Holy Bible displayed upon the Altars of the Bodies of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. However, our Fraternity allows all initiates to take their obligations upon that Book which is to them The Volume of Sacred Law. Let us remember that the new Law of Love is practiced in the heart of men of every race and creed, where the Grand Architect of the Universe is worshiped in spirit and in truth.
So Mote It Be.

Slippery wet leaves and careless driving caused several accidents on a section of state Route 222 known as 5-Mile House Hill in Cumru Township, Berks County, Friday night, police said.
A Berks County dispatcher supervisor said there were six accidents within a two-hour period, beginning at 4:30 p.m. State police finally closed the road to clear wreckage and prevent further accidents. The last accident was reported at 7:16 p.m., the dispatcher said.
Cumru Township police officer Paul Miller said there were no injuries in any of the accidents. Police closed the section of the road to clear wreckage and prevent further accidents, Miller said.


I did say on an earlier post that I would give you an update on my Month of Letters progress and so here it is. The short version is that I am still keeping going and I think I can safely say I am on track to complete the month. If you want a bit more detail than that, do read on And if you want to look at one of my previous Month of Letters post try here or here. You might want to give it a try yourself next year!
As I have done before I jotted down a list of possible recipients before starting, beginning with family and friends back in the UK. I have begun to see Month of Letters as a wakeup call where I have become slack in keeping in touch with old friends. I then add all of my Ireland based friends, most of whom are in Dublin. I suppose really I end up re-writing my Christmas card list in February (maybe next Christmas I should simply file it away for February instead of putting it in the recycling bin).
My intention to do something really imaginative in the mail line this year has not actually transpired. In fact, I am being a very thrifty correspondent and operating a 'using up' system, which I am aware may sound rather heartless. However, it is all in an environmentally aware kind of a way really. I have collected up so many postcards over the years that to either dump them or buy yet more would be foolish. And anyway, I do have some nice cards to bestow. This year I have been using up my Penguin book jackets, Spike Milligan cartoons and some Chagall cards from The Tate Gallery. I have also indulged my passion for free stuff, acquiring book marks, postcards and tourist information cards to enclose with a note for my international recipients.
The one big difference for me in doing Month of Letters this year is that I no longer have my dad's birthday to mark, as he died in June 2016. I also used to squeeze in my parent's anniversary card at the end of the month since it fell at the beginning of March, so that has now gone. I gave the challenge a break last year for these reasons, but decided to return afresh this year and try to include as many people as possible who mattered to me. It's never too late to make an effort somewhat greater than clicking on a Facebook 'like' button for a change. I will say no more for fear of sounding mawkish but you see what I mean.
days to go so I might have to double up a bit more to fit in the waifs and strays. I have been writing to my mum more often these days and also sending mail to our daughter who is studying away so I already have been doubling most days. This year I have included some new faces, as I have despatched postcards to new correspondents gained from the Month of Letters membership. This has broadened my range to Canada, Scotland and Northumberland (and I haven't quite finished). I have added in here pictures of some cards that I have received in return, but the nice thing is that I usually find that replies trickle through into March, which makes February into a nice long month really.
And now I am off to pen my last few postcards of the month!
I have written about tackling the February 'Month of Letters' challenge before on The Landing and on Writing.ie, so I thought that I would give you a progress report on my 2015 attempt. As usual, I began writing enthusiastically, but this time around, I entered a sort of sluggish phase part way into the month. The original rules of the challenge state that you don't have to post on Sundays (nor, as the challenge was set by an American writer, on February 16 for President's Day). On my first couple of attempts, I was enthusiastic enough to include Sundays (despite there being no mail collection on Sunday in Ireland) but this year I have observed the breaks and I feel slightly lazy for having done so. As I ignore the US Public Holiday, that means posting twenty-four items during February.
Missing the Sunday letter meant that I despatched my first mailing on 2 February – so far so good. I began the month with a list of possible suspects (in no particular order) and worked from that as the days went on. Originally I had conceived the idea of putting names of possible recipients into a hat and drawing one each day. I thought this would be great way to add a nice element of serendipity to the proceedings. Sadly, it was not to be due to my unfortunate inefficiency. Therefore, I am still working from the list but trying to maintain an air of randomness by not following the list in order. The down side to this is that I have noticed a distressing tendency to do the 'soft options' first. In other words, the people I see the most often and to whom I therefore wouldn't send a long letter, but perhaps only a postcard or note.
Of course I worry that someone will think, 'Hang on a minute, how come I am not getting a letter until the 23rd? Does this mean that I'm not as important as 22 other people?' or words to that effect. Maybe I just worry too much. After all, as I write this blog post I am aware that I have yet to post a letter to one of my sisters but I don't think she's likely to take offence at that (I hope). Some folks do actually end up getting more than one billet doux as the challenge rules stipulate that you must reply to every letter received. If you really get into the spirit and rhythm of the challenge then there is no reason to post only one item a day. I could post two, three or even more.
As February moves on to meet the March lamb (or lion) I am feeling pleased that I have kept my pen diligently moving. I might even have a last minute flurry of scribbling to squeeze in a few extra people. As usual, I have factored in my dad's birthday and my parent's anniversary. I was probing my conscience as to whether I can claim dad's birthday present as an item posted when I have already counted his card in. It seems rather sharp practice to me, so I might have to reprimand myself. As in previous years, I have been delighted when my recipients have responded in kind. I have scanned in a couple of replies, including Teri Farrell's postcard with her original artwork. One to frame I think.
I am already thinking about how to make next year's challenge a little bit different from previous years. The author of the challenge Mary Robinette Kowal suggests that you don't have to actually send a letter, but something else such as a swatch of fabric as a keepsake. I like that idea, so perhaps I will collect miscellaneous items during the year and then decide whom to send them to next February. And as next year will be a leap year then it would be a great way to do something a little different.
Meanwhile, it's back to the letter writing for 2015. Has anyone else been participating in Month of Letters?
Today's bag focussed on the three to be found at Malahide Castle (but I am not saying exactly where, or which ones they are so as not to spoil anyone's fun) which made for a pleasant Sunday morning excursion. Before heading to Pearse Station to get the DART, we decided to tick off the last of the Southside city centre Easter eggs. We were only missing the egg on display in the Merrion Hotel. (Now, this is going to be a bit of a spoiler so look away now if you prefer). As we approached the hotel, I was rather hoping to spot the egg on a plinth outside the building. It was not alas, to be. I had visions of us trawling around the interior of this smart hotel on a rather 'egg-centric' search while brandishing our booklet and pen to the alarm of respectable hotel residents enjoying a late breakfast.
I confess here and now that I did ask the trio of door attendants standing chatting outside, about the exact location of the egg. They said that it was inside the premises (they did specify the location but my lips are sealed) and pointed in the general direction. At the hotel desk, I asked staff for more specific details, and one receptionist very kindly showed us to the egg. I will just say that we might not have located it otherwise, without wandering for quite a while through lounges and corridors. By the time the hunt is over, the amiable staff of the Merrion Hotel might be a little tired of random people wandering in off the street waving maps at them. Perhaps some of the hunters may stay on to have tea afterwards and make it worthwhile for the hotel staff. Could this have been the cunning plan all along?
I will let you know if and when we reach our goal of making a century of eggs. Meanwhile, I am almost at the end of my February letter and postcard writing stint which I have greatly enjoyed. In my next post I will give a progress report on both of those challenges.
The trouble is, I just can't stop thinking about chocolate Easter eggs. On with The Big Easter Egg Hunt!

Nixon in China (Adams) - Part 1 of 17
Houston Grand Opera, 1987 Music by John Adams Libretto by Alice Goodman Directed by Peter Sellars Choreographed by Mark Morris Conducted by John DeMain Introduced by Walter Cronkite Richard Nixon.......James Maddalena Pat Nixon......................Carolann Page Chou En-lai....................Sanford Slvan Mao Tse-tung.................John Duykers Henry Kissinger....Thomas Hammons Chiang Ch'ing......Trudy Ellen Craney Mao's Secretaries...............Mari Opatz Stephanie Friedman Marion Dry Act One The opera begins at Beijing Airport. A detachment of Chinese troops marches on to the stage and sings a 1930s Red Army song, The Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points of Attention. As the soldiers wait, an airplane taxis and lands on the stage - the Nixons and Henry Kissinger disembark and are greeted by Chou Enlai. As Nixon is introduced to various Chinese officials by Chou, he sings of his hopes and fears for his historic visit. Later, Richard Nixon and Kissinger visit Mao's study along with Chou. While Nixon attempts to set out his stall with a simple and simplistic vision of peace between America and China, Mao wishes to discuss philosophy with Nixon and speaks in riddles. The visit is not entirely a success, and the elderly Mao is soon worn out. Chou departs with Nixon and Kissinger. On the first night of the visit, a great feast for the American delegation is held in the Great Hall of the People. The Nixons and Chou gradually relax in one another's company as good food and strong drink takes its effect. Chou rises to make a toast to the American delegation, full of fulsome praise and wishes for peaceful co-existence. Nixon responds in kind, congratulating the Chinese for their hospitality and recanting his previous opposition to China. The party continues with mutual compliments and toasting. Act Two Pat Nixon is being escorted to various showcases of contemporary Chinese life - a glass factory, a health centre, pig farm and a primary school. However, the language of Pat's Chinese guides is stilted and formal - they hint darkly of the repressive side of Chinese life that lies underneath the façade shown to foreign dignitaries. Pat sings an aria of her own hopes for the future, a peaceful future of modesty and good neighbourliness, a future based on the values of the American heartland. Later that night, the Nixons attend the Chinese opera, to see a piece written by Madam Mao called The Red Detachment of Women. The piece is a simplistic display of politicised music-theater, with the oppressed peasants of a tropical island saved from their brutal landlord by heroic women of the Red Army. However, somehow the main characters are drawn into the opera, each revealing their true nature, with Pat Nixon defending the weak, Kissinger siding with the brutal landlord and Madam Mao's desire to save the peasants at all costs leading her to become more brutal than the landlord was in the first place. Eventually, a riot develops on stage with Chou and Madam Mao on opposite sides - the opera has become a rerun of the Cultural Revolution. Act Three On the Americans' final night in Beijing, it has become apparent to all that there will be no great breakthrough the Shanghai Communique is no more than words, a face-saving formula for the world's press to buy into. The main characters look back over their lives the Maos and the Nixons look back to the struggles of their early years together, Richard Nixon recalls his younger days as a sailor. Only Chou looks deeper, asking "how much of what we did was good?", before casting doubts aside and wearily carrying on with his work.

When marketers were surveyed in this latest eMarketer article, over 78% said that they would increase spending during the next three years on social media tactics. More marketers are planning to increase social media budgets than direct e-mail and mobile texting, which were the other two mobile marketing tactics included in the survey.
As social ad spending is expected to grow from $1.4 billion this year to an estimated $2.4 billion in 2011, the focus will ultimately shift away from direct e-mail. Even though e-mail will not go away anytime soon, it only offers a 2-way communication. Social media is a breeding ground for recommendations to products, referrals to services, and it allows marketers to truly target niche groups. Businesses are beginning to truly embrace the power of communities.
