The Burbank Bulletin LUTHER BURBANK MIDDLE SCHOOL The Burbank 1 HOLLYWOOD DRIVE LANCASTER, MA 01523 978-365-4558 Bulletin Volume 1, Issue 7 March 1, 2016 NASHOBA REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT A Message from the Principal In two weeks, we will be springing forward with the start of Daylight Savings Time. Mark your calendars for March 13th. And, then just one week later, we will be enjoying the Dates to Remember first day of spring. Before we know it, the concrete March 2 evidence that spring surely has “sprung” will be upon us. Rising Freshman Open For me, the first sign of spring is always the blooming of House the forsythia. It is when I see the bright yellow buds of the 6:00-8:00 p.m. forsythia that I open my eyes (and ears) to all the other signs nature has to offer - NRHS more sunlight, budding crocuses, and daffodils, sap buckets on maple trees, peepers, robins, bluebirds, and starlings. All of these signs remind me of how grateful I am to March 5 be living in New England where each season brings with it its own uniqueness and Principal Chat appeal. Welcome, spring! 9:00-9:45 a.m. LBMS Library Before we spring ahead, I would be remiss not to acknowledge the Luther Burbank March 10 accomplishments that have occurred since I last wrote in February.

Please send copy-ready submissions to Judy Ursuliak, [email protected], by March 28, 2016. From Our Nurse, Mrs. Perkins March is National Nutrition Month The theme for 2016 is “Savor the Flavor of Eating.” We receive constant reminder about the importance of fruits and vegetables, watching our sugar and salt intake, limiting portion size, and minimizing empty calories/junk food. But, this year’s focus is somewhat different, and equally important. It reminds us to take time to enjoy food traditions and appreciate the pleasures and social experiences food can add to our lives. How, when, why and where we eat, is as important as what we eat. Food is an important part of our culture. When we gather with family or friends, food is often an essential part of the plan. Whenever possible, take time as a family to gather for a meal. It is a wonderful opportunity to not only share a meal, but to also catch up with each other on the day’s events. Encourage your child/ children to help with meal preparation. They may be more inclined to try new foods if they have helped to prepare them. March also signals the start of the MCAS testing season. It provides us with an opportunity to talk about the importance of getting the day off to a good start with a healthy, nutritious breakfast. Of course, this is important every day of the year because we want to provide our child with all of the tools that they need to do their best each day. “Did you eat breakfast this morning?” and “What did you have?” are two of the questions that I often ask a student who arrives on the doorstep of the health office in the morning. I am often impressed with their answers. Many start off the day with a great breakfast! But, I also know that some students like to spend every last minute that they can sleeping and will often sacrifice breakfast for those last few minutes of sleep. In these cases, there are healthy foods that you can hand to your student as they walk out the door to eat on the way to the bus. How about putting a banana on a stick, coating it with a thin layer of peanut butter or sunflower butter and rolling it in granola. Or, maybe a smoothie is more their style. Put a few ounces of low fat milk or yogurt in a blender with a splash of orange juice and a handful of fresh or frozen blueberries. For other suggestions on how to power up breakfast for your student, go to http:// www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cold-sore/basics/definition/con-20021310 The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website, eatingright.org has great information to help guide families in healthy eating. Check it out! Thank you, Mrs. Perkins VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED! Are you interested in helping out our school? Have some time to help with projects, copying, assembling hands-on materials for our students, or lending an extra hand in a classroom? We need you! Many of our Burbank teachers would benefit in different ways from an extra pair of hands. If you are willing and able to volunteer, please email me directly at [email protected]. Thank you! Student Writing This month we highlight original extended metaphors inspired by Valentine’s day and the powerhouse of the rock band that is U2.

  • Analysis of U2's Concert Performance Location Choice
    International Business Research; Vol. 7, No. 11; 2014 ISSN 1913-9004 E-ISSN 1913-9012 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Analysis of U2‘s Concert Performance Location Choice: Application of an Adapted Gravity Model Joel I. Deichmann1 1 Global Studies Department, Bentley University, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Correspondence: Joel I. Deichmann, Global Studies Department, Bentley University, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Received: September 9, 2014 Accepted: October 10, 2014 Online Published: October 25, 2014 doi:10.5539/ibr.v7n11p190 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ibr.v7n11p190 Abstract The rock band U2, based in Dublin, Ireland, has become one of the most successful touring acts in the history of live music. Treating U2 as a global business enterprise, this paper introduces a gravity approach to understanding performance location selection. A brief descriptive analysis of the band‘s tour geography is followed by the presentation of results from linear regression models that evaluate the choice of countries for live performances. Over 33 years, U2 played more than one thousand six hundred concerts at locations in 40 countries. Having completed several world tours with multiple legs, U2 has developed a clear geographical circuit, performing mainly in Europe, North America, and Oceania. Findings from the models indicate that the band is attracted primarily by market size (presence of large urban areas) and market strength (income). In addition, the band‘s location choices appear to be governed by cultural proximity. Counter to expectations, neither geographical distance nor country risk appear to play a significant role in the selection of tour destinations, especially in the most recent U2360 tour of 2009–2011.

  • U2 in Het Sportpaleis*****
    Recensie: U2 in het Sportpaleis***** Sportpaleis Merksem dinsdag 13 oktober 2015 foto © Kevin Mazur Recensie: 22 500 toeschouwers zakten af naar het Sportpaleis voor het eerste concert van U2. Op 15 oktober 1980 waren dat er in de Melkweg – tijdens hun eerste concert op Europees vasteland – naar verluidt 500. Op 5 dagen na was het 35 jaar geleden dat U2 zijn allereerste concert gaf in ons land. 18 oktober 1980 was hun eerste optreden in Brussel, de Klarick waar ze toen stonden met hun Boy-tour. Volgens de info die we op het net vonden was Bono die dag verkouden en had ie al de rest van de band aangestoken, wat later griep bleek te zijn. Bijna 35 jaar later toonde hij in het Sportpaleis opnieuw wat tekenen van een beginnende verkoudheid maar bewees U2 vooral zijn status als wereldgroep. 220 Belgische frank inkom (inclusief een pintje luidt het zelfs volgens bepaalde bronnen) kostte een kaartje destijds om de band te zien. Bijna 35 jaar later moest je er tussen de 36 en 176 euro voor over hebben om een kaartje te bemachtigen. Wie het exclusiever wou, kon voor een package gaan van 213 tot 468,5 euro (incl. vip-arrangement). Songs of Innocence – Songs Of Experience Songs of Innocence is de eerste plaat uit een tweeluik, tevens het dertiende studioalbum van de groep. Songs of Experience zou naar verluidt nog voor de 2016-tour (Volcano/The Innocence Experience tour) verschijnen. De Britse dichter William Blake bracht in 1789 een dichtbundel Songs of Innocence uit gevolgd door Songs of Experience 5 jaar later.

    ANAIS DO IV CIDIL – CENSURA, DEMOCRACIA E DIREITOS HUMANOS © 2016 BY RDL E O QUE DIZ ESSA CANÇÃO? AND WHAT DOES THIS SONG? FABIANA CRISTINA DA SILVEIRA ALVARENGA1 RESUMO: O presente artigo interpreta canções da banda irlandesa U2, com letras voltadas à fé, amor ao próximo, humanitarismo e desabafos envolvendo questões políticas e religiosas, como Sunday Bloody Sunday que traduz a intolerância religiosa entre protestantes e católicos. Em I Still Haven`t Found Whant I`m looking for influência do gospel americano, questionando ao criador, “onde você está quando eu preciso de você”? Ou em When I look At The World onde Bono, abalado, se refere ao bombardeio de Omagh (carro bomba do IRA). Ou na canção Walk on, dedicada à líder birmanesa, Aung San Suu Kyi, contra totalitarismo. Em Miss Sarajevo, parceria com Pavarotti, em show beneficente para auxiliar a Bósnia, Bono explica sobre temporalidade e circunstâncias da vida, tempo de guerra e paz, esperança e desilusão, doença e saúde, ceticismo e fé. Já sobre a fé, Bono escreveu Miracle Drug, canção inspirada a partir da fé de uma mãe que teve complicações no parto, e seu filho Christopher Nolan, permaneceu duas horas sem oxigênio no cérebro ficando com paralisia cerebral e em consequência paraplégico. Durante dez anos ela não sabia se o seu filho era um ser consciente. Foi quando surgiu um medicamento que permitiu a ciência libertá-lo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: U2; música; letras; direitos humanos; humanitarismo. ABSTRACT: This article interprets songs from the Irish band U2, with lyrics focused on faith, love of neighbor, humanitarianism and outpourings involving political and religious, as Sunday Bloody Sunday which reflects the religious intolerance between Protestants and Catholics.
