Speaker Atkins will face tough issues
'This is a tale of strength, resilience and tenacity'
SACRAMENTO On this day, it was all cheers for San Diego Democrat Toni Atkins, the newly-elected Assembly speaker who overcame her own hardscrabble childhood to become a champion for others.
But once Monday's initial euphoria passes, Atkins conceded much work will need to be done to resolve divisive issues that have long plagued the state: the economy, budget, water and housing the homeless — "my personal passion."
Atkins was elected speaker by a unanimous voice vote of the Assembly, confirming her selection by fellow Democrats six weeks ago. She will be sworn in later this spring.
When that does happen, Atkins will become the first lesbian to lead the house. "That is surreal to me," is how she described her feelings.
Atkins also will stake claim as the first speaker from San Diego and the first leader of either legislative house from the region since Jim Mills headed the state Senate four decades ago.
Having a speaker with direct ties to San Diego is encouraging news to businessman Fred Maas, a Republican who has been a figure in local political and policy circles for some time.
"To have someone there championing our cause in Sacramento is just a huge opportunity — an exciting one for all of us," said Maas, former head of the Centre City Development Corp.
Maas has known Atkins since she was an aide to San Diego Councilwoman Christine Kehoe, who later rose to the state Legislature. Atkins, Maas said, "transcends party and politics (and) puts those things on the back shelf."
Mass was one of a handful of close supporters on hand during the nomination. Atkins' spouse, Jennifer LeSar, was at her side. Well-known San Diegans Ben and Nikki Clay, as well as Rep. Scott Peters, D-San Diego, were also there,
"It's a place I never thought I would be," Atkins said of her ascension.
She almost wasn't. Atkins was locked in a close duel for the job with other Democratic contenders earlier this year before emerging with the endorsement of the caucus.
The nominating speeches on the Assembly floor were a mix of respect and levity.
Lawmakers cited her upbringing in Appalachian coal country, the daughter of a miner and seamstress whose childhood home did not have indoor plumbing or running water.
"It shapes your commitment to making a difference. From time to time we forget that commitment to making a difference, but not Ms. Atkins," said Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra,cq D-Arleta.
Assemblywoman Chris Holden. D-Pasadena, said: "She has a true servant's heart. I suspect her humble beginnings growing up in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia prepared her to appreciate the needs of the less fortunate and give them a voice in the halls of power."
Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman,cq D-Stockton, noted Atkins' determination to be the first in her family to go to college.
"This is a tale of strength, resilience and tenacity," Talamantes Eggman said. "This is an American story. This is the California dream where people come from the depths of poverty to come to a place where everything is possible."

So, if you're anything like me you gave up on the Cowboys in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams. It was 21-0 and the Rams looked like they were the boss! I thought it was going to be another one of those crazy turnover-ridden Cowboy games that frustrates fans and makes us want to drown our sorrows in more chicken wings and beer, but the Cowboys got it together and tied a record for the biggest comeback in team history.

Michael Jackson may be able to avoid traveling overseas to testify in a London court for a $7 million lawsuit thast was recently filed against him.
As previously reported by SOHH the "King of Pop" is being charged by Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa of Bahrain with accepting various cash arrangements to produce an album and book that he never delivered. While not offering any specific details, Jackson's attorney Robert Englehart claims a request to testify via a video link is being considered.
"It would be unwise for him to travel, given what's he's got now," Englehart told the Associated Press "[It's] for the obvious reasons."
Khalifa's lawyer Bankim Thanki is not satisfied with the request.
"It's not the first time a sick note has been presented by Mr. Jackson" Thanki told the AP.
Judge Nigel Sweeney will wait until Thursday (November 20) to decide upon Jackson's travel request after medical experts from both sides give their arguments.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
My name is Mario and this is my first post in this great forum. Sorry for my english if I don't write correctly hehe.
I have a trouble designing my first Tamil script. Specifically with the character ஷ (Ssa). The typography I designing will be for wayfinding, and of course I want to be the most legible as possible. Searching in webs, I found three ways to draw this character, and my question is if one of them is more common, more correct, or more legible. I also could create an alternative character, but I prefer to know the best drawing for Ssa and then choose it as default.
I attach a jpg with my three versions of Ssa.
Thank you very much in advance!!!

- Great value and so fun! Review by KMcD
I used these red construction hats for an elementary school presentation that I had to give regarding the coal industry. These were the perfect conversation piece and a good take home toy for the kids, and they all seemed to enjoy them, minus the static that came up in some kids hair.

- Red hats Review by Gen
We had a construction site theme for the Relay for Life. I had a hard time finding yellow hats that would fit an adult. These were the correct size. The only negative was since they're red, they resemble a fire fighters hat. We also ordered pink ones, but the red ones could be worn by boys or girls.

Hindu Kush is a pure indica strain named after the mountain range stretching 500 miles between Pakistan and Afghanistan where it originated. The harsh climate of its homeland has conditioned this strain to express a thick, protective coat of crystal trichomes cherished by hash makers worldwide. With a subtle sweet and earthy sandalwood aroma, Hindu Kush induces a deep sense of calm that helps bring relief to those suffering pain, nausea, and stress disorders.

Last week, I was offered a spot to join the 2015 Boston Marathon Team for Samaritans and accepted the offer immediately. I'm excited and honored to be given this opportunity and I hope that you will join me in the journey to the finish line over the next few months. Along with my training, I have also pledged to raise $7,500 for Samaritans. So, if we know each other, prepare for a barrage of harassing emails and phone calls to start very soon. If you know me, you may also know that running for Samaritans has a very personal connection to me and my family after my mom lost her battle to mental illness on July 19th, 2005.
I hope that this blog will not only allow you to learn more about me over the next few months leading up to the Marathon, but also provide a space where we can learn more about Samaritans and the services they provide in both grief support services and suicide prevention within the Boston and Greater Boston communities. Most importantly, I hope that this blog will help ignite conversations about suicide and the effort needed from all of us to break the stigma intertwined with mental illness.

Copyright robots take down Hugo awardsSubmitted by dddienst on Fri, 09/14/2012 - 09:30
The broken copyright siystem is my pet peeve so when I saw this article on io9 I knew I needed to share it.
Last night, robots shut down the live broadcast of one of science fiction's most prestigious award ceremonies. No, you're not reading a science fiction story. In the middle of the annual Hugo Awards event at Worldcon, which thousands of people tuned into via video streaming service Ustream, the feed cut off — just as Neil Gaiman was giving an acceptance speech for his Doctor Who script, "The Doctor's Wife." Where Gaiman's face had been were the words, "Worldcon banned due to copyright infringement." What the hell?
Jumping onto Twitter, people who had been watching the livestream began asking what was going on. How could an award ceremony have anything to do with copyright infringement? Bestselling science fiction author Tobias Buckell tweeted:
Oh, FFS. Ustream just shut down live worldcon feed for copyright infringement.

Ukraine Crisis: White House Lists 10 Facts to Decry, 10 Fictious Claims by President Putin
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Johnlee Varghese | March 7, 2014 11:09 PM EST
Taking a stern stand on the Ukraine issue, the White House has announced that the President Barack Obama has signed an executive order on sanctions on Russia, including a ban on visa to Russian officials and individuals, who may have had a role to play in the Crimea crisis.
Russian President Putin and US President Obama/Reuters File
Recently, the White House in a report titled 'President Putin's Fiction: 10 False Claims About Ukraine' denounced the claims by the Russian president Vladimir Putin on the Ukraine crisis as fiction.
Here are the ten lies told by the Russian President Putin, according to the White House.
- 1. Russian forces in Crimea that are acting only to protect Russian military assets are a 'citizens' defense groups. But the fact, according to the US is that the Russian security services are at the heart of the highly organized anti-Ukraine forces in Crimea. While these units wear uniforms without insignia, they drive vehicles with Russian military license plates and freely identify themselves as Russian security forces, when asked by the international media and the Ukrainian military. Moreover, these individuals are armed with weapons not generally available to civilians.
- 2. Russia's action fall within the scope of the 1997 Friendship Treaty between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. But the fact, according to the White House is that Russia's military actions in Ukraine, which have given them operational control of Crimea, are in clear violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
- 3.The opposition failed to implement the 21 February agreement with former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. The 21 February agreement laid out a plan in which the Rada, or Parliament, would pass a bill to return Ukraine to its 2004 Constitution, thus returning the country to a constitutional system centered around its parliament," says the US. Under the terms of the agreement, Yanukovych was to sign the enacting legislation within 24 hours and bring the crisis to a peaceful conclusion. Yanukovych refused to keep his end of the bargain. Instead, he packed up his home and fled, leaving behind evidence of wide-scale corruption.
- 4. Ukraine's government is illegitimate. Yanukovych is still the legitimate leader of Ukraine. On 4 March, President Putin himself acknowledged the reality that Yanukovych has no political future. After Yanukovych fled Ukraine, even his own Party of Regions turned against him, voting to confirm his withdrawal from office and to support the new government. Ukraine's new government was approved by the democratically elected Ukrainian Parliament, with 371 votes - more than an 82% majority. The interim government of Ukraine is a government of the people, which will shepherd the country toward democratic elections on 25 May - elections that will allow all Ukrainians to have a voice in the future of their country, states the White House.
- 5. There is a humanitarian crisis and hundreds of thousands are fleeing Ukraine to Russia and seeking asylum. To date, there is absolutely no evidence of a humanitarian crisis. Nor is there evidence of a flood of asylum-seekers fleeing Ukraine for Russia. International organizations on the ground have investigated by talking with Ukrainian border guards, who also refuted these claims. Independent journalists observing the border have also reported no such flood of refugees, Obama government claimed.
- 6. Ethnic Russians are under threat. But White House notes that it is a fiction and states: Outside of Russian press and Russian state television, there are no credible reports of any ethnic Russians being under threat.
- 7.Russian bases are under threat. But, the truth according to US is that the Russian military facilities remain secure. It is Ukrainian bases in Crimea that are under threat from Russian military action.
- 8.There have been mass attacks on churches and synagogues in southern and eastern Ukraine. It is a false statement, as the US notes: Religious leaders in the country and international religious freedom advocates active in Ukraine have said that there have been no incidents of attacks on the churches. All of Ukraine's church leaders, including representatives of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Moscow Patriarchate, have expressed their support for the new political leadership, calling for national unity and a period of healing. Jewish groups in southern and eastern Ukraine report that they have not seen an increase in anti-Semitic incidents.
- 9. Kyiv is trying to destabilize Crimea. But in reality the White House notes: Russian troops, have moved beyond their bases to seize political objectives and infrastructure in Crimea. The government in Kyiv immediately sent the former Chief of Defense to defuse the situation. Petro Poroshenko, the latest government emissary to pursue dialogue in Crimea, was prevented from entering the Crimean Rada.
- 10. The Rada is under the influence of extremists or terrorists. But the truth according to the White House is that the Rada is the most representative institution in Ukraine. Recent legislation has passed with large majorities, including from representatives of eastern Ukraine.

About: Coral Springs, Florida
It is a planned community and was incorporated to 1963. The land that was bought by Henry Lyons was 20,000 acres of marshy lands. In 1947, after several floods, the State of Florida was forced to create what is now known as the South Florida Water Management District. Canals and levees were able to drain most of the area. Afterwards, it was used as a bean farm and then later a cattle farm.

Modern commercial outdoor lighting systems are being asked to do more than ever before. In addition to fulfilling their primary purpose of casting light onto dark roadways, parking areas, and public spaces, outdoor lighting systems are increasingly evaluated for how well they reduce energy consumption, improve safety for both pedestrians and drivers, and serve as the foundation for a range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Outdoor lighting is an important part of the strategic asset base for cities, municipalities, and large enterprises. Echelon offers a sophisticated, comprehensive, open standards-based approach to outdoor lighting control that makes it easy and affordable for lighting owners to increase the efficiency, safety, and versatility of their municipal and commercial lighting systems.

Barack Obama Labels Mitt Romney a "Bullsh-tter" in Rolling Stoneby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Barack Obama is featured in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, and less than two weeks before the November 6 election, the President opens up to the publication with some choice words for Mitt Romney.
Foremost among them?
"You know, kids have good instincts," Obama says about the young vote. "They look at the other guy and say, 'Well, that's a bullsh***er, I can tell.'"
Oh, it's on! Okay, it's been on for months now. But still. Strong words.
Among other topics Obama touches on in his interview:
Problems with the rich and poor: There are a whole bunch of millionaires who aren't paying any income tax, as well as people at the lower end of the income spectrum who may be taking advantage of the safety net we've put in place. We should hold everybody accountable who's not doing their fair share.
Standing up against your own party: If you can't say no to certain elements of your party, if you don't have sets of principles that you're willing to fight for, even if they're not politically convenient, then you're gonna have a tough time in this office.
Roe vs. Wade in peril: I don't think there's any doubt. Governor Romney has made clear that's his position. His running mate has made this one of the central principles of his public life.
The future of his health care plan: Just like Medicare and Social Security, as time goes on, as people see what it does, as it gets refined and improved, people will say, 'This was the last piece to our basic social compact' - providing people with some core security from the financial burdens of an illness or bad luck.
His first-term achievements: Sometimes folks obsess with gridlock and the ugliness of the process down here in Washington. We passed health care - something that presidents have tried to do for 100 years…We passed the toughest Wall Street reform since the 1930s… We have expanded access to college through the Pell Grant program and by keeping student loans low. The list of things that we've accomplished, even once the Republicans took over, is significant.
What Romney should dress as for Halloween: I don't know about this Halloween. Next Halloween I hope he'll be an ex-presidential candidate.
So, we ask again, THGers: Who are you voting for?
Obama didn't say anything that isn't true.
Come on seriously? Really? You are not that naive and ignorant, are you? Please tell me you are under the age of 18 or have been in prison or under the influence of alcohol and heavy narcotics, because it is a damn shame that someone like you has the right or ability to vote. Please do all of us a large favor and stay home on Nov 6.
Obama is so unprofessional and tries to act like some celebrity! No class whatsoever.
If Barry loses, he's going to try to cut Romeny while Chris Matthews and OMSNBC is going to cry racism. People, Obama is made up of lies. Move on and move him out of Washington.
Obama is nothing less than a racist. People like Eva Longoria who cry racism are nothing less than trash. Chris Matthews along with many others are nothing less than a white Nigg*r. Soon this devil will be out of office and that buzzard Maxine Waters and her prune face will for sure have something to cry about.
Its odd that a liar is calling Mitt Romney a bullsh*ter, don't you think?
and Mitt Romney is truthful? No one even knows where he stands since he flip-flops every other day.
Liddy, you can't blame Mitt Romney for Benghazi or Fast & Furious or a piss-poor economy, can you? Americans have died for Barack's lies. Families of dead Americans can't find the truth and respect that is rightfully deserved. This is someone you trust? If it is, I suggest you read a history book, ignorance and apathy of a country's citizens is usually its downfall, just ask Austria.
yes indeed: PRESIDENT OBAMA IS THE ROCKER HERE, folks!!
He's a rocker for sure! In my town we have a new ice cream- its called BAROCKY ROAD! Half vanilla & have Ass Crack Chocolate. Covered in American nuts. Cost- $98.95 per cone! Give them a $100 and in return you will get the change Obama promised you!
Lol!!! LOVE IT!!
Too funny, but there's so much truth within it, eh????
Yes-There of course will be a 4th quarter surge " Racism Charges" for the Democrats but anyone who is banking on a future for their kids knows Romney has to win. The shithead Celebs don't need money they don't know what it's like to scratch and claw yet their base- STUPID Democratic youths will prop those Celebrites up and when it's all over- ALec Baldwin will got back to cursing his kid or beating his wife while he pulls in millions. Eva "NOT TO BE CONFUSED FOR A DIVA" will go back to drinking champaign will the stupid voters pop the top on a can of Spam! Stupid is like a cancer.
Try TRAITOR.
Obama adhered to our enemies and gave them aid and comfort by lying to the American People and Congress, when he KNEW that the 9/11 attacks at Benghazi and Cairo were by Al-Queda terrorists. But instead, Obama blamed an American citizen, and said the attacks were just spontaneous mob-uprisings angry over his film which insulted their religion-- when in reality none had even SEEN the film before Obama publicized it! Then he CENSORED the film-maker via constructive suppression! We can't simply vote him out, and let him go; or else he'll pardon Biden, resign, and then-PRESIDENT Biden will pardon him in return. No, he must be impeached, removed, tried...and PUNISHED! We MUST make an example of him, and not encourage people that they can get away with murder and treason if they get enough power! NOBODY, but NOBODY, can be above the law!
We just learned of PROOF that Obama lied to the American people on 9/12 about an act of war on 9/11 by Al-queda, instead blaming an American film-maker for a video.
This is treasonous. At this point the only thing he should be calling Mitt Romney, is for clemency when Obama is found guilty of high treason and awaiting execution.
Obama Followers are like my old Christmas lights, have don't work and what does work ain't so bright.
Yeah, but stupidity doesn't seem to keep said followers away from the polls..unfortunately. Good thing they are getting more "scarce" shall we say?
Obama should know something about Bullshit. Him & Biden are all that and then some. He bullshitted most of you morons in 08. Cut the deficit in half? illegal immigration which he could have done without congress. Obama is banking on you people being just as stupid this year. If he's elected expect a Spring recession- no recovery and by the beginning of 2014 it will be clear- you have ruined your life's along with your families life by voting for Obama. This is not about abortion - roe vs. Wade is not moving- in case your misleading mindset doesn't understand this is only about jobs.
If Obama really referred to him as a bull sh-----, he
should NOT be re elected. That's just trash talk
and does not befit the office of the President.
Obama also shouldn't be re-elected if he lied to the American people on 9/12 when he KNEW it was Al-queda on 9/11. And we have proof.
He needs to be impeached, tried and hanged.
"Romney campaign stands by Mourdock". Women.. For Goodness sake.. WAKE UP.. If ever there WAS a sign from God, this would be one of them.. These 'men' who are completely uneducated and ignorant about a woman's body, want to be in charge of the laws that Govern YOUR body. There is no other way to put it. Welcome to the year 1642 where science and medicine take a back seat. Don't even dare mention the earth revolves around the sun. The Governor has said if he wins the Presidency that he would sign legislation if presented, that bans abortion. And you have GOP senators and Congressmen who have now said that women who get raped have no medical worries as they can't get pregnant if they are 'really' raped, and now with Mourdoch, it is 'God's Gift'. Seriously.. Vote like YOUR life, your daughter's life and health depends on it.. It's not playtime anymore, they are playing for keeps and total control.Have no doubt, this is 'the big grab'.
You just got owned by Alisia Amaya.
I am a victim of date rape. In 1999 I had an abortion resulting from the incident. I agree with Mourdock. He wasn't saying that what results from rape is a gift of God. He was saying that human life is. Many people alive today were born from tragedy. Does that make their lives any less important than yours or mine? I think more about the death of the baby that was inside of my body than I do the fear and violation of the rape I suffered. Why? Because I could not control the rape. It was not my choice. But taking life away from a baby was. I chose wrong. I regret abortion. I've tried to justify it but abortion extinguishes life. This isn't about men telling us anything about our bodies; this is about human life. Women, think more about the heart of the matter. Don't take the easy way out. Even if you never talk about it; it comes back into your thoughts every single day for the rest of your life.
Thank you Alisia for sharing your story. I am so sorry that you have undergone these tragedies, but thank you for speaking up. You may make a difference in someone else's life. You are a gift from God also, and he loves you and forgives you.
Romney has expressly stated that there would be exceptions for rape; in fact the original Roe v. Wade case was ABOUT a case of rape. As for "men telling people what to do with their bodies," it's only MEN who have to register for the --WHAT?
Yep, the DRAFT.
You know, where they're FORCED to undergo grueling training to be ordered out onto a field of battle to get the guts blown out "for their country?"
Meanwhile, women don't have to fight these wars they get to vote on. Give me a break. Liberal politicians are just charlatans who corrupt and manipulate idiots by convincing them that everyone else is oppressing them-- when in reality they're a BURDEN on everyone else.
Romnesia changes his positions almost daily on abortion, and everything else. He will say and do anything to get elected. The guy is a wolf in sheeps clothing and if anyone takes a real close look at him they will see this. I agree with John, sounds like alot of you are voting to protect mom and dad's Cayman bank account so you can continue to ski in Aspen and drink Mocca Latte's every morning on your parents dollar.

Language and Intercultural Communication (Lang Intercult Comm )
Language & Intercultural Communication will promote an understanding of the relationship between language and intercultural communication. It welcomes research into intercultural communication, particularly where it explores the importance of linguistic aspects; and research into language, especially the learning of foreign languages, where it explores the importance of intercultural dimensions. It is alert to the implications for education, especially higher education, and for language learning and teaching. It is also receptive to research on the frontiers between languages and cultures, and on the implications of linguistic and intercultural issues for the world of work. The journal will seek to advance a perception of the intercultural dimension in language, within a complex and pluralist view of the world. It will be resistant to reductive and hegemonic interpretations, and will be stimulated by the notion of a 'third space', advanced by Homi Bhahba, to explore new ways of understanding intercultural relationships. Its aspiration to promote an understanding of the relationship between language and intercultural communication is conceived as a contribution to personal development and to international understanding, dialogue and co-operation. The journal will also seek to make an effective contribution to disseminating new ideas and examples of good practice in educating students in language and intercultural communication, so that they may make their fullest contribution to the world and derive the maximum satisfaction from it.

Article: Public service interpreting for Chinese immigrants in Catalonia: a study based on intepreters', coordinators' and users' views[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Public service interpreting (PSI) for the Chinese is a reality in many European states. However, research on the specificities of interpreting for this community is rather scarce. I therefore conducted a study to shed light on this topic, focusing on PSI for the Chinese in Catalonia, a region where this service began only relatively recently. This paper discusses the results of the research. The research was conducted using a mixed method. Qualitative interviews were held with interpreters and mediators who work with Chinese people and with coordinators of PSI and intercultural mediation, while quantitative questionnaires were distributed among Chinese users of public services. The three sets of data were analysed independently, and triangulation was used to validate the results and to compare and contrast the information collected from each sample of informants. This article presents the triangulation and elucidates some specificities and challenges of PSI for the Chinese, namely, Chinese linguistic diversity, mediating between cultures and gaining users' trust. The discussion and conclusions stress the importance of including specific strategies to face these challenges in training and education, while also underlining the critical role of coordinators in the professionalisation of PSI.Language and Intercultural Communication 01/2014;

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a synthesis of a pioneering study that approaches the sociolinguistic and educational reality of the area of Navia-Eo, a region in the western part of Asturias (Spain). This research aims to provide an insight into the language attitudes and the sociolinguistic awareness of students in the final year of primary education. Using a sample of 217 subjects, the paper examines the awareness of the use of the traditional language (Galician-Asturian) as well as the official national language (Spanish). Results indicate a substantial level of use of both languages, as well as particularly positive attitudes to language.Language and Intercultural Communication 05/2013; 13(ISSN: 1470-8477).

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to contribute to the current debate on British Studies from the perspective of eight international students attending a British Studies module in part completion of a foundation/access programme in the UK. Drawing on three sets of in-depth student interviews and 15 classroom observations used to triangulate findings, the analysis reveals that the module presents partial representations of Britishness through discussion of factual information that places little emphasis on the affective dimension of learning. From this, students are seen to construct generalisations about the host culture which the module fails to address despite claims to the development of intercultural competence.Language and Intercultural Communication 08/2012; 12(3):179-195.
Article: Official language bilingualism to the exclusion of multilingualism: immigrant student perspectives on French as a second official language in 'English-dominant' Canada[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study explores the implications of Canada's official bilingual status on young immigrant adults who are presently studying at the undergraduate level at university. More precisely, I examine how these young adults have experienced and judge French as a second official language (FSOL) learning in 'English-dominant' regions of Canada. Through a questionnaire and interviews, the participants reveal that they invest in FSOL with the goal of adding French to their multilingual repertoire that includes English primarily in hopes of future economic gain. Examining the data through the lens of investment, I posit that access to FSOL as an investment and conversion of the investment into economic gain is mitigated by unequal positions of power that highlight Canada's emphasis on official language bilingualism to the practical exclusion of multilingualism. I suggest that means to change unequal practices may lie in the bi-directionality of relations between education and society and propose that rather than having language education in Canada reflect the official discourse, that education be used as a means to influence the discourse and practice thereof to be more inclusive of all languages. Cette étude explore les implications du statut bilingue officiel du Canada sur les jeunes adultes immigrés qui étudient actuellement à l'université avant la licence. Plus précisément, j'examine comment ces jeunes adultes ont éprouvé et jugent l'apprentissage du français comme deuxième langue officielle dans des régions du Canada où l'anglais domine. Par un questionnaire et des entrevues, les participants indiquent qu'ils investissent dans leur apprentissage du français comme deuxième langue officielle avec le but d'ajouter le français à leur répertoire multilingue, qui inclut l'anglais, principalement dans les espoirs du futur gain économique. Examinant les données par l'investissement, je postule que l'accès au français comme investissement et la conversion de cet investissement en gain économique sont atténués par les positions inégales de la puissance qui accentuent l'emphase du Canada sur le bilinguisme de langues officielles à l'exclusion quasi du multilinguisme. Je propose que les moyens de changer des pratiques inégales puissent se situer dans la Bi-directionnalité des relations entre l'éducation et la société et suggère que plutôt qu'en ayant l'éducation de langue au Canada réfléchir le discours officiel, que l'éducation soit employée en tant qu'un moyen d'influencer le discours et la pratique pour mieux inclure toutes les langues.Language and Intercultural Communication 02/2012; 12(1):74-89.

ABSTRACT: What does translation become if we uncouple language from culture and link language to perception and experience of the land? What would happen to translation if the culture concept was not the starting point for theorizing? In order to answer this question I examine the contributions of Eagleton, Keesing, Cronin and, most particularly, of the anthropologist Tim Ingold and his important work The Perception of the Environment. From this I then proceed to examine pertinent extracts of the works of two Celtic authors; Brian Friel's Translations and Margaret Elphinstone's A Sparrow's Flight in order to develop a relationally grounded view of translation. This view privileges both the land and the work of languaging as key aspects of translation, inhabiting positions in the world, rather than constructing and mediating views of the world. I therefore come to see translation as a mode of perception, a sensory even empathic mode, a languaging response to phenomena, its primary relationship, not with culture and genealogy but as positionality – in and with the land and to develop towards a geopoetics of the taskscape of the translator.Language and Intercultural Communication 11/2011; 11(4):364-376.

ABSTRACT: This article proposes to investigate the role played by material goods in the transnational experience. Previous research has shown that the movement of people across the world comes with a corollary of cultural flows which find their expression in multiple ways. This article looks more specifically at the kind of commodities that international students bring from home when living in the UK. Informed by interdisciplinary research, it reports on a quantitative study with some qualitative elements investigating the motivation for bringing specific goods, and the nature of those goods. It also looks at the issue of authenticity of provision for the sample by interrogating the importance of the locating process.Language and Intercultural Communication 11/2011; 11(4):338-350.

ABSTRACT: This paper examines the connection between translation and narratives of history, with particular attention to Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States and its Spanish version, La otra historia de los Estados Unidos. It is argued that translation interacts with history in many ways: translation is fundamental to history and, in addition, the translational activity contributes to communicate historical narratives to other cultures. The paper discusses the linguistic transformation and translational strategies used in the Spanish version of a highly controversial history book to ascertain whether the Spanish version translates the text or rather uses Zinn's book.Language and Intercultural Communication 08/2011; 11(3):232-247.
Article: Intercultural awareness: modelling an understanding of cultures in intercultural communication through English as a lingua franca[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The use of English as a global lingua franca (ELF) raises challenges concerning how we understand the relationship between languages and cultures in intercultural communication. In the dynamic contexts of ELF this relationship needs to be viewed as situated and emergent entailing a new approach to understanding intercultural competence in intercultural communication. This paper offers the concept of intercultural awareness as a model of the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to communicate through English in diverse global contexts. Data will be presented illustrating how different elements of the model can be utilised in understanding intercultural communication through English.Language and Intercultural Communication 08/2011; 11(3):197-214.
Article: Children's perceptions of the impact of participation in an intercultural educational programme[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper examines the self-perceptions of sixteen 11-year-old UK children who took part in intercultural 'Villages' organised by an international children's charity. The analysis of the data shows that only a short-term increase in Intercultural Communicative Competence was reported by the children immediately after the Village. The increase was neither statistically significant, nor evident nine months after the Village. However, the analysis of the children's self-report shows that most of the children were positive about the experience. Establishing, expanding and maintaining friendship constituted the primary aim as well as outcome of their intercultural learning. These research findings are discussed in the broader contexts of the ideology of global citizenship and the global spaces created through intercultural exchanges.Language and Intercultural Communication 05/2011; 11(2):142-160.

ABSTRACT: Anti-racism has not played a prominent role in recent major European Union Lifelong Learning strategies. Nevertheless, its importance in Europe with increasing levels of migration has kept the concept, in the form of intercultural competence and intercultural dialogue, alive within European Education and Culture policy. This article traces the use of the terminology of culture within European policy and practice, in particular focusing on intercultural learning in European Youth work. It explores the effectiveness of the use of culture in addressing discrimination at an individual and structural level, using empirical examples. The article concludes that practice that focuses almost entirely on interpersonal skills at the individual level has limited influence in creating structural change. The article ends with proposals for anti-discrimination policy and practice.Language and Intercultural Communication 05/2011; 11(2):113-125.

ABSTRACT: The social space this paper is concerned with is a particular school: it is local in that it ostensibly serves a local community in West London; however, it is global in that the student body is formed from families with connections all over the world. During an intensive period of 3 weeks, I observed a group of 12-year-olds in three classes: Maths, Humanities and English, two of which, Maths and English are exemplified here. All the children had arrived in the UK within the last 2 years. Through classroom observation and interviews with selected children and teachers, I document particular tensions, resistances and achievements that are part of the young people's growing sense of membership of the school and their wider role as new citizens of the UK.Language and Intercultural Communication 05/2011; 11(2):97-112.
Article: Cultivating cosmopolitan, intercultural citizenship through critical reflection and international, experiential learning[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper explores the notion of cosmopolitan, intercultural citizenship in relation to intercultural education and study abroad. As part of a larger investigation of the second language sojourn, the individual developmental trajectories of more than 100 Chinese university students were examined to better understand their language and intercultural learning and identity expansion. This paper presents an illustrative case study of a young woman who took significant steps toward a more sophisticated, cosmopolitan self through deep reflection and intercultural interaction in localized, global spaces. Critical cultural awareness and experiential learning (both at home and abroad) were key elements in her journey toward intercultural, global citizenship, intercultural communicative competence, and a broader, more balanced, sense of self.Language and Intercultural Communication 05/2011; 11(2):80-96.
Article: Americans create hybrid spaces in Costa Rica: a framework for exploring cultural and linguistic integration[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study explores the ways in which English-speaking immigrants negotiate new linguistic and cultural landscapes. I examine immigration and intercultural communication in a more complex and nuanced manner by researching the ways in which expatriates or 'high-end' immigrants relocate and interact with host cultures. I conducted 11 months of ethnographic fieldwork and 40 in-depth interviews in Costa Rica to explore this phenomenon. I employ critical discourse analysis to analyze the data in the theoretical framework of hybridity as the participants create interesting linguistic and cultural spaces in Costa Rica. In these moments of contingency and conflict we are forced to renegotiate the concept of immigration and construction of immigrant. This study illustrates both practical and theoretical intercultural implications as relatively affluent English-speaking migrants have begun to move outside their homelands. This movement of people creates a need for scholars to rethink definitions of immigrants as non-traditional immigrants relocate to new cultural and linguistic terrains.Language and Intercultural Communication 02/2011; 11(1):59-74.
Article: 'Is it okay to eat a dog in Korea…like China?' Assumptions of national food-eating practices in intercultural interaction[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is a small body of research which shows how intercultural communication is constituted in and through talk-in-interaction, and can be made relevant or irrelevant by interactants on a moment-by-moment basis. Our paper builds on this literature by investigating how cultural assumptions of national food-eating practices are deployed, contested and co-constructed in an online, voice-based chat room. Using conversation analysis, findings show how assumptions about cultural practices sequentially unfold in a setting where the interactants are strangers. Additionally, we show how assumptions about cultural practices can be used for rhetorical purposes, and can be treated as simple and complex in a single exchange.Language and Intercultural Communication 02/2011; 11(1):41-58.
Article: Voices from the unvoiced: a comparative study of hidden values and attitudes in opinion-giving[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper explores difficulties students may experience in giving opinions in class, drawing on data gleaned from the administration of questionnaires and interviews to Japanese and British students. The results show that the students from both groups regard highly of giving and exchanging opinions in class; however, there is a marked difference in their confidence in doing so, more Japanese students stating that they have difficulties even in their mother tongue situations than the British. The paper examines the background to these difficulties, drawing from detailed studies of the students' own accounts, comparing and contrasting them.Language and Intercultural Communication 02/2011; 11(1):6-25.
