Chantilly, VA 20153-6144
info@fillesduroi.org

The filles du roi, or King's Daughters, were some 770 women who arrived in the colony of New France (Canada) between 1663 and 1673, under the financial sponsorship of King Louis XIV of France. Most were single French women and many were orphans. Their transportation to Canada and settlement in the colony were paid for by the King. The filles du roi were part of King Louis XIV's program to promote the settlement of his colony in Canada. Some 737 of these women married and the resultant population explosion gave rise to the success of the colony. Most of the millions of people of French Canadian descent today, both in Quebec and the rest of Canada and the USA (and beyond!), are descendants of one or more of these courageous women of the 17th century.
The pleas of the colonists of New France for assistance in their struggle with the Iroquois were answered in 1665 with the arrival of the first French regular troops in Canada, the Carignan-Salières Regiment. Between June and September 1665, some 1200 soldiers and their officers arrived in Quebec, under the leadership of Lt. General Alexander de Prouville, Sieur de Tracy. Over 450 of these troops remained in the colony, many of whom married the newly arrived filles du roi. Most persons of French Canadian descent can claim one or more of these brave soldiers as ancestors.

Last week, five of Canada's top journalists came to MaRS for our first-ever MaRS Media Mashup: Pitching the Press event in the MaRS Studio.
The Media Mashup Panel by MaRS MediaEleven MaRS clients across all practices presented their two-minute verbal pitches to the distinguished panel of journalists, moderated by Wendy Bryan, former CTV producer and current senior advisor, new media and communications for the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment.
Dan Verhaeghe, columnist for Techvibes.com.
The interactive session included a panel discussion and interactive Q-and-A session with each startup after their pitch. The startups gained a better sense of which angles work best for some of Canada's leading media outlets, as well as story ideas.
The five panellists also offered some dos and don'ts for startups interested in obtaining media coverage.


OKLAHOMA CITY, January 25, 2019: Oklahoma City-based Presbyterian Health Foundation is kicking off its first grant cycle of the New Year by awarding more than $1.4 million dollars in bridge, equipment and symposium grants to support medical research discoveries at both Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
Over the past several years, Oklahoma has ranked near the bottom in its overall health compared to others states in the nation. According to an annual report from America's Health Rankings, the state fell from 43rd to 47th in 2018.
While the bad news about Oklahoma's health rankings has been consistent, many of the projects underway on the Oklahoma Health Center's campus offer hope for improvement. Several of the projects are tackling chronic health conditions including obesity and autoimmune disorders, among others, in an attempt to achieve results that will help the state move up in the rankings.
One funded project at the OU Health Sciences Center aims to study maternal obesity and its relationship with breastmilk and infant growth, an important area of public health interest for Oklahoma's mothers. This multi-investigator project will work in collaboration with investigators from the University of Minnesota. The goal is to support women and infants during a critical perinatal period to prevent obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Another funded project underway at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation aims to answer questions about Sjögren's syndrome, a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks its own saliva and tear-producing cells, resulting in dry mouth and dry eyes. This syndrome often occurs with other disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
Funds will also support a convening of "The Dopamine Club," an established day-long symposium concentrating on motivated behavior associated with the brain region called the basal ganglia. This will be the first time the symposium will be offered in Oklahoma.
Presbyterian Health Foundation has a long history of supporting the important research of both OMRF and OU Health Sciences Center, and is committed to seeing its many projects translate into real health discoveries that will improve the lives of all Oklahomans in the coming years.


The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a key component of the federal government's effort to limit the damage and financial impact of floods, but it has not generated sufficient revenues to pay claims. Insuring property that is vulnerable to natural disasters exposes the federal government to financial risks.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has been on GAO's High Risk List since 2006. As of August 2016, the NFIP owed $23 billion in borrowed funds to the Department of Treasury and is unlikely to generate sufficient revenues to repay these funds. This lack of sufficient revenue highlights what have been structural weaknesses in how the program is funded.
The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 contained provisions to help strengthen the financial solvency of the program, including phasing out some discounted insurance premiums. However, in 2014 Congress enacted the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014, which reinstated some premium subsidies and slowed down some premium rate increases from the Biggert-Waters Act.
and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's management of NFIP.

Low cost airline Jambojet has launched flights to Wajir town.
Its first flight on the route is expected to take off from Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on February 14.
The airline's executives said they are targeting domestic travellers comprising traders, investors, government workers and employees of local and international aid agencies in the region.
"We are confident that our product will appeal greatly to government, business and leisure travellers alike," said Jambojet chief executive Willem Hondius.
Mr Hondius said the fleet expansion drive has enabled the airline to expand its scheduled operations and grow the number of destinations adding the airline is expecting an additional aircraft in mid-February this year.
Earlier in the month, the budget airline increased frequencies across all its routes in the country in an effort to offer additional flight choices to its customers.

Steam Broadcast for Super Dungeon Maker
RoboStreamer is proud to host the Steam Store Broadcast for Super Dungeon Maker! Although there's no live stream currently active, you can still visit their Steam Store page. This page will update automatically once a Steam Broadcast is initiated through RoboStreamer for Super Dungeon Maker.
Super Dungeon Maker is developed and published by FIRECHICK.
Super Dungeon Maker
The benefits of using RoboStreamer for this Steam Broadcast
FIRECHICK chose to use RoboStreamer to host a Steam Broadcast for Super Dungeon Maker on their Steam Store Page. The broadcast was streamed from a pre-recorded video file that was uploaded to RoboStreamer and streamed in a loop. RoboStreamer allows for the easy upload of videos without any size limit and the ability to keep streaming them without any time limit. This eliminates the need for running OBS on your own machine, saving time and money, and reducing energy costs.
Create a Steam Broadcast for your own game
It's easy: Simply create a free RoboStreamer account and upload your video file. You can then create a Steam Broadcast by adding your upload key. RoboStreamer is designed to make streaming your Steam Broadcast as simple as possible. It's even more beneficial for publishers as they can manage the Steam Broadcasts of multiple Steam Games from one place.
How is RoboStreamer competitive to OBS Studio?
Overall, RoboStreamer is a great option for game developers and publishers who want to automate their Steam page broadcasts, stream to multiple pages and do not want to spend time on fiddling with OBS or other streaming tools. RoboStreamer is a paid service that aims to make streaming pre-recorded videos on Steam as simple and efficient as possible, while OBS Studio is a free and open-source software that can be used for various types of live-streaming. RoboStreamer is designed specifically for streaming pre-recorded videos to Steam, and it has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to set up and stream. OBS Studio, on the other hand, is a more general-purpose streaming software that can be used for a variety of platforms and purposes, and it may require more technical knowledge to set up and use. Additionally, RoboStreamer streams the video "as is" and does not require any real-time modifications or re-encoding, which can use high amounts of CPU and memory resources. OBS Studio, on the other hand, does require re-encoding the video on the fly, which can consume more resources but can allows for real-time modifications such as overlays or chat messages. Another advantage of RoboStreamer is that it runs on cloud-based servers with fast and stable internet connections, which can be more reliable than streaming from a personal home or office network. Ultimately, the decision between using RoboStreamer or OBS Studio will depend on the specific needs and resources of the user.

Respirare: Sebastion Di Mauro
Linda Carroli
Issue 19:3 | September 1999
Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane June 3 - 26
There is something very familiar in Sebastian Di Mauro's installation Respirare (the Italian verb meaning 'to breathe'). In this work, Di Mauro writes his memory of growing up in the Northern Queensland canefields in an extended migrant family. Its precise symbolic language represents the artist's heritage and ethnicity, taking us into the realm of the foreigner. It inscribes a surreal landscape with the toil of migrant labour.
The task performed by Respirare is that of almost literal identification: of people with land; of identity with material; of other with self. Resulting from this identification or translation, Di Mauro constructs a fragrant and cool unnatural landscape: the muted colours and distinctive scents of raw sugar, olive oil and carpet underlay merge in the semi-lit room.
He prepares the ground for a 'transformation' of sorts, an allegorical representation of both the migrant's journey across new territory and the migrant's position in that space. Carpet underlay covers the floor. Across this, mounds of sugar have been randomly formed. Each mound contains a well of olive oil. Gradually, the olive oil seeps through the sugar, threatening through time to soak and stain the underlay. A poignant narrative emerges, made explicit in the biographical vignettes written in charcoal on the walls. These are written in Sicilian, not readily available to the English-reading viewer.
While Di Mauro is generously sharing personal and intimate memories, reconstructing his experience as a second generation Australian, he is also withholding. This is a landscape which belies its simplicity, formed of complex subjective impulses and memories. At first, this work seemed to succumb to the trap of nostalgia, of fixing the 'other' in the past. Efi Hatzimanolis (in Sneja Gunew + Anna Yeatman, Feminism and The Politics of Difference, 1993:128) argues that "timing others as the embodiment of the past is, of course, a way of keeping 'them' out while simultaneously suggesting that 'we' gain access to 'our' past through 'them'..."
While his materials are distilled metaphoric motifs, they are cross-culturally loaded and Di Mauro appropriates them for his own ends, creating a clever poetic language. The sugar, a staple of Australian cuisine, is the migrant's dolce vita of hard work. Olive oil, now commonly used in Australia, references his cultural heritage. The black charcoal refers to the black clothes of mourning and the underlay is the country, the common ground of Australians. While both the artist's imagery and his language are present, they appear as barricaded zones. Here are edibles which are not for eating or tasting, language which is not for comprehending, writing which is not for reading, light which is not for seeing, an other whose authenticity cannot be scrutinised.
These non-sequiturs are obstacles in negotiating this place, of making sense: incomprehensible exclusions and assertions of an 'othered' experience. Subsequently, 'we' do not gain access to 'our' past through this 'other'. The artist has provided only qualified access to the most intimate of places, making explicit that the other is not always available for consumption. Through Respirare, unpalatable stereotypes are displaced and resisted.
While Respirare may present as a difficult terrain to negotiate in a narrative sense, it is steeped in tradition: not only the cultural traditions of Di Mauro's familial world, but the aesthetic and elite traditions of Australian landscape painting and minimalism. Subsequently, there is an uncanny quality about Respirare. It has a strange, almost eerie familiarity, yet for most, it is an unfamiliar experience through which authenticity is sought. Susan Stewart (On Longing: Narratives of the Miniature, the Gigantic, the Souvenir, the Collection, 1993:22) writes that through narrative or representation, the text "not only has lost the authenticity of lived experience - it has lost the authenticity of authorial voice as well. Who is speaking? It is the voice of abstraction, a voice which proclaims its absence with each word." In this respect, the viewer does not, and probably cannot identify with the content of the artwork, namely the artist's experience. Rather, the viewer identifies with or experiences the 'inauthentic' mediation of that content, the material presence of both the catalogue essay and the artwork.
Respirare makes apparent the nonsense of assimilation, which has dominated migration policy for most of this century: the olive oil is not absorbed by the sugar. Similarly this almost imperceptible process is the means by which the cultural landscape of this country continues to be transformed.

This study was conducted to investigate nutritional aspects of reproduction in female Buffleheads (Bucephala albeola) and Barrow's Goldeneyes (Bucephala islandica) breeding in central British Columbia in 1993 - 95. Mean egg laying interval (Ò SE) for Buffleheads was 48.36 Ò 2.35 hr, which was similar to that of Barrow's Goldeneyes that laid, on average, every 45.32 Ò 1.40 hr. As a consequence of slower rates of egg production, daily energetic costs of reproduction in female Buffleheads and Barrow's Goldeneyes, evaluated relative to their basal metabolic requirements, are among the lowest documented for ducks. Patterns of lipogenesis differed between female Buffleheads and Barrow's Goldeneyes, but both species catabolized somatic fat during egg production. Buffleheads maintained stable body protein during reproduction, and thus relied exclusively on dietary protein for clutch formation, whereas Goldeneyes catabolized small amounts of somatic protein to produce egg protein during the 1993 breeding season. Use of body protein by a primarily carnivorous duck suggests that protein availability, i.e., invertebrate abundance, in breeding habitats used by Goldeneyes was periodically deficient. Somatic mineral supplied approximately 8% of clutch minerals in Buffleheads and 3% of clutch minerals in Goldeneyes during the 1993 breeding season, but neither species used endogenous minerals for eggshell production in 1994. Size of somatic lipid and protein reserves apparently did not limit clutch size in either Buffleheads or Barrow's Goldeneyes. Furthermore, clutch size was apparently not constrained by size of somatic mineral reserves in Buffleheads. However, body mineral mass was positively related to clutch size in Barrow's Goldeneyes. Thus, from a nutritional perspective, our data suggest that size of mineral reserves may limit clutch size in Barrow' Goldeneyes, whereas relatively low rates of nutrient reserve use indicate that clutch size in Buffleheads may not be constained by size of these reserves.

Live Music with "Raphael Gillardeau", "Andromeda" and "Aldo" on Saturday 1st March 2014 from 8pm at Les Boules Cafe Petanque.
Tonight a French singer with his guitar.
Raphael is a French singer and guitarist. Like many, he started playing guitar as a teenager to appeal to girls, with, of course, a lot of success. He arrived in Asia in 2006, in his luggage, a guitar.
In 2010, he begins a new life in which he gives the music the place it should never have left. He buys new guitars, sings in a French company with which he participated in several concerts at the Wanch and Grappas Cellar. After he left the crew, he followed his own musical way, participating to jam sessions and playing in bars with some particular percussive guitar strummings that give his pop covers a dynamic rendering.
Andromeda is a local HK singer and composer. She originally learnt piano but made her last compositions on a ukulele. she played with some bands and went into the lights thanks to "The Secret Sing" meetup group within which she met Raphael in September.
They'll be accompanied on some tunes with a cajon played by Aldo, a mexican drummer influenced by funk and reggae music, newly arrived in HK and willing to play the most he can!
Raphael est un guitariste chanteur français. Comme beaucoup, il a commencé la guitare à l'adolescence pour plaire aux filles, avec bien sur, beaucoup de succès. Il arrive en Asie en 2006 avec, dans ses bagages, une guitare.
En 2010, il recommence une nouvelle vie dans laquelle il accorde à la musique la place qu'elle n'aurait jamais du quitter. Il rachète des guitares, chante dans une troupe française avec laquelle il participe à plusieurs concerts au Wanch et au Grappas Cellar.
Après avoir quitté l'équipe, il a suivi son propre chemin musical en participant à des jams sessions et jouant dans les bars locaux avec des rythmiques de guitare percussive qui donnent à ses reprises pops un rendu dynamique.
Andromeda est une chanteuse et compositrice Hongkongaise. Elle a commencé par apprendre le piano mais a composé ses dernières chansons sur son ukulele. Elle a déjà joué avec plusieurs groupes sur Hong-Kong mais son expérience de scène a réellement commencé lorsqu'elle a intégré "The Secret Sing", un groupe meetup au sein duquel elle a rencontré Raphael.
Raphael et Andromeda seront accompagnés sur quelques morceaux par un cajon joué par Aldo, un batteur mexicain influencé par le reggae et le funk. Fraichement arrivé sur HK, il est bien décidé à jouer le plus qu'il le peut!

Sheriff's office: Inmate attempted to escape from vehicle on way to court The Larimer County Sheriff's Office says an inmate damaged a seat belt and tried to break out of his restraints while being transported to the jail.

The Larimer County Sheriff's Office is seeking charges against an inmate who they say attempted to escape from a vehicle while being transported to the justice center.
Deputies were transporting Christopher Gleckler, 33, from the Larimer County Jail to the Larimer County Justice Center on May 7 for a court appearance.
During transport, deputies say Gleckler damaged the seat belt buckle and removed a spring, then tried to use the spring to remove his handcuffs. Deputies saw what he was doing and stopped him, according to a news release.
Deputies searched Gleckler when they arrived at the justice center and found he still had the spring.
Deputies are working with the Larimer County District Attorney's Office to file charges of attempt to escape and second-degree possession of contraband. As of Friday morning, no formal charges had been filed against Gleckler by the district attorney in this case.
Jail staff is working directly with the vehicle manufacturers to find a solution for a more secure seat belt buckle, according to a news release. In the meantime, the release stated deputies will continue inspecting seat belts prior to transporting inmates.
Gleckler was initially booked into jail in December and is being held in two cases. In one case stemming from a December 2018 incident, Gleckler faces two charges of first-degree assault and one third-degree assault charge. He also faces one charge of second-degree assault in another case stemming from a March 16 incident, according to court documents.
In 2011, Gleckler was sentenced to eight years in prison for criminal mischief between $1,000 to $20,000 and for two counts of rioting in a detention facility. A few months earlier, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal mischief.
Gleckler is next scheduled to appear in court Aug. 13.
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. Arrests and charges are merely accusations by law enforcement until, and unless, a suspect is convicted of a crime.

Linkin Park Revenge iPhone/iPod Touch App Review
Most of you out there will probably have heard of the Tap Tap Revenge application that has been available for the iPhone and iPod Touch devices for quite some time and if you do, you will know what a great game it is for the devices. Tap Tap revenge is similar to concepts such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band but it was available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Now, there is a new application from the makers of Tap Tap Revenge called Linkin Park Revenge.
Linkin Park Revenge is basically a Linkin Park branded version of the Tap Tap Revenge app. As well as having the branding, it allows you to play a variety of Linkin Park songs in the app and allows you to find out more information about the band. The app has many tracks available to play and you can always purchase more from the app store if you get a little bored. There are enough tracks to keep you entertained for a while however.
Some of you might have heard of the Katy Perry Revenge app and this app is basically the same as that, except for the fact that it is Linkin Park branded instead of Katy Perry. Overall, the app is a lot of fun and is worth the price in the iTunes app store, especially if you are a big fan of Linkin Park.
