Bohuslav MARTINŮ (1890-1959)
Songs - Volume 3
sung in Czech
*World première recordings
Jana Hrochová Wallingerová (mezzo), Giorgio Koukl (piano)
rec. Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, Switzerland, 17 June, 2014
NAXOS 8.573387 [65:14]
Despite songs forming a large part of Martinů's output there has been little attention paid to them by record companies. This explains why 18 of those on this disc are world première recordings. Once again it is hats off to Naxos for giving them the exposure they richly deserve. Thanks are also due in no small way to pianist Giorgio Koukl whose dedication to Martinů's music has led to so many recordings, including his entire solo piano music (Volume 4 and links to earlier volumes ~ Volume 5 ~ Volumes 6 & 7) and the piano concertos (1, 2 & 4 ~ 3 & 5) and three volumes of songs (see review of Volume 1). Koukl is one of the world's greatest interpreters of the composer's music which is further demonstrated with this recording. Jana Hrochová Wallingerová's voice is absolutely right for this repertoire with her perfect diction. She also has the ability to impart the happy and joyful elements prevalent in so many of these songs as well as the sad and reflective. The first two collections, songs on one and two pages, are cycles to folk texts and are attractively set to folk like tunes for which Martinů had such a good ear. Niponari is a cycle that takes us far from the Bohemian, Moravian and Slovak origins of the first two cycles; these draw their inspiration from folk-songs by Japanese lyric poets. This cycle is a significant one from early in Martinů's output having been written when the composer was only 22 in 1912. Richard Whitehouse in his liner-notes says that there is not much evidence in these songs of a personal idiom though for me Martinů's unique voice is emerging even then. It makes him one of those composers whom I find very easy to identify. These songs are all very serious in their subject matter and seem to incorporate the elements that we often associate with Japan where life and its meaning are reflected upon perhaps rather more deeply than in the 'West'.
With Two songs to Negro Folk Poems we are as far from Japan as Japan is from Central Europe. They show Martinů's 'concern to reflect contemporary issues' as Richard Whitehouse puts it. These songs, written twenty years after those they follow take issues that sadly still concern the USA's black citizens. With Lullaby we have a mother assuring her little son that the colour of his skin matters not to God even though it may to some on earth and He will love him anyway. Longing has a distinctive jazzy, bluesy syncopation which many composers in Europe were incorporating into their music in the 1930s and which is obviously totally appropriate here.
The remaining songs, like the previous eight are all world première recordings and give us a clear indication of how Martinů's song-writing developed in the early years of the twentieth century and how important they were to a young man in his early twenties. They show someone who knew exactly where he was going musically even at such an early age. Oh, speak ponders the dying of the soul while the body ages, in the fatalistic way that reminds us of some of the Japanese songs that went before. Blue eyes takes a much more optimistic view of life. For the most part these songs express the confidence of youth that has not yet had to contend with problems either of the heart or of life itself. Song about Hanička is a nice folksy one and makes a perfect way to round the disc off.
These songs are a delight and will be welcomed by all fans of Martinů. If there are people out there who are still to be convinced of his worth then this is a good place to start for they are charming as well as serious. They bear the composer's distinctive voice which, for his legions of supporters, makes him a giant of twentieth century music.

Fashionista in the making wearing one of our blouses.
Summer is full blown now and there's ne'r a dull moment. Antigonish and Aphrodite have been abuzz with activity. Our vibrant Main Street is enhanced by the Art in the Park event every second Friday. The spirit is contagious as the artists and chefs bring out their best for this festive occasion. The first one just happened. Don't miss this upcoming Friday's event during Highland Games week. Another great day trip is to the Old Barn Gallery at Beaver Dam in Pomquet. Carol Rivoire has just reopened it for the summer. http://www.oldbarngallery.ca/ and is now creating her own paintings!
The Antigonish Visitor Information Centre hosted a fabulous fundraiser at Gabrieaus Bistro this past week. Marc demonstrated his culinary genius with an exquisite five course meal, each one paired with a brilliant wine from Luckett Vineyards in the Valley. We were regaled with stories by the very funny Pete Luckett of Pete's Frootique fame and his lovely daughter (and clone) Sophie. I had the good fortune to share our table with the proprietors of Steinhart Distillery – another jewel in the crown of Antigonish County. They officially opened this year and are a must visit destination in Arisaig. https://steinhartdistillery.com We plan to do an event with them soon.
In between there were moments at Aphrodite that I had to share – like the one with little Claire who insisted on trying on clothes with her mother. From fledgling style to advanced style we see Nellie in her great new party outfit – note; even her pedicure matches her dress. Very cool!
Check out Karen Goldsberry whose fashion sense is inspired by her pet peacock. Seriously. Karen is one of the great wait staff at the Townhouse – just about the best pub anywhere with craft beer and organic food. You will identify her by her signature long feather earrings that she also makes. They can be found at Aphrodite.
This week we are deep in preparation for the Antigonish Street Festival coming up Thursday, July 9 from 10 am to 4 pm. Aphrodite will be bringing out the dogs again at our annual Dog and Bone Fashion Show at 2 pm. More on this tomorrow. Mark your calendars!
Now enjoy some images of the recent Goings On….
This looks so KOOL! Can't wait to see it all for myself.

I don't understand what are media queries in CSS grid system. Are media queries specific instructions or just a concept? I can't do the exercice because I don't understand what is asked from me.
User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0.
The basic idea is the layout needs to be different depending on the screen size and media queries allow us to do this. Have a play with the width of the webpage view (i.e the right part of the challenge page) and see how the content changes with and without the media queries in place.
I hope this clarifies it, but if you get stuck, come back and I'll try to help.
I have to use grid-template-rows and grid-template-columns in the container?
//when the viewport width is 300px or more, the number of columns changes from 1 to 2.
//The advertisement area then occupies the left column completely.
A query itself is just a request for information. For example, a database query requests information from the database based on a specific set of parameters. A media query takes the parameters that you specify (i.e. screen, min/max screen-width, etc.) and applies the CSS when those conditions apply.
the CSS inside of that query will apply as soon as the screen is any size less than 401px. In this case, any h1 text will be purple. Once you view the page on a larger screen, say 405px, the text will revert back to the original color that you specified outside of the query (or the default color if one was not specified).
You can modify pretty much anything. You just have to say what you want the page to look like at that particular size and add your CSS accordingly.
Ok I understand better now but I don't know what to code inside grid-template-columns property in this exercice…How can I determine that I am placing the header and footer at the top, for example given their name in grid-template-areas??
I managed to make it work! It was so simple! All I had to do was rearrange the grid-template-areas content and it worked.
Initially I was looking to code wome properties with grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows, but I missed the point.
Now I got it.It's a visual represnetation of how celles are arranged (a map). Got it.
On to the next exercice and thank you!
Excellent work getting it all sorted.
That's the beauty of coding - if you just keep at it, eventually you will figure it out. It just takes practice, but over time it gets a lot easier.
I read in many forums and on Internet people say that with time coding gets more complex and harsh as you dig in, and that coding in general is tough.You say that it gets easier with time…So what is the truth, or is really subjective?
But, you are the only person who has your answer.
It's all in the art of finding what will work to give you the results you are looking for. If you enjoy the challenge, then it gets easier, if you don't as you dig in I think it could get harder.
It's all up to you, nobody else.
Hi there! If anybody is struggling with understanding this exercise I recommend watching this video from Rachel Andrew in which the concept of grid-template-areas is explained in 4 minutes.
I've read and re-read this entire thread, and there is still one thing I'm not understanding. I've passed the exercise by simply changing grid-template-areas to "header header" and "footer footer". But, I'm more interested in learning best practices, not necessarily just the thing that will get me to pass this challenge. Would it be best practice to also make changes to grid-template-column and grid-template-row properties? The example code (pasted below) seems to imply that something needs to be done with those. However, it doesn't appear to be a requirement to pass the exercise.
That challenge was just a very brief intro to grid. If you're feeling there's more than just that then you are correct.
A transition from 17" monitor to tablet size might just require that you reallocate the space on your existing grid as in the example.
Usually at very small screen sizes, yes, you would likely re-dimension the rows and columns probably to stack vertically one atop the other and maybe hide some less important content in a drop down menu.
Now that gigantic monitor screens are becoming the norm you also have to consider that your content may become too wide on some desktops so you might need a provision for a wider margin or more columns.
You might benefit from playing around with making mock templates from scratch that rearrange to look good at different screen sizes. I use CodePen for this since many examples are already on CodePen I can just fork them.
Thanks man. This helped me understand it better too and also get past the challenge.
Thank you! This helps, and I appreciate your clarification. I'll take a look at the pens you recommended.
Whao, i have been stuck here as well. Thanks for the solution.
Thank you , everyone. I was having issues with this and I get it now. I was way overthinking it.

Why Choose Us – DWI Long Island and NYC
DWI Long Island and NYC – The attorneys you choose makes all the difference. DWI (Driving While Intoxicated), DUI (Driving Under the Influence), and DWAI (Driving While Impaired) are treated most seriously by prosecutors and judges. Each of these charges carries potentially harsh penalties with collateral consequences.
It is critical to choose attorneys who can effectively navigate this complex area of criminal law, and who will identify and strenuously press every advantage to secure the best possible outcome of your case. Stein & Stein has fought for and secured favorable dispositions for countless clients charged with DWI, DUI, and DWAI. Put our knowledge and experience to work for you.
We guarantee that we will provide the expertise you deserve to bring about the most favorable decisions allowed by the judicial system. You can read first hand why past clients have chosen us.
Check out Stein & Stein Law Firm on Yelp
Offenses involving drinking and driving are vigorously prosecuted on Long Island and in New York City, and the applicable penalties are harsh.
An individual charged with DWI / DUI / DWAI is vulnerable to the following: For detailed explanations >
Permanent Criminal Record
High fines and surcharges
Suspension/Revocation of Driving Privileges
Vehicle Forfeiture
Mandatory Substance Abuse Treatment
If an individual is charged with DWI, DUI, DWAI, the law allows the government to seek seizure of his/her motor vehicle. Different counties handle vehicle forfeiture quite differently.
If one is charged with DWI/DUI in Suffolk County, Long Island, the County's policy is to commence forfeiture proceedings when the individual has previously been arrested for a drinking-driving offense.
Nassau County frequently pursues forfeiture from first offenders, and may do so even if one is only charged with the traffic infraction of Driving While Impaired (DWAI).
New York City, by contrast, will make a case by case assessment, taking into account factors such as the extent of the defendant's alleged intoxication and prior criminal history. Frighteningly, the forfeiture action may begin shortly after arrest and well before the criminal case has been resolved.
SUSPENSION OF DRIVING PRIVILEGES PENDING PROSECUTION
Stein & Stein has secured hardship licenses for countless clients, which has allowed those clients to keep precious jobs which otherwise would surely have been lost.
The law permits judges to immediately suspend the driving privileges of an individual who has been charged with DWI/DUI. Moreover, even an otherwise eligible motorist is incapable of obtaining a conditional license from the Department of Motor Vehicles until 30 days after the charged incident. Therefore, even someone who is ultimately determined in court to be innocent may suffer for weeks without a driver's license while the prosecution is pending.
For working individuals, or those who need a car to get to school, college or regular doctors' appointments, this consequence can be absolutely devastating. In order to alleviate this consequence, an experienced attorney will request a hardship hearing on his client's behalf as soon as the license suspension is imposed. At the hardship hearing, the attorney will introduce evidence of the client's need to work, attend school or doctors' appointments, and demonstrate the lack of feasible transportation alternatives.
If successful, the court will grant the client a hardship license which allows the client to legally drive back and forth to work, school and/or the doctor.
Stein & Stein has represented countless clients at Refusal Hearings, often securing reinstatement of the clients' driving privileges.
Motorists are required by law to submit to a chemical test to determine their blood-alcohol content (BAC). A refusal to submit to a validly requested chemical test subjects an individual to a one-year revocation of his/her driving privileges, even if that individual is subsequently found "not-guilty" of DWI. An individual who is alleged to have refused to have submitted to a chemical test is entitled to a Refusal Hearing at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
An experienced attorney will represent his/her client at the Refusal Hearing, challenging evidence and cross-examining the arresting officer in an effort to invalidate the refusal based upon tried and true impeachment techniques. Even if the refusal is ultimately deemed valid by DMV, the experienced attorney will nevertheless have garnered information and established facts which will benefit the client in the criminal proceeding. For these reasons, it is essential to choose a knowledgeable, experienced, aggressive attorney.
We thoroughly investigate and research the legal obstacles our clients face to ensure that our client's rights are protected and enforced.
In striving to overcome the barriers you face, we do not lose sight of the fact that you require personal, individualized attention. We take the time to explain relevant law and procedure and carefully detail each legal option available to you.
Bilingual services available: staff members versed in English, Filipino and Hindi; translators will be provided for additional languages
Your dignity and unalienable right to make informed decisions at each stage of the case is our paramount concern. In short, we are committed to providing experienced, forceful advocacy, as well as knowledgeable, comprehensive advice. We are dedicated to your empowerment.

2) Leave a mowing strip of 100-150mm where the lawn will meet walls, fences etc. Grade the soil after cultivation 25mm above adjacent paths and paved areas.
3) Clear site of builders rubble, foundations, debris and any solid structures.
5) Cultivate topsoil by spade or by powered cultivator to produce an evenly cultivated soil depth of at least 150-200mm.
6) Grade the topsoil with a hand rake or power-rake to produce as even a surface as possible.
7) Incorporate any drainage system or irrigation system at this stage, taking care not to mix sub-soil and topsoil together.
8) Incorporate ameliorants ( Soil Improvers such as Washed horticultural grade sands or grit/sands for improved drainage or finely graded organic soil improvers for moisture retention)) at this stage. Ensure that any ameliorants are evenly mixed into the topsoil to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
9) Regrade the soil by hand rake to finished levels and consolidate (firm the soil by treading or roller) sufficiently to remove any voids and to avoid later settlement.
10) Apply fertiliser (e.g. Growmore) with a plant food ratio of 2Nitrogen: 3Phosphate: 2Potash, evenly and at the manufacturers recommended settings, using a fertiliser distributor.
11) Sowing times will depend on whether irrigation is available. Without irrigation, sow in the spring from late March to early May and autumn sowings from mid August to mid September. If irrigation is available sow throughout the growing season.
12) Take care to sow the seed evenly at the rate indicated by the supplier. Generally a rate of 50 gms/m2 will produce excellent results, but a lower rate of 35gms/m2 may be applied where perfect conditions of warm soils, good soil moisture, availability of irrigation and accurate seed application are guaranteed.
13) Rake the seed in lightly with a spring tined rake and firm the seed into close contact with the soil to ensure good moisture uptake, by treading or preferably by rolling.
14) Irrigate the surface with a fine spray to avoid disturbing the seed or the soil. Keep well watered.
15) Germination time will vary depending on several factors but generally the various seeds in the mixture will take around 5 – 28 days for complete germination. Not only will the new grass grow, but so will any broad-leaved and grass weed seed present in the soil.
16) Once leaf blade growth reaches 35-45mm, roll the surface of the lawn to anchor the roots of the new shoots (they are easily pulled out of the soil) and to press any stones back into the soil, mow the lawn with a very sharp bladed mower set to remove no more than 25% of the leaf blade length, remove the mowings whilst cutting ( a rotary mower is ideal).
17) During the first 12 months of establishment do not mow any closer than 25mm.
18) If the lawn was spring sown, growth will be vigorous. Mow at least twice a week, taking care to maintain the same mowing height.
19) During prolonged dry periods, growth will slow down and the mowing may only be required once a week, but be sure to maintain the watering during this first year of lawn establishment. Apply a High nitrogen spring/summer fertiliser after 4-6 weeks from germination to maintain growth and plant development.
21) After the first 12 months of lawn establishment, a closer mowing regime may be commenced (provided the mixture mowing guidelines allow it – some grasses will die out if mown too close). Remember, the density of the grasses in the lawn will be improved by increasing the frequency of mowing. A lax mowing frequency will produce a lawn where the soil can be seen between the grasses and in these gaps weeds and moss will grow.
22) If it is unavoidable that the lawn is left to grow without mowing (such as holiday periods or terrible weather), make sure that you do not cut back the lawn to its original maintained height of cut in one pass as this will seriously damage the lawn. Reduce the height of cut gradually over a period until the original height of cut is achieved – you may well still lose some sward density, but you will not permanently damage the lawn.


Agharkar Research Institute (ARI) established in 1946 under the auspices of Maharashtra Association for the Cultivation of Science (MACS) has developed and sustained high level expertise in mycology and plant pathology. Reputed mycologists of yesteryears have pioneered extensive studies on Indian fungi for over 60 years, which has received national and international recognition.
Fungal resources of India are huge, and mycologists have been working on fungi since the turn of last century and numerous novel and interesting forms have been described and reported from India which accommodates one of the largest biodiversity gene pools of the world. Application of fungi for biotechnological processes necessitates long term conservation of pure culture of wild strains, mutants and recombinants ensuring morphological and genetic stability. We wish to appeal to the community of research personnel involved in fungal biology and biotechnology in our country to deposit their valuable germplasm of fungi in this collection. We strive to conserve them under appropriate optimal conditions, and such deposits would contribute to the heritage of germplasm for future biological and biotechnological research in our country.
Department of Science and Technology (DST) Government of India has established a National Facility for Culture Collection of Fungi for Indian fungal germplasm collection, identification and conservation as a fitting recognition of established expertise in fungal biology at ARI.
The scientists of DST-National Facility are currently involved in research programmes related to diversity, systematic and bio-prospecting of fungi. The laboratory is well equipped with modern facilities and the research staff well trained in mycological research and in-vitro conservation of fungi.


What's stopping a flood of laborers from being sent out from college campuses?
The last post addressed Parents. This post will deal with half of the money issue – how support raising prevents graduates from being sent. The next post will deal with how educational debt chokes sending (is it OK if I cheat a little and split money into two posts??).
If the world's greatest need is laborers, one of the biggest obstacles is raising support. There are tens of thousands of college grads who want to do full time ministry but, upon learning that you have to raise support, bail out.
In general, the main issue to press is – "if the cause is worthy, the cost is irrelevant".
Staff need to model what a life on full time support looks like.
Have students in your home. To see how you live. To see your family. To visualize what their life can look like.
Students need to see this is a viable career option. You can provide for a family on staff. You can save for retirement. You can give generously (that's one reason we always encourage students to send us support letters for Summer Missions).
Teach the principles of living a simple and modest lifestyle. Whether you go into full time ministry or not you should live simply and give generously because it's God's money, not yours. Take a discipleship appointment and listen to and discuss Roger Hershey's phenomenal talk on the subject.
Make it clear that we provide incredible training and coaching on how to raise support. In our region with Cru, the success rate for interns getting fully supported is nearly 100% (for those who work at it full time). We can fairly confidently say – if you work at it, God will provide 100% of your support.
Share with students stories of God providing financially.
Walk through a Biblical basis for support raising. I've unpacked some of that here: Jesus Was Supported by Others – Will You Follow?
Students need to see that support raising is not begging for money, mooching off others, wasting their degree. They need to see that they may believe more in the American dream than the Bible.
Students need to see that brilliant men and women, who literally could have made millions in the marketplace, have foregone earthly riches in order to serve Christ (following in the footsteps of Moses and other greats of the faith). We need the best and the brightest, not those who can't find viable work elsewhere. They need to hear (true!) stories of other grads leaving six figure starting salaries and $50k signing bonuses on the table in order to go into full time ministry. My discipler in college had chosen staff on Cru – he held degrees in economics and mechanical engineering from Rice University. He could easily start with a six figure salary. That inspired me. It emboldened me. It let me see that full time ministry is a great investment of incredible talent and brains. We have the greatest cause in the world and we need the brightest minds in the world to give their lives to fulfilling the Great Commission.
Spend a discipleship time listening to a talk Steve Shadrach's talk at Urbana on 5 Essential Keys to Fully Fund Your Ministry. It has great vision and practical insights on raising support.
Jesus Was Supported by Others – Will You Follow?
What are ways you have helped students move past the obstacle of support raising?
This is the fourth in a series of posts on Raising Support. Click to read the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
I spent 10 weeks this spring raising support. I learned a lot and wanted to share the wealth.
This spring we were very blessed to have a few supporters join our team in the range of $500-$1000/monthly. It's not like we're just awash in big donors. Previously we had 2 supporters in that range. Here's a few things we learned.
Your own discernment will get you a long way – but you need to have some indication that they are capable of giving at this level.
This is not by, any means, a normal ask that you will use very often.
This spring we asked 101 people for support. I only asked 4 to contribute at this level. 3 chose to do so. The 4th joined our monthly team at a lesser amount.
I offered to stop by their office for 15 minutes. Most of them wanted to just talk on the phone for 5 minutes. Obviously face to face, relationship building is better. I had known most of these folks for many years so the phone option worked fine.
They are used to being asked and are not offended and likely make big financial decisions every day for their job. They will tell you no if they don't want to give. But they won't be offended.
Many large donors like to give all at once.
They might ask a lot of critical questions – but don't take it personally. They want to give wisely and be well informed donors.
These are often successful businesspeople who live in the realm of numbers and spreadsheets. They will be doing the math in their head as you talk about your need.
"This past fall we were getting short paychecksIt's a combination of the economy (we lost some key supporters in the past few years) and our costs have escalated.
We haven't stopped to raise support like this since we came on staff 15 years ago. With 5 kids and increased healthcare costs, our financial needs have grown quite a bit.
I've heard from several wealthy, Godly, generous people that one of their chief concerns is you becoming dependent on them.
So I make a point to let them know that they are not alone – we have several people who give in this way.
If it would be helpful to you, you can download a Word doc of my flow of a conversation/ask for a significant monthly gift.
This is the third in a series of posts on Raising Support in ministry. Click to read the 1st and 2nd.
One of the most helpful things to me in this season of raising support full time has been gaining a deeper understanding of the Biblical foundation of raising support.
The One who "owns the cattle on a thousand hills" is not sweating my support needs.
"If it were wrong to be supported by the personal gifts of others, Jesus Christ would not have allowed it in His own ministry. Jesus was not underwritten by a religious body, nor did He work an outside job once He began His ministry. He allowed Himself and His team to be supported by the gifts of a large group of followers.
I spoke to a department manager at a missions agency office about helping one of her workers raise personal support. "Oh, we don't do it that way!" she replied piously. No one in her department would ever "stoop" to receiving personal support. Too bad. Jesus did. Was He wrong?
Paul speaks at length throughout the chapter about funding for his ministry and culminates with: "the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel." It's not an option but a command.
What Bible passages are most encouraging to you as you raise support?
Tomorrow I will share: How to Ask for $1000/Month Gifts.
This is the first in a series of posts on Raising Support in ministry.
I am not a natural support raiser – I'm not an extroverted networker.
This spring we needed to take 10 weeks off campus to work on raising support and, to be honest, I was dreading the experience. We have been on staff with Cru for 15 years and after our initial support raising, the most we had ever raised was $1000/mo (in a summer). This spring we needed to raise $4,000 in monthly support and I thought it would never happen. Yet God has provided in amazing ways and I have learned a lot along the way.
In the next few posts I would love to share some great resources and insights from this experience of raising support.
Steve Shadrach is a leading expert on support raising. He just released a new book on support raising The God Ask – endorsed by Ellis Goldstein (Cru's Guru of Support Raising) among many others. Cru Staff- I have a hunch we'll get a free copy at Staff Conference. I'd recommend following Steve's organization: Support Raising Solutions on Twitter.
Steve gave a talk at Urbana on 5 Essential Keys to Fully Fund Your Ministry I'd highly recommend to anyone who raises support.
Aside: see this fascinating TED Talk for a totally different (secular), yet likeminded, viewpoint- Too many nonprofits are rewarded for how little they spend – not for what they get done.
Tomorrow I'll share my personal stats and insights from 10 weeks of raising support.


In case you missed the announcement on Tuesday, Microsoft has announced a new release of BizTalk Server 2006 called BizTalk Server 2006 R2 (Release 2) to ship H1 2007.
R2 will build on the core foundation of BizTalk Server 2006 and won't introduce any architectural changes instead it's focusing on building extra "services" on the BizTalk platform and improving out-of-the-box integration with Office 2007.
For those of you interested in EDI things we're extending EDI support extensively, more of which is covered in this article.
The WCF adapter that has been mentioned for a while now moves into the R2 "ship vehicle" and will bring native connectivity for WCF so you can expose and invoke WCF services along with the associated WS-* standards for interop.
We will also be writing a adapter "framework" on top of WCF to enable customers to write adapters easier which will be a big step forward in my view for customers needing to write adapters.
Other good news is the introduction of BAM Interceptors for Windows Workflow (WF) this will allow Events and Data within a WF Workflow to be captured and delivered to BAM enabling cross BTS and WF instrumentation scenarios, so imagine a scenario where you hand off manual processing to a WF enabled ASP.NET application as the workflow is processed over time you can record milestones and data into the central BAM store enabling your "tracking portal" built in BAM to have a view across the entire solution - great news.

• Introduction :
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), is the oldest institution for the study of Engineering and Architecture in Bangladesh. Today's BUET is originated as a Survey School at Nalgola in 1876 to train Surveyors for the then Government of Bengal of British India. As the years passed, the Survey School became the Ahsanullah School of Engineering. In 1947, the School was upgraded to Ahsanullah Engineering College (at its present premise) as a Faculty of Engineering under the University of Dhaka. In order to create facilities of postgraduate studies and research, in particular, Ahsanullah Engineering College was upgraded to the status of a University giving a new name of East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology (EPUET) in year 1962. After the birth of Bangladesh in 1971, it was renamed as the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and largest disciplines of study at BUET. The Department has been one of the most prestigious departments of BUET from the beginning. The four year graduate program of Mechanical Engineering was started in 1947 in the then Ahsanullah Engineering College. So far the department has awarded B.Sc Engg (Mechanical) degree to 4166 graduates, M.Sc / M.Engg degree to 201 and Ph.D. degree to 16 postgraduate students. Mechanical Engineering is generally understood to emphasize on energy, its transformation, transmission and utilization; and on applied mechanics and design. The mechanical engineering undergraduate and graduate programmes provide excellent technical background for persons who want to work in fluid mechanics, applied mechanics, heat transfer, environmental pollution control, and other multidisciplinary professions where a good understanding of technology is often very important. Throughout the study programmes, considerable emphasis is placed on the development of systematic procedures for analysis and design, and on the responsible use of technology. The undergraduate programme prepares the student for a career in engineering, with an emphasis on the technical areas of fluid and thermal energy systems and the conversion of thermal energy to other forms of energy, mechanical systems and machines, and design and control of these systems. In addition to lecture and practical sessions in classrooms, the undergraduate programme also includes industrial visits and on-site industrial training for about five to six weeks. The postgraduate programme provides specialization in the above mentioned areas.
• Major Divisions:
The department is organized into three major divisions:
The Thermal Engineering division covers the areas of thermo-sciences, applied thermodynamics, energy systems, heat transfer, and pollution control. The Fluid Mechanics division offers courses and specialized work in the areas of fluid mechanics and machinery in general, and fluid dynamics, and experimental and computational fluid mechanics in particular. The Applied Mechanics division emphasizes on such areas as, dynamics, mechanics of deformable solids, design of machine elements, kinematics, and fatigue and fracture mechanics. There are about fifty eight well qualified teaches in the department specialized in one of the above mentioned fields. Many of them have postgraduate degrees from well reputed universities of the developed countries. A good number of teachers are now studying abroad for postgraduate degrees.

Gallery: Lobo With Shotguns Looks Like A Total Blast From the Past | "DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"
If any game was a perfect example of "screenshots do NOT do this game justice!" it would be Lobo With Shotguns, coming sometime this year from talented indie developers Fat Panda Games Studio. Based in Yucatán, Mexico, the team has infused their upcoming non-stop action-packed game with a seriously awesome retro look that recalls 60's and 70's comic books as well as classic arcade game series such as Final Fight, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, and even bits of Splatterhouse.
As soon as I saw the screens and spectacular trailer, I think I let out a squeal that sounded like a car skidding on a wet highway then through a guard rail and off a cliff (BOOM!). Memories of the old Marvel Super Heroes cartoons from their 1970's run on WPIX here in NY punched me in the head until I stopped laughing because I'd forgotten to breathe. I also got a whiff of ancient Mexican horror/hero movies at work here, but it's not as obvious an influence. That said, if anyone was to do a series of side-scrolling Lucha games featuring the legendary Sancho character, I'd choose this team based on what's here.
Now, more about those screens (or go watch the video if you haven't!). In this form they do look kind of like old fuzzy VHS screen captures to the point they're almost too distracting. But that's fine with me as long as the game has an OFF option for that graininess. I don't mind a challenging game at all, folks. But dying because the screen pulled a retro fuzzy interference moment as I was busting a few moves and caps into danger trying to take Lobo out.
Still, you have to LOVE the dedication Fat Panda has nailed to the point of even the comic book coloring not being completely inside the lines like many an old issue of whatever your favorite book was back in the day.
Anyway, Lobo With Shotguns has kicked itself to the top of my must-play indies list and if you're all tickled pink or any other color by what you've seen, slap this one on your wishlist, pronto. Back with more on this killer werewolf and his great-looking game soon.

Here's an update from a recent client. We were happy to help arrange Buster and Lulu's reunion with their family!
When my wife and I returned from a trip to Europe visiting her family, we knew what had to be done: We needed to be closer to family. There were just two problems, one big and one little.
Our beloved Boston Terrier Buster could fit underneath the seat if need be. The bigger problem was our Pit Bull, Lulu. She wouldn't just be difficult to transport—she was impossible to bring into either the UK or France, where my wife's parents live. In fact, if we even tried to bring her into France, we'd both be risking jail time.
From the word go, PetRelocation was very candid with us. They simply would not take our business unless they were absolutely sure we'd be able to get Lulu into a country. After checking with representatives in France and the UK, they delivered the bad news: They wouldn't be able to get our dogs into either of those countries. So, we went back to the drawing board.
We needed to find a country in the European Union where they spoke English, and Pit Bulls were allowed. It took me two weeks to find the obvious answer: Ireland. Strangely, Ireland has avoided breed-specific legislation, barring a muzzle in public law that seems scarcely enforced.
PetRelocation were great dealing with two doggie helicopter parents. I probably emailed them 50 times between when they told us they could transport our dogs until I arrived in Ireland. Never once did I feel like they were annoyed or unhappy with us, even though I frequently asked questions they have already answered multiple times.
Even more importantly, they guided the entire process. That alone was worth the money we paid. I know that I might have been able to handle it myself. But I might have slipped up on some minor point that would have had Buster and Lulu on a flight back to somewhere with no one to take care of them. The peace of mind was really worth it.
It also meant a lot knowing that someone would be there in Dublin to expedite the pair through customs. And while the team in Zurich wasn't on PetRelocation's payroll, I felt very confident in my dogs having a great experience during their comfort stop. I knew that if they were anything less than top notch, PetRelocation wouldn't have our dogs flying through Zurich.
And so, while we were all very nervous through the whole process, we would have been a lot more so if we didn't have PetRelocation handling every step of the way.
Looking for assistance with a pet move of your own? Please contact PetRelocation for a pet travel consultation.

Three years of The Fetch: a look back with feedback from the community — April 27, 2014
Three years of The Fetch: a look back with feedback from the community
April 27, 2014 April 28, 2014 /Kate Kendall/5 Comments
We recently passed three years since the first humble email digest was sent in Melbourne. The Fetch was just a teeny tiny side-project then with the goal of making it easier to discover all the events happening that the rest of the event and city guides didn't cover. Since then, we've been on a journey, delivering curated goodness to the community week after week – in cities all around the world. Countless hours have been put in by our community of tireless curators, including dedicating our Sundays to prepare so that we could kick off your work week with your local issue of The Fetch. We're now starting to think about our future. It's exciting… and scary!
Over the coming weeks, you'll start to notice many updates to The Fetch – including a new logo, a new email design, the transition to one global newsletter of the 'Link-love, must-reads' section, and the launch of a new responsive landing page. From here, you'll be able to sign-up to reserve a username for the next generation of The Fetch – an app that does a way better job of delivering you events (customized for you, less noise, and more relevancy with social and calendar integration). Most importantly, this platform will allow us to have a better foundation to sustain our activities from – we will be able to spend less time creating and editing The Fetch emails manually – and more time on quality and breadth of content.
We've decided that there's no point in building this app if we don't have the support of the community we love to serve. After all, if you don't find it useful or actually want/need it, then perhaps it shouldn't exist! A good way to understand this support is via crowdsourcing funds so we'll be launching a Kickstarter campaign over the coming weeks. We hope you back us!
The map above shows a few of the 70-plus requests we've had to take The Fetch to more cities. The grey dots are where we'd expand to with the new platform.
In order to get a better sense of what is is about The Fetch that our community values, we've asked members from all walks their thoughts:
"I regularly recommend The Fetch to people looking to get involved in their local startup scenes — it's quick, informative and brilliant. As a weekly reader, I'm a huge fan."
~ Kathryn Minshew, founder & CEO, The Muse
"Since becoming the Melbourne Curator, my life has changed dramatically in a very positive way. It's provided me with the opportunity to meet an exciting network of people across the digital/tech/ creative industries who are eager to connect, collaborate, and share knowledge. The sense of community that can be found amongst the Fetchers is unique and one that has developed in such a natural and organic way – it's been amazing to be a part of its growth."
~ Kat Loughrey, curator of The Fetch Melbourne
"The Fetch has helped me grow my community, Girl Geek Dinners Melbourne, from 300 to 850 women in one year. Most recently, we advertised Australia's first all-female hackathon, She Hacks. An increase in traffic to our website resulted, but there were also many people who I bumped into on the street that said they saw She Hacks in The Fetch. I recommend The Fetch as the best place to find out about events for professionals."
~ Tammy Butow, senior digital strategist, National Australia Bank
City ambassador
"The Fetch has allowed me to invest in my own growth. I have been able to forge new friendships, develop skills and pursue unexpected interests because of what it's put in my path. As a result of the things I am aware of in my community, I have become better equipped at guiding other people towards the resources they need to fuel their own aspirations and endeavours."
~ Jackie Antig, city ambassador for The Fetch
No. 1 fan
"The Fetch has opened my horizons both professionally and personally in Sydney and in places I travel to, such as Melbourne, London, and New York. It's brilliant for making connections and putting me in the know of what's happening in the digital and creative scene. I recommend The Fetch to nearly everyone I meet, and they love it. Since the very first issue came out, I have been a fan, the No.1 Fetch Fan in fact. It has changed and enriched my life."
~ Mark Woodrow, founder, The Galaxy and now at Yammer
No. 1 sharer of The Fetch's content
"I feel a bit lost when my week doesn't start with The Fetch. I'm always on the lookout for fresh job opportunities and local events where I can learn and network, and The Fetch's weekly email is my first port of call to find them. Even on the weeks where the jobs and events don't suit my needs, I always know there'll be at least a handful of fascinating articles to read and learn from. I love it."
~ Neil Fahey, freelance writer, blogger and online comms guy
Email format lover and partner
"To feel the pulse of a city's tech scene, I recommend subscribing to The Fetch. Regardless of whether you're making in-roads into creative communities, or wanting to attend a web metrics meetup, each issue will have you both scrambling for your calendar and reading up on new and interesting projects. A hat tip to their team for creating such a valuable newsletter!"
~ Rosanne de Vries, Community Manager, Campaign Monitor
If you'd like to pass on any feedback about where we're going and where we've come from – or to chat about sponsoring or adding to our list of Kickstarter prizes, please email me kate@thefetch.com.
Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on our changes over the coming months. 🙂

Event Review: Pause Fest — November 25, 2012
Event Review: Pause Fest
November 25, 2012 April 6, 2014 /The Fetch community
Creativity and the technology behind it is moving at an almost immeasurable speed. Artists, designers, technologists and entrepreneurs are bringing the future to the surface and Pause Fest forces us to take a glimpse into the industry's current triumphs along with what lies ahead.
The collection of screenings throughout the Pause Fest took me into and out of new worlds. I was blown away by the latest animation tricks forged by the most talented designers of our times. I saw colours, textures and motions I have never seen before and sailed through narratives that were heartfelt, tragic and silly. And while technical execution was undoubtedly extraordinary, there was another layer to savour.
The content of the hand-picked shorts explored issues that were real, raw, relevant and perhaps planted to help re-contextualize or inspire our own creations. Some of the selections hinted at possibilities in sustainable urban design in an environmentally fragile future, for example. Others forced me to consider the dark implications of cultural conservation in a world becoming less about photographs stored in our bookshelves and more about the ones in the cloud.
I walked away from the festival with my eyes bewildered and my mind heavy yet hopeful. I am looking forward to the future as posed by the Pause Fest, promising richer colours and new ways of looking, but am also wary of the changes that may come in an unexamined society.
So if you didn't get a chance to experience the Pause Fest, I urge you to look forward to the third installment of the Pause Fest in 2013. And for those who are the creators behind the art, products and businesses designing for our future, consider a few guiding principles spun from the underlying themes I found to be palpable throughout the festival:
Tell a story. Build something that is part of a bigger story. Create an immersive world for it so that your audience believes that they can touch and feel it on some level.
Imagine first, engineer later. Dream as though there are no limitations in physics or resources. Figure out how to build it later.
The finer details matter. The small details in colour, texture, font, size and tone are part of the immersive world you're creating.
Work together. You can't do it by yourself. Work with people who are not like you. Doing so will make you better at what you do.

Interview: Melbourne local, Scott Brewer, Art Processors

This week, Jackie Antig interviews Scott Brewer, the CTO and Cofounder of Art Processors.
Name: Scott Brewer
Website: http://artprocessors.net
Twitter: @ArtProcessors
Scott Brewer is the CTO and Cofounder of Art Processors, a company which designs and develops innovative mobile applications and content delivery systems for cultural institutions. The technology they've built has completely removed wall labels from the visitor experience. Imagine that!
Their first mobile museum guide app, The O, at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Tasmania, runs on an iPod that is provided to every visitor. The O lists which artworks are near you as you walk throughout the museum, allowing you to decide which object to see next, generating a more exploratory museum experience. Each artwork in the app comes with an extensive bundling of rich content varying between curator commentary, personal emails and interviews with the artists and food-for-thought starters. We ultimately tailor what we learn and discover with what we find engaging and relevant with each work of art.
The O relies on data to feed content about the artworks and to identify where the visitor is within the building. It also generates a lot of information about individual visitor and collective audience behaviour. Scott Brewer talks to us about museum data, technology and of course, a little bit about art.
Museum data usually refers to a museum's collection. How has Art Processors re-invented data in the museum context?
I believe we've made the data a museum has on offer available to the visitor in a way that hasn't been previously achievable and that's been our biggest re-invention. When you go down to MONA (as an example), as a visitor you're now able to access so much more content about works than is usually on offer in a more traditional setting.
It is strange, but by removing the wall label we've actually been able to increase the information available to visitors and make the aesthetic of the museum more focused on the works and less on the content. Win!
What excites you about the potential for this data? Are there things you're cautious about too?
I think the most exciting thing about freeing this data is that it offers the visitor a more engaging and personal experience. The visitor is free to take in the works and then only seek out the information on those that they want to engage with; instead of being forced to read large wall texts that don't hold interest, a museum can put that information onto a device for visitors and provide them with more works to view.
Are there plans to translate the personal data visitors kick up from their visit into shareable online content?
Funny you should mention it, we're currently in the middle of working on improving user feedback within our platform!
The amount of research that takes place in ways to provide this functionality is staggering. Giving the visitor the chance to respond without bias and in a simple and intuitive way isn't the easiest problem in the world to solve! Then there is the question of what to do with the content the visitor is creating and who owns it all.
So many questions to answer. We're planning on putting new aspects of our software into beta later this year that will have some of these features, then we can start testing them on a small scale before rolling them out en masse. We are really excited about some of the possibilities that come with great user generated content though so hopefully we'll get it done right.
Name an art movement or artist whose ideas about creation inspire your own take on building new products.
As anyone who knows me well knows I'm slightly obsessed with Dick Bruna. His use of colour and line just amazes me. His minimalist style is definitely an inspiration to me in most everything I do.
Although a lot of people probably write him off as simply being an author of childrens books, for me his ability to get it so right in such a succinct manner is something that more people should consider (especially in software development!).

The Medicare Fraud Strike Force executes operations in eight cities that result in charges against 89 individuals, including doctors and nurses, for their alleged participation in Medicare fraud involving $220 million in false billings.
The American Medical Association releases a study on the use of computers in the examination room and its effect on patient satisfaction. The study found that patients' attitudes toward the computer were heavily influenced by the physicians' attitude toward it. The more positive they perceived their doctor's attitudes, the more likely respondents were to indicate a preference for computer use in the exam room.
McKesson expands its McKesson Gives Back program nationally. The program, launched in 2011, donates McKesson Practice Choice EHR systems to small physician practices that operate in underserved and underinsured communities.
Rarely agree with J. Bush but he's headed in the right direction with his comments. Health care is a beast too many VCs don't understand. The ones that throw money at smart kids out of Harvard and MIT who will disrupt health care are generally throwing away their money.
Successful HIT investments by and large either follow the breadcrumb trail left by government or are started by industry veterans who know the gaps and weaknesses in the system that need a solution.
Don't know how relevant they would be in a year and a half / stage 2 when Pt. Portal is required.
They must have some kind if exit strategy planned to combat the flood of EHR vendor pt. portals ?
Or will they play outside that space?
Thus far they seem to be doing so capitalizing on selling to physicians only.


We reported around two months ago that Sony's Xperia X Performance will also be rolled out in UK and now there are reports that this smartphone is already available on sale in the region. The Xperia X and Xperia XA are already unveiled in UK on 20th May this year.
Sony launched its Xperia X Performance phone in US today only for about $700 but now the reports reveal that the phone is also available in Britain. It is reported that Unlocked Mobiles is selling the black variant of this handset in the country for £600, including VAT. The carrier has free next day delivery as well.
If you want to purchase Sony Xperia X Performance phone in UK then just click in the link to visit its store. Keep in mind that there is only one seller on Amazon UK but it dispatches the handset from Hong Kong. Currently, this smartphone is not available on sale via the official website of Sony Mobile. You don't even have an option to pre-order this handset from the official website of the company.

În geometrie, apexul (plural apexuri) este vârful care este considerat "cel mai de sus" al figurii căreia îi aparține. Utilizarea tipică a termenului este pentru vârful opus unei baze, sau pentru un vârf care trebuie deosebit de celelalte. Cuvântul provine din , care înseamnă "vârf, culme".

În spațiul bidimensional
În principiu, într-un triunghi oarecare, oricare vârf poate fi considerat apex față de latura opusă. Într-un triunghi isoscel, apexul este vârful în care se întâlnesc cele două laturi de lungime egală, fiind opus celei de a treia laturi, inegală cu celelalte două.

În spațiul tridimensional
Într-o piramidă sau într-un con, apexul este vârful "din vârf", opus bazei. Într-o piramidă, apexul este vârful care face parte din toate fețele laterale, respectiv locul unde toate muchiile laterale se întâlnesc.

SYNTHETIC JUNGLE
Une Roseby Edouard Flechier
Do you believe in the symbolism of numbers and dates? Frédéric Malle is one who leaves nothing to chance, and believes in signs. When launching his own brand in the year 2000, he opted to do so on June 6, as a reference to the allied landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944. What finer metaphor for the launch of a brand that would resolutely push the boundaries of haute perfumery?
Frédéric Malle is a man of taste who believes in the virtues of well-conceived and well-executed work. But he's also a singular character deeply in tune with his own instincts and his unconditional desire for freedom. So when he launched his brand, he did so in his own inimitable way.
In 2000, global perfume was to luxury what blockbusters are to American cinema, an avenue whose actors and products are not always of the highest quality, characterized by rather well-worn clichés. At the age of 38, having been trained at Roure where he became acquainted with the greatest noses, and with a total of fifteen years in the profession, Frédéric Malle would finally fulfill his mad desire to shake everything up and show what he had to offer.
Because he knew the international aura of St. Germain-des-Prés, Malle chose to open his first boutique at 37 rue de Grenelle in Paris. The "Latin Quarter" is a place that he knows by heart, where he has his habits and landmarks of his daily life, such as the Café de Flore, where he calls the waiters by their first name, having been a "regular" for so many years.
At the opening, Frédéric Malle welcomed into the modestly sized boutique curious onlookers, journalists, and friends both famous and unknown.
While at the time perfumes were presented in an undifferentiated manner in self-service stores, Malle decided to go against the grain, and created a true showcase, a place dedicated to true perfume lovers. Determined that the shop should be a welcoming place and an experience in itself, he conceived it with Andrée Putman, entrusted its realization to Olivier Lempereur, and himself chose the furniture and supervised every element of the presentation down to the smallest detail. This first Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle boutique set the tone for those that would follow. In line with the brand name, the boutique gestures toward the very St. Germain concept of the publishing house. On the wall hang portraits of the authors as well as the perfumes they have created. The visitor discovers how the role of the publisher is to work with his authors, pushing them to give their very best; and that perfumery is an art with the power to create worlds that can touch our dreams, our desires, and our very identity.
As he writes, modestly: "The sole purpose of the boutique was to represent and sell a collection of nine perfumes, available in three sizes, 100ml, 50ml and 5ml."
So it was that 6/6/2000 saw the release of nine new creations composed in complete freedom by the greatest perfumers in the world. Nine exceptional perfumes whose evocative titles resonate like invitations.
Iris Poudre by Pierre Bourdon
The first perfume created by the house, and the first in a line of compositions constructed around a single extraordinarily precious ingredient.
Musc Ravageur by Maurice Roucel
"A perfume that goes against the olfactive tendencies of the times, heralds a renaissance of oriental perfumery, and invites us to reflect on the sensuality of perfume. A classic that fuses with the skin and makes no compromise." - Frédéric Malle. Musc Ravageur was to become one of the house's bestsellers.
Le Parfum de Thérèse by Edmond Roudnitska
"A twentieth-century masterpiece, created by one of the greatest artists in modern perfumery for his wife Thérèse, who was the only person to wear it until I asked permission to publish it, and she bequeathed this testament to me as if it had been written." - Frédéric Malle.
Angéliques sous la Pluie by Jean-Claude Ellena

If you and your friends have problems gettings plans straight or even making them, Skobee fills your void. I've seen a lot of so called "web 2.0" site and this is one of the better concepts out there. Not sure if it will take off to the likes of flickr and digg, but this seems like one that could make it. It's very social, but maybe it needs some ugliness to it to catch on like myspace 🙂 The big problem for newcummers right now is that there are so many new sites popping up that even really good ones may get left in the dust.

Twin Falls Runner Top American Woman at Los Angeles Marathon
Benito Baeza
Benito Baeza Published: March 25, 2019
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KLIX)-A Twin Falls distance runner and a head coach for the College of Southern Idaho took sixth place in the women's division at the Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday.
According to the Sketchers Performance Los Angles Marathon website, Lindsey Anderson, of Twin Falls, Idaho placed sixth and the top American at the race with a time of (2:34:45). She told the Associated Press she was surprised to finish as the top American woman. According to the College of Southern Idaho Athletic website, Anderson is the head coach for the men's cross country and distance track program for the Golden Eagles. She also ran at the the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, finishing 24th overall.
According to her bio, Anderson was charged with restarting the CSI cross country program after it was ended in 1999. Originally from Morgan, Utah, Anderson ran for Weber State University from 2003 to 2007 and served as their assistant track coach from 2007 to 2014.
According to the race website, nearly 24,000 were expected to run Sunday, coming from all across the globe. The 26 mile race begins at the Dodgers Stadium and goes through Los Angeles ending at the coastline.

The passing of Coretta Scott King, poignantly coming on the eve of Black History Month and just two weeks after the annual observance of the holiday named for her late husband, offers a moment to reflect on the ways in which gender issues showed up during the height of the civil rights struggle. Mrs. King's death also came a short time after that of Rosa Parks, another icon in that struggle.
It's important to remember the great women who, along with many great men, led the way to a more just society. It's important, too, to understand that Rosa Parks didn't just decide on the spur of the moment not to move to the back of the bus; she'd been part of a longstanding women's organization in Montgomery, and her stand that day was planned carefully. Only later did the women, as a strategic decision, cede leadership to the male clergy, including the young Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as the bus boycott took shape. And it was the hard-working black women of Montgomery who formed the backbone of that movement and made history.
Others come to mind. I think of Fannie Lou Hamer, an organizer of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, who challenged the credentials of the all-white Mississippi delegation to the 1964 Democratic Convention with her impassioned words: "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired." I'm awed by the courage of such women as Autherine Lucy, who faced mobs in her attempt to attend the University of Alabama in 1956, and Charlayne Hunter (now Hunter-Gault, a well-known journalist), who was successful in beginning the integration of the University of Georgia five years later. And there were the hundreds of young women who sat as equals with their male fellow-students in the sit-ins of the '60s, facing jail, verbal abuse and risk to their personal safety.
Though women stood shoulder-to-shoulder with men throughout the civil rights movement, men were not universally appreciative of their role. At the famous 1963 March on Washington, not one woman was on the platform with King and other male leaders. There were open discussions during those years about the need for men to be seen as leaders to present positive role models to young black men who more often saw their mothers and other women as the exemplars of strength in their families and communities. And there was the remarkably stupid, demeaning comment from Stokely Carmichael, then a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, that "The only position for women in the movement is prone."
Homophobia also showed itself in that time. Organizer Bayard Rustin and author James Baldwin, both openly gay at a time when being "out" was far more rare than today, took their hits along with the plaudits. One commentator says of Baldwin that "inclusion of gay themes [in his writing] resulted in a lot of savage criticism from the Black community." Another observer, speaking of the great poet Langston Hughes, said "There has been a consistent attempt to ignore or at least downplay his homosexuality because he is such a towering figure in African American literature--his icon status among the African American community is contingent on his heterosexuality."
None of this diminishes the great accomplishments of the civil rights movement and the men we continue to honor. It does point up the fact that, revolutionaries though they were, they were still products of a sexist and homophobic culture that played out in minority and majority communities alike. Just as the women's suffrage movement grew out of the failure of the abolitionist movement to recognize women's second-class status in the 19th century, the modern feminist and gay rights movements arose at least in part from the replaying of societal prejudices within the civil rights effort. And the good news is that we have all benefited in the long run.
We are not less liberated but more so by the successes of feminists and gay and lesbian people of all races and cultural backgrounds. Our understanding that bigotry damages us all is enlarged when we learn how it plays out in the lives of women, gay and transgendered people, persons with disabilities, and others at the wrong end of privilege. There can be no competition between oppressed groups when it comes to equality. I believe Coretta King and Rosa Parks would readily agree: We can each of us only be free if we all are free.
