Yet for every such study being done, ideas from fellow collectors suggest at least five intriguing research ideas not being pursued. I believe there are three reasons for this. The first is, “I don’t know what questions to ask!” That may be true, but you do know what sparked your curiosity/ A short, informal conversation with any member of the IAP board can help clarify the kinds of analyses that could shed light on the mystery at hand. Some of the papers in this volume document authors’ first forays into technical work. No need to be embarrassed about asking questions – we are all learners. The second is, “I don’t know how to run any of the lab equipment, and won’t un- derstand the data produced!” Again, there is no cause for worry. At the National Postal Museum’s lab, you, the researcher, will be taught how to use the equipment, interpret the data, and draw conclusions from the results. The process is far easier than you might imagine. The third is, “I cannot afford to do this.” Cost will not be burdensome. Not only will your analyses at the National Postal Museum cost you nothing, but your travel and lodging expenses could be paid by an IAP research grant. The IAP exists solely to help you, so please jump in and enjoy the fun! John H. Barwis Institute of Analytical Philately, President July 15, 2016 It is my great pleasure to present the Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Analytical Methods in Philately, hosted by the Institute of Analytical Philately and Smithsonian National Postal Museum (NPM) on 17–18 November 2015, in Itasca, Illinois immediately prior to the Chicago Philatelic Society Stamp Exhibition. This second international symposium offered an opportunity for interested philatelists and scientists to get together, share their methodologies, highlight new technologies, provide long-term, wide-ranging benefits to all aspects of philately, and help set the course for future forensic analyses in the philatelic arena. Our close working relationship over the past six years with the Institute for Analytical Philately, Inc. was a huge plus for philatelists because the NPM allowed use state-of-the-art equipment for their advanced research efforts. The success of the symposium was due in large part to John Barwis, president, James Allen, director, and Thomas Lera, NPM Winton M. Blount Research Chair as well as the speakers and the more than 80 attendees. Special thanks go to James Allen who coor- dinated the two-day event. Without his efforts, the symposium would not have been as great a success. If you enjoy these papers as much as I hope you will, please continue to support the Institute for Analytical Philately, the National Postal Museum, and future symposia. Allen Kane Director, National Postal Museum • ix Preface he Institute for Analytical Philately, Inc. (IAP) was formed in 2010 as a phil- anthropic, nonprofit corporation dedicated to deepening the understanding of Tphilatelic materials through the use of scientific technology and publication of experimental results. The support IAP provides can be tailored to the needs of any philatelist, from those with no scientific background to those with advanced degrees in science or engineering. IAP grants typically range from $2,000 to $4,000 and are intended to help fund travel, lodging, and laboratory use. Additional funding may be available through cost sharing with alliance members, who can also provide advice on previous work done in a particular area or help to conceive and plan a research effort. Detailed information on grants can be found on page 141. Researchers may conduct their work anywhere they choose, but are encouraged to take advantage of the facilities and expertise available at IAP’s centers of excellence, like the state-of-the-art equipment and experienced advisors found available at the Center for Ink and Printability at Western Michigan University and at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. This book contains papers presented at the Second International Symposium on Analytical Methods in Philately, in Itasca, Illinois, November 17–18, 2015. Readers will find insights to research methods used across the entire spectrum of philatelic interests, from the composition and physical characteristics of paper, to the chemistry and mineralogy of printing ink, to determining the genuineness of stamps and overprints, to the uses of adhesives on cover. Some of these projects were funded in part by IAP. Some of the presenters have already had their research published and for those presentations abstracts and citations are included. The next international symposium is scheduled to be held in London on October 13–15, 2017. In the meantime, we encourage you to get involved in investigating phila- telic mysteries.

Barwis, FRPSL, FRPSV Thomas Lera, FRPSL Keynote Address: Retrospective of Technical Research in Philately Robert Odenweller We have gathered here for two days to discuss analytical inspection of philatelic material. A number of presentations will concentrate on techniques and procedures that have be- come available in recent years. It’s only natural to think advanced techniques are a recent discovery. Not so. 1910-1960 What was high tech in 1910? A couple of magnifying glasses, 3x and 10x preferably, a perf gauge, and watermark fluid. Later on, a UV lamp may have been added to the list (Fig. 1). But more than 100 years ago, a major innovator introduced a microscope he had expressly designed for examining stamps.

  • Minding the Body Interacting Socially Through Embodied Action
    Linköping Studies in Science and Technology Dissertation No. 1112 Minding the Body Interacting socially through embodied action by Jessica Lindblom Department of Computer and Information Science Linköpings universitet SE-581 83 Linköping, Sweden Linköping 2007 © Jessica Lindblom 2007 Cover designed by Christine Olsson ISBN 978-91-85831-48-7 ISSN 0345-7524 Printed by UniTryck, Linköping 2007 Abstract This dissertation clarifies the role and relevance of the body in social interaction and cognition from an embodied cognitive science perspective. Theories of embodied cognition have during the past two decades offered a radical shift in explanations of the human mind, from traditional computationalism which considers cognition in terms of internal symbolic representations and computational processes, to emphasizing the way cognition is shaped by the body and its sensorimotor interaction with the surrounding social and material world. This thesis develops a framework for the embodied nature of social interaction and cognition, which is based on an interdisciplinary approach that ranges historically in time and across different disciplines. It includes work in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, phenomenology, ethology, developmental psychology, neuroscience, social psychology, linguistics, communication, and gesture studies. The theoretical framework presents a thorough and integrated understanding that supports and explains the embodied nature of social interaction and cognition. It is argued that embodiment is the part and parcel of social interaction and cognition in the most general and specific ways, in which dynamically embodied actions themselves have meaning and agency. The framework is illustrated by empirical work that provides some detailed observational fieldwork on embodied actions captured in three different episodes of spontaneous social interaction in situ.

It is not even a week since Newmarket=s Guineas were played out in what seemed like a wintry grip, but already we have a new, red-hot Derby favourite. Sir Dragonet (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) forced his way past his Ballydoyle peers at a rain-hit Chester and now it is up to stablemate Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) to regain kudos with the blue riband on the horizon. Sadly, Lingfield=s Derby Trial no longer carries Group 3 status and there have been many moons since High-Rise (Ire), Kahyasi (Ire) and Slip Anchor (GB) won en route to Derby glory, but last year=s G2 Futurity S. winner is the classiest participant in this listed Classic pointer for some time.

  • Levy, Racing Foundation Agree on Support Package Cont
    SATURDAY, 18 APRIL 2020 LEVY, RACING DUNLOP REMEMBERED IN REGALLY BRED COLT By Emma Berry FOUNDATION AGREE ON Naming a horse in someone's memory can be a risky strategy but, for Juddmonte, naming a Galileo (Ire) colt after their late SUPPORT PACKAGE American trainer Bobby Frankel was certainly no drawback. Since the outstanding Frankel (GB) retired to stud, a number of his offspring have also been named after trainers of note. Atty Persse (Ire) took the name of the trainer of The Tetrarch (Ire) and became Frankel's first Royal Ascot winner in 2017. He was wearing the Godolphin silks by that time but he raced initially for his breeder, Bjorn Nielsen, whose love of racing history, and particularly the Derby, doubtless led to him naming another Frankel colt Ginistrelli (Ire). Edoardo Ginistrelli ranks alongside Arthur Budgett as one of only a few people to have bred, owned and trained a Derby winner. Ginistrelli's story is all the more unusual for the fact that his Derby winner was a filly, Signorinetta (GB), who followed up her 100/1 victory in 1908 by winning the Oaks just two days later. Cont. p2 The relief fund will benefit a wide range of British racing's workforce | Emma Berry The Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) and the Racing Foundation have announced an immediate ,22-million hardship funding package to support the British racing industry during the COVID-19 pandemic.
