Theresienfeld osztrák mezőváros Alsó-Ausztria Bécsújhelyvidéki járásában. 2020 januárjában 3687 lakosa volt.

Elhelyezkedése

Theresienfeld a tartomány Industrieviertel régiójában fekszik a Bécsi-medence délkeleti peremén, Bécsújhelytől közvetlenül északra. Területének 3,2%-a erdő, 65,6% áll mezőgazdasági művelés alatt. Az önkormányzat területét egyetlen katasztrális község teszi ki.

A környező önkormányzatok: északra Felixdorf, északkeletre Eggendorf, délre Bécsújhely, nyugatra Wöllersdorf-Steinabrückl.

Története
Theresienfeld az egyetlen újkori telepített helység a mai Ausztria területén. Az addig jórészt lakatlan legelők helyén 1763-ban alapította Mária Terézia a "mezőgazdasági kolóniát" a bécsújhelyi Andreas Fourlani tervei alapján. Tengelyét a Bécs-Trieszt birodalmi főút képezte, ennek mentén sorakoztak 100 méterenként a a házak (összesen 70), mögöttük kerttel. A vízellátást egy 5,3 km hosszú csatorna biztosította. 1767-ben megkezdték a Szent kereszt-templom építését és a következő évre készültek el, felszentelésénél maga a császárnő is jelen volt. A telepesek közel fele Tirolból érkezett, a többiek pedig a környező régióból. A település jól fejlődött, bár a rossz talaj és a gyenge vízellátottság miatt sokan kénytelenek voltak további szántóföldeket bérelni.

1850-ben megalakult a mezővárosi önkormányzat. A második világháború végén néhányszor bombázták Theresienfeldet, de inkább másodlagos célpontként a közeli repülőgépgyár mellett. 1945. április 2-án a szovjet hadsereg kisebb harcok árán foglalta el a települést, melyek során 9 ház komolyan megrongálódott.

Lakosság
A theresienfeldi önkormányzat területén 2020 januárjában 3687 fő élt. A lakosságszám 1961 óta erőteljesen gyarapodó tendenciát mutat; azóta több mint négyszeresére duzzadt. 2018-ban az ittlakók 82%-a volt osztrák állampolgár; a külföldiek közül 2,1% a régi (2004 előtti), 9,9% az új EU-tagállamokból érkezett. 4,7% a volt Jugoszlávia (Szlovénia és Horvátország nélkül) vagy Törökország, 1,2% egyéb országok polgára volt. 2001-ben a lakosok 61,4%-a római katolikusnak, 6,2% evangélikusnak, 4,7% ortodoxnak, 4,9% mohamedánnak, 18,2% pedig felekezeten kívülinek vallotta magát. Ugyanekkor a legnagyobb nemzetiségi csoportokat a német (83,4%) mellett a szerbek (4,7%), a törökök (3,9%) és a magyarok (2,6%, 65 fő )alkották.

Amit believes that the filming will take some time. "We expect the script to take at least a year to complete. It will take a lot of effort and a lengthy journey."
Regarding other directors interested in doing a biopic on the iconic singer, Anurag Basu stated that his version, which is currently stalled due to legal issues. For a long time, Anurag Basu had wanted to produce a biography of late famous singer Kishore Kumar starring Ranbir Kapoor. Despite rumors that the film will be canceled due to Ranbir's back-to-back commitments, the director of "Barfi!" is adamant about moving through with the movie.
According to reports, the film's script is complete, but certain legal issues must be addressed. Anurag stated that he would like to obtain permission from those affiliated with Kishore Kumar who is mentioned in the screenplay. Nonetheless, the filmmaker is grateful to the renowned singer's family for their unwavering support during the production of the film.

Twittering to find a Job?
Looking for a new job? Try Twitter yet? I would ask if anyone is Twittering to find their next job, but it appears the answer is an overwhelming "yes". I just recently built out a Twitter page for JTL Services, Inc. and have already quickly gotten a few followers - pretty cool!
For those job seekers who are skeptical at adding another online social-type network to their eBranding arsenal, let me provide you some quick and easy to understand feedback.
From a job searching perspective, I would put Twitter in the top 5 online tools to help you find a job. Using Twitter can provide two advantages to you, the job seeker. The first is that hiring managers are beginning to really take advantage of Twitter to find talent. Therefore, they are listing open job opportunities in hopes to attract the perfect candidate. So from a search and find standpoint, Twitter can help.
The second advantage is maybe even more important. Find companies that you want to work for and "follow" them on Twitter. You can "follow" a company's Twitter page if you want to be kept in the loop of activity regarding that company, including new job opportunities. What is even better, is that you can "follow" this company right on your mobile phone. This provides you with real-time up-to-date job opening information from a specific company or recruiter.
In conclusion, I absolutely recommend getting on the bandwagon with this one!

Q: Ace Editor does not work in Iframe (react-frame-component) tl;dr Demo of Issue
I'm attempting to integrate Ace Editor in an iframe via React 16. I am using the react-ace component library, though this issue exists if I implement the editor natively as well.
Although everything mostly works when I wrap the editor in react-frame-component, I cannot select highlight text which makes the editor unusable. I suspect this may have to do with the fact that react-frame-component is implemented with Portals, but I'm not sure exactly what the issue is.
I've replicated the issue here. I don't think this problem exists if I loaded the component with a regular <iframe src /> from another domain.

A: react-frame-component keeps the code in the parent window, and adds elements into an iframe, which confuses mouse handling code in ace to add event listeners to a wrong document
adding var document = el.ownerDocument before
https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/v1.4.10/lib/ace/lib/event.js#L111 would help.

Cognitive and psychological sequelae of hydrocephalus and spina bifida: correlating subjective data and objective neuropsychological data to establish insight and inform clinical intervention and guidelines

Despite significant advances in treating and improving the prognosis of individuals with hydrocephalus and spina bifida, many of these individuals continue to experience specific cognitive difficulties in the areas of memory, language, attention and executive function and these can often have a significant negative impact on everyday functioning [1–3].
A comprehensive questionnaire was designed, based on known cognitive and emotional sequelae, to assess patient and caregiver perceptions of the specific difficulties experienced by people with hydrocephalus and spina bifida and the extent to which these are being addressed. In order to establish levels of insight, this questionnaire was correlated with detailed neuropsychological data to triangulate actual cognitive performance with subjective self-assessment obtained from patients and the objective view of caregivers.
Questionnaire data will be presented that will highlight specific areas of discrepancy and concordance between patients and their caregivers (n = 60) and will be discussed in relation to actual performance on a range of cognitive tasks and the subsequent implications for strategic advice and intervention.
The data is being used to tailor specific cognitive strategies based on enhanced self-awareness, as part of small group and individual cognitive training interventions, within a multidisciplinary setting. It is hoped that the dissemination of the materials and methods designed for this study will inform best practice guidelines for these individuals and their caregivers and provide measurable outcomes for cognitive performance discrepancy, meta-awareness, strategy implementation and evaluation.

When the avant-garde author Mu Shiying was once assassinated in 1940, China misplaced one among its maximum modernist writers whereas Shanghai misplaced its so much exact chronicler of its demi-monde nightlife. As Andrew David box argues, Mu Shiying complex smooth chinese language writing past the vernacular expression of might four giants Lu Xun and Lao She to much more starkly demonstrate the alienation of the cosmopolitan-capitalist urban of Shanghai, trapped among the forces of civilization and barbarism. every one of those 5 brief tales specializes in the author's key obsessions: the fulfilling but anxiety-ridden social and sexual relationships of the fashionable urban and the decadent maelstrom of intake and relaxation in Shanghai epitomized by way of the dance corridor and the nightclub. This examine locations his writings squarely in the framework of Shanghai's social and cultural nightscapes.
The tale is narrated via a tender guy, a painter of miniatures, whose identify isn't given. He feels an overbearing have to recount an event he went via that has shattered his entire lifestyles. a gorgeous girl, an outdated guy and a cypress tree are the ordinary motifs.
In 1916, as international struggle I raged round them, a gaggle of bohemians amassed at a small cabaret in Zurich, Switzerland. After adorning the partitions with artwork via Picasso and different avant-garde artists, they launched into a chain of extravagant performances. 3 readers concurrently recited a poem in 3 languages; a monocle-wearing youngster played a spell from New Zealand; one other younger guy sneered on the viewers, snapping a whip as he intoned his "Fantastic Prayers." one of many artists known as those periods "both buffoonery and a requiem mass." quickly they might have a extra evocative identify: Dada.
In Destruction was once My Beatrice, modernist pupil Jed Rasula provides the 1st narrative background of Dada, exhibiting how this little-understood creative phenomenon laid the root for tradition as we all know it this present day. even supposing the venue the place Dada was once born closed after purely 4 months and its acolytes scattered, the belief of Dada quick unfold to big apple, the place it encouraged artists like Marcel Duchamp and guy Ray; to Berlin, the place it encouraged painters George Grosz and Hannah Höch; and to Paris, the place it dethroned earlier avant-garde pursuits like Fauvism and Cubism whereas inspiring early Surrealists like André Breton, Louis Aragon, and Paul Éluard. The lengthy tail of Dadaism, Rasula indicates, may be traced even extra, to artists as different as William S. Burroughs, Robert Rauschenberg, Marshall McLuhan, the Beatles, Monty Python, David Byrne, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, all of whom—along with untold others—owe a debt to the weird wartime escapades of the Dada vanguard.
A globe-spanning narrative that resurrects a few of the twentieth century's so much influential inventive figures, Destruction used to be My Beatrice describes how Dada burst upon the realm in the course of overall war—and how the consequences of this explosion are nonetheless reverberating today.
Poetry of the Revolution tells the tale of political and creative upheavals in the course of the manifestos of the 19th and 20th centuries. starting from the Communist Manifesto to the manifestos of the Sixties and past, it highlights the numerous alliances and rivalries among socialism and repeated waves of avant-garde artwork. Martin Puchner argues that the manifesto--what Marx known as the "poetry" of the revolution--was the style during which sleek tradition articulated its innovative pursuits and wishes. while it intruded into the field of artwork, the manifesto created an artwork in its personal snapshot: shrill and competitive, political and polemical. the outcome was once "manifesto art"--combinations of manifesto and paintings that essentially remodeled the creative panorama of the 20th century.
Central to trendy politics and artwork, the manifesto additionally measures the geography of modernity. The translations, versions, and variations of such texts because the Communist Manifesto and the Futurist Manifesto registered and complex the unfold of progressive modernity and of avant-garde activities throughout Europe and to the Americas. The speedy diffusion of those manifestos was once made "possible by way of networks--such because the successive socialist internationals and overseas avant-garde movements--that hooked up Santiago and Zurich, Moscow and big apple, London and Mexico urban. Poetry of the Revolution hence offers the purpose of departure for a really worldwide research of modernism and modernity.
Horacio Oliveira is an Argentinian author who lives in Paris along with his mistress, los angeles Maga, surrounded through a loose-knit circle of bohemian neighbors who name themselves "the Club." A kid's demise and los angeles Maga's disappearance placed an finish to his lifetime of empty pleasures and highbrow acrobatics, and steered Oliveira to come to Buenos Aires, the place he works through turns as a salesperson, a keeper of a circus cat that could really count number, and an attendant in an insane asylum. Hopscotch is the excellent, freewheeling account of Oliveira's awesome adventures.
Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov is definitely one of many maximum works of worldwide literature. With its dramatic portrayal of a Russian relations in hindrance and its excessive research into the fundamental questions of human life, the radical has had a massive influence on writers and thinkers throughout a large variety of disciplines, from psychology to spiritual and political philosophy. This proposed reader's advisor has significant targets: to assist the reader comprehend where of Dostoevsky's novel in Russian and international literature, and to light up the writer's compelling and intricate inventive imaginative and prescient. The plot of the radical facilities at the homicide of the patriarch of the Karamazov kinfolk and the next try to notice which of the brothers bears accountability for the homicide, yet Dostoevsky's final pursuits are way more thought-provoking. Haunted by means of the query of God's life, Dostoevsky makes use of the nature of Ivan Karamazov to invite what sort of God could create a global during which blameless childrens need to undergo, and he was hoping that his complete novel would supply the reply. The layout of Dostoevsky's paintings, during which one personality poses questions that different characters needs to try and resolution, offers a stimulating foundation for reader engagement. Having taught college classes on Dostoevsky's paintings for over 20 years, Julian W. Connolly attracts upon smooth and conventional methods to the radical to provide a reader's consultant that stimulate the reader's curiosity and offers a springboard for extra mirrored image and study.
Machado de Assis (1839-1908) is the nice Brazilian writer of thinker or puppy? and Epitaph of a Small Winner, whose paintings is in demand through writers as various as Salman Rushdie, Carlos Fuentes, Woody Allen and Susan Sontag.

U.S. Rep. Rogers: 'The Squad' is in charge of the Democrats
By now, you've likely heard of "The Squad," a foursome of freshman congressional Democrats that wield power and influence given their heightened presences in the media.
The group, consisting of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), have also been a problem for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
During an appearance on Birmingham radio's Talk 99.5 on Thursday, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) acknowledged the group was indeed in charge of the Democratic Party and said that "The Squad" has some more moderate members within the House Democratic caucus concerned.
"They are in charge and that's a thing a lot of folks on the outside don't recognize," Rogers said. "The reason why they have so much power in the conference is because their party has moved far to the left. That where the energy is. That's why you see Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren and [Pete] Buttigieg, whatever his name is – those folks, that is where the energy is. So, the more mainstream Democrats are worried about their primaries. And AOC, and Tlaib and the other two in what they call 'The Squad' have made it clear: They're going after some more mainstream members in their primaries. They intend to take them out. That's paralyzed a lot of these people because in most of these districts, you've got to worry about the primaries, not the general elections."

New Theoretical Models Salvage Moon-Forming Impact Theory
TOPICS:AstronomyFormationMoonPlanetary ScienceSatelliteSolar SystemTheia
By SciTechDaily October 18, 2012
Theia impacting proto-Earth, image by Fahad Sulheria.
One of the widest accepted models for the Moon's formation states that a renegade, Mars-sized planet, named Theia, slammed into Earth 4.5 billion years ago, and pushed up debris that would eventually coalesce into a satellite. This theory has been able to predict and explain many facts, like the mass of Earth and the Moon, but it also says that most of the lunar-forming debris stemmed from Theia, not proto-Earth. Theia is thought to have originated from a different part of the Solar System, with different elemental isotopes, which conflicts with some of the more sensitive measurements of the past decade showing that rocks from Earth and the Moon have identical isotopic ratios of oxygen, titanium, chromium, and tungsten.
Two teams of researchers report that they have solved this chemical quandary and have been able to uphold this lunar origin theory. The two papers predict different sizes for Theia. One paper states that Theia was smaller than Mars, and another says that Theia was four to five times larger than Mars. Both papers were published in the journal Science (1, 2).
The Moon-forming impactor may have been four or five times the size of Mars, or much smaller, according to new models. Image: DetlevvanRavenswaay/Science Photo Library.
These papers show that there is a wide variety of impact scenarios that were possible. The teams assumed that Earth rotated twice as fast as it does now. Gravitational interaction between the Moon and Sol could have drained the spin of a rapidly rotating Earth.
Robin Canup, one of the originators of the Mars-sized impact model, now considers the possibility that proto-Earth with half of Earth's current mass collided with an impactor of similar mass. The collision would have mixed the isotopic composition of the debris, making the isotopic composition indistinguishable from either body. It would have also revved up Earth's spin, which could have drained in a similar fashion to the other study.
The gravitational mechanism known as evection resonance appears when the short axis of the Moon's elliptical orbit around Earth precesses in sync with Earth's orbit around the Sun. Some of the angular momentum from a rapidly spinning Earth would be transferred to the Moon, which in turn allows the rotational energy to be absorbed by the Sol.
Other theorists believe making alterations to the impactor's speed and angle of impact, rather than its size, may result in a plausible Moon forming theory.

In one of the articles published by me under " SCIENCE FRONTIERS – A PROBE BY MADAN ",I have clearly indicated that Moon is alien to Earth and it had got to be formed or captured from Kuiper belt going around the Sun bringing along with its numerous comets, that are rocks , planetoids and water borne through ice mountains. I had stressed these points in many of my comments relevant to the subject in sci-tech daily also. The article substantiates my hypothesis. I will elucidate the proof as follows. The asteroid belt next to Mars comes after giant ringed gas planets of Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and and Jupiter. Many of the planetoids even measurable to the size of the earth like Titan had been either devoured or captured in the orbital rings of Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter, which make multiple and very many satellites around them. Some of the planetoids had escaped the gravity of Jupiter and Saturn and travelled further towards the Sun. The surviving terrestrial planets were Mars, Earth, Venus , Mercury and two odd shaped stone-mountain like moons of Mars viz., Phobos and Deimos, and our own black soiled Moon. Other debris formed as big asteroid belt after Mars which are sending rocks of mateors to impinge on Mars, Earth, Moon, Venus and Mercury constantly for eons. Now regarding the structure of these planets, one can observe that Earth and Mars look alike in soil chemistry. Moon and Mercury resemble in soil chemistry. This clearly indicates that our Earth was alone 4.5 billion years ago until lt got its companion after its impact with the planetoid Theia. Same may be the case of Mars also. Water found on Moon, Mars and all these planetoids including Titan were imported from extra-planetary impacts. That Moon was never formed out of earth, is proved.Gravitational locking of the Moon with the Earth and to some extent Venus, and over locked Mercury to make retrogade motion is a matter of gravity of the Sun in addition to the impacts. Let us make further research in the Planetary history to get the truth. Thank You.

Why do the moons of Jupiter and Saturn also not rotate?? yet unlike earth do not have "oceans" and so what explains their " locking".. the core!
Tidal locking is said to be the reason that the moon always has the same face towards earth. Jupiter and Saturn have 62 – 63 moons most of which are also in synchronous orbit. In the absence of a liquid ocean and the crustal structure of the earth how do they still pull this off?
The moon influences tide, thats as far as it goes!
It is the movement of the surface of the earth, speeding over the core, a conductor covering over a magnet that creates induction of the crust/ocean and movement of the oceans. It is to the magnetic core that moons are locked or pinned to orbit by "flux pinning", not tidal forces!
Gravitational locking is a gravitational phenomena. Tidal waves of ocean contributes only little to the gyration effect. Even planet Mercury which is devoid of any oceans also got locked by Sun`s gravity to such an extent that it stopped completely and then started rotating in reverse gear. Well! Jupiter is a failed star and it is 10000 times bigger than earth. These giants will naturally lock all its moons gravitationally because they are all small pebbles for its size to get locked gravitationally. I never mentioned tidal force responsible for gravitational locking. Please go through once again. Farther it is from Sun any planet will rotate fast and nearer the Sun brake will be applied. Mars rotates twice as fast as earth and the great Jupiter rotates on its axis in just 10 hours. Earth`s core or for that matter any terrestrial planet which is spherical in size keeps its ionic core and hot magma electrified only to effect magnetism and cause tectonic plate movements which is common not only on earth but also on Moon, Mars etc. For tectonic plates of continents the great oceans are just spoonful of water. Thank YOu.

Earth was formed earlier than some other planets when the sun was still developing and circumstellar disc turns around it. Theia was not big in size and did not have the ability to flatten earth by the impact. Earth surface was partially melt with its early basaltic material. When the pact happened Theia intruded inside the earth ejecting debris to the space as there was no aosphere at that period. The debris coalesced from earth surface and Theia components forming a moon freed fr earth gravity and joined the circumstellar disc around the sun. Because of the intruding Theia inside the earth it's gravity was not stable. When the sun turned into a main sequence star it released gigantic radio active solar storm pushing away all the debris and rocks within the previous circumstellar disc including the moons. Our moon hit a big rock close to earth and both were attracted by earth gravity starting its wobble movement around the earth at a time Theia large rock resided at the center of the earth

How does the self relate to the body? Bodily self-consciousness, i.e. the sense of being a subject bound to a body, involves a first-person perspective (1PP), i.e. the sense of being directed at the world. Prior research suggests that bodily self-consciousness depends on brain mechanisms integrating multisensory bodily signals. However, the specific multisensory mechanisms of 1PP are poorly understood. Here, I defend the thesis that the vestibular system, i.e. the sensory system encoding rotational and linear accelerations of the head, contributes to 1PP and related multisensory processing in the brain. The first part of my thesis presents experimental evidence showing that 1PP was influenced by multisensory conflict about the direction of gravity and the location of the body. 1PP depended on integrated visual-vestibular signals and was functionally distinct from another aspect of bodily self-consciousness: self-identification, i.e. the feeling that a particular body is 'mine'. The second part of my thesis presents the electrical neural correlates by which vestibular stimulation affected somatosensory and visual cortical processing. Passive whole-body yaw rotation naturally and selectively stimulated the vestibular system while the evoked responses to somatosensory or visual stimuli were recorded by electroencephalography. Electrical neuroimaging analysis showed temporal-specific vestibular effects on somatosensory and visual evoked potentials, localized by source estimations to distinct regions of the somatosensory, visual, and vestibular cortical networks. Collectively, the results from my thesis suggest that the vestibular system contributes to 1PP and multisensory cortical processing and imply that the vestibular system should not be neglected when studying higher brain function and neurobiological mechanisms of consciousness.

Muskekowuck Athinuwick

Download BOOK »
The original people of the Hudson Bay lowlands, often known as the Lowland Cree and known to themselves as Muskekowuck Athinuwick, were among the first Aboriginal peoples in northwestern North America to come into contact with Europeans. This book challenges long-held misconceptions about the Lowland Cree, and illustrates how historians have often misunderstood the role and resourcefulness of Aboriginal peoples during the fur-trade era. Although their own oral histories tell that the Lowland Cree have lived in the region for thousands of years, many historians have portrayed the Lowland Cree as relative newcomers who were dependent on the Hudson's Bay Company fur-traders by the 1700s. Historical geographer Victor Lytwyn shows instead that the Lowland Cree had a well-established traditional society that, far from being dependent on Europeans, was instrumental in the survival of traders throughout the network of HBC forts during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Gifts from the Thunder Beings
Author: Roland Bohr
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
Category: Social Science
Gifts from the Thunder Beings examines North American Aboriginal peoples' use of Indigenous and European distance weapons in big-game hunting and combat. Beyond the capabilities of European weapons, Aboriginal peoples' ways of adapting and using this technology in combination with Indigenous weaponry contributed greatly to the impact these weapons had on Aboriginal cultures. This gradual transition took place from the beginning of the fur trade in the Hudson's Bay Company trading territory to the treaty and reserve period that began in Canada in the 1870s. Technological change and the effects of European contact were not uniform throughout North America, as Roland Bohr illustrates by comparing the northern Great Plains and the Central Subarctic—two adjacent but environmentally different regions of North America—and their respective Indigenous cultures. Beginning with a brief survey of the subarctic and Northern Plains environments and the most common subsistence strategies in these regions around the time of contact, Bohr provides the context for a detailed examination of social, spiritual, and cultural aspects of bows, arrows, quivers, and firearms. His detailed analysis of the shifting usage of bows and arrows and firearms in the northern Great Plains and the Central Subarctic makes Gifts from the Thunder Beings an important addition to the canon of North American ethnology.

A Legacy of Exploitation
Author: Susan Dianne Brophy
Publisher: UBC Press
The Red River Colony was the Hudson's Bay Company's first planned settlement. As a settler-colonial project par excellence, it was designed to undercut Indigenous peoples' "troublesome" autonomy and curtain the company's dependency on their labour. In this critical re-evaluation of the history of the Red River Colony, Susan Dianne Brophy upends standard accounts by foregrounding Indigenous producers as a driving force of change. A Legacy of Exploitation challenges the enduring yet misleading fantasy of Canada as a glorious nation of adventurers, showing how autonomy can become distorted as complicity in processes of dispossession.

Masters and Servants
Author: Scott P. Stephen
Publisher: University of Alberta
"[Stephen] offers fresh insight into the path a historic fur trading business took to become one of Canada's most recognizable retailers." —Literary Review of Canada In Masters and Servants, Scott P. Stephen reveals startling truths about Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) workers. Rather than dedicating themselves body and soul to the Company's interests, these men were hired like domestic servants, joining a "household" with its attendant norms of duty and loyalty. The household system produced a remarkably stable political-economic entity, connecting early North American resource extraction to larger trends in British imperialism. Through painstaking research, Stephen shines welcome light on the lives of these largely overlooked individuals. An essential book for labor historians, Masters and Servants will appeal to scholars of early modern Britain, the North American fur trade, Western social history, business history, and anyone intrigued by the reach of the HBC. "Blacksmiths, bookkeepers, loggers, tanners, coopers, cooks, sail-makers, interpreters, surveyors, clergy, the list goes on as Stephen marches us through the lives of the early Hudson's Bay worker." —The Ormsby Review "Overall, the book reflects the work of a historian comfortable with the hard work of archival research and with an eye for detail and insightful quotations. In many respects, it does for Hudson's Bay Company employees what Carolyn Podruchny's Making the Voyageur World did for employees of the Montreal-based fur trade companies in recreating their values, worldview, and distinctive work environment." —Michael Payne, Prairie History

An Infinity of Nations
Author: Michael Witgen
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
An Infinity of Nations explores the formation and development of a Native New World in North America. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, indigenous peoples controlled the vast majority of the continent while European colonies of the Atlantic World were largely confined to the eastern seaboard. To be sure, Native North America experienced far-reaching and radical change following contact with the peoples, things, and ideas that flowed inland following the creation of European colonies on North American soil. Most of the continent's indigenous peoples, however, were not conquered, assimilated, or even socially incorporated into the settlements and political regimes of this Atlantic New World. Instead, Native peoples forged a New World of their own. This history, the evolution of a distinctly Native New World, is a foundational story that remains largely untold in histories of early America. Through imaginative use of both Native language and European documents, historian Michael Witgen recreates the world of the indigenous peoples who ruled the western interior of North America. The Anishinaabe and Dakota peoples of the Great Lakes and Northern Great Plains dominated the politics and political economy of these interconnected regions, which were pivotal to the fur trade and the emergent world economy. Moving between cycles of alliance and competition, and between peace and violence, the Anishinaabeg and Dakota carved out a place for Native peoples in modern North America, ensuring not only that they would survive as independent and distinct Native peoples but also that they would be a part of the new community of nations who made the New World.

Prophetic Identities
Author: Tolly Bradford
The presence of indigenous people among the ranks of British missionaries in the nineteenth century complicates narratives of all-powerful missionaries and hapless indigenous victims. What compelled these men to embrace Christianity? How did they reconcile being both Christian and indigenous in an age of empire? Tolly Bradford finds answers to these questions in the lives of Henry Budd, a Cree missionary from western Canada, and Tiyo Soga, a Xhosa missionary from southern Africa. He portrays these men not as victims of colonialism but rather as individuals who drew on faith, family, and their ties to Britain to construct a new sense of indigeneity in a globalizing world.

Diagnosing the Legacy
Author: Larry Krotz
In the late 1980s, pediatric endocrinologists at the Children's Hospital in Winnipeg began to notice a new cohort appearing in their clinics for young people with diabetes. Indigenous youngsters from two First Nations in northern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario were showing up not with type 1 (or insulin-dependent diabetes), but with what looked like type 2 diabetes, until then a condition that was restricted to people much older. Investigation led the doctors to learn that something similar had become a medical issue among young people of the Pima Indian Nation in Arizona though, to their knowledge, nobody else. But these youth were just the tip of the iceberg. Over the next few decades more children would confront what was turning into not only a medical but also a social and community challenge. "Diagnosing the Legacy" is the story of communities, researchers, and doctors who faced—and continue to face—something never seen before: type 2 diabetes in younger and younger people. Through dozens of interviews, Krotz shows the impact of the disease on the lives of individuals and families as well as the challenges caregivers faced diagnosing and then responding to the complex and perplexing disease, especially in communities far removed from the medical personnel a facilities available in the city.

An Ethnohistorian in Rupert's Land
Author: Jennifer S. H. Brown
Publisher: Athabasca University Press
In 1670, the ancient homeland of the Cree and Ojibwe people of Hudson Bay became known to the English entrepreneurs of the Hudson's Bay Company as Rupert's Land, after the founder and absentee landlord, Prince Rupert. For four decades, Jennifer S. H. Brown has examined the complex relationships that developed among the newcomers and the Algonquian communities—who hosted and tolerated the fur traders—and later, the missionaries, anthropologists, and others who found their way into Indigenous lives and territories. The eighteen essays gathered in this book explore Brown's investigations into the surprising range of interactions among Indigenous people and newcomers as they met or observed one another from a distance, and as they competed, compromised, and rejected or adapted to change. While diverse in their subject matter, the essays have thematic unity in their focus on the old HBC territory and its peoples from the 1600s to the present. More than an anthology, the chapters of An Ethnohistorian in Rupert's Land provide examples of Brown's exceptional skill in the close study of texts, including oral documents, images, artifacts, and other cultural expressions. The volume as a whole represents the scholarly evolution of one of the leading ethnohistorians in Canada and the United States.

Preserving the Sacred
Author: Michael Angel
The Midewiwin is the traditional religious belief system central to the world view of Ojibwa in Canada and the US. It is a highly complex and rich series of sacred teachings and narratives whose preservation enabled the Ojibwa to withstand severe challenges to their entire social fabric throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. It remains an important living and spiritual tradition for many Aboriginal people today.The rituals of the Midewiwin were observed by many 19th century Euro-Americans, most of whom approached these ceremonies with hostility and suspicion. As a result, although there were many accounts of the Midewiwin published in the 19th century, they were often riddled with misinterpretations and inaccuracies.Historian Michael Angel compares the early texts written about the Midewiwin, and identifies major, common misconceptions in these accounts. In his explanation of the historical role played by the Midewiwin, he provides alternative viewpoints and explanations of the significance of the ceremonies, while respecting the sacred and symbolic nature of the Midewiwin rituals, songs, and scrolls.

Between Consenting Peoples
Author: Jeremy Webber
Category: Law
Consent has long been used to establish the legitimacy of society. But when one asks � who consented? how? to what type of community? � consent becomes very elusive, more myth than reality. In Between Consenting Peoples, leading scholars in legal and political theory examine the different ways in which consent has been used to justify political communities and the authority of law, especially in indigenous-nonindigenous relations. They explore the kind of consent � the kind of attachment � that might ground political community and establish a fair relationship between indigenous and nonindigenous peoples.

A National Crime
Author: John S. Milloy
"I am going to tell you how we are treated. I am always hungry." — Edward B., a student at Onion Lake School (1923) "[I]f I were appointed by the Dominion Government for the express purpose of spreading tuberculosis, there is nothing finer in existance that the average Indian residential school." — N. Walker, Indian Affairs Superintendent (1948) For over 100 years, thousands of Aboriginal children passed through the Canadian residential school system. Begun in the 1870s, it was intended, in the words of government officials, to bring these children into the "circle of civilization," the results, however, were far different. More often, the schools provided an inferior education in an atmosphere of neglect, disease, and often abuse. Using previously unreleased government documents, historian John S. Milloy provides a full picture of the history and reality of the residential school system. He begins by tracing the ideological roots of the system, and follows the paper trail of internal memoranda, reports from field inspectors, and letters of complaint. In the early decades, the system grew without planning or restraint. Despite numerous critical commissions and reports, it persisted into the 1970s, when it transformed itself into a social welfare system without improving conditions for its thousands of wards. A National Crime shows that the residential system was chronically underfunded and often mismanaged, and documents in detail and how this affected the health, education, and well-being of entire generations of Aboriginal children.

Ampthill Armistice100 is a volunteer-led project to research and remember how the Great War affected Ampthill, and provide a focus for learning and reflection. The project has the support of Ampthill Town Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Building on Tommy's Footprints (2016) the project delivered from July 2018, leading up to a programme of events in November 2018 which tied in with the national tribute of "Battle's Over."
The project engaged with community groups, schools and the business community. The public art and events helped to bring the town together and attract visitors.
Remembrance Sunday 2018
A hundred years on the people of Ampthill came together with passion and in droves to mark the Armistice Centenary and remember in many ways.
Blessed with sun, Remembrance Sunday started with a huge, parade from the Ampthill Camp Memorial and down past Tommy's Footprints to The Cenotaph where historian John Hele read out the names of Ampthill's Fallen. Onwards through the Market Place which was dressed with flags and hundreds of vibrant, knitted poppies for an intimate service in the churchyard at St. Andrew's where the Revd Canon Michael Trodden presided at his final Remembrance Sunday.
In the afternoon there was opportunity to follow Tommy's Footprints and visit the graves of seven of Ampthill's Fallen who are buried in a quiet corner of St. Andrew's. The King's Arms Garden was open for peace and reflection, and many came to see the thought-provoking works of art.
In the evening Tommy's Footprints and the Ampthill's Fallen cross were lit as hundreds gathered in Ampthill Great Park to light the poppy-red beacon as part of Battle's Over. Bishop Richard read a touching 'Tribute to the Millions.' The crowd wend their way into the Market Place where The Ossory Pump poppy installation was beautifully under-lit; a hint of the church bells drifting through.
What a day! Thank you to everyone who made Ampthill Armistice100 their own. We marked the Armistice Centenary with passion and pride, and together we remembered.

Measure to ban slots in Pr. George's moves forward in County Council
By Miranda S. Spivack
A bill that would ban slots in Prince George's survived a key vote Tuesday when a County Council committee approved the measure — a gaming proposal that has renewed a long-standing dispute over what types of businesses the county should attract.
Jonathan Weaver, a minister who is leading efforts in the faith community to oppose slots, said the gambling machines would be harmful to the county's quality of life.
"Why should we have them dumped on the residents of Prince George's County?" he asked at a news conference before the committee vote. He said the county government should be seeking more upscale businesses that provide higher paying jobs.
The 3 to 0 vote on the bill, which was proposed by council member Eric Olson (D-College Park), came on the same day that County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D) stood in an empty warehouse near Andrews Air Force Base and announced that a Virginia security firm had decided to relocate to southern Prince George's.
Coastal International Security has promised to bring more than a dozen new jobs, as well as 40 to 50 existing positions, and is considering expanding. Retrofitting the warehouse will require more than 100 construction workers, company officials said.
"We stole and we are willing to admit that we stole a business from Virginia," said Baker, who has made economic development a cornerstone of his nearly year-old administration. Coastal has contracts with federal agencies to provide security, and the company will relocate its headquarters and training facilities to the Upper Marlboro site.
Baker used the occasion to say that he hopes to make Prince George's a place where the security industry would expand and feel welcomed.
But he has made no such statements about slots, which Penn National Gaming wants to bring to recently reopened Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington.
While he opposed slots as a member of the General Assembly, Baker would like the council to tamp down its opposition — at least for now. He said he needs negotiating room with state leaders on a host of county priorities, including the millions of dollars it needs in state aid for schools, and a new hospital.
"We have to have a relationship with Annapolis," said Baker, who is being pressured by Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Calvert) and House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Anne Arundel) to find new revenue sources to fund the new hospital and other county needs. Miller is a backer of Penn National Gaming's proposal to put slots at Rosecroft; Busch is not a slots supporter.
While the politically powerful faith community in the county is firmly against slots, Baker is also weighing his need for support from Miller and Busch, who can make or break his priorities in Annapolis. He also wants to attract upscale business with high-paying jobs. The county often has been a second or third choice for businesses in the region.
Local entrepreneur G Wheeler Jr., who lives at National Harbor, urged the county at the ministers' news conference to find other revenue sources.
"This is like environmental racism," he said of efforts to bring in slots to an area that he described as a place where "people are undervalued, underestimated and marginalized. . . . They are not trying to bring slots to Fairfax County. They are not going to try to bring slots to Montgomery County."
Undaunted by the critics, Penn National Gaming released a poll Tuesday that its lobbyist Gerry Evans said shows extensive community support for allowing residents, rather than the County Council, to decide whether the county should get slots. In 2008, five sites in Maryland, but none in Prince George's, were approved by voters for slots. The closest site to Prince George's is in neighboring Anne Arundel County.
The full council is to take up Olson's anti-slots bill in the next few weeks.
Four members — Olson, William A. Campos (D-Hyattsville), Andrea Harrison (D-Springdale) and Mary A. Lehman (D-Laurel) — have said they are backing the bill. Council Chairman Ingrid Turner (D-Bowie) and council members Mel Franklin (D-Upper Marlboro), Obie Patterson (D-Fort Washington) and Karen Toles (D-Suitland) have not taken a position. Patterson and Toles abstained at Tuesday's committee vote.

Joe Ledger
Read Excerpt
INTRODUCTION: THE WORLD OF JOE LEDGER
Joe Ledger was born in a diner.
That seems somehow very appropriate.
I was sitting at the Red Lion Diner north of Philadelphia having an omelet and (I think) my twentieth cup of coffee while going over notes for a nonfiction book I was writing, Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead. That book asked the question "What would happen if Night of the Living Dead were real?" How would people in various fields—science, medicine, law enforcement, the military, the clergy, the press, etc.—react, research, and respond? While I was editing, a couple of people started talking in my head.
Understand, if you're not a writer, then this is a serious cry for help. You put your shrink on danger pay and get lots of help.
If, however, you are a writer, this is another day on the job. You see, for guys like me, there are always conversations going on. There are scenes playing out. It's like standing in the TV showroom at Best Buy when every screen is playing a different channel. That's what a writer's head is like pretty much all the time. The imagination is a multitrack mixing board and sometimes you don't know what random elements are suddenly going to coalesce into a scene, a character, or a story.
Inexperienced writers often try to shut out those voices.
Writers who understand the somewhat eccentric nature of the craft listen for a bit, eavesdropping on the conversation. If it's just background noise—what I often consider "airport waiting room chatter"—then you close it out and go back to work on whatever has a deadline catching fire. If, on the other hand, it has the flavor of importance, then you absolutely must stop and listen closely.
The conversation going on in my head that day was like that. My gut told me that I needed to lean in and pay attention.
I had no idea who these two people were. Not until I started paying attention. It became apparent, though, that it was a cop being interviewed for a job with a covert Special Ops group.
The cop was a smart-ass.
The guy interviewing him was smarter, older, and a little scary.
They were talking about saving the world.
So, I took control of the conversation, as a practiced writer will, and I wrote down everything I could remember of what they said, and then I roughed out the rest of that chat. And I wrote a short follow-up scene, quick and dirty, where the cop is put in a room with a terrorist he killed during a joint police/Homeland raid. The dead guy attacks him.
And that's when I backed up and wrote something that I realized was the opening chapter of a new novel. What I wrote was:
When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week, then there's either something wrong with your skills or something wrong with your world.
And there's nothing wrong with my skills.
That was Joe Ledger. It was his voice. It was his world. And he'd reached out from some weird place in my writer brain and told me—told, not asked—to write his story.
Details like an actual plot, the names of the characters, the structure of the novel, all came later, but they came very fast. I told my agent, Sara Crowe, about this and she was very excited and told me that it was something she was certain she could sell. Mind you, we had no completed manuscript at the time. She asked for an outline and fifty pages. I slammed that out because I found that once I started writing the book that became known as Patient Zero, I could not wait to get back to it every day. It was the most fun I've ever had as a writer.
She sold it very quickly to St. Martin's Griffin and Michael Homler became my editor. He has since become a very good and trusted friend, and together we have worked our way through nine Ledger novels, of which Dogs of War is the most recent. By the time Joe Ledger: Unstoppable hits stores I will almost certainly have delivered a tenth Ledger novel. I've written a couple of dozen short stories about Ledger, and he's managed to show up in several of my other series, including my teen postapocalyptic zombie series, Rot & Ruin; my vampire apocalypse novels and comics for adults, V-Wars; short stories involving characters from my Ghost Road Blues trilogy; and more. He is ubiquitous in that he is a very difficult person to kill.
Joe is a former Baltimore cop who becomes a senior field agent for the shadowy Department of Military Sciences, run by the enigmatic Mr. Church. Joe leads Echo Team against terrorists who use cutting-edge science weapons to threaten America and the world. Joe is a good guy, but he is not a particularly nice guy. He doesn't play party politics and tends to err on the side of humanism rather than any political agenda.
Joe is, psychologically speaking, a box of hamsters. But his best friend, psychiatrist and trauma specialist Dr. Rudy Sanchez, helps him manage his personal demons.
One thing I've found particularly weird while writing the Ledger stories is that he's funny. He is, in fact, funnier than I am, and I write his dialogue. No, I don't understand that, either, and maybe it's best if we don't take too close a look at it.
Joe has appeared in novels, short stories, graphic novels, and audiobooks and is on his way to feature films. I have no plans to ever stop writing stories about him. I am as excited to write any new Ledger tale as I was the first time.
But I like to share. I was the kid in the playground who liked to let other kids play with my toys as long as we could all have some fun.
Which brings me to Joe Ledger: Unstoppable.
When Bryan Thomas Schmidt approached me with the crazy idea of doing an anthology of Ledger stories, I absolutely jumped at it. You see, I love the tradition of shared world stories, and of sharing story elements. I was introduced to the concept through the story cycles of two of my favorite writers from when I was a kid, H. P. Lovecraft and Michael Moorcock.
Lovecraft created his own version of the genre of "cosmic horror" and invited his friends to take elements of it and write their own stories. Since then, thousands of people have jumped aboard the Lovecraft express to write tales of what are variously called "Lovecraftian" or "Cthulhu Mythos" tales, and they include August Derleth, Stephen King, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, and … well … just the list of names could fill an entire volume! Michael Moorcock invited writers to tell stories of his bizarre Jerry Cornelius, a secret agent, assassin, and adventurer, and writers such as Norman Spinrad, Mœbius, Brian Aldiss, and others took up the challenge.
And so Bryan and I built a wish list of writers we thought would enjoy visiting Joe Ledger's world. A few of the stories are crossovers, in which Joe's world collides with those of other writers who have their own ongoing series. Some stories are set completely in my world, but bring unique perspectives and insights. All of the stories are absolute killers. I couldn't be more pleased.
So, if you're a longtime Joe Ledger fan, you'll no doubt find these stories very satisfying. If you're new to this world and, perhaps, followed one of your favorite writers into new territory, then welcome! In either case, buckle up, because this is going to be a bumpy ride through very dangerous country.
Hooah!

National Woman's Party (NWP), formerly (1913–16) Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, American political party that in the early part of the 20th century employed militant methods to fight for an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Formed in 1913 as the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, the organization was headed by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. Its members had been associated with the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), but their insistence that woman suffrage work be concentrated on the federal, rather than state and local, level led to an acrimonious split in 1914.
Both a new name and new tactics were adopted in 1916. The reorganized and radicalized National Woman's Party opted for confrontation and direct action instead of questionnaires and lobbying. Consequently, the NWP became the first group to picket the White House and frequently conducted marches and acts of civil disobedience. Hundreds of women were arrested and jailed for their protests, and, following the example of their British counterparts, many went on hunger strikes.
The NWP often found itself at odds with other suffragists. Adhering to a policy that held the party in power accountable, it denounced President Woodrow Wilson and all Democrats, regardless of the party's official stance or any individual's personal position on the suffrage issue. The NWP also opposed World War I, though many women viewed the conflict as an opportunity to show their patriotism. The party's radical methods had the salutary but unintended effect of making such groups as the NAWSA seem reasonable, thereby easing their work. When the Nineteenth Amendment was finally passed in 1920, however, the NWP was given little credit for the victory.
In 1921 the NWP was reformed and soon after began publishing a journal, Equal Rights. Viewing protective legislation for women as discriminatory, the group lobbied for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, first introduced in Congress in 1923. Inflexibility and opposition from feminists, however, gradually weakened the NWP, and it became a marginal presence in the women's movement.

Okla. woman hired as emergency high school teacher accused of having sex with student
Two months ago, Hunter Day, 22, was featured as one of 1,500 people in Oklahoma given an emergency teaching license due to a statewide teacher shortage.
Now, she is making headlines for a different reason.
Day was arrested on Wednesday after law enforcement found cellphone messages police claim was meant to entice a high school student for sex, the Canadian County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
According to the Washington Post, police used the boy's cellphone to message Day to tell her the boy was on his way to her home. She also told the boy to "hurry up" because her husband was coming home from work. When law enforcement arrived, they claimed to have found Day on the living room floor by candlelight.
"This is a classic case of a serious breach of public trust. School teachers are entrusted to protect and educate our children, not to engage in an unlawful sexual relationship with them," said Chris West, Canadian County Sheriff.
In a statement by West's office, investigators determined Day and the boy had already had sexual intercourse. Investigators also claimed they found text messages and nude photographs between West and the boy.
According to the sheriff's office, Day was fully cooperative, and admitted to having a sexual relationship with the boy.
Day was granted a teaching license only because the state is facing a teacher shortage. According to News 9 in Oklahoma City, Day was hired to teach at Yukon High School for having a degree in science.
According to News 9, emergency teachers in Oklahoma have as many 61,000 students.
Day was charged with rape in the second degree, possession of child pornography and soliciting sex from a minor using technology. Her bond was set at $85,000.
