     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon July Hay Moon Buck Moon Thunder Moon, Mead Moon Guru Poornima Folklore ======= Full Moons are traditionally associated with temporal insomnia, insanity (hence the terms lunacy and lunatic) and various "magical phenomena" such as lycanthropy. Psychologists, however, have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon. They find that studies are generally not consistent, with some showing a positive effect and others showing a negative effect. In one instance, the December 23, 2000 issue of the British Medical Journal published two studies on dog bite admission to hospitals in England and Australia. The study of the Bradford Royal Infirmary found that dog bites were twice as common during a full moon, whereas the study conducted by the public hospitals in Australia found that they were less likely. Many neopagans hold a monthly ritual called an Esbat at each full moon, while so

     May 5, 2008 is the 60th anniversary of the designation of this date as "Boys' Day" in Japan. The kite traditions are fascinating. There is some disgruntlement that, despite its renaming, it is still <b>Boys' Day</b> and it is inappropriate that Boys' Day is a national holiday, while Girls' Day is not. [March 3rd is "Girls' Day"

     Who is Jane Jacobs? Edit Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) was an urbanist and activist whose writings championed a fresh, community-based approach to understanding, organizing, designing, and building cities. She had no formal training as a planner, and yet her 1961 best-seller, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, and her later books introduced ground-breaking ideas about how cities function, evolve, and succeed or fail that now seem like common sense to today’s architects, planners, politicians, and activists. Jacobs saw cities as ecosystems with their own dynamics that would evolve over time according to how they were used. With a keen eye for detail, she wrote eloquently about sidewalks, parks, retail design, and self-organization. She promoted higher density, short blocks, local economies, and mixed uses. Jacobs helped derail the car-centred approach to urban planning in both New York City and Toronto, invigorating neighbourhood activism by helping stop the expansion of expr
