  • World Food Day 2018
    World food day 2018 industrial agriculture-food system, corporate food production continues to fail in both: reducing hunger as well as providing safe and nutritious food. The World Food Programme (WFP) estimated in 2015 that there are about 795 million in the world are hungry, 98% of which live in developing countries. Moreover, around 75% of the world's hungry live in rural areas and depend almost completely on agriculture for food, employment and income. The FAO has also estimated that half of the world's hungry are from small-hold farming communities; another 20% are from landless farming communities; about 10% depend on fishing, herding and forest resources, The World Food Day (WFD) is commemorated and 20% live in slums in and around cities, many every 16th of October to mark the initiation of a of whom are migrants from rural areas.

  • World Food Day Project at Lackawanna College Michele Microbiology Student
    The EarthBox® for World Food Day Project at Lackawanna College Michele Microbiology Student Being part of the EarthBox for World Food Day Project at Lackawanna College has opened my eyes to world hunger. The project made me very aware of the fact that people in undeveloped countries suffer from lack of food; surprisingly and despite the rise in obesity, developed countries, like the United States, have people suffering from hunger and malnutrition too. Awareness of the problem is a key to the future. It is important to take in our surroundings and be able to process what is going on around us both locally and globally. The EarthBox for World Food Day Project increased my awareness of hunger and encouraged me to be part of the solution. On October 16, World Food Day is observed internationally to promote the awareness of inadequate food and nutrition resources around the world and the hunger it causes. It is not hard to imagine hunger. Look around you. Think of eight people you know. Statistics say that one in every eight people worldwide is suffering from malnutrition. They might have the appearance of a well fed person, but they are suffering from not having the proper nutrients for the body to operate, or supply itself properly. Alleviating this hunger is the goal of World Food Day, and for many other organizations like it. In 2013, the theme for World Food Day is “Sustainable Food Systems for Food Security and Nutrition”. The EarthBox® for World Food Day Project at Lackawanna College Michele Microbiology Student You might ask “Why is food security a topic for an entire year for World Food Day? , and what are “Sustainable Food Systems for Food Security and Nutrition”? They are systems that can produce nutritious food repeatedly without depleting resources.

  • THE Evening NEWS
    THE EVENing NEWS THE EVENing News - Eugene Veg Education Network (EVEN) October 3, 2005 PATRICIA ROBINETT GUEST SPEAKER Patricia Robinett was born and raised, like Dorothy, in Kansas. In grade school her class made a field trip to a slaughterhouse in the Kansas City stockyards and she immediately became a vegetarian. She moved to the beautiful emerald green Willamette Valley in 1988 and decided never to click her heels and never to go back to Kansas. She drove through Kansas a few years ago but did not stop. Patricia is a published author, writing various articles on foods, diet and health in local and national publications. She is currently writing a book on healing the trauma of circumcision and you might have seen her at the Eugene Celebration in the community causeway booth for NOCIRC (the National Organization of Circumcision Information Research Centers). Patricia has taught conflict resolution with Eugene PeaceWorks, was trained by White Bird and volunteered in the crisis department. She now hosts two free self-healing classes each month and facilitates a weekly study group based on the book A Course In Miracles. She loves the internet because it allows her to stay in touch with many long-term friends all over the world by e-mail and she hosts mailing lists that discuss topics such as miracles, healing, psychology, astrology, politics and human rights. Patricia is a certified clinical hypnotherapist in private practice in Eugene. She coaches clients to excellence and health on every level: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Patricia lives in a world where cowardly lions reclaim their courage, tin woodsmen find their hearts, straw men discover their brilliance, and where we’re always safe at home if we just turn our attention inside to our hearts.

Other Broadsides 17 Maps 18 Newspapers 18 Periodicals 19 Photos and Illustrations 19 Genealogy 21 Histories of the War of 1812 23 Maryland in the War of 1812 25 This document serves as a guide to the Maryland Center for History and Culture’s library items and archival collections related to the War of 1812. It includes manuscript collections (MS), vertical files (VF), published works, maps, prints, and photographs that may support research on the military, political, civilian, social, and economic dimensions of the war, including the United States’ relations with France and Great Britain in the decade preceding the conflict. The bulk of the manuscript material relates to military operations in the Chesapeake Bay region, Maryland politics, Baltimore- based privateers, and the impact of economic sanctions and the British blockade of the Bay (1813-1814) on Maryland merchants. Many manuscript collections, however, may support research on other theaters of the war and include correspondence between Marylanders and military and political leaders from other regions. Although this inventory includes the most significant manuscript collections and published works related to the War of 1812, it is not comprehensive. Library and archival staff are continually identifying relevant sources in MCHC’s holdings and acquiring new sources that will be added to this inventory. Accordingly, researchers should use this guide as a starting point in their research and a supplement to thorough searches in MCHC’s online library catalog.

  • Code-Switching in Political Discourse: a Study of Nasser's Political
    Code-switching in Political Discourse: A Study of Nasser’s Political Speeches Michelle Joann Ann Konik Key West, Florida B.A. in International Affairs, Florida State University, 2017 A Master Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures University of Virginia May, 2019 Konik 1 1. Introduction It has long been known that an appealing rhetorical ability and political power are closely interconnected (Fairclough, 2001, p.84). While language is essential for the maintenance of power; the power and effect of language in turn rely on the influence and authority of the individuals who use it. Consequently, the ability to understand how language functions is crucial for understanding the culture it presents. The ideological assumptions embedded in language use are largely evident through an explanation of existing social conventions which are seen as outcomes of struggles for power (Fairclough, 2001, p. 84) As an influential revolutionary, Gamal Abdel Nasser was an enduring figure in Egypt’s history from 1957 to 1970. When Nasser became the second president of Egypt in 1956, the use of Arabic language in the political arena was revitalized. While Egypt's first president, Mohammed Naguib displayed a monolithic preference for using Modern Standard Arabic in his speeches, his successor, Gamal Abdel Nasser, was notable for mixing the Egyptian dialect with Modern Standard Arabic in his speeches. In order to influence the public and establish new social reforms, Nasser relied on the linguistic fluidity of Arabic to lead him to victory (Westad, 2005, p.
