had decreed from the beginning of the world who would be elect and who would be damned. This kind of belief bred amongst them a very anxious spirituality. At the individual level they were deeply anxious about their own spiritual state. Were they or were they not amongst the elect? They tended to indulge in intense spiritual self-searching, rigorous attempts to sanctify their personal lives in a way that would give them a sense of assurance of their own election. It was also a kind of theological position which bred what's been described as a "piebald mentality." They saw things in very black and white terms, a piebald mentality. The godly saw themselves as a beleaguered minority in a world that was dominated by the reprobate, the unregenerate. They tended to describe themselves as the "little flock," the "godly remnant," and that in turn seems to have bred amongst them a kind of activist mentality. There was a dutyto demonstrate their own godliness by standing up for the honor of God, by doing His work in the world, by spreading truth, by combating sin and error. A form of activism which in a sense could give them greater assurance. For the most part, they did that work in relative obscurity, down in the many parishes of the kingdom. Puritans were amongst the most zealous preachers. They were often chosen as 'lecturers', people who would be hired by local authorities to preach extra sermons on market days, for example, or on the weekdays. In some areas they were numerous enough by the 1570s to found regular meetings of sympathizers which were known as "prophesyings." These were meetings of the local clergy who would get together to hear a sermon, to debate its doctrine. They often opened these meetings to members of the laity. It was thought to be an excellent method of improving clerical knowledge, of passing on theological knowledge to

was cleansed by everybody who was suspicious. Western Berlin was already ringed by a border fortification. The only open spot was the city itself. So people were going with public transportation into East Berlin, crossing the border by foot, and then being flown out of West Berlin to get to welcome camps in the Western part, until they got apartments and jobs offered. In the end, in one month 30,000 people alone left East Germany via East Berlin. So they decided to build a wall. And this-- you see the English in bold down there, is one of the famous quotes. It's as famous as "there are no Americans in Baghdad," or "I did not have sex with that woman." This is a quote everybody in Germany knows, which is two weeks-- no, actually two months before the Wall was built-- the head of state and party in East Germany, being asked whether they have any plans, and he, as innocent as a lamb said, ofcourse, we don't have a plan to build a wall. We have so much other things to do. Yeah. True. So German proficiency at its best, and at it's worst, obviously. In an operation on a Sunday morning, over 50,000 armed forces were roused. And Russian tanks were surrounding Western Berlin. And at midnight, all the forces were deployed. At 1 a.m. Sunday morning, when Berlin was sleeping, the entire subway and transit between the two cities were cut. The light was cut. And then the Wall was built. And five minutes, the Brandenburg Gate was closed. The first Wall that stood in Berlin was a wall of armored soldiers, that didn't let anybody going through. As the next step, 12 subway lines were permanently severed. 13 stations were bricked off. And in total, 193 streets were closed, including bridges, rivers. They closed sewers. They closed windows in buildings. We will see that in a moment. And when Berlin was waking up, it was two cities. We see two pictures here. The upper is where the

a permanent place in aviation history for its remarkable record of achievement. Whether the material to be delivered happened to be bombs, depth charges, gasoline, freight, troops, of VIPs, the liberator established a reputation second to none for doing almost any job any way. In some respects, the combat career of the Douglas A20 was much less spectacular than that of other bombers employed by the combatants. It was associated with no outstanding operations that remained in front line service throughout the war. It did not distinguish itself on any particular battlefront but flew with equal distinction over all of them. It did as well in Russia as it did in the Pacific or the western desert and with all was one of the most pleasant of all combat aircraft to fly. (dramatic drum music) Designated by the Americans as the Havoc and by the British as the Boston, the A20 was a pilot's airplane and its virtues were sworn in a variety of languages rangingfrom Africans to French and from British to Ukrainian as well as being operated by the Americans and Australians. His cosmopolitan nature was fundamental in its design however for it owed its origins much to the Spanish Civil War and subsequently to the urgent need for re armament by the French. The dangerous signals of 1936 had not been ignored in the United States and prominent aircraft manufacturers were considering the future possible requirements for the United States Army Core, well in advance of any military specifications being issued. Well suited to the low level bomber role, the Bostons, or Havocs were adaptable, reliable, tractable, and extremely potent. Possibly overshadowed throughout much of its career by the more spectacular exploits which fell to the lot of other bombers. The A20 did rank highly amongst the most brilliant combat aircraft designs evolved by the United States aircraft industry. No combat aircraft of the second World War either from the access or allied powers was the subject of

Prof: So today we turn to a mode of doing literary criticism which was extraordinarily widespread beginning in the late seventies and into the eighties, called the New Historicism. It was definable in ways that I'll turn to in a minute and, as I say, prevalent to a remarkable degree everywhere. It began probably at the University of California at Berkeley under the auspices, in part, of Stephen Greenblatt, whose brief essay you've read for today. Greenblatt and others founded a journal, still one of the most important and influential journals in the field of literary study, called Representations--always has been and still is an organ for New Historicist thought. It's a movement which began primarily preoccupied with the Early Modern period, the so-called "Renaissance." The New Historicism is, in effect, responsible for the replacement of the term "Renaissance" with the term "Early Modern." Its influence, however, quickly did extend to other fields, some fields perhaps more than others. It would be, I think, probably worth a lecturethat I'm not going to give to explain why certain fields somehow or another seem to lend themselves more readily to New Historicist approaches than others. I think it's fair to say that in addition to the early modern period, the three fields that have been most influenced by the New Historicism are the eighteenth century, British Romanticism, and Americanist studies from the late colonial through the republican period. That age--the emergence of print culture, the emergence of the public sphere as a medium of influence, and the distribution of knowledge in the United States-- has been very fruitfully studied from New Historicist points of view. So those are the fields that are most directly influenced by this approach. When we discuss Jerome McGann's essay, you'll see how it influences Romantic studies. Now the New Historicism was--and this probably accounts for its remarkable popularity and influence in the period roughly from the late seventies through the early nineties-- was a response to

their control is their response to that circumstance, is their attitude. And Dr. Frankel has come up with a mathematical equation that explains the power of perspective. Because in the concentration camps he saw a lot of suffering, suffering that was so bad that some people sought to commit suicide because they despaired. And Dr. Frankel said, early on in his time at the concentration camps he decided he would never kill himself. Moreover, would he not commit suicide, but he was going to try to dissuade his fellow prisoners from doing that. And he discovered the way to try to convince them not to despair was to help them find meaning. And so his mathematical equation was this. D equals S, minus M. Despair is suffering without meaning. He recognized, in the present circumstances removing the suffering was near impossible, but he could decrease despair to the extent that he increased meaning. And Dr. Frankel, years after coming out of the concentration camps, cites an example where this equation,in a sense, was brought to life with a young teenager he learned about in Texas who had become a quadriplegic. A lot of times when people are asked, imagine if you were suddenly paralyzed, would you want to keep living? And when we're not in that state we think, no, I wouldn't. Well, Dr. Frankel cites an example of someone who found herself not being asked that question in a hypothetical, but that was reality. She became quadriplegic. She would spend her days watching the news, reading the news, and whenever she came across a story of someone who was going through a very difficult time, of someone who was suffering in some way, she would ask an assistant to bring a stick and place it in her mouth. She would then use that stick, bend over to press keys on a keyboard so she could write letters of encouragement to the people she'd read about in the news. And Dr. Frankel said her life is

sincere fear. In that same statement to Congress, he goes on to do brilliant thing number two--again another example of his good judgment. He announces that he will serve without pay as proof that he does not want to make any kind of profit from his service, that he wants no financial benefit for what he's doing for his country. Again, really brilliant thing to do. Now of course he also says he's going to keep an exact account of his expenses. Right? He doesn't want to get a salary, but he will charge Congress for his expenses-- and there is an amusing book titled George Washington's Expense Account by Marvin Kitman that looks at what Washington was actually charging the Congress for. So it's not as though he was spending a lot out of pocket. He did keep a careful account of all of his expenses as Commander-in-Chief, but again that's a pretty significant statementto make. People noticed it at the time and commented on it and saw it, the symbolism in it and the meaning of it, and commented just in the way that he would have hoped people would have done. He really wanted to make a certain impact, and he did. So for example, here is John Adams at the time--not afterwards with his ten talents, but at the time. He says, "There is something charming to me in the conduct of Washington. A gentleman of one of the first fortunes upon the continent, leaving his delicious retirement, his family and friends, sacrificing his ease, and hazarding all in the cause of his country! His views are noble and disinterested. He declared, when he accepted the mighty trust, that he would lay before us an exact account of his expenses, and not accept a shilling for pay." Or, as another Congressman put it, "Let our Youth look up to this man as a

I was there when the uprising took place so I had connections both in and outside of Syria. Some reports basically confirmed Kerry's allegations using eyewitness accounts, relying on the circulation of information and images on social media sites, and producing a plethora of articles translated from Arabic to English and vise versa. But as early as a week later, a counter-narrative began to emerge, one that placed ultimate accountability with the opposition. Although these early dissenting reports appeared to lack the authority or credibility, they nevertheless became increasingly susceptible to uptake. Less a way of anchoring an alternative certainty than questioning the empirical propositions on which existing frames of reference relied. In chat rooms and online publications rumors began circulating about the Saudi intelligence chief having supplied the weapons to a Saudi militant, allegations that instantly generated their own confusions, including whether a named author in one prominent report had been involved in writing the piece at all. The story of the attack took a technical turn with a publication by the New YorkTimes of an article that drew upon a study by Richard M. Lloyd, an expert in warhead design, and Theodore A. Postol, a professor of physics at MIT. The study promised a scientific resolution of the accountability question by addressing a previously un-noted problem at the heart of the investigation. How could what were initially thought to be rockets with minimal carrying capacity deliver enough gas to kill so many people over such a large area? Lloyd and Postol subsequently published a second report casting doubt on UN and US calculations of rocket trajectories, further generating skepticism about the Syrian regime's responsibility for the attack. Memorable among the participants in what became a high-stakes bout of discursive jostling with Western intervention and presumably regime survival hanging in the balance with Syrian presidential spokesperson Buthaina Shaaban. In a statement given as early as September, Shaaban held the opposition responsible for the attack. And I quote, "they kidnapped children and men from the villages of [?

forget it when we talk about Washington-- like any other gentleman of the period Washington was human. Right? He could be self-interested. He could be gloomy. He could get excited. He was all of these things at various points during the war and after. He sometimes doubted himself. He got bored. He got tired of all the pomp and ceremony that basically surrounded him for the last twenty-five years of his life. There's a story of him as President; he really didn't like all the pomp surrounding him as President, and there are several stories actually, more than one. He was seen giving a ceremonial dinner as President, sitting at the head of the table at this formal dinner, staring into space and sort of banging a piece of silverware on the table, [whistles]--so not wanting to be there and so uninterested in what was going on. Again, he's all of these things, including humanas other gentlemen all were. But there is something about Washington that was different and in a sense, there had to be something different to put him in the exalted position of being quite literally, as one of his friends said at his death, "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." So how can we explain the phenomenon of George Washington? And what I'm going to talk about here in the answer basically is an answer with three parts. The first part, as we're about to see, has to do with Washington personally. He's a man who was extremely skilled at shaping his public image, at controlling himself and presenting to the world what he wanted them to see. Related to that, so part of that same thing, he was very skilled at sizing up a situation and figuring out just what sort of statement or action it required. He was often a really

“My Friends, We Were Robbed!” Introduction: “My Friends, We Were Robbed!” is the title of a book by Rabbi Uri Zohar which describes his journey of return to our spiritual heritage. In this letter, we will discuss the meaning of the title of his book, and our discussion will begin with some information about his life before he became a rabbi: Dear Friends, Rabbi Uri Zohar is an Ashkenazic Jew who was born in Tel Aviv in 1934, and he was educated in secular Zionist schools. The State of Israel was established in 1948. In 1952, he graduated high school, and within a few years, he became a popular stand-up comedian. In 1960, he studied philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and this interest in philosophy would later lead to spiritual changes in his life. During the 60’s, he directed and starred in Israeli films; moreover, he became a popular television and radio talk-show host. During the 70’s, he reached the height of his entertainment career, as he was considered by many tobe the top comedian, television and radio talk-show host, social satirist, actor, and film-producer on the Israeli scene. His performances were valued not merely for the entertainment they provided, but also because they provided astute and sharp-tongued observations about Israeli society. It was during the late 1970’s that he began to search for his spiritual roots. This process began after his encounter with a wise Torah teacher in Jerusalem who challenged some of Uri’s secular prejudices towards Judaism. Uri therefore began an attempt to investigate the veracity of Judaism’s claim that the Torah is of Divine origin. His serious and long investigation led him to accept the Torah as Divine truth, and on a step-by-step basis, he began to keep the mitzvos of the Torah. The commitment of this famous Israeli personality to the spiritual path of his people shocked many secular-oriented Israeli Jews. The first shock was when they noticed that he began to wear a yarmulke on the television show he was hosting. They were even more shocked when he gave up fame and fortune in order

the individual things so much as the sheer abundance of things, which reflected the spread of mass manufacturing and growing postwar American consumer culture. Warhol started out using rubber stamps and stencils to make these paintings. But soon landed on silk screening as a way to speed things up. He created his well-known factory and set to work with assistants, rolling out product after product, displaying them in warehouse-like arrangements. He was also interested in products of the human variety and started making paintings of celebrities, reproducing images from publicity stills, newspapers, and magazines, making shrew commentary on the celebrity as commodity. There are number of subjects that recur Warhol's work, shoes, products, money, celebrities, rich people, disaster, death, himself; shoes, products, money, celebrities, rich people, disaster, death, himself. But these weren't just Warhol's obsessions. They are deeply reflective of the culture of the time. If you ascribed to the theory that the 20th century was the American century, then Warhol's work takes on even more importance. Spanish: diciendo que lo que hace grande aproductos, dinero, celebridades, gente adinerada, desastres, muerte, él mismo; zapatos, productos, dinero, celebridades, gente adinerada, desastres, muerte, él mismo. Pero éstas no eran sólo las obsesiones de Warhol. Eran una profunda reflexión sobre la cultura de la época. Si aceptamos la teoría de que el siglo XX fue el siglo de América, entonces la obra de Warhol toma aún más importancia. English: His work charts the development of our obsession with fame and questions the growing commercialization and uniformity of most areas of American life. Warhol was an extremely astute businessperson, who formed his first corporate entity, Andy Warhol Enterprises, in 1957. And he never really stopped working for hire. He made thousands of commissioned portraits, the first of which was this one of art collector Ethel Scull, based on photos taken by a machine or rather a photo booth. By the 1970s, commissioned portraits were a solid chunk of Warhol's income. Anyone could have their portrait made for $25,000, with additional

The site has also won praise within the more technically inclined members of the student body for conforming to modern web standards. The website cost £40,000 in total to build, and went live at the start of this term after extensive testing over the summer vacation. The Union bought extra capacity for the site, in order to cope with the rush that was expected after Freshers’ Fair with students joining andrejoining clubs and societies. So far, the site has coped admirably with the almost 27,000 page impressions per day. Though the vast majority of payments for club membership went through without problems, around ten students found their payment being declined when the system was in fact taking payment. This problem was identified quickly, as the site is being closely monitored to ensure it is functioning correctly, and the money was returned to the students without them even realising what had occurred. In addition to the online payment of club membership, the new site has become a far more valuable resource for clubs and societies officers than the previous website.

a refectory, where professional staff and visiting members could eat and talk together in a communal way. Now, the idea for a research center at the National Gallery goes much further back to the early 1950s, when Paul Mellon-- you see here on the left-- had conversations with director David Finley-- in his office on the right-- and Chief Curator John Walker about setting up a place for scholars to work in a great library like that in ancient Alexandria. In this immediate post-war period, there was a very strong sense that the cultural ties between Europe and the United States needed to be rebuilt, and that the National Gallery should play a leading role here. And John Walker, you see here in a photograph with Berenson and Frederick Hartt-- Walker was especially interested in what Berenson was attempting to do at I Tatti, where he had spent some time. And in 1956, Berenson even wrote that he wanted Walker to direct ITatti for Harvard. The first concrete result of all this general thinking was the establishment of the A.W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts, inaugurated in 1949, with funding again provided by Paul Mellon and his sister Ailsa. The series was founded, and I quote, "to bring to the people of the United States the results of the best contemporary thought and scholarship bearing upon the subject of the fine arts," end quote. With typical broadmindedness, the trustees, inspired by Paul Mellon's vision, determined that the distinguished speakers might come from any discipline, "provided such subjects have a relationship to or bearing on the Fine Arts" or "their understanding, appreciation, and promotion." Paul Mellon and his first wife, Mary, had been close to Carl Jung before the war, visiting him at Bollingen in Switzerland. And here you see Jung with his wife and below that, the house, Bollingen, which gave its name to so many of the productions of the Center. Jung's teaching strongly influenced the mandate for the lectures as it did

saying, I major in IR, international relations, they said, I major in NR, nationalist relations? You can imagine the pushback you would get. What I'm getting at is "nationalism" is not a good word, at least until the last two years. That's kind of peculiar because the word comes from the Latin "natio." And it was considered, even in antiquity, a progressive idea that, unlike the Greek city-state where people of the same language, roughly the same traditions, the same ethnic background were politically fragmented, in Italy they came up with a new concept of unification. And they thought that that would be a more equitable and successful way of solving rivalries between different people. So what happened to the concept? Woodrow Wilson, remember, went to Versailles in January of 1919 promising that people who spoke the same language and had the same ethnic background and mostly the same religion would get to have their own national destiny. They would not be subject to imperial rule by others. Sowhat happened? I think very briefly, the answer's Germany, until the French Revolution sort of gave a catalyst to the modern idea of nationalism, the Congress of Vienna. But the unification of Germany, creating the largest country in Europe warped the idea of nationalism because it was a little bit different than the other European countries. And by that, I mean it was involved in three wars-- the Franco-Prussian War of 1871; it invaded through Denmark, Belgium, and France in 1914; and, of course, it went into Poland in 1939 on September 1 and triggered World War II. But it wasn't just people felt that Germany was aggressive, but people felt that they had redefined nationalism. By that, I mean even before national socialism of the 1930s, there was a movement in Germany that said that Germans are going to be defined by "blut und boden"-- blood and soil. And what that meant was, you could live in Germany, within the boundaries of Germany, you could speak German,

shape of a once glamorous American billionaire financier named Jeffrey Epstein — a man now waiting to stand trial in Florida after being accused of paying underage girls for tawdry sexual encounters. Epstein, it seems, took Ghislaine under his wing when she arrived in New York a broken and lonely woman and helped her not only back on to her feet but also to become one of the most sought-after members of the city’s social elite. Ghislaine, 46, first met Epstein, 54, in New York in 1991, the year of her father’s death and a time when she was said to be desperately lonely. She was instantly attracted to him — a man as flamboyant, dominant and rich as the father she had just lost. In no time, she was appearing at Epstein’s side as the "celebrity" guest at the opening of a glamorous Manhattan restaurant. She was also a regular guest at his Upper EastSide apartment. Very soon, a friend reported that "her dependence [on Epstein] is pretty total". At one time, there were even rumours they would marry. Epstein provided for Ghislaine a life of glamorous parties, exotic vacations and well-connected friends. He showered her with gifts: £300 bottles of champagne, grand holidays and offered her the use of his mansions and seven cars. Together, they lived life to excess. But most important, Epstein helped Ghislaine forget her past. Through him, she began to build a respectability in New York that would have been impossible in London, where Maxwell’s crimes were less easily forgotten. Epstein was not, however, altogether straightforward. He may have been a firm fixture on the social scene but he had, to say the least, an opaque professional history — a little like Robert Maxwell. He is rumoured to have worked either for the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, the CIA or even both. On one occasion, he arrived in

by all United States light and medium bombers. Although it has been established that the very high claims of enemy aircraft kiddle scored by the fortress were greatly exaggerated, there can be no doubt that the total was formidable. By its almost unrivaled period of first line service, the fortress proved itself one of the classic bomber designs of all time. Its performance proved a triumphant vindication of the principles of air strategy and bomber design established by a few far sighted airmen and engineers in the United States of America, long before World War II. While the Boeing Super Fortress gained for itself undying fame as the first aircraft to drop an atomic weapon, thus bringing about the sudden termination of hostilities in the Pacific. It is also deserving of a place in the history of aircraft warfare as one of the principal allied weapons in the war against Japan. The laborious and costly island hopping campaign conducted in the Pacific by the allied forces wasundertaken largely to seize bases for super fortress operations against the Japanese homeland. Once bases had been established, the super fortresses of the United States 20th Air Force systematically and inextricably raised the industrial cities of Japan one by one with a terrible weapon of fire. The closely packed and lightly constructed Japanese buildings were extremely vulnerable to incendiary attacks. Now the destruction wreaked by super forces in some built up areas amounted to as much as 99.5%. In addition to these devastating blows against strategic targets, the super fortresses were simultaneously employed on a highly successful campaign of mine laying in Japanese home waters, thereby applying an economic and logistic strangle hold to the islands of Nipon. The delivery of the two atomic bombs against Hiroshima and Nagasaki was therefore in the nature of a cous de gras although essential to shorten the war. (peaceful music) The super fortress was largely responsible for the final defeat and surrender of Japan without invasion and the instrument

its purposes had been to hold some prominent Jews for exchange with interned Germans. It was only as the flood of inmates from camps in Poland poured into Belsen in the last months of the war that it took on its familiar, hellish character. But, for the British public, it was inconceivable that there could have been other camps that were even worse, so people thought Belsen was as bad as it got. This obscured awareness of the existence of purpose-built extermination camps in Poland, and the policy they were designed to implement. Belsen inmates (PHOTOS: AR-Online/Belsen museum) Nor was Belsen linked at the time with the specifically Jewish tragedy, despite the fact that Jews were the majority of the inmates at the liberation. Again, this obscured the reality of Hitler's genocidal war against the Jews. After the war, Belsen became a camp for displaced persons. Reilly describes the struggle between the surviving Jews in the camp to establish their rights as Jews, rather thanas nationals of the countries from which they had been deported. This brought them into conflict with the British government, which wanted to repatriate nationals to their home countries. Clearly this made no sense for Jews whose communities no longer existed. The British government was loath to concede that Jews were different from other DPs, reasoning that to do so would be to follow Nazi ideology. They were also worried that a strong Jewish presence would inevitably lead to unwelcome pressure for a Jewish homeland. In the propaganda battles that followed, the British were so afraid of the resonance that the word "Belsen" would have around the world that they renamed the camp Hohne. The Jews, with equal resolution, continued to call it Belsen. Reilly's analysis is scholarly, meticulously referenced and never less than even-handed. When discussing the British government's obstructive policies, or the less-than-impressive response of Anglo-Jewry to the plight of European Jews after the war, she always explains these "shortcomings" in the

The majority of people living rough only start to abuse drugs and alcohol after they have found them selves homeless. Drugs and alcohol are one of the main causes of death for people living on the streets, accounting for more than one third of homeless mortalities. Living on the street is tough on the body lowering the immune system making the homeless prone to infection and disease.

the Elizabeth settlement, at last there had been a lead from the papacy, but in a sense it was also a disaster for the average traditionalist in religion. Now they were in a position where they had to choose. They had to make a stand, like it or not. Geopolitical realities increasingly demanded it, and for many of them that was an absolutely agonizing situation. And in the years that followed, in many ways, it got worse. From the mid 1570s missionary priests trained in the Netherlands began arriving to stiffen the faith of the Catholic faithful. There were something like sixty who arrived in the course of the later 1570s. Between then and the end of the reign in 1603, something like 500 Catholic priests were smuggled into England to operate in secret. From the 1580s, they were joined by another group, the Jesuits, the shock troops of the Catholic Counter Reformation in Europe who joined in the mission to England. Nowof course from their perspective these were heroic people, and yet they were fatally compromised by their association with a foreign power, Spain, and they were inevitably associated with the dynamics of religious conflict in Europe-- not least because some of the leaders of the Catholic mission subscribed to the view that it was no sin to depose or even murder a heretical monarch. And so began a series of plots which were uncovered throughout the middle and later years of Elizabeth's reign. In 1571, the Ridolfi plot to depose Elizabeth, place Mary, Queen of Scots on the throne, marry her to the Duke of Norfolk. That ended in 1572 with the execution of Norfolk. In 1572, the news came from France of the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre of Protestants in Paris. This seemed a demonstration from abroad of the risk of Catholic treachery. In 1583, the Throckmorton plot to murder Elizabeth was uncovered. A year later in 1584, the leader

word "patriarch" in the book-- and blessed patriarch, because it sounded quite religious. And people weren't certain whether or not potential readers would not think that this was about a religious figure, even though it's Thomas Jefferson, obviously, and not a religious figure. I was a bit concerned about-- I like the phrase "most blessed of the patriarchs"-- I was concerned that people would think that Peter and I, my co-author, Peter Onuf, who was the Thomas Jefferson Professor at the University of Virginia, that we were calling him the "most blessed of the patriarchs." And we insisted that the phrase be in quotations, because that is a quote from Jefferson himself. That's a phrase that he used to describe himself. And I'll give you the context. He was writing a letter to a woman named Angelica Schuyler Church, who many people who've listened to the Hamilton cast album, or who actually saw the play, will recognize as Angelica Schuyler, one of the Schuyler sisters. And she was someone who Jefferson metwhen he was in Paris. She was the sister-in-law of Alexander Hamilton. So in the small world, the way that these things go, Jefferson and Hamilton were in Washington's cabinet after Jefferson returned from Paris. They started out OK, and then ended up as enemies, bitter political rivals. And their rivalry is something that has sparked controversy on both sides. People who were partisans of Hamilton, people who were partisans of Jefferson, they've come to, in sort of a caricature way, represent two understandings about the future of America-- an agricultural nation, or a nation of manufacturing, industrialists and manufacturing. Hamilton wasn't against farmers. And Jefferson really was not against manufacturing. He just thought that that was something that was going to come at a later stage. But that's the battle lines that people draw when they're thinking about the two of them. So Jefferson and Hamilton are in the cabinet. They are fighting. And they're fighting for Washington's favor. And in the end, Hamilton wins. And Jefferson decides that he has

is that of Norman Jones. In his view Elizabeth and her chief adviser, William Cecil, intended initially to return to the situation of 1552 just before the death of her brother, Edward VI. But they met severe opposition in Parliament particularly in the House of Lords, opposition not only from the Catholic bishops who sat in the Lords but also from some of the leading lay members of the peerage, and so they had to return to Parliament with a distinctly watered-down draft prayer book setting out their desires for religious settlement. So, for example, in 1559 in the prayer book they brought to Parliament the communion service was in fact a blend of the prayer book of 1552 with its very Protestant statements regarding the communion service being essentially a service of remembrance and thanksgiving. They blended that with the earlier 1549 prayer book which had allowed for the possibility that there was a real presence of Christ's body and bloodin the communion service. And so in 1559 the wording at the administration of the communion was as follows: the bread..."the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for thee preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life." That's 1549, followed immediately by "take and eat this in remembrance that Christ died for thee and feed on him in thy heart by faith with thanksgiving"; that's 1552. They blended the two together so that you could read it as you chose. It's been described by Diarmaid MacCulloch as "a masterpiece of theological engineering," or fudging the issue you could say. Again in 1559 the bill brought before Parliament put forward the title for Elizabeth not as supreme head of the Church of England but only of Supreme Governor. That's often seen as being a more appropriate title for a woman, governor rather than head, but it also of course left open the possibility that the settlement might be accepted, that the position of supreme governor might

sipping vintage Dom Perignon champagne from cut crystal glasses before toasting their hostess — the woman whose immaculate society credentials had drawn them all together. As the glasses of such an elite set were being raised in her honour, she must surely have felt as if she had finally made it in New York. After the toast, she took the guests into the townhouse’s imposing library. There, they were confronted with yet more evidence of how seriously their hostess took the social pecking order. She had stuck fake spines on the books, with titles referring to her best friends. According to an eyewitness, this led to something of a scramble among the guests as they struggled to see if they had made it as one of her book titles: "There was ferocious competition between guests as they compared how far up the friendship pecking order they were." So just who is this superstarsociety hostess who has New York’s rich and talented clamouring for admission to her inner circle?

It was in 1991 that Maxwell plunged from the deck of his £15million luxury yacht — a 180ft vessel named Lady Ghislaine after his daughter — and soon afterwards it was discovered he had stolen £440 million from the Mirror Group pension fund. Ghislaine’s reputation, like that of the rest of her family, was in tatters. As it became clear that Maxwell’s employees had lost their pensions because he had raided them, any member of the Maxwell family seen living the high life provoked contempt and fury. Ghislaine soon caused outrage by being photographed boarding Concorde while at the same time publicly speaking of her financial struggle — her father, she lamented, had left her only an annual £80,000 trust fund

first food comedy, ‘Salt ‘N’ Pepper’, has signed Britney Spears for a song-and-dance number in his untitled debut Hindi production. “Britney’s song is an integral part of the film. She sings and dances to the title track of the movie, which is a peppy number and will be shot lavishly. It will be a proper Hindi number with some good English lines as well, to make it universal in its appeal,” says Sadanandan. The filmmaker claims to have made the payments to one of her agencies. He says he has blocked her dates and is working on the song. The producer adds that he will officially announce the name of the project, along with the cast and crew members, closer to when the film goes on floors. “We do not believe in tom-tomming about the project before we start work. We want to make sure that things are in place before we announce the name of the music directors,” says Sadanandan.

Salman was apparently upset with SRK for turning down a guest role in Salman’s production, Mr And Mrs Khanna (2009). On being taunted by Salman, SRK retaliated by taking a dig at Salman’s past relationship with Aishwarya Rai. It got ugly as the two stars were apparently prepared to fight it out. Literally.

his placement here at the Peabody Museum has really enabled him to extend this investigation to North American museums, and particularly through the fortunate partnership between the universities both at Harvard and at Adelaide in South Australia during the 1930s, which has resulted in a collection that, as you heard, he'll talk about today. And while he studies these intriguing historical figures, Philip is a fascinating man in his own right. I recently found out that in his spare time, Philip retreats to a cottage in the bush in Adelaide in Australia and distills eucalyptus oil. I personally have watched him studying a singular object for hours and days. Well, I haven't watched him for hours or days, but I go back and he's still studying the same object. And he's carefully sketching every single detail, and the results are truly kind of amazing works of art in their own right. And I've no doubt that they will one day also be present in a museum collection orlittle beyond reinforcing a rather easily formed, rather simplistic conclusion that ethnographic collecting has been integral to colonialism, and must, therefore, be subject to the same critique. Now, this seems reasonable on the surface, until we begin to recognize and differentiate between the different forms of collecting and the actual biographies of objects in collections and begin to understand that these differ widely. Couple of years ago, I attended a conference in Berlin, which was examining the detailed history of collecting events occurring during the sacking of Benin City in West Africa during 1897, The sacking of Beijing Summer Palace during the Opium Wars, the Namibian massacres of 1904, and other instances of violent colonial acquisitions of treasured heritage. These collecting events, you might say, were little more than looting. Spectacular examples, undoubtedly, but looting or theft can occur on any scale on any frontier. And that certainly happened in Australia. Facing those realities is part of a curator's brief these days, so that a historian's skill set has to be added to

was the day Richard Ramirez was caught, beaten, and handed over to the LAPD by a group of neighborhood locals who spotted the serial killer wandering the streets of East LA. Flash forward to September 20th, 1989, when the night stalker was convicted of all charges, 13 counts of murder, 5 attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults, and 14 burglaries. Moments after being sentenced to death by gas chamber, Ramirez said, big deal. Death always went with the territory. See you in Disneyland. Moving into the 1st of September, after decades of disappointing searches and salvage expeditions, the RMS Titanic was finally found off the coast of Newfoundland. While the ship's wreckage is too unstable and delicate to salvage, divers recovered thousands of items, which have been conserved and put on public display.

parallels and also contrasts with what's going on in the Indian situation. As Hannah Arendt acknowledges in her rich essay, "Truth and Politics," quote, "the politically most-relevant truths are factual," unquote. And they are, as political theorist Lind Zerilli underscores, also the most imperiled, the most vulnerable to human mendacity and to the pursuit of narrow political interests. Politics is a domain of pleural contingent opinions, argues Arendt, where the understanding of freedom is rooted in an appreciation of the human capacity for speech and other kinds of action. Wittgenstein shows us how such a world is made up of reference frames that are subject to collapse. Some Syrian filmmakers share this appreciation, showing us the depth of politics that occurs when a common world in formation has been crushed by dissimulation and violence. So I want to show you one clip of the anonymous film collective, Abounaddara, whose work over the course of the uprising suggests that when journalistic conventions are challenged something creative and out of the ordinary might happenin their stead. For the most part the collective's short films hint at prospects that are left vaguely defined, gesturing towards experience of self-assertion as well as of self-dissolution and unpredictability. They offer accounts of events or situations in which there may be room for reclaiming judgment as a political activity. So this clip that I'm going to show you is number three of a four-part series that chronicles the evolution of a soldier fighting for the opposition. His decomposition in the face of war time's gruesome intensities and his attempts in part four to recalibrate his relation to the world. So part one establishes the soldier's first realization that he could kill. He was scared but he felt he had no choice. That refrain, that he had no choice, provides the central animating theme of the first segment, a testimony to judgment-suspension or at least compromise, to the simultaneous recognition and evasion of responsibility, to an emotional catastrophe that leaves the social fabric torn. He had to protect his family. He knows

the floor to open up so he could just go through, like "poof," I'm gone, [laughter] and he supposedly went back to Hamilton and said, "Yeah, I won the bet, not worth it" [laughter]-- really not worth it. He is just this imposing figure. During the war, on many occasions he actually really had to be an imposing figure not just for reasons of concrete military success, which--it's true he did, for that reason-- but also because he individually personified the Revolutionary cause in many ways, including to the British, not just to his own men but to the British as well, to British military authorities. He had to be imposing enough to command respect from people who were not necessarily prepared to see him as the commanding general of a real army. And as an example of this, one of the sort of war games that the British occasionally deployed against Washington was to address things to him in writingarmy, but also to command the respect of the enemy. So clearly he's an imposing figure and he had to be, but there's an important point to make here, and that is, Washington combined that imposing demeanor with something that was equally if not more important for him to display as a leader in the new nation, and as particularly a military leader in the new nation, and that is that he had a modest demeanor. He was imposing, but he did not look like someone who was grasping for power. He knew how to display himself to his best advantage, but he wasn't all pomp and show and display. He was the opposite. He was modest, he was cool, he was reserved, and this was really important in the new American nation for some very good reasons which had to do with distrust of power.

to maneuver. While Namaqualand's plants and pollinators have evolved hand in hand there is one relationship that has a much greater effect on the landscape than any other. The Gorteria diffusa is a species of flower, commonly called the Beetle daisy. This particular species stands out from other Namaqualand flowers for one specific reason. Over time, it has morphed into 15 different versions of the same orange flower. But every single version attracts the same creature. The Megapalpus fly. When plants adapt into different variations, it's usually in an attempt to attract various pollinators, increasing their chance of being pollinated. The Gorteria's extraordinary adaptation is therefore unique because it's not caused by an attempt to attract different pollinators. Rather, the different versions get pollinated by the same species of fly in different ways. One particular version of the flower mimics the body of a fly so accurately that the male often ends up attempting to mate with the raised spot on the petals. He gets completely covered in pollen, and helps to pollinate other beetlesaline soils of these quartz fields. Miniature landscapes, dotted with miniature plants, which are all perfectly adapted to this habitat. The Bababoudjie, or in English, "baby's bottom", is a succulent found only in the quartz fields of Namaqualand. It's developed a remarkable survival strategy, which allows it to call this place home. In order to hide from hungry herbivores, it disguises itself as one of the grey-white rocks that surround it. And hiding in plain sight isn't just for plants. These stony plains host very specific and unusual creatures. Which often go unnoticed. Camouflaged perfectly in the white, semi-translucent fields, the stone grasshopper is a master of disguise. Everything about his body keeps him concealed in the quartz fields. Parts of him even look slightly chipped, mimicking the flawed shapes of the stones. The tiny hairs on his legs smooth the contours of his shadow. When feeling threatened, he can flatten his antennae to enhance his rock-like appearance. He is Namaqualand's ultimate impersonator.

Five years later, 1952, President Truman's Majestic 12 special panel produced their "First Annual Report" that described, quote, "unidentified planform space vehicles," close quote. Planform meant a delta or crescent shape, not a round disk. Here are paragraphs six and seven from MJ-12's 1952 report. Quote, "Radar film and tower logs do not explain the merging of three radar targets prior to collision and subsequent crashes. There were five recovered bodies, two of which were found in a severely damaged escape cylinder, and the remaining three bodies were found some distance away from the cylinder. All five appear to have suffered from sudden decompression and heat suffocation," close quote. So there were three radar targetsand three crash sites that MJ-12 called Landing Zones One, Two, and Three. Landing Zone One was near Corona, New Mexico, about 75 miles northwest of Roswell. The same month of the crashes, another US government agency with the provocative title "Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit" summarized on July 22, 1947 what had been found at those three crash sites. Paragraph 12 stated, quote, "The most disturbing aspect of this investigation was there were other bodies found not far from Landing Zone One that looked as if they had been dissected as you would a frog," close quote. No explanation was given about whether the dissected bodies were animal, human, or alien. And then came this startling sentence. Quote, "Animal parts were reportedly discovered inside the craft at Landing Zone Two," close quote. Landing Zone Two was 20 miles southeast of Socorro, not far from Oscura Peak, southeast of the Trinity site in White Sands proving ground, where the United States tested its first atomic bomb two years earlier in

was backed up for several blocks following the chain-reaction collision, which occurred around 4:30 p.m. and involved a transit bus. Police, fire and ambulance crews responded to the scene, where one driver blew a fail on a roadside screening device. According to the police report, the northbound bus was rear-ended by a newer Kia, which was rear-ended by a Toyota RAV, which was rear-ended by a GMC Jimmy. No injuries were reported. The Jimmy was impounded and one woman arrested in connection with the collision.

managing the clerical aspect of the expedition, completing and filing the data cards with more than 100 physiological measurements for each individual, labeling hair and blood samples, and probably keeping the camp running. But they contributed far more than that. They developed a rapport with women and children in the field stations, and certainly played a crucial role-- played a crucial role in humanizing the expedition's work and explaining it to the people. The Carnegie Corporation had just funded the opening of a children's museum at the South Australia Museum, which opened a few days before the expedition departed. But they also, in the Carnegie Corporation-- I wish they were still as active. They also funded the establishment of a regime for testing Australian schoolchildren for their abilities and achievements in English, mathematics, and other subjects known as the ACER tests, which is still going today. The scheme had barely been implemented in Australian schools, but Dorothy and Bea arranged with mission schools for the tests to be part of the expedition's work. Once again, it wasthe vote. Malcolm is proud to pay 1 pound for his fishing license." At Walgett in central New South Wales a few weeks later, the expedition encountered a group living apart from the local mission in even poorer circumstances-- and I think there has been an image of that camp-- having to carry water a long distance from the town. And Tindale noted that their children attend school with white children. Objections are sometimes raised, but so far they have maintained their right to attend. When he asked why they did not opt for an easier life on a nearby mission, he was told, and I quote, "the people have decided to live away from the mission, where there are rations, but no work, for as independent people, they can earn up to 150 pounds annually. And this gives them meat, bread, and butter and fruit, whereas on stations, they only get soda damper and poor meat." Soda damper is a sort of flour-based bread. "Our

Mike Kelly, which recreates the Seven Star Cavern, a landmark in LA's Chinatown, which he positioned adjacent to an inaccessible enclosure that is part security fence, part traditional Chinese gate. They also had a show up of works by renowned Brazilian artists Lygia Pape, including two of her remarkable Tteia installations. Pape diverged from the harsh geometries of Brazil's concrete art movement in the 1950s, and evolved her own approach to abstraction that is simultaneously geometric and expressive. This installation, originally constructed in 1976, is made of metallic thread strung across the room to create volumes that transform as you move throughout the space. Here with her work, I was able to appreciate the softness, the subtlety, and the delicate beauty that is possible in abstraction-- how these lines slip in and out of legibility, as if by magic. It was transportive, immersive, and meditative, and I did not want to leave. But eventually, we had to, and we found our way to the Serpentine Galleries tosee their outdoor pavilions during the final weeks of their run. The series was conceived in 2000 as a way to introduce you to contemporary architecture by commissioning some of the world's greatest architects who had not yet completed a permanent building in the UK to make a temporary structure on the gallery's lawn, taking a maximum of six months from invitation to completion. This year's pavilion is designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, and is a play on one of the most basic elements of architecture-- the brick wall. Ingels' wall, however, has been unzipped and expanded into space, forming a cavity beneath it that houses a cafe and hosts activities. The program is a clever way to address and move beyond the strictures of a more traditional exhibition space. But the Serpentine has those as well. We took in their Marc Camille Chaimowicz exhibition, which probes the territory between art and design, public and private space, and the tenuous divisions between the everyday object, decoration, and

population is through deliberate climate change. Many believe that the New World Order possesses the technology to alter the weather in such a way that they can cause both temporary and long-term climate change resulting in famine, war for resources and flooding. This allows the NWO to manipulate world affairs while profiting from investing in the rebuilding of infrastructure after these events. One theorized way for them to control climate is through the technology developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA for short. Conspiracy theorists believe that the U.S. led DARPA has the ability to alter weather and cause earthquakes using radio waves transmitted into the ground or air. Number five is new world aliens. It's been suggested that the New World Order is either comprised of or controlled by an intelligent alien race. From cover ups of a crashed alien space craft at Roswell, to the secret testing of advanced aircraft at Area 51 in Nevada, the U.S. government andtorturous clicks and sound distortion which never end from inside their own head. This effect has been proven to work since the 1960s. Number three is the one world government. It's often believed that the New World Order's main goal is to create a one world government which either controls all countries or abolishes them altogether. Conspiracy theorists believe that this agenda is already coming to fruition and use a few examples from history to prove their point. For example, throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a desire by some to create an imperial federation out of the existing ex-colonies of the United Kingdom. The end goal was that these countries would eventually annex the rest of the world and create a global federal system much like the modern United States. The Commonwealth of Nations which was formed in 1949 is considered by some to be the first step towards this. Then there are others that point to

inquiries to [email protected]. prime-living.com Courtesy of The Alley Theatre Q How did the Alley Theatre get its name? On Nov. 10, 1947, more than 100 people met at a dance studio at 3617 Main to discuss a new theater for the city. Membership cost a dime and the payee received a vote on each question that needed resolution. Actress Rita Cobler paid her dime, looked at the narrow path that led to the building and suggested the new theater be named the Alley. The name got unanimous approval. The dance-studio-turnedtheater-at-night could seat only 87 theatergoers who suffered no heat in the winter and no fans in the summer. The nearest drinking fountain was three flights up and a sycamore tree, which grew through the roof with gaps around it, guaranteed that those seated nearby would get wet when it rained. Two years after the Alley’s first production, they moved to a fan factory on Berry Avenue and in 1968and carefully crafted that lifts us from the routine of our daily lives.

expedition, though, we have the extraordinary resource of Tindale's journal. And you will see that cropping up in the slides that we'll move to. And even more significantly, the testimony of Aboriginal people whom the expedition encountered at the various stations along the route. And I've sort of mapped those out here, or at least marked them. Every green dot is one of the stations that Tindale and Birdsell visited on their 16,000-mile journey in 1938, '39. So the background to the expedition, how did it happen? By the early 1920s, Australian anthropology had emerged from an earlier semi-professional base in museum ethnography, informed by the central paradigm of natural history, part of the British scientific legacy. in. Adelaide, this amalgam of interests had led to the formation of a distinct group of naturalists and medical men who, personified by the South Australian Museum's director, Edward Sterling, developed a coterie of interest focused on physical anthropology, a number of individuals. And under his directorship from 1888 until 1913, he'd seeded a particularbrand of physical anthropology, which gradually broadened into social anthropology during the 1920s. But it retained a strong empirical basis focused on defining the physical types of Aboriginal people and investigating their physical, social, and material culture trace. By the early 20s, these successors to Sterling, and particularly, the zoologist and anatomist Frederic Wood Jones-- no relation-- had begun to focus their efforts on salvage ethnography in Central Australia, where Aboriginal communities had only recently experienced the effects of European contact. By 1925, when representatives of the Rockefeller Foundation had visited Australia with the plan to fund Australia's first chair of anthropology, Wood Jones considered that Adelaide had a good chance of securing it along the lines being pursued by his group of researchers. When this bid failed, the Adelaide group formed their own Board for Anthropological Research and mounted an extraordinary series of short, intensive field expeditions to Central Australia each August in the university vacation from 1926 until the Second World War. And Tindale was the social anthropologist on those expeditions. And these are the-- not

September of 1793. The epidemic continued to spread, even infecting secretary of the treasury and future Lin Manuel Miranda musical subject Alexander Hamilton. Washington tried to tough it out, but when his neighbors came down with yellow fever, he fled the city. So did 20,000 others, including Thomas Jefferson. Before long, Philadelphia, which once had a population of 50,000 people, was practically a ghost town. According to Samuel Breck, the city population was reduced by half, yet the disease continued to spread faster and faster. People who were healthy one day would be dead the next. Breck wrote, the wealthy soon fled. The fearless or indifferent remain from choice. The poor from necessity. In 1793, Philadelphia was still the capital of both the United States of America and the state of Pennsylvania. So when yellow fever shut the town down, the state and federal government shut down with it. Washington and his cabinet fled in September. Shortly thereafter, the legislature went into an indefinite recess when a dead body was discovered on the statehouse steps. Itfell on Matthew Clarkson, the Mayor of Philadelphia, and a small committee he formed to govern the city during the crisis. According to Samuel Breck, most of the wealthy citizens of Philadelphia fled the city. Historian Ashley Bowen suggests this was a politically sensitive issue for the young nation. They didn't want to suggest that Philadelphia wasn't a healthy place for the nation's capital or that the republic itself was diseased. To help Philadelphia survive the epidemic, the mayor formed a committee that was known as, well, the committee. They distributed food, paid for relief efforts by taking out loans, and helped connect people with doctors. They also arranged to take donations of money and supplies from concerned Philadelphians and Americans in other cities. Death and grief-- it pervades nearly every house in the city. Benjamin Rush was a prominent doctor, especially when it came to fighting yellow fever. He took on a leadership role. He worked for the College of Physicians to identify the fevers causes, develop

the banks of the James River on the soil of Old Virginia, the mother-state of slavery, as a witness of such a sudden reverse. The day is clear, the fields of grain are beautiful and the birds are singing sweet melodious songs while poor Mr. Clayton is crying to his servants for mercy." That's a revolution, described in the words of a former slave, words that were trying to capture the transformations of history at the same time his actions were trying to transform history. Words. Now, we will forever debate in this society the meaning of the Emancipation Proclamation. Over and over and over again we debate: did it really free anybody? Why did it only free the slaves in the states in rebellion? Why was Lincoln so bloody legalistic in this document? Was Richard Hofstadter right when he said it had all the eloquence of a bill of lading (which means a grocery list)? Why was it written like it was a legalprint, would spread like wildfire across the South, and it would bring about--there's no question--it will bring about increased activity, increased flight, increased movement toward Union lines by freed people, where they can do it. And there's all over the record we have testimony of Confederate soldiers themselves, of Southerners, white Southerners themselves saying they first heard about the Emancipation Proclamation from their slaves. Third, it committed the United States Government in the eyes of the world--and that's terribly important when we remember that Great Britain was on the verge of recognition of the Confederacy--more on that a bit later in the course, of how that foreign relationship and the problem of Civil War diplomacy is being managed by the two governments, Union and Confederate. And fourth, on the second page of the Emancipation Proclamation--or is it the third--in another very legalistic paragraph Lincoln formally authorizes once and for all, although it's already begun to happen, the recruitment of black men into the Union Armies and Navy, and it authorizes a

was suspected to have eaten beef or have beef in his fridge. As a result of which, a mob, a Hindu nationalist mob, went to his house, lynched him to death, and lynched one of his sons also, who escaped, luckily, escaped death. That was also dropped after a lot of criticism. Then a third campaign began, which has been called the Bharat Mata campaign, Mother India campaign, which insists that you, when demanded, should sing a victory anthem for Mother India. And if you do not sing a victory anthem for Mother India, a mob can be unleashed on you. And there are legislators from assemblies who've been tossed out, not simply average citizens, legislators from assemblies who refused to say "Bharat Mata ki jai," "victory to Mother India." Tossed out of the assembly. Now India's courts, of course-- now the Bharat Mata campaign is still underway and probably will lead to a lot of vigilante violence. All of this leads to a lot of vigilante violence. Groupsare privileged to go and attack dissenters. And the government does not stop that. The government does not stop it. Another example. When the student leader of India's, perhaps, leading university, Jawaharlal Nehru, the JNU, was present in a meeting which was discussing the fate of Kashmir in India, and some people ended up saying India should break up in pieces. He did not say that, but some people did say that in the meeting. He was charged with sedition and brought into legal-- the sedition case is still on. Not only that, when he was brought into Patiala court, about 200 lawyers attacked him physically. Lawyers are supposed to assume that he is not guilty until proven guilty. But 100 odd lawyers physically attacked him for disloyalty to the nation. And it was difficult to save him, actually, in the court of law where the trial was about to begin. Now the role of courts, of course, is extremely important. They are the final institutional repository,

I'm really delighted at this moment to be able to share with you all some of the highlights from Philip's career before he dives in. Philip Jones has been a curator in the South Australian Museum's Department of Anthropology since the 1980s. Apparently, he was a volunteer there when he first started out in 1981. His doctoral thesis concerns the history of Australian ethnographic collections, based on an analysis of 1,300 collectors and their collections, which is an impressive feat for a doctoral student. He's worked with several other anthropologists and linguists. He's undertaken fieldwork in southern South Australia, the Simpson Desert in Central Australia. And as a museum curator who is expected to produce exhibitions and publications, he came to realize at one point in his career that research should not be open-ended but should result in a clear contribution to knowledge, and ideally, that this contribution should be accessible and useful to descendant communities. His fieldwork with Aboriginal people has resulted in a large number of publications on history, art, andethnography. He has five books and about 30 articles and chapters, and more than 30 exhibitions curated from his base at the South Australian Museum. That museum is the one that holds the largest and most representative collection of Aboriginal material culture. In Australia, he pioneered a new approach to museum ethnography, where he uses history of particular objects and their biographies as entry points into new examinations of the frontier of the zone of encounter, characterized by mutual curiosity engagement just as much as a zone of violence and exploitation. He used this approach in his 2000 book, Ocher and Rust, Artifacts and Encounters on Australian Frontiers, an amazing book which you should all check out, which also won the inaugural Prime Minister's Award for Literary Non-fiction in 2008. In recent years, his field of interest has widened further beyond the borders of the Australian continent to include scientific expeditions and ethnography from further on in the field. And during 2001, Philip began intensive investigations on Australian Aboriginal collections outside of Australia, so in European museums. And

They also believed that the Mississippi Valley was sufficiently isolated from the Ohio Valley to warrant the simultaneous flourishing of quite distinct cultures over a long period. Since carbon dating was not yet discovered, Thomas used stratigraphic (after Lyell) analysis and, following the rest of the mandate, included detailed record keeping and documentation whenever appropriate. His findings were broadly accepted, and are still referenced. Underneath the layer of shells the earth was very dark and appeared to be mixed with vegetable mold to the depth of 1 foot. At the bottom of this, resting on the original surface of the ground, was a very large skeleton lying horizontally at full length. Although very soft, the bones were sufficiently distinct to allow of careful measurement before attempting to remove them. The length from the base of the skull to thebones of the toes was found to be 7 feet 3 inches. It is probable, therefore, that this individual when living was fully 7½ feet high.

know." Think of that, "the master of those who know." For centuries, Aristotle's authority seemed to go virtually unchallenged. Are you with me? Yet, the authority of Aristotle obviously no longer has quite the power that it once did. The attack began not all that long ago, really only as late as the seventeenth century. A man, who we will read later this semester, named Thomas Hobbes, was one who led the pack, led the charge. In the forty-sixth chapter of Leviathan, a chapter we will read later, Hobbes wrote, "I believe that scarce anything can be more repugnant to government than much of what Aristotle has said in his Politics, nor more ignorantly than a great part of his Ethics." Think of that – "nothing more repugnant to government than what Aristotle wrote in his Politics." Naturally, all thinkers, to some degree, have read Aristotle through their own lenses. Aquinas read Aristotle as a defender of monarchy. Dante, in his book, De Monarchia on monarchy, saw Aristotle as giving credenceto the idea of a universal monarchy under the leadership of a Christian prince. But Hobbes saw Aristotle quite differently. For Hobbes, Aristotle taught the dangerous doctrine of republican government that was seen to be practiced particularly during the Cromwellian Period in England, during the civil war. Aristotle's doctrine that man is a political animal, Hobbes believed, could only result and did result, in fact, in regicide, the murder of kings. There are certainly echoes of this reading of Aristotle as a teacher of participatory republican government in the later writings of democratic thinkers from Tocqueville to Hannah Arendt. Anyway, this returns us to the enigma of Aristotle. Who was this strange and elusive man whose writings seem to have been enlisted both for the support of monarchy and for republics, even for a universal monarchy and a smaller participatory democratic kind of government? Who was this man and how to understand his writings? The best place to start is, of course, with his views stated in the opening

This is a stop which lends itself to unstructured free time just lazing on the beach, wandering, and browsing the shops. It's the epitome of a Greek island town: a busy breakwater, fine little beach, and inviting lanes. While tourism dominates the economy, Mykonos still has a traditional charm thickly layered with white stucco, blue trim, and colorful bougainvillea. Back lanes offer tranquility away from the cruise crowds. As in many Greek island towns, centuries ago the windmills of Mykonos harnessed the steady wind, grinding grain to feed its sailors. Five mills still stand, perfectly positioned to catch the prevailing breeze.

Until now, he hadn't looked at it. >> SAPIEN: So that's the building. >> Mm-hmm. >> SAPIEN: Oh, man. Look at all that snow outside. >> Yeah. >> SAPIEN: You sure you want to see all this? >> I'm good. My brother was found totally naked. Was he taking his medication? Was he not taking his medication? Um, what was going on prior to that? >> NARRATOR: Bernard's medical records show that within a month of moving in, he was struggling. >> SAPIEN: We know from neighbors that he's outside practicing karate in the cold in his underwear in the days before his death. He's on a battery of medication that includes antipsychotics and other drugs for his physical health. And he's inconsistent about taking that medication. I mean, he's clearly not doing well in the days before he died. This progress note is from January 22. His ICL caseworker shows up to check out his apartment, sees that he's not there, and leaves. >> NARRATOR: Later that day, a caseworker from the other nonprofit saw him for 15 minutes to check that he had his medicine. Two days later, Bernard was dead. >> SAPIEN: So one of the things that Nestor mentions is that Bernard was walking around naked a lot in the days prior to his death. Would that be cause for concern or further investigation for ICL? >> Sure, to the extent that those are symptoms of his not managing stress well or those kinds of things or some potential decompensation. Sure, that would tend to trigger either additional services, a different kind of check, touching base with the psychiatrist or the therapist, depending on how serious it was judged to be. >> SAPIEN: So, this is a guy who's got schizoaffective disorder, had just moved into the community, paired with somebody who arguably is less functional than he is,

or eight point two meters long. Mythographers agree that Artemis was born first and subsequently assisted with the birth of Apollo, or that Artemis was born on the island of Ortygia and that she helped Leto cross the sea to Delos the next day to give birth to Apollo. In his early years when Apollo spent his time herding cows, he was reared by Thriae, the bee nymphs, who trained him and enhanced his prophetic skills. Apollo is also said to have invented the lyre, and along with Artemis, the art of archery. He then taught to the humans the art of healing and archery. Phoebe, his grandmother, gave the oracular shrine of Delphi to Apollo as a birthday gift. Themis inspired him to be the oracular voice of Delphi thereon. Although Apollo had many love affairs, they were mostly unfortunate: Daphne, in her efforts to escape him, was changed into a laurel, his sacred shrub; Coronis (mother of Asclepius) was shot by Apollo’s twin, Artemis, when Coronis proved unfaithful; and Cassandra (daughter ofKing Priam of Troy) rejected his advances and was punished by being made to utter true prophecies that no one believed. The fate of Niobe was prophesied by Apollo while he was still in Leto's womb. Niobe was the queen of Thebes and wife of Amphion. She displayed hubris when she boasted that she was superior to Leto because she had fourteen children (Niobids), seven male and seven female, while Leto had only two. She further mocked Apollo's effeminate appearance and Artemis' manly appearance. Leto, insulted by this, told her children to punish Niobe. Accordingly, Apollo killed Niobe's sons, and Artemis her daughters. According to some versions of the myth, among the Niobids, Chloris and her brother Amyclas were not killed because they prayed to Leto. Amphion, at the sight of his dead sons, either killed himself or was killed by Apollo after swearing revenge. A devastated Niobe fled to Mount Sipylos in Asia Minor and turned into stone as she wept. Her tears formed the river Achelous. Zeus had turned all the people of Thebes

other variants, the "kisses four" and so on-- the 1848 version is a kind of unselfconscious-- in McGann's view--romance subscribing to certain medieval ideas about women, simultaneously putting them on a pedestal and fearing, at the same time, that they're invested with a kind of black magic which destroys the souls and dissipates the sap of deserving young gentlemen: all of this is ideologically programmed, according to McGann, in the 1848 version. Why? Because Charles Brown behaved despicably toward women, he didn't like Fanny Brawne, and because Monckton Milnes, the actual editor of the 1848 edition, loved pornography and was a big collector of erotica. So that's why the 1848 text with its fear of and denigration of women, in contrast to the 1820 text, is inferior. Well, two things: first of all, who's to say the 1848 text wasn't Keats's last thoughts? In other words, yes, he was already ill when the Indicator text was published in 1820. It is pretty close to the end of hispolitically correct. He doesn't like "To Autumn" because he thinks that "Autumn" was published in collusion with Keats's conservative friends in the Poems of 1820, which bowdlerized everything he had to say of a progressive political nature. He thinks that "To Autumn" is a big sellout, in other words, and that yes, 1819 happened to be a year of good harvest, and so Keats turns that year of good harvest into something permanent, into a kind of cloud cuckoo-land in which the fruit falls into your basket and the fish jump into your net and everything is just perfect. Well, do you think the poem is really like that? You've read the third stanza, which McGann totally ignores apart from "Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?" In other words, he gives you the opening but he doesn't give you any sense of the rest of the stanza, because for him "To Autumn" is all about the first stanza. For

which provided the ultimate vindication of the American visionaries of strategic air power. The super fortresses made an immense contribution to subsequent bomber design. It was the second World War's heaviest production war plane and the first pressurized aircraft to obtain large scale production. It was also the first to make extensive use of remotely controlled armament but perhaps the most remarkable feature of its history was the fact that it was designed, built, tested and placed in operational service within four years. Although each type had its staunch appearance, the consolidated liberator was somewhat overshadowed in fame if not an achievement. By the Boeing Fortress during the second World War, this was despite the fact that not only was the liberator built in considerable larger numbers than the fortress, it was produced in greater quantities then any other American aircraft. Such a unique production record is all the more remarkable for such a large four engine aircraft and the liberator operated over more fronts for a considerably longerperiod and was produced in a greater variety of versions than any other allied or enemy bomber. By comparison with the fortress, the liberator was indeed an ugly duckling. Its deep, slab sided fusalage an immense barn door like vertical table services, were features hardly indicative of speed and agility. One of the prime virtues of the liberator and one which invariably hallmarks a great war plane was its versatility. In addition to strategic bombing, it was used with equal facility for maritime reconnaissance and anti submarine operations, passenger and freight transportation, as a flying tanker, and for photographic reconnaissance as well as for many other duties. It was this quality in fact which largely accounted for the extraordinary total of 18,188 liberators and liberator variance constructed by the USAAF between delivery of the first production aircraft in June 1941 and the closing down of the last assembly line on the 31st of May 1945.

Barry Woods, President of the host club Cabrera, welcomed the players and paid tribute to members of a steering group, formed last summer, to pave the way forward for the alliance and form the Costa Almeria Lawn Bowls Committee. He wished everyone an enjoyable afternoon and expressed his hope that the alliance would continue to grow and prosper. Ian Brewster Chairof the newly formed committee thanked Barry for his welcome and paid tribute to Cabrera members for providing well-maintained facilities, in particular the bowling greens. He then introduced the delegates Jim Pike and Colin Wright from Almeria, David Jenkins from Cabrera, Brian Halliwell from Indalo and Pete Anderson and Barrie West from La Mata so that a name could be put to a face and, added jokingly, so that people would know who to blame when things go wrong. Mick Johnson, also from Indalo, was training with the national squad and was unable to attend. Ian also introduced Gerard Douglas, committee Administrator, and stated that the delegates were easy to work with, totally committed to and motivated by their role and, as a committee, they intended to walk before they run, learn from their mistakes and give the alliance their best shot. On behalf of the committee Ian then thanked the bowlers for their attendance and reminded them that their presence inaugurated

in the water with an animal that formidable. (intense music) The few steps between the deck and the shark cage created a bridge to the world of the great white. My heart began to race English: but this time, the nerves I felt were more distinct. This was an adrenalin rush from the excitement of a life's dream nearing closer with each and every step. My moment had finally arrived. Here we go! (water splashing) (bubbles burbling) As I entered the cool 65 degree water, my eyes began to adjust and I became aware of the endless blue void that lurked below. The sunlight danced through the 12,000 feet of water surrounding the landscape of the island. And there was no bottom in sight. Meaning the sharks could be anywhere and come from any direction. Looking around, scanning for our first shark, I was in awe of the clarity of the water and the abundance of fish in the area. Our main challenge at this point was getting properly But after a quick lap around our cage, it disappeared again. As fast as the giant flashed into view, it was gone. But this was proof, a victory, we were going to be seeing sharks today. And hopefully, lots of them. On average, great white sharks will have up to 300 teeth in their mouths at any given time. And these teeth are arranged in up to seven rows with the first two known as the working teeth. (tense music) As you can see by our footage, their attacks are calculated and precise. The torpedo shape of their body allows the great white to accelerate up to speeds of, get this, 35 miles an hour, and strike with the force of 29Gs. So forget about the bite for a second, the impact alone is enough to kill prey all by itself. As I calmly observe the frenzy of sharks surrounding the cage, I am reminded that I'm in their world.

world. This is 1985. 1985 started off on a seemingly positive note, when National Geographic published a cover story of Koko the Gorilla, who learned sign language. Koko got a brand new kitten, which she named All Ball, because she thought her new pet looked like a ball. Compared to what my friends have named their pets, she is not the worst name giver. Sadly, All Ball was hit by a car after the kitten escaped Koko's cage the month before, in December of '84. When Koko was informed, she signed the words bad, sad, bad. Frown, cry, frown, sad, trouble. It wasn't all sad for Koko though, a few months later, Francine Patterson, Koko's instructor and caregiver, allowed her to pick out two more kittens, which she did, calling them Lipstick and Smoky. In her time, Koko the Gorilla became quite the star, meeting celebrities like Robin Williams, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Mr. Rogers. On January 20th, Ronald Reagan began his second term as the Presidentof the United States.

U.S. hampered her efforts, she says. “It took three years to get my first article accepted,” she says. “I was shot down in flames each time I submitted an article.” Since that start, Holtzhausen has published 27 scholarly articles and book chapters, presented her findings at more than 45 conferences and received more than 20 grants and awards. She has mentored more than 35 graduate students in her career, several of whom have become professors at the University of Miami, University of Maryland and Georgia State University, among other schools. In 2008, an OSU search committee approached Holtzhausen and asked her to apply for director of the OSU School of Journalism and Broadcasting. Her research had come to committee members’ attention through the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, the most influential organization in journalism and mass communication education in the U.S. Holtzhausen did so, won the position and for the next few years worked to rebuild a school whose mission was rapidly changing. “There were hints of the school’sname being changed when I started, so as school head, the first order of business was to review the curriculum,” she says. What she discovered was the school needed a name that would more accurately describe its mission. In 2010 — in the face of some resistance from alumni and professors — the school changed its name to the OSU School of Media and Strategic Communications. Bachelor’s degrees now are offered in strategic communication, multimedia journalism and sports media. “The curriculum changes better prepare students for successful careers in today’s rapidly evolving media landscape,” she says. Making sense of language Along with her administrative duties, Holtzhausen keeps up with that rapidly changing media landscape through the research she started at Rand Afrikaans University (now University of Johannesburg) in Johannesburg in 1995. She has taken her research and published it in a book titled Public Relations as Activism: Postmodern Approaches to Theory & Practice. Holtzhausen uses vignettes to explain her studies.

great pleasure to introduce Richard Schacht to you. Dick was an undergraduate philosophy concentrator here at Harvard, as you've just heard, where, among other things, he studied with Paul Tillich and with John Rawls. He did his graduate work at Princeton working with Walter Kaufmann. He joined the Department of Philosophy at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 1967. And he is currently Professor of Philosophy and Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences there. On top of being a superb teacher and a productive scholar, he has tirelessly served the University of Illinois into long stints as chair of the philosophy department, as chair of the University Senate, as an interim dean, and in many other capacities. Dick has worked in a wide-ranging way-- on European philosophy, mostly of the 19th and 20th centuries, but some earlier modern philosophy as well, on philosophical anthropology, social theory, and the theory of value. One focus of his work has been Nietzsche, whom he's going to talk about today. Besidesnumerous essays, Dick has written two books about Nietzsche, one entitled Nietzsche in 1983 and another, Making Sense of Nietzsche, an examination and response to recent debates about the interpretation of Nietzsche in 1995. He's played a constant leading role in the North American Nietzsche Society and edited a number of collections dealing with Nietzsche's work. He's also written on Hegelian and Marxist themes and alienation and, more recently, in the future of alienation and has published a series of clear and interesting studies of modern philosophers in his two books, Classical Modern Philosophers-- Descartes to Kant and Hegel and After-- Studies in Continental Philosophy Between Kant and Sartre. Just last year, Dick and Philip Kitcher published Finding an Ending, a co-authored study of philosophical themes in Wagner's Ring [? circle. ?] Among other projects, Dick is currently the general editor of the projected five-volume Norton Anthology of Western Philosophy.

Today we're going to be hearing about when free speech is actually its opposite. So from Dr. Shon Meckfessel. He a faculty member of the English department at Highland College. He received his PhD in Language and Rhetoric at the University of Washington in 2014, and a Master's in Teaching and English to Speakers of other Languages in 2010. He has published two books, Nonviolence Ain't What it Used to Be: Unarmed Insurrection and the Rhetoric of Resistance, and Suffled How it Gush: A North American Anarchist in the Balkans. Meckfessel has authored a number of academic and popular articles, and has appeared as a social movement scholar on radio and TV. He has been involved in social movements and protests for the last 30 years in the US, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. So without further ado, Dr. Shon Meckfessel. Thank you so much, [INAUDIBLE]. I want to begin by acknowledging that we are in occupied Duwamish land. And we were honored, actually, on Monday-- ora student group also, invited Alice Walker the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Color Purple, very famous novel, famous film, to come and speak at the University of Michigan at the same college. And the college dis-invited her. They said that she could not speak because-- they actually sent a letter to her. They said some of the donors in the school did not like what she has said about the state of Israel. She made comments that said that she grew up in the Jim Crow South. And when she visited Israel and Palestine, she said the system there reminded her of growing up in the Jim Crow South. So because she'd been talking about, the same university with that same chancellor we just heard from said she was not allowed to talk, and cancelled her talk. So and currently, that same college, you can look at the headlines, I'm curious how it's going to turn out, but it sounds like they actually are going

ordinary authority is turned on its ear for one day. Queen for a day, as it were, is something that is available to any citizen once a year. These are all ways of defusing what they, in fact, bring into visibility and consciousness-- mainly the existence, perhaps the inevitable existence, of subversion with respect to structures and circulatory systems of power. It's this relationship between power and subversion that the New Historicism, especially in taking up issues of the Early Modern period, tends to focus on and to specialize in. Now it's not wholly clear that Jerome McGann has ever really thought of himself as a New Historicist. He has been so designated by others, but I think there is one rather important difference in emphasis, at least between what he's doing and what Greenblatt and his colleagues do in the Early Modern period. McGann doesn't really so much stress the reciprocity of history and discourse. He is interested in the presence of history, the presence ofimmediate social and also personal circumstances in the history of a text. His primary concern is with--at least in this essay--textual scholarship. He himself is the editor of the new standard works of Byron. He has also done a standard works of Swinburne, and he has been a vocal and colorful spokesperson of a certain point of view within the recondite debates of textual scholarship: whether textual scholarship ought to produce a text that's an amalgam of a variety of available manuscripts and printed texts; whether the text it produces ought to be the last and best thoughts of the author-- that's the position that McGann seems to be taking in this essay-- or whether the text, on the contrary, ought to be the first burst of inspiration of the author. All the people who prefer the earliest versions of Wordsworth's Prelude, for example, would favor that last point of view. In other words, McGann is making a contribution here not least to the

elucidate various points, comparison is made with trade, but there's no real evidence. We don't really know what he did for a living. We know that he married well. His first wife, Khadija, K-H-A-D-I-J-A, was from a wealthy family, a higher class family than Mohammed's own. And we also know that Mohammed got his start as a religious thinker, as a prophet, at the age of forty, an encouragement to those of us who are slow to get our careers off the ground. The discouraging part is that his career only lasts a relatively brief time. He dies ten years after the Hegira, but he does accomplish an awful lot. What was his religious experience? What was the revelation vouchsafed to him that he preached to the citizens of Mecca beginning around 615 to 620? It is certainly a message of monotheism against what was considered to be a prevailing paganism, or polytheism on the part of the merchants and tribesmen of Arabia. But aswe've said, Arabia had lots of Jews and Christians as well. And it's a little tricky to tell how much Mohammed would have known about Judaism and Christianity. But it looks as if he did. And indeed, it looks as if his preaching begins as a kind of biblical monotheism for the Arabs. It is a message to the Arabs congruent with the message of Judaism and Christianity, the message of Judaism and Christianity being understood as a statement of the unity of God and a progressive interpretation of God's message by a series of prophets, a series of prophets beginning with Abraham, including Moses, Isaiah, Jesus, according to Islam, and Mohammed. Mohammed is then in the line of prophets. The degree to which this means that Islam takes on its own identity is hard to say. And the tendency of scholars outside of the Islamic tradition, that is people like Berkey, is to say it takes quite a while. Takes quite a while

extensive network of Presbyterian sympathizers amongst the clergy and the laity throughout the kingdom. And that network was activated in 1584 and 1586 to try to introduce further bills into Parliament calling for a Presbyterian system and the revision of the prayer book. These attempts were again scotched by royal councilors sitting in Parliament. In 1586, for example, Parliament itself sent both the promoter of the bill and those who defended it in Parliament to the Tower of London briefly to cool their heels. The Presbyterians had failed again. But the exasperation and the frustration that they felt was vividly expressed in 1588 to '89 in the secret publication of a number of extremely scurrilous attacks upon the bishops of the Church of England. These were known as the Marprelate Tracts. They were directed against bishops, prelates; the Marprelate Tracts. The Archbishop of Canterbury instigated an investigation to discover the secret press that was producing them, and in the course of that John Field'sPuritan network was uncovered and the movement was essentially smashed. Meanwhile, as the 1580s drew to a close, some of the leaders of Puritanism were dying away. John Field died in 1588. Some of his sympathizers in the Royal Council, the Duke of Leicester, Sir Francis Walsingham, Sir Walter Mildmay all died in 1589 or 1590. Puritanism as a political movement was over for the time being but it left three legacies. First of all, there were small groups of Puritan extremists who were so disillusioned that they broke from the Church of England altogether and formed separatist congregations meeting in secret. One of their leaders said that they had decided they would have "reformation without tarrying for any." They wouldn't tarry for the magistrate; they would have reformation without tarrying for any. Some of them were eventually forced to flee abroad. The group led by Robert Browne based in the city of Norwich removed themselves to the Netherlands to escape potential persecution.

It was enough to startle anyone, es pecially as the woman did not speak, but Just stood silent and watching her through a veil the like of which was not to be found in Shelby, and which in Itself was enough to rouse a decent woman's suspicions. She was so amazed at this that she stepped back and attempted to address the stranger. But before she had got much further than a timid and hesi tating "Madam," the woman, roused Into action possibly by her interfer ence, made a quick gesture suggestive of impatience if not rebuke, and mov ing resolutely towards the gate Miss Weeks had so indiscreetly left un guarded, pushed it open and disap peared within, dragging the little child after her. "And she's in there still?" "I haven't seen her come out." "Then what's the matter with you?" called a burly;high-strung woman, stepping hastily from the group and laying her hand upon the gate still standing temptingly ajar. "It's no time for nonsense," she announced, as she pushed it open and stepped promptly in, followed by the motley group of men and women who, if they lacked courage , to lead, certainly showed willingness to follow. One glance and they felt their cour age rewarded? Rumor, which so often deceives, proved Itself correct in this case. A second gate confronted them exactly like the first, even to the point of being held open by a pebble placed against the post. And a second fence, also! built upon the same pattern 'as the one they had Just passed through; the two forming a double barrier as mysterious to contemplate in fact as it had ever been in fancy.

Or had it been a flicker of laughter to your ears when I still search for the lost part of me in the unending branches of the brown trees and in the bottomless blue ocean for that intimate stranger... for his shadow. A tenderly caressed love Blooms as a precious flower Generous touches, gentle care Sprinkled by a passionate shower Grasp it Cling to it As if dear life depends Treasure it Take care of it Because the time may come when... The leaves fall The blossoms fade The fragrance a lingering scent As the miracle of Spring A prescribed love's bud Spring anew the memories spent Woman, she is A mother of five Man, he is A father of five In a life Of ups and Downs They share- The four walls Of loneliness The woven rug Of love And in the throbbing shadows, Of fear and joy, they are waiting Eagerly, for me, to come out Foundto thumb snapping my fingers the taste is yum oh my the fun chewing my grits like gum skipping enjoying my grits and rum The forsaken heart Is one that cries in pain And alone Even in the light As it is among others. It is dry Without the flowing blood Of another Beating side by side To repeat the Sounding drumbeat. It is devoid of life When deplete of love As that remains The main ingredient For a strong Eternal life. Robin, like last leaf of autumn, clings to a velvet rose. Ah, such a lovely scene, from painted prose of God, the Unseen- of which thru his artwork reminded me of a child holding sweet mama, ‘til he was being breezed away into manhood, by the thrilling wings of her olden days.

the British government as the source of a story that the British government had exaggerated the evidence on WMD. Anyway in 2004, those of us who'd worked on Iraq were invited to testify to the first official inquiry into the war, the Butler Inquiry. And I decided to testify. I wrote a long document explaining my views that the threat from Iraq had been grossly exaggerated by the British government, that the war was illegal according to the resolutions I, myself, had negotiated, and the British government had ignored alternatives to war, which is a complicated story about sanctions and economic restrictions. It's never talked about, because everybody focuses on, did they lie or not? But in fact, it's, in many ways, much more important, because there were peaceful alternatives to undermining Saddam regime. I read papers about them. And I know for a fact that these were not considered before Britain went to war in 2003. Anyway, when I wrote that testimony, I had a crisis. I thought, Iwhich advises countries and political movements all over the world on their diplomacy about them. And so it started with Kosovo. I took the Kosovo prime minister to the UN Security Council, where hitherto he had been prohibited. I told the Kosovars what was really going on in the diplomatic process. I talked to Martti Ahtisaari, the Finnish UN envoy who was dealing with the Kosovo Serbia negotiations to decide the future status of Kosovo. Interestingly, all of them accepted the need for what I was doing. Because they realized it really helped the process for the Kosovo government to understand it. It also helped them push back against the extremists in Kosovo who were saying, oh, this diplomacy is such bullshit. The international community is never going to release us from Serbia's hold, never going to make us independent. We should unilaterally declare independence, which would have been a highly provocative thing, and probably would have led to a resumption of war between Serbia and Kosovo. And of course, the, quote unquote, "international

just two examples. lmk Language course by Anita Baerg Many Bethel students became involved with the Hmong in the Twin Cities area during January when the interim course "Learn-ing Language" opened new opportunities for both the students and the Hmong. Don Larson, professor of linguistics and anthro-pology, originated the idea for three reasons. The first was that although there are over 10,000 Hmong in the Metro area, not many people in the dominant cul-ture know the Hmong lan-guage. "It's a rare domin-gram could be done by themselves. They were en-couraged to use their own initiative and skills in work-ing out pronunciation and grammar exercises. A typical day began with a team of Hmong , meeting with small groups of students for language learning. Another group of Hmong meet with Larson at that time. After all had lunch together, the stu-dents and the Hmong switched roles. A group of volunteers taught the Hmong in the afternoon, and some students con-tinued with language study. Up to 50 Bethel students volunteered to instruct the Hmong on howto adjust to the Twin Cities culture. Topics included repairing Tutoring in math and chemistry by retired uni-versity professor. 332-9087 2001 22nd Ave. S.

"I enjoyed this class be-cause it opened my eyes refugee situation and made me aware of their exper-iences," said Charlene Autey, a student in the class. "I'm also excited about Americans taking the initiative to learn the (Hmong) language." Most people working with the course thought it was a positive step toward helping and learning about the Hmong. "I thought it was an excellent exper-ience," said Autey. The Hmong too benefited from this and showed pos-itive signs of enjoyment, said Larson. The original organiza-tion and funding for the class was done by the bus-iness department under the direction of Kevin Walton.

Arianna concludes that there will be winners and that all products and services are differentiated in a variety of ways, to which I would agree: there are many ways in which a staking provider can enhance and market their offering. The emergence of crypto lending platforms and staking networks enable new types of behaviors for owners of cryptoassets. In his post on the CoinFund blog, Jake Brukhman shines light on the interplay between borrowing and staking cryptoassets. The main takeaways are that staking providers could create ways to earn returns without being exposed to the fiat-denominated volatility of the underlying cryptoasset by staking borrowed assets, and that staking and borrowing rates may

as codified by its founding fathers in New York City. It contains five elements. DJing, MCing, break dancing, graffiti art and the fifth element, which is the one I want to talk about today: Knowledge. An element we don't see so much in the television or the radio, perhaps. But of course the representations of that culture today are not owned by the people who founded that culture. But when it's understood, if we go back to the medieval West-African empires of Mali, Songhai, Gao, ancient Ghana, you have a character that the Malians refer to as a griot. These griots still exist today, well, who was the griot? The griot was a rhythmic, oral poet, singer, musician, custodian of the history, of the spiritual tradition, etc. etc. etc., of those empires, of that culture. When we start to understand how those musical oral cultural traditions manifested in manyan sich und Mathematik, während sie gleichzeitig über das Leben in den Sozialbausiedlungen von New York City sprachen.

mother of a solider who held her daughter in captivity, and through her forgave him, his family and his clan. Later, when this soldier was killed in the conflict, she wept and offered her condolences. She came to speak regularly to other parents of abducted children and urged forgiveness. Angelina's activities were not confined to forgiveness. She and other parents formed the "Concerned Parents Association", which advocated for the girls' release and began to bring international attention to their abduction. Then Kony himself became worried about this international publicity and had one of his minions approach Angelina and offer to release her daughter, if the parents would cease their international advocacy. Angelina refused, saying that she would only cease the publicity if the IRA released all of the girls. Eventually Charlotte was released after spending 7,5 years in captivity. Angelina's approach to violence and injustice echoed that of a group of religious leaders, who amount to one of the world's greatest examples of religious leaders who have exercised leadershipfor peace and reconciliation, known as the Acholi Religious Leaders Peace Initiative, or ARLPI. These leaders bounded together in the mid 1990's to advocate for an end to the war. Their leader was Catholic Archbishop John Baptist Odama, who teamed up with Anglican Bishops as well as the leading Muslim sheik in northern Uganda. The ARLPI was a leading force behind the Amnesty Act of 2000, passed by the Uganda Parliament, a cornerstone in the peace process that enabled thousands of child soldiers to leave the IRA and return home. The ARLPI is a strong opponent of the ICC indictments, which, as it says, have only prevented the IRA leaders from making peace. Several of the ARLPI leaders ventured through the bush on several occasions to meet with Kony. These meetings paved the way for peace negotiations. Towards their people these leaders were tireless advocates of forgiveness and reconciliation of the kind that Angelina practiced. To ease the return of

the exposure of the health violations, the unsanitary conditions, and the treatment of the animals in the meatpacking industry. And it led to a great public outcry, which itself kind of led to some reforms happening, including the Federal Meat Inspection Act. So here, way back in 1906, you have an example of an undercover investigation leading to legislative change. And interestingly, Sinclair said that, his famous quote was that, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach". Actually, I think he did both. He hit them in the stomach and made them care about their own-- the stuff that they were putting in their own bodies, but they also ended up caring really deeply about the animals that were involved in the process. Here's a poll from a couple of years ago by the ASPCA, saying that 94% of Americans agree that animals raised for food on farms deserve to be free from abuse and cruelty. Sadly, ironically, mostby the town's mayor. And so cops were sent out and they, even though she was standing on a public street behind a fence, she still was arrested and charged. Ironically, her actual local state legislator was one the most vocal proponents of the ag-gag law and said time and time again, this is only going to be used for the hardcore animal rights terrorists, it's never going to be misapplied. Here one of his own constituents is the first person hit by it. And here you can see the distance she's filming from. This was a downer cow that is too sick, again, too weak, too sick or weak to walk on its own, so it's being shoved along with a forklift. So the charges ultimately were dismissed against Amy after it was pretty clearly demonstrated that she was on the road and not in fact trespassing.

RAF. The P-47D was primarily employed on long-range ground attack missions, bombing and strafing communications, air fields, bridges, and troop concentrations. (airplane roars) The Gabelschwanz-Teufel, the fork-tailed devil, was a sobriquet not lightly applied by the Luftwaffe to the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, which gave considerable cause to be known to Japanese and Germans alike. Although quantitively the Lightning was produced in smaller numbers than any other major USAAF combat fighter, with a total to August, 1945 of 9,923 delivered from factories, it served on every battlefront in a wide variety of roles ranging from fighter bombing, to casualty evacuation, and smoke laying. If slightly slower and less maneuverable than the more widely used Mustang and Thunderbolt, the Lighting offered the advantage of twin-engine operation, with its additional safety factor added to an excellent combat range. The Lighting was particularly interesting for the number and variety of its innovations. Apart from being Lockheed's first venture into the military field, the Lightning was the first squadron fighter equipped with turboboom configuration to be adopted by the USAAF, and the first twin-engine single-seat fighter used by that air arm. By the spring of 1944, there were 13 P-38 groups in overseas operational service with the USAAF, fighting on every battlefront. In Europe, serving principally with the Tactical Ninth Air Force, the Lightnings operated on long-range fighter escort and ground attack duties. While, in the Pacific, their exceptional range put them in the forefront of the island hopping campaign. The first bomber escort missions to Berlin were mounted by Lightnings, although they were outclassed by the more maneuverable Fw 190s, and later, Bf 109s. In the Pacific, however, Lightnings claimed more Japanese aircraft than did any other fighter. And the leading American fighter ace of World War II, the late Major Richard Bong, scored all 40 of his victories while flying a P-38 in that theater. He was closely followed by another Lightning pilot, McGuire, with 38 Japanese victories. While, in Europe, Jenkins and White

fakes. [GLUGGING] Mhm. Fakes. On December 23rd, in Reno, Nevada, 20-year-old James Vance and 18-year-old Ray Belknap shot themselves in an apparent suicide pact. Vance's parents lawyered up and sued Judas Priest, alleging the boys were told to shoot themselves in a subliminal message in an 8-year-old Priest song, "Better By You, Better Than Me." July 1990, when Vance and Belknap's lawyers finally got Priest in court, the parents were asking for $6.2 million in damages. Lead singer Rob Halford said, if he was ever going to put a subliminal message in his songs, it would be to buy more albums. The judge ultimately decided that the group was not responsible. Turning to true crime, Dian Fossey, one of the foremost primatologists in the world, best known for her study of the mountain gorillas, was found murdered on December 27th in the bedroom of her cabin in Rwanda. Three years later, Fossey's story would hit the screen. Universal Pictures and Warner Brothers present Sigourney Weaver, Bryan Brown, in the true story ofone woman's incredible courage. Finally, on the last day of the year, which would end on a somber note, on his way to headline a big New Year's Eve gig in Texas, Rick Nelson died when his plane crashed in a pasture, less than two miles from a landing strip. Nelson, his girlfriend, and his band died. The two pilots escaped the burning wreckage from their cockpit windows. After a year-long investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that a definite cause of the crash was unknown. Nelson was 45. 1986 was just around the corner, when America would get the need, the need for speed, a human chain would form across the country, and a future media giant's show would make its debut.

Excavations...have revealed the crumbling bones of a mighty race. Samuel Miller, who has resided in the county since 1835, is authority for the statement that one skeleton which he assisted in unearthing was a trifle more than eight feet in length, the skull being correspondingly large, while many other skeletons measured at least seven feet... Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and History of Lake County Edited by Newton Bateman, LL.D. and Paul Selby, A.M. (1902) From the outset of North American archaeology, no federally sponsored concern has researched and collected evidence specifically emphasizing the existence of unusually tall Native Americans in prehistoric, and even in historic times. There are reasons for this oversight, though in hindsight it has placed limits on our overview of prehistory.Because there were only occasional people of large stature born among the light-skinned, European races, numbers of giants were far from anticipated in America. Scientists in Europe, in case-by-case studies, declared their giants to have been victims of pituitary disorder. Another reason was that when the private citizenry in the U.S. unearthed the bones of very tall and strongly constructed people, and when these disinterments were recorded, rarely was any comparison made with sites of similar contents. It was still a sort of wilderness in many rural areas right until the middle 1800s. In this, each discovery was sort of "un iqu There were mounds situated in the eastern part of the village of Conneaut and an extensive burying-ground near the Presbyterian church, which appear to have had no connection with the burying-places of the Indians.

of Massachusetts and the northern parts of North Carolina. That movement of people, movement of slaves, on this scale had never happened in the South, and in the midst of that movement. Linda Morgan wrote a fine book on emancipation in Virginia and she showed this for the first time, that all this movement of hired out slaves to Richmond--and other small ironworks, by the way, over in the Shenandoah Valley--meant a certain percentage of them began to flee, and escape, further north. They worked on railroad crews. It was estimated that in northern Georgia, during Sherman's campaign against Atlanta, that about forty percent of all the women working as nurses in Confederate hospitals all over the state were slave women. That means they'd been taken off their plantations, their farms, or out of their domestic situations, wherever they were, and put to work in the hospitals. So the point is, movement of the armies meant movement of slaves as well, and that moment of freedom, that moment of escape, thatopportunity might come when you would least expect it. And that American slave had to make a choice, every time--do I go and risk everything or do I not? Let me tell one little story amidst that. It's the other half of this book I just did. This young slave named Wallace Turnage. He was born on a little tobacco farm in North Carolina in 1846, Green County, North Carolina, sold by his indebted owner to a Richmond, Virginia slave-trader named Hector Davis, who was one of the largest slave-traders in the United States and kept enormous records. He spent about six months in 1860 working in the three-story slave jail/auction house in Richmond. His job every day was preparing the slaves in what was called the dressing room, to take them out to the auction floor. And one day he's simply told, "Boy, you're in the auction." And he was sold to an Alabama cotton planter named James Chalmers. Seventy-two hours later by train he

Prior to that, on October 24th, we have a talk by Kerry Emanuel who is a climate researcher at MIT. And his particular field of interest is extreme climate events, in particular, driven by rising sea temperatures. And he is the author of a paper describing the emergence of something called a hypercane, which is a super hurricane that forms. So the idea of being with rising sea surface temperatures, we'll have fewer hurricanes, but the ones we do are more severe, as a result. So you may want to tune in for that.

occurred at a New Jersey university during a three-year period. During the first outbreak in 2016, MenB-FHbp vaccination was recommended for all undergraduates. In the most recent outbreak reported in February 2019, MenB vaccination was again recommended to all undergraduates, and for the first time, booster vaccination was also recommended for students who completed a primary series at least one year previously. Thus, college students are the primary group at increased risk for serogroup B outbreaks who may have received a MenB primary series as healthy adolescents. Current MenB vaccination coverage among adolescents is low with approximately 15% of 17-year-olds receiving at least one dose in 2017, though coverage has steadily increased since licensure. Additionally, several serogroup B cases have been reported in patients who received MenB vaccination. Of the five reported cases to date, with any MenB vaccine, three were fully vaccinated with MenB-4C, one was partially vaccinated with MenB-4C, and one was partially vaccinated with MenB-FHbp. Among those fully vaccinated with MenB-4C, two had known underlying conditions that may have increased their risk fora different color, have been conducted to assess immunogenicity and persistence to each of the four vaccine antigens shown in the different panels through seven and a half years post-primary series. Persistence following a MenB-4C primary series was difficult to generalize due to the elevated baseline titers in two studies, heterogenous results by vaccine antigens, different time points assessed in different studies and more limited persistence data for NHBA which contributes most to strain coverage in the United States. In light of this, the work group's interpretation is that antibodies wane by two years following the primary series in healthy adolescents and adults, though they may wane earlier. In addition, persistence of MenB primary vaccination against diverse serogroup B strains, including from college outbreaks, has been assessed in several observational studies. Variable patterns of short-term persistence were observed when measured up to 12 months post-vaccination. In another recent study to assess seroprevalence at Princeton University following the 2013 outbreak, suboptimal short-term immunogenicity followed by substantial antibody waning to the outbreak strain was observed in students vaccinated with MenB-4C.

While flood waters from the rainstorm which has held southern California in its grip for almost four days were reced ing today in districts near the moun tains, thee rest of the flood had not reached the lowlands along the coast and it was feared these sections would be further inundated. Telephone, telegraph and railroad service still was demoralized. Trans continental traffic was practically at a standstill.

regime's official discourses, giving voice literally to the protesting crowds potentiality. Now, at first it was widely thought that the singer of the song had been one Ibrahim Qashoush who worked at a fire station in Hama and supposedly occasionally performed with another local, Abdul Rahman Forhood or, as he was more popularly known, Rahmani. And, I should say, Hama, is the fourth largest city in Syria. And this is a picture of what the largest uprising, actually-- crowds, in uprising terms-- proportionately, anyway. On July 4, 2011, Qashoush reportedly turned up dead, his corpse left on the riverbank with its larynx carved out. Now, many understandably interpreted the murder as an act of crude symbolism, presumed at the time to be the work of regime thugs bent on punishing the subversive singer in the most graphic way possible. In these assumptions people were probably wrong. First of all the singer of the song was likely Rahmani, not Qashoush. And Qashoush, far from being a subversive singer, may havebeen a police informant. Many offered homage to the departed, if wrongly honored, Qashoush. Yet, in likely being mistaken about who Qashoush was and the role he played in the events in question, many on Facebook posts and creatives songs and videos made after his death ended up paying tribute to a possible informant whose body it may or may not have been that was found missing its larynx by the side of the river. Moreover, when Qashoush turned out to be suspected of traitorous complicity, whether responsibility for the mutilated corpse lay with regime thugs became doubtful-- at least to some. Stories then quickly emerged about vigilante activists having executed Qashoush, or someone else, for collaboration. Finally, as if scripted, sightings of Qashoush surfaced in 2013 accompanied by articles and Facebook photos attesting to his continued well-being in exile, culminating in a GQ article-- Gentlemen's Quarterly-- article of 2016. This piece reported a few days later in Arabic-- so, first in English, then in Arabic-- claimed to break the story that the real singer

the godly laity, and in areas of--some areas of--the country they were extremely influential in influencing the whole tone of local religious life. East Anglia was a great area of Puritan strength. There were eight of these prophesying meetings in the county of Suffolk in the middle of East Anglia and in the county of Essex, just to the south, there were six of them operating by the early 1570s. But after 1570 Puritanism also began to acquire something of a political edge. Specifically, that came in the form of a movement to try to formally alter the structures of the Church of England and to purge the prayer book of what they saw as traditional papist survivals. Those who became involved in it were convinced that the New Testament laid down a clear model of church government, that it did not involve bishops, that it should be based upon autonomous congregations who elected their own ministers and elders, who wouldin turn meet together at the higher level in councils and synods to govern the church as a whole. In other words, a Presbyterian system of church government. This is what they desired, and advocates of such a system were to mount a series of challenges to the Elizabethan settlement between 1570 and 1587. And there were a number of landmarks in that process. In 1570, for example, the professor of divinity at the University of Cambridge, Thomas Cartwright, gave a series of lectures in the university in which he argued that the English church failed to follow the model of the New Testament and advocated a Presbyterian system. There was a tremendous controversy in the university as a result. Cartwright in fact lost his job. He was quickly picked up by one of Elizabeth's favorites, the Earl of Leicester, who sympathized with the Puritans, and placed in a living elsewhere. So he survived, but he lost his position at

the rise during the 1930s, perhaps solutions could be found and imposed. There was little thought that Aboriginal people themselves had already found the only possible answer. Reading from a typical newspaper column published just a few months before the expedition departed, and I quote, "half-caste problem, should they merge with whites?" That was the subheading. And, "with official statistics revealing a gradual decline of the Aboriginal population and an increase of so-called half-caste Aboriginals, the Protection Authorities today" and this is the quote, "agreed with one exception that the half-caste population must merge with the white. Queensland delegates disagreed and made the suggestion that a native community should develop on self-supporting lines with the aid of a government grant." So you have this division, this debate, which is ongoing in Australia during the 1930s, and is going to lead to a shift in policy. Along come Tindale and Birdsell, feeding into this debate. While they each had their own private research agenda, there's little doubt that the expedition was sanctioned and supported inAustralia partly because their insights were germane to this so-called half-caste problem. Not surprisingly, the surrounding discourse was replete with racial epithets, half-caste, quadroon, octoroon, and both Tindale and Birdsell's journals are full of these epithets. Birdsell's much more so because it was the currency of his scientific work at the time. They were terms of art, necessary, in his view-- although he didn't use them much after the Second World War-- for understanding the basis of the so-called problem. Before the advent of DNA, he was employing the full repertoire of racial science to determine which particular trace had made their way from Europeans to the mixed heritage descendants of what he called the first cross, the initial cross. His principal task, in a way, was to determine whether this mixing would result necessarily in any form of degeneration. Seems extraordinary to us today, but it was the nature of the discourse. It's clear enough that the answer was no, and that both Tindale and Birdsell saw reason for great

a familiar sight to people living on Britain's east coast during the early years of the war. The Whitley was the mainstay of the RAF bomber force for the first two years in which the seeds of strategic night bombing were being sewn. Although one of the least appealing bombers of the war, the Whitley did represent an important landmark in the history of the RAF's offensive capability. Few, if any bombers of the second World War, enjoyed a longer or more distinguished operational career than the Vicker's Wellington. Bloodied in combat at the very outset of hostilities, it carried the lion's share of RAF bomber commands, night bombing offensive until the operational debut of the four engine heavies and it was still in the front line when the war ended. (dramatic music) Indeed, such was the brilliant battle record of the Wellington that any tribute can be but a pale reflection of the distinctions that this remarkable war plane won for itself. The Wellington'sdocility combined with a lively performance and the ability to absorb an outstanding amount of battle damage, rapidly endeared it to its crews and its portly well fed appearance engendered the nickname Wimpy, after the strip cartoon character. (dramatic music) More than any other bomber, the Wellington proved a power operated gun carry to be a formidable defensive weapon, but it disproved the widely held belief that large bombers could undertake daylight bombing rates against heavily defended targets without fighter escort. (dramatic music) Like most successful combat aircraft, the Wellington was a result of teamwork, but it undoubtedly owed its success to the revolutionary geodetic or basket weave system of construction. This was an ingenious idea by Boms Wallace and even more remarkable because of its essential simplicity. Before the end of 1939, the Wellington was to achieve one doubtful distinction. It was to teach the RAF the hard lesson that the operation of such large aircraft by daylight without fighter escort was impractical. This lesson was

brilliant political strategist and a lot of people during his lifetime and after praised his good judgment. He had--That's always the word they used: He had good judgment. He was someone who could survey the opinions of lots of people, ask all of his advisers for advice. They often, more often than not, had conflicting advice. He would take it under advisement. He'd consider things for himself. He'd come to a conclusion and he'd act on it in a way that everyone always thought was calm, considered, thoughtful. He was someone who had good judgment and didn't act impulsively. So one reason for the phenomenon of Washington, as I'll talk about in a moment here, has to do with his self-presentation and concrete skills in presenting himself as a leader. The second way in which he earned his reputation has to do really with the simple fact that he's the right person with the right talents, at the right place, at the right time. for your country and you get to be famous. They both happen sort of at the same time, so it's sort of selfless and self-interested at the same time. So Washington also, like many people in this era, is the right person with the right talents at the right time, but he has very specific talents that are really well suited to this moment in time. And then finally, the third reason for the Washington phenomenon is kind of a combination of the previous two, and that's basically the idea that during the prime years of Washington's life, Americans lost a king and needed some other figure of central importance to fill this vacuum of national leadership, some other leader who they could honor as sort of the symbolic core of their new nation. And Washington, because of who he was, because of who he presented himself as being, because of what he did, because of the ways in which he tried

to wide ranging new materials excavated from primary sources. Over the past four or five years, Therese O'Malley and her team have been transforming this printed volume into an expanded and expanding database that will reside on the Gallery's server, providing connections to over 2,000 images and making it possible for comparative cross-referencing for researchers, students, and designers alike. Images and texts come from dozens of repositories, including our own collections. And this is just one wonderful comparison of the documentation of Mount Vernon, which is included in the website on the left and the image of Mount Vernon here at the National Gallery. And it also brings to mind new ways of thinking about paintings in the Gallery's collection. This will all be accessible to the public through HEALDD, which is the History of the Early American Landscape Design Database, very soon, later, I think, this year. Associate Dean Peter Lukehart began his work on artist academies long ago, editing the volume on "The Artist's Workshop" in 1993 for CASVA. When Peterreturned to the Gallery to supervise the fellowship program, after several years directing the Trout Art Gallery at Dickinson College, he picked up his project on the Accademia di San Luca, the academy for artists that was founded in Rome in 1593. The academy aimed to make the difficult apprenticeship suffered by Taddeo Zuccaro-- and here you see him in various spots in Rome, unsupervised, desperately trying to copy great works of art sometimes even by moonlight. They hoped to make this difficult apprenticeship as illustrated by his brother Federico less haphazard. In the first instance Peter Lukehart organized a series of seminars to investigate the early history of the academy, and these were published as "The Accademia Seminars" in 2009. He has been a pioneer in digital art history, constructing a database over the past two decades, putting newly discovered documents online, and in the end, linking the names of artists, dates, and places to works of art in the Gallery's collection and to works from the

later to receive in the West. Despite some crudity of construction and equipment, by Western standards appertaining at the time, it was a rugged and extremely maneuverable fighter, appreciably faster than any true contemporary, easily maintained in the field, and offering some armor protection for its pilot, at a time when such luxuries were not generally considered to be necessary. Its designer never succeeded in overcoming the poor takeoff and landing characteristics that had plagued it from its birth. Yet, once its undercarriage was tucked up, it handled pleasantly enough. And there is no doubt that it taught the Soviet air forces and aircraft industry much that was eventually used to good effect in the later fighters. The I-16 was the precursor of a new style in fighter design, a style favored until the advent of the turbojet, and as such, it possesses a unique place in the history of fighter development. (airplane drones) Italy had two first-generation fighters in the war, theFiat G.50 being one of them. This aircraft was slower than most of the fighters it faced in combat, but in the hands of experienced pilots, gave a good show of itself. Most early World War II Italian fighter pilots rejected the use of enclosed cockpits in favor of the topless canopy with side windows, considering the use of the former to be unsporting and unmanly. Though smaller in size than most of its contemporaries, and despite its lack of power, the Fiat G.50 was reckoned by most to be a dream to fly and a joy to maneuver. (airplane buzzes) The development of the Macchi Castoldi fighter, the second of Italy's first-generation fighters, presents an interesting parallel with that of the Supermarine Spitfire. Neither of these fighters was the logical outcome of a line of fighting aircraft, both designers drawing heavily upon high-speed design experience gained with racing seaplanes.

be the best single-seat fighter of any nation to emerge from that conflict. Despite its formidable quality, however, and the fact that it was expressly designed for shipboard operations, the Corsair spent most of its wartime career confined to land bases. And it was not until the end of 1944 that it made its first operational sorties from American carriers in the Pacific. (airplanes roar) But the same problems which kept it from the United States Navy's carrier decks for two years after its introduction to operational service provided it with the opportunity to prove its superiority. Operating from airstrips on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, the United States Marines forged the Corsair into an air supremacy weapon, meeting the Japanese navy's Zero Zen fighters on more than equal terms the first time in the Pacific conflict, smashing them into the sea and the jungle alike, and helping turning the tide of air combat permanently in favor of the Allied forces. (airplane rumbles) A total of1,912 F4Us had been built by V-J Day, which reduced contracts of this version of the Corsair from 3,149 to 2,356 machines. But another 7 1/2 years were to elapse before the last example of this outstanding chance-bought fighter was to roll off the new Dallas production line. (airplane rumbles) The Corsair was to enjoy a distinguished postwar career, the highlight of which was the Korean campaign, its first line of service stretching into the '60s. (airplanes rumble) During its long life, the Corsair underwent 981 major modifications and some 20,000 minor changes. But the airframe remained basically unaltered throughout, and such were its qualities that it was destined to gain the distinction of being the last airscrew-driven fighter built in the United States, having outlived all its contemporaries, both land and carrier-based. (airplanes roar) When, in January 1943, the USAAF's 56th Fighter Group arrived in the United Kingdom, with its massive Republic P-47 Thunderbolts, RAF fighter pilots banteringly suggested that their American colleagues will be able to

from his knowledge of Jungian analysis. The surrealist interest in the unconscious attracted him as well. And he was certainly familiar with their embrace of automatism or yielding control of the making process to let the unconscious mind hold sway. So it wasn't like Pollock's drip paintings came out of nowhere. Others were doing it too. Arshile Gorky dripped in 1944. Hans Hoffman did around the same time. And Pollock was trying it out in his paintings as well. But his first big break came in 1942 with this kind of work, which was selected for a show at Peggy Guggenheim's gallery, Art of this Century, having been judged by the likes of Piet Mondrian who, having fled Europe during World War II, claimed this was the most interesting work he'd seen in America so far. Pollock's first solo show garnered much attention. His pictures described as archaic, tribal, and of elemental power. Curator James Johnson Sweeney described his talent as volcanic. It has fire. It is unpredictable. It isundisciplined. What we need is more young men who paint from inner impulsion. Guggenheim also commissioned this new talent to create a mural for her New York townhouse. And he produced an epic 19-foot long canvas that cemented his rising star status and gave a glimpse of the rhythmic forms and loose brushwork that would follow. Pollock's other 1942 break was meeting painter Lee Krasner. They married in '45 and moved out to Long Island near East Hampton where they set up studios-- hers in the house and his in the barn. Pollock continued to begin his paintings with totemic and mythological subjects but painted over them with layers so thick that the original forms were mostly indistinguishable. By '47, Pollock was spreading his canvases on the floor. Sometimes his initial layer involved brushwork, but successive layers were built up with poured, dripped, and scattered paint, artist oils, enamel house paint, and aluminum radiator paint. He used sticks, trowels, and palette knives. Sometimes string, sand, or nails entered the mix. Narrative content began to

Burns Suppers have been part of Scottish culture for about 200 years as a means of commemorating the birth of Robert Burns. Burns Suppers range from ostentatiously formal gatherings of aesthetes and scholars to uproariously informal raveups of drunkards and louts. Most Burns Suppers fall in the middle of this range, and adhere, more or less, to some sort of time honoured form which includes the eating of a traditional Scottish meal, the drinking of Scotch whisky, and the recitation of works by, about, and in the spirit of the Bard! And when Burns immortalised haggis in verse he created a central link that is maintained to this day. BIOGRAPHY Robert Burns was born at Alloway, near Ayr, on 25 January 1759. His father William was a gardener to the Provost of Ayr. Robert was educated briefly at John Murdoch’s school
