    Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and commentary ILDENHARD INGO GILDENHARD AND JOHN HENDERSON A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

Montréal, Quebec Application 2004-0771-9 Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2005-25 22 March 2005 CJNT-TV Montréal – Licence amendments In this decision, the Commission denies the proposal by CanWest MediaWorks Inc. (CanWest)1 to amend a condition of licence for CJNT-TV Montréal to reduce from 75% to 50% the minimum percentage of ethnic programming that must be broadcast between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. The Commission further denies the licensee’s proposal to delete a condition of licence that requires CJNT-TV to devote specific percentages of non-ethnic programming to English- and French-language programming. The Commission, however, approves CanWest’s proposal to amend conditions of CJNT-TV’s licence to delete annual requirements to serve a minimum number of ethnic groups in a minimum number of languages, while maintaining similar requirements that must be met monthly. A dissenting opinion by Commissioner Langford is attached. Background 1. In Acquisition of the assets of CJNT-TV, Decision CRTC 2000-744, 29 November 2000 (Decision 2000-744), the Commission approved an application by a subsidiary of Global Communications Limited to acquire the assets of CJNT-TV that had been held by Raymond Chabot inc., trustee of CTEQ Télévision inc., in bankruptcy. As a result of an amalgamation that included Global Communications Limited, the licensee of CJNT-TV 1 is now CanWest MediaWorks Inc.

However, Global Communications Limited, Global Television Network Inc., CanWest Media Inc. and some other CanWest subsidiaries amalgamated on 1 September 2005, to continue as CanWest MediaWorks Inc.
