Central banks have a history of manipulating the gold price. Gold is an inflation barometer and an indicator of the strength of fiat currencies, and it influences interest rates and bond prices. Central banks hold large quantities of gold as a store of value and as financial insurance, because they understand its value and power within the international monetary system. The Bank for InternationalSettlements (BIS) frequently manipulates the gold price, and guides gold price suppression plans.
The most influential changes in the gold market were the introduction of unallocated accounts and fractionally backed gold holdings in the London gold market from the 1980s onwards, and the introduction of gold futures trading in the US in January 1975. This channels gold demand away from physical and into paper.
In unallocated gold trading, trades are cash-settled and there is rarely any physical delivery; thus unallocated bullion does not drive demand for physical gold. Trading positions are claims against bullion banks, which do not hold enough gold to back up the claims. In January 1975, gold futures were launched in the US to create an alternative to the physical market that would siphon off demand for gold. They are fractionally backed and mostly cash-settled, and their trading volumes are multiples of delivery volumes. This undermines the demand for physical gold, and allows the gold price to be formed in synthetic gold trading venues.
The gold lending market is another area in which central banks have the ability to cap the gold price. By supplying gold through loans and swaps, central banks disrupt the existing supply/demand balance, and this has a depressing effect on the gold price.
Central banks also sell gold covertly. The effect of these sales usually has a negative impact on the gold price, and is another tactic that central banks use to keep pressure on the price.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan testified before Congress that "central banks stand ready to lease gold in increasing quantities should the price rise."If central banks outlawed fractional gold trading, gold market participants would panic and unwind their paper positions, causing a disconnect between paper gold and physical gold markets.

Originally written in July of 2015 for publication in Midlothian NOW Magazine.
Approximately 500,000 tonsillectomies are performed in the US each year. And while the number of these procedures has dropped significantly in the last 30 years, it still remains the second most common childhood surgery. But not for the same reasons you, or perhaps your parents, had the procedure. Rather, 80% of tonsillectomies are now performed to open a child's airway, while chronic tonsillitis only makes up 20%.
What do tonsils have to do with a child's airway, and why do we need to open them up? When a child has chronically enlarged tonsils, they can partially (or completely) obstruct a child's airway when the child is asleep. Just as excess weight or a very large tongue can cause obstructive sleep apnea in an adult, large tonsils can cause sleep apnea in a child. Sleep apnea can cause a host of medical complications in a child's developing body, including ADD/ADHD, poor performance in school, and bedwetting well past potty training.
Whether or not a child with enlarged tonsils has true sleep apnea, they will very likely develop into mouth-breathers at night, and sometimes during the day as well. Mouth-breathers are likely still not getting adequate oxygen to their brains, preventing them from performing their best at school. Also, because their air is not properly filtered through their noses, they are more likely to have seasonal allergies and frequent colds.
In addition, when a child's mouth is chronically open, it can drastically affect the development of their mouth, face and jaw. The most visible changes could be dark circles under the eyes, as well as a recessive chin and an elongated lower face, as the jaw will grown downward more than outward. The roof of their mouth will develop more narrowly, furthering their likelihood of sleep apnea. It may become difficult for them to close their lips when their teeth are together.
When their mouths are open at night, saliva flow will decrease, and bacteria have longer to flourish. These children will often build up heavy plaque on their front teeth, and they are more likely to develop cavities.
If you see some of these signs and symptoms in your child, or notice that they have very large tonsils for a long period of time, talk to your child's dentist or pediatrician to determine if they should see an otolaryngologist.

Campus Planning and Development
Does the institution advocate for public policies that support campus sustainability or that otherwise advance sustainability at the municipal/local level?:
A brief description of how the institution engages in public policy advocacy for sustainability at the municipal/local level, including the issues, legislation, and ordinances for or against which the institution has advocated:
The campus planning and development staff work with local partners and regional jurisdictions through the Fort Ord Reuse Authority. The campus has advocated for Regional Urban Development Guidelines that promote shared design guidelines to support sustainability include water conservation, building density and massing, etc.
Does the institution advocate for public policies that support campus sustainability or that otherwise advance sustainability at the state/provincial/regional level?:
A brief description of how the institution engages in public policy advocacy for sustainability at the state/provincial/regional level, including the issues, legislation, and ordinances for or against which the institution has advocated:
The CSU does engage in advocacy at the state level through our Advocacy and State Relations (ASR) team, and some of these efforts are for sustainability-related legislation.
In terms of state advocacy, the best example I can think of is our advocacy efforts on securing environmental research funding in the cap and trade funds that became available in CA this summer. We wrote letters, met with legislative staff, and testified at budget subcommittee hearings in order to express our support for strong research funding for projects related to climate change. Please note – we also used this opportunity to ensure that CSU would have a chance to apply for the research funds (and that they wouldn't all go to UC) - but in that process we urged a strong action for research funds. The final outcome was $11 million "to be used to fund research on reducing carbon emissions, including clean energy, adaptation, and resiliency, with an emphasis on California." This language was included in Section 2 of AB 109 of 2017.
Every year, the CSU tracks each bill before the state assembly or senate, and chooses to take an official position on most legislation that would affect the CSU. The ASR team refers any pending bills that are deemed to likely affect the CSU's operation to the appropriate department at the Chancellor's Office to review and recommend a position. Any sustainability-related legislation that would directly affect us is referred to the Energy & Sustainability Unit (along with any other relevant departments), and we provide an analysis and recommendation that ASR uses to determine the CSU's official position on the bill. The level of advocacy involved will be different for each bill, and can range from an official statement of support or opposition to meetings with legislators to testifying in subcommittee hearings as described above.
ASR staff couldn't think of any other sustainability-related legislation they'd supported, though I think this is really because they aren't very familiar with what would qualify under STARS criteria. I know, for instance, that we did officially support the student transit pass bill (AB 17, previously AB 2222) that passed last year (though it was vetoed). I would suggest that if you want to provide other examples of sustainability-related bills we have officially supported, you check ASR's site that lists our official position on all state-level legislation: https://www2.calstate.edu/impact-of-the-csu/government/Advocacy-and-State-Relations
Environmental Stewardship is also called out as a key legislative priority on ASR's website: https://www2.calstate.edu/impact-of-the-csu/government/Advocacy-and-State-Relations/Pages/other-legislative-issues.aspx.

As we age, the look of our skin becomes a concern for many of us. Over time, the skin can sag and wrinkles appear. Finding ways to improve your skin might become a priority once you begin to see these changes.
But, what can you do? What steps can you take to ensure that your skin stays healthy and looks its very best? Here are a few tips to keep your skin glowing and give it a healthy appearance for many years to come.
One of the major factors that play a role in skin care is sun protection. You must protect yourself from the sun to stop signs of aging as well as avoid issues such as skin cancer. A lifetime of exposure to the sun's rays can cause wrinkles, produce age spots, and create other skin problems. Sun exposure also increases the risk of developing skin cancer. To have complete protection from the sun's rays, follow a few simple tips.
First, always use sunscreen. A broad-spectrum sunscreen that has an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or more is best. Apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or as needed. If you are swimming or sweating, apply sunscreen more frequently.
Protective clothing is also a must. You want to be sure to cover your skin with clothing that will protect you from the sun. A wide-brimmed hat is perfect for the face, while long pants and long-sleeved shirts of tightly woven fabrics also do the trick. If you cannot wear such clothing all the time, be sure to add sunscreen to areas where your skin is exposed.
It is also important to look for shade. When outdoors for an extended period of time between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., seek areas of shade. This is the time frame when the rays of the sun are at their strongest. If you are in an area that does not offer shade, an umbrella can also provide protection from the sun.
Smoking is not only bad for your health, it is also bad for your skin. When you smoke, it can make your skin look older and create wrinkles. Smoking affects the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of your skin. The habit decreases blood flow and the skin appears to have a paler complexion. The skin then does not get enough of the oxygen and nutrients that are beneficial to your overall skin health.
Smoking causes damage to the elastin and collagen of the skin. You need these fibers to provide elasticity and strength to the skin. Facial expressions you make as you smoke also impact your skin. Puckering your mouth when inhaling can create lines around the mouth, while squinting when avoiding cigarette smoke can create wrinkles around the eyes.
If you are like most people, you encounter stress on a regular basis. Stress can lead to acne breakouts and issues with the skin. Stress affects every part of the body, including the skin. Studies have shown that when stress occurs in the body, it leads to breakouts of acne. Stress increases the levels of cortisol and other hormones in the body, which can clog the skin's pores with oil and attract bacteria that create acne.
Learning stress management techniques can be helpful. If you find that stress creates acne breakouts, learn how to combat those stressful feelings. Engaging in yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises might help handle daily stress.
We should also consider the way we care for our skin. Cleansing and shaving are daily parts of life to consider, since such practices can place great tolls on the skin. You must treat the skin gently to avoid issues. Consider limiting the amount of time you spend taking baths and showers to ensure the right amount of oil stays on your skin. Hot water from a bath or a long shower can deplete the oils your skin needs to stay healthy.
Looking to rehab your skin when shaving, use lubrication so that the skin and hair follicles are not harmed. Lotions, gels, or shaving creams can all protect the hair follicles. Use a clean razor that is sharp and shave in the direction of hair growth, not against the growth.
If you have dry skin, be sure to moisturize. A moisturizer with SPF is an added bonus. With proper moisturizing, you are better able to protect your skin while avoiding dryness and rough patches.
You can protect your skin in other ways. For example, what you eat can make a difference. Ensuring you have a healthy diet can help promote younger looking skin. Adding fish oil, fish oil supplements, and items that are low in healthy fats can help your skin look its very best. It is also important to drink water so that your skin stays hydrated. Avoiding greasy and fatty foods might also prevent skin oiliness or acne breakouts.
It is important to take care of the skin on a regular basis. By watching what you eat, drinking water, protecting your skin from the sun, and establishing a quality cleansing regimen, you are providing your skin with what it needs to look its very best. Start today, and you might see a difference in your skin in just a few short weeks.


Many young Protestants in the Chinese city of Xiamen marry a non-Christian spouse. How does religious heterogamy illuminate the social and ritual boundaries created by Protestants in Xiamen? Considering the function and permeability of these metaphoric boundaries, how should we visualize them? This article draws on data collected between August 2014 and February 2016. Intermarriage with non-Christians is condemned by most ministers in Xiamen, but it is an essential option for young women who far outnumber marriageable men in most church communities. The resulting weddings are marked by a search for compromises among the bride and groom, their parents, and the social communities for whom their parents host the wedding. It is argued that in terms of function and permeability, the social and ritual boundaries of Protestantism in Xiamen are less like barbed-wire fences than like the gates of a subway system, or the emergency exit of a shopping mall. Since a central aim of Chinese Protestants is to recruit more people to the faith, there is room for women to briefly exit the community and to re-enter with a converted husband. This focus on boundaries as metaphors may contribute to the field of interreligious studies, where boundaries are a key concept.

Which is safer, cars or public transportation?
On Behalf of Lozner & Mastropietro | Jul 3, 2018 | Motor Vehicle Accidents
In general, it is safer for you to hop on public transportation rather than get behind the wheel of a car. Sure, bus, ferry or airplane crashes generate the most headlines, but cars are the ones to worry about.
What about the transit stations themselves? Say a bus or subway stop is in a sketchy part of town. Are you at serious risk of a mugging? If the area is isolated, you could be. However, you could be at risk in isolated parking lots as well. Alternatively, suppose that you are standing on the bus, someone brushes by you, and the next thing you know, your wallet is missing. Yes, theft on public transportation does happen, and things can get dicey if you catch on in the middle of the theft and try to challenge the perpetrator.
All that said, public transportation is still safer than driving cars. Driving is just a risky activity. Here is a look at two reasons why.
Lack of training
Many car drivers do not belong on the road. This can be true of some bus and train drivers, but as a group, they have more training. With car drivers, you can have teenagers behind the wheel. Not only are they inexperienced, they are also more likely than adults to be texting or chatting with friends in the car.
Distractions galore
Many drivers seem to be on their cellphones constantly, or if they are not, they are about to reach for the devices. Perhaps they are also trying to eat breakfast or clean their shirt where soda just spilled. What about the dog yapping in the back seat and the construction site that deserves gawking at, taking the driver's attention off the road?
The numbers tell the story. Transit passengers are 20 to 60 times less likely to suffer injuries compared to people in a car. If you usually drive when you have good public transportation options, it may be worth exploring how you can make public transportation work for you.

From the acclaimed director of the Tony-winning revival of Hair, Diane Paulus, comes a reworked classic: The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess. Paulus, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks and musician Diedre L. Murray have cut, edited, added and changed George Gershwin, DuBose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin's classic American opera about the folks living on Catfish Row, South Carolina, to make it more accessible as an American musical—something today's Broadway audiences can easily digest.
Much has been written about the changes, particularly before anyone had seen it! This production was developed at the American Repertory Theatre (A.R.T.) in Boston, Massachusetts, where Paulus is the Artistic Director. While at A.R.T., Paulus and company did a lot of the cutting, editing, adding and changing, much to the chagrin of some of our most venerable musical theatre titans. But the team also made many changes post-A.R.T. and pre-Broadway. And it seems, after all the hoopla, that not much has changed—drastically, anyway.
I've never seen another production of Porgy and Bess but by all accounts, the basic story and the character arcs are roughly the same; some scenes have been trimmed to keep the musical at a more reasonable two-and-a-half hours (with intermission), and a little bit of expository dialogue has been added to clarify characters' motives. It seems that the most dramatic change is that there is more dialogue and less recitative, which, for me, is a good thing, if my one experience with opera is any indication.
And yet, for all the rejiggering, I'm not sure it did much to change audiences' experience.
It's a technically flawless production. Riccardo Hernandez's scenic design is minimal but evocative, showing us simply and clearly the kind of place Catfish Row was in the early 1930s. Helping to show us who the people of Catfish Row are is ESosa's costume designs. For the most part, the ghetto residents wear drab, modest work clothes (except Sporting Life and Bess, when we first meet her). And they look like an Easter-themed water color painting come to life when they change into their Sunday best for the annual picnic. Christopher Akerlind's subtle lighting design does wonders to focus your attention and beautifully highlight just the right moments. And Acme Sound Partners' sound design is so good that I could hear the tiniest detail way up in the back of the rear mezzanine.
But as for the story—the meat of the show, what moved me most were the songs (virtually unchanged, to my knowledge) and the actors' performances. The degree to which I cared about the characters had little to do with the new character development worked into the show and all to do with my affection for the wonderfully talented Norm Lewis and Audra McDonald, taking on the title roles.
I've been listening to Audra McDonald for years on my Ragtime original cast recording (listen to "Your Daddy's Son" and try not to cry; I dare you), and I saw her in Twelfth Night in Shakespeare in the Park a few years ago, but I had never seen her on stage in a musical. As the floozy-turned-honest woman Bess, McDonald delivers a knock-out performance. She commands your attention, even when she's in the background, and has an impossibly powerful voice that goes straight to your heart.
And I'd never seen Norm Lewis perform (although I did sit a few seats away from him at the final performance of [title of show]) but, oh my Thespis, now I know what all the fuss is about. His physical therapy bills are going to sky-rocket after playing the crippled Porgy, but I'd say it's worth it for this kind of performance. Lewis's easy, charismatic smile quickly draws you in and keeps your sympathy and attention for the duration of the show. (Try to resist the urge to rush the stage and hug him after "I Got Plenty of Nothing.") I think the most wonderful thing about Lewis's performance is that he doesn't let Porgy become the victim. His Porgy is strong, sharp and resilient, despite, or perhaps because of, the challenges that come his way.
(Other standout performances: Joshua Henry (American Idiot, The Scottsboro Boys) as Jake; NaTasha Yvette Williams as Mariah; Phillip Boykin as Crown (he plays one of the villains but Boykin was sweet as pecan pie at the stage door); and David Alan Grier (yes, from In Living Color) as Sporting Life.)
It's hard not to praise the production, even if I didn't feel any exhilarating connections to the show itself. I felt for the characters and was moved by the music, but I can see that no matter the changes and adjustments, this will never be one of those shows I rave about and see over and over, like Diane Paulus's previous Broadway outing, Hair. That's not a knock on Porgy and Bess—this production or any other—it's just simply not material that excites me and shakes me to my core. But that's okay; not everything is going to. Even absent core-shaking material, this is a superlative production, with expert design, a classic score and phenomenal performances.

Q: Why here StartCorotine() is necessary using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class FirePistol : MonoBehaviour {

    public GameObject TheGun;
    public GameObject MuzzleFlash;
    public AudioSource GunFire;
    public bool IsFiring = false;

    void Update () {
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
        {
            if (IsFiring == false)
            {
                StartCoroutine(FiringPistol());
            }
        }

    }

    IEnumerator FiringPistol ()
    {
        IsFiring = true;
        TheGun.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("PistolShot");
        MuzzleFlash.SetActive(true);
        MuzzleFlash.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("MuzzleAnim");
        GunFire.Play();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        IsFiring = false;
    }
}

I am writing a gun mechanic And
I wonder why we need
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);  .What is the difference without this command  .It's really unnecessary to write this code coz the time is short .Afterall , will it be an error like scene crash after i deleting this code ?Any help is greatly appreciated !

A: In general: Every method returning IEnumerator has to contain at least one yield statement. In Unity you have to use StartCoroutine to run an IEnumerator as Coroutine.

In your specific case: So you can delay your code by 0.5 seconds!
It is short but 0.5 is about 30 frames!
Someone using e.g. something like AutoClicker could jam the fire key each frame so he would cause significantly more damage then someone playing "normal" (due to physical limitations of your keyboard and finger ;) )
You are just avoiding that and limit down firing to a maximum of 2x per second.
In general - as usual - there are multiple ways to achieve that and you could go without Coroutines entirely but it makes coding so much cleaner and easier to maintain then doing everything in Update!

As some alternative examples for simple delays as here you could also either do a simple timer in Update
private float timer;

void Update ()
{
    if(timer > 0)
    {
        // reduce the timer by time passed since last frame
        timer -= Time.deltaTime;
    }
    else
    {
        if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
        {
            FiringPistol();
            timer = 0.5f;
        }
    }
}

void FiringPistol()
{
    TheGun.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("PistolShot");
    MuzzleFlash.SetActive(true);
    MuzzleFlash.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("MuzzleAnim");
    GunFire.Play();
}

or you can also use Invoke with a given delay.
bool canFire;

void Update ()
{
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && canFire)
    {
        FiringPistol();
    }
}

void FiringPistol()
{
    TheGun.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("PistolShot");
    MuzzleFlash.SetActive(true);
    MuzzleFlash.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("MuzzleAnim");
    GunFire.Play();

    Invoke(nameof(AfterCooldown), 0.5f);
}

void AfterCooldown()
{
    canFire = true;
}

In general btw you should store the Animation references to not use GetComponent over and over again:
// if possible already reference these via the Inspector
[SerializeField] private Animation theGunAnimation;
[SerializeField] private Animation muzzleFlashAnimation;

private void Awake()
{
    // as fallback get them on runtime
    // since this is a fallback and in best case you already referenced these via the Inspector
    // we can save a bit of resources and use GetComponent
    // only in the case the fields are not already set
    // otherwise we can skip using GetComponent as we already have a reference
    if(!theGunAnimation) theGunAnimation = TheGun.GetComponent<Animation>();
    if(!muzzleFlashAnimation) muzzleFlashAnimation = MuzzleFlash.GetComponent<Animation>();
}

then later you reuse them
theGunAnimation.Play("PistolShot");
MuzzleFlash.SetActive(true);
muzzleFlashAnimation.Play("MuzzleAnim");
GunFire.Play();

Animation Anecdotes #179
My Top Ten Anime Features (Part 2)
CLASSIC ANIMATED ADVERTISING
September 13, 2014 posted by
Lost Cartoon Pilot: "Black, Kloke & Dagga" (1967)
Think of the TV cartoon studios of the 1960's and you may think of Hanna-Barbera, DePatie-Freleng, Filmation, and JKL Productions. JKL Productions? Who are they? I'm glad I asked that, for indeed that is our subject for today.
JKL Productions was the name chosen by comedian Morey Amsterdam for his cartoon studio. He announced a series featuring the voice and likeness not only of himself, but Zsa Zsa Gabor as well. Our good pal Darrell Van Citters recently discovered a 16mm print of Amsterdam's pilot episode, Black, Kloke and Dagga, among the artifacts of the late Lee Orgel, animation producer… and old pal of Morey Amsterdam. Darrell also found a complete storyboard for same.
The film does in fact feature Morey and Ms. Gabor on the soundtrack, and the characters resemble them as well. Interestingly the third actor is Stan Irwin. About this same time Mr. Irwin was working as the voice of Costello in the Hanna-Barbera Abbott and Costello cartoons, and Lee Orgel's Jomar Productions co-produced the series.
Morey Amsterdam had a few brushes with animation before this, mainly with UPA. His first being a cartoon for The Boing Boing Show entitled "The Merry-Go-Round in the Jungle" designed and directed by Lew Keller. The cartoon was a fanciful telling of the Henri Rousseau story. Amsterdam did the narration in a dodgy French accent similar to the one he would employ in Gay Purr-ee six years later. About the time he was recording his voices for Gay Pur-ee, Amsterdam also worked on Magoo's Christmas Carol. These last two projects were produced Lee Orgel.
Small wonder then that when Morey Amsterdam wanted to produce a cartoon pilot, he turned to Lee Orgel. It's likely that Orgel acted as the actual producer, hiring freelance artists to complete the film. There are no screen credits besides the voices, so we have to make a few educated guesses about the personnel. The music sounds to me like Walter Greene's work. The sound effects are from Phil Kaye. The layouts appear to be the work of Corny Cole, who probably drew the storyboard as well. Much of the animation looks it was done in a simplified fashion by Manny Perez.
The film itself is parody of the spy genre, specifically recalling the wildly popular Man from U.N.C.L.E. TV show, even employing acronyms for the spy agencies. We do not know who might have written or directed the cartoon. The print was in faded Eastmancolor, so it's safe to assume that the colors were originally much more vivid.
What possessed Morey Amsterdam to want to become an animation producer is another mystery. Perhaps it was a belated revenge plot against Hanna-Barbera for not using him as the voice of George Jetson as they had originally planned. I guess we'll never know. We also don't know what if anything JKL stood for, other than being three consecutive letters of the alphabet. Anyway, take a look at the cartoon and judge for yourself if this was another great could-have-been, or another mediocre understudy waiting in the wings for the big break that never came.
Below are a few sample pages of the original storyboard for Black, Kloke and Dagga. Notice that they are drawn on store bought storyboard paper and not on studio paper. This would suggest that the board was done on a freelance basis. (click thumbnails to enlarge)

At least the director wasn't legally blind unlike the sole director at a certain studio that Greene did the music for.

I see Nic's been shopping at Cheapshots-R-Us recently…
Very funny. I was being serious.

"Year of the Horse" (from the clipping) was released as The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit (1968).
I neglected to mention that included with the original theatrical run of "Horse…" was – here's your animation connection – the Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day featurette.
Off-topic, but what is the current whereabouts for the Academy Award that "Blustery Day" won for? I was just the former Florida animation building at Disney Hollywood Studios and out of all the awards displayed for "Best Animated Short" Disney won (not counting the recent "Paperman"), "Blustery Day" was not included.
Chris Sobieniak
Maybe Wolfgang Reitherman kept that for himself? It's a stretch, though perhaps it's back over at the main studios someplace.
I'm thinking of asking Dave Smith about that, but I'm not sure he knows either.
Paul Duca
The film "Year of the Horse" was released under the title "The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit"…
Andy Decker
Looks like the anonymous work of some of the Depatie-Freleng crew! The storyline and animation IS mediocre,to say the least,but it is fun in an odd way! Interesting to hear Zsa Zsa doing voice work,since she had done
H-B's version of Alice in Wonderland the previous year!
Garry Kanter
I dunno… my first impression was Jay Ward-ish.
Too much plot, but the jokes and references they did include were good.
I'd have watched it as a kid, certainly.
Even though it was unremarkable, it was fun nonetheless. Storyboards also show this. LIked the Zsa Zsa character changing her clothes out of nowhere and scuba diving through a bullethole offscreen.
Curious why it was never picked up despite the relatively famous voice cast. I'm guessing by '68 cartoon spy spoofs were already saturating the market and the indie company didn't have much of a chance to stand out.
"uncle" wayne
jeez… appreciate the find, but animation-wise only a 60s Popeye could be worse!!!
Bob Gassel
As late as 1976, Maury was planning an animated Marx Brothers project…

Lord knows he had quite a few ideas that went nowhere.
Steve Bailey
Just a guess, but the music sounds like Dean Elliott.
Charles Brubaker
I agree with Mike's guess that it's Walter Greene. If you listen to his track on the Walter Lantz and DFE cartoons, it's very similar (in fact, a lot of music in this cartoon I've heard before in Lantz cartoons)
I recognize some of it as nearly being used in Lantz's Beary Family cartoons.
Tom Minton
Are you sure that storyboard was drawn by Corny? Choppy cutting and the stiff down angle of the moving car at 2:55 doesn't work on any level. The scoring does sound like any run-of-the-mill DFE short. For Morey Amsterdam, one would expect more jokes.
Mike Kazaleh
I'm not absolutely sure about the storyboard. If you recognize the style please let us know. There is very little information on this cartoon, and we'd like to fill in as many gaps as possible.
Bill Vallely
Not bad at all. It actually made me laugh a few times. I could definately see this working.
I liked it! I don't think it was Corny Cole on layout, but I do suspect it may have been someone from the "Roger Ramjet" team. For some reason they went to lengths to show "Dagga" having blue eyes (purple on this faded print) but the ink-and-painters overlooked it in some shots. Morey Amsterdam sounded like he was trying to do a Bogart-ish voice rather than his usual Noo Yawkese wise guy; and Zsa Zsa was pretty good, though Eva really had more of a knack for comedy. You're probably right about Walter Greene on music; doesn't sound like Dean Elliott. This show could've done fairly well in syndication as a segment for local station kiddie shows.
Steve Sherman
Amsterdam was a pretty astute business man. If I recall correctly he was an investor in American International Pictures and did quite well.
Morey was also one of the few profit participants on "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
Don M.Yowp
About all Variety said about the series was: "J K L Productions, with comedian Morey Amsterdam and producer Lee Orgell partnered, has a cartoon private-eye spoof ready for syndication in the kidvid market. Titled "Black Kloke & Dagga," the initial package contains 50 five-minute segs with Amsterdam and Zsa Zsa Gabor doing all the voices." (Dec. 20, 1967).
You have to wonder how he had time for it. He seems to have been constant demand. Among other things, he produced a "Breakfast in Hawaii" daytime syndicated show being hawked around the same time.
Peter Hale
If the headline in Ms Black's newspaper had read "Nose Cone Lost at Pole" the storyline might have made a little more sense…
Plot holes weren't this cartoon's specialty!
Greg Duffell
My wild guesses at who did the storyboard would be either Bob Kurtz or Sam Cornell. Content aside, I differ with many posters that the animation is poor, or at a "60's Popeye" level. As far as low budget TV animation was concerned, I would say it was pretty well done for the time, more on a par with Jay Ward style and pleasant and fun enough to look at.
Looking at the Limited Animation Lovers Facebook page at this, I thought that this was Hanna-Barbera's "Inch High, Private Eye" from 1973-74!
P.J. Whoopee
The DFE comparison is apt, tho not top-tier DFE, unfortunately.
The design of Morey's character is amazingly good for how simple it is. I wouldn't know who it's supposed to be per se, so it's not exactly a caricature, but it's very good. Given more "Morey-esque" dialog it would be first rate to animate.
it's an interesting short and thanks for posting it. IMO the main fault is it lacks energy right across the board, from script, to recording to pacing, cutting and execution. The voices are all talented people but sound phoned in. The choice of doing a Bogart voice is a particular misfire considering how snappy his regular persona was.
I wonder if the title was originally KLOKE & DAGGA but they had to give Ms. Gabor's character top billing just to get her to do it?

Tel Aviv in Transit: Top 10 Ways To Get Around Tel Aviv
Deborah Moher & Ido Biran
Your personal form of transport in Tel Aviv is a matter of choice, and the options are endless. The bicycle trend has developed over the last 10 years with Tel-O-Fun bike rental stations on every corner. Electric cyclists whiz down Rothschild, while others prefer to take it slow and walk around the city. The talented mind behind the popular visual city portrait Tel-Avivi, urban photographer Ido Biran, shows us the top commuting options in our bustling White City of Tel Aviv. Follow Tel-Avivi on Facebook and Instagram for more stunning shots.
Israel's Railway Courtesy of Ido Biran/ Tel- Avivi
Tel Aviv boasts a relatively new and impressive overground railway system. In a quick and civilized manner you can zip around the country while using the railway's useful WiFi to catch up on work. Ticket prices are reasonable and it's a pretty easy system to figure out as a non-native Hebrew speaker. As a less crowded alternative to the bus, many Tel Aviv residents use the city's central HaShalom station to get to Ben Gurion Airport in matter of minutes.

The Serious Cyclist
Tel Aviv residents take their vehicles seriously, and the same applies when it comes to bicycles. Many are investing in the most expensive, top of the range bicycles to show off around the city. Cycling is really the best way to get around the city, and Tel Aviv in recent years is starting to look a little like Amsterdam.
The Old Timer
Cars have always been a popular method of transport in the city. One drawback, though, is that it can be a real pain to find parking. Similar to New York City, most people avoid owning a car like the plague until they have settled down and moved to the suburbs. Driving in Israel can be tricky for foreigners, with many ballsy drivers on the road. Most cars in Israel are standard hatchbacks, but if you're lucky you'll spot a real old timer with a beautiful retro vehicle.
The Tel-O-Fun Cyclist
For all you commitment-phobes, the municipality of Tel Aviv solved all your problems with its city bike rental service Tel-O-Fun. Borrow a bike for 30 minutes, return it at one of the many stations and forget about having to worry about locking it up. This is the perfect solution for those not wishing to invest in an expensive bike.
Running is a national pastime in Israel. With marathons taking place up and down the country, Tel Aviv is host to several of them. The White City's flat roads are an ideal place for training and keeping fit, and the tayelet (or boardwalk) is a stunning running route to catch the sunset.
The Bus Passenger
Tel Aviv residents have been using the bus service for years, and Israel's bus companies Dan & Egged are still going strong. The system and routes can seem confusing, but in the last few years many apps like Moovit have been developed to help commuters navigate the transit routes. As long as you get a smiley and patient bus driver, it's a great way to get around the city.
Israel is a natural haunt for world travelers and backpackers, and Tel Aviv is filled with tourists from all over. You can spot tourists carrying a giant suitcase on their backs and looking slightly lost. For tourists and backpackers alike, the best way to see Israel (and of course the city) is with our God-given feet. With spring weather finally here, Tel Aviv is a perfect city to get lost in.
Surfing isn't a conventional transport method, but it's perfect for thrill seekers. Summer's approaching and it's the perfect season to learn to ride the waves in our beautiful Mediterranean Sea. There are countless surf schools along the tayelet, and you can often spot kids as young as 7 braving the waves. New Tel Aviv trends now include SUP (stand-up paddleboarding), and if that doesn't challenge you try SUP yoga (dog included), a complete balancing act.
Israelis are adrenaline junkies, and the roads are no exception. It's hard to miss the loud motors taking off throughout the city. In addition to motorbikes, Tustus (scooters) are also a popular choice for nipping around the city. Deliveries are mostly made on these, and don't be surprised to see everything including the kitchen sink piled on the back of it.
The Taxi Cab
Taxis swarm the city of Tel Aviv, and it's a pretty easy (albeit expensive) way to get around. They offer a comfortable Plan B transport option if all else fails. Hail, jump in and meet the most interesting characters Israel has to offer. The driver will offer to have you over for Shabbat dinner, or set you up on a blind date with his cousin's son. Either way, it's always entertaining.

Many disorders can affect the joints in the toes, causing pain and preventing the foot from functioning, as it should. Lesser toe deformities are commonly associated with poor footwear selection but also can be secondary to hereditary causes. Recovery from a hammertoe surgery can take around a few months. Common deformities of the hallux include hallux valgus, hallux varus and halux rigidus. This is a condition where the big toe deviates towards the lesser toes and rotates outwards. This condition is commonly associated with a prominence over the base of the toe called a bunion". This deformity can be accentuated by inflammation due to rubbing of shoewear. The general incidence of Fallen Arches in the population is 2 - 4 percent. The incidence of Hallux Valgus is higher among women. This results in inflammation of the joint involved with Hallux valgus. Post-traumatic: Hallux Valgus can occur after an accident which has rupture or divided the articular capsule. It can also occur in post traumatic disorders leading to flat feet. Occasionally the bunion becomes inflammed. After surgery, your skin is closed with fine sutures. A dressing is used to help keep your toes in their new position. If a mallet toe deformity is not corrected, the toe may remain stiff permanently. Your shoes may rub against the raised portion of the toe and cause painful corns and calluses. Before we discuss what is the best hammer toe treatment for you to use, you should learn more about what causes hammer toe and other feet problems in the first place. The deformity is caused by nerve damage. Now the fact that your toe is bent is not the real problem here, the issue has to do with the pain you are feeling that is impeding your daily routine. These treatments include getting you into the proper shoesize, a deeper toe box in your shoes to take the pressure off your toes. If this does not work, then there are pads that can be used to offload your toes and keep them from rubbing against your shoes. If none of these work, then surgery can be considered to straighten the joint out, which will remove the pressure from your toe. Your doctor will give you pain medication, which may cause nausea or constipation. You can go to a hospital in your area and they will do a finacial screening to see if you qualify for the surgery to get it done for free or within reason depending on your income. I have been through alot with my foot now going on 10 months. My fourth and fifth toes are kind of curved and I developed corns and pain on the upper knuckles-so hard to find shoes. A podiatrist cut off the little bony parts and it looked like I would have normal looking feet. Hi, i am Mohamed from Egypt , i want to get information about how you can helb me about my leg , i have in my left foot 2 of my middle toes are sticking together and are big more and more than their normal size. Hello, i am 13 years old and i think i have mallet toe on my third toes (both feet). Keep your foot elevated as much as possible for the first week after your foot dry for at least 2 weeks after week after surgery you will have your dressing changed by coming to see your attending sutures will be removed after the second doctor will advise you when you can increase activities and put weight on the pain and anti-inflammatory medications as prescribed by your physician.Vitamin C is important to heal scar tissue.

The Argentina Gaucho origins
by admin | Jul 31, 2016 | Traditions
The Argentina gauchos was the nomadic horseman of the Pampas, of mixed ancestry origins, he led a free and independent life and has been looked at in fascination by all those who met him.
All travellers agree that he was the embodiment of freedom. "They abhor discipline and are distinguished by a naughty and independent dignity." (Hinchliff)
Argentina Gauchos in the Pampas
He was, in the mid eighteenth century, a lazy and often belligerent vagrant, accustomed to slaughter cattle when hungry, to work when in need of a shirt, and who had neither home nor family.
"Whether it be cold or hot, the itinerant peon reposes soundly under the open canopy of heaven, having the earth as his bed, his poncho as his covering, and his saddle for his pillow."
(Gillespie – Gleanings and Remaks, Leeds 1818)
Life of gaucho in the Pampas
When the colonies started trading in hides and tallow, the Argentina gauchos was needed at the vaquerías (the first organized farms), because he was skilfull in all rural activities.
He was the adequate person, who, armed with his knife, his lasso and his boleadoras, hunted the large herds.
He had to assemble the cattle and drive them to market, break in the colts, kill the cattle for hide, tallow and charqui (jerked meat).
The hides had to be stretched and dried and charqui had to be cut in long pieces, dipped in salt and water and dried in the air.
The Argentina gauchos, this strong, loyal, proud creature, was now learning to build his hut and settle down. Early in the nineteenth century the Gauchos were forced to join the army to fight the wars of independence.
Famous Argentina Gauchos Don Segundo Ramirez
"The character of the Gaucho is often very estimable; he is always hospitable, at his hut the traveller is sure to find a friendly welcome, and he will often be received with a natural dignity of manner which is very remarkable."
(Francis Bond Head – Rough Notes, London 1828)
Argentina Gauchos according to author Hinchliff:
"Most of them do a hard day´s work very steadily without food till the evening announces the time of their rest; they loll or sit lazily about the fire where their beef is cooking, while the inevitable cigarette ornaments their sunburnt faces; and if I may judge by my own experience, I should say they pass their evening remarkably quietly in their own quartier of the Estancia; where they peaceably gorge themselves with beef and mate."
Today the Pampa has been fenced, the fear of the malón (attacks by the Indians) has disappeared and the Gaucho has become the peon, the rural labourer.
(Mónica Gloria Hoss de le Comte)

Pampa Argentina environment
by admin | Jul 31, 2016 | La Pampa
Pampa argentina environment: The Quechua word "pampa" means space, it is a flat surface in the center of Argentina, originally with almost no trees, mostly grass, with its own native animals
It is the name given to the large Argentine plain: one of the largest and most fertile plains in the world, a sea of land without end and according to the famous Argentine poet, Jorge Luis Borges, "the only place on earth where God can roam at large".
Pampa Argentina environment according to author Cunninghame Graham:
"Well did the ancient Quechuas name the plains, with the word signifying space, for all was spacious – earth, sky, the waving continent of grass, the enormous herds of cattle and of horses, the strange effects of light, the fierce and blinding storms and, above all, the feeling in men´s minds of freedom, and of being face to face with nature, under those Southern skies."
Pampa original envinroment
How the Pampa was colonized:
When the Spanish conquerors arrived, the pampa was nothing but a desert, a scrubland covered with bushes and some tala-woods, an arid, unattended land.
The delusion of the newly arrived was enormous, they did not find what they were looking for, there was no gold and there was no silver. But there was the pampa, the boundless Pampa argentina environment, waiting to show them the sort of gold that lay hidden in its soil.
At that time the Spanish were not interested in the country occupied by the pampa, they did not need it, so only a few expeditions crossed the desert to have a closer look at it.
The founder of the City of Buenos Aires, Juan de Garay, was the first Spaniard to travel along the coast of what today is the Province of Buenos Aires.
That was in 1581, only one year after founding Buenos Aires. In 1604, the Governor Hernando Arias de Saavedra crossed the plain from north to south looking for the mythic, rich and evasive Ciudad de los Césares, which was said to be a city made of gold.
The pampa was practically uninhabited and the few Indians, with limited mobility to cover these immense distances, lived in a low culture society.
The Spanish colonizers who arrived in what is now Argentina, had to put a lot of hard work into tending the land, more than anywhere else in America.
They bravely fought against shortages and poverty not known in other places, since the Indians were not eager to help them in their work.
Land of the gauchos
The new inhabitants started crossing the desert in large caravans of carriages. They had to go very cautiously, the fear fo meeting bellicose Indians was genuine.

Gaucho Don Segundo Ramírez
Güiraldes, based on the real stories of Don Segundo, wrote the main novel about Gauchos: "Don Segundo Sombra", firstly published in 1926 in the gaucho town San Antonio de Areco.
He describes visit gaucho "don Segundo" the same as the real character: "His chest was vast, bony joints like a colt, short foot with big instep, thick hands with callus and a dark complexion with small eyes…".
Gaucho Don Segundo
On the ranch, not far from the main house, was a great Ombú: This is a tree which, grows only on the Pampas. Every day, Ricardo Güiraldes climbed into a notch of this tree and wrote the story of Don Segundo Sombra. It was published in 1926, and made its author famous. Indeed, it was one of those rare books, like the great gaucho epic Martín Fierro (1872), that are read by everyone, intellectual and farmer, adult and child.
Don Segundo Sombra with horse
Don Segundo was born in 1860, and got married with Venancia Rodríguez in 1891. He worked for many Estancias in Areco: San Fermín, La Merced, La Fe, La Porteña, but never had any identity card nor employment contract.
Don Tomás Huarte, foreman of Estancia La Enriqueta, told some things about don Segundo:
– Don Tomás, while siping mate with don Segundo, ask him why being such a good worker, he stay just one year in one Estancia, then maybe two years in another Estancia an so on: "Look, if as a simple worker I stay here for two years knowing all your weakness, by the third one I will pretend to be the foreman, and that situation will not like you, and being a foreman for three or four years, by the fifth I will feel like being the owner and I should settled here.
Instead of this I prefer to go and feel free. I do not want to be tied to any obligation."
Don Segundo Ramirez in Areco
– Don Segundo was in the fireplace with some others gauchos, and told this story: "I used to know a blind man in the Capilla town, to whom some people bring a horse, and that man begin to touch the horse in the neck, then feeling the horsehair in the chest, in the rib cage, and finally said: this animal is black, or bay or cream-coloured…"
One listener said: "wow…but, does he ever failed?"
Don Segundo: If he ever failed?, he failed all the time!!!

We love ceremonies.For us, it's the magical part of the whole wedding experience.
If your ceremony and reception are at the same location, our specialized ceremony music and microphone service offers you not only great value but more importantly, convenience and the peace-of-mind of only having to deal with one person for all of your wedding music needs. We specially tune and place microphone for your officiant, enabling your guests to hear the whole ceremony with crystal clarity. This microphone and stand is available for any readers or vocalists you may have, and additional microphones can be contracted as necessary.
For your ceremony music, it can range from the traditional Wedding March and Pachelbel's Canon, to classical guitar and even current pop vocals. We can suggest some gorgeous and truly unique selections or we can play that special piece you've always envisioned walking down the isle to. If you're interested in live music for your ceremony, we have some wonderful trios, harpists and classical guitarists that we would be happy refer you to. As with your whole wedding, we work together with you to create a beautiful ceremony that is uniquely your own!

Film screening #4
Who / Where / When / How long
Location / Date / Time
(Synopsis and anecdotes)
British–born filmmaker, visual artist and organizer Phil Collins' diverse practice is characterised by close engagements with places and communities. During this informal one–hour talk, he will converse with writer and film historian Helen Westerik about the project that is part of his latest feature film Tomorrow Is Always Too Long.
(Biography and quotes)
"In addition to being a funny, invigorating and inspirational ode to being the cleverest kid in the room, it's a remarkable testament to the suspension of disbelief." - Guardian
"A radically DIY fictional space-documentary about a trip to Mars—think Michel Gondry directing Carl Sagan's Cosmos with John Carpenter writing the script." - DAZED
"Great fun!... Neistat's snappy visual style is a good match for Sachs' idiosyncratic creations... nail-biting, edge of your seat stuff!" - Twitchfilm


Gabi uses a soft brown and purple palette mixed in with all of our favorite products to create a beautiful page that will be one to adore for years to come as it is timeless.
The Tarnished Treasured Inklingz is the perfect match for the Vintage Artistry paper from 49 and Market. And if you bought Di Garling's last kit, ironically named Treasure, then you may already have this color. While these two kits use both the same word set (Fine Word Set 1 from 2Crafty) and Inklingz color, they are very different in color and composition. These two pieces are so versatile – can you ever have enough great chipboard words?
With the addition of Prills and stamping, we are offering this kit in basic, plus and complete versions. The plus kit includes the Inklingz Tarnished Treasure and Cat's Eye Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan. The complete kit includes those two pieces plus the I Can Not tell a Lilac Prills and Gabi's Postcard from Paris Stamp Set. If you have some of these pieces and not others, you should be able to add them on a la cart.
As always (well just about always), I had fun playing with a bonus sample. Here's my take….
Confession about a few things… I totally over painted the area around the photo mat so what to do? I added the "love" word vertically to try and compensate. Think it worked pretty well. Also had a little fun with the stems off the paper. The dainty Scrapiniec pieces mixed with the weight of the Prills and my not so careful approach left me with some of these strands that had come off other pieces. Personally, love how it turned out with the splash of color to that part of the page. Hope you like too.
And since it's the holiday season upon us, we figured why not do something special to say thank you to all of our customers…..
So there you have it. You can find video links to Gabi's sold out kits here. In the coming weeks, we'll add other designer kits that have sold out and try to streamline the video access page. As we add more and more kits, it's beginning to get a bit cluttered. Think the photo montage of layouts is a nice way to easily decide which video you'd like to watch.
We'll have more before the year is over. New products in include the Gossamer Blue line from LemonCraft – hoping to have it added this weekend. We have new Mini Twinkling H20 colors to add and lots of chippies from all your favorite companies. In addition we have a special treat from Tina Ollett and more!
