FEBRUARY 2022

​

Welcome! February begins the Year of the Tiger, and it's the month of St. Valentine's Day, so love the tiger! I'm taking a Creative Living Retreat (remotely) this month with my (mainly) American friends, and I'll plan out the next year of living creatively. Thanks to my family, friends, and associates who have supported me creatively, as well as personally and professionally, for many years.

THE PARIS RESIDENCES OF JAMES JOYCE

​

The blogs on my website The Paris Residences of James Joyce are under the category Opal Hush, connecting the past to the present, and discovering people and places in Paris.

Opal Hush is mentioned in James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses. 

It's a drink - a quarter of glass of claret topped with lemonade from a soda siphon.

Apes go to the movies - and remember the scenes

Apes remember major events in movies, even after a single viewing. That’s the findings of primate research in Japan (New Scientist, September 17, 2015). Researchers at the Kyoto University in Japan conducted experiments with two species of apes – chimpanzees and bonobo primates – to test their memory and recall. Instead of using food to test memory, they used films. The researchers made two short movies to show to the apes. Fumihiro Kano and his colleague, Satoshi Hirata, starred in the films with another person dressed as an ape. They wanted to have strong dramatic scenes to see if the apes remembered them.

The acacia thorn trees of Kenya

There are nearly 800 species of acacia trees in the world, and most don’t have thorns. The famous "whistling thorn tree" and the Umbrella Thorn tree of Kenya are species of acacia that do have thorns, or spines. Giraffes and other herbivores normally eat thorny acacia foliage, but leave the whistling thorn alone. Usually spines are no deterrent to giraffes. Their long tongues are adapted to strip the leaves from the branches despite the thorns. The thorny acacia like dry and hot conditions. The thorns typically occur in pairs and are 5-8 centimetres (2-3 inches) long. Spines can be straight or curved depending on the species.
