Richard Glas, Concordia's new athletic director, is making his presence known both in and out of Concordia's athletic facilities this year, and he has high hopes for the future of Cobber sports. His vision begins with the involvement of the entire student body and ends only when Concordia can count itself as one of the top schools for athletics in the MIAC, above St. Thomas, Gustavus , Saint Benedict and St. Johns and St. Olaf .
In order to share his vision for the athletic program with the athletes themselves, upwards of 700 students, Glas held a massive meeting in Memorial Auditorium for all Concordia sports teams. Usually the athletic director only holds a meeting with coaches at the beginning of the year to discuss goals, needs, and visions for the upcoming seasons. This was the first time in Glas' memory that student athletes have been invited to the conversation.
During the meeting, Glas talked about attitude and vision, saying that for his vision to come true, every single student has to have pride in Concordia's entire athletic program, not just one team. Each year, the MIAC awards the All Sports Trophy, a competition that adds up the final finishes of all men's and women's sports by school. Glas shared that last year, Concordia came in fourth for the women's competition and seventh for the men's. Glas' vision is about working toward that trophy, and he's asking Concordia students to work together to get there by supporting each other.
Football captains and seniors Brett Baune, Reed Hefta, Matt Moenkedick and Tom Quist said that Glas should hold that meeting every year.
"He's excited, and it's great just to get everybody involved," Reed said.
Reed and the rest of the team said they have already seen the impact of Glas' call to action. The men's basketball team showed up in full force to support the very first football game of the season at Jamestown, Moenkedick said, and the men's and women's cross country teams stayed at St. Olaf after their meet last Saturday to support Cobber football against the Oles. Baune said that he was pretty sure there were more Cobber fans than Ole fans in the stadium. Quist said that having support from other students in creating a strong home team atmosphere gives them an edge.
"It made the game more enjoyable. We went in there and we owned the place," Baune said.
Marv Roeske, the women's cross country head coach, said that it was a unanimous decision from all of his runners to stay, inspired by Glas' vision.
Roeske said that rather than trying to change the way he coaches, Glas' vision of advancement and involvement reinforces it. He said that Glas is working hard to give each team the opportunity to go to the next level, and that he's listening to coaches' needs too, giving them the tools they need to build a better team.
"It's like Rich is saying 'I've got your back'," Roeske said.
According to Emily Royer, a junior cross country runner and member of the marketing club, Glas has the backs of non-athlete students as well. Glas has been working with the marketing club and the business school to devise ways of drawing students who are not already involved in the athletic program to athletic events.
She said that Glas has plans to revive the "Cob Mob" of the 80s, a larger version of Cobber Nation that involves the entire student section at all games. The marketing club has designed a T-shirt based on the iconic cover of the movie "The Godfather," and Glas will make the first 200 of these shirts available for students for free at games this year.
Royer said that Glas also has plans for a punch card to be distributed to each student. Each game a student attends merits a punch, and after ten punches the card-holder's name is entered into a drawing for fabulous prizes, from a flat screen TV to a free May seminar. Glas is also drawing up plans with the marketing club to publicize half time entertainment, such as a tug-of-war match between sports at a football halftime, or a free throw competition at a basketball halftime. Royer said we can expect to see Glas' plans come to fruition this week. Glas wants to see stands filled at all of Concordia's games.
"Why can't we have a crowd like Duke in basketball?" Glas said.
But he is also hoping the enjoyment and support for games spills out into other aspects of Concordia. Glas said wants there to be students lining up to get into plays and concerts; he wants the entire campus to be involved in all events, not just the athletic department.
Glas said that his vision is about students and athletes being the best that they can be. He said that eventually the wins and losses disappear, and in the end it's about working hard to excel regardless of the involvement you've chosen, be it sports, music, art or athletics.
"It comes down to your heart and your mind.—your dedication, your focus and toughness," Glas said.
Glas said that he hopes the excitement from his vision that he shared with the sports teams, marketing club and business school carries on throughout campus for the rest the year.
"It has to be their vision, too, for mine to occur," Glas said.


US President Donald Trump's statements on the occupied Syrian Golan is a gift and moral support, which has no legal value, for the Israeli Prime Minister, who is running for his fourth constructive term, according to the Syrian Member of Parliament Dr. Ahmad Merei, who made it clear that the Golan Heights is an occupied territory in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly and Security Council resolution /497/ of 1981.
The parliamentarian told the Syria Times e-newspaper the Israeli occupier's sovereignty over the Golan Heights could not be legally covered and Trump's move can't change the legal status of the occupied Syrian Golan as it is an occupied territory and it is protected by the International law.
"The current U.S. administration's statements related to US withdrawal from Iran nuclear deal, keeping US forces in Syria, recognition of al-Quds as a capital of Israel and recognition of the Occupied Golan Heights as Israeli territory show that Trump wants to emphasize the strong coalition between U.S and Israel," Dr. Merei said, indicating that Washington tries to make Israel the only strong entity in the region.
The MP added that Israel only understands the language of force and the US arrogance is based on the power it has, referring to the fact that Trump's statement to leave 400 US troops in Syria means the deep state has managed to prevent Trump from withdrawing US forces from Syria.
According to the Parliamentarian, the US wants to stay in Syria and Iraq to loot gas and oil and to prevent the opening of a road linking Iran with Iraq.
In a response to a question about the importance of the meeting of chiefs of staff of the armed forces in Syria, Iraq and Iran held in Damascus, Dr. Merei said that these three countries face the same threat concerning US attempt to stop the spread of resistance against occupation and to make Israel the only strong entity in the region.
"The meeting, held to put main points to deal with the recent developments in the region, is a message to the US and Turkey as well… Turkey has not fulfilled commitments it made in Sochi and Astana talks regarding Idlib. It still temporizes, while the Syrian government seeks to liberate Idlib as soon as possible," the MP said.
He believes that Russia, which has a firm and supportive stance towards Syria, has the unenviable task of meeting Turkey's demand without threating Syria's unity.
"There is a hotline between Russia and US to prevent escalation between them," the Parliamentarian concluded.

The names Donny and Marie go together like chocolate and peanut butter. They are great on their own, but they are perfect together. The brother and sister Osmond duo have been performing together for decades. They come from a family of performers, and they had their first television show together, called Donny & Marie, in 1976. It ran from '76 to '79. This was a variety show that featured dancing, singing, skits, and much more. The second iteration of the show, which ran from '98 to 2000, was quite a bit different — it was a talk show and about as far from their old show as they could get.
Today, they've gone back to their entertaining roots though with their Las Vegas show, which they perform at The Flamingo. The show, which started in 2008, is a powerhouse of pure entertainment that lasts 90 minutes. It features music, dancing, and more. The show is a phenomenal retrospective on their careers together and solo, and attendees will be able to enjoy all of the great songs they know and love from the Osmond siblings. Some of the songs you will hear when you see Donny and Marie include "Puppy Love", "Soldier of Love", "Paper Roses", and "A Beautiful Life". You will also hear some songs from Marie's solo career, including a cover of Aerosmith's song "Walk this Way".
The music you know and love is great, but they do more than just take the stage and sing their hits. They are true entertainers at heart, and they really will put on a show for you. They received an award for being the best performers in Las Vegas in 2012. The duo looks great and sounds great, and fans will love the show from the first song to the last.
If you are coming to Las Vegas and you are a big fan of Donny and Marie, you can't miss the chance to see them live! Make sure you get your tickets soon so you can see them in action. Seeing them perform is a fun experience you will not forget soon.
Nine Inch Nails has a new album and new tour lined up that should keep new and old fans alike very happy. The band, fronted by Trent Reznor, will be touring all across the United States throughout the rest of 2013 before they head to New Zealand and Australia with Queens of the Stone Age.
Fans know that Reznor is the main man — and the only actual official member — of the band. Of course, when he tours, he does have an entire band come out with him in order to perform some of the complex, and some might say sonically odd, songs in his repertoire. Some of the best known songs from NIN include "Wish", "Gave Up", "Only", and "Head Like a Hole".
Reznor and his music are not without controversy. In the early 90s, he rented the house at 10050 Cielo Drive, which many people know was the home where Sharon Tate and friends met their end at the hands of members of Charlie Manson's Family. He claimed that he had no idea it was the same house, but he did call his studio Le Pig. The word pig was written on the one of the doors in the home when the Manson Family committed the murders. Reznor actually took the door with him when he left, right before the house was demolished. Reznor is also the man who discovered and produced another one of the other "shock rockers" that remains an enduring force today — Marilyn Manson. They actually filmed their video "Gave Up" in the living room where the initial attacks took place.
Despite what one might think about Reznor on a personal level, few can deny his musical talent and influence. In fact, some of that controversy is actually what many people find alluring about him and his music. When you go to see a NIN show, you are going to see more than just a concert. You will see a spectacle of light and sound that you won't forget. If you love the music, you surely don't want to miss this latest tour. Check to see if NIN is coming to an area near you and buy your tickets today.
Do you know the story of Dracula? While most people today certainly know the name, having seen countless Halloween specials and costumes with capes and widow's peaks over the years, some people don't know much about Bram Stoker's actual novel and the story it contains. While a bit unwieldy at times — the story is written through the diary pages and journals of the characters — it remains a wonderful and interesting story of horror, love, and adventure that will always hold a prominent place in the hearts of horror fans everywhere. Without Dracula, the popularity of vampires in pop culture today would simply not exist. That's right; without Dracula, there would likely be no Edward or Bella from Twilight.
Through the years, the character of Dracula has been in nearly everything. Movies and television shows, literature, plays, comic books and cartoons, and more. He's even gone toe to toe with Batman, which certainly says something about the character's enduring popularity. However, there's one other area the master vampire has conquered that many people don't know about — ballet. You can see shows that take the story of Dracula from the novel and adapt it to the stage as a ballet.
At first blush, it might not seem as though the story would work as a ballet, but it really does work quite well with the right ballet company. The story, which starts out in Transylvania, heads to London, and then returns to Dracula's castle and it all works remarkably well in ballet form, and is certainly worth seeing.
Different ballet companies around the country will often put on the ballet, usually in the fall of the year, as we get closer to Halloween. During the fall, people are far more predisposed to wanting to see as much fictional horror as possible. The California Ballet in San Diego, the Grand Rapids Ballet, and others put on a wonderful show. If you love the ballet and you are a fan of Dracula, you will not want to miss this opportunity. It's a wonderful way to see the story unfold. Make sure you buy tickets for the show soon!
Justin Timberlake is a man of many talents. While many people believe that he got his start in show business with his group 'N Sync, he was actually performing for quite a bit longer. He started on Star Search and he had a role on The New Mickey Mouse Club, just as Britney Spears did. However, his time in 'N Sync really helped to propel him to the stardom he has today. He eventually became a solo artist and released his first solo album, Justified, in 2002. In 2006, he released the album FutureSex/LoveSounds.
In 2007, he stopped focusing on music and started focusing on acting. In the beginning, some were reticent about his chance of success, but he was able to prove the critics wrong. He's been in a number of different types of films including Friends with Benefits, The Social Network, In Time, Black Snake Moan, and Bad Teacher. He was also the voice of Boo Boo in the Yogi Bear movie. Of course, some of his most famous roles were the times he hosted Saturday Night Live. His turns on the show certainly proved that he was a good comedic actor. He even expressed interest recently in playing The Riddler in a Batman film if ever given the chance.
Of course, he could not stay away from music for too long. In January of 2013, he announced his return to music and his album, The 20/20 Experience, which he had been working on for nearly a year, dropped on March 19. Timberlake also has yet another studio album releasing this year. Called The 20/20 Experience: Part 2 of 2, the album will release on September 30, 2013.
Black Sabbath recently announced a new album, called 13, to the delight of fans everywhere. Initially, they were going to do a mere four dates to support the album, but that was not enough to sate the fans' desires. They decided to increase the number of performances from a mere four to create a five-week tour that encompasses twenty shows. The tour begins on July 25th.
13 is the first studio album from Black Sabbath that features Ozzy Osbourne on vocals since 1978. Despite the decades that separate that last album from 13, there is a remarkable similarity on the new album to the sound and the style of those old Sabbath songs. The songs have a great feel that's a meld of the modern and the old, and none feel like retreads. Are all of the songs outstanding? As with most albums, some songs are better than others are. Overall, it is a strong album though. Most fans embrace the album and are happy to see that Osbourne, Iommi, Butler, and new drummer Brad Wilk are touring.
What will the new shows hold? You can expect to hear some of the popular songs from the new album, such as "Is God Dead?". However, Black Sabbath will likely pull out quite a few of those old classics as well. Some of the songs that will probably be in the set list include "Iron Man", "War Pigs", "Paranoid", and "N.I.B.". The band wants to highlight their new album, but they know how important it is to appease the fans who come to hear the hits.
Will Black Sabbath tour again? Will they come out with another album? Ozzy has a solo career, and everyone else in the band is busy with their own solo careers. Whether they will continue to record and tour is unknown. This means you might not get a chance to see them again. If you love the new album or the old music, do not miss this opportunity. It's time to check out the location of those tour dates. Find a venue near you and buy tickets before they vanish!
NASCAR remains one of the most popular spectator sports in the country, and it appeals to fans of all ages. The speed of the cars, the roar of the engines, and the thrill of the competition keep people riveted, and there is nothing quite like seeing one of these races in person. Television simply does not do it justice! The races as fun, and some of them even have some history making moments. For example, in July, Morgan Shepherd, at 71 years old, will become the oldest NASCAR driver to start in the Sprint Cup. The current record holder as the oldest to started a race is Jim Fitzgerald, who raced at the Riverside International Speedway when he was 65 years old.
Shepherd has been racing in NASCAR for decades and has four Sprint Cup victories throughout his career. His first start was all the way back in 1970 at Hickory Motor Speedway in North Carolina. It promises to be a fun race, as most NASCAR events are. Of course, even if you can't make it to this race, you can be sure that more are coming up! They have these races at tracks all around the country, and each of the tracks seems to have their own personality.
Some of the popular tracks include the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, and Daytona International Speedway. No matter where you might be in the country, or where you might be taking your next vacation, there's a very good chance that a NASCAR track is nearby! Start looking to see where the nearest raceway is to you so you can plan your trip.
NASCAR is quickly overtaking other sports in terms of popularity. The sport has its own personalities, its own style and people just can't get enough. If you and your friends or family love watching NASCAR at home on the television, you should get off the couch and out into the stands. Buy some tickets to an event near you and spend an entire day reveling in the glory that is NASCAR!
When Kelly Clarkson became engaged to Brandon Blackstock earlier this year, she admitted that, while she was with the love of her life, she worried about what it would do to her creatively. After all she had built her career largely singing super-angry or ultra-sad breakup songs. But, what do you sing about when you're happy?
As it turns out, happiness. That's what Clarkson sings about on her latest single, Tie it Up. With lyrics such as, "now there are two less fish in the sea," and "I love the ring of your name," they're certainly a far cry from previous singles such as Already Gone and Don't Let Me Stop You.
But fans shouldn't worry that now that she's off the market Clarkson will restrict herself to sappy love ballads. In fact, Tie it Up bears no resemblance to a love ballad, although a love song it may be. While the song is dubbed as country, and was premiered at the CMA Music Festival, Clarkson has that distinct cross-over quality that can make her sound country and pop all in one. That's what she's done with this track that's been confirmed to be the first released off her upcoming album.
Fans are certainly dying to hear new music from Clarkson, as the last album effort was a compilation of greatest hits. Listen to Tie it Up here, and then tell us if you think it was worth the wait!
One of the most impressive and fun shows playing right now is The Lion King, and it's unlike so many of the other plays and musicals you might've seen before. Kids and adults alike will have a wonderful time at the show. It has all of the elements of heroism and adventure you remember and love from the movie.
All of the characters that you know and love are in the musical, and it's just like seeing a true live action version of the cartoon! They have Rafiki, Simba, Nala, Scar and even the animals of the Serengeti! The actors, dressed as the animals, even walk through the crowd at certain points. It truly is a wonderful spectacle to behold when you see huge puppet giraffes and elephants walking down the aisles and on the stage. Kids adore this!
You will be able to hear all of your favorite songs from the movie that you know and love too. Listen to the beautiful sounds of "Circle of Life", "I Just Can't Wait to be King", and the catchy "Hakuna Matata" and more! The musical score for the show comes from the wonderful Hans Zimmer, who fans know for scores of Sherlock Holmes, Nolan's Batman trilogy, and the new Man of Steel score.
Of course, the show does have a few notable changes and differences from the cartoon. For example, the character of Rafiki is now female. When the producers were adapting the show, they realized that there were simply not enough female leads. It is a change embraced by the audiences.
The show debuted in 1999 and is still going strong, touring the Heartland and other areas around the country, and even in other nations including England, Canada, and Australia. Even countries such as Korea have had productions of this highly popular and very entertaining musical!
You and the family will absolutely love The Lion King. Make sure to check and see if it is coming to a town near you and buy musical tickets so you can experience one of the best times you will ever have at a musical!
The Eagles are one of the most iconic bands in history, and they have hit after hit that you are sure to recognize from the very first chords. Everything from "Hotel California", "Life in the Fast Lane", "Desperado", and "Take it Easy" are radio friendly favorites that are a part of the modern culture. These are just a handful of the classic songs that you are going to be hearing when this band tours this summer and into the fall. The new tour is a celebration of the band's history, as well as to support their most recent music documentary, The History of the Eagles.
This documentary chronicles the history of the band, and Joe Walsh actually said that he had a hard time watching it because it covers the drug and alcohol addiction from years ago. They came through their hard times and through breakups and many struggles to become one of the most popular bands of all time.
Because of the popularity of the band and the fact that they can continue to sell out shows no matter where they might go, the band recently added another 12 shows. The lineup includes your favorites — Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit, Joe Walsh, and Glenn Frey. The band announced that they are assuredly going to be playing all of those favorites that you love from the heyday of The Eagles. However, they are also going to be bringing and playing in all of the hits from their solo efforts.
In addition to the individual concerts, you will also be able to find The Eagles playing at Summerfest, the World's Largest Music Festival that is taking place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this year. In fact, they are going to be the headliner closers on July 7, and it could be a good place to see them! They will be playing in many locations through the United States and Canada, so you should be able to find somewhere that's not too far away.
Of course, you have to make sure that you have your tickets, if you hope to see this legendary band in action. Look for a location in your areas where they are holding a concert, or find a place within driving distance and get your tickets today. This is a band that you truly do want to see live!
Boston, Detroit and Texas all lead their divisions in the American League; and Atlanta, St. Louis, and Arizona are the top seeds in the National League. But once again, it's not points or rankings that are the top stories in Major League Baseball, as these have all once again been overshadowed by doping allegations. This time those allegations revolve around a dozen or so MLB players, and a clinic in Miami.
It was the Miami Times that first broke the news in January that it had collected records showing that a number of MLB players made drug purchases from an anti-aging clinic in Miami. Anthony Bosch is the founder of the clinic in question — the Biogenesis of America clinic — and is now cooperating with the MLB in their investigation.
Reportedly, approximately a dozen MLB players purchased performance-enhancing drugs from the clinic. Among them are Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun, Nelson Cruz, Melky Cabrera, and Bartolo Colon.
The penalties for these players will undoubtedly vary, should they be found guilty of purchasing drugs from the clinic. Many of them including Rodriguez, Colon, and Cabrera have already served a suspension for drug use last year, meaning that they would most likely receive suspensions effective immediately. Any players for which this would be a first offense would be able to put suspensions on hold during a grievance process, which would have to be initiated by the union.

Q: Solving the equation $x^{2}-7^{y}=2$ I have tried an elementary method to solve the equation $x^{2}-7^{y}=2$ and have given up this ideal at last. Then I try to solve it in $Q(\sqrt{2})$. Since $Q(\sqrt{2})$ has infinity many units $\pm(\pm 1+\sqrt{2})^{n}$, $n=0,1,2,\cdot\cdot\cdot$, the proof would become more difficult. Note that $(x,y)=(\pm 3,1)$ are integer solutions.
Update:
An elementary number theory method on the equation which has the only integer solutions $(x,y)=(\pm 3,1)$ can be found in the direction of Pell equation and I have finished it many days before. This method has been mentioned in Mikael Jensen's comments below but there still needs much more other skills.
Now, my question is:
Does there  exist a method of algebraic number theory to solve the equation?

A: Just some comments. There are primitive solutions to $$ x^2 - 2 z^2 = 7^y  $$ for every positive $y.$ Indeed, if $z_n \equiv 5 x_n \pmod 7$ and $$ x_n^2 - 2 z_n^2 = 7^n,  $$ we may take $$ x_{n+1} = 3 x_n + 2 z_n, \; \; z_{n+1} = x_n + 3 z_n $$ to get a primitive solution to $$ x_{n+1}^2 - 2 z_{n+1}^2 = 7^{n+1}, \; \; \;  z_{n+1} \equiv 5 x_{n+1} \pmod 7. $$
Meanwhile, given any such $(x,z)$ pair, we get the same $7^n$ with either
$$ (3 x + 4 z, 2 x + 3 z)  $$ or
$$ (3 x - 4 z, -2 x + 3 z).  $$ After taking absolute values, you can get some pretty small values of $z$ this way:
$$ 9^2 - 2 \cdot 4^2 = 49,   $$
$$ 19^2 - 2 \cdot 3^2 = 343,   $$
$$ 51^2 - 2 \cdot 10^2 = 2401,   $$
and so on.
I will need to think about whether all solutions of $x^2 - 2 z^2 = 7^y$ arise this way. If so, it is a start.

On several occasions Keghart.com has asserted its support to the proposed Western Armenian National Congress. This is based on the belief that the Congress will be capable to mobilize a competent legal team that will present the Armenian demands in national and international courts. That is our understanding of its main thrust.
Nonetheless, it is important to underline that such support does not necessarily mean total agreement with the historical positions and interpretations of the International Organizing Committee (IOC) of the proposed Congress, posted on its website.
The IOC maintains, "The thesis that the Armenians were doomed to Genocide and nothing was related to the strategy and tactics of the national liberation movement is a myth. A scientific objective analysis of political life of the Armenians for the last 150 years will inevitably show that more responsible, safe way of protection of national interests free from romanticism and adventurism existed. The latter was defended by Armenian conservative circles, Gabriel Ayvazyants, Malakiya Ormanyan, Spandar Spandaryan, etc. That's what Loris-Melikov was telling about to the Armenians of Constantinople during his visit to the city in 1859."
The period under consideration is open to interpretations by Armenian and international scholarship, with a variety of conclusions. It is amazing to note such an extremely judgmental opinion in IOC's statement. For one, it fails to mention the external non-Armenian factors that played a crucial role in what evolved during the aforementioned period, and more importantly lays the responsibility of the ensuing calamities on Armenians. The intent here is not to elaborate on the historical dimension of this issue but rather its relevance to what the IOC proposes to accomplish by creating the Congress.
Tactically, it makes no sense. Instead of bringing together as many people as possible with a variety of backgrounds and use that potential towards a common goal, it alienates individuals and indeed a whole sector of the Armenian Diaspora which strongly believe that the national liberation movement was in response to half-hearted reforms and reneged promises by the Ottoman authorities.
Secondly, it plays directly into the hands of the Turkish propaganda machine which asserts that Armenians brought upon themselves whatever calamities they endured because of their irresponsible activities as citizens of the empire.
It is fair to ask whether above opinion is what the IOC as a team believes in. If that's the case, then it should be open to criticism at least on tactical grounds. Alternately, if it is the view of some historians who adhere to the mission of the proposed Congress then the website should have a page where a variety of opinions are posted and not only one historical interpretation is provided to the public.
The IOC statement goes on to state, "The first stage on the interrupted path of the formation of the Armenian Factor … was the treatment of wounds following deportations, the restoration and strengthening of forces of the Armenian Diaspora, conservation and development of Armenian life (culture, education, economics) in Soviet Armenia in spite of a criminal totalitarian anti-national regime destroying national, spiritual life.." (Bolded by Keghart.com).
Again, this view is open to criticism both on tactical and historical grounds. Has the IOC taken upon itself the task of educating the public in Armenian history or is it trying to organize a political entity that will present the Armenian demands on the international scene? Which one is it? Yes, historical analysis is a must to forge a program for the future, but failing to see the shortcomings of such an analysis and propagating ideas such as above are counter-productive or serve no purpose in reaching the stated goal.
Despite all that happened during the Soviet period, the undeniable fact remains that within two generations Armenia's population more than doubled. Furthermore, for the first time in more than six hundred years Armenia became the centre of Armenian culture, giving hope for further growth. Weren't these factors that were celebrated as signs of "national" "spiritual" rebirth irrespective of what political views people held? Weren't these the very reasons why Diaspora Armenians who were not necessarily in the pro-Soviet camp had started to warm up towards Armenia? The list goes on, but as mentioned earlier, the intent of this editorial is not to engage in historical evaluations but to consider practical implications.
As pointed out with respect to the IOC take on mid-nineteenth century, the analysis about Soviet Armenia has the distinct potential of alienating left-leaning intellectuals. Some of these intellectuals were or still are pro-Soviet Armenia. There is a host of capable and dedicated individuals among them who have advocated for legal international solutions of the various aspects of the Armenian cause for more than a quarter century–long before IOC came into play. Is IOC telling them that it does not need their participation or co-operation?
If above considerations are brought up because of tactical concerns, the ensuing matter is of a more bothersome nature at various levels.
Some members of the IOC have made statements equating the Kemalist Turkey with Bolshevik Russia. This is preposterous. It's perfectly acceptable to enumerate the consequences of what each side did, but propagating the idea, whether explicitly or implicitly, that the result for Armenia and Armenians were the same or almost the same is unacceptable and contrary to reality. The Kemalist Turkey continued to perpetrate acts of genocide. Is it mplied that Bolshevik Russia did the same to Armenians?
Hopefully, the IOC will deliberate on the above enumerated concerns prior to calling a general convention where drafts of policy statements and strategic plans are expected to be provided. Meanwhile we propose that IOC:
1. Enunciate a revised mission statement with precisely defined goals, without the burden of convoluted analyses,
2. Delete references to above mentioned historical points and evaluations from the policy statement,
3. Devote a section of "opinions" on IOC's website where a variety of views may be posted for public's participation in the ongoing discussions.
Western Armenian Supreme Council (not Congress)
This in brief…
I am in contact with them from day ONE, in Paris. I do not think it appropriate to have yet another Congress, which in N. America signifies Parliament . Initially that word was proposed to which I objected. Indeed very courteously, writing that we do not need more fragmentations.
We have a Parliament in our Soverign Republic of Armenia and that should be cherised.
Supreme Council is most suitable…since Armenians never take any "suggestions", let alone a critique.
Kurds do have a Parliament-in-exile in Brussels, but we do have our state, recognized by UN.
Gaytzag Palandjian
My post "Western Armenian Supreme Council" did not include my statement that I accepted to join them on conditon that they alter "Parliament" to above. They have come close to it. Good.
Allow me some suggestions:
1) The said organization cannot properly make headway unless we get more members to join. This needs a Proclamation with a package of clear objectives
to mobilize further our both human and economic resources, which we do have. It resides within more than 100,000 Armenians working in some 16 fields of Proffessions. I suggest that these good people of PCA (Proffessional Colleagues Association) through an organization that already exists in Paris – "Groupement Interproffesionelle Armenien – to which I was a member long ago – be invited to be part of it, and "Haybachdban" be gracious and cooperative to merge with them.
2) Through said PCA, that hopefully will join up w/Haybachdban, aim at establishing a "National Investment Trust Fund".
I fully agree with Keghart that the IOC should not alienate the establishment. We need evewrybody in our efforts to organize and represent the Western armenian claims. Anti-establishment mentality has its merits in seeking truth amongst us; but IOC is not a historical commission tasked with seeking truth as its mandate.
Chances of people joining the proposed Congress
The goals set by the organizing committee are well worth thinking about, and I have no doubts that their members are serious people. Some of them have had outstanding careers, and they have thought over matters for more than three years now.
However, their goals appear to be a wish-list rather than corresponding to realities, except for the creation of a team of lawyers. I'll limit myself only to the issue of membership. The IOC proposes to create a Congress that will speak on behalf of a perceived majority of the Diaspora. Where is that membership going to materialize from?
The political climate in most of the Middle East is such that one has to be very daring or an idealist to join. Who in the right mind would risk being interrogated by the local secret services of respective countries upon return from say a conference or a seminar held by the proposed Congress? None of the countries will allow their citizens to get involved in activities that may run against their foreign policies, and the issue of Genocide has direct bearing with foreign policy.
Think of Iran-Turkey raprochement, the moukhabarat in Syria, the Israeli secret services, to name a few. Even Lebanon, which was considered to be a "second Armenia" not too long ago is not a safe haven anymore. The recent censure of a song, and not commemorating the anniversary of the Genocide on the public radio and TV are symptomatic of major changes not only in Lebanon, but the whole region.
Probably because of the infamous Protocols a sizeable portion of the Diaspora has become quite suspicious of any suggestions from citizens of Armenia or CIS countries in general. The top two positions in IOC are held by such people who are unknown personalities for the most part. It is a hard sell to ask Diasporans to warm up towards them. That too will curtail the number of people who would readily join.
Related to above are the recent anti-Sargsyan demonstrations in various countries. They are not perfect barometers to gauge the mood in Western Europe and North America, but they are significant enough to shed light on where allegiances lie.
Another factor is related directly to the interpretation of historical matters mentioned in the editorial. The "nationalists" amongst us and the so called pro-Soviet Armenia camp are being lectured. Will they join?
Think of it.
Position vs. Opinion
The WAN-C IOC certainly has laudable goals, and in my view has gone further ahead than any other organization in terms of laying the foundation of what needs to be done. That is to their credit.
On the other hand, as the Keghart editorial rightfully points out, there are certainly many things at issue with their statements.
The job of the IOC is to create a rallying opportunity for all Armenians around the narrow focus objective of legally pursuing our usurped righs. In fact, it could arguably be a last opporunity and hope for the Diaspora(s) to organize and make themselves relevant. On that issue, the IOC must step up to the plate. It has no choice.
Along the same lines, passing judgement on points of our history can only be relevant in that context. For example, a clear position about certain mistakes made related to specific treaties, whether signed or not signed by any Armenian government. A clear argumentation about those mistakes and what their shortcomings were, within a specific historical and critical analysis, can only add value, as long as it contributes to the objective at hand. The purpose of such analysis not being to point fingers, but to advance the agenda at hand.
This would be a position that the IOC can and in fact should articulate.
Making public statements (and posting them) which are no more than personal opinions, is however not only destructive, but frankly outright dangerous. For the simple reason that it points at a fundamental immaturity of the overall approach. The first duty of people in leadership positions is to realize that they have to silence their own personal selves. Why? Because when they speak, they speak on behalf of the collective they represent. They can have personal opinions, but they should certainly refrain from presenting them as the positions of the institutions and organizations they are leading.
In fact, this is one of the fundamental tenets of democratic practice. This inherent conflict of interest must be subjugated to the representational duty. Otherwise, any hard-gained legitimacy simply evaporates.
The other important factor that seems to elude those who make such statements is that there is the concept of "guilt by association", the supporters (and wannabe supporters) certainly do NOT want to espouse many of the personal opinions articulated as positions. Given a choice between supporting the objective and staying on the sidelines, I would guess that most honest people would choose to stay on the sidelines.
Again, for the simple reason that no one would want to be an intellectual hostage. Meaning that, because the cause is right, it must be supported at any cost. That would be a ludicrous expectation.
It is a recipe for failure, because, by doing so, the WAN-C IOC would be undermining the very principles it set out to implement. It would be in a conflict with its own mission.
The history of the Diaspora(s) is scrap yard of failed attempts. At a minimum, the WAN-C IOC would be well-advised not only to setup a special discussion space for opinions (including those of its members), as the Keghart editorial suggests, but also to create a strong editorial board made of seasoned professionals from around the globe that could craft a clear and coherent position message in any language.
That's what the pros would do.
Paregamoren
Viken L. Attarian
My overarching impression is that the IOC is totally confused in its mission. What the Armenians want stirs nobody's interest unless the Diaspora Armenians come up with a representative body. Any meeting among people of inexistent ideological convergence is bound to fail. The Keghart team editorial scares me because it points, indirectly, to the futility of the gathering.
Since it is against my principle to be critical without offering constructive suggestions, here are some thoughts you might wish to consider:
1. Define your mission laser sharp.
2. Read Taner Akcam's "Shameful Act" to discover for evidence of the predetermined nature of the Armenian genocide.
3. You might try to create unity behind your mission, but I am irredeemably skeptical for any success in that area. Armenians hold meeting to argue, not to plan any action. Can you change this psychology that has gripped Armenians for decades now?
4. In Turkey, all Armenians wanted were reforms of the intolerable conditions in which they lived. This is the natural right of every discriminated minority. However, the Young Turks who passed themselves for super-patriotic citizens of Turkey managed to steel power from the Sultan and carry out their design for genocide that they had worked out before they came to power. If anything, I would study this part of the Turkish history to unearth any covert operations by the deunme moslem Young Turks to put the blame where it really belongs. I say this with some reservation because I really have not studied the subject scientifically.
5. Leave the USSR in peace. It saved Armenia and Armenians. It fed and made a nation out of chaos. And Russia is still being used by the Armenians as a shield for their adventurous activities. No Armenian would dare challenge Turkey on any platform without the Russians protecting them.

El papá del Mundo la ONU, regidora de la UE El FMI La Corte Internacional de Justicia, etc etc TODAS y Las demas Siglas Que querramos Escribir; Va uno SUS Intereses manejar un antojo Su "Aunque El Mundo sí convierta en Genocidio de las Naciones Unidas" .

Are these people supposed to lead?
Are these people supposed to lead the Armenian nation? You can not lead by dividing. A true leader would be a uniter and not a divider. The "garbage" that they have in their mission statment should be deleted. I am sure that these people are very smart, but I doubt whether they have been in leadership positions before.
The mission statment could be one sentence and very general in nature. For example: "The mission of WAN-C is to represent the Armenian Nation in International Forums to pursue the Armenian Cause by demanding and obtaining Recognition, Reparations, and Restitution (RRR)." Then you come up with a plan to achieve this goal. PERIOD!
None of that gubligook as we say in the military.

Pirelli Hangar Bicocca is a site for contemporary art exhibitions, located in the Bicocca district of Milan, Italy. The building used to be a Pirelli factory. It was converted into 10,900 square metres of exhibition galleries in 2012.

Since its inception, Pirelli HangarBicocca has hosted exhibitions of artists such as Marina Abramović, Carsten Höller, Alfredo Jaar, Joan Jonas, Mike Kelley, Matt Mullican, Philippe Parreno, Laure Prouvost, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Maurizio Cattelan,  and Lucio Fontana. It is also the site of a permanent installation by Anselm Kiefer.

History
HangarBicocca, set up in 2004, officially became a foundation in 2008 after a process of restoration of the former factory premises. Its external appearance recalls what was once its main function, i.e. the headquarters of one of the most important companies in Lombardy's engineering sector: the Ansaldo Group, founded in 1886 by engineer Ernesto Breda from Padua, who contributed to the development of the railway network in Northern Italy through the production of railway carriages, steam and electric locomotives.

Architecture
On the outside, the building has retained the industrial character of the company to which it belonged. The original rough concrete floors and high ceilings typical of the industrial style of the time have been preserved: in the room containing Anselm Kiefer's permanent installation The Seven Heavenly Palaces, traces of the rails used to test locomotives are still visible. This enormous exhibition space covering almost 15,000 square metres is divided into three main areas: the Cube, the Shed and the Navate.

In order of access to the exhibition spaces, the three main covers are described below.

The Shed
While maintaining the original inductive character of the typical industrial building of the 1920s, made of exposed brick, low height, with double-pitched roofs and large skylights, components for locomotives and agricultural machinery were produced here.

The Navate

This is the biggest area of the foundation and it is 30-meter-high building that permanently accommodates the sculptural installation The Seven Heavenly Palaces by Anselm Kiefer.

The Cube
The cube is a barrel-vaulted cubic body characterised by the fact that, as opposed to the other exhibition spaces in the complex, it enjoys natural lighting as it was used to test electric turbines.

What is phase 1 or 'interceptive' orthodontic treatment?
Phase I (phase one) orthodontic treatment, also called 'interceptive orthodontic treatment,' refers to treatment that begins at an early age, and this 'first phase of orthodontic treatment' typically takes place when a young patient has both primary ('baby') teeth as well as some adult ('permanent') teeth present. If DelliGatti and Milewski Orthodontic Group recommends a Phase I type of treatment, it is for good reason, as such a treatment plan will correct a dental developmental issue and/or prevent a current dental or jaw development problem from becoming more severe. It is not necessary that all young patients have phase I or 'early' treatment, but for certain children, it is of great benefit.
Typically, phase 1 orthodontic treatment is the first of two phases of treatment, and it occurs when a young patient is in need of intervention before starting regular orthodontic treatment, resulting in two separate treatment 'phases' or treatment plans. Orthodontic appliances, retainer-like devices, or partial braces may be placed to prevent a problem from occurring, correct a current problem or help to modify your child's growth and dental development. There are a number of problems concerning tooth alignment, crowding and spacing, gum or periodontal health, jaws and facial development that can be corrected with Phase I treatment. It is common, but not always necessary, that a second phase of treatment will be needed after this first phase. Typically, the second phase of treatment is of shorter duration, reflecting the benefit of early intervention of the first phase of treatment.
When is Phase I treatment started?
Phase I early treatment typically begins between the ages of 6-10 years, and it for this reason that any concerns be discussed with the orthodontist by no later than age 7 or 8. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children have an orthodontic evaluation by 7 years of age. Having an early consultation with the DelliGatti and Milewski Orthodontic Group is the best way to ensure that your child's growth and dental development are optimal.
What are some indications for phase I treatment?
Often early treatment turns severe problems that might require future jaw surgery into a more moderate problem that can be treated with braces or orthodontics alone at later date. In essence, Phase I is early treatment that is sometimes recommended to help or prevent a bigger dental/ orthodontic problems from occurring.

Artistic Directors Leadership Programme
"Who is curating the culture? Predominantly it is white, middle-class men." David Oyelowo
How many people of colour are running publicly funded theatre organisations in England?  Not many.  It's time for a change.
tiata fahodzi have brought together companies whose collective missions represent a rich, multicultural and modern Britain – Freedom Studios, Talawa Theatre Company and 20 Stories High – to stage an intervention and lead the change.
Supported by the Arts Council England's Sustained Theatre programme, Artistic Director Leadership Programme is a unique training opportunity for future theatre leaders. The programme comprises two initiatives:
Trainee Artistic Director
Trainee Artistic Director programme provides four paid, two year, full-time traineeships for experienced theatre directors. Trainees are resident at one of the partner theatres, working closely with the artistic director of their host organisation. Participants will gain an exceptional opportunity to take part in and contribute to the daily life of running a theatre company.
Leaders of Tomorrow is both a bespoke leadership development programme and a collective of theatre practitioners of colour.  Not just for directors, this opportunity is for anyone who wants to lead a theatre company or building; this could be theatre makers, writers, producers, actors, administrators, designers, dramaturgical or literary practitioners or movement directors. Leaders of Tomorrow includes a wide range of free training opportunities that will take place in two hubs based in Manchester and Watford.
Natalie Ibu, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of tiata fahodzi said, "we believe that the future of theatre leadership should look and feel different, that is why, with our partners, we delighted to announce the launch of this ground-breaking programme."
ITC are proud to be running the training sessions for this important initiative, spearheaded by four of our members tiata fahodzi, Freedom Studios, Talawa Theatre Company and 20 Stories High and supported by Regional Theatres Young Directors Scheme.

'Get Shorty' TV series nabs Chris O' Dowd and Ray Romano for leads
By Rick Marshall August 24, 2016
Elmore Leonard's 1990 novel Get Shorty was already adapted for a well-received 1995 film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, and now the story of a mob enforcer who tries to go legit as a movie producer is being turned into a television series, too.
EPIX and MGM Television have reportedly signed Emmy-winning Everybody Loves Raymond star Ray Romano and The IT Crowd actor Chris O'Dowd to star in the series, which will take the form of a 10-episode first season comprised of one-hour episodes. The Get Shorty series will be executive produced by Shameless writer and executive producer Davey Holmes.
According to Deadline, which first reported on the project, O'Dowd and Romano will portray characters similar to the parts played by John Travolta and Gene Hackman, respectively, in the 1995 film.
The initial description of the series has O'Dowd playing Miles Daly, the enforcer for a vicious criminal organization in Nevada, who decides to change professions for the sake of his daughter. While attempting to become a movie producer — and launder his earnings through the film — he has a difficult time leaving his criminal past behind him, and finds himself dealing with a whole new set of problems in Los Angeles.
The 1995 film based on Leonard's novel also starred Rene Russo and Danny DeVito, and earned positive reviews from professional critics and general audiences on its way to $115 million worldwide. The film spawned a 2005 sequel titled Be Cool, based on Leonard's sequel to Get Shorty. The sequel had Travolta's movie producer turning his attention to the music industry in order to help an old friend.
Get Shorty is expected to premiere in 2017, with production beginning this fall. The series will air on Epix television network Epix On Demand, Epix.com, and on the TV Everywhere digital platform.

Brandon "B McFly" Chastang Paves the Road to Recovery for Drug Addicts Everywhere
Drug addiction is a deep, dark place that people often succumb to when they are at their most vulnerable. The road towards recovery is not an easy path, and asking for help is often the last thing on people's minds. Fortunately, Brandon Chastang is here to help struggling addicts with their predicament, letting them know that they can get the help they need and reminding them that it's never too late.
Brandon Chastang is a motivational speaker, activist, director, and actor who is famously known for his moniker, B McFly. After overcoming his own battles with addiction, he managed to transform himself into a positive influence on other people. Nowadays, he is reaching out to millions of viewers worldwide and becoming the beacon of light towards recovery.
Brandon himself was addicted to Percocets and Xanax for 14 excruciating years. He began feeling helpless and suicidal towards the tail-end of his 14-year ordeal. He found himself pleading to God to let him overdose, but ultimately God had other plans for him. That very moment became a vast turning point in his life and gave birth to a new season that was about to unfold as he humbled himself and admitted to himself that he needed help.
With the help of his girlfriend and the mother of his children, Aocean Clarke, Brandon Chastang finally decided to get help. "On January 21, 2018, I owned my addiction by admitting myself into a place called Armes Acres, a drug and alcohol rehab facility," shared Brandon. "The first two weeks were hard for me because I really wanted to leave. Once I heard about the mountain lions and coyotes, I said I was staying. During my last two weeks, I made a decision to help others with drug addiction and mental health issues when I go home. I will also be the top motivator in the world and create skits on social media to spread awareness," he added.
Nowadays, Brandon Chastang has become a new man. He realized that his life's purpose was to become an instrument to help others recover from their drug addictions. Through his newfound knowledge, he continues to spread his positive message to the world by becoming a motivational speaker who speaks about addiction, mental health, gun violence, education, and the importance of eating healthy.
Brandon Chastang's story is a story of success and overcoming the painful obstacle of addiction. As he tells his story to the world, he pushes others to use their voice to impact positive change within their communities. "Your past doesn't define who you are today. Don't be ashamed of your story. Be ashamed if there's no ending to your story. Learn from your life, the ups and downs, the lefts and rights. Actions speak louder than words, but character speaks louder than actions," shared Brandon.
Brandon's success has translated into various successful ventures of his own. Namely, his own dental academy known as COYS Dental Academy, one of the first Black-owned dental academies in the world. COYS Dental Academy trains students to become dental assistants in two weeks. Brandon Chastang also performs community outreach in Philadelphia and Queens, New York, with a company known as Life Camp Inc.
Brandon Chastang firmly believes that others may achieve the success that he has acquired with the help of his loved ones and solid support groups. He hopes to create a better world for struggling addicts by setting an example and telling his profound story of overcoming his own addiction. There's nowhere to go but up for Brandon and his audience, and he hopes to continue on towards this path of success down the line.
