There is by now substantial agreement amongst analysts that a strategy for dal production which ensures supplies and a reasonable degree of self-reliance is sorely needed, and the country cannot go from one crisis to another without a well-worked-out policy. However, the discussion is flawed on its assessments of what governments can and cannot do and on the lack of a short and medium strategy to enhance production. Former CACP chairman Ashok Gulati has endorsed the proposal that government use a fund to stabilise prices. But India's pulse problem is not contracyclical. Funds work if you have to support prices in one year and sell in another to replenish your fund. The pulses problem is of an endemic shortage which keeps on rising. You will need subsidies and not funds. Earlier imports where around 2 million tonnes; but now they are in the range of 3.5-4.5 million tones and we are running on a downstairs case, so more maybe ahead. Again, governments have been notoriously poor managers of contracyclical policies. My friend Sanat Mehta, who passed away recently, set up a committee under me to solve the groundnut oil problem in Saurashtra. I wanted a contracyclical fund. Shankar Lal Guru, then a prominent market regulator of the Unjha market-yard, told me, "When I trade in mungphali (groundnut), even my munim does not know whether I am buying or selling. But your minister announces his policies, and so we are able to fleece him."
Second, they want imports. If your policies are as bad as they have been, you will need imports. Since imports are expensive, and particularly given we are poor importers, the need for subsidies for urban consumers is felt. But that will give very wrong signals to the country's farmers. Incidentally, imports and subsidies will subsidise foreign farmers, in Canada, the US, Australia as also in East Africa and Myanmar. India's own farmers will suffer. It is like pouring water into a leaking bucket. We will give negative signals before the next rabi season to our agriculturists. They already get the wrong signals, as Gulati points out, from the government's support to wheat, and a partial import policy will make matters worse. It is of some importance that imports are made with a mild tariff and subsidised as they are even now.
No one is worried about the future. A committee I had chaired on pulses strategy, of which the report is printed, worked on a short- and medium-term strategy to enhance production; it also included a Bt pulses seeds strategy. The report is gathering dust, after some activity when Sharad Pawar was the Union agriculture minister.
Then, of course, our old friend, the Essential Commodities Act, is there. So, there are stocking limits. Not only for traders, but retailers, exporters, importers, implemented by a so-called reform-friendly, market-friendly regime. Some 'show' raids are done and the figures of pulses obtained are touted. Not a single grain of pulse has been added to the nations granaries, apart from those touted in the histrionics. If the past is any guide, and as many official reports have shown, such regulations are the major cause of black money. Also, may be, of corruption.
What is the government doing to enhance more production in the upcoming rabi season? Who is responsible for that, since the Planning Commission has been abolished? Unless perverted policies are followed, the price signals are there for the kisan. A seeds policy is essential, as also availability of pesticides, as Rallis has shown in its I Shakti producer companies, which come from a committee I chaired when Arun Jaitley was the minister of corporate affairs. What is happening to the 4 million kisans who have moved to census towns, thousands of them, each crying for market infrastructure; not the APMC structure, thank you? If the government were to support the kisan in what he does, it would never regret it. Can we assure him that the dal he produces will be purchased at 50% above the support price, way below the import price in terms of landed costs in the consuming centres? We supported him in 1975, 1988 and 2008 and he never let us down. Its time we got our act together again.

International gospel superstar of Ghanaian origin, Sonnie Badu, has said he never knew the chorus of his 'Wonder God' track belonged to Nigerian musician Soji Israel.
He said he is however ready to pay compensation if Soji can prove ownership with some legally acceptable documents.
Sonnie Badu and Soji Israel have been contending over the actual owner of the song for a while now, and the situation seems to be getting out of hand.
While Sonnie Badu insists he first heard the chorus from Mummy GO, wife of the head of Redeemed Christian Church Fraternity, and that it was Mummy GO who gave him full permission to use the song, Soji claims he is owner of the song and that he even uploaded it on his YouTube page long before Sonnie Badu released the song.
Sonnie Badu's management team, Smartty's, has issued a statement on the controversy and NEWS-ONE reproduces the full script unedited: 'The management of Sonnie Badu wants to state categorically that Minister Sonnie Badu is an Internationally recognized gospel artiste and a member of music senior, UK who respects the gifts of others including musical gifts. We acknowledge the gifts and difficulties in being a song writer and getting recognition for your work.
'Due to this, before we release a song we take the extra efforts to research and do due diligence before songs are written and released, hence giving credits to everybody who contributes to Sonnie's musical works.
'The chorus for 'Wonder God' was heard by the team in Maryland 5 years ago from Mummy GO, wife of the head of Redeemed Christian Church Fraternity (Pastor Bayo Adeyekunu's sister) and so when the team wanted to use the chorus, we did a research and we learnt Mummy GO was the owner of the song. We sought her permission and Pastor Bayo's to use the chorus of the song and he obliged.
'We reiterate that never in our research did we learn that one Soji Israel was the owner of the chorus of the song, until a year after 'Wonder God' became a hit that Soji Israel contacted the Smarttys Management Team.
'We listened to him, apologized and explained to Soji that we had no knowledge of him being the owner of the chorus of the song 'Wonder God'. We opined that Soji provide valid documentation that he is the owner of the chorus of the song, so we compensate him.
'About a month ago, Soji Israel met the Smartty's team and Minister Sonnie in the USA and we had an extensive talk; in view of our discussion plans are advanced to compensate Soji should he provide the CAE documents proving that he has registered rights to the chorus of 'Wonder God'. Soji's prove of YouTube as his source of documentation is not enough prove of registration.
'The management of Minister Sonnie Badu wishes to state emphatically that we are waiting for legal documents of registration pertaining to the chorus of 'Wonder God' from Soji, after which we will give him the due recognition.'

A discussion between the Viroqua City Council and an Amish community regarding horse manure drew a crowd of more than 50 to Viroqua City Hall, Wednesday, July 21.
Mayor Larry Fanta said at the beginning of the meeting that the meeting was called because people in the community have complained about the horse manure being left on city streets, and he wanted to have a discussion with the Amish community to reach a compromise.
"The city has always had the power to enact something restricting the horses to having a diaper or sling or whatever," Fanta said. "We don't want to do that. After talking with [the Amish community] about six to eight months ago, they wanted to try to do something on their own. That's what we want. All we want is for it to be cleaned up after the horses make a mess. There's been more people complaining that nothing has happened and that's why we're here."
"I think more of an effort can be made," alderman Gary Krause said. "Right now it just lays there; nobody even tries to make an effort to clean it up. I think if it's a bad situation and you don't feel comfortable, you don't want to put yourselves in danger or endanger anybody else. But somewhere over the course of the rest of the day or even the next day when somebody else comes through, it might not be the right horse, but they could stop to clean it up."
Several suggestions were discussed, including putting slings between the rear of the horse and the buggy to catch the manure, traveling on side streets to make it easier to stop and clean up the droppings or having the next buggy clean it up if conditions aren't safe at the moment of the act. Alderman Marc Polsean also suggested the Amish put license plates on the buggies, so officers can track down the buggy that left the mess.
Fanta explained that the trees in the boulevard between the sidewalk and street are owned by the city and can be used to tie the horses up when cleaning up the manure.
Enos Glick of Co. NN spoke for his Amish community saying the slings behind a horse were a last resort for them. He said when the horse runs with the sling on, the droppings bounce up and hit the horse's rear, spooking the horse. It could be a more dangerous option.
"We don't like to see spooked horses," Mr. Glick of Gardner Road said. "[Using the slings] is not really as simple as it sounds. It's kind of an issue."
Dan Kanis, co-owner of Nelson's Agri Center in Viroqua, said he called city officials in Augusta, where slings behind horses are used, and there have been some safety issues because the horses spook easily from the slings.
He said he also talked with city officials in Loyal, who went through a similar situation where there were struggles between the Amish community and the city. In that situation, the Amish community said they could take their business to another city. Instead, what happened was the city and Amish agreed to a set of routes throughout the city that the Amish use. In that situation the Amish take care of most of the clean-up, although what they can't get to for safety reasons the city takes care of it.
Enos Glick said it's sometimes difficult for one person to clean up after the horses.
"It's a responsibility you guys have to take," David Treptow of Main Street, Viroqua, said. "Just clean the mess up, that's all I ask. If we allow this, then people walking their dogs, if the dog dumps in somebody's yard, they don't have to clean it up anymore."
Krause said motorcyclists and bicyclists told him that it was a safety hazard dodging the manure or spinning out in it.
Several people in the crowd spoke out against the council's request for the Amish to clean up after the horses, stating people driving cars cause more damage to the environment than the horses.
"I myself wouldn't have too much problem keeping the horses out of the city," Enos Glick said. "We could try that if it comes to that. We realize some people don't have a problem and some do."
"We don't want to be a problem for you guys," Mr. Glick of Gardner Road said. "We'd rather find some other solutions. We might be able to find other towns that we can go to. We don't want to be in your way."
"We're the last people to want you to go somewhere else," Krause said. "But the people who are complaining have rights also. What I'd like to see happen is try to clean up after yourselves a little bit."
Krause also recommended people who have comments or suggestions about this issue to mail them into City Hall, 220 S. Main St., Viroqua, or speak during the period for public participation at the regular city council meetings the second and last Tuesdays of each month.
No decision was made at the informational meeting. The Amish will discuss their options among their community and schedule another meeting with the council in the future.

5 Relationship Zones Worse than the Friend Zone
5 Relationship Zones Worse than the Friend Zone . The Internet loves hating on "the friend zone," because the Internet sees friendship as the highest form of torture a horrible woman can impose on a sweet and infallible man, because the Internet is patrolled by the young and immature.
I'm not here to explain that "being in the friend zone" says less about the person who "put" you there than it does about the skewed way you view relationships (although, yes, someone should teach you that at some point). I am here to tell you that you're focusing so much energy on avoiding the friend zone that you're missing the REAL threats …
#5. The "No One I'm Interested in Is Attracted to Me" Zone
Everyone finishes the occasional date feeling like there wasn't any connection, but when you're in this zone, you finish every interaction like this. You have such high demands for similarity that anything short of a carbon copy of you is going to be deemed alien and distant by your crazy-ass brain, and you'll force them away from you with a defensive preemptive rejection. Because the truth is, your brain has tricked you into thinking that people who are attracted to you aren't worth your time.
It's counter-intuitive, because "high standards" is a good thing in most contexts, like choosing what brick to build your house out of or what gas to put in your car, but human beings aren't made of brick or gasoline or anything else you can buy, so if your "standards" are anything other than "Does this person make me really happy and horny a lot?" then you're unnecessarily narrowing your options and missing out on some killer sex. It's not that no one is happy being alone, and it's not that you should just "take whatever you can get." But if you find yourself scanning prospective mating partners for flaws rather than just enjoying their company, your whole approach to other humans could probably do with some revisions.
Pop culture has given us an insane and unrealistic perception of what human relationships are, and the most insane recent example has got to be from How I Met Your Mother, when the German character Klaus tells Ted that Lebenslanger Schicksalschatz (or "love," because the joke is that German words are long) "isn't something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously," which is the most psychotic relationship advice that hasn't been banned from Kickstarter.
Love doesn't work like facial recognition software or Ikea furniture, because it's a feeling, and when you're used to being lonely, even the best kind of companionship in the world can be scary.
#4. The "I Always Need to Be in a Relationship" Zone
If the description in that last entry sounds like it could've been written by a space alien, that may be because for you, getting into a relationship has never been that hard. You know all the tricks: If you're shy, there's beer or spirits. If you don't like beer or spirits, there's OK Cupid, where you can organize your life's stats like a D&D character. And if you're a fundamentally uninteresting person, you can take people to karaoke bars. For you, the hard part of a relationship isn't getting someone to like you or want to spend the night naked — for you, the hard part is being OK when that's not happening.
Epik World
No one likes loneliness, because if they do they don't call it loneliness, they call it "me time." But for some people it's not just a bummer, it's a paralyzing fear. Not having someone to call who has to answer means that you might have to spend a few nights alone, getting to know yourself and your own thoughts and, it can be scary, what if you suck?
For every girl out there who's too afraid to smile back at the cute guy at the opposite end of the bar, there's a girl who'd rather spend her night humping a total stranger than wake up by herself. The one that sounds like less of a problem to you can probably give you a pretty big hint as to which category you need to work on.
#3. The "We've Been Doing This Forever, We May as Well Stick With It" Zone
The original draft of The Last House on the Left featured the father of the hero, Dr. John Collingwood, murdering a serial killer with a scalpel. His strategy was to hit him in a thousand small places, until the killer would finally die from a thousand tiny cuts. Wes Craven eventually replaced it with a chainsaw because a) chainsaws are awesome, and b) he didn't want his movie to be a metaphor for a common relationship problem.
Epik World
Breakups aren't always big, covered in serrated metal teeth, and explosively violent — some are long and slow and end with both parties collapsing exhausted by both lack of restful sleep and blood loss. When you aren't naturally confrontational and you get into a relationship with someone who is just as used to making small concessions as you, it's easy to just get along without actually being happy. For years, you find yourself thinking, "Sure, we don't like much of the same stuff, and we like to spend our free time differently, and we don't agree on anything, but we're rarely actually fighting (if you're not swearing or throwing stuff, it isn't fighting), so maybe this is as good as it gets."
The dirty trick at the core of this issue is that you'll be forced to break up for what feels like selfish reasons ("I need to see what else is out there"; "There has to be more to relationships than this"; "I really wanna explore the world") even though it's really what's best for everyone.
#2. The "Staying in Contact Forever" Zone
This might be a new zone, invented in the past decade or so, which makes it all the more terrifying: the "staying in contact" zone, which has been made all the worse by Facebook, Twitter, cellphones, and the rest of the secretly evil marvels of technology.
Epik World
But to understand this zone of the future, we, paradoxically, must first look backward, into the zones of the past. So come with me, Internet friends, on a journey to the time of Dracula.
When Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) went to Dracula's castle, he left behind the beautiful Mina Murray (Winona Ryder), but they stayed in contact with letters. But letters take time to travel, so this relationship was tempered with patience and love, and then Harker boned a bunch of vampire babes in Dracula (Gary Oldman)'s basement (careful with that link, there are boobs). These days, that relationship could never have happened that way because Mina would've texted Jonathan "goodnight, sweetheart!" right before that girl … bit his thing off, or whatever the hell it is she's doing. And then he would've felt embarrassed and called the whole thing off.
When you're in a messed up relationship, the hardest part is pulling yourself out, or never texting that person again when you're drunk or just lonely. But with modern social media, that's gotten even harder. It's not enough to simply stop calling them; you have to unfriend them on Facebook (a proactive step), and even then you're going to see them in your feed if you have any mutual friends, and your cellphone might auto correct weird words to their name, or you may have interactions on something called Snap chat, because what the hell is that. Oh, it's a social media app with a constantly changing TOS and interface, just like every other social media app. Keeping up with the latest trends on the Internet isn't just about keeping in touch with your friends — it's about not keeping in touch with them, too. And sometimes that's a whole lot harder.
#1. The "I Don't Want to Ruin the Friendship" Zone
Surprise! This is what the actual friend zone is!
If you've ever been in "the friend zone," remember that you weren't put there by anyone but yourself, and for evidence you need look no further than the episode of Friends that popularized the term (according to Wikipedia).
Ross wants to sleep with Rachel, and Rachel doesn't know, and Ross is trying to work up the courage to tell her, and Friends lasted 10 seasons on that joke. You might be thinking that Rachel is horrible for forcing Ross into that situation by not just sleeping with him, if you're the kind of sociopath who thinks that women are responsible for every problem that befalls a man. The real problem there is that Ross doesn't respect himself enough to act on his feelings and doesn't respect Rachel enough to be honest. He's kind of a prick, because secretly wanting to be intimate with someone but not telling anyone because you want to manipulate them into sexing you without being honest about your intentions means that you're kind of a prick.
Epik World
Friendship and romance are different. You can't trade one for the other. If you're in love with one of your friends, then you've already ruined the friendship through the simple involuntary act of wanting to fuck them. If you wanna wait it out and try to be friends again, do that. If you wanna act on it, do that. If you wanna sit on the sidelines and try to puppeteer a person into sleeping with you without letting them know that's what you're trying to do, then you're only technically not a rapist. And I wouldn't put that on a T-shirt, either.

WVNCC | West Virginia Northern Community College
A pair of Wheeling historians and authors will present a program on "Mourning Traditions" at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, in the B&O Building auditorium on the Wheeling campus of West Virginia Northern Community College.
The program by Judi Hendrickson, an academic affairs secretary at Northern, and Jeanne Finstein, is free and open to the public. They explained their presentation as follows: "To describe 19th century mourning traditions, this presentation first will outline the conditions of the time, including disease, lack of sterile practices, diets that lacked essential vitamins and nutrients, and medical treatments barely a step above witchcraft – all of which made death a very common occurrence.
"As the Civil War added another cause for mourning, rituals became more clearly defined and adhered to as much as finances and circumstances allowed. In large part, the stage had been set for these traditions by England's Queen Victoria, who mourned the death of her husband for decades. Other traditions grew out of necessity – flowers at funerals, for example, to mask the odor of death and wakes that served as a safeguard against premature burial."
Hendrickson and Finstein will describe these and many other traditions of the time, some of which continue to be observed. Their talk will be illustrated with pictures, showing such things as mourning garb and vintage photographs. They will be dressed in mourning attire of the historical period being reviewed.
They have extensive experience in researching and presenting topics of historical interest. Both are long-time members of Friends of Wheeling, a local historic preservation organization. Finstein is an educational software developer with Polyhedron Learning Media.

Brace yourselves. I have unbelievable information to report. I totally missed my Seinfeld fix today. I usually catch it on TBS. I haven't started shaking or anything, but I am considering subscribing to HULU+, and streaming a few episodes later. Yes. This is happening. This is America, dammit. Nobody should have to go more than 12 hours between Seinfeld reruns. We're a civilized country, for gosh sakes. Ask anyone who plans to vote in the upcoming POTUS election. They'll tell you, (to vote for their candidate).
I'm in a mood. It involves my being too lazy to identify it as good or bad. I passed a threshold in therapy today. I didn't realize it at the time, but it became quite clear later. As with all challenging things in life, the ones you choose to face will come to a point where you have to decide if you will continue fighting onward, or if you're going to cut your losses and try another tactic. Once that brief window closes, you can either decide to fight onward, or you can decide to allow it to level you. I'm not 100% convinced that the latter is an actual choice, or if it just happens sometimes. Either way, hesitating is foolish. Nothing good can come of it when you're playing chicken with yourself.
So the way I see it, I have to fight onward. I can't pursue a tactic I know will fail. So onward it is. I'm scared. I was going to say I hate that feeling, but who doesn't? I'm vulnerable because I chose to trust my therapist. It's not something I regret. It feels to me a lot like posing nude for an art class. Intellectually, you know they are looking at your naked body, and are now privy to a part of you that was previously private, but also that they aren't seeing you as a person, but as a form to recreate. So you pose, and you wrestle with your mind and self esteem, and it becomes a whole new level of privacy. They can see your naked body, but they can't know the many thoughts racing through your mind as they stare. (It's an experience where you can measure positive personal growth in a single afternoon. I highly recommend it).
So I'll be scared, and I'll probably have some nightmares here and there. She told me up front how things were likely to go, and so far she's been spot on. I've been scared before. It's very uncomfortable, but I can survive it. Some people like that feeling, and are thrilled by it. And of course I can survive nightmares. So it's not really a mountain. More like a hill. I'll just lean in.

"Always Dreaming just wouldn't come back", Lanerie said.
A groom unwraps a leg covering on Kentucky Derby victor Always Dreaming as he prepares for a wash following a walk on the track at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Friday, May 19, 2017.
Watching fans enjoy a behind-the-scenes view of the backstretch during the popular and free "Sunrise at Old Hilltop" tours and get a chance to witness a close-up look at the Preakness horses and also interact with legends like Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, is all part of what makes spending a morning at Pimlico on Preakness week such an enjoyable and memorable experience.
Preakness Stakes contender Classic Empire walks onto the track as the sun rises at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Wednesday, May 17, 2017. Also pictured at left is trainer Todd Pletcher. That could mean that Always Dreaming and Classic Empire, breaking from the 4 and 5 gates respectively, will duel early and fade later.
Always Dreaming will attempt to be the fourth Kentucky Derby victor in the last six years to finish first in the Preakness. Four of his rivals are back to take him on in the second leg of the Triple Crown. Mine That Bird was the 50-1 upset victor of the 2009 Kentucky Derby.
Notes: War Emblem posted a three-quarter length victory over Magic Weisner. "Belmont is our home track, and I'd love to go for it".
He might not look like a beast, the way American Pharoah did, but this is a horse who might have what it takes.
Protecting Windows-Based Computers From WannaCry Ransomware
Your vehicle and television, the traffic lights and signals in your city and national power grid are all computers. Companies providing financial technology are struggling to ensure that all ATMs are running on updated software.
This is how trainers talk in the days leading to a race, of course.
The Preakness position two weeks after the Derby is too soon for Pletcher. Giacomo got stuck with an outside post in the Preakness and finished 9 ¾ lengths behind the favored Afleet Alex. "They could go at it right from the start". Barbaro was euthanized several months later due to complications from that injury. Bernardini (2006), Rachel Alexandra (2009) and Exaggerator (2016) are the only three non-Derby runners to wear the Black-Eyed Susans during that time frame.
After all the No. 2 finisher at the Derby, a sturdy and consistent colt named Lookin at Lee, is here. The elder Bonomo was in a meeting in NY when the deal went down in Lexington, Kentucky, and he wasn't happy when he heard the price.
"With Super Saver, my concern was that the two-week turnaround was a little quick for him".
Five fillies have won the Preakness in its illustrious history. Or like Animal Kingdom in 2011. "Historically, I think the horses that have run well in the Derby run back well in the Preakness". That colt earned Pletcher his first Derby victory before finishing eighth in the Preakness. The Belmont Stakes, three weeks later in NY, completes the crown jewels.
Notes: Orb started on the rail and was never in contention at the Preakness, which was won by Oxbow.
Ridden by John Velazquez, Always Dreaming will break from the No. 4 post in the 10-horse field Saturday. California Chrome tied for fourth place in the Belmont Stakes, which was won by Tonalist. California Chrome started the trend in 2014 before faltering in the Belmont, while American Pharoah went on to become the first Triple Crown victor in almost four decades in 2015.
Trump Praises Macron for His 'Big Win' in France's Election
He also said the names of Macron's 577 candidates in the legislative elections would be announced this Thursday. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker put it bluntly: "With France, we have a particular problem".
Prosecutors: Times Square driver wanted to 'kill them all'
He pleaded guilty last week to harassment in the Bronx after he was accused of pulling a knife on a notary in his home. Details of the circumstances were not immediately available. "I don't think there was actually time for screaming".

In my final year at Auckland Grammar School (2014) I was fortunate enough to be asked to coach junior rugby, water polo and swimming because I was representing the school in these sports. I was able to develop a bond with both the boys and their parents, of whom some asked me to privately tutor their sons. From there I gradually picked up more students ranging from 13-18 years. In the lead up to the end of year exams I had roughly 9 boys and 3 girls that I saw on a weekly basis, if not more. In terms of courses I had to tutor NCEA and Cambridge at each level. Additionally in 2015 I tutored a few people I was living with in my hall of residence for first year stats papers. I am an experienced maths tutor, english tutor, science tutor and economics tutor.

North Wales Police use unmarked lorry to catch drivers
'Distracted' drivers are being caught out by police using an unmarked lorry.
An operation on Tuesday along the A55 corridor saw drivers being fined for using mobile phones and other offences.
North Wales Police said the use of unmarked vehicles to identify offenders would "remain a priority".
Sgt Andy Roberts said "distractions" at the wheel included speaking on phones, eating, disruptive passengers and "checking the internet".
He added: "During the operation officers observed the drivers of HGVs, large vans and cars committing distraction offences and all were dealt with by fixed penalty notices.
"Our focus here is to ensure drivers have full control of their vehicle at all times, in our efforts to reduce the number killed and injured on our roads."
He said the use of unmarked vehicles "to assist us identify offending motorists to either educate or prosecute individuals will remain a priority in our goal to reduce the number of killed and seriously injured on our roads".

21 Peacock Tattoos With Unique Meanings
The peacock is a majestic bird with a colorful array of feathers that looks extremely appealing when done right with a tattoo.
In addition to the fact the peacock is visually appealing, it possesses qualities that have a broad appeal across the masses. When the peacock is fanning their feathers, the radiant blue colors and distinct variation of colors represent a different peacock tattoo meaning for everyone.
Possessing qualities that appeal to both men and women, transforming the design with a fun and vibrant colors can really help to drive the point home this person is trying to get across.
The Traditional Meaning of the Peacock
The striking impressive features of the peacock make it an ideal candidate for those who love their body ink to scream they are a marvelous unique specimen and not afraid to show off.
In ancient Chinese tradition, the peacock represents royalty and nobility, an emblem that signifies rank and extremely high status in that society.
In the military, the feathers of the peacock were given to those servicemen for being recognized as providing impeccable service and deserving honorable mention in their military positions.
The ancient Chinese would create beautiful peacock emblems and badges that were given to those in high office or at the top of the military chain.
The Divine Peacock Meaning
In Buddhism, the peacock in fact, holds a very symbolic relationship with followers. The peacock represents expansive consciousness, encompassing all the qualities of the compassionate goddess Kuan-Yin. Take a close look at the feathers of the peacock and you will notice little distinctions that resemble eyes.
These eyes represent in Buddhist culture a watchfulness concept, or what is better known as the omniscient essence of a person's soul. That watching appeal also has deep roots in Christianity as well, which represent the eyes of the church, Lord, God, Jesus, over the faithful.
In many Christian societies, the peacock is a symbol of resurrection and immortality, similar to that of the phoenix symbol.
The Peacock Tattoo Meaning Today
One of the reasons the peacock tattoo has such a wide appeal is the numerous meanings associated with this animal. The peacock represents for many a status symbol of pride, showing off those big colorful features to mark territory and attract the opposite sex too.
This stunningly beautiful creature can represent love, pride, and luxury, or a desire to have the beautiful things in life.
The peacock can symbolize royalty, vitality, nobility, and especially sexuality. The bigger and more colorful the tattoo design, the more importance can be placed on generosity, longevity, compassion, and immortality.
The watchfulness of this majestic bird has deep roots in the family and dates back several centuries in a variety of religions.
Those who are into skin art love the ability to get completely creative with the design and the peacock tattoo meaning. This solar bird can represent life, health, glory, radiance, and vitality.
The unique color combinations of the peacock allow the wearer to incorporate many of their favorite colors to complement the representations that they closely associate this tattoo with.

Summer is in full swing around here. Full of no schedules, sleeping in, hanging out with friends, swimming, enjoying life. This time of year is a blessing. I get to be a more fun mom. There's a lot less nagging to do and we're all grateful!
Our new neighborhood is turning out to be a dream come true. The kids play (gasp) outside. They have new friends. There's a neighborhood 4th of July parade which will pass right in front of our house & a block party on our street the end of July. I'm giddy with it all, I tell you.
One of the best things about this summer is having our own pool. I can't tell you what a pain it was to have to walk across the street to swim. Can you imagine? All kidding aside, I can watch them swim while: gardening, cooking, sketching (inside). The bottom line is they get to swim more often.
I'm so happy about their latest project! They are suddenly into Manga. I know, everybody else was ages ago, but better late than never. I got these books from the library and they've been drawing for days. That makes this artist mama so happy! Very little time has been spent with the tv so far. Must make sure that continues!
Here's a little project I'm working on. Drapes for my bedroom! We need these so badly. I won't torture you with the details, but we need these asap! You're welcome, neighbors!

The Amalfi Coast is hands down one of the most picturesque places in the world, and one place that I am certain that we will keep returning to, time and time again. You've probably heard all the hype about it and guess what? It's all true. The Amalfi Coast is a 50 KM stretch of coastline along the southern edge of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula and is a UNESCO-listed landscape. It is lined with stunning towns running from Positano all the way along to Vietri sul Mare.
After our time in Rome, Sorrento and Capri, I was sure it couldn't get any better, but the Amalfi Coast proved me wrong – there is so much more that Italy has to offer. Read on for what you need to know to plan your Amalfi Coast itinerary, including the best things to do in the Amalfi Coast, how to get to the Amalfi Coast and the best time to visit!
Planning a trip to Italy? Click here for 14 things you should know before you go to Italy!
How to get to the Amalfi Coast
Unlike Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre and Venice, the Amalfi Coast is not easily reached by train. In order to travel to the Amalfi Coast, you will need to travel via Naples/Sorrento/Salerno. Read on for how to get to Amalfi Coast from Naples and other cities in Italy:
By train and ferry: Naples is easily reached by train from most major Italian cities. Once you have reached Naples, you can opt to take the local commuter Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento (I highly recommend against taking this train but it is the budget option, read this for why) and then catch a ferry from Sorrento to Positano or Amalfi (the town).
Alternatively, you can take a train to Salerno instead of Naples. From Salerno there are ferries and buses to the Amalfi Coast. H/T Isobel from Testaccina.
By express train and ferry: From Naples, you can take the Campania Express to Sorrento and then catch a ferry from Sorrento.
By shuttle bus and ferry: There are also shuttle buses between Naples Airport and Sorrento operated by Curreri Viaggi. The timetable is available here and the journey takes just over an hour. The shuttle costs 10 Euros each way and is a great way to get to Sorrento if you are not keen on the train or ferry.
By ferry: Unfortunately it does not appear that there are direct ferries from Naples to Positano/Amalfi, so you will need to first take a ferry from Naples to Sorrento, and then another from Sorrento to the Amalfi Coast.
By private transfer: I can recommend ADM's chauffeur service highly for transfer to/from Naples. We paid approximately 85 Euros for transfer to Sorrento in a Mercedes Benz sedan, it will cost slightly more to go all the way to the Amalfi Coast. You will need to book your transfer in advance here.
The best places to stay in the Amalfi Coast
There are several options for where to stay and your transportation options will vary depending on what you choose. If you don't want to blow your entire vacation on 1 night in Positano ($800 a night? Are you kidding me?), then look to some of the smaller towns for incredible accommodation options: Atrani, Praiano, Maiori, Minori, Conca dei Marini, or Furore.
Staying above Conca dei Marini at Solaria, a family-run B&B, and using it as a base to visit the rest of the coast was a great decision because it exceeded our expectations and allowed us to retreat to a quiet sanctuary after dealing with the crowds during the day.
While the location is a little further away from the main towns and requires your own car or scooter, it was perfect as we were looking for a true Italian experience. Our hosts, Emilio and his family, were extremely welcoming and gave us great recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to go to for dinner. Click here to book your stay at Solaria or click here for even more accommodation options in the Amalfi Coast!
One of the best parts of staying here was the breakfast. Bruschetta. Omelette. Homemade cakes. Freshly brewed Italian coffee. One morning, Emilio's wife made us this pasta carbonara frittata: I still dream about this magical frittata.
But here is my biggest tip for visiting the Amalfi Coast: You do not have to stay in the Amalfi Coast to visit the Amalfi Coast!
You can also base yourself in Sorrento and hop on a bus or ferry for day trips to Positano or Amalfi. The upside is that accommodation prices tend to be lower in Sorrento and you can also easily access other destinations like Pompeii, Capri, Ischia and Procida. A wonderful place to stay in Sorrento is Vhome, a lovely B&B located in a residential building down a side street in a relatively low-key area of Sorrento. Click here to book your stay at Vhome!
Another fantastic option is B&B Veru, right on Corso Italia (the main street running through Sorrento – the location can't be beat). Cristiana is a wonderful host and the boutique rooms are spacious, clean and modern. Although it is on the main street, street noise is non-existent. Click here to book your stay at B&B Veru!
Getting around the Amalfi Coast
Wondering how to get around the Amalfi Coast? The good news is that it is relatively easy, even if you don't have a car!
Getting around by car: Don't do it! Parking is way too scarce and expensive, and traffic is a nightmare during the peak and shoulder seasons.
Getting around by ferry: There are regular ferries between Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. Make sure you check what time the last ferry back to where you are staying is, as these tend to be in the early evening between 5:30 and 6:30 PM.
Getting around by public SITA bus: There are public buses that run between all the towns, but because of traffic you may often find yourself waiting 30-40 minutes between buses, and the buses get packed. Click here for the bus schedules and routes.
Getting around by hop on hop off bus: We noticed these iconic red hop on/off buses for the first time this past trip (2017). You can now use these buses to get around and they depart every hour or two. Click here for the bus schedules and routes.
Getting around by private transfer: If you have the budget, you can also arrange for a private driver. You will need to book your tour in advance here.
However, the absolute best way to get around is by scooter. Parking is far and few inbetween, and traffic can be a nightmare. With a scooter we often zipped and zoomed past cars that were stuck in traffic! We rented a scooter from Freeway Scooter in Sorrento and their service & rates are outstanding. Make sure you email ahead during the peak season to book a scooter in advance.
The best time to visit the Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is crushingly busy during July and August and I would recommend avoiding traveling here during those months. May, June and October are all extremely wonderful options as it is still warm enough along the coast but less hectic. Check out my packing list for the Amalfi Coast here.
Which towns should I visit along the Amalfi Coast?
There are so many wonderful towns along the Amalfi Coast, so read on for some of the best towns to visit in the Amalfi Coast and the top things to do in each of those places!
Positano is without a doubt the most popular (and busy) town along the Amalfi Coast. Beautiful Italian houses cascade like a waterfall down the face of the mountain, and it is a great place to watch the colors of the sunset at dusk. Take a walk through narrow streets and shops down to the marina, then head to a bar for a few happy hour drinks.
Le Sireneuse is a upscale hotel in Positano with a champagne bar that boasts excellent views, but we found that it was hard to get a table with a decent view unless you make a booking in advance. Franco's, its sister bar, is just down the street and is a beautiful al fresco terrace overlooking the coast with great cocktails (at half the price of drinks at Le Sireneuse) and some snacks – try to head here early at 6 PM when they open to snag a table by the terrace window, or call ahead for a reservation but you'll get a great view pretty much anywhere you sit.
Parking is incredibly scarce in Positano – we parked at Garage Mandara which was just up the street from Le Sireneuse. It's expensive but that's to be expected!
Ravello is perched high in the mountains and a wonderful destination to visit. Getting to Ravello is no easy feat and the road that leads you to this stunning place is just past the town of Amalfi. What's interesting is that while most tourists speak of Positano and Amalfi, almost every Italian we met said that Ravello was not to be missed: "magico!" they would say.
We spent the afternoon walking around this small town, and opted to skip Villa Rufolo to head to Villa Cimbrone instead. Villa Cimbrone is a short fifteen to twenty minute walk from the main piazza, and was probably one of my favorite places to visit on the Amalfi Coast, I could have easily spent a few hours just wandering around in here. The gardens and statues of Ceres (Demeter) and Bacchus (Dionysus – the god of wine. My kinda bloke!) are stunning, but the jewel in the crown is the Terrace of Infinity with a sweeping panoramic view of the coast.
The town of Amalfi is located right before the road that goes up to Ravello, with a beautiful cathedral in the main square and plenty of restaurants and gelaterias. Parking, even for scooters, is scarce and the main road comes to a standstill on the weekends, so I would advise against driving the Amalfi Coast.
We didn't spend a boatload of time in Amalfi but did have a great dinner at Da Gemma and spent a few hours another day just walking around and eating arancini, pizza and freshly battered and deep fried calamari that came stuffed in a paper cone.
About 1 KM from Amalfi was the entrance to Duoglio beach at the 28 KM marker on the main road. It's a little difficult to find but there are signs for water sports and the beach club hanging outside the gate so keep your eyes peeled. There is little to no parking here – something to bear in mind. The beach is 400 steps down…and back up, which makes this beach much less crowded than some of the other ones along the coast. It's 100% worth it – trust me on this – the water here is crystal clear.
This town has one of the best little swimming spots along the coast and you don't have to walk 400 steps to get down to it! Check out Cala di Furore where you can rent a sunbed for 5 Euros. The little shop even offers mini bottles of white wine!
Conca dei Marini
Conca dei Marini is home to the The Tower of the Capo di Conca and the Emerald Grotto. Most importantly, it is also home to one of the most amazing restaurants in the world (IMHO), Le Bonta del Capo. If you only have 1 meal in the Amalfi Coast, eat here. The food is authentic and scrumptious, the staff are incredibly friendly and the view is spectacular. I believe they are also able to send a vehicle to pick you up from your restaurant if you aren't able to arrange your own transportation.
The undiscovered little gem of a town that we stumbled upon when we tried to drive along the main road as far East as we could. Maiori, although still touristy, is quiet and much less hectic than the other main towns. We had quite possibly the most delicious pastries stuffed with vanilla cream from Pasticceria Napoli and I was close to asking the old lady who runs the shop to be my adoptive nonna.
If you make it to Maiori, do not skip Chiosco Bar S. Francesco, a little restaurant along the beach. It looks completely unassuming and even a little bit kitschy with its carnival-esque exterior, but the owner's wife cooks up a mean buffalo cheese lasagne and ravioli. Possibly one of the best "home cooked" Italian meals that we had on the Amalfi Coast.
Booking tip: There are tons of great accommodation options in the Amalfi Coast – if you want to stay somewhere away from the crowds look into hotels and B&Bs in Praiano, Maiori, Minori, Conca dei Marini, Atrani or Furore. Click here for more Amalfi Coast accommodation options and current rates!

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – An autopsy report concludes that a toddler fatally injured at a carnival in Wichita, Kansas, died after grabbing an electrically charged fence.
The report cited Tuesday by the Wichita Eagle says 15-month-old Pressley Bartonek of Conway Springs was diagnosed as being brain dead five days after being shocked May 12.
According to the report, the toddler was at a small carnival on a parking lot when she grabbed metal fencing and became unresponsive by the time her father freed her hands.
The report says that a test by an electrical company showed about 300 volts coming from the fence.
The carnival operator, Evans United Shows based in Plattsburg, Mo., has not publicly commented about the matter.
Wichita police are investigating.

Have you ever heard an ancient Hindu temple built in the name of the sun god? And it is the Sun Temple in Konark, Orissa, whose shape likes giant chariot and are at the age of 13th- century. Many people also know the temple because of its exquisite stone carvings that cover its interiors and exteriors.
Located 35 Km North of Puri, the Sun Temple is the most popular tourist destination in Orissa. People from across the world, travel to India just to get a glimpse of this magnificent World Heritage Site.
What to See
The Sun Temple in Konark was built in the form of a huge chariot for the sun god, Surya. It has 12 pairs of stone-carved wheels and seven galloping horses. Of these seven horses only one remains intact today.
The temple architecture of Sun Temple symbolizes the passage of time which according to Hindus is under the control of sun god. The seven horses, which pull the temple towards the East into the dawn, represent days of a week; the twelve pairs of wheels, represent twelve months of a year whereas the eight spokes in each of the wheels symbolize the eight stages of a woman's day.
The main entrance of the temple is situated in front of the 'hall of offering' also known as the Bhogamandapa. This hall was used for ritual dance performances in ancient times. You will notice sculptures of musicians and dancers intrinsically carved on the walls of this hall.
The roof of the Sun Temple has three tiers covered in statues of musicians and dancers offering prayer to the sun god. A Shiva Nataraja sculpture in the posture of a cosmic dance can be seen on the bottom of the platform. Just beyond the porch you will find a double staircase that leads to a shrine. The shrine contains the statue of the sun god which is a beautifully carved green chlorite stone sculpture. This sculpture is one of the masterpieces of Konarak Sun Temple. The sculpture of lord Surya is accompanied by the charioteer, Aruna, at his feet. From here you can climb down to the remains of the inner of the temple, where the deity was originally enshrined.
Other sculptures decorating the Sun temple's exterior wall include animals, floral patterns, mythical beasts and aquatic monsters. The twelve pairs of giant wheels are beautifully carved. Each of the eight spokes of these wheels is decorated with figurative carvings.
Getting There
There are regular bus and jeep services from Puri that will take you to Konark. This journey lasts usually for about an hour. Alternatively, you can also take an auto rickshaw to Konark Sun Temple from Puri.

Saturday March 21: today was an amazing day with a bunch of amazing musicians and photographers coming together in Midtown, NYC for a Concert Photography Workshop. Along with my good friend and colleague, and fellow photographer Fredda Gordon (http://freddaphotography.com/), we launched InFocusVisions.com where we are teaching photo workshops and photo tours. As one of the students said yesterday, "this is one of the best workshops I have ever taken. Not only are we hearing great music, but we are REALLY learning how to photograph them. This is great-we aren't just sitting there taking notes but actually shooting." Another student said "Great class!! Deb and Fredda taught us so much yesterday. Meet some great people. The live music was GREAT!! Thanks ladies!!" "Had a great time."
While listening to the great music of Dick Pape and Becca Atkins of GypsyTimeSurf (https://www.facebook.com/GypsyTimeSurf)
Jon Christopher Allen (http://jonchristopherallen.com)
Rob L
Bobby Mahoney (http://bobbymahoneymusic.com)...the students got to experience what it wold REALLY be like photographing musicians in a club setting, theater, or stadium. They were given the obstacles of learning how to react fast and change the settings on their camera when the light suddenly changes all while shooting manual, having other photographers or fans get in their way, and what to do when a musician "eats" the microphone and won't move away and many other "real life" concert situations.
Here is just a small sampling of what the students shot.
We have many other workshops coming up as well as a Central Park at night photo shoot on Friday March 27. For this and all our other workshops, be sure to book mark www.InFocusVisions.com and check back ofter.

Tanzania is a country in Eastern Africa within the African Great Lakes region. Parts of the country are in Southern Africa. It is bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north; Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique border Tanzania to the south and the Indian Ocean borders it to the east. Apart from its peace and security, Tanzania has the highest point snow capped mountain, ever experienced wildebeest migration in world history with more attractions. It is a large land animal migration.
Attractions You'll See In Tanzania
You'll be amazed at the wealth of national parks, conservation areas, and mountains you'll find in Tanzania.
National parks
like the Serengeti. "Serengeti" comes from the Maasai chat "Siring" acceptable as "Endless plain". Manyara has amazing Lions known to climb trees. Tarangire is the plain for elephants. Saadani is the only national park in the world that meets the Ocean, Arusha. These are just a few of the national parks you'll find in Tanzania.
Conservation areas like Ngorongoro which is a protected area and World Heritage site. Ngorongoro's crown is a deep, volcanic crater and the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. It spans 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area. The Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder with animals, birds and natural vegetation.

diverse culture
of more than 100 tribes from all angles of the country that is from the north, south, west and ast. Tanzania comprises four groups of language and culture originality from Cushites, Nilotes, Bush Men and the Bantu which is the largest population of all. There three Bushman tribes in Tanzania who are Hudzabe, Datoga and Tindiga, among the few remaining hunter – gathering groups on the planet. The Hadza are not closely genetically related to any other people.
While traditionally classified with the Khoisan languages, primarily because it has clicks, the Hadza language appears to be an isolate, unrelated to any other. Maasai are a Nilotic ethnic group inhabiting Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania. They are among the best known local populations due to their residence near the many game parks of the African Great Lakes, and their distinctive customs and dress.
The Maasai speak the Maa language, a member of the Nilo-Saharan family that is related to Dinka of Nile Valley and Nuer of South Sudan. With all the tribes with its diverse culture, Tanzania is still peaceful like no other African country that attracts tourists. The most numerous is Iraqw, with half a million speakers. These languages are believed to have been originally spoken by Southern Cushite agro-pastoralists from Ethiopia, who in the third millennium BC began migrating southward into the Great Rift Valley. The last group of tribes is the Bantu, which is comprised of a large group including the Haa and Haya.
Tanzania Historical

News Clip: THE notion of a user's manual for search engines might seem counterintuitive. Give people an empty search box and a button to click on and somehow they know exactly what to do.

It's not the water that tastes off.
Your old bite valve is starting to look like your dog's chew toy, and with the way it leaks, it looks like you might be the one marking your territory everywhere you go. Switch out that old, nasty valve with the Dakine Replacement Bite Valve. High water flow, a twist on/off valve, and an easy-to-clean design makes this one mighty fine drinking valve.

DAKINE Replacement Bite Valve
Super easy to replace!
Replacement for the Win!
Stoked to find this Dakine Replacement Valve! My hydration pack is as good as new!
Very easy replacement.
doesn't fit
I needed to replace my very worn dakine bite valve and finally ordered one at backcountry. It arrived fast, looked great, but it does not fit my older dakine set up. The diameter of the connector is a bit smaller than the hose.
Replace as needed
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
My old bite valve started leaking, so it was time for an upgrade. This new valve is a much better version. Slightly larger, better on/off lever. and a better water flow. All in all it is a welcome improvement to the old valve.
replacing parts saves money
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When I thought my bladder was trash because the valve was leaky I was so happy to find this replacement valve. I have 2 Dakine hydration packs and the valves both started leaking within a year, which is disappointing but at least you can replace them easily and affordably. I have had my camelback for 10 years and never a leaky valve issue.

- Vortex smoke cooling for a smoother inhale
- Endless smoking options to fit your mood
Hail, hail, the gangs all here! Your best gal Betty, who is a whiz at rolling joints, and you hate to see her talents go to waste. Chad, your man with the plan to cool his kind smoke in a nice bubbler. And the rookie, Justine. She's a lightweight who needs some work on building her tolerance. How can you possibly please them all? So many stoners, so many methods for smoking, and you want everybody to partake in this special session.
Well, here's an all around smoking system that gives you lots of choices while also giving you a full, pure, cooled smoke experience. It's the Jet Flash Smoke System! The Jet Flash pipe can be used with your favorite bong, or as a regular pipe, or you can even smoke your joint in there! I'm not done, it even comes with a one hitter attachment! The Jet Flash pipe is truly a one-size-fits-all accessory for any and all stoners.
The Jet Flash smoke system comes with an assortment of different attachments. It doesn't take a weed smoking Macgyver to figure out how to assemble it. You've got your molded-grip glass chamber, slide and mouthpiece, then your preference of a deep funnel glass slide that acts as a bubbler attachment, a spoon pipe that acts as a traditional bowl piece but with cooled smoke and a cleaner inhale, and a joint holder attachment for Betty that's also a one-hitter for Justine! You can also use the Jet Flash smoking system as an attachment companion to your regular bong. All held together securely with an included Keck Clip. And don't freak if you drop it –it's made of borosilicate glass by the appropriately named Blaze Glass.
Designed to fit your mood, you'll never be bored with the Jet Flash smoke system. If you just want to kick back and take it slow, puff calmly and cooly with the original pipe fit. Can't decide between a fatty joint and a super smooth, aerated bubbler hit? Cool your jets because the Jet Flash smoke system will aerate your thick smoke by sending it through their advanced funnel technology, no matter which method you choose. Need to make that gram last all week? Concentrate your cannabis with the one hitter attachment. One, two, three puffs and you're stoned in a flash!
The Jet Flash pipe is super clever and caters to every smoking preference. How in Bob's name does such a device work? Like a tornado, of course! The Jet Flash smoking system consists of three vortex notches. A small amount of air is allowed to pass through these notches. Like a dust bowl gathering on the great plains of Kansas, this creates a mini tornado effect. The smoke spins wildly in a spiral, tossing impurities to the walls and quickly cooling the smoke. Hook up the bubbler attachment with the included diffuser down pipe and the smoke is further diffused as it is filtered through the water in the bubbler chamber, cooling it quicker and further purifying it. Smooth like Barry White, baby! No more cough, cough, pass – just puff, puff, pass!

We are a non-profit organization that exists solely for the benefit of enjoying the expression of live jazz and to promote the education of this art form to our members and the general public. The Society presents jazz concerts and jam sessions. We also maintain an education fund to provide grants to Columbus State University music students to help them pursue jazz studies in college.
The Columbus Jazz Society began in the 80's as a few musicians got together monthly to play, sing and enjoy live jazz. As more and more musicians and their friends came together they found the need to locate into a common public area to accomodate everyone. This began at hotel convention rooms, then local restaurants, and a night club (The Loft) that would host them for the joy of the music. They later established a membership fee to cover the costs of paying musicians to insure that a full set of players would be in attendance. Any money over and above our society needs is used for charity.

St. Thomas Church/
In early March of 1987 Jim Sparrow, Sid Kaminsky and Jan Hyatt met to discuss the formation of a Jazz Society in Columbus. Sid had been active in the Jazz Society in the Savannah/St. Simon's area, Jim and his wife had been passionate about jazz for many years and Jan had been a member of the Hartford Jazz Society in Connecticut. They developed a list of 200 persons who were interested in Jazz as an art form. After discussion the trio decided that a meeting would be set in May and mailers would be sent to the list of 200. The group determined that if twenty five or more people attended the Jazz Society would continue, if attendance stood at twenty five or less the idea would be scraped. Twenty eight people came to the first meeting which was held on May 11th in the Ralston Hotel Mirror Room. Sid and Jan presented their thoughts on the project at the first meeting. Purpose, membership dues, name of society and election of officers was discussed.
The second meeting was held on June 8th and a slate of officers were elected: Jim Sparrow, President; Sid Kaminsky, Vice President; Jan Hyatt, Secretary and Ben Saunders, Treasurer. Special introductory annual membership dues were set at $20 for individuals and $40 for families through July 13th. Thereafter, annual memberships were $30 for individuals and $50 for families. Committees were formed for grants and research and for incorporation and tax exemption status. Tom Chadwick, David Morgan, Jan Hyatt and friends performed at the second meeting.
During the first year the society presented three concerts, 1) a concert at the Ralston with Claude Rivers and the Riviera Band plus PJ and Co., with a warm-up by Elwood Madeo/Jan Hyatt. 2) The Columbus College Jazz Band provided music for a meeting at the Ralston and 3) A performance at the Trade Center outdoor stage with Dallas Smith and Suzan Mazur which was also sponsored by corporate funding and by the Trade Center through Carter Seaton. The society also presented a showing of "Round Midnight" at the Plaza Theatre.
During the second year of the society the monthly "Jams" were developed based upon the San Francisco Jazz Society's Jams and brought to us by Elwood Madeo. Originally the jams were simple jams where the society provided a rhythm section and anyone could sit in and play. Eventually the concept of a "core band" developed with the "jam" session separate from the band performance.
