Yellow-rumped caciques (Cacicus cela) are widespread across northern South America. They can be found east of the Andes Mountains throughout the Amazon Basin. Yellow-rumped caciques are more numerous in the tropics than in temperate regions although some have been spotted along the southern border of Bolivia which is considered to be the southern (more temperate) extent of their range. They inhabit all northern countries of South America and extend east throughout the upper half of Brazil. They are native to the Amazon and have not been introduced into any other regions.

Physical Description
Yellow-rumped caciques are sexually dimorphic. Adult males range from 27 to 29.5 cm long and weigh approximately 100 g. Adult females typically reach 23 to 25 cm long and weight 60 to 80 g. Both sexes have similar colors, but females tend to be less colorful. Adults are mostly black but have a yellow spot on their wings and another bright yellow patch on their rump. They have pale blue eyes and a greenish yellow bill. When perched, the bright yellow colors can still be seen. This distinguishes yellow-rumped caciques from closely related red-rumped caciques (Cacicus haemorrhous).
First year yellow-rumped caciques have brown patches on the base of the bill and dark purple eyes. In second year birds, the bill is clear yellow and they have blue eyes. Males have olive edges on the belly feathers and females have traces of purple in their eyes. By third year they will express adult coloration.
Range mass: 60 to 103 g.
Range length: 23 to 30 cm.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: male larger; male more colorful

Yellow-rumped caciques typically do not live deep inside forests. They are considered an "edge" species, preferring to live along the forest borders near open areas such as fields and lakes. They typically nest in tree canopies, but also may be found in dense shrubbery. Because of their preference for forest borders, yellow-rumped caciques are frequently seen near areas of human activities.

Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
Trophic Strategy
Yellow-rumped caciques are insectivorous, feeding their young arthropods, mainly grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids (Orthoptera), but also orb-weaver spiders (Araneidae). Adults are not only insectivorous, but also fulfill their protein demands by eating fruits and nectar. Fruits of chupa-chupa (Quararubea cordata) trees are a favorite, along with figs (Ficus trigona). They also hunt in tree canopies for caterpillers and other invertebrates.
Animal Foods: insects; terrestrial non-insect arthropods; terrestrial worms
Plant Foods: fruit; nectar
Primary Diet: omnivore
Giant cowbirds (Scaphidura oryzivor) have been noted as nest predators. They attack both yellow-rumped cacique nests and a common neighboring species: russet-backed oropendolas (Psarcolius angustifrons). Female giant cowbirds are more prone to visit the nests of oropendolas than caciques, but it has been suggested that the two neighboring birds have a mutualistic relationship. Cowbirds visiting unprotected oropendola nests may be driven away by male yellow-rumped caciques.
Where yellow-rumped caciques nest on islands, their nests may be protected from terrestrial predators, such as snakes, through predation in by black caimans (Melanosuchus niger). Stelopolybia fuscipennis is a species of wasp that has been seen to drive away monkeys in yellow-cacique nest colonies.

Yellow-rumped caciques are vulnerable to predators while searching for food in the understory. Their bright yellow color makes them highly visible. Birds in the genus Accipiter (goshawks or sparrowhawks) and Micrastur (forest falcons) are known predators. Yellow-rumped caciques are also subject to many nest predators. However, they nest in areas that are well-protected from most mammals, snakes, and other birds. Wasp-nest colonies in close proximity provide protection from mammals, however, yellow-rumped caciques must ensure enough space between themselves and these wasps to avoid attack. Stelopolybia fuscipennis is a species of wasp that has been seen to drive away monkeys. Yellow-rumped caciques also sometimes live in island environments, which protect them from snakes. Caimans, such as the black caiman (Melanosuchus niger), often eat or deter snakes before they reach nests. In driving away other bird species, colony size is important. Other birds are "mobbed" by the colony when they posed a threat to nests.
Known Predators:
- black caracaras (Daptrius ater)
- Cuvier's toucans (Ramphastos tucanus)
- great black hawks (Buteogallus urubitinga)
- forest falcons (Micrastur species)
Anti-predator Adaptations: aposematic

Life History and Behavior
Songs are acquired through two phases: memorization and crystallization. Memorization begins within a few months of hatching and continues into the first breeding season. Yellow-rumped caciques don't fully crystallize their songs until their third year. Vocal signals are used to attract mates, defend territories, and advertise status. Colonies share 5 to 7 song dialects that differ from other colonies and are changed throughout the breeding season. Members are able to adopt these changes quickly and allow the colony to distinguish outsiders. Songs have social significances and males counter-sing one another to establish dominance.
Communication Channels: acoustic
Other Communication Modes: mimicry
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
- Trainer, J., R. Parsons. 2002. Delayed vocal maturation in polygynous yellow-rumped caciques. The Wilson Bulletin, 114/2: 249-254.
Life Expectancy
There is no information on lifespan in the literature.
Yellow-rumped caciques are polygynous, meaning that one male mates with many females. They are a colonial species, with group nests typically occupying one to two trees. Access to females depends upon dominance, which has been shown to correlate with weight. Larger size means greater numbers of females. Males compete with one another through their size and communication with aerial grappling and face to face "shouting". In addition, males counter-sing to one another. The individual who cannot keep up with crystallized songs is defeated. In all male bouts, there is a distinct winner and loser.
Females also compete with one another within a colony. As with males, size plays in important role in female dominance. Female yellow-rumped caciques fight to obtain prime nesting spot to ensure their eggs will be safe. Nest materials and spots have been stolen from by neighbors and aerial grappling and "shouting" also occurs. However, unlike males, not all female bouts have a distinct winner or loser.
Mating System: polygynous
The breeding season for yellow-rumped caciques lasts eight months, from July to February. Males mate with many females, but are limited by their ability to obtain and protect the females. After mating, males show no parental investment in the offspring except in aiding females in protecting the nest. While females are foraging or gathering materials, males assume duties for nest and territory protection. Re-nesting occurs at least once during the breeding season.
Females lay two eggs, each weighing 5 to 6 g. However, most of the time, only one egg survives. Eggs hatch about 15 days later and a single 2 to 3 g bird emerges. Mother birds feed her young arthropods. After about 25 days, young birds are able to fly on their own. Offspring mature in about two years, after having memorized most of the songs they will need in communication.
Breeding interval: Yellow-rumped caciques typically only breed once during the season, but some may breed twice.
Breeding season: Yellow-rumped caciques have an eight month breeding season that runs from July to February.
Range eggs per season: 0 to 2.
Range time to hatching: 13 to 14 days.
Range fledging age: 35 to 65 days.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 2 years.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 2 years.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; oviparous
Other than mating with females and protecting their territories, males play no part in parental care. Females are responsible for all other reproductive activities and offspring care. Females build the nests, incubate the eggs, and feed the young. Female mass fluctuates between 60 and 80 g throughout the process. The nests are typically built high in the canopy and hang from branches. Nests are built largely with twigs and leaves. Nestlings fledge when their weight reaches approximately 50 to 88 g, at about 25 days after hatching. Once young are capable of flying, mothers slowly gain their weight back which was lost while feeding young.
Parental Investment: female parental care ; pre-fertilization (Provisioning, Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female)

Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
There are no known adverse effects of Cacicus cela on humans.
Yellow-rumped caciques do not appear to provide direct economic benefit to humans. However, loss of this bird is likely to contribute to human problems. Yellow-rumped caciques often live on the edges of forests and nearby towns. They are insectivorous and feed on a large number of pest insects. Along with this, many people enjoy listening to their songs.
Positive Impacts: controls pest population
Yellow-rumped cacique
The yellow-rumped cacique (Cacicus cela) is a passerine bird in the New World family Icteridae. It breeds in much of northern South America from Panama and Trinidad south to Peru, Bolivia and central Brazil. However, have been sighted as far north as Nayarit, Mexico
The male is in average 28 cm long and weighs about 104 g, with the female 23 cm long and weighing 60 g approximately. The yellow-rumped cacique is a slim bird, with a long tail, blue eyes, and a pale yellow pointed bill. It has mainly black plumage, apart from a bright yellow rump, tail base, lower belly and wing "epaulets". The female is duller black than the male, and the juvenile bird resembles the female, but has dark eyes and a brown bill base.
The song of the male yellow-rumped cacique is a brilliant mixture of fluting notes with cackles, wheezes and sometimes mimicry. There are also many varied calls, and an active colony can be heard from a considerable distance.[2]
It has three subspecies:
- Cacicus cela cela – East of the Andes, from the Santa Marta coast of Colombia to central Bolivia and eastern Brazil.
- Cacicus cela vitellinus – Panama Canal Zone to the base of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the central Magdalena Valley of Colombia. First recorded in the Serranía de las Quinchas on January 17, 2006.[3]
- Cacicus cela flavicrissus – Eastern Andes foothills from Esmeraldas Province (Ecuador) to Tumbes Province (Peru).
The latter two may be a separate species, saffron-rumped cacique.[4]
The yellow-rumped cacique is a bird associated with open woodland or cultivation with large trees. This gregarious bird eats large insects and fruit.
It is a colonial breeder, with up to 100 bag-shaped nests in a tree, which usually also contains an active wasp nest. The females build the nests, incubate, and care for the young. Each nest is 30–45 cm long and widens at the base, and is suspended from the end of a branch. Females compete for the best sites near the protection of the wasp nest. The normal clutch is two dark-blotched pale blue or white eggs. Females begin incubating after laying the second egg; hatching occurs after 13 or 14 days. The young fledge in 34 to 40 days, usually only one per nest.
Relationship with humans[edit]
The yellow-rumped cacique has benefited from the more open habitat created by forest clearance and ranching. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN.[5]
In Peruvian folklore, this species – like other caciques and oropendolas – is called paucar, or – referring to this species only – paucarcillo ("little paucar"). This species is apparently the paucar that, according to a folktale of Moyobamba, originated as a rumor-mongering boy who always wore black pants and a yellow jacket. When he spread an accusation against an old woman who was a fairy in disguise, she turned him into a noisy, wandering bird. The bird's appearance is thought to augur good news.[6]

Kemps Attempts To Set Guinness World Record For "World's Largest Ice Cream Scoop" At Cedarburg's Strawberry Festival June 28
2,000+-Pound Ice Cream Scoop, Mobile Moooseum with Incredible Milking Cow Machine, Celebrate Kemps 100th Anniversary
CEDARBURG, Wis., June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Thousands of ice cream fans attending Cedarburg's Strawberry Festival on Sat., June 28 at noon will witness history in the making as Kemps attempts to set the Guinness World Record for "World's Largest Ice Cream Scoop" to commemorate the company's 100(th) Anniversary.
Over 2,000 pounds of strawberry ice cream will be shaped into a gigantic scoop by five nationally-ranked snow sculptors from Minnesota Big Snow, and will remain frozen at 20-degrees below zero until its official reveal to the public at the Strawberry Festival. When Kemps' Guinness World Record countdown clock strikes noon, the 2,000+-pound scoop will be lifted onto a digital scale for its official weigh-in with famed Guinness World Records' judge Philip Robertson, who has adjudicated more than 100 World Records including the world's largest hamburger. Once weighed, Strawberry Festival attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to actually eat a part of Kemps' historic, record-breaking scoop.
Kemps will also provide a blend of activities at the festival leading up to its World Record attempt, including a children's ice cream licking contest, an adult "no hands" ice cream eating contest, free ice cream samples, and the Milwaukee-area premiere of Kemps' Mobile Moooseum–a 53-foot-long semi-trailer packed with interactive, family-friendly exhibits. Inside the Moooseum, Strawberry Festival attendees can "milk" the rubber udders of a simulated Kemps' Cow, get a behind-the-scenes look at how Kemps' ice cream is made on the "From Farm to Freezer" Wall and explore a life-size, 1940s-era stainless steel soda counter. Kemps' festivities will be located on the corner of Washington Avenue and Mill Street in the Port Washington State Bank parking lot on the festival grounds.
"Kemps is excited and humbled to celebrate a century of nourishing our communities through the wholesome goodness of our ice cream and dairy products with a record breaking celebration," says Rachel Kyllo, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kemps. "What better way to commemorate the traditions of Kemps than by attempting to set a delicious Guinness World Record? Plus, it's an historic celebration you can eat!"

Snap crackle got Smitty's attention
posted 7 years ago
Smitty loves this tunnel. It reminds me of a plastic shopping bag crinkle sound. He will spend hours laying in the tunnel. He runs through it, bats his mice into it. It is entertaining to watch him. Oscar, the dog, gets real uptight when Smitty is playing with the tunnel.
Pros: inexpensive, durable, entertaining
Cons: none

Oh it's late and I'm sleepy but I accidentally made a cute outfit last night when I was rushing to get ready so I thought I would share.
Clothes & Skins & Hairs..oh my!
Oh it's late and I'm sleepy but I accidentally made a cute outfit last night when I was rushing to get ready so I thought I would share.
So, it's cold, it's getting dark and I broke my cooker yesterday. On the brightside there is new TRUTH hair and sales this weekend, so it's not all bad.
Have I mentioned before that Marketplace browsing is one of my favourite things to do? I'm not always looking for anything specific, in fact I'm rarely looking for something specific, I just like browsing to see what I can find and today…oh just wait until you see!
Brrr, it's getting cold! Anyone would think it was nearly winter…Speaking of winter (see what I did there?) I decided it was about time I got stocked up on winter cosy clothes and so I took a trip to d. select and oooo yum!
Guess what I found today? SHOES! Not only shoes but shoes I must have which is even better! Oh and I have glitter as well! Today was pretty much all round epic.
So now and again, I like to get a little smart and grown up. It's rare I admit but it happens. Although usually when I find something smart I want to buy. Which is kinda what happened this time.
I have the cutest things ever to show you. I'm so excited! Look at the legwarmers everyone!
I don't know about you but I am chilly tonight! Everything is getting cold and I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. Well, I mean, winter clothes are kinda cute so it's not all bad.

Product Description
The Marple films are endearingly modest productions, redeemed by peerless performances and mostly sharp scripts. Ron Goodwin's theme music used in all four films is an irresistible piece of '60s symphonic pop that's a classical gas. None of the actors are suspect. Rutherford gets able support from her real-life husband, Stringer Davis, who portrays Marple's Watson-esque sidekick. Venerable character actors Robert Morley and Ron Moody enliven Gallop and Foul, respectively. And in Murder She Said, that's Joan Hickson, who would go on to acclaim as Miss Marple in the celebrated BBC series (also available on DVD). But it's tough to steal a scene from Rutherford, whose Marple displays a keen mind, and, in Ahoy, surprising prowess with a sword! --Donald Liebenson

Hurricane Katia
June 26, 2013
Katia initially formed as Tropical Depression Twelve south of Cape Verde on August 29, 2011. By September 2, 2011, the storm had crossed the Atlantic Ocean and strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane. At 11:00 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time (AST) on September 2, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported that Katia had winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour with higher gusts. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image at 12:25 p.m. AST on September 2. Katia swirls over the water east of the Leeward Islands. Although the hurricane lacks a distinct eye, it sports the spiral shape characteristic of strong storms. Five-day projections released by the NHC on September 2 showed Katia traveling in the general direction of the U.S. East Coast, which was still recovering from Hurricane Irene.

After eradication of polio from the country, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today set full immunisation of every child as the next target.
A galaxy of dignitaries, including President Pranab Mukherjee, Congress President Sonia Gandhi, BJP leader Sushma Swaraj, Union Ministers and those from the WHO and Unicef, came together to celebrate "India's Victory Over Polio" after three years of no polio cases which will result in the country being certified polio-free by the WHO.
"This is indeed a historic day," Singh said amid thunderous applause from hundreds of invitees. "We should try and deliver life-saving vaccines to every child.... Even the remotest of corners should achieve full immunisation of all children against preventable diseases," he said.
Gandhi termed India's health eradication drive "unmatched" by any other health programme and "one of the several successes of the UPA government".
"It is something we can be proud of," she said, noting that the country had almost 50,000 polio cases over 20 years back.
"Let us bring same dedication... to eradicate other diseases, especially those which are a burden on children," she said as she pitched for universal affordable care.
The PM underlined the challenges the country faced in rooting out polio as until recently it accounted for more than half of polio cases in the world.
"It says something about our strong commitment and determination to eradicate this crippling disease from our midst that within a few years we have managed to reach a stage where we can be certified polio-free, reaching a goal that we had set for ourselves about a decade and a half ago," he said.
UPA was working to accelerate child survival and improve maternal health, he said, adding "it is only by ensuring a healthy and disease-free future for our children that we can reap the true demographic dividend of our country".

2000 BEST Group Dining
For more than 30 years, Casablanca restaurant has been the canteen of choice for Cambridge's smart set when they dine en masse. The reason for its success: An inviting bar with plenty of by-the-glass wine choices, an expertly prepared yet casual Mediterranean menu courtesy of chef Ana Sortun (don't miss creamy chick pea soup, the tangy short rib appetizer, or the filet of cod wrapped in bacon), and the whopping laughter of owner Sari Abul-Jubein providing the perfect soundtrack to the fun. Groups of any size are encouraged to make themselves right at home.

"The final product is absolutely gorgeous! The design is simple yet beautiful. I called customer service to see if I could change the layout of the response card and they were very helpful. They accommodated my request and the invites as well as the response cards were beyond my expectations. They also were delivered a week earlier than I had anticipated. Excellent job!"
"We sent these cards as announcements following our wedding. The paperstock was excellent and we have received many compliments. The design help to fit our long names and delivery time were also first rate."
"We were delighted with the quality of both the paper and the printing - we got the standard weight paper, after seeing a sample, and felt like it was just the right weight. We did have several insert cards for most of our invitations. The font as shown in the example looked just right for us too. I was going for a simpler look and was very happy with using inner envelopes only and not bothering with any envelope lining. I did get the rounded corner option, and loved it on this design. I thought these invitations were an excellent value for money and set just the tone I was looking for - chic and semi-formal for an "encore bride"."
"Loved the fall branch pattern simplicity and elegance. Used Azalea color for wedding invitations, response and enclosure cards. Used majestic and charcoal for menu and thank you cards to coordinate with fall wedding reception plum colors. Very pleased with results!"
"These arrived last night and I'm simply thrilled with the result.They are for my upcoming winter wedding at a ski resort in British Columbia. I went with rounded edges and paid to have the glossed finished! Perfect!"

Measles: Questions and Answers
Information about the disease and vaccines
It is no surprise that terrorism continues to be a threat in the United States and in the Nation's Capital. What may be surprising, however, is that some terrorists use materials and equipment that are generally available in the marketplace. Some terrorists may attempt to portray themselves as legitimate customers in order to procure the goods they need, while others may attempt to steal them.
In either case, it is usually an individual business or service organization that will be the first to notice something out of the ordinary. When that happens, it is critical that these suspicions be immediately passed on to law enforcement, so that the information can be examined, evaluated and, if necessary, acted upon.
That is why the Metropolitan Police Department created Operation TIPP (Terrorist Incident Prevention Program): to make it easy for businesses, service agencies and other organizations in the Washington region to get directly involved in terrorism prevention.
The MPDC encourages all businesses in the DC area to become familiar with Operation TIPP and to become actively involved in terrorism prevention.

Venezuela probes killing of eight at graduation party
More News from Agence France-Presse
CARACAS—Venezuela launched an investigation Sunday after eight people, including two minors, were shot dead at a graduation party in the southern Bolivar state.
Officials said gunmen stormed into the house party early Saturday as people were celebrating college graduation and opened fire. The dead included a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old.
Venezuela has among the highest homicide rates in the world, though mass shootings are rare.
There were 3,400 homicides in the first quarter of this year alone, after 16,000 people were murdered in 2012, according to government figures.
The lack of security is a major concern for Venezuelans, and President Nicolas Maduro has struggled to confront the problem since succeeding the late leftist leader Hugo Chavez earlier this year.
Last month Maduro signed gun control legislation requiring citizens to register firearms or surrender them as part of an amnesty.

I have recently begun researching my family tree and am not having much luck finding my Italian Sansoni / Sansone ancestors. I currently live in New Orleans, Louisiana.
My grandfather is Joseph Dominck Sansoni, he is still alive and resides in Marrero, Louisiana. To my knowledge he was born and raised in the Raceland area of Lafourche Parish. He had one brother Jarasch Leo Sansoni who died in Marrero, Louisiana. And has one sister Anna Mae who married a Tastet and now lives in Florida.
My great-grandfather was Simon Sansoni who married Emily Himel and later passed away about 1977 in Marrero, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. He had a brother Andrew Sansone who also passed away in Marrero, LA.
Their father was Domenic Sansone. I have recently found his alien registration card dated March 12, 1942 which indicated that he was born about 1866 in Italy. It states that he resided at the Godchaux Sugar Plantation in Raceland, Louisiana. The spelling of his name may or may not be correct as he signed the document using his mark "x", which leads me to believe he didn't read or write. An old obituary of another family member indicates that his wife may have been named Sara / Sarah Compo / Campo.
I'm not sure how to research to find out if my great grandfather had any additional siblings. I also don't know how to obtain additional information about my Great-great grandfather Dominic and his siblings/parents/ancestors.
Any tips or names of ancestors is greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

New Zealand PM to hold flag vote if re-elected
Published on Mar 11, 2014 10:46 AM
WELLINGTON (AFP) - New Zealand Prime Minister John Key on Tuesday pledged to hold a referendum on changing the national flag if he wins a third term in office in September.
Key had been tipped to hold the referendum alongside September 20 elections but said he did not want the campaign dominated by debate on whether or not the country needs a new flag.
The conservative leader reiterated his support for ditching the existing banner, which features the Union Jack - symbol of former colonial power Britain - in one corner, with the rest consisting of four stars representing the Southern Cross constellation.
Key said he was open to ideas but personally favoured a silver fern on a black background, the national emblem already used by New Zealand sporting teams such as rugby union's All Blacks.

Hedonist HostelBelgrade, Serbia
Couldn't really ask for more from a hostel. We stayed here on the weekend, so there was a lot of english lads there for a boozy weekend.
Travellers Home HostelSarajevo, Bosnia And Herzegovina
We stayed for 2 nights. The facilities are very good, very large rooms, great kitchen and common area. The breakfast was basic but sufficient. Generally has a very laid back atmosphere but the best aspect is the extremely friendly and helpful staff, notably Alem, who went well beyond the call of duty to help us. Recommended.
Ivanhoe HostelRome, Italy
We stayed at the Ivanhoe Hostel for 5 nights. The location is very good but somewhat hard to find. The hostel is very cramped with the "common room" consisting of the hallway. The atmosphere was actually quite friendly except for the staff who came off as strange (for instance, they are all male and sleep in the dorm rooms). However, one of us developed a number of suspicious bites on his back and arms which we suspect were bed bugs. Beware. Also lockout from 11am - 4pm ('party hostel??').

UNION — After being closed for nearly a year the Duncan Bypass end of Rice Avenue Extension is once again open.
Perry Crocker, Assistant District Maintenance Engineer for District 4 of the SC Department of Transportation, said Friday that the section of the road was reopened to thru-traffic on Tuesday.
Crocker said the road was closed to thru-traffic on July 10, 2013, because a crossline pipe that ran under that section of the road had washed out.
To repair the damage and reopen Rice Avenue Extension to thru-traffic to and from the Duncan Bypass, Crocker said the entire drainage system beneath the road had to be replaced.
After the drainage system was replaced, Crocker said new aphalt was placed on the road allowing it to be reopened.

Everyone loved the mask - except for a few older people who may have taken offense to it.

The Vinod Doshi Memorial Theatre festival in Pune focuses on plays that would not ordinarily be a part of the commercial theatre scene.
In its fourth year, The Vinod Doshi Memorial Theatre festival — set up by the industrialist's wife, art historian Saryu Doshi and son Maitreya Doshi, chairman Premier Ltd. as a tribute to his passion for the arts and particularly theatre — will be held at Yeshwantrao Chavan Theatre, Kothrud, Pune over five days.
Each year the festival puts together a representative selection of some of the best productions from different parts of the country. Plays are selected on the basis of criteria that change from year to year with a commitment to bringing good theatre to the city and promoting the long-term interests of theatre in the region by specifically promoting new experiments of a high quality.
This year the festival brings five such plays to Pune. It will begin with Sunil Shanbag's well received "Stories in a Song", a collage of captivating back stories set in diverse musical contexts from pre-Independence to current times. The anecdotes have been dramatised and performed by a talented set of actors who can sing, and has been conceived by classical musicians Shubha Mudgal and Aneesh Paradhan.
Over the next four days, plays in Hindi, Marathi and English will also be shown. "Preth", a Hindi play from Gopal Dutt and Purva Naresh in Mumbai, has a musical dramatic form overlaid with a folksy narrative and an attempt at social critique. "Bandhlelyachi Manogata" is a Marathi play, based on Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, directed by Praveen Bhole, an assistant professor at Lalit Kala Kendra Pune.
Veteran filmmaker and director Sai Paranjpye's "Aalbel" is inspired by Sartre's No Exit. The festival will end with "Comrade Kumbhakarna", a production by the National School of Drama Repertory, New Delhi with a distinctly political core. Directed by Pune based director Mohit Takalkar this ambitious Hindi play will have its first show in the city during the festival.
Festival director Ashok Kulakrni, who has selected the plays along with playwright Satish Alekar and director Sunil Shanbag, says the focus this year was on bringing good theatre, which would not ordinarily be a part of the commercial scene.
"The festival too is evolving and we are open to exploring a variety of strategies that will promote and encourage new and quality theatre", says Kulkarni.
In the past the festival has commissioned new plays that have received critical acclaim and looks forward to doing so again.

Investors badly misjudged the risks posed by auction rate securities (ARS), and the willingness of dealers to keep supporting the market in the event of a liquidity drought, a new report has shown.

You don't sound thick, at all, to me.Originally Posted by Blighty
There are a number of factors affecting color balance: the color temperature of the lighting is one, and probably the most significant. There will be variations due to processing - the age of the chemicals, the composition of the water used to mix them,... I couldn't begin to list them all ... I think the phase of the moon, whether Saturn was in Aquarius ... might have something to do with it all.
Frame-to-frame variations are less severe, however, even the positioning of the model in a mixed lighting situation can result in a different color balance, for example.
Normally, in the first frame I take, I'll have the model hold a gray card; from that I'll get a usable reference for analysis. From there, It all depends on the eye and taste, and perfectionism of the photographer - in this regard, it is no different than working in black and white.

A local youth group took the time Saturday to travel to Louisville and assist those affected by April 28 tornadoes.
Seven youth and seven adults from First United Methodist Church in West Point cleaned up debris at two homes in Louisville, according to FUMC Office Manager Julie Gray. She said the first house belonged to an elderly couple, and the second belonged to a resident who ran an antique shop out of her shed. Gray said the sheds of both homes were demolished and the yards were littered with debris.
"We moved a lot of the debris to the street for the elderly couple," Gray said. "The other home was two houses down, and we weren't able to completely finish that one because there were a lot of really big items."
Gray said the group sorted through what could be saved and carried the rest to the street to be removed. The group worked until mid-afternoon, she said, when volunteers quit due to heat.
FUMC Summer Youth Director Michael Lindsay said seeing the damage in Louisville was bizarre because houses would be destroyed on one side of the street, and completely untouched on the other side.
"It was an eye-opening experience," Lindsay said. "Cleanup and rebuilding are going to be long processes, but the families we helped were very appreciative and said we were a godsend."
FUMC member Sandy Henley said she'd seen the devastation on TV, but seeing it in person was overwhelming. She said it was good for the youth to see, so they can appreciate what they have.
"The couple we helped really touched my heart," Henley said. "The man told me when the tornado came through, he and his wife got in the hallway and got on their knees and said ,'If we go, we go together.'"
Gray said the FUMC youth group also collected water and cleaning supplies for the tornado victims in May. The group collected through church members and the youth also set up at Sunflower on May 17.
"After the tornadoes hit, we wanted to do something pretty fast," Gray said. "We always try to find mission work to expose our youth to, and sometimes we have to go far off to do that, but in this case we had people right here that needed help."
