http://examiningpublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2012/04/rise-of-electronic-music-from-electro.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. The Rise of Electronic Music: From Electro to Trance. Music evolves dramatically every couple of decades. What is popular now was only developing fifteen years ago, and what was popular then was only developing fifteen years before that. However, the change from one music genre to the next is often met with resilience. Now where are we today? This era was led by pop, hip pop, rap, and alternative rock. But once again, where are we today? Los Angeles responded to Sasha’s dea...

The Diasporan: The Unconstitutional Bill
http://thediasporanjournal.blogspot.com/2012/04/unconstitutional-bill.html
Saturday, April 7, 2012. The public denial of the Holocaust is a criminal offense in France. The Armenian Genocide bill, however, which calls for a similar law on behalf of Armenians in France, was determined unconstitutional. The passing of the bill in France would stop Turkey from exporting its denial laws. The denial of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey is seen as an insult to “Turkishness” and is treated as a criminal offense under their penal code. The difference here, however, is ...There is no doubt...

The Enlightened Wanderer: Why are Gas Prices so High?
http://theenlightenedwanderer.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-are-gas-prices-so-high.html
Saturday, March 17, 2012. Why are Gas Prices so High? Recently I can across an Baltimore Sun article called, “The Extra Dollars You’re Paying at the Pump are Going to Wall Street Speculators”. In the article it stated that the reason that gas prices are going up is that, speculators in wall street are driving up the prices, they say that this is what happened into 2008 as well. Now I do not agree with that opinion but I do agree that the recent activity may have been caused by. Demand for oil isn't risin...

The Diasporan: Schindler's List... for Armenia
http://thediasporanjournal.blogspot.com/2012/04/new_20.html
Friday, April 20, 2012. Schindler's List. for Armenia. There have been endless discussions regarding Steven Spielberg and a proposed film on the topic of the Armenian Genocide. The articles were shared within the Armenian community and many were grateful that such a project was finally coming together.

Was a touching film on the tragedies of the Holocaust &#...

The Diasporan: This Film Will Be Subtitled
http://thediasporanjournal.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-2.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. This Film Will Be Subtitled. The increasing difficulties that Armenian national film culture faces – in particular, a lack of resources and finances – is an obstacle that prevents us from creating films. There are, however, other difficulties that keep us from sharing the films we already have with the rest of the world. In this sense, these problems are self-inflicted. There are a number of revival theatres that program and screen films of all cultures. There are film festiva...
