As I’ve said before, while I’m not in any hurry to get out amongst the germy masses and expose the kids to COVID, I am looking forward to get out on some day trips and short breaks, once things are safe again. Before lockdown, my Mum and I were actually talking about getting us all away on holiday together and renting somewhere for us four, my Mum and Dad and my sister and her fiance.
One of the places I found while I was looking was The Green Door Holiday Cottage in Richmond, which is a luxury cottage in Yorkshire. Usually, we’d head for the south coast for family holidays to places like Cornwall and Devon, but the thought of taking our travels north actually really appeals to me. With this in mind, I started looking at some things to do, in and around Richmord, for when we eventually get to take our trip.
Richmond Castle is an English Heritage site, right in the heart of Richmond and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Dales. Even better, if you’re an English Heritage member, you and anyone included in your membership will get in for free, so you’ll be able to enjoy a lovely educational day out for very little outlay.
Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve
According to TripAdvisor, “Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve covers 100 acres of moorland edge adjacent to Cambrai Lines at Catterick and has a remarkable mix of habitats and species. The reserve contains semi-natural woodland, heathland, flower-rich grassland, streams, ponds, a lake, willow and Alder carr, coniferous woodlands and wet meadows. The patchwork of habitats across Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve is home to more than 2440 species. At the heart of the reserve is a modern, purpose-designed Field Centre, a great place to start your visit and learn more about the wildlife of Foxglove Covert.” Sounds like a wonderful place for a walk and a picnic!
The Forbidden Corner
The Forbidden Corner was originally a private folly. However, after popular demand, the site has been opened up to the public with four acres of all-out weird! Discover a unique labyrinth of pathways, tunnels, chambers and galleries throughout the woods. They’ll present a barrage of tricky challenges, including the occasional spray of water! Just keep your eyes peeled for the secret brass circles which reveal hidden markings and direct you on your mission. There’s also a lovely picnic area for when you need a break from the fantasy.

We traveled 160 miles today to see Grandma Jackie and Grandpa Jesse honored in their town parade. It was a lot of driving for a 35 minute parade (in the rain) but I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything in the world. They are amazing grandparents and they deserved the honor they received today. Was the rain crummy? Yes. Was the drive long? Yes. Was the parade unexciting? Pretty much, yes.But all of those things added to the experience and, most certainly, didn't bring anyone down.
It wasn't until I heard about my introduction to some family friends....as Chip's friend. Gross. I have never felt anything other than part of the family, until today. I understand that not everyone will accept my relationship with Chip, I don't expect everyone to at first. Many people have their many reasons for objecting and they have every personal right.But if people aren't introduced to us as a married couple, they don't have the opportunity to make that choice for themselves. In fact, should they come to be introduced to us properly, they'll already have a preconceived notion that our relationship isn't acceptable because someone predefined that notion for them.
I just had to get that off my chest. Arrrgg!

Lotteries are an important source of revenue for governments. They have been around for ages, and some of them are even as old as the American Revolution. George Washington conducted a lottery in the 1760s to help fund the construction of the Mountain Road in Virginia. Other famous people have run lotteries, including Benjamin Franklin, who was an early proponent of the concept. Even John Hancock, the founder of Boston, ran a lottery in 1755 to help rebuild Faneuil Hall. Lotteries have been used to fund many public works projects, including schools and colleges.
Several lotteries have partnered with companies and sports franchises to provide prizes. In the New Jersey lottery, for example, a winner of a scratch-off game will receive a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Moreover, many lottery companies have created brand-name promotions featuring famous celebrities, sports figures, or cartoon characters. These merchandising deals benefit both the lottery and the company.
Lottery prizes are usually large. A large prize will attract a large number of bettors. However, a small prize may not be enough to draw in enough people. In some states, the state or sponsor will donate a portion of the profits. It is believed that lotteries have existed in ancient times. In the Old Testament, Moses was instructed to take a census of the people of Israel, and Roman emperors were reported to have used lotteries to give out slaves and property. In the United States, lottery games were introduced by British colonists. However, ten states banned lotteries between 1844 and 1859.
Lotteries were common in the Netherlands as early as the 17th century. These lotteries raised funds for a variety of public projects. While they were initially criticized, they proved to be popular and were praised as a way of reducing taxation. In 1726, the oldest lottery was held in the Netherlands, known as the Staatsloterij. The Dutch word lottery means “fate”.

When People Surprise Me
Flipping the script on the narrative of life
I always love a good story. I enjoy hearing anecdotes from friends, elders, and even strangers. I frequently watch movies and television shows, and I’ll occasionally read a book if its plot and characters sound promising. One aspect of a narrative that never fails to captivate me is an unexpected twist — a point in the story when I believe I have everything figured out, and the storyteller goes ahead and completely flips the script on me.
I live for these moments. The sudden rush and excitement I feel while attempting to grasp what’s just happened is something I can only explain as GAHGUHBOOEY. As I try to understand why a specific character would take a specific action and do my best to make sense of it all, I often find myself questioning: “Would that person actually do that?”
In real life, it’s a bit different. When I think I have somebody pinned as predictable and that person flips the script on everything I thought I knew, I can’t question it. I can’t ask, “Would s/he actually do that?” That person did do that, and I’ll admit — sometimes, being proven wrong is just as good of a feeling as knowing I’m right. Even for those of us who cower at the thought of the unknown, this unpredictability breathes life into the most (seemingly) boring of people, characters, stories. Similarly, while a narrative may not need a twist to intrigue, entertain, or provoke thought, this element of unpredictability can bring a story to life.
Unpredictability fascinates me. Not being able to forecast the way situations will pan out is the reason I get myself into said situations in the first place. Sure, I can try to plan out my course of action in certain circumstances, but the script almost always gets rewritten mid-scene. And since life is so unforeseeable, we must be able to improvise and adapt to whatever it throws at us.
My best moments are when I act completely “out of character.” Unpredictability is an attractive quality to me. For the most part, I surround myself with people who can surprise me — people of whose tendencies I am well aware yet from whom I never quite know what to expect. Of course, everybody has their Classic [Your Name Here] moments. For example:
Oh, here he goes, writing about silly stuff again. Classic Ryan.
But, whether we choose to believe it or not, people have a knack for surprising us. And when we experience these instances of unpredictability, when we are caught in the riptide of life — an ocean of obscurity with everything we anticipate crashing with each wave — we must take a second to appreciate the unexpected, the abrupt calm of the water around us.
I live for these moments.

Do you remember the first time you came to New York City? I only sort of do. I was small, younger than five, and we ate pizza—I think. I remember being impressed, though, even then: by the people, the energy, and the buildings that seemed to touch the sky, like a jigsaw puzzle of man-made giant beanstalks.
Eddie Johnston, the prodigious New Zealand teen who makes lo-fi pop songs as Lontalius, had always dreamed about coming to New York; he told me so when we spoke over Skype for his GEN F profile in 2014. Last fall, that dream came true when he and his bandmates landed in the States to play a few shows, and we were lucky enough to spend some time with them on their inaugural visit.
In the video above, they play a sleepy new song called "Yr Heart Is Beating" on a Red Hook rooftop at dusk. The performance is mixed up with shots of the boys exploring the city, eyes wide and hearts full, drunk on that hard-to-describe feeling that comes a lot less often now that I live here full time. It usually only hits me when I'm walking around midtown and remember to look up.
Watch Lontalius perform "Yr Heart Is Beating" above, and listen to an official stream of the track below. His new album I'll Forget 17, named for a slightly modified Frank Ocean lyric, is out March 25 on Partisan.

WASHINGTON D.C., July 9, 2015 – The Voice of America hosted a panel discussion in Washington, D.C. marking the 20th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, Bosnia. The event, titled “Bosnia: 20 Years After Srebrenica,” examined events of that time both in historical terms and in the context of the country’s journey toward ethnic reconciliation, and economic and democratic development.
In the program’s opening remarks, VOA Acting Director Kelu Chao emphasized the importance of VOA broadcasting in the region saying: “Credibility is the biggest asset of VOA’s Bosnian Service. This is particularly important in countries such as Bosnia — a country deeply divided along ethnic lines and struggling to address the many challenges steaming from war in the 1990s.”
Bosnian Service Chief Dzeilana Pecanin Allison moderated the panel, composed of Stephen Rapp, U.S Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues, head of the Office of Global Criminal Justice at the U.S. Department of State; Kurt Volker, Executive Director of the McCain Institute for International Leadership and former Ambassador to NATO; and Professors Daniel Serwer of Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and (via Skype) Tanya Domi of Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.
Despite Russia’s veto Wednesday of a U.N. draft resolution that would have condemned the 1995 massacre as a “crime of genocide,” Ambassador Rapp emphasized, “This is not a subject to dispute. It has been legally established. Not just by the ICTY but also by the International Court of Justice.”
Ambassador Volker provided modern day context on the importance of discussing the Srebrenica massacre by comparing it with today’s conflicts in Ukraine and other regions, asking: “What is it about us that has changed with these events that we are not outraged and called to action today in these cases [Libya, Syria, and other war-torn countries] as we were, rightfully, in the case of Srebrenica? That’s an important question.”
In his remarks, Professor Serwer underlined the need for continuous Western engagement in Bosnia amid renewed calls for partition along ethnic lines. “When I see forces in Bosnia trying to erase the word genocide from its history, I see the continuing of the war-time struggle” he said. Professor Serwer thanked VOA for its continuous presence in Bosnia, “for all these years of devotion to what they do and do so well.”
Distinguished audience members at the event included the Ambassador of Albania to the U.S., Floreta Faber, and Ambassador of Montenegro to the U.S., Srdjan Darmanovic. Representing the Embassy of Kosovo was Counsellor Sami Kastrati. Counsellor Emin Cohodarevic represented the Embassy of Bosnia and First Counsellor Dusan Vujacic attended from the Embassy of Serbia.
VOA’s Bosnian Service has been a leading multimedia international broadcaster since 1996 in the target area, with a 17.4 percent weekly audience. The Service’s programming focuses on promoting peace and stability, ethnic reconciliation, regional cooperation and NATO/EU integration. This panel was part of VOA’s continuing efforts to serve as a forum for exchange of information and meaningful debate on important political, economic and social issues.
VOA reaches a global weekly audience of more than 172 million people in nearly 50 languages. VOA programs are delivered on satellite, cable, shortwave, FM, medium wave, streaming audio and video and more than 2,350 media outlets worldwide. It is funded by the U.S. Congress through the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

The Honest Lawyer caters its atmosphere around the social revelry that follows a long day’s work. While sipping more than a dozen types of martinis, patrons peruse a menu of stone-baked flatbreads, sirloin burgers, and chicken wraps, whetting their appetites with four variations of poutine, such as the Canadian—layers of double-smoked bacon pieces, green onions, and cheese curds covered in gravy. On the weekend, live bands and DJs fill the bar with music as guests challenge one another to games of foosball, darts, and air hockey to settle disputes over which Beatle was secretly bald.

The current study examined the effect of La 0.6 Sr 0.4 Co 0.2 Fe 0.8 O 3 (LSCF) and La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (LSM) coatings on the electrical properties and oxidation resistance of Crofer22 APU at 800 °C hot air. LSCF and LSM were coated on Crofer22 APU by screen printing and sintered over temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1100 °C in N 2 . The coated alloy was first checked for compositions, morphology and interface conditions and then treated in a simulated oxidizing environment at 800 °C for 200 h. After measuring the long-term electrical resistance, the area specific resistance (ASR) at 800 °C for the alloy coated with LSCF was less than its counterpart coated with LSM. This work used LSCF coating as a metallic interconnect to reduce working temperature for the solid oxide fuel cell.

I was visiting Amanda Jean’s blog, Crazy Mom Quilts, and noticed a little button to the right side of her blog…”Summer Stash Challenge”. So, I looked into it and it doesn’t look too intense and sounds like fun to join a group and complete a quilt. So, I think I’m in!
I have been working on my tiny studio and I’m really loving it. For the past few years I have been working with the idea that more is more, when really less is more! So, I’m getting rid of lots of stuff. Stamps, paint, old books I was going to use for collage and a lot of miscellaneous collage/paper craft stuff. It feels so good!
My husband has been working really hard on finishing up some projects on the house. I feel like I’ve got a new home!
I’ll get some pictures posted soon!

Ever since I wrote about serial podcasting I’ve seen references to the original story all over the web. (The original story was in the San Francisco Chronicle.)
* One author added some great twists of his own: Author J.C. Hutchins got actors and directors to record promotional clips into his recordings. Director George Romero (of zombie movie fame) recorded a clip after the author tracked him down at a fan convention. Hutchins has also invited his fans to contribute stories of their own based on a plot twist in one of his novels (a two-week nationwide blackout in the wake of a terrorist attack.) He’ll use some of the stories in a future podcast.
* The overwhelming experience for the authors quoted in these stories is that e-books and podcasts sell print books. You have to give content away in order to build demand for your work.
What fun ideas can you dream up for promoting your own book?


Low-Temperature Belt Dryer
Our dryer development team, industry consultants, and industrial experts researched current dryers on the market and identified key areas in low-temperature dryers that would benefit from improvement. The result is a simplified, operator-friendly, low-temperature belt dryer that maximizes uptime – all done in a smaller footprint.
The DLT is a simple, closed-loop, hot water heating system. The low-profile design integrates modular heat exchangers into the dryer system. Depending on the plant, the DLT can be designed with a dedicated hot water boiler for natural gas or biogas. The waste heat from pyrolysis or CHP cooling water can be used to offset energy requirements.
Problem: Typical low-temp dryer designs have heat recovery systems that are:
During cleaning, the entire dryer must stop operation to complete this maintenance task.
Solution: In the DLT’s heat recovery system, each module has an individual set of heat exchangers. If a single HEX within the module requires cleaning, the DLT system continues to dry sludge. The dirty HEX can be isolated, removed and replaced with a spare. It's a simple, one-person swap of the cartridge.

Almost all of us have driving licenses, but few of us can explain how a car’s engine works. We all see, but few of us realize how the human eye operates. So if we can’t understand how our own car or eyes function, how can we possibly understand the secrets of creation?
Rebbe Nachman of Breslev teaches that we must observe the wisdom that The Creator instilled in every creation, for by doing so, we connect to The Creator, for all wisdom comes from Him.
The Book of Genesis, in its description of creation, contains inner secrets of life which are subtly alluded to within each of its words. My beloved rabbi and spiritual guide Rabbi Shalom Arush has not merely written another elaboration of Torah, but has taken the light of Genesis, showing us how its inner messages can illuminate our daily lives. As such, The Garden of Knowledge is a guidebook to personal growth and spiritual well-being. No truth-seeker should be without this book. !!

I just completed a great read - provocative, stimulating, and fast moving. This is Dovber Halevi's new book, "Sex, Religion, and the Middle East."
This is a book on the positive effect of a sexually moral lifestyle by someone who transformed himself from a singles "player" to happily married man who now lives by teachings of "personal holiness." Dovber has been writing for Breslev Israel for the past three years. His book has personal stories, tons of history, and insights from Jewish Sages about the link between the safety of the Jewish People, our personal satisfaction in life, and our commitment to a sexually moral standard of conduct.
Dovber discusses how he hit rock bottom and what he needed to do in order to free himself from the chains of a cruel master. He illustrates the steps he took to clean himself up and reach heights in his life he never imagined possible. It was very insightful to discover how changes in pharmaceuticals, media, and culture – very recent changes, transformed the common attitude about sex from a special intimacy between husband and wife into an obsession that has entrapped our generation. It is inspiring to learn how this is also a pitfall that can be overcome.
Finally, he devotes an entire section to our guarding the covenant and the impact we make on events happening in the Middle East. This book is not judgmental. It starts with the conviction that we are all good people living in the most challenging times ever. It encourages us to rely on our strongest attributes to overcome lusts that are destroying everything we cherish most. We have it in our ability to elevate mankind to the next level and usher in an era of everlasting and eternal peace.
I highly recommend this book!
It's no rumor - it's true: there now a Universal Garden of Emuna, completely non-denominational, for all of mankind. If we want to save planet Earth of ours, then we should spread this book far and wide.
There's no bigger mitzva than spreading emuna in the world. We say thrice daily in the "Aleinu" prayer, that we await the day when all living flesh will call Hashem's Name. Let's invoke Divine compassion by hastening that day. You can use you maaser (tithe) money to buy these books and distribute them among your non-Jewish neighbors. One of the Arab judges in the Jerusalem Municipal Court read this book and told Rav Shalom that he should translate it into Arabic too. True emuna has the power to bring peace to mankind. There's no other solution.
In medicine, they say that a good prognosis is half the cure. The same principle holds true in finances. With that in mind, as soon as you lay your hands on your new copy of The Garden of Riches, half your financial woes will be over. This is a book with loads of advice that the best advisors on Wall Street won't be able to give you. With The Garden of Riches, you tap into the unlimited financial reserves - Hashem's.

Hiya everyone! ♡
I am back with another outfit post from when I was in England. After Brighton we travelled to Lyme Regis which is in West Dorset. It’s a tiny town which I don’t think is visited all that much. We wandered along the pebble beach to go find a pub for their famous fish and chips.
I am 100% obsessed with this grey, slit skirt that I got from an online store called OnTrend in South Africa. My friend came across the site and sent me there immediately. They have a very cool range of womenswear, menwear, jewellery, accessories and swimwear. They are based in Cape Town, but Julia happily helped me get my delivery to Durban. I love getting good customer service, and this most certainly ticked all the boxes!

Characterization of Cobalt-Substituted Ferrite Nanoparticles for Use in Sensors
Victoria L. Calero, University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, PO Box 9046, Mayaguez, PR 00680 and Carlos Rinaldi, Chemical Engineering, University of Puerto Rico Mayguez Campus, Mayaguez, PR 00680.
Cobalt-substituted ferrite nanoparticles with FCC structure have been synthesized using reverse micelles. Because the reverse micelles act as templates, we obtained nanoparticles with approximately ~3 nm diameter and a geometric deviation of ~0.2. Fe:Co ratios of 3:1, 4:1, and 5:1 were used in the synthesis, obtaining cobalt-substituted ferrites (CoxFe3-xO4). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) verified the presence of cobalt in all samples. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra show bands at ~560 and ~400 cm-1, confirming the metal-oxygen bond characteristic of ferrites. Despite the advantages posed by the reverse micelles, the method produces particles that are chemically bound to AOT. Bands observed at ~1725 cm-1, ~1459 cm-1, and ~1218 cm-1 were attributed to AOT-particle bond. A lattice parameter value of a=8.388Å was obtained by X-ray for Co0.61Fe0.39O4, which is near that of CoFe2O4(a=8.39Å). Magnetic measurements showed coercivities (Hc) higher than 8 kOe at 5K, whereas at 300K the particles showed superparamagnetic behavior. A rigorous analysis based on the Debye model for a magnetic dipole in an oscillating field was used to determine the anisotropy constant from AC susceptibility measurements. Assuming magnetic relaxation proceeds through the Néel mechanism, a relation between χ' and the temperature of the AC in-phase susceptibility curve peak was obtained. Using this relation, anisotropy constant values in the order of ~106 kerg/cm3 were determined, whereas anisotropy constants in the order of ~107 kerg/cm3 were calculated assuming Ωτ=1 at the temperature peak of the in-phase component of the susceptibility curve.

A Father Kills A Woman In UP For Turning Down His Daughter's Hand In Marriage!
A 55-year-old woman was shot at by a man in Fatehpur on Sunday night, after she refused to marry her son with latter's daughter, saying she was of ugly looks. Police said a widow, Rama Devi, lives with her son and niece in Khambapur locality under the limits of Sadar Kotwali police station of the district. The accused's daughter was engaged to one of Rama's sons and that she had refused the proposal saying that the girl was not good looking, and not a perfect match for her son, a few months ago.
The police said the woman was attacked while she was sleeping along with her teenage niece Deepika on roof top. "Rama Devi has identified the attacker as Parmatmadeen, who lives in Attarra area of Banda district," inspector Sadar Kotwali Raj Kumar Pandey told TOI. In her statement, Rama told the police that Parmatmadeen along with two others climbed atop the roof of her house at around 1 am on Monday with the help of a ladder. "Parmatmadeen allegedly pointed a pistol at her head and said that he would kill her if she refused to marry her son with his daughter," the officer added.
Rama, however, did not budge from her stand and refused the proposal and told Parmatma that he must instead look for some other boy. In a fit of rage, Parmatma opened fire on her leaving her critically injured. "Rama was injured by the pellets. She sustained injuries on her thigh and stomach," the officer said. The police said that the attackers also looted cash and valuable belongings from the house. Rama was rushed to Sadar hospital for treatment. The doctors stated her condition to be out of danger. A case of attempt to murder under Section 307, besides 394 of the Indian Penal Code was filed against Parmatmadeen and two others on the complaint of the victim at the Sadar Kotwali police station.
"Several police teams have been formed and rushed to nab the culprit at his native place in Banda district. Further investigations are underway," added another senior police officer.

Why Does My Car Exhaust Smell So Bad?
There are multiple potential reasons for a foul odor coming from your car exhaust. Some possible causes include a malfunctioning catalytic converter, burnt coolant, an issue with the oxygen sensor, a clogged fuel injector, or leaking seals.
Is the foul odor coming from the exhaust due to a fuel mixture issue?
If you notice a gas-like odor outside your car, it indicates that the air and fuel mixture in your vehicle is not properly balanced. This unpleasant smell is a result of the inaccurate mixture. The leading causes of this issue are typically attributed to faulty fuel injectors, an unreliable airflow sensor, or a defective air filter.
See also Why Does My Car Smell Like Vomit?
What does a leaking exhaust manifold smell like?
If your car's exhaust manifold is leaking, you may detect an odor of exhaust coming from the engine bay. Additionally, this type of leak can potentially lead to the entry of dangerous carbon monoxide fumes into the passenger compartment. Over time, the studs or bolts that secure the manifold to the cylinder head may weaken and become faulty, resulting in an exhaust leak.
Why do I smell blue tinted exhaust fumes?
If you detect unusual exhaust fumes within the cabin and observe the presence of blue-tinted smoke emanating from the vehicle's tailpipes, it is likely to be caused by the combustion of surplus engine oil as a result of outdated oil and an excessively used oil filter. Consequently, this combination leads to an excessive amount of exhaust being produced by the engine.
It is essential to understand why your vehicle is emitting smelly exhaust and how you can address this issue. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the topic, you can refer to the following article: "Why Your Car Has Smelly Exhaust & How To Fix" available on carfromjapan.com.
Can a bad muffler make a car run rich?
Experiencing an exhaust leak, such as a malfunctioning muffler, can result in fumes escaping beneath the vehicle and entering the cabin through the floor. Another possible cause for a vehicle emitting a gas-like odor is a faulty oxygen sensor, which can lead to an excessively rich fuel mixture. Another potential issue is a problem with the evaporative emissions system, where a broken or obstructed charcoal canister can cause fuel vapors to be released at inappropriate times.
Is the car running too rich, leading to an intense odor in the exhaust?
When evaluating the fuel-air mixture of an engine, several key indicators should be considered. Firstly, the presence of a potent gas odor in the exhaust suggests an excessive richness, indicating an overconsumption of fuel. Secondly, the emission of black smoke from the tailpipe, accompanied by a decrease in engine power, may signify an engine operating with an overly rich mixture.
How do you know if a car is running too rich?
An engine that is running too rich will emit a significant amount of noise and have a strong smell of gasoline in the exhaust. This is particularly noticeable when the engine is idling. Additionally, the rough idle will cause increased vibrations and erratic fluctuations in RPM. On the other hand, a car running lean will experience higher temperatures.
Understanding the difference between running rich and running lean in engines. (source: autoquarterly.com)
What does it mean if a car exhaust has too much co?
When car exhaust contains a higher amount of carbon monoxide (CO) than usual, it is likely an indication that the car is running rich.
Running rich refers to a condition where excessive fuel is entering the engine cylinders, resulting in the accumulation of carbon deposits and potential engine damage.
This can occur when there are restrictions in the air intake passages and vacuum lines, which affects the fuel-to-air mixture in the engine.
In addition, fouled spark plugs can also be a symptom of a car running rich.
Why does my car smell so bad?
The smell that you are experiencing is primarily caused by uncombusted fuel. It is important to note that running rich is a consequence of a malfunctioning combustion process, allowing extra fuel to escape into the exhaust system. Typically, catalytic converters are responsible for containing and reducing the odorous emissions.
Why Do Some Cars Have Really Smelly Exhaust Fumes?
Experiencing a gasoline smell from the exhaust indicates an imbalance in the engine's air/fuel mixture, where an excess of fuel is being added with insufficient oxygen. It is recommended to promptly diagnose the issue if you detect such odors emanating from your exhaust.
If you observe any of these distinctive smells from your vehicle's exhaust, it is advisable to seek professional assistance and have the problem addressed promptly.
Has the car's air-fuel ratio deviated from the optimal range, leading to the strong smell in the exhaust?
Air fuel ratios between 10.5-12.5:1 are commonly regarded as optimal for achieving maximum reliability and power in engines, although the specific ratio may vary depending on the engine. When the air fuel ratio exceeds 10.5:1, it can result in visible black smoke emission from the exhaust.

What is the ideal air-fuel ratio?
This article discusses an air-fuel ratio chart that showcases how different mixtures impact engine performance and vehicle emissions. Ideally, gasoline engines should run on a precise air-fuel mixture consisting of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel.
The article also explores the concept of a good air-fuel ratio, emphasizing the importance of achieving the ideal ratio for optimal engine functioning and emissions control. To provide visual aid, the article includes a chart illustrating various air-fuel ratios and their corresponding effects on engine performance and emissions.
By understanding the significance of air-fuel ratios and striving for an appropriate mixture, vehicle owners can ensure optimal engine operation and reduce harmful emissions.
How does an air-fuel ratio affect a car's performance?
The air-fuel mixture is compressed by pistons within the engine and subsequently ignited by spark plugs, resulting in a sequence of controlled explosions that generate the necessary energy for vehicle propulsion.
An improperly balanced air-fuel ratio can lead to incomplete combustion and, as a result, cause the engine to misfire and operate inefficiently.
In order to achieve optimal performance, it is essential to maintain a suitable air-fuel ratio.
What is a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio?
A stoichiometric air-fuel ratio ensures that all the oxygen and fuel are completely burned during combustion, leading to the emission of only water and carbon dioxide from the tailpipe of a vehicle. The scientifically calculated stoichiometric ratio is 14.7:1, however, in practice, the actual ratio can vary depending on the molecular composition of the gasoline used.
Having a good air-fuel ratio is crucial for optimal engine performance and emissions control. By maintaining the proper ratio, the engine can operate efficiently and minimize harmful pollutants. A detailed chart outlining the ideal air-fuel ratios for different vehicle conditions can be found on the "In The Garage with CarParts.com" blog.
Why does an engine burn an incorrect air-fuel ratio?
The air-fuel ratio in an engine can vary depending on the demand placed on the engine.
However, there are situations where the engine may burn an incorrect air-fuel ratio due to faulty vehicle components.
An example of this is when there is less air than the optimal ratio, which is referred to as a 'rich' air-fuel ratio.
Could a faulty EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve be contributing to the foul odor in the car's exhaust?
Some symptoms of a faulty EGR valve include rough idling or stalling, a smell of fuel, increased fuel consumption, pinging, tapping, or knocking sounds, and failed smog tests.
A clogged EGR valve can also cause a strong gasoline smell in the vehicle and reduce fuel or diesel efficiency.
Check also Why Does My Car Smell Like Antifreeze?
What are the symptoms of a bad EGR valve?
When there is a problem with the EGR valve, it can disrupt the flow and functioning of the EGR system, resulting in higher emissions and performance problems. In most cases, a malfunctioning EGR valve will exhibit certain symptoms that can indicate a possible issue to the driver.
These symptoms, which are indicative of a bad or failing Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve, include increased emissions and performance issues.
What is an EGR valve on a car?
Modern gas-powered vehicles, as well as most diesel applications, address the issue of NOx emissions through the use of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. The EGR valve serves as a key component of this system. However, like any other automotive part, the EGR valve is subject to potential failure over time.
When the EGR valve malfunctions, there are several common symptoms that may be observed. In order to accurately diagnose the issue, a specific testing procedure can be followed.
Can a stuck-open EGR valve cause an increase in hydrocarbon emissions?
An increase in hydrocarbon emissions is not solely attributed to a stuck-open EGR valve. Other potential causes for this symptom include various issues within different systems, such as a leaking fuel injector, improper ignition timing, insufficient cylinder compression, malfunctioning oxygen sensor, and other related problems.
If you are experiencing symptoms related to the EGR valve, it is important to troubleshoot and diagnose the root cause accurately. This will help you address the issue effectively and minimize the impact on hydrocarbon emissions.
Is there a chance that the car's engine is burning oil, resulting in the unpleasant smell in the exhaust?
When there is an oil leak and the leaked oil comes into contact with the exhaust or other hot components, it is common to smell burning oil before observing any smoke. Additionally, there may be blueish smoke coming from the exhaust while the engine is running. If this occurs during acceleration, it is possible that the piston rings are damaged.
In many cases, the oil that leaks from a car will land on the engine block or exhaust manifold, resulting in a burning oil smell that permeates both the interior and exterior air of the vehicle. If the engine is not internally burning oil, there is a chance that the oil could be burning externally. This happens when oil leaks onto the exhaust manifold, turbo, or exhaust system.
Signs indicating that your car is burning oil include: blue smoke from the exhaust, which suggests oil burning during the combustion cycle, and a strong smell of burning oil, indicating that oil is seeping onto hot engine parts.
Check also Why Do I Smell Fuel in My Car?
What does a burning engine smell like?
The color of the smoke emitted by a car can vary depending on the type of oil being burned and the condition of the engine. It can be white, blue, or gray.
If you detect a burning smell coming from the engine, it could be a sign that the engine is burning oil. This smell might be more noticeable during the car's initial start-up or when it is driven aggressively.
What Does It Mean When My Car Is "Burning" Oil?
A potential reason for your car smelling like oil could be due to worn parts that fail to create a proper seal around the oil. This can result in oil leaking out and coming into contact with the hot engine components. Additionally, it is important to note that a burning oil smell may also be emitted from the exhaust system.
What causes an oil-burning car?
There are various common causes for a car burning oil. These causes may include engine components that have become worn or damaged, such as piston rings or valve seals, allowing oil to escape into the combustion chamber. Other possible causes could be an overfilled oil level, leaks in the engine or system, or issues with the oil pump.
If you are experiencing this issue, there are several potential solutions available to you in order to address the problem of your car burning oil.
What happens if your engine burns oil?
An engine that burns oil has several disadvantages. Inadequate oil levels can directly result in engine failure. Having excessive oil in the exhaust can damage the catalytic converter, which is a costly component to replace if not covered by warranty. Additionally, this issue can lead to a loss of power and reduced fuel efficiency, and your vehicle may fail its emissions test.
Are there any indications of a blocked or damaged muffler that could be causing the bad smell in the car's exhaust?
There are several signs that indicate a failing or damaged exhaust or muffler. One such sign is a loud or grinding exhaust, which suggests that the muffler is likely failing and needs to be replaced or repaired.
Additionally, if the exhaust smells like gasoline, it can be a sign of a faulty or damaged exhaust system. Another indication of a problem is poor fuel economy. If you notice that your vehicle is consuming more fuel than usual, it may be due to an issue with the exhaust.
Furthermore, if there is an unpleasant odor coming from the exhaust, it could be an indication of a problem. Lastly, if the exhaust sounds like a flushing toilet, it is a clear indication of a malfunctioning exhaust system that requires attention.

What are the symptoms of bad mufflers?
In the following paragraphs, we have provided an outline of the symptoms commonly associated with bad mufflers. One of the symptoms indicating an exhaust leak is the presence of a loud noise emitting from the exhaust. It is important to note that this particular issue is more frequently observed in the exhaust mufflers rather than other components of the exhaust system that are situated nearer to the engine. It is essential to keep in mind that the purpose behind the design of exhaust systems in automobiles is to effectively and efficiently expel waste exhaust gas from the vehicle.
The symptoms associated with a faulty muffler serve as warning signs for potential exhaust system failure. It is advisable to pay attention to these indications to prevent further issues.
What does a muffler do in a car?
In the context of an exhaust system, a muffler serves two primary functions: dampening the sound of the engine and reducing noise levels. When a muffler fails or becomes damaged, it can lead to various issues that negatively impact the overall functionality of a vehicle.
There are certain indications that can warn you of a malfunctioning muffler and potential exhaust system failure.
Can a muffler leak cause a loud exhaust?
Exhaust leaks may occur before the muffler, however, the primary cause of loud exhaust is usually a leak in the muffler itself. A professional mechanic will be required to examine and resolve this problem.
You may experience symptoms of a bad or failing muffler, and it is advisable to seek advice from YourMechanic for further guidance.
Why is my muffler clogged?
A muffler can become clogged if its internal baffles deteriorate or if the catalytic converter disintegrates, leading to contamination of the exhaust system. In any of these situations, there may be excessive exhaust backpressure. Clogging of a muffler can also occur if the walls collapse due to impact damage.
Some signs or symptoms of a clogged muffler include reduced engine performance, a decrease in fuel efficiency, and a louder-than-usual exhaust noise. Additionally, you may notice a decrease in overall power when accelerating or difficulties with the vehicle's acceleration. If you experience any of these issues, it is advisable to have your muffler checked by a professional.

Today, if the world hasn’t ended, marks one year since my family packed up and drove away from Lampeter. We pulled out of the driveway before dawn. We watched the sun rise on the incomparable Teifi Valley. Our car was headed for Cornwall to spend Christmas with friends before heading back to the United States. (I linked to my last real post in Wales over on today’s A Sense of Place.)
I find Washington to be far more wild than Wales. It makes sense: it’s not been as cultivated for as long as Wales has. The mountains are taller and there are more things that can kill you here. But the magic in the Welsh land hovers so close to the surface. The magic in Washington is more embedded in the tangled weeds and thorns. Maybe it’s hiding out, away from the freeways and masses of people. Most of Wales is comparably less populated. There is more space between people there.
Tonight I’m hosting a small gathering to celebrate the return of the light, and I’ll raise a glass to Wales and my friends there. I’ll leave an offering for the Fey and spirits of the Land of here. They’ll get the first serving of the mulled wine and spiced cider I like to make. Most importantly I’ll get to celebrate the long night and the slow growth of the light with the people I love most in the world.
May you be with ones you love this season. There is nothing more important.

The story of the Workers' Film and Photo League has been called one of the great missing chapters of U.S. film history: "great" because the League was one of the first opposition-cinema movements in the nation; "missing" because its platoons of leftist filmmakers disbanded after barely five years of work, and few of their films survive. William Alexander and Russell Campbell's recent scholarship has initiated the recovery of this lost chapter.[open notes in new window] Their research concentrates on the League's films and filmmakers. In contrast, I am more interested in learning who actually saw these productions. I believe a nuts-and-bolts account of the League's exhibition and, to an extent, distribution practices, will reveal the link between the films and their intended audiences.
In the 1930's many of the U.S. left considered the news media as establishment tools which served only to minimize the depression's ravages, ignore the country's problems, and to thwart solutions. New Masses, The Daily Worker, and a host of arts-oriented periodicals led by Workers' Theatre attempted to correct the imbalance in the information given by the news. Similarly, the Workers' Film and Photo League sought to offer the public a clear alternative to the newsreels produced by Fox Movietone, the Hearst organization, and Pathé News. (A producer with two of these commercial outfits responded to left criticism by asserting that it was "none of the movie industry's business or responsibility to deal with the ugly facts."
The League became frustrated with Hollywood's control of film distribution and resented Hollywood's hold over theatre owners. Out of necessity it pioneered non-theatrical distribution; in particular, it resorted to road-showings. However, advertisements for League film programs in the left press suggest that in order to attract audiences, this oppositional cinema movement had to imitate a number of mainstream distribution and exhibition practices. Between 1931 and 1936 the League achieved some success with its exhibition tactics, but it never enjoyed the stability nor inspired the popularity that its members sought.
The Film and Photo League's parent organization was the Workers' International Relief, a proletariat assistance group founded by the Communist International in 1921. The W.I.R. used film programs to raise money for victims of economic oppression, fostered the growth of workers' cineclubs in Europe, and capitalized Mezhrabpom Studios in the Soviet Union. The W.I.R. found that documentary and fiction films were effective devices for drawing crowds and building solidarity among the world's workers. During the Twenties the W.I.R.'s William Kruse toured the United States with five documentaries he had either shot or compiled as a result of trips to Germany and the Soviet Union.
The organization made two films, PASSAIC TEXTILE STRIKE and GASTONIA, which documented labor actions in this country, and by the end of the decade had begun building a library of Soviet features for distribution here. In December, 1930, the W.I.R. established the Workers' Film and Photo League. Among its first members were Harry Alan Potamkin, Sam Brody, Leo Hurwitz, Leo Seltzer, and Tom Brandon. Based initially at the New York, West 28th Street offices of the W.I.R., the League took charge of maintaining the prints from the collection of Soviet films and producing photographs and films to document the depression. The W.I.R. provided film stock and some equipment, and it was understood that the initial audience for the films would be Communist Party locals and sympathetic workers' organizations around the country. The Washington, D.C. Hunger March, Bonus March, and May Day demonstrations of 1931 gave the League ample material with which to begin a series called WORKERS' NEWSREEL and eventually compile the feature film, HUNGER.
Within a year of the New York group's formation, other Film and Photo League chapters had been established in Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. In addition to sponsoring screenings of Soviet productions and occasional films of their own, these provincial branches contributed footage to WORKERS' NEWSREEL, held photo exhibits, organized symposia on the present state of mass media, and held dances and other fund-raising events. For example, in March, 1932, the new Los Angeles chapter invited the public to attend a gala which featured such celebrities as Margaret Bourke-White, Langston Hughes, and King Vidor. It was a kick-off event with a 35-cent admission charge and included speeches and dancing. Two years later the Los Angeles chapter sponsored a similar event at which it was announced that Slavko Vorkapich had offered to participate in League film production. There is no evidence that Vidor or Vorkapich ever actually participated in League production, although the Los Angeles chapter itself was responsible for at least three short documentaries between 1932 and 1934.
During the Film and Photo League's brief life, the New York chapter functioned as the W.I.R.'s center of national film activity. Many film programs, whether they consisted purely of Soviet productions or contained league films, were packaged and distributed, after the spring of 1931,
The life history of a typical New York Film and Photo League production went something like this: first, an executive committee would dispatch a film crew to some national trouble spot where they would have a fair chance of filming demonstrations. Once there, the film crew shot its footage, and if they had access to the necessary facilities nearby, they would screen the rushes on site for the benefit of the demonstrators. Leo Seltzer claims this was a tremendous morale booster. Next, the film would be sent back to New York where it would most likely be edited into an installment of WORKERS' NEWSREEL or the AMERICAN TODAY SERIES. Then the episode would become part of a traveling program headlined by a major Soviet feature. That program would either be road-showed across the country or booked by interested theatres, regional League chapters, or miscellaneous workers' clubs. Finally, when the events depicted in a given newsreel installment were no longer current, the footage would become part of a compilation feature film organized around a general theme. (HUNGER and PORTRAIT OF AMERICA are exemplary productions). To include League films in a package or program was the best way to ensure that audiences would see them.
Occasionally League members were able to persuade mainstream exhibitors to slip a League newsreel into whatever Hollywood program they might be running. One League installment ran for at least three days in mid-1934 at the Rialto in New York, but such instances were exceptional. Most exhibitors contracted with large newsreel companies and there were no real openings for installments from outsiders. Moreover, the Film and Photo League output was sporadic and could not be easily squeezed onto schedules which were the products of extended block-booking.
The Film and Photo League program established these programs as a vehicle with which to circumvent Hollywood's dominion. However, this program was modeled after the typical format of Hollywood theatrical distribution, which consisted of a live act, cartoon, newsreel, and feature film. The League's "live act" would be a speaker, someone such as Ed Royce from the Daily Worker, who traveled with the film 1905 for two months in 1933. League member Tom Brandon frequently gave a talk, "Hollywood Today," to introduce League screenings at exhibition sites within a one hundred mile radius of New York City in 1932. At other times lawyers from the International Labor Defender group spoke. In every instance the orator stumped for the cause to a crowd that had come to see movies.
Based on their titles, the speeches seemed tailored to popular interest. They did not sound politically narrow, exclusive, or intimidating. Judging from the ads, cartoons were big drawing cards. W.I.R. programs from 1930 occasionally used Chaplin shorts to kick off the film portion of the program, but with the advent of respectable 16mm sound equipment, the League's ads began to sport the phrase "includes latest Soviet sound cartoon" in type nearly as prominent as the feature's title. The specific titles of the cartoons do not appear. Next on the bill was the newsreel: the one or two reels of film actually produced by the League. Between 1931 and 1934 at least 16 episodes of WORKERS' NEWSREEL were made. Viewers of a League program would have seen episodes with such titles as TOM MOONEY DEMONSTRATION, ALBANY HUNGER MARCH, and RENT STRIKES. The League did not build each program around one of its newsreels, though.
The demand for programs was higher than League production could match. Regular exhibitors such as New York's Acme or Cameo Theatres changed their bills weekly, and sometimes semi-weekly. The League therefore borrowed from the W.I.R.'s reserve of Soviet newsreels. The October, 1932, run of a film entitled THE FORTY-FIRST at the 28th and Broadway Theatre, Manhattan, included a League production referred to as a "special." A year later that Soviet feature had toured the country and was back in New York at the Acme, along with "the latest Soviet and American newsreels." The program was again constructed around the Soviet feature.
TEN DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD, ROAD TO LIFE, and CHINA EXPRESS received the most exposure of any features on League circuits between 1931 and 1934. At least two prints of these films circulated in the country after 1933, as evidenced by several simultaneous playdates. The features represented the best of Soviet drama. Eisenstein and Pudovkin's names were often placed above the titles. Promotions often included descriptive phrases which emphasized the films' stature as well as entertainment value. Entertainment was, after all, what the program's model attempted to exploit.
The packaged Film and Photo League programs emanated from the New York offices. Tom Brandon made the New York chapter the center of distribution for the national League. Regional chapters would swap footage among themselves, but paid a flat rate of $1.50 per reel for New York chapter footage. Brandon could charge because the New York chapter had the greatest quantity and the most sought-after newsreel footage of any of the chapters. The regional chapters were dependent on the New York branch. This is at least partially due to the fact that the New York group planted the seeds that formed the regional Film and Photo Leagues. By sending a film program on tour, the League was able to stimulate interest in as well as demand for more programs.
The national tour of a program headlined by CANONS OR TRACTORS may have even bolstered party membership in sections of the Midwest. Shortly after reports of unexpectedly high turnouts for the film in Minnesota and northern Michigan, there came the announcement that a Minneapolis Photo League was forming. Later progress reports in the Daily Worker indicate that the new group had begun photo production and was trying to raise money for film equipment. There is no evidence that this chapter ever began film production, but in the summer of 1932 the Minneapolis chapter became the latest Film and Photo League exhibitor. Whenever it held membership drives or fundraising affairs, it was able to turn to the New York office for the latest available Soviet feature and workers' film program. Unlike the League, the commercial film industry was long past road-showing to build audiences. However, both enterprises had the same city as the hub of their activity.
League exhibition sites fall into three categories. Theatrical precursors of what we call "art houses" for a time provided the steadiest showcases; they tended to get first crack at each of the latest Soviet features as it became available. Second, some screening facilities alternated League programs with other, often unrelated, non-film programs. Some of these were playhouses; some were public auditoriums; others were ethnic workers' halls with a good deal of space to rent. The third group of exhibition sites were smaller labor temples and workers' clubs — meeting halls that could not accommodate large audiences and which tended to get Soviet features only after they had been screened at more spacious facilities in the same city.
Hollywood organized its exhibitors into a first-run, second-run, third-run hierarchy. The Film and Photo League was not in a position to do the same, but out of necessity it did establish its own hierarchy. It only had a limited number of prints that could circulate at a given time, and certain screening places were more comfortable and conducive to film viewing than others. If the League gave priority to the Art Cinema Theatre in Cleveland, the Punch and Judy Theatre in Chicago, or the Acme Theatre in New York, it was because those places had permanent projection equipment and could even accommodate 35mm sound films. Art houses drew regular, if not proletarian, audiences. These theatres catered to those interested in European films. While Soviet features such as ARSENAL and THE END OF ST. PETERSBURG were their mainstay between 1931 and 1934, they offered films of Murnau and Dreyer, too. The Acme Theatre's ads in the Daily Worker billed the place as "The Workers' Acme Theatre," whereas its ads in the establishment press simply called it "The Acme."
The group responsible for programming at the Acme and Cameo theatres in Manhattan was Symon Gould's Film Arts Guild, an organization more interested in alternative aesthetics than alternative politics. When League programs premiered at these theatres, it was usually without the benefit of a flesh-and-blood orator. Gould's group was so interested in League newsreels, though, that the Acme and Cameo would advance $25 to $50 to the League to ensure the availability of its next newsreel offering. Other art houses were less loyal to the League but took advantage of its collection of Soviet features and its connections with Mezhrabpom Studios. For instance, the Philkino Theatre in Philadelphia, despite any implied convictions in its name, had no qualms about running a Film and Photo League program one week and a film denounced by the League the next. It ran ROAD TO LIFE and the latest American newsreels on September 30, 1933, and by October 3 its bill changed to include THUNDER OVER MEXICO, the reworking of Eisenstein material which the League ideologues considered butchery.
The art theatre audience was not as politically focused as were audiences at the League's other exhibition sites. Among "sometimes" exhibitors was the Franklin Theatre in New York, which ran League programs between engagements of legitimate stage productions. The League seems to have had a number of these "sometimes showcases" across the country, ranging from New York's Stuyvesant Casino with its "ten large halls, ideal for banquets, weddings, bar mitzvahs, meetings, and conventions," to the People's Auditorium in Chicago, and the hall in Los Angeles which the local League chapter rented for its May Day galas. While art houses often premiered new Soviet features in the major cities, the League favored the second kind of site for road shows. These places attracted audiences less reticent about having political speakers precede an evenings's entertainment than art house patrons would have been. The places' very names (e.g., Liberty Hall, Czechoslovakian Workers House Incorporated) might shape audience expectations.
The third kind of showcases were used by road-show productions when larger facilities were unavailable. These smaller meeting halls were not continually booked for various programming. They did not attempt to accommodate conventions; rather they provided regular meeting places for Communist Party and labor locals, which could be adapted for screenings if necessary. The Ukranian Home and Lithuanian Hall in Chicago, and the Romanian Hall in nearby Gary may have been exemplary. I do not know how big they were, but whenever they offered film programs, the features were those which had already played at People's Auditorium.
Unlike Hollywood's first-run, second-run, third-run hierarchy, the League's informal divisions did not have a difference in admission prices. During the first half of the Thirties, exhibitors of League programs charged between 15-cents and 35-cents for admission. The Acme consistently charged
This probably happened because theatres like the Acme changed their bills as attendance warranted it. They wanted patrons to return once or twice each week and used a low price as enticement. The typical worker's hall may have gotten a big film program only once or twice a year, and the admission it charged often benefited some cause. In contrast to Hollywood exhibition practice, the relation between art house and meeting hall screenings was almost the inverse of that between picture palace and rural movie house.
I mentioned that League members denounced certain films. The League was often involved in demonstrations and picketed theatres which featured pro-Nazi films. Other members felt that overemphasizing protesting slighted the League's primary function. By the mid-Thirties this schism contributed to the New York group's demise. Leo Hurwitz, Ralph Steiner, and Irving Lerner broke away to form the production group, Nykino; Seltzer defected to the W.P.A.; and the still photographers struck out on their own as well. After 1934 Tom Brandon devoted all his attention to his newly formed Garrison Films distributing company. Garrison maintained advertisements in the leftist press but also promoted various Hollywood titles such as THE INVISIBLE MAN along with a collection of Polish comedies and Soviet dramas. After the W.LR. collapsed in 1935, the New York Film and Photo League cosponsored some productions with Nykino and other groups during the next two years. However, the League was effectively out of business by 1937.
Gilbert Seldes wrote that a documentary could consider itself a success if it could "force exhibitors to go outside their commercial contracts" in order to show it. The Film and Photo League could never really count on being able to do this. Instead, it established a complementary outlet for its product. During the first half of the Thirties, residents of this country's major cities could see perhaps a different Soviet feature each month. Residents of many smaller cities which contained a Communist Party local or a group of people interested in starting one could perhaps encounter a Soviet feature once or twice per year. In either case, the viewer stood a fair chance of seeing a League newsreel on the program.
The story of the Film and Photo League movement hinges on the rise and fall of the New York chapter. Certainly that branch served as a center, and existing research has solidified this reputation. What remains to be documented is the League activity that transpired outside of New York. When provincial chapters grew up, they aspired to do production, yet while the Detroit, Chicago, and Los Angeles branches did make a handful of films, that was not the case with the Boston, Minneapolis, Washington D.C., or Laredo, Texas groups. The most significant activity of the regional chapters lay in their role as components of a loosely-formed distribution network, and in their members' efforts to approach theatres, rent facilities, and create new sites for exhibition.

14. Since so few of the films survive and because they were often known by different titles, it is difficult to make this claim with certainty. Alexander (p. 28) and Campbell (p. 79), for example, give slightly different accounts of the status of HUNGER. However, on the basis of the previously cited interviews with Brandon, Brady, Selzer, and David Plait's comments in JUMP CUT 16 (Nov. 1977), p. 37, there does seem to have been a trend toward longer films and giving old footage new life via editing.

Eisenstein's is similarly pronounced except in connection with some ads of TEN DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD, the re-edited, sound-tracked version of OCTOBER.

28. There were exceptions to this resulting from the huge appetite of the art houses. Places such as New York's Acme and St. Mark's Theatres, and the Film Art in Los Angeles regularly resorted to the "back by popular demand" tactic. Favorites such as ROAD TO LIFE often played the art houses alter having made appearances at workers' locals in the same city.
29. Sometime in 1932 it became apparent to the League that any hopes of building a successful distribution circuit depended on the ability of non-theatrical exhibitors to accommodate sound films. Alexander implies that problems relating to sound contributed to the League's collapse (pp. 42-43).

People's Auditorium was frequently used for CP-backed programs between 1929 and 1935, some of which involved film, others involved dancing (Daily Worker, Sept. 28, 1933, p. 5); and judging from references in the Daily Worker on March 15, 1932, p. 2, and July 25, p. 5, the Los Angeles location was somewhere other than the chapter hall.

37. It is impossible to know for certain exactly how different facilities compared on the basis of the ads alone, but it is revealing that People's Auditorium boasted of at least 19 separate film programs between 1929 and 1935 while the Lithuanian Hall and the Ukranian Home are only mentioned with films on the handful of occasions that road shows passed through Chicago.
