This e-mail is a synopsis of the talk that Rosa Berroa and Charles Brown had on Wednesday October 7th. In which various concerning issues were made brought to light namely the amount of courtesy letters we have received over the years. The reason we are sending this is to recap the discussion and to clarify what we feel has transpired over time. As it seems us, one or more HOA members have taken a special 'liking' to our family over the past few years that we have been here. My family and I feel bombard with various courtesy letters that we have accumulated over the span of 3 years, and some of those courtesy letters are for impending violations, in where we are being informed about things we can and can not do, and that we had to fix before we received a fine if it continued, but yet individuals throughout the complex are also guilty of the same thing. The only exception is, that they are still allowed, or continue doing the same thing we get courtesy letters for.…
Australian theatre practitioners use various performance styles, techniques and dramatic conventions to help portray their ideas to their audiences and make them feel a particular way to the ideas presented in a play. Without the use of these styles, techniques and conventions it wouldn’t be possible for the practitioners to emphasise their ideas. In the play ‘Ruby Moon’ Matt Cameron the playwright uses various techniques such as symbolism, transformational acting, cyclical and episodic dramatic structure and a fractured fairytale.…
In Spring 1960, Ruby Bridges was one of several African-Americans in New Orleans to take a test to determine which children would be the first to attend integrated schools. Six students were chosen, however, two students decided to stay at their old school, and three were transfered to Mcdonough. Ruby was the only one assigned to William Frantz. Her father initially was reluctant, but her mother felt strongly that the move was needed not only to give her own daughter a better education, but to "take this step forward ... for all African-American children."[4]…
Thank you for the information on Ruby Payne's work this is my first time hearing about her. Well, I think she is right, people in poverty are concern about things on a daily basis, things that many of us take for granted, such as "what I'm going to give my family to eat? or how can I make money to buy my kids the school supplies they need, clothes and shoes?. I agree the survival mentality kicks in when they don't have the means to support themselves and their families. Thank you again for the information.…

Women proved themselves in the workforce by assuming the powerful and enlightening role of Rosie the Riveter. The iconic image of a woman wearing a red bandana, her sleeve rolled up boasting her muscles, with the slogan “You Can Do It” began as a propaganda campaign that eventually became one of the most well-known symbols for women in the World War II era and today. in 1943 Rosie the Riveter was first introduced as a song and made famous by the musician James Kern “Kay” Kyser. The first rendition of Rosie the Riveter was created by Norman Rockwell who had posed her like the Prophet Isaiah with her foot rested on a copy of Hitler’s Mein Komph. After the image was found on newsstands, media companies created Rockwell’s image into a propaganda campaign. However, due to copyright restrictions, the image was instead adopted by women for the feminist movement. Rosie the Riveter was not designed to represent one woman, but all the women who were taking part in the workforce. Nearly 50% of women workers were employed in defense industries. Rosie the Riveter was a symbol that…

Agatha Christie: Queen of the Mystery Genre Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Miller of Torquay, Devon, England. Researchers debate on the year in which she was born, but it was September 15 in either 1890 or 1891. Her father was an American who lived with his British wife in Torquay. At the time, her parents did not realize that their daughter would one day become a famous English author, writing an insatiable amount of novels and plays. Her focus was mainly on the mystery genre of literature. She was married two times, and bore one daughter by her first husband. In 1971, five years before her death, Christie was given the prestigious title of a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. She died January 12, 1976 at Wallingford in Oxfordshire (Prichard www.mysteries.com/birthday/). Agatha Miller was born the third child to her parents, Fred and Mary Miller. She grew up in Torquay, Devon, England. She was taught at home by her mother and several tutors and governesses, never attending a real school. As a child, Miller kept herself occupied by inventing games to play with her siblings. Not being around other children besides her siblings made Miller a shy child. She was not outspoken in her thoughts, so she expressed her feelings in music. Later in life, she would turn to writing as a means of expression (Yaffe BKYaffe@nltl.columbia.edu). Agatha Miller's first husband was Archibald Christie, who was a World War I fighter pilot. The newlywed Mrs. Christie worked as a nurse while her husband was off at war. Through her nursing experiences, she learned of many new drugs on the market. These drugs fascinated her, thus prompting her to use them as factors in several of her Graham 2 works. Her marriage to Christie lasted only twelve years, and they were divorced in 1926. Not long after her divorce from her first husband, Christie disappeared without a trace for a short period of ten days. She was found at a resort hotel, claiming to be a…
