That’s what is on the menu at history pub, and this month the topic is “Women and the First World War.” Kimberly Jensen, a Professor of History at Western Oregon University, will share her vast knowledge of the various roles of women in the war. From serving in the military to volunteering at home and abroad, the First World War acted as an opportunity for women to expand their participation as full citizens for the first time. http://www.kennedyschool.com/index.php?loc=57&id=81&eventid=76759

Hastings St., Vancouver, BC.http://www.techincentives.ca/images/main.jpg December 1st: The Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive Program (often referred to as simply SR&ED or SRED) provides tax incentives (in the form of tax credits and/or refund) to Canadian businesses to support applied research and experimental development conducted in Canada. The SR&ED Tax Incentive seminar is a 1-hour seminar that teaches the best practices of successful entrepreneurs.Special guest Richard Moore, a former CRA advisor and SR&ED specialist with over 200 SR&ED claims approved, will guide SR&ED qualifying companies through the complex process of receiving credits and refunds through this multi-billion dollar program. If you have been, and will be, doing leading-edge development and/or experiencing significant technical problems, then you will likely qualify for the Research and Development Tax Credit! Only the company that owns the intellectual property can apply. The work must be performed in Canada by Canadians. The critical qualifying technical issue is whether you generated new knowledge to solve problems that were unresolvable using existing knowledge. Canadian Controlled Corporations in British Columbia receive cash equal to the sum of costs incurred to resolve technically-challenging issues: * 69% of salaries; * 42% of contract payments; * 23% of test equipment (new, not used); * Less 42% of NRC/IRAP grants or other government assistance. Learn how to take advantage of SR&ED with the information only available through this seminar. Register here: http://www.sfu.ca/uilo/seminars.html For more information on the SR&ED seminar, please email time@sfu.ca. Or visit http://www.techincentives.ca/ to learn more about Richard Moore and SR&ED. The SR&ED Seminar will take place from 11am-Noon on December 1st, 2009, in Suite 7000 SFU Harbour Centre, 515 W.

Jesus Christ Superstar, Starring Ted Neeley, Comes To Keller Auditorium In Portland! The first collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be performed on the professional stage, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is one of the most popular and enduring works ever created for the musical theatre. Featuring such notable songs as Superstar, Everything’s Alright and I Don’t Know How to Love Him, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR earned five TONY nominations. Set in two acts, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR tells the story of the final seven days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. SUPERSTAR dramatizes Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, the unrest caused by his preaching and popularity, his betrayal by Judas, the trial before Pontius Pilate, and his ultimate crucifixion. Perpetually changing the face of musical theatre JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, will leave audiences captivated by its power. As relevant and timeless as ever, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, the rock opera vision of “the greatest story ever told,” is perhaps more potent in today’s troubled world than when it was first produced. Now, for the new millennium, this magnificent story comes once again vividly to the stage with Ted Neeley recreating his unforgettable performance. Internationally beloved star Ted Neeley, best known for his Golden Globe nominated role as Jesus in the Norman Jewison film of SUPERSTAR will be headlining this tour of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. While Ted has enjoyed a distinguished career in resident theatres throughout America, appearing in a wide variety of productions from Hair to the works of Samuel Beckett he is world renowned for the title role in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Creating a fan base that borders on a cult-like phenomenon, this production heralds the long awaited triumphant return of Ted Neeley in the title role of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.
