Anthony: Support Props 3 and 4
What is a constitution but a statement that a community agrees to be guided by? Social groups, economic and environmental priorities have changed over time. So has our founding document. The self-proclaimed Republic of Vermont took guidance from the “keystone state” constitution. Our first version, uniquely altered for its time, traced much of Pennsylvania’s founding document.
Recently there have been reports from Canada on demands for the Catholic Church to apologise for its actions in church run boarding schools. In Australia we have had details of the sex abuse scandals. But what we have not had from the Church, in Australia, is an apology for what its doctrinaire attitude to family planning and birth control meant for hundreds of Catholic families in the 1950s and 1960s.

LETTERS: I'm voting for a pro-life presidential nominee. This year, it's not a Republican Original

The Manchurian Mint
“Look up!” my friend Min exclaims and points. I lift my head to the lamppost. A pair of glass globes is mounted right below the streetlamps. Floating inside one is a bright red Chinese knot. Inside the other, a sizzling hot pink hummingbird beats its wings. The unreal bird hovers for a few moments. Suddenly, it expands and transforms into a red rose, and a few seconds later it morphs into a Chinese lantern. A couple of other pedestrians on Dadong Road in Shenyang notice us staring.
The Best and Worst of Times
The former coin designer and current ancient philosophy scholar’s black two-seater scoots down the leaf-strewn road. Brown leaves flutter in its wake like torn paperback pages. Winter in Nanjing has not quite arrived… Yet. To our left, the semi-frozen parklands that border the Qinhuai River are deserted. To our right, graceful Qing Dynasty, or maybe Republic-era, multistory buildings line the street. Nanjing, a city that has so far escaped hyper-development, has many neighborhoods like this.
Many Happy Returns
In unison, six dancers precisely turn a quarter circle. Then, one by one, the women slowly rotate back as their left arms sweep upward toward the high ceiling of the China National Convention Center. Their blue, green, and ochre-colored costumes swirl through the air. Behind the performers, a large screen displays images of mountains and valleys, painted in colors that match not only the costumes, but also the artwork on the four coins in the new 2024 Famous Ancient Chinese Painting series.
Central Casting
As the sun hangs low in a cantaloupe-orange sky, wisps of sand blow across the highway. Accompanied by a faint ting-ting-ting as specks of mineral smack car metal, we sweep toward the Xi’an city limits. Towns and hamlets beaten into dullness by the desert wind pass by outside. I stare out at car body shops and warehouses with tin roofs but see no pedestrians. Once upon a time, caravans of camels might have passed this way on their Silk Road journey.
Shelter from the Storm, Written Down
Birds sing, flowers bloom, and on this spring 2023 day, the streets of Shanghai are filled with a sense of renewal. I ride the subway from People’s Square, in the central part of the city, to Tilanqiao station in the Hongkou District. From there, a short walk past a park leads to the White Horse Tavern. This white (of course!), three-story-tall building is a part of the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum. It recreates a social center from the 1940s.
Dream Team
On a park bench in People’s Square one warm Shanghai afternoon, I relax and open a well-worn copy of Journey to the West. Suited-up office workers, families with eyes focused on their children, and fashionable young people with the latest cellphones all parade by. From the canopy of foliage above, the twitters of the park’s feathered friends waft down soft as rose petals.
The best double albums ever made
11 hours ago Keith Richards is opening up about how arthritis has impacted his guitar skills. The Rolling Stones guitarist told BBC on Tuesday that he doesn't have any pain related to his affected joints, describing his arthritis as "a sort of benign version."

20 musicians who were notoriously difficult to work with Let's face it: They don't call them mad geniuses for nothing. The world's foremost musicians are often some of the most tortured — or the most arrogant. It's a combination that often comes with the territory, as it usually takes a troubled sort of person to bring innovative creations to life.
The Plenary: a time for the Australian Catholic hierarchy to publicly apologise
Recently there have been reports from Canada on demands for the Catholic Church to apologise for its actions in church run boarding schools. In Australia we have had details of the sex abuse scandals. But what we have not had from the Church, in Australia, is an apology for what its doctrinaire attitude to family planning and birth control meant for hundreds of Catholic families in the 1950s and 1960s.
The best double albums ever made
The best double albums ever made The phrase "less is more" is cliché, but it had the staying power to become one for a reason. Generally speaking, there's power in concision — saying a lot with a little. But there's plenty of strength in excess when it comes to certain double albums. At their worst, double albums can be cynical plays for more sales or the worst-case scenario cocktail of scattered thoughts and a lack of discipline.

It's a Small World
Not much street noise makes it through to my 17th-floor hotel room in Shanghai. Somehow, one tune tiptoes in from below. “It’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all…” The lyrics to this tune will always be etched into my memory. It was composed in 1962 by the songwriting brothers Robert and Richard Sherman. They composed more songs for movies than anyone else, before or since, in films like The Sword in the Stone, Mary Poppins, and The Jungle Book.

Treasure of the Sichuan - Coins and Cultural Heritage
By Peter Anthony for PCGS …… Only splish, splash, splish, splash – the sounds of oars and the creaking of wood – break the Sichuan Province silence this July night of 1647. Cloaked by blackness and a mist that hangs over the water, imperial government ministers and courtiers alike huddle inside the ships’ cabins. Soldiers keep a tense watch over the rowers, as well as the river banks. If some early-rising farmer should spy the convoy, he would be amazed.

Treasure of the Sichuan
Only splish, splash, splish, splash – the sounds of oars and the creaking of wood – break the Sichuan Province silence this July night of 1647. Cloaked by blackness and a mist that hangs over the water, imperial government ministers and courtiers alike huddle inside the ships’ cabins. Soldiers keep a tense watch over the rowers, as well as the river banks. If some early-rising farmer should spy the convoy, he would be amazed. Boats are strung in a line all up and down the river.
Anthony: Knock, knock
It’s no joke. Climate presently receives the “existential threat” press. But the editorial in the Times Argus Weekender under this title illustrates a different threat: to viability of local government at the town level. Why? Towns operate on the year-round citizen’s willingness to run for office, be employed, and volunteer in a myriad of ways. These important servants live year-round in town, and our public sector requires lots of them. In New England, we love our local structure, and accountability.

Star Lord Appears
A thousand years ago a court clerk in China, or rather an ex-clerk, watched the goings on in a village through a thicket of bamboo. The minutes crawled by for Song Jiang, the ex-clerk nicknamed “Timely Rain” for his helpfulness to those in need. Others called him, “filial and righteous third son.” Loyal to his family he proves to be in the book Outlaws of the Marsh. For Song Jiang to be caught here would mean certain execution.
The Real Story
Surrounded by the smaller children the boy propped himself up in the middle of the sampan. Cloaked by the night the boat slid quietly down the river. The boy did not row because, although he was 12 years old, he was a visitor and unfamiliar with the watercourse. Four of the older boys at a time took turns at the oars. To bob across an unlit body of water by night, with sight reduced to irrelevance in the blackness, all our other senses leap to maximum keenness.
The Bamboo Bear
Stitched into the Sichuan canyon wall like seams on a baseball, the two-lane road is barely wide enough to grip the mountainside. As the bus swerves back and forth the motion sickness bags tucked into the seatbacks no longer amuse me. I stare out the window at a gray, overcast morning. Misty fingers wrap around bamboo trees that cling to the steep slopes. Far below on the canyon floor, a stream tumbles between boulders.
Stripes
The deserted Beijing playground is blanketed in white as a gray cat noses around a bench. Snowflakes dance in the wind as four-year-old Sisi turns her eyes away from the frigid courtyard outside the apartment window. There will be no running down the four flights of concrete stairs to play with friends today. “Should we continue?” asks Yeye (pronounced Yeh-Yeh), her grandfather. She snuggles closer to him and feels the softness of his sweater.
Chase Your Dreams
With outstretched arms and flying pigtails, the little skater finishes an arabesque, leans in on the edge of her blade, and slowly circles across the ice. Her instructor, dressed all in black, stands motionless and utters something short, but the sounds of shoppers and music in the Wanxiang mall in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China, drown out the words for me. This section of the rink is cordoned off by bright orange pylons — the coach’s domain.
As Long as the Hills Stand
“I dare you!” challenges the footbridge, “I dare you!” An icy Sichuan wind bangs it back and forth, but no tourists block the way — there are few visitors here at Dujiangyan (pronounced Doo-jong-yon) on a gray February afternoon. I grab a handrail rope and wobble forward. Atop each railing post a bright scarlet ribbon flaps around as if it’s about to take off. Below, the blue-green Minjiang (Min-jong) River splashes against the bridge supports; its waves are like white threads on dark silk.
Play It Again
“I have a dinner to go to,” Mr. E. announces as he walks toward a long, shiny black car. It is rush-hour, and the Beijing International Coin Expo (BICE) is done for the day. Me, I like the subway. The China National Convention Center, home to the expo, is on the outskirts of town and traffic usually jams up at this hour. One exit from the Olympic Green metro station is across the street from the convention center.
A World Bank Group Approach Paper
With 189 member countries, staff from more than 170 countries, and offices in over 130 locations, the World Bank Group is a unique global partnership: five institutions working for sustainable solutions that reduce poverty and build shared prosperity in developing countries.
Moonlit
Across the sky they flew, not one sun, not two suns, but 10 suns, in all. They would pop up whenever they pleased, it seemed, and scare the daylights out of the farm animals. The roosters got so confused about daybreak that they stopped cock-a-doodle-dooing. One day, all 10 suns appeared at once and scorched the people’s crops. This was the final straw. A 1997 500 Yuan gold “Shooting the Sun” coin from the “Yellow River Culture” series. Click image to enlarge.
Never Give Up
It’s August 7, 1984 at the Long Beach Arena in California: China meets America in the women’s volleyball gold medal match. The U.S.A. comes in with the best record from the preliminary round with China in a close second. As the Chinese team takes the floor its star player, Lang Ping, glimpses a television image of the top-ranked American team wearing gold medals. She challenges her teammates, “Let's pluck the medals from their necks.” The Chinese team is already respected.
The Stars Below My Feet
The Chinese space program has inspired a constellation of collectible money from China, including a 100 Yuan banknote and a 10 Yuan bimetallic copper-nickel/brass circulating coin, the latter referencing the Chinese folktale in which two lovers are separated by a “silver river” otherwise known as the Milky Way. Click image to enlarge. The boat bobs back and forth gaily as a small boy calls out, “Careful of the rocks!” to an imaginary sailor.
Chinese Pandas: Big Search for a Little Coin
Posted on 1/12/2016 The search for a 1-gram, 2016 10 Yuan Panda coin took me to three coin markets in China. By Peter Anthony For the last several years Panda collectors received their first view of the following year’s coins at the Beijing International Coin Expo. China Gold Coin would offer a few hundred of the B.U. coins for sale to the public at the show. After those were gone collectors had to wait weeks until the new Pandas began to appear in coin stores.
