You're listening to RadioCSW, CSW's official online radio station, online at RadioCSW.blogspot.com. Up next, find out what's happening at CSW and around the world, with the Daily, coming up next on RadioCSW. Welcome parents and students alike, you're listening to the Daily. Happy Friday and happy parents stay at all.
For those who do not know, mainly parents, you're listening to the Daily. CSW's local and world news slash everything else, local radio, show here on RadioCSW. My name is Josh Holtzman, station director and your humble host. Here's what's new in the world.
A doctor in New York has just tested positive for Ebola after coming back from helping out with the outbreak of the virus in West Africa. This brings the issue closer to home than ever for us Bostonians. But we have yet to hear of anyone else than doctors, i.e. civilians, becoming ill from the highly contagious disease.
More on that as it develops. A terrifying scene on Wednesday as a shooter in Ottawa, rent page through Parliament, healing one soldier, calling the crossfire between the assailants and the Canadian military and law officials. He's been linked to other geologists in Canada. Details emerge even as I speak, so more on that as it comes along.
A partial solar eclipse happened yesterday as the moon passed by the sun briefly. It could be seen in the central time zone. But it was a dangerous one. NASA advised onlookers not to look directly at it without protection.
For more information, I advise that you go see Toposhi, one of our science teachers here who is quite fond of astronomy and other things. Yesterday a man attacked four cops in Queens, New York with a hatchet. One policeman is in critical condition with a wound in his head. He has yet another attack, believed to be connected to terrorists.
More on that as the details pour in, I don't have a whole lot of information on that. Apple Pay, Apple's own take on the electronic currency technology was released this Monday. So far the system has started to implant itself nationally in stores. Yet some people report being double charged by the system.
Apple engineers are hard at work fixing the problem. Until then, users will be forced to use the original Google Wallet, Google's original e-paying programme using NFC. And now for CSW News. Today's Parents Day.
On behalf of the CSW community, I'd like to welcome all parents here today to CSW. Enjoy your schoolwide assembly, have fun sitting in on classes, and best of all, you can experience the CSW community for a stand while you're at it. If you're listening to this live, you must be on your way to assembly where students will show up works of art, music, dance, theatre, and more, not even relating to art. Later you'll be able to sit on your students classes.
Which I'm sure I'll greatly enjoy. Alright, comments. Okay. I hope you did your homework.
Open right now in the community gallery in the Garthwaite is one of three art installations in the Kiss of the Ground Art series this year in the gallery. The installation features Armenian art and sculpture from artist Gégique Arroutinian. Gégique hopes the exhibit will celebrate Armenian art and commemorate the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. For more information visit Todd Bartil in the art building.
Tonight in the theatre, this year's Fall production, The Insect Play, will be performed by students. It looks like a lot of fun and I would recommend going to see it. This also marks the relatively new theatre chair, Barbara Whitney's second year at CSW, and it looks like she's going to be selling in for a long cross-first run here at CSW. So I'd recommend going on over there tonight at 730 I believe.
Check otherwise. And now for sports. Play apps for both girls and boys varsity soccer teams have begun. So if our girls varsity team has set a league record of a total of six wins and four losses, it currently holds fourth place in the independent girls conference.
More games come in, more games are coming in the coming weeks, so stay tuned and check the game schedule for more. The boys varsity soccer team has also posted a league record of six wins, two losses and a tie. They currently stand in second place in the Mass Bay Independent League. Again, more games to come, so check the schedule.
Yesterday's discussion assembly was on two sets of topics and it had the whole community up in arms. The first issue raised wasn't awakening to what Columbus Day meant to all of us, and calling attention to some of the horrible things Columbus did in return. So some adjust the issue with ideas of changing the name of the day off. Others thought of omitting the day off altogether.
Some even tied it back to the issue of Rosh Hashanah and how we didn't have a day off of that. One person even proposed that we just flipped the two holidays and have a day off for Rosh Hashanah and not off for Columbus Day, or Indigious People's Day, as someone called. Other ideas for name changes ranged from Italian pride day to Al Pacino Day to Cod Day, a reference to a point made in the food and culture class for freshmen. That had to do with Cod being a factor in the re-discovery of the U.S.
by the Basque fishermen. So far no action has been taken, but the issue has been raised to the community, so I assume something will happen very soon. Yesterday was Diwali, the Indian festival of light and joy. Diwali celebrates the Avatar of Ram, meaning the God, Ram, coming home after many years of exile and how his return lit up his home city again, hence the festival of light portion.
In celebration, the Indian culture club did a presentation on the meaning of Diwali, and after Satinder and Amanda performed an energy fill of Indian dance for all of us. Also during lunch, Mango Lasis or Mango Yoga drinks were sold by the Indian culture club. By the way, Mango Lasis are so good. They are quite literally to meet the ambrosia of the gods.
That's a big yum right there. No report, no report in shout outs announcements or birthdays today. If you'd like to issue a shout out to someone on the show, or if you have an announcement you'd like to share with the community, or if you just want to wish someone a happy birthday, email me at jholtsman2016 at csw.org or at radiocswstudio at csw.org. That's jholtsman2016 at csw.org or radiocswstudio at csw.org.
Normally, here's where I'd say what's for lunch and dinner, but the menus for this week have not been posted by the dining hall. My apologies on that. And now for the weather. This weekend looks like a sunny one, and a relieving one at that, seeing as we just exited in nor Easter.
After today's cloud will be seen until Sunday, issuing a partly cloudy day then. Saturday will have a high of 64 and a low of 47, with no wind in sight. Just another clear and beautiful day here in New England. Also, as for Sunday, it will be much colder with a high of 58 and a low of 40, with some wind to make it even colder out then.
So, bring a sweatshirt. Monday will be very similar to Sunday in temperature-wise, but it will be clear. One last thing, we're looking for new voices here on RadioCSW. We need more student-made programs.
It's very easy. It's very easy to make them. I'm making mine right now. It's super, super easy.
If you're having trouble if you're just curious about the radio making progress process, sorry, join us on Wednesdays. Either open block of the Baby Young Lab for Radio Lab, or weekly radio workshop for those who want to create radio programs. Well, that's all I have time to prepare for today. Join us next for Classflower here on RadioCSW.
Our theme was supervised by Nick and Will. It was cooked for the daily, as written by me, Josh Wolfsmith. This has been the Daily. Thanks for listening in CSW.
And now, honoring our recent nor Easter, now I present Rain by Molly Johnson, which was the opener to the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2006. Enjoy. Thanks for listening CSW. Thank you for listening.
This is RadioCSW.
