Inspiring a Community Into Action: Monday Morning Coffee with St. Joseph Kiwanis
Inside every city, there are passionate, hard-working volunteers who strive to provide services and support for their community. In St. Joseph, the local Kiwanis club members can be seen judging local science fairs, raising money to purchase coats for children in need and reading books in elementary school classrooms.
One thing that service groups sometimes struggle with is spreading the word about their mission. They also need ways to continuously add to their membership base. But when members are busy holding toy drives and stuffing backpacks with food for children, there's no one around to "market" the club.
Are there ways Kiwanis can start conversations about the amazing things they do for the community without spending too much time and resources? The answer is pretty simple. The secret to spreading the word is to start a movement that inspires action. Luckily for Kiwanis, movements are easy to start because social media provides fast, real-time opportunities to inspire people.
If you are not familiar with how powerful a social campaign can be, visit the Plunge for Landon Facebook group. You'll find a story about a five month old boy in Northwest Missouri who was diagnosed with cancer in October. In March, people from his hometown starting jumping into freezing water, challenging their friends to follow and posting videos of their plunges on Facebook. For each person who accepted, the challenger would donate money to a fund to help pay for Landon's medical treatment and transportation to his chemotherapy treatments. Almost overnight, Plunges for Landon became a pay-it-forward movement so inspirational and far-reaching that even governors have jumped into the Potomac in Washington, D.C. "Plunges for Landon" started on March 30, 2014. Within two weeks, over $64,000 was raised in his honor. There have been plunges in all but two states in the U.S and numerous countries around the world.
That's what you call a movement. It's the type of movement groups like Kiwanis could really benefit from. This year is the service group's 100 anniversary and what better way to celebrate than to welcome more members and spread the news about all of the great things they do. Kiwanis could really benefit from a "pay it forward" movement similar to the Plunges for Landon campaign that combines both awareness for their cause and an act of kindness that will inspire their community into action. What if they pledged to do 100 acts of random kindness in their community and posted inspiration on their Facebook page for others to follow along?
A quote from the 2000 movie Pay It Forward sums it up: "Think of an idea to change our world – and put it into ACTION." To start a movement and get people inspired about what you're doing, contact us at Susan J. Campbell Copywriting Solutions today and let's get started.

Like many authors of non-fiction, Napoleon Hill used real life experiences to illustrate the philosophy of success that was finally to be laid down, and become known as "Think & Grow Rich". During the 20 years or more of research that went into this great masterwork, he interviewed, and counselled with, more than five hundred of the most successful men in America. From these priceless interviews, he was able to reduce the mysteries of that elusive reality called 'success' to a set of known, workable principles that we can all take advantage of. Although the short story I am going to retell here occupies a single page of the book, you should not underestimate the importance of the principle contained within it. In fact, every one of its pages contains principles and their explanations, which are equally important to YOUR success in any field.
For the purpose of accuracy and to avoid any possible misinterpretations, I have lifted this passage, bodily and verbatim, with full acknowledgements to the author, Napoleon Hill. Here's how he tells it.
"One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by TEMPORARY DEFEAT. Every person is guilty of this at one time or another. An uncle of R.U. Darby was caught by the "gold fever" in the gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. He had never heard that 'more gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has ever been taken from the earth'. He staked his claim and went to work with pick and shovel.
After weeks of labour, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore. He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. Quietly, he covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Williamsburg, Maryland, and told his relatives and a few neighbours of the 'strike'. They got together the money for the needed machinery, and had it shipped. The uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.
The first car of ore was mined and shipped to a smelter. The returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big killing in profits. Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Darby and Uncle! Then something happened. The vein of gold ore disappeared! They had come to end of the rainbow and the pot of gold was no longer there. They drilled on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again – all to no avail.
Finally, they decided to QUIT.
They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer advised that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with "fault lines". His calculations showed that the vein would be found 'just three feet from where the Darby's had stopped drilling!' That is exactly where it was found! The junk man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine because he knew enough to seek expert counsel before giving up."
There was a happy ending for Darby however, later in life. In his later career as a life insurance salesman, he learned 'stick-ability' from the 'quit-ability' he had displayed in his gold mining days. He went on to become one of a small handful of men who sold over a million dollars in life insurance annually, but that's another story. Every one of the five hundred or so successful men, that he had interviewed during his research, told him that their greatest success came just one step 'beyond' the point at which defeat had overtaken them. Napoleon Hill went on to say;
"FAILURE is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach."
I've thought of that story so many times over the last decade, since I was first introduced to "Think & Grow Rich", when I too have tripped and been tempted to QUIT on something, or someone. The wisdom in that story floods back to me and I'm galvanized to push on, deeper and wider, until I get through, or around, the obstacle in my path. That's the magic of "Think & Grow Rich"; it stays with you like no other book I've ever known. The moral of the story is clear-cut and simple; it has no 'hidden' meaning. It is plain to see. Read it again and again and fix it in your mind so that when 'quit-ability' rears its ugly head in your life – be reminded of Mr. Darby, the gold mine, the fault lines and the junk man – and press on.
You may just be THREE FEET FROM GOLD!

Newcastle want Atalanta's left back Robin Gosens
By axadle	 Last updated Jan 15, 2022
Newcastle United are keen on a move for Atalanta left-back Robin Gosens and have already discussed a transfer with the player's agent, 90min can confirm.
The Magpies threw their hat in the ring for Frenchman Lucas Digne but failed to convince the player, who chose to join Aston Villa in a £ 25m deal from Everton instead.
Eddie Howe still wants to strengthen the left-back and sources have confirmed for 90 minutes that Newcastle have reached out to Gosen's camp to measure his interest in a move, and they have liked the response from the German.
Gosens would consider a move to Newcastle, which has promised to give him a huge salary increase from what he is currently taking home in Italy, but convincing Atalanta to sell will be another matter.
Gian Piero Gasperini's team is fourth in the Serie A table and in the middle of a real battle for the Champions League qualifier, and does not want to lose players of Gosen's caliber at this time of the season.

Instead, Atalanta want to welcome Gosens back into the fold after a long period on the sidelines caused by a nasty hoarding injury. They believe the 27-year-old's return would boost their hopes of securing a place in Europe's top table, and are prepared to try to price Newcastle off a move.
That's easier said than done given the money at Newcastle's disposal, and it's likely that Atalanta will have a sweet spot in mind when it comes to a fee – after all, Gosens has only 18 months left on his contract.
Toon boss Howe has already brought in Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood to boost his team's hopes for Premier League survival, and there are plans for a left-back, center-back, central midfielder and another striker to come in before the window closes.
Further talks are planned with Sevilla over a deal for defender Diego Carlos, for which the Magpies will have to hand over £ 40 million to sign.

I'm still not able to do much more than recap...waiting for sufficient brain cells to regenerate so that I can smack a few of 'em together and get some original content. That day is, unfortunately, not today.
We closed our last show on Tuesday, and sent everyone home on Wednesday. The boss and I took Wednesday off, too...I felt like I had been hit by a bus, and I'm sure that she did too. But I'm not taking time off until the beginning of September, so I was in the office Thursday morning.
So what did they get yesterday? Fiction. No real numbers, no concise verbage, just whatever I could manage to slap down before the deadline hit. Yep...made me feel more than a little irritated, and more than a little slimy. Rahree simply wasn't in the office yesterday, it was her evil twin Grumpy Bitchslewski.
But today? Today will be a better day. I'm leaving the overhead light off, turning my iTunes down low enough so that I'm the only one who can hear it, and digging out. I'm going to tie up loose ends, ignore the phone, clear off my desk, postpone anything that has to do with numbers (there are times when I'm a numbers whiz...but when I'm fatigued and punchy I can easily do more harm than good.), and cut out a little early so that I can pick up dessert for a nice dinner with the neighbors across the street.
beautiful, gorgeous, amazing weather for days and days...love it!


The newest beachfront complex in Laguna offers a complete flexibility for buyers with both investment and lifestyle options. Firstly, for investors, the developer offers them to include their property into their premium hotel inventory under their management and operation, allowing buyers to maximize returns.
Second, for anyone buying it for personal use, the developer provides an added dimension of flexibility, allowing owners to reside in their property on part or full time basis. And owners will still be able to access professional property management services and have their property exclusively rented out on a short term or long term basis.


I ought to be applauding proposals to make Oxford, Cambridge and other 'top' universities take more poor students by threatening them with millions of pounds in cuts in research funding. For the social elitism of universities like Oxford and Cambridge is a subject close to my heart. More than 30 years ago I turned up for my first term at Newnham College Cambridge. My suitcase was full of polyester suits purchased and lovingly packed by my mother. She herself had left school in rural Jamaica at age 14 and had not the faintest idea what stylish undergraduates wore.
My head was full of naive notions about the essential egalitarianism of British society, probably because the only newspaper we read at home was the Daily Mirror. The polyester suits went in days, to be replaced by cheesecloth shirts and jeans. And my innocence about the British class system went almost as quickly. It is true that Oxbridge still takes relatively few numbers of working-class students. But this is partly because working-class students do not apply. I have spent time recently counselling young black women from Hackney whose schools want them to apply to Cambridge, but the girls themselves were refusing. One said it was not 'diverse' enough for her. Another was being pressured by her mother not to apply because the mother did not want her to leave home.
Admissions tutors should make allowances for students' personal circumstances; a boy from a comprehensive in Brixton with three Bs at A-level may well have more talent than a boy with three A*'s from a more privileged background. But most universities are already doing this; it is in their interests to spot potential. To go further and force universities to accept patently underperforming children is unwise. The real problem is the school system, which has damaged the potential and study skills of far too many working-class children long before they even think of applying to university. Universities should not be penalised and their research work threatened just because too many schools are failing their pupils.
I went to university on a full grant. It would not have been possible any other way. If the Government was serious about helping more working-class students to access higher education it would abolish tuition fees, bring back full maintenance grants and make sure that more of our secondary schools are as good as the state grammar school I attended all those years ago. It enabled me to go up to Cambridge confident that my grades were as good as anyone's (even if my wardrobe was a bit dodgy).

SAP, Yale University partner to attract young people to cybersecurity

SAP on Monday announced that it will work closely with the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs at Yale University to develop cybersecurity talent and promote diversity in the field.
There's a pressing need to develop cybersecurity talent and attract young people into the industry, especially in the wake of high-profile cyberattacks such as SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, and Kasyea.
Right now, there are 597,767 open positions in cybersecurity nationwide, according to Cyber Seek, a job database jointly operated by the U.S. Commerce Department and CompTIA.
As part of the new relationship between SAP and Yale, the large tech company will sponsor the Yale Cyber Leadership Forum, a collaboration between the Yale Law School's Center for Global Legal Challenges, the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and Yale's Department of Computer Science.
SAP's sponsorship will include scholarships, funding for diverse groups of students, educational materials, professional mentorship and access to jobs and internships for students aiming to pursue careers in cybersecurity. SAP also plans to live-stream the Yale Cyber Leadership Forum sessions to the public, for the first time making it possible to view and participate in its educational events and discussions.
Elena Kvochko, SAP's chief trust officer, said the company's collaboration with the Yale Cyberleadership Forum aims to mitigate the talent gap from widening, as well as strengthen the industry by encouraging more diverse perspectives, backgrounds and skillsets.
"By supporting the forum via broadcasting sessions, we're hoping to reduce barriers to participation, reach a broader array of audiences, and open Yale's incredible educational materials to underserved populations," Kvochko said. "I'm optimistic that we will foster student engagement and bring diversity, creativity, and opportunity across the forum and to the cybersecurity sector."
Doug Britton, CEO at Haystack Solutions, said it's exciting to see leaders like SAP and Yale lean so hard into the cyber talent opportunity. Britton said partners from the academic world and industry will be essential for reaching the millions of people who need to come into industry.
"Still, more voices are needed to keep pressure on the imperative of getting more talent into the cyber workforce, immediately," Britton said. "Creating broad access to the industry could help break cycles of intergenerational poverty, while helping secure intellectual property and global commerce."

The Department of Biology offers a biology major leading to a baccalaureate degree with the possibility of receiving a concentration in cell and molecular biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, secondary teaching, or medical technology. The major is designed for students interested in cell and molecular biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, environmental biology, biology education, medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or medical technology. Separate specific majors for students interested in environmental science and medical laboratory science are described elsewhere in this catalog. The Department of Biology offers an accelerated 4+1 program (B.S./M.S.) and Master of Science degrees in Biology and a minor in biology.
At the completion of 90 semester hours, the student must have credit for BIO 150, 151, 152, 250, 251, 252, 260 and 261; CHM 110, 111, 116, 117, 252, 253; and one semester of calculus. Students not meeting these requirements will not be allowed to enroll in other biology courses until requirements are met. Students with more than 30 semester hours transferring into biology programs from other Bradley majors must have a GPA of 2.25 or greater and must have completed at least one semester each of introductory biology, introductory chemistry, and calculus. Students with 30 or fewer hours will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
In addition to the above requirements, each student must complete the requirements below with a grade of C or better in each biology course taken to graduate with a baccalaureate degree in Biology.
Students will choose a minimum of one course (with required laboratory) from each of the following categories.
In addition, students must also take two additional courses (3-4 credit hours; lab is optional) from any course in the following list: BIO 312, 314, 323, 324, 334, 361, 371, 381, 406, 408, 417, 419, 420, 440, 450, 460, 463, 464, 468, 475, 482, 484, 502, 503, 505, 506, 508, 509, 517, 519, 520, 525, 526, 527, 530, 540, 550, 563, 564, 568, 575. Students may take 3 hours of BIO 485 in lieu of one of these required courses.
The Biology Department offers the opportunity for a student to receive one of several concentrations that will allow students to concentrate or specialize in various areas that will better prepare them for their post-graduate careers. Specifically, the department offers concentrations in cell and molecular biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, secondary teaching, and medical technology. The requirements for each concentration are described below.
In addition to the requirements described above for the Biology major, to receive a secondary grades (9-12) teaching endorsement in the State of Illinois, students must complete the degree requirements shown above for the Biology major and also all the education requirements as mandated by the Illinois State Board of Education, which includes 44 hours of course work in the Teacher Education - High School Education program.
For more information, see Teacher Education - High School Education program in the College of Education and Health Sciences section of this catalog.
In addition to the requirements described above for the Biology major, to receive the cell and molecular biology concentration, students must have a GPA ≥ 3.2 in the Biology major. Moreover, students must take three additional courses from the list below, or two additional courses from the list below plus 3 hours of research at the level of BIO 485. Finally, students must complete a year-long cell and molecular biology research project. To complete the year-long research requirement, students will take 6 research hours, 3 hours of BIO 385 and 3 hours of BIO 485. Prior to graduation, the Biology Department's Curriculum Committee will review the completed research project to ensure that the students have conducted research appropriate for the concentration. Students in the cell and molecular biology concentration will also be required to have the second semester of Organic Chemistry (CHM 256 and 257).
For the concentration, students must choose three courses from the following list or two courses from the list and research. The courses used for the concentration cannot have been used to fulfill the requirements for the major.
In addition to the requirements described above for the Biology major, to receive the ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) concentration, students must have a GPA ≥ 3.2 in the Biology major. Moreover, students must take three additional courses from the following list of courses, or two additional courses from the following list and three hours of research at the level of BIO 485. Finally, students must complete a year-long EEB related research project. To complete the year-long research requirement, students will take 6 research hours, 3 hours of BIO 385 and 3 hours of BIO 485 or 6 hours of BIO 485. Prior to graduation, the Biology Department's Curriculum Committee will review the completed research project to ensure that the students have conducted research appropriate for the concentration.
In addition to the requirements described above for the Biology major, to receive the medical technology concentration a minimum of 12 hours must be taken; in order to be eligible for entrance to any post-graduate medical technology program, students must take Introduction to Medical Technology (BIO 141/CHM 122 - 1 hour), Organic Chemistry (CHM 256/257 - 4 hours), Immunology (3 hours or 4 hours with laboratory), Physiology (BIO 381 or BIO 384 – 3 or 4 hours depending on whether the student takes a course with laboratory), and Microbiology (4 hours, must be taken with laboratory to meet Medical Technology Program requirements). The courses used for the concentration cannot have been used to fulfill the requirements for the major. Students with a Biology degree with a Medical Technology concentration would be able to apply to any Medical Technology Clinical Program (most are 10-month programs) around the country and sit for national certification exams upon the culmination of the clinical practicum.
Note that the Biology/Chemistry departments offer a Medical Laboratory Science major rather than a Biology major with a concentration in Medical Technology. The requirements for the Medical Laboratory Science major are described elsewhere in this catalog.
The Department of Biology offers a Biomedical Science Major leading to a baccalaureate degree with the possibility of receiving a concentration in Pre-Med, Veterinary Science, or Biomedical Science Research and Development (R&D).The major is designed to prepare students interested in a career in medicine or other health professions, including dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, etc., or support development of professionals for careers in the medical and biotechnology environment.
An introductory business, economics or entrepreneurship course is highly recommended.
Students must take two additional courses with a grade of C or better from the following list of elective choices: BIO 312, 361, 406, 408, 419, 440, 464, 468, 482, 484, 503, 505, 509, 525, 526, 527, or CHM 360. Three hours of BIO 485 will count for one of these courses and is highly recommended.
* Students may substitute BIO 323 and BIO 381 for BMS 466 and BMS 465 respectively.
At the completion of 90 semester hours, the student must have credit for BIO 151, 152, 250, 251, 252, 260, and 261; CHM 110, 111, 116, 117, 252, 253; and two semesters of calculus. Students not meeting these requirements will not be allowed to enroll in other biology courses until requirements are met. Students with more than 30 semester hours transferring into biology programs from other Bradley majors must have a GPA of 2.50 or greater and must have completed at least one semester each of introductory biology, introductory chemistry, and calculus. Students with 30 or fewer hours will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
The Biomedical Science major is a stand-alone major for students who are not yet clear what area of medicine they want to specialize. The broad range of content areas and skills provided will serve these students well. However, students who have a career path may wish to choose a concentration. Concentrations in Pre-Med, Veterinary Science, and Biomedical Research and Development (R&D) are available. The requirements for each concentration are described below.
In addition to the requirements described above for the Biomedical Science major, to receive the Pre-Med concentration, students must take BMS 465, BMS 466, CHM 360, and two courses from the following list as their elective choices: BIO 406, 464, 482, 484, 485 (3 hrs.), 505.
In addition to the requirements described above for the Biomedical Science major, to receive the Veterinary Science concentration, students must take BIO 323, BIO 381, CHM 360, and two courses from the following list as their elective choices: BIO 406, 419, 484, 485 (3 hrs.), 505.

Students in this concentration must complete a year-long research project. Prior to graduation, the Biology Department's Curriculum Committee will review the completed research project to ensure that the students have conducted research appropriate for the concentration. A course from the following list is also recommended as part of their BCC experience: ENT 381, ECO 100, or ECO 221.
Described elsewhere in this catalog.
The Department of Biology offers an integrated Bachelor's (BS) and Master of Science degree in Biology, which allows undergraduates to complete their bachelor's degree, transfer seamlessly to the master's degree, and finish both programs in five years. Nomination to the program will be based on grades, progress through the curriculum, and progress on a specific research project. A research mentor must nominate a student to the program based on the belief that the student can complete a research project and write and defend a thesis by the end of the fifth year. Students are nominated during the spring of their junior year. Nominations will be accepted the fall of the senior year given a reasonable need for accommodation. After nomination, the student must follow the application procedures consistent with application to the Graduate School and Biology Graduate Program, with the following exceptions: student does not need to have completed the bachelor's degree; and the GRE score will be waived. Students must have a 3.2 GPA overall and in Biology; have completed 85 hours at time of admission to the program (99 hours if admitted at beginning of senior year); and have a thesis advisor. See the Bradley University Graduate Catalog for more information.
The department is characterized by a faculty of teacher-scholars, completely modern facilities and equipment in Olin Hall of Science, and a curriculum emphasizing undergraduate preparation for careers in the life sciences and the health professions. Independent study and research participation are a regular part of the curricular pattern for qualified students.
Each student is assigned a faculty advisor upon enrollment and should consult the advisor on matters of course scheduling and career goals. Cooperative education assignments are also available.
The following sequence of courses is suggested for the first two years of the undergraduate curriculum.
CHM 110 - 3 hrs.
CHM 111 - 1 hr.
MTH 115 - 4 hrs.
ENG 101 or COM 103 - 3 hrs.
BIO 151 - 4 hrs.
BIO 152 - 1 hr.
CHM 116 - 4 hrs.
CHM 117 - 1 hr.
MTH 116 (recommended) - 3 hrs.
BIO 250 - 4 hrs.
BIO 260 - 1 hr.
CHM 252 and 253 - 5 hrs.
BIO 251 - 3 hrs.
BIO 252 - 1 hr.
BIO 111/BIO 113 and BIO 112/114, or equivalent - 8 hrs.
Statistics: select one course from BIO 260/261, PSY 205, MTH 111, or ENC 310 - 3 hrs.
Additional hours in biology at the 300 – 400 level meeting the following criteria: 12-16 hrs.
Only one of the following may be used to satisfy one non-lab course in 3 above: BIO 230, BIO 250, or an approved general education course (BIO 300, BIO 301, or BIO 303).
Neuroscience is the scientific study of neural processes, structures, and behavior. It is excellent preparation for students considering medical and health-related professions, for those interested in working in biomedical research, and/or for students planning to pursue graduate studies in the biological sciences.


In the last year, I think I have learnt more about judaism and jewish-ness than in the last ten years! Last year around this time, I made my first ever visit to the contentious region of the Middle East. Starting from Israel, I then traveled to Turkey with the ability to compare the cultures across three distinct yet related religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Antonina Leśniewska (ur. 1866 w Warszawie, zm. 12 marca 1937 tamże) – polska farmaceutka, działaczka społeczna i oświatowa, właścicielka pierwszej żeńskiej apteki w Petersburgu, patronka warszawskiego Muzeum Farmacji.

Życiorys
Antonina Leśniewska urodziła się w Warszawie w 1866, była córką Bolesława Leśniewskiego, lekarza oraz Michaliny z domu Szeluto. Do 1882 uczyła się na pensji Henryki Czarnockiej w Warszawie, gdzie ukończyła sześć klas. Wtedy to jej rodzina zdecydowała się na wyjazd do Petersburga, gdzie ojciec pełnił funkcję wolno praktykującego lekarza. Klasę siódmą zaliczyła już nad Newą w katolickiej szkole średniej przy kościele św. Katarzyny przy Newskim Prospekcie. Będąc pod wielkim wpływem ojca, zaczęła realizować marzenie o zdobyciu wykształcenia farmaceutycznego. Naukę kontynuowała na Kursach Wyższych Żeńskich im. Bestużewa w Petersburgu. Po ukończeniu w 1889 kursów pracowała jako nauczycielka, a w 1892 zatrudniła się w jednej z petersburskich aptek.

Chcąc rozpocząć praktykę uczniowską w aptece, najpierw musiała najpierw uzupełnić wykształcenie o kurs łaciny, którego brakowało w programach żeńskich gimnazjów. W gimnazjum męskim, w którym zdawała egzamin z łaciny, była pierwszą kobietą w historii. Następnie rozpoczęła praktykę w rodzinnym miasteczku, w którym była jedna apteka. Jej właściciel, jako przyjaciel ojca Leśniewskiej, przyjął dziewczynę na praktykę. Po ukończeniu obowiązkowych praktyk Leśniewska próbowała uzyskać zgodę na rozpoczęcie studiów, ale władze petersburskiego uniwersytetu zgodziły się na to dopiero po kilku miesiącach. Pomimo przyjęcia, nie mogła korzystać z laboratoriów uczelni i musiała znaleźć mało widoczne dla postronnych pomieszczenie, w którym mogła prowadzić ćwiczenia, zaś na wykłady i demonstracje z fizyki musiała uczęszczać indywidualnie. Studia ukończyła w 1901 r. z tytułem magistra farmacji.

W 1897 złożyła egzamin na prowizora w Wojskowej Akademii Medycznej. W 1900, jako pierwsza kobieta w Rosji, uzyskała stopień magistra farmacji.

W 1901 otworzyła pionierską w skali Europy żeńską aptekę w Petersburgu, zakładając ją w gmachu Polskiego Towarzystwa Dobroczynności przy kościele św. Katarzyny w Petersburgu na Newskim Prospekcie. W 1903 uruchomiła przy swojej aptece Farmaceutyczną Szkołę dla Kobiet o dwuletnim programie nauczania. Dzięki kursom w tej szkole 14 kobiet zdobyło uprawnienia prowizora, a 184 pomocnika szych aptekarskiego. Leśniewska była ponadto inicjatorką powstania Stowarzyszenia Farmaceutek w Petersburgu (1905) oraz Związku Równouprawnienia Kobiet Polskich (1910). W momencie wybuchu pierwszej wojny światowej Leśniewska zaczęła działać na rzecz polskich jeńców i uchodźców wojennych (m.in. w Towarzystwie Pomocy Ofiarom Wojny). Zaangażowała się także w działalność polityczną, wstępując do Polskiego Zrzeszenia Niepodległościowego.

W 1919 osiadła na stałe w niepodległej Polsce. Zainicjowała działalność domu dla polskich repatriantów w Ciechocinku. W 1921 założyła ochronkę dziecięcą w Starej Miłośnie pod Warszawą (później przejętą przez Ligę Szkolną Przeciwgruźliczą i przekształconą w sanatorium). W 1933 powróciła do zawodu farmaceuty i na podstawie koncesji uruchomiła aptekę przy ulicy Marszałkowskiej w Warszawie. Placówkę tę prowadziła do końca życia.

Swoje doświadczenia na polu wytyczania drogi kobietom do zawodu aptekarza opisała we wspomnieniach Po neprotorennoj doroge (Nieprzetartym szlakiem), opublikowanych w Petersburgu w 1901.

Pochowana została na cmentarzu Powązkowskim w Warszawie (kwatera c-6-8).

Ordery i odznaczenia

 Krzyż Kawalerski Orderu Odrodzenia Polski (27 listopada 1929)

Upamiętnienie
W 1985 w kamienicy przy ul. Marszałkowskiej 72 w Warszawie, mieściła się jedna z uruchomionych przez nią aptek. Przy ulicy Piwnej powstało Muzeum Farmacji jej imienia.

Mammoth pillars, the Rocks, rise out of the sea at Hopewell Cape on New Brunswick's southern coast. The Rocks Provincial Park (established 1958, 120 ha) is located halfway between Moncton and Fundy National Park. Forests, farms, old homesteads, dyked marshes and now-closed gypsum mines are found in the surrounding area.
Located along Shepody Bay at the mouth of the Petitcodiac River, the Rocks have been described as giant flower pots referring to the trees that grow on top of the pillars. They can be viewed from the top of cliffs or, at low tide, visitors can descend the cliffs to explore the shore.
At the shore, the tides of Fundy, the highest tides in the world, ebb and flow, creating an extensive intertidal zone. The mudflats of the bay are a major stopover for thousands of migrating shorebirds, particularly sandpipers. During August, the birds feed on tiny crustaceans before they depart south in September. The forests of the park are part of the Atlantic Maritime natural region and are characterized by spruce, hemlock, white birch and fir.
According to Mi'kmaq legend, people were enslaved by great whales that once lived in Bay of Fundy. On seeing a chance to escape, the people dashed for the shore, but not fast enough. The angry whales turned them all to stone, creating the Rocks.
Geologists have another explanation. Nearly 300 million years ago, fast-flowing streams brought sand and pebbles from the nearby Caledonia Mountains. This material was deposited in layers and over time formed beds of conglomerate and sandstone. Later, the region was disturbed by the great forces of thrusting, folding and glaciation. The layers of rock were tilted and cracked by vertical fractures, now reflected in the rough rectangular shape of the Rocks.
Erosion by melt waters from the last glaciers isolated the pillars. When the last ice sheet retreated 10 000 years ago, cliffs and pillars became exposed to the tidal forces of the Bay of Fundy. Cliffs at the shore continue to be eroded, forming new pillars. Older formations are eventually toppled by the tides.

"Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded." And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, and said to Moses, "The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do." ...
He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three hundred shekels of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. There were six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.

In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord. The house that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house. And he made for the house windows with recessed frames. He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around. ... Share Your Faith Products
Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around.read more.
The porch which was in front of the house was as long as the width of the house, twenty cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold. He overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains. Further, he adorned the house with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim.read more. Bible Verse Wall Art
And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth." Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" ...

Elementary Probability with Applications
By Larry Rabinowitz
Chapman and Hall/CRC
Elementary Probability with Applications, Second Edition shows students how probability has practical uses in many different fields, such as business, politics, and sports. In the book, students learn about probability concepts from real-world examples rather than theory.
The text explains how probability models with underlying assumptions are used to model actual situations. It contains examples of probability models as they relate to:
Bloc voting
Doubling strategies in casinos
Airline management
Dogs resembling owners
Drug detection
Jury verdicts
Coincidences
Number of concert hall aisles
2000 U.S. presidential election
Points after deuce in tennis
Tests regarding intelligent dogs
Based on the author's course at The College of William and Mary, the text can be used in a one-semester or one-quarter course in discrete probability with a strong emphasis on applications. By studying the book, students will appreciate the subject of probability and its applications and develop their problem-solving and reasoning skills.
Praise for the First Edition:
"It is desirable that all citizens have an elementary understanding of probability [so] that they better appreciate the uncertainty that surrounds them. Anyone teaching such citizens should consider using this book because, through its applications, it conveys something of the power of probability."
—D.V. Lindley, Mathematical Gazette, November 2006
"This book was surprisingly refreshing and did a great job using real situations to motivate techniques for calculating discrete probabilities."
—Technometrics, August 2006
"The problems are graded from fairly straightforward to very challenging and the book is, for this reason at least, a welcome addition to the literature."
—MAA Reviews, October 2005
"This book would be excellent for a minicourse at a higher level of high school as well as a semester course at the college level."
—Larry White, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), October 2005
"The chosen approach is practical and entertaining. The book is a useful tool for teachers and anybody interested in basic ideas and applications of classical probability theory."

When I see someone start to smile or even cry, because a piece of metal has touched a nerve or sparked a special memory I am connected to a total stranger. When I hear someone say the piece we just delivered to them is the most important possession they own because of the occasion behind it, I smile. Our work is a journey and is a basis for a connection with others that we could never have imagined when we began nor ever want to stop. The idea that our creations will be cherished throughout a lifetime and by future generations of a family both amazes and delights us.


Someone was kind enough to tip me off to this having been put up on youtube. Utterly hilarious – and what an absurd wig they put on Mike. They all look so young.
What fun to watch. The cast must have been exhausted after performing that scene. They all spoke so clearly too (my hearing isn't very good, tinnitus & getting older means I often struggle to hear actors on TV & at some theatres). It's a play we haven't seen, so I hope the RSC do it again soon. Does Mike like watching his younger self on stage?
No! He refuses. Can´t stand it. And he stops me if he can help it. And yes, it was wonderful how people enunciated, wasn´t it? Now it´s like they chew words instead of speaking them.
Excellent version of this play. I believe I saw this whole production years ago on the PBS station here in Chicago.
I couldn't understand a word any of them said, but Mike sure does look handsome.
Really, honest to gawd, I did not understand one single word of what anyone said. I can generally get an English accent if the people talk slow enough, but this dialog was so rapid I was lost.
Gracious! I could hear every word!
When did mumbling come into fashion?
I don't know, but it certainly caught on. Half of British television is now done in mumbling- and it's exhausting!
Great fun. I don't think I've ever seen Shakespeare as a musical but it's perfect!
That was sort of a golden period of creativity in theatre. Between the RSC and the Glasgow Citizen's they redefined what theatre could be.
Yes but…how did all those Shakespearean actors learn to sing and dance?!?
Wow…I am impressed. I would never have guessed that any of the cast, Mike included, were less than professional 'artistes' as well as actors.
I recognize Judi Dench. But sheesh! I can't stand dialog like a battle scene. I'd have hated Shakespeare. Oh, wait. I DO hate Shakespeare.
Really? Why? His use of language is just incredible.
Ah, it's all about people and their tiny lives. Don't much care for people or being reminded about my tiny life.
Incredible language — for play — during the 1600's maybe.
If I tilt my head forward you'll notice the crimson tinge of the skin beneath my hairline.
You probably know already that homophobe Katy Faust has a new website; she now claims to be advocating for children's rights, but it's the same old gay hatred. Here is the link.
Yes, I've been keeping an eye on it. It's in essence a failed project, as it should be. In more than a year I think she's attracted less than 50 followers to that website's twitter page.

She has both an infectious passion for great documentary storytelling and a deep understanding of the content market. I can't wait to start working with her and building on the success story of Factual at BBC Studios."
Kate Ward commented: "Appetite for factual programming from both audiences and broadcasters alike continues to boom and I'm hugely excited to be part of Factual at BBC Studios as it is set to reach even greater heights. I am grateful for my time at Vice and proud of what we achieved together."
At Vice Media, Ward was president, Vice Studios, the international television and feature film production arm of the youth media company, responsible for the development, production, and distribution of scripted, entertainment and factual content. During her tenure, Vice Studios produced a raft of programming including triple Oscar nominated and Sundance Grand Prix-winning documentary Flee, Hulu scripted series Tell Me Lies, FX documentary series Pride, Netflix's Indian Predator and an upcoming documentary feature about President Zelensky directed by Sean Penn and Aaron Kaufmann.
Prior to joining Vice, Ward was president, International of Refinery29, the leading media and entertainment company focused on women, where she oversaw the company's growth and expansion, including the launch of Refinery29's first international edition.

A New View Into California's Kelp Forests
Satellite imagery is providing new insight into an important ecosystem just off the California coast
Sarah Zielinski
Scientists use satellite images of the kelp canopy (here, as seen from underwater) to track this important ecosystem over time.
I remember an analogy from one of my marine science classes, that studying the ocean is sometimes like trying to study a forest by dropping a bucket from a helicopter. It explains why we know comparatively little about ocean ecosystems, even when they're situated close to populous areas of land, like the forests of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) in the Santa Barbara Channel off California. These kelp ecosystems are important because they provide food and habitat for a variety of fish and other species. And now a group of scientists led by the University of California, Santa Barbara found a new way to study the kelp, which enabled them to look at long-term changes in this ecosystem for the first time. (Their results appear in Marine Ecology Progress Series.)
The scientists were able to use images of the area made by the Landsat 5 satellite from 1984 through 2009. (Scientists were not previously able to use the extensive collection of imagery because of the cost; in 2009, Landsat images were made freely available.) "Giant kelp forms a dense floating canopy at the sea surface that's distinctive when viewed from above," the researchers wrote. They used the imagery to document the changes in the kelp forests over time and found that, during most years, the forests go through an annual cycle, rapidly growing in spring and summer and dying back during the winter. In some regions, huge waves limit the kelp's growth, while in others they are held back by a lack of nutrients.
"We know from scuba observations that individual kelp plants are fast-growing and short-lived," says study co-author Kyle Cavanaugh of UCSB. "The new data show the patterns of variability that are also present within and among years at much larger spatial scales. Entire kelp forests can be wiped out in days, then recover in a matter of months."

Stuart Holman is a 1990 graduate of the Walton School of Auctioneering and he has quite an extensive and diverse background. Stuart spent 10 years in the music industry songwriting, arranging, recording and playing; specializing in rhythm and blues. This was to be one of the springboards to his auctioneering career. Following this, he spent eleven years as a blacksmith on the thoroughbred breeding farms surrounding Lexington, Kentucky, caring for special horses that belonged to the Queen of England, as well as Seattle Slew, a Kentucky Derby winner. Due to health problems, Stuart left his profession and made the transition to becoming an auctioneer.
Always interested in antiques auctions and flea markets, his passion began as a youngster. Stuart had an aunt and uncle with an antique shop outside of Washington, D.C. called "The Swap Shop." Stuart would bring his wares to their store on family vacations to the area, in hopes that someone would buy them. He describes his uncle as "an animated, gregarious guy who smoked a pipe and loved to haggle with people." That was very appealing to him. In later years, Stuart acquired a three-year position at a major auction gallery, which pointed him towards acquiring his auctioneer's license. This pathway has led him to his own very successful auction firm in Cincinnati, Ohio. His business specializes in paintings, art pottery, silver, porcelain, glass, musical instruments and items from the Victorian and Arts and Crafts periods.
The merchandise that comprises his antique auctions is acquired through the following channels: "empty nesters," dealers, shop owners, interior designers, collectors who want to upgrade their collections, and private individuals with an item or two that need to find a new home. He often works with attorneys and estates. Stuart describes his most outstanding auction as a dispersal of the contents of a fine 16 room house. He conducted the appraisal for the estate which included over 2,300 items. The highest selling item that Stuart ever sold was an Edward Potthast oil on canvas painting, that sold for $137,500.

Stuart made the statement early in his career that "if he sold what he liked, he wouldn't be in business very long." Stuart's passion is cutting edge modern design, and he has quite an extensive collection of Czechoslovakian Art Deco pottery from the 1920s and 1930s.

Stuart conducts two nationally recognized "Select Auctions" per year, in April and November. He also conducts estate, specialty and on-site auctions as they pop up. From personal experience, consignments are handled with high regard for ethical standards, and with great attention to detail. Stuart's staff members are all hard working, dedicated professionals, helping the operation to run smoothly. Marketing is handled with professional photography, mail and email databases, color brochures, large ads in major trade papers, an active website, and personal contacts with collectors and buyers worldwide. Prior to the antique auction, your items are safely and securely stored and insured.
For his two "Select Auctions," Stuart is connected to EBay Live, the world's largest online auction site. Through eBay Live, participants bid on antique auction items in real time, over the Internet. The strategic advantages of eBay Live include; no time constraints, bids can be placed in advance 24/7, there are no geographical constraints and the large number of bidders encourages more sellers, which in turn encourages more bidders.
The auction method has been around forever. Auctions can be traced back as far as 500B.C. An auction is a method for determining the value of a commodity that has an undetermined value or variable price. Auctions can be conducted with reserve or "absolute" (with no reserve). In reserve auctions there is a minimum bid or reserve price. If bidding does not reach the minimum, there is no sale. If an auction is absolute, every item is sold to the highest bidder regardless of price.
Stuart Holman offers other various services including, estate dispersal, personal property appraisals, consultation with attorneys as an expert witness and he also offers real estate through the auction method.
There are many benefits to selling real estate through the antique auctions method. There are no contingencies in the auction contract. The buyer purchases the property "As Is." The seller selects a date, and can plan from the sale of that date. Over the years, Stuart has seen a multitude of changes in the auction business. Influencing factors include the internet, our ever changing economy, personal debt, and expandable income.
hand decorated vitrine was sold for $13,500.
To have a successful antique auction, many factors have to fall into place at the right time. These are all governed by the expertise of the auctioneer. Stuart told me that within the first five lots of the auction he can "predict with virtual accuracy how strong the sale is going to be; whether people are sitting on their hands, or if there is vitality in the room." Stuart has mastered certain auction techniques that can get a crowd moving if things are slow; he knows more than one "chant," and he will break into a different chant in order to liven things up. Sometimes he will physically change position by moving off of the podium, and begin walking around the room, just to hold bidders interest. Towards the end of the sale, he will turn his microphone off and interact more closely with the audience to keep them acknowledging their bids in a way whereby each person feels a "specialness" just being present at his sales. By setting a fast pace and using quick wit, Stuart creates an entertaining evening for all!

What actually happens at an auction? Most auctions throughout the country contain the same general elements. The first and perhaps the most important is the preview. This is a time prior to the start of the auction when potential buyers may inspect the items offered in the auction. Since auctions offer no guarantees, it is imperative that auction attendees use this time wisely to determine the items they want to bid on, and how much they are willing to spend.
The next major event of the auction is the actual start of the auction. At this time the auctioneer will introduce himself and his staff and explain the terms and conditions of the sale. The terms and conditions will most likely include the fact that items in the auction are sold "as is, where is" with no guarantee. Other terms may include, forms of payment accepted, the fact that bidders must be registered, when pick-ups may be made, payment of sales tax at the auction, and so forth. Be patient and stay focused, there will be some bargains at every antique auction. Let them be yours!
There is the thrill of the hunt! Hunting is as old as mankind, and his quest for whatever he wanted; food, shelter, tools, weapons, a mate. In our society today, where everything is readily available, most people know nothing about hunting. Auctions offer a treasure hunt! The array of goods to be found provides the hunter with plenty of action and excitement!
The adjective that best describes the offerings at an auction is "unique." When pieces are unique, desirable or otherwise valuable, eager bidders compete vigorously for them. These are the treasures that shine in many auctions. It is safe to say that there are thousands upon thousands of one-of-a-kind items at auctions. Objects you will not ever find in a suburban strip mall, you never knew you wanted, and suddenly you cannot live without them!
Auctions offer a great deal of value. Whether you are looking for your next antique or house to put it in, there is no place like a live auction to get a great deal! If you love Victoriana, now is the time to buy, because of the softness of the market. Quality Victorian furniture has never been cheaper than in today's auction marketplace. There is nothing like the thrill of the chase at an auction. If you are a sports fan, you know the feeling when the game is on the line and it is do or die for your team. Your palms sweat as the excitement begins!
Stuart offers words to the wise to anyone thinking of becoming an auctioneer, "What makes a good auctioneer," he says, "is honesty, treating your clients fairly, doing business ethically and lots of hard work!" Anyone who chooses to participate in one of Stuart Holman's auctions will have auction stories to tell and relics of a lifetime to cherish! Check Stuart Holman's web site for upcoming details for his antique auctions. You won't want to miss it!
