As a business owner, it’s very encouraging to see these future breed leaders step to the plate to showcase themselves and their breeding programs in a high profile, friendly and welcoming sale such as this. We have always tried to send warm welcoming vibes out to Simmental breeders that we think we’ve created an event that will accommodate any level of breeder, regardless of cowherd size and years of experience. It looks like the message transpired to many and it makes for a very exciting future outlook for this sale that is already well rooted with a successful, no-nonsense reputation! The sale veterans have a great addition with a bunch of youthful enthusiasm to compliment their efforts in 2020 and beyond! It’s always a great “trifecta” of sales happening at Westerner Park in Red Deer just on the verge of the Christmas Holidays! There is a great positive atmosphere during the National Trust, Fleckvieh Equation and Ultimate Red & Black Sales that you will surely want to experience. The cattle will be display-ready from Friday on through to sale time on Sunday, stop by for a look ahead of time if you’re in the area.

We are pleased to be offering a bull of this quality Lot 1 and performance as our feature this year. He is one that has been a favourite of ours throughout the summer. This bull possesses a ton of bone and maturity in a very fluid sound package. If you’re looking to improve hair on your cattle in a hurry, this guy will get it done. 1H has a birthweight of 82lbs, and is bold ribbed and deep bodied. It is hard to ignore the amount of natural muscle shape and width on his topline that carries right into his hip. 1H goes back to our donor cow DTD Honey Boo Boo 347A (RF Torque 6W) that we purchased from Russell Sevcik in 2013. She went on to win Overall Supreme Commercial at Summer Synergy in 2016 as a three year old pair. We decided to do a flush to JF Back in Black 406B on her and we have not been disappointed. 1H’s dam is the result of the flush, and is a super nice maternal cow that has a beautiful udder attachment and is smooth in her structure, yet remains deep bodied and feminine.

  • English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England
    Trish Bater 080207052 ‘Blacking Up’: English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions about Black People in England Submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy by Patricia Bater National Centre for English Cultural Tradition March 2013 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 444 Castro Street, Suite 900, Mountain View, California, 94041, USA. Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

  • Toni Morrison Recitatif My Mother Danced All Night and Roberta's Was
    Toni Morrison Recitatif My mother danced all night and Roberta's was sick. That's why we were taken to St. Bonny's. People want to put their arms around you when you tell them you were in a shelter, but it really wasn't bad. No big long room with one hundred beds like Bellevue. There were four to a room, and when Roberta and me came, there was a shortage of state kids, so we were the only ones assigned to 406 and could go from bed to bed if we wanted to. And we wanted to, too. We changed beds every night and for the whole four months we were there we never picked one out as our own permanent bed. It didn't start out that way. The minute I walked in and the Big Bozo introduced us, I got sick to my stomach. It was one thing to be taken out of your own bed early in the morning-it was something else to be stuck in a strange place with a girl from a whole other race. And Mary, that's my mother, she was right. Every now and then she would stop dancing long enough to tell me something important and one of the things she said was that they never washed their hair and they smelled funny. Roberta sure did. Smell funny, I mean. So when the Big Bozo (nobody ever called her Mrs. Itkin, just like nobody every said St. Bonaventure)-when she said, "Twyla, this is Roberta. Roberta, this is Twyla.

  • Backstage, Frontstage Interactions: Everyday Racial Events and White College Students
    BACKSTAGE, FRONTSTAGE INTERACTIONS: EVERYDAY RACIAL EVENTS AND WHITE COLLEGE STUDENTS By LESLIE A. HOUTS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2004 Copyright 2004 by Leslie A. Houts This dissertation is dedicated to the thousands of U.S. college students who allowed me to read their personal thoughts, feelings and interactions. I also dedicate this to their instructors, who encouraged them to think critically about race and who ultimately made this dissertation possible. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A project of this magnitude would not have been possible without the support and assistance of so many wonderful people. I foremost would like to thank each member of my dissertation committee: Joe Feagin, Connie Shehan, Debra King, Hernán Vera, and Jay Gubrium. They have generously offered their time, support, and expertise during this dissertation project. I am especially truly grateful to have Joe as my chair. Joe encouraged me intellectually, but mostly he believed in my abilities. I will cherish our conversations at Books Inc., Borders bookstore, and Poe Springs. I thank Connie Shehan and Debra King who inspire me to become a feminist intellectual in my scholarship, the classroom, and the community. During most of my graduate school years, Connie served as the director of the University Center Excellence on Teaching; her office with the generous help of Diane Buehn and Nadine Gillis provided me with support and administrative help in beginning this project. I would also like to thank professors Charles Gattone, Beree Darby, William Marsiglio, and Barbara Zsembik for their mentoring and guidance.

Gifford University of Nevada, Reno In the late 1960s, Holloway House Publishing Company, a niche pub- lisher of adult magazines and erotic paperbacks, emerged as an unexpected center of black literary production. Founded in 1959 by two Hollywood publicists, Ralph Weinstock and Bentley Morriss, Holloway House in its early years published an eclectic mix of high- and low-brow materi- als, including skin magazines Adam and Knight, biographies about Jayne Mansfield and Ernest Hemingway, and the literature of Casanova and the Marquis de Sade. However, following the Watts uprising of 1965, Morriss and Weinstock changed the direction of the Los Angeles-based company by publishing mass-market paperbacks targeted specifically toward black working-class consumers. The two white publishers recognized the upris- ings in Watts and in other black neighborhoods across the country as a crisis of representation, and they capitalized on this crisis by creating a culture industry that catered to a large-scale black readership. This was a major development in the world of mass-market literature. Of course, the mass production of inexpensive and entertaining reading material for the American public has a long history, going back to the dime novels of the nineteenth century. But the dime novel and its early twentieth-century suc- cessor, the pulp magazine, were literary commodities marketed to whites and ethnic immigrants who worked in America’s industrial centers.
