The coexistence and information sharing between Chinese and Canadian cultures in Canada have reached a place where local communities, media outlets, and the arts are all taking notice. One of the most interesting (but least celebrated) ways East and West meet is through music - with this in mind, Emerging Young Artists is proud to present "A World Away: Chinese & Canadian Indie Music Concert," to be held in Toronto's Daniels Spectrum on April 9th, 2016. Co-hosted by Art Calorie, "A World Away" will feature more than ten independent musicians in many genres (including Blues, Soul, Rock, Indie Folk, and Pop), along with a house band, Marito Marques.

America has developed this hooligan supporter culture that is revolving solely around fast food joints.

Depending on if you prefer McDonalds, Burger King or In-N-Out, you might be part of different burger gangs. Each gang would have a secret gang colour or a tiny flair as a tip-off for other gang members. For instance, McDonalds gangs may keep Coca-Cola bottle caps in their belly buttons, and Burger King gangs might have drinking straws behind their left ears. Occasionally, fights erupt between the rivaling gangs, or leaders are challenged to dangerous scooter drag races.

In Moldova it's customary to bake a "gay cake" when somebody comes out of the closet. The whole community gathers about the newly proclaimed homosexual while he eats the cake. Afterwards they never speak to the gay again - the cake symbolises the last good sentiment toward him. Once you've eaten your cake, you are no longer one of us. Many Moldovan homosexuals prefer hanging themselves than eating the gay cake.

in russia it is customary to have at least one image of the current head of state in the home
in fact one of the leading political theories about the fall of the soviet empire beginning in the 1980's states that the biggest reason for the increasing frustration with the USSR was the high turnover rate of heads of state. Changing from Brezhnev in 1982 to Andropov to Chernenko to Gorbachev all in the span of less than a decade took its biggest toll on many russians with what felt like constant changing of pictures in the the countries living rooms.
This is also a primary reason for there mild mannered reactions to putins extended stay in power, many ruskies have grown used to his face on their mantles

Research on birth control methods to reduce the black birth rate was one such area. Daan Goosen, the managing director of Roodeplaat Research Laboratories between 1983 and 1986, told Tom Mangold of the BBC that Project Coast supported a project to develop a contraceptive that would have been applied clandestinely to blacks. Goosen reported that the project had developed a vaccine for males and females and that the researchers were still searching for a means by which it could be delivered to make blacks sterile without making them aware. Testimony given at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) suggested that Project Coast researchers were also looking into putting birth control substances in water supplies.
