The Minutes of the June 17, 2003 Special Meeting in Helena, MT were approved unanimously on 7-0 vote AS AMENDED.
The following students spoke about the Nursing Program at MSU-Northern: Elizabeth Cummins, Katie Knapstead, Berna Johnson, and Maria Lacey. The Board briefly discussed the program requirement on failing two courses.
Matt Singer noted that MontPirg has a new Board of Directors. More than 25% of students on campus voted, with 5 to 1 to keep MontPirg active. He urged the Board of Regents to not remove their ability to do what they do.
Local Executive Board of The University of Montana-Western re: Adoption and implementation of X-1 program by year 2004 and the Masters program at UM-Western - Betty Iverson, Member Local Executive Board
MaryEllen Wilkerson, a graduate of UM-Western and a member of the Local Executive Board addressed the Board indicating the community of Dillon supports the campus 100%, that equine studies have been very popular, and the Youth Challenge Program is working very well. However they have concerns about the X1 program the administration and faculty have been testing. She feels that something more important would be the reinstatement of the masters program at Western.
Debbie Barrett, Representative for District 34 also noted the focus on campus has been on the X1 program, rather than the masters program. She believes UM-Western should be on a level playing field and that could be attained with a masters program.
John Schuyler, member of the UM-Western Foundation indicated the people of Dillon are not against X1, but rather that the campus has not followed its business plan submitted to the federal government which entailed a three year period of study. At the end of the first year, the campus adopted X1.
Tate Else, President of ASUM-W noted that the students do not feel they have had a voice in this decision.
Commissioner Krause will work with President Dennison to clarify this situation before the September 25-26, 2003 meeting.
Two Year Education
Representative Carol Juneau provided the Board with two resolutions, the first opposing the University System Writing and Math Proficiency Assessments. The second requests the Office of Public Instruction, the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education and the Montana University System to include in their budget requests for the next biennium adequate resources to assist them in the implementation of HB 20-1-501, Indian Education for All.
President Dennison introduced Teresa Branch who is the new Vice President of Student Affairs at UM-Missoula, replacing Barbara Hollmann.
Scott McCarthy announced the new officers for MAS are himself as President, Aaron Flint, Vice President, and Ray Champ, Treasurer.

END CONSENT AGENDA
Level I Memo (Informational Item)
There were no questions on Item a.
Report on Workforce Development Projects FY02-05 – Dr. Scott
Dr. Scott indicated this report was useful for a number of reasons. All of the two year and college of technology leadership is new to the state or the position in the last couple of years. There have been complaints that MUS doesn't do anything for two-year education, but this report documents the tremendous amount already done. MUS is one of three partners to receive a $750,000 grant split between them. Dr. Arlene Parisot is working with nationally prominent consultants to promote learning about clusters. They have a fairly substantial agenda of achievement. The Board of Regents is the designated entity for the Perkins Grant in Montana, and there is a great deal of collaboration across K-16. This report confirms that there is a lot going on that has benefited these campuses. Dr. Parisot noted that the Passport Project has been completed and $1.5 million was received through CHE and RFPs were put out. The dollars were diminished over time, but the outcomes were significant, and people were placed into employment. The incentive grant will be significant. MUS has important partnerships with Adult Education, Workforce Investment, Title I and Perkins. There are measures in place which must be met. $80,000 was received from the Governor's discretionary fund and is being used to look at developing an infrastructure to provide health care programs across the state. All of these groups are coordinated by the State Agency Management Team (SAM). Regent Roehm commented that the economic development included here is one of the best kept secrets in the state.
The Board took a break from 9:35 to 9:50 a.m.
ITEM 119-104-R0503 – Math Proficiency Admissions Standards (Action Item) – Dr. Scott Attachment
Dr. Scott indicated the Board had the version of this item revised from the May 29-30, 2003 meeting. She attended a MACIE meeting considering these tests, then consulted with MUS staff and proposed and accepted another option. The ACT indicated the MUS was deficient with a requirement of three years of math, and must go to four years. Research indicates students taking a rigorous core do better in college, 80% stay in college through the first three years, and they complete in a timely manner and at a higher rate as compared to those who have the less rigorous curriculum. With the three options proposed, there are places for virtually all students. Besides the high school courses available on the campuses, there are other access points for math classes such as the on-line array of classes from the North Dakota State Board of Public Instruction, and around Montana there are 500 PLATO licenses with on-line math courses through calculus. Representatives from K-16, the Tribal Colleges, and the Community Colleges collaborated on this issue and none raised any concerns. There was a strong recommendation to amend the alternate option from "high school mathematics" to read "mathematics in high school." Regent Roehm asked Dr. Scott to address the misgivings voiced by Representative Juneau for the effect of this on Native Americans. Dr. Scott indicated that the third option was designed with them in mind. This is math only. Option B provides a student would take four years of math, and according to the published curricula submitted to the CHE by the tribal colleges, there are courses suitable to meet the requirements. This sets expectations for teachers and counselors and gives students stronger preparation than the Regents' requirements do, with a two to four point improvement on the ACT and two to three point improvement on the SAT. Aside from that they are twice as successful at staying in college and completing their education as those who do not take the rigorous core. Under the present requirements for math and writing, half of all students need remediation. Dean Mary Moe expressed concern about the availability of courses in the high schools, and the added cost for teachers in those disciplines. Professor Rich Howard supported the program based on his own research. Mr. Curt Kochner from MSU-Billings noted that over 50% of students need remediation. His concern is for those who cannot succeed in the developmental classes. There will be a continued need for remediation. Regent Semmens indicated the proposal is not cumulative, but offers alternatives. He does not believe proficiency standards close doors to students, but rather improve student success in college. Dr. Scott indicated that apart from the four year institutions, there are 17 opportunities for open access in the university system. The Board had directed the Commissioner's office to do this and they have been working on it for 8 years. Regent Hamilton said the Board of Education sub-committee met three days ago, and there were no objections at that point to either math or writing proficiency standards.
Regent Hamilton MOVED for APPROVAL of item c. as amended and ADOPTION of the recommendations
ITEM 119-1007-R0503 - Approval of Proposal to Rename the School of Forestry to the College of Forestry and Conservation and to Reorganize it into Three Departments: (1) Department of Ecosystem and Conservation Sciences, (2) Department of Forest Management, and (3) Department of Society and Conservation; The University of Montana-Missoula Summary Proposal
Regent Hur MOVED to APPROVE the item in two parts, FIRST for the NAME CHANGE, and the OTHER for the REORGANIZATION.
Regent Mercer indicated he did not like the word "conservation" in the title. Dean Perry Brown from the School of Forestry said they solicited names from alumni, students, faculty, and others resulting in a list of about sixty potential names. The proposed name was chosen for a number of reasons. The first word was chosen to honor their heritage in forestry, and conservation was added to match the 66 year old heritage of Forestry and Conservation Experimental District. The word "Conservation" allows them to identify the breadth of their programs since they have two degrees with "conservation" in the title. Regent Semmens asked if the School of Forestry had joined the Advisory Council for the Forestry and Timber industry as was suggested last November at their meeting. Dean Brown indicated their first meeting will be in November, and although that Council had not been asked for input on the name change, the individuals of the group had been.
Regent Mercer MOVED to adopt the name change as only the "College of Forestry"
President Dennison explained there is a reason for the professionals in these areas to use certain terms, and why those names work.
Regent Mercer WITHDREW his motion.
Original Motion to change the name of the school APPROVED on 4-3 vote with Regents Hur, Roehm and Taylor dissenting.
Regent Hamilton expressed concern about the new administrative lines and requested an explanation of what type of position would be filled and how it would impact the students. President Dennison indicated the $12,500 savings would not hire a full time person. They currently have faculty members in the school and at the experiment station. There is more administration under the current arrangement, and one will be lost and there will be department chairs each with a stipend that is much less. The synergy created among these individuals also helps bring in funding like the $15 million they have this year.
Motion to reorganize the School into three departments APPROVED unanimously on 7-0 vote
Follow up on nursing situation at MSU- Northern – Joyce Scott / Roger Barber / Alex Capdeville Report
Regent Mercer MOVED to allow waiver of the time period for filing grade appeals to be extended to any grievance arising out of this course, with the understanding students will not come back before the Board of Regents until they have exhausted the appeal process on campus.
Motion was APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY on 7-0 vote.
ITEM 119-2011-R0503 - Authorization to Establish the Gary K. Bracken Center for Excellence in Undergraduate Business Education; Montana State University-Bozeman (Held over from the May 29-30, 2003 meeting) Summary Attachment
Regent Roehm MOVED for APPROVAL of Item i.
The Board recessed at 12:05 for lunch with student representatives, followed by a meeting with faculty representatives.
The Meeting Reconvened at 2:00 p.m.
Bob Nystuen Senior Vice-President, Glacier Bank, and Hank Ricklefs, General Manager, Northwest Lumber (Plum Creek) gave a brief presentation on the Business and Education Council in Kalispell.
b. Creating Montana's Economic Road Map for the Future- a discussion of creating an agreed upon economic model. (Panel Discussion) – Regent Mercer (Panel members will sit at table with the MUS CEOs)
Following discussion of ideas and possibilities, Regent Mercer advised he will contact each member of the panel requesting they create a proposal of economic development ideas that include the MUS, and then to bring it before the Board of Regents.
The meeting recessed at 4:40 p.m.
ACADEMIC/STUDENT AFFAIRS ITEMS continued
ITEM 119-1010-R0503 - Approval of Proposal to Reinstitute the PhD degree in History; The University of Montana-Missoula Summary Proposal Budget
ITEM 119-2010-R0503 - Establish a Doctor of Philosophy degree in history with major fields in the history of science, technology and society, environmental history, and history of the American West (Held over from the May 29-30, 2003 meeting) Summary Attachments
Items e. and f. were discussed together. Chairman Harry Fritz of the UM-Missoula History Department indicated they are asking to resurrect the PhD program that operated in the 1970s and 1980s. That program produced 12 PhDs and half were published in book form. The program was discontinued since the size of the faculty was declining. At this time, that trend has reversed and the faculty is stabilized at 15 FTE, with six other PhD historians who also teach with the department. There is outside funding from AB Hammond Fund for Promotion of Western History, Boone, Tidball, Cappadocia scholarships of $30,000 for European history, and Mosher McKinney doctoral scholarships. Job opportunities have been identified for the graduates. Where a Masters used to qualify faculty to teach in community colleges or high schools, a PhD is now needed. President Gamble indicated that the two PhD programs are complementary of each other. (Rather than duplicating progrms, UM has strengths in European, Latin American, Asian, Native American, and mid-eastern history, while MSU focuses on Social, Philosophical, Scientific, Technical and Economic History). Robert Rydell, Department Head of History at MSU-Bozeman noted they have new funding for this program from the National Science Foundation. Environmental history, PhD was line-itemed into the MSU EPSCoR proposal, with $300,000 earmarked for the PhD. Previously, PhDs were trained for research in universities, but there are new fields such as cultural, museum, private historians, the Department of Homeland Security, and Immigration. There are 19 tenure track faculty, and the library has a preeminent collection on Yellowstone Park, and in agriculture and agricultural science. The two campuses will collaborate with each other on the programs. Although the campuses indicate minimal or no added cost involved in these programs, Interim Commissioner Krause reminded the Board they have a formula driven budget and there will be costs involved. Due to the fiscal climate, he would not recommend either of the programs. Deputy Commissioner Scott concurred with the Commissioner, and although the campuses are demonstrating the Board's desire to see entrepreneurial spirit, the MUS budget has been cut by $48 million.
Regent Mercer MOVED for APPROVAL of items e. and f. as ACTION ITEMS
Motion APPROVED on 5-2 vote with Regents Hamilton and Semmens dissenting.
ITEM 120-2002-R0703 – Authorization to Establish the Center for Bio-Inspired NanoMaterials (CBIN); Montana State University-Bozeman
Tom McCoy gave a brief explanation of this item since he had to leave the meeting. It was agreed that the Regents would be provided with the new bio-security rules put in place after 9/11.
The Board took a ten minute break.
ITEM 119-1903-R0503 - Approval of Proposal to Establish an Associate of Arts Degree; The University of Montana-Helena College of Technology Summary Proposal Budget Attachment
Regent Roehm MOVED for APPROVAL of item g.
ITEM 118-2004-R0103 - Approval to Create a Joint Masters Degree in Public Administration; Montana State University-Bozeman and Montana State University-Billings (Held over from the May 29-30, 2003 meeting) Summary
Regent Semmens MOVED for APPROVAL of item h. with the understanding that Chancellor Sexton would provide the Board with a much more detailed and fleshed out assessment of revenues and expenses, preferably before the September meeting.
Motion APPROVED on 6-1 vote with Regent Hamilton dissenting
ITEM 120-102-R0703 - Annual Diversity Report – Dr. Scott
Please see original report sent with Agenda. Commissioner Krause and Deputy Commissioner Scott will put together a cover letter and forward this report to the tribal colleges.
Credit by Exam Update Report – Dr. Scott

MUS Library Task Force Update Report - Dr. Scott
Regent Hamilton MOVED for ACCEPTANCE of the report and ADOPTION of the recommendations.
ADMINISTRATIVE/BUDGET ITEMS continued
Report on Access at 150% of resident tuition in programs with excess capacity to Non-residents and Canadians from the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to students meeting the scholarship requirements; Montana Tech of The University of Montana
ITEM 120-2005-R0703 – Authorization to Offer Online Courses to Non-resident Students at no less than 125% of Resident Tuition; Montana State University – (Discussion Item) REPLACES i. ITEM 119-2703-R0503 – Authorization to Offer Access at In-State Tuition Rates to Online Courses with Excess Capacity to Non-resident Students; Montana State University-Billings (Held over from the May 29-30, 2003 meeting) Recommendation of Tuition Committee
The Tuition Committee recommended that this item be amended to a minimum of 150% of Resident Tuition, and be applied across the entire system rather than just the Bozeman campus. The committee will present a report on the impact of the costs to evaluate whether they are pushing resident students out of these courses. All campus CEOs assured the Regents that the students under this policy would still continue to be reported as nonresident students for purposes of enrollment reporting and state support
Regent Hur MOVED to allow on-line courses to be offered at a minimum of 150% of resident tuition, with the flexibility to charge more.
Regent Mercer indicated he did not want the Board to freely delegate tuition rates to the campuses, but that they should bring back their suggested rates for approval. Dean Mary Moe noted that the item did not include mandatory campus fees and she believes they should be charged to on-line students as well. Chancellor Sexton indicated that even those students who are on-line quickly learn the system, and their demand for services rises. It would also complicate matters not to charge mandatory fees because of the number that take a mixture of on-line and in-class courses. President Dennison added that mandatory fees don't relate to advising, but rather the rec center, the health center and others and these are included in the list of fees. These are ambiance fees, and if they are waived, there will be a change in philosophy. Also in the list of fees is a fee which relates to technology cost for this kind of delivery. They have been charging those fees, not what the market will bear. Chancellor Sexton indicated they could bring back original proposals as they are created. He agreed that they are experiencing a mixture of students on and off campus both making greater use of all the resources, attending events, activities, the student union, and the library. Mandatory fees are part of that. Regent Hamilton indicated this is a very complex issue and the idea of no mandatory fees is a long range discussion item. The sentence referring to no mandatory fees was stricken.
Motion authorizing all campuses of MUS to price on-line offerings to non-residents at levels no less than 150% of resident tuition rates, with any specific proposals below the full non-resident rate to be presented to the Board before implementation was APPROVED on 6-1 vote with Regent Hur dissenting.

Ab Baars on tenor, clarinet and shakuhachi, Meinrad Kneer on double bass and Bill Elgart on drums. A pretty intense album of free improvisation, never loud, always looking for immediate interactive dynamics, walking - sometimes jumping - with precision and caution, yet free as the wind.
The thirteen tracks on the album are all around five minutes long, and give some insight into the trio's approach. They set a scene, develop it, expand it and close it. Once the character is created, the approach made, there is no need for too long elaborations on the same subject, because they have many more ideas, plenty of ideas, and they all get their place here. One of my favorite albums. And the sound quality is excellent too.

Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Jim Beck says he has fulfilled his day one promises of enhancing transparency, consumer protection, and defending against fraud that he made throughout his year and a half long bid for the office.
Department's Website on a timely basis. This will allow consumers to have accurate, up-to-date information from an official and unbiased source when comparing prices or shopping for their auto insurance policy.
Consumers can now determine how many complaints are received against a particular insurance company by visiting the Department's Website. This tool will also allow citizens to compare complaint statistics of each company they are considering doing business with. In order to expedite the handling and resolution of consumer complaints, Beck's first directive as Commissioner requires all insurance companies responding to an inquiry from the Department to utilize the communication portal on the Department's Website.
Commissioner Beck also directed the market conduct examination team to begin reporting directly to him instances where consumers known to be over the age of 65 or veterans of our U.S Military have been harmed through unfair practices. The Commissioner will then use these findings to double the penalties and fines accessed against these companies for these occurrences.
Consumers who have complaints against their insurance companies can now schedule meetings through the Department's Rolling Regional Offices where they can sit down face-to-face with an investigator in their own community.
The prices we are charged for Auto and Home Insurance constitute FRAUD! Please, Mr. Beck, do something to lower these rates!
I would be impressed if he would do something about Insurance companies that pay off the customer but leave the car dumped on the towing company that towed it? Happens every day thru out Georgia.

A Canadian mother of a 14-year-old boy with cerebral palsy are furious and upset after seeing a viral video of their son getting bullied into lying in a creek so a girl could walk on him.
Terri McEachern, mom of Brett Corbett, said she was "heartbroken and angry" that students at Glace Bay High School in Nova Scotia, Canada, idly watched as her son was made into a human stepping bridge, according to The Chronicle Herald.
What's more, McEachern believes the girl seen on video stepping on Brett told him to be still so she could stay dry, the newspaper reported.
"I watched the video and I know the girl said to Brett 'Lay back down. ... I don't want to get wet," she said, according to The Chronicle Herald.
A video of the Nov. 6 incident was posted on Facebook by a user named Brandon Jolie, who said his son is friends with Brett.
"Parents; you failed this generation," Jolie wrote in the caption of the video. "The amount of teenagers that stood around and watched this happen, even took videos of it. I hope you watch this video, recognize your kid and feel the shame.
"To the little girl that stepped on him; you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself," he added.
Michelle MacLeod, a communications officer with the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board, wrote in a statement that an investigation into the video is underway, according to The Cape Breton Post.
"This is unacceptable and very disappointing behaviour. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and is not one that the School and the Centre for Education is proud of," she said.
At least one parent of a child accused of bullying Brett has spoken out and said he was "devastated" by the video, according to CTV News. The father said he "cried (his) eyes out" because of the "cowardly" actions of his son, the outlet reported.
Brett's mom also revealed that although she was first told by a school official that Brett put himself in the creek as a "dare," she later found out that he was threatened.

A severe frost may cause problems with heating, freezing of water pipes and lines, and power outages. All this can create a fire hazard. Make sure that your family members can see and anticipate the risks.
Use a wood-fired heat source one oven full at a time, two to three times a day.
Do not close the damper too early.
Ensure that electric heaters do not overload the electrical system.
Wrap the pipes with additional insulation to prevent the risk of freezing.
Use heating cables or a heat blower to warm up frozen pipes. Do not warm frozen pipes with open flames.
If you can, stay in the room.
When going out, dress warmly and in layers. Pay attention to particularly sensitive body parts.
In the case of an unavoidable car drive, fill the tank with fuel. Take with you a charged mobile phone, warm clothes, and a warm drink.
Take the injured person quickly to a warm place and start to warm-up them up slowly. Call 112 immediately in case of consciousness disorders and cardiac arrest caused by deep hypothermia. Then start resuscitation: release the respiratory tract and start an indirect cardiac massage.
In the case of deep hypothermia start warming from inside to outside. Inhaling warm vapors or drinking warm liquids helps the body to warm up.
The first sign of frozen limbs is a pain. This can be alleviated by active movements and massage.
After the frost damage, do not go to the sauna. A sudden rise in temperature can be life-threatening.
Frozen hands and feet should not be placed in hot water. The abrupt change in temperature may damage the tissues.
In case of a cold wave, keep in touch with the disabled or an elderly neighbor, as well as relatives and friends living in solitary rural areas.
Domestic animals also need more care than usual. If possible, let the dog come inside. Outside, give the dog warm food several times a day. Make sure that the dog has shelter from wind and that it would not have to lie on the bare snow.

"Un-Boring" Your House: The 6 Step Battle Plan To Keep Your Kids Busy!
"I'm bored": Two little words that can send your blood pressure through the roof in the blink of an eye. Bored? BORED???? Oh really? I have an idea—maybe you could get out the new video game that was the only thing you wanted for your birthday (I mean, besides the other things you wanted).
Did you forget about the miniature spa I bought for your dolls so they could be treated better than I was on my wedding day? Have you looked in that room, you know the one, we moms trickily call "the PLAY room?" It's filled with toys, and games and crap you could not live without. The stuff that I ran around to seven stores like a crazy person trying to find on December 23rd when you spontaneously up and changed your wish list.
Step 1. Make a list of categories for all the activities around your house: board games, toys, crafts, indoor activities, outdoor activities, make believe, etc.
Step 2: Call a family meeting (i.e., sit down for dinner)…preferably with a bag of M&Ms in hand (hey, bribery works).
Step 4. Have everyone count their M&Ms. Announce (in dramatic fashion) that the number of M&Ms around the table are the number of things there are to do around your house (allow the smile to spread across your face as you declare victory in the war to prove that boredom is not humanly possible in your household).
Step 5. Type up all of the ideas and hang your new "I'm Bored List" in a prominent place in your home. Every time you hear those two evil little words, simply point to the list and voila!
Step 6 (optional, but recommended.) In the rare case that the "I'm Bored List" fails to entertain, it's always good to have a back up. I've found that simply adding the line: "If you still cannot find anything to do on the 'I'm Bored List,' come see mom for the 'Chores List'" does the trick!

Today, as I was driving to the grocery store, the song "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift came on the radio. It was the first time I had heard the song, but as soon as I heard the chorus it immediately brought to mind this scene from my book (which I've posted here before).
I got on iTunes and bought the song as soon as I got home! It's not the first time that I've come across a song that reminded me of scenes or themes from my story, but it never ceases to give me a little thrill when it happens. I'm sure that I'm not the only person that this happens to–whether your a writer like me, or a reader that gets reminded of their favorite characters/books/scenes.
There are many, many more, but those will have to wait for another time! ^_- What songs remind you of your favorite scenes or characters?
Thank you! Songs like that really are a great way to get into the writing mood!

Gail Godwin
Essay by Kerstin W. Shands
Gail Godwin's Heart: A Natural History of the Heart-Filled Life stems from a moment in time when Godwin had just re-read Conrad's Heart of Darkness. She had been thinking about a new novel regarding "a woman's journey into a heart of darkness where she would have to confront her shadow" when, with surprising synchronicity, her agent called with a proposal for a nonfictional book about the heart (8).
Godwin's consciousness was soon flooded with images of the heart from art, myth, and literature along with a multitude of metaphoric heart-phrases so ingrained in our language as to have become "dead" metaphors. She decided to take on the challenge and delve into images and understandings of the heart through time and space, from literary, spiritual, and historical perspectives, while also pumping fresh life-blood into worn and pallid metaphors.
The Heart in History and Spirituality
In Heart, Godwin's first nonfiction book, we enter "the heartscape through recorded time" in order to make reflective stops along the routes of history, philosophy, and literature—and perhaps be able to "pinpoint by comparison our present heart location" (19). Central questions will be: "What have we gained since the cave artist painted a red heart on an elephant? What have we lost since the Industrial Revolution?" (19).
Departing from ancient art and myth, such as a mural painting of a mammoth with a heart painted in a Spanish cave about 10000 BC and The Epic of Gilgamesh, Heart embarks on a tour of the human heart and its meanings in different cultures throughout history, exploring the literal, medical, and metaphoric aspects of the heart as both life-sustaining center in our physical bodies and metaphoric site of our emotions. The first stop is ancient Egypt, where the heart played a central role in after-death ceremonies. A deceased person's heart was examined, then and there, through a "negative" confession of everything he or she had not done. The heart was weighed, the result giving access to eternal life with the gods or to the heart being eaten by a monster.
Composed between 600 and 300 BC, the Upanishads "mark a dramatic breakthrough in human consciousness," writes Godwin, because this is "where the enlightened individual self as container of the cosmic consciousness—God at home in you—begins to play a noticeable role" (43). There is less focus on gods and goddesses and "more on the God to be discovered within the depths of one's being, as well as the necessary disciplines to approach it" (43-44). In other words, there is a vision of an interior place possible to reach though spiritual and physical disciplines "where each of us can meet the ineffable source of being" (44).
In the Judaic tradition, the heart has always been central, and the Hebrew word for heart, lev, refers to wisdom, emotion, and the right attitude. Initially, God had a heart just like that of human beings, and he could have strong feelings: "although the Jews were the first people to arrive at an abstract notion of God and thus forbade images of him, he is represented from the very beginning as having a heart like theirs: a central place in him that can be hurt and angered and softened—and changed" (34).
In the Bible, there are over a thousand references to the heart, with the Book of Psalms, for example, showing an astonishing variety of metaphoric meanings for "heart." Underlining the centrality of the heart in Christianity, Godwin takes as an example the passage in Matthew in which Jesus argues that washing one's hands before a meal, the custom according to Jewish purity laws, was less important than having a clean heart, since the kingdom of God was located inside a person.
The main question posed in this survey of major world religions, and certainly a question for further consideration, is whether there is "a wisdom of the heart that all religions share" (319).
In personal and spiritual development today, many teachers point to the importance of resting in and accepting the present moment just as it is. From Godwin's account it becomes strikingly obvious just how strongly influenced by ancient spiritual traditions contemporary spirituality actually is. Contemporary spiritual recommendations to meditate and seek stillness recall the creative quietude of wu wei, the "yielding up of our striving conscious wills to the resources of a deeper self in tune with tao," as recommended in the Tao Te Ching: "Do you have the patience to wait / Till your mud settles and the water is clear? / Can you remain unmoving / Till the right action arises by itself?" (quoted by Godwin 65).
In her discussion of Buddhism, Godwin suggests that it is not desire per se that is the root of all human suffering. Rather, it is a desire for one's own fulfillment at the expense of others that leads to a sense of being separate and cut off, and this becomes a source of suffering.
Similarly, in the Confucian tradition, there is an orientation toward community and humanity suggesting that one should strive to be like an ideal host, someone who does not think about what he can get from others but how, in "the social grammar of right behavior," he can accommodate them (63): "Hospitality of heart calls for a special kind of imagination that concentrates on how another creature might be feeling" (282).
In the Confucian tradition, everything begins with righteousness: "If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will peace in the world" (quoted by Godwin, 63).
Romantic Hearts and Heartbreak in Literature
Stories about the heart abound in literature. Godwin gives fascinating glimpses from literary and spiritual writings, one example being her discussion of the metaphors of the heart in French medieval poetry. She shows how the troubadours in the period of courtly love focused on the heart in new ways and understood how to keep desire alive.
Shakespeare's love sonnets have a special place in Godwin's discussion, in particular Sonnet 116 about love as "an ever-fixed mark, / That looks on tempests and is never shaken," a theme Godwin links to the touching story of Philemon and Baucis, originally from Ovid, later used by Swift and Goethe.
With great sensitivity and discernment, Godwin shows how modern and classical writers have "used" personal experiences of heartbreak in their literary works. Examples are George Bernard Shaw, Elizabeth Bowen, and C.S. Lewis, all of whom have written eloquently about the grief of loss of love.
Absence of heart is another matter. There are, on the one hand, mechanistic conceptions obsessed with "facts" and characterized by the utilitarian ethos of the industrial revolution as depicted in Dickens's Hard Times, and on the other hand, the thematic and symbolic "hearts of darkness" as in Conrad's Heart of Darkness: "If heart is the symbol of the inmost sanctuary of personal being, and darkness a symbol for the unconscious, the unknown, evil, ignorance, death, and the underworld, as well as for the dark of germination and potential new life, you get an astonishing range of meanings when you put the two images together" (195, italics in original).
Other "hearts of darkness" may be the underworlds depicted in ancient myths and tales: "You journey into darkness in order to find someone who knows the truth—or to confront the truths hidden in your own heart" (200). Inanna, Persephone, Eurydice, and Psyche all went down (or were sent into) the underworld, but only Inanna, whose story Godwin focuses on at length, returned as her full self.
"Invalids of eros" is a term Godwin takes from the psychologist Adolf Guggenbuhl-Craig to designate the often charming, stylish, and socially ambitious persons who are marked by emotional or moral heart deficiencies. Gilbert Osmond in Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady could be one of those, as could a variety of psychopaths and sociopaths in literature and in real life. These are heartless types who see others as commodities to use in their own worldly journeys.
In Godwin's own experience many years ago, there was an "X," an initially interesting and "inscrutable" but in the end heartless and manipulative acquaintance. From this and other experiences, Godwin has formulated a pertinent piece of advice: "love when possible; when not possible, settle for empathy; when empathy fails, fall back on courtesy; when courtesy fails, stay true to purpose and don't hang back from the necessary toughness!" (192).
Personal Heart Stories
Heart is not only an erudite treatise; it is also a personal memoir with stories and reflections from Godwin's life. There are beautifully rendered and deeply symbolic anecdotes about cats, flowers, and people. The cats come alive in the telling, as do trees and plants. There is a touching story of how generosity and synchronicity in the form of an unexpected but remarkably well-timed bouquet of nasturtiums saved a woman's life.
The most poignant story in Heart is about Tommy, Godwin's brother. Certainly, the pain she experienced at his death in 1983 is impossible to describe. Nonetheless, there it is, conveyed to the reader, a deep and dark loss accompanied by an unspeakable pain that turns up in nightmares about total and fatal abandonment. The circumstances around Tommy's death, the prelude of the heartbreak he suffered, and the incomprehension in the face of the fateful events—these are the baffling components of a drama that can never be resolved, transcended, or understood. Years after the actual events, this grief is still present, sometimes with unexpected flashes of insight that shed sudden new light on scenes in the past and conversations with Tommy. Despite Godwin's unceasing attempts to understand her brother and his final act of despair, his "troubled nature" will never be fully understood: "I'm never going to sum him up, track him down, figure him out. He's the family mystery, never to be solved; all I can do now is cultivate the enigma of Tommy in my heart" (158).
Why did Tommy go under when Godwin and her other brothers and sisters did not? Could one thing that made a difference have been work, the fact that they had pursuits they could give their hearts to? For Godwin, writing has been life-saving. "Words," she affirms, "are the most available material for creative repair work" (168). Marvelously, this creative and life-saving repair work is not reserved for writers alone: "where does one draw the line between writer and nonwriter? Is there such a human creature as "'a nonwriter'?" (168).
Heart-Writing and Heart-Reading
Godwin's writings have enabled her to be part of "the force which keeps the human race together," a force that constitutes "the most powerful striving" and "the most fundamental passion," according to Erich Fromm, who reckons that "[t]he failure to achieve it means insanity or destruction—self-destruction or destruction of others" (The Art of Loving, quoted by Godwin 151).
Being blessed with a "facility to describe" also means being blessed with a community of readers: "The moment you begin to shape words and images into an utterance, you have summoned an interlocutor. Now you can be the one who asks and then listens in the silence for the kind of answer that might never speak for itself out of your own lonely void" (155, 170).
Responding to Godwin's "facility to describe," feeling uplifted and maybe even saved by her work, Godwin's readers would perhaps characterize her fiction as a form of "heart-writing," which could also be a creative mode of composition: "Utterances written down without left-brain censorship, in 'shapes' rather than lines, as they pulsate out from the intuitive trusts of heart-knowledge? And later, gone back to and harvested (if you live long enough) into noyaux of compatible fragments to make a combined effort of heart and head?" (125).
There is "heart-reading," too, and Godwin has an interesting suggestion as to how to approach a text:
When confronting texts from other times and cultures, read for a while with the mind—and then let your mind take a rest and see what in the material leaps out at you on its own, makes you smile, startles you with a contemporary recognition, ignites your imagination. Chances are that something in the material has spoken heart-to-heart to you from then to now (45).
Looking back at her "enrollment" in the "school of the heart," Godwin finds that, before writing Heart, she had been a "head person": "Like most people of my era, I am fond of making lists and 'prioritizing' things in order of excellence, preference, whatever. I have grown up trained in the habit of grading everything, including myself" (242). The process of writing this book transformed her into "a head person aware of the preeminence of heart" (316).
Godwin Country
You sense at once when you enter Godwin country. There is a distinctive, deep and warm tone here. Enveloped as if in longstanding friendship, the reader finds herself in the company of someone whose ability to create stories and communicate insights in rousing and graceful form is remarkable.
Godwin touches upon the Confucian ideal to be like a gracious host, and both in terms of the author's attitude to herself, her readers, and her subject and in terms of her work method, an atmosphere of hospitality reigns in Heart. Certainly, despite the fireside coziness, the subjects discussed are neither simple nor unchallenging. Godwin turns toward something greater, toward a sense of meaning and an understanding of complex and far-ranging inner and outer worlds.
In her chapter on Japanese culture, Godwin tells us that an ideal haiku (apart from its specific form) must have "amari-no-kokoro, a heart-soul quality that reaches beyond the words and leaves an indelible aftertaste" (73). With its compelling craft and conviction, with its compassion and spirituality coupled with daring, directness, and precision, Heart has precisely that: a particular "heart-soul quality" that leaves "an indelible aftertaste."
Heart is work of great scope. It is a learned treatise delving into a range of discoveries in ancient myth, history, literature, and religion in an exploration of the heart as a seat of emotion and wisdom. Given the enormous range of material covered, with many items a reader might want to return to, it is commendable that the publisher decided to add an index to the paperback edition.
Godwin travels down many different paths, following trails of light and shadow and listening to the subtle echoes of a fundamental (and for this text so important) sense of rhythm and duality that reminds us of the rhythm of the heart itself, of the seasons, and of music beyond clock-time and calendar-time. Rhythms are important, and from her "heart-companion," the composer Robert Starer, Godwin has learned about tempo giusto, a rhythm that parallels the human pulse.
The book ends with a question that propels the reader right back to the present:
"Right now it is __/___AM./PM., and I am at __________(location). Where is my heart?" (320)

Q: Calculate sample size and replications for heuristic simulation I want to confirm the goodness of fit of a heuristic which aims to find a minimum of a model. Therefore, I want to do a complete enumeration of the possible parameters with an simulation to find the true optimum which the heuristic should find.
My problem is now how to determine the number of periods the simulation has to run and also the number of replications I need. The random numbers I use when I run the simulation are e. g. poisson distributed.
For the number of replications I already found this formula, which calculates the half-width (where n is the number of periods in the simulation?):
$h = z_{\left(1 - \dfrac{\alpha}{2}\right)} \cdot \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
Which I would use in this formula, where $h_0$ is the initial half-width, $n_0$ = initial number of replications, $h$ = target half-width, $n$ = number of replication required: $n = n_0 \cdot \dfrac{h_0^2}{h^2}$
I'm not quite sure whether this is the right approach and is there any better way to do it?

What are sole proprietorships?
Is a legal person created then?
What are the requirements for the sole proprietorship?
What is the scope of responsibility of the sole proprietorship?
Can a sole proprietorship be converted into a company?
Can a company be converted into a sole proprietorship?
How is sole proprietorship dissolved?
Entrepreneurship is a quality that many people have who seek independence and the realization of their dreams, which often converges in the establishment of a company. But setting up a company had always been a matter of many requirements and solemnities under the forms of companies, and today possibilities such as sole proprietorships have opened up. In this article we will explain everything about this legal figure that can help you with your plans.
It is a commercial figure created from article 71 of Law 222 of 1995 that establishes that through the Sole proprietorship a natural or legal person that meets the qualities required to carry out business, may allocate part of its assets for the realization of one or various commercial activities.
Yes. The sole proprietorship, once registered in the commercial register, forms a legal entity.
It will be created through a written document, which will contain:
Name, identity document, address and address of the employer.
Name or trade name of the company, followed by the expression "Sole Proprietorship".
The domicile.
The term of duration, if it is not indefinite.
A clear and complete statement of the main activities, unless it is stated that the company may carry out any lawful act of commerce.
The amount of the capital making a detailed description of the contributed goods, with an estimate of their value. The employer will respond for the value assigned to the goods in the constitutive document.
When the assets destined for the sole proprietorship comprise assets whose transfer requires a public deed, the incorporation of the company must be done in the same way and also registered in the corresponding registries.
The number of shares of equal nominal value into which the capital of the company will be divided.
The form of administration and the name, identity document and the powers of its administrators. In the absence of stipulations, it will be understood that the administrators may carry out all the acts, included within the planned activities
For liability purposes, the parameters of limited liability companies are followed .
Yes, if at any time one of the parts of the company is transferred or a number of partners is constituted, they will have six months to make the respective transition. Bylaws should be created depending on the type of company that is adopted. These must be raised to a public deed that will be granted by all partners and registered in the commercial register. The new company will assume, without interruption, the rights and obligations of the sole proprietorship.
Yes, if the case arises where only one partner is left in charge of all the shares of the company, then it will become a sole proprietorship. For this, it is necessary that it be solemnized by public deed and registered in the commercial register within six months of dissolution.
The reasons for dissolving it are the following:
By will of the owner of the company,
By expiration of the foreseen term, if any, unless it is extended by means of a document registered in the commercial register before its expiration.
Due to the death of the constituent when this has been expressly stipulated in the act of incorporation of the sole proprietorship or in its reforms.
Due to the impossibility of carrying out the planned activities.
By order of the competent authority.
For losses that reduce the equity of the company by more than fifty percent.
For the initiation of the compulsory liquidation process.

The Academy states that the Thalberg Award is a special Academy Award given to a creative producer whose body of work reflects a consistently high quality of motion picture production. It was a way to honor film producers, those film artists who often start up the whole packaging of all a film's elements, once they had achieved a consistent level of high quality motion pictures. Not awarded every year, it's definitely one of the top honors in the film industry for producers, and here were the ones so honored by the Academy.

People drive the success measured by your systems.
Can you judge the success of the culture in your business by the number of windscreen claims you have? One of our customers can! Cutting windscreen claims from 23 to 4 within 12 months was a great indicator of the wholesale changes within the fleet.
In the art of running a business, it is all about people people people.
In measuring success, yes numbers play a big part, but the numbers don't get better without the people making changes.
My business is about measuring success. But measuring anything, success or otherwise, isn't very exciting if there is no improvement. To get that improvement, requires change, and to get the change, means engaging the people.
Culture starts at the top and if your staff don't have a credible example to follow, it's going to be really hard to get them to be ace performers. Yes, dictatorship works to a certain degree, and yes, I know that it feels like it is the only way to get through to some. But each person on the staff is a human with a basic desire to please people.
Speeding is a classic example where some drivers will put their foot down to make sure the freight gets there on time – because that is what the business needs right? Have you told your drivers that speeding is not the answer? They are doing the wrong thing for the right reason… instead, help them to see the bigger picture and to help resolve the source of the problem…. The one that made it late to start with? How can you both make sure that the truck is loaded and ready to go on time?
Ask the drivers to help you to meet the business goals.
Tell them what you want to achieve. Spend a bit of time thinking about how you word that. Make some short, simple statements. Don't overcomplicate it, then ask for feedback.
What happens next will astound you. The ideas and questions that come forward will give you an insight into the parts of the business they are more familiar with than you are, and herein lies the key to what changes need to be made, partly by drivers and partly by management to achieve your goal.
"Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough that they don't want to" (Richard Branson).
Don't let your employees guess what you want from them, tell them what you want, and ask them to help you to achieve it. If you show people that you are genuine, and ask them to get involved they will amaze you with their ideas and enthusiasm!
Now, a dose of reality. Whilst 90% of your drivers and support staff will applaud you for this type of approach, there will always be a few who really don't feel like playing ball.
Are you prepared for a driver to leave if they repeatedly don't fall into line?
Here is what a customer said to me when this topic came up.
