Current Research and Teaching
Professor Huang is happiest when she is working at the inter-sections of genre theory, cultural theory, critical race studies, and 20th- and 21st-century U.S. multiethnic literature and culture. Her scholarship focuses on the complex ways in which literary and cultural productions participate in the ways the "minority," the citizen, and the human are culturally and legally constituted, particularly in the U.S. context. She also investigates the affinities between ethnic literature and science fiction, two bodies of work that, in her view, share similar critical and theoretical aims in their treatments of social, cultural, and physiological difference. Professor Huang's first book, Contesting Genres in Contemporary Asian American Fiction (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010), examines the political implications of narrative form for Asian Americans who write highly conventionalized "genre fiction"—immigrant fiction, crime fiction, and science fiction. Her new book, a volume of essays co-edited with David Roh and Greta Niu, is titled Techno-Orientalism: Speculating Asia in History and Futurity and is forthcoming in Spring 2015.
Professor Huang's courses include Ethnic America: Literary and Theoretical Perspectives, Fictions of Asian America, Aliens and Others in Science Fiction, Speculative Fiction, and Major American Writers II.

Part of what was called a sensible review process, 7-Eleven is selling a cadre of stores, including the location at the Rtes. 1 and 27 intersection.
7-Eleven is looking to sell 75 of its locations nationwide, including Walpole�s High Plain Street store. Partnering with NRC Realty and Capital Advisors, the company will sell out dated or underperforming locations in favor of buying new, larger spots.
NRC Marketing Director Evan Gladstone said the sale is part of a periodical review process, not a downsizing effort. This is the fourth group sale coordinated by the realty company for 7-Eleven this year, Gladstone said.
"They�re not taking a breather, they�re looking at the stores at the lower end of their deck," Gladstone said.
Though he could not say why the Walpole store was specifically being sold, he said it is likely because of age and space. The popular convenience store chain is looking to buy freestanding locations with room to include fuel pumps. The Walpole 7-Eleven does not have gas pumps.
"7-Eleven continues to grow all the time," Gladstone said. "Typically, their template for a new store might be double the size [of an old one]."
The building is 2,400 square feet on a commercially zoned lot. In 2012, NRC reported the store paid $8,048 in property taxes. The building is currently leased to 7-Eleven by the Palumbo Brothers Trust.
Along five other stores in Massachusetts, and locations in Florida, Texas, New York and other states, the Walpole 7-Eleven will be up for sale to any buyer. It might be repurposed for a different convenience store chain, Gladstone said, or taken for a different use entirely.
"There are many nice sites in this package that simply do not fit 7-Eleven�s current business model,"Robbie Radant, 7-Eleven vice president of mergers and acquisitions, said in a statement. "All of these stores have solid merchandise sales and should provide good opportunities for the right buyers."
Prior to becoming a 7-Eleven, the location was a White Hen Pantry. It became the second 7-Eleven in town after the branch in Walpole center.
7-Eleven spokeswoman Margaret Chabris declined further comment on the sales.
The stores for sale are not franchised locations, Gladstone said. They are all under company operation and ownership.
7-Eleven seeks to sell Walpole's Rte. 1/27 store
Part of what was called a sensible review process, 7-Eleven is selling a cadre of stores, including the location at the Rtes. 1 and 27 intersection.

If there's an upset and Lincoln wins, explain that by Argo you were referring to the president by his mother's maiden name, Argot. By this point in the evening, everyone will be too drunk/tired to call you on it.Claire Folger / APCanCon: Point out that Canada had a much bigger role in the operation than providing free food and lodging while the CIA saved the day.Claire Folger / APBest editing: Since 1981, every best-picture winner has also been nominated for best editing. But since both Lincoln and Argo meet that criterion, it doesn't help pick the winner this year.David James / APBest actor: It's well-known that method actor Daniel Day-Lewis trained as a boxer for his role in The Boxer, and as a butcher for his role in Gangs of New York. But did you know that while rehearsing for There Will Be Blood, he actually drank Paul Dano's milkshake? (This is in the category of "true because it should be true.")Kevin Winter / Getty ImagesBest actress: Nine-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis is the youngest nominee ever in the category, and Emmanuelle Riva, at 85, is the oldest. But 22-year-old Jennifer Lawrence, poised to win for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, was once the second-youngest nominee ever, for 2010's Winter's Bone ...Handout / for the NEWS... A win this year will also make Lawrence the youngest winner since 21-year-old Marlee Matlin in 1986 — and the youngest ever for whom no one makes a fuss about her age.Chris Pizzello / APBest supporting actress: Anne Hathaway has this category all but sewn up for her performance in Les Misérables, a feat that comes down to her sobbing rendition of I Dreamed a Dream while covered in dirt.Kevin Winter / Getty ImagesThe song lasts just three and a half minutes, making it one of the shortest bits of Oscar bait ever. Although in 1976, Beatrice Straight managed to pick up the best supporting actress prize in Network with just five minutes and 40 seconds of screen time. Straight cried but didn't sing.Best animated short: The wistful, romantic Paperman is a shoo-in for the prize. And its wistful, romantic score is by a Canadian, Christophe Beck of Montreal, who also composed the music for the not-so-wistful Hangover movies.. / .Best song and score: Another Canadian, Winnipeg's Mychael Danna, is nominated in both categories. Pi's Lullaby is sure to lose out to Adele's powerful theme song from Skyfall, but his Life of Pi score has an outside chance.Jason Merritt / Getty ImagesBest live-action short: Montreal's Yan England is in the running for Henry, about an old man dealing with the loss of his memories. It was inspired by England's grandfather, and makes a lovely companion piece to fellow nominee Amour. Speaking of which …Ryan Remiorz / THE CANADIAN PRESSBest foreign-language film: Another no-brainer, this one will go to Michael Haneke's Amour. It's also just the ninth foreign-language film to be nominated for best picture. That list also includes Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima; and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from Life of Pi director Ang Lee. No foreign-language film has ever won the best picture prize.Uncredited / APCanCon Part II: Spare a thought for War Witch (a.k.a. Rebelle) by Canada's Kim Nguyen.

Canada's only foreign-language Oscar is for Denys Arcand's The Barbarian Invasions in 2003.Sound mixing and editing: In recent history, both prizes have gone to the same movie about half the time (and in four of the last five years).

Frost & Sullivan Lauds Sprint's Targeted Collaboration Solutions for Small Businesses in the United States
The company offers unique value for this underserved segment through focused product design, expert support and affordable solutions
Jan 16, 2013, 09:00 EST
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the mobile communications and collaboration market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Sprint with the 2012 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Enhancement. Sprint stands out among its peers by offering not only a tightly integrated, professional communications solution in Microsoft Office 365 but also personalized "Carefree Cloud" that includes onboarding, migration, and technical support services to meet real small business needs.
While effective mobile communications and collaboration tools are crucial to succeed in today's challenging economy, smaller businesses have historically received little attention from communications vendors. Though many U.S. wireless carriers are starting to realize the significant sales potential of solutions tailored for small businesses, customizing their approach to match the needs of these businesses has not been as forthcoming.
"Too often, technology can act as a barrier instead of an enabler," noted Frost & Sullivan Principal Analyst Jeanine Sterling. "Sprint doesn't leave small businesses to just cope with day-to-day demands on their own, but instead serves as a true growth partner, enhancing the value that its customers receive."
Sprint has teamed with Microsoft to offer the Microsoft Office 365 solution, a very attractive collaboration and productivity offering in a hotly-contested field. The basic Microsoft Office 365 package includes professional-grade Exchange email, web conferencing, instant messaging file sharing, access to Microsoft Office documents on the go, and the ability to quickly create a public website. Additional packages layer in additional capabilities. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) model allows subscription pricing and per-user, per-month rates.
These packages are only the starting point, as far as Sprint is concerned. "Sprint starts with the excellent Microsoft Office 365 tools and then makes the solution even more compelling by adding the surrounding services that small businesses crave," observed Sterling.
Sprint offers its "Carefree Cloud" service, which includes white-glove migration and onboarding service to ensure a smooth deployment, further enabling client satisfaction and optimal use of the solution. Unlike rival services, this service is free of charge during the first 90 days after the purchase of the Office 365 product. Customers can simply schedule a one-on-one appointment with a Sprint Carefree Cloud Agent at whatever time is convenient and then be assisted through the entire migration and activation processes. These sessions can take place by phone or remote log-in and are gauged to the needs and expertise level of the customer.
After the actual implementation, Sprint maintains a close partnership with the customer, providing free technical support at the end-user level, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Customers can further simplify IT management from Sprint by purchasing a Productivity Suite that bundles Office 365 with Sprint IT Helpdesk. Sprint IT Helpdesk includes unlimited 24/7 remote and on-site technical support for operating system issues, software support and installation, and hardware diagnostics and troubleshooting including most peripherals and mobile device. From other providers, this type of support is often only available to the customer's designated "administrator" and also may require an additional fee.
Sprint also makes its Microsoft Office 365 solution available on a month-to-month basis, with no contract or minimum number of seats required. Visit www.sprint.com/office365 to learn more.
Based on these factors as benchmarked through Frost & Sullivan competitive analysis, Sprint is the recipient of the 2012 Customer Value Enhancement Award in the mobile communications and collaboration market.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers with a focus on improving the return on the investment that customers make in its services or products. The award recognizes the company's inordinate focus on enhancing the value that its customers receive, beyond simply good customer service, leading to improved customer retention and ultimately customer base expansion.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder: Their Impact on the Processing of Information and Learning

The purpose of this study is to increase researchers understanding of the biological basis of generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder. They will investigate how the brain activity associated with specific thoughts and feelings may play a role in these anxiety disorders. This knowledge will be used to design interventions to help those with these illnesses.
To qualify for this study, participants must be evaluated via an initial telephone screening interview and material sent through the mail.
Participants will then be required to make three visits to NIH. During the first visit, they will be asked questions about their general mood, degree of nervousness, thinking skills, and behavior. They will undergo a thorough physical exam, including an EKG, blood work, urinalysis, and a pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential. During the second visit, participants will spend about 2.5 hours doing various tasks while sitting and looking at a computer screen. These tasks will guide them to experience specific kinds of thoughts and emotions. Researchers will attach electrodes to the participants hands to monitor the amount of electricity conducted by the skin. The third visit will be similar to the second visit, but participants will perform the tasks while lying in a MRI scanner.
Participants will be compensated up to $400 for their involvement in this study.
|Condition or disease
|Anxiety Disorders
There have been suggestions that the threshold for amygdala activity is lower in individuals with anxiety disorders than in healthy individuals. However, despite it's immediate plausibility, there have been relatively few tests of this hypothesis. Specifically, there have been very few explorations of the performance of patients with anxiety disorders on measures known to implicate the amygdala.
Although the high co-morbidity of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) complicates the issue, the fact that the disorders doubly dissociate suggests that they are due to dysfunctional activity in separable neurocognitive systems. We would suggest that the hyper-responsive amygdala hypothesis is more likely to be linked to the explanation of GAD. In contrast, SAD may be due to reduced activation thresholds for units in a system that responds to social threat and which recruits lateral orbital frontal cortex. Thus, the current project will determine the performance of patients with GAD and SAD on measures in which the amygdala is known to play a role and also measures that recruit lateral orbital frontal cortex and the system for social response reversal. In addition, two proposed neuro-imaging studies will directly assess neural responses in these two systems in both patient populations. The project should provide clear data that will constrain future theorizing on the pathology implicated in these two disorders.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 50 Years (Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Age: Participants will be males and females, 18-50 years of age.
IQ: IQ, as measured by 4 subscales from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R), must be > 80.
Medication status: No regular use of psychotropic medication within 2 weeks of the study (or fluoxetine within 8 weeks of the study). No regular use of any benzodiazepine. We intend to identify patients whose GAD/SAD is currently untreated.
Because factors such as psychiatric disease, or CNS disease, can influence functional brain activity, and pregnancy precludes participation in fMRI studies, these factors are exclusionary.
Psychiatric history: Participants will be assessed using DSM-IV criteria via standardized psychiatric interviews conducted by trained examiners (i.e., SCID). Any current suicidal ideation will be exclusionary.
- Healthy comparison individuals (Group 1): All participants will be free of any current psychiatric disorder as well as lifetime history of psychosis, pervasive developmental disorder, major affective disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, conduct disorder, ADHD, anorexia.
- Patients with GAD (Group 2): Any history of an axis I diagnosis excluding SAD but not including adjustment disorder, simple phobia or dysthymia is exclusionary. There must be no current mood disoder (MD) though patients with past MD, which occurred after the onset of GAD, will be admitted to the study. We recognize the difficulty of recruiting patients with GAD without co-morbid SAD and will therefore allow patients who are comorbid into the study in this group. We have faced difficulties with our studies of children with psychopathic tendencies where, although it is possible to identify populations who only meet criteria for ADHD most children who meet criteria for psychopathic tendencies are co-morbid for ADHD. We will adopt a similar strategy to our work with children; i.e., in contrasts of patients with GAD with comparison individuals, we will use SAD symptomatology as a covariate to reduce, and evaluate, the impact of pathology associated with SAD on the data.
- Patients with SAD (Group 3): Any current history of an axis I diagnosis including GAD, but excluding adjustment disorder, simple phobia or dysthymia is exclusionary. There must be no current mood disorder (MD) though patients with past MD, which occurred after the onset of SAD, will be admitted to the study.
- History of Drug Abuse: Axis I diagnoses of substance use disorders will be exclusionary.
- Severe acute and chronic medical illnesses.
- CNS disease: History of brain abnormalities (e.g., neoplasms, subarachnoid cysts), cerebrovascular disease, infectious disease (e.g., abscess), or other neurological disease, or history of head trauma (defined as loss of consciousness > 3 min).
- Metal or electronic objects: Metal plates, certain types of dental braces, cardiac pacemakers, etc., that are sensitive to electromagnetic fields contraindicate MRI scans.
- Claustrophobia: Participants will be questioned about potential discomfort in being in an enclosed space, such as an MRI scanner.
- Pregnancy status: Because of the potential effects of hormonal changes on brain function as well as the unknown effects of electromagnetic field on the fetus, known pregnancy is an exclusion criterion.

Illustrations 'stick' to the text and support the ideas
Lesson 3 of 7
Objective: SWBAT identify and use illustrations and informational text features to add to the meaning of text.
- North American Indians by Marie and Douglas Gorsline (you could use a text about any history topic from a social studies book – I chose this text because the illustrations support the text and this topic because we are studying this in social studies)
- Colored highligher tape or post it strips
- 'Native American groups' powerpoint
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: illustrations, text features, informational text, (names of text features in the text you are using – preview before you teach the lesson)
- 'Support the Text' worksheet
- Set up the whiteboard with the organizer from the worksheet
This text is older and still uses some of the words that we consider to be insensitive today (Indians, tribes). I think its important for students to hear these words with an explanation of why we have changed the terms to something more sensitive to today's population. (Native Americans, group)
Resources (4)
Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Bring students to a common learning point
- Watch the video on Native Americans to build background knowledge and develop interest.
- Add any vocabulary to the whiteboard that is pertinent to your unit (tepee, feathers, longhouse. Here's how I highlight these words in this focus on vocabulary video.
- Ask students what they thought about the Native American groups in the movie... "Did all the pictures of Native Americans look the same? What was different? What did you learn?"
I chose to watch a Native American video to bring in students' background knowledge. The music and images are very powerful on this video and give students a feeling for the time in history. There is some academic vocabulary introduced on this video that I'll use in the lesson, as well. The students always enjoy watching a video to get them to the same starting place in learning.

Teachers' Turn
Show the Powerpoint (slides 1-7):
- As the class looks at the Native American pictures, I lead a discussion to compare and contrast the pictures.
- I ask questions like, "Why do you notice? ... How are these groups different? … Why do you think they look so different?" … You can watch a short clip of me talking in the 'discussion of powerpoint'
Read Aloud: Before Reading
- I use the book Native American Indians by Marie and Douglas Gorsline to model using text features that help me understand the book; you can use any book that is thematically related and has rich examples of text features.
- I start by showing the cover and asking, "How do we know this is informational text?"
- Then I talk about using informational text features to understand this text better and support ideas in the text
- As I do this, I show informational text features' (#1-4) to scaffold visually for my students.
Read Aloud: During Reading
- I read the intro to the book with and without illustrations/text features to contrast how comprehension is more difficult without these features to help us. I say something like, "The illustrations and text in a good book support each other - the illustrations 'stick' to the text."
- Then I put the 'sticky' highlighter tape on words supported by the illustrations:
- Here are some examples of what I say as I do this:
- "I can see the map that helps me understand the words 'migrating East, roam over North America'. I'll highlight those.
- "The idea of 'moving westward' is easier to understand when I look at the map." (add highlighter tape)
- "The pictures of the Native Americans clarify the idea of the text that says 'different places and many cultures'. (more highlighter tape)
Read Aloud: After Reading
- I summarize: "The illustrations really do support the text – they help me understand the information better."
- I write the highlighted text on the whiteboard
- I create an illustration that supports that text (Make sure to talk about adding details to the illustration that make the wording more understandable – see teacher sample in resources)
There is a shift in ELA Common Core Standards toward the student's use of images to contribute and clarify text and to support understanding. (RI.2.7) They should be able to integrate and evaluate content presented visually and add the information gained to their learning. The use of informational text, as in the Native American focus of this lesson, also allows for students to acquire and utilize academic vocabulary and build a foundation of knowledge to be better readers in all content areas.
Resources (3)
Students Take a Turn
Explain the task
- "You will get three pieces of highlighter tape to use. I want you to come up and take turns choosing informational text features."
I will be focusing on these informational text features throughout the year. Students are expected to know and use these features (captions, bold print, glossaries, indexes, etc) to locate key facts or information in text efficiently. (RI.2.5) By analyzing the structure of texts, including how the features relate to each one rand the whole, I am encouraging students to draw on their own abilities to discover answers for themselves instead of relying on the teacher to supply the facts.
Students work
- I read a page and show the illustrations. Students come up and take turns putting highlighter tape on the informational text.
- I list the ideas on the board for illustrations (Make sure the ideas are 'meaty' enough to make a drawing to clarify and are differentiable from each other and add some target vocabulary from the board that you've identified)
- Students choose an idea and fill out a worksheet
- They draw an image that supports the idea. Here's a few examples of my students illustrations. student artifact 1 and student artifact 2
If you have a class set of history books or are using social studies text, then have the students use their own highlighter tape, although I prefer to do this as a class so we get really good examples, I can demonstrate how to 'think aloud' about the process, and I make sure the illustrations really do support the text.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Apply What You've Learned!
Share the ideas
- "Who wants to share their illustrations? Can you explain how they support the text/help that you read?" See how one of my students explained her ideas.
- Add comments to the discussion – "That map really helped your see where the Indians went" or "The longhouse has lots of holes in the illustration – Does the text say why?"
- Support the students as they share. Help them use the vocabulary. If they have a variety of text ideas and illustrations to share, you have now taught a social studies lesson! – That's why I love teaching informational text!)
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be easily scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
For students with limited academic ability, they may need support with identifying text to highlight and with illustrating. I prompted them with a suggestion when they came up ("It says that 'they lived in long houses made of poles..' Is there a picture of the those houses here?")
For students with greater academic ability, I would challenge them with one or two more difficult text examples to other ideas that they heard. Possibly reread a page with more difficult text and have them write their own ideas.

Sopressa, Vicentina-Style Salami
Chill meat and fat to just below freezing. Grind meat and fat separately through 3/8-inch plate making sure to keep meat as cold as possible during handling. Place meat in a mixer bowl and mix in salt, white wine, dextrose, garlic, pepper, clove, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and Cure#2. Mix until paste becomes slightly sticky against the side of the bowl. Dissolve starter culture in distilled water. Add to meat mixture, making sure to mix thoroughly. Stuff mixture into pork middles and tie off to desired length. Ferment sausages for up to four days in an area where temperature and humidity can be controlled to 80ºF and 80-85% humidity. Transfer salami to an area where the temperature is relatively consistent around 60ºF and 75% humidity. Dry until salamis lose roughly one third of their starting weight and serve.

NSA Will Send Data-Storage Proposals to White House
Director Says Agency Has Collected 'Sufficient' Data
CHICAGO—The outgoing head of the U.S. National Security Agency said Friday it will send proposals on storing intelligence data externally to the White House in the coming week, and warned of a growing threat of cyberattacks on the nation's energy infrastructure.
It remains unclear where the agency will look to move a database that tracks phone calls and other communications as part of the Obama administration's efforts to overhaul the intelligence community. Telecom operators have voiced reluctance to hosting the data, and...

Latest White House Briefing: Simpler Statistics
wo sections added to the White House Web site in late May, the Federal Economic and Social Statistics Briefing Rooms, are making sense of the government's statistical maze.
The federal statistical system is decentralized. The Justice Department compiles statistics on incarceration, the Education Department crunches the numbers for illiteracy rates, and so on. Unfortunately, it is not always clear which statistics are compiled by which agency. For example, if you were looking for the percentage of doctorate degrees in science and engineering awarded to women, you might think the information would be at the Education Department, but it is actually compiled by the National Science Foundation. Even frequent data users such as economic forecasters and social science researchers have complained about not knowing where to locate federal statistical information.
Agencies have long resisted the most obvious solution-creating a single Bureau of Statistics to do all of the government's data collection and analysis in one place-because "we believe there's enormous strength to a diverse system," says Sally Katzen, administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the Office of Management and Budget.
The Federal Economic and Social Statistics Briefing Rooms (http://www.whitehouse.gov/fsbr) offer a way out of this impasse. The briefing rooms receive current releases of the most used and sought-after statistics directly from the agencies that produce them. So to find the aforementioned statistics on women with advanced science and engineering degrees, for example, Web surfers would go to the Social Statistics Briefing Room, where they would find four categories of statistics: Crime, Demographic, Education and Health. The information on women with doctorates is right where it ought to be-in the Education section.
Eleven other topics are listed in the Education section, including "Adult Literacy" and "Net Cost of Attending Post-Secondary Education." Each topic displays a title, a thumbnail analysis of the data presented, the source from which the statistics are derived and a tiny chart. Three are hypertext links to more information: Click on the title to get the lowdown on how the statistics were collected and analyzed, as well as links to related information; click on the source to jump to the home page of the agency or division which provided the information; or click on the chart to see a full-sized graphical presentation of the information.
The briefing rooms' biggest drawback might be that information is not presented in alphabetical or any other sort of order, so users have to scroll through the pages to find the specific topic they are seeking. However, this activity can be worthwhile as browsing reveals the hitherto unknown wealth of information the government tracks.
The briefing rooms were developed by the Office of Management and Budget's Interagency Council on Statistical Policy, with technical input from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Office of Administration.

Intercape bus service traps clients with religious cult on-board films
August 2010
edited August 2010
- Southern Africa
On the 12th of July 2010 I was booked on an Intercape bus from Cape Town to Johannesburg in South Africa. Ref no: B2Q30HV5
When the on board film started it became very clear that the message emanating from the film was one of fundamentalist Christianity; to the point where the message declared that you would go to hell and burn if you did not yield to the Christian doctrine The message took on the fundamentalist hysteria when members in the films audience were displaying a typical-cult psychosis, precipitated by uncontrollable weeping that stems from severe, unhealthy indoctrination.
I called one of the Intercape assistants and objected to the film because I am an atheist and there were Muslims on board. She laughed and said they would not! I was utterly shocked at her response. I then approached the bus driver and to my horror his reaction was the same, declaring to his staff (who were standing around him), with laughter and a mocking tone, "He wants me to change it?" and continuing to laugh. I told them that I would pursue my complaint beyond the scope of Intercape.
The tape went on for about 3 hours.
The following morning at 08h00 the tape was replayed. When I again lodged a complaint, the assistant again let out a laugh and said that it was company policy to play only this tape. I told her I viewed their forced indoctrination as a form of kidnapping because we have no recourse: we can't climb off the bus; we can't object; they have broken a law by not allowing freedom of religion, but instead have trapped their clients through deceit. Nowhere on their web page does it say that the company only plays fundamentalist christian films, giving the individual a choice to use the carrier or not. She simply smiled at me and walked away, chuckling under her breath.
I have also lodged a complaint with consumer watch, the press, both local and international and sent a private email to Professor Pierre de Vos, Constitutional Law consultant, to ascertain the course of Legal Action that I should take against Intercape and their employees.

What a painful experience. Please keep us updated of developments.
Was the tape played very loudly, was it hard to ignore? I wonder how hard it would be to simply to read a book or listen to an iPod as a way of avoiding the offensive message. I do see your principle though, and agree the service should be more transparent about their full offering.

My family and I have recently traveled from Johannesburg to Cape Town and were very pleasantly surprised to find a company which is bold in their outlook and unashamed about their spiritual beliefs. The message that came across from the movie and the personnel on the bus should be enough to give a "free thinker" latitude enough to think for themselves. However in response to the complaint we would like to know what would have been more appropriate to show which would not have offended somebody at some stage of the different age groups races and cultures, and, since when did religious freedom only cater to protect the interests of the people which do not believe in an awesome, great, loving creator of the world in which they find themselves not believing. Why should Christians be the only ones to not have the FREEDOM to express their faith in whatever form. Next time take ear muff's so you can close your eyes to the truth. I don't see why they would have to advertise that they might show a Christian film then I would like them to say as well when they are going to show a film which might not be Christian. The Gospel is for everyone be glad that they don't discriminate.

I do not believe that a company offering a service like this has any right whatsoever to preach to anyone. They should open a church rather, and realise that, while they are entitled to believe whatever they want to believe, not everyone agrees with them, and a business environment is the wrong place to force their views, especially when they have paying customers, and those customers, once in transit, cannot simply get off the bus. I was going to book tickets for my daughters to travel from Cape Town, but after reading this, I will be dealing with another, secular, company.

It is unfortunate that the company is not more straightforward about this aspect of their service. A quick look through their website reveals that nowhere do they state clearly that they force passengers to watch religious programming, however if you look at their company info (and how many passengers actually do this) the religious affiliation becomes more obvious:

I too took intercape bus several times from JHB to Cape Town. I was subject to that same BS Video. To answer a few of the above questions. YES it was LOUD!! HOLY

#$%^ LOUD! I was on the second deck both times and the brainwashing was about 3 hours long. I had no idea as a foreigner (Canadian) that this brainwashing would be FORCED down my throat. What a fricken joke. That is the one thing I've noticed about Africa; the religion scams and brainwashing are about 4-6 years behind the U.S. and Canada. The scams and brainwashing and evangelical preaching etc etc, are full swing here. It's almost as if organized religion has found a group of people they can PREY on. Religious organizations for the MOST PART feel that Africans are less informed, less educated and therefore are EXACTLY the crowd they need to collect money from poor and brainwash the ignorant. Sad really. If you're one of the people that buy into it, I would assume you will taunt me or call me evil, but really, you're the exact person that I am talking about and your brainwashing has already been well underway. Intercape has a GREAT bus service, but the religion crap is way over the top.

I am disappointed by the conduct /service offered by Intercape. Last night 26/05/2011 Intercape Bus leaving Durban at 21:00, bus attendants argued to take my laggage packed in a small to mediums size box stating that the charge for the boxes but not for the bags and suitcases. I had only R40 which I offered to pay but they refused to take it wanted more money mentioned R200 or at least R100. Meanwhile at the check in point the lady that checked me in when I said I have a box and the bus attendant said I have to pay for it, she said she does not deal with that, I must talk to the bus attendants. I offerred then that the laggage can be paid for when I reach my destination in Pretoria as I would arrange someone to bring me money, that was also a problem and they said my laggage should remain in Durban. This arguement took almost about 20 minutes but finally the box was loaded in the bus. On my destination in Pretoria bus attendants refused to off load my box demanded a pay, eventually they took the R40 that I had and the small ticket with a reference for my box but still could not release the box, they wanted more money. They kept on saying if we weigh the box you will probably be charged R300 but when I agreed that the box must be weighed they failed to do so. They wanted to leave with my box in the bus and told me to go the office to ask for my box when I have money, while they were not leaving the box in the office, and they took my reference tickect. I would have no evidence to claim the box. I was so intimidated in the process and I thought how many other passengers really go through this horror. My box wasn't big and it was not heavy and that was so evident hence they failed to weigh it but kept on threatening that it would cost more if they weight it. The person that I was expecting to bring me money was on his way, finally he came while we were still arguing and paid the total of R100 for the Box. The receipt was not issued. Receipts have to be issued when running a business as confirmation of payment for a service, and trust to the customer (me) that I pay what I am suppose to be paying for in a genuine note.

I travelled Intercape in 2010, and was surprised about a group prayer and badly made Christian films and evangelical messages screened on board. Otherwise, the journey was fine, and it was well run. I felt even better when the bus driver refused to let on a drunken and rude passenger. It didn't bug me too much, but sure, Intercape really does need to put its beliefs, and intentions to screen that overtly Christian material, more up front - on its website and have a Christian poster or two in its offices, so people know what they are in for and can choose whether to travel with them. Saying that, I'd travel with them again because it is such a well run service.

Yea, spreading the truth is a nice feature. But how can I know, that something is the truth? Is a SA bus company actually the only and unique depositor of the truth? Intercapes religious services are not christian, they are (maybe) protestant. Much of it is in contradiction to catholic faith and the teachings of subsequent popes. So who is right? Intercape or the Pope?
And to Mr or Mrs Anashamed: How would you react, if you went to the butcher to buy meat and then would be told, that you can get meat only together with the latest edition of the Koran? This is what happens to passengers of Intercape - they buy a ticket for a bus ride, not one for attending religious service. It's not about truth or religion, it's about disappointing costumers' expectations. By the way, they now state on their tickets, "christian materials are used on board", which seem to indicate, that they got the point.

Because of the christian teachings forced on passengers of Intercape, as described in the above comments, I have cancelled my plan to use their coach service to travel Johannesburg/Knysna return. Unfortunately I will not be able to experience their comfortable new seating. I choose to rather experience the lesser seating comfort of another coach company and enjoy freedom from forced christian fundamentalist propaganda. That will be a much more comfortable experience!

Religion should be a private matter and the greatest form of selfishness is ramming your beliefs down other people's throats. Governments and businesses should stay out of religion (see all the states who base their government on religion and see what terribly repressive places they are to live).
I was just about to buy a ticket online and it says in their terms and conditions (note Christian material used on board). I don't think this should give them licence to do what they like. If you were born in mid-west America, you are probably Christian, if you are born in Iran, you are probably muslim, if Northern Europe, you are probably secular etc. What this means is religion is no universal truth, but is cultural and therefore an OPINION. How arrogant to believe that your religion is the truth - no argument. I do not want people's trying to indoctrinate me with their personal opinions and beliefs. Especially a commercial bus Company. Why not switch the TV off and allow people to sleep and enjoy the ride in comfort.
Can anyone recommend another Company that goes Cape Town to Windhoek rather than Intercape?

I have recently been caught in the same trap. 22 hours of fanatical fundamentalist Christian indoctrination. I guess I should have read the fine print, but thats underhanded marketing for you. The information is always in the fine print. Like in those contracts you wished youd never signed. If they are SO proud of spreading the truth then they should make it clear on their website instead of hiding it as the last point after scrolling down on their How it all started page or the very last comment on the Mission Statement page. It is false advertising when the service is reported as Audio Visual Entertainment instead of Fundamentalist Christian TV on the Services page. They catch the unsuspecting non-believers on their busses for 22 hours in the foolish hope that forcing this indoctrination down their throats will show them the way, the truth and the light! They show a complete and utter disregard for the religious beliefs of others and this kind of prejudice makes me angry. What is a Jewish or Catholic mother supposed to tell her five year old when asked what the end of days means? Mommy are we all going to die? Am I going to go to hell? Are all my friends going to be taken away in the rapture? What is the rapture? . It was utterly shocking and the fact that no headphones where provided so that everyone is forced to listen to it is what makes it just that much more intolerable for me. Their marketing strategy is underhanded and I will never put myself through that again! On top of everything the bus was 2 hours late and the staff was rude, from the call center to the hostess and bus drivers. We were rushed at every stop to make up the time that they lost because they were late in the first place. I reached my destination 4 hours AFTER the time stated on my ticket in a very very foul mood.

I was very grateful for Intercape. The buses were, on the whole, reasonably on-time; they were clean and well managed; and they were safe - there were a number of women travelling on their own who clearly felt comfortable. When one bus broke down, there were repeated messages sent to my mobile phone to update me on progress and when the bus would arrive. Because that bus was quite late (one had broken down, and they'd had to bring in a replacement) they brought meals on board at for an early dinner and then arranged for a restaurant along the way to stay open late so that we could get food later on as well. I found the staff largely very helpful and careful of the passengers (though in some smaller cities, the people who run their ticket office aren't actually Intercape staff, so can't help with some aspects) and they managed a series of difficult transactions involving the redirection of funds from a double-booked ticket really well. As for the films, I was glad of them, even if they weren't really from my tradition and might not have been great if you had small children with you. Having sat through lots of films on coaches in other parts of the world (most of which would definitely not have been great if you had small children with you), though, it seems to me that no one will be happy all the time. And on my coaches at least, the films weren't very loud (indeed, much of the time the sound didn't work at all).

It may interest the religious idiot-adults, (described by Christophe Hitchens as the childhood of our species), to know that there is insufficient evidence to prove that Jesus Christ even existed at all: it was all written after the fact in fanciful-nonsense contradictions. Even more to the point: In their search for the evidence that god gave the land to Israel, Finkelstein and Silbermans verdict (Book: The Bible Unearthed) is unambiguous: the Pentateuch, also known as the Torah is a complete work of fiction. So is most of the Old Testament borrowed from other sources in the Mediterranean and so is most of the New Testament borrowed from popular myths surrounding a virgin birth, a son of god, died, rose again, ascended into heaven: the concept is hardly new; look it up yourself and stop being so gullible! The Bible is simply not a reliable historical record; which also means that the monotheistic religions of Judaism and Islam, which all have their roots in Abraham, are false. So why would anyone follow a religion when it is all false? Quite simple really: indoctrination; an inability to think for yourself. If the Bible is your only source of information beware, the robins (yes, John Keatss pretty little birds) will come and bury you under the leaves. Try and expand your mind instead of being hammerlocked in religion. Get yourself free and read: Professor Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion; The Selfish Gene; The Magic of Reality; The Blind Watchmaker; The Greatest Show on Earth). Christopher Hitchens (God is Not Great - Religion Poisons Everything; Missionary Position). Dr Richard Carrier (Sense and Goodness without god). Professor Thomas Thompson (The Messiah Myth; Is this the Carpenters Son; The Historicity of Patriarchal Narrative). Sam Harris - Neuroscientists (The End of Faith; The Moral Landscape; Letter to a Christian Nation). Marilyn vos Savant (Worlds Highest IQ: see interview with Harold Channer) and dozens more. With all the evidence available, if anyone still clings to a religious belief, youre living in the Bronze Age.

Today science has explained so much of the word we live in its time to leave our superstions behind and evolve as a species. There is no gods, no heaven or hell, devils or demons. Just you and me on this beautiful planet, So why dont we take care of it and each other until we eventualy die. If you dont your life will truely have no meaning. If you still want to believe your Christian blind faith so be it, but dont force it on somebody else.

I was just about to buy a ticket online and I came across note: christian material used on board so i had to google this and i came across this complaint. I think this is so unfair forcing people to convert and telling them they are going to hell? they should respect other religion and play movies or nothing at all. Being laughed at for not wanting to convert? I hope this is not still going on.

Dear Promethean, we as Christians can only say "your disbelief does NOT change the truth" You were quick to comment of freedom to express religious beliefs, well guess what, that is exactly what Intercape was doing. I will continue to support a company who stand for something and doesn't fall for everything! Welldone Intercape, you will be blessed.

Wow, these are a lot of strong opinions - in both directions - about Intercape's choice of Christian programming. I came here in search of information on luggage weight allowances, but feel I must comment on this topic. While it's rather high-handed of them to force the management's beliefs on the general public, I respect Intercape's right to play whatever movies they choose during bus journeys. I, personally, will be listening to Richard Dawkins on my iPad, but more power to Intercape for spreading the gospel to the heathen masses. They are doing what they honestly believe is best for society, and they make no secret of this practice (these days; maybe not when this thread was started), so anyone who goes ahead and buys a ticket should be prepared to deal with the Christian propaganda.
It should be noted that Intercape's endeavor to "save" the sinful masses is largely pointless. An individual is unlikely to change his/her belief system because they hear a differing message during a bus ride (even a 28 hour one!). In my case, if I can come through 8 years of Christian school, followed by 2 years of Christian boarding academy + Christian summer camp, Christian youth group, Vacation Bible School, and several years as a missionary and STILL think the Bible makes absolutely no logical sense, I doubt anything Intercape throws at me will be able to change my mind. But if the passenger sitting next to me listens to the message, embraces Christianity, and lives the rest of his/her life with a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and a love for their fellow human beings (not to mention the security of knowing that they aren't headed to Hell), then I am nothing but happy for that person. Before I learned to think for myself and decided that god does not exist, practicing Christianity brought joy and peace to my heart. I wish everyone could experience the serenity I enjoyed as a child with blind faith ... just don't allow Jesus's love to develop into hatred for those who don't share your spiritual beliefs.

(Reuters) - A police officer and a murder suspect were killed after an altercation during questioning escalated to gunfire at police headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, authorities said on Thursday.
The officer was identified as Detective Eric Smith.
"This is indeed a sad day for our city, a sad day for the Jackson Police Department," said Jackson Mayor Harvey Johnson in a filmed interview posted on the Jackson Clarion-Ledger website.
"Our hearts go out to the Smith family. Detective Smith was an excellent officer, from all reports... Obviously the men and women of the Police Department are taking this pretty hard."
Smith leaves a wife and two sons, Johnson said on his Facebook page.
Hinds County Sheriff's Office spokesman Othor Cain said the shooting occurred on the third floor of the police headquarters in downtown Jackson.
"During an interview with the suspect, an altercation ensued and shots were fired resulting in the officer being shot and the suspect," Cain said. "Both have been pronounced dead."
It was not clear if the gun used in the shooting belonged to the officer.
Cain could not identify either of those killed. He said the officer was a veteran with the police department who had served for more than a decade.
The shooting occurred amid a heightened scrutiny of attacks on U.S. law enforcement officials after two prosecutors from Kaufman County, Texas, and the Colorado prisons chief were all killed in what appeared to be targeted attacks this year.
A West Virginia sheriff was also shot to death while sitting in his police SUV on Wednesday eating his lunch.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation has sent investigators to the Jackson crime scene, according to spokesman Warren Strain.

Low River Gets Some Relief
Closure Is Forestalled—for Now—on Drought-Stricken Stretch of the Mississippi
ST. LOUIS—Emergency rock blasting on a portion of the Mississippi River and a change in weather is giving the Army Corps of Engineers increasing confidence it can keep the river—a major conduit of bulk materials like grains, fertilizer and fuel oil—open to shippers through spring.
But the news, while welcomed by shippers and others that rely on the river, offers only temporary relief. The shipping lanes remain historically shallow and a closing could be in the offing if expected rains don't arrive....

Study abroad with Erasmus+ – the experience of a lifetime
Traineeships are temporary learning experiences, typically from 3 to 6 months (in justified cased up to 1 year), usually after graduating but before your first job. In some cases, though, you may be required to complete a traineeship in order to graduate.
Apprenticeships are formal vocational education and training programmes in which you share your time between learning in school and training in a company or workplace. When you finish you receive a professional qualification.
This time is your opportunity to apply the knowledge you have gained during your education in a real workplace setting. All traineeships should offer you exposure to an occupation, industry or career field, with a clear focus and specific project for you to complete. Your tasks and the expected learning outcomes should be laid down in a written traineeship agreement.
However, not all traineeships follow these guidelines – which is why the European Commission proposed a Quality Framework for Traineeships to Member States. Also, the European Youth Forum has drafted a Charter towards quality internships and apprenticeships.
Whether at home or abroad, in international organisations, public institutions or private companies, there are many traineeship and apprenticeship opportunities both in and outside Europe. For information on traineeships, apprenticeships and other opportunities available all over Europe, check out Drop'pin@Eures – the place for sharing European Youth Opportunities.

Darren Simons qualifies for PIAA State Golf Tourney
BLAIRSVILLE - Elk Catholic's Darren Simons was one of the 22 golfers who qualified for the PIAA State Golf Tournament on Monday at the PIAA West Regional Golf Championship, held at Tom's Run Golf Course in Blairsville. The PIAA State Tournament will be held on Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 25-26, at the Heritage Hills Golf Resort in York. A practice round will be played on Sunday, Oct. 14.Simons finished in a tie for eighth place in the tournament as he fired a one-over-par round of 73. Darren carded a three-over-39 on the front and a two-under-34 on the back. Simons was the only District Nine player to qualify for the state tournament."I wasn't at my best today," said Simons following the round. "My ball striking wasn't as crisp as I would have liked (and) as a result, I had to make some tough up-and-downs to save pars.""On the front side, I struggled on a couple of holes, the par-three eighth where I double-bogeyed and on a couple of par fours where I picked up bogeys," noted Simons. "On the back side I didn't hit the ball much better, but I was able to chip close and I made a couple of putts that allowed me to be under par on the back side.""For some reason, I never really got into a consistent rhythm, especially early, on as I would hit a couple of really good shots, then a bad one," Simons said. "On the back side, it started coming together as I was able to score much better and finish the round with a one-over-par score of 73, which was good enough to qualify for the State Tournament, which was my goal today."Taking the top spot on Monday at Tom's Run was Eric Urda of Central Catholic, who finished with a four-under-par round of 68 (34-34). Finishing second was Garrett Damich of Brentworth with a two-under 70 (35-35) and Ryan Prokay of Grove City, also with a 70 (36-34). In fourth place was Greg Podufal of Cathedral Prep with a one-under 71 (34-37).Three players tied for fifth with even-par 72s: Garrett Browning of West Alleghany (38-34), Chris Cline of Hempfield (36-36), and Brett Cox of Baldwin (38-34).Simons tied for eighth with three other players, all with one-over 73s: Brian Glesler of Slippery Rock (36-37), Brett Rinker of Slippery Rock (35-38), and Austin Romeo of Erie McDowell (36-37).Nine players tied for 12th with two-over 74s. Jim Ferguson of Tyrone (37-37), Mike Kloecker of Cathedral Prep (35-39), Mike McNulty of Seneca Valley (39-35), Jeremy Merich of Peters Township (39-35), Justin Miller of Riverview (35-39), Tommy Nettles of Peters Township (36-38), Graham Nye of State College (36-38), Will Wears of Greater Latrobe (38-36) and Colton Wiggins of Indiana (37-37). Rounding out the 22 qualifiers were Bo Lustig of Belle Vernon (39-36) and A. J. Steger of Blackhawk (37-38) with 75. They won a special one-hole playoff over Hunter Stanchak of Peters Township, who also hit 75 (36-39).Simons started the day off with a par on the par 4 No. 1 hole as he reached in regulation and two-putted. On the second hole, a par 3, he bogeyed as he missed the green on his first show, hit on and then two-putted.He bounced back with a birdie on the par 4 third hole as he reached in regulation and one-putted to get back to even par. He then proceeded to par the next three holes, a par five and two par fours, to remain at even par.On the seventh hole, another par 4, he hit his drive long but into a fairway bunker. He picked the ball clean on the bunker shot and sent it sailing over the green. He then hit on and two-putted for a bogey. On the eighth hole, a par three, he hit his tee shot heavy, then hit his next shot into the green side bunker. From there, he proceeded to make a double bogey and fall to three over par. He parred the ninth hole to final the front side at 39 (three over).On the 10th hole, he reached in regulation and two-putted for par. On the 11th hole, a par three, he hit on the green and two-putted for another par.On the 12th hole, he hit a good drive, then hit a great second shot to within a couple feet of the pin. He made the putt to go to one under on the back and two over on the round. On the par 5, 13th hole, he reached in regulation and two-putted for par. He parred the 14th with two putts, then on the 15th he hit into the rough. He hit his second shot short, but chipped within two feet of the pin on his third shot to save par.On the par 3, 16th he reached in regulation and two-putted. On the 17th, he reached in regulation and two-putted to remain at one under for the back.On the par 5, 521-yard, 18th hole, Simons hit his drive down the middle and his second short just short of the green. His third shot stopped inches from the hole. He tapped it in for the birdie to finish the back nine at two under and the 18 holes at one over 73.Other District Nine players in the tournament finished as follows: Josh Stauffer of Bradford, 39-37-76 (tied for 24th), Eric DeSalve of DuBois 43-39-82 (35th), Logan Wetzel of A-C Valley 42-43-85 (tied for 40th), Garrett Hawkins of Venango Catholic 42-44-86 (tied for 42nd) and Tyler Ruby of Redbank Valley 47-48-95 (47th).In the girls' meet, none of the District Nine girls qualified for the State Tourney.

UN to bolster Somalia peacekeeping force Amisom
The UN Security Council is to vote to increase the African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia by more than 5,000 soldiers, diplomats have said.
The resolution will increase the number of troops in the country to 17,731 from its current level of 12,000.
In Somalia, Ethiopian troops are advancing on the strategic central city of Baidoa, held by al-Shabab militants.
British Prime Minister David Cameron told the BBC the threat from al-Shabab was "substantial".
He was speaking ahead of an international conference on Somalia to be held in London.
"It is based on the fact that al-Shabab is an organisation that has now explicitly linked itself to al-Qaeda, and it encourages violent jihad not just in Somalia but also outside Somalia," Mr Cameron said.
A BBC correspondent in Somalia says the Ethiopians are now about 15km (10 miles) from Baidoa.
He says local people are fleeing the city in large numbers and heading to remote villages where food is scarce.
The armed Islamist group controls many southern and central parts of Somalia, which has been without an effective central government since 1991.
Political solution
Nearly 2.5 million Somalis have been forced from their homes during the conflict - almost a third of the population.
Last year, al-Shabab was forced out of many parts of the capital, Mogadishu, by the African Union forces, along with troops loyal to the UN-backed government. Since then, the group has also lost ground in other areas.
In October, Kenyan troops crossed over the border in pursuit of al-Shabab members it blames for a series of kidnappings in Kenyan territory.
Earlier this month, they captured the key town of Badhadhe, some 180km (110 miles) south of the port of Kismayo.
The BBC's Barbara Plett, at the UN headquarters in New York, says the idea behind the expanded African force is to degrade al-Shabab as a military force and create a space for a political solution to the country's two-decade conflict.
The council resolution sets the African troops the task of moving into new areas of Somalia "to take all necessary measures" with Somali security forces "to reduce the threat posed by al-Shabab and other armed opposition groups", according to a copy of the text seen by AFP news agency.
The African Union mission already in the country is made up of troops from Burundi, Uganda and Djibouti but will take in Kenyan soldiers now fighting in Somalia.
The resolution will also require all UN members to stop trade in charcoal from Somalia, which is causing deforestation and serious environmental damage in the drought-prone country.
Though the government already bans charcoal exports from areas it controls, the trade is thriving in rebel-held areas.
Several ships loaded with charcoal are reported to leave the militant-controlled port of Kismayo each week, most bound for the Gulf states.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Hi, I need a little bit of info on these two Greek manuscripts and have been spinning my wheels trying to get the answers. Any help would be appreciated.
Iliad T Scholia
I need to know the approximate date of this ms. and when they think it was first written. I'm mostly concerned with the actual dating of the ms. itself though.
Acusilaus Historicus
Found in Die Fragmente der griechischen Historiker, commonly abbreviated FGrHist or FGrH (Fragments of the Greek Historians) by Ed. Felix Jacoby. Again, same as above. Also, if anybody can tell me what volume of that work the Acusilaus Historicus is actually located in and where I can read it online if possible.
Any help from anyone of this would be great. Thank you.

|This article is written from a
Real World perspective.
|Joseph Trapanese
Joseph Trapanese is a composer, arranger, and producer. He works in the production of music for films, television, theater and concerts. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
Film and television musicEdit
Trapanese collaborated with Daft Punk (Thomas Bangalter and |Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) on the soundtracks for the Walt Disney Pictures film TRON: Legacy Legacy for two years (from pre-production to completion). His arrangements for the soundtrack have been described as "resolutely grand" and "stirring... ominous, hypnotic". The BBC described the work as "a sophisticated integration of acoustic and electronic instrumentation... majestic… rich, solemn tones… saturnine orchestration and a muscular rhythm".
Original composition projects include Sony Pictures Classics's The Raid (co-composed with Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park), Sony Pictures Television's original web series The Bannen Way, the independent feature Mamitas (featured at the 2011 Los Angeles Film Festival), and numerous scores for live action and animated films from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television. Trapanese contributed musical arrangements to Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, What Happens in Vegas and Traitor. Alongside composer Daniel Licht, Joseph produced and orchestrated the scores for seasons 3 and 4 of Showtime's original series Dexter, and provided orchestrations for seasons 5 and 6.
Joseph scored the Disney XD animated series TRON: Uprising.
Music collaboration with artistsEdit
Following his collaboration with Daft Punk on Tron: Legacy, Joseph continues to work with artists in film scoring as well as album production. For The Bourne Legacy, Trapanese arranged the new orchestral version of Moby's "Extreme Ways".
On October 18, 2011, M83's double-disc album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming released with five tracks arranged by Trapanese.
Joseph's work can be heard on "Intro", "Wait", "Soon, My Friend", "My Tears Are Becoming a Sea", and "Outro". Trapanese co-wrote and co-produced the song "Do or Die" with 3Oh!3 from their forthcoming album.
Music for live theaterEdit
The music Trapanese has produced for theater is performed primarily in New York City, most notably in productions by The Actors Company Theatre. Recent productions that he has provided music for include T.S. Eliot's The Cocktail Party, Arthur Miller's Incident at Vichy, Vaclav Havel's The Memorandum, and Edward Bond's The Sea. His music for the production of Milan Stitt's The Runner Stumbles was described by the New York Times as "Precise and evocative... wistful, ringing melodies".
Awards and honorsEdit
In 2009, Joseph won ASCAP's Harold Arlen Film and Television Award, and won the first annual Jerry Goldsmith Award from UCLA in 2007. His concert music has been performed by Eighth Blackbird, The United States Air Force Band, and conducted by Alexander Mickelthwate and Vince Mendoza.
Trapanese completed his bachelor's degree in Composition at the Manhattan School of Music, and later an M.A. in Music for Visual Media at UCLA, with support from the Henry Mancini fund. His tutors include Giampaolo Bracali, Bruce Broughton, Paul Chihara, Roger Bourland, Jack Smalley, and Martin Bresnick, and he also engaged in brief studies with Louis Andriessen, Aaron Jay Kernis, Julia Wolfe, Mark Snow, and Ira Newborn. From 2008-2011, Joseph taught the Electronic Music and Composition curriculum at UCLA's Herb Alpert School of Music.
