Texas Day – February 1, 2024 (United States) Texas Day was first celebrated in 2017 after it was created online. At first, this holiday was seen as unnecessary as the date was not related to any key moments in Texas. However, the holiday is still regarded as another day to celebrate the Lone Star State. ‘Texas’ is a name derived from ‘taysha,’ a word in the Caddoan language, meaning ‘friend’ or ‘ally.’ Texas has a funny history. It has been territorialized by six different countries: France, Spain, Mexico, the United States, the Confederate States, and the Republic of Texas, for over three centuries. For nine years (1836 — 1845), Texas was an independent country. It joined the United States as the 28th state on December 29, 1845, and its capital city is Austin. The armadillo is the state’s official animal, and its official flower is the bluebonnet. Its official sport is Rodeo, and its official dish is ‘chili con Carne,’ a red stew dish made with dried meat without beans. Being one of the largest and most populated states in the United States, Texas has a population of over 28 million residents and a land area of 268,596 square miles. The current Texas governor is Greg Abbott. It is famous for Rodeos, special Texan B.B.Q.s, live music, hot weather, Dr Pepper, and its large size. The state brags about its Whataburger, state fair, beautiful sunsets, and its water park, Schlitterbahn. #PhoenixDelivers #texas

Allyn Media client University of North Texas at Dallas is hosting Terrence Maiden and Tim Maiden in conversation with Jade “Lady Jade” B. to talk about business and real estate in the university's The Gold Chair Executive Leadership Series, part of the UNT Dallas School of Business, on May 1 and tickets are available now! This event is generously sponsored by the Maiden Foundation. ABOUT UNT DALLAS Perched on a hilltop, overlooking the Downtown Dallas skyline, the University of North Texas at Dallas is the only public, accredited 4-year university in the City of Dallas. Serving Dallas Fort Worth – the No. 1 job market in America, according to Forbes – UNT Dallas has served as a pathway to social mobility since its establishment in 2010. At UNT Dallas you can expand your worldview, positively impact the local community, learn leadership skills, play sports, and more. The Office of Student Life provides students an educational, holistic, and innovative environment to discover more about themselves, their peers, and the world we live in. An intercollegiate athletics program launched in the 2020-21 academic year with men’s and women’s teams in basketball, cross country, and track. Additional sports, including men’s and women’s soccer, will be added in coming years. Our students also benefit from our many partnerships with non-profit organizations, school districts, community colleges, and local business partners, which allow us to expand educational access and provide unique learning opportunities for our students. Under the leadership of President Robert Bob Mong, UNT Dallas has increased its enrollment every semester since opening. But UNTD isn’t just growing from an enrollment standpoint – our tree-lined, 264-acre campus is evolving physically, as a thoughtfully-designed campus master plan fills out to accommodate more trail-blazing students. The university’s first residence hall opened in 2017 and a new $63 million student center opened in 2019. Plans for future expansion include 180-foot Ryan Tower that will be visible for miles in each direction, a beacon to celebrate the transformation of an entire region. Groundbreaking on the tower is scheduled for 2021. In Downtown Dallas, the UNT Dallas College of Law’s historic home – the former Dallas City Hall at 106 S. Harwood St. – is the city’s only public law school. This historic repurposing of one of Dallas’ most cherished landmarks – a $56 million interior restoration – was completed in 2019 and was accompanied by a $15 million exterior facelift of the building by the City of Dallas. #BlazeYourTrail #UNTDallas #UNTDallasLaw #AllynMedia #Dallas

I am so looking forward to reading this Richard Shaw. #colonisation #familyhistory #livedexperience #taranaki I have been following Ricgard's writing for a while now. His scholarship in public policy first, then this newer work researching his family history in the context of the colonisation of Aotearoa New Zealand. The case study that he published tracing the way in which his family fortunes benefitted from the confiscation of Māori land and assets in Taranaki is a rare exposè. This book will make an important contribution to the literature. Such in depth whānau pūrakau, family storytelling, provides another level of insight into the lived experience of colonisation. Aotearoatanga, nation building.
Out next week with Massey University Press ...
