Long-lost Van Gogh painting unveiled in Amsterdam
THE HAGUE — Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum on Monday unveiled a newly discovered painting by the Dutch master, a find labelled "a once-in-a lifetime experience."
"Sunset at Montmajour," a large oil landscape, was unveiled to applause by the museum's director Axel Rueger as a "unique experience that has not happened in the history of the Van Gogh Museum."
Depicting a landscape of oaks, the painting was brought to the museum from a private collection, where researchers set to work and authenticated it based on comparisons with Van Gogh's techniques and a letter he wrote on July 4 1888, in which he described the painting.
It had been lying for years in the attic of a Norwegian collector who thought the painting was a fraud, after buying it in 1908.
"This discovery is more or less a once in a lifetime experience," said researcher Louis van Tilborgh, who helped with its authentication.
"There is no doubt that it is a Van Gogh," he added.
The Van Gogh Museum reopened its doors to the public in early May with a stunning new display of the some of the Dutch master's greatest works, completing a trio of renovations of the city's most famous museums.
It is located on Amsterdam's historic Museumplein where many other Dutch art treasures like Rembrandt's "Night Watch" can also be found at the recently reopened Rijksmuseum.
The museum features 200 works, 140 by the Dutch master himself and the rest by contemporary painters.
They include other iconic works such as "The bedroom", the "Irises", "The Potato Eaters" and the ominous "Wheatfield with crows."
The newly unveiled Van Gogh will go on display on September 24 with other works by the Dutch master.
With its reopening, the museum expects to attract some 1.2 million visitors over the next year and is one of the world's 25 most popular museums, according to the City of Amsterdam.
The Van Gogh Museum was the last of Amsterdam's three major museums to reopen its doors after extensive refurbishments, underlining the Dutch capital's status as a top art destination.

YogaFit for Warriors: Treating PTSD on Base
June is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month and YogaFit wants to remind you that there are ways to help heal PTSD, such as breathing and meditation exercises, and several poses, which require no pharmaceutical medication. YogaFit seeks to spread their Yoga For Warriors program that features trainings on how to help those who has suffered from traumatic injury or who currently suffer from PTSD to overcome the disorder.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2013
YogaFit, the world's largest instructional school for yoga is spreading awareness of PTSD and the proven positive effects meditation and yoga can have on it.
The YogaFit for Warriors program will help Yoga Teachers gain a deeper understanding of exactly how trauma gets stored in the body, and which yoga postures, breathing methods, and meditation practices are particularly effective at releasing physical and emotional trauma at the autonomic level.
Additionally, trainees will understand what Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury is from a physical standpoint in the body, and why slower movement in a yoga class is important to activate the natural healing mechanism that can help to reset the nerve impulses and unresolved tension being held within the body and the brain. Fitness professionals will learn to develop a yoga class that helps students to free troubling emotions, persevering thought patterns, chronic somatic tension and hyper vigilance in military personnel, emergency responders, and others who suffer from emotional or physical trauma.
The YogaFit for Warriors program is taught in traditional studios as well as on military bases. Spouses of those in the military may receive financial assistance to take this program.
You can find more information of the YogaFit for Warriors program by visiting us here.

Western Massachusetts Library Club
Western Massachusetts Library Club Records, 1898-2006.
Call no.: MS 492
Situated in a region known for its progressive spirit, the Western Massachusetts Library Club was established in 1898 to respond to the unique needs of librarians overseeing small or rural libraries, and to foster camaraderie among local colleagues. Almost immediately, however, the club expanded its focus, taking positions on issues ranging from modern library practices to national legislation and leading the way in the expansion of services for public libraries, all while maintaining its identity as an advocate for local libraries and librarians.
The collection is richest in records that document the early history of the club including detailed meeting minutes, news clippings, programs, and circulars. Beginning in the late 1960s, the club's activities are captured primarily through membership lists and meeting notices and programs. Taken together, the records trace the growth of the WMLC for more than a century from its establishment to the present.

Wood, Robert Coldwell, 1923-2005
Robert Coldwell Wood Papers, 1964-1977.
Call no.: RG 003/3 W66
A distinguished political scientist, specialist on urban affairs, and advisor to two U.S. Presidents, Robert Coldwell Wood was named the first President of the new University of Massachusetts system. A graduate of Princeton and Harvard (PhD 1949), Wood built his academic reputation on the faculty at MIT. An advisor to John F. Kennedy on urban policy, he served in the Johnson administration as Under-Secretary, and briefly Secretary, of Housing and Urban Development before coming to UMass in 1970. His Presidency was marked by considerable turmoil as he navigated the reorganization of the university into a system of three campuses and as he struggled with discontent among students and faculty and conflict with the legislature. Wood died in April 2005 at the age of 81.
Although far from a comprehensive record, the Wood papers offer insight into the tumultuous tenure of Robert C. Wood as President of the University of Massachusetts, 1970-1977. The largest series in the collection (Series 2) consists of the central office files from Boston, including a fairly full record of outgoing correspondence, materials on staff and facilities at the various campuses, minutes of meetings and reports, and records of Wood's numerous trips and lecture engagements while in office.

Albertson, Dean
Dean Albertson Papers, 1966-1968.
Call no.: FS 114
A long-time faculty member at UMass Amherst, Dean Albertson was a twentieth century U.S. historian with a specialty in oral history. A veteran of the Second World War, Albertson received his BA from University of California Berkeley (1942) and doctorate from Columbia (1955), joining the Department of History at UMass in 1965 after several years at Brooklyn College. Interested throughout his career in new methods in research and teaching history, he was author of books on Dwight Eisenhower, Claude Wickard (Franklin Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture), and the student movements of the 1960s. Albertson died at his home in Longmeadow, Mass., on March 31, 1989, at the age of 68.
The Albertson Papers consist of the records of three summer institutes in history at UMass run during the summer 1966-1968, and funded by the National Defence Education Act (NDEA). Aimed at high school teachers of social sciences and history in western Massachusetts, the institutes were designed to provide in-service training and to expose teachers to newer material and techniques in teaching U.S. history.

Clark, Henry James, 1826-1873
Henry James Clark Papers, 1865-1872.
Call no.: FS 048
The first professor of Natural History at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Henry James Clark, had one of the briefest and most tragic tenures of any member of the faculty during the nineteenth century. Having studied under Asa Gray and Louis Agassiz at Harvard, Clark became an expert microscopist and student of the structure and development of flagellate protozoans and sponges. Barely a year after joining the faculty at Massachusetts Agricultural College at its first professor of Natural History, Clark died of tuberculosis on July 1, 1873.
A small remnant of a brief, but important career in the natural sciences, the Henry James Clark Papers consist largely of obituary notices and a fraction of his published works. The three manuscript items include two letters from Clark's widow to his obituarist and fellow naturalist, Alpheus Hyatt (one including some minor personal memories), and a contract to build a house on Pleasant Street in Amherst.

David R. Inglis Papers, 1929-2003 (Bulk: 1946-1980).
Call no.: FS 033
David R. Inglis enjoyed a distinguished career in nuclear physics that ranged from theoretical work on the structure of the nucleus in the 1930s to the development of the atomic bomb in the 1940s and work on renewable energy in the 1960s and 1970s. A Professor of Physics at UMass from 1969-1975, Inglis was a founding member of the Federation of American Scientists and from the mid-1940s on, he dedicated himself to informing public policy on the dangers of nuclear technologies.
The Inglis Papers offer a perspective on the life and career of a theoretical physicist who grew from an early involvement in the Manhattan Project to becoming a committed critic of nuclear weaponry and nuclear power. Although the collection is relatively sparse in unpublished scientific work, it includes valuable correspondence relating to Inglis's efforts with the Federation of American Scientists and other organizations to influence public policy on issues relating to disarmament and nuclear power.

Admitted to the Michigan Bar in 1936, he worked with a Detroit law firm from 1936 to 1940 before joining the political science department at Brown University from 1941 to 1944. He returned to the University of Michigan in 1944, filling a number of positions until 1960, when the University of Massachusetts elected him President. Under Lederle's leadership, the Amherst campus enjoyed its greatest period of growth. From 1960 to 1970, student enrollment more than tripled and faculty salaries nearly doubled. The academic program expanded greatly, particularly at the graduate level, and under his watch, the university instituted an academic press, a public radio station, and collaborative arrangements between the local colleges. The University system also evolved in the Lederle years, with the establishment of the Boston campus in 1964 and the medical school in Worcester in 1962.
The Lederle Papers include professional correspondence, administrative records, subject files, committee notes, reports, and clippings; Extra-University records that document Lederle's involvement and interactions with governmental and non-governmental organizations at the state, regional, and national levels; personal correspondence, speeches, bibliographies of his writings, biographical information, a transcript of an oral history describing his administration, and materials relating to his professional activities that followed his presidency; and a series of confidential records.

Michalak in for Sharks - Frederic Michalak has been named on the Sharks' bench for their clash with the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.
The Frenchman returns for his second stint with the Durban franchise after helping them win the 2008 Currie Cup. He plays off the wood and will primarily cover scrumhalf, although he will play flyhalf if needed.
In other changes, Charl McLeod starts at No 9 in place of the injured Conrad Hoffmann. In the forwards, lock Gerhard Mostert replaces Alistair Hargreaves, who drops to the bench. There is also a boost for the Sharks with the return of Ryan Kankowski, who starts at No 8 in a back row of Willem Alberts and Keegan Daniel.
Adi Jacobs also makes a comeback from injury and takes Riaan Swanepoel's place in the reserves.
Sharks - 15. Louis Ludik, 14. JP Pietersen, 13. Stefan Terblanche , 12. Meyer Bosman, 11. Lwazi Mvovo, 10. Patrick Lambie, 9. Charl McLeod, 8. Ryan Kankowski, 7. Willem Alberts, 6. Keegan Daniel, 5. Gerhard Mostert, 4. Steven Sykes, 3. Eugene van Staden, 2. Bismarck du Plessis, 1. John Smit (c).
Subs: 16. Tendai Mtawarira, 17. Wiehahn Herbst, 18. Alistair Hargreaves, 19. Jacques Botes, 20. Frederic Michalak
21. Jacques-Louis Potgieter, 22. Adrian Jacobs
Sharks may call on Jouba – Former Springbok centre Marius Joubert's contract with the Sharks only starts in July, but further injuries to the Sharks' midfield may see him featuring in the back-end of the Super Rugby campaign.
The Sharks will allow Joubert, who is returning to South Africa after a stint in Clermont, to settle before discussing the matter with him. Coach John Plumtree has admitted that if the Sharks lose another centre, they could be in trouble.
If the Sharks' midfield remains injury free, Joubert will start his Sharks' career in the Currie Cup as planned.
Lions to fight Rhodes ban – The Lions plan to appeal Michael Rhodes's six-week suspension with John Mitchell citing inconsistencies in the disciplinary system.
Rhodes was banned for grabbing Highlanders wing Siale Piutau by the head at a ruck. Lions coach John Mitchell pointed out that Jean Deysel was suspended for two weeks for a similar offence against the Waratahs.
Mitchell says that Rhodes's actions were unintentional and wants the sentence reduced. As it stands, Rhodes will not play again until 31 July.

'Nightline's' Koppel to join Discovery Channel
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Veteran journalist Ted Koppel, who
built ABC's "Nightline" into an American institution over 25
years, will join the Discovery Channel to make news
documentaries, the channel said on Wednesday.
Discovery Communications said Koppel, 65, would be managing
editor at the channel and would be joined by longtime executive
producer Tom Bettag and eight other former "Nightline" staff.
Koppel's departure from "Nightline" in November after 42
years with ABC News was part of a generational shift in U.S.
television news. NBC's Tom Brokaw stepped down in December
2004, followed soon after by Dan Rather of CBS. The third major
network news anchorman, Peter Jennings of ABC, died of cancer
in August.
With network news under pressure from the Internet and
24-hour cable stations, the networks have been changing faces
and formats to keep viewers. "Nightline" has been relaunched
with three anchors covering several topics each night.
In his final broadcast on "Nightline," Koppel asked viewers
to give his successors a chance, warning that otherwise the
network "will just put another comedy show in this time slot."
More than three years ago, the revelation that ABC had
quietly sought to recruit comedian David Letterman to host a
new talk show to replace "Nightline" sparked a furor.
Billy Campbell, president of Discovery Networks US, said in
a statement Koppel and his team would bring "insight,
perspective and analysis beyond just the headlines."
"Our objective is to create a more substantial approach to
in-depth journalism," he said.
Koppel said he was excited to be going to a channel "that
wants nothing more than to produce the kind of television
journalism that focuses on issues that matter to the largest
number of people."
Discovery said Koppel had signed a multiyear deal and his
first program was scheduled to air in fall 2006.

Perfecting slip-and-fall litigation: by selecting a strong case, hiring the right experts, and allocating fault appropriately, you can obtain justice for injured plaintiffs.
Jurors have been receptive to slip-and-fall cases where the injuries are serious and the liability has Been clearly established by reliable, credible experts. Appropriate screening criteria will help you identify clients who have extensive, permanent injuries--not just connective-tissue injuries. (It is often difficult to convince jurors that a plaintiff with a connective-tissue injury is severely hurt.)
Well-selected cases involve issues of corporate responsibility, which jurors can readily understand, having experienced many business-premises hazards as consumers. With the right facts and presentation, jurors may embrace the plaintiff's corporate-responsibility argument and award appropriate damages for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent impairment.
Most slip-and-fall cases involve one of the following safety hazards:
* Defect on business premises. Examples include merchandise that has been stacked too high or left on the floor by employees, flooring defects, and improperly attached safety bars in showers.
* Dangerous condition or process. Examples include food spilled on the floor around a self-serve salad bar, liquid leaking from a machine, misplaced floor mats, and an unfenced pool.
* Failure to properly maintain an otherwise safe property, leading to dangerous conditions. Examples include loose handrails and wooden stairs that need to be replaced.
Ask the following questions as you consider whether to accept a slip-and-fall case.
Did the defendant cause or create the defect or dangerous condition? This may sound simple, but clients often do not know what made them fall. The plaintiff must know or must have a witness who can identify the defect or danger. If the potential client does not know why he or she fell, reject the case.
If the defendant did not create the defect or danger, or if the defect or danger is not a common occurrence--a spill on a floor versus a condition that the defendant would probably not notice--avoid the case, because it would be based only on the theory of constructive notice. You should still try to prove constructive notice even when it is clear that the defendant created the hazard, but generally do not accept cases based on that theory alone. Seek to prove both the cause of the defect and constructive notice of it.
Did the plaintiff suffer serious injuries? If you take cases involving only serious injuries, you can avoid many jurors' perception that slip-and-fall injuries are minor and that the plaintiffs deserve less compensation than plaintiffs in other cases.
For every potential case, use a two-step approach. First, determine whether the injuries are serious enough to hold jurors' attention and evoke their sympathy. If so, you will probably be able to maintain the jury's attention while you tackle the second step--proving liability. If the injuries are not severe, jurors may not consider the fault issues seriously or fairly, as some of them may be biased against both connective-tissue injuries and premises cases.
Was the injury immediately reported to the defendant's management? If not, issues arise that could be fatal to the plaintiff's case: His or her credibility may be called into question, and you may lose the opportunity to develop certain evidence against a defendant.
For example, how many times have you seen an incident report that documented an employee's verbal admission that the hazard existed at the time of the client's fall? If the plaintiff fails to report the slip and fall at the same time, the potential to use these "excited utterances" to the plaintiffs advantage is lost. An employee may be genuinely affected when the injury happens and may not have time to reflect coolly or be silenced by his or her employer.
Is the defendant a corporation or other business entity? Avoid cases against individuals, like homeowners. Most jurors can identify with a homeowner, and many reasonable duties of a business owner do not apply to an individual.
Corporations, however, spend significant sums on maintenance and safety, and jurors hold businesses to a higher standard of care. Corporate policies and practices often set the standard of care for a business owner. But jurors will remain sympathetic to a homeowner-defendant who ignores maintenance.
Has the potential client clearly explained the defect or danger? If not, you will have trouble explaining it to the jury. Consider asking an expert to explain the defect or danger. If he or she has difficulty simplifying it, reject the case. Jurors must be able to instantly and easily grasp the liability aspect or the case is a loser. This is not to say that experts don't play an important role in handling premises liability cases. Their role is explained below.
Call in the experts
Although many slip-and-fall cases involve safety hazards that can be proven with testimony from lay witnesses or the defendant's employees and management, it is wise to hire an expert witness who can analyze liability issues. The fields of potential expert witnesses range from engineering to aquatic safety to retail merchandising.
Why should you hire an expert? He or she can analyze the defect and danger, determine the applicability of government codes and regulations, and help establish the duty of a reasonable business owner. The liability issues in these cases may be difficult, and the defense is certain to file a motion for summary judgment with supporting affidavits from the defendant's employees. If you have no expert and leave these issues to a judge, you run a substantial risk that your client's case will be dismissed. State law books are full of such cases. (1)
An expert's analysis and, if necessary, an affidavit establishing the defendant's duty and breach of that duty may help you overcome a motion to dismiss. Without an expert, you have only your client's affidavit and the hope that the trial judge will let a jury hear the case. Don't hope. Hire the expert.
Without experts, you must rely on discovery of facts and information that are usually within the sole control of the defendant. Employees are often encouraged to say that they had no notice of a dangerous condition, which helps their employers avoid liability. Further, many corporate defendants in premises liability cases stonewall in discovery to keep critical information out of plaintiffs' hands. (2)
An expert can also help you deflect the comparative-fault defense. If a danger is such that the defendant knew or should have known about it, defense counsel may argue that it was an open and obvious defect and that any reasonable consumer would have noticed and avoided it.
An expert can help you establish patterns of consumer behavior that business owners foresee--or should. For instance, a retail expert can explain that stores display the most profitable merchandise at eye level because shoppers are drawn to items displayed there and pay less attention to floor-level items.
Why do warehouse retailers stack merchandise so high when they know that customers generally do not ask for help reaching items? Why do retail employees check store aisles every 15 minutes? They know that items may fall on the floor and that customers may trip over or slip on them. What percentage of customers will spill food at a self-service food bar? Does a building meet safety and building codes?
The answers can help you explain why the defect was not so obvious and how it was created by the business owner.
An expert witness proved indispensable, for example, in a case our firm handled. A 54-year-old woman had tripped at a restaurant while walking to the restroom. She hit her head and suffered a detached retina, eventually losing 99 percent of the vision in her dominant eye.
Investigation revealed that the restaurant had been flooded two years earlier and that three floor tiles had been damaged. The tiles were removed but not replaced, leaving a rise in the floor of less than half an inch. The restaurant management had placed a mat over the missing tiles (preventing customers from noticing the change in elevation) and placed a sign warning "Watch Your Step" in the general area.
Discovery of information from restaurant employees showed that other customers and restaurant workers had stumbled in the area, but none had fallen. Was this evidence sufficient to establish liability? Rather than rely on this testimony, we hired a safety engineer who examined the site, photographed and videotaped it, and evaluated applicable building codes. He also prepared a computer-generated animation of our client's trip, stumble, and fall.
The engineer kept his analysis simple. He determined that there was a tripping hazard at the restaurant the day our client had been injured, and that reasonable restaurant management should have been aware of it. The expert said the missing tiles caused the plaintiff to fall, the flooring defect violated building codes, and the warning sign was misplaced and insufficient.
Replacing the tiles would have cost only $10, he testified, adding that he had often consulted with major restaurant corporations and that this type of hazard had to be repaired immediately to prevent major, foreseeable injuries to consumers. The analysis appeared straightforward and irrefutable.
The defendant hired its own expert, who concluded that missing tiles did not violate any codes and that the mat had corrected any flooring defect. He also testified that the restaurant management did not need to replace the missing tiles because a sign warning "Watch Your Step" was sufficient. The plaintiff, he said, fell because she had dragged her feet while walking.
The jury concluded that the plaintiff was 10 percent at fault and the defendant, 90 percent. (3)
Though we might have prevailed without an expert, the safety engineer's analysis gave the jury a solid basis for concluding that the defendant had breached its duty of reasonable care and had known of the condition long enough to have corrected it. Without that testimony, the jury would have heard only our legal arguments--and the testimony would have added weight to the verdict if the defense had filed an appeal.
Be aware that some trial judges can be hesitant to let experts testify about premises liability issues they feel the jury can understand and evaluate themselves. Judges must be persuaded that experts are necessary because duty and breach of duty can no longer be determined by the "reasonable person" standard that many trial judges have applied in the past. (4) Maintaining property and keeping customers safe involves government regulations and codes, engineering principles, and safety factors beyond the knowledge of most laypeople.
Placing the blame
Typically, the defendant is the best party to prevent a customer from slipping and falling on its premises. Still, the defense that a plaintiff's comparative fault was the legal cause can be effective. Commenting on this defense in a case involving a hazardous sidewalk, a Tennessee court held that "there is a certain amount of care that the Good Lord intended for all of us to take in regard to where we plant our feet, for the world is not flat." (5)
It is possible to overcome the comparative-fault defense. For example, in Kingsul Theatres, Inc. v. Quillen, plaintiff counsel presented the theories of "momentary forgetfulness" and "momentary distraction" to argue that the plaintiff's fault had not caused the fall. The plaintiff successfully argued that she had been momentarily distracted when she turned to look for her daughter. She fell over a six-inch step that she had seen earlier. (6)
In some jurisdictions, courts and juries are required to balance the foreseeability and gravity of harm--even if the danger is open and obvious--against the defendant's burden, to remedy the harm. (7) The Tennessee Supreme Court held that the risk of harm from a deviation in a sidewalk was unreasonable despite its being open and obvious. The court noted that the defendant had actual knowledge of the deviation and that corrective action was available but that it took no steps to warn of the danger. Before courts accepted this balancing test, the plaintiff's fault barred recovery if the danger was open and obvious. Some jurisdictions still follow this rule. (8)
The plaintiff's experts must be able to address, from a business standpoint, defenses asserting the openness and obviousness of a hazard and the plaintiffs duty to look where he or she is walking. For example, as noted above, an expert can tell the jury why a store displays merchandise at eye level and how that prevents customers from seeing floor-level dangers.
Without that testimony, these commonsense defense arguments are effective before a judge and jury. Business owners spend millions of dollars on advertising. Often, those ads encourage consumers to visit the premises, and there are few warnings that the consumer should anticipate or expect dangers.
Consumers injured on business property need representation. By applying strong screening criteria, using qualified experts, and preparing to meet the comparative-fault defense, you can hold businesses accountable for failing to provide safe premises.

BUSINESS TODAY: Lufthansa sets record; in association with RBS TRAVEL.
German airline Lufthansa said 2007 proved to be a record breaking year setting a airline record for passengers carried to and from the North East.
The 2007 figure of 20,472 is up almost 24 % on 2006 and comes within two months of the airline introducing a twice daily service to Dusseldorf. The figures show the growth of Lufthansa's passenger numbers at Newcastle is more than four times the airline's average increase for the year.
Marianne Sammann, Lufthansa's general manager UK & Ireland, said: "There is no doubt that the introduction of our second daily service to Dusseldorf is a major factor in the record figures."

+ 1 for credits
I don't know. I'm trying to be constructive here. But who'd want to deposit $120 just to receive $3 credit? It seems a bit far fetched.
I suppose people who were going to deposit $120 either way. But yeah, I see your point, the $3 isn't going to make a difference to the people who deposit $120..
On the other hand, it could be the psychological factor behind it all: it seems like you're getting free money. The thought of free money motivates people to no limit
I don't know. I'm trying to be constructive here. But who'd want to deposit $120 just to receive $3 credit? It seems a bit far fetched.
if you deposit 40$ you will get 125 credits
So 125creditx X 2 = 150
or if you deposit 100 dollar you will get 500 Credit…
Aw_Shucks : No one telling that buyer will and wanna deposit 100 dollar for getting 5 dollar free…
Thats not the point but there is costumers that already buyed stuff for more then 200 dollars
so another 10 Dollar free product will make them happy…
If you deposit 20 dollars and next month again 20; and 30 and 40 , and again 20 Would you like to see that in some point you can have some product for free just becouse you buy stuff and earn credits for that…
Can this make you happy ?
Wouldnt it be better to have a % (percentage) added than getting credits bonus.
In my opinion credits are a little confusing i prefer talking about real money its easier to calculate and powerful to the buyers mind.

Indian Day (Brazil)
|Indian Day
|Official name
|Brazilian Indian Day
Dia Nacional do Índio
|Observed by
|Native Brazilians
|festivities centered in Indigenous reservations
|April 19
|Next time
|19 April 2016
|Related to
|Indigenous people of Brazil (known as índios)
Indian Day (also known as Native Day; in Portuguese known as Dia do Índio), was created by the President Getúlio Vargas by a decree law in 1943, and recalls the day (April 19) in 1940, in which several indigenous leaderships of the Americas decided to attend the First Inter-American Indian Congress, held in Mexico.[1]
Nowadays most part of the cities does not celebrate the date, however it is very common for schoolchildren across Brazil to dress up like Natives and visit Museums to learn more about the first Brazilians.[2] It is common to see celebrations in states with a relatively large indigenous population, such as Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará, Goiás, Rondônia and Amazonas.
The National Indian Festival is held yearly in Bertioga, São Paulo to celebrate the Indian Day. It is considered the largest indigenous cultural event in the world, which takes place in April 19.
The festival is seen as an opportunity to learn about Brazilian indigenous peoples, since traveling to most tribal areas and reservations in Brazil is restricted and must be authorized by FUNAI, the National Indian Foundation. It is also seen as an opportunity for Native Brazilians to perform celebrations, such as indigenous rituals, body art, music, dance, food, crafts and sports.[3]

No vegans were harmed
Q: I joined the Co-op this year and have enjoyed the food, the classes, and the community building that you do. I also enjoy the newsletter, and had quite a laugh when I read the title of this recipe in "Creative Recipes for Getting More Vegetables in Your Diet," on page 20: "Creamy Broccoli Soup: Vegan and Gluten-Free"
It's such a relief to know that no vegans were harmed in the making of this soup! Cannibalism would have put a bit of a dent in your reputation.
You obviously put a lot of work into the creation of the newsletter, and have much to be proud of. I'm glad that one missing comma slipped past your many keen eyes. Thanks for all you do!
A: I love it. Thanks for pointing this out. I could argue that since there wasn't a dash after the "vegan," it might be okay, but I'm not sure. I prefer to think of it as vegan-free. It reminds me of this magazine cover: www.happyplace.com/3500/eat-ray-love-magazine-cover-rachael-ray-tails-magazine. Thanks for the kind words and the laugh! –Liz Wermcrantz, Reader Editor
TP troubles
Q: You stopped carrying the Response toilet paper that usually cost 79¢ per roll. This is a good quality single-ply tp that lasts a long time. Instead you are carrying the treeless double ply tp that is soft. We found that this tp rips easily and is difficult to unwind.
A: Thank you for your comment. I apologize for the inconvenience with the current ESP toilet paper. We had decided to find an alternative to the Response brand because the price had jumped up so high, to $1.29 a roll I believe. I will pass your comment on to our Purchasing Manager and see if there are any other affordable alternatives. Thank you again for your comment. –Patrick Humiston, Grocery Manager–East
Kudos to Jim Green
Q: Just wanted to mention that Jim Green in the bulk aisle was extremely helpful and accommodating! He is, I would think, a valued employee. I will be buying all my spices here (and other things) because of him.
A: Thank you for writing. I am glad to hear you received some excellent customer service from Jim. He's very valued and, as you can attest, knowledgeable staff member. Thanks again for writing and I hope all of your interactions with all of our staff are as productive and enjoyable as this was. –Patrick Humiston, Grocery Manager–East
Stonegound cornmeal
Q: Hooray for the new stoneground cornmeal—wonderful, local, green—we love it! Unfortunately it doesn't work for all recipes and it's hard on people with teeth problems. How about stocking the previous brand also—cheaper too—alongside the stoneground? So those members don't have to go to the multinationals. Thank you.
A: Thank you for your comment. I'm glad that you like the new Lonesome Stone cornmeal. We have just added a new local blue variety that I would recommend trying. It is much more finely ground and has a delicious taste. That said, we'll keep in mind bringing back our old variety if neither of these prove popular. Thank you again for your comment. –Patrick Humiston, Grocery Manager–East
Gender-neutral bathrooms
Q: I love you but I wish you could turn your restrooms in two single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms. As a trans member it would make using your restrooms a lot less stressful of an experience. Gender-segregated bathrooms are tricky things from gender-non-conforming folks and it would be so rad if your restrooms were gender-neutral!
A: I like and appreciate the idea of making both bathrooms gender neutral. However, because the men's room has two stalls, we do not feel we could make it gender neutral and because the women's room often has lines, I am reticent to encourage men to use it too. We hope to be planning significant renovations to East over the coming year. I will make sure this change is on the wish list. –Dan Frost, Store Manager–East
Kudos to Ian
Q: Ian was very helpful. He was summoned in coffee, took me to medicinal teas and answered all my questions. Efficient, cheerful and covered the points I, a middle-aged woman, needed to know. Thanks, Ian!
A: Thank you for your comment. I am very glad to hear how helpful Ian was. He is one of our newer staff members but he is obviously doing well with his customer service. Thanks again for writing and I hope all of our staff are as productive and enjoyable. –Patrick Humiston, Grocery Manager–East
Broken seals
Q: The freezer doors for the seafood and bagels all had broken seals. There was condensation on the inside of the glass door and outside of the door. This will affect energy use. Just an observation.
A: Thanks for the reminder. The condition of the seals is on our radar and replacement is the solution we have planned as a project for this summer. -Wynston Estis, Operations Manager
Food Chain Workers
Q: The "Food Chain Workers: From Fields to Fairness" article by Dawn Matlak provides an important outline of steps towards worker justice in the food industry. But, ironically, it addresses the issues too much from the top-down. By the end of the article, a reader might find reference to the important work of Madison's own Worker Justice Center. But even there, readers never learn about all kinds of direct, hands-on action they can participate in—immediately! Through the Interfaith Coalition for Worker Justice, you can also sign on to press these justice issues through the faith community. Don't just visit the web pages—you can call both organizations at the same number, 608-255-0376, and get involved right now. (And next time, editors, write this kind of story from the grassroots-up!)
A: Thanks for your feedback about the article I wrote for July's newsletter. I am super interested in what kind of information you can provide to connect folks to the local efforts of the Worker Justice Center. Admittedly, I wrote the article from a "big picture" perspective, with a lot less focus on local efforts. My intention was to create broader awareness of the larger issues of human rights within the food system, but I never intended this to be comprehensive or final words on this subject.
Rather, I hoped it would open up the potential for people to get interested and involved in local efforts to support food workers, while including worker justice in our definitions of "sustainability." Within my role as a Co-op employee, I intend to write more about this subject (and other local food justice efforts) in the future, as well as facilitate classes about this. I hope you will consider bringing your knowledge and experience to one of the upcoming "Human Rights from Field to Fork" classes at Willy East and West.
I also want to acknowledge that I am both a small vegetable farmer and a grocery store employee, and have worked in the food service industry for over 15 years. My personal perspective is very specifically as a white, working class food system worker and grassroots food justice activist. I am privileged to work in the U.S., and be employed by a successful cooperative business, so I can understand that there is quite a difference between my experiences and those of many, many others within the food system. I truly appreciate your critique of the article, and personally look forward to supporting the ongoing work of the Interfaith Coalition for Worker Justice. Thanks again, Dawn Matlak, Newsletter Writer & Cooperative Services Assistant–West

SALEM -- Kurt Schrader fought back a campaign that tried to make him out to be a Obama-Pelosi clone and he defeated Republican Scott Bruun for the U.S. House District 5 race.
Bruun conceded Wednesday morning and phoned his congratulations to Schrader.
This morning, I spoke with Congressman Kurt Schrader to congratulate him on a hard-fought race and to offer my concession, Bruun said. He has invested as much time and energy into this race as I have, and I have full faith that he will return to Washington, DC with a renewed perspective and will be ready to work for the people of our great state.
Election Results:Oregon - House District 5
Video: Schrader on KGW's 'Straight Talk'
Video: Bruun on KGW's 'Straight Talk'
Schrader voted along with Democrats to move President Barack Obama's health care and financial reforms forward. Yet Schrader was endorsed by the National Rifle Association in his bid to beat Republican challenger Scott Bruun.
Which explains why Bruun, who espouses himself as the classic Republican candidate, suggested in their KGW debate that one way he would break that conservative mold is to embrace an Oregon environmental ethic if elected.
Debate video and talking points
Theirs was a classic race that played nationwide.
The advantage of incumbency brought Joe Biden to the district last summer to campaign for Schrader. The disadvantage of incumbency had Schrader no where near Portland International Airport in the October in the receiving line for Obama.
District 5 stretches across all political lines, from the coast through state worker union rich Salem, to more conservative Clackamas County.
