WOLF TO WOOF: THE STORY OF DOGS Virginia Living Museum Continuing through May 14, 2017 Today, dogs enhance the lives of millions in countless ways, but they are also some of humans’ oldest friends. Ancient clues like cave paintings and burials reveal that dogs and people have lived together for thousands of years. But why have humans formed such close relationships with dogs, and not cows or chickens? This exhibit sniffs out the facts on dogs and explores what makes the human/dog relationship so unique. Through multimedia displays, dioramas and interactive stations visitors can learn about the different types of dogs, how they are related to wolves, how they have helped humans and what we can do to help them. Enter a "howling area" and guess what dogs are saying, test your nose against a dog's great sense of smell, and climb into an avalanche scene to see what it's like to be saved by a search-and-rescue dog. This is the largest and most comprehensive traveling exhibition ever created on the history, biology and evolution of dogs. It uses the familiarity and love of these four-legged friends to explore science and biological concepts. 524 J. Clyde Morris Boulevard, 757-595-1900, www.thevlm.org. POLYNESIAN VOYAGERS The Mariners’ Museum Continuing through June 11, 2017 In collaboration with Hawaiian educators, the Hokule’a crew and staff, and the Polynesian community, this new exhibition is designed to evoke the feeling of what it is to be a voyager. Guests will encounter displays demonstrating the origin of the Polynesian culture and community and how they are inherently maritime focused. With an emphasis on navigational techniques that precede technology, the exhibition will guide visitors through the story of exploration and settlement of the vast Pacific islands. Polynesian Voyagers will feature the traditional supplies and methods encountered on a Polynesian voyaging canoe, and guests will be able to listen to Polynesian chants that would have been used in ancient times to share history among civilizations without a common language. 100 Museum Drive, 757-596-2222, www.marinersmuseum.org.

In this paper, I argue that the predominantly dystopian outlook of the past century or so marked a move away from former views on human progress. Rather than commenting on humanity’s inability to build a better society, current dystopianism betrays the view that the human species as such is an impediment to harmonious life on Earth. I discuss the shift from utopia to dystopia (and back) as a result of regarding humans as a force that does more harm than good, and I consider the possibility of human extinction within the framework of dystopian and utopian visions. The final section of the chapter turns to Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy as a fictional example that plays out the prospect of a world in which humans have all but become extinct.

    Mohawk Valley Irish Cultural

    MOHAWK VALLEY IRISH CULTURAL Volume 14, Issue 6 EVENTS NEWSLETTER June 2017 Celebrate Joyce’s Legacy on Varick Street on “Bloomsday” The city of Utica will be transformed into Dublin for one day on Saturday, June 17, as the Utica NY Area Irish Coalition will present its first “Bloomsday” Celebration with a pub crawl visiting seven stops along Varick Street in the city’s brewery district. In James Joyce’s monumental classic “Ulysses,” (often cited as the greatest English-language novel of all time) June 16 is the date that the book’s protagonist, Leopold Bloom, undertakes his one day sojourn through the streets of Dublin. Since the first two-man Bloomsday celebration in 1954, that date (or as near as practicable) continues to be celebrated in countries as far-ranging as Hungary, Italy, Australia and the Czech Republic, with a range of cultural activities including readings and dramatizations of scenes from the novel (as well as the responsible partaking of adult beverages). The UNYAIC event will start at noon with a brief gathering at Utica Brews, located at 809 Court St., Utica, and will proceed, in order, to the Saranac Brewery, Nail Creek Pub, the new Irish Cultural Building site, O’Donnell’s, The Sanctuary, and will finish at 5 PM at the Celtic Harp. Each stop will feature short readings from the book and live Irish music, and food and drinks will be available for purchase. Participants will receive a special commemorative T-shirt and will also get a passport stamped at each stop to be eligible for prize drawings at the end of the crawl.

    HOT FLASH AN ANIMATED SHORT FILM BY THEA HOLLATZ produced by WILDLING PICTURES TINMAN CREATIVE STUDIOS ACE NAISMITH is having a hot flash, and she is about to go live on local television. HOT FLASH is a journey into the funny, uncomfortable and sometimes maddening world of an aging professional woman navigating a culture that puts great emphasis on physical appearance. country of production | CANADA language | ENGLISH (no subtitles) runtime | 10 MINUTES format | 2K, COLOUR, 16:9 exhibition formats | DCP, BLU-RAY, DIGITAL FILE publicity contact | KRISTY NEVILLE, Wildling Pictures, [email protected], 647.405.6102 DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT One day, I was thinking a lot about the ineffectiveness of oscillating fans — they don’t really cut it in times of desperate heat. This sparked the idea for a protagonist in the throes of menopause, trapped indoors during a snowstorm. Playing off the breakneck pace at which news anchors pivot from mournful to cheerful in a single report, Hot Flash stars Ace, a weather woman, experiencing the futility of trying to cool off while enduring a parade of irritating circumstances. Menopause receives far less consideration than the more marketable bodily transformations, such as the deeply glamorous puberty. I wrote Hot Flash in appreciation of those people who are being phased out to make way for, or spiced up to contend with a younger model. Hot Flash examines the humour in how women of a certain age quietly endure the isolating and surely demoralizing process, and suggests perhaps the profound toll of aging as a woman can only be countered by resisting the compulsion to give a fuck.

His hallmark would be clarity of statement in a sophisticated yet comprehensible language characterised by humanity. Although it is not surprising to find such character attributes in a composer and musician, it is astounding that the composer Brett Dean can communicate so directly in a musical language that is unconditionally contemporary. This may be due to the open-mindedness of a man for whom it is not enough to write music for music’s sake but who wants to present to an audience his love of playfulness, pensive reflection and emotional engagement. The spectator experiences this range like a kaleidoscope in the ballet One of a Kind; hundreds and thousands focuses on building a bridge to INTRODUCTION popular music; and Carlo is evocative of the sensibility of the Renaissance. Dean’s compositions Intimate Decisions and Beggars and Angels were inspired by cycles of works of the same title by his wife, the painter Heather Betts.
