1. Amarc International Women's Day Internet Broadcast--March 8
Posted by: "George Lessard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] themediamentor

Dear All,
This is Zoe, the new intern at the international secretariat in Montreal.
I?m very happy to be working with all of you on the March 8 broadcast for
International Women?s Day.
This email is just to remind you that the March 8th is just around the
corner. For the third year the Amarc-WIN is organizing a special Internet
broadcast. The international secretariat will be coordinating the event,
as in past years. The broadcast will consist of pre-recorded audio
material (rather than a live broadcast) which will then be streamed from
the March 8th website.
As we understand the theme for this year will be on the UNSCR 1325 charter
on women, peace and security prepared by the International Women?s Tribune
Centre. The theme as well as the simplified version of the charter will
be listed on the March 8 website in addition to being attached in this
e-mail.
This year we will be making a new web-site which should be up and running
in the next two weeks. It will be dedicated only to March 8, much like
the March 21 website (http://rvfs.amarc.org/). The website will be linked
to the WIN website.
Also, if you know of any community radio stations that show interest in
participating, please let us know.
If any of you have any photos from past AMARC events or otherwise, please
send them to us. We would like to embellish the March 8 website with
pictures of women working in radio.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Zoe Plaugher
Stagiaire, Amarc
Secr?tariat International

NASA's Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms
(THEMIS) aims to resolve one of the oldest mysteries in space physics,
namely to determine what physical process in near-Earth space initiates
the violent eruptions of the aurora that occur during substorms in the
Earth's magnetosphere.
