The British Council The British Council was very pleased to be able to support Townfield Primary School in their joint curriculum project with School 325 in St Petersburg.  Last year they were successful in their application for a grant on one of our programmes funded by the Department for Education and Skills which helped them take their students to visit School 325. We were delighted that Michael Hughes, from Townfield Primary School was able to speak at our 2006 Conference on Educational Co-operation with Russia and share the details of the project and the logistics of taking Year 6 students to St Petersburg with other primary schools. This book is a wonderful legacy for the project and will be of benefit to school children in both countries for many years to come.

Foreword The publication of In a Kingdom Far Away ... is a highly commendable effort on the part of the pupils of Townfield Primary School in Wirral and School 325 in St Petersburg to bring together the ideas of youngsters living in two of the world's most important countries. To understand each other's histories and cultures is a major stepping-stone towards our living together comfortably in harmony and peace. It is most important that young people in each of our countries get to know each other, understand and respect each other's way of living, and come to respect, also, how much we have in common. This initiative it to be applauded and should serve as a model for similar developments by other schools in Britain and Russia.

Предисловие Вот уже несколько лет крепнет дружба между школой №325 Санкт – Петербурга и Townfield Primary School. За это время мы успели обменяться визитами, находимся в интенсивной переписке и приступили к новому этапу наших отношений. Русские дети пересказали на английском языке и проиллюстрировали свои любимые сказки. Все эти сказки сопутствуют нашим детям с младенческого возраста, отражают истинно русские явления быта, обычаи и традиции. Мы будем очень рады, если они найдут своих читателей среди английских школьников. Хочется добавить, что у истоков нашего сотрудничества стоял координатор проекта мистер Майкл Хьюз при поддержке директора школы миссис Кейт Ли, а русским детям помогали в переписке, выборе тем и оформлении сказок учителя петербургской школы Мжень А.С.,МалышеваТ.М., Андреева М.А. при содействии директора школы Рогозиной О.Б. Мы надеемся на дальнейшее сотрудничество наших детей и учащихся обеих школ и постараемся найти новые формы взаимоотношений. The friendship between School 325 in St Petersburg and Townfield Primary School has grown stronger over a number of years. During this time we have taken part in exchanges and our pupils have corresponded with each other regularly. This book marks a new step in our partnership. Our children re-told and illustrated their favourite fairy tales. They have grown up with these stories from a very early age. These stories reflect our way of life, culture and traditions. We hope that British children will learn to appreciate and enjoy them. We would like to thank Michael Hughes for initiating and co-ordinating the project and the school's Head Teacher Mrs Kate Lee for her continued support. We would also like to extend our thanks to the following teachers of our school: Mzhen A.S., Malisheva T.M., Andreeva M.A., who, with the support of their Head Teacher Rogozhina O.B., helped the children with the translation and illustration of the fairy tales. We have high hopes for future collaborations between the pupils of our two schools and look forward to finding new ways of strengthening our partnership.
Introduction This book is the result of work carried out by pupils in School 325 in St Petersburg, Russia and pupils of Townfield Primary School in Wirral, England. The two schools have been partners since 2001 and this collection of Russian folk tales is our first joint curriculum project. By working together on this book, we hoped that we would manage not only to make our respective curricula more meaningful to our pupils but also to enhance our pupils' respect for and understanding of each other's culture. We believe that, as the world becomes more fragmented and torn apart by differences, friendship between our two countries needs to be strong. Both schools would like to thank the British Council for funding this project. Townfield Primary School would also like to thank Linda Evans for her help with the artwork, Guy Woodland for his support with the publication and Vyacheslav and Natalia Yachnikov for helping to establish our partnership with School 325 in St Petersburg. We feel privileged to be linked to School 325, St Petersburg and hope that this partnership continues to grow, bringing benefits to many more of our pupils in years to come.

The Frog Princess В некотором царстве, в некотром государстве жил-был царь. Было у царя три сына ... In days gone by there was a king who had three sons. When his sons came to the correct age, the king called to them and said, "My lads, I want you to get married so that I may see your little ones, my grandchildren, before I die." His sons replied, "Very well then, give us your blessing. Tell us who you want us to marry." "Each of you must take an arrow, go into the green meadow and shoot it. Wherever the arrow falls, there you will find your destiny." So the sons bowed to their father, took an arrow and went to the beautiful green meadow. They drew their bows and let their arrows fly. The arrow of the eldest son fell in the yard of a nobleman, where the nobleman's daughter picked it up. The arrow of the middle son fell in the yard of a merchant and the merchant's daughter picked it up. But the arrow of the youngest son, Ivan, flew up, up and away. He didn't know where to begin looking. The youngest son walked for hours on end in search of the arrow. At last he found it in a marsh, where a frog had picked it up. "Frog, give me back my arrow," he said. But the frog replied, "Marry me!" "How can I? You're a frog!" Prince Ivan was disappointed, but what could he do? He picked up the frog and took it home. The king celebrated three weddings. The eldest son married the nobleman's daughter, the middle son married the merchant's daughter and poor Prince Ivan married the frog.
One day the king called his sons and said, "I want to see which of your wives is the most skilled with a needle. Let them each sew me a shirt by tomorrow morning." The three sons bowed to their father and went out. Prince Ivan went home and sat in the corner, looking very sad. The frog hopped about on the floor and asked, "Why are you so sad, Prince Ivan? Are you in trouble?" "My father wants you to sew him a shirt by tomorrow morning!" But the frog replied gently, "Don't be so downhearted, Prince Ivan, go to bed. Remember that night is the mother of change." So Prince Ivan went to bed, while the frog hopped out on to the doorstep, cast off her frog skin and turned into Vasilisa the Wise, a maiden fair beyond compare. She clapped her hands and cried, "Maids and nurses get ready, work steady! By tomorrow morning sew me a shirt like the ones my father used to wear!" When Prince Ivan awoke the next morning, the frog was hopping about on the floor again. Amazingly, on the table, wrapped up in a linen towel, lay a beautiful shirt. Prince Ivan was delighted, so he picked up the shirt and took it to his father. He found the king receiving gifts from his other two sons. When the eldest son laid out his shirt the king said, "This shirt will do for one of my servants." When the middle son laid out his shirt the king said, "This shirt is only good for the bath house." Prince Ivan lay out his shirt, handsomely embroidered in gold and silver. The king took one look at it and exclaimed, "Now this is a shirt, indeed! I shall wear it on the best occasions." The two elder brothers went home. "It seems as though we laughed at Prince Ivan's wife for nothing," they whispered to each other. "It looks like she is not a frog but a witch." Again, the king called his sons. "Let your wives bake me bread by tomorrow morning," he commanded. "I want to know which one cooks the best." Prince Ivan came home looking very sad again. "Why are you so sad, prince?" asked the frog.
"My father wants you to bake him some bread by tomorrow morning," replied her husband. "Don't be downhearted, Prince Ivan, go to bed. Night is the mother of change." Now the other daughters-in-law, who had made fun of the frog at first, this time sent an old hen wife to see how the frog baked her bread. But the frog was cunning and guessed what they were up to, so she kneaded the dough, broke the top off the stove and emptied the mixture into the hole. The old hen wife ran back to the other wives and told them what she had seen and the wives did exactly what the frog had done. Then the frog hopped out onto the doorstep, turned into Vasilisa the Wise, clapped her hands and cried, "Maids and nurses get ready, work steady! By tomorrow morning bake me a soft white loaf like the ones I ate when I lived at home."
Prince Ivan woke up in the morning, and there on the table he saw a loaf of bread with all kinds of pretty designs on it. On the sides were quaint figures, royal cities with walls and gates. Prince Ivan was ever so pleased. He wrapped the loaf up in a linen towel and took it to his father. Just then the king was receiving the loaves from his elder sons. Their wives had dropped the dough into the fire, just as the old hen wife had told them, and it came out as a lump of charred dough. The king took the loaf from his eldest son, looked at it and sent it to the servants' hall. But when Prince Ivan handed in his loaf, the king said, "Now that is what I call bread! It is fit to be eaten only on a special occasion." And the king bade his sons come to his feast the next day and bring their wives with them. Prince Ivan came home grieving again. The frog jumped up and said "Why are you so sad, Prince Ivan? Has your father said anything unkind to you?" "My dear frog, how can I help being sad? Father wants me to bring you to his feast but how can you appear before people as my wife?"
"Don't be downhearted, Prince Ivan" said the frog. "Go to the feast alone and I will come later. When you hear a knocking and a banging, don't be afraid. If people ask, just say it's your dear little frog, riding in her box." So Prince Ivan went to the feast alone. His elder brothers arrived with their wives, their hair and make-up perfectly done, and dressed in fine clothes. His brothers stood there and teased Prince Ivan. "Why did you not bring your wife? You could have brought her in a handkerchief. Where did you find such a beauty? You must have searched all the swamps for her!" The king, his sons, his daughters-in-law and the guests sat down to feast at the oak table covered in fine cloth. Suddenly there was a knocking and a banging that made the whole palace shake. The guests jumped up in fright, but Prince Ivan said, "Don't be afraid. It is only my dear little frog, riding in her box." Just then a beautiful carriage drawn by six white horses dashed up to the palace door. Out of it stepped Vasilisa the Wise, in a dress of sky blue silk strewn with stars and a shining moon upon her head, a maiden as fair as the sky at dawn, the fairest maiden ever born. She took Prince Ivan by the hand and led him to the oak tables with the handsome cloths on them. The guests began to eat, drink and be merry. Vasilisa the Wise drank from her glass and emptied the dregs into her left sleeve. Then she ate some swan meat and emptied the bones into her right sleeve. The wives of the elder princes saw her do this and so they did the same. When the eating and drinking were over, the time came for dancing. Vasilisa the Wise took Prince Ivan and skipped off with him. She whirled round the dance floor. Everybody who watched was gob smacked. She waved her left arm and a lake appeared. She waved her right arm and white swans began to swim on the lake. The king and his guests were struck with wonder.
Then the other daughters-in-law went to dance. They waved one sleeve, but splashed wine over the guests; they waved the other, but only scattered bones. One bone even hit the king right on the forehead. The king flew into a rage and drove both daughters-in-law away. Meanwhile, Prince Ivan slipped out and ran home. There he found the frog skin and threw it into the fire. When Vasilisa the Wise came home, she looked for the frog skin, but she could not find it. She sat down on a bench, sorely grieved, and said to Prince Ivan, "Ah, Prince Ivan, what have you done? Had you waited three more days, I would have been yours forever. But now, farewell. Seek me beyond the Thrice-Nine Lands, in the Thrice-Ten Kingdoms, where Koshchei the Deathless dwells." Vasilisa the Wise then turned herself into a grey cuckoo and flew out of the window. Prince Ivan wept long and hard, then bowed down in all four directions and went forth, he knew not where, to seek his wife, Vasilisa the Wise. How long he walked is hard to say, but his boots were worn down at the heels, his tunic was worn out at the elbows, and his cap became battered by the rain. By and by he met a little man as old as old can be. "Good day, my lad," said the little old man. "Where are you going and what are you looking for?" Prince Ivan told him about his troubles. "Ah, but why did you burn the frog skin Prince Ivan?" asked the little man. "It was not yours to keep or throw away. Vasilisa the Wise was born wiser than her father and that made him so angry he changed her into a frog for three years. Ah, well it cannot be helped now. Take this ball of yarn and follow it, without fear, wherever it rolls." Prince Ivan thanked the little old man and followed the ball of yarn wherever it rolled. In an open field he met a bear. Prince Ivan took aim and was about to kill it, but the bear spoke to him in a human voice. "Do not kill me, Prince Ivan, for you may need me someday."
So Prince Ivan decided to spare the bear its life and went on further. Suddenly he saw a drake, flying overhead. He took aim with his bow, but the drake said in a human voice, "Do not kill me, Prince Ivan, for you may have need of me someday." So Prince Ivan spared the drake and moved on. Shortly afterwards a hare came by. Again Prince Ivan snatched his bow to shoot it, but the hare said in a human voice, "Do not kill me, Prince Ivan, for you may have need of me someday." So he spared the hare and moved on until he came to the blue sea and saw a pike lying on the sandy beach, gasping for breath. "Ah, Prince Ivan," said the pike, "take pity on me and throw me back into the blue sea." Prince Ivan threw the pike back into the sea and carried on walking along the shore. By and by the ball of yarn rolled into a forest, and there stood a little hut on hens' feet, turning round and round. "Little hut, little hut, turn your back to the trees and your face to me please" said Prince Ivan.
The hut turned its face to Prince Ivan and its back to the trees. Prince Ivan walked in and there, sitting in the corner, was Baba Yaga, the witch, with a broom and a wooden bucket; a bony hag with a nose like a snag. When she saw him, Baba Yaga said, "Ugh, ugh! Russian blood, never met by me before, now I smell it at my door... Who comes here? Where from? Where to?" "You might give me meat, drink and a steam bath before asking questions," retorted Prince Ivan. So Baba Yaga gave him a steam bath, gave him meat and drink, and put him to bed. When he woke up Prince Ivan told her he was seeking his wife, Vasilisa the Wise. "I know, I know," said Baba Yaga. "Your wife is now in the power of Koshchei the Deathless. It will be hard for you to get her back. Koshchei is more than a match for you. The only way to kill him is by breaking the point of a needle, but the needle you need is in an egg; the egg is in a duck; the duck is in a hare; the hare is in a stone casket; the casket is at the top of a tall oak tree, which Koshchei the Deathless guards as if it were the apple of his eye."
Prince Ivan spent the night at Baba Yaga's and in the morning she showed him the way to the tall oak tree. How long he walked it is hard to say, but eventually he came to the tall oak tree with the stone casket at the top of it. But it was too hard to reach. Suddenly, up came the bear whose life he had spared, and pulled the tree out, roots and all. Down fell the casket and it broke open. Out of the casket sprang a hare, which scampered off as fast as it could. The other hare, whose life Prince Ivan had spared, gave chase, caught it and tore it to bits. Out of the dead hare flew a duck, which shot high into the sky. But straight away the drake whose life Prince Ivan had spared was after it. The duck dropped the egg, which fell down into the deep blue sea. But the pike whose life Prince Ivan had spared swam up with the egg in its mouth. Prince Ivan broke the egg, took the needle out and set about breaking the point off. The more he bent it, the more Koshchei the Deathless writhed and screamed, but all in vain. Eventually, Prince Ivan broke off the point of the needle and Koshchei fell down dead. Prince Ivan went to Koshchei's white stone palace. Vasilisa the Wise came running out to meet him and kissed him deeply. Prince Ivan and Vasilisa the Wise went back to their own home and lived in peace and happiness to a ripe old age.
The Coloured Fox Пошёл Михаило Потапыч в лес черникой лакомиться ... Once upon a time there lived a bear called Mikhailo. One day he went to the forest for bilberries. When he was fed up of bilberries he began to eat blackberries. Suddenly, from out of nowhere a hedgehog appeared. "Mikhailo, are you eating blackberries?" asked the hedgehog. "Yes. And bilberries too," answered Mikhailo. "Are they tasty?" questioned the hedgehog. "Yes. They're delicious. They're my favourite," replied Mikhailo. "Do you know that a thief has broken into your house?" asked the hedgehog. "A thief? Help!" cried Mikhailo. "Catch the thief, catch him!" "What? Where is he?" said the wolf, who decided to help.
"Don't let the thief get away!" shouted the bear. "Don't worry, Mikhailo. He won't come back," said the hedgehog. The frightened fox ran into the first house he saw. He began running from one side of the room to the other, jumping from the floor to a chair, leaping from the chair to a table. The fox crashed into a shelf with paint pots, which came tumbling down on top of him. He was covered in paint. When the fox went outside, the dog ran away. The cat hissed and hid. The fox was surprised. Then he saw his face reflected in a puddle. At first he was scared because he didn't know who was looking back at him. Then he thought that the animals would fear him in his new disguise. When the bear saw the fox he trembled with fear. "Who are you?" asked the wolf and the bear at the same time. "Me? I am called The Cunning One," explained the fox. "I have travelled many miles just to be in charge of this little forest and those that live in it," added the fox, mockingly. "This Cunning One looks a lot like that thief, the fox!" the hedgehog pointed out to the hare. So the fox in his new disguise began to live in Mikhailo's log cabin. He began to boss the animals about, demanding tasty food from them. All the animals worked for him. The hare brought him her best carrot. But the fox still felt quite hungry and thought of an idea. "Have you got any children?" he asked the hare. "I have three," the hare said proudly.
"Are they healthy?" asked the fox, licking his lips. "Yes, they are healthy, plump and happy," answered the hare. "Bring them to me in the morning," commanded the fox with a smirk. "I am going to eat them!" Suddenly the hare began to cry. The hedgehog saw that the hare was crying, so he whispered something to her, a plan to catch the fox out. They decided to lead the fox to a small bridge, which had a broken plank. In the morning, the fox went across the small bridge. When the fox reached the broken plank he suddenly fell into the river. The fox got washed in the river and everybody knew that The Cunning One was the fox. "Get the thief!" cried Mikhailo. "Catch him!" shouted the wolf and the bear. In the end they caught the fox. The hedgehog hugged the hare and said "never trust an animal if it looks strange."
The Speckled Hen Жили-были старик со старухой .. Once upon a time there was a wrinkly old man and woman. They had a speckled hen, which was fluffy like a teddy bear. One day she laid an egg for them. It was not an ordinary egg, but a golden one. The old man tried bashing the egg, but no matter how hard he struck it, he could not break the egg. The old woman struck the egg but she could not break it either. Suddenly, a little mouse ran quickly past them and with a swish of its tail knocked the egg over. The egg fell down and smashed. The old man started weeping and the old woman wept too. The hen came slowly up to them and said, "Don't weep, granny. Don't weep! I will lay another egg for you. Only this time it won't be a golden egg but an ordinary one."
The Enormous Turnip Посадил старик репку ... Once upon a time, an old man planted a turnip. It grew larger and larger. Eventually, the time came for the old man to pull the turnip out. He grabbed hold of it and yanked, but couldn't pull it out. He shouted for his wife to come out and help. The old man grabbed hold of the turnip and the old woman grabbed hold of the old man. They pulled and pulled, but nothing happened. The old woman then called their granddaughter. The old man grabbed hold of the turnip, the old woman grabbed hold of the old man and the granddaughter grabbed hold of the old woman. They yanked and yanked, but couldn't pull it out. The granddaughter called Zhuchka, their pet dog. The old man grabbed hold of the turnip, the old woman grabbed hold of the old man, the granddaughter grabbed hold of the old woman and Zhuchka grabbed hold of the granddaughter. Together they pulled and pulled, but still it wouldn't come out. Zhuchka then called the cat. The old man grabbed hold of the turnip, the old woman grabbed hold of the old man, the granddaughter grabbed hold of the old woman, Zhuchka grabbed hold of the granddaughter and the cat grabbed hold of Zhuchka . Again they yanked and yanked, but couldn't pull it out. The cat shouted to the mouse. The old man grabbed hold of the turnip, the old woman grabbed hold of the old man, the granddaughter grabbed hold of the old woman, Zhuchka grabbed hold of the granddaughter, the cat grabbed hold of Zhuchka and the mouse grabbed hold of the cat. All of them helped each other to pull and at last the turnip came out.
Father Frost Однажды жила-была семья ... Once upon a time there was an ordinary family, who lived in a small house. The family consisted of four people: a father, a mother and two daughters. The mother's daughter was called Dussya. The father also had a daughter from another marriage. Her name was Masha. The mother didn't like her stepdaughter because she was very beautiful, kind and generous. Masha loved to help people. But Dussya was different. She was lazy, unkind and all she cared about was sleeping. The mother was always cross with Masha and one day she decided to get rid of her. She asked her husband to get Masha and take her to the dark, gloomy forest. So he did.
When Masha realised she was alone in the forest she became very scared. It was pitch black and there was a lot of snow because it was winter. Suddenly Father Frost came up to her and said: "Hello, my dear! How are you? Are you cold?" "Hello! No, I'm not cold, grandpa. It is rather warm," Masha replied. Father Frost began to run and jump around her. Then he asked her again: "Are you cold, dear?" "No, Mr Frost! I'll say it again, I'm quite warm," laughed Masha.
Then he gave her a big bag of colourful shiny jewels, a beautiful dress and a golden stallion. She thanked him and returned home. When her stepmother saw her, she was furious and cried to her husband: "Get my daughter and take her to the forest immediately!� When Dussya arrived at the forest, she too met Father Frost. Father Frost decided he didn't like her because she was lazy and ugly, so he killed her. Then Masha got married to a handsome young man and they lived happily ever after.
The Little House Стоит в поле теремок. Бежит мимо мышка ... The little house sat in field of bluebells. It was a small brown cottage with a steep sloped roof. One day a grey, fluffy mouse scampered by the little house and squeaked: "Little, little house! Who lives in this little house?" Nobody answered. The mouse sneaked into the little house and started to live in it. A few days later a green tree-frog jumped towards the little house and croaked in a faint voice: "Little, little house! Who lives in this little house?" "I'm Mouse. And who are you?" "I'm Frog. Can I live in your house?" So Mouse and Frog lived in the house. A few days later a small, grey rabbit hopped to the little house.
He saw the little house and asked: "Little, little house! Who lives in this little house?" "I'm Mouse and I'm Frog. And who are you?" they both said at once. "I'm Rabbit. Can I live in your house?" The rabbit jumped into the little house, and he started to live with the other animals.
One day a ginger fox went by. She knocked slyly on the window. "Little, little house! Who lives in this little house?" "I'm Mouse, I'm Frog and I'm Rabbit. And who are you?" they all said. "I'm Fox. Can I live in your house?" The fox jumped into the little house, and she started to live with the other animals. A few days later, a hairy, grey wolf crept up to the little house. "Little, little house! Who lives in this little house?" "I'm Mouse, I'm Frog, I'm Rabbit and I'm Fox. And who are you?" "I'm Wolf. Can I live in your house?" The wolf crept into the little house, and he started to live with the other animals. The next day, a big brown bear stumbled to the little house. He saw the little house and roared: "Little, little house! Who lives in this little house?"
"I'm Mouse, I'm Frog, I'm Rabbit, I'm Fox and I'm Wolf. And who are you?" they all said. "I'm Bear!" he replied gruffly. The bear struggled to crawl into the little house, but he couldn't get inside because he was too big. "I shall live on the roof," he said. "You will crush the little house," the animals cried. "No I won't," replied the bear. "Fine," said the animals, "you can climb on the roof then." Bear climbed onto the roof and BANG! He crushed the little house and all the animals ran away in horror crying, "Oh little, little house, the bear has crushed our little house."
The Fox and the Crab встретила Лиса Рака и ... A fox met a crab and said, "let's have a race!" "Okay, fox. Let's run," replied the crab. As soon as they started to run, the crab grabbed hold of the fox's tail. Later, as the fox was approaching the finish, he turned round to see how far behind the crab was. When he wagged his tail the crab unhooked himself and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
The Bun Жили-были старик со старухой ... Once upon a time there was an old man and his wife, Marusya. One day the old man asked his wife to bake a bun. "We haven't had buns for ages," called the old man. So Marusya made a bun for her husband and put it in the oven to bake. When it was ready, she put it on the windowsill to cool off. Suddenly, the bun turned to life and jumped quickly out of the window and rolled quietly along the path. Soon it met a fluffy grey hare. "You look tasty to me. You're going to go straight into my tummy," the hare said. The bun told him that it had run away from the old man and woman, and it would run away from him too. The bun rolled on and on until suddenly it met a vicious black wolf with large white teeth. The cunning wolf looked at the bun and realised that he wanted it. "You look tasty," said the wolf, licking his lips.
The wolf told the bun that he wanted to eat it but the bun didn't get frightened. The bun explained to the wolf it had run away from the old man and woman, from the hare and that it would run away from him too. And then it rolled away quickly along the narrow path. After a while it met a fierce black bear. "You look tasty," said the bear, licking his lips, so the bun ran away from him too. The bun quickly rolled on until it met a cunning red fox. "Where are you going?" the red fox asked the small round loaf. "I'm going for a walk in the woods. And if I find someone, I will run away from them, just like I ran away from the old man and woman, the hare, the wolf and the bear," the bun replied while bobbing.
"You look tasty," the fox muttered. "Pardon?" the bun asked. "Oh, er, nothing," she replied. "Well, I'm going to run away from you and you will never ever catch me," the bun promised. And it began to sing a song about how it had escaped the old man and woman, the hare, the wolf and the bear. But the fox was sly. "Sorry, I couldn't hear your beautiful song. Could you sit on my nose, please, and sing your lovely song again," she whispered, licking her lips and twirling her whiskers. The bun didn't know what the fox was up to, so it jumped on the fox's nose as she had asked and began to sing again. Suddenly, SNAP! The bun was eaten in one gulp.
Alyonushka and her brother Ivanushka Жили-были сестрица Алёнушка да братец Иванушка ... Once upon a time – a long, long time ago – there were two children who lived in a small cottage with their grandparents. The cottage was situated in a quiet Russian village. The children were called Alyonushka and Ivanushka. The children were sobbing their hearts out because their grandparents had died. All they had left was each other. Alyonushka and Ivanushka decided they had better get a job because they had no one to look after them, and no money. They set off down the long, cobbled road, in search of a job. The children had been walking for such a long time that they were starting to feel exhausted. Ivanushka was becoming increasingly thirsty; he was absolutely dying for a drink! All of a sudden, he spotted a pond, from which the cows in the field drank. "Alyonushka, I need a drink. Please!" Ivanushka begged. "We can get a drink later," replied Alyonushka. "If you drink from that pond, you will turn into a calf!" Eventually they came to a beautiful, sparkling pond. There were horses nearby. Ivanushka got on his knees and begged his sister to let him have a drink from the pond. "No, my brother! If you drink from that, you will turn into a foal," Alyonushka replied. Ivanushka obeyed his sister and didn't drink from the pond.
The sun was beating down and the nearest well was still miles away. As they were walking along, Ivanushka spotted a glistening, shimmering, ice cold pond, which provided water for the goats living nearby. "Ooh, that looks so delicious," said Ivanushka, his mouth watering. "Please may I drink from it?" "No! If you do, you will turn into an ugly baby goat," said Alyonushka sternly, "and I don't want a kid for a brother!" But this time Ivanushka disobeyed his sister and, on his first sip, turned into a bleating little goat. Alyonushka looked everywhere for Ivanushka, and screamed his name loudly in a panic, ten times! But all she could see was a little baby goat.
Alyonushka burst into tears, and sat sadly by the side of the road, sobbing her heart out. She felt as if her heart was frozen. Suddenly, a merchant appeared on a horse and cart. "What's the matter?" he enquired softly. "Can I help you?" Alyonushka explained her tragic story. The merchant thought for a while, and then ... DING; it was as if a light bulb appeared above his head! "I've got a brilliant idea," said the man excitedly. "Marry me, and we can live happily together with your brother, the goat. I promise to take care of you!" Alyonushka had a magical wedding to the kind man, and they lived happily together for the next few years. Ten years later, the merchant came home to his wife as usual. He didn't know that, while he was out, something awful had happened. An evil witch, who was extremely ugly, had tied a stone around Alyonushka's neck and thrown her into the river. Then she had cast a wicked spell to make her morph into the form of Alyonushka.
Now the witch looked just like Alyonushka, while the real girl was stuck at the bottom of the river! Only poor Ivanushka knew the truth about the witch's disguise and he was worried that the witch had evil plans for his future. One day, the horrible witch overheard Ivanushka talking to his sister. She saw red and shivered with anger. She was concerned that Ivanushka would spoil her dastardly plan and ruin her happy life living as Alyonushka. She ordered the merchant to kill the goat. It was hard for him to agree to kill Ivanushka, as he loved the goat like a person. But, being deceived by the witch, he gave in and chased the goat with his axe. Ivanushka begged the merchant to let him go to the river for one last drink before he died, and luckily his wish was granted. There, at the river's edge, the goat cried out to his sister. "Alyonushka, please help me! Your husband, the merchant, is going to kill me!" She replied, "Oh no, my brother. I'm afraid I can't help you because of this gigantic stone around my neck." Neither the brother, nor his sister, realised that a farmer, who was minding his own business after milking his cows, had overheard their conversation. Fortunately he decided to save the day ... Hooray!
The farmer sprinted to tell the merchant not to kill the goat. Upon hearing the farmer's story, he ran to the river, found Alyonushka, dived under the water, untied the stone from her neck and brought her back to safety. He then tied the witch to a wild horse, and let it loose in an open field. The witch bounced around until she exploded all over the ground. The little goat was so happy that he turned three somersaults of joy, and was changed back into a boy. They lived happily ever after.

Percy is confused. whilst he woke up after his lengthy sleep, he did not comprehend even more than his identify. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa informed him he's a demigod and informed him to struggle. in some way Percy controlled to make it to the camp for half-bloods, even though he needed to regularly kill monsters that, annoyingly, wouldn't remain useless. however the camp does not ring any bells with him.
Hazel is meant to be dead. while she lived sooner than, she did not do an outstanding task of it. whilst the Voice took over her mom and commanded Hazel to take advantage of her "gift" for an evil objective, Hazel could not say no. Now, due to her mistake, the way forward for the realm is in danger.
Frank is a klutz. His grandmother claims he's descended from old heroes, yet he does not even understand who his father is. He retains hoping Apollo will declare him, as the purely factor he's reliable at is archery. His large and hulking body makes him consider like an awkward ox, in particular in entrance of Hazel, his closest buddy at camp. He trusts her completely-enough, even, to proportion the key he holds with reference to his center.
Beginning on the "other" camp for half-bloods and lengthening as some distance north because the land past the gods, this breathtaking moment installment within the Heroes of Olympus sequence introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and contours different outstanding creatures, all of whom are destined to play a component within the most crucial quest of all: the Prophecy of 7.

He should've been pleased with them, yet he felt like he'd simply obtained them simply because his dad had bullied Reyna. Frank didn't understand how his neighbors might stand to be round him. Percy had made it transparent that he hated Mars, and Frank couldn't blame him. Hazel saved looking at Frank out of the nook of her eye, like she was once afraid he may develop into a muscle-bound freak. Frank regarded down at his physique and sighed. Correction: much more of a muscle-bound freak. If Alaska relatively was once a land past the gods, Frank may possibly remain there.
Percy felt the water emerging along with his anger, spinning speedier around him. 'A unfastened cannon. ' 'Exactly. I'm joyful you recognize. ' Percy despatched a wave crashing down at the previous lady, yet Juno easily disappeared and materialized additional down the shore. 'My,' she stated, 'you are in a foul temper. yet you recognize I'm correct. Your timing right here used to be excellent. They belief you presently. you're a hero of Rome. And when you slept Jason Grace has realized to belief the Greeks. They've had time to construct the Argo II. jointly, you and Jason will unite the camps.
You gave up Elysium,' Frank stated in amazement, 'so your mom wouldn't undergo? ' 'She didn't deserve Punishment,' Hazel stated. 'But … what occurs now? ' 'Nothing,' Hazel stated. 'Nothing … for all eternity. ' They drifted aimlessly. Spirits round them chattered like bats – misplaced and pressured, no longer remembering their previous or perhaps their names. Hazel remembered every thing. maybe that was once simply because she was once a daughter of Pluto, yet she by no means forgot who she was once, or why she was once there. 'Remembering made my afterlife harder,' she instructed Frank, who nonetheless drifted subsequent to her as a sparkling red Lar.
How can we shut them? ' 'Ah, sure. ' a glance of inflammation flickered throughout Thanatos's face. 'The doorways of Me. remaining them will be solid, yet I worry it truly is past my energy. the way you could do it, I haven't the faintest proposal. I can't inform you precisely the place they're. the site isn't … good, it's no longer totally a actual position. they need to be situated via questing. i will be able to let you know to begin your seek in Rome. the unique Rome. you'll want a unique consultant. just one type of demigod can learn the indicators that might finally lead you to the doorways of Me.
At any place she was once being taken, she'd quickly be too distant for her pals to discover her. She closed her eyes and attempted to disregard the tumbling and tossing. She despatched her concepts into the earth lower than her. Gold, silver – she'd accept whatever that will disrupt her kidnappers. She felt not anything. Riches lower than the earth – 0. She used to be approximately to depression while she felt a big chilly spot move underneath her. She locked onto it with all her focus, shedding a psychological anchor. by surprise the floor rumbled. The swirl of vegetation published her and she or he used to be thrown upward like a catapult projectile.

My list of pet peeves for summer, 2011. (But it doesn't bother me when you do them.)
1. People who drive slower than me (idiots). Or faster than me (maniacs).
2. That we call Deutchland "Germany" and Wien "Vienna". Why would we just make up a different name for a place?
3. When someone lies, and later admits lying, then asks "Do i get half points for 'fessing up?" No. You don't achieve any net gain if you stab somebody then take them to the hospital.
4. Stand-up comedy in person.
5. Dry or not-sharp Sharpies.
I really enjoy the evolution of my pit scent when i haven't washed them for a few days — and if that grosses you out, sorry Mr. or Mrs. Daintybritches.
It's sometimes citrus, sometimes low-tide oceanic, sometimes it blends with the Keihl's musk to create a different creature altogether.
Today's sky (just like yesterday's). Thanks, "summer"!

This piece starts with the film "Night Watch." I loved that this film had its own version of a vampire story, including a different world. In particular, there is a certain unconscious state shown in the film that inspired me visually. In one particular scene, a boy falls backwards as his eyes leave orange trail paths. That is what led me to create this image.
acrylic on canvas, 5" x 5"
I simplified eye shapes and added trails of dots that followed both eyes. This painting documents my variation of dot sizes. Following this painting I began experimenting more with dark colored backgrounds.

Bill Nye: Creationism threatens U.S. science – POLITICO.com Print View
The man known to a generation of Americans as "The Science Guy" is condemning efforts by some Christian groups to cast doubts on evolution and lawmakers who want to bring the Bible into science classrooms.
Bill Nye, a mechanical engineer and star of the popular 1990s TV show "Bill Nye The Science Guy," has waded into the evolution debate with an online video that urges parents not to pass their religious-based doubts about evolution on to their children.
Christians who view the stories of the Old Testament as historical fact have come to be known as creationists, and many argue that the world was created by God just a few thousand years ago.
"The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old," Nye said in an interview with The Associated Press. "It's not. And if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs."
Millions of Americans do hold those beliefs, according to a June Gallup poll that found 46 percent of Americans believe God created humans in their present form about 10,000 years ago.
Nye, 56, also decried efforts in recent years by lawmakers and school boards in some states to present Bible stories as an alternative to evolution in public schools. Tennessee passed a law earlier this year that protects teachers who let students criticize evolution and other scientific theories. That echoes a Louisiana law passed in 2008 that allows teachers to introduce supplemental teaching materials in science classes.
"If we raise a generation of students who don't believe in the process of science, who think everything that we've come to know about nature and the universe can be dismissed by a few sentences translated into English from some ancient text, you're not going to continue to innovate," Nye said in a wide-ranging telephone interview.
The brief online video was not Nye's first foray into the combustible debate, but "it's the first time it's gotten to be such a big deal."
"I can see where one gets so caught up in this (debate) that you say something that will galvanize people in a bad way, that will make them hate you forever," he said. "But I emphasize that I'm not questioning someone's religion – much of that is how you were brought up."

text: (Jewish News-UK) British Prime Minister Theresa May told a Jewish audience attending a Rosh Hashanah reception at 10 Downing Street that she is a "proud supporter of Israel." Ahead of the centenary of the Balfour Declaration, she said, "It is absolutely right that we should mark the vital role that Britain played a century ago in helping to create a homeland for the Jewish people." May also said she would "actively encourage" use of the newly-adopted working definition of anti-Semitism put forward by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance by the "police, legal profession, universities and other public bodies." The IHRA definition expands the actions and comments that can be considered anti-Semitic to include criticism of Israel.2017-09-15 00:00:00Full ArticleBACK Visit the Daily Alert Archive

As much as I truly truly love my Holga very deeply right now, it wasn't my second lomo cam either (this isn't looking very good is it, for a site that's all about my Holga). I guess sometimes you need to experiment with a few different models before you get to the right one (also applicable to many situations in life).
My second lomo camera is in fact, the Actionsampler. I bought it from one of those discount websites that sold 'branded' goods. It was fairly cheap, so I thought why not. I've been told by many different people that there are many iPhone apps that can do the same thing, that just really isn't the point, is it! What I loved about the Actionsampler is that it could capture a whole scenario all in one picture (yes, I am easily amused that way). Also I have a very active toddler, and capturing her with the Actionsampler made perfect sense.

I recently saw an article about an interesting project by David Byrne (of Talking Heads); he'd taken over an old ferry terminal in Manhattan and made it into a huge musical instrument.
Visitors can 'play' the building through an organ keyboard. Air whistling through the building's pipework makes a flute, or an organ; grilles rattle as percussion, metal hammers strike metal sheets and clang or clash.
The building has become a performance. And it's a performance which is interactive, which appeals to the curiosity of the visitor.
I've seen other installations where visitors turn lights on and off simply by their presence, or start films rolling. (Of course, they don't get much choice in the matter with such a simple installation.) But treating the whole building as a work of art that can be recreated by the visitor is more ambitious.
It's a pity that so much work on building automation is focused on petty quotidian concerns. It's so pedestrian, so limited – turn the fridge on and off, lock the door, heat the house, feed the cat.
But if I had a house I could play like an instrument – or conduct like an orchestra – I'd want to do more than play 'Baa baa black sheep '. I'd want sliding panels to channel the light; different colours and intensities of light ; I'd want to be able to create a corridor or a larger room by rearranging the walls. I'd want to do more than just play music on hidden speakers – I'd want to move it around the house, so I could start a sound in the hall and let it run upstairs and into the bathroom, or swoosh it around the main room.
And ultimately, there's something wonderful about a building that isn't just a container for art – as a room is when we play music in it – but that creates that art itself. A building that acts, rather than just being. That's why we find fountains and wind towers and sun pipes so interesting – because they create the illusion that a building has life, has secrets, is an active participant in our lives rather than a mere box, a construct.


text: Jeff surprised us with tickets to the Dan Zanes Holiday House Party. We had never heard of this guy, but apparently he's an entertainer and has put out several CDs for kids. He had a mini show on one of the radio stations we listen to, and Jeff was intrigued enough to buy tickets for the whole family to see the show. It was so worth it! This show was amazing - a multicultural celebration of the holidays. The premise is that Dan Zanes is stuck at his house during a blizzard and his friends stop by and it turns into a jam session and party. There were so many instruments featured - guitar, banjo, trumpet, piccolo, violin, electric violin, drums, mandolin, and many instruments we didn't even know about. There was singing in English, Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, and Spanish. There was dancing - belly dancing, Indian dancing, and, my favorite, tap dancing! One number featured "Deck the Halls" and the "fa-la-la" part was tapped out by a famous tap dancer and a little girl about age 8 or 9 who was amazing. There was African dancing, a trio of Mexican musicians and singers, and shadow puppetry. There was a lot of audience participation, too, singing and dancing. It was just a really entertaining show. Their next stop is Broadway! Oh, and the best part - after the show, the whole cast gathers out in the lobby to talk to kids, sign autographs, etc. Just very casual and fun. We had a great time!

since i've blogged so much about my bathroom remodel process, i figure i better get my rear in gear and post some "after" pictures.
remember what our master bathroom looked like in the process?
here it is now! the cabinets are a distressed antique cream color. i love it alot!
i still need to get some closeup pictures of my favorite details in the room, and my super organized closet that i am thrilled about, and the new shower door.
i will share this one detail with you. i found the soap dispenser at targe' and the little glass at pier one. i was pretty excited how they went together so well. i get a little ga-ga over little details. and can you believe i'm STILL not 100% sure about the darn towel colors? i think i need medication about it by now. hee-hee!
and here is the boy's bathroom. i'm lovin' this alot too! look close in the second photo and you can see the tiny little houndstooth pattern in the wallpaper. it turned out just how i was hoping it would; downplayed with a little bit of color and texture added.
other random things going on with me:
i've been doing some scrapping but can't share it publicly yet. i love this hobby so much! i finally tidied up my room so i've been able to scrap with a clear head and space.
dave is home for spring break this week.
he's working at the shop all week.
it's great having him home for awhile.
it's the little things about having the family together that are precious to me. i love my family.
i started mother of groom dress shopping.
well, kinda.
katelyn and i started looking online.
i found a couple i really like at nordstroms.
we'll see – i have to try them on of course.
my plan is to do my serious shopping and buying in early may.
i have a couple fashion minded friends helping me a little. 😉
i've asked them to be my long distance stacey and clinton.
you know, from what not to wear?
stay tuned for more dress news in the next couple months.
the weather here in indiana is getting warmer.
remember how i don't like springtime rain?
i promise i won't whine about it. once is enough.
i DO love the springtime green grass and sunshine.
that said, i WILL miss my everyday winter attire.
my attire that i run errands in and putz around town in.
my jeans, my brown puffy vest and my sweatshirts underneath.
obviously, i go for daily comfort.
however, i DO wear pointy toed high heel boots with this.
which is totally against what my physical therapist steve approved.
i do the exercises he assigend; i can't give up everything!
have a great week!!! 🙂 carrie

For Some Rockettes, Dancing For Pu**y Grabber Is Moral IssuePosted: 2016-12-30 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: IFTTT, Latest from Crooks and Liars Leave a comment
On Thursday's "Hardball," Steve KornackI interviewed Autumn Withers, a former Radio City Rockette, about the resistance coming from some Rockettes about performing at the Trump inaugural.
The mainstream media has done everything it can to sweep Trump's past under the rug, especially now that he has been elected, and it's clear that some of the customers for their advertisers were either too stupid or too nasty to let Trump's misogyny stop them from voting for him. And yes, this is true for white women voters who buy paper towels and moderate to severe Crone's Disease medication. Something cable news seems to hold in very high esteem as they ignore and normalize the things Trump has actually said about women.
So Steve Kornacki plays Devil's advocate with this former Rockette, saying if women voted for Trump, shouldn't the Rockettes just forget about the past and dance or not dance but please don't make a big honking deal about it because then we have to remember what a piece of crap just got elected to the nation's highest office?
And essentially, Autumn Withers politely said, "Hell no."

|Development of improved low-cost ceramic water filters for viral removal in the Haitian context

Household-based water treatment (HWT) is increasingly being promoted to improve water quality and, therefore, health status in low-income countries. Ceramic water filters (CWFs) are used in many regions as sustainable HWT and have been proven to meet World Health Organization (WHO) microbiological performance targets for bacterial removal (2
4 log); however, the described viral removal efficiencies are insufficient to significantly reduce the associated risk of viral infection. With the objective of improving the viral removal efficiencies of ceramic water filters, new prototypes with different oxide compositions and firing atmospheres have been developed and evaluated. For removal efficiencies human adenoviruses, MS2 bacteriophage and Escherichia coli were quantified in all prototypes. A new model of CWF that was fired in a reductive atmosphere presented virus and bacteria removal efficiencies greater than 3.0 log and 2.5 log, respectively, which would fulfill the viral targets that are recommended by the WHO. Ceramic characterization of the selected filters, which were fired in a reductive atmosphere, showed that a larger specific surface area than those of control filters and higher fraction of a positive Z-potential fraction are the most likely explanations for this increase in virus removal.

text: Home > Programs > Review & Compliance > TCPs Guidance Traditional Cultural Properties in SCIdentification and Evaluation for Section 106 Traditional Cultural Properties (TCPs) are a subset of historic properties that reflect traditions associated with a cultural group. According to the National Register of Historic Places, "culture" is defined as the "traditions, beliefs, practices, lifeways, arts, crafts, and social institutions of any community, be it an Indian tribe, a local ethnic group, or the people of the nation as a whole." Traditions are those "beliefs, customs, and practices of a living community of people that have been passed down through generations, usually orally or through practice." TCPs can be related to spiritual power, traditional practices, or stories important to a living (i.e. still extant) community. Often, TCPs are associated with Native American groups, but TCPs may be connected with any specific cultural group. South Carolina has many cultures associated with the history of the state, and different traditions and traditional places should be considered in planning federal projects in the state. Most TCPs are not readily identifiable to persons outside of the cultural group, making it critical to consult with interested parties and groups to identify and evaluate TCPs. Consultation To begin the process of identifying TCPs, consider the history of the area, including settlement patterns, land use, landscapes, and known cultural groups. Identify the people that may have additional information on cultural practices and traditions, such as local political leaders, historical society leaders, and community leaders (pastors, teachers, business owners). Talk to local planners, the anthropology department of the local college or university, or the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Identify the best practices for consultation, such as community meetings, individual interviews, or presenting the project to community leaders. Often, a form letter or a notice in the newspaper is not sufficient to identify consulting parties associated with TCPs. Identification of appropriate consulting parties takes legwork. Identification and Evaluation Once appropriate consulting parties are identified, consider what is needed to plan the project. Is it important to know where sites are? Why are the sites significant to the community? What documentation is needed to determine if the TCP is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places? Consider using the experience and expertise of ethnogrophers, sociologists, anthropologists, and folklorists to assist in the identification of TCPs. A property must be associated with a tradition at least 50 years old and meet the threshold of the National Register criteria to be a historic property under Section 106. Criterion A, association with events and broad patterns of history, tends to be the general criteria for TCPs, although TCPs can be eligible under other criteria. TCPs are eligible for the National Register because of association with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community. These beliefs and practices should be a part of the community's history and are critical to maintaining the cultural identity of the community. The National Register criteria, however, were not designed with the evaluation of TCPs in mind. Some TCPs, such as rivers or forests, may not have specific boundaries. It may also be difficult to categorize a TCP as a building, structure, site, object, or district. For Section 106 identification and evaluation, consider whether or not a specific boundary or category is necessary to treat the TCP as a historic property. Keep in mind that it is critical to listen to those who ascribe significance to the property to understand and evaluate the significance of the TCP. TCPs must also have integrity to be eligible for the National Register. In addition to integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, TCPs should reflect integrity of relationship and condition. TCPs must have a clear connection to the culture's beliefs and practices associated with it. Depending on the type of relationship the TCP has to the culture, the integrity of condition may or may not adversely affect the TCP. For example, if a field of sweetgrass is still used for collecting materials for sweetgrass basket making, it would still have its association to the practice of the Gullah culture even if the field is surrounded by contemporary development. Remember, if the culture still ascribes significance to the place, even if the setting or other aspects of integrity have been altered, the TCP may still have integrity of relationship. Documentation of TCPs should include a written description of the property; recordation on appropriate site file or survey card forms; photographs; maps; oral history interviews/transcripts; and any special challenges presented in collecting the information and determining its eligibility for the National Register. Evaluations should use the TCP guidance published by the National Park Service. Information collected can be kept confidential if it meets the criteria set forth under Section 304 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Effects When considering effects of a federal project on TCPs, it is important to be open and thorough in consultation with the cultural group. Project impacts should be clearly explained and should highlight potential impacts. Adverse effects to TCPs could include the elimination of access to the site; destruction of the property; the removal of control over the property; or the introduction of indirect effects, such as changes to the visual or auditory nature of the TCP. If the group associated with the TCP perceives an adverse effect to the property, this is an important consideration in assessing effects. Again, consultation is key. Types of Traditional Cultural Properties(from the National Register guidelines) **A location associated with the traditional beliefs of a Native American group about its origins, its cultural history, or the nature of the world **A rural community whose organization, buildings and structures, or patterns of land use reflect the cultural traditions valued by its long-term residents **An urban neighborhood that is the traditional home of a particular cultural group, and that reflects its beliefs and practices **A location where a community has traditionally carried out economic, artistic or other cultural practices important in maintaining its historic identity South Carolina Examples(these properties may not be specifically listed in the National Register as TCPs) • Churches/continuous use of site for religious expression important to the culture Horn Creek Baptist Church, Edgefield County Indian Fields Methodist Campground, Dorchester County• Cemeteries King Cemetery, Charleston County • Native American culture o Federal and state-recognized tribes Fishdam Ford, Union and Chester Counties o Tribes with no official recognition Altamaha Town, Beaufort County• Gullah communities Daufuskie Island Historic District, Beaufort County • African American communities and places Penn Center Historic District, Beaufort County The Green, Beaufort County• Hunting• Agriculture Pee Dee River Rice Planters Historic District, Georgetown County Gallivants Ferry Historic District, Horry County• Sweetgrass collecting for basket-making• Clay for pottery Pottersville, Edgefield County Trapp and Chandler Pottery Site, Greenwood County • Fishing/shrimping areas McClellanville Historic District, Charleston County Bluffton Oyster Company, Bluffton Historic District, Beaufort County• Traditional food-gathering areas/association with foodways Coker Spring, Aiken County • Traditional medicine-gathering areas• Landscapes Ashley River Historic District, Charleston and Dorchester Counties Reedy River Falls Historic Park and Greenway, Greenville County Table Rock Mountain, Table Rock State Park Historic District, Pickens County• Rock art• Urban neighborhoods associated with a specific culture Waverly Historic District, Richland County• Rural communities Pendleton Historic District, Anderson County Cedar Springs Historic District, Abbeville County

I'm doing some form of data visualization learning for 180 days because I need to #JFDI.
See post explaining how and why I'm doing this.
Code Learning:
Udacity Data Visualization and D3.js – Returns in Data Binding Process
Three Takeaways:
- Remember:
var myChart = new dimple.chart(svg, data)is equal tod3.select('svg') // passing in SVG, selects SVG element on page.selectAll("circle") // subselect that looks for circle SVG elements and returns an empty selection, because we have an empty SVG and we haven't added any circles.data(data) // passes in all rows in data and binds data to elements on the page.enter() // corresponds to D3 selection of all virtual nodes/placeholders bound to data that aren't yet on the page – > becomes an array of Javascript objects with a _data_field.append("circle") //
var x = myChart.addTimeAxis("x", "year");x.dateParseFormat = "%Y"x.tickFormat = "%Y"x.timeInterval = 4;myChart.addMeasureAxis("y", "attendance");is this in D3:var time_extent = d3.extent(data, function(d) { // extent finds and keeps track of min and max for each functionreturn d['date'];});var count_extent = d3.extent(data, function(d) {return d['attendance'];});var time_scale = d3.time.scale() // first calling time module.range([margin, width]) // min and max, left to right most part.domain(time_extent);var count_scale = d3.scale.linear().range([height, margin]) // min value of attendance and up to the chart margin.domain(count_extent);
d3.tsv("games.tsv", function(d) {// transform data}, draw);versus using D3 to parse date and load data (not DimpleJS)format = d3.time.format("%d-%m%Y (%H:%M h)");d3.tsv("world_cup_geo.tsv", function(d) {d['date'] = format.parse(d['date']); // overriding date column string with a data Javascript object}, draw;)
The Functional Art: An Introduction to Information Graphics and Visualization by Alberto Cairo
p 166-175 Creating Information Graphics
Three Takeaways
- "Keep style and color under control and create a solid layout by imagining your graphics as if they were groups of rectangles" p 171
- Define goals and scope, gather your information, sketch before going on the computer, draw graphic. p 175
- "Limiting the amount of colors and different fonts in your graphics will help you create a sense of unity in composition. Stick to just two or three colors and play with their shades. Do the same with fonts. Choose just one or two: a solid, thick one for headlines, and a readable one for body copy." p 175

Shoot. I have something to write about here, but I have to start by telling you that I just opened a yoghurt pottle the wrong way, and it splattered yoghurt all over my top. I'm wearing a nice top today, too. One that people are going to NOTICE the yoghurt stains on.
At least I've already had my counseling appointment today. I don't have to rock up all: 'Opps, I'm wearing yoghurt on my top – and not as a fashion statement.'
It makes me feel better about being a bit of a hot-mess sometimes if I can show up to counselling looking polished, and clean – like I've at least showered and brushed my own hair this week. Not that my counsellor gives a crap how I look. She cares more about how the lines on my forehead move when I'm trying to get away with a half-truth. (Or as us in the profession call them: lies.)
Today I have big news! Big, non-yoghurt related, news.
I received a marriage proposal this morning, via an internet dating site that I'm on.
(Pause for much squealing and congratulatory well wishing)
It was from a 33 year-old Columbian man, who is currently living in the USA… And guys?? He's a doctor! Or at least he will be once he's finished another seven-or-so years of study.
Admittedly, this is the first time that Man from Columbia (who I affectionately call Snookiewookums) has ever contacted me, but it was love at first internet dating message for both of us.
He started by introducing himself. Snookiewookums unfortunately forgot to include his name, but it's ok. Names are overrated when you have a soul-deep connection like we do. I doubt he knows mine either, considering he addressed the letter to 'Dear Sweet One'.
Le sigh. Sweet One. It's so romantic. I've always longed for someone to see past my generic 'Shannon' label, into my soft, gushy heart, and label me 'Sweet One'. It's so bold, and brash, and unique! He sees me for the rare gem – and the high blood-sugared individual – that I am.
He told me all about his life, in the United States, and how he seeks knowledge through our education system. It may have only been three sentences, But I already feel like I know my Columbian Gentleman better than I've ever known any other human being. And guys? We're perfect for each other.
He's a student, I'm a student. He's lived in USA, and one day I would like to travel there. He comes from Columbia, and I once read a report on the human rights and political system in Columbia. He's ready to settle down, and I'm ready to be taken in-hand and shown my womanly duty by a manly head-of-the-household type. He wants to move to New Zealand, and obtain an residents visa, I'm a New Zealand Citizen!
We'd be good for each other.
No sooner did I come to this conclusion, than he textually sweeps me off my feet, and proposes. It was the most romantic thing ever. And I read romance books by the truck-load. I know romance.
He said "I am looking for to get married for the purposes of residency visas."
I know, I know, he's couched it all as if it's actually for a visa, or something, but guys. This is a male we're talking about. He's not quite as in touch with his feelings as us ladies. He's desperately trying to cover up his DEEP LONGING to be with me.
It's alright Snookiewookums. The world may not understand you, but I, shadow of your soul, reflection of your heart, I DO understand you. My Columbian Gentleman, of course I'll marry you. Was it ever in doubt? Did your heart ever question the devotion of mine? Of course not. For a love, such as ours, is pure, and deep, like the two most singularly, pure, deep wells of spring water high upon the mountaintops. We are untouched by humanity, only to trickle ever gradually together, into a gushing torrent: a river of oneness!
Now, if you will all excuse me, I have to go put this poor man out of his misery. (I can hardly believe I'm getting married!)
