The Story Behind CA's Joan Shaw Herman Distinguished Service Award
On April 22, 2022—Concord Academy's 100th birthday—the CA community bestowed on Dr. Adnan Zubcevic '75 the Centennial Joan Shaw Herman Distinguished Service Award for his lifetime of advocacy for immigrants and refugees and care for their mental health. This award was first given to Joan Shaw Herman '46 herself, posthumously, in 1976, when the Alumnae/i Association established her as an inspiring figure for generations to come.
Herman, who was paralyzed after contracting polio the summer after her graduation from CA, continued to express herself artistically and worked to improve the lives of other individuals with physical disabilities. Her story speaks to the power that resilience, generosity, and an enduring desire to make life better for others can have, and why this award is so important at Concord Academy. Each year this award is presented, the CA community holds up a new example of what it means to honor CA's mission as we each cultivate empathy, integrity, and responsibility within ourselves to build a more just and sustainable future.
Joan Shaw Herman's Story
Who was Joan Shaw Herman '46? When this young woman graduated from Concord Academy, her greatest talents were writing and painting, and she had a promising future. She had been accepted at Wellesley College and was looking forward to first spending the summer working at an American Friends Service Committee Camp. And she did that wholeheartedly, throwing herself into digging ditches and cutting down trees. Never wanting to waste a minute of living on sleep, Joan stayed up late each night, talking with her fellow workers, and, unfortunately, swimming in a contaminated river. Despite her youth and bountiful energy, she wasn't immune to disease; by the end of the summer, polio had left Herman paralyzed from the neck down.
Instead of matriculating at Wellesley, she entered the New Britain Memorial Hospital for the Chronically Ill in Connecticut. There she lived for most of her life thereafter, confined within an iron lung, a full-body-encasing tank respirator that was necessary to support her breathing. But Herman used her confinement for religious study. What she might have viewed as the end of her life prompted her to discover new adaptations as well as to turn her attention to improving the lives of others. As she said, she believed that "selfishness and self-indulgence are our only true limitations and prisons."
After she was hospitalized, Herman began taking a correspondence course in journalism and creative writing. Using a stick held between her teeth, she learned to type her own essays, poetry, and letters to friends on an electric typewriter. She similarly resumed painting, holding the brush in her mouth.
Herman left a lasting influence through her work on behalf of others with disabilities. In 1995, she founded New Horizons, a fellowship of individuals with physical disabilities, who were nevertheless devoted to adventuresome living. She later became the vice president of its board and editor of its publications. Herman and her colleagues created a program to assist fellow individuals with disabilities in leading challenging, productive, and dynamic lives—a program that eventually grew into the New Horizons residential community in Unionville, Conn., which continues to support the independence of its residents in self-directed, apartment-style living.
Herman kept in touch with Concord Academy throughout her life and often invited CA students to visit Memorial Hospital. CA also published her poems in its bulletins and magazine on several occasions, and her essays "Quiet Places" and "We Must Look Around Us in Awareness" reflect her insight and equanimity.
"Christmastide" was painted by Joan Shaw Herman '46 and copied from a color photo taken by Elizabeth Wheeler. It was painted with a brush held in her teeth and was begun March 1959 and finished October 1960.
The Establishment of the Award
After Herman passed away in 1975, the Executive Committee of the Alumnae/i Association found a way for Herman, and her inspiring example, to live on at CA. When they established the award the following year, they specified that it would not be given for service to Concord Academy; all other criteria were left undefined. Thus, many have received the distinction for their professional work, others for volunteer service, in a variety of fields.
The Joan Shaw Herman Award testifies to a common value shared by the Concord Academy community. The alumnae/i who have received the award since Herman herself did serve as inspirations for leading lives that benefit others.
In Service of Sustainability
Since Concord Academy first honored Herman with this award, 41 individuals have been given this distinction. Each have their own remarkable life stories—stories of service to others, and, in many cases, of service to our earth. Indeed, care for people, especially underprivileged populations, and the pursuit of environmental justice are often intertwined.
As Concord Academy prepares to celebrate its 100th birthday with a focus on service and sustainability, we also recognize several alumnae/i who have received the Joan Shaw Herman Award for their work to protect and sustain our natural environment. These are just some of those individuals:
In 2000, attorney Deborah Ham '55 received the award posthumously for her efforts to save Pinto Creek in Arizona, joining with the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society, America Rivers, and a band of concerned citizens to preserve it from copper mining, up to the hour of her sudden death in 1998.
In 2006, Victoria Post Ranney '56 was honored for developing a planned community, Prairie Crossing in Grayslake, Ill., that actively promotes the principles of environmental protection, energy conservation, and racial and economic diversity.
In 2007, Katharine Muller Bullitt '42 received the award for her lifelong dedication to social activism. In her work as a volunteer and a board member, she addressed a wide range of issues including civil rights, quality integrated education, women's rights, peace and international understanding, and environmental protection of the Pacific Northwest.
In 2014, the award was given to Robin Alden '69 in recognition of a successful new model for managing near-shore fisheries, which aligned community organizing with the latest scientific research. She observed that fishing is the "perfect meeting of environment and economics: If it is done right, it can sustain communities forever."
CA Alums Contribute Lively Literary Conversation to Concord Festival of Authors
On October 20, a special literary reunion took place at CA as part of the Concord Festival of Authors. Publisher Susan Knopf '74 moderated a discussion among authors Julia Glass '74, Susan Minot '74, and Ruth Ozeki '74. Between reflections on their youthful days at Concord Academy and their writing process today, the evening's talk was lively indeed.

Molecular surveillance of influenza viruses is essential for early detection of novel variants. The aim of the present study was to analyze the hemagglutinin gene of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) viruses circulating during the 2017 season. To investigate the genetic diversity of hemagglutinin gene of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) viruses from 2017 season, ten samples from each subtype were sequenced and analyzed. The season was predominated by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses. Ten samples were sequenced from each subtype and all sequenced influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) viruses belonged to clades 6B.1 and 3C.2a, respectively. Sequence analysis of H1 gene in comparison to 2010–2016 vaccine strain showed mutations K166Q and S188T (K180Q and S202T here) that most likely resulted in antigenic drift and emergence of variant viruses. H3 gene substitutions N137K, N187K, I422V, and G500E that define clade 3C.2a1 were detected during analysis of sequences in comparison to 2017–2018 vaccine strain of northern hemisphere. These substitutions contributed to the change of WHO's recommendation of the 2018–2019 vaccine strain for northern hemisphere. The results of this study provide insights about the continuous genetic variability of the HA gene.

Check Mate: The Female Pawns of Richard III and House of Cards
The character of Richard III, the title character of William Shakespeare's time honored tragedy, has long been regarded as one of history's classic examples of a villain of all-encompassing evil and literature's most admired anti-hero. Recently, however, this character has been garnering comparisons in contemporary works of film and television, namely, the character of Frank Underwood in the Netflix original series, House of Cards. After being denied the U.S. Secretary of State position by the recently elected President Garret Walker, Frank Underwood utilizes his position as the Whip Congressman to dismantle the lives and careers of a variety of notable Congressmen and governmental heads — eventually attaining the Vice President position for himself after manipulating his predecessor into resigning his seat. It's interesting to note that, while both Richard and Frank share deep similarities in their thirst for power and eagerness to tackle any and all opposition in their pursuits, both men also share similar attitudes when confronted by women of status and power. Both men exhibit cunning manipulatory skills and a diminished consciousness when their pursuits are being threatened, they undertake these procedures with secretive, behind the curtain techniques that, in a sense, leave their victims blindsided by their endeavors. While both men as well as women fall victim to both men's plots it is the nature by which they approach the two genders that varies. The supporting cast of men in both works are regarded as worthy adversaries to both Richard and Frank; women however are treated as throwaways and pawns, dispensable and non-threatening despite the power they hold. While one may attribute this prejudice towards women in Richard III, simply as a conformation to the societal norms of the medieval era, it can be argued that Richard, as well as Frank's, attitudes towards women in power stem from their own sexual rejections and insecurities.
The first example of Richard's interaction with women comes during Act I, Scene 2 when he approaches Lady Anne with a proposal of marriage in order to legitimate and strengthen his pursuit to the throne. Though critics argue whether Anne's submission to Richard was based on her own naivety, distorted lust, or even her political ambitions, the manner by which Richard courted her was indifferent to any of her feelings. As she exits the scene, Richard exclaims, "Was ever woman in this humor wooed? / Was ever woman in this humor won? / I'll have her, but I will not keep her long" (Shakespeare 26), as if it was her privilege to have been "wooed" by the very man who killed her husband. It's evident through his initial meeting with a woman in this scene that Richard would go on to regard them as detached entities, objects used solely as cogs in his political machinations. The backlash of this approach is visible for in Act IV, Scene 1 Lady Anne admits that "When thou wed'st, let sorrow haunt thy bed, / And be thy wife, if any be so mad, / More miserable by the life of thee / Than thou hast made me by my dear lord's death" (Shakespeare 131). The lamentations of Anne emphasize the destructive force Richard has asserted himself as, delivering only further despair to a woman who has already lost everything. Anne eventually recognizes in the same scene that Richard's "honey words" (Shakespeare 131) were nothing more than calculated and empty promises delivered only as necessary steps that Richard had to take to propel himself to the throne. For as his coronation neared, Anne profoundly reflects that Richard will now "no doubt shortly be rid of me" (Shakespeare 131). It should come as no surprise that Anne was used as a political stepping stone rather than a legitimate romantic interest for, throughout the play, Richard was totally enveloped in his quest for ascendancy, the sheer cruelty he approached Anne is distinct. For though Richard was equally willing to use men of power in order to fulfill his goals, he treated them as equals, never revealing any indication that they were being used. For example, his ally Buckingham lacked the high birth necessary to warrant the esteem he received from Richard however he was still treated as a genuine friend of Richard's for the skills of espionage and diplomacy he was able to provide. Though Buckingham eventually was killed by Richard for accusations of treachery, the treatment he received from Richard while he was still of use is wholly distinct from the treatment Anne and other women received.
Similarly, Frank Underwood also approached women as objects of use rather than people of legitimate status and power. Since House of Cards takes place in contemporary America however, it was necessary for Frank to be less blatant in his prejudice and was forced to contend with woman who potentially bore equal or greater power than him in the workplace. In regards to his male colleagues, Frank explained his strategies to "latch on to [them] early and make [himself] vital" (Chapter 1 House of Cards) in order to put himself in a position of profitable gain. On paper, Frank's position of Whip Congressman isn't exactly impressive with little distinguishing him from a regular Congressman. When confronted with women in positions of power however, he often displays a rather arrogant and misogynist persona to compensate for his inferiority. Frank often found himself in frequent collaboration with the President's Chief of Staff Linda Vazquez who he frequently reminds "I got you your job" (Chapter 1 House of Cards), as if to compensate for their marginal differences in rank despite her being a women. He even goes on to assert that he deliberately chose her based solely on her minority status rather than her professional acumen when during one of his many Ricardian-like soliloquies he recounts that Vazquez is "A woman, check. A Latina, check… [she's] of great use to me" (Chapter 1, House of Cards). When Linda makes moves towards amnesty to compensate for her administration's change of heart regarding Frank's promised Secretary of State position, she offers him tickets to the opera which he graciously accepts. Breaking the fourth wall again however and speaking directly towards the audience, Frank bitterly exclaims that he is no "whore in post war Berlin salivating over free stockings and chocolates," instead he insists that "what she's asking will cost far more than that" (Chapter 1, House of Cards) — implying that she should be grateful to even work with him despite her higher position. His prejudice extends beyond the workplace however for, when his own wife's foundation advocating for clean water technology in impoverished regions of Africa conflicted with his own political goals, he was quick to prioritize his own initiatives and halt hers for he insisted "Your work is a hobby…what is it's worth?" (Chapter 7, House of Cards).
The misogyny exhibited by both men should not be attributed solely to pure prejudice. In the examples of Richard and Frank, one can assert that a distorted sexual identity has catalyzed their mistreatment of women as a means to cope with their experiences of rejection and repression of sexual desires. In his opening soliloquy, Richard explains that he entered "Into this breathing world, scarce half made up / (And that so lamely and unfashionable / That dogs bark at me as I halt by them)" (Shakespeare 5), revealing a profound insecurity that Richard has in his appearance. With the persistence of this insecurity throughout his life however, he has accepted that he "cannot prove a lover" (Shakespeare 5) and thus has no choice but "to prove a villain" (Shakespeare 5). Therefore, to distance himself from confronting his failure in romantic pursuits, Richard chooses to regard women as minimalist pawns with his quest for power replacing ones traditional search for love. Furthermore, Richard views one who takes the advice of women to be as weak as a woman herself. When speaking of his brother, Edward IV, Richard says, "Why, this it is when men are rul'd by women" (Shakespeare 7) — implying one who takes guidance from a woman is utterly weak. Richard has clear animosity towards women, a possible motivation to become king in order to transcend their rejection.
In contrast, Frank's mistreatment of women may in fact stem from his own repressed homosexuality. Though throughout the show Frank and his wife Claire seem to have the ideal marriage working as a dream team of sorts on Capitol Hill, it soon becomes clear when Frank begins an affair with journalist Zoe Barnes with Claire's knowledge that elements of their marriage are far from traditional. In the episode entitled, "Chapter 8," it's revealed that, while in college at the prestigious military academy, The Sentinel, Frank had a relationship with one of his fellow male cadets. During an event honoring Frank where he spends the night with his old partner, Frank recalls that "I was drawn to you, I wanted you, and I took you" (Chapter 8, House of Cards). Due to his career in politics in which homosexuality is frowned upon, Frank was forced to suppress his feelings however his statement that he "took" his partner reveals a shred of his narcissism that prevails throughout his political career and allows him to be so steadfast and successful. By being forced to restrain his true sexual preference however, one may conclude that his discount of the successful women he's confronted with stems from his own bitterness of being forced to settle with a female spouse despite his inherent attraction towards men.
The hostility both Richard and Frank share towards women can also be attributed to the fragmented relationships each of them share with their mothers. During the course of Richard's schemes, his own mother, the Duchess of York, fervently condemns him insisting that, "Thou camest on earth to make the earth my hell" (Shakespeare 150) and making no secret of her complete disdain for her own son. Frank, however, was abandoned by his mother and grew up with his father — an incident in itself that may have led him to question his own worth, especially in the eyes of women. To lack the traditional mother's love that one normally depends upon assuredly must have instilled in the two a profound bitterness for women of any sort early on. Thus, their consistent lashing out of women in their careers can be interpreted as outlets to release their concealed pain towards the women who abandoned them from early on.
It is evident that both Richard and Frank have failed to establish healthy, traditional relationships with women exhibited by their respective feelings of rejection and suppression. To fill the void that these failures have left, both characters have attempted to fulfill themselves through their narcissistic pursuits of power. Both characters can accurately be described as Machiavels, taking any means necessary in order to secure and maintain their power. They serve in contrast to their rivals Richmond and President Walker who have been able to achieve these successful political careers while also maintaining healthy relationships with not only women, but also their advisors who they regard as genuine friends rather than transitory allies.
Richard himself finds "no delight to pass away the time" and "hate the idle pleasures of these days" (Shakespeare 5) for his only delight has become proving those in opposition towards him wrong and becoming king. Similarly, Frank "has no patience for useless things" and, in fact, claims to have been granted a favor by being wronged for he is "no longer bound by allegiances" and "serves no one" (Chapter 1, House of Cards). The sense of abandonment and singularity each man feels has warped them into shying away from the minute pleasures of life and has completely diverted their attentions towards achieving total power in retribution for those that have wronged them.
The connections between Richard and Frank Underwood may in fact be more pronounced since the actor who portrays Frank, Kevin Spacey, spent time with the Bridge Project theatre company starring in a production of Richard III immediately before beginning work on House of Cards. Theatre critic Ben Brantley discussed the scene in which Richard courted Lady Anne in particular and remarked that Spacey delivered his signature lines of "Was ever woman in this humor wooed," "as much in disgust as in delight," (Brantley, New York Times) — indicating Richard's own displeasure in having to feign actual affection towards a woman and mimicking Frank Underwood's frequent refusal to sleep with his wife and somewhat indifference when she begins an affair with a former flame. Spacey, who's battled gay rumors himself, delivers the portrayal of both characters with a cold and mechanized fashion that never leaves his audience forgetting that both Richard and Frank derive their pleasure from the power they maintain with little deference to any romantic feelings they may have once held.
While both Richard III and Frank Underwood can be regarded as pure representations of evil hellbent only on their own journeys for ascendancy, it can not be ignored that some of the people who payed most dearly for their rise were women. With masterful charm and a profound talent for manipulation, both men viewed women only as objects to be played with, never being treated with the respect their male counterparts received. However these attitudes can not be regarded as simple evil for they bear roots in the prior experiences of both men that has created this negative image of women for them stemming from profound rejection and bitter repression. Furthermore, while Richard and Frank both harbor these feelings, little is done by women in either work to win the favor of their gender. With virtually every woman in Richard III, including his own mother, praying for the death of Richard and the continued affairs of Frank's wife, both men have little opportunity to be won over by the women of their lives for they feel no hesitance in the rebuke of the two men. While these condemnations may be justified for both Richard and Frank can be accurately described as true embodiments of evil, the woman in the lives of both men can be interpreted as legitimate causes for their ravenous courses towards power.

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and receptivity, which can be an extremely useful tool for individuals wishing to master certain abilities and accomplish specific tasks. Currently health care professionals and mental health specialists in assisting with a broad variety of problems and life issues most competently use it.
EMDR is a psychotherapy treatment that is effective for resolving emotional difficulties caused by disturbing, difficult, or frightening life experiences. When a person is traumatized, have upsetting experiences or repeated failures, they lose a sense of control over their lives. This can result in symptoms of anxiety, depression, irritability, anger, guilt, and/or behavioral problems. Events such as accidents, abuse, violence, death, and natural disasters are traumatic, but we do not always recognize the ways they effect and influence a person's everyday life.
When an upsetting, scary or painful experience happens, sometimes the memory of the experience stays "stuck" or "frozen" in the mind and body. The experience may return in a distressing and intrusive way and the child may cope by avoiding everything associated with the upsetting experience. For example, a person who has experienced a car accident may have repeated nightmares, be fearful of trying new things, and avoid things that are associated with a car.
Most experts agree that the best way to get "unstuck" and become free from the symptoms is through exposure to the traumatic experience. This means the person will work through facing the memories or troubling events until they are no longer disturbing. Dual Attention Stimulation (DAS) refers to the use of alternating, right-left tracking that may take the form of eye movements, tones or music delivered to each ear, or tactile stimulation, such as alternating hand taps. EMDR helps resolve the troubling thoughts and feelings related to the distressing memories so that a person can return to their normal functioning and prior levels of coping. In addition, EMDR can help to strengthen feelings of confidence, calmness and mastery.


NASA's University Student Launch (SL) brings together university and community college teams from across the United States in a challenge that changes each year. The competition is a one-academic-year commitment that requires teams to submit a series of reports and reviews, develop a website, engage in education outreach, and provide a timeline, budget, and other requirements. The reports and reviews are almost identical to NASA's own technical review process. Teams will submit a proposal, then a Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Flight Readiness Review (FRR), and a Post-Launch Assessment Review (PLAR) after competition. In addition, teams must successfully undergo the Launch Readiness Review prior to competition launch.

UPDATED: The search is over for the missing "Glee" actress Naya Rivera. The news comes shortly after her friend and co-star Heather Morris reached out to officials wanting to "conduct an on-foot search."
Naya Rivera went missing last Wednesday afternoon, and on Saturday, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office reportedly said that they used resources that included "cadaver dogs, sonar technology, and helicopters" to look for the actress every day since she went missing.

OFFICIALS KEPT LOOKING
Rescue efforts then turned from a rescue to recovery while they had the assistance of Tulare County and San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Offices in the matter as well. A spokesperson for the office added:
"It's a recovery effort on our part and our hope is to obviously bring closure to the family. They are pretty devastated as you can imagine."
THE EVENTS THAT DAY
There had been no trace of Rivera after she rented the pontoon boat, so she and her 4-year-old son, Josey, could explore Lake Piru. When the rental boat didn't return on time, an employee of the rental company found the boat, but Josey fast asleep inside and alone, still wearing his lifejacket.
No sign of Rivera came up anywhere. Onboard the boat officials found a lifejacket presumed to be Naya's, while all her personal belongings were right where she had left them.
HEATHER WANTS TO HELP
Despite the efforts of several professional teams searching high and low for Naya, her whereabouts remain elusive. "Feeling helpless," her friend and "Glee" co-star Heather Morris now took to social media wanting to do whatever could be helpful in finding Rivera.
When the Ventura County Sheriff's Office announced on Saturday that their search was "winding down" for the evening, Morris decided to ask them how she could assist.
"I understand your team is doing EVERYTHING in their power, but we are feeling helpless, powerless, and want to help in any way," the actress wrote. "I have left a message with the Department of Rescue and Air today, and I will call again tomorrow. Thank you."
JOSEY AND NAYA
Rivera's son Josey is reportedly unharmed and now with his dad and her ex-husband, Ryan Dorsey. The actress became quite the doting mom, and she said during an interview a few years ago that her responsibilities as a mother have taken priority over her career because she doesn't want to "miss anything" with Josey.
Her words echoed in the last post she shared on social media. Posting a close-up and loving picture of them together, Rivera simply said that it is "just the two of [them]."
HER BODY FOUND
According to new reports from TMZ, Sheriff Bill Ayub confirmed to them that they have recovered Rivera's body on Monday morning.
Her body was found in the northeastern section of Lake Piru, and authorities suspect no foul play or suicide but simply a tragic drowning.

Since Naya Rivera went missing, fans also began wondering whether a curse followed cast members on the show. Rivera is not the first star on the "Glee" something out of the ordinary happened too.
Since no one knows where Rivera is or what really happened to her, people thought the parallel drawn inappropriate since several of the previous cast members died through horrific accidents.

Hf Jammer
What is a jammer and how does it work?
To put it simply, a Jammer is, fundamentally, a signal blocking device, which transmits synchronized radio waves on the same frequency range of the device that one needs to blur, therefore preventing devices from transmitting data in the chosen area. But, before purchasing such devices, you should consider a few important factors:
What is DRFM jamming?
Digital frequency radio memory, or DRFM, is a repeater technique that confuses a radar by altering and re-transmitting received radar energy. For example, by changing the delay in transmission of pulses, the jammer can alter the range the radar detects and creating false targets.
How do radar jammers work?
For example, jammers radiate interfering signals toward an opponent's radar, blocking the receiver with highly concentrated energy signals. The two main jamming techniques are noise techniques and repeater techniques.
How do radio jamming devices work?
In the United States, radio jamming devices (known as "jammers") are illegal and their use can result in large fines. In some cases jammers work by the transmission of radio signals that disrupt communications by decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio. The concept can be used in wireless data networks to disrupt information flow.
