Q: Proof attempt at "Adjoint of compact operator is compact" on Banach spaces I was trying to prove this result and this is my attempt.

Theorem [Schauder] Let $E,F$ be Banach spaces, and let $T:E\to F$ a compact operator. Then its adjoint
  $T^*:F^*\to E^*$ is compact.

Proof attempt. An operator between Banach spaces is compact iff the image of any bounded sequence has a Cauchy subsequence. So let $\left\{ v_n\right\}\subset F^*$ be a bounded sequence, with $\|v_n\|\leq C$. By the sequential Banach-Alaoglu's theorem, $\left\{ v_n\right\}$ has a weakly-star converging subsequence to some $\bar{v}\in F^*$, which we keep calling $\left\{ v_n\right\}$. Thus
$$|\left\langle v_{n}-\bar{v},y\right\rangle| \to 0,\qquad \forall y\in F   $$
To prove the thesis, we need to show that $\left\{ A^*v_n\right\}$ has a Cauchy subsequence,  which we keep calling $\left\{ A^*v_n\right\}$. Let $B_E$ be the closed unit ball of $E$; we have
\begin{align*}\|A^*v_n-A^*v_m\|_{E^*}&=\sup_{x\in B_E}|\left\langle A^*v_n-A^*v_m,x\right\rangle|=\sup_{x\in B_E}|\left\langle v_n-v_m,Ax\right\rangle|=\\
&=\sup_{y\in T(B_E)}|\left\langle v_n-v_m,y\right\rangle|
\end{align*}
so it suffices to show that the latter term converges to $0$ as $n,m\to +\infty$.\
To this purpose, since $T$ is compact, then $B':=\overline{T(B_E)}$ is compact in $F$. Thus, for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ there is $y_n\in B'$ such that
$$\sup_{y\in T(E)}|\left\langle v_n-\bar{v},y\right\rangle|\leq \sup_{y\in B}|\left\langle v_n-\bar{v},y\right\rangle|= |\left\langle v_n-\bar{v},y_n\right\rangle|$$
Since $\left\{y_n\right\}\subset B'$ and $B'$ is compact, $\left\{y_n\right\}$ has a converging subsequence, which we keep calling $\left\{ y_n\right\}$, so that $y_n\to \bar{y}\in B'$. Thus
 \begin{align*}|\left\langle v_n-\bar{v},y_n\right\rangle|&\leq |\left\langle v_n-\bar{v},y_n-\bar{y}\right\rangle|+|\left\langle v_n-\bar{v},\bar{y}\right\rangle|\leq\\
 &\leq
 2C\|y_n-\bar{y}\|+ |\left\langle v_n-\bar{v},\bar{y}\right\rangle|\to 0 \end{align*}
And finally
$$\sup_{y\in T(E)}|\left\langle v_n-v_m,y\right\rangle|\leq \sup_{y\in T(E)}|\left\langle v_n-\bar{v},y\right\rangle|+ \sup_{y\in T(E)}|\left\langle \bar{v}-v_m,y\right\rangle|\to 0$$
and the thesis is proved.
The problem is that the sequential Banach Alaoglu's theorem holds only when $E$ is separable. Is there a way I could adapt this proof to the general case? Maybe using nets instead of sequences?

A: Verify that $\{v_n\}$ is equi-continuous and uniformly bounded on $C(B')$ and apply Arzela -Ascoli Theorem to get a uniformly convergent subsequence.

Win and podium for Patric Niederhauser at Brands Hatch
Mega race weekend for Swiss driver Patric Niederhauser at Brands Hatch. He and his team-mate Reinhard Kofler dominated the second meeting of the GT4 European Series. They won the first race in the KTM X-Bow GT4 fielded by their team, True Racing, and went on a sensational charge up the field in the second race from 15th on the grid to finish on the podium.
Swiss driver Niederhauser secured grid slot five for the first race on Sunday morning and gained a position on the very first lap. He set the pace again immediately after a full course yellow period and overtook the Aston Martin ahead of him in a fine manoeuvre. When the driver in second place headed for the pits, Niederhauser began to hunt down the race leader and set the fastest sector times before also heading to the pits to change drivers. Team-mate Kofler did not waste any time in posting the fastest lap of the race after the stop, enabling them to take the lead at the end of the round of pit-stops where they stayed until the end.
They should have been in fifth place again at the start of the second race of the weekend, but a ten-place grid penalty after a contact in Race 1 bumped their KTM X-Bow GT4 back down into P15. Kofler drove well and handed the car over to 27-year-old Niederhauser lying in P9. On his stint, Niederhauser again showed his class, working his way up into third place. Over the final 15 minutes of the race, he carried on a relentless scrap for second place without making any errors or having any contacts. He pulled back in the end, as it wasn't safe to overtake, and secured important points with third place for himself and his team.
Racing in the ADAC GT Masters will continue for Niederhauser on the weekend of 17th - 19th May when, together with Kelvin van der Linde and his team HCB-Rutronik Racing, he intends to defend second place in the standings with more finishes up front at Most in the Czech Republic.
Congratulations on your mega weekend! How does it feel as you head home from Brands Hatch?
Well obviously, I feel wonderful, couldn't be better! We won one race and went from 15th to finish on the podium in the other. Of course, as a racing driver you always want the maximum and I would like to have achieved more than third place, but we're pleased with the result. We're back in the running for the championship after the weekend we've just had!
You won the first race. How did you manage that from fifth on the grid?
Qualifying was tricky due to the drying conditions, so I only had one lap, in which I also had to overtake two cars. Fifth place was not exactly a dream result, but things could have been different again with P20. In the race, I pushed hard from the start and overtook some of the other drivers. I handed the car over to Reini in second place and he was invincible after that!
You went on an amazing charge in the second race. How did you manage that?
We had a ten-place penalty, as I made contact with another driver in the first race. Whenever I make a mistake, then I acknowledge it, but I found the penalty a bit harsh in this instance. Still, we had no choice but to accept it, so Reini had to start from grid slot 15 and was very fast. I was really surprised to suddenly see smoke billowing up from our KTM. I thought we'd got a technical problem or puncture. In fact, another driver had rear-ended him, causing problems in the short-term. Luckily, it wasn't too bad, and he finally handed over the car to me lying in sixth place.
You had the best scrap of the race, for sure, and were frequently shown in the TV broadcast!
I was able to quickly close the gaps and overtake one or two cars. The battle for second place, however, was tougher than expected. We were in cars of different makes and I was a lot faster overall but unable to pass, because of the difference in top speed. I had half a chance but didn't want to force the issue and risk a smash as a result, and that's why I preferred to secure third place at the finish line.
Your next race outing will be in the ADAC GT Masters at Most. How do you expect to fare?
I've got some very special memories of this circuit. I lined up there last year in the GT4 Central European Cup with my girl-friend, Marylin, and we won both races. That was a unique experience, packed chock-full with emotion. I'm now second in the ADAC GT Masters standings as we go into the next round and would like to compete up front again with Kelvin or maybe even secure our first victory of the season. At the same time, we want to approach the weekend without being too smug about things. We've had a mega start to the season, and it won't be easy to repeat that success, but of course, we'll work hard and do our very best!

Named after our highest mountain, Triglav National Park is the only one of its kind in Slovenia and one of the oldest in Europe. Its 840 km2 translates to 4% of Slovenia's territory and a huge portion of the country's Julian Alps. Established in 1981, the park's beautiful mountainous landscape with its sharp ridges, high karst plateaus, glacier-made valleys, deep ravines and crystal-clear waters is over 200 million years old and home to over 7,000 animal species and 1,600 types of plants.
Characterised by pristine waters and forests, towering mountains, scenic valleys and rich cultural heritage, Triglav National Park is a wonderland of outdoor activities and places to see. The park offers a multitude of pastimes, but hiking in Triglav National Park is undoubtedly the favourite among its visitors. The extremely broad network of trails, including those that lead up Mt. Triglav itself, is simply begging to be explored and reveal its milliards of natural treasures.

Triglav mountain
Standing the test of time proudly at 2864 metres, Triglav is the highest mountain in Slovenia and the Julian Alps. The literal translation of its name means the "three-headed", although all three peaks can only be seen from the southeast. Triglav is more than a mountain, it's the symbol of Slovenia. Depicted on the country's flag and coat of arms, every true Slovene has to climb Triglav at least once in their lifetime. Or so the saying goes.
Ever since it was first conquered in 1778, ascending to the top of this beast of a mountain has only grown in popularity, with now over 80,000 hikers reaching the summit each year. The peak's famous landmark, Aljaž Tower, a small iron storm shelter and triangulation point, was commissioned by priest, mountaineer and patriot Jakob Aljaž in 1895. Today, the tower is another addition to Triglav's incredible significance to our country and the steadfast reminder to anyone who reaches the top: "You now stand on the very roof of Slovenia. Embrace it!"
Why do I need a guide to climb Triglav?
Although Triglav is not the most difficult mountain to climb in Slovenia, it still requires a certain level of experience.
Climbing Triglav without the experience (or someone who has it) with moving in exposed and steep terrain, route-finding, and knowing the local weather conditions can lead to dangerous consequences — getting lost, seriously injuring oneself, or in the worst case, death. What's 100% sure is that your hike won't be half as enjoyable as it could have been.
A professional local guide has all the necessary experience and knowledge to make your hike safer and therefore, more enjoyable. They can also enhance the climbing experience with interesting stories and tips, making sure climbing Triglav is a fond memory.
Peter Farrow
We got a bit of a bug for mountains after hiking up Toubkal in Morocco and wanted another challenge. We picked Triglav as it offered an opportunity to get some 'real climbing' as you approach the summit. As a family of 6 ranging in age from 25 to 55 we had a fantastic time, this is a great mountain to take on with some breath taking moments and stunning scenery. The people at Triglav Tours could not have been more helpful, a pleasure to do business with from start to finish, we would recommend them 100%. Communication was great, they arranged everything from hut accommodation to a top guide, Luka, whose knowledge of the mountains kept you mostly away from the summer crowds, these are the people to book with. Slovenia is a truly beautiful place with friendly people from all over Europe sharing a common interest in trekking and the outdoors, if this is you just book it now!
Joseph Skeps
Triglav Tours is a fantastic way to experience the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park! Klemen is a brilliant guide with a ton of knowledge who can tailor hikes to any ability level. He is great at assessing your ability as a hiker and finding ways to push your boundaries in a safe, fun way. Klemen took us on our first Via Ferrata and we had a blast! I would absolutely recommend Triglav Tours (and Klemen) to anyone who wants to experience the hidden gems of the Julian Alps or the better known hikes/climbs.
Aniek Pannekoek
Me and a friend went for a weekend to Ljubljana and wanted to do a hiking tour. We went on the 7 lakes tour with Triglav Tours. We were beginners and unexperienced hikers, but we had a really nice tour. The route of the tour we hiked was really great for beginners and our guide, Luka, was very kind and patient. He also told us a lot about hiking and the area of Slovenia. We saw some amazing views and the route was varied; climbing, descending, little bit of rock climbing. This was exactly what we had hoped for from a hiking tour!

The processes that occur within soil are closely related to those in sediments and aquatic environments. They are also associated with the beginning of life on this planet. Biochemical and biological changes were associated in the earth's early stages. Molecular biomarkers, isotope modification (such as differences in 34S and 13C), and identifiable fossils are important in the study of the earth's history. The primordial soup theory of Oparin and Haldane assumed that organic compounds in water underwent polymerization and condensation reactions similar to those that describe modern soil organic matter formation. The formation of macromolecules that catalyze their own replication is known to be assisted by clays, metals, imidazole derivatives, and selective adsorption onto mineral surfaces that promote concentration and polymerization (Bada and Lazcano, 2003). Carbon and associated N substrates may have arrived on meteorites in association with minerals.
stated that soils were classified during the Yao Chinese dynasty from 2357 to 2261 BCE. This dynasty should be recognized for both basic and applied studies of soils as they used a soil classification for taxation purposes. The ancient Chinese regarded earthworms "as angels of the earth." Romans, such as Aristotle, considered earthworms as "intestines of the earth" (Coleman et al., 2004). Further evidence for the early recognition of soil is that the Hebrew word for soil is "adama," from which is derived Adam, the first man in Semitic religions (see Hillel, 1991). The ancient Vedic literature of India classified soils by color (and thus organic matter content) and recognized the importance of land forms, erosion, vegetation, land use, and human health implications.
Fungi were known for their fermentation reactions in wine, beer, and bread making and also as a food source that could at times be toxic. Inscriptions on Egyptian walls from 2400 BCE show the production of beer and bread involved the use of a starter and required an incubation time. Eastern, and later Roman, scholars recognized the soil-improving qualities of legumes and crop residue additions. Roman literature on agriculture and soil management was extensive. This was updated and condensed into a single volume by Petrus Crescentius in 1240 CE and for many years was copied, even into the time of the printing press (e.g., Ruralium Commodorium libri duodecin Augsburg, 1471).
Knowledge stagnated in Europe for the one and a half thousand years prior to the Renaissance at the end of the 15 th century; not from a lack of intelligence, but from the firmly held belief that the world was governed from the outside and was not an object to be questioned (i.e., intelligent design). The end of the 15th century marked the end of the Western medieval world with the emergence of the perspective that laws that govern the world are subject to study. The concept of biological and abiotic controls that can be studied and influenced by humans marked the beginning of our present knowledge of the soil biota and their processes. The ability to transmit this knowledge by the printed word after the invention of the printing press also greatly aided scientific discovery and discussion.
We are getting further away from our historical roots, an understanding of which is so important to our thinking and ability to formulate scientific questions. The advent of the computer with its easy access to recent literature seems to delay visits to the library to look at not only the original thinking in our field during the early 20th century, but also important literature from 1950 to 1980. I have tried to summarize briefly some of the important early discoveries. In doing so, I have not referred to the original literature, but to reviews often found in textbooks that should be available in many libraries. The history of our science is not merely a listing of the important discoveries, but an important example of scientific thought processes and the relation between methodology, ideas, and concepts.
involved the application of the fumigation technique (earlier used by Schloesing and Müntz for nitrification studies) for the measurement of microbial biomass. Today we are benefiting greatly from the availability of automated techniques, the use of computers in data transformation, modeling and knowledge dissemination, and the presence of active scientists in many new parts of the globe.
A look at our history shows how ideas were generated. It also shows that we should look at some of the misconceptions of the past to help us clearly define our thoughts and concepts. I realize that my biases show and that I have concentrated on the positive. The literature is full of examples showing that many of our founders also developed some "doozies." It would also be rewarding to look at what did not pass the test of time so that our own ideas do not end up in the same dustbin. A brief survey of citations in some search engines, such as the U.S. National Agricultural Library, Commonwealth Agricultural Bureau, ISI Science Citations, and Biological Abstracts, shows that the words "soil ecology" elicit more responses than "soil microbiology," which is followed in interest by "soil biochemistry" and "microbial ecology." There are differences in relative rankings dependent on the search engines, but processes generally involve more citations than microorganisms. Soil N is most popular, followed by soil C, N2 fixation, and the rhizosphere. The citation survey shows that new methods of analysis are being applied to continuing problems with pollutants and pesticides and their effects on the soil population. These topics are continuing to receive a great deal of attention, as is soil biodegradation. If you really want to gain a further appreciation of our field, try general search engines, such as Google, which lists 9,050,000 items for "soil microbiology," 25,100,000 for "soil ecology," and 7,800,000 for "soil biochemistry." An understanding of the interest in the word "humus" would require the perusal of 4,760,000 items. This, however, includes recipes for a common Mediterranean prepared food, hummus, so maybe a better search would be for "soil organic matter," with 14,600,000 items.

Flashcards: Making Inferences and Predictions in History Passages
"What Do We Remember About History?" by Daniel Morrison (2014)
Henry the Eighth is most commonly remembered for the unique fact that he took six different wives over the course of his lifetime. There is even a famous ditty uttered by English schoolchildren to help them remember the fate of his various wives: "Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived."
However, during Henry's rule, England permanently ended its long-standing relationship with the Catholic church and became forever a Protestant kingdom. This break has had long-felt repercussions up to and including the present day. Yet, in spite of the deep importance of Henry's decision to leave the family of Catholic nations, he is best known for taking six wives. This difference between importance of actions and nature of popular remembrance should tell us something about the collective understanding of history—it is often the trivial and merely interesting that survives, whilst the significant but less fascinating can fade from memory.
What can you infer about Henry's sixth wife?
She gave him a son.
She was killed along with Henry.
She outlived him.
She wrote many books.
She was divorced shortly before Henry died.
The famous English ditty goes "Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived." If we are to take it that, as the author says, this saying is used to remember the fates of the various wives, it seems reasonable to infer that the sixth wife was neither "divorced," "beheaded," nor did she "die." But, rather she "survived," so "she outlived him." There is no evidence to suggest she gave Henry a son, was killed along with Henry, wrote many books, or was divorced.
Adapted from The Man who Spoiled Napoleon's Destiny by Rev. W. H. Fitchett, LL.D. (1899)
From March 18 to May 20, 1799—for more than sixty days and nights, that is—a little, half-forgotten, and more than half-ruined Syrian town was the scene of one of the fiercest and most dramatic sieges recorded in military history. And rarely has there been a struggle so apparently one-sided.
A handful of British sailors and Turkish irregulars were holding Acre, a town without regular defenses, against Napoleon, the most brilliant military genius of his generation, with an army of 10,000 war-hardened veterans, the "Army of Italy"—soldiers who had dared the snows of the Alps and conquered Italy, and to whom victory was a familiar experience. In their ranks military daring had reached, perhaps, its very highest point. And yet the sailors inside that ring of crumbling wall won! At Acre Napoleon experienced his first defeat; and, years after, at St. Helena, he said of Sir Sidney Smith, the gallant sailor who baffled him, "That man made me miss my destiny." It is a curious fact that one Englishman thwarted Napoleon's career in the East, and another ended his career in the West, and it may be doubted which of the two Napoleon hated most—Wellington, who finally overthrew him at Waterloo, or Sidney Smith, who, to use Napoleon's own words, made him "miss his destiny," and exchange the empire of the East for a lonely pinnacle of rock in the Atlantic.
What is the "destiny" that Napoleon misses out on?
To die in Syria
To be named protector of France
To be General of the Army of Italy
To be Emperor of the East
To live on a rock in the Atlantic
The author says that Napoleon felt he had missed out on his destiny when Sir Sidney Smith defeats him at Acre. The author says: ". . . to use Napoleon's own words, made him "miss his destiny," and exchange the empire of the East for a lonely pinnacle of rock in the Atlantic." Here "his destiny" is equated with "the empire of the East," so you can infer that Napoleon's destiny is "to be Emperor of the East."

Understanding Domestic Violence in India During COVID-19: a Routine Activity Approach
Posted by Staff on September 23, 2021
Changes in routine activities of people were linked to rise in domestic violence incidents during the lockdown period imposed to contain Covid-19 in India.

Domestic violence, a prevalent problem in India, saw an increase during the lockdown imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19. This article explores the factors associated with an increase in domestic violence incidents during COVID-19 by applying routine activity theory (RAT) framework. Data were drawn from the incidents of domestic violence reported in newspapers.
For the study, the researchers first searched news articles on the Google search engine using a combination of certain keywords. These keywords were "domestic violence," "intimate partner violence," "spousal violence," "marital violence," "lockdown," "COVID-19," "coronavirus," and "India."
The researchers used online newspaper sources namely The Economic Times, The Times of India, Scroll.in, The Hindu, The Diplomat, Deccan Herald, The Wire, News18, BBC News, Times Now, and Al Jazeera.
Using Google search date and site syntax, the researchers from Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences at O.P. Jindal Global University collected news articles published between 22nd March 2020 and 31st May 2020. As the researchers used news articles published in the English language only, translation and back translation was not required.
Data was analyzed using content analysis and three major themes, i.e., three principle components of RAT — motivated offender, suitable target, and absence of capable guardian — were drawn. Findings reveal that sources of motivation in domestic violence perpetrators during the lockdown were alcohol and unemployment.
The symbolic value that perpetrators associated with women, lower inertia, visibility, and accessibility to the perpetrators made women suitable targets of domestic violence.
Lastly, shortage of police force and travel restrictions on formal and informal sources resulted in the absence of capable guardians. We conclude that changes in the routine activities of people during the COVID-19 lockdown provided more opportunities to the perpetrators of domestic violence.

The debut documentary of Patricia Shih, a Chinese-American musician turned filmmaker, has been selected for screening in the upcoming Queens World Film Festival. The film, titled "Undocumented," is about the story of a former undocumented immigrant from Colombia who is now a top cardiologist in the U.S. Shih said she saw in her main character, Dr. Harold Fernandez, a story similar to that of her own father, an outstanding war reporter who almost lost the opportunity to come to the U.S. because of the Chinese Exclusion Act. She said every time the economy weakens, the American government points a finger at immigrants. The situation her father faced then is similar to the anti-immigrant wave President Trump has helped trigger now, only that they target different immigrant communities. She said she hopes the film issues a call for immigrants to unite, help one another, and work together for a better America.
Shih said her father Frank Pao-Hu Shih was born in Hebei province, China, and studied at Peking University. When the second Sino-Japanese War broke out in the 1930s, he dropped out of college to become a war reporter, calling for the Chinese people to unite to fight against the Japanese invaders. The Chinese Exclusion Act, which became law in 1882, was repealed in 1943. But in 1945 when Shih's father came to the U.S. there was still an annual quota of 105 people that restricted the number of Chinese immigrants (the quota lasted until 1965). Her father, with a job offer from the New York office of Voice of America to be a reporter, which he received with the help of a friend, became the 25th Chinese immigrant that year. He arrived in San Francisco where he met Shih's mother.
Shih's grandparents died young. Her mother, the oldest of 10 children in the family, had to take over the responsibility of taking care of her younger brothers and sisters. Still, she maintained a good academic performance and was admitted to the University of California in Berkeley. Then she met Shih's father.
Shih was born in New York. But when she was 1 year old, she moved to Bowie, Maryland, with her family because her father was deployed there. Bowie was a white middle class city that had only three Asian families then. That was a time when diverse cultures didn't enjoy much respect. Shih's parents expected the complete assimilation of their children.
Shih's mother spoke Cantonese and her father spoke Mandarin. But the family communicated in English at home. Other than the Chinese food in the kitchen, Shih grew up with little influence from Chinese culture.
"I didn't learn anything about Chinese culture until I went to the San Francisco Art Institute when I was 20," said Shih. But luckily, she didn't experience much discrimination either. Her white friends all liked to come to dinner and stuff themselves with the roasted duck, dim sum and steamed fish her mother made.
Shih started out as a folk musician. She wrote her first song when she was 12 and released her first album when she was 16. In the more than 30 years after that, she has been doing visual performance art. Shih said she decided to make documentaries because she would like to tell the stories of undocumented immigrants, and also to resist the anti-immigrant wave ignited by President Trump.
Shih said the film is about the story of Dr. Fernandez who fled from his home country which was battered by drug trafficking, snuck into the U.S. by sea and became one of the country's top cardiologists. He is a good example of the contributions immigrants make to the U.S.
Shih said Dr. Fernandez's story is similar to that of her father. "If the Chinese Exclusion Act was not repealed in 1943, my father would have not been able to come here. I would not have been born. Immigrants like these who come to the U.S. and work hard here for better lives are worth our applause," she said.


The students representing political candidates Andrew Cuomo, Marc Molinaro, Larry Sharpe, Stephanie Miner, and Howie Hawkins engaging in a passionate debate revolving around New York Infrastructure.
Francis Lewis High School held a Mock Election on November 5 to educate high school students about the election process and the current political elections. During the mock election, students step into the shoes and speak from the perspective of current political candidates running for various positions in the New York state government, while engaging in discussion and debate about real world issues.
Listening and thinking about real world issues inspires students to contribute to society in the future, helping them realize how crucial it is to vote.
Students present opening statements prior to the mock election debate.
Last year, multiple students recreated the same election each period. This year's mock election was particularly engaging, as those in charge decided to focus on multiple debates rather than one specific election. Teachers decided it would be more effective if the mock election covered the Gubernatorial Election, Senator Election, and Sixth Congressional District. As a result, those who participated were offered the chance to learn something new from the experience.
US Government students displayed posters informational posters around the school to either advocate or discredit specific candidates.
Students were given roles in class, such as candidate, researcher, writer, campaign advertising, campaign manager, weebly website, voters' guide team, and debate prep team. Each job plays a vital role in putting the mock election together. In this year's election, students represented candidates from numerous political parties. The candidates were American politicians Andrew Cuomo, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Grace Meng from the Democratic Party, Marc Molinaro and Chele Farley from the Republican Party, Howie Hawkins and Tom Hillgardner from the Green Party, Larry Sharpe from the Libertarian Party, and Stephanie Miner, an independent candidate. Students worked both independently and as a team, and those who participated in the debate gained public speaking and debate skills.
Many high school students don't have free time to watch real elections, or are not interested in public affairs. By holding a mock election, students are exposed to a key part of the voting process and become more engaged as they witness their own peers discussing major issues.
"[It] benefits me [by] making me see things from a different point of view more easily from people I can relate to," junior Wessam Hanon said.
Participating students received "I VOTED TODAY" stickers and pins, encouraging other students to get involved in the event.Students who engage in discussion and plan for the mock election conduct extensive research for their roles. They learn research skills, find accurate sources, and base their responses from days of preparation. Their dedication to their roles and accuracy in research were evident, as the results of this year's mock election were very similar to the results of the actual election results. For instance, American Politician Andrew Cuomo won the Gubernatorial Election for both the mock election and New York Governor Election.
Students are expected to complete activities as they watch the debates unfold, assuring that they gain knowledge and form political opinions.


Have a variety of milling jobs? Try this combo pack of both 2 and 4 flute end mills. Sizes include; 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4". Coated in extra durable titanium nitride. Includes a nice molded plastic case.
Performance very good. 1/2" four flute shaft was 0.003 undersized and would not tighten in collet.
This is a good/great product for the price. However, the 1/2" four flute's shank was turned 0.03" under a half inch and the collect will not grip it hard enough to use i.e. dangerous to use.

Tanaka picks up 12th victory
Kyodo, AP, Reuters
Online: Sep 15, 2018
Last Modified: Sep 15, 2018
NEW YORK - Masahiro Tanaka threw six solid innings and picked up his 12th win as the New York Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 11-0 on Friday.
Tanaka (12-5) struck out eight of the 24 batters he faced at Yankee Stadium for his third straight winning start. The 29-year-old has posted more than 12 wins for five seasons in a row since joining the Yankees in 2014.
He limited the Blue Jays to four hits and a pair of walks, and extended his scoreless streak to 20 innings. The last time he surrendered a run was on Sept. 1, when he gave up a run in the first inning in the Yankees' win over the Detroit Tigers.
He gave up his first hit, a single to Luke Maile, with one out in the third, but he retired the next two batters comfortably to close the inning.
The Yankees scored five runs in the first inning against Toronto right-hander Marco Estrada (7-12). Andrew McCutchen led off with a double and came home on Aaron Hicks' RBI single to open the scoring.
Giancarlo Stanton scored on a grounder, while Gleyber Torres and Luke Voit drove in runs for a comfortable lead.
New York added three runs on two RBI singles in the third inning, and McCutchen blasted his third home run since joining the team in a trade at the end of August. Didi Gregorius drove in his second run of the day in the Yankees' two-run eighth.
"I think any one of us could pitch in that game," Tanaka said, according to MLB.com. "For me, the important thing right now is to focus on this game and the next game."
New York's Aaron Judge was activated for the first time since going on the disabled list on July 27 with a fractured right wrist. He played the final two innings in right field.
Diamondbacks 4, Astros 2
In Houston, Jon Jay delivered a pinch-hit, broken-bat, RBI triple with two outs in the eighth to key Arizona's victory over the Astros.
Reliever Yoshihisa Hirano worked a scoreless ninth for the Diamondbacks, allowing one hit and one walk. He earned his second save.
Dodgers 3, Cardinals 0
In St. Louis, rookie right-hander Walker Buehler dominated for eight innings, and Yasiel Puig hit a pair of home runs for Los Angeles.
The Dodgers moved into a tie for the second wild-card spot in the National League by blanking the Redbirds.
Buehler retired the first 13 St. Louis batters before Paul DeJong singled with one out in the fifth.
Mariners 5, Angels 0
In Los Angeles, Angels cleanup hitter Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4 in a loss to Seattle.
Athletics 2, Rays 1 (10)
In St. Petersburg, Florida, Khris Davis led off the 10th inning with his major league-leading 42nd homer, and Oakland edged Tampa Bay.
Royals 8, Twins 4
In Kansas City, Salvador Perez hit a walk-off grand slam with one out in the bottom of the ninth as the Royals rallied for a dramatic victory over Minnesota.
Giants 2, Rockies 0
In San Francisco, Chris Stratton pitched a two-hit shutout, and Austin Slater provided all the offense the Giants would need with a two-run single in the second inning, allowing the hosts to snap an 11-game losing streak by quieting Colorado.
Cubs 3, Reds 2
Brewers 7, Pirates 4
Mets 8, Red Sox 0
Braves 10, Nationals 5
Phillies 14, Marlins 2
Tigers 5, Indians 4
White Sox 8, Orioles 6

What's better than a food truck festival that brings a ton of tasty trucks together in one place?
Admittedly, that's a bit of a trick question! There's nothing better—except for a food truck festival that brings more tasty trucks together in one place than have ever gathered together before. We're talking, of course, about the World's Largest Food Truck Rally presented by Generation Food Truck in Tampa Bay, FL.
This event earns a spot in our Hall of FoodTruckr Heroes Fame by working hard to bring as many food trucks as possible together in a single place. The event took place this past weekend on March 29th and 30th and set a new Guinness World Record with 121 trucks joining forces for a historic food truck parade.
To be included in the official count, trucks had to have a logo displayed on their trucks. That means that when you also count the trucks that didn't have logos but still served up delicious food, festival attendees could choose from approximately 170 trucks. We don't know how you could ever choose just one or two to order from!
The World's Largest Food Truck Rally isn't just a way for the participants to claim a Guinness World record—it's also an incredible opportunity for everyone involved to raise awareness about the food truck industry. From media reports to social posts from the participating trucks, tons of people were talking about this event over the weekend. That's a lot of positive buzz about food trucks and the growing popularity of this industry, and we think it's pretty cool that one event was able to make such a big splash.
Successful industries have strong communities behind them, and we're thrilled to see the food truck community growing stronger every day. There are all kinds of food truck festivals that bring a bunch of trucks to a single place, but the World's Largest Food Truck Rally goes a step further by bringing everyone together to work toward a common goal. At this event, every truck is equally important to contributing to the final count, and it's only through the power of all the trucks combined that a new record can be set.
FoodTruckrs are an awesome breed—hard-working, innovative people who are committed to quality and know how to have a good time. The World's Largest Food Truck Rally reflects that culture by serving up a fresh spin on traditional food truck festivals and being a seriously fun way to enjoy some of the best trucks the industry has to offer.
We were so excited to see the World's Largest Food Truck Rally set their new Guinness World Record, and we can't wait to see how many trucks they'll bring together at next year's event! Big thanks to the incredible team behind this event—and congratulations to all the trucks who participated!

LMG Touring supports Country Music's Breakout Artist, Sam Hunt
Touring Jun 22
American Country Music Singer-Songwriter, Sam Hunt has taken the nation by storm with his debut album, Montevallo, reaching double platinum. The Georgia native is the first artist to reach three top country charts simultaneously in 22 years. LMG Touring is on the road with Sam Hunt in support of his tour.
The vision behind the design of the tour was to create a unique show while accommodating for the headline and support slots Sam would be performing in. "The key question that was on our minds during conception was how do we design an experience that puts Sam at a new level as an entertainer, but yet be efficient and clean with these support slots," explains Graig Clinton, Production Manager for Sam Hunt.
To bring Sam's musical moments to life, LMG's 18MM Hybrid LED tiles were chosen for versatility. "The Roe 18MM Hybrid, played a major role in last minute design for a surprise street show in Nashville for Sam's one-year anniversary of Montevallo," says Clinton. "We wanted that show to be somewhat of a birthing place for ideas for 2016. We were intrigued by the 100 million pixels and the ability to use multiple content in one panel. Essentially, using it as another "lighting" fixture."
"We bounced around the idea of going with more high resolution with the panels, but landed that on a content stand point, we valued more textural elements instead of focal content," states Clinton. "Having the Hybrid allowed more flexibility in creating those moments. We are very pleased with the decision to stick with this product."
Quick load in and out was the focus in the initial design of the show. "The main thing we wanted was to be able to get off support positions in 8 to 10 minutes," explains Clinton. "Along with being able to produce a great show, the great thing about this rig, is that it is somewhat flexible. That was our main goal in the design and outlook of the year."
LMG Touring and the production team worked closely together to translate the high energy of Hunt's music. "LMG, played a huge part in the direction of this vision. Craig Mitchell, LMG's Director of Touring, was able to engage during the creative process and offer many different solutions," says Clinton. "Having the ability to have someone gain a bigger prospective and catch the vision was an amazing experience when trying to land the right products for the show. The flexibility that LMG had during the many changes was extremely impressive and proved to show much investment to our direction."
"It's been a pleasure working with the Sam Hunt team. They are using our ROE Hybrid product in very creative ways." Craig Mitchell, LMG's Touring Director, recaps. "It's a great looking show!"

HEROIC COUPLET The heroic couplet consists of two rhyming lines with a meter of iambic pentameter. Although the heroic couplet appeared as early as in chaucer's verse, it gained its name through its frequent use in 17th-century heroic, also labeled epic, drama. It proved a favorite of John Dryden, who used it in his 1697 translation of Virgil. Its use continued into the 18th century, when master poets including Alexander Pope applied it to works including his translation of the Iliad, as well as popular works such as An Essay ON Man (1711). An example from that work demonstrating Pope's magnificent use of the heroic couplet is "A little learning is a dang'rous Thing / Drink deep, or taste not, the Pierian spring." In the hands of lesser poets the form proves disastrous, promoting tedium and unintentional humor.

Chris Jeans to receive Masters Dedicated Service Award

Philip Biggs and Richard Franklin have announced that Chris Jeans, Artistic Music Director of the award winning Youth Brass 2000 and principal trombonist of the Virtuosi GUS Band will be the recipient of this year's Masters Dedicated Service Award.
Trombone virtuoso Matthew Gee, principal trombone of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, former student and past member of the award winning Youth Brass 2000 is pleased to accept the honour of presenting the Award to his former teacher Chris Jeans for his 37 years of dedicated championship banding and over 30 years of Youth band service in the UK and Worldwide.
One of the banding world's most respected and successful trombone players, Chris Jeans recently released his latest CD recording to critical acclaim, whilst as an educator he has been the Brass Co-ordinator and Musical Director of the School Symphonic Wind Band and Brass Band at Leicester Grammar School for more than 20 years. His inspired leadership of Youth Brass 2000 now spans over two decades, leading them to numerous contest and concert successes.
Philip Biggs commented: "Chris is a true legend of brass banding as a player, conductor, mentor and educator. His work with Youth Brass 2000 is nothing short of astonishing and to see the players that Chris has taught, shaped and inspired really says it all. He is the consummate professional and a role model to us all. He was the unanimous candidate for this year's award."
The Award will be presented to Chris at the conclusion of the All England Masters International Championship which takes place at the Lighthouse Theatre, Kettering on Sunday 26th May.

subdir_gsymcheck.sh: a shell script that runs gsymcheck in all subdirectories that contain one or more gEDA symbols.
index_symbols.py: a script that recursively collects all symbol from a given directory and copies them to a new directory. The symbol names is extended by a 8-character SHA1 hash. Thus symbol files with the same filename can be stored at the new location. This also helps to store different versions of a symbol.
I'm currently using this script to collect all symbols from the gedasymbols CVS and to conntect them into gschem.
connect_symbols.py: a script that makes all symbols from a given directory available for libgeda with the component-library-command. Every symbol is checked with gsymcheck when selecting it in the component dialog.
With this and the previous script I've connected all symbols from gedasymbols into gschem. I can easily search for a symbol in gschem and use it if it's in good shape.
Note: I think the good symbols should still be copied to a different location by the user.

Q: using find my phone to "track" kid does it send email or other notice to kid? my son is overseas and I had to send him a new phone...before sending I turned on location services so that I could log onto find my phone on my phone and locate his phone.  (his first phone was stolen so thought would be good to have)
He is now saying that he keeps getting emails saying I am using Find my phone to find his phone...I have never heard that it sends an email to the person?

A: Instead of using "find my iphone" use the "find friends" app. It's from Apple and I use it all the time.
I saw that the OP was using the wrong tool for the job. "Find my phone" does send notices as a feature. Of course if the OP wants to find a lost or stolen phone it's the right tool and the emails wouldn't be an issue.
If the user wants to "track" the other user, however, then "Find Friends" is the correct tool to use

A: iCloud will send emails to the registered email address if any event is triggered on Find My iPhone (including logging in to iCloud)

Don't feel too bad for the new face of Balenciaga.

Whether Sam is just indebted to have his painful-looking burns treated with some TLC or if there's a new romance blooming here is anyone's guess. Or perhaps it's both.

It looks painful. Don't mess with the sun, people. Worst thing is that each sunburn or even suntan successively damages the skin and promises a future of wrinkled skin.


What's the biggest career mistake you would gladly make again? 11 leading entrepreneurs tell us.
In career, and in life, we make mistakes. You can't prevent them and avoiding them is a mistake in itself. Business leaders make many and have the scars to show for them. They can cause harm and loss, but they can also open doors and serve as learning opportunities.
What is the biggest mistake you made in your career that you would gladly do again if you go back in time?
One almost fatal mistake early on in Zawya's formation was to kick off operations with smaller capital than the business required. This could have killed the business when things did not go to plans and indeed that's the main cause for most start up failures.
However, looking back at it now, I may just do it again as the situation made us take the right survival choices rather than just drift along and disappear into irrelevance. The real constraint resulting from that mistake forced us to get creative and innovative.
The biggest mistake was to jump into a new idea or venture like Maktoob at a time that did not make sense, and with little study of the situation, with everyone around telling me you are crazy!
I think the best "mistake" I made was to choose to work with a young startup digital agency instead of taking a comfortable and safe client-side role as a Director of Marketing. I'm so proud of everything we have achieved together at Flip in the last 8 years, and I'd gladly do it all over again.
"I can't think of one "big mistake" but I have made a ton of mistakes that have built up my experience and I am glad I went through them. As they say, good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment."
Corporate experience will give you reference points when dealing with employees and trying to put yourself in their shoes. For me it was all guessing, as I was never an employee. In the least, they would not be looking at you as someone who has not been in their shoes.
My biggest mistake was leaving my last corporate job as a COO, to startup a business in a domain I knew nothing about.
I was in the IT and telecom sector, and yet my heart was in social causes & development. I felt we could combine both. I saw a need to explore a new business model that combined social and financial goals, as existing businesses often placed all the emphasis on a financial bottom line, with little attention paid to their social or environmental impact.
So I left the job, and risked all. Because it was uncharted territory for me and unfamiliar to others in the region, I had to learn by trial and error. I invested in social ventures that failed miserably, but I learned a lot from those failures.
The flexibility of running my own business allowed me to step outside the office, work in the field and gain amazing insights on social and environmental challenges first hand.
Venturing into a "green field" also allowed me to explore creative ways to get things done. The lack of financial support from third parties kept me alert to making the business run on a "bubble gum and shoe string" budget.
Perhaps it was a mistake to risk everything and invest my savings at a time when I could have been earning a significant salary in a booming economy. But I became fearless where it came to financial risk and learned the merits of a values-driven business. Best result: I am surrounded by a community who believes in social business.
Most people quit their consulting jobs at McKinsey after many months of soul searching and rigorous comparison of numerous corporate opportunities. So, when I quit McKinsey in 2009 to "become an entrepreneur" without a clear long-term plan, many thought that I had made a major career mistake.
My McKinsey colleagues had a hard time understanding how I could take on such a risk with a wife and new baby to support. My friends thought that the first step after the Firm was the most important in one's career and that I should have taken a director or CXO position in a tech company instead of founding my own startup.
Of course, be sensible in doing so and calculate your options in case of failure.
All choices I have made and will continue to make are based on the data I have at the time, my experience and my "gut" as the final tipping point. Some of these choices were perhaps not the best, but were resulting in learning nonetheless. So I don't consider any of these choices mistakes, but rather pieces of the puzzle that are guiding me to where I need to be.
For me, there are no "biggest mistakes." There are a series of many smaller ones that are gems of knowledge in my life and I am sure in the life of every entrepreneur.
That is how we have built our businesses over the decades, making mistakes and failing and learning along the way. I am a firm believer (out of experience) that through failure you learn, and that through many small failures, you learn everything.
Trial and error has been a guiding principle for me ever since I can remember. Not because I took it up deliberately, but as I was building the business, I discovered that as I try things, and take decisions (many of them every day), I am making judgment errors, and other mistakes. But I also discovered that every "bad decision" I have made was something that stuck in my mind, (meaning I learned from it, that is why I remembered it) and these mistakes where the building blocks of my cumulative experience and knowledge.
So I would never trade these mistakes ever... they are what got me here, and I would repeat them again and again. Just like working in a laboratory, you try and try to find the right formula that clicks.
I have had the privilege of being an instrumental part of and co-founding a multitude of businesses over the last 18 years.
At the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, I was adamant about performing all the core functions in the company. I self-inflicted the painful process of shadowing not just core functions but key business areas that I determined could lead to the success or failure of the company, all the way down to fraud detection.
I spent many days, weeks and months performing these tasks myself, working very closely with store keepers, accountsclerks, delivery drivers, technicians, receptionists, sales managers, HR staff and more as I focused on learning many facets of the business.
This was a consistent mistake in that it was extremely tasking on my time, and I often worked 15 hour days, 6 days a week, to make up for my own key management duties. I was often rightly accused by my friends and partners of not delegating, being too "hands-on," and trying to do too much.
I also did much of this reluctantly and didn't always enjoy the process. But in hindsight, what seemed to be a consistent mistake, even 15 years on, now seems like a fantastic investment. The drawbacks can be severe, particularly slowing growth in the earlier years, especially when, as a founding managing partner, you are so instrumental in driving the growth of the business. My pursuit for knowledge and functional excellence took away from my being strategic, creating an elaborate growth plan, hiring and managing talent to execute the plan and spending time with key stakeholders.
These actions worked against me eventually, but they were a "mistake" that I would repeat in a heartbeat. The benefits are innumerable. A detailed command of every aspect of your business, enabling you to better manage these functional managers in the future, understand what is possible and how to raise the bar and promote innovation. These skills are often transferrable, hence the ability to compound this knowledge and experience across functions and businesses.
The pluses include camaraderie and being able to identify top performers; many of our stars came from the hidden bottom of the ranks. Identifying new business opportunities, products and services, acquisitions and new markets also come out of this tiring process.
To demonstrate that we still walk the talk, my partner and I at BECO Capital are once again performing all the core functions ourselves, right down to the filing, and hiring key positions only once we've mastered all the details that go into building a high quality investment firm. The big pay-off today is for our portfolio companies as we transfer these experiences to inform them where appropriate.

Welcome to St Thomas' CE Primary School. We are very proud of our school and its achievements and developments, and we pride ourselves on our proven ability to ensure all our children are happy, safe and reach their individual potential.
Our aim is to provide the best possible educational experience for the children in our care – one where they will develop positive attitudes and aspirations of themselves, to others and to the communities they contribute to.
We do this by having high expectations of them and of ourselves, by encouraging children to be independent, confident individuals and by encouraging them to make the most of the opportunities provided for them.
Of course we want the children to fulfil their full potential and achieve highly, but we also recognise how important it is for them to be happy and so provide a warm and welcoming environment for your children. It is with confidence that I can assure you of the commitment of everyone in our school to provide your children with a happy, secure learning environment within which they can grow and develop during the next seven years.
We firmly believe that the time in Primary School should be a partnership between home and school and I hope that the coming years will see us working together to lead our children through the challenges and opportunities of school life. Good communication between families and school helps to ensure a smooth partnership and also enables teachers to learn more about individual children from the adult that knows them best. We have an open door policy, so please feel free at any time to come and see us if you have any problems, issues or are not quite sure about something. We are always here to help.
Our website will provide you with information about our school; its aims, curriculum and activities, as well as the way in which it is organised, and the people who will work with your child. I hope it will also give you an insight into our approach to teaching and learning.
But of course our website can only give a flavour of life in our school. The type of school we are can only be judged by visiting us and we hope that you will come and see for yourselves exactly what we are like. We believe you will find a happy, hardworking, caring, Christian school where both the children and teachers are enjoying the process of teaching and learning together.
On behalf of Staff, Governors and myself we hope that your child experiences the many delights of Primary Education and that this is their first step on the journey of lifelong learning.

The documentary is inspired by the book of the same title, La révolution d'un seul brin de paille, published in 1975. Masanobu Fukuoka invites us to change our attitude towards nature, agriculture and food.
The medium-length film Milieu reveals the beauty of nature by immersing us in the lush vegetation of Yakushima, an island located at the southern part of Kyushu.
Rice / Tree / Burial with Time Capsule is a public work created by the artist in1968 in Sullivan County and replayed in 1977 at ArtPark, near Niagara Falls. The work unfolds according to three acts: in the first act, the artist plants a field of rice on a surface of a quarter of hectare. In the second act, the artist connects trees together to constrain their growth. In the third act, a "time capsule" composed of haikus written by the hand of the artist is buried to be reopened after a thousand years.
Zen Garden is one of the many unrealized architectural projects of the artist. Considered as spaces of experimentation, these projects convey the main questions of Chen Zhen's work : transculturalism, the enrichment of the interior life.
Rêves d'encre refers to the "shan sui", the gesture of matter liberation. José Corti (the publisher) uses ink as a fertile fluid for "revealing a cosmos".
This work was exhibited during Rochers de lettrés. Itinéraires de l'art en Chine in 2012. The artwork is an analogy of form, which responds to the Liu Dan's philosophy (a future based on tradition) and so as the exhibition's one (the transmission of an ancestral gesture over generations).
This video performance refers to streaming news channels like CNN.
Ah! is a celebration of religious diversity and harmony in Singapore. We can hear a panel of voices from different backgrounds singing "Ah". "Ah" is a sacred syllable in many religions: "A-llah", "A-men", "A-mitabah", "A-lleluia", and "A-OM". The artwork seeks to create a feeling of inner peace in each of us.
Performance presented with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
The Cloud Gate Dance Theater combines traditional and modern techniques of dance. In this work, the company tries to capture the grace of a moment, inspiring by the peaceful feeling of a paddy field.
Performance achieved with Ulay. The couple Abramovic Ulay writes the end of their relationship through a walk of 2000 km for several days on the Great Wall of China.
The project deals with the encounter of Beauty, how each of us can define, remember and share this experience.
Fabric strips are given to each inhabitants of the artist's native village. Tied successively to each other, the bands then hoisted up the mountain in a symbolic and ritual gesture.
The artist keeps on exploring the relationship between nature and spirituality through the analysis of a Taoist tribe's rituals in Lanyu Islands (Taiwan).
All is Dust consists in two sculptures made with gold leaf according to a traditional Thai technique. The artist then sends the two sculptures "two gold leaves shapes" to curators or collectors and invites them to "reveal" the artwork in some place. For Pratchaya Phinthong, this double delegation creates a dialogue constantly reformulated.
Friday, November 3rd 2017, from 2:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m, at the IAC Auditorium.

Credit Card News RBS Scraps Credit Card Cheques 17573195
RBS scraps credit card cheques
The controversial policy of credit card companies sending customers unsolicited credit card cheques has taken "a step in the right direction" as The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) announced it was withdrawing them.
RBS joins Natwest in scrapping the contentious scheme, whereby customers are sent cheques they can use against their credit card account that incur massive interest charges and severe penalty payments.
Nick White, the head of personal finance at price comparison site uSwitch.com, said that the move was "good news" for the industry as a whole and would help to lead credit card providers away from the negative and underhand image they have got for practises such as these.
"We estimate that a total of 144 million cheques have been issued to over 18 million customers, 98 per cent of which were unsolicited," he said.
"Credit card cheques have long been regarded as one of the key contributors to bad debt," Mr White continued, adding that the decision would help to combat "the bad debt epidemic, which has been increasingly eating into [banks'] profit margins".

Diversifying the curriculum
Recommend and Contact
The Equality Act 2010 includes age as a protected characteristic, which could apply to people of any age group, no matter how specifically the age group is defined (e.g. 'over 80s' or 'young people').
The Equality and Human Rights Commission further outlines four main categories of age discrimination:
direct discrimination (treating someone worse because of their age)
indirect discrimination (an organisation's policies put people of a certain age group at a disadvantage)
harassment (when somebody makes you feel humiliated, offended or degraded because of your age)
victimisation (if you are treated badly because you have made a complaint of age discrimination under the Equality Act)
It also explains the circumstances when it is lawful to treat someone differently because of their age.
In this section, you'll find information resources relating to age inequality. The resources include books, films, archives, and social media, and they examine these issues from many perspectives, including history, society, politics, culture, literature, and more.
We hope you find the resources here and on our reading list informative and interesting, and as always, we welcome your suggestions for books and other resources to include.

Despite being the first of its kind in the United States, Vassar's Russian Department had only thirty students in 1946, the year Catherine Wolkonsky joined the faculty. By the time she retired in 1961, there were 254. Under her leadership, the Russian department created a course on Advance Translation to prepare students for government work as translators and instituted an annual play designed to train students in pronunciation and confidence in their knowledge of the language. Madame Wolkonsky introduced the root method of teaching to the Vassar Russian department and coauthored two handbooks that redefined the way the Russian language was taught to English speakers. Her first book, A Handbook of Russian Roots, was a collaboration with Marianna Poltoratzky, another respected Russian instructor who later became the chair of the Vassar Russian department when Madame Wolkonsky retired. Wolkonsky received a Vassar Faculty Fellowship for her work on the handbook. Russian scholars consider her second work, A Dictionary of Russian Roots, to be the definitive study of the structure of the Russian language.
Born in Petrograd (St. Petersburgh), Russia on July 20, 1895 to General Alexander Olkhin and his wife, Barbara, Madame Catharine Wolkonsky graduated from Tagantzteff Institute, Petrograd, in 1914. During the Russian Civil War of 1917, she served as a nurse with the White Army. At the end of the war, she fled with her remaining family to Belgrade, where she worked as a translator in the American consulate. In Belgrade, 1921, she met and married Boris Wolkonsky. They had one daughter, Marie. In 1925 the family immigrated to the United States. Soon after their arrival in the U.S., the couple divorced. Madame Wolkonsky went to Vermont, where she received a M.A. from Middlebury College. She was also a graduate student at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the Sorbonne, Paris.
Before coming to Vassar in 1946, Madame Wolkonsky headed the French Department of Knox Junior College from 1925 to 1942 and then served as a Russian instructor at Cornell. In 1942 she joined the faculty of Connecticut College where she established the Russian department. The same year that Madame Wolkonsky came to Vassar she also started work on the steering committee of the American Council of Learned Societies, which was working on the Anthology of the Russian Character. She published articles in the Russian Pedagogical Review and the Bulletin of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages. Her achievements earned her an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from the Russian School of Norwich University, Northfield, VT.
While at Vassar, Madame Wolkonsky also taught courses in methods of teaching at Teachers College, Columbia University, and Middlebury Summer School. She was the first woman vice-president of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages, and she served on the Russian Committee of the College Entrance Examination Board. In 1961, a Vassar rule requiring retirement at age 65 forced Madame Wolkonsky to leave the school, despite a petition signed by thirty six of her colleagues requesting an exception for the Russian department chairman. She retired from Vassar, but not from teaching. Madame Wolkonsky spent the first year of her "retirement" as head of the Reed College Russian department while the chair was on leave. In 1963, she joined the faculty of SUNY Albany, which had a required retirement age of 70 instead of 65. At SUNY Albany, Madame Wolkonsky again drastically increased the Russian department, and when she turned 70, her colleagues again requested that an exception be made. This time, Madame Wolkonsky won her petition, and she was granted seven extensions on retirement, finally leaving SUNY Albany in 1972 at 77 years old.
Though finally retired from college work, Madame Wolkonsky continued to teach at the Russian Summer School at Norwich University until 1985. She died in 1992 at 97 years old.
