It seems that my previous post resonated deeply with everyone – I received a lot of offline comments and my post inspired two of my colleagues (Boris and Andras) to do their own blog posts. This doesn't shock me because Thanksgiving week is one of the busiest travel periods in the States so everyone is thinking about flying. So I thought we should stay with the subject for one more day and look at it … Read More

While I am not justifying the extent of Australia's problem with alcohol during this festivity...I also know many other nations have the same or similar problem around certain days or events.
Next weekend here in America will be our Super Bowl game. I will not be watching it nor buying the products as well as not digesting the advertising glorified on the Tube.
I also noted some years back, when going out on the road and to the stores, that many people flooded the stores before kick off time and after kick of time the roads and stores were noticeably empty. I suddenly realized I was witnessing a sociological and economic trend or event.
I was however perfectly content to go into the stores after kick off time. I did not watch the game with the bulk of Americans not will I we watching it this coming weekend.
I also note the rowdiness and general two legged wildlife which have been attending many of the Football Games around the world for some years now. Alcohol consumption seems to be a part of this phenomenon as well. I have no desire to watch this kind of wildlife in it's natural habitat as well...American or any other. Another sociological /economic phenomenon.
If this is greatness or fun...you can keep it.
Nonetheless...Australia has no monopoly on such two legged wildlife. It is everywhere trying to pass for fun and intelligence in trends.

-I- * r- ', ews VOI^ XV, NO. 23 BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PA., WEDNESDAY,.MAY 15, 1929 PRICE. 10 CENTS Etiquette Traced in English Works Similarity of Precepts for Wom- an's Conduct Shown by Miss*Carey. EMPHASIZE CHASTITY Glee Club Elects At the im-etiiA>!" the Glee Club which was heldTPn Monday, May 11, Elinor Latane, '30, was elected president; Laura Richardson, '30, vice-president; Gertrude Bancroft, '30, Business Manager; and Char- lotte Tyler, '32, secretary. "I read the other day," said Miss Carey in chapel on Wednesday, '.'an article in Harper's for April, called What Shall We Tell the Children? It is the re- "flective lament of a woman of about thirty-five, who is in despair as to how she shall instruct her childreu in regard to anything�religion, morals, ethics, be- haviour in general. It occurred to me as I "read it that this theme�what moral instruction shall be given to the young� not only is of- perennial interest but has always been so; and I decided that it would be fuh' to trace the theme through English literature, to give a background and sense of proportion to a future dis- cussion in which I hope to' give current ideas on the subject. "As one looks through moral and didac- tic Englsh writings, the first thing of interest is the recurrence of certain ideas about young men and young women. Always clothes, table manners, and for women the necessity of quietness, humil- ity, andBbbove all,. chastity, come again and again. In twttve hundred, there appeared a book entitled Hali M^idenhad which is not very interesting to us, >6ince it extols maidenhood above the marriage state. If a maid marries she loses her freedom and high dignity and is turned into a drudge. It describes all the draw- backs of married life and the joys of a single one. Knight Makes Book for Children "During the three centuries following twelve hundred, apparently many articles and stories *on women* were written� mostly by men. In the Book of the Knight of La Tour-Landri, a collection of tales which this man made for his motherless daughter, we find^the good Knight walking in the -garden, heavy<| with thought, listening to the birds and musing in this wise: 'And as Y was in the saide gardein, Y sawe come towardes me my iii doughters, of the whiche I was joyfull, and had grete desire that thei Shtlld tufne to good and worshipe above all erthli thinges, for thei were yonge, and had but tendir witte; and so atte the begynnyng a man aught to lerne his doughters with good ensaumples.' As he walks, he thinks of all the terrible things that -might- happtu -to his daughters, Of how his fellows have deceived with fair .words the gentlewomen he knows. 'And for these causes aforesaid, Y thought to make this litelle boke to my yong dough- ters, wherupon thei might rede and studie, to that entent that thei might lerne and see bothe good and evelle of the tyme passed, and for to kepe them in good clennesse and from all evelle in tyme comyng.' "So he makes one book for his sons and another for his daughters, in which there follows a succession of tales, lurid and very spicy, recounting the misadven- tures of unsuspecting and innocent and wicked women. Each ends with ,a moral turn in which the good girl is rewarded by a splendid marriage witb^ someone like a King of Greece or Denmark, and the wicked girl is punished in some gentle way such as being drowned in the river, or falling into a well, or breaking her nose. Always the woman with the broken nose loses her husband's love. Dr. Taylor Speaks on the Philosophy of Sperigler "The virtues extolled in the stories are those well-known to the Middle Ages: piety, chastity, humility, and obedience. The ideal girl evidently does not chatter, nor eat too much, nor sing and play in loose company. It is very important to keep fast days and to say prayers. "There are many stories of three daugh- ters�usually the eldest is beautiful but light of maurier, the second is wise but talks too much, and the third, who is quiet and humble, marries the King of Denmark Mere it is worthy of notice that the light familiar manner always loses the husband. "Then the Knight goes on to a discus- sion of dress. He prays his daughters not to "be the first to takje "new shapes CONTINUED ON THE FOURTH PACK Dr. Lily Ross Taylor spoke on Spengler, the German philosopher, in chapel on Monday morning, May 13. She quoted Edward Cheyney's ad- dress to the United States Historical Society in January, 1923, in which he said that Spengler desired to establish an historical law of the future: what we need is not a clue to the present, but to the future. Spengler's own book begins with these words: "In this work, for the first time, the attempt is ventured upon to anticipate in ad- vance the course of history." Miss Taylor pointed out that although one may not entirely agree with Spengler, he is Certainly very significant, and very hard to get away from after reading his works. Spengler is a "private scholar" in Munich, and has refused many posi- tions in order to continue his writings and his work. His first volume ap- peared in 1917, but the theory was fully worked out before 1914, and is definitely not post-war pessimism. The second volume was 'published in 1922, and much literature has appeared on Spengler ever since, but Miss Taylor expressed the belief that many of the critjes who are unfavorable have not read Spengler thoroughly, and at any rate do not understand him. Spengler shows remarkable judgment and a mind of great range and sweep and ob- jectivity. He is detached from every- thing that is going on, and manifests no national feeling or passion or ex- citement. Spengler's object is to establish a philosophy of world history that will replace artificial developments of an- cient, mediaeval and modern by a study of the great cultures. A great culture is the result of the birth of a_soul which-has. come to life in the shapeless mass of humanity and which has gone through the life of a man �childhood, youth, maturity and old age, which is the end of growth and the period of decay. There are seven such cultures: Egypto-Babylonian, In- dian, Chinese, Classical, Mogian, Maya and Faustian. The Russian is now in the moment of birth. These cultures differ in different characteristics; our own, the Faustian, is striving towards infinity; the aim of the classical was concentration in time, place and char- acter. The general developments have been, on the whole, roughly identical. The Russian culture is being changed by external influences; Tolstoi shows western influence, but if Dostoyevsky had lived to write his story of Christ it would have beeen the story of a new evangelist. Our own culture is about where that of the ancient world was in the year 100 B. C. We are at the end of the really creative period in art, music and iiterature. We are now working for- ward to" development in scholarship and formalization. Spengler's first volume is entitled The General Principles of Form and Reality, and the second, World Histori- cal Perspectives. Miss Taylor said that it was the second volume that had the most contact with her own experience, because the illustrations and parallels from Roman history are so rich. Spengler insists on the Graeco-Roman world as a unity, and he considers Rome the natural development of the tendencies of the time. He holds that Rome is not.So-primitive as it is usu- ally made out to ~b~e, and uses 'the CONTINUED ON THE SECOND PAGE Varsity Loses to * Vassar at Tennis The Bryn Mawr varsity tennis team was defeated by Vassar by the score of four to one. � The matches were held at Vassal on Saturday, May 11, and though the score and the defeat were the same as last year, Bryn Mawr's performance was on the whole better. The first was a closely contested match between Swan and Hutchins, in which Miss Hutchins finally proved her- self the superior player by the score, 7-5,-3-6, 6-4. Stokes was subsequently defeated by Du Bois, 6-3, 8-4, .who will be remembered for the excellent form she displayed here last year. ' Cambell's game, possibly because of the frequency of her chop strokes, was more than Bar- bara Humphreys could cope with, and she lost, 6-0, 6-1. We were more suc- cessful in the next match, (or Harden- bergh played a beautiful, if somewhat uphill, game to defeat McClane, 5-7, 6-4, Poe and Humphreys started out yaliantjp in the doubles, but the team- work of DuBois and Hutchins, which was rather faulty at the beginning, im- proved visibly, and Vassar eventually won the last mateh, 12-10, 6-3. Despite the smallness 6f the number inv6lved, the annual tennis encounter wjth Vassar is probably our most pleasant sporting connection, and we congratulate them most heartily on the success which they so obviously deserved. President of Undergrad Urges Student Initiative (Contributed by V.'Fain. J29.) It is customary on this occasion to review the events of the past year, but as I happen to be more interested in the future than the past, and as you know what has happened here as well as I do, I shall refer to those events only in'so far as they point to the future. The early collegiatism gave way about a college generation ago to a pose of blase indifference to the affairs o� the college as a whole. But that somewhat brutal individualism has already borne fruit, I think, in "the shape of a growing interest in education as such- If we have ceased to go picnicking four hundred strong, to be ready to die on the hockey field -for the glory of Bryn Mawr, and to shout in Greek that it is the best, col- lege that ever was, we have at least paused to ask ourselves, perhaps origi- nally from purely selfisji motives, whether the four years we spend here are as worth while intellectually as they might be. This questioning, which began as isolated cries of merely destructive complaint, shows signs of becoming a serious and united effort to take an ac- tive part in our own education. The Curriculum Committee has been revived, and the Faculty have shown great will- ingness to allow it to co-operate with them in tljeir experiment in honors work; the Committee hopes later to turn its energies to the problem of required subjects and the curriculum in general. There is a mistaken notion that a pro- fessor regards docility as the first of the cardinal virtues. The l>est professors do not demand it, and the best students do not display it. The ideal student has an active, lucid, challenging mind, as well as diligence and conscientiousness. I feel that there has been lately a con- i-ONTINUED ON THE FOURTH PAGE Apologies The N'ews wishes to apologize for an error made in last week's issue, under the list of scholarships awarded purely for distinction in academic work.

Hirschberg Hampton Quartet in Perfect Harmony - The musical genius of the negro race was again demonstrated by the Hamp- ton Quartet in the auditorium of Good- hart Hall on Monday, May 13. Rarely are. the negro spirituals sung in the simple, plaintive manner which car- ries to the hearers the picture of a suffering race, childlike in its sim- plicity, yet thrilling with a deep, mys- tical experience. The songs them- selves, whether swinging to strong rhythm, borne along by a naive hu- mor or lost in the maze of strange harmopies, have an Undertone of sad- ness. There is a minor, penetrating note which'can only be brought out by utter participation in their mood. Just such abandon, coupled with the unique quality of voice required, char- acterizes the Hampton Quartet. The fullness of trreir, chords with the rich, sustained bass is strangely comparable to organ music, and the plaintive, almost strained, individual notes re- create the thrilling' sadness of the songs. In_ more familiar spirituals, such as Deep^ River and Swing Low, Siveet Chariot, the unhampered manner is lost in an effort to develop to the fullest the possibilities of rhythm and harmony. The total impression of the quartet, however, is one of litter spon- taneity. * New Opportunity For Students to Publish Sarah Stanley Gordon, winner of the Maria I.. Eastman Brooke Hall not detract from their chances of being Mr. Willis H. Kinnear, of Indian- apolis, has undertaken a publication which, as far as we know, is quite unique in the magazine world. The new monthly, to be called Manuscripts, wijl be issued for the first time during the third week in next September. Its ob- ject is to represent the student writing of Americaff institutions of learning. The publisher writes: "This proposi- tion is a definite challenge to the pro- fessor and his student. The magazine is an outlet for the students' work�and the result of the contact he has had with the professor. What has the professor done in the moulding of the creative tendencies of his students? Is the stu- dents' work really creative? Is-the pro- fessor's work of any value? Is it stimu- lating the student to original writing? If it is. this is an opportunity for show- ing what is actually being done in the colleges today. "Manuscripts will be the evidence of the creative writing of our universities. It give> the student author the opportu- nity to publish and become known; we offer the student his best and possibly his only chance. It is a way for the student to show what he is worth." The fact that manuscripts have already been printed in campus publications will accepted by this new magazine. Also, Mr. Kinnear will pay for anything that is printed in Manuscripts, on the basis, of its merit and its length. Those who are interested should see the poster on the English "^bulletin board, in Taylor Han. ' Ul �----- Even Uninitiated Enjoy Fencing Tournament On Thursday evening. May 9, the final matches of the Fencing tournament were held in the gymnasium before a small, but extremely interested audience. The bouts between the Setiior and Junior fencers who carried off the honors in the preliminaries were not, however, the most exciting events of the evening. The exhibition bouts with the sabre, the foils and the epee held those who were pres- ent spellbound, nor was any knowledge of t|ie rules of the art necessary to ap- preciate the thrilling display of speed, keen judgment and grace, made by Mr. Boeckmans and hts opponents, Dr. Her- ben, Mr. Robbins and Mr. Groff. Mr. Boeckmans and Mr. Robbins opened the tournament by a demonstra- tion of the Grand Salute, a complicated series of gestures with the foils, which, slow and beautiful as it is, showed the dexterity and precision of the fencers. After Dr. Herben had explained to the uninitiated the uses of the three fencing weapons, Mr. Boeckmans and A. Park- hurst gave an exhibition lesson, a smooth and perfectly co-ordinated example of the lessons as-they should be in the fencing classes. This was followed by a bout With the foils between Mr. Boeckmans and Mr. Robbins. The first college bout, between the Junior fencers, A. Davison and M. Humphrey, ended in 'a victory for. Humphrey. It was interesting to notice in this and the other college matches the uncertain and cautious beginnings of the art which Mr. Boeckmans has mastered so thoroughly. The next event was an exhibition bout with the sabre between Mr. Boeckmans and Mr. Gtoff. Ttie'r sabre, a more dangerous weapon, with'its sharp edge, than the foil; is more excit- ing to see in motion because it is used for cutting as well as for*thrusting. The exponents of this branch of fencing acted so quickly that their movements could scarcely be followed though the audience watched intently. A Senior match followed between C. Cone and H. Seligman. Their play was conserva- tive, in very good form, and resulted in the victory of Seligman, The epee exhi- bition bout was of particular interest because Mr. Boeckmans' opponent was Dr. Herben, who showed a great deal of skill in handling the different weapons. The following Senior bout between H. Seligman and A. Parkhurst, who Jenced in excellent form, resulted in vic- tory for the latter. Two Junior bouts were next on the program. M. Hum- phrey defeated R. Hatfield-in a rather slow contest, and M. Brice defeated" A.' Davison. The final bout was an exhibition be- tween A. Parkhurst and Miss Virginia McCall. The quick, graceful match in beautiful form was another success for A. Parkhurst. At the end of the tourna- ment the medals were awarded. In the Senior group, A. Parkhurst received first place, H. Seligmanr second, and A. Lord, third. In the Junior group, first place was awarded to M. Humphrey, second to R. Hatfield, third to M. Brice. Last Musical Service .a Complete Success The,last musical service of the Bryn Mawr League was held on Sunday eve- ning, May 12, in the Music Room of Goodhart Hall. We are sure that every- one will agree as to the success of these sen-ices throughout the year, and .urge their continuance next winter. The pro- gram Sunday evening was as follows: Professional Hymn: "Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise"�Tune "Ascension" Organ: "Air" (from Orchestral Suite in D), "Bouree" in D from the 4th Orchestral Suite Bach Prayers Hymn: "The Eternal Gates Lift Up Their Heads "�Tune St Magnus ___ Choir: Prologue from "The Apostles," Elgar Unfold Ye Portals (from the "Re- demption" ) Gounod Recessional Hymn: "Our Lord Is Risen from the Dead"�Tune "Duke Street" /* Dresden Amen.

New research on ACTICOA™ in the spotlight at HIE 2008: Barry Callebaut's ACTICOA™ chocolate helps to maintain healthy blood pressure
04, 2008
- Barry Callebaut's ACTICOA™ cocoa and chocolate, rich in cocoa flavanols, is good for your wellbeing without compromising on taste
- Enjoying a daily serving of 17g of ACTICOA™ dark chocolate for 2 weeks helps to maintain a healthy blood pressure
- Several products containing ACTICOA™ cocoa powder or chocolate are already available
Wieze/Belgium - 4 November 2008 – Barry Callebaut, the world's leading producer of high quality cocoa and chocolate products, will present the results of new research into ACTICOA™ chocolate at Health Ingredients Europe 2008. The study, conducted by the Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, demonstrates that ACTICOA™ dark chocolate contributes to maintaining a healthy blood pressure. This confirms earlier studies done.
Daily consumption of 17g ACTICOA™ dark chocolate (which contains 500mg of cocoa flavanols) for 2 weeks helps maintain healthy blood pressure.
Two test groups1 consumed a small portion of dark ACTICOA™ chocolate every day for two weeks. For the first group, the portion of ACTICOA™ chocolate contained 500 mg cocoa flavanols, for the second, 1000 mg cocoa flavanols. After two weeks, both groups, independent of the dose, displayed significantly reduced blood pressure.
A reduction of 7 points was observed in systolic and 5 points in diastolic blood pressure: expressed as a reduction of 7/5mm of mercury. This reduction has a proven, beneficial effect on our health as a reduction in blood pressure of 7/5 mmHg reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This is underwritten by cardiologists the world over2.
ACTICOA™ cocoa and chocolate are rich in antioxidants and have a scientifically proven beneficial effect on human health. ACTICOA™ keeps our natural resistance to oxidative stress intact, maintains a healthy heart and is good for a healthy blood pressure and blood circulation. ACTICOA™ products protect brain function and give us a general, healthy glow.
For further information on the use of ACTICOA™, the labelling and possible claims, please contact Barry Callebaut.
Hans Vriens, Chief Innovation Officer at Barry Callebaut: "ACTICOA™ chocolate is the only chocolate in the world that contains so many cocoa flavanols. The unique production process of ACTICOA™ preserves the very best from the cocoa bean. Dark ACTICOA™ chocolate, for instance, contains three times as many antioxidants (cocoa flavanols) as standard dark chocolate. A small portion of 17g ACTICOA™ chocolate contains all the flavanols you need to maintain a healthy blood pressure. ACTICOA™ lets you look after your health in the most delicious way possible."
1 17 persons per group - with a normal blood pressure (12/8)
2 8% reduction in stroke, 5% reduction in coronary artery disease mortality, 4% reduction in all cause mortality

They practically invented the genre of Rock music, and have influenced just about every other rock act since. Four people who rocked the World. This DVD and CD capture a much awaited reunion after the tragic death of John Bonham almost 30 years previous. John's son Jason filling the drum roll with the same gusto and power his father had done before. Messrs Page,Plant and Jones still as sharp and on the ball as they have always been. Anyone with any passion for music played how it should, buy this!!!! (Those who know Led Zep, should already have this!)

Brent Skorup: Spectrum Crunch
In this "best of," host Jim Lakely talks with Brent Skorup, director of operations and research at the Information Economy Project at the George Mason University School of Law. Skorup is the author of a new paper published by the Mercatus Center titled "Reclaiming Federal Spectrum: Proposals and Recommendations." Skorup and Lakely talk about why government policy is creating a "spectrum crunch" that is affecting everyone with a mobile device, and what to do to solve the problem.
