These retrospectives look back and think ahead. Our past defines our present, and shapes our future. This issue features a constellation of artists and writers who examine and (re-)define past and future in differing ways. In Rampike, we continue to present talent from around the world, including Asia, Europe, Australia, as well as North and South America. Here, we offer writing, visual art, poetry, graphic arts, fiction, arts commentary and interviews. Included in this issue are interviews with internationally recognized writers David Antin, and Jaap Blonk, who offer their individual perspectives on approaches to their chosen media. Elaine Corts' refined translation of Philippe Sollers' H, offers yet another instalment in our on-going series on this famed French author's writing. Also, we are delighted to present a never-before-published interview with the legendary bp Nichol (1944-1988). In this interview with Geoff Hancock, bp offers rare insights and candid comments on his approaches to writing and publishing. Arts commentary from culture savants Reid Diamond, Stan Fogel and Philip Monk offer illuminating perceptions on late twentieth century music, art and cinema. Reid Diamond (1958-2001), shortly before his untimely death this year, submitted a retrospective on his life as a musician, which now serves as much as a commentary on the music scene, as on his own life as an artist. Peace and love Reid, you will be missed by many. Also in this issue, poets Louise Bak, Lawrence Upton, Jeanette Lynes and Brian Edwards, among many others, address the conventions of the medium of language itself. Paul Dutton's "Word Count" transcends the limits of the poetic genre and provides us with a remarkable gem of conceptual art. Fiction writer Norman Lock offers a rare historical perspective on Albert Einstein in Africa, while Geary Hobson writes on aboriginal experience in the II I~-- American southwest. Our profiles provide backgrounds on celebrated international literary figures Fernando ~ ==?!.== '. ,-("- Aguiar and Joy Kogawa, who in their individual ways have explored poetry as an inter-disciplinary art form. We also feature an array of acclaimed visual artists.

  • Banking: Reading
    Banking: Reading The concept of banking may have been a good one initially but I can’t help feeling that in today’s world there are less people benefiting. Of course it’s good to know that your money is safe and sound, but it does seem strange to pay an organization for having your money when they make a profit from this. The charges nowadays in some banks (and different banks in different countries vary enormously) are incredible. Some charge for an overdraft facility even if you don’t go overdrawn, some charge every time you take money out (your money!) while others charge for closing an account! If you’re not careful, it’s a way of losing money rather than keeping it safe. Perhaps because of this there are some interesting alternative money systems. In fact there are some banks that don’t use money at all. Time banks are an example of this. Instead of Pounds, Dollars, Euros etc., the currency is ‘time’ – issued in the form of time credits. As this is an egalitarian system, everyone’s time is valued equally so one time credit is equivalent of one hour’s work, whatever the work. The idea is that whenever you do something to help another person you are given a time credit for this rather than cash. So, for example, if you spend an hour looking after the kids next door you’ll be given one time credit. This you can then spend on an hour’s yoga class or having your front door painted.

The previous issue of this newsletter went (initially) to about 45 people, with a request for addresses of others. The mailing list is now close to 150, and growing weekly. Over 95% of ~his list are composers / composer~organizers. There are still some glaring holes in the list, particularly the Maritimes and the Prairies, ~ people sent addresses, and I would particularly like to thank John Winiarz, John Celona, Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux, Wendy Bartley and Jim Montgomery for their special efforts. Submissions to the Newsletter are encouraged. Materials should be 'photo - ready', and (usually) be able to be reduced to one-half size. (See the rest of the newsletter.) It is also possible to send out information that is received in quantity: please send 200 copies. (note attached from the Toronto Music Gallery). Items and articles of personal, local and national interest will be included, with (for example) a Montreal 'calendar' of up­ coming events. The function of this being two-fold (i) to let people know what is going on and (ii) (and more importantly), to give organizers a rough guide to planned events to avoid conflicts in the timing, as much as possible. Until a national newsletter is established, I am offering to do the same for Toronto. Send your d~tes as soon as they are established, and if possible, even in their tentative form.

  • 1 Dear Joint Review Panel Members, I'm Writing to Express Serious
    Dear Joint Review Panel members, I’m writing to express serious concerns about the Frontier Oil Sands Mine Project, proposed by Teck Resources. The proposed mine would disrupt critical habitat for endangered caribou and bison herds and undermine the treaty rights of local First Nations who rely on them for food and cultural practices. In fact, the mine is proposed for an area that the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has declared off limits to industrial development. Both the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and the Mikisew Cree First Nation oppose the project, and I urge the panel to respect their opposition. Furthermore, the project would produce an unacceptable level of greenhouse gas emissions. The Frontier project is incompatible with Alberta’s 100 MT cap on oil sands emissions, and would undermine Canada’s ability to achieve the emissions reduction targets required to meet our Paris Climate Accord commitments. The Teck Frontier Oil Sands Mine would threaten endangered species, undermine Indigenous rights and unleash unacceptable levels of greenhouse gas emissions. I urge you to reject this project. Sincerely, 8069 Signatories A Conroy Abigail Jilesen Adrien De Ruyck A Fredette Abraham Masri Adrienne Montani A T David Hutchings Ada Vera Adrienne PAQUETTE A Wolfe Adam Deutsch Affolter Christine A.

  • Fifth Grade Il Curriculum.Pdf
    Our goal is simple: To make implementation of the Financial Literacy and Inquiry Standards easy for all Illinois teachers. Using the C3 Framework as a guide, our curriculum provides teachers all the resources they need for each unit while ensuring the standards are taught. Below is a brief explanation of the structure our units take. Inquiry To break down the inquiry process, each lesson follows this format: Ask Investigate Create/Discuss Reflect Ask Each lesson starts with a compelling question. Next, there are three supporting questions that directly ties in to the compelling question. Each supporting question gets a little tougher as you progress through the lesson, thus providing the opportunity for differentiating and compacting the curriculum. Investigate The featured resources are listed here. Depending on the lesson, these can range from reading for information pieces to videos to activities. These resources were designed to allow the students to do their own research and learn about the compelling question. Each resource has been created for you. If a lesson lists a video as a resource, you can find it at www.moneymindedillinois.com. Create/Discuss Here you will find the formative assessment performance activities for each supporting question. As in Investigate, the activities have all been created and are in the unit. Reflect This section is the lesson’s summative assessment performance activity. Additional Resources Our curriculum will continuously have additions and adaptations. Please feel free to visit us at www.moneymindedillinois.com for more materials as the program grows. There are also statewide competitions that students can partake in listed there as well.
