18 September 1968
The Beatles decide to make up something simple to record, since they want to leave the studio early and go to Paul's house to watch The Girl Can't Help It on TV. And that's why we have "Birthday": because VHS and streaming haven't been invented yet.

7th September: [...] Arthur was stepping quickly in. He rushed up to me, saying in an eager whisper:— “Jack, I was so anxious. [...] Is not that gentleman Dr. Van Helsing? I am so thankful to you, sir, for coming.” When first the Professor’s eye had lit upon him he had been angry at his interruption at such a time; but now, as he took in his stalwart proportions and recognised the strong young manhood which seemed to emanate from him, his eyes gleamed.
18th September: The voice came from the sofa across the room, and its tones brought relief and joy to my heart, for they were those of Quincey Morris. Van Helsing started angrily at the first sound, but his face softened and a glad look came into his eyes as I cried out: “Quincey Morris!” and rushed towards him with outstretched hands. [...] "You’re a man and no mistake."
I love the fact that when Van Helsing meets Art and Quincey his thought process is basically,
"Who the fuck are you? -- Oh, one of Jack and Lucy's boyfriends? Yeah, you're just their type... manly and full of blood. Just what we need! Come on!"

World Bamboo Day 
World Bamboo Day is a day of celebration to increase the awareness of bamboo globally. Where bamboo grows naturally, bamboo has been a daily element, but its utilization has not always been sustainable due to exploitation. The World Bamboo Organization aims to bring the potential of bamboo to a more elevated exposure – to protect natural resources and the environment, to ensure sustainable utilization, to promote new cultivation of bamboo for new industries in regions around the world, as well as promote traditional uses locally for community economic development.
Join people from around the world sharing their passion for bamboo... for the environment, economy, and community. From the US to India, to the Philippines, to Indonesia, to Japan, to Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile.... to the Democratic Republic of Congo to Spain and Paris, and end in Taiwan, hear about the positive impacts of bamboo projects from the people who are making them happen!
