The French occupation of Tunisia''' began in spring 1881, and would only end with the independence of Tunisia in 1956. The occupation was the culmination of numerous smaller intrigues and actions.'''

CASPAR - Cultural, Artistic and Scientific knowledge for Preservation, Access and Retrieval''' - is a digital preservation project funded in part by the European Union. It is an Integrated Project running from April 1, 2006 to Sept 30, 2009, and is part of the Sixth Framework Programme (Priority IST-2005-2.5.10, "Access to and preservation of cultural and scientific resources").'''

'''CASPAR brings together a consortium covering important digital holdings, with the appropriate extensive scientific, cultural and creative expertise, together with commercial partners, and world leaders in the field of information preservation. This Integrated Project is led by Dr David Giaretta of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), who played a central role in the development of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS).'''

The Sack of Rome''' on 5 May 1527 was a military event carried out by the mutinous troops of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in Rome, then part of the Papal States. It marked a crucial imperial victory in the conflict between Charles I of Spain Holy Roman Emperor, and the League of Cognac (1526–1529) — the alliance of France, Milan, Venice, Florence and the Papacy.'''

September 24, 2009

The Italian War of 1542–46''' was a conflict late in the Italian Wars, pitting Francis I of France and Suleiman I of the Ottoman Empire against the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Henry VIII of England. The course of the war saw extensive fighting in Italy, France, and the Low Countries, as well as attempted invasions of Spain and England; but, although the conflict was ruinously expensive for the major participants, its outcome was inconclusive.'''

'''The war arose from the failure of the Truce of Nice, which ended the Italian War of 1536–38, to resolve the long-standing conflict between Charles and Francis—particularly their conflicting claims to the Duchy of Milan. Having found a suitable pretext, Francis once again declared war against his perpetual enemy in 1542. Fighting began at once throughout the Low Countries; the following year saw the Franco-Ottoman alliance's attack on Nice, as well as a series of maneuvers in northern Italy which culminated in the bloody Battle of Ceresole. Charles and Henry then proceeded to invade France, but the long seiges of Boulogne-sur-Mer and Saint-Dizier prevented a decisive offensive against the French.'''

'''Charles came to terms with Francis by the Treaty of Crépy in late 1544, but the death of Francis's younger son, the Duke of Orléans—whose proposed marriage to a relative of the Emperor was the cornerstone of the treaty—made it moot less than a year afterwards. Henry, left alone but unwilling to return Boulogne to the French, continued to fight until 1546, when the Treaty of Ardres finally restored peace between France and England. The deaths of Francis and Henry in early 1547 left the resolution of the Italian Wars to their heirs.'''

 * The French Republican Calendar or French Revolutionary Calendar was a calendar proposed during the French Revolution, and used by the French government for about 12 years from late 1793 to 1805, and for 18 days in 1871 in Paris.

 * The Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) of ancient China experienced contrasting periods of economic prosperity and decline. It is normally divided into three periods: Western Han (206 BCE – 9 CE), the Xin Dynasty (9–23 CE), and Eastern Han (25–220 CE). The Xin Dynasty, established by the former regent Wang Mang, formed a brief interregnum between lengthy periods of Han rule. Following the fall of Wang Mang, the Han capital was moved eastward from Chang'an to Luoyang. In consequence, historians have named the succeeding eras Western Han and Eastern Han respectively.

 * The Han economy was defined by significant population growth, increasing urbanization, unprecedented growth of industry and trade and government experimentation with nationalization. In this era, the levels of minting and circulation of coin currency grew significantly, forming the foundation of a stable monetary system. The Silk Road facilitated the establishment of trade and tributary exchanges with foreign countries across Eurasia, many of which were previously unknown to the people of ancient China. The imperial capitals of both Western-Han (Chang'an), and of Eastern-Han (Luoyang), were among the largest cities in the world at the time, in both population and area. Here, government workshops manufactured furnishings for the palaces of the emperor and produced goods for the common people. The government oversaw the construction of roads and bridges, which facilitated official government business and encouraged commercial growth. Under Han rule, industrialists, wholesalers and merchants—from minor shopkeepers to wealthy businessmen—could engage in a wide range of enterprises and trade in the domestic, public, and even military spheres.

 * In the early Han period, rural peasant farmers were largely self-sufficient, but they began to rely more heavily upon commercial exchanges with the wealthy landowners of large agricultural estates. Many peasants fell into debt and were forced to become either hired laborers or rent-paying tenants of the land-owning classes. The Han government continually strove to provide economic aid to poor farmers, who had to compete with powerful and influential nobles, landowners, and merchants. The government tried to limit the power of these wealthy groups through heavy taxation and bureaucratic regulation. Emperor Wu's (r. 141–87 BCE) government even nationalized the iron and salt industries; however, these government monopolies were repealed during Eastern Han. Increasing government intervention in the private economy during the late 2nd century BCE severely weakened the commercial merchant class. This allowed wealthy landowners to increase their power and to ensure the continuation of an agrarian-dominated economy. The wealthy landlords eventually dominated commercial activities as well, maintaining control over the rural peasants—upon whom the government relied for tax revenues—military manpower, and public works labor. By the 180s CE, economic and political crises had caused the Han government to become heavily decentralized, while the great landowners became increasingly independent and powerful in their communities.

 * The SS Comet was a steamship that operated on the Great Lakes. The Comet was built in 1857 as a wooden-hulled propeller-driven cargo vessel that was soon adapted to carry passengers. She suffered a series of maritime accidents prior to her final sinking in 1875 causing the loss of ten lives. She became known as the only treasure ship of Lake Superior because she carried 70 tons of Montana silver ore when she sank. The first attempts to salvage her cargo in 1876 and 1938 were unsuccessful. The Comet was finally salvaged in the 1980s when artifacts from the wreck were illegally removed. The artifacts are now the property of the State of Michigan and are on display as a loan to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. The fate of her silver ore cargo is unknown. Her wreck is now protected by the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve as part of an underwater museum.

 * The Battle of Myriokephalon, also known as the Myriocephalum, or Miryakefalon Savaşı in Turkish, was a battle between the Byzantine Empire and the Seljuk Turks in Phrygia on September 17, 1176. It was a serious reverse for the Byzantine forces and was to be the final, unsuccessful, effort by the Byzantines to recover the interior of Anatolia from the Seljuk Turks..

September 16, 2009

 * The Hungarian Revolutionary War was a conflict between Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Soviet Hungary, shortly after the end of World War I which lasted from March 28 1919 to June 4 1920.

 * Forensic accounting is the specialty practice area of accountancy that describes engagements that result from actual or anticipated disputes or litigation. "Forensic" means "suitable for use in a court of law", and it is to that standard and potential outcome that forensic accountants generally have to work. Forensic accountants, also referred to as forensic auditors or investigative auditors, often have to give expert evidence at the eventual trial. All of the larger accounting firms, as well as many medium-sized and boutique firms, have specialist forensic accounting departments. Within these groups, there may be further sub-specializations: some forensic accountants may, for example, just specialize in insurance claims, personal injury claims, fraud, construction, or royalty audit.

September 12, 2009

 * The Bagratuni Kingdom of Armenia, also known as Bagratid Armenia, was an independent state established by prince Ashot I Bagratuni in 885 following nearly two centuries of foreign domination of Greater Armenia under Arab Umayyad and 'Abbasid rule. With the two contemporary powers in the region, the 'Abbasids and Byzantines, too preoccupied to concentrate their forces in subjugating the people of the region and the dissipation of several of the Armenian nakharar noble families, Ashot was able to assert himself as the leading figure of a movement to dislodge the Arabs from Armenia.

September 11, 2009

 * The Diocletianic Persecution (or Great Persecution) was the last and most severe persecution of Christians in the Roman empire. In 303, Emperor Diocletian and his colleagues Maximian, Galerius, and Constantius issued a series of edicts rescinding Christians' legal rights and demanding they comply with traditional religious practices. Later edicts targeted the clergy and demanded universal sacrifice, ordering all inhabitants to sacrifice to the gods. The persecution varied in intensity across the empire—weakest in Gaul and Britain, where only the first edict was applied, and strongest in the Eastern provinces. Persecutionary laws were nullified by different emperors at different times, but Constantine and Licinius's Edict of Milan (313) has traditionally marked the end of the persecution.

September 10, 2009

 * The first Constitution of the Maldives was proclaimed on December 2, 1932, under the rule of Sultan Muhammad Shamsuddeen III. He issued a decree on March 19, 1931, to compile a written Constitution. In 1930 Bernard H. Bourdill, the then acting Governor of Ceylon, visited Malé to advise the Sultan and the government of the Maldives in drafting of the First Constitution. His visit was made at the request of the Maldivian Government.  The compiled Constitution contained 92 articles. It took exactly 1 year, 8 months and 22 days from the Sultan's decree to draft a Constitution to the ratification of the document.

 * The Berm of Western Sahara (also known as the Moroccan Wall) is an approximately 2,700 km-long defensive structure, mostly a sand wall (or "berm"), running through Western Sahara and the southeastern portion of Morocco. It acts as a separation barrier between the Moroccan-controlled areas and the Polisario-controlled section of the territory that lies along its eastern and southern border.

September 8, 2009

 * The Rebel (French title: L'Homme révolté) is a 1951 book-length essay by Albert Camus, which treats both the metaphysical and the historical development of rebellion and revolution in societies, especially Western Europe. Camus relates writers and artists as diverse as Epicurus and Lucretius, the Maqruis de Sade, Georg Wilhelm Friederich Hegel, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Friederich Nietzsche, and André Breton in an integrated, historical portrait of man in revolt.

User:JaylanHaley/WS3 2009

Welcome Letter
Greetings, I'm Jaylan Haley. I recently graduated from Norwich University's School of Graduate Studies with a Master of Arts in Diplomacy, specializing in International Relations ... man that was a mouthful. Needless to say, just prior to graduation I considered ways that I could share lessons that I have learned as an undergrad, as a grad student (hopefully soon to be PhD candidate), and in life. I ventured out onto the Web searching for opportunities among which, was teaching. Well, I looked for universities and colleges throughout the Sacramento area and other places, only to find that many institutions only accept PhDs as instructors, with the exception of one: Wikiversity.

Enthralled by the opportunity, I began to delve into the School of Political Science as politics are my passion. I was appalled at the state of the school and the university in general. The school's main page, divisions, research centers and courses were badly outdated and lacked clarity so I came to a conclusion: this is a worthwhile venture and it deserved my attention. Well, indeed it needed a little attention, as a matter of fact, the School of Political Science in addition to the Social Sciences Portal needed a lot of attention to attract the students and Wikipedian Scholars needed to make the system work. This was the canonizing moment for my experience with Wikiversity and the spark that would spawn the Wikiversity Social Sciences Summit 2009(WS3 2009).

I'm sure that I'm not the only Wikipedian Scholar who wants to provide free, limitless courses of study and research to the world. For those of us that choose, this is our moment. Wikiversity offers us the opportunity to transform a dull concept: learning, into one of the most interactive and advanced activities for humankind. A little over-the-top, I know, but the idea that anyone that has access to the World Wide Web can learn, in a structured manner, any strain of human knowledge and understanding that they choose, whenever, wherever, and however they want is absolutely astounding. The conundrum is in building a community that distributes the burden of sharing that knowledge and understanding with the world; that is the charter of Wikiversity.

WS3 2009 is designed to bring together the Social Sciences piece of the puzzle such that we can serve as the template upon which other portals can build their models. The program focuses on three basic goals which should be accomplished by September 7, 2010:

 * (1) Provide an undergraduate curriculum, fully populated for at least three schools which can be combined for a basic Social Sciences focus

 * (2) Provide a curriculum assistance package for all Social-Sciences-contributing Wikipedian Scholars which include tools for, at a minimum a:
 * a. Syllabus
 * b. Academic Schedule
 * c. Reference Materials (i.e. books, magazine articles, etc.)
 * d. Wikipedian Scholar's Lounge

 * (3) Creatively advocate the benefits and efficiencies of Wikiversity's Social Sciences Portal to both students and potential Wikipedian Scholars

Why September 7, 2010? Because at that very moment, schools all around the world will begin their fall semesters and so should Wikiversity. The accomplishment of these goals cannot be taken-up by one person. And, you might say, well Jaylan you set the goals so ... good luck. But I set the goals with the hope that there are others out there who have a passion for history or anthropology or psychology as I have a passion for politics and that together we can achieve these goals. None of us knows what the next year will bring but if we do nothing we can be sure that for Wikiversity's Social Sciences Portal, it will mean another year of barrenness. So, if you're interested, if you want to take up the charge, here's the plan.

From September 22, 2009 - September 26, 2009 I'm asking that as many people as possible join the discussion about how we can achieve the aforementioned goals and develop the Social Sciences Portal as much as possible. During that time, there will be discussion groups in the various links of the agenda where people can post their comments about different ideas that are pitched for the summit. The way this works is that under each agenda topic I will start off with a major subject area on which we need to focus to achieve our goals. We will then use that page as a user talk page, but one that is open to the community. The pages will hopefully be around for years to come as each year, these summits will be held to achieve the next milestones for the Social Sciences Portal.

Perhaps one of the biggest items will be Wiki Presentations. For the Wiki Presentations section. anyone can link an article that essentially doubles as an essay about a particular topic of interest for that year. This year's Wiki Presentations topic is: Wikiversity's Social Sciences Portal 2012, Where Do You See The Portal In 3 Years? Individuals will go to your page to make comments and at the end of the summit, I will compile all of the major theses and summarize them for a run-down on a separate page. These presentations will allow some of the more involved members to begin a discussion about the future of the Social Sciences Portal.

I know all of this stuff is extremely exciting but it is going to take a tremendous amount of work and an even more tremendous amount of patience from the community. This is the first time something like this has been done on Wikiversity, to my knowledge, and I hope it will be something that we can continue into the future. If you have any ideas about how to make this experience more fruitful or if you have ideas about how the summit should unfold, please leave comments, suggestions, and concerns in the discussion page. With that, I hope to see you all at the summit, or perhaps before that time.

 * Cheers!

Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you.
 * Best! Stevenarntson

Portal talk:Social Sciences/Categories

If we put every single department from every single division in the listing we're going to be dealing with literaly a hundred different things on the side. Users can simply look for their respective division and then go within those divisions to get to their different departments. If everything is cluttered, then we lose the practicality and utility of the page.--JaylanHaley 06:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No objections to that here. The Jade Knight (d'viser) 06:32, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I like what you did here with the categories, but couldn't we just make one big Social Sciences category and feature that? It need not replace the School listing (but I suppose it could, if we wanted).  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 01:52, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Setting up a voluntary organisation

At some point, we need to just get on with it! Feel free to add details to this document.

Why?

 * Are you clear about what the proposed organisation is going to do?
 * Have you checked whether there is somebody already doing this?
 * Are they doing it so differently to how you would want?
 * Would it be better to get involved to:
 * a) see if there are good reasons behind this, or
 * b) try to persuade them to change their ways?

 * Or is there an organisation which could perhaps develop or add to its work?
 * Setting up and running any organisation takes time and effort that might be better put into the frontline activity.

How?
There are many ways of constituting an organisation (establishing a body with formal rules). Consider the various questions posed.

Think ahead. It is quite technically and legally complex to change status later on. In the early stages it may make sense to stay as informal as possible, but if things start taking off look into registration issues sooner rather than later, to redue the problems.

Take legal advice if you can. This may be available via your local Council of Voluntary Service (CVS), an appropriate umbrella/support body or a law centre. If you can afford to pay, you can try a charity law specialist (see the Legal Services page). However, we have been closely involved with a charity which was was previously very badly advised on constitutional matters by such - they may overcomplicate things.

You may technically be required to register as a charity, e.g. if your activities are of a charitable nature and your annual turnover is above £1000 (England & Wales only). However, many don't and there aren't significant penalties at present. Funders may also require charity registration. (NB the draft Charities Bill, at Sept 04, would make changes to these statements.)

When?
How soon are you likely to hit the need for an annual audit of the accounts? (Check Charity Commission site re charities.) When might you start employing staff, or will the organisation always be volunteer run? When might it end up paying rent on or owning premises? Both of these indicate a need to get limited liability.

Take a look at other pages on the Management, Admin and Finance index to get a flavour of what issues might need to be thought through in the early stages, and what to come back to later. We have tried to give practical advice relevant to the smaller organisation, and indicate what only concerns larger ones, but there is still a lot here. The start-up period can get bogged down - try to strike a balance so that initial enthusiasm for your cause doesnt evaporate. A pragmatic, staged, approach is probably best.

What?
What expertise do you amongst those already involved, and what do you need to 'buy in' somehow? For example, accountancy, management, admin, the particular activity you are undertaking. There may be legal requirements here, depending on your type of activity and type of constitution chosen. What resources are you going to need? Money, premises, equipment, materials. What ways can you get your new organisation noticed where it matters, whether to gain recognition and resources or to influence?

Think
For yourselves, but also bounce ideas off others who aren't so involved. They may see things that you are too close or absorbed to spot. Considered criticism, even when it seems unconstructive, can help separate potential reality from fantasy but can be hard to come by.

Don't get confused by the jargon used, especially as different parts of the sector can have different spins on the same word.

Option Question 1

A 46-year-old school cook developed breathing problems after working with flour in the school kitchen. The room was small with poor ventilation. Her breathing problems became so severe that she could hardly walk. She had to sleep sitting up. Her daily job included dough making in a large mixer. There were no controls for the flour dust. The cook contacted her union, which supported her with a compensation claim on the basis that decent working conditions were not provided. The council admitted that it had not taken sufficient action over the problem despite repeated complaints. The cook became severely asthmatic. She had to retire early on health grounds, and the courts eventually awarded her £200,000 in damages. But the money will not bring back her health. While she was able to move out of town, she rarely leaves the house. She faces a very restricted lifestyle. 1.	Critically evaluate the root causes leading up to the event and what immediate actions might be appropriate following the event. 2.	Write an additional 500 words explaining the references you have used and why.

Option Question 2

A fire-fighter who developed insulin-dependent diabetes was seen by an occupational health (‘work’) doctor to help make arrangements for him to return to work. Once the fire-fighter could show he was managing his diabetes, he was carefully tested on some key tasks (e.g. using breathing apparatus) to check he could do so safely. Blood tests confirmed his sugar levels were stable and he was no more at risk of collapsing than any other fire-fighter. 1.	Critically discuss the measures that might have to be put in place with particular reference to health surveillance, the H&S policy, work task restrictions and precautionary measures to combat hyper or hypo-glycaemia. 2.	Write an additional 500 words explaining the references you have used and why.

User talk:Amilolo~enwikiversity

Hello, I just noticed that u had left ur mark on the talk page of the Tibetan language learning initiative with ur email. Thank you very much. I will send you an email as well as per ur instruction. B9 hummingbird hovering 13:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Amilolo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Amilolo~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:02, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Balancing equations

Equations in chemistry : When two or more reactants react together chemically to produce products then this reaction is called a chemical equation. Eg : NaOH(base) + HCl(acid) --> NaCl(common table salt) + H2O(water) Types of reactions : 1) Combination reactions - When two or more elements or compounds react with each other to form fewer compounds then started is called a combination reaction Eg : 2Mg + O2 ---> 2MgO

2)Decomposition reactions : When only 1 reactant either is heated or electricity is made to pass through it to form two or more products then the reaction is called decomposition reaction. Eg : 2NaCl (on heating) ---> 2Na + Cl2

3)Displacement reactions : When two reactants react such that one ion/radical gets exchanged with another to form a product then the reaction is a single displacement reaction. Eg : Zn + H2SO4 ---> ZnSO4 + H2

i)Double displacement reaction : When two reactants react with eachother such that 2 ions/radicals get exchanged with eachother then the reaction is double displacement reaction Eg : AgNO3 + NaCl ---> AgCl + NaNO3

4)neutralization reaction:An acid reacts with base,in which characteristics properties of both of them are destroyed or neutralized to give salt and water.such reaction is called neutralization reaction.this reation is simply expressed as, acid+base ---> salt+water for Eg:NaOH+HCL ---> NaCL+H2O

Mouza Talib

Under construction Under Construction

Before 1947
Mouza Talib was inhabited by two young men from Khokhar tribe during Raja Ranjit singh rule over punjab, they got married in nearby locality and population went on rise in the following years. In pre-partition era when India was a British colony Hindu Khatri were also living in the village and most of them were land lords with control over business and agriculture and their terms with the other Muslim community were not good like Muslims had to slaughter cows/bulls on their marriages by ensuring Hindu's out of sight to avoid any possible fight as later worship cow.

Partition of 1947
On 14-15 august, 1947 Pakistan & India came into being respectively. Those Hindu Khatris migrated to india leaving behind their property both (residential and agricultural) and it went into the hands of local muslims mainly khokhar's and haral's. The Government of Pakistan asked them to leave this village in advance for the migrants they were expecting to pound in from India and offered them to possess a newly allocated village Khichian near brnala but they declined to do so and consequently had to leave agricultral lands for the migrants maily Gujjars and arain. and by this time the previous offer by the Government for a new village also lapsed. So the locals once again became dependant.

After 1947
Mouza Talib Mouza Talib is a village in District Chiniot on Chak Jhumra road, Punjab, Pakistan. It is in Tehsil Chiniot's Union Council # 13 and is 8-km away from the Faisalabad to Pindi Bhatian Motorway M3 Sahianwala Interchange. Its Latitude is 31° 41' 28.08"N,and Longitude is 73° 0' 59.49"E. The people of Talib use M3 to commute as it is 140 kilometers away from Lahore and 30 kilometers away from Faisalabad.

Nearby towns are Chak Jhumra, Chiniot, Sargodha, Laliyan, Bhavana, Chenab nager, Faisalabad and Pindi Bhattian. By road, Talib is connected to Barnala, Chak Jhumra,and Chiniot.

The most famous things in Talib are Darbar Baba gard Ali and Government Primary school for Boys Girls and Government Middle school for girls.

This village consists of four major families Khokhar, Gujjar, Haral, and Arain mainly plus other supporting casts and this whole multi-ethnic population numbers near 7000. Much of this population is illiterate and conditions of public facilities are poor. A Civil hospital exists three kilometer away from main population area.

Castes
Gujar is the major caste here.

Aasi, Luhar, Mochi, Kumhar, Na'ee, Tarkhan, Maachhi, Muslim Sheikh, and Sheikh casts are also found in Peerwana.Gudgor is the major caste in this village.Almost 80% families belongs to Gudgor Family.Gudgor is a sub-caste of Jut Family.Forefathers of Gudgor Family migrated from Sialkot from "Gudgor" Village in Tehsil Pasrur before independence of Pakistan and settled here.In those days this area was rich in plants/jungle.So, they started cutting trees and made land for agriculture purposes.Now there are four villages of Gudgor Family.Peerwana, Jalma'ana, Aa'lniawala and Ramowana.Gudgor Families also live all over the Pakistan.

Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you.
 * Best! Stevenarntson
