Monthly Collectibles (formerly called Donation Items) are limited-edition online items purchased with real currency on the site of . In June 2003, users of Gaia Online petitioned for a "donation system" in an attempt to increase site revenue, and now the site has its own donation system where users can buy special items known as "Sealed Envelopes". On the 15th of every month, the Sealed Envelope disappears from the user's inventory and is replaced by a "Thank You Letter" for the month in which the user made his or her payment (for example, a "Thank You Letter for August 2004" if the payment was made in that month of that year). They are then able to "open" these virtual letters to choose one of two or three unique items to be granted to their inventory from each letter. Monthly Collectible items and the Thank You Letters they are found in are specific to the month that they were released in: for example, the items found in the Thank You Letter for April 2006 can only be found in that letter, and one could only purchase that letter in April 2006. Due to the many different forms a collectible item can take once equipped onto a user's avatar, users will almost always want to donate to the site every month to claim one of these as their very own.

Alvin Shawn Enfinger (born San Antonio, Texas), generally known as Shadowyze (pronounced shadow-wise) is a Native American rapper, hip-hop artist and political activist of Muskogee-Creek and Irish-Swedish heritage. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology from the University of West Florida and he is a recipient of the Native American Music Award in the hip-hop category. He was nominated for a Grammy award in 2001, after which time he was a member of the Grammy council on Native American music for two years. Shadowyze has spoken on Native American issues on reservations, at the National Autry Center, at several Universities, on Radio stations in the United States and Europe and in 2005 he was featured in the Encyclopedia of Native Music .
Life and Career
Shadowyze relocated with his family to Pensacola, Florida at the age of eight. The big turning point in his career came after Shadowyze spent ten weeks in Central and South America and Mexico in 1998 where he witnessed the cruelty of the 'low intensity war', military oppression and poverty imposed upon the Mayan Indian population in Chiapas, Mexico which inspired his 1999 multi-single Murder in Our Backyard which was endorsed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams of Northern Ireland.
By the end of 1999 Shadowyze was signed by Tom Bee, CEO of the Grammy winning Native American record label Sound of America Records (SOAR).
Shadowyze has appeared on over a dozen compilations and released three full length albums; Spirit Warrior (2001), World of Illusions (2003), and his current 2005 release; the self-titled Shadowyze featuring Chicano rapper Baby Bash and production by Nashville’s Dj Dev of Devastating Music; production engineer of the triple platinum selling album 400 degrees by Juvenile and Happy Perez.
In 2004 Shadowyze appeared on the movie-score sound track of Sweet Potato Pie by Lions Gate Films, and produced by Carl Washington. And in 2005 his single, Stand up to the Gun was used as the theme song of the film La Migra (aka Murder on the Border) by Breakaway Films .
Shadowyze has supported the Mayan Indian Relief Fund and in 2005 attracted national attention by helping to organize and coordinate a Hurricane Katrina relief effort delivering several thousands of dollars worth of supplies to the Choctaw Indian Reservation in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
In 2005 Shadowyze won both the Native American Music Award for the song "Red Hawk Woman," executively produced by Felipe Rose of the Village People and the Pensacola, Florida Music Award for best hip-hop and has been the focus of several stories appearing in Rolling Stone, Vibe, XXL, Billboard, New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. Shadowyze was featured on the covers of Downlow Magazine, Native Network and Get’em Magazine.
Through Backbone, Records; Shadowyze and Big Lo released Guerillas in the Mixx, a compilation with Public Enemy, The Coup, Michael Franti, Spearhead, Afrika and Litefoot.
In 2006 he performed with Lojah and Eternal at local charity events for underground music and the Pensacola Books for Prisoners Benefit and the Southeastern Archaeological Conference on Pensacola Beach. Shadowyze teamed up with Dj Dev and Lojah to produce the EP Powda and Flow which charted with Dixie Dance Kings on the underground dance charts in the Southeast and the Caribbean.
Shadowyze has spoken on Native American issues and performed his music on many Indian reservations, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and the National Autry Center in Los Angeles and opening for Chingy at Pensacola Spring Fest.

Distributed Proofreaders Canada (DP Canada) is a project dedicated to preserving Canadiana. Modeled after Distributed Proofreaders, DP Canada submits completed e-texts to Project Gutenberg Canada for preservation and electronic dissemination.
History
Distributed Proofreaders Canada was launched in December 2007. Although it was established by members of the original Distributed Proofreaders site, it is a separate entity. All of its projects are posted to Project Gutenberg Canada, which launched on Canada Day 2007.
Notability
In addition to preserving Canadiana, DP Canada is notable because it is the first major effort to take advantage of Canada's copyright laws which may allow more works to be preserved. Unlike copyright law in many other countries, Canada has a "life plus 50" copyright term. This means that works by authors who died more than fifty years ago may be preserved in Canada, whereas in other parts of the world those works may not be distributed because they are still copyright.
Notable authors whose works may be preserved in Canada but not other parts of the world include A. A. Milne, Walter de la Mare, Sheila Kaye-Smith and Amy Carmichael.
