This publication is intended for educational and informational purposes only. 2013 Copyright, Pi-Yi Mayo, All Rights Reserved I. Introduction In 1985, Rose Nylund and Dorothy Zbornak responded to a room-for-rent ad on a bulletin board in a local grocery store in Miami, Florida, posted by their future roommate, Blanche Devereaux. The single women were soon joined by Dorothy’s mother, Sophia Petrillo, after the retirement home where she lived, Shady Pines, burned down. For the next ten years, the four women took care of each other as they aged while (mostly) enjoying each other’s company. The roommates cook together, help each other when one get sick or has an emergency, and they form an informal “family” together. While they don’t always get along, they are always there for each other in a time of need. If this story line sounds familiar, it should. It is the premise for the sitcom The Golden Girls. The show reached critical acclaim and each of the four stars received Emmy Awards for their roles. The country fell in love with these women, but it is unlikely that the show’s producers realized just how close to reality their show would become nearly thirty years later.

In the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire was not only a dominant military force, but a diverse and multicultural society. The glory wouldn't last, however, and after centuries of political crises, the Ottoman Empire was finally dismantled after World War I. Osman Gazi is known as the father of the Ottoman dynasty, the first in a long line of military leaders and sultans who came to rule the Ottoman Empire for six centuries. In fact, the word Ottoman in English derives from the Italian pronunciation of Osman's name. He led one of many small Islamic principalities in the region at the time, but Osman wasn't satisfied with a provincial kingdom. He raised an Ottoman Roses Notebook of fierce frontier warriors known as Ghazis and marched against Byzantine strongholds in Asia Minor. According to Ottoman loreOsman had a dream in which all the known world was unified under Ottoman rule, symbolized Ottoman Roses Notebook the canopy of a massive tree rising from his body and covering the world.

  • MAKING MEMORIES at the MOVIES – a Guide to Watching at Home
    MAKING MEMORIES AT THE MOVIES – A Guide to Watching at Home Celebrating Women in Film All films in this program have something in common: Their stars are legendary women in film. Do you recall seeing these films? Let’s spark some memories! A little background information about women in film According to the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, male characters continued to control the big screen in 2018. about 35% of films contained 10 or more female characters in dialogue roles about 82% had 10 or more male characters in speaking roles. ….research is still revealing that women are overwhelmingly valued in film based on their identification as a mother, wife, or lover (Lang, 2015). Women are often portrayed as dependent on other characters, over-emotional, and confined to low-status jobs when compared to enterprising and ambitious male characters. So… let’s celebrate some of our outstanding female actor’s who have endured throughout the years! ____________________________________________________________________________ Judy Garland The Wizard of Oz (1939) is an American musical fantasy film. Widely considered to be one of the greatest films in cinema history, it is the best-known and most commercially successful adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The film stars Judy Garland as Dorothy Galea, alongside Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton. Theme: Dorothy Gale lives with her dog Toto on a Kansas farm belonging to her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.
