It's all over my company (for profit). Keeps getting
sent and resent regularly. There is virus protection
on the system to capture the attachment, but you still
keep getting the note. I've caught and deleted about
15 copies of it this morning. I'm not really on many
distribution lists here to speak of. But, it gets
into somebody's email, finds the distribution, and
boo-yah, it bounces.
It's like a bad case of gas. Really foul!
According to CNN, it was first seen in Hong Kong, has
affected Congress and the British Parliament, and is
worldwide.
Hope they catch the bugger that launched this one.
This morning, trying to process our real time
commercial trades (with explicit time constraints), we
had a heck of a time because the server was clogged
with all the commotion this thing caused.

The New England Museum Association does a salary survey every few years.
There's info on how to get it on their website
(http://www.nemanet.org/about.html). They also have a job newsletter
that you might want to subscribe to.
It's been more than a decade since I lived in New England. At that time,
museum salaries were generally significantly less than teacher salaries.
I don't know what it is like now.

The "love bug" virus knocked out systems at Mitel last night and at least
one Canadian federal agency. Be advised that Norton Antivirus does NOT, at
this time, detect it and McAffee probably doesn't either. The worm
propagates by sending messages to everyone on your personal address list. I
have received two copies so far from unsuspecting sources.
The only protection is not to open the .exe file with "loveletter" in the
title.

RE: self-contained mobile exhibitions 5/4/00
Here at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County we have two semi-tractor/trailers that travel to schools as outreach programs. The students come on board and participate in hands-on discovery activities in an exhibit type space. The two themes are Archaeology (the interior is a box canyon where they excavate artifacts) and Marine Biology (the interior in the inside of a submersible that takes them on a dive beneath the ocean. We have been operating these programs for 9 years and currently in the process of developing our third mobile program.
Feel free to contact me for additional information.

Dear List,
In helping a local volunteer based Transport museum prepare a 'registration of interest' in taking
on the conservation of a collection of vehicles and machinery left in an estate to the National
Trust of Australia (NSW) (an organisation more oriented to buildings and collections that usually
pertain to them) it will be necessary to understand and refer to the conservation and management of
these sorts of items. I have looked at the MuseumNetwork http://www.museumnetwork.com/ referred to
by Diana Decker (Railway Museums) but have not been able to find a site that gives detailed
information. Could anyone on the list refer me to a site or museum where I may be able to get this
sort of information?

Melbourne's new aquarium and officials say the thousands of people who
visited the centre in mid-April could be at risk from the deadly flu-like

** Iraq Reopens National Museum After 10-Year Break **
Iraq reopened its national museum on Saturday, displaying some of its
world-renowned archaeological treasures in public for the first time since

Archaeologists in Zambia have uncovered evidence that early humans used
paint for aesthetic purposes far earlier than previously thought
** A Viking Chapter in American History **
The Vikings, when they discovered the New World, were probably less aware of

** China pays $7.3m to buy back relics **
China-backed entities paid a total of HK$33 million (S$7.3 million) to
recover two looted national treasures
** Britain shines in the art of diplomacy **
Usually, new government buildings forage for their furnishings and
decoration after the builders have left. Art is an afterthought. But in
Moscow the British government specially commissioned furniture, textiles and
works of art by British artists while the building was still under
construction

Anyone looking for grandiose gestures at the remodelled National Portrait
Gallery, where Jeremy Dixon and Edward Jones's new Ondaatje Wing is opened
by the Queen tomorrow, will be disappointed

Memento mori: Glasgow's museums and galleries, such as the Kelvingrove, are
attracting some lottery funding but still have a long way to go to recover

A history museum wants it. An online auction house beckons. A candymaker
even dreams of its image in white chocolate
** Brush paintings by North Korean child featured in Seoul exhibition **
Oh Eun-byol, 20, the featured artist, was hailed in North Korea and
throughout the world as a child prodigy when she started producing
critically acclaimed artworks at age 2

If your town in like mine, the "love bug" virus was splashed all over today's front page. I have used virus protection software for years and recently installed a firewall, both good things to do, but they do not provide complete protection against new virii.
My son, who is Director, Solutions Architecture for Globix International, based in NYC, one of the leading firms in the Internet business, has been telling me for years that the best protection is simply not to open ANY attachment that is an .exe file. I now follow his advice. Yes, you miss some cute and harmless little programs that way, but, given the rapid proliferation of virii, I conclude that it is better to be safe than sorry.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I think you're observation of Museum Educator's salaries being three times
lower than California teacher salaries is probably par for the course. New
England is still coming out of a depression/recession in many sectors -
dispite the bull market.
First of all - salaries. Most museum educators - docents, museum teachers,
guides, interpreters - whatever the title - are volunteer or wage, part-time
folks. Many are capped at 1,000 hrs a year. Benefits like health insurance
therefore are not paid.
You will find all manner of work combinations - seasonal hourly, over 1,000
hour hourly, paid by "piece" or "project", ten month salary, full time year
round salary and a rainbow of benefits combinations.
A lot depends on the local economy and the competition for workers suited for
the museum positions. The local ice cream store, in some locations, can pay
more per hour with benefits than museums can or do. The trick is - there's
often a lot of turn over and folks moving between stores. And, is it really
something the person who would be a good museum educator wants to do with
their talents for a long time?
Some educators have a couple of jobs. One makes it possible to take the
museum job.
Teachers often have unions. Most museums do not. The non or not-for profit
world is still a good bit different from public or private schools.
There's a very tough balancing act between doing what you love and making a
living.
Good luck,
K. Boardman

Hand to Hand
Fall 2000
Hand to Hand is a quarterly of the Association of Youth Museums
The Funny That Makes You Think
Humor in Children’s Museums
“[Three] is the age when a child’s imagination begins to take fire. ...With
all this bubbling imagination, two new attributes appear. A sense of humor is
likely to surface, and a child’s ability to show empathy for others will
become apparent. ...These two traits are important as I assess children this
age for flexibility in their own personality and for evidence of a good
self-image. ...The richest source of humor, empathy, and compassion is the
child’s imagination and all of the rich experiences that her fantasies
provide her.” --T. Barry Brazleton, MD, Touchpoints of Development.
With Jeanne Vergeront as guest editor, the fall issue of Hand to Hand will
explore the uses of humor with children in museums. How can humor be used as
a tool for learning? Laughter can be an indicator of “I got it!”, a sudden
and joyous opening of the door to understanding. What are the ways in which a
“climate of gentle humor” can energize a museum? Sharpen an exhibit? How does
sharing a laugh strengthen bonds among families and all museum visitors? How
is humor used in exhibit design, signage, or architecture? Is humor
universal? Are there cultural, regional or international differences in humor
perception? And finally, in hopes of not burying all the humor under heaps of
analysis, what are some of the great funny moments that happen with children
in museums?
We look forward to hearing from anyone with stories to share or interested in
participating in the assembly of this issue.

bothersome to begin with. I wind up sending them

The problem with the current virus, however, is that
it's not in an .exe file; it was done in Visual Basic

Hello Listers,
This month I will be heading to Southeast Asia to research museums in the
region. I have an academic interest in colonial and post-colonial
representations of native populations in museum settings, and the role of
the museum in creating national identity (as well, of course, as a love for
museums in general). I have already made contact with museum professionals
in a few of the following countries, but would welcome any suggestions for
"must-see" collections/exhibitions either for research or pleasure. I will
be visiting Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia in a span of
approx. 2.5 months. Thank you in advance for your input!

present. The virus is contained in the 'invoice' which is the attachment.
There are about three or four other versions floating around as well.
However, it is the Mothers day one that is catching people here in Australia
as people are naturally angry at being billed for something they didn't

Asia Society recently put up an exhibition, Sheer Realities: Clothing and Power in 19th Century Philippines (at the NYU Grey Art Gallery) which traces the development of Philippine culture and identity during the Spanish colonization period. Although you won't be going to the Philippines, you might be interested in how they developed the show. You may visit the www.asiasoc.org for more information or try and catch the show in Seattle (it will also be travelling to Manila next year).

Subject: Re: Museums in Southeast Asia
You might want to make you way down to Singapore for a short while when in
Malaysia. There are the Singapore History Museum and the Asian Civilisation
Museum in the city. The majority of the population of Singapore can trace
their roots to an immigrant past, but most of the younger generation
consider themselves to be 'native' to the place now, having been born and
brought up on the island country. The term 'native' has become a rather
slippery term.
I do not have the full list of contacts of people in the museums with me
now, as I am studying for my MA in Easel Paintings Conservation in
Newcastle, UK. But you might want to check their web-site www.nhb.gov.sg
for possible contacts if you're interested in visiting. If you need help in
obtaining more information on the museums, you can contact me off-list.

MIME-Version: 1.0

I was interested in peoples experiences in "salary administration" and
specifically giving raises. I am well aware of the business approach to cost
of living, and merit pay increases. The prevailing business approach is to
tie increases to performance and accomplishing specific goals. However in an
environment where the field is paid so poorly how does this work? It would
appear to suggest that individuals are paid so poorly because they aren't
performing at a certain level, and I certainly do not believe this to be the
case.
So, to make a long story short. It would appear to me that if a company pays
competitive salaries (and not just within museums, because they all pay
poorly, i.e., the 1/3 what a school teacher is paid) it can encourage better
performance by offering a "bonus" for accomplishment. However in an
environment where almost everyone is well under paid, this just does not make
sense, and I would expect this approach to be a disincentive.
Comments?
