the tenth Seminar began yesterday and ends next saturday, August 14

We welcome your input to this tenth seminar, the stage set for which can be found by clicking onto the Planning Segments item under the Background for this Blog section on the home page, and then scrolling down to the tenth seminar to read the brief "stage set" for this seminar. We shall keep the blog open for the last two weeks of August during which time the editors will be adding material, as they judge useful, and will be linking the individual stage sets for each seminar to the various postings that seem to fit most appropriately with individual seminars. Anyone wishing to post items before the 28th of August can be sure that their comments will be included in the archives for an indefinite period of time and should be accessible as long as the blog is in existence. We anticipate that the blog will remain viable even if the format will be less formal and style-ized.
