This standard is valid until May 13, 2022.
The requirements in the Directive on the Management of Real Property and its appended Standard on Barrier-Free Access to Real Property take effect on May 13, 2021; however, departments have 12 months to fully transition to the new instrument.
During the transition period, custodial departments may adhere to the requirements described in either of the following:
the Directive on the Management of Real Property
the Accessibility Standard for Real Property
This standard is effective November 1, 2006.
This standard applies to all departments within the meaning of section 2 of the Financial Administration Act, unless specific acts or regulations override it.
The Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) gives effect to the principle that all individuals should have equal opportunity to have their needs accommodated, consistent with their duties and obligations and to function as members of society, without being hindered in, or prevented from, doing so by discriminatory practices.
The CHRA prohibits discrimination in the provision of goods, services, facilities or accommodation customarily available to the general public and prohibits the adverse differentiation between individuals.
The Treasury Board Policy on the Management of Real Property holds Deputy Heads responsible for providing barrier-free access to, use of and exit from real property in accordance with this standard. This standard establishes minimum requirements for the accessibility of real property to meet the objectives of the policy.
This standard is issued pursuant to the Financial Administration Act, subsections 7(1), 9(1.1), 9(2) and the Federal Real Property and Federal Immovables Act, subsection 16(4).
5. Accessibility requirements
5.1. In the management of real property, custodians shall at a minimum, provide access to and use of the following:
Entrances. Frequently used points of access to the property must be equipped with a power door operator at main entrances to real property. Where entry to or exit from the facility is through a series of doors in a vestibule-like arrangement, at least one complete set of doors allowing access to the vestibule area shall be so equipped.
Passenger elevators.
Public areas (including, but not limited to, cafeterias, lounges, recreation areas, eating areas, patios, libraries, and walkways).
Federal work areas (including, but not limited to, offices, on-floor storage areas, meeting and training rooms, computer rooms and spaces for business machines).
Interior doors and corridors.
Washrooms.
Public telephones. When banks of public telephones are provided, there must be at least one public telephone per bank accessible to persons in wheelchairs and one public telephone per bank accessible to persons with hearing impairments. All direct-line telephones and at least one charge-a-call telephone, when provided, shall be similarly accessible.
Drinking fountains. One accessible cooler or fountain shall be provided in each location where water coolers or drinking fountains are provided.
Tactile signage. Tactile signs shall be provided for the following: washrooms, emergency exits, elevators and stairwells.
Where employee or visitor parking is provided, the quantity of accessible parking spaces provided shall conform with municipal by-laws or the following table, whichever has the higher number of accessible spaces:
Minimum No. of Accessible Spaces
up to 25 1 151–200 6
26–50 2 201–300 7
76–100 4 401–500 9
101–150 5 more than 500 2% of total
Accessible parking spaces shall be within a reasonable and safe proximity of the federal facility but may be distributed among distinct parking areas.
Accessibility shall include routes from accessible parking areas, local public transit stops and all drop-off areas that are within the limits of the federal property to main entrances.
Accessible seating spaces shall be provided within auditoriums, theatres and other general assembly areas in the quantities identified in the National Building Code of Canada.
Classrooms, auditoriums, meeting rooms and theatres of more than 100 square metres shall be equipped with an assistive listening system encompassing the entire seating area.
5.2. In meeting accessibility requirements for real property, departments shall apply the technical standard found in the publication entitled "Accessible Design For the Built Environment'' (CAN/CSA-B651).
Note: The current version of the CSA technical standard applies to the accessibility requirements of real property acquired (including lease renewal), under construction, or undergoing major refit since the date of publication. It does not apply retroactively to accessibility requirements of existing federal real property prior to the date of its publication.
5.3. For Crown-leased real property outside Canada, custodians shall make best efforts to meet the standard.
5.4. Departments shall adapt residential units to the technical standard when employees or their immediate dependants require accessibility.
Exemptions and minor variations
5.5. Certain elements of real property may be exempted from the full accessibility requirements unless the intended use requires public access or the job requirements are such that a person with a disability could meet these requirements. Custodians shall establish internal procedures for identifying and seeking the deputy head's approval of full or partial exemptions from the accessibility requirements of this standard. They shall document the rationale for these exemptions and maintain records of all real property that is partially or fully exempted in accordance with this standard.
5.6. If the criteria that justified the exemption change, the custodian shall reassess the real property against this standard to ensure that the exemption is still justified.
5.7. Custodians may allow minor variations from the accessibility requirements of this standard (including the technical standard). However, such variations shall be consistent with the general intent of this standard and shall not affect the general accessibility of a specific property.
5.8. Where the accessibility requirements of this standard will significantly reduce the heritage quality of the property, some deviation from this standard is permitted. In deviating from the standard, custodians shall ensure that the following requirements are met:
access shall be provided to at least one main level of the building;
there shall be full access to government services and employment opportunities;
where washroom facilities are provided in an inaccessible location, equivalent facilities that are accessible shall also be provided; and
for inaccessible exhibitions, another version of the exhibition, such as a video display, shall be provided in an accessible area.

Q: puppet remote command execution without agent configuration Which puppet module to used (How to configure), so that it can execute command in the remote machine, without using any puppet agent

for example from HOST-A, a puppet script to be executed and it takes the command and execute the command in HOST-B
what i know is the openssh keys can be used to exchange the login info, then after the command can be executed, what i'm missing is is there any module available that do this job, so that, just adding the command the same can be achieved
This is coming from the ANsible background

A: You maybe looking for mcollective/live management feature of puppet which allows you to run ad-hoc commands on the nodes. However you will have to install mcollective agents on all the nodes being managed any ways.
If you compare it with Ansible, puppet does not support running ad-hoc commands inherently otherwise. It does not work over ssh like ansible does. Its not agentless by nature. You need puppet agent/apply to be installed and configured.

A: There is no built in way of achieving this, but you can use exec to execute ssh with a command to run on another machine. The command to execute would be the same as what you would use from the shell.

A: you need jump out from the pit what you know about Ansible when thinking of puppet, they are different.
Puppet works for final status called idempotency, ansible is as batch ssh scripts.
The rest, @Gourav has been explained clearly.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche brought a good dose of reality to an event organized by the World Affairs Council of Washington, which was to discuss the issue of "Where Is Ukraine Going?" The speakers included Nadia Diuk, a long time operative for the Democratic Party's National Endowment for Democracy and John Herbst, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine during the Orange Revolution. Needless to say, it was arranged as something of a support rally for Euromaidan and a condemnation of Russia. The EIR's Bill Jones was the first speaker, who went after the involvement of the neo-Nazi Svoboda organization and the danger of war with Russia coming out this confrontational Western policy, both of which were pooh-poohed by the speakers, with Nadia Diuk, insisting that the leader, Oleh Tiahnyibok, had rejected the anti-Semitism of Svoboda. Some of the other questioners, however, also intervened to express their concern about Svoboda.
But the real highlight of the evening was the intervention by Zepp-LaRouche, which virtually left the speakers speechless and invalidated everything that they had said. Zepp-LaRouche went through the statements by the Russian military, noting how the EU membership issue was really an open-door to NATO affiliation, based on the policy of encirclement of Russia, which has been the predominant orientation of the West over the last decades. She noted that the Russians had made very clear that such a development in Ukraine would represent a direct threat to them and would be considered a casus belli.
She then addressed her comments to each speaker, pointing out what they had carefully ignored in their presentation, underlining, in particular, the insanity in wanting to join the EU, which probably would cease to exist within a short period of time. She also pointed out, referring to one of the speakers who had addressed the issue of the actions of the Ukrainian police, that in Greece the EU Troika had imposed virtual police-state measures to prevent people demonstrating against the EU conditionalities.
On many faces in the audience there was a look of pure elation at Helga's comments, with a few people even starting to applaud, and it was probably only in deference to the rather crestfallen speakers that she didn't get a standing ovation. The speakers were really at a loss for words, with Diuk simply babbling about how she had never heard anyone talking about "encirclement" – ever. At the wine-and-cheese reception following the event, there were many people who came up to congratulate Helga, wanting to engage her in discussion.

Located in the Bucks County Enterprise Zone, an area where poverty and unemployment rates are among the county's highest, this 45-acre property along the Delaware River has a history of industrial uses. It was originally a ship building facility in the early 1900s. In 1940 it was used for storage of salt products, and in 1943 the federal government acquired the property for aluminum refining and cryolite production. Beginning in 1950, the property was used for blending chemicals for cleaning and lubricating agents, as well as the repackaging of bulk materials including refrigerants and hydrochloric acid. In 1989, the property was sold to Atochem and used for the repackaging and warehousing of Forane, a refrigerant. The property was vacant from 1997 until 2000, when it was acquired by Bensalem Redevelopment, LP. Prior to 2003, environmental assessments were completed on portions of the property. In order to combat the blight and vacancies affecting the community, in 2003, using a $200,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and a match of $100,000 from Bensalem Township, an assessment of the property was conducted and a work plan for cleanup was developed. In 2005, the Redevelopment Authority was awarded a $200,000 EPA Brownfields Cleanup grant and a $975,000 EPA RLF grant. The RDA used its RLF grant to loan to the property developer, Mignatti Companies, to assist with cleanup.
Key Accomplishments:
Leveraged $5.3 million in loan funds for the cleanup from PENNVEST
Reduced threats to human health and the environment caused by nearly 100 years of various industry waste
Redeveloping the site as a mixed-use area to create jobs, increase revenue, and serve as a catalyst to revitalize nearby brownfields
Provided public access to the Delaware River riverfront
Brownfields funding was used to clean up hazardous substances, including volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides and arsenic at the Riverfront South Bensalem site. Grant funds were also used for public health monitoring at the site, and community notification and outreach. This public health initiative is particularly important, as nearly 60,000 people live in the target area around the Riverfront South Bensalem cleanup site. Cleanup of the site has reduced threats to human health and the environment caused by nearly 100 years of waste release from various industries. The Redevelopment Authority, in partnership with Mignatti Companies, has begun to develop the site as a mixed-use area that will include housing, office and retail space, restaurants, and greenspace. This redevelopment will create jobs, increase tax revenues, and serve as a catalyst to return other brownfields in the area to productive use. In addition, this project has created new opportunities for homes and recreation along the Delaware River riverfront. A community site plan has been developed for a new neighborhood on the site that will be adjacent to a public park and remediated wetland along the riverfront.

Chordal Tension: The Music of The Third Man
Writer: Graham Greene
Cast: Joseph Cotton, Alida Vali, Orson Welles
The Austrian zither is synonymous with The Third Man (1949), considered by many cineastes to be one of the greatest films of all time. A combination of guitar and harp, it is a five-string fretboard that belongs to the piano family and is played with the left hand.
The pleasant and alluring signature sound of the zither score starts with the eponymous theme tune – re-titled 'The Harry Lime Theme' in the UK after Orson Welles's character. This seemingly inauspicious musical moment singlehandedly introduced the post-war world to a very unusual Austrian instrument. 'The Third Man Theme' enjoyed 11 weeks at number one in America. This kind of stand-alone success didn't go unnoticed by the movie moguls. It pioneered the use of soundtracks to market and sell films.
Like all the best innovations and cultural phenomena this paradigm shift was entirely down to chance. Director Carol Reed was picking up carafes of wine for his crew when he spotted Viennese local Anton Karas playing the zither for pennies in the courtyard of a small sausage restaurant on the outskirts of Vienna. It was the first time Reed had heard this strange instrument. His mind raced as he wondered if it could carry a whole film score.
Karas was a virtuoso; he'd been playing ever since he found a concert zither in his attic in 1918 aged just 12. Reed brought him back to his Austrian hotel and after successfully testing recordings of the zither with rushes from the film he invited the stunned Karas to score the music for The Third Man.
The Austrian musician spoke no English and initially took some convincing to come to London. Eventually one night he asked Reed to listen to a new tune he'd done – this turned out to be the first recorded version of 'The Third Man Theme'. Reed loved it and, unappreciative of the skills required, asked him why he hadn't played that before. Karas supposedly told him that the tune takes a lot out of your fingers.
In the wake of The Third Man's success the venues for Karas's performances changed dramatically. He was invited to play the zither for Princess Margaret in Buckingham Palace and for the Pope in Rome. With the money he made from the film Karas bought a bar in Grenzing, Austria… and called it 'The Third Man'.

Since over half of Islamic doctrine is about Kafirs (non-Muslims), it follows that prayers would include Kafirs too, so every day, a Muslim prays for the punishment and suffering of all Kafirs. The prayers also follow the Koranic doctrine that Muslims are not to be a true friend of them. Muslims are to forsake and turn away from Kafirs. Not only are all Kafirs to suffer punishment in hell, but Christians and Jews are singled out to be worthy of Allah's anger and are condemned in their beliefs.

The overarching goal is create a great looking website that includes just the bare basics of what people need to know to get their passport expedited. The look and feel should be modern, clean and uncluttered. It should make visitors feel comfortable that Allstar will make this annoying, time consuming process simple and easy for them. Think of the way Google's home page seems refreshing and uncluttered when compared to its competitors. Refreshingly simple, but done with style. That is what we want.
Its a family business so the site has to be something we can manage in Dreamweaver, no fancy stuff. We want to use essentially the same few template pages to build the entire site. Remember, we definitely want a very attractive design, just not cluttered or overly complicated.
Large fonts and large, attractive buttons should be used.
A great color scheme that compliments the logo.

No NBA title, but big Cleveland tax take
Jun. 23, 2015 /
LeBron James and the Cavaliers fell short in their NBA title quest, but Cleveland made out like a tax champion.
City officials say they pocketed almost $1.4 million in ticket taxes for the three finals games the Cavaliers hosted at the Quicken Loans Arena, popularly known as The Q.
The money came from Cleveland's 8% city admissions tax, which applies to tickets sold through the Cavaliers' box office as well as on tickets purchased online.
The higher price of playoff tickets obviously helped increase the tax take, as did the fact that the Cavaliers played the maximum home games in the professional basketball league's championship final round.
Other sports taxes
NBA ticket taxes, however, are not the only way Cleveland wins. The Q, part of a larger city revitalization effort in the 1990s, also is home to other area sports franchises and hosts a variety of concerts and special events. When those performers and athletes come to town, the city also collects via its jock tax on a portion of their pay.
Such entertainment options, as well as the potential tax revenue, helped sell Ohio voters on the alcohol and tobacco taxes used to get the project off the ground 25 years ago. And despite the lack of a major sports title, Cuyahoga County voters last year approved extending those sin taxes for 20 more years to pay for maintenance and upgrades to the region's NBA, NFL and MLB facilities.
Now the Cavs are seeking more taxpayer support for a planned overhaul of The Q.
Poor taxes for rich teams
Sin and other sales taxes are commonly used to help fund sports facilities.
But these types of taxes are inherently regressive. They hurt the poorest consumers, who must pay a larger percentage of their income to purchase the taxable products.
And in addition to being inequitably distributed, opponents of such a funding mechanism say that the public money is used to support what are essentially vanity projects of very rich owners.
But wait. There's more to argue against using tax dollars for sports venues. As my Bankrate colleague Mark Hamrick recently noted, taxpayer-supported stadiums are a bad deal. He cites a recent analysis that finds that sports stadiums in particular do not generate much economic activity when it comes to earnings for the area, jobs or even tax revenues.
Fans support tax dollars for teams
Still, governmental jurisdictions and their sports-loving fans across the country are almost begging to underwrite such projects. Why? Because sports involve much more than just dollars, at least when it comes to those who love the games.
I must admit that when the hubby and I lived in Maryland, we voted to allow use of some of our state taxes to build a new stadium that became home of the two-time NFL champion Baltimore Ravens. We had seen the Baltimore Colts literally moved out of town in the middle of the night and, dang it, we wanted another football team whatever the cost! We're back in Texas, but are still fans.
For all you long-time readers who are confused that I, a native Texan back in the Lone Star State, support a Maryland football team, here's the deal: We lived almost 20 years in the Old Line State. It was easy to root for the Baltimore Colts, then the Ravens, since they were and are in the AFC, not in the NFC like our beloved Dallas Cowboys.
And about those Cowboys. Owner Jerry Jones did pay most of the more than $1 billion it cost to build the new home for America's Team. So private funding of professional sports facilities can happen.
But take it from me, a lifelong Cowboys fan, the price can be even dearer than the tax costs. You get someone like Jerry as your team's owner!
Have you ever voted to spend tax dollars on a sports team? Do you think it paid off?

It's the 1st Wednesday of the month again. That's when I take part in Alex J. Cavanaugh's Insecure Writer's Support Group. I encourage you to check out their website and even sign up for the IWSG Newsletter. Today I'm going to explore my writing goals, past, present, and future as I answer the #IWSG question for July.
My writing goals were very romantic.
I can't imagine writing a poem now.
Throwing up walls to protect my heart.
But, on the outside, it's, "Just the facts ma'am.
I graduated from the Minnesota Center for Arts Education. I knew that I wanted to write, and journalism seemed like the practical route to take. I had no idea of the politics I would encounter in that area of study. And, like most journalists, I couldn't keep what I thought to myself. That alienated me from the people I needed to know to get ahead and achieve my writing goals. I was young, foolish. I gave birth to my first daughter. Two years later I married her father. I spent my energy walking on eggshells in an abusive marriage. Journalism was not to be.
When I journaled, I wrote letters to God. I was a new Christian, and this was my new way of getting all of my feelings out and onto paper. It helped me to be as honest as possible in my writing, even though it would be kept between me and the Lord. The Lord was the only one I could go to with my troubles. So, journaling was the only one of my writing goals I continued to spend time on. It was an emotional outlet. My real goal was emotional survival. This goal was achieved.
I journaled in many ways. I complained, set goals, and even had a gratitude journal. That was the one in which I only wrote about the positive things in life. Things had gotten so bad that I had to find a way to dig the good out of each day and pour it onto paper to remind me that there was hope. It helped me keep my priorities straight. Those priorities were my three little girls.
When my ex-husband left, I had a friend who told me to write down a list of everything I ever wanted in a husband and send it to the Lord. So I did. And, He answered.
I met Dan at Sunday school. We kept running into one another and eventually he introduced himself to me. It truly was love at first sight. We danced around for months before we began writing one another. Then, eventually we spoke on the phone and a while later went for coffee. It was as if God searched for everything on my wishlist and plopped all of those characteristics into Dan. I knew this was the man I would marry, and in October on 2009, I did. Another of my writing goals achieved!
I sat down and read all of the journals I'd kept in the previous decade. I could see very clearly where I had made mistakes and wrong turns. The good thing about that was I could tell I was healthier, now, and wouldn't make those same mistakes. I had chosen well in my husband to be. I would have burned those journals if I had a safe way to do it, but since I didn't, I threw all of my journals away in a dumpster. I was starting fresh and didn't want to hang on to those memories any longer. My writing goals had never included emotional healing, but I got it, anyway.
I married that wonderful man and stopped journaling for the most part. I was too busy loving my life. And that was okay.
I even wrote some pieces for a Christian magazine. As our children grew older, I found myself envying these younger writers who still had their craft at the top of their priorities list. Then I realized that I had every opportunity in the world to write and it was my fault for not grabbing ahold of them.
I thought I would write fiction. I began with a cozy mystery (which I'm still working on). I got sidetracked by cancer. My husband was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 2012. As an effort to help people understand what patients and their caregivers want, in terms of support, I wrote, Facing Cancer as a Friend: How to Support Someone who has Cancer.
Everything I read said that I needed a blog in order to market my book.
So I began Heather Erickson Author/Writer/Speaker. I intended for it to be about my writing, in general. After all, I was working on my mystery novel. It wasn't all going to be about cancer. I never wanted to write about cancer, but soon, I was writing about it all the time. People wanted to read about it and we did have a story to tell. Soon, I was writing another book about cancer, just recently released, called Facing Cancer as a Parent: Helping Your Children Cope with Your Cancer.
I needed to do something about the blog issue. The blog issue was that I had a domain name that I wasn't using: Facing Cancer with Grace. So I made the bold move of separating my blogs. It felt like separating conjoined twins. The procedure went well, though. Now, cancer posts are on Facing Cancer with Grace, and writing posts are on Heather Erickson Author/Writer/Speaker.
It seemed so personal. And it was such a commitment. I had a hard time getting posts up on a regular basis. I had bought into the idea that I needed a muse of sorts to inspire my writing. It also felt like my blogs were competing with my other writing projects. If I had to work on a book, the blogging seemed to stagnate.
Then, I figured out how to have harmony in my writing life.
I made peace with writing about living with cancer. It's not something I'm going to do forever, but it is what I know. Writing as a caregiver is somewhat unique. People want to hear from patients, themselves, but caregivers have something to add to the conversation. They have their own insights, needs, and perspectives.
I have also made peace with blogging. It's my platform and an art in and of itself.
Facing Cancer as a Parent is now available!
How have your goals changed over the years?
Thanks Heather for your honesty and transparency. When we are going through our life we often don't recognize God's hands directing, arranging, guiding, and lifting us up. Then we look back through the eyes of faith and from the perspective of time and many events become clear.
Your life's story is a blessing and I am happy that you are open enough to write about it.
Life can't help but change the idealism of youth. Not good or bad, in either direction, just truth. God put you exactly where you needed to be with your writing, don't you think?
Hi Jacqui. I agree with you. We were recently at a family gathering and some men were discussing their career paths. My brother-in-law who is a deep thinker and enjoys statistics said, "I wonder what percentage of people are in a job because they followed an intentional career path, and how many are in one because they stumbled into it." His guess was that far more people fit into the latter category. When I was in Morocco, they were telling me that kids choose either a STEM career or a business career path at a young age (I think 12), and they are stuck on that track. To veer from it would leave them with only manual labor or another job that doesn't require an education. That sounds a little intimidating.
That's a great description of how your writing has evolved. Most of us evolve the more we live. Glad the writing got you to a good place.
Thank you, Liz. I am, too. I'm surprised at how long it took me to pick up the pen again after my break to raise kids. I do wish I had pursued it at an earlier age. I have an amazing niece who is a writer. She is diligent and focused. She knows what she wants and is going after it. I'm terribly proud of her, and a bit envious. So, I try to keep my own kids on track to follow their dreams. Have a great week!
I love hearing your writing story. And I'm so excited your book is on Amazon!! Going to go review it now. Congratulations on finishing it!!
Hi Nancy. Thank you for your kind review. I really appreciated your feedback during the editing process. I learned so much as I wrote this book. I pray it helps other families going through this journey. Bless you!
My writing goals really haven't changed much. The most change I've had is going from hobby to trying to make a living and back and forth depending on if I had a day job or not.
Hi Patricia. That is really my ultimate, ultimate goal. It's just so far away that I try not to think about it. I try to look back at how far I've come rather than how far I have yet to go, otherwise, I might get discouraged. Have a great week!
It's fascinating to read about your life as traced through changes in your writing goals. That speaks to how important writing is to you, how central it is your identity. And we all benefit from that, Heather. I don't, right now, know anyone who has cancer so I wouldn't have learned of your book if you didn't blog. I don't know how you made peace with blogging but I'm grateful that you did.
Hi Karen. I'm glad, too. Blogging has opened up a whole new world for me full of wonderful writers, artists, and friends like you. Writing, for me, feels as important as eating. It really sustains me. Blogging is one more expression of that. Have a wonderful week!

Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival Archives
THE 2020 SEASON: "IMAGINE BETTER" (Season Suspended due to the Covid 19 outbreak)
The Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies is pleased to announce the 27th annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival, "Imagine Better". What we imagine fuels our intentions. The 27th annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival asks us to Imagine Better. This season we present films from around the world offering creative, often startlingly original visions that rethink approaches to myriad environmental challenges encounters with otherness various kinds and our very understanding of fantasy, history, family, friends, and neighbors. If the future we imagine is the future we get, then we desperately need to imagine better: we need to better our powers of imagination so that we can imagine better possibilities. Collectively, the works in the season's program suggest just how we might do that as they imagine alternatives to familiar patterns of thinking, relating, and being. Traversing imaginative stories and fantastic encounters from Israel and Palestine to Iceland and Japan, from intersectional Chicago to a field in Maine seen through multiple perspectives, the films of this year's Festival creatively cross borders and cross-up border enforcement, celebrate youth and honor age, and they show how opportunities are created by imagining possiblities. They ask us, they show us, and they hope that we can learn to Imagine Better.
THE 2019 SEASON: "OFF-TRACK"
The 26th annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival is pleased to go "Off Track." This spring's Festival presents a season of the unexpected, with orphaned, amateur, experimental, and underground films as well as narrative and documentary films in which characters go off track and encounter what they never anticipated. Together these films show us how filmmaking can be democratic and accessible and esoteric and extraordinary.
THE 2018 SEASON: 25th anniversary: "FILM LIVES!"
The Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies is pleased to announce the 25th anniversary season of the annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival, "Film Lives!" Opening its spring season on February 28, 2018, with weekly screenings through April 25, this season shines a spotlight on documentary filmmaking, primarily by women directors, foregrounding narratives of individual and collective lives in critical times.
THE 2017 SEASON: "Endings/Beginnings"
The 24th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival is pleased to present its spring season, "Endings/Beginnings" Whether art or entertainment, documentary or fiction, movies experiment with--and at times manipulate-- our sense of reality. It is often through the process of entering into a film and emerging from it that the shock of a cultural experience is most apparent. Embracing a range of genres, styles and techniques, our screenings interrogate the ways movies begin and end, proposing that openness to cinema's surprising moments may lead us to unexpected places. In so doing, the festival suggests the power of cinema to engage and mobilize in times of crisis.
THE 2016 SEASON: "Films about Film"
The 23rd Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival features films about filmmakers, both documentary and fictional; films about the power of the cinema to ignite change, both political and personal; films about stories crucial to tell, relying on the moving image. "Films about Film." Presented by the Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies, the 2016 season of the Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival, our 23rd year, brings together a unique collection of internationally produced feature films, documentaries, experimental and short subjects that reflect upon the medium of cinema itself. Hosting filmmakers throughout the season and featuring both promising and established talents, this season explores cinematic possibilities, honors great personalities in film history, presents a special anniversary screening, and offers a constellation of themes that haunt filmmakers from around the world today. Together, this season's program showcases the power, the magic, and the urgent necessity of the cinema as a source of inspiration, reflection, and creative interaction. All films are accompanied by critical introductions by scholars and filmmakers. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2015 SEASON: "Dislocations"
The 22nd Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival "Dislocations," puts a spotlight on people who find themselves relocated, pushed aside, and otherwise threatened with invisibility by the forces of geo-politics and global economics. Hosting filmmakers, producers, archivists, and musicians this year, our festival program traverses the globe and the history of cinema to explore the ethical, ideological, moral, personal, and spatial issues that arise from an increasingly unjust distribution of wealth. The wide-ranging, eclectic body of international cinema in this year's program represents the impact of dislocation as people, livelihoods, and perception itself are subject to movement, transformation, and displacement. All films are accompanied by critical introductions by scholars and filmmakers. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2014 SEASON: "Reality Narratives"
The 21st Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival explores the blurred boundaries between documentary and fiction that have been present since the birth of cinema and that constitute a major conceptual force in contemporary filmmaking. Hosting nine filmmakers who will be present for discussion, our festival program observes the hybrid, amalgamated spaces between genres, juxtaposing methodologies and narratives that blend the "factual" with the "fictional." In so doing, the festival raises ethical questions about the "truth claims" and "reality principles" of a wide-ranging, eclectic body of international cinema, recasting conventional definitions and distinctions in a variety of works and styles. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2013 SEASON: "Continuities"
The entertaining and provocative selection for the 20rd Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival features award-winning narrative features and documentaries from France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Spain, and the US. We are pleased to host nine filmmakers (including three accomplished Five College alums) who will be present for discussion; a colloquium on "What's European about European Cinema" with keynote speaker Thomas Elsaesser; several New England premieres; and two screenings in our directors' showcase. The Festival focuses on productions that revisit the past and interrogate the present, with special attention to European productions that highlight cultural diversity. All films are accompanied by critical introductions by scholars and filmmakers. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2012 SEASON: "Intersections: Fiction/Non-fiction"
The 19th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival headlines award-winning narrative features and documentaries from France, Iran, Germany, Mexico, Israel, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Australia, Finland, Guatemala, Palestinian Territory, and the USA. Our lineup showcases several New England premieres and hosts five acclaimed women filmmakers and video artists who will be present for discussion. This season explores the hybrid interconnections and boundaries between documentary and fiction, beyond and across borders and genres—geopolitical, transnational, generational, artistic, cultural and historical—offering a wealth of visual pleasure for every taste. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2011 SEASON: "Migrations"
The 18th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival highlights interconnections among cinema, migration, war and memory in the context of contemporary cultural and ethno-national landscapes, screening award-winning documentary and feature films from South Africa, Bosnia, Russia, Israel, Mauritius, Iran, Palestine, Spain, Mexico and the U.S. From February 2 to April 27, this season explores the primordial role played by filmmakers working in partnership beyond and across borders, whether geographical, psychological, socio-economic, cultural or historical. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2010 SEASON: "Cinematic Cities"
The 17th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival explores the dynamic, reciprocal connections between cinema and cities, showcasing newly restored silent and documentary films, international co-productions and the latest award-winning feature films from France, Brazil, the U.K., Germany, Afghanistan, Israel, Jamaica, Portugal, Italy and the U.S. In thirteen events, from February 3 to May 5, this season's films invite us to consider how urban culture, architecture, and the moving image open new spaces for transnational connections, cultural development and debate. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2009 SEASON: "Beyond Walls"
The 16th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival showcases innovative major studio releases and independent films exploring life in the post-socialist, post-communist era since 1989, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Soviet Union and its satellite East bloc regimes, and the opening of China. In fourteen events from February 11 to May 6, 2009, we feature provocative and entertaining films from Romania, Hungary, Russia, Cuba, Hong Kong, Israel, Lebanon, Korea, Germany, Turkey, China, and the Czech Republic. With a special focus on children and youth, several world and national premieres, visiting filmmakers, and a distinguished lecture, the Festival promises to engage audiences in lively debate and discussion. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2008 SEASON: "Africanicities: Conflict and Community"
The 15rd Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival turns the spotlight on Africa and the African American diaspora, bringing to the screen brave and challenging films addressing human suffering, resilience, creativity, and the global struggle for justice. Beginning with a tribute to the great Senegalese filmmaker, Ousmane Sembene, we invite our audiences to experience new cinema and modes of storytelling from Chad, Mali, Cameroon, and the Americas that explore the Black experience today. Our special mini-series – "Landscapes of Violence" – features provocative films from Bosnia, Darfur, Indonesia and the U.S on the problematics of war and terrorism. Accompanied by conferences, introduced by visiting filmmakers and scholars, the 2008 MMFF invites you to thirteen weeks of cinema that will engage students, faculty and the wider community in lively debate and discussion. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2007 SEASON: "Encuentros/Encounters: New Cinema of Latin America & Spain"
The 14th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival "Encuentros/Encounters" showcases innovative new works of feature and documentary filmmakers from across Latin America, Cuba, Mexico, and Spain. We invite our audience to encounter the remarkable achievements of both well-established and young, first-time filmmakers many of whom collaborate across national boundaries to give us insight into new social movements, vibrant musical traditions, complex histories, and evolving constellations of identity, culture and politics. With over sixteen films introduced by our guest scholars, filmmakers, and curators, "Encuentros/Encounters" proposes a rich and diverse cinematic exploration of crossings and encounters of many kinds — across lines of race, class, language and religion — provocative and engaging. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2006 SEASON: "World Cinema Now"
The 13th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival showcases the brilliant accomplishments of feature and documentary films by independent filmmakers worldwide, featuring innovative productions from Canada, Cameroon, India, Mexico, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Palestine, Russia, People's Republic of China, Tibet, and the U.S.A. We invite our audience to consider the remarkable achievements of contemporary filmmakers who overcome the daunting challenges of production outside traditional film industry structures and whose works encounter increasing difficulty in finding U.S. distribution and exhibition. Through visiting residencies by two of contemporary world cinema's most dynamic and challenging figures—Jean-Marie Teno and Ferzan Özpetek—the festival offers a powerful tribute to independent filmmakers who experiment with ingenious formal and narrative strategies that expand the horizons of motion pictures. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2005 SEASON: "New Faces of Documentary"
The 12th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival opened its spring season on February 9, presenting the best of new international cinema beyond the Hollywood paradigm. This year's focus is on documentary, experimental, non-fiction and biographical films, bringing to the Valley a dynamic group of directors, screenwriters, and scholars eager to engage our audience in lively debate and discussion. Curated by the Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the Festival screenings are free and open to the public on Wednesday evenings, February 9-May 4 at the University and in the Five Colleges. Unless otherwise noted, all screenings are in the Isenberg School of Management Flavin Family Auditorium (SOM 137) at 7:30 p.m. For the first time, the Festival's theme spotlights a single category of filmmaking--documentary , a genre as old as cinema itself. Whether making ethnographic, propagandistic, or educational films, documentarians traditionally have aspired to some form of objectivity. Recently, however, new kinds of documentary have emerged in which the filmmaker may also become the subject of the work, and the boundaries between truth and fiction are blurred. Whether chronicling family history, sexual identity, or a personal or social world, some in this new generation of nonfiction filmmakers have embraced autobiography. Others, including recent large-scale Hollywood films, have focused on biography and the "bio-pic". Our festival focuses on examples of these new approaches, including such non-traditional practices as the essay film and the video confession, broadening definitions of what counts as documentary and exploring issues at stake in that expansion. The films we have selected foreground intersections of the personal and political, considering how memory and the media complicate questions of identity, oppression, and resiliency. All events are free and open to the public.
THE 2004 SEASON: "The Global Lens"
THE 2003 SEASON: "Film and the Arts"
THE 2001 SEASON: "Border Crossing: Cinema and Video at Century's Turn"

Femailler on Felicity Smoak (again!) in Arrow
SO excited to have my jewelry worn by Felicity Smoak (portrayed by the talented Emily Bett Rickards) in Arrow AGAIN! My Petite Celestial Fused Chainmaille Drop Earrings could be seen towards the end of Season 7, Episode 10 "My Name is Emiko Queen", during a conversation between Felicity and Oliver. The full frame can be seen below:
Also in TV Appearances
Femailler on The Young and the Restless (7th & 8th time!)
Diane Jenkins (portrayed by the talented Susan Walters) wore two different pieces of Femailler jewelry in back-to-back scenes of Season 50, Episode 16 of The Young and the Restless, which aired on October 21st, 2022.
Susan wore my "Persianique" Flexible Chainmaille Hoop Earrings first, before donning my new "Basketweave" Chainmaille Station Necklace in her next scene. She really rocks both looks! You might remember Susan Walters from her role as Carol Lockwood in The Vampire Diaries, another long running TV show which has featured Femailler jewelry.
Y&R has begun celebrating its 50th year on air, which is an amazing feat. I am so honored to have my jewelry featured on some of televisions longest running shows! Seeing Femailler on TV is always surreal and delightful. 😊
Femailler Earrings Staple of Amanda Sinclair on Y&R
My Short Byzantine Chainmaille Drop Earrings had become a wardrobe staple of The Young and the Restless regular Amanda Sinclair (portrayed by the talented Mishael Morgan). It's been a delight to see Mishael's character don one of my most popular designs again and again throughout the last several seasons.
I can't wait to see where Mishael's career takes her next!
Femailler on NCIS: Hawai'i
I literally grew up watching the original NCIS, so to see my jewelry on such a great spinoff of such an iconic show, is pretty magical! In this episode, talented up-and-coming actress Chloe Csengery portrays a strong young woman named Gracie Boone, whose resilience and determination was delightful to watch — and was especially poignant given that the episode aired on the eve of International Women's Day.

Pileh Bay itself is pretty shallow and is only accessible to speedboats and long tails but doesn�t dry out at low tide. Very beautiful and excellent for swimming. At the entrance there are excellent snorkeling opportunities.

Mental Health Commissioner responds to Baillie Henderson claims
Queensland's Mental Health Commissioner Dr Lesley van Schoubroeck has responded to recent claims about patients of Toowoomba's Baillie Henderson Hospital.
A recent media article said a 'medical insider' expressed concern about the proposed transferring of patients to a new community care unit in Kearneys Spring and their supervision.
Dr van Schoubroeck said it was wrong to judge an entire centre based on a few individuals.
"It's a tragic fact that people can be assaulted in our society generally, but we should not assume that just because one person from Baillie Henderson has committed a crime, that all people there are criminals," Dr van Schoubroeck said.
"Mental illness affects not only people in Baillie Henderson but people from all parts of our community; in fact one in five people will have a mental health problem at some time in their lives.
"As a caring and compassionate society, we want everyone to have a fulfilling life and to be able to live in the community.
"Community care units are designed to help people transition from an institutional setting to independence.
"The people of Toowoomba have a proud record of giving people a fair go, as evidenced through programs like those supported by Toowoomba Clubhouse.
"They should continue to do this – and not label people who are recovering from a period of mental illness as dangerous criminals," she said.

Disney Stops Miramax From Releasing Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911" (by Eugene Hernandez, May 5, 2004) Documentary coverage presented by AFI / SilverDocs
The Walt Disney Company will not allow its specialty division, Miramax Films, to distribute Michael Moore's anticipated new documentary "Fahrenheit 911," the director said early today. Moore announced the news to his large Internet audience with a letter entitled, "Disney Has Blocked the Distribution of My New Film." The movie, which was financed by Miramax, is set to have its world premiere later this month at the Cannes Film Festival.
Moore indicated, on his website, that yesterday he was informed that Disney would not allow Miramax to distribute the new documentary that takes aim at the Bush administration.
Moore has said that the film includes an exploration of links between President Bush and Osama bin Laden's family, as well as criticism of the war in Iraq. Moore has also indicated his intention to have the new film in U.S. theaters before the upcoming presidential election, perhaps as early as this

Fantastically Great Women: Leila Berg
Fantastically Great Women: Leila Berg Seven Stories 2016-11-23
In anticipation of Kate Pankhurst bringing her book Fantastically Great Women who Changed the World to Seven Stories this week, we are delving into our archive to share the stories of great women who did remarkable things. Today, we shine the spotlight on Leila Berg.
A children's writer who was fundamental in shaping the development of children's literature in the 1960s and 1970s, Leila Berg is perhaps one of the most progressive women in our collection.
As a journalist and a writer, Leila wrote and edited the Nippers (1971) series for early readers. Leila's primary aim of the series was for working-class children to recognise themselves in what they were reading for the first time. She did this by representing familiar experiences in family life through familiar language that young people would hear every day (using the word 'Mam' rather than 'Mother'), which created a meaningful sense of place.
"[…] at least the first books [children are given in schools]…might underline their identity, cherish it, and build from there…But what is it they are given? They are given readers about a family that lives in a detached house…mother who says 'Good morning, children' and children who say 'Good morning, mother'…a family who never has to clock on. If anything could completely confirm for this child what he has already dimly suspected through his growing five years – that he and his family and friends and his street are worthless and expendable – it is the orthodox school reader. As far as they are concerned, he does not exist."
- Leila Berg, Reading and Loving (1977), p. 75
The books also broke new ground in their complexity of language. Leila sat in school playgrounds, listening and talking with the children to get a better understanding of how children spoke to each other. She was struck by their use of words such as "accident" and "ambulance", rather than the simple, monosyllabic words that were typical in children's books at the time and wrote accordingly. For the first time, an author was speaking the true language of children.
The positive reception that Nippers drew prompted Leila to write Little Nippers for under-fives and also influenced her later titles, although some weren't always greeted with the same level of praise. Fish and Chips for Supper (1968) sparked outrage for its bleak (but realistic) depiction of family life, as critics initially claimed that the book was too devoid of optimism and would not benefit young readers. However, attitudes began to slowly shift in favour of the book as more authors adopted the use of realism in their work. Yet again, Leila was ahead of the curve.
Until her death in 2012, Leila campaigned for the recognition of the value of children, and the importance of providing both home and school environments which respect the language of children and their own ways of expressing themselves. She pushed reading for pleasure as crucial to the successful development of children and educated adults in how to encourage a love of reading in young people.
We at Seven Stories are privileged to keep Leila's legacy alive through our collection. Between her pioneering writing style and her years of activism for children's reading, Leila Berg truly was a Fantastically Great Woman.
Kate Pankhurst and Fantastically Great Women who Changed the World come to Seven Stories on Saturday 26thNovember at 2pm.
£3 per person, admission required. Suitable for ages 5-8. Supported by Bloomsbury Publishing.

Steph Curry shares thoughts on Masai Ujiri-deputy NBA Finals incident
By Ali Thanawalla June 22, 2019 6:16 PM
Steph Curry didn't witness the incident between Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri and a sheriff's deputy in the moments after Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Curry was busy trying to process how his Golden State Warriors had just lost the NBA title to Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Curry told the newspaper that at the time, he was unaware of the incident, but that he saw a visibly shaken Ujiri after the Raptors' celebration.
"You know what's crazy? I saw him after," Curry told The Times. "I didn't know anything about this situation. But looking back, I saw his face and I could tell something had happened."
Over the last few weeks, varying sides of the story have come out. The Alameda Country Sheriff's Office told NBC Sports Washington that Ujiri struck and pushed the deputy as he tried to gain access to the Oracle Arena floor to celebrate the Raptors' championship win.
Later, an eyewitness told the Associated Press that Ujiri never struck the deputy. Then, this week, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office showed images to The Globe and Mail newspaper depicting an altercation between Ujiri and the deputy.
[RELATED: Curry reveals only regret in career]
Curry, surprisingly, brought race into the equation.
"If he didn't do anything wrong, obviously, you'd hope that it was handled in a better fashion," Curry told The Times. "Especially for a guy that was going out and trying to celebrate with his team that had done something historical. So I don't know if that was a white G.M. or whatever, if that's handled differently. You can always play the what-if game."

2020 NBA MVP odds: Warriors star Steph Curry given second-best chance
By Alex Didion July 18, 2019 9:17 AM
Finding yourself in a group with former NBA superstars like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Moses Malone is something every basketball player would dream of growing up. According to Caesars Palace, Steph Curry has very good odds to do just that as he looks to become a three-time NBA MVP winner, putting him in rarified air along with Magic, Bird, and Malone.
Will the Greek Freak repeat as MVP? 🤔

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who won the award this past season, remains the betting favorite to hoist the Maurice Podoloff trophy next June with +300 odds.
Rockets guard James Harden has been in the top three of MVP voting in each of the past three seasons and sits just behind Curry with a +600 chance.

Warriors could feel Kevin Durant's loss more on defense than offense
By Brian Witt July 17, 2019 2:44 PM
Much has been made of the offensive firepower that has departed the Warriors since they lost to the Raptors in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals. Kevin Durant has taken his talents to Brooklyn. Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston -- two critical members of Golden State's dynasty -- are no longer with the team. Klay Thompson, coming off a torn ACL, is expected to miss a large chunk of next season.
And yet, those collective departures could potentially have a more drastic effect on the Warriors' defense.
Yes, for the last several years, the Dubs have been renowned for their explosive offense, but they've always been a good-to-great defensive team under Steve Kerr. A lot of that is due to players like Draymond Green, but there's reason to believe Golden State's defense could take a step or two back next season.
Using FiveThirtyEight's new DRAYMOND rating system, the Warriors have lost three of their six best defenders from last season according to Bleacher Report's Will Gottlieb -- and that doesn't include Thompson, who will be out a while.
dubsdefense.png
In losing Durant, Iguodala and Livingston, FiveThirtyEight projects the Warriors will lose 1.2 points per 100 possessions of defensive value based on the team's cumulative scoring defense alone. It's worth noting, however, that in order to qualify for that metric, a player must have played at least 10,0000 possessions over the last six seasons combined. So, the Warriors' 2019-20 DRAYMOND rating doesn't factor in Golden State newcomer Glenn Robinson III, nor any of the Warriors' 2019 draft picks.
As such, it's possible the dropoff might not be as severe as FiveThirtyEight projects, assuming those newcomers prove to be solid defensive players. Then again, it could also go the other way if they prove to be poor defenders. One must also consider the possibility that the seven veterans that are included in Golden State's 2019-20 DRAYMOND projection outperform their individual projections.
For instance, Draymond Green's career DRAYMOND rating of plus-3.2 points per 100 possessions is considerably better than his 2018-19 DRAYMOND rating of plus-1.76. The 2019-20 projection assumes Green will perform at an identical defensive level, even though it's reasonable to assume he'll outperform it, based on both track record and necessity.
[RELATED: Why Doug Gottlieb is very wrong about Draymond's place in NBA]
If the Warriors are going to get back to the playoffs for a seventh consecutive season, it will require certain individuals to step up defensively. Green will lead the charge, no doubt, and should enter next season as one of the front-runners for Defensive Player of the Year. But it's got to be a group effort, or else replacing Durant, Iguodala and Livingston's combined 35.7 points per game won't be the biggest of Golden State's problems.

I'm pledging a fraternity and I want to run for an officer position immediately after I pledge. Everyone is telling me it is a huge mistake and that I should wait. I really want to be the New Member Educator next semester, but I fear it isn't for me. Can you tell me what options I have?
How do I instill pride into my pledges?
My fraternity consistently has struggled the past two years to initiate a high percentage of the men we recruit. Typically, we recruit around 20 men, but initiate somewhere around 12-14.
My fraternity initiation is on Sunday and I'm not sure if I should go through with it. I love all my brothers but I'm afraid to be honest with them. They are so open with me and willing to help and I feel I might not be up to their standards. What should I do?
My fraternity has done the same thing year after year during our pledge period. The brothers have stopped attending pledge nights because the entire pledge program is stagnant. Can you give advice on some good events we can have that will get the brothers interested?
