Working with marine conservationists in Montego Bay and Negril, James Carrier 2013 , for instance, found that some conservationists started their career as environmental activists after first fostering highly personal attachments to specific environments. Anderson, Preface Bowling Green State University; Timothy G. These differences are what scholars mean when they refer to stages of development. Clearly, in historical or pre-industrial times, the human-induced changes were not global in scale, but localized human-wilderness interactions have defined wildernesses in place-specific ways: wilderness is constitutively a cultural idea. Personal accounts of the eviction and its aftermath are told freely to outsiders, often without solicitation and always with a certitude of the righteousness of Meru land claims. So pervasive has cultural diffusion become that the insular, isolated status of nations is probably no longer attainable for very long, even under totalitarian conditions.
The paper will start by examining how biodiversity discourse is constructed and contested. Presumably, insiders Page 21 e. Rather it was constructed around awe-inspiring vastness and grandeur. Various facets of a multitrait formal region can be seen here, including the clothing, the use of dogsleds as transportation, and hunting as a livelihood system. In a detailed analysis of Arusha National Park, I demonstrate the effects of nature protection on rural livelihoods and document the historical continuity in local responses to state preservation policies. Mangi Sante caved into the government's threats to withhold his salary and accepted the evic Page 71 tion order, in effect signing away what little support he still claimed among the Meru.
Wilderness use, conservation and tourism: what do we protect and for and from whom?
Some model-building geographers devise culture-specific models to describe and explain certain facets of spatial behavior within specific cultures. Paul had relatives living at Machame-Moshi area: a brother-in-law named Mr. As a result of this overlap, more innovations are adopted in the center, or core, of the region. Can you think of other countries where ranch houses are also common? The remainder of the parcel was eventually gazetted as part of Arusha National Park. From the perspective of park officials and wildlife conservationists, the conflict is defined by livestock trespass, illegal hunting, wood theft, and the consequent ecological costs such as species extirpation.
Similarly, the Hägerstrandian system assumes that innovations are equally beneficial to all people throughout geographical space. Concomitant with the increasing denouncement of African game legislation as inappropriate law imposed by a former colonial authority, is the attack upon traditional, i. Formal and functional regions rarely coincide spatially. By the end of the nineteenth century, landscape and nature had become almost interchangeable categories. Topophilia: A Study of Environmental Perception, Attitudes, and Values. Keese, California Polytechnic State University; Artimus Keiffer, Wittenberg University; Edward L. How can you tell that this is not a popular culture landscape? Indigenous Culture Regions Concentrations of indigenous peoples are generally in areas with few roads or modern communications systems, such as mountainous areas, vast arid and semiarid regions, or large expanses of forest or wetlands.
Caring For Nature: Anonymity, Conservation, and Jamaican Maroons.
The project exposed the fact that the energy resources in the country are a far more limited resource than has previously been assumed. In addition, if we consider culture as a way of life, then globalization is a key shaper of culture and in turn is shaped by it. This is supplemented with grasses cut from the large coffee estates at the base of the mountain, hauled up to Akheri on the heads of wives and daughters or by hired boys who pile the crops on donkey carts and bicycles. That is, spatial, temporal, and social patterns of common park violations such as grazing trespass, illegal hunting, and illegal fuelwood collecting are documented. Clan elders in council settled land disputes and inheritance claims for their clan.
The park thus serves as a persistent reminder of the continuing social, economic, and moral costs of past land alienations. Mass media such as film, print, television, radio, and, increasingly, the Internet are more influential in shaping popular culture. Dukuduku's image as a pristine indigenous forest is problematic, for it obscures local lives and histories. National park and conservation laws are at Page 35 once one part of the wider process of land and resources seizure by the colonial state, and a symbolic legitimation of that process. A number of institutions have provided funding for various stages of this study.
The cast of figures I have elaborated here had no small role to play in this process. Nature unbound: Conservation, capitalism and the future of protected areas. The expansion of settlement into these villages is complex, because the pattern of migration has been so structured by the spatial and political characteristics of colonial land alienations. It is, however, crucial to reexamine the case as the single most important event in the history of Meru resistance to the loss of customary claims on land and natural resources. They see the habitat as an integrated system of mechanisms governed by external forces that can be rendered into natural laws and understood by the human mind. In this context, tour guides not only play an important role in the experience of visitors but also in helping to ensure that tourism is socially and environmentally responsible.

The crisis in the moral economy of land sends reverberations throughout most aspects of social life in Akheri. The point is not so much that he made this division. McKee, University of Southern Mississippi; Wayne McKim, Towson State University; Douglas Meyer, Eastern Illinois University; Klaus Meyer-Arendt, Mississippi State University; John Milbauer, Northeastern State University; Cynthia A. Some scholars have suggested that globalizing processes and an increase in mobility will work to homogenize different peoples, breaking down culture regions and eventually producing a single global culture. It is an area, therefore, that is relatively homogeneous with regard to one or more cultural traits.

Francis Wayne
The Times Colonist, Victoria, BC
Watson, Francis Wayne (Frank) May 6, 1949 - March 15, 2018 It is with great sadness that our family announces the peaceful passing of Frank Watson on the evening of March 15, 2018. Frank was born on May 6, 1949 in Arichat, Cape Breton Island, NS, into the Stone family of Lynch's River. He was adopted at age 3 by his loving parents, Fred and Eileen Watson, and was raised in Victoria, BC. He attended St. Louis College, and after graduation, worked at the Times-Colonist Newspaper for 9 years. Frank then joined BC Hydro and spent the next 34 years in various departments, retiring from the Victoria Stores Dept. Frank has always been involved in community life, from St. John Ambulance (Brigade and First Aid Instructor), to his church and music involvement at St. Andrew's Cathedral in Victoria and later at St. Elizabeth's in Sidney. He also volunteered time with the Donkey Section at the Saanich Fall Fair. In later years, he found great joy through his involvement with the Sunshine Singers (at Sidney Care, Resthaven Lodge, Abbeyfield, the Shoal Centre and Mt. Newton Centre) and the Sidney Wednesday Night Acoustic Jam (at the Shoal Centre). In 2016, he was so honoured to receive a Sidney Heart of the Community Award in appreciation of his work encouraging music in our community. After being an only child for 50 years, Frank had the good fortune to meet his birth family in 1999. They embraced him with open arms and he was so grateful that they were part of his life. Losing Frankie has left a huge void in all our lives. Frank was an honourable person who always tried to live with integrity and humility. He loved his family and friends. Happiness for Frank was spending an evening with friends, chatting or playing tunes for hours on end. Frank was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Eileen Watson, his birth parents, his brothers, Billy, Peter, James, George and Albert. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Kathy and daughter, Christiane; his siblings, Kelly Clannon (Nancy), Patricia Chislett (Dave), Linda Brennan (Lionel), Joe Ambrose (Shaelene), Helen Hines (Clancy), Annabelle De Wolfe (Albert), Frank Stone (Jeanette), Harold Stone, Carl Richards (Joan); relatives Betty Stone, Serena McNeil, Eva Robertson (Ernie); sisters-in-law Ethel Stone, Alice MacDonald, Anne Kochems, Jane Hepp Robilliard, Ellen Brown (Charlie); his canine buddy, Amber Jane; as well as many cherished cousins, nieces and nephews, and dear friends who have enriched his life immeasurably. Rest in peace, Frankie. In celebration of Frank's life, a memorial tea and music jam will be held at the Shoal Centre, (10030 Resthaven Dr., Sidney, BC) on March 24, 2018 from 1 - 4 pm. Please feel free to bring memories of Frank and/or an acoustic instrument to join in the music. Flowers are gratefully declined - if desired, donations in Frank's memory may be made to the Mt. Newton Centre, The Shoal Centre or the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Music Therapy Program. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the doctors and staff of the Lung Care Unit at RJH - we will never forget your professional skills or the kindness shown to Frank and our family. Funeral Home First Memorial Funeral Services and Garden of Memories 4725 Falaise Drive Victoria, BC V8Y1B4 (250) 658-5244 Published in Victoria Times Colonist from Mar. 21 to Mar. 22, 2018

I came out here for my son, so he could be around the amazing charity I partnered with called Inspiring Children. We established a partnership where I created a Never Broken program, to help give the kids a mindfulness skill set to help them transform pain into resilience, so they can be the architects of a life they choose rather than repeat past patterns of a life they inherited.
The program teaches at risk youth sports, psychology for life and how to follow their intuition and what they know is right internally, so their external world can match that vision.
I wanted my son to be around these extraordinary kids that are dealing with so much adversity, yet finding the courage to identify their values and act on them with consistency, and work hard and lift themselves out of their born circumstance to earn scholarships to some of the best schools in the country. They are very inspiring kids indeed, and I have loved Kase getting to see these young people strive so sincerely for personal excellence. It's a great culture I wanted him around.
I'm also here working on a potential partnership with Zappos, where we bring my Whole Human philosophy to inspire, educate and equip businesses and people with what it takes to find tone in every area of their life, so that they can find harmony and happiness as a result. The culture at Zappos is incredible, and I love Tony and the crew. They really want to solve how to help businesses and society at large to invest in people in meaningful ways. I'm having fun being entrepreneurial and setting myself up so I can be a mom, be at home more, but still build something that I hope helps people and culture and live my passions.
I will write more about this, and the mindfulness platform that I'm building to help people solve issues with anxiety, depression, and to find a calm sense of purpose in their life - but for now, please visit my website JewelNeverBroken.com so you can find simple doable exercises that take only minutes a day to practice, but have been proven to help rewire your brain so you can lean to make a habit out of happiness!
But don't worry, I will still make music and write more, too!
Here are some pictures from our time in Lake Las Vegas and the Colorado river experiences.
Hope you all have a lovely 4th of July!

Shadows Of A Stranger: Review
By Marti Dols Roca.
Shadows of a Stranger (2014) it's a low budget debut feature film co directed by Richard Dutton and Chris Clark. This supernatural thriller makes us travel to the city of Meridian where detective Sherborne (Ian Mude) is going through a rough patch: cheated by his wife, scorned by his daughter, with a huge debt on his shoulders and haunted by the return of the village Christmas serial killer to top it off. When eccentric and filthy rich William Fallon (Colin Baker aka Dr Who n. 6) offers a million pounds reward to find his disappeared son, Sherborne sees his golden opportunity. He will team up with Xander (Chris Clark), a solitary young man with psychic abilities, to find Fallon's son; a journey between dimensions that seemed to converge but are actually parallel and cases that looked parallel but eventually will become the same is about to begin…
Now, as it couldn't be any other way, first thing to address is the visuals: in order to shot the movie, the filmmakers created their own blue screen and placed it in a barn somewhere in Lincolnshire. Therefore, all the scenarios where the scenes take place are digitally created. Let's remind the reader this is a low budget debut feature film and such eventualities are understandable. It is what it is. It could also be said that at least is consistent as the whole movie is shot like that; there are no shot-on-location scenes whatsoever. Thing is it doesn't look good. It could if it was an aesthetic choice (Scanner Darkly, Sin City…) but it doesn't seem the case. Yes, this is a low budget film but it is fair to judge it from the audience point of view and personally (and disagreeing with other reviews I've read) it kept bothering me as I watched it. On the other hand it does bring some nostalgia from videogames times gone by and every now and then that is actually somehow satisfactory.
Another issue is the soundtrack. Again, fair enough, well tried, it's almost like… but it's not. In this case it is directly the filmmakers' choice and I think it's a wrong one. It is a bit intrusive, melodramatic, it doesn't help the narration and it can get quite clichéd: to the point that the old and loaded man who never leaves his house haunted by his son's disappearance listens to Pachelbel's canon… That's what I mean when I say this one was the filmmakers' choice: it has nothing to do with budget; and there's nothing plainer than Pachelbel's canon.
In regard to acting, it is all right. The cast is quite impressive considering the low budget nature of the film and it is fair to say there are good performances; there are bad performances too… And again, the digital environment doesn't help when you see an actor clearly trying to use his body to make up for the lack of surroundings. It surely works in the theatre, meters away from the stage; but not with medium shot car sequences…
Finally, story: the most important part. The part that can make all the previous points look like minor details… I mean… It's alright. It's not bad. It is a thriller with supernatural elements that follows the classical structure of the genre, it has a twist and there's a certain amount of mystery and suspense. In my opinion it lacks a bit of action or the characters being under actual threat more often but I understand that also means money and it's already been established that's what the movie lacks the most. I'm not particularly thrilled by the story or the script to be honest- and it has nothing to do with lack of budget. In BRWC we have reviewed many independent low budget films and if there's something they have is the ability to use their weaknesses as strengths or at least rely more on subtlety or just a very strong story (even a different approach to filmmaking which by itself it's a reason to watch a movie; it being better or worse…). To be fair, probably this is the lowest budget one of them all and therefore the challenge is even bigger. Having said that, a great story normally makes up for everything else and, unfortunately, it is not the case.
However, after judging this film as I would judge any other, as a show of respect and honesty, the movie shows ambition, a great understanding of some filmmaking techniques (framing for instance), and a good first step for its authors. Patronizingly enough (me being probably younger and less experienced than them but happening to write for a cinema blog) I think the movie shows that huge things can be achieved by persevering and never giving in and that's not a small thing. The directors, cast and crew have managed to successfully produce a feature film that has all the ingredients its genre demands. It looks more like a good exercise before the actual thing, but it is not easy and it has to be appreciated as such. Having said that, nice try and best of luck for the next one.

Sol 2254-55, December 10, 2018, update by MSL scientist Mariah Baker: Today was one of those planning days when you realize the importance of being able to adapt quickly and think on your feet (i.e., wheels) when operating a rover on Mars. Our previous plan brought us to the Lothian E area, where we hoped to find an exposure of red Jura rock that was suitable for drilling. Unfortunately, the bedrock at this location appeared just as fractured as at the previous site, forcing the team to rethink the weekend plan.

Orved S.p.A. is specialized in the design, build, and development of vacuum packing machines and MAP vacuum machines. The company produces bags, thermosealings, accessories and sous-vide cooking system to adapt to any application. In its own R&D center, by the work of specialized Chefs, Orved produces and introduces recipes prepared using "sous-vide" technology. Orved offers the highest quality products, "Made in Italy", all over the world and Orved system have been refined over the last 30 years.
Established in 1984 as ORVED di Salvaro Marziano, the company has transformed over the years into a limited liability company and in July 2009, with 25 years of history and success at its back, it became a single member limited company.
Orved S.p.A. belongs to a holding owned by long-time partners.
The company's transformation from a one man business into a partnership and then a joint stock company, has defined its history and continual growth; these changes have been prompted by its increasing size, growing number of customers, collaborators and employees and its expansion into national and international markets through the distribution of ORVED products, which are now present worldwide.
Since the beginning, the company has focused on the conception, design, construction and development of vacuum, modified atmosphere and protective packaging machines.
The first packaging machine designed and created by Orved, called the ORVED VM/13, made history in the external air suction vacuum packaging sector.
This machine implemented a redesigned vacuum creation system that, compared with the classic and well-known chamber system, offers several advantages including reduced cost, smaller size, extreme versatility and greater speed. This model was followed by many other types of vacuum machines, which included both those with external suction systems and the traditional chamber system.
ORVED has always offered products characterized by the highest level of quality and extremely advanced and innovative technological solutions. ORVED machines are renowned for their reliability and strength; they have become recognized and established after the company's 25 years of experience in the market worldwide.
Each ORVED machine is built in compliance with the strictest international regulations, is CE certified and the company is ISO 9001:2000 certified both for the production of packing machines and vacuum bags.
All machines come with a warranty and ORVED offers quick and professional support through its international presence and importers and distributors.
ORVED products are characterized by completely stainless steel structures as well as vacuum vessels and all other features, even the smallest screw, constructed in metal, thus ensuring the solidity of the machines.
Four rounded angles on chamber vacuum machines and easy and secure removal of welded bars guarantee simple and safe cleaning.
Some models include exclusive features protected by international patents that ORVED obtains for its most important innovations.
ORVED boasts a range of vacuum packaging machines and prices that can be defined as the most complete in the market sector.
For many years, ORVED has also designed and produced thermosealing machines for thermosealing or the atmospheric modification of containers. ORVED holds exclusive patents for these machines as well.
ORVED has recently decided to develop a specific "packing" line that will include double chamber vacuum packaging machines, conveyor belt vacuum packers, thermoshrinking tunnels and thermoforming machines.
The company is represented in the national market by distributors, agents and sub-agents and participates directly in the most important national and international trade fairs in the sector.
The company's international branches include: ORVED France, ORVED España, ORVED Romania, ORVED Tunisie, ORVED Brasil with a connected production site for the South American market, ORVED China and the soon to open, ORVED USA.
In the remaining countries ORVED works with its own importers, which also provide training and product support.
For many years now, thanks to its machines and vacuum bags that are exclusively "made in Italy", ORVED has implemented the "ORVED SYSTEM" which involves the production of machines and materials and training in the new technologies developed at its research center, such as vacuum cooking, as well as instruction from its specialized chefs.
ORVED produces and distributes for both the professional and domestic markets.

Siècle de Louis XIV by Voltaire (critical edition by Diego Venturino) - T. 13B
Portrait of Louis XIV (1838-1715).

Work published with the scientific and financial support of the CRCV.
Œuvres complètes de Voltaire : Siècle de Louis XIV (IV). Chapitres 13-24,
directed by Diego Venturino, "Œuvres complètes de Voltaire" Collection, t. 13B, Oxford: Voltaire Foundation, September 2015, xxxii + 454 p., 16 black and white ill. (ISBN-13: 978-0-7294-1156-1).
2015 marked the 300th anniversary of the death of the Sun King, Louis XIV (1638-1715), whose reign defined the era of the "Grand Siècle", and saw France become the major power in Europe. To mark this anniversary, the Voltaire Foundation of Oxford University, in collaboration with the Centre de recherche du château de Versailles, is publishing the Siècle de Louis XIV, Voltaire's seminal work and the first major account of Louis XIV's reign. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the political and cultural history of the era of the Sun King.
This new critical edition, edited by Diego Venturino, was published between 2015 and 2019 in seven volumes (volumes 11A, 11B, 12, 13A, 13B, 13C and 13D of Œuvres complètes de Voltaire) with the academic and financial support of the Centre de recherche du château de Versailles.
First drafted in the early 1730s, published in 1751, revised and amended until 1775, the Siècle de Louis XIV is an outstanding work in the career of the historian and philosopher Voltaire, paving the way for both modern historiography and literary history. The first overall perspective of the reign of Louis XIV, Voltaire's work remains today the (often controversial) starting point for any reflection on the political and cultural history of the era of the Sun King, and a great example of eighteenth century historiography.
This volume (t. 13B) contains chapters 13 to 24 of this seminal work, continuing the history of the king's foreign policy from 1676 until his death in 1715. The territorial gains of the Peace of Nijmegen are followed by the humiliations of defeats during the War of the Spanish Succession. France's own borders are threatened by an alliance of powers, and the king is forced to sue for peace. Voltaire finds much to admire in the king's ability to adapt to circumstances and put aside his pride for the good of his people; and much to admire, too, in the balance of power in Europe which is left at the time of his death. No state, including France, can aspire to be powerful enough to establish total dominance over the continent.
The text is enriched with annotation and commentary, which elucidates Voltaire's sources and the historiographical context in which he was working. It also benefits from sixteen illustrations, most of which are taken from the collections of the Château de Versailles.

Canada's New Food Guide: Is It Any Better?
Canada's new brand new food guide is fresh off the presses and it's time for me to have my say.
One of the biggest criticisms of Canada's previous food guide was probably in relation to the amount of information it contained relative to the lack of practical, applicable guidance of how to put it all together.
The most recent food guide is, quite literally, a complete 360 in this regard.
It contains very little text, very little instruction but for sharing the concept of a balanced, healthy plate, and providing some brief guidance on the reverse regarding the importance of mindful eating, cooking at home and the social component of food.
Those are all very important points and in fact this intuitive angle and the notion of appreciating food beyond just nutrients is important and certainly a reasonable approach to take to accommodate the current climate around food relationships as well as the endlessly diverse Canadian population.
When I think about my clients I feel like so many are overwhelmed by information that the more concisely, confidently and directly something related to nutrition is presented, the better it is.
I certainly get that vibe from the latest guide and that's great, but I also have a number of reservations regarding important topics in public health nutrition that I believe could have been better addressed.
I am not against this or any previous version of the food guide ( even if limitations have always been present) and I also understand a part 2 will also be released so my apologies if any of my claims may turn out to be incomplete or premature, but I did want to get this content out in a timely fashion.
Health Canada, you have my love and support, making a food guide for 30 million wonderfully unique individuals is NOT easy.
But hey, I'm bloggers gotta do what bloggers gotta do!
Today's article will share what I like about the new guide, assess whether or not some of my desired changes were actually made, and air grievances in hyperbolic fashion regarding it's shortcomings.
1. The Combination Of Simplicity, Directness & Gentleness: My biggest qualm about this food guide ( as you will understand in the next section) is probably also it's greatest strength, in that it kind of provides very little information. I like that it's clean, simple and to the point. It's far from overwhelming and it makes it pretty clear the components and relative proportions which Health Canada deems to represent a nutritionally balanced meal, while supporting that directness with very gentle messaging on the back, which I fully support as well and are obviously so important at a time with so much drama and negativity surrounding dietary guidance.
2. All Aboard The Whole Grain Train: Ketophiles won't be pleased but I am happy to see that Health Canada listened to me on this one by having the food guide essentially suggest whole grains exclusively. Whole grains ( such as brown rice, whole grain bread, quinoa etc) are higher in vitamins, minerals, fibre, anti-oxidants and generally lower in glycemic index. Non-whole grains can obviously fit, but I like the idea that our national food guide pushes the gold standard as the primary choice.
3. More Plant-based, Kind Of?: The guide is more plant-based, kind of. Obviously plant-based protein options are visible in the protein section of the plate, and the reverse does appear to show a number of plant-based protein options at work, which is cool. The omission of milk obviously stands out, but I do think having a cup of milk beside the plate with text like " having a glass of milk or milk alternative is an easy way to make sure you get enough calcium" would have been an acceptable touch to de-emphasize milk without completely removing it. None the less, I give Health Canada big props for having the balls to release a nearly-dairyless guide. It's almost like the kid in the school yard who did something they were dared to do, but no one thought they ever would. Even though I'm not a dairy consumer myself, it's hard to deny that fortified milk or milk alternatives can help fill dietary calcium and vitamin D gaps in some people. I do like how they exclusively and almost subliminally try to represent dairy through yogurt, which has functional benefits ( ie: probiotics) and can also be very high in protein ( ie: greek varieties) making it an exceptionally satiating and useful snack food, especially when combined with fruit/nuts/seeds.
4. Fruits & Veggies Remain Prominent: Enough said to be honest. The guide makes it clear that, proportion wise, fruits and veggies should be the most representative portion of a healthy eating pattern, and I don't disagree. Perhaps a small message like " it doesn't have to be organic to be healthy" or "frozen fruit is just as good" or some other encouraging message would be supportive of the economic reality that many Canadian's face when it comes to affording fresh produce.
Main Messages On Reverse: I fully support the primary message on the back that healthy food is more than what you eat and the supportive guidance that follows ( including cooking at home more, being mindful and so on).
I love the directness and positive energy that focuses on what you SHOULD do.
For me though, I don't like how we end on three negative or avoidance type messages.
I would have preferred to keep the positive vibe going and use those final 3 squares to deliver gentle but actionable and important public health nutrition messages that keep in mind some common nutrients of concern in the Canadian population.
In my mind these messages keep the theme of brevity and positivity and are FAR more valuable then "read the food label" or "beware of marketing".
1. It's Kind Of a Meal Guide Not A Food Guide: Now forgive me Health Canada if you rectify this later but all I can say for now is WHERE MY SNACKS AT?! I must have missed the systematic review and meta-analysis that showed Canadian's don't eat snacks anymore and we only eat balanced meals on plates. In my mind, critically healthy foods such as nuts/seeds and fruit, despite fitting into many recipes, are probably more effectively promoted as snacks. Especially at a time where consumers are inundated with granola and protein bars and have no idea what qualifies as the "healthy snack" they so desire.
2. All "Protein Choices" Aren't Made Equal: This is a major discussion I have with all of my clients and that is to say, perhaps more than any other food group, it is so critically important to diversify your protein intake.
I told Health Canada this in my previous blog ( who am I kidding no one from there reads my work) and they just did not listen!
A. By following my previous suggestion of adding gentle guidance to encourage the favouritism of fish, legumes and nuts/seeds.
B. By halving the protein section into a 3/4 and 1/4 scheme with the foods strongly associated with strong health outcomes in the 3/4 component ( nuts,seeds, fish, legumes) and the others (chicken, red meat, eggs) in the 1/4 component.
Incidentally either or both of these changes would also much more strongly support Health Canada's alleged goal of encouraging a more vegetarian-based lifestyle in our country.
1. Fish and legumes in particular are associated with good health outcomes and have important biological constituents that simply cannot be replaced by having more chicken breast.
By comparison: Broccoli, kale and brussel sprouts are examples of different vegetables where if you chose to ate just one for the rest of your life, you would not really be missing out on much nutritionally.
Yes there are flaws and limitations to my example, and variety is important in fruits/veggies too, but work with me here!
2. Red meat, for example, has stuff that we don't really want too much of ( ie: saturated fat) and is not a like for like replacement for nuts/seeds which contain a more favourable fat profile as well as antioxidants and fibre, which are not at all abundant in beef.
Quinoa and brown rice are like for like swaps.
Apples and oranges, despite the expression, are essentially like for like swaps.
Beef and pecans are certainly not like for like swaps, so why do they remain in the same grouping?
See what I'm getting at here? Am I the only one who this annoys?
3. Fruits And Veggies Remain Unseparated: This is hardly a big deal, but it's something that I noted in my last article, and I kind of wish we could just follow Australia's "bold" lead and draw a line in the sand between fruits and vegetables. Both are incredibly healthy and important, but they are different and it's hard to argue that vegetables have the overall edge, so let's let people know that.
I hope you guys found the well thought out, yet distinctly knee-jerk response to part 1 of Canada's latest food guide valuable.
I apologize in the advance for the plethora of grammatical shortcomings that are inevitable as I finish typing this piece at 1:30 am in a frenzy to have it published in a timely manner as well as to Health Canada if this to-be-released part 2 actually addresses any of my aforementioned concerns.
One thing I don't want you to confuse among the passion of today's discussion is my respect for Health Canada.
It's always easier to criticize than it is to create and I have the utmost respect for my colleagues across the country who, quite frankly, were both incredibly brave and diligent in the creation of this guide.
I love the work we do in Canada and although many might not have, I've always saw value in our food guide.
We aren't perfect, and neither is our food guide ( which I ruthlessly point out in today's blog) but you can always count on Canadian's to give it our best shot!
Anyway, I hope you both laughed and learned going through this today.

Q: Executar comandos DOS no Visual Studio Preciso saber qual comando no Visual Studio 2013 executa o comando de parar um serviço de sistema Windows. No DOS eu faço assim:
net stop Audiosrv
netstart Audiosrv
exit

A Outra pergunta é como executar os comandos DOS dentro do Visual Studio 2013 - Visual Basic. Chamando ou não o SHELL cmd.exe
Tentei fazer assim porém não está dando certo, pois ele não está chamando os comandos DOS.
Private Sub ExecutarComando()

 Dim comando As String = "/del C:\1.txt"

Shell ("cmd.exe /c " & comando)

 End Sub

A: O comando DOS NET é um executável - net.exe. Assim sendo, ele pode ser invocado como um executável via classe Process. Aqui vai um wrapper que retorna uma string contendo o resultado do comando. Exemplo de uso:
retorno = ExecutaComando("net.exe", "start Audiosrv")

Aqui vai a função em VisualBasic.NET:
Private Shared Function ExecutaComando(pComando As String, pParametros As String) As String
    Dim _ret As String = ""

    Dim procShell As New Process()

    'Seu comando vai aqui.
    procShell.StartInfo.FileName = pComando

    'Os argumentos, aqui.
    procShell.StartInfo.Arguments = pParametros

    procShell.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
    procShell.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
    procShell.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
    procShell.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
    procShell.Start()

    Dim streamReader As New StreamReader(procShell.StandardOutput.BaseStream, procShell.StandardOutput.CurrentEncoding)

    Do
        Dim _line As String = streamReader.ReadLine()
        If (IsNothing(_line)) Then Exit Do
        _ret = _ret + _line + vbCrLf
    Loop

    streamReader.Close()

    Return _ret

End Function

Por exemplo, o seguinte uso:
ExecutaComando("net.exe", "stop w3svc")

Retorna o seguinte valor em uma máquina Windows 8.1 com IIS instalado:
The World Wide Web Publishing Service service is stopping.
The World Wide Web Publishing Service service was stopped successfully.

Você pode utilizar o mesmo método com CMD. Exemplo:
Process.Start("cmd", "/c del C:\1.txt")

A: Problema resolvido ,
Resolvi assim :
Para iniciar
Shell("net start WSearch") 'Windows Search Start'

Para Parar
Shell("net stop Wsearch")'Windows Search Stop'

After all the stories, conversations, arguments and commentaries over the film Red Tails, it finally came out last Friday. Hurray! There are a few reasons why you should check out the film if you haven't already. Not only is it a great opportunity to learn more about our history through the big screen (which we don't get to see often) and to appreciate the efforts and heroism of the Tuskegee Airmen; but it's also a nice chance to see a cast full of HOT eye candy. Like, smoking. It was almost distracting at a point. But not the usual suspects (Cuba, Terrence and Method Man). These six men are another amazing reason to go check out Red Tails if you haven't already. Or see it again. Don't believe me? Flip on through!
Damn, Damn, DAMN! *in my Florida Evans voice* This fella was the main one who was catching my attention during the film. Probably because of those lips, but also because of his VERY sculpted frame (homeboy used to be a wrestler in college). As their leader, I was loving the authoritativeness he was giving off, and the brotha simply looked luscious in his uniform.
My cutie-patootie boo since his The Wire days, Wilds brought a lot of charm (and some adorable naïvity too) to the film as Junior. His lips are also pretty distracting too, don't you agree?
Playing the very stubborn but oh-so-talented pilot "Lightning," Brit actor David Oyelowo was like that annoying friend who doesn't take heed of anything you say–but ten times hotter. Bravery on a man is always hot, while recklessness isn't, but with Oyelowo doing both, I think I would fall for either.
Another one of my favorites from The Wire ("Where's Wallace!?"), Jordan was a newbie to the Tuskegee training program when we got to finally peep him on-screen, but his lusciousness had him standing out. He has this innocent and cute thing down pat in the film, but we all know in real life, Jordan is a stone-cold stud.
Mr. Odom was a newbie to me as far as black Hollywood actors go, but he certainly was a nice surprise! Gotta love the eyes and the know-it-all but very deep attitude he was showing off in the movie. I think I'm not the only one who would have liked to see more…so here you go!
And last but not least, this list would be empty without the delicious Kevin Phillips (I know you didn't think Ne-Yo was going on here, right?). As Leon "Neon"…well, he really didn't have too many lines like that, but everytime the brotha popped on screen it was like magic! Another pretty brotha in a slew of gorgeous men–that movie had me drooling.
So who was your favorite fella to look at in the Red Tails cast? And what did you think of the film?
What Exactly Makes Something Ghetto?


There are many books about gardens and gardening: 'how to' manuals on bonsai, lavish photo essays on Italy, scholarly histories of design. Philosophy in the Garden is something else entirely: the intelligent garden-lover's detective story—less of a 'whodunit', and more of a 'why do it'.
Why was Jane Austen gazing at lilacs instead of writing Mansfield Park? Why was Friedrich Nietzsche wandering in a citrus grove? And why was George Orwell, ill with tuberculosis, hacking at dry dirt with a pickaxe instead of resting?
The answers, it turns out, are deeply philosophical. This is because gardens are a unique combination of nature and humanity. They reveal our relationship to nature: what we make of it, literally and figuratively. They also speak of psyche and society: what it is to be human. Because of this, gardens are more than decorations or badges of status—they can be where our most intimate ideas gain new life.
This vision let Austen know that all was well; that her divine creator's cosmos was ticking along fine, and she could return to her wonderfully human world of adoration, snark, betrayal and upstanding naval officers.
For Nietzsche, nature was all indifference and profligacy: a lesson in risk-taking and novelty. It took him away from sentimentality and idealism, and pushed him to welcome change: in himself, and the world. But the carefully tended lemon groves also taught style: mastery of his instincts and urges, instead of vulgar egotism or sloppiness.
Importantly, gardens need not be grand or traditional to offer these intellectual gifts. Marcel Proust, for example, at one point kept a bonsai next to his bed: in his mind, it became "a vast forest, stretching down to a river, in which children could lose their way." This principle works for pelargoniums in a courtyard, succulents on a desk: with a little patience and imagination, what's small and seemingly banal can be extraordinary.
And this rare collaborator exists, not in some utopian land, but in our own backyards, in nearby parks, or in a terracotta pot on a porch.
The garden is an intimate invitation to great ideas.
Damon Young is the author of Philosophy In The Garden, an exploration of one of literature''s most intimate relationships: authors and their gardens.

Finding the Right Connections: SUSOE Diverse Connections
Jessica Martinez works with students during her 6th grade student teaching placement. She credits her program coordinator, James H. Rolling, Jr., with providing her mentoring and guidance.
Debra Hamilton Schoening '81, G'83, G'98 says she was fortunate to have phenomenal mentors throughout her journey as an undergraduate and graduate student at Syracuse, through teaching, then as a principal, and in district leadership roles until her retirement from the position of the executive director of elementary education for the Syracuse City School District. "As my scope of leadership responsibilities increased," she says, "I noticed an increasing dearth of candidates of color as well as an alarming attrition rate of those in the practice."
Schoening's research on the issue supported her own observations from the field, and she brought her concerns to the faculty and leadership of the School of Education. "The work of retaining excellent teachers and school leaders had to begin much sooner than their entry into the profession," she says.
The SUSOE Diverse Connections group held a soft launch during Coming Back Together in 2017, bringing together key members of the Syracuse University community, the Syracuse City School District, and alumni of color from across the country and others interested in being an active part of the solution. Follow-up discussions continued with SOE faculty and campus units such as the Office of Multicultural Advancement to align resources for students and young alumni. Now, Schoening's initial idea of a mentoring program has been developed and incorporated into the School of Education's bolder and broader strategic plan goals of recruiting and retaining students of color into education fields.
Last year, Diverse Connections hosted two receptions for students and professionals of color connected to fields in education, counseling, and student services. Information was shared about scholarship opportunities for high-needs fields, and attendees were encouraged to pair with a mentor or mentee at the events or register online to be paired.
Cedric Bolton G'18, Program Coordinator of Student Engagement with the Office of Multicultural Affairs, answered the call to serve as a mentor. "I think the importance of having a mentor, is like having a coach who gives you the tools needed to be successful," he says. "I want to share my years' of experience in student affairs, wisdom, and who I am as a person." He noted the importance the University must place on supporting faculty and staff of color so that they can support and guide African American/Black, Latinx, Native/Indigenous, Multiracial, or Asian students. "It is important for students to connect with staff and faculty of color that get it—the struggle, the culture, the historical celebrations, politics, religion, and the other engaging spaces across this campus community."
Jessica Martinez G'20 has taken advantage of the mentoring opportunities through Diverse Connections and has also found value in connecting with faculty in her academic program. Martinez says her master's advisor, James H. Rolling, Jr., professor and chair of arts education, played a critical role in her studies because he respects her and believes in her capacity, offering moral support and being present at important events and meetings. "Dr. Rolling is my role model," she says, "not just because he is a person of color with specialized knowledge in the field of art education. He has humanity. Humanity and expert knowledge are what makes a great teacher."
Schoening says that mentoring relationships are necessary for success in any profession, and critical at varying stages of one's career, not just for novices. "Mentoring provides a safe space to decompress, debrief and design strategies for tackling the challenges that inevitably exist at ALL stages of one's career— to stay focused on learning from not only on yours but also another's experience ultimately to improve your craft. The make and model of that mentoring may change as one's years of experience increase, but the need for support remains."
The SUSOE Diverse Connections group continues to seek mentors from varying backgrounds, experience levels, and professions to become involved. "I'm confident that [we] will bring refreshing energy towards addressing the challenge of recruiting and retaining educators of color," Schoening says.
We want to connect students, educators, and other professionals of color through the Diverse Connections mentoring initiative!

John, I'm Only Dancing is een nummer van de Britse muzikant David Bowie, uitgebracht als single in 1972. Het nummer werd in twee versies uitgebracht, de eerste versie kwam uit in september 1972, terwijl de zogeheten "sax"-versie in april 1973 werd uitgebracht. In 1974 nam Bowie het nummer opnieuw op in het door disco beïnvloede "John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)", maar deze versie werd pas in 1979 officieel uitgebracht.

Achtergrond
Het nummer wordt algemeen gezien als een verhaal waarin de verteller zijn homoseksuele vriend vertelt dat hij zich niet druk hoeft te maken over het meisje waar hij mee is, omdat hij "alleen maar danst" met haar. Bowie was sinds januari 1972 uit de kast als biseksueel, wat geen invloed had op de airplay in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. De videoclip, geregisseerd door Mick Rock, werd wel verbannen van het tv-programma Top of the Pops aangezien het androgyne dancers bevatte uit de mimetroepen van Lindsay Kemp.

Vanwege de homoseksuele natuur, wat te riskant werd bevonden door RCA Records, werd de single niet uitgebracht in de Verenigde Staten. In 1976 was het nummer voor het eerst verkrijgbaar in het land via het compilatiealbum Changesonebowie. Terwijl het refrein ("John, I'm only dancing / She turns me on / But I'm only dancing") lange tijd in verband werd gebracht met homoseksualiteit, beschreef auteur Nicholas Pegg in het boek The Complete David Bowie dat de verteller "ook een heteroseksuele man kan zijn die de liefde van het meisje geruststelt". Ook is er gesuggereerd dat Bowie het nummer schreef als antwoord op een commentaar dat John Lennon gaf op het crossdressing van Bowie.

Op 20 januari 1973 werd het nummer opnieuw opgenomen tijdens de sessies voor het album Aladdin Sane. Het nummer werd de "sax"-versie genoemd en gespeeld in een ietwat anders arrangement met Ken Fordham op de saxofoon.

John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)

John, I'm Only Dancing (Again) is een heropname van "John, I'm Only Dancing", opgenomen in 1974 tijdens de sessies voor het album Young Americans maar pas uitgebracht op single in december 1979.

De heropname bevatte een meer door funk beïnvloedde versie van het nummer en deelt een aantal gelijkenissen met het nummer "Stay" op het album Station to Station uit 1976. Het nummer duurt oorspronkelijk 6 minuten en 57 seconden en werd uitgebracht op 12" vinyl, maar er werd ook een verkorte versie uitgebracht op 7". Het was de eerste single van Bowie die een reguliere 12"-uitgave had. Op de B-kant werd een remix van de originele versie van het nummer geplaatst. De single werd een hit en spoelde de teleurstelling van het album Lodger gedeeltelijk weg. De lange 12"-versie van het nummer werd uitgebracht in 1991 als bonustrack op de heruitgave van Young Americans en in 1998 op het compilatiealbum The Best of David Bowie 1974/1979. De 7"-versie werd niet op cd uitgebracht tot de box set Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976) uit 2016.

Op de heropname van het nummer zijn de originele coupletten niet te vinden en bleven alleen de teksten van het refrein intact, waarschijnlijk vanwege de homoseksuele natuur van de oorspronkelijke opname. De nieuwe tekst beschreef simpelweg de liefde voor de dansvloer en de geest van de disco. Het refrein wordt langzamer en met minder toonwisselingen gezongen en met dancebeats op de achtergrond. De veranderingen werden als ietwat vreemd gezien in vergelijking met het origineel, in het bijzonder de "overmatig lange" dancetrack van de 12"-versie waarbij de tweede helft van het nummer enkel bestaat uit een repeterende riff en de tekst "dancing, dancing, dancing, woo woo woo-oo".

Control predators not on islands for gamebirds
Four controlled studies in Europe found increased populations or productivity of grouse and partridges on sites with predator removal. One study tested multiple interventions simultaneously.
A fifth replicated UK study found no increase in grouse densities or reproductive success on sites with gamekeepers, compared to those without.
A replicated, controlled study in the spring of 1974 on a cereal farm in Villers-Cotterêts, France (Westerskov 1997), found that grey partridges Perdix perdix were significantly more abundant in areas provided with 'partridge cafeterias' than in control areas. These 'cafeterias' included stoat Mustela ermine box-traps. This study is discussed in 'Provide supplementary food to increase adult survival'.
Westerskov K.E. (1977) Covey-oriented partridge management in France. Biological Conservation, 11, 185-191.
A replicated study (Baines 1996) at five sites in northern England and Scotland, found that densities and breeding success of black grouse Tetrao tetrix was no higher on moors with a gamekeeper (and associated predator control) than on moors without a game keeper (average of 1.6 males/km2, 2.3 females/km2 and 1.8 chicks/female on 11 keepered moors vs. 1.9 males/km2, 2.7 females/km2 and 1.9 chicks/female on nine unkeepered moors, n = 9). Moors were an average of 50 km2.
Baines D. (1996) The implications of grazing and predator management on the habitats and breeding success of black grouse Tetrao tetrix. Journal of Applied Ecology, 33, 54-62.
A replicated, controlled study at two farmland and woodland sites in southern England between 1985 and 1990 (Tapper et al. 1996) found that grey partridge Perdix perdix breeding success and brood sizes were significantly higher when predators were controlled, compared to years without removal. This led to August partridge numbers being 75% higher and breeding numbers the next year being 36% higher. Over three years this led to breeding densities that were 2.6 times greater when predators were removed. Predators removed through trapping and shooting were predominantly red foxes Vulpes vulpes, carrion crows Corvus corone and black-billed magpies Pica pica.

A controlled before-and-after study years in northern Scotland between 1989 and 1999 (Summers et al. 2004) found that the breeding productivity of western capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and 'survival' rates of 48 artificial nests were higher during the last three years (1994-6) of predator removal, compared to nine sites without predator removal. However, in the previous two years of predator removal (1992-3) and years without removal (1989-91, 1997-9), productivity was lower on the experimental site. In non-removal years, productivity averaged 0.1 chicks/female, compared with 1.4 chicks/female in removal years. Predator removal involved trapping carrion crows Corvus corone (a total of 368) and shooting red foxes Vulpes vulpes (a total of 22 adults and 52 cubs).

A controlled study in 2002-9 on mixed farmland in Hertfordshire, England (Aebischer & Ewald 2010), found that the number of grey partridges Perdix perdix increased significantly on an experimental site, where predators were controlled (along with several other interventions), but only slightly on a control site without predator control. This increase was apparent in spring (from fewer than 3 pairs/km2 in 2002 to 12 pairs/km2 in 2009, with a high of 18 pairs/km2 vs. approximately 1 pair/km2 on the control site in 2002, increasing to approximately 4 pairs/km2 in 2009) and autumn (from fewer than 10 birds/km2 in 2002 to approximately 65 birds/km2 in 2009, with a high of 85 birds/km2 vs. approximately 4 birds/km2 on the control site in 2002, increasing to approximately 15 birds/km2 in 2009). Predators controlled were red fox Vulpes vulpes, stoats Mustela erminea, brown rats Rattus norvegicus, carrion crows Corvus corone and black-billed magpies Pica pica. The experimental site also had supplementary food provided and habitat creation (see 'Provide supplementary food to increase adult survival' and 'Plant wild bird seed or cover mixture'). The effects of agri-environment schemes and the provision of set-aside are also discussed in 'Pay farmers to cover the costs of conservation measures' and 'Provide or retain set-aside'.

Former Va. Gov. Baliles dies at 79

By NBC12 Newsroom | October 29, 2019 at 10:19 AM EDT - Updated November 6 at 4:19 PM
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Former Virginia Gov. Gerald L. Baliles has died after battling cancer.
Baliles, who served as governor from 1986 to 1990, was 79 years old.
"As the 65th Governor of Virginia, he understood and valued the role government can play in improving citizens' lives. He transformed Virginia's transportation infrastructure, signed Virginia into the Chesapeake Bay agreement under which we still operate today, and focused on expanding access to higher education, among many other accomplishments," Gov. Ralph Northam said in a statement. "I have directed that Virginia state flags be flown at half-staff in Governor Baliles' honor for the next 30 days."
Baliles had entered a cancer treatment program last month.
A statement from his family said the former Democratic governor has been fighting a type of kidney cancer called renal cell carcinoma for several years.
Mark Warner, a former Virginia governor and current U.S. senator, says Baliles "was a steady hand steering the Commonwealth."
"He was also a good friend," Warner said. "I join all Virginians in celebrating his service to the Commonwealth. We will miss him."

Two years ago, I made a prediction: that within the next five years, the people who know how to build community/school partnerships were going to become some of the most important people in public education. As we start the new school year, I'm hearing more and more indicating that this shift is starting to occur. This includes updates I'm getting from partnership leaders around the country, such as the one who told me last week that her superintendent, for the first time, was starting to emphasize community partnerships at every meeting with principals. It also includes the education stories in various newspapers that are starting to focus on the funding crisis, detailing how school and district leaders are beginning to look to their communities for help.
The first, "Cash-strapped California schools seek commercial sponsors to raise funds," describes how some schools are making it a priority to secure new sources of revenue. Beverly Hills schools are considering launching an apparel line; Chino Valley schools are interested in selling ads in their football stadiums and securing sponsorships for school assemblies; San Diego wants to sell naming rights for their science camps. While California is in a particularly bad place in terms of funding, I would expect to see more of this elsewhere starting in the very near future.
Q: What are your goals if elected?
A: The first goal would be to sustain and/or improve the existing curriculum and instruction. The second goal would be to research and exhaust all avenues of revenue prior to a millage increase.
Q: What challenges do you think need to be addressed?
A: I believe acquiring revenue for maintenance, upgrade, replacement and/or additional facilities is an ongoing challenge for all districts.
Q: How would you solve the district's problems?
A: I would look for alternative sources of revenue such as federal, state and working grant monies, Partners in Education, public and private industry and philanthropy.
It stands to reason that we'll see more of this as the school year goes on, and that we'll see more next year, and much more the year after (when the stimulus money is gone).

Pepe Romero's distinguished career, both as a solo performer and charter member of the "Royal Family of the Guitar," encompasses some 60 albums, multiple White House invitations, Carnegie Hall concerts, and world premieres by Rodrigo and Moreno Torroba, in addition to receiving a Knighthood by King Juan Carlos I of Spain. This New York Guitar Festival appearance marks Romero's first ever all-Bach recital in New York. Touring the world in celebration of his 70th year, Romero will give his only New York concert this season at the New York Guitar Festival.
By age seven, Pepe set foot on the concert stage for the first time, at the Teatro Lope de Vega in Sevilla. And now, more than fifty years later, he continues to mesmerize audiences throughout the world. During that time, he has given literally thousands of concerts worldwide, many with the remarkable Romero Quartet, and many as a solo instrumentalist. He has worked with almost every major conductor alive, and has to his credit more than 60 recordings (among which are 20 concerto recordings with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, with both Neville Marriner and Iona Brown).
In 1992, Pepe Romero performed on a groundbreaking laser disc of the Concierto de Aranjuez with Neville Marriner and the Academy of St-Martin-in-the-Fields. He played a prominent role in the major film documentary Shadows and Light: Joaquin Rodrigo at 90, which received numerous plaudits worldwide (including the Chicago International Film Festival, International Emmy Awards, and San Francisco International Film Festival).
Maestro Romero's many accomplishments include: world premieres of Rodrigo´s Concierto andaluz (with the entire Romero Guitar Quartet), Concierto madrigal (with Angel Romero), and Concierto para una fiesta; Federico Moreno Torroba's Diálogos entre guitarra y orquesta (Pepe was personally chosen by Moreno Torroba and Andrés Segovia for the world premiere recording of this work dedicated to Segovia); and Lorenzo Palomo's Concierto de Cienfuegos (with the Romero Quartet) and Nocturnos de Andalucía (both released on the Naxos label). He also revived the great orchestral work Metamorfosi de concert by Xavier Montsalvatge, with Gianandrea Noseda, and premiered as well as recorded the Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra with Trumpet Obbligato by Paul Chihara, with Neville Marriner and the London Symphony.
In 2005 the Romero Quartet recorded Concierto vasco para 4 guitarras y orquesta by Francisco de Madina (written for the Romeros) with the Basque National Orchestra on a Claves release (entitled Aita Madina). A prominent new recording entitled The Romeros: Generations, features premieres of works by Jorge Morel (such as El Maestro, dedicated to Celedonio) and by Pepe himself, Recuerdos del pasado. In the spring of 2005, a solo recital release called Corazón Español became available on the CPA Hollywood Records label. Shortly thereafter, on the same label, came Classic Romero, another invaluable recital recording. In the summer of 2008, Pepe Romero recorded a splendid solo-vocal work by Lorenzo Palomo, with internationally recognized Spanish soprano Maria Bayo. It included the song cycles Mi jardín solitario (with texts by Celedonio Romero) and Madrigal and Five Sephardic Songs and was released on the NAXOS label in 2009 along with Palomo's Concierto de Cienfuegos with the Romero Quartet and Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos conducting the Sevilla Royal Symphony Orchestra. Celebrating their 50th anniversary and released in 2009, is a brand new recording by the Romeros for Sony´s RCA Red Seal Label entitled Los Romeros: Celebration. In November 2011 Deutsche Grammophon released Christmas with the Romeros featuring the Romeros and Christmas favorites. A new Spanish solo guitar collection featuring Pepe Romero includes a premiere recording of Suite Madrileña No. 1 by Celedonio Romero and is due for release in summer 2012 by Deutsche Grammophon.
Pepe Romero has performed (by himself and with his family) at the White House, the Vatican for Pope John Paul II, for HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain, and Queen Beatrice of Holland. He has been a special guest at music festivals in Salzburg, Israel, Schleswig-Holstein, Tanglewood, Menuhin Festival, Osaka, Granada, Istanbul, Ravinia, Garden State, Hollywood Bowl, Blossom, Wolf Trap, and Saratoga, among many others.
In the United States, he has appeared with leading symphony orchestras in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago, Houston, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, New York, and Los Angeles, as well as with the Orpheus Chamber Ensemble and Boston Pops. European ensembles with which he has appeared include the Academy of St-Martins-in-the-Fields, Dresden Philharmonic, London Symphony, Monte Carlo Philharmonic, I Musici, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Philharmonia Hungarica, Solisti di Zagreb, Hungarian State Orchestra, Spanish National Orchestra, Spanish National Radio Television Orchestra, Norddeutscher Rundfunk, Hamburg Philharmoniker, L'Orchestre de la Suisse-Romande, Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, New Moscow Chamber Orchestra, American Sinfonietta, and Bournemouth Symphony—among many others.
Pepe Romero has always felt, along with his father and brothers, that the sharing of one's art is a personal responsibility. Mr. Romero has served as Professor of Guitar at the University of Southern California, University of California at San Diego, Southern Methodist University, and the University of San Diego. He has conducted master classes at the Salzburg Summer Academy, Córdoba Guitar Festival, and the Schleswig-Holstein Festival. In 2004 he was appointed Distinguished Artist in Residence at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music.
Pepe Romero holds an honorary doctorate in music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the University of Victoria, British Columbia. In June 1996, he received the "Premio Andalucía de la Música," the highest recognition given by his native land for his contribution to the arts. In addition, His Majesty, King Juan Carlos I of Spain, has knighted Pepe and his brothers into the Order of "Isabel la Católica."
A biographical documentary about the Romeros appeared on PBS in 2001 entitled "Los Romeros, the Royal Family of the Guitar." Following this production, German television released another brilliant documentary about the Romeros entitled ¨Los Romeros, the Dynasty of the Guitar." In 2007, the Romeros received the President's Merit Award from the Recording Academy, producers of the Grammy Awards, for their significant contributions to the music world and professional career achievements.

Diaghilev's Many Unsung Successes
By Christopher Andreae
DIAGHILEV: CREATOR OF THE BALLETS RUSSES: ART, MUSIC, DANCE
Edited by Ann Codicek
Lund Humphries Publishers, distributed in the US by the Antique Collectors Club
175 pp., $35
In the mid-1890s, Sergei Diaghilev (1872-1929) wrote a letter to his stepmother when it at last dawned on him that his ambition to be a composer was unrealistic. The letter displays a degree of ironic self-knowledge:
"As for me ... it must be confessed ... from observation, that I am, first, a great charlatan, though with dash, second a great charmer, third cheeky, fourth a person with a lot of logic and few principles, and, fifth, someone afflicted, it seems, with a complete absence of talent. I think I've found my true vocation: to be a patron of the arts. For that I have everything I need except the money...."
Instead of becoming a monied patron, he proceeded to persuade rich and aristocratic people to support his patronage of artists. He became an impresario, one with a flair for obtaining sponsorship.
He became much more than a famous figure in the annals of 20th-century dance. He can be credited with changing its course, with giving it a new impetus and rescuing it from being an art form of low status, obscure and conventional. Modern dance would probably be entirely different but for the achievements of his Ballets Russes company.
He was what today we like to call a facilitator. But by all accounts, his capacity to inspire and stimulate his artists (as well as to organize and bully in often high-handed ways) amounted to a gift commensurate with that of many of the artists themselves.
The roster of greats who worked for this incorrigible name-dropper and self-publicizer is quite extraordinary. Even he, whose somewhat indolent appearance belied a ruthless energy and uncanny intuitiveness, would undoubtedly have felt that all his efforts had been justified by the fact that, more than 65 years later, he is still indissolubly associated with such names as Rimsky-Korsakov, Stravinsky, Picasso, Nijinsky, Massine, Fokine, Balanchine, Chaliapin, Bakst, Benois, Debussy, Satie, Goncharova - the list goes on and on.
Diaghilev's story is told in an exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery, London, (through April 14) and in an accompanying book-cum-catalog, "Diaghilev: Creator of the Ballets Russes: Art, Music, Dance."
The book has a dual role to play, which makes it a little multi-faceted, but its essays add a considerable amount of historical detail to the largely spectacular character of the exhibition. And, of course, the book's useful life continues after the show itself ends. It does not contain, however, very many color plates.
Both show and book concentrate on the years up to about 1914, although - as another well-illustrated book, "The Art of the Ballets Russes" (1991, now sadly out of print), impressively showed, Diaghilev continued to produce a program of highly original productions all through the 1920s and to commission many prominent artists to design them.
The Ballets Russes did not operate in Diaghilev's homeland, but in Paris. Its beginnings were preceded by a series of "Russian Seasons" in that city from 1907 to 1909. These started with concerts and operas, and only gradually shifted into the ballet productions that were to really shake the French cultural capital and make it reassess its assumptions. Diaghilev consciously aimed to demonstrate in the very center of the art world his burning conviction that Russian art, music, and dance were strikingly original - or could be. In the process he also gave Russian art, music, and dance, a new lease on life.
Early in his career, when he was organizing Russian art exhibitions, he observed: "If Europe needs Russian art, then it needs its youth and spontaneity." It was a principle he applied later to his grandiose, uncompromising theatrical projects.
But for all the spontaneity, many of the Diaghilev company's ballets were - paradoxically - thematically traditional. Rus-sian myth and history abounded in their story lines. Not until 1913 did Diaghilev stage a ballet on a contemporary subject. This was "Jeux," a one-act piece about three tennis players (though their ball was football-sized). "Jeux," with music by Debussy and gymnastic choreography by Nijinsky, was not a success at the time.
Even one of Diaghilev's most renowned ballets, Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," had a mixed reception. The outrage of the first-night audience is a story often told. The costume designs and decor by Nikolai Roerich now seem period and even a little quaint in a folky, fairy-tale way, yet apparently they contributed to the feeling of primeval savagery that the ballet's earliest audiences felt. After only a few performances Diaghilev withdrew "The Rite," believing the public was not ready for it.
But since that time, it has been subjected to many versions, and Stravinsky's music for it has long been established as a performance classic in its own right. The ground-breaking originality of this music more than supports the thesis of one of the essays in this new book. Its author, Irina Vershinina, writes: "Diaghilev's special gift as an 'inspirer' ... was no less apparent in the sphere of music than in that of choreography or design."
All told, what he demonstrated, more than anyone had before, was that many kinds of different artists - dancers, designers, composers, and choreographers - could be encouraged, without losing their individual originality, to produce together performance works of unusual potency.
