Abbotsford anthropologist and team search for indications of what life was like
Sep. 1, 2021 9:00 a.m.
A Fraser Valley university instructor spent a couple of weeks near Cherryville in July literally digging up information on how prisoners lived during the First World War at the Monashee Internment Camp.
The ground-penetrating radar expert Dr. Sarah Beaulieu, from the Abbotsford-based university, is an instructor and faculty associate in the school's community health and social innovation hub. Prior to Cherryville, she had been excavating at the Morrissey Internment Camp just outside of Fernie.
Beaulieu is also connected with Vernon's Andrea Malysh and Lawrna Myers, program manager and researcher, respectively, with the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund and was aware of the Monashee camp.
"It's unique because it's on the side of a highway and hasn't been developed, so it seemed like a great location to begin unearthing and excavating," said Beaulieu near the end of her two-week stint in the North Okanagan.
The camp was located east of Cherryville.
Aided by Malysh, Myers and Myers' family, as well as students from Simon Fraser University's archaeology department, Beaulieu was able to unearth both ends of the facility and completely delineate the camp.
"We found the guards' quarters, officers' quarters, the civilian prisoners of war (POW) quarters, and, of course, all of the artifacts that come up with this type of situation and location," said Beaulieu, referring to cans, bottles, bottle caps, stoves, stove pipes, stove doors.
"Basically these are items that tell us how the prisoners lived, how they were fed, how they were treated within the camps."
A couple of interesting finds included cans of OXO seasoning, which Beaulieu said would not have belonged to the prisoners, a cream container in the shape of corn, and a broken bottle of Johnnie Walker whisky.
Beaulieu is the first to excavate First World War internment sites in Canada with her research contributing new information toward how the POWs lived and were treated in these Canadian camps (there were also camps in Vernon, where MacDonald Park and W.L. Seaton Secondary are today, and Mara).
Artifacts from her research, including a barbed-wire cross and a handmade shovel used by POWs to dig an escape tunnel, are on exhibit in the Canadian History Hall at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Que.
Her research has been highlighted in the documentary That Never Happened which has received numerous international awards and was the Official Selection of the Permanent Mission of Canada to the United Nations, screening in Geneva, Switzerland. The film has been screened in Vernon by the Vernon and District Family History Society.
Beaulieu's use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) as a remote sensing method has seen her liaise with the RCMP in search of clandestine graves, survey cemeteries for the City of Abbotsford and Agassiz, and work for First Nations communities to survey both Indigenous cemeteries and search for residential school burial sites.
Beaulieu's work with GPS uncovered in May an unmarked graveyard on the grounds of the old Kamloops Residential School containing hundreds of remains.
She used GPR in the dig at the Monashee Internment Camp, she said, but not for graves.
"We used it here for building floors and remnants of the various structures and what-nots," Beaulieu said.

The Historical Thesaurus of English (HTE) is the largest thesaurus in the world. It is called a historical thesaurus as it arranges the whole vocabulary of English, from the earliest written records in Old English to the present, according to the first documented occurrence of a word in the entire history of the English language. The HTE was conceived and begun in 1965 by the English Language & Linguistics department of the University of Glasgow, who have ever since continued to compile the thesaurus. From the 1980s onwards the project was moved from paper-based records to a computer database.

Today, the HTE is available to the public online, but a print version, the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (HTOED), was published in 2009.

Main project: The Historical Thesaurus of English (HTE)
The Historical Thesaurus of English (HTE) is a complete database of all the words in the Oxford English Dictionary and other dictionaries (including Old English), arranged by semantic field and date. In this way, the HTE arranges the whole vocabulary of English, from the earliest written records in Old English to the present, alongside dates of use.

It is the first historical thesaurus to be compiled for any of the world's languages and contains 800,000 meanings for 600,000 words, within 230,000 categories.  As the HTE website states, "in addition to providing hitherto unavailable information for linguistic and textual scholars, the Historical Thesaurus online is a rich resource for students of social and cultural history, showing how concepts developed through the words that refer to them."

Structure
The work is divided into three main sections: the External World, the Mind, and Society. These are broken down into successively narrower domains. The text eventually discriminates more than 236,000 categories.
The second order categories are:

I. The External World

 The earth
 Life
 Health and disease
 People
 Animals
 Plants
 Food and drink
 Textiles and clothing
 Physical sensation
 Matter
 Existence and causation
 Space
 Time
 Movement
 Action/operation
 Relative properties
 The supernatural

II. The Mind

 Mental capacity
 Attention and judgment
 Goodness and badness
 Emotion
 Will
 Possession
 Language

III. Society

 Society and the community
 Inhabiting and dwelling
 Armed hostility
 Authority
 Law
 Morality
 Education
 Faith
 Communication
 Travel and travelling
 Occupation and work
 Trade and finance
 Leisure

History
The ambitious project was announced at a 1965 meeting of the Philological Society by its originator, Michael Samuels.  Work on the HTE started in the same year.

In 2017, the University of Glasgow was awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher Education for the HTE.

A second edition of the online HTE is currently in progress and is expected to be launched in late 2020. Work is released on the freely-available HTE website when available.

Print edition: Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (HTOED)

On 22 October 2009, after 44 years of work, version 1.0 of the HTE was published by Oxford University Press in a two-volume slipcased set as the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (HTOED). The two hardcover volumes together total nearly 4,500 pages.

As Finland drops TV licence fees for a means-tested tax, what does the future hold for other nations?

For some people, TV licence fees represent an archaic throwback to some prehistoric age when televisions were little more than bulky, black-and-white boxes. For others, however, a state-enforced fee helps ensure quality, impartial, ad-free public service broadcasts.
Naturally, your viewpoint on the above will likely be colored by a number of factors – such as where you live, your age and even your political leanings. It's a highly divisive subject, and there are strong cases for both arguments.
For example, in an age where we have satellite, cable and Internet-based television, all of which is either ad-supported or subscription-based, why do so many countries still cling on to this annual TV tax? Conversely, with almost every avenue of information and entertainment these days built upon an ad-based 'commercial' business model, shouldn't we value the likes of the BBC?
TV licence fees: A European phenomenon?
Everyone in the UK who watches or records TV as it is broadcast needs to be covered by a TV licence. This includes TV on computers and mobile phones – it's probably fair to say that the very definition of what a TV actually is these days has led to an even louder anti-licence fee voice. Technology has evolved, therefore the business models should evolve too, or words to that effect.
The UK Government sets the level of the licence fee, and in January 2007 it was agreed for a six-year period with the amount being approved each year by Parliament. More recently, the Government decided to freeze the licence fee at its 2010 level of £145.50 per year (that's £2.80 a week) until the end of the current BBC Charter period in 2016. The licence fee covers a commercial-free BBC, including TV, Radio and online services.
TV licence fees are fairly common across Europe, with 26 countries having some form of annual television levy in place. A handful of countries across Asia and Africa also have licence fees in place, including Japan and South Africa. But by and large, outside of Europe, licence fees have either never existed or have been abolished.
The curious case of Finland
Finland, though, is a curious case. It will soon start phasing out its annual licence fee – costing around €250 per household – in favor of a ring-fenced tax, levied from each adult (rather than household) regardless of television ownership. This is to fund the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE).
The so-called YLE tax is essentially means-tested, whereby the poorest won't have to pay anything at all, and median income couples potentially paying up to €280 in total.
The 'Difference to TV licence' column in the above table is clearly a little misleading, in that a flat-share with a group of adult friends would seemingly end up costing a lot more compared to the old system. And get this, it doesn't just apply to people – companies too will be expected to pay something. Firms with sales below €400,000 will be exempt, but other companies could have to pay up to €600 a year. Even if there's not a TV anywhere near the premises.
It's worth also looking at Australia, which abolished all licence fees in 1974 to adopt a public-funding approach instead. This essentially meant that its ad-free public service ABC is funded through government grants, amounting to around A$1 billion a year, with support from its own commercial activities. So while Australia has no specific licence fees as such, it's still funded by the taxpayer, indirectly at least.
So…what are the options?
Any country looking to move away from compulsory TV licence fees can follow one of three routes:
Implement a means-tested 'tax-at-source' system which safeguards the commercial-free nature of public service broadcasting, as Finland is deploying from next year.
Or, governments could follow Australia's model and abolish all direct fees/taxes altogether, choosing to fund the broadcasters from their own coffers (well, you know what I mean).
We could completely do away with all the BBCs of the world and have entirely commercially-supported networks.
As I've written before, as a UK resident I'm a fan of the current licence fee model. I'd pay the £2.80 a week for iPlayer alone. But there are a lot of very vocal critics of this enforced model, so one feels it may only be a matter of time before some kind of reform will be pushed through by one of the political parties to appease the voters – but if you consider the other options, are they better?
Finland will soon make every adult pay an annual tax, irrespective of whether they own a TV or not. Personally, I'm not entirely against that, but I can definitely understand why someone might take umbrage at this. As for the Australia model, that really sounds a lot like what Finland is about to implement, except it takes the funding behind the scenes so it's not directly attributable as a per-adult cost.
I can see why many argue for an entirely commercial approach, as is the case in many countries, as it's in keeping with the way the industry has evolved. Let's face it, there's no way the BBC business model would be given the green-light today, it's very much part of the old world order.
But there is still significant demand for quality, ad-free TV and radio that have genuine claims to impartiality, and the decision to lose TV licence fees shouldn't be taken lightly…and I'm sure it won't be.
That said, with the likes of Netflix, YouTube and the slew of other IPTV services that no doubt exist where you live, it's hard to see TV licence fees existing in their current form for another ten years.

Recent research has indicated that common although highly safe and sound public/private key encryption strategies are vulnerable to fault-based episode. This in essence means that it is currently practical to crack the coding devices that we trust every day: the safety that bankers offer designed for internet savings, the code software that individuals rely on for people who do buiness emails, the safety packages that individuals buy off the shelf within our computer superstores. How can that be feasible?
Well, different teams of researchers had been working on this, but the 1st successful check attacks were by a group at the University of Michigan. They could not need to know about the computer equipment – they will only required to create transient (i. elizabeth. temporary or perhaps fleeting) secrets in a computer system whilst it absolutely was processing protected data. Therefore, by inspecting the output data they determined incorrect results with the mistakes they developed and then figured out what the primary 'data' was. Modern reliability (one exclusive version is known as RSA) relies on a public major and a personal key. These encryption beginning steps-initial are 1024 bit and use significant prime amounts which are merged by the program. The problem is just like that of breaking a safe — no good is absolutely protected, but the better the secure, then the more time it takes to crack that. It has been overlooked that protection based on the 1024 tad key may take too much time to resolve, even with all the computers on earth. The latest studies have shown that decoding may be achieved in a few days, and even faster if considerably more computing electric power is used.
How should they bust it? Modern day computer random access memory and COMPUTER chips do are so miniaturised that they are vulnerable to occasional defects, but they are made to self-correct when ever, for example , a cosmic ray disrupts a memory area in the computer chip (error solving memory). Waves in the power can also cause short-lived www.batatacomcachorro.com (transient) faults in the chip. Such faults had been the basis from the cryptoattack in the University of Michigan. Be aware that the test crew did not want access to the internals of the computer, just to be 'in proximity' to it, my spouse and i. e. to affect the power. Have you heard about the EMP effect of a nuclear surge? An EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) is a ripple in the global innate electromagnetic field. It might be relatively localized depending on the size and correct type of bomb used. Many of these pulses may be generated over a much smaller range by a great electromagnetic heart beat gun. A tiny EMP weapon could use that principle locally and be utilized to create the transient nick faults that may then get monitored to crack security. There is a person final angle that affects how quickly security keys could be broken.
The amount of faults to which integrated outlet chips happen to be susceptible depend upon which quality with their manufacture, with no chip is ideal. Chips may be manufactured to offer higher carelessness rates, by simply carefully discover contaminants during manufacture. Fries with higher fault costs could accelerate the code-breaking process. Low-cost chips, just simply slightly more prone to transient difficulties than the normal, manufactured over a huge level, could turn into widespread. China produces recollection chips (and computers) in vast volumes. The ramifications could be significant.

There are a growing number of resource available to help you get up and coding as quickly as possible.  I previously mentioned [Hyper-Dev](https://hyperdev.com/) by Fog Creek.

Both of these offerings can get you developing in a matter of seconds – skipping past all the configuration and setup of a new development install.  So both seem well suited to class learning – especially if you are the teacher – just prep everything up and away you go.

Were as Hyper-Dev is aimed more at providing a scratch pad for quick prototyping and then evolution into production (I'm rather worried that they are pushing the prototype into production thing – always a worry).

Katacoda goes down the learning route – providing a number of course structures straight away.  Certainly worth a look to see what they have if you are learning a new language or system.

## [Humanitarian Toolbox](http://www.htbox.org/)
I've long been an advocate that if you want showcase your talents, then open source projects are a great place to do it.

The Humanitarian Toolbox is a good project to look at.  It aims to provide technological tools to help humanitarian organisations in their work.  I've not looked at the code, but the aims are good.

## [Bootstrap 4 – Visual Guide](https://medium.com/wdstack/bootstrap-4-whats-new-visual-guide-c84dd81d8387#.9rgflitpp)
Great article discussing the differences between Bootstrap 3 & 4.

Looks like some interesting changes – if nothing else the change in the grid sizes – one to watch out for.

Bootstrap 4 is still in Alpha (released 27th July 2016) – so likely to be more changes to come.

## [Augury](https://augury.angular.io/)
A Chrome extension to assist with the debugging of Angular 2 Application

I believe this used to called Batarang.

It is intended to augment the Chrome developer tools to assist with Angular 2 development.  I'm probably a few months off playing with Angular 2, so one for the future todo list.

## [Progressive Web Apps](https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/)
A site by Google showing developers how to take advantage of client side functionality to turn a mobile website into something closer to an offline app.

It looks to take advantage of HTML5 features like offline storage.  Good first step into making your mobile website a better experience for the user.

## Shameless self-promotion
Again a quite week.

I had hoped to complete my series on Asp.Net Core – upgrading from RC1 to RTM.  Unfortunately technology is conspiring against me (feel free to remind me of the bad workman blaming his tools – I can take it).  Good chance I'm going to have to rebuild my laptop (never something I enjoy doing).

I have also been working on an animated advert for RFC – something to use on LinkedIn & Website homepage.  I'm struggling to get the audio to work any sense.  This is very much down to me doing a DIY effort with the wrong tools (a lot of Powerpoint).  Good chance that it will never see the light of day.

A moving and haunting account of singer Edwyn Collins's long and difficult recovery from a stroke.
Directors Edward Lovelace, James Hall
Producers Julia Nottingham, Lucas Ochoa, Thomas Benski
With Edwyn Collins, Grace Maxwell, William Collins
UK distribution Pulse Films
The only terms Edwyn Collins could recall when he emerged from a massive hemorrhagic stroke that hospitalised him for six months in 2005 were 'yes', 'no', 'Grace Maxwell' and 'the possibilities are endless'. One of the UK's best-loved and most respected singer/songwriters was cast adrift from his previous life. The first act of Edward Lovelace and James Hall's moving film reflects Collins's feelings of disorientation and confusion. Into this swirling mindscape come bursts of memory, a young, handsome pop star full of verve and confidence. Collins's son William is cast as a young Edwyn, courting Grace (Yasmin Paige), the woman who would become his partner, manager and the rock to which he anchors his recovery. And what a recovery it is, as the film sensitively charts Collins's extraordinary and heroic efforts as he works toward performing his old songs again, and writing and recording new material.

The Role of Korean Red Ginseng in Treating ADHD - Is It Really Effective?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), though the ratio is only 5% of the world's entire child population, according to the report of National Institutes of Health, in number it is actually millions of children who are afflicted with ADHD. There is still no absolute cure found for this disease.
Despite few clinical studies regarding the theory that Ginseng can treat ADHD, this medicinal herb is claimed to have immense benefits in treating ADHD and related disorders. There lies physiological and biochemical reasons behind such a claim – ingesting ginseng can be a good complementary therapy for treating ADHD.
Therefore, first let us know more on Ginseng and ADHD.
Ginseng is a traditional herb enriched with medicinal properties, which aid in treating various ailments. Mainly, the roots of ginseng are used in preparing nutritional supplements. These supplements can come in the form of pills, powder, or tonic – all derived from ginseng root extract.
Korean red ginseng is the most effective and popular among all types of ginsengs. It is claimed to relieve various diseases such as diabetics, inflammation, arthritis, sexual dysfunction, hormonal deficiency, lung infection, liver problem, immunodeficiency, cancer etc. Its stimulating effect also treats mental and psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, lack of energy, depression etc. The primary mechanism of Korean red ginseng are ginsenoside saponins, powerful molecules with adaptogenic functions at the cellular level in the body. Naturally used by the plant to endure harmful environment, this class of molecules, unique to ginseng species, has a variety protective functions in human beings.
Sometimes, children with ADHD grow symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity such as not playing quietly, talking excessively, being restless, squirming when seated, interrupting others, blurting out replies etc.
In adults, symptoms of ADHD shifts. They suffer from lack of organization skills, relationship problems, depression, addiction, mood swings, lack of concentration, impulsiveness, procrastination, boredom, frustration, stress, problems at work etc.
Ginseng can be a multi-beneficial herbal therapy of ADHD. It doesn't merely contain a single compound, rather it contains a combination of many substances with potential medicinal benefits. All these compounds function together to improve the mental and body function, and thus treat ADHD. For standardization, ginseng should be grown to 6 years prior to harvest, as this is the age of maturation of the ginseng root, and a 6-years-grown ginseng is highly associated with positive health results.
Ginseng converts nutrients in the soil to its base healthy, functional components. It takes 6 years for ginseng to produce the wide variety of healthy components which have chain-reactions in the human body in useful quantities. Furthermore, ginseng should not be grown in the same land, crop after crop (the land must lay fallow for considerably long periods in order to restore the nutrients). Therefore, ginseng should be grown by ethical, well-known growers and grown for 6 years.
Normal dopamine level is necessary for a regular brain function. If there is any deficit in the dopaminergic pathway due to reduced dopamine levels in the areas between neuronal cells and various other key areas of your brain, you may develop symptoms of ADHD. Ginseng contains substances that can regularize the dopamine levels protecting the pathway from potential threats, and this herb also speeds the neurodevelopmental process.
A certain proportion of agility is required between the neuronal cells to let the brain link itself to adapt to the newly learned things. This new connection-building ability of neurons is known as 'synaptic plasticity'. ADHD patients suffer from learning disabilities and memorization problems due to lack of this connection building. Korean red ginseng is rich in elements which strengthen the communication between neuronal cells by stimulating them. These elements also enhance the memorization capacity for longer term.
One of the significant factors that cause ADHD is the lack of oxygen and glucose content in brain. This shortage leads to the development of inattention, impulsiveness, and lack of concentration. Ginseng isolates promote aerobic glucose metabolism and thus improves brain function.
ADHD patients suffer from the deficiency of a neuro-signaling agent, norepinephrine, which causes motor behavioral dysfunction, attention deficit, auditory processing delay, complex cognitive processes etc. Red ginseng increases norepinephrine levels in the affected areas and thus aids in brain function.
The development of some regions of brain comes at a cease due to ADHD. In adults, often it results in premature aging of brain. Ginseng elements aid in neuronal growth as well as repair damaged neuronal cells. Thus, this medicinal herb fights against death of cells and inflammatory damage.
You cannot be negligent in treating such a sensitive disease, as ADHD. It may turn out to be severe any time. Why don't you consider taking ginseng supplements as a complementary therapy in treating ADHD? Korean red ginseng tea can be your ideal stimulant.

Cambodia elections: Opposition could gain seats
by Arno Maierbrugger - Jul 28, 2013
Cambodia's opposition leader Sam Rainsy
The ongoing election in Cambodia on July 28 will highly likely result in a clear majority for Prime Minister Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP), but analysts believe that the opposition could dent his success by gaining more seats in the parliament than expected.
Currently, the 5.7-million-member CPP holds 90 of 123 seats in the parliament, and the main opposition, the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) of popular party leader and former finance minister Sam Rainsy, holds 29.
Hun Sen, a former Khmer Rouge commander and Asia's longest-serving prime minister since 1985, faces increasing criticism about his authoritarian rule especially from urban and younger Cambodians who say they want to fight for "true democracy" and against vote-buying and other irregularities.
"The partisanship of the military and police has created an intimidating atmosphere for voters in many parts of the country," US-based Human Rights Watch said in a statement.
More than 9.6 million people are eligible to vote in a country that registered one of the fastest growth rates in Southeast Asia in 2012, helped by a vibrant garment export industry and strong economic ties with China. But the development has also lead to social tensions over poor factory conditions and rural land rights in the impoverished country of 14 million.

Disputes heighten tension between China and neighbors

The Second Thomas Shoal might not seem like much. A small reef about 125 nautical miles from the Philippines in the South China Sea, it is home to a rusting Filipino warship named the Sierra Madre that ran aground in 1999 — and little else.
Yet in early March, Chinese ships tried to block the Filipino navy from bringing supplies to a small group of marines stationed on the Sierra Madre. When a Filipino ship slipped past the blockade and reached the shoal, China cried foul, accusing the Philippines, according to Reuters, of an "illegal occupation."
The reef is just one of a number of flashpoints between China and its Asian neighbors over territory in the South China Sea and the East China Sea. As with the Second Thomas Shoal, nearly all of the islands in dispute are of little value themselves—but the surrounding sea lanes, fisheries and potential undersea oil and gas resources are.
China has claimed much of the South China Sea, defining its area by what it calls the "nine-dash line," which extends hundreds of miles south and east from the southern coast of the mainland to waters closer to inhabited parts of the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam. Conflicts over the islands have occasionally been deadly. Fighting between Chinese and Vietnamese troops over disputed islands in 1974 and 1988 left about 130 Vietnamese dead, according to the BBC.
In this Sept. 2, 2012 file photo, the survey ship Koyo Maru, left, chartered by Tokyo city officials, sails around Minamikojima, foreground, Kitakojima, middle right, and Uotsuri, background, the tiny islands in the East China Sea, called Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese.

Recently the conflicts have been more minor, as in 2012, when China seized the disputed Scarborough Shoal after the Philippines tried to arrest Chinese fishermen. Both countries agreed to withdraw from the area, but only the Philippines did, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Philippines has pursued legal efforts to resolve the conflict. Last year, it brought the dispute to the U.N's Permanent Court of Arbitration, challenging China's claims under the U.N.'s Convention on the Law of the Sea.
"It is about defending what is legitimately ours…it is about guaranteeing freedom of navigation for all nations," Albert del Rosario, the Philippine foreign secretary said in March, according to the BBC.
China has chosen not to take part in the case, and says it will not accept the rulings. The Philippines should "stop going any further down the wrong track so as to avoid further damage to bilateral relations," a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman told the British broadcaster.
The outcome is likely to have interesting consequences, said Bonnie Glaser, a senior advisor for Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Whether Beijing chooses to ignore any ruling "might also tell us about whether China, as a nation, is going to abide by international law or is going to challenge and basically flout international law when it doesn't serve its interests," she said in an interview.
In the East China Sea, it's China and Japan at odds over a group of eight uninhabited islands and rocks that are known as the Senkaku islands in Japan and the Diaoyu islands in China. Near fishing grounds, shipping lanes and oil and gas reserves, the islands have been a source of rising tension — the U.S. has been drawn into the dispute.
In November, China announced a new air defense zone over a part of the East China Sea that included the islands, requiring aircraft in the area to report to their flight plans and nationalities to Chinese authorities. The U.S., which has a defense pact with Japan, said it wouldn't recognize the Chinese claim, and it flew two B-52 bombers through the area in what the State Department called a planned military exercise.
On April 23, President Obama tied the U.S. even closer to Japan's position by telling Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper that the Senkaku islands were included in the defense pact, implying that the U.S. would respond militarily to Chinese occupation of the islands.
That led to a rebuke from China the next day. "The United States should respect the facts, in a responsible manner abide by its commitment not to choose sides over a territorial sovereignty issue, be cautious on words and deeds, and earnestly play a constructive role for peace and stability in the region," a Chinese foreign affairs spokesman said in a news conference, according to the New York Times.
The complicated nature of the disputes in the South China Sea and the East China Sea means they receive little international attention, said Ely Ratner, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Center for a New American Security. But he said he thinks that in terms of the long-term interests of the U.S., the conflicts are as important — if not more important — than many of the more visible ones, such as the situations in Syria or Ukraine.
"Across almost any metric: economic, political, security, social, the future of the Asia-Pacific region is more important to the United States than many of these other regions where we're expending huge amounts of resources," he said in an interview. "And so not getting these problems right will have much more dire implications than not managing crises elsewhere in the world."
Most of the actors in both disputes are pushing toward competition rather than cooperation, he added.
"Even if there were original root causes in resources or whatnot, the issues have gotten so politicized," he said. "It's become an issue of nationalism and sovereignty that most leaders are unwilling to be seen as compromising on."

If you want the short answer to this question then here it is; it is unlikely you will ever be a professional bicycle rider. Honestly; it is one of the most difficult things in the world to do. There are very few professional competitions out there, and to take part in them you need to be incredibly good. Wait; you need to be absolutely amazing. If you want the long answer to being a professional bicycle rider then you should read on.
Firstly; there is no such thing as a generic professional rider. You will have to have a specialism. Do you want to professionally ride trails? Want to road race? Sprint Trials? BMX tricks? You have to know what you want to do. You are also going to need to get very good at it too. It will take many years of practice, and many hours of practice by the end of it too. You may not even be successful at the end of it all. Hopefully you end up having tons of fun along the way though!
If you wish to be a professional rider then you are going to need to enter as many amateur competitions as you possibly can. You need to win them too. Quite often sponsors will head to amateur competitions in order to 'scout out' people who have potential talent. Who knows; if you really outshine everybody else in that event then you may just get an offer to hit the big time.
I have seen a number of cyclists get professional sponsorship by entering amateur competitions and by now it seems to be the only real route into the professional level of the sport. Of course; winning some amateur events may give you a 'pass' to a professional event but nowadays these seem to be few and far between.
If you end up getting sponsorship money, and I must again stress that this is quite rare in itself, then your sponsor will be funding your training. They will also try and get you into professional events. The majority of sponsors out there will know the cycling industry pretty well and thus this should be fairly easy. Your only job is to train and train.
Do however remember that the sponsor is most likely not going to be giving you that money out of the goodness of their heart. They are giving you that money because they want to see a return on their investment. If you do not generate them a return on their investment (i.e. start to win events) then they will ditch you pretty quickly. This is why it is important to work hard.
If you enter the world of professional cycling then you will be up against some of the best. Nobody expects you to win the event obviously, but they do expect you to give people a run for their money. If you are consistently near the lower end of the results table then your professional bicycle career will be over pretty sharpish.


I never had a fireman, doctor, or cowboy stage. I always wanted to be an artist. I didn't know what being an artist meant, but I did know that making images is what made me feel most alive and connected to the world. It still is.
As a child I was always getting into trouble for staring at people. The thing I wanted to look at then and still want to look at now is the figure, or on occasion a space or objects permeated with the figures heavy absence.
I work simultaneously in several different print and paint mediums. I choose each medium for its specific qualities, which dictate my process and become an active participant in the final image. In printmaking my overriding interest is in the multiple- not as a way of producing an edition, a "run" of a single image, but as a way of producing variations on a theme. These variations occur through working proofs, multiple states, varied inking, material choices, and chance. In painting, color takes center stage along with in the case of oil paint a visceral physical presence. De Kooning said it best when he said "flesh was the reason oil paint was invented." I am often asked if I am a painter or a printmaker. The answer would be neither- I am a "drawer." Drawing is the most essential and direct form of visual communication. All of my other mediums are rooted in the practice of perceptual drawing with its constant negotiations between what you see and what you think you see, what you know and what you think you know.
My works paintings, prints, and drawings deal with the figure and with questions regarding the human condition. The human condition's basic elements, the search for life's meaning, inevitable loneliness, desire for gratification through food or intimacy, and the omnipresent knowledge of our own mortality are all themes in my works- sometimes implicitly, sometimes explicitly. These facts of the human experience have caused me to become obsessed with portraying the skins meaty physicality, vulnerability, and poignantly beautiful imperfections. The corporeal material of the body finds its counterpart in a direct and purposefully unpolished mark. The people, places, and objects portrayed are primarily those I know best and interact with daily.
My stated visual interests manifest themselves two different albeit complementary and intertwined, bodies of prints and paintings: 1) observational portraits and nudes and 2) works that are narrative or symbolic in content.
In the first, I record my subject matter through a direct, prolonged, and rigorous scrutiny of the figure. I place my emphasis on the formidable challenge of rendering my physical sensations of light, form, space, and color, as filtered through my interest in the corporeal qualities of the figure. This practice follows directly from my training and teaching in life drawing. Through repeated looking I aim to produce images that neither evoke the icy stare of the clinician nor suggest the subjective exaggerations of expressionism. These observational works call into question the act of looking and our assumptions about the appearance of the thing most familiar to us, the figure. I want these works to be formally rigorous and yet contain the smell and feel of the human body. The artists I look to again and again to inform this pursuit are Rembrandt, Degas, Cezanne, Giacometti, and Lucian Freud.
The second body of work is more overtly narrative and symbolic. In it, I attempt to make visible the disjunction between our shared external reality and our internal stream of consciousness a dialogue only hinted at in the more purely observational work. These images usually start in my imagination rather than observation and reach fruition through a combination of observational painting and pictorial invention. I want these works to have the same corporeal presence as my more straight-ahead depictions with the added emotion or psychological punch of unexpected content and juxtaposition. I look to Goya, Courbet, Kollwitz, and Beckmann as models for this specific inquiry.

Employee Engagement Key to Successful Sustainability Program
A recent report released by financial services firm Jones Lang LaSalle claims companies that implement successful sustainability initiatives solicit employee participation and recommends organizing the engagement process into three phases: raising awareness, building engagement and maintaining commitment.
The first phase involves educating employees on important sustainability issues and linking them to the overall business strategy. UK residential property firm Grainger hosted a half-day seminar for 10 percent of its employees that discussed the company's efforts at resilience in the face of potential adverse housing trends. In a post-event survey, 100 percent of participants reported they would like to continue to contribute to the development of the company's CSR strategy and to attend similar future events.
In phase two, companies must focus on building engagement, which includes identifying sustainability "champions" to motivate employees to connect with the program vision and goals, while adopting sustainable behavior that leads to action. Companies also should educate employees about the difference their actions are making and how they can influence the future of the sustainability program.
Bank of America's My Environment program, which began as a simple way to educate employees on environmental topics, has transformed into an action-oriented global community dedicated to helping the company meet its sustainability goals. Within two years of its inception, the initiative grew to include 12,000 active employee participants in 26 countries.
Scaling up projects and developing long-term sustainability commitments characterize phase three: Companies must develop applicable and repeatable processes and put in place best practice and innovative idea-sharing tools to foster engagement and develop long-term commitment for sustainable actions.
After launching its global Green Team program, CA Technologies reduced its paper consumption in Paris by 10.5 percent and measured its waste stream in Sydney to raise the percentage of recycling and reuse to between 85 to 90 percent of overall waste.
Through implementing these steps, the report says companies will build employee-driven momentum that can take their sustainability programs to a new level.
Recent months have seen a steady stream of reports analyzing sustainability best practices. In March, the Retail Industry Leaders Association released its 2013 Retail Sustainability Report, which highlights progress towards the industry's evolving sustainability objectives and identifies a class of top-performing characteristics.

Archie Battersbee's life support set to be switched off this morning
The 12-year-old's treatment will end today, unless an application is made to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) by 9am.
Emily Sergeant - 3rd August 2022
Archie Batterbee's life support is set to be switched off this morning, pending a final attempt by his family to postpone the decision.
It comes after the 12-year-old from Southend in Essex was found unconscious with a ligature over his head after believing to have taken part in an online challenge back on 7 April 2022, and has been in a coma ever since without regaining consciousness.
Declared "brain-stem dead" by medical professionals, he is being kept alive by a combination of medical interventions – including ventilation and drug treatments.
The High Court previously ruled that Archie's treatment should come to an end and his life support should be switched off, and the Court of Appeal upheld that decision, before the Supreme Court denied extensions on several occasions.
But his parents, Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee, have refused to give up their fight.
His parents claim that stopping treatment would be in breach of the UK's obligations under Articles 10 and 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, and Article 6 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Children.

Having been at the centre of a lengthy legal dispute over the last few months, the family's appeal against the decision to end his treatment was refused by the Supreme Court on Tuesday, and Ms Dance said that her son's treatment would end, unless an application was made to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) by 9am.
Archie's life support will be withdrawn at 11am if an application is not submitted to the ECHR in time, Ms Dance confirmed.

The Supreme Court panel said on Tuesday in its ruling that, while they have "great sympathy with the plight of Archie's devoted parents," they believe there is "no prospect of any meaningful recovery", adding that: "Even if life-sustaining treatment were to be maintained, Archie would die in the course of the next few weeks through organ failure and then heart failure."
"The panel reaches this conclusion with a heavy heart," the ruling said.

Barts NHS Health Trust – which runs the Royal London Hospital in east London, where Archie is being treated – said it would continue to "work with the family to prepare for the withdrawal of treatment", but speaking after the Supreme Court's decision, Ms Dance said she would "fight to the bitter end".
She felt the system to decide treatment options where there is a dispute between families and hospital trusts "needs reforming dramatically," and she hopes they have "paved the way" for any other parents wanting to go up against a trust in this country and the justice system.
A government spokesperson said in response to the ongoing fight ahead of the final bid this morning to extend Archie's treatment that "our thoughts are with Archie Battersbee's family at this incredibly difficult time".
"It is right that decisions about Archie's treatment are taken by expert doctors and the courts."

M&S to upsize into new anchor unit at White Rose Leeds
Marks and Spencer has signed an agreement to relocate into a new anchor store within White Rose Leeds, an out of town retail & leisure destination in Yorkshire.
The bespoke unit will include almost 80,000 sq ft of dedicated trading space and was formerly occupied by Debenhams until its closure in May 2021.
It will feature a 15,000 sq ft M&S Foodhall, as well as womenswear, lingerie, beauty, childrenswear, menswear, and home departments, and for the first time at White Rose, an M&S Café.
All staff will be retained and transferred to the new M&S, with additional recruitment to support the larger store, and the existing store within White Rose will remain open until the new unit is ready.
The relocation has been made possible by Landsec's proposals to transform the former Debenhams unit. Landsec are investing significant capital into the unit, with planning secured for a comprehensive modernisation of the main front elevation to create a new, full-height glazed frontage, and car park entrance including new electric vehicle charge points and enhanced public realm.
Works are set to commence in October 2021, with a target launch date in 2023.
The move also forms part of M&S's store estate transformation, a process designed to meet the needs of customers now and in the future, reflecting the changing nature of shopping habits.
Paula Varley, Regional Manager for M&S, said: "We're really excited to announce our plans to move to a brand-new, larger M&S full line store in White Rose. All colleagues in our existing store will move to work in the new store and we're also delighted to be creating new roles on top of this. This investment in Leeds and the wider local area is part of the reshaping of our store estate to make sure it's fit for the future, meeting the needs of customers today – and those of tomorrow."
Pablo Sueiras, Senior Portfolio Director at Landsec, added: "We are shaping White Rose Leeds in a way that truly meets all the needs of our community, combining fashion, dining, leisure, and convenience. We have seen over the last year just how important the offer of brands like M&S has been, and we are delighted to have secured this upsize with them.
"The relocation and significantly upsized M&S store also demonstrates the strong performance at White Rose, and the centre's role in providing flagship stores for key brands in the region. This follows upsizes in recent years with Next and River Island, and is further evidence of our commitment to support operators that want to expand their offer at White Rose."

Turkish PM's wife Emine Erdoğan attends education project night
ISTANBUL – Anatolia News Agency
Emine Erdoğan. DHA Photo
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's wife, Emine Erdoğan, said on Feb. 28 the significance of schools in eastern and southeastern provinces should not be underestimated, even though society does not see them.
"[Just] because society does not see [them], the importance of schools in the eastern and southeastern provinces does not decrease," Emine Erdoğan said in a speech during a night organized for the project, titled "My country is like no other," which was co-organized by the Education Ministry and Turkish Businesswomen Association (TİKAD) with the support of the Family and Social Policies Ministry. The project aims to improve the physical needs of schools in eastern and southeastern provinces.
"If those schools did not exist, thousands of students would lack education," she said, adding that the needs of these schools are more than one can imagine. Praising the campaign for the schools, Erdoğan said that one cannot distance themselves from these problems by becoming indifferent to them.
"We are all living under the same sky on the same land and marching to the same future," she said, adding that terrorism and migration affect every part of the country.
"It is time to struggle against the problems, not complain," she added.
Erdoğan delivered a plaque to the contributors of the project.

A machete-wielding man killed a sexton and injured a priest at two Catholic churches in the city of Algeciras on Wednesday before being arrested, Spain's interior ministry said. Authorities are investigating the attacks as a possible act of terrorism.
The U.S. Justice Department sued Google on Jan. 24 for its dominance of the online advertising market, launching a fresh legal battle against the California-based tech giant.

En la mitología griega, Ismene (Ἰσμήνη) es una hija del matrimonio incestuoso de Edipo y Yocasta (o de Eurigania según otras versiones), y hermana por tanto de Eteocles, Polinices y Antígona.

Cuando Edipo abdicó del trono de Tebas abrumado por su tragedia, sus hijos varones decidieron compartirlo, alternándose en el poder cada año. Edipo les maldijo por el trato denigrante que le habían dado, pero los hermanos ignoraron sus advertencias y confiaron en la buena fe recíproca.

Pero cuando el primer año del reinado de Eteocles llegó a su fin, este se negó a traspasar el poder a su hermano. Polinices reunió a un grupo de poderosos aliados e intentó recuperar el trono por la fuerza mediante el asedio que se conoce como Los siete contra Tebas. En la lucha fratricida que siguió murieron numerosos héroes tebanos, como Atis, que había sido el prometido de Ismene desde la infancia y fue muerto por Tideo.

Intentando dar fin a la contienda, Eteocles y Polinices se enfrentaron en lucha singular, y acabaron traspasándose mutuamente con su espada, lo que facilitó que su tío Creonte se proclamase nuevo rey de la ciudad.

Una de las primeras acciones del tirano fue declarar traidor a Polinices y prohibir, bajo pena de muerte, que su cuerpo recibiese la debida sepultura. Pero Antígona desafió este decreto y salió de la ciudad para incinerar a su hermano. Por este crimen, y para eliminar de paso a un miembro de la familia peligroso en potencia, Creonte ordenó que Antígona fuera enterrada viva en la misma tumba de Polinices, ignorando los ruegos de su hijo Hemón, que era amante de la condenada.

Ante esta aberración, Ismene declaró que había ayudado a su hermana y que por tanto merecía la misma suerte, a pesar de que realmente había permanecido al margen.

Finalmente los dioses, a través del adivino Tiresias, hicieron saber a Creonte su desaprobación de las sendas condenas, por lo que el tirano cambió de actitud y enterró él mismo el cadáver de Polinices. Pero ya era demasiado tarde para Antígona, que se había ahorcado para evitar ser enterrada viva. Hemón, destrozado por la colosal tragedia, se suicidó después a los pies de su amada Antígona. También se suicidó Eurídice, la esposa de Creonte y madre de Hemón, cuando se enteró de la muerte de su hijo.

Ismene intentó rehacer su vida con su amante Teoclimeno, pero Tideo la mató instigado por Atenea.

On October 29th, members of the Tufts research and scholarship community gathered to officially kick off implementation of the Research and Scholarship Strategic Plan (RSSP). Participants came from across all of Tufts' schools and campuses - the SMFA, Medford, Boston, and Grafton – and included representatives from the university leadership, Libraries, Tufts Medical Center, and external partners, highlighting the cross-disciplinary collaborative nature of the RSSP.
Part of the event's goal was to share results of the strategic planning initiative with the community and to further engage colleagues from across multiple disciplines to jointly seek out innovative solutions to pressing societal and global challenges.
President Monaco started the day off by charting the identification of strategic research priority areas based on the information gathering phase, which engaged the Tufts community widely over the course of 18 months. The priority areas closely align with expertise and current opportunity at Tufts and promise to cement Tufts' national visibility, provide strong return on investment, and benefit the University's entire intellectual community.
In addition to honing priority areas for investment, the planning phase yielded a comprehensive set of recommendations for improving Tufts' existing research and scholarship infrastructure and resources. Provost and Senior Vice President ad interim Kochevar outlined the four recommendations that were put forward by the Resources, Barriers, and Facilitators of Research and Scholarship university-wide working group. T he goal of the RSSP is to create a collaborative environment that fosters innovative research and scholarship, ensuring that the Tufts experience—for students, faculty, and staff members—is exciting and fulfilling.
The morning program featured two 1-hour lightning talk sessions in which representatives from the eight priority area funded projects presented brief overviews of their projects, followed by a curated discussion and participation from the audience.
The afternoon program included an interactive session led by the TTS Design Practice team in which participants experienced first-hand how design thinking, an evidence-based framework for generating new ideas, can help foster a durable culture of creativity and collaboration. In this generative and fun activity, participants imagined a major publication writing about the success of their working group in 2023, and, together, created the headline of the article.
In closing, VPR Meydani looked forward to the positive impact on critical world problems that the work explored throughout the day will have. She expressed Tufts' aspiration that the investment made today will boost research and scholarship, promote a research-curious culture, and advance innovation at Tufts into the future. The day ended with a networking reception.

Feature Film, 1955
Smiles of a Summer Night
Ingmar Bergman's international breakthrough took the form of this turn-of-the-century comedy about passion, jealousy and pride.
"The poor imagination of a spotty youth, the insolent dreams of an immature heart and a boundless contempt for artistic and human truth are the forces which have created this "comedy". I am ashamed to have seen it."
Olof Lagercrantz in Dagens Nyheter

Collaborators (55)
Talking about the genesis of the film in Bergman on Bergman:
As for Smiles of a Summer Night, the situation was simply that I needed another success. Journey into Autumn [Dreams] had gone to hell and I had to attach myself again to SF. It was one of the most difficult periods in my life. For a couple of years I'd been the producer at Malmö City Theater, the Harriet period was over, and I'd promised Carl-Anders Dymling that my next film wouldn't be a tragedy. He'd also intimated that if it was to be a serious piece, well then I hardly need bother my head about making a film that summer. I needed money, so I thought it wiser to make a comedy.
The shooting of Smiles of a Summer Night began on 28 June 1955, and ended on 29 August that same year.
Reminiscing in Bergman on Bergman:
'I remember how, afterwards, when they saw the film, the head office told me it had all been a dreadful miscalculation. The film wasn't funny. It was stylised. It was too lame, and too long. They'd also tumbled to the fact that it was in period costume, and just then costume films weren't doing any box-office.'
In Cannes 1956, Smiles of a Summer Night was awarded Prix de l'Humour Poétique. Bergman himself did not know that the film was represented at the festival:
'I was sitting in the shithouse reading the papers. And then I read: Swedish film gets prize at Cannes, Swedish film causes sensation, or something of that sort. What the devil film can that be, I wondered. When I saw it was Smiles of a Summer Night I couldn't believe my eyes.'
In 1973, Smiles of a Summer Night was reworked into a Broadway musical called A Little Night Music, with lyrics by Hugh Wheeler and music by Stephen Sondheim. It premiered in New York in February 1973 and later played at a number of Swedish venues. In 1977, the musical was made into a film in Austria (!), directed by Harold Prince and starring Elizabeth Taylor as Desirée Armfeldt (Eva Dahlbeck's character). More meritorious is A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy from 1982, Woody Allen's rework of Smiles of a Summer Night.
The Ingmar Bergman Archives.
Stig Björkman, Torsten Manns and Jonas Sima, Bergman on Bergman (New York: Da Capo P., 1993).
The first of Bergman's films to bring the director international success, due to its exposure at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival, was inspired by Marivaux's comedies and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and it inspired, in turn, both Stephen Sondheim's musical A Little Night Music (1973) and Woody Allen's A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (1982). It is far from being the only allusion to the Swedish master in Allen's work. The American director referred to Bergman as "probably the greatest film artist since the invention of the motion picture camera (Chaplin, 1988) and admired "this combination of intellectual artist and film technician". (Time, 2007) Allen subsequently worked with two of Bergman's collaborators – Sven Nykvist on four films (Another woman, 1987; Crimes and Misdemeanors, 1989; New York Stories, 1989; Celebrity, 1998), and Max von Sydow, who played the part of the tormented artist in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), as an implied reference to his roles in The Magician and Hour of the Wolf.
In a nod to Sawdust and Tinsel (1953), the character played by Woody Allen in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) wants to commit suicide at the end, but due to perspiration, the gun slips and the ball hits a mirror instead of him. As in Bergman's film, an insistent ticking is heard during the whole scene.

Desirée: Fredrik, you old goat, you bastard, you long-nosed camel. You're looking unusually human.

Fredrik: That's not why I came here.
Desirée: No, it was always your noblest parts that brought you to Desirée.
Fredrik: How could a woman ever love a man, can you tell me that?
Desirée: A woman's view is seldom aesthetic. And you can always turn the light out.
Desirée: Were you going to marry me?
Fredrik: Maybe I wasn't just then.
Desirée: See. Besides, your valiantly amused yourself with scores of other women.
Fredrik: But you were the headquarters.
Desirée: How long will you stay?
Carl-Magnus: I have 20 hours' permission. Three hours to come here, nine with you, five with my wife, and three back. That makes 20 hours. Would you mind if I change into my dressing-gown?
Carl-Magnus: I also see my nightshirt has proved useful. It fits you well, I hope. Not too small, not too large.
Fredrik: Very well, thank you. Not too small and… not to large.
Carl-Magnus: I can tolerate my wife's infidelity, but if anyone touches my mistress, I become a tiger!
Charlotte: So, my dear Carl-Magnus, you consider all women seducible?
Carl-Magnus: Absolutely. Age, class, conditions or looks are of no consequence.
Desirée: Even married women?
Carl-Magnus: Not least the married.
Desirée's mother: In that case, your main ally is not your own assets, but the married woman's marital ennui.
Henrik: Oh Lord. If your world is full of sin, I want sin. Let the birds build nest in my hair. Take my wretched virtue from me. I can't stand it any longer.
Judy Bloch, 2004:
One of the cinema's great erotic comedies. The plot is an Ophulsian ronde of love affairs and intrigues revolving around a middle-aged lawyer; his young wife who remains a virgin; his former mistress, a sophisticated stage actress; her lover, and his wife. They gather for a weekend at the country estate of the actress's elderly mother, who works a kind of magic on this ménage of infinite possibilities. A true parody of the ridiculous male, this is a comic working-out of an idea suggested so tragically in other Bergman films—that men are a species of beast who turn to women to save them from being totally humiliated. Not always a smart move. Woody Allen brilliantly reworked Smiles of a Summer Night in A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy, and the film also inspired the Broadway play A Little Night Music.

On Miriam Braverman
Some pieces for a biography
Miriam Ruth Gutman Braverman (1920-2002) was a socialist, writer, activist librarian and longstanding member of the Progressive Librarians Guild, a founder of ALA's Social Responsibilities Round Table, and a proponent of the social responsibilities perspective. Miriam's spirit of activism and faith in the power of people's collective efforts toward social justice is what the Miriam Braverman Award is intended to foster in future generations of librarians.
Miriam belonged to a Russian immigrant family, grew up on the Jersey shore in Perth Amboy and, after attending a women's college in New Jersey, moved to New York City where she began her life as an activist. She and her husband Harry Braverman, author of Labor and Monopoly Capital (New York: Monthly Review Press, 1974), were involved in the socialist movement in the 1940s and '50s, during which time Miriam worked in a variety of jobs before going to library school at Pratt Institute.
As a librarian in the 1960s, Miriam was involved in civil rights movement activities that included setting up libraries in the Freedom Schools of Mississippi. As a new librarian at Brooklyn Public Library in 1964, she worked with young people, and in 1979 published the book Youth, Society and the Public Library (Chicago: American Library Association). She was an activist within the American Library Association, helping to establish the Social Responsibilities Round Table, and a proponent of the social responsibilities perspective in "The Speaker" fight (a controversial film made by ALA on intellectual freedom issues).
She earned her doctorate at Columbia University, where she taught at the School of Library Services until 1982. A study she conducted that year led to the establishment of the Langston Hughes Library and Cultural Center in Queens, and in 1999 she was most happy to attend the opening of the library's new facility.
Miriam was active in labor and anti-war movements, and followed the development of the Labor Party with great interest. In the last year of her life, Miriam was enthusiastic to join PLG's Coordinating Committee.
Miriam's spirit of activism and faith in the power of people's collective efforts toward social justice is what the Miriam Braverman Award is intended to foster in future generations of librarians.
For further information about Miriam's life and activism, see John Berry's "On the Picket Line with Miriam," Library Journal, 127 (19), 2002: 8.
