If you've ever taken an art class, you've probably at least heard of the word impressionism. Even if you're not quite sure what it means, you've definitely seen the work of impressionists in museums around the world or online.
There are likely a handful of impressionists whose names you know and paintings you recognize, but this 19th-century art movement was much more widespread than you think. We're here to give you a brief introduction to some of the most famous impressionist artists, as well as a few that you may never have heard of before.
Impressionist Artists: What It Means to Be an Impressionist
Before we look at some profiles of famous impressionism artists, let's run through a quick reminder of what impressionism is.
Some argue that impressionism was one of the most important art movements in history, and it certainly was groundbreaking. In the late 1860s, a small group of French painters decided to forgo their normal studio-based setting and take their tools into the great outdoors.
From there, they quickly discovered the ever-changing shift in light and pattern caused by sunlight. An enlightening experience for many, these artists turned their attention to the use of color, tone, and texture to reflect what they were seeing in front of them. This was an important part of the development of impressionism—instead of retreating back to a studio to finish their paintings, impressionism painters worked beginning to end in their new natural setting.
As we take a look at some of the impressionists' artwork, you'll notice that there's significant overlap in their style and techniques. Rapid and broken up brushwork is common to reflect the changing natural light, and colors usually stick to a neutral and earthy base to accurately depict the landscapes the artists were seeing onto canvas.

6 Impressionist Artists You Know
There are several artists whose names and legacies are immediately equated with the impressionist movement—and you've probably heard of some (if not all) of them before.
1. Claude Monet
Source: wikiart
"The Japanese Pond" by Monet
When most people think of impressionist painters, Monet is often the first name that comes to mind. One of the founders of the impressionist movement, Monet's long career was filled with natural landscape paintings that are still enjoyed by art lovers today.
Some of his most notable works include paintings of Rouen Cathedral in Normandy, France, and paintings of water lilies from his own property that took him over 20 years to complete. He exhibited frequently throughout France, along with impressionism artist friends like Renoir, Manet, Sisley, and Degas.
Water lilies were a frequent feature of Monet's paintings.
Monet quickly gained a reputation for being a standout landscape painter and continued to produce hundreds of paintings until his eyesight began to fail in his old age.
2. Édouard Manet
"Olympia" is one of Manet's most famous works.
Manet, one of the first 19th century artists to capture modern life in his paintings, played a critical role in the art world as it shifted from realism to impressionism. His early works from the 1860s are often considered to be the birth of modern art, and Manet's career was highly influential for a number of notable impressionists who came after him.
Born in Paris to an affluent family, Manet was discouraged from pursuing an education in art until he twice failed the exam to join the French Navy. From there, he opened his own studio in 1856 and began to develop what was to become his signature style—loose brush strokes, transitional tones, and simplified details.
"The Luncheon on the Grass" by Manet
The subject matter of his work (people in cafes, beggars, and street singers) was a stark contrast to the artists of the previous generation, and his frequent use of black paint was distinctive and in contrast to the other impressionism painters in his social circle.
3. Edgar Degas
"The Ballet Class" by Degas
Degas, although most famous for his pastel drawings and oil paintings, was a jack-of-all-trades when it came to creative expression. His bronze sculptures and prints were also a significant part of his portfolio and, unlike most impressionists, he chose not to paint outside.
Many of Degas' paintings depict dancers, and his eye for movement and translating it onto paper or in sculpture is difficult to rival, even by 21st-century artists. His close study of classical art as a young adult is evident in his own work, using similar techniques but adapting them to more up-to-date subject matter.
Degas was an expert at capturing movement in his artwork.
Although Degas is sometimes referred to as anti-impressionist, his use of vivid color and bold brushstrokes to paint moving scenes in front of him give his paintings a distinctly impressionist feel.
4. Paul Cézanne
"Woman in a Green Hat" by Cézanne
Cézanne's name is commonly brought up in conversations around Matisse and Picasso, and both are said to have referred to him as "the father of us all." Cézanne's work, though largely impressionist, spanned the time period of both impressionism and cubism and was a significant influence on early 20th century artists (including Picasso and Matisse).
Cézanne's style is notable amongst the other impressionists of his time.
Many Cézanne paintings are instantly identifiable, thanks to his use of repetitive brushstrokes and single-point perspective. Taking advice from his friend and mentor Pissarro, Cézanne began to shift away from darker palettes as he embraced painting outdoors and landscape work.
5. Mary Cassatt
Cassatt's paintings largely featured women and their children.
Although born in the United States, Cassatt lived in France for most of her adult life. She quickly befriended Degas and joined the impressionist movement, exhibiting her artwork across France and throughout Europe.
An early advocate for women's rights, her paintings often looked at the relationship between mothers and their children or featured women in private or social situations. She fought for her place among her male peers in the art world and began to paint using impressionist techniques and style. She met with fellow impressionist painters privately and at art exhibitions, experimenting with pastels and etchings at the encouragement of Degas.
"Young Woman in Green Outdoors in the Sun" by Cassatt
She eventually moved away from the impressionists but still retained much of what she had learned from these artists. Her paintings continued to depict the "new woman" of the 19th century, and she used her artwork to consistently explore what it meant to be a woman in this time period.
6. Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Renoir often painted outside, but in busy city environments.
Renoir is best known as an impressionist painter for his portrayals of late 19th century women in his artwork. Like Degas, Renoir's art makes use of classic impressionist techniques and tones, while focusing on moving subject matter in the real world.
He became close friends with Sisley, Bazille, and Monet while studying in Paris in the early 1860s, learning from his peers and developing his own style and interests under the impressionist movement.
"By The Seashore" by Renoir
Renoir's art uses vibrant, saturated colors and free brush strokes, leaving his subject matter a little blurred around the edges and adding an intimate feel to the final piece. Over his lifetime, he created several thousand paintings and his artwork has been reproduced almost more than any other artist in history.
3 Impressionist Artists You (Probably) Don't Know
While these artists had prolific careers and found plenty of success during their lifetimes, they're not as big of household names when discussing the impressionist movement. Mention some of their pieces, and you'll seem like a real art buff.
1. Berthe Morisot
"The Cradle" by Morisot
Morisot was one of the most respected French impressionist artists of the 1860s and 1870s, with her work exhibited at the prestigious Salon de Paris in 1864. She later went on to exhibit independently, alongside the Salon-rejected impressionists like Cézanne, Degas, Renoir, Money, and Sisley.
She originally trained as an artist by drawing classical figures, but soon expressed an interest in the outdoors, or en plein air painting. Although she continued to work with both pastels and watercolors, Morisot's signature style developed as she used her paints to create an almost translucent effect on her work.
Morisot made use of the light and soft brushstrokes that were common for the impressionists.
This lightness in her paintings often left her labeled as being full of "feminine charm" by her male contemporaries, which wasn't helped by her prolific use of families, flowers, and children in her work. Her limited color palette was also distinctive, making her paintings feel bright and personal.
2. Laura Muntz Lyall
Source: instagram
Muntz was one of the most prolific impressionists in North America.=
Much like Cassatt, Muntz's paintings were primarily focused on a soft portrayal of women and children. Born in the U.K., Muntz moved to Canada as a child and studied at the Ontario School of Art in the early 1880s. Although her career came slightly later than the original impressionists, Muntz was heavily influenced by this style of painting and developed this from the early 1890s onwards.
Her work has received praise and admiration across Canada, both in her lifetime and after. In 1909, she was the only woman invited to exhibit at the Canadian Art Club. Muntz's paintings are often darker in tone than many impressionist artworks, and her use of subdued light was reflective of earlier impressionism styles.
3. Wynford Dewhurst
Dewhurst was inspired and influenced by the early work of Monet.
As an English impressionist, Dewhurst moved to Paris to study art and was notably influenced by Monet's art. This is evident in many of Dewhurst's own paintings, with his countryside landscapes and use of short, imperfect brushstrokes an homage to his mentor.
Dewhurst uses much brighter and more vibrant colors than many of the early impressionists, which often makes him stand out as a later convert to the movement. His style of blending short brushstrokes with finer, detailed pieces of the landscape (like deer, leaves, or buildings in the distance) are unique and distinctive in this era and demonstrate the shifting techniques of impressionism throughout the period.
What's Your Impression?
Impressionism brought about a fundamental shift in the art world, one which would go on to influence some of the most notable painters of the 20th century. But although we may be separated by over 150 years from the original artists of the movement, impressionist styles and techniques are still used by artists all over the world to this day.

There is no need to commence the process of creating the best business plan without making an effective plan. There come many things in the planning of the business plan. First of all, you should try to plan the best strategic alignments. Secondly, you should try to make an effective plan for your project. Thirdly, you should try to ensure the effective communications. Fourthly, you should try to find out the best ways to engage the shareholders. At last, you should also try to make an effective plan to monitor and measure the performance of your business.
To resolve a particular issue in your business, it is an unavoidable thing for you to formulate an aggressive strategic plan for your business. The main aim of that plan is to achieve the particular objectives of the marketing plan. The main objectives of that plan are to introduce the new products and services, to extend the existing market for your products, try to enter the new territories of the business in the market, try to boost up the sales, try to raise the prices of the new products, and to ensure the on-time delivery of the different products.
To identify the target audience of the consumers is an unavoidable thing while formulating the best business plan. Its reason is that the main issue for an organization is to attract the potential issues. The best way to attract the consumers is to formulate the best strategies in order to attract the potential customers, try to increase the budget for the marketing, try to invest in the signage, try to provide some discount offers and try to attract the potential customers with the help of the online marketing.
The process of creating a company's profile consists of two components. First of all, there comes the component of getting down the information of the company. In the second, there comes the component of dressing up the information for a company.
The name of the relative respect of the people within an organization is known as the social status. This social status has a lot of impact on the academic performance of the students. There are many types of the social status like ascribed status, leadership, position, honours, social skills, and poverty. If we talk about the poverty, then we come to know that there are also a lot of effects of this poverty on the academic performance of the students. Here, we will discuss the impacts of the social status on the academic performance of the students.
If we want to boost up the brain power of the children, then it is an unavoidable thing for us to allow them to participate in the different types of the learning activities. The best activities to boost up the brain power of the children are to provide them with some books according to their interests, to provide them with some toys according to their interest, to provide them with a modern computer, and to create some activities for them in order to participate in the music programs. If the students belong to a poor family, then it is almost impossible for their families to arrange such types of the facilities for them.
The children who belong to the poor families face a lot of acute and chronic stress in their minds. They face stress in the school, society, and living environment. Due to this constant stress on their minds, they are not able to perform the different tasks accurately. Its main reason is that due to this stress, different cells in their brain have weakened and the weaken cells also become the cause of prevention of the growth of the other cells.
The poor students also face a lot of environmental hazards during their academic career. Due to these environmental hazards, they are not able to perform well. The most famous environmental hazards for the students are indoor air pollution, asthma, and outdoor air pollution. Moreover, during the academic career, there is a possibility that the students are not able to write an academic paper and they will have to these academic papers. The poor students also face a lot of hazards to buy an academic paper from the dissertation writing services.
It is a common phrase that a sound body has a sound mind. If a child is suffering from the health care issues, then how is it possible for them to perform well in the class. The most common healthcare problems that are faced by the poor children are asthma, headache, depression, accelerating ageing, premature death, and so on. To face these healthcare issues is not a big issue rather than the big issue is that the poor children don't have enough money and opportunities to take medicine in order to enjoy a healthy life.
Due to these problems, the poor children are not able to perform well in their academic career.

It appears that the Saharan dust cloud has at last wandered our way. The plume is presently advancing across Texas and the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys.

After nearly a full week of record-breaking cold, including two nights with a widespread freeze, warm weather has returned. Today, for the first time this year, the temperature was above eighty degrees Fahrenheit throughout the lower Susquehanna region. Not only can the growing season now resume, but the northward movement of Neotropical birds can again take flight—much to our delight.
A rainy day on Friday, May 8, preceded the arrival of a cold arctic air mass in the eastern United States. It initiated a sustained layover for many migrating birds.
Bobolinks (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) in flocks comprised of as many as fifty birds gathered in weedy meadows and alfalfa fields for the week.
A Bobolink sheltering in a field of Sweet Vernal Grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum) during the rain on Friday, May 8th.
Two of seven Solitary Sandpipers (Tringa solitaria) in a wet field on Friday, May 8. Not-so-solitary after all.
Grounded by inclement weather, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks (Pheucticus ludovicianus) made visits to suburban bird feeders in the lower Susquehanna valley. (Charles A. Fox image)
Freeze warnings were issued for five of the next six mornings. The nocturnal flights of migrating birds, most of them consisting of Neotropical species by now, appeared to be impacted. Even on clear moonlit nights, these birds wisely remained grounded. Unlike the more hardy species that moved north during the preceding weeks, Neotropical birds rely heavily on insects as a food source. For them, burning excessive energy by flying through cold air into areas that may be void of food upon arrival could be a death sentence. So they wait.
A freeze warning was issued for Saturday morning, May 9, in the counties colored dark blue on the map. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
This radar image from 3:28 A.M. Saturday morning, May 9, indicates a minor movement of birds in the Great Plains, but there are no notable returns shown around weather radar sites in the freeze area, including the lower Susquehanna valley. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
To avoid the cold wind on Saturday, May 9, this Veery was staying low to the ground within a thicket of shrubs in the forest.
This Black-throated Blue Warbler avoided the treetops and spent time in the woodland understory. He sang not a note. With birds conserving energy for the cold night(s) ahead, it was uncharacteristically quiet for the second Saturday in May.
A secretive Northern Waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis) remained in a wetland thicket.
A Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea) tucks his bill beneath a wing and fluffs-up to fight off the cold during a brief May 9th snow flurry.
In open country, gusty winds kept Eastern Kingbirds, a species of flycatcher, near the ground in search of the insects they need to sustain them.
Horned Larks are one of the few birds that attempt to scratch out an existence in cultivated fields. The application of herbicides and the use of systemic insecticides (including neonicotinoids) eliminates nearly all weed seeds and insects in land subjected to high-intensity farming. For most birds, including Neotropical migrants, cropland in the lower Susquehanna valley has become a dead zone. Birds and other animals might visit, but they really don't "live" there anymore.
Unable to find flying insects over upland fields during the cold snap, swallows concentrated over bodies of water to feed. Some Tree Swallows may have abandoned their nests to survive this week's cold. Fragmentation of habitats in the lower Susquehanna valley reduces the abundance and diversity of natural food sources for wildlife. For birds like swallows, events like late-season freezes, heat waves, or droughts can easily disrupt their limited food supply and cause brood failure.
For this Barn Swallow, attempting to hunt insects above the warm pavement of a roadway had fatal consequences.
Another freeze warning was issued for Sunday morning, May 10, in the counties colored dark blue on this map. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
This radar image from 4:58 A.M. Sunday morning, May 10, again indicates the absence of a flight of migrating birds in the area subjected to freezing temperatures. Unlike migrants earlier in the season, the Neotropical species that move north during the May exodus appear unwilling to resume their trek during freezing weather. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
On Sunday evening, May 10, a liftoff of nocturnal migrants is indicated around radar sites along the Atlantic Coastal Plain and, to a lesser degree, in central Pennsylvania. The approaching rain and yet another cold front quickly grounded this flight.
After a one day respite, yet another freeze warning was issued for Tuesday morning, May 12. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
And again, no flight in the freeze area. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
The freeze warning for Wednesday morning, May 13. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
And the nocturnal flight: heavy in the Mississippi valley and minimal in the freeze area. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
The freeze on Thursday morning, May 14. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
At 3:08 A.M. on May 14th, a flight is indicated streaming north through central Texas and dispersing into the eastern half of the United States, but not progressing into New England. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
The flight at eight minutes after midnight this morning. Note the stormy cold front diving southeast across the upper Mississippi valley. As is often the case, the concentration of migrating birds is densest in the warm air ahead of the front. (NOAA/National Weather Service image)
Today throughout the lower Susquehanna region, bird songs again fill the air and it seems to be mid-May as we remember it. The flights have resumed.
Indigo Bunting numbers are increasing as breeding populations arrive and migrants continue through. Look for them in thickets along utility and railroad right-of-ways.
Common Yellowthroats and other colorful warblers are among the May migrants currently resuming their northward flights.
The echoes of the songs of tropical birds are beginning to fill the forests of the lower Susquehanna watershed. The flute-like harmonies of the Wood Thrush are among the most impressive.
Ovenbirds are ground-nesting warblers with a surprisingly explosive song for their size. Many arrived within the last two days to stake out a territory for breeding. Listen for "teacher-teacher-teacher" emanating from a woodland near you.
As a public service to our susquehannawildlife.net visitors, Uncle Tyler Dyer has agreed to give us a summary of the news. Uncle Ty is currently in self-imposed quarantine and will continue to remain in isolation until the threat from SARS-CoV-2 passes. Despite his age, he's not particularly concerned about exposure to the virus or the Wuhan flu; he's worried about getting bit by one of the "friendly" dogs that are presently dragging their owners down the sidewalks and recreation trails throughout the Susquehanna valley on a daily basis. Worse yet, he dreads the thought of winding up in the E.R. because he got bit by one of their kids. So until the subdivision dwellers go back to work and school, Uncle Ty will remain, like always, out of sight.
To get the latest scoop, be assured that Uncle Ty will poll his many exclusive sources, most of them unavailable to mainstream news reporters. He not only knows people in high places, he knows high people in places.
Here's the news.
Hey man, I'm Ty Dyer and here's what's happening.
The Flat Earth Coalition of Environmental Scientists is advising the public to be alert for an impending threat posed to those who exercise "social distancing". According to a forthcoming report, if everyone were to maintain a distance of six feet between themselves and all other individuals, those persons around the physical periphery of the mass of humanity will be dangerously close to the horizon's end. Despite the effects of COVID-19, the world population is still growing by more than 200,000 persons each day. Soon, the earth will become overcrowded and people will begin falling off the planet, possibly within the next several weeks. A spokesperson warned that pushing, shoving, and name-calling could precede the eventual dumping of the weakest from the crowd over the side to make more space. F.E.C.E.S. would not speculate on the fate of those who take the dump; however, those living near the rim are advised to wear a face mask and a parachute while doing their business. Critics were quoted as saying, "The F.E.C.E.S. movement is full of it."
Meanwhile, the Face Mask Manufacturers Alliance is asking those who are not sick, are not healthcare workers, or have not been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 to stop misusing their products, particularly while there is a severe supply shortage. They warn users that their masks are designed to prevent those who have been exposed to the flu virus or another contagion from transmitting it to others by capturing the aerosols produced by breathing, speaking, coughing, or sneezing. For those who have no flu symptoms or other evidence of exposure, but who insist upon wearing a mask to prevent contracting the virus despite that use being an application inverse to its design, the manufacturers ask that you please turn the mask inside out before donning. To alert others of your status, you are requested to wear your outer garments inside out as well. If you are exposed to SARS-CoV-2, test positive for the virus, or have symptoms of the flu or other contagious illness, you are instructed to wear a mask as designed, right-side out, to prevent contaminating those around you. You can also then turn your clothing right-side out as well.
There is controversy in several northeastern cities today after police officers arrested dozens of people for failing to practice safe "social distancing". Each of those cited was quickly released to avoid crowding of the precinct houses. The controversy arose when representatives of the cities' vice squads insisted that enforcing "social distancing" laws comes under their jurisdiction. They reminded city officials that after all, it was the vice squads who for decades have made it clear that violations of "social distancing" laws are not victimless crimes. They then accused city governments of underfunding their operations in an attempt to force them to surrender "social distancing" enforcement to patrol officers while the limited resources of the vice squads deal with the lingering jumbo soda epidemic.
Astronomers today released a statement saying that in deference to the importance of safe "social distancing", they would eliminate using Gemini as the name of a well-known constellation until further notice. The stars comprising the Gemini twins will now be divided among two new constellations called Hank and Marty. Scientists pointed out that the stars comprising Hank and Marty are actually many light-years apart; it is our vantage point on earth that makes the two men appear to be violating the practice of safe "social distancing". Nevertheless, they didn't want Gemini setting a bad example.
Radio broadcasters have announced that many classic rock and pop recordings have been edited and remastered to reflect increased awareness of safe "social distancing". Here are a few of the slightly amended hits you'll be hearing on the airwaves soon.
The Beatles—I Want To Hold Your Hand (But My Arms Ain't Long Enough)
The Beatles with Billy Preston—Get Back (To The Tape Mark On The Floor)
The Beatles—(This Really Isn't A Good Time To) Come Together
The Captain & Tennille—Love Will Keep Us Together (But You Better Stand Over There)
The Carpenters —(Not So) Close To You
The Jackson 5—I'll Be There (Or Better Yet Over Here)
Michael Jackson—Beat It (extended remix)
Bette Midler—From A Distance (Remastered)
Olivia Newton-John—(This Is No Time To Get) Physical
Pink Floyd—Comfortably Numb (You Best Skedaddle)
The Police—Don't Stand So Close To Me (32 minute extended remix)
The Police—Every Breath You Take (You're Suckin' In What I Just Exhaled)
Elvis Presley—Love Me Tender (From Over There)
The Rolling Stones—Get Off Of My Cloud (And Outta My Space)
Diana Ross & The Supremes—Someday We'll Be Together (But Not Right Now)
The Temptations—I Can't Get Next To You (Remix)
Will the firm friendly handshake share a destiny with cocktails in the workplace, smoldering ashtrays on the desk, and the annual holiday office bash? Coronaphobia, a rallying cause for the next authoritarian movement of do-gooders, is surely on its way. (National Archives-White House image by Oliver F. Atkins)
And that's what's going on for April 1, 2020. Ty Dyer saying stay home, don't get strung up in the puppet show, and remember, there are two different Amazons out there, and the only good one is a river.

It is preferable that the perimeter fencing allows clear views over the buildings and grounds from surrounding land and buildings to deter unauthorised entry and exit from the school, bullying and anti-social behaviour.
In some cases there might be a requirement to shield students from unwanted attention from outside the boundary or control the projection of noise into or from the school; these areas need to be identified as part of the risk assessment.
The height of the fence will ultimately be determined by your needs, your site, local circumstances, the function of the fencing required and the risk you are managing.
Whether of timber or steel construction, pales should be securely fixed to the frame/rails.
Fence panels of a pale/slat design in timber or steel should be oriented vertically to avoid step-up points for climbing and able to resist being pried off/away. If of timber construction, pales should be no less than 25mm thick or in the case of steel, a wall thickness of no less than 1.5mm. Whether of timber or steel construction, pales should be securely fixed to the frame/rails.
Wherever practical, separate access points should be provided for people and vehicles to ensure the safe flow of both to and from the school boundary.
Pedestrian gates should be of a framed design and employ galvanised adjustable hinges and fixings mounted behind the attack face. On outward opening gates, where the hinges/brace is mounted on the attack face, fixings should be of a galvanised 'blind' coach bolt design.
Vehicular gates should be inward opening, of substantial framed construction and employ galvanised adjustable hinges and fixings mounted behind the attack face. They should be fitted with a galvanised drop bolts and the facility for padlocking (manual gates) or electro-mechanical locking (automated gates) and employ mechanical/electro-mechanical devices as applicable to hold gate leaves in the open position. The gate design and fixing features should match that of the fence.
Where automated gates are used, ensure they are CE marked and compliant with EU Directive 2006/42/EC; as important, the gates should be installed by Gate Safe Aware installers and maintained regularly for safe, reliable operation. It's worth noting that since January 2010, eight automated gate accidents involving children have been reported in the UK, two of which were fatalities while the remainder resulted in children being trapped by the gates. Two of these incidents occurred in schools.

From Black Magic and Mysticism to Serpent Gods and Voodoo
You may be interested in Weiser Antiquarian Book Catalogue #107: From Black Magic and Mysticism to Serpent Gods and Voodoo.
"The catalogue starts with signed copies of a recent book that has caused evoked quite some excitement amongst those interested in Hermetica, Occult Traditions by Damon Zacharias Lycourinos. This is followed by the usual eclectic mix of recent arrivals. Amongst the more unsual items are a Charming Eighteenth Century Manuscript Copy of the work of parlour divination that was published under the title Pratique Curieuse, ou les Oracles des Sibylles, sur Chaque Question Proposée in 1694; one of the final nineteenth century revised editions of Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal (but published anonymousyly under the title Dictionnaire des Sciences Occulte (1846/1848 & 1852); an inscribed copy of George Frederick Kunz's richly illustrated study of the myth and lore of jewels, gems and stones, and their religious, magical and talismanic use: The Magic of Jewels and Charms; a superb copy of Jean Philippe Vogel's handsome study of the divine or deified serpents (Nagas) whose presence permeates Hindu and Buddhist lore, Indian Serpent-Lore, or the Nagas in Hindu Legend and Art (1926) and a signed first edition of Arthur Edward Waite's Strange Houses of Sleep, a book on which Arthur Machen collaborated. There is also a good selection of works on magick, including an internally clean – but externally rather rough (and priced accordingly) first edition of Austin Osman Spare's The Book of Pleasure (Self-Love) The Psychology of Ecstasy, 1913; the second and best edition of Arthur Edward Waite translation of Éliphas Lévi's The History of Magic.

Q: git submodule branch clone I want to do a branch of the project including same branch in all submodules.
Then after commit & push for all subrepos & main repo.
I want to be able to clone the new branch for everything.
After I commit and everything looks fine - I try to clone.
For some reason the submodule does not point to the new branch
forcing me to switch/checkout in the submodule.
Is this the normal behavior?
Am I doing something wrong / could I do something better?
Is there a way to "clone" all submodules with branch switched?
Thank you.
David.

A: TL;DR
This is normal.  You'll want to write or find a little wrapper to deal with it (or hooks: see see philb's comment).  Read on for the long explanation.
Submodules use commits, not branches
This is a slight overstatement, but the main thing here is that it's only slight.  If you start with that idea in mind, the rest of it all makes sense.
Remember what a submodule is:

*

*First, it is a Git repository, so it consists of commits.  It has branch and tag names that help Git find those commits, but it's really all about the commits.

*Second—and this is the part that makes it a submodule, rather than just a plain repository—it's controlled by some other Git repository, which Git calls the superproject for this submodule.
The key to understanding everything about submodules is that the superproject lists a raw commit hash.  The superproject Git will run:
git -C path/to/submodule checkout $hash

or equivalently:
git -C path/to/submodule switch --detach $hash

whenever you have the superproject in charge check out some commit in the superproject.  The $hash value for this command is determined by the index in the superproject Git repository, and the index hash value is initially that from the current commit.  So it's the current commit that controls the hash ID that the superproject forces upon the submodule.
Now, this too is too strong a claim: the superproject doesn't always go into the submodule and run a detached-HEAD switch / checkout command.  It does so at some particular set of times.  Precisely when it goes into the submodule and does this gets us into all the gory details.  But it's the way submodules are intended to work.  Declaring a branch for a submodule, with the git submodule add -b option for instance, does not change this behavior.
What you'd like to see, apparently, is:
git -C path/to/submodule checkout $branch

or:
git -C path/to/submodule switch $branch

where $branch is set to a branch name, that comes from somewhere.  There are no built in cases where exactly this occurs, but there are a few ways to make it happen.
So when do you get branch-name behavior in submodules?
What actually runs the git checkout inside each submodule is a git submodule update command.  (See sidebar below.)  If you consult the documentation, you will see that git submodule update has a huge number of options.  There is no combination of options that makes git submodule update run the command you want.
Git will do an automatic submodule update (see sidebar again) on git checkout in the superproject if you have set the recursion option for that checkout.  That is, git checkout --recurse-submodules will do it, as will plain git checkout if you've set submodule.recurse to true in your configuration.  An explicit git checkout --no-recurse-submodules will inhibit Git's automatic update.
(Note that git clone itself ends by running an internal git checkout command, unless you use git clone --no-checkout.  That checkout will recurse, or not recurse, based on the --recurse-submodules flag passed to git clone, or again the configuration you've set.)
If you didn't have git checkout do an automatic update, you would normally manually run your own git submodule update command now.  You can choose not to run git submodule update, or to run it but follow it up with a:
git -C path/to/submodule switch $branch

command.  None of this is automatic, of course.
Sidebar: git checkout does not use git submodule update
The user-facing command for updating submodules is git submodule update.  But git checkout itself doesn't literally run git submodule update: instead, it has hardcoded into it the behavior of git submodule update --checkout.  This is, at least currently, in entry.c, which notices that the gitlink hash ID changed and calls submodule_move_head in submodule.c, which currently uses an invocation of git read-tree, passing it a raw hash ID.  So it can't use the desired commands.
Using git submodule update
You can select a submodule update mode:

The "updating" can be done in several ways depending on command
line options and the value of submodule.<name>.update configuration
variable. The command line option takes precedence over the configuration
variable. If neither is given, a checkout is performed. ...
checkout
    the commit recorded in the superproject will be
checked out ...

This is the default, and is what you are seeing.

rebase
    the current branch of the submodule will
be rebased onto the commit recorded in the superproject.

This is closer to what you want, but isn't what you want at all, plus there's a bootstrap issue: what exactly is the current branch of the submodule?

merge
    the commit recorded in the superproject will
be merged into the current branch in the submodule.

That's also not what you want, and has the same question to resolve.

The following update procedures are only available via the submodule.<name>.update configuration variable:
custom command
    arbitrary shell command that takes a single
argument (the sha1 of the commit recorded in the superproject) is
executed. When submodule.<name>.update is set to !command,
the remainder after the exclamation mark is the custom command.

This is the only one of the update commands that could do what you want.  You can set a custom command that will do your desired git checkout or git switch.  Note that the branch name is not provided to you; you will have to fish it out from somewhere.  This is overly difficult (I think); read on, or jump to the conclusion section to see what I think is the right way to do it.

none
    the submodule is not updated

(I included this for completeness, but obviously doesn't do what you want.)
But wait: there is one more option!  It's not described here, for some reason; it's left down in the OPTIONS section.  It is the --remote option:

--remote
    This option is only valid for the update command.
Instead of using the superproject's recorded SHA-1 to update the
submodule, use the status of the submodule's remote-tracking branch.
The remote used is branch's remote (branch.<name>.remote),
defaulting to origin. The remote branch used defaults to the remote
HEAD, but the branch name may be overridden by setting the
submodule.<name>.branch option in either .gitmodules or .git/config
(with .git/config taking precedence).
This works for any of the supported update procedures (--checkout,
--rebase, etc.). The only change is the source of the target SHA-1.
For example, submodule update --remote --merge will merge upstream
submodule changes into the submodules, while submodule update --merge
will merge superproject gitlink changes into the submodules.
In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, update --remote
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the SHA-1.
If you don't want to fetch, you should use
submodule update --remote --no-fetch.

This does almost what you want.  There are two problems:

*

*It runs git -C path/to/submodule fetch, then git -C path/to/submodule rev-parse origin/$branch, then runs git -C path/to/submodule switch --detach $hash where $hash is the result of the rev-parse step.  (It's a little silly that it uses three commands to achieve this when two, fetch and switch --detach, would suffice: the switch can do the rev-parse internally.  But this is a side effect of the way it's coded.)
The drawback here is the extra fetch and the use of origin/$branch.  You can stop the fetch with --no-fetch, although it's probably harmless and maybe sometimes desirable.  The use of origin/$branch is also probably harmless: if you've just cloned the submodule repository, $branch may not even exist, and the result is always going to be a detached HEAD because submodules are always detached HEADs, so origin/$branch should be fine.

*The bigger drawback is that you literally can't get --remote specified without manually running a git submodule update in the first place.  And, in any case, you're still left on a detached HEAD in the submodule!
Conclusion

Is there a way to "clone" all submodules with branch switched?

No.  However, if you're willing to use something other than Git—e.g., to use a wrapper that runs Git—it's easy enough.  For your case, a trivial wrapper that runs git clone followed by git submodule update --init followed by git submodule foreach --recursive with a shell function (that you provide) that invokes the git switch command would do the job.  Using git submodule foreach is superior (I think) to trying to use a custom update command, as you'll gain easy access to the superproject and submodule parts so that you can fish out a branch name from the superproject's settings.
You can also use git clone followed by git submodule update --checkout --remote to get to the right hash ID, if that's good enough.

Why Business Can Be Good at Solving Social Problems
by Michael E. Porter
Why do we turn to nonprofits, NGOs and governments to solve society's biggest problems? Michael Porter admits he's biased, as a business school professor, but he wants you to hear his case for letting business try to solve massive problems like climate change and access to water. Why? Because when business solves a problem, it makes a profit—which lets that solution grow.

Martini Klinik: Prostate Cancer Care
Michael E. Porter, Jens Deerberg-Wittram, Thomas W. Feeley and Clifford M. Marks
Since its establishment in 2005, Hamburg's Martini Klinik had single-mindedly focused on prostate cancer care with a commitment to measure long-term health outcomes for every patient. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Hamburg University Hospital, Martini was a "hospital in a hospital" in close proximity to other hospital departments and services. By 2013, Martini Klinik had become the largest prostate cancer treatment program in the world with 5,000 outpatient cases and more than 2,200 surgical cases annually, with patients coming from all over Germany and from other countries. However, German private insurers were cutting reimbursement for prostate cancer by 15 percent, and denying extra payment for some new procedures, while reimbursement by public health plans was not covering costs. Dr. Hartwig Huland, Martini's founder and Medical Director, was considering how to respond.

Cleveland Clinic: Transformation and Growth 2015
Michael E. Porter and Elizabeth O. Teisberg
The Cleveland Clinic's health care services are internationally renowned for quality. In 2008, The Clinic began to restructure the organization into teams defined around patient needs, rather than traditional medical specialties. "Patients First!" takes shape as the teams measure and report outcomes, coordinate care, and develop to support improving value for patients. In addition to restructuring care delivery in the hospitals and throughout northeastern Ohio, The Clinic has investments, facilities, and staff in several other states in the U.S. as well as in Canada and Abu Dhabi. Now in 2015, as the Clinic's domestic and international footprint continues to expand, its leadership is also focused in maintaining the Cleveland Clinic brand and providing optimal clinical care. Students can explore strategy transformation, geographic expansion, the process of introducing new measurement approaches, alignment of activities with strategic goals, and issues in leading change both within a company and across an economic sector.

Westlife - Face to Face
When Brian McFadden quit Westlife, all music lovers must have hoped that the long-awaited break-up was finally on the cards. But, a bit like the murderous doll Chucky in Child's Play, it appears that the world's blandest boyband are determined to stagger on no matter how many limbs they lose. There's not much to say about Face to Face, except that it's possibly even drabber and more syrupy than anything they've done to date. Part of the blame must go to the shadowy Steve Mac, who co-wrote 'Flying Without Wings' and has also lent his, er, lyrical talents to more than half the tracks here. But the main responsibility must lie with the four muppets themselves, who aim for the lowest common denominator every time and never fail to hit the target. A truly criminal record.

Dormant Gonorrhea: Gonorrhea Without Signs and Symptoms
Written by Hazel Caingcoy Updated Jun 17, 2021
Medically reviewed by John Paul Ferolino Abrina, M.D.
Dormant gonorrhea occurs when one is infected with gonorrhea but does not show symptoms. Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). Among its symptoms are a burning sensation when urinating, and abnormal discharge.
In some cases, gonorrhea can be asymptomatic or does not show signs and symptoms. Dormant gonorrhea or asymptomatic gonorrhea is considered to be more infectious and more dangerous because of the complications that can occur due to late treatment.
Kinds of Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea infects the mucous membranes in the body. It is commonly found in the reproductive system which includes the vagina in women and the urethra in both men and women. It may also infect the mouth and throat, as oral or pharyngeal gonorrhea, and the rectum, or rectal gonorrhea.
Oral and rectal gonorrhea may manifest as dormant gonorrhea. People infected with dormant gonorrhea do not show signs and symptoms, especially during its early stages.
Oral gonorrhea may manifest as a sore throat, but most of the time, it does not show any signs or symptoms.
Rectal gonorrhea can manifest symptoms such as anal itching and soreness, but it commonly does not show any other signs and symptoms.
Dormant Gonorrhea
Dormant gonorrhea can occur because the infection is in its early stages. It can take as long as 30 days for symptoms to show up. Even in its early stages, gonorrhea is still transmittable.
It is more common for women to have dormant gonorrhea. Studies have shown that 80% of women who have gonorrhea do not show any signs and symptoms.
In women, gonorrhea can easily be mistaken for other infections such as urinary tract infection (UTI) or a yeast infection.
Dormant gonorrhea is also common in men who have anal sex. According to a study done among men having sex with men, 58% of oral and rectal gonorrhea infections did not show any symptoms.
What Causes Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is transmitted when an infected area or bodily fluid comes in direct contact with the vagina, penis, mouth, rectum and even the eyes of another person.
Gonorrhea can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal, anal, and oral sex as well as from mother to child during childbirth.
Is Dormant Gonorrhea Transmittable?
Even if gonorrhea did not manifest any type of symptoms, you can be a carrier and transmit the infection through direct contact.
Penetrative and oral sex is the most common mode of transmission for gonnorhea but it can also be transmitted through kissing, especially in the case of oral gonorrhea.
Because infected people do not manifest signs and symptoms, the chances of transmitting this disease to another person are very high.
What Does Chlamydia Smell Like? Know the Symptoms of This STD
People prone to gonorrhea, especially dormant gonorrhea, are those who are sexually active and have a previous history of gonorrhea. Sexual partners who currently have gonorrhea, or have a history of having gonorrhea are also prone to spreading the infection.
People who practice unprotected anal sex and oral sex are also at risk of acquiring gonorrhea.
Complications of Dormant Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea can remain asymptomatic for a long period. By the time it manifests signs and symptoms, the infection has probably spread to other parts of the body.
In women, gonorrhea can travel from the cervix and up to the uterus and fallopian tubes. The spreading of gonorrhea to these organs can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
If left untreated, PID can cause ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy outside the womb. PID can also cause blockage of the fallopian tubes and lead to infertility.
In men, gonorrhea can infect the epididymis or the tube that stores the sperm which eventually causes sterility.
In rare cases, untreated gonorrhea can spread to the blood and joints. This complication is known as disseminated gonococcal infection. Symptoms include joint pain and skin disorders wherein rashes of red and pink spots become filled with pus.
Getting Checked for Dormant Gonorrhea
The best way to know if you are infected is to get yourself tested for the infection.
If you are sexually active, it is advised that you have a full panel of STI tests at least once a year.
A full panel STI test will not only detect gonorrhea but also other asymptomatic STIs including the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), herpes, chlamydia, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Trichomoniasis.
A gonorrhea test is also crucial for pregnant women. This to avoid transmitting the virus to the infant during childbirth.
Dormant gonorrhea occurs when bacterial infection does not show any signs and symptoms. Because gonorrhea does not always show symptoms, people can unknowingly spread the infection. Dormant gonorrhea occurs more often to individuals who engage in unprotected oral and anal sex. A yearly full panel STI test is advised for sexually active people.

Q: sharedpreferences between activities This question is kind of similar to other sharedpreferences questions but i don't really know how exactly to use it between different activities? Kindly provide the complete activity file if possible rather than just few lines of codes as i am noob in this field!
I have two activities. one is userprofile and another is edituserprofile. Whatever a user edits in edituserprofile, should be displayed in userprofile activity as soon as user click on save image button from the app bar of edituserprofile. sharedpreferences works perfectly in edituserprofile where user can see entered data and also able to change it as it is edittextview. However, i am not able to apply the same logic to userprofile activity. When i click on save button from edituserprofile, it takes me to userprofile and i can see the change that has made in edituserprofile but as soon as i exit the userprofile and relaunch it, data gets cleared in userprofile but not from edituserprofile! i want userprofile to save, display data from edituserprofile even user exit and re-launch the app!

Kindly help!

A: In your UserProfile class and everywhere else change -

SharedPreferences sharedpreferences = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE);

by this -
 sharedpreferences = getSharedPreferences("nameKey", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

And you are good to go !

A: You are using sharedpreferences which are local to your two activities, as in docs for this method:

Retrieve a SharedPreferences object for accessing preferences that are
  private to this activity.

Solution is to use global sharedpreferences with:
 SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

A: A major dilemma is that you are using getPreferences() in UserProfile, but using getSharedPreferences() in EditUserProfile. The first method would only get key-value pairs for the UserProfile activity, while the second is for any part of the app to access. Switch getPreferences() to getSharedPreferences() and you should be good.

The research methodology that was used is a descriptive research format. First twenty-five scholarly sources were read, analysed, and annotated. Then, an interviewed was conducted with Dr. Eileen Appelbaum, who is an expert on paid family and medical leave policies in the United States. The main data collection method was through meta-analysis. Four scholarly journals were reviewed and analysed in order to come to synthesizing conclusions that support the thesis. The interview with Dr. Appelbaum allowed for a deeper understand how paid leave is implemented at the state level, the meta-analysis of the journals enabled the researcher to draw conclusions from the research and conclusions of other related studies.


Well to be honest I wasn't sure of what to expect given all the negativity expressed towards the latest addition to the DC cinematic universe, but I am happy to report that the critics Trek were dead wrong about this one! If you're a DC fan or even if you're not and want a refresher course on a few of the more notable villains in the DC universe go see this film.
For me it hit on all cylinders. The action was good. The banter between characters was good, and surprisingly yet most importantly for the most part the portrayal of those characters was spot on! Although Jared Leto's Joker I am still undecided on but since he wasn't a main focal point the performance here sufficed. Specifically I was more than pleased with Margot Robbie and Will Smith as Harley Quinn and Deadshot.
Margot does not often use the accent familiar to fans of the animated series portrayal but does from time to time slip into it. This showed she at least did a little research and cared about the role. "Puddin" is Harley's term of endearment for the Joker and true fans will appreciate that as well. Will Smith is well…Will Smith as Deadshot and in this case that's not a bad thing. Typist: In fact wholesale jerseys he makes the character more personable which should help film goers actually become emotionally invested.
This film does carry the common theme of unlikely misfits forced to work together with a twist that this team is actually comprised of criminals and super villains. In this case it Last-Minute is done well and the characters they want you to focus on are given sufficient backstory on. Those that were not were likely done that way because the producers likely didn't feel they were more than marginal side characters in comparison to the main players. They're there for filler and to move the wholesale jerseys plot along. When done right I don't mind that so much. Suicide Squad did an admirable job in them that respect.
I did have a slight problem with Amanda Waller but can't really discuss it here as I don't want to spoil the film for those who have not had a chance to see it yet. Viola Davis however did a great job in my humble opinion.
Were there wholesale nba jerseys plot holes? Of course there were but that's to be expected of any film and because of the fantasy/sci-fi element to the film most can be forgiven. There is however a huge glaring one but once again I won't discuss it here and leave it to you to go see it and judge for yourselves what doesn't make sense especially to ever those who follow the DC universe closely. Like Forrest Gump that's all I have to say about that.
Another great surprise to me was the music and how well it tied into certain parts of the film. The soundtrack was well put together and moved along nicely from scene to scene. Before seeing this film I wasn't too familiar with Diablo and now I will have to look into him as he was an interesting cog that worked well here.
Overall this was not a perfect film by any stretch but still done well. It tied in nicely with Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice. The writers, actors Unhappiness and everyone else involved pulled everything together for a very solid effort. I am not sure what the critics are giving this film wholesale mlb jerseys such a bad rap for and for that they get the Croc face.
My suggestion wholesale nfl jerseys is that if you're at all interested in comic book films, action films, science fiction, or just DC in general go out and see this movie! Don't let the opinions of people you don't know sway you. I'm not saying you'll agree with what I wrote here. I'm only saying judge for yourself and give it a chance. If you do or don't like it I would be interested in hearing why. Until next time folks.

Every single bag that comes through our doors goes through a rigorous authentication process.
Bags are checked in-house by several members of our team across departments. Utilizing 6+ years of experience, authentication courses, and a handful of 'tells', a preliminary check is done.
Any doubts go to our second checkpoint; our third-party authentication service Entrupy.
Finally, any bags which cannot be authenticated are returned.
We stand by our products, and any bag purchased from Love that Bag comes with a forever guarantee.
We've compiled a list of some quick and easy checks for you to do at home on bags you'd like to sell - or simply checking on items you've had around for a while. This is a great start-point, but we'd encourage you to get your bags professionally authenticated if you have any doubts!

Big Local as a learning system: what works in resident-led regeneration and, crucially, why does it work?
Review of existing Big Local data – including community profiles and plans as well as materials (such as film, podcasts and photographs) available in other media Ongoing reviews of Big Local data (e.g. Plan Reviews).
Seven summative films addressing the issues raised in this report.
This site, therefore, allows for the tracking of change in Big Local areas over the life of the programme and can be searched either by media format (e.g. film/audio etc.) or against a time-line of when things happened.
This report maps progress in, and additional learning from, the evaluation sample of 15 Big Local areas 2015 to 2016. It takes the story of Big Local forwards from the Early Years pdf=2.76mb research undertaken by NCVO during 2014 (NCVO, 2015) and builds on other subsequent evaluation reports such as Community Engagement in Big Local pdf=595kb (NCVO 2016) and People places and health agencies pdf=458kb, (Institute for Voluntary Action Research report 2016).
the specific tasks outlined for Our Bigger Story within the integrated evaluation framework developed by Local Trust (March 2015) in terms of understanding Big Local processes and outcomes.
These are summarised in Table 9, below.
In addition, in 2016, the evaluation team introduced five key research themes to 'unpack' learning around process and outcomes, as agreed with Local Trust. These related to Big Local areas capacity to negotiate change, the extent to which they are a catalyst for change in their areas, the development of community leadership and influence, their experience in dealing with expectations around 'achievement,' and understanding about sustainability and legacy. These are explained further in Section 4 of the current report.
Multi-media training and support for participating Big Local areas.
The evaluation is being undertaken in and with 15 Big Local areas, representing 10% of all the communities covered by the Big Local programme. These were selected through a short baseline survey of all 150 Big Local areas carried out between February and May 2015. The survey was designed to assess interest in involvement in Our Bigger Story and to identify the range of social media technologies currently being used by areas. It was accompanied by taster workshops at the 2015 Big Local spring events, attracting 51 participants.
Big Local areas with populations ranging from around 2,400 residents to around 11,500 and an average of 6,500.
delivering multi-media training and offering grants of up to £500 to purchase equipment as a way of encouraging areas to develop their own materials. Media training events were held in September 2015 in Birmingham, London and York, involving 69 participants in total, to give Big Local areas hands-on experience of film machining, creating digital stories and podcasts as well as being introduced to creative visual/written methods of evaluation. All 15 evaluation areas attended with representatives from an additional five areas that had also expressed initial interest through the baseline survey. All also received the equipment grant (up to £500) for the amount requested by early 2016.
Our Bigger Story has started to construct an integrated public facing website which will document multi-media evaluation materials from all 15 Big Local areas over the life of the programme (see www.ourbiggerstory.com). This is searchable by a time-line, by the media used and against Big Local outcomes. It enables the evaluation team and individual Big Local areas to up-load materials (video, audio, photographs and reports) that are for wider circulation and do not include information that could be deemed to be confidential. There are currently 238 'posts'7 from the 15 Big Local areas on the website alongside a vimeo channel (The Residents Stories) with 34 films made by OBS over 2015-16.
There have been a number of teething problems with the website. For Big Local areas with slow broadband speeds, uploading films can be extremely time consuming. Internally, the practice of uploading materials has identified a number of layout problems – in particular the matching of text with photographs of different sizing. Both these issues are being addressed by Creative Media through advice to the areas and web-redesign.
Behind the public facing website, systems for secure online data storage and management have been developed as part of building the foundations for the longitudinal study. Given the volume (and file size) of visual materials additional secure storage has been purchased from the University. This has the capacity to preserve a decade's worth of written, audio and visual data.
85 filmed interviews/observations in ten Big Local areas.
pilot social media analysis in three Big Local areas.
The focus in year one was on gaining a baseline understanding of each of the 15 areas: their histories, the patterns of (and learning from) development behind Big Local and what they hoped to achieve. The methods adopted relied largely on more traditional evaluation methods (e.g. taped/transcribed individual and focus group interviews) supplemented by film making and other multi-media activity (e.g. podcasts). This data informed the Interim Summary Report pdf=592kb (with a more detailed paper submitted to Local Trust) published in April 2016.
made more use of film as a means of recording both individual interviews and group activities/meetings. There are now a series of 'In Conversation' films on the OBS website.
integrated film into the evaluation process as a way of stimulating discussions between the Big Local areas involved.
In addition, the focus for data gathering (post base-line) changed. In addition to gathering information on area's progress against outcomes a more thematic approach was adopted to capture data around the themes of leadership, influence, expectations, legacy and Big Local as a change mechanism.
two workshops with Big Local reps attended by 35 people. The first of these reflected on the wider applicability of the findings from the Interim report whilst the second, specifically, focused of aspects of risk and risk management in Big Local areas.
grants and local residents accessing services supported or delivered by Big Locals.
In addition, residents in seven areas kept reflective diaries on their experience of being Big Local partners. An edited film version of these diaries is available as 'Diary Lines'.
You can download the full printed report as a pdf document. The pdf document is 1.5MB. You will require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and read.
