The Glorias Trailer #2 Explores Trailblazing Life of Feminist Gloria Steinem
The Glorias trailer has arrived. Journalist, fighter, and feminist Gloria Steinem is an indelible icon known for her world-shaping activism, guidance of the revolutionary women's movement, and writing that has impacted generations. In the nontraditional biopic, Julie Taymor crafts a complex tapestry of one of the most inspirational and legendary figures of modern history, which is based on Steinem's own biographical book My Life on the Road. The movie will premiere on Amazon Prime Video September 30th.
The Glorias trailer traces Steinem's influential journey to prominence-from her time in India as a young woman, to the founding of Ms. magazine in New York, to her role in the rise of the women's rights movement in the 1960s, to the historic 1977 National Women's Conference and beyond. Steinem was met with opposition every step of the way, and the trailer does more than hint at that. The movie had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on in January of this year, where it received praise from critics. Shortly after, Roadside Attractions and LD Entertainment acquired distribution rights to the movie.
The Glorias includes a number of iconic women who made profound contributions to the women's movement, including Dorothy Pitman Hughes (Janelle Mon&áe), Flo Kennedy (Lorraine Toussaint), Bella Abzug (Bette Midler), Dolores Huerta (Monica Sanchez) and Wilma Mankiller (Kimberly Guerrero). Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Lulu Wilson, and Ryan Keira Armstrong all take on the role of Steinem at different times in her life. Moore and Vikander play her from age 20 to 40.
Julie Taymor gives us her singular take on that rare genre- the Female Road Picture, one in which the female leads do not die in the end, and where the "narrative" is not driven by romance or a bad marriage, or unrequited love or, for that matter, men. Gloria Steinem's road story is about her Meetings With Remarkable Women. And that is a love story in itself. Steinem was recently interviewed about her outlook on life. She had this to say.
"Well, I would only say that hope is a form of planning. Hope is what we have as a vision of the future, and if you allow that to be taken away from you, then you're defeated from the beginning. So it isn't that I'm blindly optimistic, though I am hopeful, but I do treasure and value and try to gain support in myself for hope, and that means being with people who share your hopes. We are communal animals. We're not meant to be by ourselves, and that's what social justice movements are for."
The Glorias is directed by Julie Taymor, who also wrote the screenplay with Sarah Ruhl. Gloria Steinem's story was also recently told in the stage play Gloria: A Life with Christine Lahti playing the feminist leader Off-Broadway. Her story was also told in Hulu's Mrs. America where she was played by actress Rose Byrne. You can check out the trailer for The Glorias above, thanks to the RoadsideFlix YouTube channel.

Exemplar Program Essays and Case Studies
The Exemplar Program provided two years of support (2005-2007), totaling $150,000 to each of 12 small to midsized arts and cultural organizations nationwide. The organizations were recognized for outstanding cultural work in their communities and in the field, based on their participation in the Animating Democracy program and the Working Capital Fund. Supported by the Ford Foundation, the Exemplar Program aimed to foster a holistic and integrated approach to organizational health, institutional growth, civic engagement, and aesthetic investigation.
Community-Based Arts Organizations: A New Center of Gravity [PDF]
by Ron Chew
Summary: Amid changing demographics, a new political climate, technological advances, and globalization, small and mid-sized community-based arts organizations offer artistic excellence and innovation, astute leadership connected to community needs, and important institutional and engagement models for the arts field. As value-based organizations, they are purposeful and have a sustained commitment to fundamental values related to cultural responsibility, ethical practices, and respectful relationships. Attuned to significantly changing demographics, they honor both cultural legacies and future possibilities, understanding them as a continuum, not a contradiction. They often work in partnerships that cross silos and sectors to connect art organically with other areas such as health, community development, humanities, and social justice. They are multilingual in more ways than just language, and their social networks run broad and deep.
This essay by Ron Chew, Principal, Chew Communications and former long-time director of the Wing Luke Asian Museum, makes the case for greater support of this important segment of cultural organizations, exemplified by such organizations as Arte Publico Press in Houston; East Bay Center for the Performing Arts in Oakland, CA; Ma-Yi Theater Company in New York City; and the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago. Chew underscores their crucial contributions to the cultural ecosystem, to civic culture, and toward achieving healthy communities and a healthy democracy. This essay was developed for and supported by the Exemplar Program, a program of Animating Democracy in collaboration with the LarsonAllen LLC, with funding from The Ford Foundation.
A Time of Crisis, A Moment for Art: Sojourn Theatre and the Lima Senior High Dialogue Project [PDF]
by Judith E. Gilbert, Martha S. MacDonell, and Mary F. Weis
Summary: This case study documents Sojourn Theatre Company's intervention at Lima, OH, Senior High School following a tragic shooting in 2008 that resurfaced racial tensions in the community. Lima City Schools enlisted Allen County Common Threads, a locally based volunteer group promoting arts-based civic dialogue and Sojourn Theatre Company to implement an immediate arts-based project to help students process the tragedy. Sojourn interviewed students, and wrote, performed, and recorded theatrical monologues expressing student perspectives on the incident and the racial tensions exposed by it. The recorded monologues became the centerpoint for school-wide dialogue facilitated by Common Threads volunteers. The case study describes the role artists can play in a crisis as well as the challenges of the fast pace dictated by crisis. It also underscores the continued value of arts-based civic engagement in this one community over time and the importance of artistic and financial resource for immediate crisis response.
Community-Based Artistic Practice: Perspectives from a Gathering of Exemplar Artist Companies [PDF]
by Hanna Treuhaft
Summary: In November 2007, artistic directors from four artist-led organizations (Cornerstone Theater Company, Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, Sojourn Theatre, and Urban Bush Women) gathered to share ideas about community-engaged art practices, and connection with and responsibility to audiences and young artists. This report, written by Hannah Treuhaft, a company member from Sojourn Theatre and participant at the gathering, recaps and assembles themes and perspective from the four participating organizations. Through discussion, four themes and conversations dominated: 1) methodologies and implications of entering and leaving communities through residency projects, 2) annual training institutes and leadership training for citizen-artist participants, 3) successes and challenges of corporate partnerships as a source of revenue, and 4) arts-based community practice for traveling artist companies and their relationship to their home communities.
Strategies for Developing Organizational Sustainability: Long-Term Relationships in the Arts
The National Black Arts Festival and The Woodruff Arts Center Partnership Development Project [PDF]
by Mikki Shepard
Summary: To build organizational capacity and provide sustainability, the National Black Arts Festival (NBAF) board and executive staff leadership considered a range of diverse strategies. Recent discussions between NBAF, the Woodruff Arts Center (The Woodruff), and local supporters resulted in a sustainability strategy that would consider a more formal relationship between NBAF and the Woodruff. With this strategy on the table, a research process was launched by NBAF to survey and learn more about the long-term relationships of other arts organizations to inform the negotiation and development of its own relationship with the Woodruff Arts Center and its divisions—the High Museum of Art, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Alliance Theatre, and Young Audiences.
The resulting report, Strategies for Developing Organizational Sustainability: Long-Term Relationships in the Arts by Mikki Shepard, shares lessons learned as through a survey of research reports exploring long-term relationships and partnerships between arts organizations. Through the summary of findings, Shepard's report focuses in detail on the conditions for forming relationships, strategies and process for favorable negotiation, perspective on benefits and challenges of forming partnerships, and reasons for success— and the lessons learned. Though there is no one formula for a navigating successful long-term relationship, the study offers a basis of understanding and provides a selection of areas that arts organizations should explore as they arere considering defining a long-term partnership in their own communities.
Toward Sustainability: A Partnership Case Study of The National Black Arts Festival and The Woodruff Arts Center [PDF]
by Vanessa Whang
Summary: In the spring of 2004, an anonymous donor made a five-year gift to underwrite the National Black Arts Festival's (NBAF) use of venues on the The Robert W. Woodruff Arts Center's campus—which includes the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, High Museum of Art, and Young Audiences. The gift (and its forthcoming expiration) served as the impetus for NBAF to explore possible ways of working with The Woodruff that would institutionalize a relationship of mutual benefit and enhance the sustainability of both organizations.
In this case study, Vanessa Whang chronicles the details of the process between NBAF and the Woodruff (and its affiliated organizations) as they sought to explore synergies and shared interests toward the development of a mutually beneficial relationship. Grounded in general "partnership rules of thumb," Whang documents the meetings that invited staff and leadership from each organization to define a collective vision based on programmatic collaboration; and to consider the larger concerns of a potential lasting relationship that would enhance NBAF's sustainability and further Woodruff's institutional goals. Further, Whang deconstructs the elements of the partnership development process, including stumbling blocks and success factors, in an effort to encourage and guide organizations beginning new partnerships.
Transitions and Evolutions: An Investigation of Founding Artistic Director Succession at Cornerstone Theater Company and Liz Lerman Dance Exchange [PDF]
by Lisa Mount, Artistic Logistics
Summary: Cornerstone Theater Company and Liz Lerman Dance Exchange have each experienced founding artistic director transitions in the recent past, although the nature of those processes—and leadership results—have differed. Over the course of ten months—from December 2006 to August 2007, key individuals from Cornerstone and Dance Exchange gathered for three conversations facilitated by Lisa Mount that investigated what an artistic founder transition or evolution was and is like—primarily for the new leaders of the organizations, secondarily for the founders themselves. In this essay, Mount offers participants' reflections on these transitions and assembles common themes that emerged as each group shared their transition stories. With comparative analysis of the organizations and their transition, the writer recounts the evolution of each organization through the process—reflecting on changes in practice, shifts in internal leadership, and the unforeseen circumstances of a founder's departure—as was the case for Cornerstone, or new role—as is the case for Dance Exchange. The essay draws out specific questions that organizations and individuals should consider as they design their own process to facilitate similar change.
Shaping a Critical Discourse: A Report on the Joint Convening of Artography: Arts in a Changing America and the Animating Democracy/ Working Capital Fund Exemplar Program [PDF]
by Caron Atlas
Summary: In May, 2007, grantees from the Artography and Animating Democracy/Working Capital Fund Exemplar programs, both supported by The Ford Foundation, met together in Chicago to share their experiences and consider ways they might draw on the collective power of their work. The resulting report, Shaping a Critical Discourse, written by Caron Atlas, explores the topics of aesthetics, new ways of working, and leadership taken up at the cohort-designed gathering. The convening revealed and embraced the creative tensions and contradictions of working in the context of changing demographics, engaging generational shifts and new approaches to collaborative community practices, having diverse value-based structures, and being a cultural agent of change. Session-by-session summaries and resources from the meetings are posted along with the report.
Report on the Animating Democracy/Working Capital Fund Exemplars Convening
December 7 – 9, 2005 - Santa Fe, New Mexico [PDF]
Summary: Representatives of the 12 small and mid-sized organizations participating in Americans for the Arts Exemplar Program convened in December 2005 in Santa Fe New Mexico. Recognized for outstanding cultural work in their communities and in the field based on their participation in Animating Democracy and the Working Capital Fund, the groups explored topic areas related to aesthetic investigation, institutional health and capacity, and civic engagement. From the convening, a report was compiled highlighting the event from beginning to end. With implications for the entire field, the report summarizes key topics areas in relation to challenges and opportunities among cohort members. The Exemplar Program was funded by The Ford Foundation.

The scope of the 'aliens' power in the …
The scope of the 'aliens' power in the Constitution
by Jackson Wherrett
The High Court, by majority, has declined to recognise that British subjects who commenced residing permanently in Australia before the concept of Australian citizenship was created by statute on 26 January 1949 are outside the scope of the aliens power in s 51(xix) of the Constitution. In so holding, the High Court's decision suggests that the carve out recognised in Love v Commonwealth (2020) 94 ALJR 198 – that a certain category of Aboriginal Australians is not within the reach of the aliens power – is a narrow one.
Mr Chetcuti was born in 1945 in Malta, then a colony of the United Kingdom. He arrived in Australia on 31 July 1948. At the time of his arrival, he was a British subject. He became a citizen of Malta when that country became independent in 1964. He never applied for Australian citizenship. He was taken to be granted an Absorbed Person visa under amendments to the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) made in 1994.
In 1993, Mr Chetcuti was convicted of murder and sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 24 years. In 2017, the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection cancelled Mr Chetcuti's visa pursuant to s 501(3) of the Migration Act. Mr Chetcuti was subsequently taken into immigration detention.
In June 2020, Mr Chetcuti filed a summons in the original jurisdiction of the High Court seeking a declaration that he is not an alien within the meaning of s 51(xix) of the Constitution, and therefore could not lawfully be detained or removed from Australia. Mr Chetcuti argued that he entered Australia as a British subject outside the constitutional conception of an 'alien', and that his 'non-alien' status continued as he became a subject of the Queen of Australia when the Crown divided into the Crown in right of the United Kingdom and the Crown in right of Australia (which he said occurred sometime after his arrival).
Nettle J's decision
Somewhat unusually, at a directions hearing, Nettle J raised the possibility of his Honour hearing the case sitting alone, on the basis that the matter could be heard by him much more quickly than if it were to wait for a hearing before the Full Court. The parties did not oppose that course. His Honour heard the case on 13 November 2020 and delivered judgment on 26 November, days before his retirement on 30 November (Chetcuti v Commonwealth (2020) 95 ALJR 1).
Nettle J held that it was open to the Parliament to treat Mr Chetcuti as an alien. In summary, his Honour held that '[t]he absence of permanent allegiance to Australia is the essence of alienage' (at [34]). On that basis, he said that 'generally speaking, it is within the legislative competence of the Parliament to treat a foreign citizen, who is not an Australian citizen, as an alien' (at [36]). Mr Chetcuti appealed Nettle J's decision to the Full Court.
Full Court's decision
The Full Court, by a 6:1 majority, dismissed the appeal. In a joint judgment, Kiefel CJ, Gageler, Keane and Gleeson JJ held (at [14]) that the answer to Mr Chetcuti's case was found in the reasons of the majority in Shaw v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (2003) 218 CLR 28. In particular, the majority affirmed the holding in Shaw that 'the aliens power encompasses both power to determine who is and who is not to have the legal status of an alien and power to attach consequences to that status' (at [12]; see Shaw at [2]).
In Shaw, the Court considered the status of a British subject who arrived in Australia in 1974. The majority concluded that Australia had become sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom by 1948. In that year, the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 (Cth) (Citizenship Act) was enacted, which created a statutory concept of Australian citizenship. On the basis that Australia had become independent at least by that date (at [20]), the majority held that the Parliament could treat British subjects who arrived in Australia after 26 January 1949 (the date the Citizenship Act commenced), and who were born outside Australia to parents who are not Australian, as aliens.
Kiefel CJ, Gageler, Keane and Gleeson JJ held that the majority's reasoning in Shaw 'equally supports the conclusion that the aliens power has reached all those persons who entered this country before 26 January 1949 who did not then or did not afterwards become Australian citizens' (at [14]). Their Honours said that, in enacting the Citizenship Act, it was open to the Parliament to deny Mr Chetcuti – as a person born outside Australia whose parents were not Australian – the status of Australian citizen and thereby to treat him as an alien (at [32]).
Their Honours observed that, although Mr Chetcuti did not qualify for Australian citizenship when the Citizenship Act commenced, his position was not 'irremediable' (at [33]). It was open to Mr Chetcuti, as a British subject, to apply for Australian citizenship once he had resided in Australia for five years. That course was available to him until amendments to the Citizenship Act in 1973. He never did so, and thus he remained within the scope of the aliens power. Unlike Nettle J, their Honours arrived at this conclusion 'without need to explore common law notions of allegiance and alienage' (at [34]).
Gordon J agreed that the case was answered by Shaw (at [36]). Her Honour held that the majority's reasoning in Shaw made it clear that Australia had become sufficiently independent by the time of Mr Chetcuti's arrival in July 1948 (at [47]). Having said that, her Honour reiterated what she had said in Love, which was that Parliament's power to create and define the statutory concept of citizenship does not supply the meaning of the word 'alien' (at [37]). In contrast to the joint judgment, Gordon J did not rule out the possibility that there might be a class of persons who arrived in Australia before 26 January 1949, who were born outside Australia to parents who were not Australian, who are not aliens (at [50]).
Edelman J agreed with the result, but by a different path of reasoning. His Honour identified the question as being whether Mr Chetcuti was an alien when he was said to fall within the application of the Migration Act, i.e., when his visa was cancelled in 2017 (at [56]). Whatever his status when he arrived in Australia, it was not 'cryogenically frozen'– it was subject to the application of the Constitution to new political and social facts and circumstances.
Edelman J went further than both the reasoning in the joint judgment and Gordon J by offering a definition of the constitutional concept of 'alien'. His Honour characterised the 'essential meaning' of the term – being the meaning that does not change over time – as 'a foreigner to the Australian political community' (at [53]). In his Honour's view, the meaning of 'alien' does not correspond precisely with the concepts of 'non-allegiance' or 'non-citizenship' (at [60]).
Applying the essential meaning of 'alien' to the facts, Edelman J held that Mr Chetcuti was capable of being treated as an alien at least from 2017. That was because, as at 2017, Mr Chetcuti was born outside Australia, had no Australian parents, was not an Australian citizen and was a citizen of a foreign country (at [94]).
Steward J dissented. His Honour held that, in Shaw, the majority had identified a 'bright line' when the Crown in right of Australia emerged, being 26 January 1949 (at [134]). Despite expressing some misgivings about the correctness of that conclusion (at [131]), his Honour said that the decision in Shaw was 'a necessary and convenient constitutional fiction which should not now be disturbed' (at [134]). From that date, a British subject who arrived in Australia did so as an alien.
On that basis, Steward J held that Mr Chetcuti was not an alien when he arrived before that date (at [135]). Further, his Honour held that Mr Chetcuti did not subsequently become an alien when the Crown in right of Australia emerged six months later. At that time, Mr Chetcuti's allegiance to the Crown in right of the United Kingdom was 'replaced' by an allegiance to the Crown in right of Australia (at [143]).
Australia's independence
This case was hotly anticipated by constitutional lawyers as the occasion for the High Court to decide the date of Australia's independence, at least insofar as the answer to that question is relevant to the aliens power. To assist the Court in identifying the relevant date, the parties prepared a special case which set out the process of Australia's independence in what Edelman J described as 'painstaking detail' (at [73]).
Only Nettle J and Steward J identified a date (being 1942 and 1949 respectively). Edelman J expressly rejected the existence of any 'magic date' (at [73]). However, Kiefel CJ, Gageler, Keane and Gleeson JJ and Gordon J did not need to decide the issue in order to resolve the case. As a consequence, it may be that the question will never be authoritatively answered, given that the number of British subjects who arrived in Australia before 26 January 1949, and who are not citizens, will only become smaller over time.

Gregers Christian Nissen (* 3. Mai 1867 in Soholm; † 20. Juni 1942 in Hamburg) war ein deutscher Fahrradpionier und Radsportfunktionär.

Leben
Gregers Nissen war Volksschullehrer und Vater von zehn Kindern. Er selbst war mit sieben Jahren verwaist und wuchs in Leck bei Verwandten auf. Schon früh erwarb er ein altes Hochrad aus Eisen, das er selbst instand setzte. Zum Studium zog er 1885 nach Eckernförde; dort gehörte er 1887 zu den Mitbegründern der "RG Eckernförde". Er unternahm weite Reisen mit dem Fahrrad, anfangs noch auf seinem Hochrad.

1890 wurde Nissen als Lehrer nach Altona versetzt. Schon im selben Jahr wurde er zum Ersten Vorsitzenden des ältesten deutschen Radsportvereins, des Altonaer Bicycle-Club von 1869/80, gewählt. 1891 trat Nissen dem Gau-Vorstand des Deutschen Radfahrer-Bundes (DRB) bei; als solcher organisierte er im Jahr darauf eine "Huldigungsfahrt" mit rund 1200 Teilnehmern nach Friedrichsruh, dem Wohnsitz des ehemaligen deutschen Reichskanzlers Otto von Bismarck. Von 1893 an bekleidete er über Jahrzehnte beim DRB und später beim Bund Deutscher Radfahrer (BDR) das Amt des "Wanderfachwarts" und wurde "Prophet des Radwanderns" genannt. 1915 regte Nissen (vergebens) die systematische Anlage von Radfahrwegen nach dem Vorbild der Niederlande in Deutschland an. Er initiierte zu diesem Zweck die Kampagne "Schafft Radfahrwege für Stadt und Land!", die von bekannten Persönlichkeiten, unter ihnen Carl Diem, unterzeichnet wurde.

Besondere Verdienste um das Radwandern erwarb sich Nissen auch durch das Verfassen umfangreicher Literatur sowie dem Erstellen von Radwanderkarten. Sein Buch Das Wanderfahren auf dem Rade erschien bspw. in mehreren Auflagen.

Zusammen mit seinem Freund und Topographen Robert Mittelbach erstellte er ein Konzept für Radwanderkarten. Diese erschienen zwischen 1886 und 1896 in 82 Blättern als Deutsche Strassenprofilkarten für Radfahrer im Maßstab 1 : 300 000 in Mittelbachs Verlag. Sie hatten eine Größe von 40 × 32 cm, waren einseitig farbig bedruckt und – wie damals üblich – auf Leinen aufgezogen, um sie reißfest zu machen. Auf der Karte waren die wichtigsten Verbindungen zwischen den Ortschaften als gerade Linien dargestellt, an denen – in unterschiedlichen Rottönen zur Kategorisierung der Straßen nach Befahrbarkeit – die Höhenprofile der Strecken sozusagen auf die Seite geklappt waren. An diesen Profilen konnten die Steigungen und die Länge der Strecken abgelesen werden. Die Karten wurden bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg verlegt.

Nissen starb 1942 kurz nach seinem 75. Geburtstag.

What We Did On Our Summer [Not] Vacation
September 27, 2021 / loebmusic / 0 Comments
As we hurtle into the second month of the semester, I thought it was a good time to take a look back at what some Music Library staff have been working on over the past 18 months, and to get their suggestions about what not to miss around campus. Welcome to, or back to, Cambridge; we hope we'll see you around the library soon!
Tell us something you've been working on!
Christina Linklater, Keeper of the Isham Memorial Library and Houghton Music Cataloger

Since 2018, I have been involved with a student-faculty-library collaboration called The Eileen Southern Initiative. Working from home allowed me to focus more energy on this project than I otherwise would have been able to do. I am proud and excited to report that it is leading up to some big events in the coming academic year: virtual symposia, a student-created documentary film, a digital exhibition and, coming in January 2022, an actual in-person exhibition in the Music Library. I can't wait to share what we've discovered about Professor Southern, a musicologist who was the first African-American woman to receive tenure at Harvard.
[Editor's note: the Initiative's first online event, "Black Women and the American University: Eileen Southern's Story" will be held from 4:00-5:00 PM Eastern time on November 15, 2021; register now to receive the link.]
Joe Kinzer, Senior Curatorial Assistant, Archive of World Music
I have been working on the long and tedious processes of metadata corrections and additions to finding aids, such as the James A. Rubin Collection of South Indian Classical Music or Somali Songs, 1955-1991: The Maryan "Aryette" Omar Ali Collection. Another project, "Singing the Story of Dhrangadhra," is a digital exhibit highlighting our Jayasinhji Jhala Collection of Dhrangadhra Music (Western Indian Court Music).
Liz Berndt-Morris, Reference and Research Services Librarian
Throughout the summer I've been a member of a Harvard Library task force on inclusive spaces. We worked to gather and analyze data about current library spaces and other spaces on campus and are currently using that information to inform us on next steps to make our library spaces welcoming to everyone.
Lingwei Qiu, Library Assistant for Print Music
I have processed 1200+ musical scores, cataloging and sewing them into pam folders, the covers we add to help them stay in good condition and open flat on a music stand, to make them ready for use. I completed some projects that could be done online, and attended music library related conferences and meetings, like MLA (the Music Library Association's annual conference) and NEMLA (the New England Music Library Association).
Hand-sewing scores into pamphlets.
Only a few of the new journals and scores waiting for Lingwei!
Kerry Masteller, Reference and Digital Program Librarian
Liz and I gave a presentation for the New England Music Library Association – We're Still Here! Teaching Research Remotely (PDF) – and now that we're on campus again, we're translating some of the things we learned about working with large classes online to our in person teaching. Spoiler alert: it's tough getting used to not having the chat for low-stakes feedback!
Whether or not you're new to campus, don't miss…
The Employee Assistance Program has found me a dentist, a lawyer, and a childcare scholarship. They will triage and direct any inquiry, no matter how odd: there must be limits to the EAP but in 21 years at Harvard I haven't managed to stump them!

Meet the Problem Solvers: Christina Linklater, Keeper of the Isham Memorial Library and Houghton Music Cataloger
June 30, 2021 / linklater / 1 Comment
For the last in our Meet the Problem Solvers series, Kerry Masteller spoke with Christina Linklater about metadata, microforms and magic.
You can take the Keeper of the Isham Memorial Library out of Ottawa, but she'll fill her Somerville garden with tulips.
So, tell us a little bit about what you do, Christina.
In my role as Keeper of the Isham Memorial Library, I mostly manage the movement of special collections materials at the Music Library. I also co-administer our exhibition program with my colleague Patricia O'Brien, provide reference assistance to patrons and direct the United States RISM Office. That's one half of my week. The rest of my week is spent as a music cataloger at Houghton Library.
What's different about those two jobs?
Well, at Isham I'm in a public-facing role most of the time, ready to assist anyone who needs help with Isham's materials specifically or special collections research generally. At Houghton I spend my entire day at a desk in the stacks, making records that then appear in HOLLIS.
What role do special collections play at the University?
I've seen students encounter Isham's collections in the classroom, as well as for their research and to discover new repertoire. I also think that the presence of Isham is valuable for students as a place to meet visiting scholars, who find that it is simpler to travel to Isham with its 40,000 microforms than to visit multiple libraries. Bringing together researchers at different stages of their careers is something that special collections is uniquely suited to; while we exist at and for Harvard, a collection like Isham's can't help but attract a wide user community, and it's really nice to witness those interactions.
What's an Isham Memorial Library secret that more people should know?
That the lives and works lists of composers, particularly composers who are not white men, are much more complex, important interesting than most reference sources can tell you. For instance, Isham's Joyce Mekeel collection was catalogued after the Grove article came out, and the finding aid says so much about Mekeel and her work that that writer simply couldn't have known. Same with the collections of Fred Ho and Aziz El-Shawan: all stories can be enriched by looking at archival materials, but it's especially striking in the stories of people like Mekeel and El-Shawan who published not at all or very little in their lifetimes, leaving these large bodies of manuscript scores that are just quietly waiting for you at Isham.
If we could magically go to a concert right now, what would we be hearing?
How magical is this performance? Like, can we bring people back from the dead?
It is as magical as you want it to be.
Right! Let's go to Glenn Gould's cottage on Lake Simcoe, then, where he'll play the Goldberg Variations. First the drastic 1955 version, followed by the twilight 1981 version. We'll sleep well after that.

Don't call us blenders, we are lubricants designers.
What is it that distinguishes work from art? The answer is one: quality. To make something with art means doing it the best way. It means that what is produced excels compared to the other products of the same genre. Pakelo make made to measure lubricant oils as a tailor makes clothes. They are made to measure. In order to get these results it has always invested a lot in research activities, valorising men and machines that work on the fine detail that has permitted the development of lubricants especially for clients who require very high quality performance. Experience, talent, competence, and it's still not sufficient: to get to where the others don't, to make the difference, it's necessary to have something else: fantasy, imagination, determination. This is what contradistinguishes the Pakelo brand from all the others.

QinetiQ to introduce Pointer T system for Royal Navy's ASW training
Hemanth 3 weeks ago
QinetiQ has received a contract from the British Royal Navy to introduce a training variant of the company's Pointer system to help optimise anti-surface warfare (ASW) training.
The five-year contract is intended to help boost the effectiveness of ASW training on a wide range of weapon systems.
QinetiQ developed the Pointer data analytics and measurement system in collaboration with the UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD) Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) under a research project aimed at tackling threats presented by small boats.
The system is designed to counter threats from fast in-shore attack craft (FIAC) by providing the link between the command and control function and weapon operators.
The Royal Navy will use the Pointer T system in flag officer sea training (FOST) exercises to improve situational awareness and performance evaluation on a range of platforms.
QinetiQ maritime programmes director Stuart Hider said: "The introduction of Pointer T will provide invaluable feedback and data analytics for FOST trainers while also helping to engage and motivate gunnery teams.
"Countering the current and emerging threats of piracy, terrorist attack and threats from more capable nations, is vital for all platforms, and this advanced training solution will not only improve situational awareness but also help to determine the most effective tactics to employ for any given threat."
Pointer T is equipped with a weapon-mounted laser range finder and uses encoders to determine the exact position of weapon systems and location of GPS-tracked threats.
In addition, the system determines the nature and impact of 'hits'. The Pointer system then transmits data that will be displayed in real-time on a portable situational awareness tool.
This will enable trainers to have a view of the performance data to improve training exercises.
Royal Navy surface warfare trainer lieutenant commander Richard Dobson said: "We're delighted to be working with QinetiQ to ensure our FIAC training benefits from the most advanced data analytics and measurement technologies.
"Pointer T will provide us with a highly responsive and cost-effective system to optimise our training capabilities and performance in FP training against small boats and SWARM (coordinated multi FIAC) serials."


The task of the Executive Board is the management of the association. The board is a volunteer and has the opportunity to use a management. The board members are also members of the board.
The presidium controls the content of the ZIA and initiates committees and working groups on the individual topics.
The substantive work of the ZIA takes place in committees, which are staffed by a total of more than 500 volunteer representatives of the ZIA members. The resolutions and recommendations of the committees form the basis of the association's work.
More than 30 employees work in the headquarter of the ZIA and prepare the committee work and the resolution.
The ZIA Municipal Council accompanies and develops guidelines and standards for cooperation between municipalities and the real estate industry. Among other things, the committee discusses political and legislative initiatives as well as quality components and gives the ZIA recommendations for the association's work.
The Scientific Advisory Board advises the Executive Board and the Management of the ZIA in full independence and on an honorary basis on all issues and challenges relating to the real estate industry.
The ZIA Sustainability Council is responsible for the strategic management of the ZIA sustainability policy. He works on the subject of sustainability in its entire breadth and diversity, theoretically founded from the point of view of practice.
Since the fall of 2002, the "Immobilienweisen Expert Panel" has been providing more transparency in the real estate markets through its Spring Real Estate Industry Report. With the data for the first time on gross production value, employees and real estate stock, the real estate industry as one of the most important economic sectors in Germany was to be better anchored in public perception.
Under the direction of the Innovation Officer, the Innovation Think Tank supports the ZIA in promoting the innovation culture in the industry and initiating innovative cooperation.
The energy transition is one of the core objectives of the real estate industry, but this can only succeed with economically sensible and technology-open measures. For this reason, the ZIA, with its newly established Task Force Energy, is developing proposals for the real estate industry to achieve climate policy goals.

What goes into making a meme? And what happens when you — or your pets — go viral? Kyle Chayka examines the Internet phenomena in his recent feature with Matter, "Wow. Scare. Amaze." Kabosu the Shiba Inu belongs to a Japanese schoolteacher who loves blogging about her pets. An image of Kabosu unexpectedly became the face of the "doge" meme, a much-shared and replicated photo of a wide-eyed dog overlaid with Comic Sans MS phrases ("Wow! Such Amaze!"). Her owner, Atsuko Sato, was surprised and even frightened by her dog's sudden fame. Memes are parasitic, taking on uncontrollable lives of their own. The article delves into other memes, while also examining the culture and industry that sprouts up around online trends. So what do you do with the most popular dog on the World Wide Web? Sato decides to officially license her dog's image — not to profit for herself, but to donate the earnings to animals in need.

When Shirley Jackson's chilling story "The Lottery" was first published in 1948 in the The New Yorker, it generated more letters than any work of fiction the magazine had ever published. Readers were furious, disgusted, occasionally curious, and almost uniformly bewildered. The public outcry over... A classic in modern literature, "The Lottery" did more in nine pages than most novels do in nine chapters. Here's how Shirley Jackson outraged a nation with fewer than 3,500 words.
Shirley Jackson's short story, "The Lottery", ironically gives the lottery a bad meaning. The lottery in this story is used for a public stoning, contrary to the first thing that comes to a reader's mind when they think of winning the lottery; a big sum of money.... A Look at 'The Lottery' Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery' is a classic American short story known for its shocking twist ending and its insightful commentary on cultural traditions.
?"The Lottery," a short story written by Dr. Shirley Jackson, It's a 3rd person Narrative tale story with a neutral tone but an unforeseen ending.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Europe is trying to silence dissenting opinions after the European Parliament called on the EU to do more to counter Russian ''disinformation.'' Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that after lecturing Russia on democracy -- Europe is trying to silence dissenting opinions. His comments come after the European Parliament called on the EU to do more to counter Russian "disinformation and propaganda warfare". (SOUNDBITE) (Russian) RUSSIAN PRESIDENT, VLADIMIR PUTIN, SAYING: "It tells us that we are observing a certain, quite obvious, degradation - in a political sense of the word - of how democracy is understood in Western society, in this particular case in the European Parliament. But I very much hope that common sense prevails and we won't see any real restrictions." By a vote of 304 to 179 the European Parliament passed a resolution Wednesday, warning against "propaganda" pressure on the European Union carried out by Russia. EU leaders, most especially in the Baltic states, have been alarmed at how Moscow has used its media to gain support for its views and policies.

A study for expression of Korean Mistletoe (KM) lectin gene (A,B) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was done using transforming system of yeast. In order to overexpress the genes efficiently in yeast, two lectin genes (A,B) were re-cloned and modified including Kozak translation initiation sequence using PCR amplification. The constructed plasmids containing modified lectin A and B genes were transformed to S. cerevisea INVSc (MAT G, his3 $\Delta$1, leu2, trpl-289, ura3-52). The transformed cells were identified by DNA sequencing with ABI3700 system and induced with 2% of galactose for recombinant KM lectin (rKM lectin) protein. The rKM lectin A and B proteins were determinated about 29kDa size of protein by SOS-P AGE and western blotting analysis. The expressed recombinant lectin was determinated 1.24∼1.75 $\mu\textrm{g}$ per 1 mg of cytosolic soluble protein by sandwich ELISA method. Moreover the lectin genes were expressed as maximum level at 36 h after galactose induction and lectin A gene was were repressed after 48 h.

Malaria Remains a Pronounced Threat to U.S. Service Members in Africa | Peter "Just Loves Flying"
The lesson is simple, AFRICOM health officials said. All the aforementioned steps are critical to protecting yourself from the threat of Malaria. Using an effective layered defense, backed up by appropriately prescribed and applied medications, service members and civilian travelers alike should be able to visit the continent with little to no threat of malaria.


Guelph police responded to an incident at the transit hub across from 79 Carden Street.
A man had stolen a suitcase that had been sitting on the platform as it waited to be loaded onto the bus.
Bystanders stopped and restrained him until police arrived.
The 35-year-old of no fixed address was arrested, and a search resulted in a stolen license being recovered.
He was charged and released pending a court date.
Later that afternoon, a male was attacked and robbed of his cell phone and shoes.
This incident was around 2:40 p.m. in the area of 25 Wellington Street West.
Then, around 4:20 p.m., Guelph police responded to another call, this time of a suspicious person.
The front door of an address on Essex Street was open, and a male was located in the back room.
He was found with the stolen cell phone and wearing the shoes from the previous robbery.
It was discovered that it was the same male from the transit hub earlier in the day.
He was subsequently charged with three related charges.
He is being held now until his court date.
The first robbery happened at the transit hub on Carden Street.


Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Shiraz. The color is a deep, intense purple. On the nose it is aromatic and complex, with a combination of fruit and spice, cinnamon, white pepper, cajun spices, mocha, liquorice and blackberry. On the palate it is immensely approachable with hints of menthol, spearmint, violets and boysenberry, with soft suple tannins.

Bayesian learning in normal form games
J. S. Jordan
This paper studies myopic Bayesian learning processes for finite-player, finite-strategy normal form games. Initially, each player is presumed to know his own payoff function but not the payoff functions of the other players. Assuming that the common prior distribution of payoff functions satisfies independence across players, it is proved that the conditional distributions on strategies converge to a set of Nash equilibria with probability one. Under a further assumption that the prior distributions are sufficiently uniform, convergence to a set of Nash equilibria is proved for every profile of payoff functions, that is, every normal form game.

Ohio Lawmakers Seek to Remove Slavery as a Punishment From State Constitution
Protesters Outside Ohio Statehouse

Slavery, for the most part, has been abolished in this country. I say for the most part because the 13th Amendment allows for slavery to be used as a form of punishment. Some states have already elected to remove that clause from their local constitutions and Ohio is working to be next on the list.
CNN reports that on Juneteenth, Ohio state Sen. Cecil Thomas (D) announced that he will introduce a joint resolution that will remove the exception from the state constitution. Article 1, Section 6 of Ohio's state constitution says, "There shall be no slavery in this state; nor involuntary servitude, unless for the punishment of crime." Thomas's resolution will remove "unless for the punishment of the crime," from the law. The amendment is still in the process of being drafted and is due to be delivered within the next week.
"As we embark on making structural changes to our laws and policies that adversely impact people of color, it is important that Ohio lawmakers stand together to eliminate this painful reminder of a ruinous time in the history of our country," Thomas wrote in a statement released online. Stephanie Howse, an Democratic Ohio State Rep. and President of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, expressed disbelief at the language. "Most legislators, even ourselves didn't even realize that it was still here in our constitution," Howse told WEWS.
Should the legislation be passed through the state Senate and state House with three/fifths of the vote it will be placed on the general election ballot to be voted upon in November.
This is not the first time an effort has been made to remove such language from the state constitution. In 2016, Ohio State Rep. Alicia Reece (D) introduced similar legislation to remove the slavery references from the state constitution. "No slavery, no exceptions," Reese said in a statement. "Over 150 years after our nation abolished slavery, there can be no acceptable circumstance for slavery in our state, and our constitution must reflect that. In 2016, this General Assembly should give Ohioans the opportunity to take slavery out of our state's guiding document."
Had they only listened to a black woman, this would have already gotten done. Hopefully, this effort will prove more successful.

I mean, isn't prison labor literal slavery? If that's not going to change, then this is to make themselves feel good.
Oh, and shut the fuck up, Malcire.


Whether as a proponent of the sharing culture, or homesteader, or woods walker - even as a naturalist, observer and craftsman with the written word, Thoreau is worth another close look if you never really bothered before. Won't firehouse you with quotes here but check this event Oct 1 west of Boston - I am jazzed to be working with the local library group to arrange. If you are reading this then it is def in your wheelhouse. Pure 10engines... Give them a like and follow on FB to help too - the Friends of Acton Libraries provides support for nine (9!) town and school libraries. Awesome.
On October 1st, the Friends of the Acton Libraries present CELEBRATE THOREAU. This event to mark the 200th birth-year of Henry David Thoreau will highlight HDT's writings and celebrate outdoor living. There will be a mixture of academic and social activities for heritage fans, and families. This is a free entry event being held at the Gallery at Villageworks (525 Mass Ave, Acton, MA). Doors at 11AM.
Open Mic' - pick a reading from Cape Cod, Maine Woods, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, or bring a favorite passage.
Lego 'build a cabin' - deliberately!
Pick-a-prize raffle with gifts from; Huckberry, Randolph Engineering, FIELD NOTES, Bueno Y Sano, Acton Coffee House, Ursa Major VT, Bobos Mountain Sugar, BERN, Steele Canvas, RMurphy and more.
All attendees will also receive an annotated bibliography of themed reading.
These food-safe food slabs, coasters and trivets are made from a fieldstone that American Stonecraft have gathered from farms across greater New England (you too PA!). They are sliced, ground, and polished in their Lowell, MA studio. Each stone's farm-provenance is permanently labeled on the underside. Not only are the stones responsibly harvested (I say this w a straight face - meaning the stones are taken from fields, not ripped out of stone walls...) but the team here also execute MENDING WALL DAY (Robert Frost reference to those just joining), and repair fieldstone walls in the wild. Fieldstone wall means stone wall created without binder material, simply chinked together.
Bowls are created too. Fantastic. Available online - or at the Boston Public Market space at Haymarket.
There is a full-on pig roast ($15) and plenty of other food vendors around, hay and pony rides, music, demos and clogging. What else do you need? $6 entry donation to the Town of Peru Scholarship Fund. No dogs. Opening parade starts at 9:45 - coffee onsite.
Constructed from commercial grade steel and rugged porcelain enamel. 12 pieces total; four 9½"dinner plates, four bowls, and four tumblers... USA. $230 shipped via Barn Light Electric.


On Mint Plaza, Thermidor has brought back lunch service — with a twist.
The retro restaurant is now offering a short casual lunch menu, but unlike the other two restaurants in Mint Plaza (54 Mint and Chez Papa), it's quick service, not table service. Guests are welcome to enjoy the food on premises of course (see the patio seating above on sunny days), but the food is served on paper plates and available to go. Also note that the Mint Plaza farmers' market is due to return later this summer.
Pastrami slider ($4): Made with housemade pastrami atop a housemade bun.
Pork belly dog ($5): A twist on a banh mi, featuring a slab of pork belly sliced long like a hot dog and topped with sriacha aioli and the banh mi fixings.
Big Burger ($9): 7 ounce patty atop a house roll.
Also on the Thermidor beat, it's worth noting that they're going to relaunch their bar menu to include more dishes; they're also tweaking the dinner menu and lowering the price point.
