by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Authors program note. You cannot pick up a newspaper this week, or turn on the television... or even snatch a glance at your SmartFone without seeing the single word "Titanic" for this is the centennial not merely of a ship, albeit the grandest on earth, but of an entire cottage industry and of people worldwide who cannot get enough of the ship once called --- without irony -- "Ship of Dreams", "Last Word in Luxury," and "Millionaire's Special."
... But that was before she struck an iceberg and became a thing not only of history but of imagination, fascination, persistence... the most famous ship of all the ships which have ever sailed the world's broad seas.
The facts.
11:40 pm April 14, 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg.
12:07 am April 15, 1912 RMS Titanic sank, taking with her 1500 passengers and crew.
Ships of every kind had sunk before in human history; even ships on their maiden voyage, like Titanic. Passengers and crew had gone down with these ships before. Why then has Titanic seized us so, so that even the smallest detail of this ship and her catastrophic end is grasped with enthusiasm, avidity, and reverence?
To answer this question, we must start with the undeniable facts about this great engine of human ingenuity, human craft... and, as it happened, human hubris and human ineptitude.
Born to be a symbol... but not the symbol she became, the symbol which will always be a part of her riveting tale.
First of all, this is the story of men, rich men, business men, visionaries all. Not until the "unsinkable" Molly Brown (1867-1932) enters the picture in the early morning hours of April 15, at the helm of one of the too-few lifeboats, does a woman emerge... and it is significant, I think, that when woman emerges into the sharp, unremitting glare of history, she is doing the humanitarian work which has always been hers, saving souls and mending lives from the consequences of the ideas run amuck of their bruised and imperfect menfolk.
Titanic is the story of men who dreamed, who set the highest goal, who raised the considerable funds required, who insisted upon perfection... upon unexampled luxury and never-before seen efficiency, speed, and nautical mastery... of men who got everything they wanted to gain their soaring goal... but who, in the event, made error after error, thereby dooming their inspiring project, like Icarus who insisted upon flying close to the sun... and paid for his insistence with a watery death.
Titanic's end on April 15 is one of two dates you should remember if you are interested in why male-dominated society, which was the order of this Edwardian day, began to crack and crumble; the other, of course, is July 28, 1914 when the great nations of monarchical Europe turned their full attention and resolution to the exacting business of destroying each other and a cultured civilization millennia in the making. After such glaring instances of bombast, arrogance, and miscalculation the world had enough of the very idea of male superiority. All that was missing from this sea- change was a painter of brilliance to immortalize Molly Brown, vital, vulgar, outspoken, practical, American, and very, very rich, in her moment of unimagined triumph as she brought her lifeboat of dazed and frail humanity to safety while great Titanic, her blazing brilliance still afloat, sank beneath the calm sea on that night of terror -- and courage.
"God himself could not sink this ship."
This is the most famous quotation about Titanic. It is also apocryphal, though (suitably) Captain Edward J. Smith said this several years before his plum (and last) assignment: "I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder.... Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that." This same Captain Edward J. Smith, always pictured as a man promoted above his abilities, went down with his ship, aware that no other course was possible for a pukka English gentleman... a decision which spared him a lifetime of the denigration, contempt and obloquy which thereby accrued to the account of J. Bruce Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line, who made sure he lived by disregarding the immemorial protocol: "women and children first."
(Some) vindication for Captain Smith and all the men who created Titanic.
Good stories need good story tellers, people of dedication, committed to discovering all facts, and presenting them in a way that not only captures the imagination of people... but does whatever is necessary to hold that imagination until the story is well and truly told. Here Titanic has been blessed indeed... most notably by Walter Lord, now by Tim Maltin.
Walter Lord, a man to remember.
Walter Lord (1917-2002) was the right man for the arduous job of telling Titanic's story just so. As a boy he traveled on RMS Olympic, Titanic's sister ship and he conceived a passion for how such a marvel could simply disappear. What might cause nightmares in other children made Lord want to know more. And so years later, in 1955, his mesmerizing book was published to reviews which indicated at once that here was a classic, a page-turner, the stark sobering truth told in language that held you captive and made you read, though the matter was often horrifying and always dismaying.
In due course, Lord's great achievement, "A Night to Remember", became a 1958 film to remember. No one interested in the whys and wherefors of Titanic can afford to miss either. Thus Lord deserves his ineradicable connection with the ship that obsessed him until the day he died.
The benefaction of Tim Maltin.
Tim Maltin is a zealot, a man obsessed with truth -- and exoneration. He is well known in Titanic circles, where his book "101 Things You Thought You Knew About The Titanic - But Didn't" is often cited. Maltin's research, reported in his new e-book "Titanic: A Very Deceiving Night", is significant. It poses the probability of a natural cause for what occurred, namely that icy waters created ideal conditions for an unusual kind of mirage that hid icebergs from lookouts and confused a nearby ship as to the liner's identity, delaying rescue efforts for hours.
Thus his conclusion, soothing to family members and the unsettled spirts of the shroudless dead, that there was no blundering, just people doing the best they could under unexampled duress.
Earth's nearness to the moon and the sun, a fatal factor.
Researchers from Texas State University-San Marcos and Sky & Telescope magazine reported in the magazine's April issue that there was another significant natural factor. They report that the Earth's closeness to moon and sun -- a proximity not matched in more than 1000 years -- created much more ice than usual, including the fatal iceberg some of which uncomprehending passengers playfully used to ice their cocktails.Surely, they had nothing to worry about on this "unsinkable" masterpiece...
Sadly, they did not know that the rare gravitational pulls producing record tides --- and record ice -- between December 1911 and February 1912 signalled the end of all... ship, most passengers and crew, and any vestige of cosmic certainly and the comfortable verities of the Victorians. Thus Titanic's gliding descent into communal memory was in fact the first ceremony of note for our own nightmares... That is why we are fascinated by Titanic... compelled by her story of hell... for we are all passengers on this tragic vessel where "Nearer My God To Thee" may have been the last arrangement the brave band played as their world ended around them. We may have good need of it ourselves. Go then to any search engine and listen to this hymn. And while you're there, listen, too, to the score by William Alwyn (1905-1985) for that best of Titanic's many films, "A Night To Remember," for it precisely captures the mixture of grandiloquence and menace required.

'The sound that says love. Applause, applause, applause!'

Author's program note. This article is long overdue. It will be read with avidity, total agreement, and a rain of kudos for me from anyone who writes, sings, plays, paints, acts, mimes, speaks, or does deeds of daring- do on the flying trapeze. All of us, every single one of us, not only relishes the recognition of applause, not only craves it right down to the last clap, but lives for it... as the one essential element we must have to induce us to give of our best, time after time.
For the incidental music to today's article I have selected the opera "Paride e Elena" (1770) of Christof Willibald von Gluck, particularly the aria "O del mio dolce ardor". Here's why: Gluck was the music teacher of Marie Antoinette, before she became queen of France (1774) and a figure of controversy and tragedy. Of all the musicians she might have studied with, she loved Gluck -- and this aria -- the best.
http://youtu.be/x8uj2ODEbQA
And so, when queen of France and of Navarre, she wanted to give him and his audacious works the benefit of her patronage. Towards this end, she introduced him to the disapproving, uncomprehending, unbending, and obdurate members of the Court. Per protocol, they listened, got what benefit they might, but could not, likely would not put hands together and clap their acknowledgement, their approval, their enthusiasm, their bliss for Gluck and his soaring brilliance.
Such a mark of approbation was unprecedented, even by the king himself. And so when Marie Antoinette rose and in an act of temerity, began to clap, she clapped alone... ... but only for a moment... for her sovereign lord and master (who understood the power of wives) soon clapped too... and what a king of France did, the world did... thus was the concept of applause born at Versailles, a tradition to this very day.
Go, then, to any search engine and find this masterpiece by Gluck. Listen carefully; you can just hear the enthusiastic applause of the queen from the days when she was young and anxious to use her power for the good of the Master and his dulcet sound., the sound that goes straight to your heart.

"Nothing I know brings on the glow/Like sweet applause."
The absolute necessity for applause was made in big, brassy Broadway fashion with the title song from Betty Comden and Adolph Green's Tony Award -winning 1970 musical "Applause." It provided the title of this article and the heading above.
In it a group of aspiring actors sing their hearts out in the number that explains why they do so much, give so much, and are satisfied with so little. This is the reason: "You've had a taste of/The sound that says love/Applause, applause, applause."
Now, the most important question. Do you give these folks what they need, or are you niggardly with praise, stingy with compliments, asking for everything, giving little, perhaps nothing in return? If this has been your modus operandi to date it is long past time to change. These recommendations will help.
1) Always find something to compliment in every live production of any kind. No matter how poor the production, how amateur, how imperfect, heart, soul, energies, imagination and ardor have gone into its creation. The oeuvre may be in need of any number of ameliorations... but you should focus less on those than on the (even infinitesimal) good that is delivered.
2) Have you seen brilliance in the work at hand? First, applaud strenuously. Think as you must how much time, treasure, imagination, practice, rewriting, rethinking, recasting, more practice have transpired to achieve this result. Respond accordingly.
3) Jump up when the word "bravissimo" is called for. Remember, when you enter into the world of the creative artist, you enter into a partnership. The artist gives of his talent, showing you his soul, ensuring that you have his very best. Then it is your turn.... your response should be nicely calibrated to ensure that what you say and do is as good as what you have experienced.
4) Whenever possible meet the performer and render your homage graciously and in person. For a good illustration of how this works, consider this. When I was in graduate school at Harvard, my roommate was mad for the theatre, particularly the Broadway theatre... And so in 1971 when "70, Girls, 70" came to Boston for its pre-Broadway shake-down cruise, I took him. He was so enthusiastic about it, I wrote to Tommy Breslin, the youngest member of the cast, and invited him to dinner any night after the production. He responded promptly and we arranged to have him arrive at the bistro after my roommate and I were seated; Breslin astonishing him by greeting him as an old friend and sitting down to dinner.... Thus commenced a memorable evening that made Breslin feel like god and provided more evidence (if any were necessary) that I was Mephisto. Anyone might have done it... but, hey presto, I did.
You can also do this.
During the time I lived in London working on my first book, my mother came to visit. I held a party at the Women's City Club for her and invited all my friends, including someone I didn't know but knew she wanted to meet, the great actor Sir John Gielgud. He was starring in a West End play and I explained in my invitation my mother was his most fervent fan. There was no response...
... until the day of the party. Then, the event in full swing, an ancient footman walked up the great staircase, silver salver in gloved hand. In time honored tradition he bellowed her name... and handed her a letter... a letter from Sir John saying how sorry he was he could not attend, had a matinee, but wanted to let her know how honored he was by her good opinion and loyalty. This letter, still amongst my voluminous papers, was met with disbelief... joy... and deep gratitude. It was, after all, the right thing to do...
Begin today.
Each of us possesses an unlimited ability to applaud others. The question is not whether you can do it, whether you should do it, but whether you will do it. Thus, it all rests upon you, your good heart, kindness, and willingness to do the little that will give so much well earned happiness to so many.
"You're thinking your through/That nobody cares/Then suddenly you hear it starting." Be the person who starts it...

4) Whenever possible meet the performer and render your homage graciously and in person. For a good illustration of how this works, consider this. When I was in graduate school at Harvard, my roommate was mad for the theatre, particularly the Broadway theatre... And so in 1971 when "70, Girls, 70" came to Boston for its pre-Broadway shake-down cruise, I took him. He was so enthusiastic about it, I wrote to Tommy Breslin, the youngest member of the cast, and invited him to dinner any night after the production. He responded promptly and we arranged to have him arrive at the bistro after my roommate and I were seated; Breslin astonishing him by greeting him as an old friend and sitting down to dinner.... Thus commenced a memorable evening that made Breslin feel like god and provided more evidence (if any were necessary) that I was Mephisto. Anyone might have done it... but, hey presto, I did.
You can also do this.
During the time I lived in London working on my first book, my mother came to visit. I held a party at the Women's City Club for her and invited all my friends, including someone I didn't know but knew she wanted to meet, the great actor Sir John Gielgud. He was starring in a West End play and I explained in my invitation my mother was his most fervent fan. There was no response...
... until the day of the party. Then, the event in full swing, an ancient footman walked up the great staircase, silver salver in gloved hand. In time honored tradition he bellowed her name... and handed her a letter... a letter from Sir John saying how sorry he was he could not attend, had a matinee, but wanted to let her know how honored he was by her good opinion and loyalty. This letter, still amongst my voluminous papers, was met with disbelief... joy... and deep gratitude. It was, after all, the right thing to do...
Begin today.
Each of us possesses an unlimited ability to applaud others. The question is not whether you can do it, whether you should do it, but whether you will do it. Thus, it all rests upon you, your good heart, kindness, and willingness to do the little that will give so much well earned happiness to so many.
"You're thinking your through/That nobody cares/Then suddenly you hear it starting." Be the person who starts it...

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
Author's program note. I had been up all night working on an article on global warming. The subject, serious, is draining, demanding, necessarily thought provoking, disturbing. As the sun began to rise, showing its intentions by the first light of a brand-new day, I wrote the last word... and went immediately into the Cambridge Common for air, for light, to be freed from the sobering realities of my midnight researches.
At this early hour, where the vestiges of night still prevailed, as if unwilling to leave, there was no one present... and this distressed me, for I was in need of a smile, a word or two of greeting, and (were I fortunate) a friend. For my night's work had been long and distressful, spent considering the vulnerabilities of Earth and the growing likelihood that our species, having had our way with this planet, was unwilling, perhaps unable, to do what is necessary to save our only, our collective home. Yes, I needed a friend... and solace.
Then there it was... a sight I had seen for every one of my 65 years... and which was there for me now in the full vibrancy of its joyous yellow. The dandelion. And as if it knew my need, it took me back at once to the springtime of my life when my thoughts were not cosmic or burdensome... but soaring, unfettered, generous, happy. All this one single dandelion, radiant in the mud, delivered to me, glad to be of service. And I smiled, gloom lightened by the dandelion's undoubted splendor in the grass, gracious gift to me so many times before; gracious gift to me again now bidding me face the world and its daunting troubles with more cheer... and even hope...
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, more sensitive than they might like to show, knew the friendship and power of the dandelion. In 1967 their Rolling Stones sang this:
"Dandelion don't tell no lies Dandelion will make you wise Tell me if she laughs or cries Blow away dandelion."
You'll find this song in any search engine. Go now and listen carefully, to both the version by the Rolling Stones and the unexpected beauty of the one played by the London Symphony Orchestra. And understand this: a plant that can inspire such sentiments can surely be no weed but must be instead a thing of joy and beneficence.

Facts about the dandelion.
Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Eurasia and North Africa, and two species, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum are found as weeds worldwide.
The common name dandelion comes from the French, dent-de-lion, meaning lion's tooth. Like other members of the Asteraceae family, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower is called a floret. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
These are the facts and as such are important... but no where near as important as what follows, for the dandelion, remembering me from a lifetime of visits with its ancestors, was candid about its situation and how little the people passing by know of it... and its myriad services to our kind. I listened in the pristine dawn to what he told me... for he needed to tell and I needed to hear...
Poets and dandelions.
Most of the many poets who have written about dandelions are women.... and whilst they undoubtedly mean well... they have grossly misunderstand the dandelion. And here he offered one cogent example after another, starting with these words from Helen Barron Bostwick's no doubt unintentionally condescending poem "Little dandelion", irritating the dandelion right from its title and irritating it throughout with its ill-considered aggravating descriptions: "Bright little Dandelion... Wise little Dandelion... True little dandelion" and many similar misunderstandings and provocations.
Dandelions, he told me, are resolute, bold, tenacious, determined pathfinders. How else had they covered the known world in an imperium greater than all the captains general of human history combined?
But there was more, much more to come as the eloquent dandelion warmed to his subject...
In her poem "To a Dandelion" Helen Gray Cone wrote of the "Humble Dandelion" while an equally uncomprehending Hilda Conkling said "Little soldier with the golden helmet." As he rattled off the evidence so long accumulated and earnestly considered, his dew touched leaves quivered, for this dandelion spoke for all his aggrieved species. But here I, who had needed comfort just a moment ago, was able to give it, the truest measure of empathy and satisfaction.
I did not merely regard but fully perceived this agitated friend. So I whispered these words, to be carried and delivered by the lightest of breezes... "There is more knowledge of you than you may know, more reasons to be of the good cheer you have shared with me than you may have ever known or considered." And here I recited the always insightful and soothing words of a man who had, like me, truly perceived more in the dandelion than their littleness... This man was the Great Republic's great poet Walt Whitman. These were his simple, evocative words from his masterpiece "Leaves of Grass" (1855):
"Simple and fresh and fair from winter's close emerging/ As if no artifice of fashion, business, politics, had ever been/ Forth from its sunny nook of shelter'd grass -- innocent, golden, calm as the dawn/ the spring's first dandelion shows its trustful face."
"I remember... yes, I remember." And tears of remembrance mixed with the dew.. for these generous sentiments, celestial, obliterated an ocean of misstatements and misunderstandings, a single word of generosity and genius providing an infinity of bliss.
And so we understood each other, this bright yellow dandelion accoutered in radiance and I. We had both found a friend and been refreshed, each giving the other what he most needed then, all that was necessary to trek our laborious path. Thus we parted, happy with our chance encounter, our lives enhanced, our burden bearable again:
"Little girls and boys come out to play/ Bring your dandelions to blow away/ Dandelion don't tell no lies/ Dandelion will make you wise." And no one knows it better than I...

6 Easy Steps To Separating Your Personal Life From Your Business
If you work from home, chances are you already know that you?re really pulling ?double duty?. You probably work on your business while doing the laundry, corralling the kids, or fixing dinner... and let?s not forget all the phone calls from family and friends expecting you to run errands or just "go out" for an afternoon of fun.
One of the hardest parts of running a home business is separating your work from your family and social life. Here are six proven ways to keep your home life running smoothly while keeping your business on track.
1. First, create a work schedule and stick with it. It may be tempting to answer personal calls during the day or take business calls after-hours, but doing this actually shows that you?re expendable ? not dependable ? and people will take for granted that you?ll ?always be there? for any little things that come up. Even though family comes first, stay true to your business hours and resist the urge to chat with friends or pick up groceries during working hours.
2. Your friends may consider ?working from home? an invitation to chat during the day or just go out for coffee or shopping for an afternoon. Make it clear that your business hours are just that ? for business. Leave personal calls for after-hours, and you?ll find that your friends will gradually accept your schedule without feeling slighted.
3. Just because you have to set up a work schedule, doesn?t mean that you have to keep the same hours as everyone else. One of the benefits of working for yourself is setting your own hours to fit your most productive times. Whether you?re an early bird or a night owl, you?ll find that you?ll get much more done when you?re attuned to your body?s own natural rhythms. Some people work in the morning, take a break in the afternoon when the kids are home from school, and work again in the evening. Schedule your work time when you feel the most productive and you?ll find that things get done easier, faster and better than when you were dragging along during those same rigid work hours that everyone else has.
4. If getting after-hours business calls or work day personal calls is a problem, it helps to have a separate business phone line, or at least an answering machine or voice mail, to take the incoming calls. This also gives your business a more professional appearance to clients than if you and your family make and receive calls from the same phone line.
5. If at all possible, try to separate your ?home office? from the rest of your home. If you don?t have the luxury of a separate room, a room partition or screen can be just as helpful. This also serves as a visual cue to family that you?re working and shouldn?t be bothered.
6. Dress and act professionally while working. Some people find it helpful to dress in casual business attire during their working hours. This reinforces that just because you?re working from home doesn?t make you any less of a professional. Answer the phone with your name, or business name, and keep your children off the phone during business hours. Also, spend money investing in the tools you need to do your job right. A cell phone, fax machine or even a budget computer can help turn your home office into a true workspace.
If you follow all of these tips and stick with them, chances are you?ll find a routine that not only makes you feel productive and active in your business, but also projects the message that you mean business ? literally!
