Recent Questions
I'm interested in your college but I had a few questions. I moved to Texas with my boyfriend a year ago, I do not have a job, I have been a homemaker and he has been the one to provide for us. I was going to school before we moved here and I would like to continue my education now, since we have lived here for a year. I was wondering if I were to enroll for your college and apply for FAFSA, would FAFSA cover all my tuition and fees? If not, how can I go about applying for scholarships and/or loans to help pay for college? I didn't know if financial aid would be different in Texas, we have never moved out of state before so I'm not sure exactly how my financial aid would differ. Thank you in advance for answering my questions.
Thank you for your interest in College of the Mainland. The amount of financial aid you may receive through the FAFSA is based on several factors including, but not limited to, your overall financial aid eligibility as determined by the FAFSA (This looks at your income, the number of household members in college and your household income). In addition to your FAFSA results, other factors that impact your financial aid eligibility include your residency status and the number of hours you register to take.
College of the Mainland also participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan program and your eligibility is determined by your FAFSA results, the program you major in and the number of hours you have attempted towards completing that program. COM students must complete the FAFSA and submit a "Loan Request Form" to apply for loans.
For information about scholarships, contact College of the Mainland Foundation (409-933-8508) and speak with Ms. Tammy Stafford.
We are very excited at the prospect of having you enroll here! If I have not answered all of your questions, please contact me and I will be happy to address any other questions you have about COM and/or the financial aid process.

I am looking at buying a apple laptop to use for school would the software be comparable to use with COM's systems or should I look for another brand?
An apple will work fine. I would recommend purchasing Parallels software from our software store (http://ducks.onthehub.com). This software will allow you to run all Windows based software ensuring all software will work on the Apple computer.

Filed under: Mr. Dool Approves | Tags: best of 2010, dare to dream, i didn't mention beliebers because i'm scared of them, justin timberlake, lady gaga, nicki minaj, oprah, stop or my mom will shoot
1.) STOP giving your fans nicknames.
Male celebrities, you're off the hook, because this is mostly a lady problem. Or, more appropriately, a Lady problem, because like most annoying things in 2010, it can be traced back to Gaga. I'm not actually sure when this first occurred, but somewhere along the line, Lady Gaga began to identify her fans as her "Little Monsters." Presumably, this was because "teenagers who can relate to my strange antics because they, too, feel like outsiders (aka every teenager ever)" really strained the 140 character limit of her Twitter feed. This was then followed by Nicki Minaj calling everyone "Barbies" and Rihanna mobilizing the "Rihanna Navy" to join in the rally cry to buy her album. And now comes word that Katy Perry, that lovely lady, has taken to calling her fans "Katy Cats." I find this whole practice quite condescending and infantilizing. Also, stupid. For the love of God, let's end this before Ke$ha gets involved ("Homele$$ Hottiez?").
2.) STOP calling anything you do a "labor of love."
The Fighter was a labor of love for Mark Walhberg. Basically everyone involved in the making of Blue Valentine called it a labor of love. Natalie Portman said Black Swan was a labor of love and pain (pain!). Just so you know, "labor of love" is not interchangeable with "vanity project," "thing you feel like doing," "shameless plea for Academy Award recognition" or "movie."
3.) Statement glasses.
4.) STOP doing things other than what we made you famous for doing.
The worst thing about The Social Network wasn't Justin Timberlake's performance; the worst thing was seeing Justin Timberlake on the silver screen and remembering how good FutureSex/LoveSounds was. It was so good, that when people saw it on my iPod, I didn't even have to pretend that my (nonexistent) sister downloaded it to my computer while I was sleeping. JT, do you understand how bad it is without your dulcet tones gracing the airwaves? We have to deal with Justin Bieber and Usher "Grandpa" Raymond all over the radio now. will.i.am is here and he's sort of like Timbaland's stuttering cousin who lives in his mom's basement and always brings his weird, quiet ethnic friends around to family parties. Kim Kardashian and half the cast of Gossip Girl are releasing albums. There are people with number one songs named Iyaz and Jason DeRulo and Taio Cruz and I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL THEM APART. How can you sleep at night?
Real talk, Timberlake: you aren't going to win any Oscars, because you're not really that good of an actor. But you know what you can win? America's heart back, by recording another album and giving us a chance to feel joy, to feel like dancing, to proudly feel aroused by a song sung by a man. Pleeeeeaaaaaasssseeeee???
(Update: STOP TEASING US.)
Also, Amy Winehouse stop designing clothing, Tommy Lee stop writing letters to Sea World and Sean Penn stop talking about politics.
5.) STOP crying whenever Barbara Walters talks to you.
The woman is like 80 and the only way her questions could be any more softball would be if they were named Pat, wore flannel and drove a Subaru to the pre-interview. Get. It. Together. Woman.
Filed under: Mr. Dool Approves | Tags: best of 2010, don draper, mad men, peggy olson, television
Plenty of ink has already been spilled about how Mad Men is a great show that seems to only get better, so I'll keep it brief. In a strong season that contained a lot of big, surprising events — Don got engaged, Joan got knocked up, the mom from the Karate Kid died at her desk, Sally Draper did things I never want to see a child actor do again while her friend slept next to her — it was an episode that didn't contain any shockers that emerged as the clear standout. Set over the course of one long night at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce and a few boozy late-night establishments, Season Four's "The Suitcase" tackled what has always been Mad Men's most interesting and dynamic relationship — that between Don and Peggy — head on, resulting in one of the year's most riveting, well-acted and -scripted hours of television. When all is said and done, it wouldn't surprise me if this ends up as a highlight of the series as whole, too. Any episode in which a character threatening to defecate on another's desk chair doesn't emerge as the most memorable moment is certainly a triumph of serialized storytelling. Read Time's review for some more insight, and Best Week Ever's for some mildly disturbing gif's and screengrabs.

when the levee breaks- led zeppelin

when the levee breaks- led zeppelin
always gets me pumped up
Lonesome Crowded West, Long drive, and Moon and Antarctica. Thyt seem to have that raw energy that gets me pumped.
Death metal, and only death metal...
anyone else on here have a thing for country music?
yes,but not for surfing.more like Eat A Peach,Mountain Jam,One Way Out.surf to those two tunes when I'm in Hatteras.
In the summer, when it's small, reggae. When it's big, or in the winter, (I know I'm showing my age here) Jane's Addiction's Coming Down the Mountain, and a lot of Smashing Pumpkins gets me amped, but any heavy, fast music will do.
When I'm shaping, reggae or jazz. When I'm glassing, Hendrix makes the resin swirls sweeet.
I do but it depends on the conditions. On a small mellow day maybe someting from Matt and Kim or Passion Pit but on a heavy day it can be Pantera or something along those lines
For 20 plus years, this song has remained my favorite all-time pre-surf psyche up anthem. It's called "Try It" by the 80's90's Boston metal-punk geniuses The Bags. When I'm debating in my head whether to attempt a dicey drop, it makes me go for it.
I try and listen to something that will get me amped up just before I paddle out, but half the time I will get some random weird song stuck in my head, and like someone else posted, I'll end up singing or humming the damn thing to myself the whole session.
Sometimes if it's a particularly bad song, and I'm amongst friends, I'll sing it real loud so I can get it stuck in their heads also.
This song always gets me pumped up for a surf:

Regulatory Reform
Following two years of technical assistance to a country in Africa, the Central Bank of the country adopted new regulations enhancing the AML/CFT regulatory framework for the banking, wire transfer and money changers sectors. The regulations were developed with technical assistance by FPDFI. The regulations extended the AML/CFT effort to sectors not previously covered and enhanced the content of the recordkeeping and customer due diligence measures in all the covered sectors. The regulations also addressed money laundering and terrorism financing risks that were not previously addressed including the risks posed by politically exposed persons, correspondent accounts, and high risk jurisdictions. The adopted regulations address many of the deficiencies identified by a Bank led AML/CFT assessment of the country.
Strengthening Capacity
Following up on a 2005 AML/CFT Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) analysis of a country in Africa, the Group looked into ways to help the country implement the report recommendations and strengthen its AML/CFT legal and operational system. In cooperation with the Africa region national AML/CFT stakeholders, the Group prepared a comprehensive, result-oriented and sequenced technical assistance program. This program was provided by the Group and financed by the Bank's Institutional Development Fund (IDF). The country has been building stronger AML/CFT regimes, which will incidentally foster good-governance and transparency, reinforce institutional capacities, and advance financial sector reform and the transparency of financial flows.
AML Law
This Middle East and North Africa country passed the Law to Combat Money Laundering after more than 3 years of a stalemate. This success is the culmination of the Group's efforts in assisting the authorities, through its Central Bank, to bring the AML/CFT legal and regulatory framework into compliance with international standards. The Bank provided extensive legislative drafting assistance to the country. In delivering this assistance the Bank adopted a multi-agency approach and encouraged the Central Bank to use its leadership to bring together representatives of nine key agencies in a drafting workshop organized by the Bank. It was through this intensive interagency discussion that the buy-in of the relevant agencies was achieved and a more comprehensive draft was developed and placed before Parliament.
Enhanced Cooperation
The Bank provided technical assistance to a country in Africa to enhance domestic and international cooperation in AML/CFT. The program was to bring all stakeholders and share the same understanding of AML/CFT. This was the first event where all relevant stakeholders gathered together to discuss the country's AML/CFT policy and coordination. During the program, the authorities developed action plans to enhance the domestic and international cooperation and identified strategic priorities to develop its AML/CFT regime.
AML/CFT Framework for the Securities SectorThis project aims to help client countries best tailor their AML/CFT policies in the securities industry, and identify the AML/CFT risks and vulnerabilities it faces. The project is developed in coordination with key players in the securities industry. It will include research work on the identification of best practices, and the preparation of a "flagship" training program customized to the specific needs of supervisors/regulators and private sector representatives. These products will be rolled out in early 2009.
Governance in Financial Intelligence UnitsThis is a study on the governance structure, management and practice of countries' Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), the agency at the heart of any country's AML/CFT regime. International standards require that FIUs have "sufficient operational independence and autonomy." How this requirement is implemented in practice has so far received little attention.
In order to gain more insight into this question, the World Bank worked with the Egmont Group, a world-wide organization of FIUs, and drafted a questionnaire addressing aspects of governance, such as appointments and terms of directors and staff, reporting and oversight over FIU activities, determination and use of budgets, and the conduct of daily operations.
In 2007, the questionnaire was sent to a sample of 15 FIUs of different types and sizes and located in different regions. Based on 13 responses received an interim report was prepared and adopted by the Egmont Group in October 2007. The WB and the Egmont Group also decided to extend this survey to cover all the Egmont Group members.
In January 2008, an amended questionnaire was sent to all 64 Egmont Group members. The data was analyzed and a new interim report was prepared and presented to the Group in May 2008. A final report shall include some additional responses and shall be presented to the Egmont Group in October 2008.

Jafari, Fariba and Khalid, Kaida and Wan Yusoff , Wan Mohamad Daud and Hassan, Jumiah (2010) The analysis and design of multi-layer microstrip moisture sensor for rice grain. Biosystems Engineering, 106 (3). pp. 324-331. ISSN 1537-5110
Full text not available from this repository.
The analysis and optimal design of a multi-layered microstrip sensor for measuring moisture content of ricegrain are described. The microstrip sensing structure consists of three layers: substrate, protective layer and semi-infinite grain medium. The effective dielectric constant, characteristic impedance and attenuation or insertion loss of this structure are calculated at various moisture contents with respect to the thickness of the protective layer thickness. The sensor is operated at 9 GHz and is suitable for a broad range of moisture contents (MC) ranging from 10% to 30% (wet basis). This study investigated the optimal thickness of the protective layer for suitable sensitivity, the thickness of grain medium which can be consider as semi-infinite thickness, the effect of kernel density and loading method. The experimental results for the attenuation of the signal at various moisture contents agree reasonably with the theoretical prediction however for better accuracy, the compactness of grain medium should be observed. The effect of air inside the medium and compactness of the material under the test has been studied and the errors of ±0.16 dB have been calculated for the measured reflected attenuation of the sensor. The overall accuracy of the sensor is about ±1.5% moisture content as compared to oven drying method.

Why it Matters: This is Michigan's real per capita personal income, adjusted for inflation. In general, per capita income in Michigan has not kept up with inflation over the past few years. Per capita personal income includes wages and salaries, transfer payments, dividends, interest and rental income. As income rises, individuals are better able to provide for their families, buy homes and improve their quality of life.

New Monolith Soft Wii U Gameplay Video
From the Nintendo Wii U Direct presentation we have some new gameplay for a game from Monolith Soft.
oooooooooOOOH! im already in love.
This is not new, there is currently actual battle gameplay that was released in the direct yesterday. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNOVjqlwBRs
Definitely looks like it has potential.. However I thought the battling in XBlade was redundant and boring (honestly probably have more fun with XGears fights) which is what this game appears to be following after. Am really hoping that it has to do more with the perfect works story that I love so much as opposed to all the "Monado" crap and Living on Giant monsters..WTF.
How am I just now seeing this...?! As a fan of Xeno(everything), I'm all but positive I'll buy this without looking back. This looks heavily inspired by Xenoblade...maybe a sequel? If it's original, that's perfectly fine too, I'm all for it. Regardless, finally a reason for me to get a Wii-U.
this is the first thing I've seen that might actually sell me a WiiU.
I can't wait to play this game :-)
now this maybe a real Xenogear-ish game!
This game looks very promising.
Will this be the first Xeno (almost 100% certain this will be one) game without Mitsuda? And that logo is very reminiscent of Xenogears...
good new for the Wii U owners
This is what I've been waiting for. Just put my PS3 on craigslist so I can buy this machine.
Reminds me of Xenogears, unlike the others (-saga/-blade)
This game looks like it needs a lot more attention
Look at Nintendo doing shit (in the good way) like no other. I really feel like i have a SNES.
Xenoblade is the best game to come out on the Wii. This game is what will make me buy a Wii U.
@LiquidMettle Wow, totally disagree about the battle mechanics in XC. They were smart and you actually had to use your brain and think of strategies and tactics. Great stuff. Do agree that this game looks to have a very similar system, which is good news to me, but guess bad news to you.

Inside Givenchy, the staff had sustained a rocky designer roll call, with John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, and Julien Macdonald all swinging in and swiftly out. "They were tired and a little bit jaded," he remembers. "There had already been so many changes."
Then in walked a young couture virgin without a clue as to atelier protocol. "For the first few months, I was completely lost. I was freaking out," he says excitedly. "They were all calling me 'monsieur,' and I was like, Stop calling me that!"
Further complicating things for Tisci was Monsieur Givenchy's design legacy. "It's tricky because Hubert's style was French elegance," observes Steele. "It's relatively vague and such a 1950s concept."
"Even I was not clear on what Givenchy was," the designer allows. For his first collection, Tisci did darkly romantic deconstructed gowns in nude and black without a big bow in sight. The results were solid enough to warm up Givenchy's cooled-off couture clientele and earn him the respect of the atelier's petites mains, many of whom started calling him by his ?rst name. "Inside the company, everyone was offering me flowers," he recalls of that early period. "But outside, there were people with guns pointed at me."
The snipers were members of the fashion press who chose to lambaste every move Tisci made, from the unscripted, atmospheric live tableaux he favored ("It's pretentious!" they sniffed incessantly) to the use of six black models, including Naomi Campbell and Liya Kebede, to open a show. ("Trying too hard!" "It's forced!" they complained.)
"They didn't get it," he now acknowledges of his prescient presentations. "You know, at the beginning there was just a lot of misunderstanding with the outside world. [The presentations were] the opposite of pretentious! I was showing respect for women. I didn't want to see them walking around like robots."
Tisci didn't waste time sulking, however. "I've been through so much shit in my life, you think I go home and cry for a review? No way. I don't cry for fashion."
Instead, he yielded to the establishment and shelved creative presentations. "I have to make other people believe in the clothes," he explains. "So I said, 'This is what you want? Fine.' But don't worry; one day they'll be back."
The criticism slowly turned to praise, culminating in the stellar response to his Fall '08 ready-to-wear collection, an edgy blend of romantic, frilled femininity and aggressive urban modernity.
Tisci's is an impressive feat, not just because he has Monsieur Givenchy's blessing ("He told me, 'Be yourself,' and he sends me birthday cards") or because his makeover is the only one to successfully stick to Givenchy's sensitive skin since its founder's retirement in 1995. It's also one of the few to work in an industry that is becoming increasingly intolerant of anything short of instant miracles.
"Fall is such a great collection, I can't take it!" gushes Chicago store owner Ikram Goldman. "The proportions, fabrics, and quality are perfect. And the blouses are amazing; they are so couturelike."
Tisci himself doesn't think it was his strongest collection (he prefers last fall's studded marine show) but chalks up the improved response to a communal eye adjustment. "Sometimes you need to see a movie three times before you understand it," he says with a shrug. "I think it's the exact same style it always was, but now everyone is used to it."
"That's what happened to me too," says Boscono. "People didn't understand my beauty. Now they do. He needed to create his own world, and now people have fallen in love with it."

Giving Real Life Information in Second Life
One reader asked about how best to handle a situation when someone in Second Life persists on asking you about Real Life, and you do not wish to provide that information for whatever reason. I am sure this has come up for many of us (certainly on several occasions for me). So I thought this is a good topic for discussion.
On this issue, I think there are probably 2 groups of people in SL:
The first group is in SL to meet someone for RL friendship/dating (or at least open to the idea of doing so). There's nothing wrong with that. SL is made for social interactions, so it functions well as a meeting place/dating service.
The second group is in SL to get away from RL. They are in SL to escape some RL issue, to enjoy some peace, or to not be physically challenged. There ARE people in SL that just want to stay in SL (I am among this group!). And this may come as a surprise to people in the first group.
I am in SL to learn, build, write, and have fun. I am not in SL to meet someone for RL. If I had wanted to meet guys, I would sit in the mall having coffee by myself (or wear a mini-skirt to Home Depot :P). At least I can avoid most of the Hey Sexy routines. Im not in SL to have a RL relationship. People like me make that quite clear in our Profiles and conversations. Trust me, we're not lying.
It seems that most (not all) men are in the first group of trying to meet someone in RL. At least it feels that way :P I am sure some of the guys are frustrated when women do not readily send over their pix with phone number, birthday, and home address attached.
One guy got quite annoyed with me after he told me all kinds of information about himself and sent me several photos. I had neither asked for the information nor the photos. But he wanted me to do the same in return, arguing that its only fair. I did not provide the information/photos. And I left it up to him to continue talking with me or to stop; but I was not going to provide the information/photos. (He eventually stopped talking to me.)
I dont think it was a fairness issue in this case. I did not ask for the information/photos. Someone has no rights to compel me to provide the information/photos just because they chose to give me unsolicited information/photos. I had already told him more about me than I intended to (*sigh* dont do SL under the influence...). I finally drew the line and stuck to it.
But I totally understand that strong feelings can develop in SL. I have several friends in deep, loving relationships in SL. As you become more comfortable with someone, you may be inclined to share more RL information. Just like the rest of the Internet, you should be careful when providing personal information. Without body language and the person's friends/associates, it is difficult to really know a person based on SL interaction alone.
Just remember that almost all SL introduction classes warn the students against giving out personal information. There ARE predators out there who are good at manipulating you. These predators exist in Real Life, so SL would be that much easier for them to exploit.
We are all adults, and I think you know how to look for those red flags. Take your time and really get to know a person. Dont let someone rush or manipulate you into doing something before you are ready, particularly when giving out Real Life information. Remember, one of the great appeals about SL (at least for me) is safety. I am very safe in SL as an avatar. But when you start giving out Real Life information, you are giving up that safety to a person you can never truly know. It is a risk. So take it slow. Anyone worth the risk would be willing to wait and get to know you first.
Please share your thoughts on this topic (by comments)! This is a topic that affects us all.

Two of the most popular young chav lads are back to make an appearance in this shoot from the UK Scally Lads site. Gorgeous boys Jordan and Kristian know each other pretty well from working together in one of the bars in Manchester. I don't know if they ever got it on before this visit to the studio together, but you can tell right from the start that both boys are horny for the others tasty dick as they start groping and kissing.
Jordan was the first to start heading down south, playing as he went, hungry for the taste of wet dick on his tongue. He licked and sucked on Kristian's nipples as he moved over his chest, then both were eager to get that cock and got themselves into a really horny 69 mutual dick swallowing session that had my dick dribbling!
Check it out as these scally boys get to work on those tight butts too, licking and slurping, preparing each other for some deep anal action. That's the thing about having two versatile chavs in the same session, the flip-flop fucking can be really intense!
And that's exactly what we get with these boys as Jordan slides his delicious hard dick into Kristian. Then Jordan takes it too as the boys move around the room, ending up riding Kristian's shaft as he sits back in the chair. Jordan's the first to let the semen fly as he unloads with Kristian's solid meat deep in his chute, then it's his slim buddy's turn as the scally boy lays back on the bed and squirts his cream over himself!

|After three years of testing and development, Buckley Fence, LLC, was founded and the company began producing the patented Alumashield Fence system in 2007. It's a beautifully constructed horse fencing system in a post and rail pipe style and is made from aluminum alloy tubing that is internally reinforced with high strength steel tubing. These steel cores are sealed at each end to further add to the strength of the fencing system.
This type of horse fence evolved from the aluminum parts forming process created by Buckley Fence's founder and majority owner, Jim Buckley, and was previously awarded both U.S. and international patents under the Chipless Metals, LLC company name. The new and improved aluminum connectors eliminated corrosion and increased durability and strength over traditional welded pipe horse fencing systems.
Jim also designed the Steel Board Fence which is more in keeping with the look of the traditional horse fence. Buckley Fence added this fencing system a year after developing the Alumashield Fence, in 2008. The Steel Board Fence is a galvanized steel post and rail board fencing system. It's the first fence of its kind and its powder coating is of architectural grade powder. The rails are reinforced with steel bars, which improve strength and aid in horse safety and security.
Jim Buckley Founder & CEO
"The Steel Board Fence is a galvanized steel post and rail board fencing system."
Buckley Fence produces horse fencing systems which are environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable, in addition to being safe, durable, and cost-effective, making them of the best possible quality. They are also easily put together. This also means they can easily be disassembled for repairs, if need be, or for recycling when no longer needed. These fences will last for several decades with little to no maintenance. Buckley Fence continues to develop solutions that complement and enhance their fencing systems.

Title: Dinky!

I have seen this type of centerpiece for sale in brick and mortar party stores and thought this would be like those. In reality, it is like a baby version of those - set up, it's probably not more than ten inches tall and five or six across. I was expecting something at least 18" tall! I was sitting at one end of the banquet table and could barely see it! In addition, it doesn't stay on the base on its own - I had to tape it. I'm dismayed.

Slash fandom is often characterized as a queer online space that foregrounds women's pleasure and functions as resistance to hegemonic ideas about gender and sexuality. Absent from this conceptualization is the presumption of whiteness that pervades fan imaginings. I undertake a critical discourse analysis of slash fanfiction to reveal the homonationalist and white supremacist ideologies that underpin much creative fan work. Utilizing the framework of affect theory, I then perform an intertextual analysis of comments from white fans that reveal the possessive investment in whiteness that is a powerful undercurrent in fan communities. Finally, I examine critiques from fans of colour to theorize anger and creativity as strategies of resistance that have the potential to open up fan spaces so they may better realize their radical emancipatory potential. Description: Thesis (Master, Gender Studies) -- Queen's University, 2014-11-05 15:48:44.304 2014-11-07T05:00:00Z Mobile Identities: Linking Colonial Histories of Displacement with Portable Affective Objects and Memories Singh, AARZOO http://hdl.handle.net/1974/12471 2014-09-19T05:12:17Z 2014-09-18T04:00:00Z Title: Mobile Identities: Linking Colonial Histories of Displacement with Portable Affective Objects and Memories Authors: Singh, AARZOO Abstract: This project considers portable affective objects as sites that hold and emit narratives of colonial displacement, generational ties and ruptures, and loss of identity for South Asian diasporas. I propose that the affective objects provide memories, geographies, and emotion. I look to previous scholarship on affect and trauma that suggests that the question of survival can be understood through what is unsaid. My project will add to this discussion by showing how objects and artefacts—material things—can be linked to trauma and displacement; it is specifically the emotions surrounding the affective object—the meanings attached to things—that will uncover some of the unspoken and unsaid complexities of displacement. The very characteristic of portability of objects creates an ability to carry a history, narrative and even home. This project is an analysis of three separate objects; these objects chronicle and are read alongside the narratives of my own familial history with colonial displacement. Through tracing personal narratives that attach themselves to these objects, I uncover that what is lost in upheaval and violence can be found, once again, in the memories the objects hold. Description: Thesis (Master, Gender Studies) -- Queen's University, 2014-09-16 23:39:29.494 2014-09-18T04:00:00Z Women's Citizenship: Between Bloodlines and Patriarchal Conditioning in Postcolonial Algeria Djerbal, YASMINE http://hdl.handle.net/1974/8601 2014-02-05T06:11:17Z 2014-01-30T05:00:00Z Title: Women's Citizenship: Between Bloodlines and Patriarchal Conditioning in Postcolonial Algeria Authors: Djerbal, YASMINE Abstract: My thesis maps a genealogy of patriarchal structures that underpin Algerian history, culture, and institutions between the war of independence and the 1991-2001 civil war. More specifically, I contextualize the ways in which patriarchal lineages and origin stories—and thus the symbolic and structural promises of the family—underpin political struggle. In mapping these symbolic lineages found at work in the promise of independence, and the ways in which they underpin political struggle, I demonstrate how the war of independence reified and redefined familial and patriarchal kinships within political and social structures. I suggest that historical and social conditionings found at work at these different historical moments have legitimated, to a certain extent, the domination over women and a normalization of violence against them. My thesis examines social and political discourses at four central moments in Algerian history. Firstly, in the constructions of the Algerian nation-state post independence in 1962; secondly, in the Islamic Renaissance of the 1980s and the creation of the Family Code; and in a third moment, I draw connections between the Family Code, violent political clashes of 1990s and the civil war that ensued. Finally, I analyze laws and discourses created after the civil war and the resistance movements that have continuously contested power and oppression throughout these different periods.

The research project begins by exploring the ways in which the gendered colonial law produces black sexualities as excessive and in need of discipline while also noticing how Caribbean peoples negotiate and subvert these legalities. The work then turns to dancehall and its enmeshment with landscape (which reflects theatre-in-the round and African spiritual ceremonies), psycho scape (which retains African uses of marronage and pageantry as personhood), and musicscape (which deploys homophobia to demand heterosexuality), in order to tease out the complexities of Caribbean sexualities and queer practices. I couple these legal narratives and geographies with interviews and ethnographic data and draw attention to the ways in which queer men inhabit the dancehall. I argue that queer men participate in a dancehall culture—one that is perceived as heterosexual and homophobic—undetected because of the over-arching (cultural and aesthetic) queerness of the space coupled with the de facto heterosexuality afforded all who 'brave' dancehall's homophobia. Queer dancehall participants report that inhabiting this space involves the tactical deployment of (often non-sexual) heterosexual signifiers as well as queering the dancehall aesthetic by moving from margin to centre. In so doing, I argue, queer dancehall queers transition from unvisible (never seen but always invoked) to invisible (blending into the queered space) while also moving across and through, as well as calling into question, North American gay culture, queer liberalism, and identity politics.

Friday, February 28 16:49:43
Stocks on Wall Street zoomed to a record high today, shrugging off a revised downward estimate to U.S. growth, while the euro hit its highest level this year after inflation in Europe stabilised, cooling expectations of looser monetary policy.
The benchmark Standard and Poor's 500 stock index surged to an intraday record after a round of mostly positive economic data. A discouraging read on U.S. gross domestic product, however, cast some doubt on whether higher equity valuations are justified.
GDP expanded at a 2.4 percent annual rate, down sharply from the 3.2 percent pace reported in January and the 4.1 percent logged in the third quarter, the Commerce Department said.
But the pace of business activity in the U.S. Midwest rose slightly in February, beating expectations and snapping a three-month run of slower growth, the business barometer from the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago showed.
Contracts to buy previously owned U.S. homes edged up in January after a weather-related hit at the end of 2013, and U.S. consumer sentiment rose marginally in February even as concerns about extreme weather persisted, a survey showed.
"The million-dollar question is how much of the slowdown is because of the weather, and how much is because of the economy getting weaker?" said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management in Philadelphia, with $125 billion in assets under management.
"The market continues to believe that weather is behind most of it, and we generally agree with that, but we will need to see a pick-up" in growth, he added.
MSCI's all-country world equity index rose 0.48 percent, while stocks in Europe rebounded on the relatively stronger U.S. data.
European shares initially dipped as euro zone inflation data came in at 0.8 percent, one-tenth of a percentage point above expectations, lessening the prospect of new monetary stimulus measures from the European Central Bank.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 subsequently edged up 0.04 percent to 1,345.99.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI rose 83.71 points, or 0.51 percent, to 16,356.36. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX was up 9.24 points, or 0.50 percent, at 1,863.53. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC was up 11.73 points, or 0.27 percent, at 4,330.66.
The euro gained as traders had expected a slower pace of inflation in the euro zone and subsequent lower interest rates.
Major currency markets have been broadly stable as investors retreated from emerging markets to safer bets like the euro, dollar, yen and Swiss franc.
"The euro certainly looks good, everything is in place for more gains. But I wouldn't race out and buy it at the moment," said Graham Davidson, FX trader with NAB in London.
The euro rose 0.73 percent to 1.3808, rising above $1.38 for the first time this year. The dollar pared losses against the Japanese yen, trading near break-even at 102.12. (Reuters)

The race for L.A. mayor is grabbing most of the headlines, but Tuesday's elections in Glendale stand to play a pivotal role in the city's master-plan for development.
The city is undergoing major growth as demonstrated by the Americana mixed-use development. There is also controversy around the decision to limit languages on ballots to English and Armenian this year.
With more is Brittany Levine, a reporter who's been covering the elections for the Glendale News-Press.
