Dori Sanders’ No-Churn Fresh Lemon Ice Cream
Soap is composed of a fat, lye, and
water. When these materials are mixed they saponify
to create soap. The soap is then poured
into container where it sets for 24 hours.
After set-up, the mixture is cured for 1-2 months to allow the water in
it to evaporate, making it harden into the form that we associate as soap. Read about Clara Curran and her project working with the artist Janine Antoni on
developing a new soap recipe at http://museumblog.winterthur.org/page/12/?cat=-1
INVENTED TRADITION
It has every appearance of being an actual tradition, in that it repeats
images and symbols drawn from the past (real or imagined), but is in fact both
of a relatively recent origin and artificially created. British historian Eric Hobsbawm identified
this phenomenon in a collection of essays he edited with Terence Ranger, The
Invention of Tradition (1983). One of
the most striking examples of an invented tradition adduced in this collection
is Scottish tartan—the colourful clan tartans tourists purchase along the Royal
Mile in Edinburgh are in fact an early 19th-century invention, not an ancient
tradition as is claimed. Hobsbawm's point,
however, is not to mock such fictions, but to highlight the ideological
importance of at least the perception of continuity with the past. http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100009526

A harbor, even if it is a little harbor, is a good
thing, since adventurers come into it
as well as go out, and the life in it grows strong, because it takes something
from the world, and has something to give in return. - Sarah Orne Jewett, poet
and novelist (1849-1909) Sarah Orne Jewett was born in South
Berwick, Maine, where she lived her entire life. At age 19, Jewett published her first story
and was soon encouraged by William Dean Howells to publish her stories as a
book. Her career continued to rise
steadily and she became one of the most prominent literary figures of her
time. Though primarily known for her
prose work, Jewett also left a small collection of poems, most of which were
unpublished in her lifetime. Her poems
are formal pieces, strongly rhymed and metered, and often deal with subject
matter similar to her fiction—her hometown and the deeper meaning of its
traditions. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/sarah-orne-jewett

Subject: roister-doister I first read the play Ralph Roister
Doister in a college class on English drama from 900-1642, sans
Shakespeare. I’d recommend anyone
interested in Shakespeare to take some time to read the plays of his
contemporaries, playwrights such as Jonson, Dekker, Heyward, Webster,
Massinger, and Ford. One will find
passages of superb poetry in the plays from these writers.

In linguistics,
a hyponym (from
Greek hupó, "under" and ónoma,
"name") is a word or phrase whose semantic field is
included within that of another word, its hyperonym or hypernym (from
Greek hupér, "over" and ónoma,
"name"). In
simpler terms, a hyponym is in a type-of relationship with its
hypernym. For example, pigeon, crow, eagle and seagull are
all hyponyms of bird (their hypernym); which, in turn, is a hyponym
of animal.

examples and graphics at https://www.redlinels.com/hypernyms-and-hyponyms/ Tip: A hypernym is more general (for instance, bird) than
its hyponyms (such as cardinals and pelicans).
Definition of adjective banal: lacking originality, freshness, or novelty : TRITE There are several pronunciations
of banal, but the three most common are \BAY-nul\,
\buh-NAHL\, and \buh-NAL\ (which rhymes with canal). The earliest pronunciation given in our
dictionaries is the now-unused \BAN-ul\ (rhymes with “flannel); it is attested
to in our dictionaries back to the 1800s, but has dropped out of use. \BAY-nul\ is the next oldest
pronunciation. The more recent \buh-NAL\
and \buh-NAHL\ came about through French influence, since banal was borrowed into English from French, and
those two pronunciations are closer to the French pronunciation of banal. All
three pronunciations are acceptable in educated speech; \buh-NAL\ is currently
the most common, followed by \BAY-nul\ and then \buh-NAHL. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/banal
