J’ai l’immense plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue sur le territoire traditionnel non-cédé de la nation algonquine Anishinabe pour la conférence annuelle 2017 de la Société canadienne d’anthropologie (CASCA) et de l’Union internationale des sciences anthropologiques et ethnologiques (UISAE), où nous sommes accueillis par la belle Université d’Ottawa. Just a little history on the Algonquins of Quebec: The Algonquin people have lived in the Ottawa Valley for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. Our people have never surrendered, abandoned, sold or negotiated a treaty with the Crown and today the Algonquin people are working hard for the rightful place in the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau, Quebec. Juste un peu d’histoire sur les Algonquins du Québec : Les Algonquins ont vécu dans la Vallée d’Ottawa depuis des milliers d’années avant l’arrivée des Européens. Notre peuple n’a jamais cédé, abandonné, vendu ou négocié un traité avec la Couronne et aujourd’hui, les Algonquins travaillent fort pour que la ville d’Ottawa et de Gatineau (Québec) leur reviennent. Today, the Algonquins are receiving more recognition within the Algonquin Territory. We are working towards building a new relationship with not only the Government of Canada but also with the neighbouring municipalities within the traditional territory. Aujourd’hui, les Algonquins sont plus reconnus sur le territoire algonquin. Nous travaillons à bâtir de nouvelles relations avec non seulement le gouvernement du Canada mais également avec les municipalités voisines du territoire traditionnel. I would like to thank and congratulate the organizers, volunteers and the University of Ottawa on hosting such an important event here on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Peoples. 5 Welcome J’aimerais remercier et féliciter les organisateurs, les volontaires et l’Université d’Ottawa d’avoir organisé un évènement aussi important, ici, sur le territoire traditionnel des peuples algonquins.

  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

  • The Voices of NPR
    Episode 11 – Michael Goldfarb – All Along the Watchtower The Voices of NPR And now a personal word, Michael Goldfarb has the voice of a journalist who has witnessed important events. He speaks with weariness and authority. His voice evokes a chorus of NPR announcers who report from near and distant places. Writer Dierdre Mask noted in an article in the Atlantic magazine, “We can’t see NPR reporters, so we have to picture them. And because they are with us in our most private moments—alone in the car, half-asleep in bed—we start to think we know them.” And we do think we know them. Their voices are iconic: distinct, informative, comforting, familiar. Their voices are the sounds of our better selves when we are bright and learned and engaged in the affairs of the world. No matter the day’s events, they give us hope that in a crazy world, sense and sensibility will prevail. Here are a few names I grew up with: Susan Stamberg, Bob Edwards, Carl Kasell, Noah Adams, Linda Wertheimer, Robert Siegel, Scott Simon, Cokie Roberts, and Bob Mondello. Each name evokes a voice, a style, a beat, that is the news soundtrack of our lives and shared imagination. We hear their stories as they report from bureaus from foreign capitals: Eleanor Beardsley, Paris; Rob Gifford, London; Ofiebea Quist-Arcton, Dakar; and, of course, Sylvia Poggioli, Rome. We hear war correspondents in the thick of battle: Michael Golfarb in Northern Ireland and Bosnia; Kelly McEvers in the midst of death and kidnapping in the Arab Spring, Tom Bowman among the fire and mortars of Helmand Province, and David Gilkey ambushed and killed by the Taliban.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

    Response, December 22, 2010 e-DOC: 3653567 ccmMercury: 2010-000690 E-mail to Michel A. Duguay, Full Professor, Université Laval Dear Dr. Duguay: I am writing in reference to your letter of December 6, 2010, which was sent by e-mail to Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) President Michael Binder and to Greg Rzentkowski, a Director General with the CNSC. Your letter concerns the ongoing public hearing pertaining to the Hydro-Québec application to renew its operating licence for the Gentilly-2 nuclear generating station in Bécancour, Quebec. Mr. Binder has asked me to answer your letter in my capacity as Commission Secretary. First of all., let me confirm that the Commission Members who have been asked to rule on Hydro-Québec’s application have received a copy of your letter. However, only the submissions by Hydro-Québec and by CNSC personnel were considered on December 10, which was the first day of the hearing (Hearing Day 1). As specified in the Notice of Public Hearing (enclosed), interventions from members of the public will be heard in Hearing Day 2, which will be held on April 13 and 14, 2011, in Bécancour. As you know, CNSC hearings are held on two separate days several months apart. Members of the public therefore have an opportunity to observe the presentations made by the licence holder and CNSC staff during Day 1, as well as the questions asked by the Commission Members. Interested members of the public can obtain a transcript or view a Webcast of the Day 1 proceedings and thus have more time and information with which to prepare their own submissions and presentations for Hearing Day 2.

  • In but Not of the Revolution: Loyalty, Liberty, and the British Occupation of Philadelphia
    IN BUT NOT OF THE REVOLUTION: LOYALTY, LIBERTY, AND THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OF PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Aaron Sullivan May 2014 Examining Committee Members: David Waldstreicher, Advisory Chair, Department of History Susan Klepp, Department of History Gregory Urwin, Department of History Judith Van Buskirk, External Member, SUNY Cortland © Copyright 2014 by Aaron Sullivan All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT A significant number of Pennsylvanians were not, in any meaningful sense, either revolutionaries or loyalists during the American War for Independence. Rather, they were disaffected from both sides in the imperial dispute, preferring, when possible, to avoid engagement with the Revolution altogether. The British Occupation of Philadelphia in 1777 and 1778 laid bare the extent of this popular disengagement and disinterest, as well as the dire lengths to which the Patriots would go to maintain the appearance of popular unity. Driven by a republican ideology that relied on popular consent in order to legitimate their new governments, American Patriots grew increasingly hostile, intolerant, and coercive toward those who refused to express their support for independence. By eliminating the revolutionaries’ monopoly on military force in the region, the occupation triggered a crisis for the Patriots as they saw popular support evaporate. The result was a vicious cycle of increasing alienation as the revolutionaries embraced ever more brutal measures in attempts to secure the political acquiescence and material assistance of an increasingly disaffected population. The British withdrawal in 1778, by abandoning the region’s few true loyalists and leaving many convinced that American Independence was now inevitable, shattered what little loyalism remained in the region and left the revolutionaries secure in their control of the state.
