mod.html The National Mod was started by An Comunn Gàidhealach, which was founded in 1891 by a small group of Gaelic devotees who were concerned about the decline in the language and culture, and recognised the need for a formal body to promote Gaelic. In 1992, the Mod achieved Royal status (Am Mòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail), and although it is still the main festival of Gaelic arts, there are also several local Mods which take place around the country. Nowadays, the Mod lasts a week, and consists of over 130 competitions, including musical competitions for voice and traditional instruments, as well as the recitation and composition of prose and poetry. www.smo.uhi.ac.uk /canan/gaidhlig-97/mod.html

2001-4 She shows how, in postcolonial Canada, the nation is sexualized around female reproduction and fur, which is both a crucial factor in economic development, and a powerful symbol through which the nation itself is conceived and commodified. She looks at the often unspoken assumptions about class, nation, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation that underscored both media images (like those of 1960s space missions) and social policies of the mass-produced suburb. The significance and diversity of the concept of intertextuality is illustrated by detailed case studies including television advertising, current affairs broadcasting, music television, popular film and some print media, as well as a study of texts produced by audiences themselves. www.library.uiuc.edu /cmx/books/2001-4/2001-4.htm

Renewable Energy Today: Royal Society Questions MoD's Wind Farm Objections The Royal Society, "the independent scientific academy of the U.K. dedicated to promoting excellence in science," recently warned that the federal government's targets for developing renewable energy in the U.K. may be at risk if the Ministry of Defence (MoD) continues to oppose new wind farms. Specifically, the Royal Society said British Wind Energy Association data reveal the MoD objected to 48 percent of pre-applications to build land-based wind farms in 2003, and 34 percent of pre-applications in 2002. The Royal Society said the letter also inquired what remains to be done and whether there are issues that still need to be addressed before the current MoD-imposed wind farm development restrictions can be reviewed. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0OXD/is_2004_March_5/ai_114022836

The Royal National Mod - What does everyone think about it??? If the whole Mod organisation is responsible not only for the Royal National Mod, but alsothe local Mods, then it has to be a good thing. Comparing Gaelic to French or German strikes me as a wee bit hyperbolic...in both cases the entire nation is fluent in their native tongue (and the government of both has a fair amount to say about what words enter the language) and English is used as an international second language. The Mod should strive to offer a product which meets the needs of those who attend and watch/ listen to it on tv/ radio. www.footstompin.com /forum?threadid=22778
