It is this culmination of the sublime into the avant-garde that has most interested contemporary writers who tend to avoid the more difficult work of in preference for the occasions where Lyotard wrote more directly of specific works of art. But, like most of Lyotard's work, this book on the sublime has a long gestation.

Summary of The Sublime in Art. Feelings of terror, awe, infinity, and minuteness swirl and course through an experience of the sublime in nature, and for centuries, artists from Donatello to Bill Viola have attempted to recreate that experience in their paintings, sculptures, and video projections.
Theorized as early as the 1 st century, the sublime has captivated writers, philosophers, and. The sublime is art which is emotionally conflicting, and hence difficult to use as propaganda. This is a crucial point, yet one consistently gotten backwards by the essayists in this book, who call Hitler's propaganda "sublime", including Lyotard (p.
39). Hitler's propaganda arts were pure classicism, but with the /volk/ instead of the /5(18). Interesting book in which experts from art and science, based on the "Sublime" kantian concept, discussed this topic in an interdisciplinary way.

Sections in the book explore pilgrimage Author: Roger Homan. The idea that sublime art could not be achieved by slavishly following rules, but rather was an experience that existed above and beyond rules in the realm of artistic imagination, was first explored by a predecessor of Burke's, the painter and critic Jonathan Richardson (–) in his book An Essay on the Theory of Painting ( Aesthetics and theory of art.

Excerpt from an 1883 newspaper article that discusses the lack of medical care for Chinese workers on the C.P.R.
Here in British Columbia along the line of the railway, the Chinese workmen are fast disappearing under the ground. No Medical attention is furnished nor apparently much interest felt for these poor creatures. We understand that Mr. Onderdonk declines interfering, while the Lee Chuck Co. (labour contractors), that brought the Chinamen from their native land, refused, through their agent Lee Soon, who is running the Chinese gang at Emory, to become responsible for doctors and medicine.

My ministers desire me to refer you to their Minute of 21st Nov [a letter or dispatch sent November 21st] … respecting destitution [poverty] among Chinese recently dismissed [laid off] from Dominion railway works [the C.P.R.], to request [that] I may be informed by telegraph how far [the] Dominion govt (government) will be prepared to assist in extending immediate relief [financial help] as considerable numbers of these wretched [miserable] creatures are now reduced to actual starvation.

Question: What were working and living conditions like for Chinese workers participating in the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway?
Prime Minister John A. Macdonald wanted a transcontinental railway built to link all the Canadian provinces together. He also needed to fulfill the promise he made to British Columbia (B.C.), when they joined Confederation in 1871, that a railway would be built to link them with the rest of Canada within 10 years.
Construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) began in 1874 and was organized into a series of separate sections that moved westward from Ontario and eastward from the BC coast.
Little progress was made in the first five years of construction due to financial struggles, political scandal and instability.
In 1879, American contractor Andrew Onderdonk was awarded the contract to build the B.C. sections of the railway that ran from Port Moody to Eagle Pass.
Aware of the anti-Chinese feeling in B.C., Onderdonk promised that he would give white workers preference and would only hire Chinese or First Nations peoples if there were no available white workers. It proved difficult to complete the railway on budget without cutting costs somewhere, so Onderdonk got permission to hire more Chinese workers, who he could pay less than white workers.
One month into construction, Onderdonk began hiring experienced Chinese railway workers from San Francisco and Portland. Between 1880 and 1881, over 1500 experienced Chinese railroad workers from the United States were hired.
In 1881, Onderdonk hired Chinese and non-Chinese labour contractors to recruit and transport workers directly from Chinese coastal provinces. There was an abundance of Chinese workers looking to emigrate because of social and economic upheavals. In total over 17 000 Chinese immigrants arrived between 1881 and 1884, of which over 10 000 came directly from China.
The majority of the Chinese workers who worked on the C.P.R. were employed on the B.C. sections. At the peak of railway building, Onderdonk employed 6000 Chinese workers and 3000 white workers.
As many as 1000 Chinese workers lived in each of the different construction camps established at key points along the railway, including Yale, Port Moody and Savona's Ferry. Little is known about life in the railway camps because almost no Chinese-written records or diaries have survived. Historians do believe that the camps may have included services such as restaurants, barbers and stores.
Each camp had an agent of the contracting company who organized contracted workers into gangs of thirty, complete with their own cook, bookman and non-Chinese foreman (or "herder") who worked for the construction company.

BOY SCOUTS HONOR TUSKEGEE AIRMAN WITH SPECIAL EDITION COUNCIL SHOULDER PATCH
August 4, 2020 by Tanesha Siggers
The National Capital Area Council (NCAC) is delighted to announce CSCI, a nationally recognized consulting, enterprise IT, and financial management firm, will sponsor a special edition council shoulder patch honoring retired Air Force Brigadier General Charles McGee. The patch will honor the Tuskegee Airman's legacy and life spent embodying the ideals of the Scout Oath and Law.
General McGee recently received the Lifetime Achievement Award from NCAC in February. At the presentation he stated, "If more people lived their lives by the Scout Oath and Law, the world would be a lot better off."
An active member of Boy Scouts in his youth, McGee has earned the Distinguished Eagle Scout award, and received the Silver Beaver award for his outstanding service and noteworthy accomplishments. He was also selected this year as a recipient of the Boy Scouts of America's highest award for volunteers, the Silver Buffalo Award, for service to young people on a national level. The veteran continued to display his leadership capabilities throughout his 30-year military career, earning numerous decorations from the Bronze Star to the Hellenic Republic WWII Commemorative Medal. Most recently, McGee received the honorary promotion to Brigadier General in December 2019, which was announced in January during President Trump's State of the Union address. The 100-year old Brigadier General McGee has had a year – from his appearance presiding over the coin toss at Superbowl LIV to being recognized at the State of the Union address to a book signing ceremony at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum celebrating Black History month, where he was featured as part of its African American Pioneers in Aviation and Space program.
"We are extremely proud to recognize retired Brigadier General Charles McGee for his tremendous accomplishments and contributions to Scouting said Scout Executive Craig Poland. "Brigadier General McGee not only meets the criteria for the special edition council shoulder patch – he more than surpasses it. The values embodied in Scouting are reflected in his daily life and work."
Nearly 60,000 Scouts in NCAC will have the opportunity to wear the one-of-a-kind patch that honors the living legend and his history in Scouting. Council Shoulder Patches are part of every Scout's uniform, reflecting the history and tradition of their home community. These patches frequently become collectables and are traded between Scouts at national events.

Dealing with food in a cruising sailboat is (in general) a huge task; and reviewing our food stocks is one of the first things to do after a passage. We often purchase cart-loads of food, which we have to sort and store in awkward compartments that can sometimes get wet or damaged by motion underway, or infested with moths.
So upon arriving in port, the task is to remove and review all the items from food benches, bilges, and pantries; and re-pack it all. This is equivalent to unloading everything from your attic, via the tiny trap door, in order to sort it. Not necessarily that easy!
Sabrina tackled this food review with enormous diligence. Our strategy to save money & have good provisions for quality meals on Green Coconut Run has been to "pack the boat to the gills" with food from Ecuador (and Pitcairn, once we realized what a good deal it was there!) This was in preparation for the exorbitant costs and limited supplies in French Polynesia.
Walking around the stores here in town, we are almighty pleased that we took this approach! A bottle of rum: in Ecuador $6, in Rikitea $80. Kingston cookies (my favorite!): in Pitcairn $3, in Rikitea $4.50. Olive Oil: in Panama $30, in Rikitea $60. The supply ship only comes to Rikitea every three weeks, and even then people say: come the next day at 7am, or else everything is bought up! So we are very glad we've packed as much as possible into Aldebaran for this coming season in French Polynesia, but the downside is that we have to review our stocks to check for damage or spoilage once a month or so.
You guys are amazing!! What can we bring to assist we we arrive? For sure, well bring dark chocolate bars…that's the only dessert I eat due to being on a low sugar diet.


If you buy and hold a stock for many years, you'd hope to be making a profit. Better yet, you'd like to see the share price move up more than the market average. But Walchandnagar Industries Limited (NSE:WALCHANNAG) has fallen short of that second goal, with a share price rise of 56% over five years, which is below the market return. Zooming in, the stock is actually down 51% in the last year.
While Walchandnagar Industries made a small profit, in the last year, we think that the market is probably more focussed on the top line growth at the moment. As a general rule, if the market is looking past earnings to focus on revenue, there is a hope for, or expectation of, strong growth. That's because it's hard for shareholders to have confidence a company will grow profits significantly if it isn't growing revenue.
In the last 5 years Walchandnagar Industries saw its revenue shrink by 15% per year. The stock is only up 9.3% for each year during the period. That's pretty decent given the top line decline, and lack of profits. We'd keep an eye on changes in the trend – there may be an opportunity if the company returns to growth.
Walchandnagar Industries shareholders are down 51% for the year, but the market itself is up 2.2%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 9.4% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. Before forming an opinion on Walchandnagar Industries you might want to consider these 3 valuation metrics.


,,...The Countess of Maria Bengtsson was really something special: her voice is luminous, clear, and expressive - that's before she starts really working the magic. "Dove sono" was breathtaking: her subtle treatment of the words in each repetition of the phrase and stunning pianissimos reminded me that, perhaps, the golden age of opera singing is not quite finished yet."

Q: Choosing right test to compare two populations I have two populations whose size is 36 and whose values I want to compare.
Example
pop1={-1.6,-1.55,-0.819,-4.86,-5.15,-21,...};
pop2={-3.5,-5.29,-2.11,-6.01,-2.91,-14,...};

I want to understand whether or not the two populations are statistically different and, if so, to know which one has larger values. Here's what I was thinking about doing:
1. I was thinking about simply using a MannWhitney test to compare the medians, but I'm not sure there is something else that I could use.
2. I was also thinking about doing a ranked comparison
Because the two populations' values are somewhat related, I was thinking about attributing an index to each comparison as follows
      value             index
val1=-1.6,-3.5            1
val2=-1.55,-5.29          1
val3=-0.819,-2.11         1
val4=-4.86,-6.01          1
val5=-5.15,-2.91          2
val6=-21,-14              2
...

The vector v_index would then be compared with another vector v_control only with 1s or 2. I would then determine whether the median of v_index-v_control is statistically different than 0.
What do you guys think?

Good quality. It is really quick to receive the sash, very nice and the embellishment is great. I love it very much. The most important is it match my dress perfectly. I could not wait to show it to my friends.


While we're at work during the day, Loki stays outside in his 10×10 dog run. He's got a nice insulated doghouse and besides the weather being really cold in the mornings when we leave him, we haven't had any problems. Sunday when we got home from work, the door to his run was off the hinges and inside the run, and Loki was curled up inside his doghouse, not wanting to come out. R eventually coaxed him out, and he limped his way into the house, not at all using his back leg.
His run when we first put it up… it has a roof on it now. And the door is knocked off.
Once we got him inside, he got up onto the couch in front of the woodstove and I started a fire. I was watching him closely, and noticed that he was showing symptoms of shock. Shaking, cold, sticky gums, unresponsive. We wrapped him up in a blanket and I texted my former boss from the animal sanctuary in Utah where we used to work. She helped walk me through what to do for him, but both her and I had this sinking feeling that Loki might not make it through the night. I've worked with animals for a long time, and I've seen animals in shock not make it more than a few hours. We were concerned. And you have to deal with the shock before dealing with any injuries, so we weren't even thinking about his leg at this point.
We spooned water into his mouth and made sure he was as warm as possible. I also managed to get a hold of a 24 hour emergency vet in town (who was busy with a sick horse), who gave me an ibuprofen dose for Loki and said to call him in the morning if he wasn't any better. After a couple of hours in front of the fire, Loki was looking brighter and more responsive.
He made it through the night and we brought him with us to work the next day so he could have a nice R&R day in the truck. The shock was gone and he was tired but more himself. He even barked at strangers. Since he was feeling better I was able to feel up and down his hurt leg, and felt a break. R felt it too. Loki's leg is definitely broken. Thank goodness he's not a growly, bitey nightmare when he's in pain.
So today is our Saturday from work and we're home all day. Besides doing normal off-grid-Winter-stuff, like moving firewood around, shoveling, and generally keeping the house warm and tidy, today has also been a good day for Loki to just rest and we can keep an eye on him. We also splinted his leg. He got a little grumbly when we started messing with it, but he was ok. He's been really tired and sleeping a lot. Poor guy. He's summoned to bedrest!
It's going to be a long few weeks. He'll be coming with us to work everyday for the foreseeable future, mostly so we can keep an eye on him and his movement will be restricted. I'm just happy he survived his night of shock. And no, we have no idea what happened to him. Maybe he just got tangled in his run door, maybe he got out and got hit by a car… who knows. There was no blood or punctures or anything like that. Whatever happened, if he was out, he managed to limp his way home.
Feeling better the next night.
Things can always be worse! Loki is home and alive and ok. With a broken leg, but he's managing. Dogs are good on 3 legs. He can even get himself in and out of the truck still. So keep up some good thoughts for our Loki Monster… Poor broken pup.
And with the animal losses we've experienced this year–Sweet Amelia, Archie, and Zeppy from last year–we just couldn't handle Loki not making it!
Feeling nostalgic… We miss our sweet duck, and still have hopes that Archie will make it back home.

Prince Charles Allegedly Skipped Town Right Before Prince Harry Arrived In The United Kingdom
Prince Charles allegedly skipped town for two reasons right before Prince Harry arrived in the United Kingdom.
by John Smith
In its July 5 issue, New Idea claimed that Prince Charles fled town because he didn't want to see his youngest son. And he didn't also want to be dragged into Princess Diana's upcoming memorial.
After all, recent reports claimed that the police questioned Prince Charles following Princess Diana's death in 1997.
And the police officers also showed the future king a handwritten letter that Princess Diana wrote to her then-butler, Paul Burrell.
In the letter, the Princess of Wales allegedly revealed that she fears for her life especially because she thinks Prince Charles is planning her murder.
"Charles was so stunned then and is just as stunned that these old allegations are coming up. He's been through the wringer – losing his dad and having his son making all sorts of damning claims against him," the source said.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles also made headlines recently amid claims that he might not give his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet Diana royal titles when he ascends the throne.
A source claimed that Queen Elizabeth's eldest son has already informed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle about his plan to not bestow royal titles to his grandchildren. And the Sussexes weren't allegedly pleased.
However, royal historian Robert Lacey said that he doesn't think Prince Charles would do something as cruel as this because he might get involved in another controversy later.
Royal experts, fans, and critics are divided on the matter. Some of them are saying that Prince Harry and Markle's children deserve royal titles because their grandfather is the future king of Britain.
However, others are also saying that they shouldn't be given royal titles because Prince Harry and Markle are no longer considered as senior working royals.
At the end of the day, the decision will ultimately depend on Prince Charles. But Prince Harry and Markle would also have a say on the matter depending on what age Archie and Lilibet will be when their grandfather becomes king.
"As the grandchildren of the Sovereign, they have the right to be upgraded to the style of His or Her Royal Highness.
But that begs a question of whether Harry and Meghan want that. Do they prefer what Prince Edward and Sophie have and not have their children as Their Royal Highnesses with a view to them leading relatively normal lives?" Joe Little also said.

Breaking The Silence: Media Framing of Darfur Crisis
This study analyze the media coverage of the conflict in Darfur, Sudan and how it was framed in both the Sudanese newspapers and the social media. Although the armed conflict started only a few years ago between rebels demanding social and political changes and the central government in Khartoum, but the consequences of such conflict are horrible, millions were forced to leave their villages, thousands were killed, and many allegations of terrible violations for the basic human rights including torture, rape, and kidnapping. The content analysis for a purposive sample of Sudanese newspapers and the NGOs and the human rights activists videos discovered a huge gap between how each of them framed this conflict type, its cause/s, the responsibility, and the suggested solution/s. The Sudanese newspapers tend to frame the issue as rebel movements using foreign aid to achieve the agenda of Sudan s enemies which include dividing Sudan to many small countries, and taking over its natural resources, especially oil. While the dominant frame used in social media tend to frame the issue as a genocide crime committed by Arab militia the Janjaweed against the Black-African tribes in Darfur
Asad Faulwell
Faulwell says, 'Specifically, I am currently engaged in a series of mixed media paintings focused on Algerian women who actively engaged in combat during the Algerian War of Independence. These women were all either killed in battle or captured by the French and subjected to imprisonment and torture. After Algerian Independence was gained these women were pardoned by Charles De Gaulle and returned to Algeria. Upon returning to day-to-day life many of them became social outcasts, considered an oddity and an affront to conservative Islamic teachings.
This Is How It Happened
The author of Girl Against the Universe and Liars, Inc. plunges readers into a world where the internet is always watching-and judging-in this compelling story about mistakes, repercussions, and online vigilante justice. Perfect for fans of Sarah Darer Littman's Backlash or Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything.After waking up from a coma, Genevieve Grace can't remember the car crash that killed her boyfriend Dallas, a YouTuber turned teen music idol. Genevieve knows she was driving, but because of what's been reported in the media, everyone assumes the other driver, Brad Freeman, is guilty. As she slowly pieces together the night of the accident, Genevieve is hit with a sickening sense of dread-what if she's the one at fault?While the internet and social media viciously condemn Brad, Genevieve escapes to her father's house near Zion National Park to hide from curious classmates and intrusive reporters. But she quickly realizes that she can't run away from the accident. And eventually, she will have to come to grips with what happened...and her role in it.
Killing the Vamp
Revision with unchanged content. The cinematic vamp presents a fascinating archetypal character, func tioning outside the bounds of normative societal and gender con struc tions. This filmic icon motivated the plot yet was often killed by the narrative end. Therefore, this book attempts to resolve the implications of the primary research question: Why did the vamp die? To answer this query, the text follows two theoretical paths. First, this book uses Michel Foucault s theories to ask: Is the vamp s death punishment for her location as a gendered other ? Secondly, the text uses psychoanalytic approaches, and specifically the Freudian death drive, to ask: Does the vamp s death represent and embody the bondage between sex and death? These theoretical possibilities are applied in the analysis of the 1927 Clarence Brown film Flesh and the Devil. In addition, this text expands the typology of the vamp, freeing her from her archetypal roots and proving her existence throughout cinematic history. This book is directed towards researchers in Communications, Media Studies, and Film and Gender Theory. This text is also addressed to those interested in aspects of psychoanalysis and social construction and representation.
When journalist Paddy Agnew and his girlfriend Dympna touched down in Rome in 1985 in search of adventure, sunshine and the soul of Italian football (well, Paddy was looking for that), they were travelling into the uncharted terrain of a country they did not know and a language they did not speak.It soon became clear that neither Italy nor Italian football would be boring. In that first week in Italy, Michel Platini and Juventus won the Intercontinental Cup, whilst just days later the PLO killed 13 people in a random shooting at Rome's Fiumicino airport. Paddy covered both stories. The coming years saw the rise of TV tycoon Silvio Berlusconi, as he became owner of AC Milan and then Prime Minister of Italy, naming his political party 'Forza Italia' after a football chant. In that same period, Argentine Diego Maradona became the uncrowned King of Naples, leading Napoli to a first ever Scudetto title in 1987, notwithstanding a hectic, Hollywood-esque lifestyle that mixed footballing genius with off-the-field excess.Forza Italia is a fascinating tale of inspired players, skilled coaches, rich tycoons, glitzy media coverage, Mafia corruption, allegations of drug taking and fan power - culminating in the 2006 World Cup victory that delighted a nation and a match-fixing scandal that shocked the world. It is also a personalised reflection on the consistent and continuing excellence of Italian football throughout a period of huge social, political and economic upheaval, offering a unique insight into a society where football has always been much more than just a game.

Medical Imaging Services cover investigations of patients that provide imaging information for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disease; or assessment of health. It includes conventional radiation based diagnostic radiology as well as a wide variety of specialised techniques including Ultrasound scans, Doppler studies, Bone densitometry, CT, MRI, PETCT, SPECT, Radionuclide imaging and therapy etc.
These services are essential for patient care and therefore must meet the needs of all patient and the clinical personnel responsible for the care of those patients. These services include arrangement for requisition, choice of appropriate (most informative and cost effective) imaging techniques, patient information, patient consent, patient preparation, patient identification, performance of imaging procedures, interpretation, reporting and advice regarding the result, in addition to the consideration of safety and ethics in diagnostic imaging services.
A medical imaging centre must maintain certain standard of services (statutory or otherwise); as well as, strive for continuous improvement in the quality of services they provide. Standards for NABH Accreditation for Medical Imaging Services are thus developed and formulated, they are divided into 6 chapters containing 23 standards and 95 objective elements. These standards provide general guidelines pertaining to all diagnostic imaging services. Specific guidelines for X-ray, Fluoroscopy, USG, CT scan, MR and Nuclear Imaging etc. are then provided separately in the guide book for completeness of the document # There are certain tests routinely performed in diagnostic centres e.g. ECG, EEG, EMG, Nerve conduction etc., but as they are not imaging methods and are performed & reported by technical medical specialist other than radiologists, they are not included in these standards.
Medical Imaging Service Provider willing to apply are strongly encouraged to read all the available documents on this website under 'Documents'.

Al-Jum'ua eller Al-Djumu'ah (arabiska: سورة الجمعة) ("Fredagsbönen") är den sextioandra suran i Koranen med 11 verser (ayah). Den skall ha uppenbarats för den islamiske profeten Muhammed under dennes period i Medina. I detta kapitel säger Gud till de troende att när det kallas till bönen på fredagen, så ska de skynda sig till att komma ihåg Gud och lämna handel.

Surans andra vers förklarar att Gud givit de hedniska folken (araberna) en apostel bland dem själva, för att lära dem om islam.

Det har återberättats från Jabir ibn Abdullah att när man deltog i bönen under en fredag, så kom det kameler med mat lastat. Folket gick mot kamelerna (och lämnade moskén), och bara tolv personer inklusive han själv stannade kvar (med Muhammed). Då uppenbarades versen som talar om folk som ser handel eller förströelse, och som lämnar Muhammed stående.

American Express VP Karen Penney on why diversity conversations must include men
HR & Management Interviews
The 5th of September 2015 marked 20 years since Hillary Clinton, the former US secretary of state, delivered her historic Beijing speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women.
"It is time for us to say, and the world to hear, that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights," Clinton said. "If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, it is that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights."
While Clinton was talking about women's rights violations all around the world – she focused heavily on the plight of those in the US. But what about in the UK?
Research from the Government Equalities Office found that while the gender pay gap for female full time employees had been closing since the 1970s, the pay gap of part time female employees had remained surprisingly constant. Even today, women in full time jobs earn 9.5 per cent less than men.
But let's not forget that the percentage of women taking the director's seat has gone up – 21 per cent of FTSE 100 company directors are women, up from 13 per cent in 2011. And for the first time, since June 2014, there are no all-male FTSE 100 boards.
There's no doubt that the female agenda has come a long way, but arguably the greatest hurdle currently holding women back is that of unconscious bias. It can be argued that women's and men's ideas about gender roles in the household and labour market can be stereotypical. Hence, there are gender differences in workplace attitudes and aspirations.
With much the same opinion as Clinton, Karen Penney, vice president and general manager of American Express's UK division, is of the belief that diversity means the inclusion of all.
"Diversity is more than just about women," she stressed. "It's about being open-minded to different opinions, views on life, ethics and cultural grounds." And she believes one of the best methods to close the gender gap is by instilling a corporate culture which extends its support to both genders.

Penney further highlighted that programmes and training for both men and women could go a long way in establishing an "all for one and one for all" type of culture. In order to redefine the cultural norm, bosses and employers alike needed to promote change through advocacy and example – without resisting.
Strategies that support women's empowerment can contribute to women's ability to formulate and advocate their own visions for the workplace – including interpretations and changes to cultural and gender norms, she explained. This point has previously been stressed by the CIDA's Policy on Gender Equality.
"Empowerment is about people – both women and men – taking control of their lives: setting their own agendas, gaining skills, building self-confidence, solving problems, and developing self-reliance," the CIDA said. "Outsiders cannot empower women: only women can empower themselves to make choices or speak out on their own behalf. However, businesses can support processes that increase women's self-confidence, develop their self-reliance, and help them set their own agendas."
Although it is often overlooked, the diversity debate extends to men as well as women. Just as there are cultural norms about women's roles, there are expectations of men as leaders, husbands and sons that shape their behaviour and opportunities – especially in the workplace.
"There's a lot of female role models for women these days, but I don't think women should just focus on women as their role models," Penney suggested. "It's equally as important to have a balanced view of what men are good at as well. This type of mind set is what makes people really successful. Research that we've done has shown that if you show a woman a job description they would focus on the parts that they can't do rather than those that they can.
"If you showed the same job description to a man, he would focus on the positives and be more likely to say that he could do the role. Women like to feel comfortable about their level of knowledge, their preparation, their experience, and perhaps they're just a bit more – or a bit too – realistic. Again I think that's a cultural concept that we need to help women overcome. Nobody really expects you to be an expert in every area, particularly when it's a promotion, where you expect people to develop into a role."
In this sense, Penney believes that the gains for businesses and the key to a more happy workforce, rests in women and men learning from each other and making use of their different thought processes.
"Having an awareness of such differences really enables you to work better together," she said. "This is where the growth mind set comes into play. Part of a growth mind set is being able to acknowledge that things can go wrong and being able to realise that you're heading down the wrong route – which enables you to pivot and go down a different route. Now that the business scape is moving so quickly you need to be able to make changes and be nimble. Diversity of ideas is crucial to growing your business and being stuck in a fixed mind set could cause a company to go out of business. We all need to change, and we all need to do so quickly."

How to make sure your business stays above HR law while staff continue to work remotely


Hi! This is my tenth year of teaching. Prior to that I was in retail management for about 25 years. I went back to school when my kids were in elementary school, and we've been doing homework together ever since! My undergraduate degree is in Human Development/Family Studies and Women's Studies from Colorado State University, and my graduate degree is in Early Childhood Special Education from UC-Denver. I also just finished a fellowship program with UC Denver and the Buell Foundation and am so ready to concentrate on teaching! Both of my children, Sam, my son and Kaija, my daughter, are in college. Now that I'm done with school again I look forward to dinners with friends and family, yoga, hiking, reading by the fire in the winter and pursuing the many art projects that have been on hold!

Should I accept or reject medical payments coverage for my Fayetteville Arkansas auto insurance policy?
Is medical payments coverage worth accepting or rejecting on my auto policy in Fayetteville Arkansas? Every person has their own opinion and we cannot tell you yes or no to this question. But we can explain to you exactly what Medical payments cover you for in Fayetteville Arkansas and then you can make the determination if its worth it or not.
First of all Medical payments most commonly presented in the amount of $5,000 although some companies do go up to $10,000 at a higher cost to the customer. The first question we always get is well I have health insurance do I really need to pay for Medical payments coverage on my auto insurance policy? That is a valid point, but my concern to that point would be what about your deductible and copays on your health insurance policy? What if you don't have the money at the time to pay that high deductible? Some health insurance policies require you to have a $5,000 ded, which can be a challenge to come up with out of nowhere. But if you accept Medical payments coverage for a small monthly amount on your auto policy if the car accident happens and you are hurt badly, you do not have a deductible on your medical payments coverage and will be able to receive the $5,000 for all those medical bills in a timely manner.

fou un matemàtic rus, preeminent en el , que va avançar diversos camps científics (entre ells la teoria de probabilitats, la topologia, la lògica intuïcionista, les turbulències, la mecànica clàssica i la complexitat computacional).

Biografia

Primers anys
Andrei Kolmogórov va néixer a Tambov, el 1903. La seva mare soltera va morir en el part i va ser criat per les seves ties a Tunoshna prop de Yaroslavl a la hisenda del seu avi, un noble ric. El seu pare es creu que es deia Nikolai Matveevich Kataev, un agrònom de professió, que va ser deportat des de Sant Petersburg per participar en el moviment revolucionari contra el Tzar. Va desaparèixer el 1919 i presumptament mort durant la Guerra Civil Russa.

Kolmogórov va ser educat en l'escola del poble de la seva tia, i els seus primers esforços literaris i treballs matemàtics van ser impreses al diari escolar. Com un adolescent que va dissenyar màquines de moviment perpetu, ocultant la seva (necessària) de defectes de forma tan intel·ligent que els seus professors d'ensenyament secundari no van poder descobrir-los. El 1910, la seva tia el va adoptar i després es va traslladar a Moscou, per estudiar a un institut, on es va graduar el 1920.

El 1920, Kolmogórov va començar a estudiar a la Universitat Estatal de Moscou i l'Institut Tecnològic de Química, guanyant reputació per la seva erudició d'ampli abast. Com a estudiant, va participar en els seminaris de l'historiador Bachrushin, i va publicar el seu primer document de recerca sobre les pràctiques de tinença de la terra a la República de Nóvgorod en els segles XV i XVI. Al mateix temps (1921-1922), Kolmogórov va demostrar diversos resultats en la teoria de conjunts i en la teoria de sèries trigonomètriques de Fourier.

Maduresa
El 1922 Kolmogórov va construir una sèrie de Fourier divergent, obtenint el reconeixement internacional, i va decidir dedicar la seva vida a la matemàtica. El 1925 Kolmogórov es va graduar de la Universitat Estatal de Moscou, començant a estudiar sota la supervisió de Nikolai Luzin. Es va fer amic de tota la vida amb Pavel Alexàndrov, que participen de Kolmogórov el 1936 en una persecució política lleig del seu mestre mutu, l'anomenat cas Luzin o assumpte Luzin. Kolmogórov (juntament amb Aleksandr Khintxin) es va interessar en la teoria de la probabilitat. Kolmogórov va obtenir el 1929 el seu títol de Doctor en Filosofia de la Universitat Estatal de Moscou.

El 1930, Kolmogórov va ser en el seu primer viatge llarg a l'estranger, a Göttingen i Munic, Alemanya, i després a París, França. El seu treball pioner sobre els mètodes d'anàlisi de la Teoria de la Probabilitat es va publicar (en alemany) el 1931. També el 1931, es va convertir en professor a la Universitat de Moscou. El 1933, Kolmogórov va publicar el llibre Els fonaments de la Teoria de la Probabilitat, establint les bases modernes de la teoria axiomàtica de la probabilitat establint la seva reputació com a expert en la vida més importants del món en aquest camp. El 1935, Kolmogórov es va convertir en el primer president de la teoria de probabilitats en la Universitat Estatal de Moscou. El 1939, va ser elegit membre de ple dret (acadèmic) de l'Acadèmia Russa de Ciències. En un document del 1938, Kolmogórov "establí els teoremes bàsics d'allisat i de la predicció de processos estocàstics estacionaris" - un document que tindria importants aplicacions militars durant la Guerra Freda.

En el seu estudi dels processos estocàstics (processos a l'atzar), especialment en processos de Markov, Kolmogórov i el matemàtic britànic Sydney Chapman desenvolupada de forma independent el conjunt d'equacions fonamentals en el camp, les equacions de Chapman-Kolmogórov.

Més tard, Kolmogórov va canviar d'interessos de recerca a la zona de turbulència, on les seves publicacions a partir de 1941 van tenir una influència significativa en el camp. A la mecànica clàssica, és més conegut pel teorema de Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (presentat per primera vegada el 1954 al Congrés Internacional de Matemàtics). El 1957 es va resoldre el problema de Hilbert (un treball conjunt amb el seu estudiant V.I. Arnold). Va ser fundador de la teoria de la complexitat algorísmica, sovint anomenada teoria de la complexitat de Kolmogórov, que va començar a desenvolupar al voltant d'aquest temps.

Kolmogórov es va casar amb Anna Dmitrievna Egorov el 1942. Es va aplicar una forta rutina d'ensenyament durant tota la seva vida, no només en el nivell universitari, sinó també amb nens més petits, ja que va participar activament en el desenvolupament d'una pedagogia per als nens superdotats, en la literatura i la música, així com en les matemàtiques. A la Universitat Estatal de Moscou, Kolmogórov ocupat diferents posicions, incloent els caps de diversos departaments: probabilitat, estadística, i els processos d'atzar, la lògica matemàtica, i també es va ocupar com a degà de la Facultat de la Universitat Estatal de Moscou de Mecànica i Matemàtiques.

El 1971, Kolmogórov es va unir a una expedició oceanogràfica a bord del vaixell d'investigació Dmitri Mendeleyev. Va escriure una sèrie d'articles per a la Gran Enciclopèdia Soviètica. En els seus últims anys va dedicar gran part del seu esforç a la relació matemàtica i filosòfica entre la teoria de probabilitats a les zones abstracta i aplicada.

Kolmogórov va morir a Moscou el 1987. Una cita: "Tot matemàtic creu que està per davant sobre totes les altres. La raó per la qual no ho dic en públic, és perquè són gent intel·ligent" és que se li atribueixen.

ZIRAN MUSE: THE POYDRAS FAMILY
By Kelly Shanahan / October 23, 2019
"Kelly! I miss you!" Frankie screams as she throws her arms around me. Honestly what feels better than getting a genuine hug from a 4 year old? Absolutely nothing.
The Poydras are my shit. I love this family. I've known the dad Myles since we were both 16 year old rebellious beach kids. I would tell my mom I was going to bed, wait 30 minutes, tell my poor younger sister to NOT SAY ANYTHING, slide open my window, and jump the fuck out. I'd run to the street and hop in whatever car was waiting for me. I'd party with Myles and his bad friends late into the night, and then sneak back home. I usually got away with it, except for one time… "Uhhhh Kelly your mom is outside yelling." Dammit Mom.
The Poydras had kids young: Riley was 18 and Myles was 22 years old when they got pregnant with their first daughter Ayva. Riley and Myles were my first friends who were parents. I got reconnected with them when Ayva was around 3. She's 9 now. I've seen them juggle parenting, careers, social lives, personal hardships, the birth of their second daughter Frankie, and everything else that comes with living. Year after year I'm inspired by how they balance it all, and especially how smart and loving their daughters are.
Ayva is intelligent, observant, and kind. She's the definition of a fully functional mini adult. Frankie is a firecracker: fearless, funny, and quirky. Call me biased but these kids are special. They are good humans and the world is a better place with them in it.
The Poydras family is an incarnation of The Ziran Way. They are a blend of cultures, identities, and lifestyles. Ethnically, they are mixed: Riley is White/Mexican and Myles is Black/Japanese. Culturally, Riley grew up with fun-loving Punk rock parents while Myles was raised in a strict military household. Socially, Riley is the radiant life of the party while Myles hangs back and observes. Yet these two compliment and balance each other. I balled my eyes out at their wedding. They've created a beautifully blended family.
Diversity and melding different cultures is the core of Ziran, and why the Poydras family are our Muses.
I'll ride with this crew 'till the end.
Myles you are half Black + half Japanese. You grew up skating, surfing, and living the beach lifestyle. How did it feel growing up brown in a town with virtually no people of color?
Growing up I identified myself as a punk-ass kid who ate barrels for breakfast and k-grinds for dinner lol... With that being said my younger brother and I were two of the three half Black, half Japanese kids in the South Bay and grew up very in tune with our roots.
My mom is from Kawasaki City, Japan and my dad is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and they taught me at young age the importance of not only being proud of where I come from but knowing what it took for me to be who I am. Growing up, this lesson came alongside all the "Be honest's," and the "Be respectful's," and the "Work hard's," and with just as much importance, if not more.
My mom made sure of this "cultural awareness" with annual visits to our grandparents and cousins in Japan or by doing things like only allowing Japanese to be spoken in the house, and attending Juku on the weekends, and even getting my ass kicked in kendo where I fought competitively for years for the City of Gardena.
Of course as a kid I hated it, but as I grew up that pride became more and more of my own and today the core values I'm instilling in my kids stems from my parents' pride and diligence in cultural awareness.
Riley you got pregnant with Ayva when you were 18 years old. What was that like? What major lessons have you learned being a young mom?
Honestly, it was the best thing that could've happened to me. I know that is cliche or an obvious answer but it forced me to be a more responsible and accountable person. I feel like I didn't have much personal direction in life. Having my first daughter so young gave me purpose and meaning.
What has parenting taught you guys?
The value of time and how much you can really love a human being.
How do you both juggle parenting and working full time?
We've had amazing family support over the years. Before the girls began free public school, emphasis on FREE, we mostly relied on family members and close friends to watch our kids which alleviated the huge expense of childcare. There were a couple years we had to pay for it, but that's just obviously one of the many expenses that comes with having lovely children :) Childcare costs blow!
Ziran means natural, spontaneous, and free. Pushing away outside influence and embracing your own. How does Ziran apply to your lives and parenting?
We are definitely spontaneous! Not extravagantly spontaneous but we like to get up and go do whatever we feel like as a family together. It's such a great feeling when we feed off of each others' happiness and everyone gets a bit goofy which feels free!
It's really hard to push away outside influences especially when kids have such easy access to YouTubers and TikTok and things like that. They get all these crazy notions from seeing what everyone on the internet has. But ultimately we are a positive family who cares about ourselves and our day to day life. It comes through in our kids' behavior and how they embrace themselves and others.

Cult Movies of 2012
With 2012 now come to a close and the awards season in full gear, audiences and critics alike are concentrating on current Oscar contenders and end-of-year releases. People tend to forget the smaller, more genre-driven, releases of the summer or spring. Even though, it is mostly these films that end up being the more memorable in the long run. For example, which film do you remember seeing more recently: 300 or The Queen? Anchorman or Finding Neverland?
These are all recent examples of cult films. Here, I try to list the films of 2012, which , in a few years, might achieve cult movie status.
Bond. James Bond. - The History of 007
James Bond movies have charmed and thrilled multiple generations of audiences in all corners of the world and have grossed more than $5 billion worldwide.
So now, with Eon's 23rd Bond film soon to be released, might be as good a time as any, to look back at James Bond films and the part they played in movie history.
They Live! A History of the Living Dead
Zombies. Why has the idea of an apocalyptic world, where the dead walk the earth and all of society as we know it has broken down, attracted so many people? The zombie sub-genre has fascinated audiences for decades and has firmly established itself as a potent and versatile subject for horror cinema.

For the Heart Short Stories
The Story of Jack von Der Ben
He wasn't dressed like a disheveled, broken man.
His clothes spoke out "I'm a respected man with a streak of misfortune, but I'll get back on my feet."
No Comments on The Story of Jack von Der Ben
The following is a brief story I wrote about a gentleman I met during my lunch break. He was a homeless veteran, a truth that, unfortunately, is still a lingering one. With poverty levels in L.A. marked as one of the worst in the nation, homeless veterans are a sad and often overlooked truth muddled by the hustle and bustle of our glitzy town. This man, however, held a strong sense of pride intact. It was a brief moment that I spent with him, but I still remember him well.
Jack, this is for you.
I met a man by the name of ..I can't remember his name now…. at lunch today. At first, I approached him and sat with him as he slumped in and out of sleep.
His green Army baseball cap and Marines pin made him stand out from the regular crowd of people that frequented the strip mall. I knew he was homeless from his mobile home parked in front of Panda Express, a shopping cart filled with a hunters' knife, a nearly empty pack of Newport's, a blanket, and half a bottle of Tropicana Berry Blast. But his manner of dress was formal, almost gallant.
He had brown dress shoes, khaki slacks that were fastened by a belt, and a buttoned shirt. His hair was unkempt, but effort was made to keep it from being too untamed.
His clothes spoke out, "I'm a respected man with a streak of misfortune, but I'll get back on my feet."
His slumping began to concern to me and I started to assume he was another addict looking for a fix.
Still, I wanted to sit there as a statement to the world, and to myself. I had assumed something of this man and I wanted to prove myself, and anyone who refused to sit next to him, wrong.
There is more to a person than their title and the money in their name, I thought to myself.
I watched him as I ate my Italian BMT, seeing his body slowly rock forward and readying myself to prop him back on his chair.
Eventually, he awoke from his intermittent slumber and politely asked me.
"How old are you, sir?"
I responded, "27."
He replied, "I was looking at your shoes and it reminded me a lot of how I used to dress when I was your age."
I remember his name now. His name is Jack. Jack Von der Bon.
Jack grew up in a simpler time: the late 40s. The Second war was a household subject and every citizen eventually and dutifully fulfilled their call to arms without protest. Dentists, surgeons, and fresh graduates alike would stand side by side on the beaches of Normandy. There were no open protests of the war of the likes of the 70s just yet. For in this war, there was a clear and definite objective: stop Hitler and his Axis of Evil.
Fw 190 German Fighter Pilot from WWII – From acepilots.com
Jack's parents were both famous German fighter pilots. His mother was a dogfighter who had brought down 8 B52's. His father, whose name was also Jack, was also a fighter pilot. Their skills had made them decorated soldiers in the German army. And it was this repertoire that allowed them to defect to the United States when the war began to run its last years.
Coincidentally, his son would follow in their footsteps in the jungles of Southeast Asia, during the Vietnam conflict. His role was to be a shadow. Surviving for months on end in the jungle, making his kills hidden behind the foliage of bushes and trees. He never knew who his victims were.
He called it the governments' failsafe.
It would never get back to them because his assignments were in the form of photographs and coordinates. He didn't mention how long he was a CIA-backed sniper, but I didn't see in his eyes that empty void I've seen from real hit men. That inhuman, almost beastly stare. I'd assume it was because of the distance you put yourself between yourself and your target, both physically and mentally.
"When they're in the distance, it's easier to see your victims than as people. Dehumanizing the Vietnamese, one of the many ways the Army fought in the war."
But that was behind him now, Jack reaffirmed as he ended his war stories. He was living in a strip mall in Los Angeles, making due with whatever he can find.
In a sense, he was in his own jungle now, living off the land, salvaging and surviving.
What struck me the most about him was that he never once asked for a handout.
I was left impressed…Not that I meant to talk to him to be impressed. I always wondered what someone might be feeling when having to ask for money, and having to take in the grimaces of disgust and sympathy from others…and that's if they even make eye contact.
Does charity rob you for your dignity as a person, like pinning a scarlet 'H' on your chest? That may just be my pride talking, but I don't think I could be so dependent on the charitable whims of others looking to spin their karmic circle in their favor.
But I'd rather see a proclivity to help than apathy.
Thank you for your service, Jack.

Mary Washington (; November 30, 1708 – August 26, 1789), was the second wife of Augustine Washington, a planter in Virginia, the mother-in-law of Martha Washington, the paternal grandmother of Bushrod Washington, and the mother of George Washington, the first president of the United States, and five other children. Washington lived a large part of her life in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where many monuments were erected in her honor and a university plus other public buildings bear her name.

Early life

Mary Ball was born November 30, 1708 at either Epping Forest, her family's plantation in Lancaster County, Virginia or at a plantation near the village of Simonson, Virginia. She was the only child of Col. Joseph Ball (1649–1711) and his second wife, Mary Johnson Ball. Joseph was born in England and emigrated to Virginia as a child. Fatherless at three and orphaned at twelve, Mary Ball was placed under the guardianship of George Eskridge, a lawyer, in accordance with the terms of her mother's will, for whom her son George Washington, was named, consistent with the naming conventions at the time. (See the appendix of the book Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fischer for an insightful discussion of four naming conventions in use at the time in Great Britain.) Her paternal grandfather was William Ball (1615 – c. 1680); he left England for Virginia in the 1650s. His wife Hannah Atherold arrived later along with their four children, including Mary's father Joseph.

Married life

Augustine Washington had sailed to Britain on business (and to visit his sons who had been sent to school there) but on his return, he discovered that his first wife, Jane Butler Washington, had died in the interim. George Eskridge supposedly arranged an introduction between his friend, Washington, and his ward Mary Ball, with the two marrying on March 6, 1731 when she was 22. She was wealthy by the standards of the day and brought at least 1000 acres of inherited property to the marriage. The couple had the following children:

 George Washington (1732–1799), the first president of the United States, who married Martha Dandridge
 Elizabeth "Betty" Washington (1733–1797), who married Fielding Lewis
 Samuel Washington (1734–1781), who married five times
 John Augustine Washington (1736–1787), who married Hannah Bushrod
 Charles Washington (1738–1799), who married Mildred Thornton
 Mildred Washington (1739–1740), who died young.

Augustine died in 1743 when son George was 11 years old. On his deathbed, "Gus" gave his son George three books on prayer. In some of those books, now in the Lyceum in Boston, Mary Ball Washington, also wrote her name. Unlike most widows in Virginia at the time, Mary Ball Washington never remarried. When George was 14, his older half-brother Lawrence Washington, who commanded a unit of Virginia Militia that served on board with British Admiral Edward Vernon, for whom Mount Vernon was named, arranged for young George to become a British Navy Midshipman. However, Mary's highly respected half-brother, Joseph Ball, under whom the Virginia House of Burgesses had voted money to pay the cost for Virginia's young men to go study for the ministry, wrote a reply to her letter requesting advice, wherein he said do not allow your son George to join the British Navy, for they will "...treat him worse than a slave or a dog."

Mary managed the family estate and 276 acres of Ferry Farm (a plantation) with the help of others until her eldest son came of age and well beyond. She lived to see that her son, George Washington, commanded the Continental Army to independence and was inaugurated as the first president of the United States in 1789. After learning that he had been elected president in April 1789, George Washington traveled from Mount Vernon to visit his mother in Fredericksburg. He was accompanied by Martha Washington's grandson George Washington Parke Custis. George Washington knew his Mother was ill. She was suffering from breast cancer, the disease to which she eventually succumbed, but, he sought her blessing as he embarked on another service to his Country: the new concept of "The Presidency of the United States."

Here, as popularly told, the stories and lore—probably begun and perpetuated by Custis—take over. It is said that Mrs. Washington informed her son of her poor health and expected to die soon. Further, the story continues, that her son George said that he would need to decline to serve as president. George's mother Mary responded, saying, "But go, George, fulfill the high destinies which Heaven appears to have intended for you for; go, my son, and may that Heaven's and a mother's blessing be with you always." This purely legendary account is frequently cited as true, but cannot be verified.

What can be documented is that he received her approval and, of course, left Fredericksburg and made his way to New York City, where he was inaugurated at the end of April.

Death
After a lengthy illness, on August 25, 1789, Mary Ball Washington died of breast cancer at her home in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Beliefs
While there is a legend that Mrs. Washington was said to be openly opposed to her son's revolutionary politics and, according to French officers based in Virginia during the war, she was a Loyalist sympathizer, there is no credible source to support that legend. The facts are that other than her son George who was Commander in Chief of the Continental forces (Army and Navy), Mary's other three sons Samuel, John Augustine, and Charles, all served in the Virginia Militia. Her son-in-law Fielding Lewis (husband to her daughter Betty), was in charge of the Fredericksburg Gunnery or Gun Manufactory. The gunnery works made muskets for use by American Revolutionary forces, and ended up almost bankrupting Lewis in the process.

Mary Washington was by no means poor despite the fact that she petitioned the Government of Virginia claiming, in response to a Virginia government notice to citizens to do so, asking to be reimbursed for farm animals, horses and cattle that she gave to support the American war effort. Her son, George, purchased her a fine house in Fredericksburg, four blocks from some "Prayer Rocks" Mary frequented to pray for her children and only two blocks from Kenmore, where George's sister Betty (Mrs. Fielding Lewis) lived. Mary lived in her home nearby from 1772 until her death in 1789, but George also arranged for water from the "medicine springs" on the Ferry Farm property, her home for many years, to be brought to his mother in town each day. In her will, Mary Washington left George the majority of her lands and appointed him as her executor.

Mary Washington frequently visited her daughter Elizabeth "Betty" and her husband Fielding Lewis at their Kenmore Plantation two blocks from her home in Fredericksburg. She had a favorite "prayer rock" that was close to the Lewis mansion. Tradition has it that this was her favorite retreat for reading and prayer. She asked Betty to bury her there after her death, and her daughter arranged that.

Descendants
Her third son, John Augustine Washington, was the father of Bushrod Washington, who was nominated by President John Adams to the U.S. Supreme Court, and confirmed by the Senate in 1798, while his Uncle George was living in retirement at Mount Vernon. Charles Town, West Virginia, is named for her fourth son, Charles Washington. The national capital and many other cities, towns and villages are named "Washington" for her first son, George Washington.

Legacy and honors
Several monuments have been erected to Mary Ball Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where she lived from 1772 until her death in 1789.
The Mary Washington House in Fredericksburg has been preserved by Preservation Virginia (formerly known as the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) who, in mid-2012, signed an agreement passing ownership to the "Washington Heritage Museums." The residence is open to the public and operated as a historic house museum. It contains a fine collection of antique furnishings, some with Washington family provenance.
Mary Ball Washington is buried on the grounds of Kenmore, the former home of her daughter and son-in-law Fielding and Betty Lewis. Kenmore is operated as a house museum and is open regularly for public tours.
A monument to Mary Ball Washington was erected in 1833 and dedicated by President Andrew Jackson. It was left unfinished until the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, a women's organization formed in the late nineteenth century raised money for the monument. The Mary Washington Memorial Association used social events and balls to raise money for the cause. The new memorial was dedicated by President Grover Cleveland in 1894 at her grave site.
The University of Mary Washington, a public university in Fredericksburg, Virginia, was named for her.
The Mary Washington Hospital, located in Fredericksburg, is named for her.
In November 2019, the Fredericksburg Nationals minor league baseball team introduced a Mary Washington logo at an event at the Mary Washington House on her 311th birthday, describing the logo as "the first female logo in baseball history to be a part of a team's permanent and original branding."

Last week the Legal Affairs committee (JURI) of the European Parliament held a much anticipated vote on the European Parliament's own initiative report on the implementation of the 2001 EU copyright directive. This was an important vote as it dealt with the more than 500 amendments proposed by various MEPs (each amendment is a proposal to change a part of a report). From here, a final report will be issued following the concluding vote of the European Parliament Plenum to be held on the 9th July.
Zitting van het Engelse Hogerhuis, 1689. Image: Rijksmuseum, Public Domain.
Back in March, we highlighted some of the amendments that had the potential to improve the draft report so that it would better reflect the issues that cultural heritage institutions have with the current EU copyright framework. At the time our main concern was that the report neither explicitly addressed the question of mass digitisation nor the question of rights clearance for making digitised collections available online.
allow libraries to electronically lend all works contained in their collections (commercially available or not) as long as they pay compensation to the rights holders.
Over the last few months we have worked with MEPs to table amendments to the original report that would include these demands in the final report and get them to understand the importance of these issues (and as a result to vote for them). As a result of this work, which was supported by individual Network members and coordinated with other groups like EBLIDA, LIBER and IFLA, the final report as adopted by the Legal Affairs Committee on Tuesday 16th June now contains sections that deal with the three issues we had raised.
All in all we feel that we have done a very good job at ensuring that the concerns of cultural heritage institutions are well reflected in the report. Whilst there were amendments with stronger wording and more precise language with regards to the issue of providing online access to collections, the current form of the report is an important milestone on the way towards new EU copyright rules that allow cultural heritage institutions to properly function in the digital environment.
The report will now be voted in the plenary meeting of the European Parliament on 9th July and, given that it was adopted with a 23 - 2 majority, it is almost certain that it will be approved there as well. As an 'own initiative' report it will not result in any direct legislative changes - but it does provide some guidelines to the European Commission which is currently working on a proposal for new EU copyright rules. By adopting the the Reda report with such a clear majority the EP has given the commission a clear indication of what it expects to see and that includes copyright rules that allow cultural heritage institutions make more of their collections available online.
In order to get the upcoming proposal signed into law the Commission needs the support of both the European Parliament and the member states. Ensuring that this happens requires our continued attention. Our focus is to keep an open dialogue with the Commision to ensure that these issues are understood and taken into account in upcoming legislative proposals.
It will also be important to raise these issues with member state governments as no change in European law is possible without their approval. This task of informing member states is something that requires the support of as many members of the Europeana Network as possible.

Q: Helvetica font and ohm symbol I am writing an industrial laboratory report, where I need to use Helvetica.
My preamble contains:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{phv}\selectfont
\usepackage[margin=10pt, font=bf, ]{caption}

I need the ohm symbol in the text of the document and in numerous captions, that are in bold characters. I have tried a lot of options, such as \usepackage{textcomp}, \usepackage[squaren, Gray, cdot]{SIunits}, \usepackage{gensymb}, and many ways to write the ohm or Omega symbol. However none looked really  nice. I am currently using $\Omega$ in the main text, and $\boldsymbol\Omega$ in the captions. Is there any way to get an Omega matching visually Helvetica text?

A: Finding the correct symbol is tricky. Rather than loading phv directly, or using the helvet package, I'd be tempted to use the newer tgheros package. This uses TeX Gyre Heros (another Helvetica clone, but with better glyph coverage). Loading this along with textcomp will set up \textohm properly. You could then use that directly, but I'd (unsurprisingly) favour using my own siunitx package to deal properly with units and so forth:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{tgheros,textcomp}
\usepackage[margin=10pt,font=bf]{caption}
\sisetup{detect-weight}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}

We were commissioned by UK agency, Lucky Elephant to design and build an online digital Christmas look book for one of their clients, beauty giant Coty.
Although, the website was designed with a fun and light hearted feel, we developed a tailor-made automated workflow solution into the backend.
The workflow entailed a fully reported and animated email invite campaign sent to the brands subscribers. Upon acceptance, users were given unique log-in credentials for monitored and secure access to the website. In turn, users could browse the websites product collection, request to download images and order samples, resulting in the brand being notified of each of the websites requests.
With integration of a Christmas countdown timer, the site was packed with user interaction fun facts, thus making the user experience fun and entertaining along the way!


Carl W. Jones invited to present at 12th World Congress on Semiotics.
International Association for Semiotic Studies (IASS) is holding it's annual meeting at the New Bulgarian University in Sofia, Bulgaria, during 16 - 20th of September 2014. The title of the global conference is: New Semiotics, Between Tradition and Innovation.
The title of my paper is "Advertising tools & techniques appropriated to construct the Global brand Mr. Clean" and it was invited to be part of a roundtable on the new field of Marketing Semiotics. It was presented Sept 20th.
Carl Jones' chapter 'Ads send out more just than the clients message' featured in the Creative Social book titled 'Hacker, Maker, Teacher, Thief: Advertising's Next Generation' released this September in London.
Creative Social, the global collective of creative directors, is set to release its latest book 'Hacker, Maker, Teacher, Thief: Advertising's Next Generation' through online retailer Lulu on 2nd September with an Amazon release to follow in October. The release delivers insights on challenges faced by the world of advertising and marketing, from 35 leading industry names.
'Hacker, Maker, Teacher, Thief' celebrates everything that Creative Social has championed during its ten years of existence; a growing platform that allows members of the communications industry to debate and share their experiences, knowledge and advice. The release offers analysis of the communications industry on the topics of education, creativity, culture, innovation, advertising and the future of the industry.
In the book, members and friends of Creative Social explore issues such as how copying can make work original, what the communications industry should do to remain valuable, if digital collaboration is the death of idea ownership, should we be making things people want rather than making people want things and more.
The release coincides with Creative Social's 10th anniversary and follows its 2010 book 'Digital Advertising: Past, Present and Future', which looked at the effects of digital advertising and predicted how the industry would evolve. 'Hacker, Maker, Teacher, Thief' builds on that thinking with contributions from creative experts Daniele Fiandaca, co-founder, Creative Social, Laura Jordan Bambach, president, D&AD and Patrick Collister, head of design, Google among others.
A launch event is taking place at DigitasLBi in London on 2 September, where some of the authors will talk about their views on advertising today. The evening will comprise of five short talks around topics from the book as well as a Room 101 session. Speakers include, Mark Earls, founder, HERD, Dave Bedwood, creative director, M&C Saatchi and Flo Heiss, Studio Heiss. Tickets are available here for anyone to attend.


14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, "If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you.
16 So he drove them off.
17 Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.
18 Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae because of a vow he had taken.
21 But as he left, he promised, "I will come back if it is God's will." Then he set sail from Ephesus.
