I was lucky enough to see the beautiful Matisse exhibition at the Tate Modern in London last week. A few days later I was asked, by a TV researcher, how do you make maths interesting and understandable to people when so many people, in her experience, had hated and avoided it at school? In response I found myself telling her about the Matisse exhibiton. Not to change the subject or avoid discussing the bad reputation maths has in many people's minds, but to explain what we at Plus, along with many other maths communicators, try to do. Now I loved maths at school. It made sense, I could express what was in my brain and how I saw the world through maths, and I found it fun. What I found a challenge was art class, I didn't feel I had any artistic ability at all. People who could accurately draw or realistically paint people (or bowls of fruit or jugs of water...) amazed me - it was like they had a magic power. And for a long time I didn't think much of modern art. For example Picasso's pictures seemed ugly and didn't look like the things they apparently depicted, and Matisse's bright art seemed simplistic. My opinion on art, particularly modern art, has changed, thanks particularly to two fantastic exhibitions. The first was over a decade ago at a light-filled gallery in Spain that showed many of Picasso's preliminary sketches and studies leading up to the Guernica, the full work of which filled the final room of the gallery. Following the journey that Picasso took as he built towards this huge masterpiece, along with the commentary of the social and artistic context of the piece, gave me a new appreciation of the skill, effort and genius of this work. It was awesome. I began to see all his work differently. The Matisse show at the Tate contains many of what are called the Cut-Outs. Very late in his life, after a serious illness, he initially wasn't able to paint the huge canvases he previously produced. Instead, sitting in a chair or up in bed, he began to cut out coloured paper which he would instruct assistants to pin to the walls of his room and studio, moving it a little to the left or right, a little up or down, experimenting with these coloured shapes to build collages that had enormous power. He was so taken by this new genre he had invented that even when he recovered enough to paint he preferred this new approach. The exhibition contains video of Matisse at work, photographs of his studio and commentary that explain the personal, artistic and social context for his work. Walking through the chronologically arranged rooms it gave me a sense of his motivation for working this way, and how it changed his perspective, and the significance of this work both artistically but also its wider cultural context. The exhibition included different types of content: recordings of the artist himself (or someone speaking his words) about his motivation, clear descriptions of the works and how they were made, explanations of the significance of this work in art, and how they interpreted Matisse's world. And most importantly, of course, was seeing the works themselves, up close, smooth curves, jagged edges, bright colours, pinned together. It was the brilliant curation of this exhibition that reminded me and inspired me about the work we do here at Plus. We want to allow anyone a chance to see some of the wonders of mathematics up close. We hope that hearing the words of researchers will give a sense of their motivations in doing their mathematics, and we aim to show the significance of this work both in mathematics, and in a wider, cultural setting. We hope to give people a glimpse into how mathematicians perceive the world and how they use mathematics to express their perception of the world. And we hope this gives our readers a new appreciation of maths, of its power and beauty, that they might not have noticed or enjoyed before. Now I'll never be an artist. But thanks to clever and passionate curation I have over time developed an appreciation of many different types of art, that makes seeing new art less confronting and more exciting. And sometimes, when the urge arises, I might have a go at capturing something on pencil and paper or in cut-outs of coloured paper, just for my own pleasure. I hope that Plus plays a small part in helping everyone have a similar appreciation of mathematics. We might not all be mathematicians, but I hope we can all enjoy and engage with mathematical ideas, appreciate their beauty and power. And that the next time maths pops up in our lives, it's something to be excited about, rather than avoided.

We're very excited! Over the last year or so we helped edit a book called 50: visions of mathematics and this Wednesday it will be officially launched — in the presence of HRH The Princess Royal! The book celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and it's the IMA's anniversary party the book will be launched at. It contains articles from our favourite popular maths authors, including Ian Stewart, Marcus du Sautoy, Simon Singh, Chris Budd and John D. Barrow. There will be a foreword by Dara Ó Briain and also fifty images showcasing the beauty and diversity of maths. The main editor of the book is Sam Parc (follow her on Twitter) and we were part of a devoted editorial team that assisted her. If you like to read about maths with all its beauty and many applications, then why not have a look at the book? We're off to practice our curtsies...

Where were your most creative experiences at school? In art class? In music? English? In your maths lesson? That last one might not be the obvious choice for many of us, unless you were lucky enough to have a really inspiring maths teacher. But that is exactly the type of opportunity we are hoping to create for maths students aged 7-16 as part of the project, Developing Mathematical Creativity, with our sister site, NRICH. One aspect of the project that we are particularly excited about is highlighting the role of creativity in mathematics research. All mathematicians tell us that doing original mathematics is highly creative – but what exactly do they mean by that? We asked some researchers from a range of subjects about the role of creativity in their work. Working within constraints We started with David Berman who has a very interesting perspective on creativity. As well as being a theoretical physicist at Queen Mary, University of London, he also has a long standing collaboration with the Turner prize winning artist, Grenville Davey. Deconstructing the artistic idea of creativity, Berman told us that rather than an unbridled release of ideas where anything is possible, beauty comes from creating work withing very tight syntactic constraints. "Think of music: the tight system of key and chord makes music very constrained and yet capable of amazing emotional power," he said. For example Schoenberg's experiments with atonal music, though completely new and boundary breaking, were far from unconstrained. "Maths is like this. There are enormous syntactic constrains but still enough freedom to say something new. The beauty lies in between the constraints of syntax and the freedom of meaning." Taking risks David Spiegelhalter, the Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, said he recognised creativity in research when someone makes a leap between two different areas, making new connections between them, perhaps using a tool from one area in another. And, as is fitting for someone with his expertise, Spiegelhalter highlighted that creativity is about stepping into the unknown and taking risks, something that can be different to our experience of mathematics in school. "Research is different to maths at school because you don't know where it will end, nobody has gone there before to tell you the answer but you have a feeling that something will come out." Asking good questions Ben Allanach, a professor of theoretical physics from the University of Cambridge, also mentioned this exploratory nature of creativity and research: "You don't know the answer [to the questions you're asking] before you start… You don't even know if there is an answer." He gave some examples such as inventing new models of particle physics, or new algorithms for analysing data. In this sense, a key aspect of creativity is the ability to ask good questions. "Creativity has a role in research in deciding which projects to work on," said Allanach. And as well as creating or choosing good questions that, as Spiegelhalter said, you have a feeling that something will come out, it's also important to be able to spot when your questions turn out to not be such good choices after all. "Personality and judgement play a large role," said Allanch. "When do you persist? When do you struggle on and when is the time to give up on a line of enquiry?" Interestingly, our discussions with researchers from chemistry, although quite a different field from mathematics, produced some very similar ideas. Charlotte Williams, Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO in Australia, also emphasised the importance of asking good questions, persevering with them, and constantly reviewing if you were still going in the right direction. "Most research projects come from a position of fundamental direction: you need your research grounded in reason, precedent and understanding of the subject, but then you need to innovate and that is where the creativity comes in," said Williams. But, as well as being able to ask good questions, Williams also emphasised that persistence was an important attribute to research success. Persistance Animation of the small subunit of the Thermus thermopiles ribosome. RNA shown in orange, protein in blue. (Image in public domain) Although the emphasis is often on the new, Williams made the point that great research also comes from thorough investigation and understanding of current work. "Nobel prize winner Ada Yonath (in Chemistry, 2009), said just this when I heard her speak. She would never have solved the structure of ribosome or got the Nobel prize if she hadn't continued to do the same work for her whole career. And importantly have the funding bodies and universities support that (and not say, 'you've been trying to do this for too long, do something new'...). She said she thought that tenacity and follow through in research was vastly under-rated." Perhaps this persistence with an idea, following it through, testing it out and really gaining an understanding of what is going on, is also a valuable element of creativity. Williams felt that it is only once you have learnt the fundamentals of chemistry at school and in undergraduate degrees, that real creativity is possible. This could be seen as in contrast to our aim to encourage creative thinking in maths from the very earliest ages. Perhaps this is core difference between the subjects of maths and chemistry - there are a lot more costs and dangers associated with doing chemistry than playing with maths. "Too much creativity [in reasearch] and you could waste a lot of time and effort," says Williams. "So it's the combination that is key: thinking of a new direction or interesting area to explore that has a reasonable likelihood of being successful." Also, due to the real physical dangers of some chemical reactions, it's not appropriate to just let students follow their own ideas without proper supervision. "I respect and appreciate a student's thoughtfulness and creativity but given that they are students, they still need guidance. In particular in chemistry, going off being creative without having the appropriate experience or without having consulted one's supervisor, can be really dangerous to be honest." Collaboration and interaction The final theme that really emerged from these researchers was the importance of interaction and collaboration in allowing for creativity in research. Williams said the process of attending conferences, listening to seminars and staying in touch with new research stimulates collaboration with people that might lead off into unexpected directions. Allanach too said that creativity often comes from interacting with others. So what role do you think creativity has in learning and researching maths, both as an academic but also as a student? What have been your favourite experiences of mathematical creativity?

If you're not sure how maths is relevant to real life, then go to see this year's popular lectures put on by the London Mathematical Society. Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College will explore the digitisation of our lives — the fact that many of the things we enjoy and work with are now stored on computers which reduce them to numbers. This has weird consequences. For example, some numbers are copyrighted, and there are even some illegal prime numbers. But way before this digital revolution, mathematicians realised that numbers could encode all of mathematics (even the parts of it that aren't about numbers), and this has some even stranger consequences. How do diseases spread? Julia Gog, of the University of Cambridge, will look at how mathematics has been applied to help understand and control infectious diseases, from the scale of a single virus particle through to a global influenza pandemic, and some mathematical challenges for the future. The lectures will take place on Wednesday 9th July at the Institute of Education in London (7:00pm) and again on Wednesday 24th September at the Haworth Lecture Theatre, University of Birmingham (6:30pm). They are free, but if you wish to attend, please write to firstname.lastname@example.com. A form for registration is available on the LMS website. And if you would like to go prepared, why not read Julia Gog's Plus article as well as our other articles on the maths of diseases, and find out why encoding maths in numbers leads to surprises. |

Yesterday cosmologists at the University of Cambridge delivered their verdict on a major breakthrough that rocked science this week: the announcement of the BICEP2 project of direct evidence for an inflationary theory of the Universe and the existence of gravity waves (see here for our report). Having caught their breath, the Cambridge scientists carefully studied the results published by BICEP2 and presented their thoughts to a packed lecture theatre at the Institute of Astronomy. The verdict was positive. "I don't see anything particularly fishy," said cosmologist Anthony Challinor. "There are niggles and there will always be with these kinds of data sets. But it all looks ok to me." The all sky map of the temperature fluctuations in the CMB, as seen by Planck. (Image credit ESA and the Planck Collaboration) That's good news for the BICEP2 project, but there may be even more exciting news for cosmology as a whole. Challinor and George Efstathiou, his co-presenter at yesterday's talk, both work on the Planck mission, which uses a space based telescope to map the cosmic microwave background (find out more here). The trouble is that there's tension between Planck's results and those of BICEP2. Planck data concerning temperature fluctuations in the early Universe seem to suggest that there aren't any gravitational waves at all. BICEP2 data, looking at polarisation of light, suggest that there are. So if BICEP's conclusions are correct, physicists may need to look for new physics to explain the discrepancy. The detection of gravity waves is intimately linked to the idea that the Universe experienced a rapid period of accelerated expansion, called inflation, in the distant past, so it's inflationary theories that will come under scrutiny. "The BICEP2 results have been an absolute triumph for the theory of inflation," says Challinor. "But the problem now is that the simplest models of inflation don't actually seem to fit. It's almost like we know less about inflation than we did before. What we need now is independent confirmation [of the results] from another experiment. If we see that, then it could well mean that we need new physics [to explain the results]." It looks like cosmology is heading for exciting times! |

Tell me a story. (Looking for a prose writer for an eBook single.) — UPDATED
Sunday, March 29, 2015
I want to take a foray into electronic publishing.
I am looking for a (prose) writer to provide a short story, novella or non-fiction story that I will turn into an iBooks-formatted eBook for sale (in the iBookstore), released under my Chase Sequence publishing imprint. Chase Sequence published Multiplex: There and Back Again, which won the 2014 IPBA Gold Medal for Best Graphic Novel/Drawn Book–Humor/Cartoon, so technically it is an award-winning publisher.
There is no limitation with regard to genre, but I will say that my taste in prose leans strongly toward literary fiction and non-fiction, and toward characters, psychology, and well-written prose over plot. (Margaret Atwood is my favorite writer.)
What to Submit: A pitch for a 30+ page, prose short story/novella/non-fiction piece. No comics — no picture books. If you have already written the short story, great, but it must be previously unpublished. Please include links or URLs to a resumé and examples of previous published work would be helpful, to give me a feel for your voice.
Send questions (or submissions) to gordon at multiplexcomic.com.
The Terms: No money up front, but 50% of the cover price in exchange for one year of exclusivity (from the date of publication). The writer retains all other rights to their story. These will be sold via iBooks only (at least at first), which means that Apple will get 30% and I will get 20% for my contributions: I will edit the story; I will design and produce the eBook; I will illustrate a cover for it (or hire someone else to, if I'm not the best fit for the story); I will help promote it.
Please submit your pitch before April 30, 2015. I will notify the selected writer(s) I am interested in working with as soon as possible after that.
Thanks for your interest, everyone! I'll review the submissions and get back to the one or two people whose work I'd like to move forward with shortly. (I'll try to respond either way, actually, but you get the idea.)

Split and grill these sweet no yeast "crumpets" for extra flavor. |
I started out craving a scone. Then it turned into a crumpet. Not a traditional crumpet. A crumpet without yeast. And sweet. Not because I have anything against yeast (I dig my English Muffins bigtime), but because I had a bevy of ripe bananas hanging out on my kitchen counter, whispering to me, coaxing me to imagine a new recipe and highlight their fragrant banana awesomeness. So that's how it all started.
Warning: Here's the part of the story where I am destined to offend anti-baking mix purists- you know, those Healthier Than Thou commenters who stop by like clockwork to remind me of the horror of potato starch. And sugar. And fat. They have only my best interest at heart, of course. Nothing less than my weak and sinful soul. The soul that craves chocolate for breakfast. And harbors an abiding crush on Keanu Reeves.

Better liked than Congress: David Petraeus
Not quite. According to a Gallup poll released Tuesday, 40 percent of Americans still have a favorable opinion of Petraeus, compared to 30 percent who now have an unfavorable opinion. Eight percent had no opinion.
For those of you keeping track, Congress -- and its 21 percent job approval rating -- is now less popular than a retired four-star general who is at the center of an extramarital affair scandal so convoluted that you need flow charts to understand it.
Congress' latest job approval rating, released in October, is the highest the institution has enjoyed since May 2011.

Bought them because of infinity sign When I saw this ring, I bought it immediately. My husband and I always say, "I love you more than infinity," to each other, so this was a memento I wanted to wear on my pinky. The ring is extremely lightweight, and is already quite bent. But I wear it all the time. Don't know when it will fall apart, but until then, I'll enjoy it.

Simple but beautiful ring! I received my new infinity ring before I left for the Dominican Republic. I'm 25 and finding size 4-41/2 rings are so difficult. The ring fits perfectly. The ring was exposed to direct sunlight all throughout vacation. I also used sunscreen and tanning oil with the ring on. The ring stayed in the same condition! I recommend!

Is the ring pure sterling silver or will it turn colors?
Hello ashmariemic, this ring is .925 sterling silver. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us!
It is sterling
So far I been using it for one week since I got them
Its pure,I've had mine for years. Haven't turned.
Not pure silver but shouldn't turn colors. I've worn mine for awhile and even cleaned it in a sonic jewelry cleaning machine and never had a problem.
Is there copper under the gold plating? Will it turn you finger green?
Hi sheffermcarl, this ring is Sterling silver beneath the gold plating. Also metal turns skin green when there is a chemical reaction with your skin or when some substances are used. Due to the multiple combinations this could happen at anytime and we are unable to predict if this can or will happen to you. I hope this helps, thanks for shopping with us.

It's sterling silver

New seat covers protect and renew your interior in ways great and small. Do so with sophisticated yet economical style when you use Coverking Alcantara Seat Covers.

Custom-designed for your car, these seat covers are guaranteed to have a perfect fit. In addition, these covers are breathable, stain-resistant, and fully washable.
Material. What is Alcantara? It is a unique and innovative covering material, the result of a unique and proprietary technology. Alcantara is composed of about 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane for giving increased durability and stain resistance. The appearance and tactile feel of the material is similar to that of suede, and it's easy to confuse the two. That is until the suede is a couple of years old and starts to get shiny, crack and fade. Production of Alcantara is actually done in a carbon-neutral factory, and doesn't rely on animal products. The complex non-woven manufacturing process yields a supremely soft, long-wearing surface that is now used as an original seat covering material by such as BMW, Maserati, Lamborghini and Audi, and more. Give your seats a freshening, or protect the seats in your new car with a set of Alcantara Custom Seat Covers. The rich, suede-like center sections are flanked by sides of long-wearing, luxurious leatherette. Custom-fitted to your vehicle, they install in minutes and will be difficult to distinguish from original upholstery.
Cover the Seats, don't Hinder the Functionality. Coverking designed Custom Seat Covers to deliver maximum comfort and keep the vehicle seats' features, such as the airbags, seatbelts, and even electric massage, fully functional. It was of vital importance in cover creation process to provide the client with full functionality of the car seats. That's why Coverking's Custom Seat Covers are compatible with seats having integrated airbags, headrest, armrest and console covers. Custom Seat Covers for middle and rear seat rows are also available, offering an option of folding down seat back and a free access to the trunk. Unlike simple cutouts made in other seat covers, the flap prevents wrinkles, preserving the shape of the seat. It is made of the same material as the seat cover to match completely. What makes these Custom Seat Covers distinctive from others is that they can be easily removed along with the seat from the vehicle, remaining on. With the seat cover on, seat backs and bottoms can be moved and adjusted inside the car as well.
299.99Brand: Coverking Part Numbers: The Coverking company was founded in 1986 in Southern California by an Industrial and Electrical Engineer, that previously worked in Aerospace Defense industry. Utilizing the latest CAD/CAM systems borrowed from Aerospace industry, the company managed to shorten the manufacturing process from nearly a month to nearly a single day. Since its launch, the company made a huge leap and has purchased several automotive companies later, some of which dated back to 1974. The company started with Dash Covers products and extended its products line with Custom Floor Mats, Custom Car Covers, Custom Seat Covers and Custom Sunshields. Growing production volumes did not change the company's main focus – creating high quality products that will serve their best to the customers and their vehicles.

Make MayDay happen: Challenges of MayDay need your ideas and your support
Dear Neighbors,
I'm writing about the MayDay Parade and Festival, specifically the situation for MayDay this year and into the future.
I'm the artistic director of In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, one of the founders of MayDay, and one of the midwives of this event's artistic and community development for 39 years. It has been my great joy to work with so many wonderful people for so many years! Thank you!
This year has me worried, though. As we crafted our theatre's finances for 2013, our executive director Loren Niemi suggested we not "do MayDay" this year; our budget would not support it. …What? Not do MayDay?! After much discussion, our Board and staff agreed instead to do MayDay with a budget 33% less than previous years, while making a commitment to build a broader base of public fiscal support for this very public event.
One special idea: Be part of a support "Guild" for the MayDay Ceremony ritual puppets. There are certain puppets used every year for the MayDay Ceremony in Powderhorn Park: the Tree-of-Life, the Sun Flotilla, the Woods, the Prairie, The Sky, and the River. There are already "guilds" of people that care for the Tree-of- Life and the Sun Flotilla. These teams not only tend to the repair and assembly of these puppets, but also the enactment of these puppets in the Ceremony. I am looking for teams of people who would do the same for the "Old Ones"— the 4 big puppets of The Sky, The Woods, The Prairie, and The River. Many of you may know Jim Koplin and the immense volunteer support he gave our theatre. Many of you may also know he died unexpectedly in December, leaving an immense hole in our hearts. One of the many things Jim did was take care of "The Old Ones." I am looking for people to pick up Jim's torch in his honor. If you are interested, please talk with me. |
It is my belief that MayDay can be supported by the constituents for whom it means so much, especially if everyone understands "what it takes" to "do MayDay." This is why I write to you—to help you understand the challenges we face, and to ask for your support and ideas.
It takes both money and volunteers!
Let's build a broad base of financial and volunteer support to assure the future sustainabilityof MayDay! In the Heart of the Beast Theatre cannot do it alone.
If everyone who comes to MayDay contributed $5, (less than the cost of a movie), then Mayday would flourish, end of story.
Sandy Spieler
MayDay Q&A
The Economics of MayDay:
MayDay has miraculously thrived in somewhat of a "gift economy"—a mixture of monetary donations from individuals, combined with labor and vision donations from many, many volunteers, along with a cadre of artists and organizers hired for MayDay who blend countless hours of volunteer labor within their honorariums fees.
Some questions you might have:
Who Produces MayDay?
In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre is responsible for the production of Mayday. It is a year-round process for our staff—fundraising, organizing, training artists, securing permits, with addressing logistical and creative questions that take all of our skills to support the community in producing the final event.
Does the City of Minneapolis sponsor MayDay?
No. The city lauds MayDay as a glorious example of a community art event. However, we get no financial support from the City. We pay for all the police services ($3,100), street permits, and expenses.
Does the Minnespolis Park System support MayDay?
Powderhorn Park is very helpful for MayDay, but we receive no funds from the Park. Rather, we pay $4,500 to the park, and an additional $2,000 fee for security. We also lend puppets for a Halloween Event at the park, in exchange for staging the MayDay Festival in Powderhorn Park.
How is the MayDay budget structured and why the reduction this year?
People and people services: (fulltime and part-time artists, organizers, security, traffic
control, recycling, etc.): $91,290* (note: this represents about 80 people)
Powderhorn Park Fee: $4,500
Printing, promotion, and fundraising mailings: $6,700
Supplies for puppets: $2,500*
Equipment rental (porta-potties, sound systems, trucks): $8,100
Space rental: $9,500
Miscellany (volunteer food, tee shirts, permits, etc.): $6,545
Earned fees (vendors, information booths, join-in fees): $21,500
Concessions (tee-shirts, posters): $6,000
Ad sales for the program: $10,000
Solicited contributions before Mayday: $32,000
Contributions collected on MayDay: $12,250
Grant from COMPAS/United Arts: $6,750
Sponsorships: $30,000 (note: not certain of this yet)
In the Heart of the Beast General Operating support: $9,650 (note: not certain of this yet)
*With expenses, supplies for puppets are only $2,500, with a priority on people costs: $91,290. We are proud of that.
All our income is uncertain and mostly raised from many donations of small amounts.
It takes both money and volunteers! Over the years, as the MayDay Parade and Festival grew, there have many added organizational expenses for permits, fees, staff, and more. Many people do not realize that MayDay costs a lot of money—that it is a year-long project to assure its wonderfulness each year. In the Heart of the Beast Theatre subsidizes the expenses from its general operating support, and began an increased focus both on donations for the day of MayDay itself and on community group sponsorships. The recent years have been difficult for two main reasons:
1) With the general economic downturn, HOBT has had less to offer from its general operating support.
2) Two years in a row of unfortunate weather really hurt our donations the day of MayDay itself (2 years ago we had frigid weather of 35 degrees all day, and this past year MayDay was delayed one week due to rain).
Our budget cutback this year is hopefully realistic, but not optimistic about the weather: it's a 33% reduction. The cuts were all taken in people hired—other expenses remain fixed. For instance, I have hired only 7 artists, instead of the 14 of last year. There are 6 Festival Coordinators instead of 9. MayDay staff reductions have me particularly concerned for the smooth and safe running of the public parade-building workshops, with hundreds of attendees, as well as for running MayDay itself smoothly and safely. To do the work, we will need additional volunteers.
Each year we rely on about 200 volunteers to produce Mayday, not counting who is in the parade or ceremony. The more years someone volunteers, the more skilled they are. That helps us greatly. Volunteering can be as little as a one-time deal on MayDay itself, or as long as the 4 weeks of consistent support we need for the public workshops beforehand. This is especially crucial in 2013 as we hire fewer artists.
Could you be a workshop volunteer this year? We will need help finding Block Hosts. Would you be one? Could you be a volunteer on the day of MayDay to help set up or tear down the Festival?
Can Mayday be sustained by many people, or by several big corporations (as some recommended)?
I believe MayDay can be sustained by the strength of the neighborhood, built by donations from people who want it to continue as a community art-making, vision-stretching, life-affirming event. If everyone who comes to MayDay contributed $5, (less than the cost of a movie), then Mayday would flourish, end of story. 30,000 people each giving 5 dollars: that is $150,000!
We need your help to keep MayDay with its freedom of expression rising honestly from the community. Would you really wish to see a corporation brand MayDay with their logo? Coca Cola, for instance—do you remember the 2007 Mayday theme of water ("Somos Agua") with its plea to end the proliferation of plastic bottled water and the selling of water for a profit? Coca Cola is a major producer of bottled water (Dasani). Would they have allowed the community to speak negatively about privatized water?
Lets then build a broad base of financial and volunteer support to assure the future sustainability of MayDay! In the Heart of the Beast Theatre cannot do it alone.
How do we build a broad base of financial support? (of 30,000!)
Are there those among you who would step forward to inspire a group of your friends to support MayDay financially? Say, 10 or 20 friends? One idea is to set goals for various teams of people, then have those teams come to a dinner in the "parade-build" workshop the night before it all begins (April 5th). Another idea is to host fundraising breakfasts and brunches on the day of the event. Teams can be made up of children, teens, beautiful young adults, families, old timers, you name it. You probably have better ideas than I do! Who is it that loves MayDay?
Are there organizations or clubs that could be a sponsor of MayDay, such as your co-op, or church?
What other ideas do you have?
We now ask for donations on the day of MayDay itself (such as when people purchase tickets to events). How could we do this in a fun, successful way?
If the MayDay Parade and Festival is to have a long life, inspiring and delighting generations yet to come, it must have the community's financial and volunteer support. That is the simple fact of it. Now is the time to help continue this tradition.
Looking forward to MayDay Meetings and MayDay, Sandy

SANDY, You know if I was in
You know if I was in Minneapolis I would be doing ALL I could physically to lend a hand of support to you and that theater.
What can I do from afar? My wheels are turning. I will find a way to help, and please dont hesitate to ask of me anything. Mayday is a necessary event and I believe it WILL find a way to happen in some shape or form.
I so MISS my beloved community back home.
Just an idea
Perhaps try CROWFUNDING = GoFundMe http://www.crowdfunding.com/
I'm nearly 100% positive that $50k could be raised in a matter of months from kickstarter small donors. People are familiar with crowd funding now. That plus the ability to SMS donate the day of (which has been great!) can raise a lot from small donors. Maybe there needs to be a paid fundraiser that is also cultivating some big money individual sponsorships? MayDay is an institution in south minneapolis, there are plenty of people who wouldn't let it disappear. More importantly, why would the director of HOTB even think that not sponsoring MayDay was an acceptable proposal.
Donations the Day of
Sandy, you asked how this could be made fun...MayDay already fun, could this be participatory, maybe the donor buys a MayDay prayerflag to run up on lines in the park, or maybe its something like a paper flower that can be added to a MayDay prayertower...whatever the small item, could they be made in a separate workshop by volunteers maybe less creatively or physically abled, so as not to overload the existing workshops...or if this is too much, maybe MayDay balloons to release all together during the ceremony? maybe this becomes part of the Theme this year?(since it already is):
maybe its about not taking thisl precious Now for granted
Much Love and Thanks
one of your old paraders
This may not be obvious to folx who don't work in the field, but Kickstarter is essentially a less-reliable version of Razoo/GiveMN.org (they have nearly identical GUIs). The problem with Kickstarter from a non-profit perspective is that if you don't reach your goal, you don't get the money. With GiveMN, any amount donated goes to the organization, minus fees. The best way to donate remains by cash or check, since you're not automatically losing 3% to the credit card companies/Razoo/whoever.
As a long time fan of, participant in, and contributor to the Parade and HOBT, I'd really like to see more people stepping up and supporting this amazing organization at every level. As an employee of an arts non-profit, I know that virtually every arts organization in the Twin Cities is in the same boat as HOBT. Unfortunately, the money, from both private funders and the government, just isn't there. There are a record number of organizations applying for every grant dollar, and soliciting contributions from the same small pool of wealthy donors. If things are going to get better for the arts, small donors MUST step up and pick up the slack. It's not the most just solution, but it's the only one available to us.
Artist's booths
How about having artist booths for $150/booth? they could be set up in the baseball field
Text donations
Last year at the event, there were signs with a number to text donations to. "To donate $10, text. Mayday to..." If this was posted somewhere, I would do it right now. I imagine a lot of others would, too.
Yes we can or better we have to
This was my Mothers favorite event of the year. You honored her with. A Puppet of her. Thanx for that. It was beautiful. I wasn't there to see it, living as I do in cal. However Kathy Laughlin sent a video of it., but I have traveled there, arranging my visit so as to be there in May. Certainly this must continue. I am so sorry u artists have to concern ur selves with money. I can just imagine the creativity that would flow if it wasn't diverted. I don't know how I can help, I'm so far away and at 83not as spry as I used to be. Send out some call for help that we can mail out. Be it kickstart or any other org or just from u. There can be no denying, no excuse, no reason for this gigantic powerful, contribution to us all.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
