Description of the flag
Fraternities Main Page
Colleges and Universities (index)
The University of New Orleans is a public institution of higher learning established in 1958 in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. The school is part of the University of Louisiana System and has an undergraduate student body of more than 6,500. The school colors are blue and silver and the sports teams' mascot is the Privateers. (www.uno.edu/)
The flag of the University of New Orleans can be seen in photographs online at www.unoalumni.com,
www.uno.edu, and www.customcatering.net.
The flag features the University's logo in white centered on a blue field. The shade of the blue field appears to be a bright blue rather than the dark blue shown in the official logo on the school's website. The logo shows the New Orleans skyline in white inside a blue circle, with the initials "uno" and a fleur-de-lis in blue within the skyline. To the right of the skyline is the school's name in white letters.

Brandon Ancona and Kweisi Kenyatte won at No. 1 doubles to improve to 11-2 as a duo this season.
The Valparaiso University men's tennis team started the spring season in style on Friday night at Match Point Tennis Club in Griffith, rolling to a 7-0 victory over Cardinal Stritch to open the dual match season in the win column. Valpo won five singles matches in straight sets, prevailed on all six singles courts and took two of the three doubles matchups.
Redshirt junior Brian Pecyna (Glen Ellyn, Ill. / Homeschooled) picked up right where he left off after a successful fall season by winning at No. 4 singles in the first match to finish. He topped Niccolo Rossi 6-1, 6-0 in a nearly flawless effort.
Junior Brandon Ancona (Belvidere, Ill. / Rockford Christian) also sustained his fall success in the spring opener. He played at the top singles spot and cruised to a 6-2, 6-0 win over Agustin Gascia.
Another quick finish came on the No. 6 singles court, where junior Gabriel Carvajal (Pembroke Pines, Fla. / Broward Virtual School [Florida Atlantic]) carved out a 6-2, 6-2 triumph over Danillo Pejovic.
Senior Chad Kissell (Latrobe, Pa. / Greater Latrobe) made his return to the court after sitting out the fall season with an injury. He topped Jose Chamba 6-3, 6-2 at No. 2.
Junior Daniel Langston (Ponca City, Okla. / Ponca City) outdid Nicolas Palacio 6-3, 6-4 at No. 5, while sophomore Kweisi Kenyatte (Detroit, Mich. / East English Village Preparatory) came back for a 4-6, 6-3, 10-6 win at No. 3 in the tightest singles match.
Pencya and Langston teamed for a 6-3 win at No. 3 doubles before Chamba and Pejovic topped Kissell and Brozovich 6-3 at No. 2. The doubles point hinged on the top spot, where Ancona and Kenyatte captured a 6-3 win for Valpo.
Kissell gained his 66th career singles win, the most among active players. He is eighth in program history in career singles victories, needing three more to move into a tie for sixth.
The doubles win for Kenyatte and Ancona was their 11th as a duo this season, upping their 2018-19 mark to 11-2. Ancona has 42 career doubles wins, while Kenyatte is at 26.
Pecyna boosted his season record to 9-3, while Ancona improved his mark to 9-2 and now has 47 career singles victories.
Valpo has opened the spring season with a 7-0 win in two of the last three years.
A home-heavy stretch that features five consecutive dates at Match Point Tennis Club in Griffith to begin the dual season continues on Friday, Feb. 1 as Valpo hosts Green Bay. The Phoenix will be in town for a 4 p.m. first serve. It's a rematch of the 2015 and 2016 Horizon League finals and the first matchup between the two adversaries since Valpo joined the Missouri Valley Conference.

With the Lakeville North Marching Band appearing in the Tournament of Roses parade on January 1, 2007, my Mom and I decided to drive out and back (since I knew I couldn't get her onto a plane!). We had a great trip. We drove more-or-less straight out, but then did some meandering on the way back.
The first stop we made was to "check off" the last of the major Little House on the Prairie sites across the country.
I've been to all of them except the location of this book, in Kansas. It was only about 45 miles off of our track, so we did the detour.
It was COLD and the associated museum was closed, but at least I got to stand on the land and look around at the location.
Our second stop was Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. It was another spot that I've wanted to visit since I was a kid.
I took a 1-mile hike around this area and took a bunch of pictures. This one does a good job of showing the kind of terrain and the scattered pieces of petrified wood.
There were many, many roads like this one.
We deviated from I-40 several times to follow old Route 66. I don't remember where this photo was taken, or if it was even along Route 66....but it shows what our scenery looked like for days...and days!
The last stop we made before getting into LA was to swing through Joshua Tree National Park.


It's official: Penn Olson a site focusing on social media in asia today announced that East Ventures, a venture capital firm based in Singapore, has made an investment in the Asian technology blog. The investment sum has been kept confidential.
As part of East Ventures's vision to invest in promising start-ups in the Southeast Asia region, Penn Olson fits the bill. With more than 600,000 monthly pageviews, Penn-Olson.com is one of the fastest growing blogs in Asia covering web, mobile, and start-ups in Asia.
"We're growing quickly but still, I believe we have a lot to learn from successful blogs from the U.S and experience media influencers in Asia," said Willis Wee, Founder and CEO of Penn Olson.
"Asian technology is growing and developing at an amazing rate, and so is interest from overseas. Somebody has to tell the story and we're glad to do our part for Asia. We would also hope to be the bridge between the East and the West," he added.
Founded in July 2009, Penn Olson started out as a hobby. Like any other start-ups, the blog pivoted several times before finding the right direction. Today, it has writers based in China, Indonesia, India, Japan and Singapore to cover tech stories across key regions in Asia. Penn Olson will also be looking to expand to more countries in the future.
East Ventures is an investment company, specializing in early-stage investments in Internet start-up companies.
Based in Singapore, East Ventures was founded by 4 partners with diverse and complementary backgrounds: Batara Eto, ex-CTO and co-founder of mixi.jp, the largest social networking site in Japan, Taiga Matsuyama, an experienced investor who developed several Japanese Internet companies, some of which were eventually acquired by Yahoo! Japan, Willson Cuaca, founder of Xsago, whose expertise covers mobile application development, and Chandra Tjan, with experience in Finance, Marketing and Management.
MobDis helps businesses and marketing agencies get on mobile!
Its amazing where Penn Olson will be heading. I've known Willis before he got Penn Olson up. Amazing and ambitious guy. Cheers for the story.
yeah great dude and great for the region.
Agree with @Aaron Lee. All the best to Penn Olson. It's been an amazing resource for me and many other friends. Kudos and great job guys. Wishing you an even brighter future ahead.

GO BACKS ZUBIRI IN FAST-TRACKING RELEASE OF SOCIAL WELFARE FUNDS
By durianburgdavao on November 24, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go has expressed his support to a Senate resolution urging faster release of social welfare funds to help Filipinos presently in distress.
Go also said he will co-author the Senate resolution filed by Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri urging the Department of Social Welfare and Development to fast-track the release of its available funds to help Filipinos severely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as recent calamities.
In a manifestation in support of the resolution, he submitted during the Senate plenary, Go said that he, himself, has visited typhoon victims and personally witnessed their struggles to recover from the recent calamities.
Seven typhoons visited Luzon the past four months and displaced thousands. The destructive typhoons that required massive relief operations, came even as the country is still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic.
Go acknowledged the efforts of DSWD and thanked the agency for its continuing public service to Filipinos amid the recent typhoons and ongoing pandemic. He, however, asked them to closely monitor and expedite the release of the much needed funds and services to help Filipinos recover from these challenges.
Go added that the Senate urgently passed the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act so that necessary resources can be made available to help Filipinos in need, speed up economic recovery, and enhance the country's continuing fight against COVID-19.
"The allocations must be released immediately and be utilized to help Filipinos in need," he emphasized.In a press release, the DSWD explained that the unspent PhP83- billion balance from its 2020 budget that was raised during a Senate budget hearing have been programmed for the implementation of various programs, activities, and projects for the remaining months of this year.
These include the PhP40 billion allotted for Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps); PhP2.1 billion for its Supplementary Feeding Program for Children; PhP 2.6 billion for its Sustainable Livelihood Program; PhP 3.9 billion for Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens; and PhP 13.7 billion for Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation Program.
In the press release, DSWD also emphasized that "these are all programmed funds indicated in the General Appropriations Act, which can only be modified upon receiving an approval from the DBM."DSWD also cited that the COVID-19 pandemic; imposed Inter-Agency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases guidelines; mobility challenges; constraints on manpower/resources of LGUs and other government agencies; Commission on Audit rules; Memorandum of Agreement commitments; counter-checking measures to ensure transparency/accountability; re-bidding difficulties, logistical problems; and community health risks as a result of the pandemic plus the series of typhoons have hampered and adversely affected the implementation of its various programs, activities and services.
The Department, however, assures the public that "it is exerting its best efforts to expedite the utilization of the funds for their intended purpose within the fiscal year."
The DSWD further stated that it has "painstakingly taken into consideration the necessary procedures and provisions of the law, to ensure that a lawful and judicious spending of government resources reach its intended rightful beneficiaries."

ROQUE ADVISES ROBREDO TO COURT DUTERTE


I officially began my Postal Service career in 2005 as a Postal Inspector in Anchorage, AK. Unofficially, my postal experiences started much earlier, visiting my mom, a postmaster, at her post office every day growing up. After six years exploring the wilderness of Alaska investigating mail theft, narcotics, and dangerous mail, I transferred to Las Vegas, NV and continued investigating mail-related crimes. I recently moved to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service Headquarters to join the Communications, Governance & Strategy Group as the National Public Information Officer. I currently handle media relations, internal and external communications, and supporting Postal Inspectors in the field with communication-related products and guidance.


I am very thankful EACH and every year but this year is definitely NO EXCEPTION!
Christmas actually came in early with our advance Christmas party with Beauty Blogging Friends. Celebrated at Aruga by Rockwell, we all wore black and did exchange gift during the month of November!
Then, we celebrated Christmas with the Sample Room family at The Flame Restaurant at Discovery Primea Makati. Aside from the Annual Christmas Party, Sample Room also celebrates their 4th birthday with Partner Bloggers and Beauty Insiders!
Then, I was joking Mr. AMW how I realized we have a good number of friends! At the start of the month, we celebrated my friend's birthday at the same time exchanged gifts with my highschool friends! So funny how we all turned into Ninongs and Ninangs to the kiddos! So we're not just "barkada" we are also "Kumares and Kumpares".
Then another dinner with another group of highschool friends! We celebrated at a wonderful Japanese restaurant hidden inside San Juan, the restaurant is called Tomo Japanese Restaurant and reservations is highly recommended! Food tastes great and price is affordable.
Then we met up with my College Barkada at Kettle Shangri-la Mall! Kettle has always been my to-go-to place when the family is craving for Fried Chicken! Ang sarap nga naman niya talaga!
Then just this week, Mr. AMW's highschool barkada get-together naman, they are also my friends because...well, we spent 13 years together in the same school! We ate at Planas Pantry which is located at Quezon City (near Hi-Top Supermarket). It is really a HIDDEN gem and the restaurant serves good Comfort Food!
We also celebrated in advance with Mr. AMW's family because my sister and brother-in-law are heading to London for Christmas and New Year. Since we had a great experience dining at Paradise Dynasty, we've decided to take them there!
And of course, Mr. AMW has his own office party and we visited and joined in the fun too!
Siyempre the little boy has his own social life and celebrated Christmas at Cambridge Preschool.
Our Christmas is so hectic but you won't see or hear a complaint from me! It's the best season to touch base with people who touched our lives!


Whether it's packing notes in your child's lunchbox or putting post-its on the bathroom mirror, little expressions of love make a big difference in a child's day. Notes are a simple way to connect with your children.
Hands-on parenting is a good thing. It means you are involved with every aspect of your child's life. However, every now and again, it's okay to relax your standards. Your kids will appreciate it - and so will you.


We met during the long weekend (thank god for holidays!) and since it's pretty hot in Manila right now, we wanted to have an afternoon picnic. We brought some snacks, refreshments, desserts, and my CHEERS Picnic Set to complete our little reunion.
Have you heard of Cheers? Cheers is a brand of quality hygienic napkins in all configurations, kitchen and paper towels and other party or get-together needs such as starch-based cutleries and trash bags. Think of it like your homemade party best friend!
We just prepared the food and drinks since each Picnic box set already comes with a cutlery pack, pull naps and garbage bags, which are the little things you often forget when packing for a picnic, right?
Doesn't it fit just right in our picnic? I love the packaging! The handle makes it so convenient to bring around. Plus, the box is so spacious I can put other picnic items and even reuse it after!
So happy I got to bond with my best friend again! It's always as if nothing's changed whenever we see each other again, no matter how long it has been! But even if we both know that for a fact we always make a constant effort to see each other. Social media is not enough to update one another, guys! Spending quality time with the ones you love and creating new memories with little celebrations such as this show that you really care about them. If you've been constantly delaying a date you've set with your friends or family, just clear out your schedules and just do it! Based on my experience, most of the plans that push through are the ones unplanned or last-minute anyways!
Cheers to mini reunions made extra special with CHEERS! You too can have and find your own picnic set available at SM, Puregold, Robinsons, and Metro Supermarkets for only Php 60 SRP or even lower at Php 50 at some stores! Definitely a good deal since actual cost of all the products is Php 77.75.


The leaves are turning shades of fiery red and dazzling gold. Hooray! It's finally fall, which means apple-picking adventures, hayrides, and eight Kansas City Chiefs home games.
In addition to all these great Kansas City activities, fall brings the spooky fun of Halloween. Now is the time to find the creepiest, most twisted events that are certain to make your heart pound and knees shake. For all the thrill-seekers out there, we've branched out from talking about Chevy and compiled a list of Halloween events and haunted houses in Kansas City that will have you quaking in your boots.
Worlds of Fun gets a terrifying makeover for the Halloween season. A trip to Worlds of Fun in the fall means exciting thrill rides and the chilling experiences of the Halloween Haunt. The dark side of the park comes alive with spine-tingling mazes, horrifying shows, and blood-curdling scare zones.
One haunted maze is simply not enough, so Halloween Haunt offers guests eight chances to get lost among the most unimaginable monsters on the planet. Each maze has a different horrific theme, from the cursed bayou surrounding an old mansion to the alleys of Victorian London where Jack the Ripper runs loose.
Three frightening shows will make you think twice about venturing out into the darkness of the surrounding park. "Overlord's Awakening" unleashes the Overlord's ghoulish minions into the night while the "Skeleton Crew" creates a ghastly display of acrobatic feats. Check out "Haunted Homecoming" if you want to enjoy a bit of live music before heading out for more chills and thrills.
Scare zones are located throughout the park and monsters lurk everywhere–sometimes where you least expect them. Watch out for insane clowns pulling repulsive pranks and angry witches with fearsome flying monkeys. You might run into an undead gunslinger with a score to settle or a grotesque goblin who loves human flesh.
This haunted house is not for the faint of heart.
Maybe you made it through the Werewolf Forest unscathed, but that's not the only obstacle waiting for you. You'll still need to walk through a maze where bloodthirsty monsters wait around every corner. Thunder booms, lightning blazes, and eventually you find yourself in the cobbled streets of London where the Ripper might be searching for his next victim. Had enough? Getting out isn't a piece of cake either–you'll need to brave the hair-raising, four-story slide if you want to leave.
The historic John Wornall House is the perfect place to embark on a good old-fashioned ghost tour. While these tours might not put you in the grips of terror like a staged haunted house, it's still pretty creepy to explore a place with documented supernatural encounters. You'll learn about Civil War soldiers who died an untimely death on the grounds and see presentations about real ghost sightings at the house.
The John Wornall House also offers an exciting paranormal investigation for those looking to get even closer to the other side. The after-hours event features real ghost-hunting equipment and provides a more in-depth look at the ghosts and paranormal history associated with the property.
If you love classic horror films, then Macabre Cinema is the place for you this Halloween.
This haunted experience brings you into the films that make your palms sweat and your skin crawl. You won't be able to hide under a blanket on the safe confines of your couch anymore. As you make your way through four floors of intense movie scenes, you might come face-to-face with the slash-happy Freddy Krueger or the twisted murderer, Jigsaw. You might even run into good old Chucky–you're not going to like his idea of play time.
Tamer than The Beast, The Edge of Hell haunted house relies more on sensory deprivation than a chilling atmosphere. A pitch-black maze imparts a panicky terror on most visitors as they must feel the walls to find their way out. The fact that zombies lurk in that dark maze certainly doesn't help your racing heart!
The Edge of Hell is Kansas City's oldest haunted house attraction. The five floors that make up this experience are constantly evolving, adding new technology and innovative scares every year to keep guests on their toes. Other areas include spinning walls and flashing lights that create a dizzy feeling which makes it difficult to avoid the many macabre monsters.
We might not have the frightening monsters and hellish fiends at our Lee's Summit Chevrolet dealership, but we certainly have car sales so good they're scary. If you need a new Chevy truck, car, or SUV in Kansas City, Halloween is the perfect time of year to score a deal at McCarthy Chevrolet. Call us at 816-356-6610 or simply visit our car dealership at 945 SE Oldham Parkway in Lee's Summit, MO, to test out a new 2018 or 2019 Chevy.

Representing Diverse Bodies in Medical Illustration
 Drew Danielle Belsky  October 22, 2019
In 2016, just before I began my dissertation fieldwork, a trio of young medical illustrators presented a panel on "Normativity and Diversity in Healthcare Imagery" at the annual meeting of the Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI). According to those who were at the meeting, the presentation was well-attended, but contentious. Among other statistics, the presenters pointed out that although the profession and the organization are at least 70% women, men often dominate awards and positions of power, and the vast majority of members are white. The panel's presentations addressed not only the demographics of the profession but also social inequalities arising from the prevalence of the "able-bodied, attractive/thin, young, cisgender" white male body as "standard" in medical images. In a moment of informal conversation that fall, a friend of one presenter told me that they had been convinced that the "Diversity" presentation would likely result in cutting ties with the organization altogether. She gestured dramatically, coupled with a sound effect as though dropping a bomb.

Although it was certainly controversial, the talk did lead to the formation of a "diversity task force," which was enshrined as a more permanent committee in 2018. Published on the organization's website, the task force's "Diversity and Inclusion" statement proclaims a commitment to "reflect the richness of our whole society both in our members and in the images we create." Although the statement enumerates "color, race, age, sex, gender expression and identity, sexual orientation, appearance, religion, ethnicity, nationality, and disability," most discussion focuses on race and the recruitment of new illustrators from more varied ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. The approach hypothesizes that expanding the pool of qualified illustrators will, over time, result in a diversification of perspectives and of representations more generally. However, given the ample criticism that has been aimed over the years at medical images of women's bodies, despite the gender demographics of the field, that logic warrants further examination. In this post, I explore kinship discourse as a mode of professional self-fashioning that reinforces normative relationships and representations in medical illustration.
Picturing Expertise and the Limits of Kinship Discourse
My doctoral project examines the practices, pedagogy, and professionalization of biomedical image-makers, colloquially known as "medical illustrators." Drawing on archival materials, interviews, and participant observation in three North American graduate programs, my dissertation focuses on the role of disciplinary narratives and kinship metaphors in the training and professionalization of medical illustrators. In a very literal sense, biomedical images play a key role in how medical personnel and laypeople alike learn to see bodies. However, the erasure of the material labour involved in the creation of such images creates an understanding of medical images as unfiltered representations of the scientific truth of bodies, as if arising naturally from "the body" itself. When particular kinds of bodies become naturalized as normal, others are also marked as abnormal and in need of correction or elimination. Thus, the creation of biomedical images has material consequences in the lives of those who fall outside those norms. In order to understand the role of biomedical visualizations in science, medicine, and society it is necessary to understand the social, material, and historical conditions that both constrain and enable their creation.

A number of scholars including Sara Ahmed, Himani Bannerji, Chandra Mohanty, and Banu Subramaniam have critically examined discourses of "diversity" as well as the ways in which hierarchies and relations of power both create and are sustained through discourses of human variation and difference. Regardless of intentions, the concept of diversity as it is used within institutions can easily obscure the relations of power that such initiatives putatively seek to correct, the same relations that have installed a certain kind of human body as the standard from which all others deviate in the first place. Ahmed asserts that "the story of diversity thus becomes the story of diversity's inclusion into the terms of an institution" (Ahmed, 2012, p.9). In order for diversity initiatives to be put into place, they must be made commensurable with the existing institution and with the larger ideological space within which it operates, which can diminish their ability to change those structures in any fundamental way.
Claims to expertise on the part of medical illustrators hinge on the capacity to understand, interpret, and accurately convey complex biomedical information and concepts to a wide range of audiences. The professionalization of medical illustrators over the last century has depended on their ability to make claims to expertise both discursively, by aligning their work with the more stabilized expertise and epistemic values of "content experts" such as physicians, surgeons, and biomedical researchers, and bureaucratically, by establishing legible forms of professional organization. At the same time, the specificity of the medical illustrator's domain within the biomedical "system of professions" (Abbott, 1988) lies in the capacity to render that information visually, allying them with the rhetorically opposed realm of "art." This expertise is stabilized by emphasizing the scientific elements of their practice and by positioning medical illustrators as interpreters and communicators of knowledge produced elsewhere.
Both within the profession and in other fields, the work of biomedical visualization tends to be construed as subservient to that of content experts. The majority of STS literature related to visualization focuses on the making of images by scientists and their instruments or on the circulation of such images beyond their originating milieux (Burri & Dumit, 2008; Coopmans, Vertesi, Lynch, & Woolgar, 2014). In their highly influential study of scientific and anatomical atlases, historians of science Daston and Galison (2007) propose that evolving concepts of objectivity in science are intimately tied to representational practices. However, the names and labour of illustrators themselves remain quite literally a footnote, quickly subsumed under those of the anatomists, surgeons, and researchers with whom they work.
The majority of historical work on medical illustration in the twentieth century has been undertaken by medical illustrators themselves. Knowing the predominance of women in medical illustration when I began my research, I was surprised to find that professional story-telling tends to focus on the role of "great men." Internalist accounts of the profession's history tend to reinforce canonical values and idealized figures, particularly through the disciplinary origin story of Max Brödel, who is invariably framed as "The Father of Medical Illustration." Following Brödel's death in 1941, women practitioners were able to partially circumvent gendered norms through bureaucracy and institutionalizing efforts, but this inclusion was limited mainly to white and upper-middle class women and many of their achievements remain largely unrecognized. Through genealogical narratives of a "founding father" and his metaphorical children, family becomes an organizing metaphor for the professional community.
Beyond Family Resemblance

Ideas of family and community (and the discursive slippage between the two) are embedded forms of social boundary-making, the same processes that permit the exclusion of those who do not "fit in." As Janet Carsten points out, "hierarchies and exclusions … are part of what kinship enables" (Carsten 2013, p. 250). Discourses of kinship work to establish a cohesive professional identity that 'fits' within established biomedical practice through emphasis on normative resemblances and traceable lineage. Patrilineal professional genealogies and references to professional peers as "family" assert authority and relation through provenance, aligning the profession with markers of authority and credibility in science. Further, narratives of epistemic hybridity, "Like art and science, together" (Interview S18), and emphasis on the interpretive epistemic status of medical image-making elide the agential role of medical illustrators in the production of knowledge. Kinship discourses render inclusion as a form of resemblance and fashion acceptable forms and paths to belonging as those which can be articulated within the established normative boundaries of biomedicine.
The persistence of patriarchal genealogies and normative images, even in a female-dominated field, suggests that demographic diversity is no guarantee of representational diversity. The recent emergence of "diversity" as a topic of investigation and activity within the profession signals the potential for a more concerted and widespread effort on the part of practitioners to re-evaluate their own knowledge practices and representational idioms. However, the persistence of particular representational forms and practices is part of a complex web of social, material, historical, political, and economic arrangements within which the profession of medical illustration is precariously situated. While efforts to improve demographic diversity are laudable, it does not necessarily follow that such efforts will result in changes to medical illustrations themselves. Further, this logic places the burden of challenging conventions on the shoulders of the illustrators whose power and position within the field is least secure.
Medical illustration is an embodied, material-technical process that defines and enshrines relationships of space, time, and category as both scientifically and socially salient. Substantive change in the form of biomedical visualizations and communications requires practitioners to move beyond "diversity's inclusion into the terms of an institution" (Ahmed, 2012, p.9) to confront the exclusionary organization of professional discourse and practice and to acknowledge their own agency and epistemic power. Such epistemic change is a long process. In an informal chat with a Black female medical illustrator at the last AMI, I expressed frustration at the lack of progress, "It's 2019!" She looked me in the eye and said calmly, "It's only 2019."

The ending was just a distraction of how awfully written the book was. I loved the two first books but after I cried my heart out I realized that everything was wrong since the very beginning of this book. If you read it, you'll love it or hate it.

Q: Order functions by growth I'm trying to order some functions by their growth rate. All logarithms have 2 as their base. These are the functions:
2n+(n log n)
3logn
(n∑i=1i)2
4^n/n^4
n^(7/8)
2n
10logn
n (log n)!
√log5n
n^(log n)

I tried plotting them but I'm still very confused as to what the correct order is. Any idea as to how I have to order them? I also tried calculating their big-o limits but some won't return 0 or infinity.

A: *

*2*n+(n log n)==> o(n log n)

*3*log n ==> o(log n)

*1+2+3+...=[n(n+1)]/2 ==> o(n^2)

*(4^n)/(n^4) ==> o((4^n)/(n^4))

*n^(7/8) ==> o(n^(7/8))

*2*n  ==> o(n)

*10*log n==> o(log n)

*n*(log n)!==> o(n*(log n)!)

*sqrt(log 5*n) ==> o(sqrt(n))

*n^(log n) ==> o(n^(log n))

Hence:
2=7<9<5<6<3<8<10<4
