This week Assemblymembers Adrin Nazarian (D-Van Nuys) and Katcho Achadjian (R-San Luis Obispo) introduced AB 1915, the Armenian Genocide Education Act, which will promote the teaching of the Armenian Genocide in California schools.
AB 1915 will require the inclusion of the Armenian Genocide in the list of studied subject areas for the adopted courses of study in Social Science for 7-12. This bill will also require the Department of Education to include the atrocities of 1915 into their publications and teaching materials.
Currently, California is one of 11 states, including Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Virginia, which have the Armenian Genocide included in their curriculum. The California Model Curriculum developed by the Department of Education, includes the Armenian Genocide as a recommended topic to teach. However, schools aren’t required to follow this Model Curriculum.
“It all starts with education,” said Assemblymember Nazarian. “California has had a steadfast record in promoting education on the Armenian Genocide, but much more needs to be done. I am confident that AB 1915 will shed some light on the horrors of 1915 and educate our students about an important yet dark period of time in World History.”
Supporters of the bill echoed Assemblymember Nazarian’s sentiments about the current state of Armenian Genocide curriculum in California. “Currently the State Department of Education Curriculum framework does provide for the teaching of the genocide but unfortunately this has not been put into practice within most California schools. We are deeply appreciative for the stewardship of Assemblymembers Nazarian and Achadjian on Armenian Genocide Education reform and look forward to working with them on this landmark legislation.” said Haig Baghdassarian, Legislative Affairs Director for the Armenian National Committee of America Western Region.
Joint Author Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian, stated “AB 1915 is a significant step in educating our youth about the Armenian Genocide and ensuring these atrocities are not repeated. I would like to thank Assemblyman Nazarian for his leadership on this critical issue.”
Assemblymembers Nazarian and Achadjian introduction of AB 1915 re-emphasizes their commitment to pursue a more complete approach in teaching about the Armenian Genocide. AB 1915 joins AB 659 to complete a package of human rights education bills. Similarly AB 659, introduced last year called on the Department of Education to incorporate an Oral History Component to the existing curriculum when teaching about specific instances of genocide including the genocides in Armenia, Cambodia, Darfur, and Rwanda into existing curriculum. AB 659 saw overwhelming success in the Assembly, enjoying unanimous passage in all committees and on the Assembly floor. That bill awaits to be heard in the State Senate.

The post-World War II novels of the Bengali writer S. N. (Sudhin or Sudhindra Nath) Ghose (1899–1965) received critical recognition in India, Europe, and the United States; however, the short stories and plays he published in London in the early 1920s have been largely neglected. He published stories in Sylvia Pankhurst’s East London newspaper, the Workers’ Dreadnought, and literary magazine, Germinal, which comprise some of the earliest examples of fiction written in English by a South Asian author and published in Britain. They appeared several years before his more famous contemporary Mulk Raj Anand published his first short story, “The Lost Child,” produced on Eric Gill’s handpress in County Buckinghamshire. While Anand’s interactions with writers in Britain have recently been recognized within modernist studies, Ghose’s literary activities in London in the 1920s have been almost entirely forgotten.
Translation takes time; it also gives time, a new and complex temporality, to a source text that exists in a relation of misunderstanding and inspiration to the translation. Early twentieth-century Japanese-English translation practices and theories offer a case study for a version of global modernism informed by ancient aesthetics and subjectivities—but not the typical version in which the ancient is non-western and modernity is firmly Euro-American. Two competing committees translated James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922) into Japanese before it was legal to sell in any English-speaking country. Ezra Pound, that great promoter of Joyce as well as translation “by a committee,” did not encourage the Japanese interest in translating Anglophone modernist texts. He worried that Japanese artists would be swept up in “the apeing of Europe,” as he put it in The Classical Noh Theatre of Japan (1916), a controversial translation of ancient noh plays he published in spite of his minimal knowledge of Japanese. Noh plays and other classical texts, like Lady Murasaki’s famous The Tale of Genji (c. 1000, translated by Arthur Waley from 1926–33) were present in Anglophone modernism before many of its great works were produced, translated, and at risk of being “aped.” While western modernists celebrated a version of Japaneseness based on translations of classical texts, translators in Japan were eagerly tackling contemporary works like Ulysses. This discrepancy in translation practices troubles the common presumption that Japanese modernism lagged behind Euro-American modernisms. Some theories of global modernism suggest that we need to expand the modernist period to accommodate the time of translation and open its geographical boundaries to include non-Western countries. While these approaches work to be inclusive, they can imply that nonwestern modernisms were derivative; they also maintain a version of temporality that does not accommodate the messy, fertile, and multi-directional creativity of cross-cultural translation and exchange—much less the temporalities featured in noh plays.

The REAL Trends Housing Market Report for March 2015 shows that housing sales increased 15.9 percent from the same month a year ago. All four regions reported unit sales had increased from a year ago with the Midwest leading the way with an increase of 18.4 percent.
The annual rate of new and existing home sales for March 2015 was 5.972 million units up from a rate of 5.151 million in March 2014.
Housing prices rose an average of 4.9 percent from March 2014, continuing the moderate price increases of the past twelve month period.
The Re/Max housing report also indicated further positive news: March home sales rose a significant 33.9% over sales in February. This marks the third largest single month increase since the RE/MAX National Housing Report began in August 2008. The total number of home sales in March was the largest total of any previous March.
Government data showed a 2.9% increase in building permits and a 2.5% decrease in housing starts.
Which is great - but what does this mean?
In looking at this data, along with the positive indications real estate professionals are seeing across the country, it does appear that more new construction will be coming online during the popular summer season. With prices showing modest increases in most markets, this appears to be an excellent time for both buyers and sellers.

For several reasons. As we’ve evolved into modern comics, representation of women in comics have changed drastically. I mean, just for myself, I got into comics in the in between of the Women in Refrigerators movement and the Hawkeye Initiative, which both discussed the physical and plot-based imbalance of female characters in relation to their male counterparts. I was you g enough to not really get what it all meant, but old enough to see that stories I hadn’t seen myself represented in yet were beginning to change and I was interested in that. I remember being REALLY peeved about the Young Justice cancellation when they blamed it on female toy sales.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anyone mention the fridging. I was just talking to someone about how I thought the efforts to empower female characters were sometimes overdone and often brought a lame element to a story. Don’t get me wrong, that’s better than half the human race feeling unwelcome as readers. Don’t get me wrong a strong woman is great when it’s done right.
Don’t get me wrong
Lol Im a little preoccupied right now I guess
Don’t get me wrong
They come off as lame because they’re not truthful. It’s added in as a “well we’ve got to empower her somehow or those women’ll complain again grumble grumble!”
Trust me, I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was Spider-Man. I think it was the issue they found out Harry used some kind of substance (I can’t remember what)?
Lol, nope, but close…
I think they amended the code by the time that issue was released. Big anti drug effort
Cool I was worried that might come across the wrong way.
Voluntary…well…they made them an offer they couldn’t refuse
If you look underneath the W in Arrow, you’ll see the Comic Code there.
Yeah, I know. That’s why I asked if that was the one he was talking about, because it doesn’t fit the discussion.
There are some crazy stories about what was approved and what wasn’t.
The comics were sent to the regulators for a seal of approval.
I heard Stan Lee describe how one panel had to be edited because the regulators thought the smoke coming ouit of a gun was too big.
He had his artist change it to be smaller and it was approved!
Have to read better.
No reason to apologize at all.
I wish tone could be better conveyed through posts.
I completely agree. (sincere not sarcastic)

Barings has held hundreds of LPAC seats over the past 25+ years investing across private markets—mitigating conflicts of interests, and recommending best practices to GPs and LPs. As the landscape has evolved, we’ve seen several trends arise—and offer the following insights.
Historically, growth and value have behaved differently across varying market environments, suggesting that investors may benefit from having a strategic allocation to both styles of investing. We build a case for why there’s a place for both in a portfolio.
In this podcast, we explore ESG investing, why its popularity has grown, the role it plays in a portfolio and what actions advisors can take to implement socially-responsible directives for their clients.
Find out how Hermes’ in-house stewardship team, Hermes Equity Ownership Service (EOS), seeks to benefit shareholders around the world through engagement.
Whether a true believer in ESG investing or new to the concept, benefit from a deeper understanding on how ESG integration generates risk-adjusted returns.
ESG Investing includes the analysis of environmental, social and corporate governance risk factors into the investment process to gain a more expansive view of the risks faced by companies and the impact of these factors on potential returns.
The US equity market staged a comeback during the first four months of 2019, posting gains of 19% and allaying investors’ market apprehensions.
Female representation at senior levels of corporate leadership has experienced little change, despite increased workforce participation.
We thought it might be interesting to take a look at the shifts advisors made in managed account investment programs in 2018. We wanted to see where assets moved and which programs were favored.
By integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their portfolios, investors are increasingly recognizing they can go beyond conventional financial criteria and invest in companies whose emphasis on corporate citizenship matches their own values. Yet even the staunchest proponent of ESG investing acknowledges the importance of financial criteria. How, specifically, can we combine traditional and ESG research to achieve investment objectives surrounding risk, return and ESG performance?
Jim Patrick, Group President of Envestnet | PMC, talks about the tremendous growth of impact investing and how it is not just an Earth Day phenomenon.

Ukraines top poultry tycoon is stirring up even more tension in the EU by expanding his empire.
Billionaire Yuriy Kosyuk and his chicken business MHP is already a bête noire to EU farmers, who argue that he won a major trade victory against Brussels by exploiting a legal loophole in the EU-Ukraine trade deal to vastly increase exports of chicken breast — the prime cut.
Pressure is mounting for the EU to walk back those trade perks for Ukraine, and to take action against Kosyuks next goal: the international growth of his empire through a €100 million loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
Green MEP Thomas Waitz said it is incoherent to spend billions of euros subsidizing European farmers through the Common Agricultural Policy to keep them afloat, while at the same time handing money to foreign multinationals that threaten European farms. “Are we talking about capitalism? Or are we talking about betrayal?” he told POLITICO.
“How can we feed them with cheap loans of taxpayers money?” Waitz said, adding that he would be lobbying his national capital, Vienna, to think twice about assenting to the loan.
MHP controls some 370,000 hectares of land in Ukraine, and one of its broiler farms, for example, has 18 million chickens on site at any one time, producing nearly 1,000 tons of meat a day.
AVEC, Europes poultry lobby, said it was “extremely surprised” to learn of the proposed loan. “The use of EU taxpayer money to facilitate the acquisition of an EU poultry company by a Ukrainian company, which has largely benefited from this [chicken breast] loophole, clearly adds to the frustration of EU producers,” it said.
The EBRD is set to decide on May 22 whether to loan MHP the €100 million for its expansion, but EU farmers argue that European taxpayers shouldnt have to foot the bill for a company that doesnt play fair. The EBRD is not an EU institution but all EU member countries, the European Commission and the European Investment Bank are shareholders.
The loan decision will be taken as a majority vote among the banks 67 national shareholders, which also include the Ukraine, the U.S., Australia and Canada.
The “Batman” cut
Kosyuk first came to the attention of the EUs poultry business when MHP found a cunning, completely legal way to bypass high tariffs on EU imports of high-value chicken breast.
The company discovered it could send chicken breasts with bones still inside — since dubbed the “Batman cut” — and avoid chicken breast tariffs, since this product is different from chicken breast. Meatpackers inside the EU could then simply slice out the bone, and sell the breast without having paid the tariff.
MHP strongly denies such allegations about antibiotics, however. The company spokeswoman said it only uses antibiotics to treat individual animals that are ill
Brussels ultimate solution was to offer Ukraine a provisional deal that not only eliminates this loophole, but also more than doubles the countrys import quota for chicken breast.
“Its a scandal,” said Dutch Liberal MEP Jan Huitema of the provisional Ukraine deal at a Parliament agriculture committee meeting last month, suggesting lawmakers should block the agreement.
The committees chair, Czesław Siekierski from the European Peoples Party, agreed. “Whats going on at the moment is amoral,” he said.
When it comes to support from the EBRD, MHP says Ukrainian banks cannot lend it the sums required.
“Although MHP is in strong financial health, it requires finance to support its ambitious plan to expand, like most other large businesses,” a company spokeswoman said, citing MHPs 10-year relationship with the bank.
EBRD spokesman Anton Usov told POLITICO that the loan is designed to rebalance MHPs finance sheet after its purchase of Slovenian poultry firm Perutnina Ptuj in November, which he said is “fairly normal in banking” and “part of [MHPs] strategy which is designed to expand operations in the EU.”
Supersized superbug concerns
Austrian MEP Waitz also said there are “lots of question marks” surrounding MHPs environmental standards, giving voice to a recurring complaint among EU farmers. Critics argue the firm must, because of its vast size, be using massive amounts of antibiotics in order to protect against stray infections that would decimate its huge flocks, at a time when the EU is trying to combat antimicrobial resistance — the rise in superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics, which is linked to overmedication.
MHP strongly denies such allegations about antibiotics, however. The company spokeswoman said it only useRead More – Source

Guitar World Presents Kirk Hammett's The Sound and the Fury
Guitar World Presents Kirk Hammett's The Sound and
(Guitar Educational). In 1993, Guitar World introduced a column called "The Sound & the Fury," penned by Metallica's master of metal guitar himself, Kirk Hammett. In his column, Kirk didn't just talk about his licks, riffs, warm-ups, and techniques he taught them. He also answered questions on every imaginable topic sent in by readers, making the column a major hit that ran for years. This book combines all of Kirk's columns into one volume, with an accompanying CD of demos played by Nick Bowcott.

On Tuesday, March 20 CFS welcomed Michelle Cove of MEDIAGIRLS. In MEDIAGIRL’s 60-90 minute workshop, founder and Executive Director Michelle Cove shares a new road map with concrete strategies to help parents and educators understand our kids' use of social media, and guide girls in making social media fun, healthy, and empowering. Click here to register.
Parents and educators often don’t know where to start when talking to girls about social-media expectations and guidelines. We didn't grow up with Snapchat and Instagram, and it can be overwhelming to stay informed on the latest apps, and monitor what girls are exposed to and experience. Social media is not going away, and researchers agree that social media use by teen girls is currently "fueling a mental health crisis.”

On this week’s episode of Gabfest Radio from Slate and WNYC, Political Gabfest panelists Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss the President’s plan to attack Syria. They also discuss the debt ceiling, immigration, and other challenges that confront Congress on its return to session.
Then on the Culture Gabfest portion of the show, our critics discuss the The World’s End, the final film in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy. The film follows five childhood friends who reunite in middle age to conquer the Golden Mile—a herculean beer binge across 12 pubs in the fictional Newton Haven, England—and find themselves in a position to save the world. The gabfest reviews the film and situates it among this summer’s other apocalypse parodies.
Next, with the help of Slate critic Aisha Harris, the gabbers take on Miley Cyrus’ now-viral performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, which featured an African-American dance crew, a twerking Miley, and a foam finger in all the wrong places. Was it racist? Over-sexed? Or just terribly awkward? Lastly, the gabfest celebrates the end of summer with a discussion of amusement parks: their hedonism, romance, and iconic place in an American summer.

THERE are 1200 families registered with Family Works in Southland.
The Southland organisers of Kiwi Christmas Books are hoping they can get enough books written by New Zealand authors, to give every one of those families a book this Christmas.
The campaign is the brainchild of former Southland resident, journalist and author Sonya Wilson.
It will be the third year of the national campaign which has seen more than 8000 books donated to children throughout the country, many of them written by New Zealand authors, both in English and te reo Maori.
Southland organiser Pam Wilson said Southlanders last year donated 820 books to the cause, which was not only great for the recipients but also for the New Zealand authors who were supported as a result.
Every book donated in the region last year, was gifted to a Southland family.
“It will be the same this year too.”
What she hoped this year, was people would think a little bit outside the box when gifting a book.
“They could be staff Christmas presents with staff agreeing to donate money to the books.
They were also interested in hearing from any corporate entities that would be interested in donating books, she said.
Organiser Barbara Jones said the donation could also be used in lieu of a secret Santa present.
The pair asked the books not be wrapped as they needed to assess the age level of each book.
- Kiwi Christmas Books donations can be dropped off at Windsor Stationery, Young Reflections, Paper Plus, SBS or the Southland Express.

Earlier this month, Big Sean and Hit-Boy made their way to the Power 106 building so Sean could take part in the LA Leakers’ ongoing freestyle series. At the time, it was just an impressive rap session, but we should’ve known the two had something else up their sleeves. Especially after they doubled back two days later with a new song called “What A Life.”
Turns out, Big Sean and Hit-Boy had a handful of tracks to share. And today, the Detroit to Inland Empire duo have done just that with the release of their new EP, What You Expect. A six-pack drop, the project has features from Bryson Tiller, Lil Durk, 42 Dogg, and Babyface Ray.
- “Into It”
- “The One”
- “Loyal To A Fault” ft. Bryson Tiller & Lil Durk
- “Offense” ft. Babyface Ray & 42 Dugg

Press play and be sure to add What You Expect wherever you get music.

Consider your average workday. You might be thinking of a 9 to 5 office job, a 12 hour evening nursing shift, or even 24 hour mom duty. For many in the fashion manufacturing industry, though, it consists of a 14-hour shift, earning less than 3 dollars in total compensation, and unsafe working conditions. The hardships for these people deal with everyday are unimaginable for most. When a shirt costs $8, there is no way the person making that top is adequately compensated (consider this realist cost breakdown). While some brands create and support these working conditions, we do not.
Given that about 85% of garment workers are women, fast fashion is both an issue of feminism and human rights. If you want to support, love, and empower women globally, you as a consumer must also address this issue. For all of us at lur, empowering women is essential to our work because we know how disruptive the fashion industry can be on individuals working in it. We want to not only provide a safe work environment for everyone in our supply chain but improve their living conditions by providing educational and career opportunities.
In doing so, we have partnered with two amazing organizations, Friendship Bridge and CECAP. Friendship Bridge is a Guatemalan-based nonprofit that empowers women by giving them the tools to become economically independent. They combine microcredit loans and education to give women the boost they need; to become business owners, cultivate skill sets, and achieve a better understanding of health and wellness. CECAP, Centro de Capacitacion, is a local product development initiative located in Santa Cruz. At this vocational education center, the focus is on training individuals and students (primarily women) to gain the skills necessary to produce products that will be marketed both locally and internationally. CECAP offers programs for students and adults in sewing, computer education, carpentry, welding, and foot loom weaving.
When purchasing from our online retail site, you’re providing 25 hours of valuable, vocational training to a Guatemalan in need. These women, in turn, learn the skills they need to support themselves and their families and break the cycle of poverty. We are proud partners of Friendship Bridge and the CECAP, and support their missions with the help of your ethical fashion choices.
What other ways do you empower women in your own life? We would love to know! Leave a comment below or join the conversation on our facebook page.

Ozil goal fires Germany into last 16
A thundering strike on the hour by Germany's Mesut Ozil has given the three-times World Cup winners a 1-0 win over Group D rival Ghana at Soccer City and a place in the second round.
Germany finished top of the section and will play England on Monday (AEST) in Bloemfontein.
Ghana, the only African team to reach the last 16 so far, came second and will face the United States on Sunday (AEST) in Rustenburg.
Australia beat Serbia 2-1 ">in the other match in the group, a result which meant both teams were eliminated.
Ghana now carries the hopes of Africa in the first World Cup to be hosted on the continent, with Ivory Coast needing a miracle to qualify from Group G because of an inferior goal difference.
"I hope the majority of South Africans will continue to support us... I hope we will benefit from massive support here in South Africa," Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac said.
"We've created wonderful chances to score but we had a bit of bad luck and we failed to hit home. Perhaps we lacked a bit of concentration... I hope we can score goals going forward.
"We have our next match with the US... so we have to forget the game against Germany and move on."
The Germans struggled to break down a solid Ghana defence before Ozil struck the winner in a match that saw two brothers - Ghana's Kevin-Prince Boateng and Germany's Jerome Boateng - face each other for the first time at a World Cup.
With Cacau replacing the suspended Miroslav Klose as their lone striker, Germany carved out chances with the Brazilian-born forward testing goalkeeper Richard Kingson with a low drive after only three minutes.
Cacau then set up Ozil with a perfect through ball in the box but the playmaker, with only Kingson to beat, could only manage a weak shot.
Ghana's defence, led by captain John Mensah returning from injury, gradually shut down the supply lines to Cacau and Lukas Podolski, forcing the Germans to try their luck with long-range efforts.
Germany poured forward, desperate for a goal, and had keeper Manuel Neuer to thank for not conceding a goal on the break when he pulled off a point-blank save from a Kwadwo Asamoah shot early in the second half.
Ozil finally broke the deadlock when he thundered a left-footed shot from 20 metres past Kingson.
Germany: 1 (M Ozil 60')

Meat sales continue to rise in Japan
The gap between levels of meat and fish consumption is increasing; meat consumption overtook that of fish about six years ago but the gap is widening; fish consumption is now 30% less than it was at its peak, in 2001.
“To date, Japanese people have liked and eaten fish, and seafood has been cheaper and easier to get than meat,” said Teruko Kamimura, spokesperson for the Japan-based Agriculture & Livestock Industries Corporation. “But there has been an increase in global demand [for fish] and rising prices, so the consumption of meat has increased.”
Pork remains popular
The contrast with historic levels of meat consumption is startling. According to a National Geographic study, in 2011, 12% of the average Japanese person’s diet consisted of meat. Pork was the most commonly eaten protein, at 56 grams per person, up 833% on the 1961 figure.
In 2015, pork was the most popular meat among Japanese consumers, at 15 kilogramme (kg) consumption per capita per annum, closely followed by poultry at 13.6 kg, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD). Beef and veal consumption was less than half that, at 6.7 kg, while mutton and lamb consumption was a mere 0.2 kg. Meanwhile, the OECD and the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) project a 2.8% increase in pork consumption per capita between 2015 and 2024, as well as a 1.8% rise in poultry consumption.
Hisao Kuramoto, managing director of the Japan Pork Producers Association, argued that pork is likely to maintain its position as Japan’s favourite meat in the future. But the country’s pork producers are struggling to meet the demand. “Official government details show that domestic pork supply is slightly more than 50% [of pork consumed in Japan], with the rest imported mainly from the United States, Canada, Denmark and Mexico,” said Mr Kuramoto.
According to Japan’s ministry of finance, the country imported 209,100 tonnes of fresh or frozen pork products between January and March 2016. This is an increase of more than 20% compared with the same period last year, and the highest tonnage for the period since 1994. In 2016, Japan is likely to be the world’s largest pork importer, according to the US Meat Export Federation.
Kuramoto noted he is concerned that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal between Japan and 11 other Pacific Rim countries (including the USA) will lower the cost of imported pork, which would then lower the price of domestic pork. “In this situation, some pork farmers will have to face abandoning farming,” he said, adding that one way to combat growing imports was to “lead Japanese consumers to buy domestic pork in support of domestic pork farmers.”

University of Aberdeen celebrates the written word with five-day extravaganza
Readings by renowned Scottish writers, a performance of Frankenstein and an evening of football haiku will kick off the University of Aberdeen’s second writer’s festival, which starts in the city tomorrow (Wednesday, May 16).
The five-day WORD 2001 event follows on the success of the University’s first festival, which was held in May 1999, and promises to be Scotland’s largest literary event outside the Edinburgh Book Festival.
Featuring more than 30 writers and artists from throughout Scotland and Ireland, including William McIlvanney, Alasdair Gray, Bernard MacLaverty, Liz Lochhead and Tom Leonard, the programme will have something for everyone, from readings in bookshops and libraries, film screenings and readings at Aberdeen’s new art house cinema, The Belmont, and children’s theatre.
Wednesday’s programme is as follows:
All day: Travelling Gallery
10am: Into the West, starring Gabriel Byrne S1-3 pupils The Belmont
Midday: Reading by Joan Lingard The Belmont
10am: Frankenstein by Catherine Wheels Co The Lemon Tree
1pm: Workshop by Tom McGrath for school pupils The Lemon Tree
2pm: Reading by Sheena Blackhall Banchory Academy
2pm: Reading by Joan Lingard Hazlehead Academy
7pm: Frankenstein by Catherine Wheels Co The Lemon Tree
7pm: New Voices University Creative Writing Society King’s College
7pm: That Gemmill Goal An evening of football haiku and related work by Alec Finlay and friends Peacock Gallery
The first Word festival, held in Aberdeen in 1999, was a highly successful event with hundreds of local people attending the many readings, music and word events, lectures and workshops. The Scotsman described it as ‘the largest, and most impressive literary event ever held in Aberdeen’.
This year, the festival has the very great honour of welcoming as its patrons the Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet Seamus Heaney, and Edwin Morgan, regarded by many as Scotland’s greatest living poet. Seamus Heaney, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995 ‘for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past’ officially launched WORD 2001 in February when he visited the University. Edwin Morgan was the joint winner of the 1998 Stakis Prize for Scottish Writer of the Year with his latest book of poems, Virtual and Other Realities. In 1999, his performance in Planet Wave with Tommy Smith and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra as part of the Word ’99 Festival completely packed out the Lemon Tree.
The festival is supported by the Scottish Arts Council National Lottery, Aberdeen City Council, First Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire Council, the Belmont and the Lemon Tree, as well as local Aberdeen bookshops.
A full programme for WORD 2001 can be obtained by subscribing to the mailing list online at www.abdn.ac.uk/word, or by telephone (01224) 272078. Further information from Alison Ramsay on (01224) 273778, or Angela Begg on (01224) 272960.

I promised to follow up with a bit more information about how the projects I featured during the Stampin' Addicts Winter Holiday Blog Hop are created. This first post features the Christmas card in Navy and Gold.
Navy and Gold are a favorite of mine due to my time in the US Navy and that of my husband (retired USN), my brother (retired USN), my daughter (USN Vet), my son (active duty USN), and my nephew (active duty USN). Navy and Gold seem to be in our DNA.
This card begins with a card base of Whisper White Thick cardstock. Adhered to the card front is a piece of Gold Glimmer paper. A piece of Night of Navy cardstock was randomly stamped with the snowflakes from the Snow Flurry stamp set using Versamark ink, covered with White Stampin' Emboss powder, and the embossing powder melted with the Heat Tool. (Be sure to swipe the cardstock with the Embossing Buddy before stamping to cut down on stray embossing powder.)
A piece of Gold Glimmer paper was die cut with the Lots of Labels Framelits and adhered near the lower right corner of the embossed Night of Navy cardstock using Mini Glue Dots. A length of Whisper White 5/8" Organza ribbon was wrapped around the Night of Navy cardstock so that the ribbon lays across the center of the die cut Gold Glimmer paper and knotted at the left side. The Night of Navy cardstock was adhered to the center of the Gold Glimmer paper on the card base with Mini Glue Dots. A piece of Whisper White cardstock was stamped with the Christmas greeting using Night of Navy ink, die cut with the next smaller size of Lots of Labels Framelits, and adhered at the center of the Gold Glimmer paper label with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The inside sentiment area of the card was randomly stamped with the two smallest snowflakes using Night of Navy ink. The Christmas sentiment was stamped at the upper center, also using Night of Navy ink. A piece of Night of Navy cardstock was adhered along the bottom edge and a slightly narrower piece of Gold Glimmer paper was adhered along the center of the Night of Navy cardstock strip using Mini Glue Dots.
The two smaller snowflakes were randomly stamped along the front left edge of the Medium Whisper White Envelope.
I hope you enjoyed the Stampin' Addicts Winter Holiday Blog Hop. If you haven't visited all the blog hostesses who featured projects using items from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog, it's not too late! Just scroll down to this post and you can travel through the hop by clicking on the Next or Previous buttons near the bottom of each blog post.

But while several key city lawmakers on Thursday endorsed the complex, $300 million public-private stadium plan by the District and D.C. United, significant financial and political hurdles remain.
City officials said they have outlined a deal with only one of the three private landowners — the real estate developer Akridge, which has agreed to trade its two-acre plot plus cash to the city for the site of the Frank D. Reeves Center government building. And news of that transaction generated wary reactions among some of the D.C. Council members who will have to approve key aspects of the deal.
The sale of the Reeves Center “gives me pause,” Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) said. “I don’t understand why it’s in the best interest of the District. . . . It’s an asset, and it’s important that government offices be in places the residents can access them.”
But in an encouraging sign for stadium backers, Mendelson said the soccer deal was “substantially distinct” from the city’s financing of Nationals Park — a deal that Mendelson strenuously opposed nine years ago.
“There’s value to having professional sports teams based in the District,” he said. “The question is, how much incentive do we need to provide?”
Other council members wasted no time in endorsing the deal, including Marion Barry (D-Ward 8), who said it has his “100 percent support,” citing planned new government offices in Anacostia as part of the deal.
Perhaps no council member’s support is more crucial to the plan’s success. As mayor in the early 1980s, Barry developed the Reeves Center in a bid to revitalize the U Street corridor, and Gray administration officials have worried that his opposition could scotch any deal.
That fear appears, for now, unjustified. “It’s going to be just fantastic,” Barry said. “I’m excited about all of these employees coming to Ward 8.”
Gray said the new city building will remain named the Reeves Center, after a prominent civil rights attorney, and will be near Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Good Hope Road SE.
Four other council members — Anita Bonds (D-At Large), Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), David Grosso (I-At Large),and Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) — attended the news conference and pledged support.
Evans, chairman of the council’s Finance and Revenue Committee and a key architect of the Nationals Park financing, said “this is an easier deal” than the ballpark arrangement, where the city floated more than $600 million in bonds supported by ballpark revenue and a business tax.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree concedes that the city's sewer rates will have to be raised to help pay for a new wastewater treatment system that the city has to have operating by 2017.
But DuPree said annual hikes that city council approved Feb. 18 for the next four years were too steep for many city residents to bear.
DuPree delivered a letter to the Office of the City Council Clerk on Thursday that said he had vetoed the ordinance that would increase the minimum sewer rate 150 percent this fiscal year.
The Hattiesburg American reports (http://hatne.ws/1crua3f ) the council can override DuPree's veto, but it would require a super-majority vote of at least 4-1.
DuPree said any rate increase should be paired with an accompanying revenue stream.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) – Sending up a cloud of dust, naked men on horseback scramble to be the first to jump on top of the horse and grab a chicken that’s buried up to its neck in mud. Was. Ground.
This competition is rarely held these days, and live chickens are almost never used. But this Navajo tradition, and other horse competitions practiced in tribal communities, evolved into the modern sport of rodeo, which today fills wide-ranging arenas.
Native Americans have made it their own, sport by sport. This is a shift from past centuries of Wild West shows and Fourth of July celebrations that reinforced stereotypes. Rodeo has provided a platform for Native American people, who lived nomadic lives before the United States established reservations, to hone their skills and deepen their relationships with horses.
“This is a great way to make something good out of a really tough situation, be financially successful, and of course have joy and celebration in the world of rodeo,” said Jessica White Plume, director of horse culture for the Oglala Lakota Tribe. It was a way to do that.” Program for the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations in North Dakota.
Others are also reading…
The sport was born out of the skill acquisition that came with horses revolutionizing hunting, travel, and welfare. The general bleachers often host mini-family gatherings while local cowboys and cowgirls show off their roping, horseback riding, and livestock wrestling skills.
One such rising star is Nazia Knight, a 17-year-old Paiute from the Klamath tribe who is trying to become the first female bullfighter to compete on the Professional Bull Riders Tour. She grew up riding livestock in a small town, and her story is well known throughout Indians.
As a child, Ed Holian’s grandmother sent him and his younger brother to Coyote Canyon, an isolated and rugged part of the Navajo Nation, to herd sheep. When they got bored, they would hang ropes around rocks, Shetland ponies, and small horned calves.
“We watched our dad rodeo and our brother rodeo, so we knew we had the foundation,” said Holian, a rodeo coach at Diné University in Zeile, Ariz. said. “It was in our blood.”
For Kennard Real Bird, who has been riding saddle broncs for 16 years, horses have given him freedom on the Crow Reservation in Montana. The river where the Battle of Little His Bighorn took place flowed over the land, the meadows widened with pine trees, and the high hills afforded views of an even wider range.
Life on the ranch evolved into a career as a stock contractor and as a reluctant rodeo announcer, doing observational comedy at rodeos such as Sheridan, Wyoming.
No event pleases as many spectators as the Indian Relay Race in July. This race has its roots in buffalo hunting and camp raiding on the Great Plains. It depends on who you ask.
A team consists of one person who catches the incoming horse, two people who hold the horse, and a rider who gallops around the track naked, changing twice to another horse.
The Real Bird, 73, jokingly tells the audience, “I have the most fun in my moccasins.”
All kidding aside, horsemanship is a well-known part of the tribe’s history.
On the Crow Reservation and Fort Berthold Reservation, tribe members compete for the title of ultimate warrior in running, canoeing, and bareback horse racing. In the Navajo Nation of the Four Corners region, the rodeo is still called “Ahoo Hai.” It comes from the Navajo word for “chicken.”
Nueta Hidatsa Saanish University, located on the Fort Berthold Reservation, offers Great Plains Equestrian Studies as part of its two-year equine studies program, the only such program at a tribal university.
College director Rory Nelson said the instructors keep prized horses at Earthlodge and the bronc riders, including Joe Chase, an MHA Nation citizen who shined on the rodeo circuit in the 1950s. and the history of the North Dakota Sixpack, a group of bull riders, among others. of agriculture and land subsidies.
Jim Baker, who manages the tribe’s Healing Horse Ranch, said the tribe recently purchased a miniature bull that is safe for children and is raising bucking horses to revive rodeo among youth. It is said that there is.
“One of our goals is to keep horse culture alive among our people,” he said.
The biggest stage for Native rodeos is the Indian National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Tribal regalia, blessings from elders, and the tribe’s national anthem are as classic as big buckles and cowboy hats.
Tydon Tsosie of Crown Point, New Mexico, restored his town’s nickname to the “Capital of Navajo Nation Steer Wrestling” when he won an open event this year at age 17. In his family, rodeo is passed down through the generations, along with songs, prayers and respect for horses.
Tsosie intends to continue this tradition, proudly declaring, “I plan to do this for the rest of my life, until I’m old.”

Poker is one of the most popular types of card games in the world. From weekly poker nights among friends to the grand stage of the World Series of Poker, it’s a global sport. The easy access to cards means that most people have played a hand or two at some point.
The popularity of poker is undeniable. However, many players struggle with the transition from playing in their living room to playing in a poker room. There are many unwritten rules that come into play at casinos.
Learning the proper poker room etiquette can take time. Luckily for you, we have gathered eight tips for new poker players to help make the transition easier. The follow are some of the mistakes you want to avoid when playing poker.
Do Not Try to Influence a Hand You Are Not In
This is perhaps one of the biggest mistakes novice poker players can make. It is important that you do not, intentionally or not, influence the hand if you are not playing. This can include not telling other players what your cards were and not reacting to the action on the table.
Another important thing to keep in mind is to not talk about the ongoing action. Talking in general is discouraged as it can be distracting to the players. Calling out the potential hands, such as a flush or a straight, can disrupt the action.
Do Not Engage in Angle Shooting
Angle shooting is another major mistake all poker players need to avoid. If you are unfamiliar with the term, angle shooting is when a person tries to take an unethical advantage. Some common examples of angle shooting include trying to look at an opponent’s cards and acting out of turn.
There are plenty of other examples of angle shooting and its impact on the game is obvious. Essentially, angle shooting is cheating and makes the game unfair. When there is money on the line, cheating other players is even worse.
Bluffing is a natural part of poker. However, lying to try and trick your opponents is a different story. For example, saying “raise” but only putting enough chips in to call can create the illusion that you have a weak hand. Most dealers will make you put in the minimum bet to raise anyway. However, it can trick other players into calling the new amount.
Try to Avoid the “Hit and Run”
The classic “hit and run” is another mistake poker players need to avoid. As the name suggests, this situation occurs when a player wins a big pot and then “runs”.
Poker is not like other forms of gambling. If you win the jackpot playing slots, no one can blame you for walking away. In poker however, you are winning money from other players.
Many times, players that try this will just move to a new table. If you are going to continue betting anyway, you might as well stay at the same table.
Do Not Waste Time
It can take time to adjust to the pace of play when you are new to playing poker in casinos. Taking your time because you are new is not what this topic is about. Some players will intentionally try to waste time to gain an unfair advantage.
One of the biggest examples of this is what is called slow rolling. Taking a long time to make your bet when you know you have a winning hand is generally frowned upon. For one, it is a waste of time. Also, it can be seen as disrespectful to the other players.
Another tactic that poker players will employ is splashing the pot. Throwing your chips into the pot in a disorderly fashion is certainly bad poker etiquette. Also, it wastes time as the dealer has to organize and count the chips.
Avoid Showing Your Hand While You Are Still Playing
Like we talked about earlier, showing your cards to another player is a big no-no. That is especially true while you are still playing. Even if the people you are showing are already out, you should show them your cards. First and foremost, asking for advice is against the rules of poker.
Also, it could work against you if another player knows your cards. For example, the player you show your cards to might give away that you have a good hand. You may not have a tell, but they might. At a casino, the dealer could force you to fold or enforce another penalty. Ultimately, poker is an individual sport and should be treated as such.
Do Not Try to Teach Other Players How to Play
This piece of poker etiquette applies more to seasoned players. Every player has their own strategy for how to play winning poker. Sharing tips with new players may seem like the nice thing to do, but it is not. Often times, the advice can come off as condescending and annoying.
On top of being bad poker etiquette, it can also be viewed as cheating. Ultimately, aiding one player over another gives the player an unfair advantage. Also, it can end up costing you money in the end. Taking advantage of the other players shortcomings is a vital part of winning at poker. Giving away all of your tips can help other players beat you.
Avoid Disrespecting the Dealer and Other Players
We touched on this somewhat earlier in the section about not wasting time. However, there are plenty of other things you can do to avoid disrespecting the dealer and your fellow players. For the most part, these etiquette tips boil down to common courtesy.
In terms of respecting the dealer, it is important to remember that they are humans at work. Everyone makes mistakes, so if you notice one try to be polite when you point it out. Also, being a dealer is a tough job and yelling at them does not make it easier. Finally, remember that the dealer is not responsible for your bad hand.
Respecting your fellow players is also important. This can include many of the topics already discussed in this guide, such as not wasting time. Additional points include not complaining bad hands and just generally being polite.
Don’t Try to Hide Your Chip Count
Our last piece of poker etiquette advice is to not hide your chip count. Keeping your chips organized will only help you as a player know how much money you have. Also, a poorly organized stack could be seen as unethical by other players. An organized chip stack will also help you keep all your chips in your area.
Poker is one of the most popular gambling activities across the globe. If you are new to playing poker in casinos, it is important that you do your best to follow common poker etiquette to the best of your ability. For more on the world of poker, be sure to check out our other poker blogs.

Practically perfect in every way!
Mary Poppins costars Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke reunited Monday, Dec. 9, at the L.A. premiere of Saving Mr. Banks. The pair, who starred in the 1964 movie based on P.L. Travers' books, posed happily alongside Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Colin Farrell and the rest of the Saving Mr. Banks cast.
In Saving Mr. Banks, Thompson plays Travers and Hanks portrays Walt Disney. The film follows the negotiations that needed to happen in order for Disney to secure the rights to make Mary Poppins into the film Andrews and Van Dyke would later star in.
At a BAFTA event last month, Thompson admitted those working on the film "were all surprised that Disney had let us make it in the first place." The Mary Poppins author is often portrayed in a harsh light in Saving Mr. Banks, but as Thompson told Collider, it was interesting to play a character who isn't "so bloody polite, all the time…"
"I think, quite a lot of the time, we act in conflict with what we really feel," she explained. "In films, we often get to play people who are emotionally, or at least morally, consistent, in some way, and [Travers] wasn't consistent, in any way. You would not know what you would get, from one moment to the next."
"She went everywhere, so she was like going into a maze," said Thompson. "Around some corners, you'd find this terrible monster. And around other corners, you'd find a beaten child. She was the most extraordinary combination of things."
