Potential for working class unity in new mass party
Saftu and the Working Class Summit must seize the opportunity!
This article appears as the editorial of the new issue of Izwi Labasebenzi (Issue No. 2 of 2018).
Not since the advent of democracy has the crisis of capitalism and its political parties revealed itself as starkly as it is now. Despite the ANC government's measures, directed by domestic and international capital, matters are only getting worse. The claims of the stimulus package with no new money and more austerity, the pitiful investment pledges and the job summit promises are all contradicted by reality. Ramaphosa's budget in effect tipped the economy into recession. Unemployment is now at historic levels edging towards ten million. The bosses are not making any plans to invest or create jobs. Economic growth projections are repeatedly being revised downwards.
The crises in all the major parties – the ANC, DA and increasingly the EFF – are rooted in the reality that capitalism is in a dead end. It must be overthrown. Only the working class has the interest and the capacity to abolish capitalism and lead society towards socialism.
The economic and political crisis underlines the importance of the declarations of the Working Class Summit (WCS) that Saftu convened in July which were endorsed by the federation's October Central Committee. The summit of 147 working class organisations (see WASP website) adopted a declaration that "a clear majority agreed on a need to build an independent, democratic and revolutionary working-class political party…". It further agreed that this party must stand for working class power and socialism.
The Saftu Central Committee "…agreed in principle that creation of the working class party is of critical importance…" It emphasised "…that in the current capitalist crises, the only way forward is through building a Workers Party." We agree and welcome this statement. It reaffirms the necessity for the working class to decisively enter the political battlefield.
Until now, the working class has reacted to the growing economic and political crisis by mass protests on the ground and mass abstention, or tactical voting to punish the ANC, on the political plane. Now, for the first time in the democratic era, the working class has the opportunity to unite its struggles on the ground – in the workplaces, the communities and on the education campuses – and to enter the struggle on the political plane, united, with its own platform and programme of action.
Of crucial importance is Saftu's and the WCS's recognition that the primary task is to unite the working class. The creation of a workers party belongs to the entire working class and cannot be the exclusive property of just one section of it. The Summit represented the first steps in assembling the forces capable of uniting the working class in its hundreds of thousands. This is enough to begin.
Party of struggle
Any new party must first and foremost be a party of struggle. The working class is already moving. Workplace strikes and community protests are at record high levels. A new party must connect with these struggles and help to unite them. Both the WCS and Saftu declarations recognise this. It must be this side that is given the overwhelming emphasis in building the new party.
Implicit in the WCS declaration is a recognition of the necessity for a federal structure – one that allows existing working class organisations to affiliate whilst maintaining their own identity, including revolutionary political parties and community organisations. This can allow open and democratic discussions and debates of different working class and revolutionary ideologies. WASP will put forward our views about what the creation of socialism will require and others must do the same.
Federalism does not have to be a 'once and forever' principle. But we believe it is a necessary starting point to assure the already existing different political and ideological groupings and community organisations that they are equal participants in a process to create something new together.
Ultimately, it will be the new party's experience of struggle that will do most to clarify ideas. The new party must be armed with a programme of action on wages, job creation, service delivery and housing, healthcare and education if it is to connect with the mass of working class people.
2019 elections
We believe it is possible to use the upcoming 2019 elections to build momentum for the new party. It does not need to be a 'finished product' beforehand. An election campaign can be an act in the creation of the party. Saftu and the WCS organisations are capable of creating an inclusive and democratic process for this. Even a handful of MPs clearly proclaiming for socialism and working class power could electrify the working class. The platform could be used to convene the founding congress of the party with an appeal to every workplace and working class community to send delegates.
Saftu's follow-up strike demanding a R12,500 minimum wage and against the attacks on the right to strike is planned for the first quarter of 2019 – ahead of the elections must place the creation of a workers party at the centre of that struggle.

Barack Obama won't stop emailing me. Since the beginning of September I've had five emails from the great man himself, two from Marlon Marshall, who is Deputy National Field Director of the Obama for America campaign and another one (my favourite) from Bill Clinton.
These men are all (God help their wit) after my money.
"Lindy, I can't do this on my own," says Barack in one of his messages. (I feel we are now firmly on first name terms) "Before tonight's fundraising deadline, I'm asking for your help."
How I got on the presidential mailing list was as follows. Back in August (as I mentioned in this column at the time) I attended a campaign rally addressed by First Lady, Michelle Obama. The event was aimed at galvanising party workers ("All fired up and ready to go!" I can still hear the chanting.)
To qualify for tickets we were asked to fill in a form recording basic details such as home address, cell phone number (mobile to you and me) and of course, email.
Hence those begging missives.
I'd like to flatter myself that Barack has singled me out personally. But since he mentions in his last email that he's already had 10m grassroots donations in one election year I'm assuming that his round-robin plea goes out to a much, much wider audience than the pally, personalised format would suggest.
But it's so cleverly, cleverly done.
"I hope you'll pay attention, Lindy," the email from Bill Clinton begins. It's an email from Bill Clinton, Bill. Of course I'm going to pay attention. Marlon (whoever he is) invites me to host a "watch party" (whatever that is. I'm assuming not Rolex.)
The bash is to be held during tonight's US television debate between Obama and Romney. "All you need," Marlon tells me, "is a comfy space and TV." He will supply me, he assures me, with flyers, sign-in sheets and "special training for hosts."
Trust me, Marlon. I know a bit about hosting parties already.
Barack meanwhile, tells me "I'm saving a seat for Lindy" at a dinner where "I want to meet you. I want to thank you in person. And I'd love to hear what's on your mind." This tantalising dinner invitation is not sadly, entirely straightforward. (The man's a politician, let's not forget.) If I contribute at least $25 to campaign coffers I will merely be in a draw for that seat he's saving for me and several million other potential guests.
Oh, and "the promotion is open only to US citizens or lawful permanent US residents." There goes my chance of cheeseburger with the most powerful man in the world. Still. It's all a fascinating insight into the American way of politics. Or the American way of political fundraising.
Are politicians here as adept at the personalised mass appeal? Not being a subscriber/supporter of any local party I have no idea.
Would it be perhaps, a bit disconcerting to receive an email from say, Peter Robinson that begins with the words: "Lindy, I can't do this on my own"?
Or one from Martin McGuinness commencing: "I hope you'll pay attention, Lindy"?
Of course it costs money to send out this sort of sophisticated personalised missive. Pity then, you might think, the smaller parties like, for example, the UUP - once a flourishing "broad church" but these days down to one pew as Kim Jung Nesbitt scythes out dissenting voices.
On the plus side, the way the UUP is going they won't need to worry about mass mail shots.
A personalised message from a party leader is indeed impressive. But not when you suspect there are increasingly so few he may soon be able to write to party members. Individually.

A better way to auto-run T4MVC when you build
Update: also see the newer post on this topic
T4MVC has always struggled with finding the right way of running automatically when you build. Being a T4 template in your project, by default it just runs when you save it. This is not great, because you really want it to rerun whenever you make a change that affects it: e.g. new controller action, new static file, …
So I had come up with a pretty crazy workaround (the AlwaysKeepTemplateDirty flag), described in details in this previous post (under "The T4 file automatically runs whenever you build"). It's a pretty hacky technique, which mostly works but has some nasty quirks:
- You need to open and save it once to start the save 'cycle'
- You need to leave it open
- It's always marked as dirty, which is an annoyance. The little 'dirty star' is always there, and when you close the project you're always prompted if you want to save it, even though you didn't change it.
Recently, Danish developer Joachim Lykke Andersen asked a question about this on StackOverflow, and then proceeded to find a pretty nice solution to it himself, which he has now blogged. His solution relies on handling the VS OnBuildBegin event. So basically, you just do a one time step, and then you don't need to worry about it. I won't repeat all the details here, so get them on his post.
He also discusses the possibility off turning this into an Addin, which would be yet cooler. And maybe with some convincing he will, so add a comment to his post :)
POLL: should we kill the AlwaysKeepTemplateDirty flag?
Given that this is a cleaner solution to this issue, I'm thinking of removing the AlwaysKeepTemplateDirty logic. At the very least, I could turn it off by default in the T4MVC.settings.t4 (currently it's on by default). But in the end, it's a hack and I wouldn't mind getting rid of it altogether.
Would anyone object to this, or have concerns about this new approach? Just let me know in the comments…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The financially ailing Postal Service is seeking a 3-cent increase in the cost of mailing a letter — and that would raise the price of a first-class stamp to 49 cents.
The chairman of the postal Board of Governors, Mickey Barnett, cites the "precarious financial condition" of the agency and the uncertain prospects for postal overhaul legislation in Congress.
The agency expects to lose $6 billion this year.
Wednesday's request for the increase in stamp prices must be approved by the independent Postal Regulatory Commission.
The Postal Service said it would ask for adjustment to bulk mail rates in a filing with the commission Thursday. No details were immediately provided.
Media and marketing businesses say a big increase in rates could hurt them and lower postal volume and revenues.

Thanksgiving is upon us – but perhaps you're having trouble being thankful year-round? Here are some great things to focus on to help you maintain a mindset of gratitude no matter what time of year it is:
You Have Job Skills
Everyone brings something to the table. Know your value, and see the value in those around you. For example, sales, marketing, and finance departments don't always see eye to eye, but they all need each other like a desert needs water.
Look around: You probably have some excellent coworkers. When it comes to the not-so-excellent ones, think of one thing about each one of them that is outstanding and brings something to the equation (even if it is just his great cowboy boot collection!).
If You Have a Job, You Have Customers
There are never enough of them, but you do have some customers, and some – if not all –bring you meaningful work to dig in to. That's what every human craves!
You Have a Boss
Yes, some days, you secretly think the boss is a ding-dong idiot. Other days, they are the great driving force of your favorite project. Sometimes, the boss is a mix of the two.
In reality, many days, your boss is the buffer between you and someone higher up. This can be a frustrating thing, but also a great, great thing. Put yourself in your boss's shoes. Learn from their good qualities. Understand what drives them to succeed on their toughest days.
You Have Family, and Laughter
Not all of these are consistent (especially family, and especially at the holidays.) Your crazy family, and the ability to smile at beauty – and to laugh at absurdity – will heighten your enjoyment throughout the holiday season!
We Do Live in a Land of Opportunity
It is a truism that opportunity in employment is not consistently and fully there for all of us (women, people of color, older workers.) However, we do all have more opportunity in this country than in some other places on the globe. We live in a place and time of the "great experiment" – so let's all work to better the odds. Some things work very well, and some things we have to improve upon together. Understanding, reaching out, celebrating what makes us each unique – this employment of our time will prove to be meaningful work for all of us!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

IT'S early in the season to be hitting a crossroads but you get the feeling Walsall are at one after this stunning defeat.
The Saddlers were left shell-shocked after, for the second Saturday running, they took total control of a match then ended up with nothing.
But this was more worrying than last week's 2-1 defeat at Yeovil. That was down to a brief loss of concentration - this stemmed from an evidently crippling lack of self-belief.
Lack of concentration played a part, for sure, as the Saddlers careered from 2-0 up to 3-2 down in 22 minutes.
But it's that belief which needs urgent attention.
If you're going to build any sort of promotion bid, you've got to believe you can. Here, the Saddlers seemed almost ashamed to be in front.
Goals from Jorge Leitao and Mark Wright put them two up at half-time. That was flattering but they created two chances with slick moves and converted them with precision.
At the other end, meanwhile, they offered decent protection to debutant goalkeeper Rene Gilmartin, given a surprise debut when Andy Oakes damaged hand ligaments in the pre-match warm-up. Good enough.
But then on came big Wayne Allison and former Wolves striker Colin Larkin for Chesterfield. And the Saddlers duly collapsed almost as feebly as in the 5-2 rout by Swansea three weeks earlier.
Three times, goals were shipped from routine crosses. Mark Allott had space and time galore to head the first then reacted quickest to equalise when Steve Blatherwick won a knock-down. It surprised nobody when the comeback was completed by Allison netting a looping header as yet another centre was allowed into the danger area.
You could only feel sorry for the blameless Gilmartin. It was in front of him that serious questions need to be asked about the concentration, the marking, the closing down, the decision-making and the desire.
But most of all the mental strength. It's four years since Walsall finished in the top half of a table - do they no longer feel comfortable there?
WALSALL (4-4-2): Gilmartin 6; Pead 6, Gerrard 5, Westwood 5, FOX 7; Standing 5 (Merson 58, 6), P Smith 6, Osborn 6, Wright 5 (Taylor, 85); Leitao 6, Fryatt 6 (Husbands, 75). Subs: Kinsella, Staunton. CHESTERFIELD (4-5-1): Roche; Nicholson, Blatherwick, Hazell, Davies; Hall, Niven, Allott (Larkin, ht), Hurst (A Smith, 75), Clingan (Allison, ht); Folan. Subs: Muggleton, O'Hare. Referee: T Bates (Staffordshire).

eharmony vs. EliteSingles In-Depth Comparison
How to Choose the Best Dating Site
More and more people are singing up for online dating sites. Whether it's a product of technology, or our changing lifestyles, the numbers show that online dating simply works. And while many people believe that online dating is only for those singles looking to put a ring on it, there are actually all different kinds of dating sites that cater to all different kinds of singles with all different kinds of goals. Whatever your situation, online dating can be a great solution. However, it's always important to engage in some self-evaluation and some online research to find the best dating site for you.
Long-Term or Casual?
The first important step is deciding on your dating goals. Begin by asking yourself some probing questions. Are you looking for a serious relationship that might lead to marriage, or are you hoping for something a bit more casual? Maybe you're hoping to use the site to build a network of new friends as well. Decide on what your dating goals are and you're off to a great start.
Meeting Your Match
Once you've settled on the type of relationship you're looking for, it's time to start thinking about the kind of person you want to meet. Are you searching for a blond, tall, shy but fun-loving bookworm, or do you prefer dark, gregarious outdoorsy types?
Many dating sites provide singles with the opportunity to search for others who share similar interests, cultural backgrounds or ethnicities. Zero-in on the type you're looking for and you'll be on your way to finding the best dating site for you. Some of the most popular "niche" dating site are Christian dating sites, geared towards those who know that they want to date within their own faith. However, there are online dating sites for almost every type. There are even sites geared towards people with pets and people who are into health and fitness.
Of course, if you don't have that dream-person in mind, consider signing up for a dating site that does the matchmaking for you based on compatibility and personality.
Compatible Community
Many forget that online dating sites are really online communities. Today, many dating sites encourage members to interact as much as possible whether this be through forums, blogs, chat, or im. These multi-media interactive tools help build a community feel where members can feel like they are part of a group.
Consider what kind of singles group you want to be a part of, if any at all. Are you looking for something intimate or impersonal? Do you want to find friends and engage in group chats, or do you prefer one-on-one interaction? Those who prefer communicating on an individual level may prefer matchmaking sites where the search is limited, and members aren't as easy to search for. Those looking for a real community may prefer a niche dating site with plenty of search and communication tools. In fact, many niche sites specifically foster this sense of community, including senior dating sites, single parent dating sites and dating sites for local singles.
Do Your Homework:
Now that you've narrowed down the type of relationship, match and community you're looking for, it's time to do some research. Read some reviews and customer testimonials. Ask friends and family for recommendations. You may even want to consider signing up for free (most sites offer free registration) to get a general feel of the site before you decide whether to make an investment.
Outline Your Budget:
Your love-life is priceless, but that doesn't mean it should cost you a fortune. Think about how much of investment you feel comfortable making, and limit online dating options to those sites which fall into this range of prices. Weigh free dating sites against paid-dating sites by test-driving each and gauging which ones meet your needs best. While you shouldn't feel like you're paying too much, you don't want to skimp on your love-life either!

Always Something Farm
344 Sumner Road.
Darien; 536-2135 or Facebook: Always Something Farm
Moriarty's Meats
23 Grant Street
860-5200 or moriartymeats.com
A Mangalitsa pig looks like an ancient beast, the kind rendered in pen-and-ink illustrations that might accompany a woodsman's account of the wild things he encountered in a dark forest. Their high, rounded backs slope down to giant, droopy ears that nearly cover their eyes as they snout around the mud looking for roots, bugs, and other tidbits. Coarse, wiry fur in shades of red, white, and black covers their massive bodies, making them well-suited for colder climates; they'll shed their coats when summer comes along. They're a mid-nineteenth century Hungarian breed that's a cross between a wild boar and a domestic pig and can weigh up to 450 pounds by the time they're ready for market.
Despite their size and formidable appearance, these fuzzy animals are docile giants. In the pastures at Always Something Farm in Darien, the Mangalitsas come when called and roll over for belly rubs from farmers Michael and Stephanie Parkot. The Parkots are part of a small number of farmers who are trying to bring this heritage breed back from the brink of extinction; by the early 1990s, there were only about 200 left in the world. The breed has only been in the United States since 2007, and they're still hard to come by. After driving hundreds of miles to acquire each Mangalitsa, the Parkots have started a breeding program on their farm with the first piglets due to farrow early this summer. These beasts share six rotational pastures with nineteen other heritage cross pigs, 250 chickens, a family milking cow, two horses, a pony, and a pair each of dogs and children. The pigs particularly like the back sections of the four-year-old farm's forty-two acres, where they find treasure troves of wild blackberry roots and fallen apples in the hedgerow. Michael broadcasts root vegetable seeds into the pastures so the pigs can root for treats and aerate the soil at the same time.
Aside from outward appearance, two related traits that set Mangalitsas apart from other heritage breed pigs are how long they take to mature and a high fat-to-meat ratio. While most pigs take just six to eight months to reach market weight, a Mangalitsa takes eighteen to twenty-four months. During that extra time, the lard breed pigs will slowly develop pure white fat in all the right places. As people have come to realize that sugar–not fat–is what's driving this country's obesity problem from a diet perspective, more chefs and home cooks are turning to heritage breeds and traditional cooking where fat plays an essential role in flavor and nutrition. As such, old world livestock raised on pasture is coming back into favor. In recent years, the Mangalitsa has been nicknamed the Kobe beef of pork, with price points to match, given their longer lives, smaller litters, and relative rarity.
The prized fat becomes most apparent when the hog reaches the hefty antique butchering block at Moriarty Meats, a new whole-animal specialty butcher shop on Grant Street, formerly owned by legendary Italian West Side butcher Frank Zarcone & Sons. Tom Moriarty, a laid-back thirty-something French-trained meat cutter and his wife Caitlin bought the shop, cleavers and all, from the Zarcones when they retired, and opened their own version of a neighborhood butcher shop earlier this year. Tom sources whole animals from local farms like Always Something, spends the week breaking them down into popular and harder-to-find cuts, and opens the doors on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to sell that week's fresh meat at the front counter and previous weeks' offerings from rows of old-school freezers along the walls.
Tom slices into a side of Mangalitsa, revealing a fat cap that's nearly four inches thick–almost triple what's found on a standard pig. The leaf lard inside is soft and spreadable, even when cold, and pure white–the animals don't eat corn or soy, which can turn the lard yellow. This fat is ideal for baking and charcuterie, and there's plenty of it.
Amid the layers of fat, Tom carefully carves out the St. Louis ribs, the shoulder loin, then the roasts, chops, cutlets, and hams. The Mangalitsa's dark, beautifully marbled meat looks more like steak than the pale conventional common pork chop. Seared in a hot skillet, a Mangalitsa chop behaves like a bacon-wrapped porterhouse–a crust of crisp browned fat on the outside, dark meat basted in its own rendered marbling within.
The cuts of this particular Mangalitsa are destined for homemade charcuterie aficionados and restaurant chefs who will use every inch of the animal in modern takes on heritage techniques. They'll make pastry crusts, tortillas, bonbons, and salted whipped lardo from the prized fat. Precise cuts of meat will be transformed by salt, smoke, skill, and time into bacon, dried sausages, pâté, rillets, fall-apart ribs, and more. Even the trotters, ears, tail, and nine-pound jowls will be celebrated on a plate. It takes Tom up to five hours to break down half of a huge Mangalitsa pig, but only three for a standard-sized hog.
For now, Always Something Farms have a handful of Mangalitsas. Most are spoken for before they head to the slaughterhouse, but curious eaters can reserve portions directly with the farm (and go out to visit the piglets starting in June), or find special preparations occasionally at Roost in Buffalo (chef Martin Danilowicz was the one who encouraged Michael to raise the breed in the first place), Yoshi in East Aurora, or Black Sheep in Buffalo.

- 1/2 cup wild rice
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 3 – 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 lb Kosher ground beef
- 2/3 cup tomato juice
- 10 grape tomatoes, cut in half
- 4 bell peppers of choice, we like red
- 4 slices of Munster cheese
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
One: Cook rice accordingly.
Two: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add oil and onions to a large saute pan and cook over medium high heat for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. Add the beef, tomato juice and seasoning. Cook until the beef is done all the way through, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and black pepper, cook covered for another 5 minutes.
Three: Fill a large pot half – full with water and bring to a boil. Wash and cut the tops off of the bell peppers and clean out the seeds. Add the peppers to the boiling water with the tops too. Cook covered for 5 minutes or until tender. Remove peppers and dry on a paper towel.
Four: Add cooked rice to beef mixture and stir. In a glass baking dish stand peppers and fill with rice and beef mixture. Top the pepper with a slice of Munster cheese and place the top on pepper. You can also choose not to put the top on, and the cheese wont stick to the pepper top. Bake for 15 minutes.
Five: Serve. Enjoy with Our Daily Red, sulfite-free wine from Whole Foods or Well Red from Trader Joe's

You are in :: Inicio > Information > Restoration of rivers and Voluntary work > rambladeperea
The Perea riverbed, a tributary of the Mula river on its left margin near the La Misericordia neighborhood ("Bº Misericordia" in Spanish)(Baños de Mula), with an approximate length of 13.5 km, has its source in Fuente Caputa, between the hills of the "Loma del Herrero" and the "Cejo Cortado";, although up to that point where the riverbed water flows permanently, it receives the waters of the Ricote range on the east, those of the "Loma del Herrero" on the west, and the water collected on the large plateau extending to the north (the sites of Veto, Llano de la Mata, El Prado and El Ardal). The section subject to environmental improvement is that stretching mainly from the old Roman dam up to the weir at the Perea power pant, with some re-vegetation patches along the rest of the riverbed.
In order to achieve the goals of the National River Restoration Strategy, the project aims at improving the ecological condition of this river section, regulating public use in the area of Fuente Caputa to make it compatible with the natural value of its surroundings, restoring the vegetation on the margins of the river, degraded mainly because of the heavy environmental stress caused by cattle in the area, and enhancing cultural heritage through restoration and musealization of the old Roman dam.

ArtsEmerson is the professional presenting and producing organization of the Office of the Arts at Emerson College. Through our international programming and local community partnerships, we serve the City of Boston, the Emerson community (students, faculty and staff) and the global field of performance practice. Founded in 2010, the same year that the US Census confirmed Boston as a majority-minority city, we are building a cultural institution that embraces and reflects the changing demographics of our city. We operate from the core belief that the arts are for everyone.
In 2010, ArtsEmerson's Founding Executive Director, Robert J. Orchard, identified gaps in the Boston cultural landscape and created an arts institution intentionally designed to fill that void and attract new audiences to Emerson's downtown arts venues. ArtsEmerson quickly established a reputation for putting great work from around the world on its stages—work that emanates from the language of theater, yet pushes the boundaries into dance, music, and opera.
ArtsEmerson's first seasons focused on building a world-class cultural institution that achieved visibility and a leadership role in the city in short order. By December of 2013, WBUR critic Ed Seigel cited ArtsEmerson in his annual "Best of" round-up, saying: "In four short years, [they] have established ArtsEmerson as one of the most important cultural institutions in New England." In June of 2015 Boston Magazine named ArtsEmerson the Best Theatre in Boston. With its artistic reputation firmly in place the organization's efforts are fully turned toward building an audience for the work that reflects the diversity of our city's demographics, and to establishing ArtsEmerson as an active civic partner in Boston.
In 2015 Orchard moved into the role of Creative Consultant. Currently ArtsEmerson is led by Co-Artistic Director David Dower, Co-Artistic Director P. Carl, and Executive Director David Howse. This shared leadership model reflects the organization's values — that multiple voices are essential to leading a 21st century arts organization.
To be a catalyst for creating a unified Boston.
To foster civic transformation through the shared experience of art and public dialogue.
The belief the arts belong to everyone. Every decision we make, every new programming choice and operational strategy, emerges from that conviction.
Effective and efficient stewardship of the resources under our control (facilities, expertise, money,) on behalf of Emerson College, the students, the artists, the community and the field.
Respect, integrity, civility and transparency in all our interactions (with each other, with our artists, with our audiences, with our students and with our clients).
Relationship building between the artists we are serving, the audiences who engage with our work and the Emerson community of students, faculty and staff.
Balance between our social conscience and our dedication to artistic excellence.
Diversity in all its forms—we seek to celebrate it and showcase it as integral to everything we do.
The City of Boston and our role in its creative and civic infrastructure.
Reciprocal collaborative relationships with each of our constituencies providing leadership where it's necessary, mentoring when it is desired and mutual discipline and respect to ensure success on every level.

It took director Garth Jennings 5 years to conceive and create his first animated movie. Now, finally, this film is ready for release this Friday. Produced by Chris Meledandri, the man behind the "Despicable Me" movies, and this year's animated hit "The Secret Life of Pets", Sing is a shifty theater owner, a koala named Buster, whose only way to save his business is to put on a singing competition with the help of his best friend. This animated kids' movie would be filled with pop songs and all the characters would be animals. So, after Zootopia, if you're eager to immerse yourself in another animal kingdom, Illumination Entertainment's got you covered with Sing.
Before this Hollywood animated movie gets released this Friday, here are the five things you need to know about Sing.
1. Sing is all about a Koala named Buster Moon who is a local theatre owner, struggling to keep the lights on with the bank breathing down his neck who makes a last-ditch effort to save the theatre by staging a singing competition, with the help of his best friend.
2. From the director who is known for his films like "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "Son of Rambow,", Sing an animated movie comes as a surprise. Garth Jennings returns from a nine-year hiatus with his first animated feature. He took about five years to conceive and develop this film.
3. The star cast is just superb. When it comes to the voice cast, Jennings was unwilling to settle for just any voice talent. He has managed to pull together an ensemble voice cast that that includes Scarlett Johansson, Leslie Jones, Matthew McConaughey, Seth MacFarlane, John C. Reilly, and Reese Witherspoon. The film's koala protagonist, Buster is voiced by none other than Matthew McConaughey.
4. Music is Just Awesome. Sing is all about music, so the music has to be something to look forward to in this film. "Sing" features more than 85 songs, plucked from the last 75 years in music history. Among these tracks, you can expect a mix of recent hits (Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance," Nicky Minaj's "Anaconda," Sam Smith's "Stay With Me") and vintage favourites (The Zombies' "The Way I Feel Inside," Bananarama's "Venus," Seal's "A Kiss from a Rose").
5. Sing has recently received Golden Globes nominations for the best-animated movie and best original song.

Mohamed, The First Name Zairi Malika; 14 min; French with English sbt
Mohamed is the most popular first name in the world. However, it has never been easy to carry it in some part of the world. Mohamed, a young boy of 10 years old told across situations of life in France. His parents remind him the origin of his first name, from the messenger of Islam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x44tPdFdVMw
Offside Cosima Frei; 15 min; Arabic/ German with English sbt
Dastan wants to play soccer. He wants to fit in, he wants to be like everybody else, but he stands out. Or much more, his veil wearing, Muslim mother. When for the first time she, and not his father, visits his soccer game, she becomes the object of his friend's mockery. https://vimeo.com/166485836
Fremde Tochter - Strange Daughter Stephan Lacant 106 min German with English sbt
Fremde Tochter is a film about the unusual love story between Lena, a 17-year-old German girl who harbors some prejudicial attitudes, and Farid, a 19-year-old 2nd generation Muslim migrant. Despite their different backgrounds and outlooks, a mutual attraction leads to an unplanned pregnancy and a complicated relationship that starts to encroach on other aspects of their lives. The film is an interesting and dramatic portrayal of how individuals and families struggle to negotiate a clash of contrasting values and cultures. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4746254/
Unbroken Paradise Juan David Romero; 25 min; French with English subtitles;
Documentary Unbroken Paradise tells the story of a Syrian refugee of Kurdish descent who fled the civil war in Syria to build his future as an architect in France. The documentary captures the hardships and challenges he has faced, first as a Kurdish minority in Syria and subsequently on his passage through Europe and his integration into France. Unbroken Paradise frames the life of Ramman Ismael, not as one defined by migration, but by his aspirations and humanity. https://vimeo.com/261195474
Abu Adnan – Adnan's Father - Sylvia Le Fanu , 25 min; Arabic/Danish with English subtitles
Sayid is a refugee doctor from Syria who has just received a Danish residence permit. We join him as he embarks on a new life in rural Denmark together with his son Adnan. At the same time as assimilating to a new country and learning a new language, he faces the challenge of maintaining his boy's respect. This is complicated by the younger family member finding the process of adaptation significantly less challenging in many ways. A pattern that will be familiar to many migrant families. https://vimeo.com/213148176

Product Description
Our Catch a Fire Gift Pack contains three of our favorite sauces from – you guessed it – Catch a Fire! Mangolian Sweet Heat, Don't Piss Me Off Pecker Sauce, and Green Lava. From a downright hot and spicy Pecker Sauce , to a uniquely flavored sauce with a base of avocado (Green Lava) this three pack will expand your horizons and cleanse your, ahem, "palette."
Don't Piss Me Off Pecker Sauce: Catch a Fire's Don't Piss Me Off Pecker Sauce is a must-have for pepper sauce lovers of all stripes, or feathers! Pairing the sweetness of mango nectar and the tanginess of ginger with a hint of red wine and (of course!) habanero peppers, this sauce can be added to anything from melted chocolate to marinara sauces. It's great on tacos, meats, veggies and even salads! Just be forwarned that the woodpecker on the label isn't messin' around- his gun is definitely set to stun!
I'm a die-hard chili head. For the uninitiated, that basically means I'm addicted to hot pepper sauce, and like my chili head brethren, I can tolerate a lot of pain. I have some friends, however, who just can't take the heat. Don't Piss Me Off Pecker Sauce is one of those sauces that I can cook with that satisfies my need for heat and yet doesn't leave them crying for their mamas- not too much, at least!
And if you're like me, you're a hot sauce eater as well as a hot sauce collector. The label in itself is enough to make me want to display this bottle in pride of place. But you may ask yourself if you really need an insane, gun-toting woodpecker in your life, one who could go off the rails at any moment. Well, you better believe that Peppers of Key West would look somehow empty without his menacing glare. Plus, this label may in fact depict the world's only pecker-gun toting woodpecker.
Green Lava: Look out! Catch a Fire's Green Lava hot sauce is overflowing with flavor! Made with spicy jalepenos, chunky avocados, cilantro, and orange and lime juices, this hot sauce is equal parts spicy, rich, and AWESOME! It packs a mild, yet delicious, burn into every mouthwatering bite. I love Mexican food and it takes me about a half an hour to mix up some quick tacos, rice and beans, and ta-da, instant party! Green Lava takes my cooking to extraordinary levels. Your guests will think you slaved for hours! And let's not forget that other Key West staple: margaritas!
Let me tell you, Jimmy Buffett didn't write the famed "Margaritaville" here in Key West for nothing. Most conchs feel like they've missed out if they don't have at least one margarita per day, and even though I'm not a native, I sure feel like one after all these years. One of my favorite easy Key West meals is a margarita and some chimichangas smothered in Green Lava. Good times! And when I'm on the run, I grab some nachos, shred a little cheese, and all I need for authentic-tasting Mexican cuisine is to top it off with some Green Lava. If you're short on time, this stuff can do miracles for your tastebuds.
Let Peppers of Key West rock your taco with Green Lava hot sauce! Fresh avocado, cilantro, and jalapeno- all the flavors of guacamole without all the calories. This sauce is great with any kind of southwestern fare: tacos, burritos, nachos, rice and beans; it all tastes better with Catch a Fire's Green Lava hot sauce. Get swept away!
Mangolian Sweet Heat: Mangolian Sweet Heat Pepper Sauce is a bit of a play on words. You might think we misspelled the name, but we didn't. With mangoes and scotch bonnet peppers, Mangolian Sweet Heat Pepper Sauce is a spicy concoction that will satisfy your sweet and hot teeth. This is the spiciest of the Catch a Fire mango offerings and is their best selling hot-sweet sauce. To round out the flavor of the sweet and heat, they include ginger as an ingredient which gives this hot sauce an earthy undertone that lends very well to chicken and pork as well as for creating a different take on most sweeter Asian dishes.Catch a Fire hot sauces are very popular here at Peppers of Key West. They are known for creating authentic sauces with unique combinations of flavors. Mangolian Sweet Heat Pepper Sauce is certainly no exception. True chiiheads will love this hot sauce as an alternative to sweet and sour and duck sauces for dipping their favorite foods into. For the less heat tolerant, you can mix this sauce in with your favorite sweet sauce to create a more mild, yet still spicy sauce of your own. Adding a little of it to your stir fry will take that dish to a whole new level of tasty. With a heat rating of 5 out of 10, this sauce is a hot one, but still has a great fruity taste from the mangoes.

It's official – I did have Swine Flu and as a friend of mine said "its a swine to get over". 3.5 weeks later and I am still snuffling and exhausted, though my Dr thinks I'm not contagious anymore.
So I know I was right to not open the Studio for the Art Trail.
Fascinating that these little viruses can make us feel so awful.
(I used to work in a lab looking for viruses like this – I loved it, best job I ever had).
To cheer myself up I went shopping…….. Let me introduce Isabel (left) and Emily (right). They have been with us for a week now.
They are now 10 weeks old and Emily is renamed Emily Widdle.
Because she does.
Almost every time you pick her up.

The concept of organizational behavior can be stated simply-"organizational behavior is the study of human behavior in organizations. It is a multidisciplinary field devoted to understanding individual and group behavior, interpersonal processes, and organizational dynamics." (Schermerhorn, Jr., Hunt, & Osburn, 2006, p. 3). The intent of this paper is to discuss the concepts of organizational behavior and culture, diversity, communication, business ethics and change management and provide examples of these concepts from the writer's workplace, Carle Foundation Hospital.
Organizational BehaviorA concept of organizational behavior is using the skills of the employees to help reach the end goal of the company. This is a strategic managerial approach to organizational behavior. This will also help achieve and maintain the competitive edge. Individually, many factors play a role to determine a person's worth. Some of the factors include self-managing, personal skills and attitude. On the interpersonal level, some of the factors include any conflicts amongst the different functions and departments, the communication between the departments and the quality of the leaders.
The culture and the different policies play a very important part of the organizational level. Carle is exceptional in its organizational behavior. Most of the executive management and vice presidents were once either regular employees or started out many years ago in a low level managerial position.
Organizational CultureThe culture of an organization is intertwined in the organizational behavior. The culture can be defined as "the shared beliefs and values that influence the behavior of organizationalmembers." (Schermerhorn, Jr., Hunt, & Osburn, 2006, p. 9). A strong culture breeds a brilliant organization. The organizational culture that exceeds with excellence will have an understandable vision and focus. The organization encourages positivity, teamwork, creativity and new ideas. A weak culture will be disorganized and ethics are amiss. There will normally be no trust or...

Hanna-Riikka Roine
Postdoctoral researcher, Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies
narratology, digital media, speculative fiction, worldbuilding, rhetoric, fandom
Hanna-Riikka Roine is a researcher interested in all things speculative in art and entertainment. She works as a research fellow in the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies 2017–2020, and also as a researcher within the iNARR consortium and its Helsinki team (lead by Merja Polvinen), which works towards a theoretical frame for how speculative techniques push against the limits of narrativity. Her expertise lies in the thorough understanding of contemporary narrative theory, game and digital media studies, and the many forms of communality in the contemporary culture. Hanna-Riikka's dissertation, which she defended in 2016 at the University of Tampere, demonstrated that as a rhetorical and communicative practice, worldbuilding accounts for the specific appeal of speculative fiction across media, but also for the aspects of engagement with fiction in general. She also worked as one of the founding editors-in-chief of Fafnir – Nordic Journal for Science Fiction and Fantasy Research until the end of 2016, and taught courses from fantasy and science fiction to narratology and digital media.

Sanna Tapionkaski
senior lecturer, University of Jyväskylä
children's and young adult fantasy, fan studies, language and gender, identity, critical discourse studies, feminist discourse studies, narrative studies, culture studies, literary studies, (new) media discourses
My research is situated in the area of identity, language and children and youth cultures. My earlier research investigated discourses of identity and power in children's fantasy literature, focusing on intersections of gender and age but also touching upon sexuality, class, ethnicity and nationality. My continuing interest is in narratives that rewrite, challenge and question stereotypes and conventional representations of gendered identities and power structures. In my current research I have been interested in online, transnational fan cultures where fans, inspired by fictional narratives, negotiate and perform their identities in creative ways through their fan practices. Apart from fantasy books, I am currently interested in animated series and games produced and marketed for children but attracting adult fans as well.

The Wii U version of Darksiders II may suffer from some additional technical hitches, but this vast adventure is so absorbing, it's still easy to lose yourself in its oppressive world. And what a world it is, with architecture so sharp that every spire threatens to puncture the heavens and make them bleed. You needn't worry about too many confusing story details if you missed out on the original Darksiders: this sequel's narrative isn't so much about plot as it is about place and tone. And that tone is what sets Darksiders II apart. The skies are ominous, the armor is impossibly chunky, and the game's star--Death himself--speaks with gravelly, somber tones, save a few moments of sarcastic humor that betray his agitation.
This port isn't the finest way to lose yourself in Darksiders II's fantastical universe, however. On the bright side, the Wii U release includes Argul's Tomb, downloadable content delivered for the earlier versions. The tomb isn't Darksiders at its best, with a protracted shooting segment lasting too long to be fun. (Though to be fair, you could take the melee approach in spite of all the guns scattered around.) This content can be accessed at any time, and provides you with the abilities necessary to complete it if you haven't unlocked them in the main campaign. But significantly, the game suffers from some frame rate problems, distracting loading times as you move through the overworld, and longer loading times when opening doors than in the other iterations.
Technical hiccups aside, Wii U owners get the same experience as everyone else, though with some gamepad tweaks: menus are accessible on the touch screen, special abilities can be (but don't have to be) activated by touching their icons, and tilting the pad changes your direction when swimming and pushing boulders. As for the basic mechanics, an icy opening introduces you to combat and movement. In traditional action game style, you slash away at clawed creatures with primary and secondary weapons. You run along walls and jump across beams like a devilish Prince of Persia. There are also role-playing elements: your enemies drop coins, armor, and weapons. You can don equipment, sell it to a merchant, or sacrifice it to level up rare possessed weapons, which you can customize at certain thresholds.
Darksiders II is clearly reminiscent of other games you have probably played. It recalls the structure of The Legend of Zelda, the parkour of Prince of Persia, and even the dimension-bending puzzles of Portal. Yet in spite of how heavily it wears its inspirations, Darksiders II establishes an identity all its own. The game's large scope and thoughtful pace allow you to breathe between battles, and each new mechanic has time to settle in before a new one is introduced. The leisurely sense of pace is obvious in the first level, where you can take in the frozen chasms beneath you, and enjoy the slick motion mechanics that have you defying gravity in heady flights of fancy.
If you played the original Darksiders, you might miss the up-front barrage of action at first, but Darksiders II is more about adventure than constant onslaught, though there are plenty of battles waiting ahead. As you ride your steed to the first main dungeon, you can relish the green fields of the first of multiple major regions, and simply enjoy the act of being. If you want, you can explore some of the surrounding ruins, where treasure chests protect valuable pauldrons and cloaks. Or you can slash up the baddies that roam the land, even from atop your horse. But once you get into the dungeons, Darksiders II becomes special--more cerebral than your average action game, and more energetic than your average exploration game.
As expected, each dungeon requires that you puzzle out how to get from one point to the next. At first, this involves scaling walls, throwing the naturally occurring bombs you stumble upon, and pulling a few levers. Then, you get a phantom grapple hook that allows you to swing from glowing hooks and extend your wall runs. Later, you split yourself in three, petrifying your main form and using two doppelgangers to stand on switches and move platforms. Ultimately, you fire portals to travel across great ravines and even through time itself--and these are hardly the extent of the tools you use to make progress through Darksiders II's clever self-contained puzzles.
