Victoria Highlanders FC are a Canadian soccer team based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 2. 00. FIFA U- 2. 0 World Cup saw crowds up to 1. USL Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid. The Highlanders organization was a club structure that included a U- 2. The main event for the Victoria Highland Games Association is the annual Highland Games & Celtic Festival. It is currently held over the 3 day weekend of Victoria Day. Victoria Highlanders; Full name: Victoria Highlanders Football Club: Nickname(s) The Highlanders: Founded: 2008: Stadium: Royal Athletic Park Victoria, British Columbia. Highlanders team and a women's program. The Highlanders also co- ordinated an U- 2. Vancouver Island Soccer League teams as a development pool for players ages 1. VICTORIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY ~ WE COVER THE WORLD ~ The Victoria Genealogical Society (VGS) is located in Victoria BC Canada. MISSION: To support and promote family.Highlanders FC players were Canadian CIS and NCAA Division I University and College players, Canadian U2. National Team Players, local Vancouver Island players, as well as imports from around the world. The team played its home games in Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, British Columbia. Owner Alex Campbell folded the team late in January 2. The Highlanders announced on April 1 that they will participate in the 2. Pacific Coast Soccer League Summer season.[citation needed]The team’s colours are white, black, and gold. These colours are the primary colours for the Clan Campbell coats of arms related to club founder Alex Campbell Jr. The heraldic colour white signifies purity and sincerity, gold has the meaning of generosity and glory, while black connotes fidelity and prudence.[4][5][6]The badge consists of a double- headed Celtic swirl, triskele, or triple spiral with a hub of a soccer ball. A triskele is a common artistic symbol used in various cultures around the world, but is usually associated with Celtic art. Due to the symbol's age, the triskele is a symbol meaning a number of different things to different people and there is no absolute, widely agreed upon meaning. For some it is a symbol of the holy trinity such as on Pictish sculptured stones or in the Book of Kells. For others a symbol of pre- Celtic paganism representing land, sea, and sky, or the idea of spirit, mind, and body, or the deity Manann. ГЎn. Manann. ГЎn is a sea deity associated with the weather and mists between the worlds, uncertainty, the unknown, adventure, and transformation. Still others associate the symbol with the 3. BCE tomb of Newgrange and harmony. Finally others associate the Celtic triskele as a symbol of female power, of the transition and evolution of body, mind, and spirit embodied in the maid, mother, and crone or the cycle of pregnancy.[7] The hub, the soccer ball, could symbolize the unity, focus, or expression of the three ideas. The whorls oriented in opposite directions could specify balance.[8]Club Culture[edit]Ownership[edit]With the purchase of season tickets, one also gets a membership in the Victoria Highlanders Supporters Board that administers the fan’s 3. The Supporters Board is a democratic registered non- profit society with limited liability, and all money or other assets belonging to the Supporters Board belong to all members equally. The structure is to facilitate a formalized way to provide feedback, voice opinions, help guide the club’s direction, and expand the club’s membership base.[9] Day- to- day club operations are handled by senior club management.[1. The club has a Highlanders Board of Advisors consisting of Alex Campbell, the general manager, two Supporters Board members, and five business community members. The board of advisors meets quarterly to provide insight and input into the general direction, goals, and objectives of the club.[1. Another 3. 0% share of the club is proposed to be held by local non profit soccer clubs. Agreements in principle have been signed with Lakehill FC, Gorge FC, and Prospect Lake SC.[1. In the US and Canada most professional clubs are just one of many local clubs and community representation on the professional club is not inclusive. Local non- profit community clubs with paid coaches, technical directors, and staff often end up in adversarial commercial competition for facility usage and academy fees for example. In BC, local community clubs are the only full members of the BCSA and some clubs use this player registration monopoly to prevent their players from using outside training.[1. The professional club cannot have all local players accessible to them to scout, include in their club structure, and develop into better players. The professional clubs basically have their own small youth development system that is cut off from much of the area’s other players who play with other clubs and in other leagues. The Vancouver Whitecaps FC separate system outside the BC soccer mainstream is the USSDA, and the BCSA set up the BCSPL partly to make a league structure inclusive to the Whitecaps scouting efforts.[1. Generally given the profile of the MLS Whitecaps, BC youth soccer clubs consider the Whitecaps too big to compete against especially given the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency programs are not pay- to- play. The smaller Highlanders club also scouts the BCSPL, and part of the reason for community club ownership is to prevent adversarial Highlanders- local community club relationships.[1. Supporters[edit]The Highlanders are cheered on by members of the supporters group Lake Side Buoys (LSB); whose mission is: [1. To participate in Victoria Highlanders games as true supporters.

To advocate for the rights of all supporters in our home stadium and away. The name Lakeside Buoys (LSB) is based on the supporter’s location at Bear Mountain Stadium by a pond and an effort at a light hearted version of the term Bhoys- commonly associated with overly serious supporters of Celtic F. C.[1. 9] The LSB is a member of the Independent Supporters Council (ISC). The ISC is a supporters' groups association for American and Canadian soccer fans to share information and work together to solve common problems. Rivalries[edit]The Highlanders main rivalry is with the Vancouver Whitecaps U2. The BC soccer pyramid has been set up with the Vancouver Whitecaps at the top of the pyramid. The larger club dominates the provincial soccer media and recruiting for men and women. It is common for Highlanders players that excel in one season to feature on Whitecaps rosters the next year. The men’s first team competes for the Juan de Fuca Plate, a fan- created competition for BC- based USL PDL teams, against the Whitecaps U2. Abbotsford Mariners). As of March 2. 01. Highlanders are 3- 3- 4 (W- D- L) against the Whitecaps and 6- 2- 2 versus the Abbotsford Mariners all time in PDL play. The club also often has close, sometimes heated games with the Kitsap Pumas, who also started in the USL PDL in 2. Their all- time record is 3- 1- 4 (W- D- L) as of March 2. The Highlanders prevented the Pumas from an undefeated 2. Contests between the clubs have resulted in several sending offs and numerous cards. The Highlanders’ mascot is a Scottish sheep dog, or border collie. His name is Striker, and he wears the highland dress. He wears the Saskatchewan tartan.[2. History[edit]The original intent of the ownership group was to have a professional team playing in USL- 1.[2. There have been previous attempts at professional soccer in Victoria. Taking a step back, the history of association football or soccer in Victoria is comparable in length to most anywhere else in the world. The first documented associated code game was on November 1. St Paul’s School and the Victoria Rugby Club.[2. An attempt at starting a British Columbia Professional Association Football League including a team in Victoria came to nothing in 1. Professional soccer teams from Europe have had one off tours against Victoria sides beginning in 1. From the first games in provincial competition, amateur sides have charged admission for some games to offset travel costs.[2. The first listed professional soccer team was the Victoria Riptides (1. The second is the Victoria Vistas (1. Canadian Soccer League (1. Vancouver 8. 6ers and teams across Canada. From 1. 99. 1 on the highest level of Victoria soccer was the amateur clubs in the winter Vancouver Island Soccer League and Victoria United in the summer PCSL. Five games of capacity crowds at 1. Vancouver, BC, at an expanded Royal Athletic Park watched group and round of 1. The other 2. 00. 7 Canadian host cities will all have either MLS or NASL teams in 2. From these foundations and the goodwill generated after the 2. FIFA U- 2. 0 World Cup, the Victoria Highlanders were created. The original intent of the ownership group was to build the Highlanders organization up, so that the 1st team would play in the USL- 1 that the Vancouver Whitecaps and Portland Timbers played in at the time. In 2. 00. 7, this was the second tier of the Canadian soccer pyramid given that Toronto FC was playing in Major League Soccer. The award of a USL PDL franchise was announced January 1. The first year 2. Victoria United players on their roster as the level of play for USL PDL was seen to be higher than that of the PCSL.[2. In 2. 00. 9 three other new teams the Seattle Wolves, Portland Timbers U2. Kitsap Pumas also joined the Northwest Division. The Northwest Division has had strong competition since the Victoria Highlanders entered. Since 2. 00. 9, the division has had a PDL- Pro side with USL Pro ambition, 3 MLS affiliates, and a fourth USSDA academy (all 3 MLS teams also run USSDA academies). Victoria was fortunate to retain the PCSL team as the 3 organizations' locations that have switched from PCSL to USL PDL did not, and there was no increase in the number of playing opportunities like there was in Victoria. The Highlanders and Victoria United maintain a friendly relationship and play a charity match each season around July 1. In their inaugural season with head coach Colin Miller the Highlanders had exhibition games against FC Edmonton in the preseason and finished mid- table in the 2. NW Division. In the 2. PDL season they finished mid- table once again while the Portland Timbers U2. Celtic Cultural Alliance hosts of the Celtic Classic 2. Bethlehem, PAAcross The Pond. Across The Pond is a multi- instrumental trio performing their own high octane arrangements of Irish and Scottish tunes and songs. This trio is very passionate about their traditional roots but their arrangements contain modern influences. Finding that special balance between tradition and contemporary is what separates Across the Pond from many other Irish bands. They grab the audience from the very first beat right to the end.

The first- year Buffalo Bills head coach, who left the New York Jets this offseason after a disappointing finish to his tenure with Gang Green, announced on Monday that defensive ed IK Enemkpali would serve as a co- captain on Thursday night. That name sound familiar? It’s because that’s the same player who infamously punched Geno Smith during the preseason, breaking his jaw and handing the Jets starting job to Ryan Fitzpatrick. So, that’ll go over well.“I’ll get ripped or whatever, but I do this all the time,” said Ryan. Anybody that’s played [against that team], you’re gonna see [as a captain]. Will [former Jets tight end Matthew] Mulligan be out there? Yep, he’ll be out there. Of course, there’s more to any game than simply the coin flip and this is one important game; for both teams. The Bills are fresh off a victor over the Miami Dolphins, while the Jets defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. The key to this one though, will lie in whatever team can get an offensive edge. Fitzpatrick is still dealing with the torn ligament in his left thumb, even rumored to be undergoing surgery on Friday, while Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker are also banged up. Still, Fitzpatrick has found a way to make it work. He’s been picked off just seven times and sacked just six. In other words, if he’s got some time, Fitzpatrick can make things work.

The Hunger Games might be just a passing phenomenon doomed to fade away. It probably will be. В replaced by the next series of adolescent dystopian books revolving around a triangular love affair and portraying the story of a ‘one of a kind’ teenage girl who will have to save her people. Yet The Hunger Games has something more, something explicitly outlined throughout the books that was probably Collins’s main reason to write them – a political message. Suzanne Collins’ Book. The Hunger Games is far more political than any teenage drama written in the 2. Katniss. Everdeen is not just saving her folks but she must free a whole nation from tyrannical oppression and poverty. For those who don’t know the plot, it is set in a near future where countries have been destroyed and replaced by 1. Districts under the control of the Capitol. To strengthen its tight control over the districts, the Capitol organises games each year where 2. The winner, after killing all the others to survive, has to deal with the pain, the nightmares and the Capitol’s control. Forced to appear on camera constantly, physically changed and shaped for entertainment, the tributes remain all their lives tied to the Capitol and its murderous president. Katniss is one of the tributes. She volunteers for her sister and takes her place in the arena. Since that first step, she starts embodying rebellion. Many have read between the lines (though the message is pretty obvious and explicitly crafted) and interpreted this message in different ways, depending on which political side they stand for or how the issue relates to them personally. Even actors themselves do not always agree on what this message is. But all in all, Collins warns against the destructive force of humans, the unjust social hierarchy and the danger of abusive powers.

Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark become targets of the Capitol after their victory in the 74th Hunger Games sparks a rebellion in the Districts of Panem. Not very modern, true. Issues that have always concerned intellectuals, politicians and artists. Yet her handling of the story is innovative. She creates an imaginary futuristic city, Panem, while at the same time tracing back its historical roots, drawing an interesting parallel with Romans and their arena games, linking past and future and showing how humanity always had, and still has, this violent impulse, this thirst for destruction. She gets inspiration from 1. Metropolis and A clockwork’s Orange while modernising them at the same time. Like these classics, she pushes the boundaries of violence to the extreme. But unlike them, she addresses it specifically to adolescents and. В has. В political violence penetrate their literature. A book for teenagers and where teenagers die, so young people.

В of The Hunger Games. В is made even more accessible to us. В as it links future, past and present in one big bowl. It is open to contextualisation. The world of The Hunger Games is much more like ours than any other young- adult literary sensational books or films, like Harry Potter or Twilight. In those, you always had a touch of surreal, of magic and of fantasy. In The Hunger Games, while some elements are a little fantastical, they are all developed through technology and can find believable explanations that can make them potentially real. The conception of the arena and its dangers, the weapons, the different machines…all are very futuristic but not too unreal. Thus we can see a direct relationship with the real world, which makes the story even scarier and the criticism fiercer. Democracy needs to eradicate tyranny and take over: this is a very easy and very simplistic interpretation of the plot, definitely lacking in reflection and failing. В to consider all aspects of the work. Democracy is never presented in the book as a model to follow. Collins goes beyond the simplistic and is not afraid to show the limits of that thinking. She addresses today’s people, those in power right now and the present population. In fact, she addresses the readers directly when she completely discredits our democratic system. Look at this dialogue for instance: “Everyone,” Plutarch tells him. We’re going to form a republic where the people of each district and the Capitol can elect their own representatives to be their voice in a centralized government. Don’t look so suspicious; it’s worked before.”“In books,” Haymitch mutters.“In history books,” says Plutarch. And if our ancestors could do it, then we can, too.”Frankly, our ancestors don’t seem much to brag about. I mean, look at the state they left us in, with the wars and the broken planet. Clearly, they didn’t care about what would happen to the people who came after them. But this republic idea sounds like an improvement over our current government. Katniss surrounded by Stormtroopers. The ancestors are actually us, and as Collins says, we don’t have much to brag about between the wars going on right now, the remaining social inequalities and the environmental crisis. Here, she shows the future repercussions of our present actions and asks the reader to reconsider his own actions and help prevent the extinction of our planet. Through the fact that they don’t even trust the republic system to be efficient, Collins points out the limits of our political thinking and of the measures taken so far. That said, she doesn’t completely dismiss the idea either, but registers it only as an ‘improvement’ over tyrannical power and dictatorship. Even the rebellion doesn’t inspire trust and Katniss is very aware of their own manipulations. Their leader, Coin, seems too much like the Capitol’s president, Snow. If rebellion is also limited, then what is the solution? Collins doesn’t give one as every system has its flaws. She doesn’t tie her work to any political camp or alliance. As Robert Thompson, a professor of media and popular culture at Syracuse University states: ‘The Hunger Games’ has this feeling of being contemporary and political but without being really clear what its politics are”. So the author doesn’t give much of a political solution, yet she encourages the human side to take over. To be and to think more like a human to protect those you love and share among a community. Not much to build a new political system in Panem, true, and the trilogy doesn’t really finish on a happy ending note where the new president is actually the best leader the districts ever had and everyone lives happily ever after. Collins doesn’t give a political solution because it is impossible to create the perfect system. It is an utopia. Her message is more plausible and, even if it will take a lot of time and work, achievable because it concentrates on a global human effort. We need to deal with our flaws one by one, on the political, social and environmental sides. Some actors in the film have expressed their own political understanding of the book. Donald Sutherland (President Snow) believes in its power to change our politics today and sees in the films the same potential as The Battle of Algiers, a film about the organisation of a rebellious movement during the Algerian War in 1. Hopefully they will see this film and the next film and the next film and then maybe organize,” Sutherland said. Stand up. They might create a third party. They might change the electoral process, they might be able to take over the government, change the tax system.”Jeffrey Rights, who plays Betee in the films, is more neutral and praises the series’ openness to interpretations. It’s welcoming of the entire political spectrum,” he told the website Hypable. Some people look at these stories and take a 1% versus the 9. I think others look at this and they view it from a more right- leaning perspective as a condemnation of government. Others may look at is as a validation of a need for strong allegiance to the 2nd Amendment. So it’s non- discriminatory, it’s nonpartisan.”Peeta and Katniss saluting District 1. Hunger Games. President Snow’s political structure is all based on supreme authority, government overreach and sadistic entertainment to satisfy the Capitol’s and his own thirst for violence. Control is the key word, whether it is through the repression of any rebellious movement (even peaceful protests) by the state police, the Stormtroopers, or through constant TV recording. His tight control of everything that happens in Panem gives him exclusive authority and security. He made himself the strongest and forced people to bow to his games and enjoy his form of entertainment. Thus he embodies all the tyrants and dictators that have lived in their most extreme brutality. Yet he also stands for more. He believes that ‘even the strongest cannot overcome the Capitol’ and warns Katniss against the rebellion’s intentions. Is this just blind faith in his own authority and the strength of his political system, or is he suggesting that whether he lives or dies, nothing will change? That someone as thirsty for power and abusive will replace him, and that the whole system is inescapable? Probably a bit of both. War is on everyone’s lips, especially in the third book where a civil war takes place, a rebellion from the people against the Capitol’s tyrannical authority. Collins said herself : “I don’t write about adolescence. I write about war. Wedding games for your reception, bridal shower/jack and jill, your fiance and party themes.
