Title: Soseki International Essay Contest
Body:
From http://www.asahi.com/shimbun/sosekiessaye.html
On the 100th anniversary of the death of Natsume Soseki (1867-1916), The Asahi Shimbun Co. and three other organizations will jointly hold an international essay contest on the influential Japanese author.
The Soseki International Essay Contest is inviting entries on the continuing appeal of his works among foreigners.
In the essay contest, entries will be accepted from foreigners whose native language is not Japanese, including international students studying in Japan. Participants are required to write essays in Japanese about Soseki’s appeal, which remains strong even today. Those entries must not be academic theses.
Deadline: August 10, 2016

Title: Bertsolaritza, Basque Improvisational Poetry, in Washington, DC
Body:
Bersolaritza is a uniquely Basque form of improvisational poetry, done only in Euskara. Basque people are featured in this year’s Smithsonian Folklife Festival, which will continue to run this week from July 7 to July 10. If you live in the DC area, you can listen to some accomplished bertsolaris at the festival. Otherwise, you can still learn a lot about this living art form.

• gather, improve, and generate linguistic data required for NLP (Greek and Latin are in progress, with more in the pipeline);
• develop a free and open platform for generating reproducible, scientific research that advances the study of the languages and literatures of the ancient world.
