The Domain Name System (DNS) provides an essential service on the Internet, mapping structured names to a variety of data, usually IP addresses. These names appear in email addresses, Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), and other application-layer identifiers that are often rendered to human users. Because of this, there has been a strong demand to acquire names that have significance to people, through equivalence to registered trademarks, company names, types of services, and so on. There is a danger in this trend; the humans and automata that consume and use such names will associate specific semantics with some names and thereby make assumptions about the services that are, or should be, provided by the hosts associated with the names. Those assumptions can often be false, resulting in a variety of failure conditions. This document discusses this problem in more detail and makes recommendations on how it can be avoided. This memo provides information for the Internet community.

Names are important. The entire shuttle fleet was named after famous ships of exploration and their names alone carry meaningful definitions. If NASA was building a new fleet of reusable space vehicles, what would you name it? What significance does that name hold?

First time introductions usually begin with an exchange of names. A name may influence the way an individual behaves and whether continuous interaction is sought after (Erwin, 1993; Erwin & Calev, 1984). Evolutionarily, certain personal attributes, such as physical attractiveness and social status, seem to be more important in mating relationships than in other types of relationships. Previous studies have examined the impact of given names on perception of physical attractiveness when presented with a male or female image, either with an attractive or unattractive name. In these studies, it was hypothesized that names would affect the ratings of physical attractiveness given to stimuli photographs (Erwin, 1993; Joubert, 1994). As such, this study will examine the ratings of attractiveness and social status from a name alone and then when presented with a generated image. Understanding factors for determining attractiveness can provide insights into personal attributes that appear to have critical implications on social interactions and outcomes.

The names that school boards give to public schools can both reflect and shape civic values. It is increasingly rare for public schools to be named after presidents -- or people, in general -- and increasingly common to name schools after natural features. This shift from naming schools after people worthy of emulation to naming schools after hills, trees, or animals raises questions about the civic mission of public education and the role that school names may play in that civic mission. After analyzing trends in public school names in seven states, representing 20 percent of all public school students, the authors obtained the following statistics: (1) Of almost 3,000 public schools in Florida, five honor George Washington, compared with eleven named after manatees; (2) In Minnesota, the naming of schools after presidents declined from 14 percent of schools built before 1956 to 3 percent of schools built in the last decade; (3) In New Jersey, naming schools after people dropped from 45 percent of schools built before 1948 to 27 percent of schools built since 1988; (4) In the last two decades, a public school built in Arizona was almost fifty times more likely to be named after such things as a mesa or a cactus than after a president; (5) In Florida, nature names for schools increased from 19 percent of schools built before 1958 to 37 percent of schools built in the last decade; (6) Similar patterns were observed in all seven states analyzed; and (7) Today, a majority of all public school districts nationwide do not have a single school named after a president. Further research is necessary to identify the causes and consequences of these changes in the names given to public schools. The causes for the shift in school names may include broad cultural changes as well as changes in the political control of school systems. Given the weak outcomes for public schools on measures of civic education, the link between trends in school names and those civic outcomes is worthy of further exploration. Reports like this one can contribute to future research by providing basic facts on trends in school names as well as sparking discussion on the civic purposes of public schools and the role that school names play in those civic purposes. The document includes a Methodological Appendix. (Contains 8 endnotes and 7 tables.)

3Note-Books of Samuel Butler

By Samuel Butler and Henry Festing Jones

Early in his life Samuel Butler began to carry a note-book and to write down in it anything he wanted to remember; it might be something he heard some one say, more commonly it was something he said himself. In one of these notes he gives a reason for making them:<br></br>“One’s thoughts fly so fast that one must shoot them; it is no use trying to put salt on their tails.”<br></br>So he bagged as many as he could hit and preserved them, re-written on loose sheets of paper which constituted a sort of museum stored with the wise, beautiful, and strange creatures that were continually winging their way across the field of his vision. As he became a more expert marksman his collection increased and his museum grew so crowded that he wanted a catalogue. In 1874 he started an index, and this led to his reconsidering the notes, destroying those that he remembered having used in his published books and re-writing the remainder. The re-writing shortened some but it lengthened others and suggested so many new ones that the index was soon of little use and there seemed to be no finality about it. In 1891 he attached the problem afresh and made it a rule to spend an hour every morning re-editing his notes and keeping his index up to date. At his death, in 1902, he left five bound volumes, with the contents dated and indexed, about 225 pages of closely written sermon paper to each volume, and more than enough unbound and unindexed sheets to made a sixth volume of equal size. - Summary by Henry Festing Jones

6Year When Stardust Fell

By Raymond Fisher Jones

The story of The Year When Stardust Fell is not a story of the distant future or of the remote past. It is not a story of a never-never land where fantastic happenings take place daily. It is a story of my town and yours, of people like you and me and the mayor in townhall, his sheriff on the corner, and the professor in the university—a story that happens no later than tomorrow. It is the portrayal of the unending conflict between ignorance and superstition on one hand, and knowledge and cultural enlightenment on the other as they come into conflict with each other during an unprecedented disaster brought on by the forces of nature. - Summary by The Author

9Keep-Well Stories for Little Folks

By May Farinholt Jones

"The child's mind dwells constantly in the realm of imagination; dry facts are too prosaic to enter this realm. The "Land of Story Books" is the most fascinating of all lands, and therefore the Author has endeavored to weave hygienic facts into stories that will appeal to the child's imagination. She believes the truths of hygienic living and habits in the stories will "creep up on the blind side," so to speak, and impress themselves upon the young mind." -from the Foreword <br><br> This book was published in 1916, and therefore represents what was then known of the science of health and hygiene (and, of course, the social morés of the time). Listeners will find that, while some of these stories have not aged well, others reflect an accurate understanding of the body, and all have a certain charm. - Summary by Devorah Allen

Rufus Matthew Jones (January 25, 1863 – June 16, 1948) was an American religious leader, writer, magazine editor, philosopher, and college professor. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Haverford Emergency Unit (a precursor to the American Friends Service Committee). One of the most influential Quakers of the 20th century, he was a Quaker historian and theologian as well as a philosopher. In 1917 he helped found the American Friends Service Committee. This work was delivered as a Swarthmore Lecture in August 1920 and was printed by the Swarthmore Press Ltd. (Summary by Wikipedia & John Greenman)

This short book has the objective of showing how important it is to stamp out malaria as soon as possible. Unlike a plague that suddenly takes it victims and leaves its survivors, malaria is a debilitating infection. It seizes all, fit and unfit alike, gradually lessening the general vitality until, in some cases, it has exterminated the people among whom it has become endemic. Extensive evidence has been compiled and summarised from consultation with medical authorities, antique literature, and historical sources to show how this insidious disease has undermined the integrity of a pair of ancient empires, and ultimately became a factor in their downfall. - Summary by Leon Harvey

This book is an attempt to correct and develop the theory proposed tentatively in the little work Malaria. Put briefly, this theory is as follows. In the struggle for existence man has competed, not only with his fellow-men, but also with wild animals and disease- parasites. The fight against beasts was decided long before the historic period, but parasites have always been, and still are, formidable opponents. Whole tribes have been wiped out by plague, kala-azar and measles; and even when the disease-parasite does not win such a decisive victory, it often weakens a nation so much that the latter falls an easy victim to its healthier neighbours. This volume will show how malaria played a part in the decline of the ancient Greeks, along with statistics presented from the Greek Anti Malarial League, and evaluation of malarial literature.

13Year When Stardust Fell (Version 2 Dramatic Reading)

By Raymond Fisher Jones

Emergency can take any form. Here is a story in which the mechanical foundation of our culture is threatened... But more important, this is what happens to a small, college town caught up in such disaster. How quickly do its people dispense with their men of science and turn to superstition and mob rule for hope of survival? - Summary by The Author<br><br> Cast of Characters:<br> Narration: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8425">Larry Wilson</a><br> Ken Maddox: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a><br> Professor Henry Maddox, bystander: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16205">James R.

Bible students and Bible readers have long felt the necessity for some commentary which should aim simply and solely at helping the spiritual life of those who use it. The Religious Tract Society is now producing a series of volumes designed to fill this gap. In every case the aim has been so to comment upon the words of Holy Scripture as to help the spiritual life of the reader. There has, of course, been some treatment of perplexing passages and a steady attempt to draw out the general character as well as the particular lessons of each book. - Summary by Series Preface

Long before 1900 there began a fusion of African and European musical forms from which, at the end of the nineteenth century, "jazz” emerged. This descriptive and analytical narrative explores the growth and the changes in direction of jazz music, and the effect on it of religious and economic as well as artistic and individual influences. - Summary by R.
