  • Uaac-Aauc Conference 2014
    UAAC-AAUC CONFERENCE 2014 October 23 to October 26 OCAD University www.uaac-aauc.com Toronto, Canada 1 Bienvenue au congrès! Au nom du conseil d’administration de l’Association d’art des universités du Canada, je souhaite la bienvenue à tous les participants au congrès 2014 de Toronto. C’est toujours un plaisir pour l’Association de venir à Toronto, mais cette année, nous sommes particulièrement heureux d’être accueillis par l’Université OCAD, un établissement jouissant d’une longue et brillante feuille de route en ce qui a trait à la production de certains des plus importants artistes du Canada. J’aimerais remercier l’Université OCAD et sa présidente, Sara Diamond, pour le parrainage de cette conférence. Des remerciements particuliers vont aux coprésidents du comité d’organisation sur place, Charles Reeve et Caroline Langill, ainsi qu’aux membres de leur équipe, Claudette Lauzon, Keith Bresnahan, Anda Kubis, Adam Tindale, Audrey Hudson, Jessica Wyman, Laragh Halldorson et Sarah McLean Knapp. Le programme du congrès de cette année s’annonce très excitant—et rempli! Nous essayons une nouveauté cette année, une journée supplémentaire dédiée au perfectionnement professionnel et à des séances pédagogiques. En tant qu’Association d’art des universités du Canada, nous avons une responsabilité particulière à l’égard du perfectionnement professionnel de nos étudiants aux cycles supérieurs. Comme les emplois traditionnels en enseignement et dans les musées se raréfient, il nous faut aider nos étudiants à trouver des carrières intéressantes, tant au sein des universités qu’à l’extérieur de celles-ci. Je vous encourage à venir écouter notre conférencière Jennifer Polk, du site From PhD to Life, parler de ces possibilités dimanche matin à 9 h 30, et à participer aux tables rondes sur le perfectionnement professionnel et pédagogique qui suivront.

  • How Baseball Is Like the Christian Walk!
    How baseball is like the Christian walk! By: David E. Prince, PhD ! Baseball means dealing with failure. "There is more Met than Yankee in all of us," as Roger !Angell has poignantly written.! Every person who has ever played the game of baseball has been a consistent failure. It has been more than 70 years since the Splendid Splinter, Ted Williams, finished the 1941 baseball season with a .406 batting average. Williams' failure rate of 60 percent means that he failed less often than any batter in the seven subsequent decades. In fact, only five other players in the live ball era (since 1920) have matched the success of his 60 percent failure rate. Babe Ruth, known for hitting 714 home runs, struck out 1,330 times in his Major League Baseball career. The Cy Young Award is baseball's most coveted honor for the game's best pitcher each season. !And yet the award's namesake lost 316 games as a major league pitcher.! The reality that baseball is a game of managed failure for every player, even the great ones, is one of the reasons the game imbedded so deeply in the fabric of American culture. Baseball became the national pastime because it reflected the national character -- a collective team endeavor that called consistently for individual responsibility and personal sacrifice for the greater good. John Updike noted, baseball is "an essentially lonely game." Once the batting order is set there is nowhere to hide; your turn at the plate is coming. The fact that the whole team is counting on you in that moment produces the possibility of personal exultation or humiliation.

  • Family Friendly Things to Do
    Family Friendly Things To Do “I knew that I was going to enjoy my time strolling through town, visiting shops, eating at cafes and pubs, and learning about the almost 400 years of history the town has to offer, but I wasn’t so sure there was a lot for the kids to enjoy. Was I ever wrong!” Suitcases and Sippy Cups Portsmouth, New Hampshire is one of our favorite destinations for a short New England getaway: Each time we visit, we discover something new. During our most recent Portsmouth mini-vacation, we found foodie delights, explored the many wonders of Prescott Park, and had a blast at Water Country. As a seacoast city just over an hour's drive from Boston, Portsmouth is a hotspot in the summertime, and with good reason: The Prescott Park Arts Festival brings world -class live entertainment to New England at affordable prices all season long. The lush gardens in Prescott Park and across the street at the Strawbery Banke Museum are gorgeous oases in the summer months. Water fun abounds, whether at a water park, on one of Portsmouth’s islands, or aboard a river cruise. However, the town shines in the colder months too, especially during the holidays. The annual Vintage Christmas celebration is on our must-do list. Whenever you decide to go, there is an abundance of fun for families. Mommy Poppins Something For Everyone… The key to a successful family vacation is choosing a destination where there is something available for everyone to enjoy. The wider the age range (if traveling with two or three generations), the more options you may want to consider.
