#BLACKGIRLMAGIC - The Legacy Of Black Women And Why Marketers Should Care (International Women's Day)
#BLACKGIRLMAGIC - THE LEGACY OF BLACK WOMEN AND WHY MARKETERS SHOULD CARE
While reflecting on the contributions of African Americans to our culture and history, I found myself also thinking about the momentum of the women's movement. This past year has really brought women into the spotlight. Women from all walks of life showed courage and established a solidarity in sisterhood through vehicles like the Women's March and the #metoo movement. Collectively, women brought issues to the forefront that have long been on the back burner. Black/African American women are both in the forefront and the background with other brave women who have contributed to the revelation and discussions of the most sensitive topics, with the goal of pushing progress forward.
A Black Girl Power Renaissance
Recently, Black/African American women have experienced a sort of Renaissance within their communities as well as on the global and national stages where Black culture has been at the forefront of influence. This resurgence has sparked a renewed sense of pride with generations of Black women. Many would say this new confidence and time of celebration began with the election of former President Barack Obama, whose wife, Michelle Obama, presented a strong, elegant portrait of what it means to be a Black woman in America, greatly contrasting negative stereotypes that have historically plagued this group of women.
During President Obama's tenure in 2006, Beverly Bond established a special awards celebration for Black women called Black Girls Rock. Airing each year on BET syndicated television, this awards program was created to celebrate Black women of all ages who are spearheading social change and making contributions to Black culture. The show filled a void for young Black girls who longed for positive representation and inspiration in all societal facets of their lives. Additionally, Black Girl Inc. (founders of Black Girls Rock) spearheaded a women's mentoring program/camp to help pass on confidence and to inspire activism among younger generations. In the same vein, "Black Girl Magic" is a viral social media movement that was popularized in 2013 to empower young Black girls, celebrate their beauty and resilience, and to counteract the negativity society places on women within this community. Harnessing the power of social media, this movement highlights women who have contributed to or accomplished much in their respective fields. Yet, this revolutionary mindset hasn't stopped there.
Spearheading + Advocating for Social Change
Black women have been founders of some of the major social movements of our time. As mentioned in C+R's blog about #metoo, Tarana Burke founded this movement to bring awareness to sexual assault and violence, specifically within the Black community; the movement eventually transcended race, gender, or age. Another organization, Black Lives Matter, was founded by three Black women to raise awareness about the violence toward Black males in the US. This organization was formed in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Travyon Martin murder case.
And, in Alabama, Black women have come together to exercise their voting power and were recognized as single-handedly "saving America" from Roy Moore, a controversial candidate who was accused of sexually assaulting minors. According to news reports, Black women made up 98% of the voter turnout. Pollsters now estimate that Black women might play a critical role in the November elections this year as well.
These recent social and political movements build on a legacy of Black women using their voices to instill change for Civil Rights for the Black community and all Americans. Black women from the 60s and 70s, like...
Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to be elected to the US Congress and to run for President,
Rosa Parks, considered the first lady of civil rights and the mother of the Freedom Movement, she sparked the Montgomery (Alabama) Bus Boycott by refusing to surrender her bus seat to a White passenger, and
Coretta Scott King, the wife of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was a civil rights leader, advocating for equality for African Americans.
These women were the pioneers in the fight for civil equality and prominent figures of inspiration for the Black community.
Black Female Buying Power
Black women are not only making their voices heard in the social and politics arenas, they are also using their checkbooks to exercise their buying power. Nielsen reports that 60% of Black women agree they are more likely to purchase brands that support a cause they care about. Black women choose to invest their time and money in brands that really "get" their struggle, their values, and accurately depict their daily lives the same as they see it themselves (and not how society views it).
Singer, songwriter, Rihanna "gets" it. Rihanna listened to women of color aboutwhat they've been voicing to companies for decades, " I want products that show the spectrum of my community." She capitalized on an unmet need by launching her line of foundations and powders in 30+ shades/colors representing all skin tones rather than just the common few. Through this launch, women, especially with dark skin tones, who had previously been left out of the beauty conversation, were told "you belong" and that their money was valued (just as much as anyone else's). There was a ton of buzz preceding the launch of Rihanna's cosmetics company, Fenty Beauty. Once available, the product line was quickly sold out in stores.
Other successful efforts in connecting with Black women include the Ford commercial depicting a confident Black woman preparing to speak at an Expo and Northwestern Mutual's recent launch of its Spend Your Life Living Campaign where an African American couple identifies with the universal values of being able to give one's child more opportunities than one's parents had given them.
In contrast, brands like Tarte and Shea Moisture have been criticized for missing the mark in recent months, and therefore have lost significant revenue from this community. Tarte cosmetics recently relaunched its foundation line with only 3 shades that match well for women of color. Outraged women of color took to social media and have since boycotted the brand until they feel they are fairly represented. However, Tarte gave a swift apology and promised an expansion of their product line that would include more darker skin tones. Shea Moisture, a company whose heritage gleans on Black culture and was founded by a Black man, had a few mishaps recently with its decision to turn mainstream. While going mainstream is not inherently a mistake, leaving behind a core customer base can come at a cost. New ads depicted Caucasian models instead of the Black women for whom the brand was originally founded. This caused an outcry from Black women, who answered by withdrawing their dollars, causing the company to rethink their marketing strategy.
Be more inclusive, or pay the price. Inclusivity deserves a place at the table from the beginning. As a brand, it is important to start with inclusivity in your strategy instead of tackling it later, which can be too costly or too late. Even a popular mainstream brand like MAC Cosmetics has begun to show women of all ethnicities and skin tones in their ads, applying their new make-up lines to show that their shades work for everyone.
Onward and Upward: Don't ignore the power of Black dollars. If the premiere of the Marvel superhero movie, Black Panther, is any indication of trends, it shows that the representation of Black spending is steady and growing. With 192 million dollars in sales for its opening weekend, this movie looks to break the Hollywood stigma that a film with an all-Black cast can't have national or global success. In addition, the depiction of Black women in this film seeks to shatter stereotypes and shows Black women in a positive and empowering position. Images of Black women with all-natural hairstyles and as warriors protecting their people, even saving their tribe from the men themselves, was strategically made to empower and inspire young Black girls throughout the world.
Celebrating Black culture celebrates all cultures. Celebrating Black culture and inclusion can be a catalyst to make other cultures feel included as well. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for cultural and racial representation. Each brand and company and their particular contexts should inform how they go about addressing the impact of the Black consumer in their plans. What is undeniable, however, is that if you elevate the importance of people of color in your brand, they will take notice.

Q: Finding the newest value in a array of objects for a specific Id in a list of mergers I have a array of objects that consist of merges, towns that have merged into a new town. A town with id 0101 could have been merged with another town in 2014 and received a new Id of 0001 and a new name.
{
        "newId": "0101",
        "newName": "City of Grador",
        "oldValues": {
            //the "7101" is old ID and "Grador" is old name, the "8053" is old ID and "City of Hoffenheim" is old name, these two was in 2014 merged into the City of grador with Id 0101
            "7101": "Grador",
            "8053": "City of Hoffenheim"
        },
        "year":"2015"
    },

Now in 2017 the town of 0001 is again merged with another town and the new id is now 7005. This is the value I want returned or find the latest Id that can be connected to the original Id. But for some reason my code only return the first merge and does pick up on the later one. It is also a possibility that the New id is the same as one of the old ones(one of the cities in the merges that makes this new Id).
FULL CODE THAT RETURNS WRONG:
const listOfMergers = [
    {
        "newId": "0101",
        "newName": "City of Grador",

            "7101": "Grador",
            "8053": "City of Hoffenheim"
        },
        "year":"2015"
    },
    {

            "8053": "Charterby"
        },
        "year":"2015"
    },
    {
        "newId": "3005",
        "newName": "Zeah",
        "oldValues": {

    objectForNewest=merger
    Newest=merger.newId
    console.log(merger.newId)
    }
  })
  return objectForNewest
}
console.log(FindNewest("7101"))
//This should return 3005 with newName Halden, however it returns "0101" with newName "cityofGrador" so it only finds the first one and not the last one eventhough 7101->0101->3005(Zeah)->3005(Halden)

David Herbert Lawrence (* 11. September 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire; † 2. März 1930 in Vence, Frankreich) war ein englischer Schriftsteller, der als erster Schriftsteller von Rang in der englischen Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts aus einer Arbeiterfamilie stammte.

Leben
Lawrence war der Sohn eines Bergmanns und einer ehemaligen Lehrerin, die aus einer bürgerlichen Familie stammte und einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Erziehung ihrer Kinder hatte. Das Verhältnis der sehr unterschiedlichen Eltern zueinander war konfliktgeladen. Lawrence hatte zwei Brüder und zwei Schwestern. Er wurde im Geist des Presbyterianismus erzogen und zeigte als Jugendlicher ein starkes Interesse an modernen Sprachen (Französisch, Deutsch, Italienisch, Spanisch). Ab September 1906 bis 1908 studierte er unter anderem Pädagogik am Nottingham University College. In dieser Zeit vertrat Lawrence eugenische Positionen. So schrieb er 1908 in einem Brief an Blanche Jennings, wenn es nach ihm ginge, sollte man eine "Todeskammer, so groß wie der Kristallpalast," errichten, in der alle Kranken, Lahmen und Krüppel schmerzlos von ihrem Leiden erlöst werden könnten. Nach dem Abschluss des Studiums bekam er am 12. Oktober 1908 eine Stelle in Croydon bei London als Lehrer, wo er mit seinem antiautoritären Unterrichtsstil auffiel. 1911 erkrankte Lawrence an Tuberkulose und quittierte 1912 den Schuldienst, auch um sich ganz der Schriftstellerei zu widmen und damit den Lebensunterhalt für sich und seine spätere Ehefrau Frieda, geborene von Richthofen, zu verdienen.

Ab 1912 hatte er ein Verhältnis mit der Ehefrau seines ehemaligen Französischlehrers, Frieda Weekley. Der damals 32-jährigen Mutter von drei Kindern war er am 6. April 1912 erstmals begegnet. Nach unverzüglicher Anbahnung einer brieflichen Beziehung folgte er ihr Anfang Mai 1912 nach Metz, wo sie geboren war und wo ihr Vater als Offizier des Kaiserlichen Heeres Dienst tat. Dort sammelte Lawrence die Eindrücke vom deutschen Militär, die sich in seiner Erzählung The Prussian Officer niederschlugen, und arbeitete an Söhne und Liebhaber. Von Friedas Mutter wurde er schließlich akzeptiert. Danach reisten beide zum ersten Mal gemeinsam nach Italien, wo sie sich von Anfang September 1912 bis April 1913 am Gardasee und bis am 8. Juni 1914 im ligurischen Lerici aufhielten. Am 13. Juli 1914 heiratete Lawrence die inzwischen geschiedene Frieda in London. Beide lebten für kurze Zeit in Zennor, mussten aber Cornwall wegen Spionageverdachts bald wieder verlassen. Längere Zeit hielt sich Lawrence in London auf, wo er mit den Imagisten Bekanntschaft machte, besonders mit Richard Aldington, in dessen Zeitschrift The Egoist er einiges veröffentlichen konnte.

1913 lernte Lawrence in den literarischen Zirkeln Londons die aus Neuseeland stammende Schriftstellerin Katherine Mansfield kennen. Die beiden pflegten bis zu Mansfields frühem Tod 1923 eine allerdings nicht immer ungestörte freundschaftliche Beziehung. Die ambivalenten Gefühle, die Mansfield mit ihrem unkonventionellen Leben und Wirken in Lawrence auslöste, fanden ihren literarischen Ausdruck in seinem Porträt der Gudrun Brangwen in Women in Love und beeinflussten ebenso seinen Roman Lost Girl.

1915 lernte Lawrence auf Vermittlung von Lady Ottoline Morrell in Cambridge Bertrand Russell kennen. Die anfängliche Freundschaft entwickelte sich innerhalb von Monaten zu inniger, lebenslanger Abneigung, die auch in den Werken der beiden Männer ihren Niederschlag fand. So karikierte Lawrence Russell mit spitzer Feder in The Blind Man und Women in Love.

Seit Lawrence sich entschlossen hatte, sich ausschließlich der Schriftstellerei zu widmen, führte er zusammen mit seiner Ehefrau Frieda ein unstetes Wanderleben. Ab 1919 reiste er gemeinsam mit seiner Frau durch verschiedene Länder in Europa, wie etwa die Schweiz und Italien, sowie durch Ceylon und Australien und lebte anschließend in New Mexico und Mexiko. In Deutschland hielt er sich mehrmals bei seiner Schwiegermutter in Baden-Baden auf. Im September 1922 reiste das Paar in die Vereinigten Staaten ein. 1924 erwarb D. H. Lawrence im Tausch gegen sein Manuskript von Sons and Lovers eine Ranch bei Taos in New Mexico. Schließlich lebte er wiederum in England sowie Italien und Frankreich. Seine Gesundheit wurde immer schlechter; er wäre beinahe an einer Lungenentzündung gestorben. 1925 wurde erneut Tuberkulose diagnostiziert. Er kehrte daraufhin nach Europa zurück und verbrachte ab 1925 seine letzten Lebensjahre hauptsächlich in Italien. Seine Krankheit zwang ihn am 6. Februar 1929 zu einem Spitalaufenthalt in der Klinik Ad Astra in Vence. Im Alter von 44 Jahren starb Lawrence am 2. März 1930 in der Villa Robermond in Vence nahe von Cannes, im Beisein seiner Frau Frieda und seines langjährigen Freundes Aldous Huxley, an Tuberkulose. Frieda ließ später seine Asche auf die Farm nach Taos bringen.

Lawrence war ein äußerst produktiver Autor: Neben Romanen schrieb er Gedichte, Essays, Reiseberichte und Texte für Theaterstücke. 1926 begann er auch zu malen. Ein Großteil seines Schaffens hat einen autobiografischen Bezug und thematisiert die Beziehung zwischen den Geschlechtern. Lawrence weist dabei dem Erotischen und dem Sexuellen eine wichtige Stellung zu. Dies erklärt, warum er zu Lebzeiten als Autor z. T. stark umstritten war und manche seiner Werke (darunter auch seine Gemälde) als unsittlich verboten wurden. Sein bekanntestes Buch ist Lady Chatterley's Lover.

Literarisches Schaffen und werkgeschichtliche Zusammenhänge
Strukturbildend für die Entwicklung des gesamten literarischen Schaffens von D. H. Lawrence sind vor allem zwei tiefgreifende Polaritäten aus seiner Jugendzeit: Einerseits führten die unüberbrückbaren sozialen, klassenbedingten Mentalitätsunterschiede seiner Eltern zu kontinuierlichen familiären Konflikten, die nur gelegentlich durch die grenzüberschreitende Kraft der wechselseitigen erotischen Anziehung zwischen seinem Vater und seiner Mutter abgemildert wurden. Diese Konflikte versuchte Lawrence in seinen Romanen, Kurzgeschichten und in vielen seiner literarischen Produktionen gleichsam selbsttherapeutisch zu verarbeiten. Andererseits projizierte er vornehmlich in seinen späteren Fiktionen der 1920er Jahre die entstandenen Loyalitätskonflikte zwischen seiner übermäßig starken, ödipalen Bindung an die besitzergreifende Mutter und seiner verschobenen oder verdrängten Anziehung im Hinblick auf die unbewusst-dunkel erlebte, zum Teil von ihm unterdrückte Faszination für die männlich-virile Energie oder Lebensweise seines Vaters imaginativ in seinem Spätwerk auf jene erotisches Faszination, die die sozial inferiore, kulturelle Andersartigkeit seiner phallisch-maskulinen Männergestalten auf seine gesellschaftlich höher stehenden Protagonistinnen ausübte.

Dabei brachte deren Entscheidung zumeist gegen die soziale Akzeptanz und für den Außenseiter, wie beispielsweise die von Lady Chatterley für ihren Wildhüter Oliver Mellors in seinen wohl bekanntesten und zugleich umstrittensten Werken Lady Chatterley's Lover (1920) bzw. Lady Chatterley (1939), dies sehr deutlich zum Ausdruck. So wird die entsprechende Entscheidung der Protagonistinin von Lawrence im Text dieser beiden Werke als affirmative Bejahung des Lebens und regressiver Akt der weiblichen Selbstfindung dargeboten und gewertet. Die Freizügigkeit, mit der er die sexuellen Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Protagonisten in den verschiedenen Versionen dieses Romans behandelte, führte dazu, dass der Roman in England bis 1960 in seiner ursprünglichen Form nicht publiziert werden durfte.

In den komplexen Konstellationen der Romanfiguren überlagern sich zugleich klassen- und geschlechtsspezifische Aspekte auf einer strukturell tieferen Ebene, wobei Klassen- und Geschlechtshierarchien sich gegenseitig überschneiden sowie beeinflussen und damit ein wirkungsvolles Symbolisierungspotential schaffen. Diese Konstellationen sind nicht nur prototypisch für Lawrence' Fiktionen, sondern prägten in seiner Nachfolge auch mehrere Werke von jüngeren englischen Autoren wie beispielsweise John Osborne oder David Storey.

In gleicher Weise strukturbildend für das literarische Gesamtwerk von Lawrence ist ebenfalls im Sinne einer Gleichzeitigkeit des Ungleichzeitigen das kontrastreiche und konfliktträchtige Nebeneinander einer modernen, kapitalistisch-industriellen Zivilisation, der Welt seines Vaters, und der idyllisch-traditionalen Lebensweise und Zeitrhythmen eines agrarisch-ländlichen Englands, wie Lawrence es topografisch konkret in Nottinghamshire, dem Herkunftsort seiner einflussreichen Jugendliebe Jessie Chambers, erlebte. Lawrence versucht dies beispielsweise in dem dritten Teil seines Generationenromans The Rainbow (1915; dt.: Der Regenbogen, 1922) anhand des beständigen Schwankens seiner Protagonistin Ursula Brangwen zwischen rückwärtsgewandten Natursehnsüchten und vorwärtsgewandten Emanzipationsbestrebungen in der modernen Arbeitswelt literarisch einzufangen.

Dieser tiefenstrukturell angelegte Gegensatz von Zivilisationskritik und Lebensaffirmation ist zudem konstitutiv für das gesamte literarische Werk von Lawrence, in dem sich die radikal-fundamentalistisch begründete Kritik an der Moderne im Hinblick auf die rationalistischen, aber zugleich mechanistischen Allmachtphantasien im Bewusstsein der Individuen mit Lawrence' Orientierung an einer gleichsam pantheistischen Weisheit organischer Naturprozesse und eines leibhaft inkarnierten Unbewussten verbindet.

Dieser Zusammenhang findet seinen Niederschlag in besonderem Maße in Women in Love (1920; dt.: Liebende Frauen, 1927) in der Überlagerung von Erzähler- und Figurenrede in zahlreichen Passagen erlebter Rede, in der komplex verwobene Natursymbolik sowie in dem Bestreben nach einer Versprachlichung der tiefenpsychologischen Befindlichkeiten der weiblichen Romanfiguren. Sowohl in entstehungsgeschichtlicher wie auch in thematisch-motivischer Hinsicht bildet dieser wohl elaborierteste Roman von Lawrence mit The Rainbow eine Einheit, indem er die diachrone Perspektive anhand einer historischen Rekonstruktion der tieferen Zeichen und Codierungen des Zivilisationsprozesses mittels individueller Erlebniszustände oder Verarbeitungsmuster repräsentativer Charaktere in The Rainbow aus dem Jahre 1915 nachfolgend 1920 in Women in Love ergänzt um eine synchron ausgerichtete, struktur-analytische Diagnose des zivilisatorischen Verblendungszusammenhangs in der Moderne und ein Ausloten alternativer kreativer Sinnoptionen.

Die Konzentration in Women in Love auf die beiden kontrastiv angelegten Entwicklungsprozesse der Liebesbeziehungen zwischen Gudrun Brangwen und Gerald Crich in negativer Hinsicht und Ursula Bragwen und Rupert Birkin in positiver Hinsicht macht mit dem individuellen Mikrokosmos der Protagonisten erzählerisch zugleich die entscheidenden Prägekräfte des sozio-kulturellen Makrokosmos transparent und verknüpft insofern die kritische Negation der todgeweihten Dekadenz des ersten Paares mit der Affirmation der individuellen Kreativität und der alternativen Lebensform des zweiten Paares.

Werden wesentliche Motive und Strukturen des Erzählwerks von Lawrence bereits durch seine autobiografisch erfahrenen und bezeugten Adoleszenzkonflikte beeinflusst oder vorgeprägt, so wird sein weiteres literarisches Schaffen in wesentlichen Teilen umso mehr grundsätzlich bestimmt durch die engen Wechselbeziehungen von Leben und Werk, die in Lawrence' leidenschaftlicher Beziehung zu seiner Frau Frieda begründet liegen, die er 1912 als dreifache Mutter und damalige Ehefrau seines Universitätslehrers kennenlernte und die ihn fortan auf allen wechselvollen Stationen seines unsteten Lebensweges einschließlich seiner Reisen und Auslandsaufenthalte, u. a. in der Schweiz, Italien, Australien, den USA oder Mexiko, bis hin zu seinem frühen Tod aufgrund seines Lungenleidens begleitete.

Ohne den engen Bezug zu dem aus dieser Beziehung resultierenden biografischen Erlebnis- und Erfahrungssubstrat sind weder Lawrence' Versuche der Erkundung des Mysteriums der sexuellen Erfüllung noch der unbewusst-dynamischen Überwältigung durch das erotische Begehren oder die zahlreichen Variationen der internationalen Thematik in seiner Fiktionswelt, so etwa die England-Italien-Thematik in The Lost Girl (1920, dt.: Das verlorene Mädchen, 1939) oder die Europa-Mexiko-Thematik in The Plumed Serpent (1926; dt.: Die gefiederte Schlange, 1932) kaum fassbar.

Im Hinblick auf diesen Zusammenhang nimmt in Lawrence' Spätwerk neben Lady Chatterley's Lover vor allem The Plumed Serpent einen besonderen Stellenwert ein, insofern Lawrence in diesem Buch danach strebt, die Regeneration einer ganzen Gesellschaft auf der Grundlage mythisch-religiöser Kräfte darzustellen.

Ungeachtet der autobiografischen Impulse oder Erfahrungsbezüge vermag Lawrence es jedoch, literarisch seinen allgemein anerkannten Rang in der englischen Literaturgeschichte als bedeutsamer Romancier und kulturkritischer Erzähler zu etablieren, da es ihm gelingt, mit der kreativ-imaginativen Transformation der im Vordergrund stehenden Einzelthemen in seine eigene künstlerische Sprache nachhaltig die konstruktive Integration in ein umfassendes weltanschauliches Anschauungssystem im Sinne einer alternativen, philosophisch begründeten Anthropologie mit dem Bemühen um Antworten auf ein als krank und dekadent empfundenes Verhängnis der modernen Zivilisation literarisch eindrucksvoll zu gestalten.

Die vertiefenden Ausdeutungen der von ihm dargestellten und literarisch verarbeiteten interkulturellen Begegnungen mit fremden Völkern oder Kulturen und Religionen mit ihren vielfältigen Symbolisierungen der fremden Alterität als "natürliche Kulturen" und den Erfahrungen des Fremden als fremdgewordenem Eigenen begründen darüber hinaus die literaturgeschichtliche Relevanz von Lawrence' internationalen Fiktionen und Reiseberichten, wie etwa Twilight in Italy (1916) oder Mornings in Mexico (1927), und eröffnen damit eine fruchtbare literarische Auseinandersetzung mit Eigen- und Fremdbildern, die zugleich eine kritische Distanz zu den Wertparadigmen des englischen und darüber hinaus abendländischen Kultursystems schafft.

Auf diesem Hintergrund fungiert in Lawrence' eigenwilliger philosophischer Anthropologie, die er ebenfalls durch theoretische Spekulationen wie etwa in Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious (1922) oder Fantasia of the Unconscious (1922) zu untermauern versuchte, letztlich nicht die Sexualität als transzendierende Kraft. Vielmehr bildet sein vitalistisch-organizistisch interpretiertes Lebenssubstrat das eigentliche Signifikat oder Sinnzentrum. Die biografisch begründeten Deutungen individueller Existenz und Manifestationen von Sexualität werden so in seinem Werk zu Metaphern eines durch Mangel und Differenz bestimmten Lebensprozesses in einer dekadenten oder kranken Zivilisation, die durch ein blindes Bemächtigungsstreben die symbiotische Verwurzelung des Individuums in der lebendigen Natur durch die rationale Beherrschung und Kontrolle der inneren wie äußeren Natur verdrängt und auf diese Weise das Schicksal des Menschen beherrscht. Dem setzt Lawrence seine alternative Anthropologie der life-affirmation gegenüber, die nicht allein wegweisend die Würde des Menschen und seiner individuellen Existenz über die bestehenden Spaltungen und Entzweiungen hinweg als komplexe Balance von Körper und Geist, Natur und Kultur sowie sinnlicher Erfahrung und abstraktem Denken zurückzugewinnen versucht, um auf diesem Wege zu dem ursprünglichen Potential des Menschen zurückzufinden.

In dem Rahmen der diversen Einzelthemen, mit denen Lawrence sich in seinem Gesamtwerk befasste, ist letztlich vor allem sein Bestreben hervorzuheben, sich mit Leidenschaft in Naturvorgänge einzufühlen und kosmische Gesetzmäßigkeiten zu erfassen, der Menschen, Tiere und Pflanzen unterstellt sind, um den Blick seiner Leser und Leserinnen für die jeweiligen Eigengesetzlichkeiten dieser natürlichen wie auch kosmischen Fügungen zu schärfen. Aus dem spezifischen Rhythmus der von ihm dargestellten Erlebniswelt ergab sich für ihn nebst der literarischen Gestaltungsform des Erzählwerks zugleich die Ausdrucksform des Gedichtes, wobei er eine Kompositionsweise vermied, die sich den Regeln einer vorgegebenen normativen Poetik fügte. Geeignete Ausdrucksmittel fand er in seinen Gedichten vor allem im vers libre, wobei diese aufgelockerte Form der poetischen Darstellung es ihm möglich machte, seinem lyrischen Schaffen mit der gleichen Intensität Ausdruck zu verleihen, wie es ihm in den herausragenden Szenen seines Romanwerks oder auch in den grandiosen Naturbeschreibungen seiner Reisetagebücher gelang.

So bestätigt Lawrence in seinem gesamten literarischen Schaffen auch aus Sicht der zeitgenössischen Literaturkritik durch seine emphatische Darstellung der leidenschaftlichen Bewegtheit der innermenschlichen Vorgänge sowie der Leichtigkeit des Übergangs vom Seelischen zum Kosmischen oder vom Sittlichen zum Metaphysischen sowie durch die Weite seines Ausblicks auf das immerwährende Schauspiel von Werden und Vergehen immer noch seinen herausragenden Rang eines Dichters und Autors, den der renommierte englische Schriftsteller und Literat E. M. Forster 1930 in seinem Nachruf als "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation" (dt.: "der größte einfallsreiche Romancier unserer Generation") gewürdigt hat.

Catholic Encyclopedia – Saint Trumwin
(Triumwini, Trumuini) Died at Whitby, Yorkshire, England, after 686. He was consecrated by Saint Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury, as a missionary bishop among the Picts, and was consequently regarded later as the first Bishop of Whithorn, in Galloway. When the Picts reasserted their independence he retired with a few of his followers to the monastery of Streaneshalch, now Whitby. In 684 he was present at the synod recorded by Bede, known as the Synod on the Alne, possibly the same as the Synod of Twyford; and he accompanied King Ecgfrith to Lindisfarne to persuade Saint Cuthbert to accept the bishopric. The one charter attributed to him is "a clear forgery". Saint Bede adds that he spent many years of useful labour at Whitby before he died and was buried in Saint Peter's Church there.

InterMune tumbles as Q4 disappoints
Published: Feb. 7, 2005 at 4:05 p.m. ET
Ciara Linnane
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - InterMune Inc. shares tumbled Monday after the biotech company reported a wider-than-expected fourth-quarter loss and provided a revenue outlook for 2005 that fell short of analyst estimates.
Shares of the Brisbane, Calif.-based company closed down 13.5 percent at $10.15 . Volume of 1.9 million shares traded was more than four and a half times the stock's average full-day volume.
Earlier, InterMune ITMN said it lost $21.8 million, or 68 cents a share, in the fourth quarter, wider than the 23.3 million, or 73 cents a share, recorded in the year earlier period.
The bigger loss was mainly due to higher expenses, with the cost of goods sold climbing to $10.1 million from $9.2 million and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs rising 14 percent to $23.3 million.
Revenue edged down 1 percent to $39.5 million.
The average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson First Call was for a loss of 49 cents a share on revenue of 37.4 million.
Looking ahead, Intermune, which specializes in developing treatments for heart and liver conditions, said it expects 2005 revenue in a range of $140 to $160 million, below the First Call average of $163.7 million.
Costs of goods sold is expected to range from 26 to 28 percent of sales depending on product mix, while research & development costs are expected to grow 11 to 23 percent to $90 to $100 million. SG&A costs are projected at $85 to $95 million, a rise of 12 to 25 percent from 2004.
Deutsche Bank reiterated its "hold" rating on the stock with a 12-month price target of $12.
"We believe a 2.4 times multiple (at the low-end of its comp group) conservatively reflects risks associated with a lack of near-to-medium-term clinical/regulatory catalysts, lack of visibility on product sales, particularly Actimmune, and a protracted clinical pipeline," said analyst Jennifer Chao.
In the fourth quarter, sales of Actimmune, a treatment for cirrhosis of the liver, edged down 1 percent to $30.5 million. Sales of the company's other key drug Infergen, which is used to treat Hepatitis C, climbed to $8.2 million from $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Gucci to buy Sanofi Beaute for $1 billion

Utilization of any system resource is defined as the Ratio of Busy Time to Total Time of Observation.
Let us consider an ATM center with one ATM machine to understand the utilization. If there are 20 people coming in to the ATM center in one hour then the arrival rate is 20 per hour. Let us assume each person does only one transaction and it take about 2 minutes for each transaction to complete. Hence the ATM is capable of completing 30 transactions in one hour. The total time taken to complete 20 transactions would be 40 minutes. So the ATM has been in use for 40 minutes out of one hour window. Hence the average utilization of the ATM in the given one hour is 40/60 = 66.66%.
Utilization is always measured in terms of percentage.
The utilization concepts can be used across all the system hardware components such as CPU, Memory, Disk, Network.

Are the Kids Showing Up at the Border Really Refugees?
"I had a body cut up in a plastic bag left on my doorstep as a warning" just may qualify as grounds to flee.

Ever since unaccompanied child migrants became a national news story six weeks ago, many people have started asking: Is this an immigration crisis, or is it a refugee crisis? In response, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said last week it wants to designate many of the Central Americans fleeing regional violence and gang extortion as refugees.
The announcement comes amid mounting evidence of the horrific conditions causing so many people to flee Honduras, El Salvador, and parts of Guatemala: kids escaping rape, gang recruitment, and murder all around them, as Pulitzer Prize-winning author Sonia Nazario detailed in a chilling op-ed in last Sunday's New York Times. With this new designation, the UNHCR hopes to pressure the United States to give more immigrants, including many of the 70,000-plus unaccompanied minors likely to arrive at the US border this year, political asylum.
But if the UNHCR were to make such a move, it still would have no legal significance for the United States. So is it really that important? Yes and no, says Michelle Brané, director of migrant rights at the Women's Refugee Commission. Brané and I talked about what a "refugee" designation could mean, and other ways the US can help ease the pain for immigrants—particularly those who've experienced targeted violence.
Here are nine key takeaways from our conversation:
1. Casting this as a "refugee situation" isn't necessarily the important part.
"This population contains within it many children and mothers and parents bringing their children who qualify for refugee protection or for protection under international law. Whether you formally call it a 'refugee situation'—that to me is less relevant than acknowledging that this is a population that is being driven out of their country. And their government is not willing or able to protect them."
"Fifty-eight percent of the kids said, 'I received a death threat'."
2. It's not just general violence and unrest that's causing people to flee Central America and Mexico.
"It's true that general conditions of war or of danger are not sufficient to qualify for asylum. But the UN agency of refugees, in interviewing 400 of these children, for over an hour each, they found that 58 percent expressed a targeted fear. Not just, 'I was scared because my neighborhood was dangerous.' Fifty-eight percent of the kids said, 'I received a death threat.' Or, 'I had a body cut up in a plastic bag left on my doorstep as a warning.' One hundred percent come from a dangerous place. That we know. But 58 percent were targeted. That's the piece that people are not getting."
3. Using gang violence as grounds for international protection is not a novel idea.
"The UN committee for refugees has recognized for many years now that gang violence absolutely qualifies, depending on the circumstances, as persecution and as qualifying for status under the refugee commission. And the US has granted many claims. People talk about this being difficult to do. It is difficult, especially if you don't have an attorney. But children with attorneys requesting asylum are winning those cases. It's absolutely a grounds that has been accepted in the US. It's not something revolutionary."
4. Yes, this is a crisis—but we shouldn't throw our hands up.
"The numbers are small if you compare them to refugee situations worldwide. Like look at Syria. There's over a million Syrian refugees in Turkey. There's over 2 million Syrian refugees in Jordan. Those countries are tiny compared to the US, and the numbers are much bigger. It's absolutely our responsibility as the United States to manage this and handle it in a way that does not roll back protections. We have been the ones to stand up there and say to Turkey:' You've got to take these refugees'. For us to say, because of this small number, 'Oh, maybe we'll reconsider,' is crazy. It's absolutely manageable."
5. Very few migrants are faking persecution in order to get to stay in the United States.
"The US has excellent asylum screening procedures. The problem is, you need to beef up the system in order to accommodate these numbers. But that's something we need to do anyway. I know there's been a lot of allegations and concern that it's a system that can easily be gamed, and you can fake it—but it actually it's quite a rigorous process. There's several screening hurdles you have to get over, and then you have to go in front of a judge, and then there's security clearance."
6. And many of them migrate for multiple reasons.
"When people say they have family here, yes, that's true. But that's not what made them come entirely. Why are they coming now? A smuggler offered them passage to the US. Is the smuggler the reason you left? Part of it. But really, the reason you were looking for a way to come, again, goes back to the violence. Poverty, also. The majority of the kids coming also are experiencing poverty in their home country. Is that the main reason? Maybe, maybe not. It's combined.
"One interesting Vanderbilt study found that people who'd been victim of a crime were more likely to migrate than those who had not. It also found that people who feel their government is not responsive to their needs were much more likely to migrate than someone who's government didn't protect them. When you combine those two factors—both been a victim of a crime and felt their government couldn't protect them—they're exponentially more likely to migrate. It's always a combination of factors."
7. Requiring international protection, or refugee designation, for more migrants is the right start—but the US can't solve this crisis alone.
"Mexico also has to acknowledge that many of these children need protection. Mexico also has very good asylum laws on the books. What they don't have is the resources and the infrastructure to support implementing those policies. Frankly, I think one of the things the US should be doing, and could do if they talk about this in the context of a refugee crisis, is to provide support regionally, not just to Mexico but also to Belize, to Costa Rica, to Panama, all of the countries that are also seeing influxes of these children. Provide them with the support to implement their protection policies consistent with international law. And not all of these kids have to come to the US, right? The burden can sort of be shared in the region."
8. We don't have to wait to act until migrants get to our borders—we could process them before they leave their country.
"We've done that before: with the Vietnamese in the past, with Haitians, and with Cubans. The first thing that needs to happen is you have to set up what the criteria are going to be; who qualifies to be sort of preprocessed. You could limit it to kids with strong family connection to the US, who have been targeted and pass some sort of criteria. It can be done administratively. You do not need legislation to do that. And in doing it you basically cut out the smugglers. If you process the kids internally, they can get on a plane for $300 and fly over here—they don't have to pay $3,000 to a criminal organization. It really undercuts the smugglers and trafficking operation in a huge way.
"If you process the kids [in their own country], they can get on a plane for $300 and fly over here—they don't have to pay $3,000 to a criminal organization."
"If children see there's a legal way that's safer to come—without taking this horrible journey—maybe they'll wait a little bit. And at the same time, you're building up the child welfare system and funding safehouses and anti-corruption campaigns. Maybe they'll see things get a little bit better; I can wait, I don't have to leave today. You slow the flow at that end. Not just by deporting people summarily, without a hearing. If you do that, and that's all you do, they're going to turn right around and come back."
9. Even if Obama's request for emergency supplemental funding to deal with this crisis isn't perfect, it's better than nothing.
"While we may not agree with all the details of where some of the money is going to—it's sort of heavy on enforcement, in my view—there's no question that they desperately need this money in order to be able manage the situation and get a handle on it. Frankly, it needs to go through. Blocking it will make the situation worse. They won't have any place to hold these kids while they process them, they won't have money to process them and deport them, and they won't have money to put them on planes and send them back. So it's crazy that there's discussion about blocking it."
UPDATE, 7/24/14: The Obama administration is considering a plan to screen Hondurans under the age of 21 in their home country to see if they qualify for asylum in the United States, the New York Times reports. As Michelle Brané points out in the interview above, this would allow the kids to apply for protection without making the dangerous crossing through Mexico or supporting human traffickers. If successful, the pilot program might also be adopted in El Salvador and Guatemala. That the administration is discussing such a measure helps legitimize that the Central American children migrating en masse are fleeing threats of imminent danger. According to an early draft proposal, 35 to 50 percent of Honduran applicants could be considered for asylum.
