Interviews, Nostalgia in Fed Square
Savina Yannatou: ‘Improvisation is precious to me’
Posted on 8 March 2016 30 August 2020 AuthorNikolas Fotakis
Being a Greek expat in Australia, I have often found myself (a) succumbing to nostalgia (often taking the shape of a souvlaki, the sound of an old Greek song etc.) and (b) becoming a champion for the introduction of Greek jazz and improvised music to my new friends here. Both urges were triggered by the news of Savina Yannatou coming to perform in Australia. A truly magnificent singer, with an awe-inspiring vocal ability, she has been one of the most creative artists in the Greek music scene for the past 40 years. And although she may not be a household name, even in Greece, she has gained acclaim throughout Europe, notably for her work with her ensemble, Primavera en Salonico, comprised by some of the best Greek improvisers. The band collects, dissects and reinterprets traditional songs from the broader Mediterranean region, introducing a culture of diversity to the world. They started off with a collection of songs from the Sephardic Jewish-Spanish community of Thessaloniki, the city to which they returned with their latest album, “Songs of Thessaloniki”, released through the revered ECM records (in fact, Savina Yannatou is one of the rare vocalists on the eclectic ECM roster). I have been admiring Savina from a distance for years now, and I’m happy that I got the chance to actually interview her (for my day job), prior to her concerts in Melbourne and WOMADelaide, and ask her about her fearless forays in vocal improvisation.
AustralianJazz.Net: In what way has being part of the ECM roster has affected the evolution of Primavera en Salonico?
Savina Yannatou: ECM was an unexpected fortune to us. It was not something that we had anticipated. Surely, this collaboration has opened the doors of some festivals that were skeptical towards us. We became more known abroad, our albums are sold in music stores in other countries, they are reviewed in international publications. As far as our musical evolution, signing to ECM has led us to follow less traditional paths, in terms of sound and arrangements, opting for a contemporary music approach. I don’t mind that at all; the opposite would be a problem to me; I am not a traditional singer and I like to blend foreign elements with tradition. On the other hand, we have adopted the ECM ‘outlook’ in our arrangements, something that softens our playing dynamics, diminishing the free jazz side of me. In a way, it is as if our intellectual side prevails over our instincts.
AJN: You have been very thorough in your exploration of the potential of the human voice, through vocal improvisation. What has been your motive?
SY: My motive was to set myself free of the musical composition form, free from harmony and melody. In other words, I wanted to do whatever came to my head, even silliness; especially, silliness. I was tired of rules and discipline. This is how I found myself in the realm of free jazz, which was natural. I was a fan of Peter Kowald, whom I had seen playing in Greece, and I also admired singers such as Diamanda Galas, Tamia (Valmont) and Shainkho Namchylak. So, while playing with percussionist Nikos Touliatos, for a limited audience, I started to create my own vocabulary as an improvisor. Later on, I met with Peter Kowald again, we played as a duet for a couple of years and through him, I found myself in Wupertal, in a new world of hope an creativity, surrounded by new musicians, new musical codes, new people; German, English and French impovisors, Greek and Chinese visual artists, Pina Bausch with her goup; we were rehearsing by day, meeting at bars by night… It was a vibrant community of artists, assembled in one street in the city, with Peter in the centre.
AJN: What have you discovered about yourself, through improvisation?
SY: What was revealing, through free improvisation is that, when you start from zero, having no preconceptions and nothing prearranged when you’re on stage, you find yourself at the mercy of your own sound. The sound that you create, in its turn becomes the cause of a certain emotion, which creates the next sound, which creates the next emotion and so on. You’re not interpreting a musical piece, you are yourself interpreted, through your sound, through the musical piece that you randomly create at that specific time, on stage. This is a physical musical creative process that I knew nothing about, before delving into improvisation, and this is why it is precious to me and I don’t want to give it up.

World Floater Market Is Stable
The floating rig market was showing signs of stability in many of the world's major drilling basins. However, reports Offshore Data Services, demand for older, second-generation units continues to lag. Worldwide, 149 of the existing 179 floating drilling rigs are under contract and fleet utilization for these rigs is 83.2 percent. In its previous Offshore International Newsletter Market Outlook on floaters, which was published in July, utilization was 82.1 percent with 147 of the existing 179 floating rigs under contract. Activity may slack off in the closing months of the year as oil companies formulate their drilling plans for next year. With this in mind, closing out 2000 with utilization still in the low- to mid-80 percent range will place floating rig contractors in prime position to capitalize on expected E&P budget increases.
Second-Generation Semis Demand for second-generation semis has changed little since July, and utilization remained around 70 percent. In the U.S. Gulf this segment was signing contracts to work for $30,000 to $35,000 per day. In July, these rigs were making anywhere from $27,500 to $46,500 per day. Day rates are similarly mixed in the North Sea, where second-generation semis are signing new deals for $39,500 to $44,500 per day, compared to about $41,000 per day in July.
Third-Generation Semis Third-generation semis have fared pretty much the same as second-generation units over the last three months. Utilization stands at 85.1 percent with 40 of the world's 47 third-generation semis under contract.
However, with utilization holding steady in the 85 percent range, day rates have been under pressure to move up. In the North Sea, third-generation semis are landing new contracts with rates in the $42,000 to $67,500 range, a solid improvement from the $35,000 to $45,000 these rigs were making just three months previous. In the Norway/West of Shetlands region, day rates jumped from $57,000 to $130,000 per day in July to $90,000 to $160,000 today.
Fourth-Generation Semis Utilization is 100 percent with all of the world's 34 fourth-generation semis under contract.
However, day rates have moved very little due to the long-term nature of the contracts for these high-specification rigs. In the Gulf of Mexico, day rates increased slightly. Fourthgeneration semis in the region are signing contracts specifying day rates between $50,000 and $125,000. In July, the day rate range was from $49,000 to $139,700.
DP Drillships The DP drillship market has changed little, as with no rigs available for immediate work, utilization effectively is 100 percent. A couple of contract rollovers have taken place, leading to day rate increases. In the U.S. Gulf, DP drillships are signing contracts for about $ 130,000 per day, compared to about $ 118,100 per day in July. (Source: Offshore Data Services)

Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket Hammerless .25 ACP - Unique Serial Numbers
Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket .25 ACP Serial Numbers 1 & 2 with original August 25, 1896 patent and 1909 Colt Catalog.
The First Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket .25 ACP Automatic Pistols
Serial Numbers 1 and 2
© Sam Lisker, All rights reserved.
Colt’s Model 1908 Vest Pocket .25 ACP pistol (or “Model N” as it was referred to internally by the Colt factory) is perhaps one of the more interesting Colt models to collect. It was manufactured from 1908 until just after WWII, with the last pistol being shipped in 1948. Throughout production, there were a significant number of standard production and factory embellished variations of this model. Due to its size and small caliber, there is a relatively high survival rate of Vest Pocket .25s in better than average condition.
While the highest serial number was 420,705, the total production numbered approximately 409,000 pistols making it one of Colt’s best selling commercial automatic pistols. Until World War II, the Colt 1908 Vest Pocket was Colt’s fifth most popular model. It was only outperformed by the 1903 .32 ACP and Model of 1911 U.S. Army .45 ACP automatic pistols and the Official Police and Police Positive Special revolvers, four models for which there were large military contracts and police orders.
Collectors most frequently encounter six and occasionally five-digit serial number examples of the Model N. Seldom are four, three and two-digit serial numbers encountered. Single-digit serial numbers are almost unheard of.
Pictured on this month’s cover are two very unique Colt Vest Pocket .25 pistols: serial numbers one and two. They are perhaps the only set of pre-WWII first and second consecutively serial numbered pistols that exist in the same collection. Model 1903 Pocket Hammer .38 ACP serial numbers 19999 and 19998 (which were the first and second guns of this model produced) were at one time in the same collection, but today, their whereabouts are unknown.
As would be expected with the earliest single-digit serial numbered examples of a new model, serial numbers one and two were shipped to two very well connected individuals who had important relationships with Colt’s.
Serial number one was shipped to noted collector J.R. Hegeman. At one time, Hegeman had one of the most outstanding Colt collections in this country. He was truly a pioneer in Colt collecting and presumably had some fantastic connections within the Colt company that allowed him to own many pre-production, prototype and serial number one guns. Many of Hegeman's Colt's are now part of some of the finest collections.
Number one was assembled on October 30, 1908 and on November 28, 1908, it was shipped directly to Hegeman in a single gun shipment. Mr. Hegeman, a vice president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, of New York, was a very active collector between 1885 and 1925, and was interested only in Colt arms.
Serial number two was shipped November 24, 1908 to Frank Schirmer. Schirmer, who at the time of shipment was the Treasurer of Colt’s, served on Colt’s board of directors from 1901 until 1921 and was a principal in the original acquisition of Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company by the Boston and New York financial house of Armstrong & Schirmer in June 1901. Armstrong & Schirmer was a private investment firm affiliated with the George R. Armstrong Company of Boston, Massachusetts. Mr. Schirmer played a pivotal role in the transfer of Mrs. Colt’s stock to the firm in 1901 and was serving as Colt’s Treasurer at the time of shipment. [1]
Also pictured with this consecutive set is the original Arthur Creed Wright Patent No. 566367, granted on August 25, 1896, and an original 1909 Colt catalog.
The August 25, 1896 date is the first patent date that appears on the slide of Colt’s Model 1908 Vest Pocket pistol and is the earliest patent date to appear on any production Colt automatic pistol model. The 1909 Catalog was the earliest catalog to feature the Colt Vest Pocket .25.
[1] Ellsworth S. Grant, The Colt Armory: A History of Colt’s Manufacturing Company, (Lincoln, RI: Mobray Publishing, 1995), p.71, 90, 226. (Second Edition)
Colt Model N Serial Number 1. A one gun shipment to noted Colt collector J.R. Hegeman on November 28, 1908. Mr. Hegeman, a vice president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, of New York, was very active between 1885 and 1925, and was interested in Colt arms only. Hegeman was truly a pioneer in Colt collecting and presumably had some fantastic connections within the Colt company in order for him to own many production prototype and serial number one guns.
Colt Model N Serial Number 2. A one gun shipment to Colt's Treasurer Frank A. Schirmer on 11/24/08. Schirmer also received the first Model M .32 shipped.
Colt Model N serial number 25 - A single gun shipment November 20, 1908 (the first day of commercial shipments) to A.M. Holter Hardware Company, Helena, Montana. Serial number 25 predates the shipping dates for both serial numbers 1 and 2. The gun is an interesting example as the serial number matches the caliber.
Colt Model N Serial Number 400000. One of a two gun shipment to W.H. Hoegee Co, Los Angeles, CA, June 15, 1936.
Colt 1908 Vest Pocket .25 ACP serial number 430467 - factory nickel finish, aftermarket mother of pearl grips. Gun is unusual in that it the serial number is approximately 10,000 numbers higher than the highest recorded production serial number, 420705. This appears to be the result of a factory numbering error at the time of production as the matching slide is numbered 340467, meaning that the first two numbers of the serial number on the frame were unintentionally transposed.
Colt 1908 Vest Pocket .25 ACP serial number 430467 - slide is numbered 340467. According to Colt's Historian, 340467 is recorded as a gun with factory nickel plated finish. The Historian also indicated that there is no notation in the production records regarding the serial number discrepancy between the slide and the frame. In the case of a misnumbered serial number, Colt's would often restrike a number over the incorrect number in order to correct the error.
Pistol was one of 10 shipped to Belknap Hardware & Manufacturing Company, Louisville, Kentucky, December 17, 1923.

Difference between revisions of "Women’s Rights"
From Federalism in America
Morgannoel18 (talk | contribs)
In the nineteenth century, women were considered citizens of the United States but they had no political or legal rights. The development of these rights was greatly affected by the federal system in the United States, which provided multiple access points for women’s organizations to influence policy.
The development of women’s rights has largely occurred in the twentieth century. Prior to the ratification of the nineteenth amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote, women had no meaningful political or legal rights. Even after women received the right to vote, women of color were often still discriminated against. The federal system in the United States facilitated the development of women’s political rights by providing multiple access points for women’s organizations to influence politics.
In order to organize for women’s legal and political rights, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton called the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. As the movement continued, some in the movement supported a state-by-state approach to women’s suffrage rather than the U.S. constitutional amendment approach favored by Susan B. Anthony. In 1890 the factions merged into the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), which made women’s suffrage its major goal.
Women first began organizing politically as part of the antebellum abolition movement. White women in the North were instrumental in organizing towards ending slavery in the South, but were often denied leadership roles and decision making power within the movement. After the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, which granted black men the right to vote, the women who had been involved in the abolition movement felt betrayed because they were denied the right to vote, despite being instrumental in helping free the slaves. White women shifted their attention to gaining the right to vote for themselves, thereby isolating black women and creating a rift that has been apparent in many women’s movements subsequently.
Suffrage came first in western states and some cities and towns. Wyoming was the first state to grant female suffrage in 1889. There was also some change at the local level, and by 1890, 16 states granted women the right to vote in city or school board elections. Women’s suffrage came in Colorado in 1893, and in Utah and Idaho in 1896. These early victories were closely related to local conditions in the West, so they did not translate quickly into change in the East and South. The Colorado case seemed to most closely foreshadow the changes to come, as the campaign there relied on a coalition of reformist third parties that included the People’s and Prohibition Parties. Thousands of women joined these parties and became avid speakers and advocates for women’s rights.
Despite a rocky start, women were effective at organizing for the right to vote both at the local, state and federal level. Suffrage came first in western states and some cities and towns. This was largely a bid to incentivize women to move west and start families, as at the time men vastly outnumbered women in those states. By 1890, 16 states had granted women the right to vote in local city or school board elections. Wyoming was the first state to grant female suffrage for statewide elections in 1889, and was followed by Colorado in 1893 and Utah in 1896. .

Thousands of women joined these parties and became avid speakers and advocates for women’s rights.
The transition to the Progressive era brought a new outlook to politics; women were very involved in reform efforts such as the temperance movement and the push for women and children’s labor protections. Women were already organized at the local grassroots level through the growth of women’s clubs, which helped strengthen the suffrage movement by bringing in new members who saw suffrage as a way to advance the social reform objectives that seemed to many a natural extension of women’s role in the home.

NAWSA President Carrie Chapman Catt pursued a two-pronged “winning plan” beginning in 1912, which focused on winning suffrage at both the state and national levels. The NAWSA approach took advantage of the different points of access in a federal system by which interest groups can influence government policy—what Morton Grodzins called federalism’s “multiple cracks”—to promote women’s suffrage. Several more states in the East and Midwest passed suffrage between 1913 and 1917. Some states, however, were not close to granting women’s suffrage when the Nineteenth Amendment, which prohibited citizens from being prohibited from voting “on account of sex,” was adopted after Tennessee ratified the amendment.

By 1920, the tide had turned in women’s favor and the Nineteenth Amendment, which prohibited barring citizens from voting on account of sex, was adopted.
While women had apparently gained the right to vote, there were still barriers to women’s equality. Jim Crow laws in the South prevented most black women from voting, and women still faced discrimination in employment, education, and equal treatment in American society. During the Civil Rights era, women again organized to expand their rights. The National Organization of Women (NOW) sought to address the unequal treatment women were receiving by attempting to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The ERA would ban any discrimination on the basis of sex. Congress passed the ERA, but it failed to be ratified by the requisite number of states. NOW employed a judicial strategy to compel the federal government to enforce the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s prohibition against sex discrimination. NOW also used a successful judicial strategy that prompted the Supreme Court to apply the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause to gender cases and prevent states from engaging in gender discrimination in the case Reed v. Reed (1971). Protection against discriminatory state action was further expanded in Craig. v. Boren (1976).
Unlike the later unsuccessful Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) movement of the 1970s, the suffrage movement was strengthened by strong state and local grassroots organizations that were absent in the later ERA movement. Despite the ERA’s failure to pass, women’s legal rights were further expanded in the 1960s and 1970s through the National Organization for Women’s (NOW) efforts to compel the federal government to enforce the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s prohibition against sex discrimination. NOW also used a successful judicial strategy that prompted the Supreme Court to apply the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause to gender cases and prevent states from engaging in gender discrimination in the case ''Reed v. Reed'' (1971). Protection against discriminatory state action was further expanded in ''Craig. v. Boren'' (1976).

Egypt's Criminal Court annuls assets freeze of Mubarak era agriculture minister Youssef Wali
Ahram Online , Wednesday 21 Mar 2018
File Photo: Egypt's Mubarak era agriculture minister Youssef Wali (Photo: Al-Ahram)
Mubarak-era agriculture minister jailed for graft
Egypt's Criminal Court annulled on Wednesday a 2011 decision to freeze the assets of the Mubarak-era Minister of Agriculture Youssef Wali and his family, accepting an appeal presented by the former minister.
A general prosecutor decision froze the Wali family's assets in what was dubbed the "agriculture minister's corruption case" in the media at the time.
The former minister has had several corruption cases against him dismissed, the latest being a case involving business tycoon and influential Mubarak regime figure Hussien Salem in 2017.
Salem has reconciled with the government in 2016 following a deal in which he and his family gave up EGP 5.3 billion, reportedly 75 percent of their wealth, to have corruption cases against him dropped.
In February 2017, an Egyptian court dismissed corruption charges against Salem and Wali, in a case in which Wali, in office at the time, was accused of selling Salem 36 acres of land on Bayadeya Island in the governorate of Luxor for an undervalued price.
Wali was sentenced to ten years in jail in the case in 2012.
His conviction was overturned in 2013.
Youssef Wali served as minister of agriculture from 1982 until 2004.
He also served as deputy prime minister and deputy chairman of Hosni Mubarak's now-dissolved National Democratic Party.

Nansei Islands Dugong Declared Critically Endangered The World’s Largest Nature Conservation Network Worries about the Impact of New Base Construction
A critically endangered dugong. Taken March 2003 off the coast of Kayo (Taken from a helicopter)
December 12, 2019 Ryukyu Shimpo
On December 10, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) announced that the dugong that inhabit the waters around the Nansei Islands are critically endangered.
The IUCN is the world’s largest nature conservation organization with more than 200 government agencies among its members.
The announcement marks the first time that the IUCN has evaluated the conservation status of the dugong.
In the IUCN evaluation, the planned relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps Futenma Air Station with the construction of a new base in Oura Bay and Henoko, Nago is identified as a key concern.
According to the report, the damage to or loss of seagrass meadows there is likely to seriously impede the recovery of the dugong population.
This is a different stance from the Japanese government’s, which denies the impact of construction.
Critically endangered is the status used for species with the highest risk of becoming extinct.
The Japanese Ministry of the Environment classified the dugong as “Class 1A Endangered,” which also indicates the highest risk of extinction, in 2007. Now an international agency has confirmed this status.
Aside from the dugong, the IUCN categorizes 12 plant and animal species in Japan as critically endangered, including the Sakhalin taimen and the Okinawa sumire.
In March of this year, a dugong was found dead in the fishing port in Nakijin. This led Hideki Yoshikawa and his team at the Save the Dugong Campaign Center to petition the IUCN to evaluate the conservation status of the Nansei Islands dugong.
According to the IUCN report, there were approximately 30 dugongs living around the Nansei Islands in the 1970s but that number is now estimated at less than 10.
Since the construction of the new base in Henoko began, the two dugongs who had been seen in the waters around the construction site have disappeared. The Ministry of Defense denies any connection to construction.
“Since 2000, the IUCN has asked the Japanese government to protect the dugong through recommendations and resolutions,” Yoshikawa says. “But far from protecting them, we’ve reached a point where they have vanished from the oceans around Okinawa. We can’t even find signs of them feeding in the area.”
He continues, “Dugong used to live in the waters around Henoko. The government should at the very least stop construction for a few years and see if they come back.”

Ethiopia Zooms in On Public Diplomacy With U.S.
Ethiopia will work to capitalize on the large Diaspora to further consolidate ties with the government of the United States and promote its vision of development, peace, democracy and fair utilization of Nile waters through the year of 2013, Ethiopian Ambassador to the U.S. said.
Speaking to The Ethiopian Herald, Ethiopian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the U.S., Fitsum Arega stated that prime attention has been given to employ Ethiopians and foreigners of Ethiopian origin to lobby the U.S. government in that Ethiopia has full right to utilize cross-border rivers in an equitable manner. Ambassador Fitsum highlighted that the majority of the Ethiopian Diaspora living in the U.S. want to see a country with strong and vibrant economy and prosperity; and they have been hugely engaged in informing the various U.S. government institutions that the GERD is being built in a way that ensures the benefits of Nile lower riparian countries.
Noting that the Ethio-US cooperation is growing as they are working hard to enhance partnerships in a range of sectors, he said that consolidated diplomatic efforts are underway to aware the U.S. policy making bodies that the GERD will have positive outcomes to both Egypt and Sudan. “Ethiopia and the U.S. have worked in partnership for many years to combat terrorism and their collaboration has been witnessed success by bringing peace and stability in the turbulent Horn of African region.”
Equal consideration has also been given to mobilize the Diaspora’s economic participation in some priority areas including agriculture, agro-processing, health, tourism, trade and industry thereby contributing share to their home country’s development. The diplomatic missions encourage members of the Diaspora to set up joint ventures with U.S. companies that would significantly contribute to the enormous knowledge and technology transfer to Ethiopia.
“The government understands that an integrated engagement of the Diaspora is important towards the realization of Ethiopia’s prosperity,” the ambassador stated, adding that the Embassy has been exerting effort to widen the commendable investment the Diaspora have registered in the health sector to other areas.
He further pointed out that the diplomatic missions have been hugely engaged in promoting Ethiopia’s conducive business climate and government’s commitment to foreign investment. Accordingly, the Ethio-America Doctors Association has built a state-of-the-art hospital in Addis Ababa whilst members of the Diaspora witness a growing desire to partake in Ethiopia’s medical industry.
U.S.-based medical professionals have also actively involved in government’s COVID-19 control efforts and they have been availing coronavirus preventive medical supplies, personal protective equipment (PPE) and webinar trainings to health professionals. Members of the Diaspora also donated one million USD to ease the economic impacts of the pandemic.
According to Ambassador Fitsum, Ethiopia is committed to strengthen governance and political pluralism in keeping with the principles enshrined in its constitution and it has been partnering with the U.S. government to bring radicalized individuals who took part in the attack of diplomatic missions to justice.
The diplomatic missions will exert maximum efforts to closely working with the Diaspora and encouraging the latter to support the development of the country, in particular Dine for Ethiopia Program financially, professionally and in other ways in the New Year, the ambassador remarked.
Ethiopia and the U.S. established diplomatic relations in 1903.

HadISD - global sub-daily station dataset - version 3.1.0.2019f
HadISD is a global sub-daily dataset based on the ISD dataset from NOAA's NCDC. As well as station selection criteria, a suite of quality control tests has been run on the major climatological variables. The data span 1/1/1931 to end December 2019 and each station is available individually. The current version of HadISD is 3.1.0.2019f. For previous versions please contact the dataset maintainers.
This is a new preliminary version of HadISD, version 3.1.0.2019f. We have adapted the code to allow for monthly updates, and also included new functionality by including the station level pressure and more information about the sub-daily precipitation observations. This version is the first one for 2019, and hence has the final character "p". The station lists have been updated over v3.0.0.2018f, but will remain the same until February 2020 and v3.1.0.202001p. The change in the second version digit during 2019 has arisen because of a bug, found and fixed in November. Further details are given in the blog and also a Hadley Centre Technical Note.
A station listing with IDs and location information is here (also with names).
Individual stations within the ISD were composited when it was appropriate to do so. Then stations were selected on the basis of their length of record and reporting frequency. There are 8139 stations in HadISD.3.1.0.2019f, and these were passed through a suite of automated quality control tests designed to remove bad data while keeping the extremes. None of the ISD flags were used. The QC tests focussed on the temperature, dewpoint temperature and sea-level pressure variables, although some were applied to the wind speed and direction and cloud data. The data files also contain other variables which were pulled through from the raw ISD record, but have had no QC applied. Note: These data have not yet been homogenised and so trend fitting should be undertaken with caution. Results from the homogeneity assessment can be found here.
Follow us on twitter: @metofficeHadOBS for updates, news and announcements.
For more detailed information, follow our HadISD blog. Here we describe bug fixes, routine updates and other exploratory analysis.
Data are available from the download page. Please read the terms and conditions.
When using the dataset in a paper, the following are the correct citations to use. Please also state the version number used

Smith, A., et al. (2011): The Integrated Surface Database: Recent Developments and Partnerships. Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 92, 704-708
Quality Control Code
The python code used for the station selection and quality control can be found on github.
We do not intend to provide in-depth support for this code. We emphasise that the choices we have made in the selection and QC one of a number of other equally reasonable choices, and encourage other interested parties to develop their own QC and filtering procedures to allow the structural uncertainties of this sub-daily dataset to be investigated.
Homogeneity Assessment
We have assessed the homogeneity of four of the observed meteorological variables present in HadISD: temperature, dew point temperature, sea-level pressure and wind speed. This has been performed on monthly averages of the sub-daily data, and is fully described in Dunn et al, 2014, Climate of the Past, 10, 1501-1522. The homogeneity assessment results for v3.1.0.2019f are available for download here.
A number of summary and diagnostic outputs from the quality control code as well as station lists for a number of selection criteria are available here. Also available is the information from the homogeneity assessment of v3.1.0.2019f.
We have adapted our versioning system from CRUTEM4, and so the dataset numbering is of the form HadISD.X.Y.Z.1234i, and is outlined in more detail in the paper linked above. X is for a major change and would normally be accompanied by a peer-reviewed paper. Y is a more minor change, e.g. in one of the QC tests and would be described in a tech-note. Finally Z is a small change, for example addition or changes to data in the past. The last complete year of the dataset is given by 1234, and the final character shows if the dataset is f-final or p-preliminary. Therefore HadISD.1.0.1.2012f is the final version of the dataset containing data up to the end of 2012, and there have been some changes to past data over HadISD.1.0.0.2011f. For the monthly updates, the final characters encode the final year and month of the dataset, e.g. 201901p for the version up to the end of January 2019.
A number of images and movies created from HadISD to show its capabilities are here.

5 Days Best of Lijiang TourEnquiry
Lijiang is already a firm favourite with Chinese tourists and is fast gaining a reputation as a must see destination for foreigners. Don’t miss this 800 year old town with its maze of alleyways and breathtaking mountain views.
Lijiang – Tiger Leaping Gorge – Lijiang
Lijiang Old Town, Mu Palace, Lion Hill, Baisha Old Town, Baisha Murals, Baisha Naxi Embroidery Institute, The First Bend of the Yangtze, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Impressions Lijiang Show, Yuhu Village, Yufeng Monastery, Shuhe Ancient Town, Black Dragon Pool
Day 1 – Arrival in Lijiang
You will be met at Lijiang Airport by a private car and an English speaking tour guide and transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is at your leisure.
Day 2 – Lijiang
Attractions: Lijiang Old Town, Mu Palace, Lion Hill, Baisha Old Town, Baisha Murals, Baisha Naxi Embroidery Institute
The morning will be spent exploring Lijiang Ancient Town which is the cultural center and capital of the Naxi people and is now a Unesco Heritage Site. It was built more than 800 years ago and the original water supply system is still in place. It is a veritable rabbit warren of small alleyways, cobbled pavements and running streams supplemented by innumerable shops, restaurants and guest houses. At the center of the ancient town four main streets radiate in four directions and are connected by many narrow lanes. While walking through the old town, you will immediately get overwhelmed by small bridges, swift streams, cobbled streets and the grey tiled roofs of the local houses. You will also see many local Naxi people wearing traditional costumes and headgear.
Set in the heart of Lijiang’s Old Town the Mu Palace was the home of the Mu clan which led the Naxi people and ruled Lijiang for over 700 years. The buildings and grounds are influenced by an attractive mix of Naxi, Tibetan and Han architecture and design.
Behind the Mu Palace is Lion Hill. Climb up past more than forty ancient cypress trees which are over 800 years old. At the top is the Wangu Tower, the landmark building of Lijiang Ancient Town. This pure wood building is 33 meters tall, overlooking the scenery of Lijiang at its foot, and looking out to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance.
Nearby is the village of Baisha which was the original capital of the Naxi Kingdom before the 12th century. Here you will view the famous Baisha Murals which are the combination of Naxi, Tibetan, Bai and Han artistic designs. Most of the murals vividly describe the religious stories of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. One of its characteristics is combining several religious stories and having them in one painting. Therefore, Baisha murals are quite unique from murals elsewhere. Figures of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism might appear in one mural and 100 portraits at least would be in each of the murals. The portraits in these paintings include not only the religious figures but also ordinary people.
End your visit at the Baisha Naxi Embroidery Institute with its amazing double sided embroideries. The mission of this institute is to protect, develop and promote the Naxi traditional hand-made embroidery.
Day 3 – Tiger Leaping Gorge
Attractions: The First Bend of the Yangtze, The Stone Drum Town (Shigu Town), Tiger Leaping Gorge
After breakfast you will leave Lijiang and follow the Yangtze River north on the Yunnan Tibet road. The scenery here is very spectacular as we travel through huge gorges dotted with small villages. You will stop along the way and view the first bend of the Yangtze and see the historical village of Shigu which is named after a drum shaped marble plaque. Many historic and significant events have taken place in this area. Kublai Khan crossed the Yangtze River here and in April, 1936 the Second Route of the Red Army also marched through the town.
Next you will stop at the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge and view this incredible sight. The Gorge is situated in between two large mountains, Jade Dragon Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, and at one point drops three kilometers to the river below. After seeing Tiger Leaping Gorge you will return to Lijiang.
Attractions: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Impressions Lijiang Show, Yuhu Village, Yufeng Monastery, Shuhe Ancient Town
In the morning you will drive to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain where you may take a cable car for amazing mountain views. Be aware that this takes you to a high altitude so oxygen is available if needed.
On the way back you will stop at the Impressions Lijiang Show which combines 500 actors and 100 horses and showcases them in a 360-degree open-air theatre stage with the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as a backdrop. It is a cultural show which aims to provide an insight into the lives of the region’s Naxi, Yi and Bai ethnic groups and all the songs and dances in the show portray the daily life of the local people. It is the second outdoor production (after Impression Liu Sanjie in Yangshuo, Guilin) of famous Chinese film director Zhang Yimou, who co-directed the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.
In the nearby Yuhu Village you will stop to visit the home of Dr Joseph Rock the famous Austro American botanist who wrote extensively about the region’s botany, culture and its people. He lived here from 1922 to 1949 and was the first foreign scholar to introduce Lijiang culture to the rest of the world including publishing many articles in the National Geographic Magazine. Many of his photos are on display in the Exhibition hall.
Next stop is the Yufeng Monastery which is located in a magnificent natural setting. Inside you can see the harmonious mix of various religious and cultural styles but it is most famous for the “Ten Thousand Flower Camellia” which is more than 500 years old.
Finally you will visit Shuhe Ancient Town which is regarded as a living specimen of the Naxi ancestors’ transition from an agricultural civilization to a commercial culture. Similar to Lijiang Ancient City, Shuhe Ancient Town is surrounded by a murmuring river and interlaced with smooth flagging.

Hurricane Charlie
I used to live in the Port Charlotte area, but I and my family moved away before Charley hit. Yet, many of our friends and family still lived there and in Arcadia; another community devastated by the storm. This is their story.
No one expected Charley to hit Charlotte Harbor; all the experts said the same thing - it's going to hit the Tampa area. We had friends there too, so we invited them to come stay with us in Orlando. They thanked us, but declined - the traffic to Orlando was bumper-to-bumper along the interstate highway.
Meanwhile, in Port Charlotte, our friends Jane and John were deciding to go stay with their daughter Mary and her family. As they had a house right on Charlotte Harbor, they decided to play it safe and move further inland. So, taking their young daughter Hayley, they headed over to Mary's house. She and her husband had two small children of their own, and Mary was eight months pregnant!
Then, the storm hit the area with all its force. The whole family moved into the bathroom - the kids in the tub, most of the adults on the floor, and Mary sitting on the john. Then, the roof was torn away! They sat there, being pelted by rain and hail as the wind whipped about them; and then Mary went into labor. It would have been comical had it not been so tragic.
Jane dialed 911 for help, but there was none available - the system was down. She tried the hospital, and was told the same - no ambulances were operating; they told her to prepare for a home delivery. So, she and John started rooting around the remnants of the house to find the right gear. Then came a lull in the storm, and Jane called the hospital again.
They told her, "If you can get her here, we can help, but there's still no way we can get an ambulance to you."
That was all the encouragement Jane needed. She bundled Mary into her Lexus and started driving. The roads were blocked by fallen power pole, downed trees, and all manner of debris. It wasn't long before all four tires were blown out, and Jane was driving on nothing but her rims. Yet, they made it. The roop of the hospital had been torn away, and the floor below was flooding. Mary was put in a labor/delivery room on the floor below that. Yet, the flooding did affect her floor - the tile ceiling began to cave in on them! So, they moved her to another room, and then another. All total, they had to move her four times.
Meanwhile, back at the house, John and the others worked to patch together some sort of living space. They managed to roof over (in a very general sense) one room of the house, and sort of cover the windows with some screening. After the storm, the mosquitoes were thick as fleas on a dog.
A couple days later, Mary and the baby were sent "home". After all, they were both healthy, there was no medical reason to keep them in the hospital, and their insurance would only pay for the standard stay. Jane objected, pointing out that they had no home to go to, but the hospital had no choice in the matter. So, piling Mary and the baby into her car, Jane took them back to what was left of their home. They also checked on Jane and John's place, and the news wasn't good - it'd been devastated by Charley, virtually nothing was left.
Over the course of the next several days, Jane and John learned how tough life could be, and what was truly important in life. You see, they earned a good living, had a nice home, and their kids had wanted for nothing. Before the storm, they had taken some money out to cover emergencies - should the hurricane cause any trouble. Now, in the aftermath of Charley, they were in a community without power, and most of the homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed. How do you buy groceries without power to run the registers? How do you get clothes when the stores are shattered and no computers are operating?
Where once their kids enjoyed the finer things in life, now they chased after the Red Cross truck that brought them food, water and ice. You can have all the money in the world, but in the land of "No Commerce", you're a pauper. It's then that you learn what truly matters in this life: family, friends, compassion and caring.

Naughty Conversions
I could tell Jack was bursting with something to confide in me, as we sat down at our usual lunch at our usual place. I wasn't wrong.
Jack said: "You know, when you were a kid, you had to hold up your hand when you wanted to go to the washroom? One finger for a pee; two for a poo."
I said "Jack, we seem to spend quite a bit of time discussing bodily functions at our lunches, perhaps we should ...."
"This is altogether different," Jack interrupted, "Well, maybe a little different. Actually, maybe not all that much."
"Let's have it." I said.
"OK," said Jack. "Back to kindergarten. The one- and two-finger signal was a code for two activities people don't talk about in polite society. Well, you know how grown-ups like to use what your mother would have called "bad words"? But you can't do that in polite company, without having to resort to Latin. Well, I've figured out a way so that they can. In English."
"How so?" I said.
"It's all done by code, my friend" said Jack, leaving me hanging with a pregnant pause.
I didn't have all day, so I said: "Please explain."
Jack eagerly took up the challenge: "I've sorted all the 'naughty words' by their initials -- A through Z. Then you count the letters in the word. Take a word like 'asshole' -- not a word you want to use at the governor-general's levee. So instead you say A-7, as in "I think George Bush is an A-7". Pretty soon everyone will know the code, and actual bad words in polite conversation will be a thing of the past."
I said "Jack, that's a terrific idea. It has Nobel Prize written all over it. Civilization as we know it will be saved!"
Jack said: "Don't laugh! The police have a code for all kind of situations -- everyone knows 10 - 4: over and out. So why shouldn't ordinary people have one to help them in their hour of conversational need."
I asked Jack "Any other A-words?"
"No," said Jack, "that's the only one I've come across."
"How about the B?" I asked.
"I have four on my list: "bonk" that's B-4, "bitch" that is B-5, and B-7, Hugh Grant's downfall, and B-11, an activity common in male prisons."
"How about C?" I asked.
"Well," said Jack, "there are at least five C-words. Some are easy, like C-3, although it isn't used very often. And then there are two C-10's and one C-11 referring to three activities your grandmother would not have known about. The real trouble is that there are two very common C-4's referring to male and female naughty bits. How are you going to keep them apart, so to speak. I don't want to have to go to C-3a and C-3b, for example. I'm still working on that one."
I said: "So you've got codes for D and E?"
"Yes," said Jack, "there is a D-5, named after a small town in Newfoundland -- or maybe the other way around -- and a D-8 and an E-8 and an E-11. Trouble is there are two D-4's."
I said "How about F?"
"No problem, lots of those. There is, of course, everyone's favourite F-4, and the related gerund F-7. But there's also an F-6 an F-8, an F-9 and an F-11."
"How about G, H and I?" I asked.
"Two G's, one H, and no I, but I haven't given up hope." said Jack.
"What about J?" I asked.
"I have three J's, but no K and no L yet. As for the M, there is an M-6, an item most people have never heard of and fewer still know what it means; there's an M-9, although it isn't used much anymore either, and an M-12, which is very popular nowadays, and a favourite expletive of Chris Rock and other comedians."
"And how about N and O, P and Q?" I asked.
"There's an N-10, and an obvious O-6. For P there is a P-4 (same as the kindergarten # 1), a P-5 and the associated P-11. For Q there is a Q-4, an anatomical reference, and a Q-5 for a sexual orientation.
"We're almost through the alphabet," I said, "what about R, S and T?"
"I haven't got an R; on the other hand I have an S-4 (same as the # 2 in kindergarten), an S-5 and an S-6. As for T, there is a T-3, an anatomical part, and T-4 for another anatomical part, both female. There isn't much after that ... U, V, W, X, Y and Z are a wasteland. On the other hand it cuts down the strain on your memory. Or maybe I can come up with some new words."
I said "But, Jack, how does your code handle compound phrases, like 'shit-for-brains'?"
"Easy," said Jack, "that's S-4-3-6."
I said "But what about effing and eff-off, both seven letters?"
"No problem," said Jack, "the one is F-7, the other F-4-3. See, it's simple."
I said "Jack, how in heaven's name do you come up with these things?"
Jack said: "Someone has to keep his mind on the larger issues of the day. That's my job."
I said: "Jack, with you at the controls, the world is in good hands."
Jack said: "F-4-3, buddy. Now let's go get something to eat."

Margery Allingham’s Short Stories
Most accomplished crime novelists demonstrate equal facility with the short story – think, nowadays, of Rendell, Hill, Lovesey, Rankin and Barnard – and Margery Allingham was no exception. Yet her short stories have promped only limited discussion and they earn few mentions in the biographies by Julia Thorogood (Margery Allingham) and Richard Martin ‘Ink in her Blood’. Even the number of short stories that she wrote seems tantalisingly imprecise: Martin simply says that there were ‘over sixty’.
Nonetheless, the continuing appeal of those stories is evidenced by the fact that, a good many years after her death, two volumes of little known work have been published. ‘The Return of Mr Campion’, a book of previously uncollected items introduced and edited by Allingham’s friend J.E. Morpurgo, was published in 1989. Subsequently, The Darings of the Red Rose (summarised rather dismissively by Thorogood as ‘feminine detective adventures’) has been revived by those admirable American publishers Crippen and Landru.
Lately I have had an ideal opportunity (and excuse, if it were needed) to remind myself of Allingham’s work in the short form. Guy Fawkes Night in 2003 saw the Golden Jubilee of the foundation of the Crime Writers’ Association by John Creasey, aided and abetted by a few colleagues, including Michael Gilbert and Julian Symons. To celebrate this notable anniversary, the CWA decided to publish a special collection of short stories, old and new, highlighting the quality and diversity of members’ work in the genre over the past half-century. As editor of the book, Mysterious Pleasures, I decided that the contents should focus mainly on stories by winners of the CWA Diamond Dagger for a lifetime’s outstanding achievement in the genre, but that there should also be a few stories from current leading practitioners and from stellar names who were around during the CWA’s first few years.
It seemed natural to include a story by Allingham. She is seldom discussed in the context of either the Detection Club (Thorogood records that ‘she attended one or two…functions in the 1930s and scuttled home to Essex feeling inadequate) or the CWA. According to Thorogood, she became friendly with a handful of fellow detective novelists, including in particular two highly inventive practitioners, John Dickson Carr and Philip Macdonald, but socialising between crime writers was much less extensive in her day than it has become in recent years.
She was a member of the CWA for a few years only, but she contributed to a couple of its early anthologies. ‘Tall Story’ appeared in Some Like Them Dead, edited by Roy Vickers (1960) and ‘They Never Get Caught’ in Crime Writers’ Choice, again edited by Vickers (1964). At that time, and indeed until recent years, the contents of CWA anthologies largely comprised stories written and published long before (‘They Never Get Caught’, for instance, dates back to the 30s). Allingham was no doubt prevailed upon to lend support to the infant venture by allowing her name to be associated with it.
Although I was strongly tempted by ‘They Never Get Caught’, I decided to stick to my plan of including in Mysterious Pleasures stories which have not previously appeared in CWA collections. Casting my net more widely enabled me to renew acquaintance with several stories which have been much anthologised in the past. Enjoyable examples include ‘Evidence in Camera’, ‘The Border-Line Case’, ‘It Didn’t Work Out’ and ‘The Lieabout’. There is also some worthwhile material in ‘The Return of Mr Campion’ – unexpectedly, since such volumes tend all too often to sweep up odds and ends that have been neglected previously for very good reason. The stories in Morpurgo’s collection are admittedly a mixed bunch, but I liked especially a couple of the Campion tales. ‘The Case is Altered’ is a good take on the crime-at-Christmas sub-genre and ‘The Curious Affair of Nut-Row’ an agreeable piece of story-telling.
It is often forgotten that Allingham followed in the footsteps of Conan Doyle in that many of her early short stories were first published in Strand Magazine. Morpurgo notes that she was gratified that the magazine accepted six stories from her in 1936: ‘her gratification that this signalled her arrival as a serious writer – “me suddenly getting paid for quality instead of quantity” – was compounded by her gratitude to the current editor, Reeves Shaw – “he taught me about as much as my father had done.”’ But the story which I chose first came out in the magazine that supplanted Strand Magazine as the premier source of short detective fiction. Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, still going strong today, published several of her stories over the years. ‘One Morning They’ll Hang Him’ appeared in the August 1950 issue and it is one of the very best of the Campion tales. It opens with Chief Inspector Kenny calling on Albert and saying: ‘If there’s one thing that makes me savage it’s futility.’ He proceeds to explain his sour mood: one of those ordinary, rather depressing little stories which most murder cases are. There’s practically no mystery, no chase…nothing but a wretched little tragedy.’ But from this downbeat start, the story develops splendidly.
The only reason why I hesitated over picking ‘One Morning They’ll Hang Him’ was that it has found its way into numerous anthologies in the past. But in the end I could not – did not want to – resist it. I hope that this most recent incarnation of an excellent story will remind many readers (and perhaps even a few diehard fans who have hitherto focused almost exclusively on the novels) of Allingham’s talent for the short form, as well as engaging those who may be unfamiliar with her work. If new readers are tempted to explore the Allingham canon further, undoubtedly they have a treat in store.
This essay first appeared in Margery Allingham: 100 Years of a Great Mystery Writer (2004,) edited for the Margery Allingham Society by Marianne Van Hoeven

Nancy Spain – and Norman
Nancy Spain (1917-1964) was a celebrity broadcaster and journalist who was killed, along with magazine editor Joan Werner Laurie in a plane crash when on her way to commentate on the Grand National race at Aintree, Liverpool. Her varied CV included authorship of ten light-hearted crime novels.
The last of her mysteries, The Kat Strikes, was published in 1955. Her publishers described it as “a completely English, extremely exciting story, in the true English tradition of John Buchan and Edgar Wallace” (although many readers may have been puzzled, given that Buchan was a very different kind of thriller writer from Wallace.)
This copy is intriguing because of its inscription: “For my very darling Norman, the only boy I ever really loved, from his own Nancy.” Joan Werner Laurie was, in fact, Nancy’s partner, although she had also had a child by artist and writer PhilipYoungman Carter. But who was Norman? He seems not to be identified in either Nancy’s autobiography or her biography. A mystery…

importance of drama in literature
Drama is literature intended for performance. The Importance of Shakespeare. Drama also approved its effectiveness on developing creative thinking. Of various forms of drama, plays are the most popular. Children build relationships and start friendships through play. Many researches such as: the study of Ortiz-Seda (1984), Dupre (2006) and Taskin (2013) have revealed the effect of drama on creativity. It comes from the Greek word katharos which means pure.Katharos evolved into kathairein which meant cleanse. When it comes to the actions, the actors have to restrict their movements while performing on stage and this could also depend on the lighting, sound effects, and the dialogue to show the events and actions that are not visually presented. According to proponents of the concept, play enables children to make sense of their world. Importance Of Drama In Literature The Relationship Between Literature And Literature.

Drama teaches communication and similar to other forms of art, drama is a way for students to understand each other in several aspects. -Aristotle- -Aristotle (384-322 BC) was a Greek philosopher whose writings still influence us today. Written by academic experts with 10 years of experience. Use our samples but remember about PLAGIARISM! Drama teaches a lot of life skills that can be applied anywhere. The success of the portrayal relies on the cooperation formed among producers, actors and writers in recognizing the convention and limitations present on stage. Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between drama involvement and academic achievement. Some interesting things happen when children assign and accept roles in dramatic play they are motivated to stick to them, thinking of them as rules to follow.

8 ROCK STARS: NOVA SCOTIA The Joggins Fossil Cliff s on Chignecto Bay are more than just another pretty rock face. After all, they provide an unparalleled look at what life was like 300 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period. Some 200 species of fossilized plants and animals have been discovered here, among them Hylonomus lyelli, the earliest known reptile and the fi rst known vertebrate able to live entirely on land. Cited by Charles Darwin in The Origin of Species, this 15-km-long (9.3-mi.), tide-washed UNESCO World Heritage site has been dubbed the "Coal Age Galápagos" ( www.jogginsfossilcliff s.net). 9 BRIDGING THE GAP: PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND Although P.E.I. joined Confederation in 1873, the province wasn't physically connected to the rest of Canada until the billion-dollar Confederation Bridge opened between Borden-Carleton and Cape Jourimain, New Brunswick, 124 years later. Comprised of almost 13 km (8 mi.) of curvaceous concrete, the so-called "fi xed link" qualifi es as the longest bridge in the world spanning ice-covered water.

Petersburg Prosecutors Say Customs Art Tax Is Illegal
By Galina Stolyarova
Aug. 25 2000 00:00
ST. PETERSBURG — The St. Petersburg aviation and transport prosecutor’s office has stated that a 100 percent tax imposed by customs on the export of cultural valuables is illegal.
The decision, made in a letter sent to Pulkovo airport’s customs last week, supports complaints over the tax first raised by officials from the Culture Ministry.
Valery Sokolov, acting aviation and transport prosecutor, said customs officials have one month to respond to the letter. If the tax is abolished, the case could set a precedent for the rest of the country, allowing people to sue the customs service if they are taxed for exporting cultural objects, according to a statement from the Culture Ministry’s board for the preservation of cultural objects in St. Petersburg.
The board must evaluate the worth of cultural valuables before they are taken out of the country and then issue a certificate of permission. Last month, the board stopped placing a price tag on cultural objects and only stamped them as able to be exported.
It said that the customs tax violated Russian law and effectively meant that people were paying twice for what they bought. In response, customs officials refused to let anyone take anything considered culturally valuable out of Russia, claiming that they had no way of knowing the worth of what they were taxing.
The issue stands right in the middle of a legislative gray area. A 1993 law stipulates that those exporting cultural valuables should pay an export tax, but fails to say what rate is to be levied. The customs service subsequently took matters into its own hands and set the tax at 100 percent, but the move was never backed up by the passing of a law.
Sokolov said Monday in a telephone interview that the culture officials were right in their observations. Any instructions from ministries acting independently without legal backing could not serve as a base to levy a tax, he said.
Furthermore, the definition of "cultural valuable" is unclear: Between mass-produced souvenir dolls, which may be waved through at customs without a second glance, and a cultural object over 100 years old, which cannot leave Russia at all, the interpretation of what is "valuable" is open to debate.
Sergei Pankov, a spokesman for Northwestern Customs, said the tax has been suspended.
Pankov said that the State Customs Committee as examining the document.
"An official reaction will follow in about a week," he said.
Sokolov said that if the tax is finally declared illegal, technically those who have paid it in the past will be able to apply to the courts for compensation. To be on the safe side, however, those in doubt as to the value of what they have purchased in Russia should go to the Culture Ministry’s board.
Without a certificate of permission to export, customs are still able to confiscate a cultural valuable, according to Alexander Savin, acting head of the board.

How History Obscured the Legacy of Margaret Hamilton
Posted on June 17, 2016 By Vanessa Pius
By Vanessa Pius, President’s Office Intern
The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. highlights landmarks in American air travel, military aeronautics, space exploration and some of the pioneers who made those milestones possible. Among the planes, diagrams, and tangibles in this family-friendly museum, there are two walls dedicated to women at the museum: one about the (sexist and racist) requirements for flight attendants in the 1950’s, complete with a full length mirror to see if visitors measure up, next to part of a plane from the same era that visitors can walk through to check out the cockpit. Another wall stands inside the hall for early aviation, decorated with pink paint, photos, and short descriptions of female aviators of the early 20th century. Woefully neglected are the female engineers and scientists whose invaluable contributions made so much of what visitors can see in the museum possible. One such woman was Margaret Hamilton, who worked on every manned Apollo mission, and several unmanned ones.
Before NASA selected their first class of female astronauts in 1979, Hamilton was working hard at MIT to make the Apollo missions possible. In 1960 when she was just 24 years old, Hamilton got a job as a programmer at MIT to support her husband while he was attending Harvard Law School. Her plan was to pursue a graduate degree in mathematics once her husband had earned his law degree (she had a bachelor’s in math and philosophy from Earlham College) but before long Hamilton was caught up in the lab at MIT and working on the Apollo space program.
Not long ago, this photo of Hamilton standing next to stacks of critical coding surfaced on social media.
The black and white photo is unlike most photos of women from the era, and it’s clear that Hamilton is taking ownership of her work that made the Apollo 8 mission possible. Hamilton though, was unusual in more ways than one; not only was she a pioneer for science and women in STEM at a time when women were still encouraged to stay at home or take on more domestically appropriate occupations, but also Hamilton was a working mother. In fact, she took her young daughter, Lauren, with her to the labs at MIT in the evenings and on the weekends. Lauren was actually the inspiration for a crucial piece of coding in one of the manned Apollo missions:
One day, Lauren was playing with the MIT command module simulators display-and-keyboard unit, nicknamed the DSKY (dis-key). As she toyed with the keyboard, an error message popped up. Lauren had crashed the simulator by somehow launching a prelaunch program called P01 while the simulator was in midflight. There was no reason an astronaut would ever do this, but nonetheless, Hamilton wanted to add code to prevent the crash. That idea was overruled by NASA. “We had been told many times that astronauts would not make any mistakes,” she says. “They were trained to be perfect.” So instead, Hamilton created a program note—an add-on to the program’s documentation that would be available to NASA engineers and the astronauts: “Do not select P01 during flight,” it said. Hamilton wanted to add error-checking code to the Apollo system that would prevent this from messing up the systems. But that seemed excessive to her higher-ups. “Everyone said, ‘That would never happen,’” Hamilton remembers.
(Robert McMillan)
Hamilton programmed error-checking codes that allowed the Apollo 8 flight to successfully return to Earth, even when an astronaut aboard inadvertently deleted all the navigation data he had been collecting.
Hamilton would go on to found her own company in 1986, Hamilton Technologies. In an interview with medium.com, Hamilton said she founded the company “to accelerate the evolution of our technology and to introduce it to more users,” and continues to work to evolve technology for companies like Boeing, Hewlett Packard, Honewell, IBM, Motorola, and the US Navy.
While STEM fields remain diversity-challenged, especially in regard to gender, let Hamilton be an inspiration for more young women to enter STEM fields – until the Air and Space Museum has no choice but to include them.

Judith Weis says:
Thank you for this! As a feminist woman in science I am alwys interested in pioneers and hadn’t heard of her at all before.
Paula Stone says:
Surely they can find room for her in the museum displays!
Arlene R Ustin says:
YES! We need to honor Lauren Hamilton for sure. Each feminist’s story evolves us, the country, the world. And wow, do we do need to evolve humanity…
Her story reminds me of the artist Judy Chicago who created the The Dinner Party in 1979, considered the first epic feminist artwork. What it took for Chicago to fund, research, design, and find a permanent home for her installation that was record breaking for viewers around the world is epic.
Linda Varonich says:
Oh Arlene, I was transformed by The Dinner Party, viewed in Toledo Ohio museum. Still recall how the lighting and black surroundings truly carried it off.
And of course, this egregious example of a cultural gender bias vis a vis a Smithsonian Museum has to be confronted. Ignorance (of the Margaret and Lauren Hamiltons) is not bliss, it’s sexism plain and simple. Good story, well constructed
Sioux Messinger says:
Lovely article. Thank you for helping me learn more about Margaret Hamilton, a true woman pioneer.

Prof Shen Zuowei
Vice Provost (Graduate Education)
pvozuows@nus.edu.sg
Professor Shen Zuowei is Vice Provost (Graduate Education) at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
Prof Shen was Deputy Head of the NUS Department of Mathematics from 2006 to 2012, Head from 2012 to 2014, and Dean of the Faculty of Science from 2014 to 2020.
Prof Shen received his PhD in 1991 from the University of Alberta, Canada and completed his postdoctoral training at University of Wisconsin-Madison. He joined NUS in 1993, was promoted to full professor in 2002, and Distinguished Professor in 2009. Since 2013, Prof Shen has been Tan Chin Tuan Centennial Professor.
A renowned mathematician, Professor Shen is well-known for his fundamental contributions in mathematical foundations of data science, especially in the areas of approximation and wavelet theory, image processing and compressed sensing, computer vision and machine learning. Together with his collaborators, he has several signature theorems and algorithms that include developing a duality analysis that leads to three mathematical principles: the duality principle, the unitary extension principle and the oblique extension principle in approximation and wavelet theory; sparsity based balanced model and algorithms by using redundant systems in image processing; and the singular value thresholding algorithm in compressed sensing. His recent research interests focus on approximation theory of deep neural networks.
Prof Shen is a prominent researcher in his various fields of research. He sits on several editorial boards of top journals and has been invited to speak at many international conferences and congresses, including the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in 2010 and the International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) in 2015. Both ICM and ICIAM, which are held every four years, are the most reputable congresses in mathematics and applied mathematics, and being an invited speaker at these events is testament to his expertise and leadership in these fields.
Prof Shen has received numerous awards and honours, including the NUS Outstanding University Researcher Award (2008 and 1997), Wavelet Pioneer Award from the Society of Photographic Instrumentation Engineers, US (2012), and the National Science Award of Singapore (1998). He has been elected as Fellow of the World Academy of Sciences (2020), Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, US (2019), Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, US (2017), and inaugural Fellow of the Singapore National Academy of Science (2011).
