  • Bio.Inthismomentritu
    Throughout history, art rejoices and revels in the wisdom of women. Within a deck of tarot cards, the High Priestess serves as the guardian of the unconscious. In Greek mythology, the old oracles celebrate the Mother Goddess. William Shakespeare posited portentous prescience in the form of MacBeth’s “Three Witches.” On their sixth full-length album Ritual, In This Moment—Maria Brink [vocals, piano], Chris Howorth [lead guitar], Travis Johnson [bass], Randy Weitzel [rhythm guitar], and Kent Diimel [drums]—unearth a furious and focused feminine fire from a cauldron of jagged heavy metal, hypnotic alternative, and smoky voodoo blues. It’s an evolution. It’s a statement. It’s In This Moment 2017… “It’s like we’re going into the next realm,” asserts Maria. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I’ve never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it’s without overt sexuality. It’s that deeper serious fire inside of my heart.” “What Maria is saying comes from deep inside,” Chris affirms. “This time, we had a bunch of ideas started before we hit the studio. There was a really clear direction. It’s different.” The group spent two years supporting their biggest album yet 2014’s Black Widow. Upon release, it seized their highest position to date on the Billboard Top 200, bowing at #8.

  • Embracing Diversity in College Setting by Agnes Ramos
    Rooted in tradition · Exploring the future Vol. 44 · Issue #8 Thursday, February 10, 2011 Loyalist College · Belleville, ON · Canada Embracing diversity in college setting By Agnes Ramos February is the shortest month of the year. It features Groundhog Day, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day and Heart and Stroke Month. How- ever, many Loyalist College students may not know this: February is also Black History Month. The first celebration of Black His- tory Month in Canada was in Toron- to in 1950 and in 1995, the House of Commons nationally declared the month of February as Black History Month. Across the metropolitan areas of Canada, elementary schools, high schools, and post-secondary insti- tutions will be commemorating the achievements of black Americans and Canadians. From extravagant presentations and assemblies to simple tidbits of facts and quota- tions, students will be learning about the contributions of the Afri- can diaspora to the history of North America. But some schools, such as Loyal- ist, do not formally mark Black His- tory Month. “The college is an educational fa- cility with a large responsibility to the community…It doesn’t matter if we had just one person of colour here, we should still be educating ourselves. Black history is our his- tory,” said Shawn Doyle of the ab- original resource centre at Loyalist College. Ghanaian-Canadian Victoria Odzenma, 26, a student in Loyalist’s customs and border services pro- Agnes Ramos gram, said the school not acknowl- Ghanaian-Canadian Victoria Odzenma, 26, from Loyalist’s customs and border services program, belongs to the small, but growing population of minority stu- edging the month doesn’t disap- dents.

  • Heybombshell Biography
    HEYBOMBSHELL BIOGRAPHY Emerging from Calgary's music scene in early 2010, “Hey Bombshell” decided to create a musical style of their own by infusing mainstream pop/rock melodies with a touch of electronic magic that is sure to get stuck in your head. Featured on Much Music’s hit TV show “Discovered” in 2011, helped pave their way of success. Through the show they had the opportunity of working with industry professionals such as “Greg Nori (SUM 41, Marianas Trench, Hedley) and Dan Kanter (Justin Bieber, Shiloh). If that wasn’t enough, Myles, Dennis, Colton and Jay decided to enter a local competition with 90.3 AMP Radio (Calgary). Little did they know, they’d come head to head with some of Western Canada’s finest musicians and win the finals being awarded with a huge cash prize of $200,000, and have their single “Rockstar” be the most requested song on Calgary radio. With their recent accomplishments it didn’t take long for XOXO Entertainment Corp. President, “Adam H. Hurstfield” (Ne-Yo, Ray J, Elise Estrada, Faber Drive, Def Leppard) to sign the band to his newly formed XOXO Label, an imprint of Universal Music. “These guys have the personalities and talent to make some serious noise in the business. In such a short time “Hey Bombshell” has accomplished so much, and we are ecstatic to have the boys be apart of our team”. – Adam H. Signed to the new XOXO Entertainment Corp. (a Universal Music Distributed label), fronted by hit maker Adam H. Hurstfield (Elise Estrada, Ne-Yo, Ray J., Emmalyn Estrada, JahFus, Loverboy, Def Leppard), HEY BOMBSHELL is making big noise in Vancouver completing their debut CD, which is scheduled for release this summer 2013.
