Business Administration Course Requirements
All entering freshmen in the college must successfully complete BA 100 during the fall semester. This first-year experience and professional development course is designed to help students successfully transition from high school to a university environment as well as teach professional development skills needed for leadership. BA 100 includes an introduction to study strategies and techniques as well as an orientation to resources available at UIC. Students will be given an overview of the CBA degree programs and careers in business. Additionally, this course provides ample opportunities to connect with other students, faculty, staff, and organizations and activities on campus. In their second year, students must successfully complete BA 220. BA 220 is to be taken in students' fourth semester and is intended to develop "professional presence"—the verbal and nonverbal skills necessary to excel professionally. In either semester of their third year, students must successfully complete BA 320. The primary goal of BA 320 is to understand and practice the value of serving the community. A secondary goal of the class is to learn and practice building effective teams.
BA 100, BA 220, and BA 320 are one-semester-hour courses required for graduation. The hours count in the calculation of tuition, full- or part-time enrollment status, and financial aid eligibility. However, the hours do not count towards the 120 hours necessary to graduate.
Foreign Language Requirement
The College of Business Administration requires at least two years of a single foreign language in high school with minimum grades of C as a criterion for admission. Students who are admitted with a deficiency in this area must take two semesters of a single foreign language at the college level with minimum grades of C or prove proficiency in a foreign language.

For a description and a list of courses for each General Education Core category, students should consult the General Education section of the catalog. Information on meeting the General Education requirements for each College of Business Administration degree program is detailed in the previous section on General Course Requirements.
General Education Proficiencies—University Writing Requirement
A minimum grade of C in ENGL 160 and ENGL 161 is a degree requirement. Transfer students who have taken the equivalent of ENGL 160 and/or ENGL 161 at other institutions may only receive graduation credit for these courses if they earned minimum grades of C.
Mathematics Requirements
Business students must register for a mathematics course every semester beginning with their first semester of enrollment until one of the required mathematics tracks has been completed. After completing the required math courses, students must enroll in Business Statistics (IDS 270). Some students may be required to take prerequisite math courses prior to enrolling in the required math courses.

Students who take foreign language courses that do not fall into the foreign language requirement category can use these courses to fulfill general elective credit requirements.
English as a Second Language courses (CC 050 and CC 060)
The only exception is that students may earn 3 semester hours of credit in ENGL 070 or ENGL 071 and a waiver of ENGL 160 if written authorization is received from the Department of English. BA 100, BA 200, BA 289, BA 320, ESL courses, MATH 090, and Academic Skills Program courses do not carry academic credit and will not be used in computing the grade point average, but will be used for the purpose of determining full- or part-time status, and for financial aid eligibility.
Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirement
In addition to meeting all University requirements for the degree, students must earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00/4.00 in each of the following to qualify for graduation:
all courses taken at the University of Illinois at Chicago
all courses (UIC and transfer) counted toward the degree and
in the major.
Graduation Declaration/Filing to Graduate/Degree Completion
The College of Business Administration is dedicated to assisting students with the achievement of both their academic and professional goals in a timely manner. One semester before graduation, CBA students are required to meet with their academic advisor to complete a graduation review. In the semester of graduation, students will receive a graduation check via their UIC email account verifying they are cleared to graduate. When students register for their final semester of courses, they will also declare their intent to graduate online using Student Self-Service. The deadline to declare graduation in the my.UIC system is the end of the third week (fall and spring) or second week (Summer Session 2) of the term in which graduation is sought. Failure to complete these two steps may delay the awarding of the degree to the next semester. A final review of the records will be made following the close of the term.
Students completing all degree requirements for their declared major will need permission from their college to enroll in additional undergraduate courses. See the University Degree Requirements section of the catalog for a complete description of this policy.
Enrollment Residence Requirement
The following college enrollment residence requirements apply to all CBA students:
At a minimum, 60 semester hours are required at the University of Illinois at Chicago or any other accredited four-year college or university. The enrollment residence requirements must also be met. Thus, students ordinarily should not register at a community college after completing the sophomore year.
The last 30 hours of course work must be taken in enrollment residence at UIC.
At least two-thirds of the credit required for a departmental major must be completed at UIC.
Concurrent attendance at the University of Illinois at Chicago and another collegiate institution or enrollment during the summer at another institution, when approved by the student's college, does not interrupt the UIC or CBA enrollment residence requirement for graduation.
All students are required to demonstrate understanding of business ethics through completion of an online ethics examination or by taking an ethics course offered in the CBA.
Assessment Requirement
To ensure the quality of the academic program and to assist in continuous improvement efforts, all students must participate in one assessment event prior to graduation. Students will register for a non-credit course (BA 395) to complete this requirement.
Computer Requirement
Business students are required to have a laptop computer that can run the latest versions of Microsoft Windows and Office and has Wi-Fi or wireless Internet access.
To be considered a full-time student during the fall and spring semesters, a student must be registered for a minimum of 12 semester hours. For Summer Session 1 (Four-Week) and Summer Session 2 (Eight-Week), UIC considers a total aggregate of 6 semester hours as the minimum number necessary to constitute full-time enrollment. A maximum of 18 semester hours may be taken in a semester (12 hours between the two summer sessions). To complete a CBA degree within four years, a student must take an average course load of 15–16 hours per semester. Students requiring prerequisite math or English courses should plan to attend summer school to ensure timely graduation and meet this goal. For each hour of registered course work, students should expect to complete three hours of homework, studying, and reading.
Students' academic status will be based on their semester or cumulative grade point average. Students are in "good standing," "on probation," or "dismissed." Students can check their academic status after each semester on my.UIC. Students who are on academic probation or who have been dismissed are informed of their status by UIC email from the college following the end of the semester.
Probation Rules
Students will be placed on academic probation in any term in which they earn either a cumulative or semester grade point average of less than 2.00/4.00. They will then be expected to earn at least a 2.00/4.00 semester grade point average and to raise their cumulative grade point average to a 2.00/4.00 to achieve good academic standing.
Academic probation at UIC can only be removed by successfully completing additional course work at UIC. Probation is broken down as follows.
UG Probation Rules
Probation Level
Semester Probation Semester GPA is below 2.00/4.00, but the UIC cumulative GPA is 2.00 or higher Warning status is assigned. Must meet with an advisor to discuss academic difficulties and seek tutoring, if necessary.
Academic Probation UIC cumulative GPA is below 2.00/4.00 Academic restrictions enforced until required GPA level is achieved. Must meet with an advisor to discuss their academic progress, sign an academic contract, and seek tutoring in difficult subjects. Students are required to meet with an academic advisor three times each semester until they are no longer on probation.
Dismissed UIC cumulative GPA is considerably below 2.00/4.00 Student is dismissed from the university. Student will not be allowed to register for classes at UIC.
The following rules are applied to determine the academic status of a student on probation:
A student in good academic standing is placed on semester probation for any semester in which less than a 2.00/4.00 GPA is earned, but the UIC cumulative GPA is 2.00 or higher (Warning Status).
A student in good academic standing is placed on academic probation in any semester in which the UIC cumulative GPA falls below a 2.00/4.00.
A student currently on academic probation is continued on academic probation (unless dismissed from the university) until both the cumulative GPA and the UIC GPA are raised to 2.00/4.00.
CBA Undergraduate Programs determines the conditions of probation. In addition to specifying the grade point average, the college may require the completion of specific courses, limit the number of hours for which students register, and exclude students from taking certain courses while on probation.
All students on probation are required to adhere to the following terms of probation (academic restrictions). Failure to do so will result in registration holds and possible academic dismissal.
Students must meet with their academic advisor to complete an academic contract. The contract will include any requirements and/or restrictions for the student's next semester.
Students must schedule an appointment with their CBA academic advisor two additional times during the semester to discuss their academic progress for the term.
Students cannot register for more than 12 hours of course work for the semester (6 hours during the summer term).
Students must seek tutoring in their weak subject areas, i.e. math, accounting, economics, statistics, etc. Tutoring is available in the College of Business Administration Business Learning Center during the fall, spring, and summer semesters, the Honors College, the Writing Center, and the Mathematical Science Learning Center, as well as many other support programs on campus.
Dismissal Rules
If a student is on academic probation, the student may be dismissed in any term in which he/she fails to meet the grade point average required by the probation status and in which the cumulative grade point average in courses taken at UIC is less than 2.00/4.00.
If a student is on academic probation, the student may be dismissed in any term in which he/she fails to meet the grade point average required by the probation and in which the combined transfer and UIC grade point average is less than 2.00/4.00.
If the student fails to make any significant progress toward a degree, the student may be dismissed from the college, and is therefore ineligible to enroll at the university in subsequent semesters.
The student may be dismissed in any term in which he or she fails to comply with the conditions set by the College of Business Administration.
Change of Course Schedule—Dropping Courses
Undergraduate students may drop courses using my.UIC through the end of the second week of classes for fall and spring semesters, the first Wednesday of Summer Session 1, or the first Friday of Summer Session 2. During weeks 3 through 10 of the fall and spring semesters (first Thursday through the second Wednesday of Summer Session 1 or weeks 2 through 5 of Summer Session 2), students may drop courses with the permission of their major college. If the drop occurs between 0 and 2 weeks in fall and spring, there will be no notation on the transcript. If the drop occurs during weeks 3 through 10 in fall and spring (first Thursday through the second Wednesday of Summer Session 1 or weeks 2 through 5 of Summer Session 2), a W is noted on the transcript. Undergraduate students may drop a maximum of 4 UIC individual courses that result in a W notation on their transcript during their entire undergraduate degree program.
To avoid difficulty, CBA suggests that students do the following:
Meet with a CBA academic advisor each semester to plan a manageable course schedule and stay on track for graduation.
Get feedback from their instructors before the drop deadline to determine if they are succeeding in their classes.
Give careful consideration before using this option early in their academic career.
Students are encouraged to discuss their options for majors within the College of Business Administration with faculty, career advisors, and academic advisors. CBA students must declare a major by the end of their sophomore year. Declaring or changing a major is done by making an appointment with an academic advisor.
CBA's expectation is that students will attend all classes because it is necessary for achieving academic success. Each instructor may establish specific attendance requirements for his/her course. The instructor is responsible for making the attendance policy clear to the students. An instructor cannot drop a student from a course due to nonattendance. It is the student's responsibility to make certain that all courses are added and dropped properly by the published deadlines.
Courses close because a maximum enrollment capacity is placed on each course. This limit cannot be exceeded due to fire code, safety and environmental regulations. It is necessary that students register at their assigned time to ensure the preferred course schedule.
UIC awards credit on the basis of scores earned on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). When seeking credit for a CLEP exam taken at another institution, a student's official score will be evaluated on UIC's credit-granting policy.
CLEP credit will not count toward general education credit, university writing, quantitative reasoning, foreign language, residency, major, or minor requirements. A student cannot take a CLEP exam in a subect in which they have earned credit. Three elective credit hours will be awarded per exam. A maximum of 30 credit hours is allowed.
The full list of CLEP exams available is available online. The Office of Testing Services administers CLEP exams on campus and can be reached at (312) 996-0919 for further information on CLEP examinations.
Students must meet all course prerequisites. The most up-to-date prerequisites for courses are listed on my.UIC. Prerequisites are put on courses to ensure students' success in the course and to maximize understanding and comprehension of the academic material. Students who do not meet published prerequisites may be dropped from the course.
Students may elect to take courses on the credit/no credit option under the following conditions:
Students must be on clear academic status, not on academic probation;
Students must be enrolled full-time at UIC;
Only one course per semester may be taken on the credit/no credit option;
A maximum of 21 semester hours of credit/no credit course work can be earned at UIC. Courses that may not be taken on the credit/no credit option include:
Academic Writing I: Writing in Academic and Public Contexts
Academic Writing II: Writing for Inquiry and Research
Managerial Communication
Fundamentals of Human Communication
Principles of Microeconomics
Principles of Macroeconomics
• Business Core courses
• Courses taken to satisfy a requirement of a particular major, i.e., the advanced quantitative skills requirement for Finance, and Information and Decision Sciences majors
• Major business courses
• Business elective courses
• Any accounting courses
• Any course a department or college stipulates as not eligible to be taken under the CR/NC option; this restriction should be listed on the course syllabus
• Minor courses
To elect this option, students must complete a Credit/No Credit Form in the CBA Undergraduate Programs office. The form must be submitted to 1118 UH by 4:15 p.m. (the close of business) on the tenth day of instruction (or the first Friday of Summer Session 1 or the second Friday of Summer Session 2). No exceptions will be made to this policy.
Double Major, Double Degrees, and Second Bachelor's Degree
Students pursuing a double major or dual major must submit a double major petition through Business Connect on the CBA website.
Students interested in pursuing a dual degree should submit a formal request via general petition to the undergraduate programs office. If a student's request is approved, the College of Business Administration will serve as the primary college.
Second Bachelor's Degree
Applicants who have already earned a bachelor's degree must apply to the graduate program.
The College of Business Administration prohibits undergraduate students from registering for graduate-level courses and the use of graduate-level credit applied toward the undergraduate degree. Students should understand that graduate-level courses taken by an undergraduate student are not applicable toward a future graduate or professional degree.
Students are required to contact an instructor in their major field of study to propose a topic for independent study. If approved, a Request for Independent Study Form must be completed and approved by the academic department before registering for an independent study course. In addition, if the course is to be applied toward the major, a formal petition must be approved by the department head and the Undergraduate Programs Office of the college. Students should consult the department office for specific procedures regarding enrollment in independent study courses.
Petition Procedure
Students who want to make formal requests or appeal college policies do so by using a petition process. CBA has various types of petitions available for different types of appeals, requests, or clarifications of policies and requirements. Petition forms and advice for completing these forms are available in the Undergraduate Programs Office in 1111 UH or on the CBA website.
Students interested in earning proficiency credit should contact the department for information concerning eligibility and availability of a proficiency exam. This is subject to the university, college, and departmental policy on proficiency examinations. Proficiency credit cannot be earned by CBA students for major-level courses, nor can proficiency credit earned for a foreign language be used towards the degree. A student who earns proficiency credit is given the amount of credit toward graduation regularly allowed in the course. Proficiency credit is not considered an interruption of the enrollment residence requirement, nor a satisfaction of the last 30-semester-hour enrollment residence requirement for graduation.
Each semester, all Accounting majors, who have started taking major-level accounting courses, are required to meet with an academic advisor and an assigned faculty advisor in their major department prior to receiving approval to register. Students on academic probation must also meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for the next semester. Registration holds will not be removed from the student's account until these conditions have been met.
Students may repeat a course to increase their knowledge of the subject matter. There are circumstances under which repeating a course is advisable and to a student's advantage. There are also circumstances where repeating a course may disadvantage a student and narrow a student's options. The College of Business Administration requires students to discuss any plan to repeat a course with their academic advisor before they register to repeat the course.
Courses with A, B, or C grades may not be repeated. Courses with D or F grades may be repeated once without written permissions. In all cases, the original grade for the course and the grade for each repeat will appear on the transcript. The original grade and the grade for each repeat will be calculated into the grade point average.
Only one registration for the course counts toward the total number of credits required for graduation. A course cannot be repeated after receiving credit in a course for which the repeat course is a prerequisite.
To repeat a course more than once requires written permission from the academic department head from which the course is being offered. Students who have been dismissed may not appeal on the grounds of intention to repeat courses. Certain courses may not be repeated; students should always consult their CBA academic advisor before repeating a course.
Undergraduate Grade Point Average Recalculation/Grade Exclusion Policy
The College of Business Administration may elect to implement this policy as early as the end of the junior year, or as late as the final semester during degree certification.
The college will evaluate each student unable to graduate because of an academic grade point average deficit. The deficit may occur in the UIC GPA, the program GPA, or both.
A student's academic record is examined so as to determine if courses, deemed appropriate by each college, with grades of F or grades of D, may be excluded from the student's grade point average.
A total of four courses may be excluded, with one course excluded at a time until the necessary quality points are obtained to meet the UIC GPA requirement and/or degree program minimum GPA. The credit hours associated with excluded course grades will not count towards graduation requirements.
The college will initiate course exclusions, and only in consultation with the evaluated student.
This policy only applies to undergraduate degree-seeking students.
All courses taken and all grades will remain on the official transcript.
The grade exclusion policy does not apply to courses failed as the result of a student conduct hearing.
Grades earned from institutions other than UIC cannot be excluded.
CBA academic advisors and departments will have discretion in choosing courses that impact the student's major or degree program.
Effective Term: Fall, 2017
This policy will apply to all entering students for Fall 2017. Current and continuing students (who have entered prior to Fall 2017) are able to continue using the 2009 Grade Point Average Recalculation Policy until graduation or dismissal from the university. The new proposed policy could be applied to any current or continuing student who has not utilized the 2009 Recalculation Policy.
Intercollege Transfer Students
UIC students from other colleges may apply for transfer to the College of Business Administration. Admission is competitive and based on space availability.
The following is a list of the minimum criteria needed to be considered for admission:

Папирня () — село на Украине, основано в 1922 году, находится в Овручском районе Житомирской области.

Код КОАТУУ — 1824280604. Население по переписи 2001 года составляет 112 человек. Почтовый индекс — 11152. Телефонный код — 4148. Занимает площадь 3,99 км².

История
Село Папирня лежит над рекой Норынь вблизи Овруча. В XVIII веке здесь была "папирня" — фабрика по производству бумаги. Дату основания и ликвидации папирни установить не удалось. По рассказам старожилов, она существовала в конце XVIII — первой половине XIX века, но при отмене барщины папирни уже не было. Во время полевых исследований в селе удалось найти микротопоним Рудня или Папирня. Нет сомнения, что село образовалось у "папирни" и от нее получило свое название. Ещё сравнительно недавно (в середине XIX века) в селе была рудня, которая, видимо, осталась на месте бывшей "папирни".

Однако в актовых записях, касающихся учёта еврейского населения в Киевском воеводстве, находятся первые, более точные письменные данные, о селе Папирня Овручского уезда. Действительно, согласно переписи евреев в Овручском уезде Киевского воеводства, проведенной в апреле 1765 года, впервые письменно упоминаются Рудня и Папирня («Rudnia, papiernia»), которые принадлежали к кагалу Норинска, и там проживало 7 евреев (głow żydowskich ). А по переписи евреев в Киевском и Житомирском уездах Киевского воеводства от 1 мая 1778 года, в Папирне фиксируется 5 евреев (głow żydowskich).  Люстрация евреев в Житомирском и Овручском уездах Киевского воеводства в 1784 году также упоминает Папирню в составе прихода кагала Норинск, где проживало в то время только 2 еврея.

Participants: Artists from Belarus, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. Belarusian artists Andrej Bialou, Aliaksander Zabauchyk, Ihar Kashkurevich, Yauhen Kirylau, Artur Klinau, Uladzimir Lapo, Valer Martynchyk, Viktar Piatrou, Vital Razhkou, Ludmila Rusava, and Dzmitry Yarmilau.
The USSR seminar on non-official art that took place in in Narva, Estonia, was titled "The Art Holiday. Narva-88," and was organized by the Department of Culture of Narva Gorispolkom (the city's Executive Committee) of Estonian SSR and curator Ninel Ziterava. Participants included artists from Belarus, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. The seminar included individual performances by artists, spontaneous collaborations between artists to make outdoor installations, site-specific sculptures, and other forms of visual art. It was first time that Belarusian avant-garde artists had participated in a large art festival in the Soviet Union—this was made possible thanks to Perestroika, a political movement for reformation. During the festival, Belarusian artists who usually felt isolated from those artists working in other Soviet countries, were able to introduce their artwork to their peers from other parts of the USSR, to make connections, and to become part of the larger network of non-official, avant-garde artists. Some fruitful, international collaborations between artists formed at this historic festival stayed viable for many years after.


While the young captains lead the revolution in the streets, the people of Fontainhas search for Ventura, lost in the woods.
Possibly the richest and most-baffling film of the entire festival. A trip through the underworld, or purgatory at least, as one man, Ventura, relieves his past through the black and brown industrial landscapes of Lisbon's Fontainhas district. A haunted, ghostly presence, Ventura slips in and out of memories and hospitals, wandering through impossible black spaces, both above and below the industrial ruins that pass as living spaces for much of the world's forgotten classes and talking to acquaintances and friends, obliquely recounting crimes committed, mistakes made and losses witnessed. Dominated by shadow, splitting the screen, creating ancient irises, forming a primal void from which yellow apartment lights float like islands of life in a universe of emptiness, vertical lines relentlessly drawing our eye upwards, out of the archaic 1.33 frame. It's an astonishing film, unique and yet deeply cinephilic, forging connections across a century of cinema, not just The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Here is a partial list of the movies I thought of while watching Horse Money: The Phantom Carriage, Goodbye Dragon Inn, It's a Wonderful Life, Pedicab Driver, The Thin Man, A Matter of Life and Death, Apocalypse Now, Ikiru, The Phantom of the Opera, Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and well, just DW Griffith in general. After watching it, I was overwhelmed, but sure that this would be a one-time experience, so draining and difficult was it to watch at times. After a couple of days though, all I really wanted to do was see Horse Money again.
It is both odd, and entirely a propos, that Horse Money will be the first of Pedro Costa's fiction films to receive a proper release. (His first distributed film in the U.S. was his Jeanne Balibar documentary, Ne change rien.) It makes sense, of course, given than Costa has gone from being a virtual unknown in North America to being someone less of an unknown, thanks to the Criterion Collection's "Letters From Fontainhas" DVD collection. Something of a first for Criterion (unless we count straight-up avant-gardists like Brakhage and Frampton), these discs were not deluxe reissues or follow-ups to commercial releases. In essence, these discs were the American releases of Costa's three Fontainhas features: Bones, In Vanda's Room, and Colossal Youth. Not only did the collection give curious cinephiles access to the work of one of the major new film artists of the century; it provided a mini-retrospective, allowing viewers to see Costa's work in a broader perspective.
In light of this, Horse Money arrived at festivals in 2014, and in theatres in 2015, with some substantial groundwork beneath it, which can only help with a filmmaker as challenging as Costa. Having said this, I think that the "difficult" or abstruse" character of these films has been overstated, and that with each new work Costa has become a broader-ranging, more accessible artist. No, he will never be Spielberg, or even Apichatpong.
But the Fontainhas films have become progressively forward and discursive about certain aspects of their intellectual make-up (especially the colonial histories between Portugal and Cape Verde) that were largely submerged in Bones, and wholly implicit in In Vanda's Room. These social and political questions, particularly as they intersect with race, rebellion, and personal trauma, emerged in fairly evident ways in Colossal Youth, although some viewers may still have been confused (or merely put off) by Costa's choice to expound these issues through poetry and incantation rather than conventional dialogue.
Horse Money is a fourth Fontainhas film of sorts, or more properly speaking a post-Fontainhas film, or a coda to the trilogy. The titular housing block in Lisbon, barely standing in Colossal Youth, is finally gone. In that film, Ventura, the central figure, was a would-be patriarch trying to keep his Fontainhas "family" together in the midst of demolition and shifting alliances. In Horse Money, he is isolated and infirm, in hospital for an undefined illness and experiencing his compatriots, past and present, as flashes of a floating continuum of memory.
If the broader historical and political meanings of Cape Verdean exile and insurgency were dispersed across multiple subjects in the previous films, in Horse Money, Costa allows Ventura to serve as the soft tablet upon and across which this memory is written. His troubled mind becomes a cultural palimpsest, deeply individualized and at the same time emblematic of something broader than his own private experience.
Costa tends to depict this throughout Horse Money in a manner that is both abstract, and suprisingly in keeping with certain modes and schemas of the European and Asian art film tradition. That is, Costa deploys clear methods of framing and mise en scène in order to delineate shifts between Ventura's consciousness and a semi-objective outside world. In fact, Costa does this quite masterfully throughout, with match cuts and rhythmic symmetries that allow us to perceive the exact same spaces and scenes through Ventura's eyes (darker, organic, cavernous) and through "normal" vision (lighter, wider angles, blandly institutional).
Much of Horse Money consists of Ventura navigating a hospital stay, and his depressive, somnambulistic behavior connotes several things at once: traumatized memory, historical burden, as well as the creep of disorientation or dementia. But above all, Costa stages Ventura's performance and "presence" as being fundamentally out of joint with contemporary lived time. This is a man who hovers between present and past, serving as an avatar for events and experiences that (as per Faulkner's infamous dictum) are not even past.
So, when old friends visit Ventura's bedside, he recalls the manner in which each of them met their death. They are ghosts, but no less palpable than everything that surrounds Ventura. One of them holds the rail of his bedframe, making contact with the physical world in a quite pointed manner. Similarly, when Ventura leaves the hospital and wanders through an old factory where he used to work, its utter disarray is set in contrast with Ventura's sense that he could simply pick up his labor where he left off. He heads upstairs to the main office to find a co-worker who has been waiting for his paycheck for who-knows-how-long, and a woman bitterly demanding her dead husband's pension.
The climax of Horse Money, and certainly one of the most bizarre and befuddling sequences Costa has ever filmed, takes place in a hospital elevator. Ventura comes face to face with an MFA rebel soldier (Antonio Santos) from the 1974 Carnation Revolution. "Face to face" is to put it a little incorrectly, however, since this man is a "living statue," unmoving and covered in gray-metallic greasepaint. His disquisition on the battles, the losses and the anguish that Ventura has experienced, serves not to lay the themes of the film bare. Rather, the confrontation between Ventura and the "soldier" heightens the secondary problematic of Horse Money. Is Ventura trapped in a kind of death-dream? And by extension, are all the various times and spaces that traverse him -- Cape Verdean cultural memory, the colonial resistance, the Portuguese 20th century, the dignity of labor, to say nothing of the fading concepts of brotherhood and poetic reverie -- all mere memories fading into oblivion?
In a key visual image of the film, Ventura stands in a village square as a tank rolls up to him, threatening to annihilate him as his stands nearly naked in his pajamas. He is small and vulnerable. But, as is customary in Costa's cinematic grammar, he is also sharply illuminated, a figure of stark dignity in a dense inky night of the film's frame. Costa brings Ventura into being, even as he threatens to slip away from us and from historical time.
Some kind of cinematic giant. I felt like I could articulate hundreds of thoughts while watching this again, only to have them evaporate in the films final shot. After you get ever the initial pure stun at the film's remarkable images, you come to realize that every image in the film is perfectly illustrative. It's the Ford-Murnau effect, you can jump anywhere into the movie and the lighting tells you what to feel even though you don't know what's going on. Yet, it doesn't feel quite like those other films, this feels groundbreaking in it's narrative abstraction, where we leap constantly between time and space....where hospital corridors and elevator shafts become landscapes of the mind and heart.
On initial viewings, the film does feel like the way Costa described it, "an exorcism," but on subsequent revisits, the beauty and poetry hidden in the abstraction shine through. Example: Ventura feeding the red-shirted guy near the end. But don't get me wrong, this certaintly isn't the most uplifting film in the world. It's probably the most directly political of Costa's work (though all of them are consciously political), here there are no communities like Vanda, or the shadow of communities like Colossal Youth. Is Ventura 19 and a half, or in his late 50's? Is this military brutality in 1975, or police brutality in 2014? There is talk of unpaid wages, salaries, unpaid rent. Men find death, "grinded by the machine, his guts spread out all over the floor. His cap and jacket are still in his locker." This movie is about a universe full of those exploited by capitalism, though in the films outstandingly contradictory nature, these aren't ruins, but survivors. A side note: in recent years we often see films with such savage capitalist critique to focus on the exploiter, rather than the exploited. However a film like this one makes me feel bad, makes me question whether terminology such as "exploited" should be used. What right do I have to call another "exploited"?
Anyways, this is a difficult film to write about. Isn't it awful how when you see something so great, so important, such a game-changer, its unbelievably difficult to articulate? Even harder here, there's just so much going on! But maybe that just means I have to study harder, yeah?
A history of violence - cycles never stop repeating for those affected by historical trauma and exploitation. Like brain trauma - once you are bludgeoned, the wound never heals and you are affected forever.


The Creston auction will be held Saturday, December 1 starting at 6 P. M. at the Creston Community Building. Bobby Ray will have in Christmas items along with his regular goodies. It will also be a good time to come and swap deer hunting tales.
Rev. Bob Stanley brought the message at the Burning Springs M. E. church, as there was a pulpit exchange. Also at the service was Rev. Dean Ash.
W. A. (Junior) Wilson's residence at Annamoriah burned down Tuesday evening. It was understood that a pet knocked over an oil lamp. Junior had been in the hospital.
Longtime head mechanic at the Wirt County road garage Harry McCumbers passed away as a result of heart problems and pneumonia fever. Harry was not one who feared hard toil. He also gladly shared the knowledge he knew to help others, including his coworkers & supervisor. When he spoke one would do well to listen.
Delbert "Bo" Gainer, who lived for years on Pine Creek passed away. He was the head mechanic at the Calhoun road garage. He could take string, wire, rubber bands and some odd parts and get or keep stuff running or at least get it back into the shop. He also loved motorcycles.
Dan McDonald of Sycamore passed away after problems with cancer and a stroke. He was the long time Calhoun Republican County Chairman and was, among other things, president of the Little Kanawha Area Development Corp., a two county group that works for economic improvement in Wirt & Calhoun counties. He had retired and moved back and spent his time trying to bring West Virginia into the economic mainstream rather than at No. 50.
When Dan realized that his health was failing he made a special effort to be sure that the development corporation was all in order so that it would seamlessly continue functioning after he was gone.
The firing of the state archivist by the Big Boss and the Goodwins has now made national news. One might say that is how the state maintains its "image".
Several fine bucks were harvested locally and area residents have been busy working up deer meat. Some local landowners also had to put people off their land. One outfit had been run off somewhere else before slipping in on land in the Creston area.
The Loudins spent some time at their place on the Richardsonville road and did some more work including putting up the stove pipe.
Anna & Jane Engelke, Scheny and Harrison Schenerlein were calling at the Engelke residence in Creston. Anna & family also celebrated her birthday at the Pepper Mill located in the old Wind Mill across from Camden Clark Hospital in Parkersburg.
Mr. & Mrs. Todd Rhodes and daughters were calling in Creston on Thursday.
Don Rhodes had Charley Menefee help fix up his rental trailer in Creston so that a woman, connected somehow to Rusty Rhodes, can move in. Don was also doing some road hunting.
Chesapeake Appalachia announced that they were going to do some new deep tests and it was learned that at least two other firms are contemplating similar ventures in the area before too long.
One local producer determined that the gas he sold on the Dominion system (Mother Hope) last month fetched less than $6/dekatherm after all the charges were deducted. November gas on the Hope system will be $7.55.
The price of local Penn grade crude is now $91/bbl and the futures price would indicate that it should stabilize in that general area.
Locally one can always burn wood if petroleum products are unavailable or are too costly for the budget. However, elsewhere this may soon no longer be the case. Out in San Francisco there is a move to ban fireplaces as apparently the smoke is choking the fruits while some claim the fireplaces cause "global warming" even though the changes in the weather have almost nothing to do with human activity.
The Annamoriah Cowpoke and Steve Basnett were among those calling at the R. W. Arthur residence. Charles Russell reported that Bessie had cooked for a houseful.
The deadline for filing for delegates to the West Virginia State Republican convention on February 5 (Super Tuesday) is November 30. 18 delegates to the national convention will be picked that day by those present at the state convention. This is a real chance to have a say on who the Republican nominee will be, the first time West Virginia ever had any significant input in modern times.
The local area had a cold night which finished off most of the flowers and things that had lingered on far later than usual. One local resident had some phase changes in his water lines.
Some local residents went to the closeout sale at Ralph's Market on south side in Parkersburg. Some remember when Roane native Ralph Looney opened a fruit stand there and for decades local residents shopped there. The late Mrs. Charley Tucker, who formerly played the piano at the Creston M. E. church, was a longtime checkout lady at Ralph's. It was understood that Foodland bought the place to shut it down. Those who used the bulk and wholesale part are now in a quandary at to where to get items for their businesses and civic organizations.

Q: Show that $z^6 + 5z^4 - z^3 + 3z$ has at least two real roots given that all roots are distinct.
Show that $z^6 + 5z^4 - z^3 + 3z$ has at least two real roots given
  that all roots are distinct. Also, show that $|3z - z^3 + 5z^4| &lt |z^6|$ when $|z| > 3$.

I can see that 0 is a real root; however, I am having trouble starting this one. I couldn't seem to see a way to factorize this. Other than testing points in the derivative and maybe using the intermediate value theorem, I don't know what direction to take on this one.

A: Let $P(z) = z^6+5z^4-z^3+3z$, then $P(-1/2) = -67/64$, but the highest power of $P$ is even with positive coefficient, so $\lim_{x\to+\infty}P(x) = +\infty$ and $\lim_{x\to-\infty}P(x) = +\infty$, so by the intermediate value property of continuous functions $P$ possess at least two real roots.
Edit: And for the second part, looks like triangle inequality suffices.

A: You have the root $z=0$, so any other root would also be a root of $z^5 + 5z^3 - z^2 + 3$.  Call that expression $g(z)$.
$g(0)=+3$ while $g(-3)= -384$ so by continuity and the intermediate value theorem there is a real root of $g(z)$ in $(-3,0)$, and this will be a real root of your original expression.
Meanwhile for $|z| \gt 3$ you have $$|3z - z^3 + 5z^4| \le  3|z| +|z^3| +5|z^4| \lt \left(\frac{3}{3^5}+\frac{1}{3^3}+\frac{5}{3^2}\right)|z^6| \lt |z^6|.$$

A: Since the coefficients are real, all roots have conjugate roots as well. This means that excluding the $z=0$ root, you have five other distinct roots, so at least one of them is real. So we have at least two real roots.

A: $P(-\frac{1}{2})=- \frac{67}{64}$ and $P(-1)=4$.  Therefore the other real root is in the interval $(-1,-\frac{1}{2})$. In any case, when you factor out zero you get a polynomial of fifth degree. A polynomial of odd degree has at least one real root.  That root in our case is not zero therefore it has at least two distinct real roots.

A: The derivative at zero is non-zero, so it must be strictly negative at some point $a$ close to $0$. Also, the polynomial tends to $+\infty$ in both directions. So it must have another root, with the same sign as $a$.

A: For the first part of the question:
We do not need to know that the polynomial has distinct roots. $0$ is an obvious simple root, dividing by $z$ gives a polynomial of degree 5, which must have a (clearly different) real root by the intermediate value theorem -it tends to both $\pm\infty$.
nbubis' proof is very nice but uses algebraic closure of $\mathbb C$ -the fundamental theorem of algebra. The intermediate value theorem is simpler to prove.
EDIT: Well I should have read Henry's answer, mine overlaps alot with his. The main thing I add perhaps is that we do not need the distinct roots assumption.

Use MbPT land for slum rehab, says Sena MP
Monday, Jan 22, 2018 | Source: Times of India | Internet-News Paper | Page 05
Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant has demanded the rehabilitation of people living in slums on Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) land and questioned the delay in implementing a project there. Union shipping minister Nitin Gadkari had given a goahead for the project but it is not being implemented, he said.
"If the government wants to develop the east coast of the city, slum-dwellers who are residing on Mumbai Port Trust land have to be rehabilitated. In Mumbai, MbPT owns vast tracts of land and many buildings on its land are over 100 years old and are dilapidated," Sawant said.
He said residents themselves were willing to develop their buildings but MbPT was not allowing them to do so.
"The buildings need to be redeveloped immediately. Thus, the state government has to take the initiative and make a joint venture with MbPT," Sawant said. The MP said he had raised the issue of redevelopment under SRA (Slum Rehabilitation Authority) with the Centre.
"Gadkari approved the proposal. The delay is by the Cabinet," he said. The idea to utilise unused port land was mooted by the state in 2001.

26 November 2021 Minister Releases
Supported through the Australian Government's Regional Bushfire Recovery Fund, the program includes funding for a Citizen Science Coordinator position based within the Atlas of Living Australia hosted by Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, to support the delivery of three bushfire recovery projects.
Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said citizen science projects present a unique opportunity to improve the science on bushfires, future preparations and bushfire actions.
"Three projects under the program are supporting fire-affected communities to engage with nature and the science of recovery," Minister Ley said.
"The first project will see CSIRO run a series of weekend long 'BioBlitz' events in bushfire-affected regions across NSW to generate new evidence on the impacts of large-scale fire on biodiversity."
A BioBlitz is a collaborative event to discover and record as many living things as possible within a set location and period of time and will involve both scientists and the general public.
"The $485,000 program includes two other projects which will develop resources to support citizen scientists to monitor post-fire plant recovery and identify active threats, and to digitise historic invertebrate records, ensuring their ongoing value," Minister Ley said.
"Volunteers have digitised and transcribed thousands of specimens so far from CSIRO's National Insect Collection using the DigiVol platform, getting us off to an incredible start."
The BioBlitz events will be delivered by CSIRO in partnership with the Australian Citizen Science Association, University of New South Wales' Environment Recovery Project and Minderoo's Fire and Flood Initiative.
With partners from Western Sydney University and CSIRO's National Research Collections Australia, all three projects will draw on a pool of experienced citizen scientists to document how Australia's unique plants, animals and fungi recover from fire and expand our understanding of invertebrates by building a collection that can be used by taxonomists, ecologists, and researchers.

What to never drink before a workout
06.30.2018 Comments Off on What to never drink before a workout
Unless you want your sweat sesh to turn into a struggle-fest, hydrating before a workout is clutch. "When your body is dehydrated, you don't have the proper muscle power, accuracy, and balance you need to complete a decent workout," says nutritionist Angela Onsgard.
But what you put in your body pre-workout definitely matters. According to Columbia University, you're supposed to drink water two hours before a workout, during warm-up, and every 10 to 20 minutes depending on the amount of sweat you're producing. That's a lot of liquid—so you best be sure you're sipping the right stuff.
Here what you should never chug before a workout.
MILK-BASED ENERGY DRINKS
"Dairy-containing beverages are better to consume post-workout as opposed to before or during," says Onsgard. Since milk contains protein, carbohydrates, and fat, it takes a lot of time to digest, she says. (And that's not a good thing when you're trying to bang out burpees.) Instead, swig whey protein packets mixed with filtered water for some mojo. You'll get the benefits of the protein, minus the fat and longer digestion time you'd get with dairy.
SUGARY FRUIT DRINKS
"Most fruity drinks are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a manmade sweetener that's been shown to initiate liver dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, and obesity," says Onsgard. Instead, liven up your water bottle with fresh citrus fruits, berries, mint, or basil. "Or opt for coconut water, which replenishes the electrolytes you'll lose during your workout," Onsgard says.
This one might sound like a given, as not too many people charge up for a workout with a round of beers, but even sipping on a cocktail hours before you work out is no good. "Alcohol is dehydrating, inflammatory, and negatively impacts balance and decision-making," says Onsgard. Not ideal when you're trying to decide how much weight to lift. "If you need a pick-me-up, have some coffee of the dark roast variety (which has less caffeine than lighter roasts)," Onsgard says. "It can increase alertness and improve exercise performance."
Fizzy drinks can cause bloating, abdominal pain, and gas (as if getting through your workout wasn't hard enough). They also contain significant amounts of sodium, which draws water out of the body's cells and can cause dehydration. If you're a diet Coke fiend, know that most brands contain aspartame, anartificial sweetener that's been linked to a number of side effects such as migraines, dizziness, memory loss, and mood swings. "Instead, go for an iced-cold green tea drink," says Onsgard. "It's naturally high in antioxidants and is shown to reduce the risk of several types of cancer."
"You might get some added vitamins and electrolytes from some sports drinks, but the high sugar content goes right through your system to cause an energy crash later on," says Onsgard. "It can wreak havoc on your hormonal system and is a strain for your body to process, on top of the repairing requirements that follow a workout." Instead, gulp down some additive-free tomato juice, which provides potassium, has natural sugars, and promotes healthy blood pressure.

Bangkok for Beginners
For those lucky enough to live in Bangkok 30-odd years ago - then a city with beautiful tree-lined canals and hardly a tourist in sight - the idea of a Mass Transit System was just the stuff of wishful drinking in local bars. In those halcyon days of bobbing boats and creaking buses, public transportation gave little indication of a high-tech future. Taxis were rusting relics, where wise passengers held the passenger door in place to prevent possible fall out en route. Air conditioned cabs were an unthinkable luxury, as was the vision of an elevated rail system snaking its way through the disorganised jungle of city structures. A Tube, London style, was considered 'impossible' since according to the experts, regular flooding and the muddy clay soil of the Thai capital precluded any underground railway.
But what a difference technology, an economic boom, political will, and a quarter of a century can make. Bangkok now boasts a Skytrain (BTS), a Subway (MRT), and an Airport Rail Link the latter of standards which puts the London Underground to shame.
The BTS, MRT, and the Airport Rail Link links most main suburban centres and Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
The elevated BTS solved most of its logistical problems by being built directly above the main city centre roads of Silom and Sukhumvit, and the two lines are named after them with an interchange at Siam Centre (Siam). To minimise chaos, the hundreds of huge spans were pre-cast outside the city, with the resulting jigsaw of segments trucked into place over many months in the middle of the night. Local people would wake up to darkened pavements outside, ugly concrete structures began to obstruct familiar skylines, and purists progressively puffed their disapproval.
Destinations which before could take hours now took minutes on the electric trains running quietly on welded tracks, and serving some of the most congested areas in the Thai capital. It provides comprehensive tourist information, maps, excursions, souvenirs and gifts, and even WiFi at the BTS Tourist Information Centres.
This comes in addition to the total of over 23 kilometres of excellent, user-friendly transportation, running efficiently from 06:00 to midnight at an average speed of 35 kph - slow enough to absorb the fascinating ever-changing views. The driver announces the upcoming station name in Thai and English just before the train arrives. Fares depend on distance. There are a variety of packaged ticketing options, but the best bet for sightseeing is the 1-day unlimited travel pass. The BTS stations are enhanced by pleasingly creative designs, and equipped with many thoughtful facilities, including a first aid room. The BTS has interchange stations with the MRT and the Airport Rail Link, and to top off the convenience, free shuttle buses link several stations with key destinations in the respective areas. Escalators are at all stations. Most popular stops for visitors are as follows:
Asok: For the Siam Society research library and Khamtieng House, an old Chiang Mai residence. For shoppers: Terminal 21 and Times Square. Interchange here with Sukhumvit MRT Station.
Chidlom: A convenient place to shop with walkway connections to Central Chidlom, Amarin Plaza, Gaysorn Shopping Centre, Central World, and the fascinating Erawan Shrine.
National Stadium: A short walk brings you to the huge and fascinating chaos of Mahboonkrong Centre or MBK, with its bewildering buy-anything bargain stalls. It is the closest station to Jim Thompson's house.
Phrom Phong: Linked to Emporium and Emquartier, shop and have fun for hours.
Phaya Thai: Visit this busy, crowded shopping area.
Mochit: The stop for the huge weekend market of Chatuchak, with its extraordinary kaleidoscope of products. Go early to beat the heat. Interchange here with Chatuchak Park MRT Station.
Siam: (Get off here to go to another BTS line) A trendy shopping area with a walkway into Siam Centre and Siam Paragon, leading out to the maze of smaller shops in Siam Square's lanes and alleyways. Also close to this station are cinemas and bookstores.
Sala Daeng: Linked to Central Silom Complex, this area offers a wide variety of shopping by day, and is packed with roadside stalls at night. It is the closest station to Patpong Night Market and entertainment areas. Interchange here with Silom MRT Station.
Saphan Taksin: This terminal station links to ferries on the Chao Phraya River, with convenient connections to the "Chao Phraya Express " boats that go northwards to the jetties serving the Grand Palace area (Tha Maharat, Tha Tien, Tha Chang or Tha Phra Chan) Alighting at Thai Tien jetty gives you access to a smaller ferry boat to visit Wat Arun across the river.
MRT Underground Train
Officially called the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and in Thai as "rot fai fah mahanakhon ("metropolitan electric train") or more often as the rot fai tai din ("underground train") the line operates from 06:00 to 24:00), and extends in a wide loop.
It has interchanges with the BTS stations. To protect against periodic flooding, station entrances are elevated above ground, and equipped with built-in floodgates. To prevent accidents and suicides, a glassed-in Automatic Platform Screen Door separates the platform and track, and opens only when the trains pull in and stop. All stations feature lifts and ramps for disabled people.
As with the BTS, there are a number of ticket types, which only need to be held close to the ticket barriers to operate them, thanks to a proximity sensor. Tokens are used for single journeys. There are unlimited 1-day tickets.
The Main Bangkok Subway Stations
Silom: Major shopping area, connecting to Central Silom Complex. Walking distance to the nightlife and street market area of Patpong. Interchange with Sala Daeng BTS Station.
Lumphini: Close to the Suan Lum Night Bazaar, the Lumpini Boxing Stadium and to several foreign missions, including the Australian, Austrian, Belgian, Danish, French and German Embassies.
Queen Sirikit Convention Centre: Bangkok's main venue for exhibitions and trade shows.
Sukhumvit: Terminal 21 and Soi Cowboy. Interchange with the BTS Asok Station.
Phetchaburi: Near the Japanese Embassy and connects to Airport Link Makkasan Station.
Rama 9: Fortune Town and Central Rama 9
Thailand Cultural Centre: Close to the Chinese Embassy, Big C Extra, and Esplanade.
Chatuchak: Explore the Chatuchak Weekend Market and take a stroll through Benjathas Park (Suan Rot Fai).
Kamphaeng Phet: The stop for "Farmers Market" - excellent and inexpensive fruit and vegetable produce here.
