Verona, 8 March 1862
Most Reverend Father!
Much time has passed since I last had news of Fr Biagio. I know that he has left Cairo. Fr Lodovico wrote to me from Naples to say that the last three young African girls to have reached Rome are already at the College in the Parthenopean capital. I am very pleased about that. My dearest Fr Nicola, is it possible that we are going to be unable to make an expedition to East Africa to rescue 500 souls? I am impatient to see you in Verona with Fr Biagio to talk about this.
Fr Girelli and Fr Tomelleri of the Order of St. Camillo de Lellis in Verona need to confer with the Cardinal Vicar, His Eminence Patrizi, concerning most holy matters to do with their Congregation. At least I believe this Holy Cardinal has access to the Sacred Congregation for Bishops and Religious. I would therefore be most grateful if you, who are the Cardinal's right hand, could introduce these good Fathers, one of whom is a student at my Institute, to the Cardinal Vicar who shows great benevolence to religious orders and could be of use in helping the Congregation of S. Camillo which has been doing so much good in the Venetian provinces for so many years. As well as asking you to introduce these two good priests to His Eminence, I beg you to give my greetings to Fr Biagio and the famous old heroine and to pray to Mary Most Holy for the one who declares himself in the Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary
Your unworthy servant and friend
Fr Daniel Comboni, Apostolic Missionary
Fr Nicola Mazza sends you his cordial greetings.

Most Reverend Mother!
I hope you have received my letter from Venice and my photographic portrait, and that you are comforted by seeing Count Thomas frequently in your house. I hope furthermore that you are almost completely recovered and that next autumn you will be able to undertake the journey to Jerusalem to return to Rome again as Mother General. I also hope to receive more letters from you. May God grant me this.
I ask of you, dear Mother, a favour which you will be able to do for me: this is it: two Priests from the Congregation of St. Camillo de Lellis, Fr Girelli and Fr Tomelleri (the latter is a student at my Institute), will need to be introduced to the Congregation for Bishops and Religious. You can introduce them to some Bishop who is a friend of yours so that he may help them in their affairs. They want to form a Province uniting the different houses in Venice which currently depend on Rome, in other words, to create a Province with various houses. Please introduce them to the Bishops with whom you are acquainted. You are experienced in such things, having founded so many houses, especially in Rome.
Excuse me, dear Mother; my greetings to Sr Sofia; give my respects to Mgr Serra, Bishop of Perth and pray for
your most unworthy servant

Most Eminent Prince!
The extraordinary kindness with which Your Most Reverend Eminence received me last January in Rome and did so much for the good of the Sisters of St Clare of the Blessed Sacrament of Verona gives me the courage to commend the two bearers of this letter to Your Most Reverend Eminence's care. They are the Camillian Fathers Girelli and Tomelleri who have been sent to Rome on business for their Congregation. Their objective is to obtain consent from the Sacred Congregation for Bishops and Religious for the different religious Houses of the Lombard-Venetian region, each individually dependent on Rome, to be established as a Province and to be bound to one another under the orders of a Provincial Superior dependent on the General of the Reverend Fathers, Ministers of the Sick in Rome. For this purpose they will need guidance, recommendations and assistance.
The Fathers of the Order of St. Camillo de Lellis of Verona and of our provinces, as indeed of all the Religious bodies in the Venetian region, are an example to all and observe their rule with the utmost strictness. For love of the truth, I must say that while some religious souls in Rome radiate the most splendid light of perfection, generally speaking, rules are observed with greater perfection by religious persons of both sexes in our Venetian provinces than in Rome and the other provinces of Italy, almost all of which I have visited. Hence Your Most Reverend Eminence's work of counsel and protection will be eminently rewarded by the satisfaction of knowing that Your Most Reverend Eminence is helping a multitude of just and holy souls who have filled our country with works of charity, and manage and serve in particular a great many hospitals in several cities in Lombardy and the Venetian region. I therefore commend these good Camillian Fathers to your paternal care, fully confident that with your advice and guidance they will succeed in their noble intentions.
The Mother Superior of the Sisters of St Clare of the Blessed Sacrament in Verona, whom I visited yesterday, sends you her very best regards. I beg your pardon for daring to interest Your Most Reverend Eminence, so illuminated in these matters, in favour of these friends of mine. As I humbly kiss the Sacred Purple, I declare myself in the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary

devoted and unworthy servant

My dear Fr Luigi!
You will be saying that I am lazy for never writing to you. Yes, you are right. But I shall soon make up for my negligence and so will you for yours. My purpose in this short letter is to ask you, when you can and as you did for me, to accompany the bearers of this letter, the Camillian Fathers, Fr Girelli and Fr Tomelleri, to see some of the beautiful wonders of Rome. I commend them to your kindness: remember me; convey my greetings and respects to all the members of the House of Carpegna, and consider me
Your sincere friend
Fr Daniel Comboni, Apostolic Missionary
My respects to Mgr Besi.
The magnificent Church vestment donated by Austria to Pius IX, valued at 36,000 scudos, was made by the young girls at my Institute; the young Africans worked on it too. If you go to see it you will be able to admire a magnificent piece of work, all in needlework.

Most Eminent Prince!
Canon Polidoro, now Archpriest of the Cathedral of Verona but previously Her Imperial Majesty Empress Marianne of Austria's confessor and known among us as Saint Liguori of Verona, is now in his seventy-fourth year and is oppressed by a serious and slow chronic illness which in a few months will lead him to the grave. Since he is piously devoted to the Holy See and the Supreme Pontiff and ardently desires a special blessing from the Supreme Pastor of the Church, he has asked me to visit him, so as to find a sure way to obtain this welcome satisfaction. I therefore venture to disturb your Most Illustrious and Most Reverend Eminence, so that on Thursday, when you hasten to the feet of His Holiness, you may deign to ask him for a blessing for Mgr. Polidoro, which would cheer him in the pains of his old age and his extreme illness. If in addition to all this, Your Eminence could request a blessing for the poor Mazza Institute, that would be more precious to it than all the praise it receives from the periodical press, which is often a vehicle for lies. As I await a single line of comfort for our holy old friend announcing the blessing sent to him by the Holy Father I kiss your Sacred Purple, and I declare
myself with all veneration and respect
Your Most Illustrious and Most Reverend Eminence's
most humble and unworthy servant and son

Most noble Countess!
Verona, 1 June 1862
With my hand still trembling and convulsed because I have just stepped down from the pulpit, I hasten to write you this couple of lines to tell you of my surprise, my most heartfelt joy and sincerest gratitude at having just received your most precious letter of the 20th of last month, written to me from the pleasant living room of La Vigna. To tell the truth I never nourished the slightest hope that you would find the time and the will to write tome since you had already told me that apart from your pious sister and a few other close relations you were not accustomed to writing to anyone. That is why, seeing before me in your dear and precious letter the likes of a monument in sweet memory of you and all the dear Carpegna family, which is the object of so many sighs and sweet emotions in my heart, I assure you that this is such an event of true joy for me that I will never finish showing you my sincerest gratitude, nor will I ever be able to.
I hear that a painful event is about to take place in your beloved family, the separation for some time from my dear and innocent Pippo. This separation touches me to the quick, because as long as he remained in Rome I could hope to see him more often, whereas I do not have the opportunity of going to Belgium for the moment. However, I flatter myself that finally a trip to Belgium is for me no more than a stroll from La Vigna to La Sapienza for the Countess, which you will be doing tomorrow as you say in your letter. So if he stays there for a few years, this loving heart which can overcome any obstacle will be able to find an opportunity to fly to embrace him even in Belgium. In the meantime, I beg you to plant two affectionate kisses for me on that dear face, telling him at the same time that once I have his address I shall write to him to start an immediate correspondence between me and him, since I would like to be informed of everything that concerns him and to communicate the deep affection that burns in my heart for him. I care that you and your family should have fond memories of me. If I were to tell you that an hour passes without my affectionately recalling all the members of your family, I would be telling a lie. Always, sans cesse, I carry them all in my heart, I remember them all, and occasionally without realising it I speak of them to those around me. I find real comfort and sweet consolation during our separation in remembering you to God in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which I have never neglected to do every morning that I go up to the altar.
Yes, the God of peace and mercies will not be slow in imparting to your noble family the healing unction of joy and concord; he will disperse all the clouds that the enemy of human happiness spreads over the delights of a family which merits the special regard both of God and of society. In the meantime raise your spirit to tranquillity, to hope, to the dispositions of the God who looks at the four members of your dear family with particular delight and affection. Yes, no prayer leaves my heart with so much spontaneity, so much fervour and so much consolation as the one I utter during the happy moments each day when I raise my eyes to the Lord to find the centre of communication between me and the ever beloved Carpegna family which possesses all my heart. I hear that around the 12th of this month you will be leaving with the Count and Guido for La Carpegna. Oh, my heart rejoices, because you are getting nearer to Verona, and this fact enables me to hope that your closeness might perhaps give me an opportunity to make an autumn trip that way; for I feel a great consuming desire to see you all, to have long conversations, to enjoy your presence. Who knows whether God has this consolation in store for me! I am happy to have news of everybody, especially of the five dear members of your family. That blessed Guiduccio, what he tells me of some of you is only fleeting; but I shall write to him that I long to have news of each one of you in detail, and at length. I am sorry that you were ill after my departure from Rome (which was perhaps the most painful parting I have ever experienced in leaving dear friends, and which in some ways I foresaw).
I hope the waters at Rimini will restore you to perfect health. Try to rid yourself totally of that incipient little cough, which might just be a slight irritation of the mucous membrane or the symptom of some mild infection of the lungs. Be sure to take care and have special regard for your health, which is so precious to the family and to others. And what is my dear Count Luigi doing? Tell him that I always remember him, that I think of him and that I hold him in great esteem, since I have good reasons to, and love him with sincere affection. If I had not been enormously busy in May, I would have written to him; but I have an ardent desire to write to him shortly. In the meantime give him my greetings, as I am praying for him. Moreover my young African boys and girls are well, except for Luigi, who was Guido's favourite and who, because he grew too fast, has caught a tuberculosis which will send him to the grave. This morning I gave your regards to my Superior who thanks you with all his heart, and sends you his. He, who is a saint, is praying for you and the Carpegna family.
Our 400 girls are doing well, although they are caught up in the most formidable distress of these hard times; and so are the 200 boys in my College, who will soon be giving the city an entertainment. The Superior, who is now over seventy and lives on just a few green vegetables taken once a day, without any funds, relying on Providence, leads and provides for this enormous quantity of individuals, ever happy and at peace and ever close to the Lord. For the time being, I am not being sent anywhere: which is why the hope of seeing you soon flashes before my eyes. It is my heart's desire. Give my regards to Professor Mazzoni, of whom I cherish sweet memories and I am not surprised at the success of his operations for I admired his knowledge and frankness which make him a great surgeon. Furthermore I cannot find words to show my gratitude at being remembered by you. I will certainly write to you again; but I dare not ask you to write to me occasionally. Far from finding your letter too long, I must tell you that I am really glad to see your writing in front of me, for I consider it a precious treasure and the more I see it put down as God willed it, the dearer it is to me because it is all the more spontaneous and cordial. Ah, I beg you to be happy and calm. The consolation of having a husband who cares for you and two dear sons to whom you lovingly gave birth, who are so good and who love you much more than a mother, and you are still an incomparable mother to them, is indeed a consolation for you which ought to disperse all the clouds of affliction. And that is my heart's desire.
This last May I preached 33 formal homilies on the Blessed Virgin Mary, and as I praised her greatness, at the offering each evening I asked my numerous audience to say three Hai lMarys for my intention; and that intention was the spiritual and temporal happiness of the Carpegna family. Ah, Mary will pour out the torrent of her blessings and the river of her peace into the hearts of the venerated Countess Ludmilla, of Count Luigi and of all this dear family. Always remember me. Receive the expressions of true esteem and affection which I send you with all my heart
Your most affectionate Fr Daniel Comboni

Most Noble Countess!
Verona, 4 July 1862
How grateful I am for your precious letter of 1st July! How well you satisfy my desires by speaking tome of yourself and of all the Carpegna family, whom I love more than myself! Yes, O venerable Countess; each time you write to me and also when my dear Guido writes, I confess that it is an event that consoles me for everything and disperses all my troubles and anxieties. I thank you with all my heart and I cannot find words to express properly all the affection I have for you and for all the members of the Carpegna family. I assure you that all the causes of affliction presently oppressing your spirit and which you kindly tell me about, directly answer my most intimate feelings; and not only would I like to share all these afflictions (for all the adversities of the Carpegna family are also my own), but I would be happy to shoulder them all, to be alone in feeling them.
Imagine the affection with which each day I rejoice in praying for you and for all of you, especially during Holy Mass. To tell the truth, from the little I know of things in Rome I am convinced that you have done very well to put my dear Pippo in the College in Bruxelles, and that you have acted as a true Christian mother in accepting the sacrifice of separation from the dear boy for love of his future good. Well done, My Lady Countess. How pleased I am to see those generous traits in you which increase in me the esteem and affection I have for you. I therefore want to congratulate the Count, to whom I shall write tomorrow. I am convinced of this, so you must be of good cheer, for you have done a great thing and a very great thing in view of the obstacles you had to overcome. And in time you will be blessed by seeing the fruit of this magnanimous sacrifice.
I beg you to send me the address so that I may establish a correspondence with Pippo because I long to send him such norms and reminders as to enable him to grow in virtue, respect for his family and honour in society. By the way I tell you (and I beg you not to say anything, because it is useful for the time being, and you will see the effects in due course) that I am in correspondence with Count Luigi, and we have exchanged a few letters. I must tell you that I am very pleased so far. Let us therefore fervently pray to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. (I repeat that you must be silent on this. I should not be telling you. But I have so much esteem and respect for you that I am not afraid you will give away my secret.) I am very sorry about the dangerous illness of your sister who lives in Poland.
I celebrated Mass for her in the Sacred Heart this morning, and I shall ask my Superior and some pious souls to pray for the poor ailing soul. But whatever the outcome may be, my dear Countess, let us remain faithful to the Cross of Christ. Let us first ask that God bless her soul and then her body, and always be prepared to accept sacrifice from God's hands. I am glad that you speak to me of your sister Annetta, of Pélagie, of your brother, and of all those who have close ties of family and friendship with you and with the beloved Carpegna family; for I love them all due to their connection with the august name of Carpegna. Please be kind enough to send my greetings to your brother, Pélagie and all four of their good children. Pélagie wrote to me once after my return from Rome and I wrote to her once during the last Easter festivities. Since then I have had no news from the good Polish ladies. I beg you to give them all my greetings. In a letter I have rebuked my two fellow Missionaries whom I had asked to visit your family as soon as they reached Rome and to write to me. Those rascals waited twenty days and then did not write a thing except that they had briefly seen the family, without naming anyone. I was also very grieved by this. But I must be grateful to you, dear Countess, for you have brought me great consolation by giving me news of yourself and the others. That little rascal Guido has not written to me for three months. He really is a bit hard with a friend who loves him; but after all the bustle over Pippo's departure is over, I do intend to send him my complaints. But let us talk a bit intimately.
Although I have only known 10 per 100 of the troubles afflicting the beloved Carpegna family, nevertheless love, which is ever restless and which reaches to wherever a ray of the goodness of loved ones attracts it; my affection, I say, has revealed 90 per 100 of them to me. I take everything into account. I could repeat to you ad litteram everything that flashed to my eyes and to my mind about you, about the Count, about Guido, about Pippo and about Fr Luigi. I see considerable gloom in the family. God gives gall to drink even to those who could be completely happy.
Let us adore God's dispositions: but for our part we must shun everything which can disturb our peace. Ah yes, the venerable Countess Ludmilla was the one who drank the bitterest cup! I imagine it; I can also imagine the heroism of your virtue, the sacrifices you have had to put up with. But take heart, my dear Countess. You did not suffer that anguish, those worries, those sorrows in vain. Those anxieties are now being considered by the one who must consider them. It is impossible that all the sacrifices and sorrows you have been through should not be crowned by a period of peace, by a flood of consolations that await you. Be brave therefore, at this point; be calm; always be happy. Those two dear sons of yours, whom you love with the love of a mother beyond compare, must indeed be a comfort to you, and with good reason, in every grim event.
The Count, I must say with certainty, knows your virtue and knows that you have suffered. But enough, because I would not like to go too far. Be calm, happy, and also think sometimes of Verona, where in some places there is talk of you, Guido and all of you, as in Rome. Some friends of mine frequently ask me about the Carpegnas. Remember me, dear Countess, for I always remember you, and I bear your venerable name and image engraved on my heart. Pray for me, and may God be the centre of communication between me and you, and your dear family. I beg you to write tome during your stay in Pesaro, and let me know how much longer you will be at La Carpegna with the Count and Guido, so that I can make my plans. Oh, if you only knew how great my desire is to see you all! And if you stay there in the autumn, it is very probable that I shall come and visit you for a few days. Write to me Countess, for your letters are like a true refreshing balm for my spirit. And please remind Guido, to whom I shall write after I have written to the Count, not to be so stingy with letters, for his letters are too dear to me. If you write to Pippo and the excellent Fr Luigi, give them my greetings. I imagine Fr Luigi will be going to the London Exhibition; on his return, you might whisper in his ear and suggest to him, as to yourself, that he could pass through Verona, because I would gladly see him and a long conversation with him could be very useful as regards that which roule dans mon esprit.
In the meantime, I send you my respects, O Countess. Take the baths regularly and make sure they are effective in preserving and restoring your precious health. Enjoy yourself, be happy and in good spirits, give my greetings to Pippo and write telling me about yourself and your concerns, which are like my own, about Guido and the Count whom I love and whom I contemplate every day in my great album, which I never open except three or four times a day, to see spread out the picture of the venerable Carpegna family. Accept the expression of my esteem and respectful love, with which I sign
with all my heart
Your most affectionate servant

My Superior has just now asked me to send you his regards.
Countess Ludmilla di Carpegna

AFC, Pesaro
Most Noble Countess!
Verona, 1 August 1862
While you are still in Pesaro, I want to write to you once again, knowing how good and kind you are about willingly reading my script. I have received your last most precious letter on the 19th of last month which in one way flooded my soul with immense pleasure, and in another, afflicted me. I must say that I have received a most beautiful letter from Bruxelles, in which my dear Pippo gives me a long account of his present situation. What a fine heart that son has! He tells me that he is earnestly committed to wanting to do well, and succeeding in bringing consolation to his parents. He is so fond of his family that everything else bores him; so that he lives nearly all the time in seclusion, concentrating on his studies to repay his beloved parents' endless care with joyful success. He begs me to console Papa and Mama with a few letters. And as Papa was contrary, he wants to give him as much consolation and more, through his good progress, as he had sorrow in giving his consent. God bless this good son, and may he bless the excellent Fr Luigi who truly cares for him as a father! I had great pleasure in receiving a letter from Fr Luigi for the first time. From what I can see he will be staying in Bruxelles all this year. Pippo appears to me so well intentioned in his studies, so keen to do well, that this son, whose momentary separation from you has caused so many tears, will bring such consolation to the hearts of his good parents that he will be an honour to this noble family. On the other hand this boy seems so good to me that he will be quite unstained by all that might be bad in a military college, especially since the one in Bruxelles has a good reputation.
Let your heart be consoled therefore, my good Countess, for your sacrifice will generate the happiness and goodness of that soul. I must also confess the Count's good part in this. He did not want to give his consent at any cost, and he gave it. He complains, shouts and goes around mumbling in protest, and he leaves him in Bruxelles. In some way, he is adapting to the will of others. Not understanding you well, other men would have held their ground and refused their approval. But the Count yielded; and in this he has shown that he is a man who is capable of sacrifices. Poor soul! I feel all the effort he must have made, and I hope he will have calmed down by now. It seems tome that if for no other reason, the irreproachable conduct of your son, his unfailing love and application to his studies and his desire to respond to his parents' sacrifices should be enough to console a father. I trust the baths will have done you good and that the autumn will finish restoring your health. The presence of my dear Guido will be a consolation to you; with his vivid imagination he will be casting his eyes from the shores of the Adriatic over that tempestuous Albanian sea where we were caught in a fierce squall last year which obliged us to put in for refuge at Corfu. I long to be able to come to spend a few days at La Carpegna: but I am not yet sure.
Your kind encouragements make me fly there: I am impatient to see all three of you: in any case I shall do everything possible to ensure that the Superior gives me permission. By hook or by crook I want to come to La Carpegna; and if all else fails, I am thinking of stealing the fortnight allowed as home-leave, and flying to the hills of Urbino and Macerata. My home, in Lombardy, on Lake Garda, has already had me last autumn, where I celebrated the Holy Missions. I have already had my father, the only thing which draws me home, to stay for 20 days in the College last July. So I hope to be able to arrange a quick run to S. Arcangelo, and along the S. Marina road, to climb the steep ascent to your hills. I am very well and very busy: apart from correspondence for the Missions, preaching and daily Arabic lessons, I have various philanthropic duties. Last week, by writing a letter to the Emperor of Austria, I was granted by God's grace to free two condemned prisoners who were innocent. Pray for me Countess: you have a permanent place in my prayers, in my heart. In the midst of my occupations the greatest comfort I have had was to receive your letters, the Count's, Guido's, Pippo's and Fr Luigi's. I receive letters from the four corners of the world nearly every day. I know there are many people who love me, especially in Verona. But my heart is permanently focused on the good Carpegna family, and I don't know why. Please remember
Your most affectionate Fr Daniel C.
Receive the regards of my Superior who prays for You.

"Jahresbericht des Vereines zur Unterstützung der armen Negerinnen" 12 (1062), pp. 46–48
Verona, 1 August 1862
Reverend Sir,
Divine Providence, who never abandons those who trust in her, saw to it that I should come to know of the existence in Cologne on the Rhine of a religious Society which sets out to promote and support the missionary task of redeeming, educating and instructing poor young Africans. Fr Lodovico da Casoria in Naples, as well as the President of the Society of Mary in Vienna, Dr Fr von Hurter, were the ones who brought this to my attention. After I had returned from Central Africa I was appointed to direct the department of the Mazza Institute in which African youths are brought up and educated.
Fifty years ago, Reverend Father Nicola Mazza (see fuller explanations in our annual report) founded an educational Institute for poor boys with outstanding talents and of proven morality, to form them as able priests for service in the Church or as capable men in human society. To this Institute was then added a second creation of Fr Mazza's, a house which was to be a refuge for young girls who, unprotected in human society, risked losing their innocence, so as to form them in every respect as able women in secular life. About 600 pupils are presently housed separately in these two Institutes. Neither of the two Institutes has any capital and Fr Mazza every day feels left to the mercy of divine Providence. In 1849, a third Institute was added to these, dedicated to mission work in Central Africa. He undertook the maintenance, upbringing and education of a certain number of young Africans rescued from slavery, with a view to using them in due course (in accordance with Fr Lodovico da Casoria's plan) for the conversion of their own countrymen in Africa.
At the moment, we only have 12 young Africans whom I rescued myself last year on the coast of Zanzibar (the East African coast) and in Aden. In addition we have 13 young African girls who were brought from Egypt. This African Institute has now been placed under my direction and administration. I hardly know how we survive from one day to the next, especially since in these unfortunate war years the sources of funds are running scarce everywhere. This is why I make bold with the utmost insistence to entreat the Presidency of the Society of Cologne to grant me new aid. I know of the great abundance with which each year it assists Fr Lodovico and Fr Olivieri, who are both friends of mine and with whom I have stayed in Naples, Rome and Egypt, and I now have to turn to their pious Society, because I am at present in deplorable straits.
In all events, before deeming me worthy of assistance, please be so kind as to seek information on my account from the President of the Society of Mary in Vienna, Dr von Hurter, from His Eminence Cardinal Barnabò, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda, or from Fr Lodovico, to whom I have already brought several young Africans, or from Fr Nicola Olivieri and the Pro-Vicar Fr Matteo Kirchner, with whom I have travelled to the heart of Africa as apostolic missionary.
May God hear my prayers, etc.

Apostolic Missionary
Director of the Mazza College for Africans

International Society for Infectious Diseases
Date: Wed 27 Oct 2010
Source: trib.com [edited]
According to the state veterinarian 3 cows from a northwest Wyoming
cattle herd have initially tested positive for brucellosis.
Dr Jim Logan said in a media release this morning [27 Oct 2010] his
agency was notified by the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory that
blood from the 3 cows reacted to tests for brucellosis. The cows are
from a single herd in Park County.
Brucellosis is a bacterial disease that can cause cattle, elk, and
bison to abort their calves.
Scientists believe the area around Yellowstone National Park in
northwest Wyoming contains the last remaining reservoirs of the
disease. The disease can be transmitted from wildlife to cattle.
(I believe it is the other way around, see wiki; Brucellosis in the Greater Yellowstone area:
"Wild bison and elk in the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) are the last remaining reservoir of Brucella abortus in the U.S. The recent transmission of brucellosis from cattle to elk in Idaho and Wyoming illustrates how brucellosis in domestic cattle around the GYA may negatively affect wildlife. Eliminating brucellosis from this area is a challenge, because these animals are on public land and there are many viewpoints involved in the management of these animals."
Logan said reactors on blood tests do not absolutely prove that
cattle are infected with brucellosis. However, Logan said the
reactors were very strong indicators that the likelihood of infection is high.
Tissue and blood samples were collected from the 3 cows and submitted
to the state lab for a full diagnostic evaluation. Tests results may
take up to 2 weeks to complete.
The presence of the disease within the herd -- if confirmed through
further testing -- could result in additional testing requirements
and strict adherence to quarantine procedures to keep Wyoming from
losing its federal brucellosis-free status.

Over the last couple of years there have been some significant public debates where the results have defied belief - at least, the beliefs of some people. We've had the Brexit vote, the election of Donald Trump to the US presidency and we are facing a similar debate in Australia over the same-sex marriage vote.
On both sides of all these, and numerous other debates, are two broad schools of argument. And when that happens, there's little chance of a coherent debate.
Last year, I had the opportunity to hear Andrew Macleod speak at a conference. Although Macleod was working in the corporate world then, he was formerly in the military and was involved in negotiations with the Taliban. One of the old axioms he maintained was that you never win a logical argument with emotion or an emotional argument with logic.
Let's think about that for a moment and look at the results of the Brexit vote and the last US presidential election.
Much of the rhetoric employed by the "Yes" vote for Britain to leave the UK and by the Trump campaign to win the election was not founded on evidence or data. I'm not saying there was none but the most powerful tool used by both of those campaigns was emotion - specifically fear in my view.
And there is a lesson that comes from those results.
Neither of the winning teams have been able to transform those emotion-powered victories into cogent plans that can be executed. Britain is still flailing, with the Conservative government struggling to find a way forward with their internal legislative agenda as well as progressing the Brexit plan.
And Trump's agenda is in tatters, having seen his centrepiece health policy shattered and his plan to build a wall across the country's border already looking shaky.
What both these actions show is that while you can be elected on emotion, you can't govern with it.
What does this mean for us?
I mentioned the same-sex marriage debate earlier. I've made my views on this plain. And I've copped a bit of flak for those views, mainly from conservative Christians although the odd atheist and agnostic has told me my Christian perspective is not relevant regardless of whether I vote yes or no.
It's taken me a couple of weeks but I think I've nailed down why people are struggling to understand each other on both sides of this debate.
Christians who intend to vote no (and I'm generalising a bit when I say this) feel that they are coming from a logical perspective. They see the words of scripture as a set of rules (or logic in their mind).
Then there are people who have a strong emotional view on whether or not same sex couples should be allowed to be legally married. And we have people who make a logical argument for same sex marriage.
So, we have people voting yes from an emotional perspective, no from an emotional perspective, yes from a logical perspective and no from a logical perspective.
In other words, it's not surprising we have a high degree of animosity being exhibited between some people. They are often arguing from extremely diverse points of view that can almost never be reconciled.
For example, how can someone who has the view that two men should never be legally married because they find it immoral (which is, I think, an emotional view) find common ground with someone who believes it makes sense legally for same sex couples to have exactly the same rights as heterosexual couples (and they don't by the way - ask any same-sex couple about who has control over life and death health decisions).
Wisdom from cinema
If we accept that people arguing from completely different positions are unlikely to find an avenue to civility, then something needs to change.
I recently re-watched the movie Creed. While wisdom rarely passes the lips of Rocky Balboa, when he was speaking to Adonis Creed he said something important. To paraphrase, he said you can't listen while you're talking. It's very difficult to listen, patiently, to someone you disagree with. But it's important.
All points of view in a civil debate deserve to be heard. Just because you disagree with someone doesn't make their view any less worth listening to. We can learn a lot by listening to contrary points of view rather than living in an echo chamber.
Whether you are discussing a controversial topic on the public agenda or evaluating a business case in the office it is important to listen to those who disagree with you.
In the movie World War Z, before Jerusalem is over-run by zombies, the city prepared itself. Despite the overwhelming conventional wisdom that a zombie apocalypse was impossible, the government had someone argue the contrary point of view, regardless of how silly it might seem, just in case.
By putting ourselves in the other party's shoes, regardless of how extreme that point of view might be, we can learn. This can help us better understand our own actions but also foster understanding that can lead to a more civil debate.

Before the internet, there were many ways for people to find your business. The Yellow Pages section of your phone book, television and radio advertising, billboards, and other roadway signs were staples of successfully marketing your business.
Some of those methods still work well for attracting your target market. In the 21st century though, people look for answers to their problems online much more than they do offline. This means you could spend a lot of money with "old school" advertising and marketing mediums, and realize very little of the prospects and customers you are looking for (and who are looking for you).
Today you have to keep internet search engines happy if you want a consistent flow of visitors who are looking for your products and services. Even if you run an offline business, your online marketing efforts, and this includes your website or blog, need to be found by the search engines.
What 2 important factors help search engines find your content and list it in their search results so that people can find your business when they are searching online?
They are:
1) Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
2) Keywords and Keyword Phrases
In the early days of the internet you could simply repeat a keyword over and over, and your web page or piece of content would rank high in search results for that particular word. As search engines evolved, they realized that this type of "keyword stuffing" resulted in poor content. Search engines changed their algorithms, as they do frequently, and SEO has also changed as a result.
In this course, you will discover the essentials of search engine optimization, of which keywords play an important part. Keep internet search engines happy by giving them what they want, and they will return the favor by making you happy with lots of targeted traffic to your web properties.
Upon completion of this course, you will have a firm understanding of:
At the end of each module, there are learning activities to complete.
These give you hands-on experience that will dramatically improve your understanding of the importance of keywords and search engine optimization for your online marketing success.

Hey, Way to go, Colorado!
First, I have to say that I'm sure there are those with the best of intentions behind the water laws of the west, and that probably even more good intentions went into the "legalizing of rain barrels" in Colorado. Well, sort of.
I don't get political, and I'm not trying to start now. As with so many political issues, there are differing sides of the same coin that have a hard time seeing it any other way, and so some sort of compromise must be reached to avoid gridlock. This compromise, for Colorado, appears to be officially making it legal for homeowners..
In May 2016 Governor John Hickenlooper signed a law (House Bill 16-1005) that allows residential properties and multifamily residences with four or fewer units to use up to two rain barrels, located above ground, with a combined storage capacity of 110 gallons. (from http://www.lot-lines.com/rain-barrels-no-longer-illegal-colorado/)
Unfortunately, this may have made it worse.
A step in the right direction? Yes, especially if getting 1 or 2 rain barrels inspires further change, like taking out turf, adding swales and earthwork to slow down runoff.. (not sure where this falls in the "illegal rainwater harvesting" arena, especially if you've already max'd out your 110 gallons…) The thing is, it seems that what was an obscure, never really identified or enforced law, is now very real and specific, and can even be removed..
the State Engineer "may curtail rain barrel usage" if a water right holder can prove that the use of rain barrels has impacted their ability to receive their entitled water.
"Entitled Water"
This could raise some questions as well, but the law is the law, and I digress.
More specific and to the point, if you live in almost any house in Colorado, these laws were probably put in place before your house was built. Unless your house is 130+ years old…
"Many appropriative water rights were created before state and territorial legislatures had enacted laws governing water use. The first appropriative water rights statute was enacted in California in 1872.(1) It allowed for creation of such rights by posting, at the point of diversion, a document stating the intended amount of the right and its purpose of use, filing for the right in the county recorder's office, and taking the necessary steps to"perfect" the right(put the water to beneficial use) with "due diligence." This procedure was not the exclusive method of creating water rights because California recognized both appropriative and riparian water rights. Other states also enacted early statutes governing appropriative water rights, requiring the posting of notice at the point of diversion. Colorado, Dakota Territory, New Mexico, Texas, and Wyoming enacted laws in the 1880's. (2)" Arizona, Nevada, and Oklahoma enacted laws in the 1890's. (3)"
— http://lawschool.unm.edu/nrj/volumes/29/2/03_johnson_survey.pdf
…Why is that relevant? Well, because chances are unless your house was built on solid rock, before that house was built at least a little more rainfall filtered into the ground on it's current footprint.
So by definition, any homeowner should be able to, nay, be Obligated to, capture the amount that had previously filtered into the ground where their house sits,
as long as they are doing just that with it: filtering it into the ground.
(Look out, I'm about to get all technical on you)
A quick ballpark calculation
If the coefficient of runoff (factor of how much rainfall runs off vs. how much infiltrates, the coefficient is basically the % that runs off for certain surface types and slopes) for a forest floor is 0.1 (see table link below ) -that is, 10% of rain that falls on a forest runs off, so 90% infiltrates), and a house roof has a coefficient of .95, and said house has approximately a 25' x 40' roof area (1,000 sq.ft.)…
coefficient values table: http://www.utdallas.edu/~brikowi/Teaching/Applied_Modeling/SurfaceWater/LectureNotes/Rational_Method/Runoff_Coefficient.html
Let's do the math for a 1" rain event.
Pretty much every rain barrel website out there in cyberspace will tell you that you get about 600 gallons from a 1,000 sf roof in 1" of rain. This number already figures in the coefficient, specifically 0.96 (1000 / 12 inches = 83.3 cu. ft x 7.48 (gal per cu.ft.) = 623 gallons, and 623 X .96 (coefficient of runoff) = 600 gallons.
If that same 1,000 sf area had a coefficient of 0.1 , then take that 623 gallons x 0.1 = 62 gallons.
When would that apply? Before your house was built, and when the water laws were enacted.
That means about 538 More gallons run off from your house now than what used to when the laws were put in place.
Call me crazy, but it seems to me that for every 1" of rainfall on any given house that was built after the prior appropriation water laws were established, that homeowner has a legal Obligation to capture the difference of 538 gallons (or the difference of any specific house and its equal land area runoff), as long as they do not remove it from the system, but slowly release the rainwater into the ground to infiltrate, the same as it had before the house was there.
Click the pic below to see the USGS explanation
For the above example, this could be easily accomplished by installing a 600 gallon rainwater reservoir and a 60 gallon 'first flush' settling tank. The settling tank basically has a slow leak, so it is empty for the next rainfall, and the large reservoir should be handled in a similar manner, slowly releasing automatically or a little every few days until it is empty, thus infiltrating and recharging groundwater. In doing so, water use and demand is reduced since irrigation needs are being fulfilled by the stored rainwater, and then the reservoir is ready for the next rain.
This could benefit the downstream "water right holder" more than they realize
See here's the thing about getting that water back into the ground: It flows underground, too! Just much slower, more controlled, and this is the root cause of most of our water problems:
There is a basic misunderstanding that we should pipe, channel, funnel, pump, or otherwise divert stormwater away from our homes, foundations, streets etc. (even most swimming pools are built to shed rainwater away, and out into surrounding lakes, streams, rivers, picking up every bit of "nonpoint source pollution" along the way.
The guys fighting against rain barrels have no idea that rainwater harvesting actually helps ensure a high groundwater table which, through natural springs, keep streams and rivers flowing more consistently, even when it doesn't rain.
Skip to the conclusion below to see what this amounts to each year, and tell me that wouldn't help fill the groundwater to overflowing.
I tend to ramble, so if you're a geek like me and want to continue on with the math/ coefficient stuff, read on. It's pretty dry though, and I'm not even sure I make a clear point here…. You were warned.
For the above example, any smaller or greater amount of rainfall than 1" will only err in favor of the "Water Laws," where a smaller total will not fill the reservoir completely but still fully fill the settling tank, increasing the percentage of immediate loss/ runoff that leaks from this tank.
Any greater amount will simply not be stored but will runoff, either from an overflow on the reservoir or an automatic bypass built into most well designed downspout diverters.
How far can he take this?
Of course, 1" isn't the magic number but simply an example used here, but the key is the relative size of the "first flush" settling tank to the main reservoir. (i.e. 62 gallons / 600 gallons, or the ratio of coefficients, 0.1 / 0.96 = ~ 0.104)
So legally, anyone who owns a house in a state that enforces this "seniority of water rights" is obligated to allow the original amount of runoff (coefficient of the pre-settlement land type), and to store and slow down the difference of coefficients (house vs. land), and should have a capacity based on the "average" rainfall for that area.
Now, one might deduce, as I almost did, that as long as the settling tank is 10% of the size of the main reservoir, that the bigger the better, and more accurate, right? Maybe close enough, and we will see how this can work, but it is not quite that simple.
Here's why: A 100 gallon reservoir would have a 10 gallon settling tank, which works out, especially with smaller amounts of rainfall. Compared to the 600 gallon/ 60 gallon example above, this is better when you get, say, 0.1" rainfall, where you would get 60 gallons of runoff from the 1,000 sf roof. All of this would go to the larger first flush, and none would reach the 600 gallon reservoir, whereas only 10 gallons would fill the smaller, and 50 gallons would half fill the 100 gallon tank.
You see this on a greater scale with something like a 1,000 or 2,000 gallon storage tank. In those cases, using the 10% "pre"settling tank, you would need 0.16 to .33" of rain just to fill the settling tank, and a 1" rainfall would fill the 600 gallon tank almost full, only produce 500 gallons, or 1/2 fill the 1,000 gallon and 400 gallon or 1/5 of the 2,000 gallon tank. Of course, where this is made up is when you get a 3" rain event, nicely filling the 2,000 gallon tank with 1,600 gallons. The others will fill and overflow, losing the excess. This greater capacity, in turn, would last through a longer dry spell, depending on the area of the landscape, garden or lawn to be irrigated.
One way around this would be to connect multiple "first flush" type settling tanks and reservoirs, and in this case the more, of smaller capacity, the more efficient the system (to a point – sorry if I seem to be splitting hairs here)…
Well, I went far enough down that rabbit hole, and the point it would seem is that there is a happy medium, most likely based on specific average rainfall and duration between rains. For most locations, I think we can assume that number for simplicity sake to be 1" of rainfall, and if you wanted to add more, just add another 60 gallon (or 10%) settling tank for each additional 600 gallon reservoir.
Yep, waaaaay too far.
Conclusion: If just one home of 1,000 sq. ft. catches, stores and uses 600 gallons of capacity of rainwater for each 1" of rainfall, and an average season sees 30", that is 18,000 gallons per year of reduced runoff (nonpoint source pollution of lakes & streams), + 18,000 gallons of reduced water demand and groundwater draw, +18,000 gallons of better irrigation water, producing healthier plants and local food production (plants greatly prefer rainwater to treated tap water).
How many homes could do this? And how much larger are most homes than 1,000 sq. ft.? That sounds like the subject for a future post…

Senior summits
July 17, 2003
These hikers tend to have a little more perspective.
They're not out to scratch the state's 54 14ers off their list in three weeks, and you probably won't catch them biking in between the peaks, either. They're probably not out to do Grand Slams, Triple Threats or any other macho trips. And they're definitely not about breaking records.
"The journey is our destination," said Annie Mae Pierce of Greeley.
Pierce is 80. Her husband, Lowel, is 81. They're just glad to be up on a hiking trail at all. Most seniors are, in fact. If you hit the hiking trails enough, you'll probably see one or two. Or maybe more than that.
Hiking, perhaps more than any other sport, doesn't seem to hinge on the age of the participants.
That doesn't mean it's easy. Many seniors say they are slower than they once were.

They also say they may be more prone to injuries.
But it doesn't mean they're not afraid to try even the largest mountains. Pierce has a brother in Lakewood who is 74. He climbs 14ers every year.
"When I turned 75, I noticed my age was more of a factor," Pierce said. "My husband has a bit of a heart problem, but we can still do a lot. You just have to listen to your body."
In 1996, the two took a trip to Nepal and hiked 100 miles during a 10-day period. Pierce also goes on five hikes a year with the Greeley Senior Activity Center. The center organizes hikes around the state for seniors.
In fact, Pierce didn't start hiking until she retired in 1987. Up until then, the couple was too busy as the owners of a medical laboratory in Greeley and the parents of five children.
With the children raised and the business sold, Pierce and her husband have been hiking for 15 years, many of them with the senior center. The group has existed for at least 10 years.
"It's not one of our huge programs," said Carrie Fehringer, recreation coordinator for the senior center. "But we would like it to be."
The hikes attract from six to 10 people a trip. They aren't more than six miles round trip. The reasons for that probably aren't limited to seniors.
"Their feet get really sensitive," Fehringer said, "and they get really hot."
Seniors are one of the larger groups in Rocky Mountain National Park, and they're not just there to look at elk and wildflowers.
"We've got a lot of senior volunteers here in the park year-round, and they hike in the park all the time," said Kyle Patterson, spokeswoman for the park. "We've also seen a lot of older folks in Estes Park who want to have an active retirement instead of other options."
It doesn't mean seniors can only do smaller hikes either. The oldest person, on record, to climb Longs Peak, one of the more strenuous mountains in Colorado, was 85. He climbed it on Sept. 2, 1926, the day of his 85th birthday.
Many hikers find that seniors have the experience to lead them out of tough situations. Al Ossinger, who lives in the Denver area, is 71, and he's led dozens of trips for the Colorado Mountain Club. He climbed his 400th 14er in September, including repeat ascents, and has climbed all of the state's 14ers at least three times.
Ossinger emptied his first-aid kit on Mount Bierstadt, one of the more popular 14ers in the state, last year. He helped two groups with altitude sickness, gave another woman some food and even helped a dog with cut paws.
He's starting to feel his age, and yet he refuses to quit, although, for a while, he doesn't have any choice but to stop hiking. He broke his right ankle on a mountain just a of couple weeks ago. It's the first time he's broken something.
Hey, Ossinger's carried plenty of people out, so he earned his trip down the mountain.
"I think I sort of saw this thing coming," he said, chuckling. "I think my bones are more brittle now. I felt age creeping up on me. I like going at a slower pace and being more careful now."
Ossinger has learned to listen to himself even though he still loves to hike. He may not do another 14er again. He definitely won't do the edgy ones most won't even attempt, including the Crestones, the Wilsons and Little Bear.
"I sort of picture them and say, `I don't think I want to do them again,' " he said.
Richard Burns, 73, is quite the opposite. He's fallen more in love with the tougher mountains, such as 14ers, as he's grown older. Of course, there's a reason for that, too.
Her name is Lorraine. She was his wife of 47 years.
Burns was 63 when he started hiking. He lived most of his life in New Jersey. They don't have many mountains there. The couple moved out here because Lorraine fell in love with the mountains. She died two years ago.
"I hiked around Rocky Mountain National Park while she walked around Bear Lake," he said.
He loves the scenery. He loves the grandeur of it all. He also loves the challenge. He still runs half-marathons.
"You walk around a corner, and it's so beautiful," Burns said. "Then you walk around another corner, and it's so beautiful."
It reminds him of his wife. It's why he does it, he decided recently. It's also why he climbs 14ers.
"It's something I try to do at least once a year," he said.
After all, he remembers her every day.

Judging solely from the amount of time international organizations—like the United Nations and the Holy See—have been devoting to it, human trafficking appears to be an another example of the old observation "their hearts in the right place, but their minds are in the wrong place."
Consider the United Nations. Recently, it declared the moral equivalent of a global war against human trafficking. Yet, this is nothing new, despite the mainstream media's interest in promoting it:
- Efforts to ban the practice in the late-19th century concluded in 1901 when an international convention adopted the "International Agreement for the Suppression of White Slave Traffic. That didn't work.
- The League of Nations' tried again in 1921, issuing its International Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Women and Children. Exactly the same outcome.
- The UN then issued its Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and Exploitation of Prostitution of Others in 1949. More of the same.
- Then again, in 1964, the UN issued its Convention on Consent to Marriage, Minimum Age for Marriage, and Registration of Marriages.
Even the Holy See appears to be smitten with this misguided notion. For example, the Holy Father met with the Archbishop of Canterbury a couple of weeks back. According to the Independent, the two agreed to:
- a joint project that will utilize the global reach of their churches to combat the global trade in human trafficking;
- pressure 50 top multinational companies to free their supply chains of forced labor by 2020; and,
- "slavery proof" investments as well as the purchases of churches.
With more than one century's worth of white papers, jetting here and there to convene high-level conferences, international agreement after international agreement, the question is: What's there to show for the effort? The evil has grown into a $150B+ global industry that Kevin Bales in his 2004 book, Disposable People, estimated to involve 27M human slaves. Today, some believe it's 35M.
So much for caring. It doesn't win global wars.
Given these facts, when it comes to global trafficking in human beings, the left's outrage de jour and #hashtag diplomacy isn't just mindless. It's also insincere. Sincere people would have been marching on the White House as far back as 2012 when President Obama bypassed Congress and stopped the certain deportation of illegal aliens. Instead, the President granted work permits to ~800k younger illegal aliens.
That policy opened the floodgates for an unprecedented number of illegal alien children to be imported into the United States. The facts:
- In FY 2013, Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement (HHS-ORR) served ~24.7k children, almost double the ~13.63k from the previous year.
- In FY 2014, ~60k children are expected to come to the United States. Most will be from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. That's a 243% increase!
This iteration of the global war on human trafficking is doomed to failure. Fueled by their hearts and not by their minds, the very people who decry human trafficking can't seem to figure out whose policies sent an open invitation for human traffickers to practice their trade in the left's own front yard…at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The week after taking a Thanksgiving tumble against the University of Texas, the defending national champions from Texas A&M fell to sixth in the final college football poll of Dec. 3, 1940. Following another embarrassingly bad season in 1936, the University of Texas fired its 20th coach in 44 years. Instead of the usual cheap fix, the board of regents spent the big bucks to hire a gridiron genius. At an annual salary of $15,000, Dana Xenophon Bible stood to make nearly twice as much as the college president until the legislature smoothed the educator's ruffled feathers with a hefty pay hike. When it came to teaching x's and o's, baldheaded Bible was in a league of his own. He won 72, lost 19, tied nine and captured five Southwest Conference titles in 11 seasons at Texas A&M. Leaving College Station for the Corn Belt, the pigskin mastermind added half a dozen Big Six championships to his collection during an eight-year stay at Nebraska.

Lucrative small businesses can rapidly go out of business if they lack money. Likewise, unprofitable unprof small companies can be survived for a long time if they have a good cash balance. Simply puts, money is the life blood of American small companies.
Small Business Loans in Coker, Alabama
Naturally, when times are tough, failure to get capital to pay everyday operating expenses frequently becomes a source of worry, anxiety and interruption for small company owners.
In these cases, many small business owners think about looking for short-term funding.
Small Business Loans in Coker, Alabama
Unfortunately, most of huge city and small town conventional lending institutions have stiff and stringent criteria that their customers need to fulfill.
Because of this, there is four particular functions that are required by those seeking service financing.
Easy credit approval:
Businesses have a different credit ranking from business owner. Even if the business owner has a high credit history, business might not have a recognized credit rating (specifically if freshly established). For that reason, prospective loan providers need to provide options with that take the business owner's individual credit into consideration and that accepts applicants with less than ideal credit.
Quick Financing Time:
Normally, when a service is seeking out a loan, they have operating costs that they have to have the ability to pay within the next 7-14 days (such as payroll and suppliers). As such, loans that take weeks to be authorized and finances simply aren't appropriate to most businesses needs
No Red Tape:
Numerous traditional loan providers needs months of bank declarations and years of tax returns to be able to process a loan application. While this may not be a big deal to a reputable company, it's not very practical for a brand-new business that has actually been in business for 6 months to a year
Small Business Friendly:
Usually, physical loan providers only service businesses doing 20k or more in monthly income. This disqualifies smaller sized services doing 10k-15k in month-to-month revenue.
Because of the rigorous previously mentioned credentials criteria enforced by conventional loan providers, increasingly more company owner are relying on the myriad of online loaning services now available to small business owners in Coker, Alabama.
GoTorro Small Business Loans supplies quick financing in as low as 48 hours, of amounts varying from $10,000 – $500,000 to borrowers that meet the following basic qualification requirements:
500+ FICO Score
6+ Months in Business
10k+ Monthly Revenue
No security, No bank statements, No Financials, No Tax Returns, and no credit recommendations are needed.

Among the things often said of Ron Carter — that he's one of the most influential and widely recorded bassists in history, a distinguished professor of music, a multiple Grammy winner and a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master — there's one that may not be said often enough. The man knows how to wear a suit.
Mr. Carter, 79, recently confirmed this fact in the holiday issue of GQ Style, appearing in a fashion spread along with peers like the pianists McCoy Tyner, 78, and Herbie Hancock, 76. The images, dramatic and au courant, underscore a long-held truth that bears repeating: In jazz, it's standard practice not only to survive but to thrive, with style, in the late phases of a career. In many cases it's possible to access deeper currents of poise and insight, creating work that couldn't have happened without such a wealth of experience.
This year was especially full of vital, often magisterial statements by jazz musicians of a certain age. One of the finest jazz albums of 2016 was "The Declaration of Independence," a culmination and an advance for the drummer Andrew Cyrille, who is now 77. The most transfixing performance I saw was by one of Mr. Cyrille's former associates, the 87-year-old pianist and free-jazz lodestar Cecil Taylor, as part of his residency at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Also in an avant-garde vein, the alto saxophonist, flutist and composer Henry Threadgill won the Pulitzer Prize for music in the spring, the same month that he released a stern but enveloping new album, "Old Locks and Irregular Verbs." Anthony Braxton, another saxophonist and composer in his early 70s, was an eminent draw at the Big Ears Festival.
Big Ears attendees also got to see the Sun Ra Arkestra, led by the nonagenarian saxophonist Marshall Allen, and a set by the trumpeter-composer Wadada Leo Smith drawing from one of his two superserious recent albums. (He turns 75 this month.) Meanwhile, the composer, pianist and arranger Carla Bley, 80, shepherded the release of both her own refined trio album and a posthumous grace note by Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra, which she leads in his memory. (The pianist Geri Allen will fill in as its conductor at NYC Winter Jazzfest, on Jan. 10 at Le Poisson Rouge.)
At the same time, there were strong, unassuming albums rooted in a consensus modern-jazz language, notably from the tenor saxophonists Benny Golson, 87, and George Coleman, 81. The pianist Randy Weston, at 90, had his archives acquired by Harvard, even as he released a grand new suite. And the honest work continued for bebop sages like the pianist Barry Harris, who just turned 87, the singer Sheila Jordan, 88, and the saxophonist Jimmy Heath, who celebrated 90 in the fall.
Jazz is an art of living traditions and accumulated wisdom, so it's only natural that its elders remain central to the conversation. Extolling their ongoing relevance doesn't take anything away from younger musicians. Instead, it emphasizes continuity, one of the most important values in what we call the jazz tradition. There is still no way to become a serious jazz artist without some formative contact across generations: It's how the language best survives, even in an age of encyclopedic access.
At least in this regard, there's reason to draw a contrast between jazz and other genres, some of which have strained to accommodate the aging of its artists and audience. You can be a young rapper on the rise without a deep and obsessive knowledge of the hip-hop pantheon. (It's probably helpful not to have it, actually.) What it means to be a hip-hop elder statesman, meanwhile, is still open to review. Emeritus status and crossover celebrity, as embodied by Ice-T? Genial avuncularity, as embodied by Snoop Dogg? Torchbearing rectitude, as practiced by Rakim and others, who have found traction as oldies acts?
Rakim is 48, a year older than Jay Z, whose most visible recent turn in the spotlight was as the offending catalyst for Beyoncé's "Lemonade." The ruthless cycle of obsolescence in hip-hop is all the more reason to marvel at this year's great comeback album, "We Got It From Here ... Thank You 4 Your Service" by A Tribe Called Quest.
At once an urgent political broadside and a memorial to one of its own (the rapper Phife Dawg, who died in March), it's an album that refuses nostalgia without revoking a well-defined group identity. It seems pertinent that Q-Tip, Tribe's incisive frontman and chief producer, has long had an available model for how to stay fresh in the face of artistic maturity: seasoned jazz musicians like Mr. Carter, who played a bass line on A Tribe Called Quest's 1991 breakthrough, "The Low End Theory."
Tangibly, the Rolling Stones recently rediscovered a similar liberation in the blues. Their loose but committed new album, "Blue & Lonesome," is a fascinating study, the product of a bunch of old guys catching up to the cranky enthusiasms of their youth. The Stones also played Desert Trip, the music festival and demographic ritual known as "Oldchella." Their fellow headliners, also in their 70s, included Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Roger Waters and a new Nobel laureate, Bob Dylan.
Most of these aging rock lions have stayed active, on tour if not in the studio. Another, Paul Simon, released a frisky, inventive new album this year, hinting it might be his last. Still, with the dignified exception of Leonard Cohen, who wrote his own epitaph, none of these boomer heroes have been doing work comparable to that in their primes. Given the choice, any Oldchella ticket-holder would have swapped out the roster for previous versions of the same, beamed in from the early '70s.
Fans of Loretta Lynn and Willie Nelson would probably make that trade, too, though Nashville will always profess at least a ceremonial respect for its elders and saints. "My Church," a tune by this year's anointed upstart, Maren Morris, makes that point explicit, calling out Hank Williams and Johnny Cash. Some jazz musicians have been known to celebrate those same heroes: The guitarist John Scofield, 64, just received a Grammy nomination for his album "Country for Old Men."
Jazz culture is often accused of fixating on the past. Most of its venerable figures have yielded to those pressures, engaging in re-enactments and tributes. The pianist Eddie Palmieri did one of these around his 1971 album "Harlem River Drive," this spring, when he was still 79. Another pianist, Chick Corea, evoked moments from his past during an eight-week stand at the Blue Note Jazz Club, for his 75th birthday.
But Mr. Palmieri has also kept his fires burning in a present tense, much like the great Cuban pianist Chucho Valdés, who is 75. And Mr. Corea crowded his club residency with springboards for discovery, mobilizing both longtime associates, like the vibraphonist Gary Burton, and newer ones, like the drummer Marcus Gilmore.
The sly magic of someone like Mr. Corea — or Mr. Valdés, or Mr. Hancock, who this summer gave a tantalizing taste of Afro-futurist fusions to come — is that his powers are undiminished even as the years tick by. What keeps any jazz players of this stature from slipping into irrelevance is a convergence of lived experience and energetic dialogue with their inheritors. This is true of the drummer Jack DeJohnette, the saxophonist and flutist Charles Lloyd, the trumpeter Tom Harrell and the pianist Kenny Barron, who all released fine albums of intergenerational reach. It's also true of the saxophonist Wayne Shorter, who was a guest of honor, with his younger rhythm team, on the new album by Norah Jones.
And of course it's true of Mr. Carter, who played on albums in 2016 with a soulful peer, the tenor saxophonist Houston Person, as well as artists who grew up listening to him, like the pianist Ethan Iverson and the trumpeter Jeremy Pelt. Hearing their efforts, the urge is to applaud their devotion to the art form. But you could also imagine how they'll pose for their photo shoot in 30 years.
