The Iris Project
The Iris Project is an educational charity which was started in 2006 by Dr Lorna Robinson in order to bring ancient languages and culture to inner city state schools and communities. Saying that the decline in the study of classics was "a real concern" and that the study of classics should not be confined to pupils at independent schools, she launched the project to considerable media interest.[1]
The project began by offering a magazine, Iris, free for state schools and weekend/lunchtime classes, and soon expanded across London and Oxford to many state schools as a part of the literacy curriculum.

Iris Magazine[edit]
In September 2006, the first issue of Iris magazine was published, a new classics magazine which aimed to present classical topics in a fun, accessible, light-hearted, modern and unusual way. The first issue featured articles such as the academic Dylan Evan's quest to re-establish Plato's Academy, a mock report on the ancient Olympian messenger system, a look at the prevalence of melting women in Ovid, amongst others. Later issues have included an article by Sarah Annes Brown on modern re-interpretations of the classics, a piece on the more gruesome elements of ancient medicine by Professor Helen King and interviews with prominent classicists.[2]
As well as serious articles by enthusiasts and academics on classical topics, the magazine set out to have a quirky and gently irreverent approach to the ancient world, and therefore included a fashion page, quizzes, a myth debunk page, advice from ancient deities and even a soap-opera inspired by the BBC's Life on Mars series.
All of these things were intended to make the subjects fun and accessible to school students and adults who may not have had any access to the subjects before.
From issue two, Alex Williams joined Iris as co-editor and since then has written the myth pages and advice column, amongst other things.[3]
The sixteenth issue of Iris was the last regular edition of the magazine. In November 2012, it switched to an annual edition.[4]
Notable issues include:
Issue One (Autumn 2006) "If Ovid and Horace were alive today, they would be the biggest paid executives in Hollywood ": Iris chats to Colin Dexter about Classics and the modern world"
Issue Two (January 2007) A chat with Boris Johnson
Issue Three (Summer 2007) An interview with Bettany Hughes, TV historian
Issue Six (Summer 2008) A chat with Ian Hislop, Editor of Private Eye[2]
Issue Thirteen (Autumn 2010) An interview with Jonathan Evans, Director General of MI5[5]
The London Literacy through Latin Project[edit]
In September 2006, Lorna started piloting Latin on the KS2 literacy curriculum to large mixed-ability classes in inner city schools. She used a course which she developed specifically for this pilot scheme, that delivered Latin using activities and the myths of Ovid. The lesson plans were designed to support and enhance the national curriculum literacy strategies, and to provide an exciting, original and accessible introduction to Latin. Activities were varied and lively, examples including the use of jigsaw pieces to teach inflection, making spider webs to display how Latin and English words were connected, making road signs to teach imperatives, and inventing ancient menus to introduce vocabulary and aspects of ancient culture. The course also encouraged children to explore ancient myths in a variety of ways, from drama and story tellings to artistic reinterpretations.[6]
The pilot proved to be very popular and successful,[7] and as a result, from September 2007, twenty state primary and secondary schools started classes in Latin using the same course.[8] From September 2008, state primary and secondary schools became involved in a range of inner London boroughs including Lambeth, Southwark, Brent, Tower Hamlets, Islington, Camden and Newham, as well as the schools continuing in Hackney. At this time The Iris Project began to run the scheme in conjunction with University College London and King's College London, and arranged for the students to received training from the King's College London Classics PGCE Department as part of the project.The participating schools expressed the importance of the role of Latin in helping support and enhance literacy skills.[9]
The Oxford Literacy through Latin Project[edit]
The Oxford Latin project was piloted in 2007/8 with a handful of primary schools in Oxford city, focussing particularly on schools in the east of the city, including some of the more deprived estates including Barton and Blackbird Leys.[10] The project continues to this day, and pupils receive year-long Latin courses as part of the literacy curriculum, following the same course as outlined above in the London Latin Project.
The Hackney Schools Greek Drama Project[edit]
In 2008, playwright Graham Kirby[11] joined The Iris Project as the co-originator of a new pilot project funded by University College London and run with the help of student volunteers.
The project started running in two schools in the London Borough of Hackney with a series of workshops that introduced Greek mythologies and history to Year 6 and Year 7 pupils.
The culmination of the project was on 7 July 2008 with a free performance at the Bloomsbury Theatre of Aristophanes' Frogs and Peace, translated and adapted by Graham Kirby. The project was viewed as a success by academics and seen as an important contribution to widening access to Classics. Professor Chris Carey commented: "These plays are an ideal vehicle because they are enormous fun and can be appreciated by a wide audience. The children did a very good job; I was impressed that they were never intimidated by the scale of the theatre. They put a lot of work into learning their lines and getting into character.".[12]
Latin in the Parks[edit]
In summer 2008, Lorna set up a new project for adults who had never had the opportunity to study Latin. Running twice-weekly in Oxford with occasional sessions in London, the project ran throughout May,June and July and will continue in 2009. The sessions are held in local parks, and have met with enthusiastic success.[13] They involve a mixture of an introduction to Latin through translating adapted versions of the myths of Greece and Rome, and informal talks on various aspects of the ancient world, such as Roman religion, roles of women, a history of the Roman republic, exploring the representation of various mythical figures in ancient literature and art, amongst many other topics.
These sessions were brought to Swansea by Dr Evelien Bracke in summer 2012.[14]
Early Day Motion[edit]
In July 2008 an Early Day Motion was tabled by Tom Brake MP who praised the Iris Project:
"That this House welcomes the initiative of the Iris Project, Latin in the Park, as an excellent opportunity for people from all backgrounds to learn Latin and about ancient culture free of charge in a friendly and relaxed setting; recognises that the project enables adults and families to explore various aspects of ancient culture, such as women in the ancient world, religion, the history of the Roman Republic and other subjects; further recognises that Latin may be viewed as an elite area of study discouraging wider participation; and draws attention to the fact that this initiative promotes access to the classics amongst all and any local communities."
EDM 2016 was signed by 31 other MPs. They were: Angus McNeil, Jeremy Corbyn, David Lepper, Andrew Dismore, Gordon Marsden, Lynne Jones, Edward Davey, Peter Bottomley, Stephen Williams, Kelvin Hopkins, Joan Humble, Alan Simpson, Brian Jenkins, Edward O'Hara, Michael Fallon, John Battle, Andy Slaughter, Greg Pope, Richard Shepherd, John McDonnell, Malcolm Bruce, Ann Cryer, Bill Etherington, Mark Fisher, Don Foster, Ian Taylor, Philip Davies, Mark Hunter, Vincent Cable, Martin Horwood, and Susan Kramer [15]
The Iris Festival of Greek Drama[edit]
In June 2009 the Iris Project launched a new Classics festival, run by Graham Kirby, at The Scoop in central London. The Iris Festival of Greek Drama took place on 17–19 June 2009 with a double bill of Greek comedy performed by inner London state schools, an afternoon of activities and workshops, and an evening performance of Euripides' The Bacchae, translated by Graham Kirby.
Over three days two hundred and fifty children took part in the afternoon performances from four different schools, performing adaptations of two abridged Greek plays, Birds and Clouds.
The festival was officially opened by London mayor Boris Johnson and was free to members of the public.
The Oxford Greek Project[edit]
A new project was launched in Autumn 2010, which involves teaching ancient Greek in east Oxford primary schools during the academic year to see if this will enhance and enrich the children's learning of English and other connected subjects in year six. Project leader Lorna Robinson stated that learning ancient Greek as part of the English KS2 curriculum would provide a fascinating basis for grasping the complexities of English grammar; and that it would also provide a fascinating framework within which to locate English learning, introducing them to an hugely influential culture and explaining how this culture and its language has shaped English and English cultural norms.[16]
The lessons, which are freely available on The Iris Project website for schools to use, connect with other aspects of the school curriculum, from history and geography, through to science and maths, and also drama, art and sport. The curriculum includes introductions to ancient Greek philosophy, theatre, democracy, sport and more. Sessions have also included an artefact session, where pupils have had the opportunity to handle copies of ancient Greek objects and to explore what information they give about ancient Greek society.[17]
Iota magazine[edit]
Iota is a new Classics magazine produced by The Iris Project for younger children. It aims to introduce Classics and Latin in a fun, informative and engaging way, and its content is designed and written to fit in with the key stage two material on the ancient Greeks and Romans. There are three editions published per year - one for each school term - and every issue is themed around a different Classical myth. Through five exciting sections, children can learn about the way Romans and Greeks lived, as well as being introduced to the Latin language through activities and games.[18]
Iris Online[edit]
Iris Online was designed by Duncan Martin and launched in October 2011 to bring Iris magazine's content online as well as featuring more immediate news, polls and reviews. The early site featured articles about philosophy, slavery and Lucian as well as interviews with Bettany Hughes, Joan Smith and Martha Kearney.
In 2015 its feature articles were linked with the projects being run at the East Oxford Classics Community Centre.
The current editor is Graham Kirby. [19]
The Mayor of London's Love Latin Scheme[edit]
A new scheme Love Latin is a Mayoral initiative run by The Iris Project which brings Latin and Classics to state schools across London through a team of volunteers.[20] Through a mixture of weekly Latin classes in primary schools and one-off workshops in primary or secondary schools, the scheme aims to unlock the mysteries of Latin and Classics for school children across the city. The Latin classes in primary schools expands on an existing successful scheme run by The Iris Project, 'Literacy through Latin'.
The one-off workshops in secondary schools is a programme which involves sending volunteers from all walks of life who have a classical background to give sessions in local schools on Classical topics which they are passionate about bringing to a new, young audience.
This scheme is part of the Team London initiative. A team of volunteers from London and elsewhere set about delivering workshops and talks on a wide range of topics: gladiators, Olympics, Julius Caesar, how ancient democracy connects to our democracy today, how Latin words connect to English ones, aimed at highlighting the connections between the ancient and modern world.[21]
Swansea Literacy through Latin Project[edit]
An expansion of the Iris Literacy through Latin project to help improve Welsh primary school pupils' literacy through the teaching of Latin for the first time was launched at Swansea University on Thursday, January 26, 2011.
The initiative is a collaboration between the University's Department of History and Classics and The Iris Project, which already successfully runs similar projects in a number of English primary schools.
Latin students from Swansea University's Department of History and Classics, as volunteers, teach Latin to year five and six pupils of Brynmill Primary School in Swansea for one hour a week in the Spring and Summer terms of 2012.
Dr Evelien Bracke, the Project Coordinator at Swansea University, said:"Latin will be approached in a fun and engaging way, through storytelling, games, and interaction, and with specific reference to linguistic skills in English. "In the next school year, the project will be opened up to other local schools in the South West Wales area."
As part of celebrations for the project's launch on Thursday, January 26, pupils from Brynmill Primary School will visit the University to take part in fun Roman-related activities, such as mosaic-making and commanding a Roman army.[22]
Further Expansion of the Literacy through Latin Project[edit]
In October 2012, the Literacy through Latin project was expanded to Reading, Manchester and St Andrews, with all places using the template of the project to set up local versions[23] Iris Project staff provide guidance and mentoring for the student teachers and university staff liaison officers. In October 2013, the project will expand to Glasgow. In 2012-3, there has been a pilot of a course book written and illustrated by Iris Project members, Telling Tales in Latin[24][25] in Pegasus primary school in Oxford and St Saviours primary school in London which culminates in the pupils sitting the new OCR Entry Level Latin qualification.[26] In October 2013, it is planned for other interested schools to use the project towards an examination.
East Oxford Community Classics Centre[edit]
The East Oxford Community Classics Centre was founded by The Iris Project in 2013. It is hosted at Cheney School, and is a vibrant Classics learning venue for people of all ages to attend events, workshops, lessons, and exhibitions.[27] The Centre was officially opened on 24 October 2013 with a large community classics festival, featuring Roman food and drink, activities, stalls, labyrinths and a minotaur trail.[28] Professor Mary Beard gave an opening address.[29] The Centre is run by The Iris Project with great support and input from Cheney School staff. Volunteers, often students from the University of Oxford and other local universities, help with many of its projects and evening classes.
The purpose of the Centre is both to provide a permanent presence within the school whereby pupils can engage with the Classics in a range of different ways, and also to provide an accessible place for visitors of all ages from the local community to experience Classics and attend lessons and sessions. All activities are provided with no charge.
In 2014, the Centre has continued to run evening classes workshops and events for the local community as well as for Cheney School pupils, including a Mosaics Project part funded by the Classics Conclave [30] [31]
It also runs themed days. So far these have included a Roman Medicine day[32] and a Classical Myth Day.
On 3rd and 4th July it ran a double bill of Ancient Athens Days which included having Re-Enactment Specialists Comitatus camping on site and delivering a range of exciting shows as well as the Team from the Oxford Greek Play 2014 The Furies who delivered drama-based workshops to year 6s who were visiting Cheney School for their Transfer Days[33]
It has also been running classics and positive psychology workshops for Cheney Plus Inclusion Unit, which are a first-of-its-kind initiative using classical myths to explore developing positive ways of thinking and relating to others [34]
It hosts an A level course open to pupils and adults from across the city and county.[35]
On 3rd October 2014 it held the Festival of Ancient Tales, a large festival to celebrate classical myths and stories as well as to mark the Centre's first birthday. Authors Caroline Lawrence, Adele Geras, Tom Holland and Lindsey Davis delivered talks, and poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy performed in the evening.[36]
Boris Johnson is a patron of the project. Other patrons are Professor Chris Carey, broadcaster Martha Kearney, historian and broadcaster Bettany Hughes, renowned educationalist and philosopher Mary Warnock, biographer Anthony Seldon, and campaigner and writer Joan Smith.[37]

"This card is so cute! It is very simple and lets you change color schemes. You can also work with a specialist to get specific font/colors (for instance, I had the heart changed to a pink color). The specialist always got back to me within a couple of minutes and did exactly what I wanted! They turned out so cute and came within a few days! Highly recommend :)"
"First off, it took us months to finally decide on the look we wanted for our wedding invitations. From the beginning, I'd already settled on Weddingpaperdivas though.. Their selection is simply amazing!! And the price?!? Nice!! I spent about a week going back and forth with the designers at weddingpaperdivas until my card was just right! They were so patient and fast!! I got the exact color, helpful suggestions, reassurance and most of all ,the cards came back looking fabulous. We've gotten nothing but compliments on these. I was so hesitant ordering my invites without holding a sample of the final product in my hand but again, my designers reassured me it would be great. When I opened the box I was wowed!!! They came out even better than I could have imagined. Thank you weddingpaperdivas!! These invitations actually reignited my excitement for this most special day."
"I picked the Raspberry color and detailed everything in the card in the special instructions portion - bc i needed my invites to be in Spanish! And the turnaround was fantastic - the designer sent it back just as i had detailed and I was able to proofread and approve and the delivery was fast. Great quality - i used the square edges on this design and it just looks so nice and elegant the raspberry is a beautiful magenta / fuchsia tone which are the colors of my wedding. Really liked the way these invites turned out. Thanks!"
"I am a photographer and have tried many different online printers. I was thrilled to find wedding paper divas. The quality of print for photographs is exceptional. The price was very reasonable. The paper used was high quality. The design team was great to work with. The couple was thrilled with their invites,so happy to have found Wedding paper divas!"
"I NEVER review products and felt compelled to share my thoughts on the finished product of our wedding invitations. I'm sharing because I picked these invites based off previous reviews and photos. So helpful! The designer I worked with was fantastic. The edited version was sent back to me so quickly, and was always what I asked for. Print quality and paper quality are fantastic. The paper is a nice recycled beige colour. Other reviews said they were white. The quality of the image is pretty good. Not amazing but we are perfectly happy. My invitations also arrived early. 5 Stars! Overall I'm thrilled with the invites and have been getting lots of nice compliments on them!"

Research universities set out an "Opportunity Agenda for BC"
The education and economic prosperity plan submitted by the presidents of BC's six research-intensive universities to the legislature in mid-October has been garnering support ever since, from student and faculty organizations to some of the province's most prominent newspapers.
The Research Universities' Council of BC (RUCBC) on Oct. 18 released an "Opportunity Agenda for BC"—a practical plan to expand post-secondary opportunities for young people, close the skills gap and create jobs throughout the province.
UVic retains second place in Maclean's rankings
UVic has retained second place for the third straight year in the comprehensive university category in the 22nd edition of the Maclean's rankings of Canadian universities. The university's commitment to excellence in all areas is evident in the results, with UVic ranked in top three in 10 of 13 performance indicators used to create the annual report. UVic scored well for its library expenses, acquisitions and holdings, as well as for its amount of total research dollars and the percentage of its budget dedicated to student scholarships.
It's never too late to support the United Way
This year's UVic United Way campaign got off to a strong start in October, and there is still time to donate and show your support at upcoming campus fundraising events.
Turning the wheels of change: Indigenizing the Academy
In the recent past, colonizers used education—most notably in the form of residential schools—as a powerful weapon in an effort to destroy Indigenous cultures. In late August, more than 250 people from 33 postsecondary educational institutions across Canada gathered at the Chilliwack campus of the University of the Fraser Valley—in traditional Stó:lō territory—to explore ways to make postsecondary education serve Indigenous students and their communities better.
UVic's Board of Governors 2012/13
The University of Victoria Board of Governors is one of two primary governing bodies of the university (the other being the UVic Senate). Under the University Act of British Columbia, it is responsible for the management, administration and control of the property, revenue and business affairs of the university.
Taking care of (sustainability in) business
Twenty-nine per cent; 56 per cent; 94 per cent. Percentages like this would be an interesting spread on a student's transcript but what they say about an entire faculty is, perhaps, even more intriguing. They represent the inclusion of sustainability and social responsibility (S/SR) within core courses at the Gustavson School of Business, and—by the end of this school year—these stats will be 100 per cent across the board.
Writing prof plugs into Tech & Society program
Considering how technology has impacted the publishing world, it's no surprise that Department of Writing professor David Leach has been named the new director of the Technology and Society program. "Because it's an interdisciplinary minor, we almost need a ringmaster who's not necessarily an expert in every area but is comfortable making those connections," says Leach. "My journalistic background helps, having seen how digital technologies transformed the music industry and is currently transforming journalism and publishing."
Idyllic lakefront facility available for study, workshops, retreats
Just because summer's over doesn't mean you have to shelve your dreams of rusticating at the cottage or lake for another year. Nestled along nearly a kilometre of wooded shoreline on scenic Cowichan Lake is UVic's own version of an idyllic lakefront getaway—the Jeanne S. Simpson Field Studies Resource Centre. A perfect location for field study or an inspirational workshop, meeting or retreat, it's available—at a modest charge—for all academic and administrative units and clubs in support of their programs and the strategic goals of the university.
UVic and Island Savings team up for families
It really is a gift that will keep on giving. The University of Victoria and Island Savings have recently announced a partnership between the two institutions, as part of Island Savings' Growing Island Families Together (GIFT) program.
Kuehne: "It's been a great privilege."
Seven years ago, when Valerie Kuehne became vice-president external relations, she had a set of goals for the division she was about to lead.
"I felt that the division needed to be integrated more fully into the core of the university's academic mission," she says.

Hotel on Rivington
107 Rivington Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Lower East Side
Towering above the grimy storefronts and tenement buildings of the Lower East Side, the Hotel on Rivington gambles on an unlikely location and extracts what will be, for a certain subset of travelers to New York, a weighty payoff. This is one of Manhattan's last wild neighborhoods, and won't appeal much to the luxury-goods travelers who stay along the fringes of Central Park, or the business travelers who pack the Midtown hotels — but for the younger clientele with culture-industry business in the downtown arts districts, it offers a set of unique charms.
It's an incongruous sight, this sleek glass tower sprouting above its low-slung brick neighbors, but you can't argue with the results — the views from the rooms, even on the middling floors, are extraordinary, taking in the Financial District, the downtown bridges, even the Midtown towers, depending on your room's orientation. And the rooms themselves reflect the neighborhood's jaunty, youthful tempo, with au courant accessories such as flat-screen televisions, iHome stereos, on-demand movies and complimentary wi-fi, along with low-tech charms like Frette linens and robes and, in many rooms, private terraces from which to take in the jaw-dropping views.
In-room spa services are available, though they're very nearly rendered superfluous by the stunning Bisazza-tiled bathrooms, complete with deep Japanese-style soaking tubs and Davines bath products. Chef James London, who studied under Jacques Pépin, helms the hotel's own CO-OP Food & Drink, serving an unexpected (and unexpectedly successful) combination of American brasserie fare and sushi. Meanwhile the shops and restaurants of Soho are within easy reach, and the Lower East Side has its share of attractions, including truly gritty dive bars, hipster hangouts and music venues, as well as a new crop of more upmarket nightspots.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- Guaranteed 2 pm check-out
- $25 food and beverage credit for CO-OP restaurant (no voucher necessary, discount applied at end of stay. Credit not applicable to in-room dining)
- Special in-room welcome amenities upon arrival
- Two complimentary bottles of water in room each day (a total value of US$16 per day)

What I liked:
The hotel is in a fantastic gritty neighborhood, filled with hipsters and alphabet city fashonistas. I was upgraded to a mini suite with a cute little parlor and a bathroom built for 5. The double shower was awesome and evoked memories of a high school shower room with not only a view, but designer amenities. Closet space was ample and more than anyone would really need. A great mini bar with full size bottles and upscale treats. The binoculars were a tongue-in-cheek touch given the exhibitionist nature of this glass tower.
What the hotel could do better:
Not much...they could mark the elevator with a "lobby" sign, as it was not intuitive to go to level 2 to check in. Not a hotel for the "average" tourist traveler to NYC. If you don't care much about the neighbors checking out your shower activities ask for a room on the upper floors. The lower east side location is fantastic for restaurants and clubs, but may not be suitable for those seeking a more generic NY experience. Times Square it aint! (thank god.)

47 injured in road accident in Negros Occidental
BACOLOD CITY—At least 47 people were hurt on Thursday afternoon when the truck they were riding fell on its side after hitting a concrete barrier in a mountain village of Don Salvador Benedicto town , about 42 kilometers east of this city.
The victims came from a wedding in Calatrava town and were heading home to Bago City when the accident happened at Purok Mabuhay, Barangay (village) Pandanon in Don Salvador Benedicto town, at 5:45 p.m., said Inspector Celjun Nemenio, the town's police chief.
He said Jolibert Gonzales, 50, driver of the Canter truck was detained by the Don Salvador Benedicto police pending investigation.
Gonzales said he and the passengers on the truck, many of whom were his relatives, went to Calatrava town in northern Negros Occidental to attend a wedding.
After the wedding, they headed home to Purok Malipayon, Barangay Busay, Bago, he added.
Gonzales said that while he was driving downhill in Purok Mabuhay in Don Salvador Benedicto, he shifted gears and stepped on the brakes.
He added that the brakes malfunctioned, causing him to hit the cement barrier on the side of the road that was put up to prevent vehicles from falling into a cliff.
When the truck fell on its side, the people at the back of the truck fell. The legs of a 6-year-old girl, who was the flower girl in the wedding, were pinned under the vehicle, said Gonzales.
The driver said he and his two companions in the front seat of were unharmed.
The passengers were rushed to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital and the Bacolod Adventist Medical Center, Nemenio said.

Dalaguete chief killed in car mishap
More News from Jhunnex Napallacan, Rhea Ruth V. Rosell
A barangay captain was killed after he was hit by a car while crossing the road to his house in Dalaguete town, south Cebu.
Antonio Vergaño, 61, barangay captain of Tapon, had just disembarked from a Ceres bus when the accident happened about 7 p.m. on Monday.
Vergaño was with his daughter, a registered nurse. They came from Cebu City where his daughter had bank errands.
Vergaño's daughter, Joan, was the first to cross the street to their house in sitio Panaguikan
When Vergaño followed, he was hit by a white Nissan March sedan.
His head first hit the windshield before he was thrown down the pavement.
The car driver was arrested about three kilometers away, said SPO1 Veronico Centino, desk officer of the Dalaguete police station.
Rodnel Ponce, 25, said he drove off, afraid that residents would lynch him.
Ponce told police the barangay captain suddenly emerged from behind the Ceres bus and it was too late to step on the car brakes.
Ponce is a sales representative of Mandaue Surplus company. The car with plate number KEG-285 was registered to the company.
A complaint for reckless imprudence resulting to homicide was filed against Ponce with the Provincial Prosecutors' Office in Cebu City.
Vergaño was brought to the Dr. Ildefonso Alcantara Memorial Hospital then transferred to the South General Hospital in Naga City where he died past 1 a.m. on Tuesday.
He was a former Dalaguete municipal councilor for three consecutive terms.
The remains of Vergaño were brought to the St. William Fineral Homes in Dalaguete.

Upendra says he has given his best performance in Godfather after Gouramma, released seven years ago
Friday is the Varamahalakshmi festival. It is also festival time for Upendra fans, as his latest film, Godfather, starring him and Soudarya Jayamala, hits over 100 cinemas across the State.
Both Upendra and producer K. Manju are pulling out all the stops to market the film, directed by cinematographer-turned-director S. Sriram. They have stacked up over 3 lakh audio CDs as freebies — one per ticket — to give to the audience on the first three days, according to Prasad of Ashwini Media Network Ltd., which is distributing the CDs.
Upendra, who wrote the dialogues, says he has given his best performance in Godfather after Gouramma, released seven years ago. He says he has given it his all to ensure it works for the audience.
Triple role
Soundarya, daughter of actor Jayamala, is debuting in this film though she was to have been launched in Lagori directed by Yogaraj Bhat. Besides her, Catherine and Shweta are also paired with Upendra, who has a triple role as father and two sons. The glamorous Bhumika Chawla appears in a special dance sequence.
The film marks Sriram's directorial debut. He was the cinematographer for Wanted Meelenge and Tere Naam. Also, the music is by none other than A.R. Rahman, a first for a Kannada film.
Despite such hardsell, Godfather is a remake of Varalaru, a Tamil blockbuster directed by K.S. Ravikumar with Ajith, Asin and Kanika in the lead roles that was released six years ago. The story is also nothing extraordinary: the usual yarn about a rich father partial to one son and not very kind to the sibling whose looks are nothing to write home about. Ajit won critical acclaim for his performance in the Tamil original.
No charge
Rahman offered his services for free, says Manju, who spent Rs. 1 crore on the studio, artistes, instruments, recording and re-recording.
"I owe a lot to my fans in Karnataka. It's time to pay them back," the Mozart of Madras said with characteristic humility at a recent press conference.
Director Sriram said the producer is happy with the outcome and that Godfather will be a landmark for its technical superiority.
Pre-release publicity
Godfather got some pre-release publicity because Manju objected to fellow producer Muniratna releasing Katari Veera Surasundarangi with Upendra and Ramya in the lead roles.
He feared that back-to-back releases of two Upendra films would harm his business interests. Finally he had to abide by the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce's decision to release Katari Veera…, which got the censor certificate earlier.
Keywords: Upendra, Godfather, Soudarya Jayamala

Nicole Kidman: I can finally move my face again
Published 01/02/2013 | 09:18
Nicole Kidman has regained movement in her face after turning to Botox to stave off aging.
The 45-year-old actress has been subject to scrutiny over the years for her wrinkle-free face.
Critics have accused her of using the face-freezing injections to maintain her looks.
Nicole has admitted to experimenting with Botox in the past but has always denied going under the knife.
In a new interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Nicole opens up about her treatment.
She insists she wasn't happy with the side effects and her days of using Botox are long over.
"No surgery for me," she reiterates, adding, "I did try Botox, unfortunately, but I got out of it and now I can finally move my face again."
The interview was first obtained by RadarOnline.
The website quotes Nicole as saying her decision to get the injections was an "unfortunate move".
Nicole did not elaborate on how long it has been since she has received a treatment.
She credits her youthful looks today to her healthy lifestyle and insists she is "completely natural".
"I wear sunscreen, I don't smoke and I take care of myself, and I am proud to say that," she added.
"Anybody can do anything to themselves – I don't judge – but personally I believe in being physically fit. That's how I was raised."
Nicole is married to country music singer Keith Urban.
The couple share two daughters: Sunday, born in 2008, and Faith, born in 2010.

Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa
801 Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Sausalito
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
There are plenty of hotels, both old-fashioned and painfully hip, within the San Francisco city limits. Casa Madrona is different, though; no towering city hotel, this is a Victorian mansion tucked into a hillside in Sausalito — just off the far end of the Golden Gate Bridge, in upscale Marin County.
It's a short ferry ride from Market Street and the Financial District, but it's a completely different world, all rustic charm on the quiet waterfront. This is the bay side, not the Pacific side, so you won't be watching whales in the sunset; but you won't see any of that icy cold fog either.
The main building is an authentic Victorian mansion, dating from 1885, which is ancient history on the West Coast. The rooms in this building are appropriately old-fashioned, and not particularly expansive, though many compensate with dramatic views of Richardson's Bay and Belvedere Island. 31 more rooms are found in the modern addition, product of a 2002 renovation, and these rooms are more contemporary in style, nineteen of them featuring private balconies facing the waterfront. And those seeking greater privacy may book one of the garden casitas scattered throughout the property.
Though a small hotel just outside the city, Casa Madrona has a few nice touches that push it a little closer to destination resort territory. An hour on the massage table in the spa, and you may forget whatever business brought you to the Bay Area. And let's not even get started on those seaweed wraps and sea salt scrubs.
How to get there:
Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa is approximately a 15-minute drive from downtown San Francisco and 40-50 minutes from San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

To: Inventor Re: Patent Research, Due Diligence, Drafting, Filing Thank you for seeking patent support of your invention, including a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), search, due diligence strategy, drafting, filing, and possibly prosecution. If I have the privilege to work with you, I offer exceptional quality and cost effective patent agent work, including but not limited to your desired noted technology. I can support your presumed micro entity status filing with discussion together to evaluate your best options regarding preparation of an NDA, a search, strategy, drafting, and possible revision, of your provisional application (PA) and/or non-provisional application (NPA). This includes, but not limited to, learning about you, what you already have regarding your patent, like sketches or existing write-ups, and any time constraints that I should know about. From initial writings of what you seek, it appears you possibly desire confirmation for preparation and filing of a PA, and eventually a possible NPA. A search is best to be done first, with a talk together to see what specification and drawing has been already prepared. Given your interest presuming of completing quickly, combined with an unknown budget to complete the work, this can be further discussed at any time that is convenient to you to arrange a reasonable relation between work to be done and your allowable budget. I look forward to helping you in all ways for your patent needs. We can connect by any means at times convenient to you.

UK or British English, which eventually evolved into the use of American English, has been my first language since childhood. I am proficient in both written and spoken English and I am acutely aware and critical of grammar, making me a perfectionist to the point of obsessive compulsion sometimes. I also aim to keep my independent contracting business running by keeping my schedule flexible enough to accommodate client needs, as well as being consistently attuned to their specific requirements so I may deliver quality projects ahead of any given deadline.

Over the past 15 years I have developed a wide range of skills working as an independent contractor. I love to learn and because of that there are multiple jobs that I enjoy and excel at. Although I enjoy all of my jobs, I am most passionate about writing. I am fortunate to have a lot of experience in many areas, such as: Writing: SEO Content, Copy writer, Creative (bachelor's degree in Journalism), Mac Specialist, IT (tech support for AOL), Paralegal (legal asst. degree), Private Investigation (licensed), Researcher, Data Entry, Writing for ChaCha and Ask.com, Accounts Payable and Receivable, General Automotive Knowledge (1 year auto mechanics), and more. However, whatever it is that I am tasked to do I give my all. It is very important to me that I do the job to my employer's expectations; it makes them feel good which makes me feel good.

Timeline of American Ballet in the 20th Century.
* Marius Petipa (1818-1910), choreographer of Sleeping Beauty (1890), Swan Lake (1895, with Lev Ivanov), and Raymonda (1898).
* Vaslav Nijinsky (1889-1950) shocks Pads in 1912 with his innovative and explicit L'Aprbsmidi d'un Faune for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. He becomes the most famous male dancer in the world and an icon for generations to come.
* Anna Pavlova (1881-1931) unveils California Poppy in San Francisco in 1915 and becomes the embodiment of ballet in America.
* Diaghilev's Ballets Russes holds its first Pads season at the Theatre du Chatelet in 1909.
* Dance Magazine is founded in 1927. It becomes the most influential publication in the field, and by century's end, the oldest arts magazine in America.
* Philadelphia Ballet premieres Sleeping Beauty in 1937, choreographed by company founder Catherine Littlefield (1905-51).
* Eugene Loring (1914-82) choreographs and stars in Billy the Kid for Lincoln Kirstein's Ballet Caravan (1938), the first work on an American theme to remain in the repertory of many ballet companies.
* Dorothy Alexander (1904-86) in 1929 forms the concert group that becomes Atlanta Ballet.
* Adolph Bolm (1884-51), a partner of Pavlova and choreographer of Krazy Kat (1922), forms San Francisco Opera Ballet in 1933. Willam Christensen joins company as ballet master in 1938 and produces first U.S. versions of Coppglia, Nutcracker, and Swan Lake. Brothers Lew (1909-84) and Harold (1904-89) later join him to direct, respectively, the company and its school.
* George Balanchine (1904-83) arrives in New York City in 1933 at the invitation of Lincoln Kirstein (1907-96); next year he choreographs Serenade, his first U.S. ballet.
* Ballets Russes spinoffs after Diaghilev's death in 1929 included the popular Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Its American tours from 1938 to 1961 create a national audience for dance with such stars as Alexandra Danilova (1903-97) and Frederic Franklin (shown here in Nutcracker Pas de Deux).
* In 1942 Ballet Theatre premieres Pillar of Fire by Antony Tudor (1908-87), starting Nora Kaye (1920-87), shown above with Tudor; his repertory becomes a cornerstone of the company.
* In 1942 Agnes de Mille (1909-93) creates Rodeo for Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, dancing the Cowgirl; next year she choreographs Broadway's first "dream ballet" for Oklahoma!
* Ruth Page (1900-91) choreographs Frankie and Johnny with Bentley Stone (1908-84) in 1938 for the Page-Stone Ballet Company; her many tours with her various companies, including Chicago Opera Ballet (1955), make her a vital force in American dance.
* Ballet (later American Ballet) Theatre gives its first season in 1940 with Patricia Bowman as ballerina (with Nina Stroganova, left).
* 1964 The National Association for Regional Ballet is chartered, giving rise to one of the most important movements in American dance.
* Margot Fonteyn (1919-91) dances Aurora in Sadler's Wells (later Royal) Ballet's Sleeping Beauty when the U.S. impresario Sol Hurok imports the London company for a triumphant debut in New York City in 1949.
* Balanchine and Kirstein found New York City Ballet in 1948 with Manhattan's City Center as home base. In 1949, Maria Tallchief stars in Firebird, the work that gains her international stardom and gives NYCB its first box-office hit.
* 1959 The Ford Foundation establishes a national ballet scholarship program; controversial grants to ballet companies in the mid-1960s draw protest from modern dance advocates.
* In 1944, Jerome Robbins (1918-98) begins his dual career as a successful choreographer for ballet and Broadway with Fancy Free for Ballet Theatre (Robbins is at center, above); a musical adaptation, On the Town, follows within months.
* Maya Plisetskaya (left, in Swan Lake) and Galina Ulanova (in The Dying Swan) are among the stars of the Bolshoi Ballet when Hurok presents the Moscow company in its first U.S. season in 1959. Two years later he brings over the Kirov Ballet.
* In 1954, Robert Joffrey (1930-88) starts Robert Joffrey Theater Ballet; by 1956 the company was touring the U.S. in a station wagon (Joffrey is seated at left and Gerald Arpino is kneeling at right).
* Jacob's Pillow introduces the U.S. to the Bournonville style in 1955 by presenting a touring troupe drawn from the Royal Danish Ballet.
* 1965 National Endowment for the Arts is established and begins providing vital assistance to American dance.
* Defections of great Soviet dancers invigorate Western classical ballet: (from left) Rudolf Nureyev (1938-95), who defects in 1961; Natalia Makarova, in 1971; and Mikhail Baryshnikov, in 1974. All were members of the Kirov Ballet.
* Former NYCB star Arthur Mitchell, first African American to become a principal dancer with a major U.S. company, founds Dance Theatre of Harlem in 1969 with Karel Shook (1920-85) to create greater opportunities for blacks in ballet.
* Twyla Tharp begins choreographing for ballet companies in 1973, when she made Deuce Coupe for the Joffrey; her crossover work for ABT begins with Push Comes
* Balanchine dies in 1983; the Balanchine Trust, organized and directed by Barbara Horgan, becomes the major model for preserving a master's work.
* 1976 Public Broadcasting System airs its first Dance in America program, vastly increasing dance audiences.
* From the 1960s to the 1980s, legendary partnerships are formed. Among the more famous are (from left): Carla Fracci and Erik Bruhn (1928-86), in Giselle at American Ballet Theatre; Margot Fonteyn and Nureyev, in Ashton's Marguerite and Armand at the Royal Ballet; Peter Martins and Suzanne Farrell, in Robbins's Afternoon of a Faun at New York City Ballet; and Cynthia Gregory and Feruando Bujones, in Coppdlia, at ABT.
* Joffrey Ballet becomes a City Center resident company in 1966 and begins reviving 20th-century classics by Massine, Jooss, Fokine, and Ashton (his Les Patineurs is below).
* 1991 Soviet Union collapses and a flood of Russian-trained dancers moves to the U.S., greatly affecting professional regional dance.
* 1987 First "Dancing for Life" benefit raises money to fight AIDS.
* Carlos Acosta embodies the virtuosity of today's growing contingent of Latin male dancers with international careers.
* Julio Bocca's impassioned cavaliers for ABT during the 1990s put Argentina on the U.S. dance map.
* Nina Ananiashvili exemplifies the new international Russian ballerina who commutes between Moscow, London, Houston, and New York City.
* Prominent among the American dancers and choreographers who first became famous abroad were (from left): Glen Tefley, shown in his Pierrot Lunaire (1962); John Neumeier, artistic director of Hamburg Ballet; Richard Cragun, who formed a distinguished partnership with Marcia Haydee at Stuttgart Ballet; and former Joffrey dancer William Forsythe, now artistic director of Frankfurt Ballet, whose works are in the repertories of companies worldwide.

Re: travel tips
Departure procedures are pretty much straight forward at the Dammam airport. Baggage Check, Passenger Check-in, Security Check and Immigration (I may have switched the last 2, as my last trip out was via bus to Bahrain). There's a big waiting lounge after Immigration, with some snack kiosks and a small duty free shopping area. The male/female segregation still applies, and better keep your abaya on. I just don't remember anymore if we paid any airport tax.
Being also a mother travelling with a kid, I've encountered at lot of helpful people in my previous trips to/from the Middle East. Though entering the King Fahd airport building in particular, porters helping with your baggage are expecting some tip/gratuity.

I have a question about submitting the form for requesting the free file of the month. Maybe a staff member can chime in, or someone else in the know.
If I submit a request to have one of my tracks be the free file of the month, does that request remain in AudioJungle's "free file request queue?" In other words, once I submit the request, do I ever need to submit it for that track again? Say next month? Or once I submit it, is that request maintained in the system? Thanks!
It will remain in the queue
Was just going to mention that Travis once told me that
OK, thanks for the info

President Barack Obama is making sure that everyone who came out for the nuclear summit is on the same page.
As nuclear talks come to a close in a Washington, D.C., The Washington Post reports that the president sent out a lengthy statement to the 47 world leaders summing up the goals outlined during the two-day conference.
Chief among the 12 objectives laid out this week is the mission to secure all nuclear materials within the next four years. The letter went out this afternoon as President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia announced that his administration would shutter the country's last plutonium factory.
Each of the leaders signed a promissory note agreeing to keep tight security on the nuclear materials in their given countries. Each of them also committed to initiatives that will curtail trafficking of such substances.
It's expected that the full communiqué will be presented at the close of the summit, which President Obama called in hopes of establish global nuclear security through international transparency.
"Our objective is clear: ensure that terrorists never gain access to plutonium or highly-enriched uranium—the essential ingredients of a nuclear weapon," the statement reads. "The challenge we face is how to lock down the over 2,000 tons of plutonium and highly enriched uranium [that] exist in dozens of countries with a variety of peaceful as well as military uses."
Ultimately, the president hopes to get all countries to do away with nuclear weapons altogether.

Tales of Legendia is by the books as an RPG can get. 0
I'm a big fan of the early Tales of games like Phantasia and Destiny, so I was expecting something on par with those. I kinda got that I guess, the battle system was atleast close to par (where's my Tempest attacks?), but the story didn't "grab" me like the other Tales of games I've played. The biggest flaw in the game is the weak weak weak weak dungeons, luckily they're short, otherwise my mind would of dried up from the boredom.

Tales of Legendia offers an interesting story, but the experience is hindered by bad design choices and cliches. 0
I love the Tales series, and Tales of Legendia is easily my least favorite. This game came after Tales of Symphonia, and this was a HUGE step back for the franchise. Luckily, Tales of the Abyss later got the series back on track, but that doesn't change just how painful Tales of Legendia is to play. Between the annoying, cliche characters and the monotonous gameplay, this game falls short of its potential.Tales of Legendia is sort of a throwback to the earlier Tales games in that the camera kind...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.

That's not necessarily true.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Broken Arm
In this article
Broken Arm Overview
A broken or fractured arm means that one or more of the bones of the arm have been cracked. This is a common injury occurring in both children and adults. In adults, fractures of the arm account for nearly half of all broken bones. In children, fractures of the forearm are second only to broken collarbones.
The arm consists of 3 major bones. The humerus runs from the shoulder to the elbow. This is called the upper arm, or, simply, the arm. At the elbow, the humerus connects with 2 bones: the radius and the ulna. These bones go from the elbow to the wrist and are regarded as the forearm.
Broken Arm Causes
Almost all injuries to the arm that result in a broken bone are caused in 2 ways: falls and direct trauma.
- The typical fall that produces a fracture occurs when you fall on your outstretched hand. The location of the fracture can be from the wrist up to the shoulder depending on the direction of the fall, the age of the person, and other factors that modify the stresses applied to the bone.
- Direct trauma can be from a direct blow from an object such as a bat, the trauma during a car accident, or any accident that causes the direct application of force to a part of the arm.
Broken Arm Symptoms
Most broken arms have these symptoms:
- A large amount of pain and increased pain when moving the arm
- Swelling
- Maybe an obvious deformity compared to the other arm
- Possible open wound either from the bone puncturing the skin or from the skin being cut during the injury
- Decreased sensation or inability to move the limb, which may indicate nerve damage
When to Seek Medical Care
Call your doctor after an accident if these signs are present:
- Significant pain that is not relieved by ice and home pain medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin)
- A large amount of swelling or mild deformity of the arm compared to the opposite arm
- Significant pain with use or limited use of the affected arm
- Pain in one specific part of the arm when it is pressed
Your doctor may advise you to go directly to a hospital's emergency department. Under the following conditions, go directly to the hospital for emergency care:
- Visible bone sticking out through the skin
- Heavy bleeding from an open wound
- Complete lack of movement or sensation of part of the arm
- Obvious deformity that looks drastically different from the usual appearance
- Loss of consciousness
- Many other injuries
