Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia
Colleagues! Comrades! Friends! This is the director of the Laboratory of Ornithology at the Cardboardia Research Institute. I appeal to all employees of the Laboratory, all its interns and volunteers, as well as to all those who are not indifferent to the scientific progress of the state of Cardboardia.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia.
Our field trip to Kirov, the New Year's capital of Russia in 2025, was recently completed. I am ready to state with full responsibility that all the tasks set have been achieved. We continued our long-standing observations of changes in the level of happiness of the population depending on its geographical location and the time of the year. We have successfully and fruitfully conducted training and retraining of local personnel for potential further participation in the programs of our Research Institute (as well as several permanent residence visas in Cardboardia). Our main task has also been completed — the Vyatka-Kirov Bird of Happiness has been discovered, examined and studied. All received materials will be transferred to the main department of the Research Institute for further work.
I can't help but share some more specific research results. It turned out that the following actions and factors significantly increase the level of happiness in human blood:
• A sharp smile from ear to ear. However, if you have weak blood vessels, you should not use it more than 2-3 times a day.;
• the presence of a headdress on the head (regardless of its appearance and the time of day and year outside the window);
• voluntary and compulsory gymnastics;
At the same time, to our surprise, the following factors negatively affect the level of happiness (both in the short and long term):
• Regular queuing;
• moving up the career ladder too fast;
• a person's lack of sense of rhythm;
According to the tradition of our Research Institute, the Laboratory ended with a large-scale urban march. Several hundred citizens and visitors from other cities who came to Kirov temporarily became naturalists (and at the same time naturalists). The prototype of the Bird of Happiness created by us during the Laboratory has become not only the spiritual, but also the material center of the procession. All the participants, armed with all kinds of objects created by them during our Open Workshops, formed the mass, the core of the procession. Its main purpose was to test in practice (it is important — outdoors) the ability of Happiness to concentrate in various manifestations of human culture: in color, sound, matter.
One can already admit that the whole procession was one big scientific experiment. In addition to the above, it confirmed another of our hypotheses — happiness can be transmitted through physical contact. All the participants of the march were in close physical proximity to each other, which does not happen so often in everyday life. Therefore, today's advice from scientists is to stay with your friends and family more often, hug and do not be afraid of live contact with people. Infection with a bad mood through touching has not yet been proven. In the near future, the Publishing House of Cardboardia, I hope, will release a specialized brochure "Happiness at home and in reality" on how to stay happy under any circumstances.
Concluding my report, I would like to thank the Tyran of Cardboardia for such an attentive and reverent attitude towards science, its development and, most importantly, its people. Hooray, friends! Your I. K

I complained some time ago about our neighborhood bank not having any accommodation for parking of bikes, despite the fact that the banking company they're part of has a huge advertising campaign which uses people riding bikes as the central theme. Now I must give credit. My suggestion to management at the local branch did eventually bring results. These curvy things, though, are designed from an aesthetic standpoint, with little or no concern for practicality. But still and all, raising the issue did bring results.

The state of the building as of March 28, 2012. What remains is some painting and fixing of bits as well as some more trim and other minor work.
The Seals, Sea Lions and Walruses of Morley's Progress Street Precinct are soon to be removed. I decided to record them before they're gone.
This block measures 18"x 18" I am making (i think) 4 blocks and I am going to border them also. Loving it so far.
This is what I consider myself to be...
A work in progress. Especially as far as photography goes. Just learning, and so new that I see progress in a positive direction almost every time I take or process another batch of pics (lots of room to improve, in other words :o))
Nothing showcase about any of them, but I get so silly happy when I feel like I've gotten a good one. :oD
