    2020 CHAIN BRIDGE DISTRICT LIFE TO EAGLE GUIDELINES 2020 Edition: This edition of the CBD Life to Eagle Guidelines reflects relevant BSA policies and publications in effect as of January 15, 2020. It also contains explanations, interpretive information and suggestions intended to help Scouts avoid common errors that could delay their progress along the path to Eagle rank. Because BSA policies can change, Scouts should work closely with a Unit Eagle Advisor who will be knowledgeable concerning future policy changes that could affect the Life-to-Eagle process. On February 1, 2019, BSA started admitting girls to "Scouts BSA". Advancement requirements for girls are the same as for boys, but there are some "Temporary Transition Rules" for new Scouts (boys and girls) who joined Scouts BSA for the first time in 2019. The Temporary Transition Rules are not available for new Scouts BSA members who joined after December 31, 2019. Many Scouters support the Life to Eagle process in the Chain Bridge District. Special recognition is given to: Richard Meyers, Chain Bridge District Eagle Chair The Chain Bridge District Eagle Board Eagle Advisers and Project Coaches in CBD troops, crews, and ship These dedicated adult leaders contribute their valuable time and patient assistance to help Life Scouts attain the highest rank in Scouting. Charge to the Eagle Scout I charge you to undertake your citizenship with a solemn dedication. Be a leader, but only toward the best. Lift up every task you do and every office. You hold to the high level of service to God and your fellow man.

    THE UNIVERSE Interviews with and mementos from “THE MAN” who changed comics and pop culture Includes rarities from THE STAN LEE ARCHIVES! edited by Danny Fingeroth and Roy Thomas CONTENTS About the material that makes up THE STAN LEE UNIVERSE Some of this book’s contents originally appeared in TwoMorrows’ Write Now! #18 and Alter Ego #74, as well as various other sources. This material has been redesigned and much of it is accompanied by different illustrations than when it first appeared. Some material is from Roy Thomas’s personal archives. Some was created especially for this book. Approximately one-third of the material in the SLU was found by Danny Fingeroth in June 2010 at the Stan Lee Collection (aka “ The Stan Lee Archives ”) of the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, and is material that has rarely, if ever, been seen by the general public. The transcriptions—done especially for this book—of audiotapes of 1960s radio programs featuring Stan with other notable personalities, should be of special interest to fans and scholars alike.

  • Programme on Comics, and Reviews Films for Electric Sheep Magazine
    1 Comica Symposium 2010 Transitions: New Directions in Comics Studies Friday November 5th 2010 9:30 am to 5 pm, room B01, Clore Management Centre, School of Arts, Birkbeck, University of London, London WC1E 7HX A one-day event promoting the multi-disciplinary academic study of comics/comix/manga/bande dessinée and other forms of sequential art Comics studies is a growing field in the academy, as testified by the emergence of multiple conferences and journals dedicated to comics in all their forms both nationally and internationally. It is an area that occupies, in the UK at least, a necessarily interdisciplinary space. Such a position is potentially one of strength, allowing for the convergence of diverse disciplinary knowledges, including; English, Cultural and Media Studies, Cultural History, Fine Art, Modern Languages, and History of Visual Media. Transitions is a one-day symposium devoted exclusively to promoting multi-disciplinary research of comics and graphic novels, manga, bande dessinée, webcomics and other forms of sequential art. Rather than be restricted by a specific theme, the aim of the symposium is to highlight research from postgraduate research students and early career lecturers bringing together different perspectives and methodologies, whether cultural, historical, or formal, thereby mapping new trends and providing a space for dialogue and further collaboration to emerge. Dr. Roger Sabin, Reader in Popular Culture at the University of the Arts and author of Adult Comics and Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels, will introduce the event and respond to the panel papers. By thinking about comics across different disciplines, the intention is to spark debate and address a wide spectrum of questions.
