		Blue Moon There's a reason why "once in a blue moon" is a saying and the night sky on Friday will prove it. A blue moon is defined as any time there is a second full moon during a calendar month, according to NASA. While most years have 12 full moons, this year has 13. Don't let the name fool you, though. Blue moons are very rarely blue. Most are pale gray and white, resembling a moon on any other night. A truly blue colored moon can occur on rare occasions, according to NASA, with most being spotted after volcanic eruptions. It's also possible Friday's moon could be red. "Often, when the Moon is hanging low, it looks red for the same reason that sunsets are red, NASA explains. "The atmosphere is full of aerosols much smaller than the ones injected by volcanoes. These aerosols scatter blue light, while leaving the red behind." Step outside at sunset on July 31 to check out the blue moon, then if you're so inclined, go ahead and celebrate by doing something you only do "once in a blue moon." ~excerpt from: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/blue-moon-makes-fridays-moon-special/story?id=32789558 Send this link to anyone you think would be interested in reading this entry.




		Happy Birthday Filmmakers fighting "Happy Birthday" copyright find their "smoking gun" A 1927 kids' songbook proves "conclusively the song is in the public domain." It's been two years since filmmakers making a documentary about the song "Happy Birthday" filed a lawsuit claiming that the song shouldn't be under copyright. Now, they have filed what they say is "proverbial smoking-gun evidence" that should cause the judge to rule in their favor. The "smoking gun" is a 1927 version of the "Happy Birthday" lyrics, predating Warner/Chappell's 1935 copyright by eight years. That 1927 songbook, along with other versions located through the plaintiffs' investigations, "conclusively prove that any copyright that may have existed for the song itself... expired decades ago." Read on...this is interesting... ~excerpt from: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/07/filmmakers-fighting-happy-birthday-copyright-find-their-smoking-gun/ Send this link to anyone you think would be interested in reading this entry.

		International Folk Art Alliance: Folk Art Market Takes Place in Santa Fe Annually I've been in Santa Fe for 4 days and attended this astounding event. It has been said that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Over the past 10 years, the organization you have known as the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market has been providing opportunity to folk artists at the world's largest market of its kind. Our organization has expanded programs to meet the specific challenges that folk artists are facing in the global marketplace. What was born out of Santa Fe as a small grass roots organization focused on one weekend a year, has now grown into a nonprofit empowering international folk artists year-round. Allied with the world's master folk artists, participation in IFAA results in communities around the world having clean drinking water, education for girls, improved health care and thriving folk art communities. The IFAA mission is to celebrate and preserve living folk art traditions and create economic opportunities for and with folk artists worldwide. IFAA envisions a world that values the humanity of the handmade, honors timeless cultural traditions, and embraces dignified livelihoods for folk artists across the globe. And that, after all, is ... The Work of Art. There will be future entries to this blog about the Market. Stay tuned and check back often for this and other Art\|Centric topics. -excerpts from Folk Art Alliance Web Site: www.folkartalliance.org original photo by dmdart Send this link to anyone you think would be interested in reading this entry.

		July 4th, Independence Day, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain. There is much dispute and debate over the actual date of the signing. Nevertheless, July 4th is the date our nation has picked to celebrate. So let's do celebrate, in whatever way is personally meaningful, that we live in the greatest nation on earth. Give a thought to Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, among the others, who had the courage to draft and sign the document. original photo by dmdart Send this link to anyone you think would be interested in reading this entry.
