Throughout the partnership, which has welcomed more than 4 million visitors to the N/BMFA since 1999, numerous exhibitions have brought Boston’s artistic treasures to Japan. To mark the anniversary, and celebrate the Museum’s historic relationship with Japan, the MFA has organized Millet, Barbizon and Fontainebleau, which is on view in Nagoya April 19–August 31, 2014. A highlight of the exhibition, Jean-François Millet’s masterpiece The Sower (1850), will travel to Japan along with a number of important works from the MFA’s renowned collection of French paintings from the mid-19th century. In Japan, Millet, Barbizon and The Sower, 1850, Fontainebleau also travels to the Museum of Art, Kochi, and the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Jean-François Millet Museum, Tokyo. Additionally, a series of special events and programs in Nagoya surrounding the 15-year anniversary includes a Directors' Dialogue with Dr. Shunkichi Baba, Director of the N/BMFA, and Malcolm Rogers, the MFA’s Ann and Graham Gund Director. This exhibition of 64 paintings displays one of the world’s premier collections of landscape art from 19th-century France, and features artists including Millet, Camille Corot, Narcisse Virgile Diaz de la Penã, Théodore Rousseau and Claude Monet. -
3.7 CULTURAL RESOURCES 3. 7 .1 Existing Conditions
3.7 CULTURAL RESOURCES 3. 7 .1 Existing Conditions Information provided within the cultural resource overview of the Salton Sea Anomaly area has been obtained from: record search data (Imperial Valley College Museum and San Diego Museum of Man); survey/excavation reports (Rogers 1966; Mccown 1953-1957; Gallegos 1980); and personal communication (Gallegos 1981). A detailed cultural resource overview is located in Appendix 3. 7 of this report. The liter ature search survey encompasses a 111,444 acre (45,119 ha) study region. Moreover, approximately 54 percent of the study area is covered by the Salton Sea. The entire project area contains recorded evidence of historic and prehistoric occupation/land use. At various times in the prehistoric past the study region was covered by a large inter mittent body of water referred to as Lake Cahuilla. The anthropological implications of the former lake are outstanding. Lake Cahuilla created a rich environment for fish, shellfish, birds, mammals and man during the past 2000 years. This data as pertains to the Salton Sea Anomaly area is best preserved along the relict 40-foot MSL (12 m) shoreline. The studies of Malcolm Rogers and B.E. Mccowan stand out as being the most interesting for the amount and kinds of materials encountered. Radiocarbon dates identify these areas as post AD 1400. Sites contain .a range of materials, including midden, bone, shell, pottery, lithics, milling tools and charcoal. Rogers reports one resource located within the study area as a four-mile long occupation site. During the J past four decades much has passed to change the character of cultural resources along the relict shoreline; natural agencies, gravel quarries, water conveyances and access roads, plus recreational activities have all disturbed a large share of archaeological sites. -
Propaganda Found in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts
RIVIER ACADEMIC JOURNAL, VOLUME 3, NUMBER 2, FALL 2007 PROPAGANDA FOUND IN THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Christina Caruso* Undergraduate Student, B.A. in Communications Program, Rivier College In today’s society, propaganda is visible in every direction we turn. It floods the television, Internet and radio. It is disseminated through the government, opinion leaders, and our friends. It is hard to determine the difference between propaganda and persuasion; however, there is a fine line between the two. I pose the question: Is it typical for an art museum to employ propaganda? This could be the case with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. Through a discussion of propaganda and its features, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts will be analyzed to prove if propaganda is present in their architecture and the way it is guided by its current director, Malcolm Rogers. And, even if propagandistic, is the museum sticking to their mission statement which is to “[house] and [preserve] preeminent collections and [aspire] to serve a wide variety of people through direct encounters with works of art” (mfa.org). This paper will discuss what propaganda is, and if the MFA Boston is trying to employ propaganda. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the largest museums in the United States. The original museum was founded in 1870 and was located in a Gothic Revival building on Copley Square, in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. It moved to its current location on Huntington Avenue, in 1909. It is a significantly imposing structure, with its modern, yet Romanesque concrete columns located and facing the colleges, businesses and residences in the surrounding areas. -

Peltz Hopes July 30 Ennis-Rosado Match Will Pave The
PELTZ HOPES JULY 30 ENNIS- ROSADO MATCH WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR A RETURN TO THE GLORY DAYS OF PHILADELPHIA BOXING–WATCH FIGHT LIVE ON GOFIGHTLIVE.TV Click for full event info Philadelphia, PA–When Derek “Pooh” Ennis defends his USBA junior middleweight title against fellow-Philadelphian ‘King’ Gabriel Rosado on Friday evening, July 30, at the Arena in South Philadelphia, it will bring back memories of some of the local showdowns that once made Philadelphia one of the boxing capitals of the United States. The list of outstanding fights reads like a page out of Who’s Who in Philadelphia boxing history: Al Ettore vs. Gus Dorazio, Bob Montgomery vs. Wesley Mouzon, Charley Scott vs. Sugar Hart, George Benton vs. Joey Giardello, Gypsy Joe Harris vs. Kitten Hayward, Bennie Briscoe vs. Cyclone Hart…. You could go on and on. “The formula for success in Philadelphia always has been to match two local fighters against each other,” says Nigel Collins, editor of The Ring magazine. “There is nothing like it anywhere else.” Hall-of-Fame promoter J Russell Peltz, who is staging the Ennis-Rosado fight, agrees. “In 1961, when I was 14 years old, my dad took me to the old Arena at 46th & Market Street to see Harold Johnson defend his light-heavyweight title against Von Clay,” Peltz said. “Johnson was from Manayunk and Von Clay was from West Philadelphia. It was an unusually hot night in late April and the Arena was not air-conditioned and you couldn’t move in there it was so packed. It was sweltering. -

The 101St Madonna Della Cava Feast
VOL. 125 - NO. 33 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, AUGUST 13, 2021 $.35 A COPY The 101st Madonna Della Cava Feast The 101st Madonna Della Cava feast honor- ing Maria SS Della Cava, Principal Patron of Pietraperzia, Sicily took place August 6–8, 2021, in Boston’s North End. The three-day celebration News Briefs culminated in a Grand Procession in which the by Sal Giarratani image of the Madonna was carried through the streets, accompanied by society members and marching bands. Thousands Hit Streets Protesting (Photos by Matt Conti Vaccine Passports/Lockdowns MattConti.com) Citizens have taken to the streets in several coun- tries, among them France, Italy, the UK and even Australia to protest vaccine passports and extended lockdowns on the weekend of July 25th. These anti- government protests were strongly denounced by national leaders and police officials. On July 24th, some 160,000 attended public protests in France against president Emmanuel Macron’s vaccine passport requirement, in which those who choose not to accept a COVID vaccine would be excluded from nearly all aspects of public life such as entering restaurants, bars, theatres, public transit, etc. The mandate could also see business owners go to jail for not enforcing the new rules. On July 25th, Macron criticized protesters saying, “This is not free- dom, it is called irresponsibility, egoism,” according to a Google translation of a French report. London also saw massive protests over the same weekend as Boris Johnson announced a similar vaccine passport in the nation. Coverage of the protests showed people holding signs with slogans “Show your papers, comrades,” a reminder to many of the old Soviet Union’s “internal passports.” Democrats Hide Party’s Racist Roots Democrat leaders claim “the GOP wants to white- wash American history” by barring critical race theory from schools, but they refuse to acknowledge their party “did more than any other institution in American life to preserve” slavery and “enforce Jim Crow,” observes RealClearInvestigations’ Mark Hemmingway. -
