Film Review of Curly Top: Shirley Temple in 1935 Musical

For those asking about her knowing her parts, Shirley Temple knew her dances and her songs through disciplined training, practice and performance.

No readily-available online information lists Shirley as having instant musical recall whereby she rendered something choreographically, musically, vocally after hearing and afore seeing music scores.

Online information mentions Shirley Temple as merging photographic memory with disciplined training, practice and performance.

So why not instant music recall for one so accomplished, conscientious, generous and intelligent years afore elementary-school years?

Banded Palm Civets (Hemigalus derbyanus): Ringtails of Borneo, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand

For those asking about scientific names, Hemigalus derbyanus configures the second, species name after the first, genus name.

The species name defers to Sir William Derby (Tue., Jan. 10, 1786-Fri., Jan. 1, 1847) as British colonial official and as British naturalist.

The species name invokes the last name Derby, to which is included the Latin suffix -anus for "of, pertaining to."

Masked Palm Civets (Paguma larvata): Non-Ringtails of North India, Southeast Asia, South China

For those asking about the scientific name, Paguma larvata configures among those scientific classifications with three names.

The three names defer to first, genus nomenclature; second, species nomenclature; third, subspecies nomenclature even as the latter designation domiciles different, distinct biogeographies and physicalities than any other subspecies within that same genus, that same species.

The first or the only name in the subspecies extension goes by the name the nominate subspecies.

In this case, the nominate subspecies invokes the scientific name Paguma larvata larvata.

Sankt Gallen Beer of Japan: Black Ivory Coffee and Elephants (Elephas maximus indicus) in Thailand

For those asking about the second, species name, Elephas maximus carries the superlative configuration of the Latin adjective magnus ("great").

The Latin word maximus translates into English as "biggest, largest" in size; "loudest, unencumbered" in amount, number, value; "eldest, oldest" in age; "highest, utmost" in degree; "chief, critical, importantest, leading" among others; "most distinguished, eminent, mighty, senior" in power or reputation; "outstanding" in activity or agency; "bravest, most confident, most generous" in mind and spirit.

That would work for elephantine achievements, actions and appearance, wouldn't it?

Great Party Idea: UFO Party

Thank you for such guaranteed-to-please party-planning and product lines.

In particular, it impresses me how the shapes invoke such individuality as in the different-sized confetti and plates.

A gold-yellow fork lies on a plate alongside the different-sized confetti.

Might the UAP/UFO designs manifest nicely on perhaps plastic attendee and serving forks, knives, spoons?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Your product line has appealing and functional longevity.

The smaller size indeed is less expensive even as it invokes the same appealing and functional longevity as the larger, more expensive sizes.

The littler sizes lead to more numbers of serving stations, indoors and outside, easier to handle by and for the younger and the older ranges in the age spectrum.

That would work wonderfully with July the 4th such a family and friends event around the corner, wouldn't it?

Yes, the cost allows many people to afford but one. Note the smaller size is less expensive.

Film Review of Curly Top: Shirley Temple in 1935 Musical

For those asking about her knowing her parts, Shirley Temple knew her lines because of a photographic memory and because of practice outside the film set with her mother, Gertrude.

Online information mention Shirley Temple as memorizing her own lines and those of her fellow actors and never resorting to such prompts as cue cards!
