However, the staff of the VHS under the leadership of our excellent Executive Director, Steve Perkins, adapted smoothly, and the Society continued to fulfill its mission of engaging both Vermonters and "Vermonters-at-heart" in the exploration of our state's rich heritage, albeit in a vitual manner for the past six months. Before the arrival of the pandemic there were many exciting Victoria Hughes, our Museum & Education Manager, were things happening. Here are just a few: The VHS published on track to set record numbers until schools closed in March.

Trois personnalités féminines soutenant la campagne pour contrôler le commerce international des armes --- la présidente libérienne, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, l’actrice Helen Mirren, titulaire d’un Oscar et l’ancienne présidente irlandaise, Mary Robinson --- ainsi que 20 journalistes célèbres, ont demandé ce lundi 23 avril aux gouvernements d’établir un traité strict sur le commerce des armes, fondé sur le droit international humanitaire et relatif aux droits humains, afin de cesser les transferts d’armes qui entretiennent les conflits et la violence dans le monde. Les gouvernements ont officiellement jusqu’à la fin du mois pour soumettre leurs projets de traité au Secrétaire général des Nations unies. Si ces propositions ne mentionnent pas explicitement l’interdiction des transferts d’armes qui aggravent les conflits, la pauvreté et les atteintes aux droits humains, il existe un risque réel que le traité qui en résultera ne puisse sauver aucune vie, selon les partisans de la campagne. Il est à craindre que des gouvernements sceptiques, comme les États-Unis, tentent d’empêcher l’adoption d’un traité strict. L’actrice Helen Mirren a déclaré : « Du Kenya au Brésil et au Sri Lanka, il y a plus d’armes que jamais, plus faciles et moins chères à obtenir.

  • Lisa Angell N’Oubliez Pas
    LISA ANGELL N’OUBLIEZ PAS D'origine italienne par son père, Lisa Angell grandit à Nice avec un seul rêve en tête : devenir chanteuse. Dès l’âge de 11 ans, elle participe à plusieurs radio-crochets et sort vainqueur de celui du carnaval de Nice quatre années consécutives. A 15 ans, Lisa entame une formation de chant classique au conservatoire, puis se décide résolument à faire du chant son métier. Elle sillonne alors la Côte d'Azur en se produisant dans les piano-bars. En 2001, portée par sa passion, la jeune femme part à l’aventure et s’installe brièvement à Paris. De là naitra le titre Des Années Après, écrit par Didier Barbelivien. Huit ans plus tard, une invitation de Dani Lary sur l’un de ses spectacles mène Lisa à une rencontre avec Patrick Sébastien sur le plateau du Plus Grand Cabaret Du Monde. © Nathalie Guyon – FTV Ce dernier lui propose alors de chanter sur Les Années Bonheur, puis la produit et lui écrit des chansons pour son premier album « Les Divines », sorti en 2011. S’ensuit un 2e album en 2013, « Des Mots… », introduit par le single Je Saurai T'aimer, reprise du titre de Mélanie Cohl, et adaptation française de The Power Of Love de Céline Dion. Cette même année, Lisa intègre la troupe de chanteurs récurrents de l'émission Les Chansons D'abord, présentée par Natasha St-Pier sur France 3, puis collabore avec Tony Carreira en reprenant L'oiseau Et L'enfant sur l’album de ce dernier, avant de rendre hommage aux artistes-interprètes féminines des années 30, 40 et 50, au printemps 2014 avec son 3e album « Frou-Frou ».

  • 6. from Vietnam to Iraq: Negative Trends in Television War Reporting
    THE PUBLIC RIGHT TO KNOW 6. From Vietnam to Iraq: Negative trends in television war reporting ABSTRACT In 1876, an American newspaperman with the US 7th Cavalry, Mark Kellogg, declared: ‘I go with Custer, and will be at the death.’1 This overtly heroic pronouncement embodies what many still want to believe is the greatest role in journalism: to go up to the fight, to be with ‘the boys’, to expose yourself to risk, to get the story and the blood-soaked images, to vividly describe a world of strength and weakness, of courage under fire, of victory and defeat—and, quite possibly, to die. So culturally embedded has this idea become that it raises hopes among thousands of journalism students worldwide that they too might become that holiest of entities in the media pantheon, the television war correspondent. They may find they have left it too late. Accompanied by evolutionary technologies and breathtaking media change, TV war reporting has shifted from an independent style of filmed reportage to live pieces-to-camera from reporters who have little or nothing to say. In this article, I explore how this has come about; offer some views about the resulting negative impact on practitioners and the public; and explain why, in my opinion, our ‘right to know’ about warfare has been seriously eroded as a result. Keywords: conflict reporting, embedded, television war reporting, war correspondents TONY MANIATY Australian Centre for Independent Journalism N 22nd December 1961, the first American serviceman was killed in Saigon. By April 1969 a staggering 543,000 US troops occupied OSouth Vietnam, with calls from field commanders for even more.

  • Legislative Update for March 9, 2019
    Supporting Vermonters to lead healthy and satisfying lives community by community Legislative Update for March 9, 2019 The Legislature is on Town Meeting Day Break for one week. When it returns on March 12th there will be a flurry of activity to pass bills out of committees of jurisdiction by the March 15th crossover deadline. This deadline does not apply to bills authored by full committees or the money bills. The House Appropriations Committee is aiming to complete their budget proposal by March 19th. Early Stage Appropriations Advocacy is Successful Thanks to great advocacy efforts by advocates and agencies from around the state the Vermont Care Partners provider network made a good showing in the recommendations of the two key house policy committees in their FY2020 budget memos to the House Appropriations Committee. In fact, the House Health Care Committee made increased funding to improve designated and specialized service agency (DA/SSA) workforce compensation their number one funding priority. While the House Health Care Committee requested a 4% increase for DA/SSAs, the House Human Services Committee requested a 2% increase. Now the House Appropriations Committee will weigh those memos and the other advocacy they have received from: the public hearings; our advocacy days for disabilities and mental health; and individual outreach. While Representative Hooper is responsible for the DMH budget and Representative Lanpher is responsible for the DAIL budget, the full committee votes on priorities as a committee. In addition to improved funding for workforce, the House Health Care Committee put in a plug for electronic health records (EHR) systems one-time investment and for the workforce development proposal for the Tobacco Settlement funds from Vermont Care Partners which calls for a 3-year commitment to work at a DA/SSA to receive tuition assistance or loan repayment.

  • Changes in Gubernatorial Term Lengths
    The Vermont Legislative Research Service http://www.uvm.edu/~vlrs/ Contact: Professor Jack (Anthony) Gierzynski [email protected] 517 Old Mill, Burlington, VT 05405-4110 Changes in Gubernatorial Term Lengths Since 1780, gubernatorial term lengths in the United States have gradually evolved from an average term length of one year to two years, to today’s common term length of four years. Today, forty-eight of the fifty states have gubernatorial term lengths of four years (see Figure 1). Vermont and New Hampshire are the only remaining states in the Union with two-year terms. Thirty-three of the states with four-year gubernatorial terms also have state senate terms of four years, and state house terms of two years (see Figure 2).1 60 50 40 4-Year Term 30 3-Year Term 2-Year Term 20 Number Number States of 1-Year Term 10 0 1780 1820 1860 1900 1940 1964 1980 2016 Figure 1: Historical Changes in Term Lengths 1 Illinois and New Jersey have shifting state senate terms with two four-year terms followed by one two-year term.
