Oxford Removes Gender-Specific Titles
"Sinister Street", Noble Savages, Oxford University, Social Justice Warriors, The Gentleman
Michael Fane, the hero of Compton Mackenzie's bildungsroman Sinister Street describes the idea of the gentleman.
"Every day more and more loudly the opinion goes up thar these gentlemen are accidental ornaments, rather useless, rather irritating ornaments of contemporary society. Every day brings another sneer at public schools and universities. Every new writer who commands any attention drags out the old idol of the Noble Savage and invites us to worship him. Only now the Noble Savage has been out into corduroy trousers [Update this to "blue jeans." –JDZ]. My theory is that a gentleman leavens the great popular mass of humanity, and however superficially useless he seems, his existence is a pledge of the immanence of the idea. Popular education has fired thousands to prove themselves not gentlemen in the present meaning of the term, but something much finer than any gentleman we know anything about. And they are not, they simply and solidly are not. The first instinct of the gentleman is respect for the past with all it connotes of art and religion and thought. The first instinct of the educated unfit is to hate and destroy the past. Now I maintain that the average gentleman, whatever situation he is called upon to face, will deal with it more effectively than these noble savages who have been armed with weapons they don't know how to ue and are therefore so much the more dangerous, since every weapon to the primitive mind is a weapon of offense."
Meanwhile, today, at the same Oxford Michael Fane once attended, the noble savages, now called Social Justice Warriors, are in full and open revolt against, not only the Past, but against Nature itself.
Oxford University has told colleges and academic departments to remove gender-specific titles such as Mr and Mrs from their websites and leaflets.
The guidance, contained in a document from the Equality and Diversity Unit, suggests only academic terms like Dr and Prof should be retained.
It advised that while the process of removing gender-specific titles is underway, people should be given the option of appearing without any prefix. …
Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell supported the University's stance on gender specific titles.
He told MailOnline: 'A person's name is usually sufficient to identify their gender if an identification is required for some good, practical reason.
The guidance suggests only academic terms like Dr and Prof should be retained.
'It is a positive thing to not always emphasise gender. We are all human. Why does our gender matter so much and why should it be constantly highlighted by titles?
'In an age when more people are defining themselves as transgender or gender-fluid, using gender-based titles ignores the new reality and could cause needless offence.'
The cultural legacy of 1968 has turned every elite university, on both sides of the Atlantic, into a lunatic asylum.
Faculty, Students Tell UVA President Not to Quote Jefferson
Political Correctness, Snowflakes, Social Justice Warriors, Thomas Jefferson, university of Virginia
The Cavalier Daily reports that faculty and students at the University of Virginia signed a letter to that university's president admonishing her for quoting Thomas Jefferson, who founded that university.
Several professors on Grounds collaborated to write a letter to University President Teresa Sullivan against the inclusion of a Thomas Jefferson quote in her post-election email Nov. 9.
In the email, Sullivan encouraged students to unite in the wake of contentious results, arguing that University students have the responsibility of creating the future they want for themselves.
"Thomas Jefferson wrote to a friend that University of Virginia students 'are not of ordinary significance only: they are exactly the persons who are to succeed to the government of our country, and to rule its future enmities, its friendships and fortunes,'" Sullivan said in the email. "I encourage today's U.Va. students to embrace that responsibility."
Some professors from the Psychology Department — and other academic departments — did not agree with the use of this quote. Their letter to Sullivan argued that in light of Jefferson's owning of slaves and other racist beliefs, she should refrain from quoting Jefferson in email communications.
"We would like for our administration to understand that although some members of this community may have come to this university because of Thomas Jefferson's legacy, others of us came here in spite of it," the letter read. "For many of us, the inclusion of Jefferson quotations in these e-mails undermines the message of unity, equality and civility that you are attempting to convey."
The letter garnered 469 signatures — from both students and professors — before being sent out via email Nov. 11. Signees included Politics Prof. Nicholas Winter, Psychology Prof. Chad Dodson, Women, Gender and Sexuality Prof. Corinne Field, College Assistant Dean Shilpa Davé, Politics Prof. Lynn Sanders and many more. Asst. Psychology Prof. Noelle Hurd drafted the letter. …
Politics Prof. Lawrie Balfour said she believes everyone who signed the letter, including herself, was grateful that Sullivan responded to anxiety following the election — however, many felt it was the wrong moment to turn to Jefferson, following incidents of identity-related hate speech.
"I've been here 15 years," Balfour said. "Again and again, I have found that at moments when the community needs reassurance and Jefferson appears, it undoes I think the really important work that administrators and others are trying to do."
Not all signees believe the University should move away from quoting Jefferson in all email correspondence, including Balfour.
"I think we have an opportunity to think about the contradictions that Jefferson embodied," Balfour said. "The point is not that he is never appropriate, but the point is that the move that says, he owned slaves, but he was a great man, is deeply problematic, and I think it will continue to prevent us from being the kind of inclusive, respectful community that President Sullivan and the rest of us envision."
Complete story.
I'm a Jeffersonian Libertarian, but this one is too much for me. I would fire every one of those faculty members and expel every insolent and ungrateful student.

Leftie Journalist Begins to Appreciate Her Country Club Republican Parents
Baby Boomers, Connecticut, Social Justice Warriors, Values, WASPs
Pamela Constable is a Washington Post correspondent and a typical traitor-to-her-class Baby Boomer, who grew up in WASP-y, privileged Connecticut only to rebel against her parents' values and become a Social Justice Warrior Holier-Than-Thou. Now, rather late in the game, she is beginning to understand that her parents sacrificed and struggled without complaint to obtain for her the privileged life-style she so despised, and she is beginning to see that the old-fashioned WASP virtues of hard work, good manners, emotional restraint, and good taste have quite a lot to be said for them.
My childhood was a cocoon of tennis and piano lessons, but once I reached my teens, disturbing news began filtering in from the world beyond. An alumna of my elementary school gave an impassioned speech about her summer registering black voters in the South. At boarding school, a current-events teacher introduced me to McCarthyism and apartheid, and I watched the funeral of Martin Luther King Jr. Filled with righteous indignation, I memorized Bob Dylan songs about poverty and injustice and vowed to become a crusading journalist. Above my study carrel, I taped the famous journalistic directive to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."
The most convenient target I could afflict was my parents, who seemed more worried about their daughter turning into a hippie than about a world full of rampant wrongs. I wrote them earnest letters railing against capitalism, country clubs and colonial exploitation. I accused them of being snobs and racists and scoffed at their preoccupation with appearance. If they were hurt or offended, they never let it show, in part because I kept getting A's and dutifully stood through numerous fittings for my debutante dress.
I hardly saw my parents during my four years at Brown, a tumultuous time that included the bombing of Cambodia and the resignation of Richard Nixon. Soon after graduation I was gone, immersed in big-city newspaper work. I spent a decade writing about alcoholics and juvenile delinquents and slumlords. Eventually my reporting took me even farther afield, to impoverished or war-torn countries such as Haiti and Chile, India and Afghanistan. It was an adventuresome and stimulating career, but it was also a kind of private atonement for having grown up amid such privilege. I rarely told anyone where I was from.
Over time, my relations with my parents settled into a long-distance detente that was affectionate but formal. We sent each other thank-you notes and avoided talking about politics. Yet even though I had run as far from Connecticut as I could, every time I called from another war zone or refugee camp, they always asked eagerly, "When might we see you again?" The guest room was always waiting, with a few ancient stuffed animals on the pillow.
Still, it was only after witnessing the desperation and cruelty of life in much of the world that I began to reexamine my prejudices against the cloister I had fled. In some countries, I saw how powerful forces could keep people trapped in poverty for life; in others, how neighbors could slaughter each other in spasms of hate. I met child brides and torture victims, religious fanatics and armed rebels. I explored societies shattered by civil war, upended by revolution, and strangled by taboo and tradition.
Visiting home between assignments, I found myself noticing and appreciating things I had always taken for granted — the tamed greenery and smooth streets, the absence of fear and abundance of choice, the code of good manners and civilized discussion. I also began to learn things about my parents I had never known and to realize that I had judged them unfairly. I had confused their social discomfort with condescension and their conservatism with callousness.

Marvel & DC Taken Over by SJWs
Comic Books, Ironman, Left Think, Political Correctness, Social Justice Warriors, Thor
Female Thor
Charles Nash notes that comic book sales are dropping after Marvel and DC sold out to the Social Justice Warrior crowd.
"Thor? Are you kidding me? I'm supposed to call you Thor?" Marvel villain The Absorbing Man yells at the new "female Thor" during a vicious street brawl in an issue published last year. "Damn feminists ruining everything!"
The dialogue mirrored most sane reader's thoughts during the issue, but we're not all monsters. We are just loyal, long-time readers who are sick of our favorite characters being butchered by nose-ringed lesbians for the sake of diversity, and at the apparent expense not just of dialogue, story and creativity but also, it now appears, the commercial success of Marvel's comic books line. …
Increasing customer frustration at obscure third-wave feminism preoccupations shoehorning their way into Marvel's comic books is starting to have an effect on sales. It turns out you can't bully people into caring about "microaggressions." …
Marvel isn't getting the message. Its latest comic book character is — wait for it — a fifteen year-old black female Iron Man. That's right. Tony Stark, the badass, billionaire playboy businessman who has represented the quintessential white American male since the 1960s is to be replaced by a fifteen year-old black girl with an Afro and hooped earrings.
Other comic book publishers are hardly saints, of course. In an issue of DC's Wonder Woman last year, the popular female superhero complained about a villain "mansplaining" to her before an ally punched him in the face for the crime. "The lasso compels truth, but it can't stop mansplaining," declared Wonder Woman as the "bad guy" had his teeth knocked out of his mouth.
The new social political styles seem a weird choice for publishers who have a predominately apolitical — and disproportionately male — audience. …
"We're seeing the worst falloff of Marvel and DC sales in the store's 38-year history," complained one comic book store owner in an industry forum. "Both companies are losing established readers who no longer feel that the company's output reflects the sort of comics they enjoy."
Cambridge Africa-Themed Dinner Provokes SJW Wrath
Africa, Cultural Appropriation, Queens College, Social Justice Warriors
Queens College, Cambridge
The menu didn't even include missionary!
Heat Street:
Students at Cambridge University have been branded racist – for organizing an African-themed dinner.
Invitations to the formal dinner asked if guests would like to "escape college" and "travel far away" and used Swahili phrases from Disney film The Lion King, including "hakuna matata", which means "no worries".
The menu at the Queens' College event, organized by senior students, included Senegal fish balls in a spicy tomato sauce, chicken tagine from Morocco, Nigerian delicacy fried plantain, South African malva pudding, and Cape wine.
In response, undergraduate Alice Davidson wrote a 525-word blog titled "Africa Isn't Yours To Appropriate" accusing organizers of "inappropriately borrowing elements of a minority culture" and using them as "fashion accessories".
Ms Davidson said it would have been better "if the initiative had come from members of the African Society Cambridge University themselves, who could then determine the menu and terms of cultural exchange."
Pointing out that the dinner was held in the Cripps Dining Hall, which is "only" filled with portraits of white people, she added: "Or maybe if the [dinner] was more honestly named 'West African' or 'South African' themed, rather than attempting to reduce an entire continent into three courses."
She went on: "Cultural appropriation is the adoption of elements of one culture by members of another culture, specifically adoption of the minority culture by the majority. Whether it be hairstyles, music, 'fancy dress' or food, what's key is the power dynamic by which the majority has historically oppressed the minority."
Another student supported Ms Davidson, accusing organizers of lumping together 50 countries without giving any thought to their cultural differences – which they would never have done with European states.
Cambridge University African Society president Halimatou Hima confirmed the group withdrew its support for the event over historical prejudices.
io9 Reviewer and "The Jungle Book" (2016)
"The Jungle Book" (2016), Nerd News, Political Correctness, Rudyard Kipling, Social Justice Warriors, io9
Katherine Trendacosta and Rudyard Kipling
Then leftist W.H. Auden, paying valedictory tribute to the reactionary William Butler Yeats in 1939, condescendingly conceded that Kipling's literary merit gained him forgiveness for his Imperialist views:
Time that is intolerant
Of the brave and the innocent,
And indifferent in a week
To a beautiful physique,
Worships language and forgives
Everyone by whom it lives;
Pardons cowardice, conceit,
Lays its honours at their feet.
Time that with this strange excuse
Pardoned Kipling and his views,
And will pardon Paul Claudel,
Pardons him for writing well.
Columbia graduate Katherine Trendacosta, night editor of io9, writing in 2016 is a lot less tolerant than was W.H. Auden back then.
Ms. Trendacosta decisively warns potential viewers of Disney Movie's "The Jungle Book" (2016) that "Rudyard Kipling Was a Racist Fuck and The Jungle Book Is Imperialist Garbage."
We are currently in the 21st century. We are in the second decade of the 21st century and there are not one, not two, but three Jungle Book movies on the horizon. And that means that it's time to remind everyone that Rudyard Kipling was a piece of racist, imperialist trash. …
[There is] inherent racism and imperialism baked into The Jungle Book. And the argument about when the book was written and by whom doesn't excuse either Disney or Warner Bros. from making adaptations of it in the 21st century. Unless these movies are loaded with historical context, or are subversive critiques of Kipling, they're still adapting, for entertainment, a story that has fundamental issues. …
I'm not saying that Kipling should be censored, but I am saying that he cannot be presented without context. There are messages in The Jungle Book that are very hard to remove. Hell, Disney managed to add to the problems in the 1960s when it added a character called King Louie, who is widely seen as a racist caricature of black people. (Kipling's book has monkeys, which are the worst of the animal lot, being incapable of having government and only able to mimic others without a decent culture of their own.)
And, at the end of the day, we're still left with a story where a white person exoticizes a country and its people. How does this idea pass muster in 2016?
Whole thing.
Spectacular, isn't it?
I find, to my amazement, that I now live in a world in which a graduate of an elite university is (apparently) unable to read "The Jungle Book," a tremendously lovable children's classic, with appreciation or enjoyment because she finds the author's world-view and politics ideologically offensive.
Ms. Trendacosta does not actually find it necessary to review the Disney cartoon. She considers it sufficient to indict the author of the book on which, I expect, the animated feature is very loosely based, and to heap abuse on him and the original book.
I am frankly more than a little skeptical as to whether this reviewer has ever actually read "The Jungle Book." She is probably, in reality, just applying political taxonomy based on a glance at the Wikipedia plot summary and an on-line political critique by Edward Said she found somewhere. Had she really read the book, I have to believe that she would speak differently.
Apart from this reviewer's manifest unfamiliarity with, what the late Susan Sontag would have referred to as, the erotics of the reading experience of "TJB," I was myself struck by this writer's total reliance upon petitio principii, "the assumption of the initial point." It never remotely occurs to Ms. Trendacosta that she is under any obligation to offer arguments against Imperialism or the late Rudyard Kipling's belief in the superiority of British culture and institutions to those indigenous to India. Her own perspective is totally absolute and goes without saying, and if you were to violate it by thought crime, one gets the impression that you'd be lucky to get off being merely humiliated and ostracised. You should really be immediately taken out and shot.
io9 is a techie geek sort of blog, the kind of blog that reviews games, software developments, and nerd culture sorts of things, Marvel comics, Star Wars, Game of Thrones. It is depressing and alarming to find the likes of io9 infested by Social Justice Warrior-types, too illiterate to have ever read "The Jungle Book," but ideologically intolerant and arrogant enough to denounce it anyway.
Leftists Turning on the Liberals
Irony, Liberals, Social Justice Warriors, The Left
Yale students confront Silliman College Master Nicholas Christakis
Victor Davis Hanson tends to chuckle when he sees the Revolution devouring its own.
The West is ablaze with protests not just because of the failure of the Left in the cities, on campuses, and across Europe to offer a workable paradigm, but also because of the Left's canonic assurances that it could and would.
Deans and mayors promised utopia. When it did not arrive, the only concession they had left was more failed efforts to achieve the unachievable. People turn on their own more violently than they turn on others, as if a liberal, paternal dean should be able to snap his fingers and make liberal students happy. When he so promises, his ensuing failure only makes things worse.
All the banned micro-aggressions, all the safe spaces, all the trigger warnings, and all the fired deans will not make today's postmodern students happy, much less appreciative, any more than would mandating authentic ethnic cooks and more year-round hot-tubs. Like addicts, they believe one more cheap fix from a compliant supplier will finally do the trick. Don't expect the addict to show gratitude to his dealer.
Leftist revolutionaries cannot be satisfied, because they have long ago been given all they asked for, and are now rebelling for the idea of rebelling against something, even if it is reduced to a micro-aggression or founded on a myth like "Hands up, don't shoot." Millions of inner-city youths are as furious as are elite students. They got the liberal city and the liberal university they wanted — only to rage that human nature is not liberal and that contentment cannot be found through mirror-image government, but only within themselves. How can you rebel against that age-old truth?

right choice delivered to the recipient of the gift to be effective feelings, express your gratitude. But most of the time, buyers often try to buy gifts and not be recognized by the recipients, the reason only to find many buyers in the process of purchasing gift into a misunderstanding of purchasing gifts.
many gift buyers in self-conscious when choosing a gift, in their own interests to choose gifts, which often have the opposite effect. Must stand in the standpoint of customer problems, shower customer status, occupation, personality, gender, age, education, hobbies, and so are the factors we have to consider, if not pay attention, easy gifts to send out jokes.
many buyers in purchasing gifts would go into such a misunderstanding, gift packaging does not matter. Or gift is sent packing, packaging must be luxury. Such extreme ideas is very undesirable. Beautiful packaging can enhance the gift levels, but good value for money. Similarly, good gifts need fancy packaging to set off. Packaging and the value of any gifts don't give recipients too much heart drop, medium well.
different situations, different gifts, doubling the number, the effect is not necessarily double, so the giver at the time of giving gifts, that double gift, the effect is doubled, misunderstanding of send effects as is a gift.
must consider the recipients of gift, including religious beliefs. Otherwise the recipient will not necessarily buy your accounts, but offensive to recipients of your behavior, it is not worth it.
a gift of gifts for all objects, is taboo gifts, most of the effect of gifts. Even send a gift there is cost savings, the advantages of simple operation, and so on, hope givers don't take the gifts.
gift was too expensive, recipients rather than embarrassed, appropriate gifts to the best effect; if the gift has to send you to this point, what next time? Send gifts, pay attention to the room.
selected gift is only half of the gift, good gift etiquette can achieve a multiplier effect. For example, gifts hands for employees, customers, and say a word of congratulations, so wouldn't it be better?


In this Franklin Classic Storybook, our hero can count forwards and backwards. He can zip zippers and button buttons. He can slide down a riverbank by himself. He can even sleep alone is his small, dark shell. And he's trying very hard to be the best player on his soccer team.


Soprano Elaine Alvarez plays Florencia Grimaldi in San Diego Opera's "Florencia en el Amazonas" at the San Diego Civic Theatre.
In San Diego Opera's "Florencia en el Amazonas" there are rolling waves, a 42-foot spinning boat and 30-plus jungle creatures swimming, hopping and flying around the stage. But the most magical element of all in Daniel Catán's magical-realism opera is the singing.
Soprano Elaine Alvarez is stunning in her role debut as Florencia, a world-famous but heartbroken opera singer returning to the wilds of her native Brazil to find her lost love. Her rich, supple voice glides and soars effortlessly through the florid, note-rich score and she acts the role with a sensitivity and emotional conviction normally seen only in veterans of a role.
And supporting her most impressively as the young lovers Rosalba and Arcadio are soprano María Fernanda Castillo and tenor Daniel Montenegro, whose large, crisp voices blend beautifully with Alvarez's creamy sound.
Soprano Maria Fernanda Castillo is Rosalba and tenor Daniel Montenegro is Arcadio in San Diego Opera's "Florencia en el Amazonas."
The 1996 Spanish-language opera, which opened Saturday at the San Diego Civic Theatre, is based loosely on the magical-realism novels of Gabriel García Márquez. His protégée Marcela Fuentes-Berain wrote the libretto.
Catán's well-orchestrated score is gorgeously filled with the colors of the Amazon. Under the nuanced conducting of Joseph Mechavich, you can hear the shimmering of the river water in the strings, the wind and the birds in the woodwinds, the rhythm of the paddleboat's engines in the percussion and, very subtly, the soul of Latin America in the marimba and steel drums.
This is the first time "Florencia" has been produced by San Diego Opera, but there's a familiarity to the sound of its arias and ensembles. It has the long vocal lines and catchy melodies of Puccini and the impressionistic imagination of Debussy. But it also has Verdi's beautifully textured harmonies and his pared-down orchestration during Alvarez's grand closing aria.
Stage directed and choreographed by Candace Evans, the opera takes place on a weathered steamboat heading to Florencia's hometown of Manaus, where she'll sing at the reopening of the city's opera house after many years away in Europe. Secretly, she has come to find her lover Cristobal, an elusive butterfly collector who she abandoned for stardom.
Baritone Luis Alejandro Orozco, right, leads a scene where the jungle creatures join in song in San Diego Opera's "Florencia en el Amazonas" at the San Diego Civic Theatre.
On the boat, poignantly named El Dorado, are Rosalba, an aspiring novelist keen to interview Florencia; Arcadio, an aspiring pilot; estranged spouses Alvaro and Paula (Levi Hernandez and Adriana Zabala); and the ship's gentle Capitán (Hector Vásquez).
Guiding them all on their journey of discovery is narrator and shape-shifter Riolobo, sung impressively and playfully by baritone Luis Alejandro Orozco. As in "The Wizard of Oz," the passengers are seeking something they already possess, but it takes a fierce storm and Riolobo's magic to realize it.
The jungle's iguanas, orangutans, crocodiles, macaws, water spirits and even the deadly cholera awaiting the voyagers in Manaus are played by members of the San Diego Opera Chorus, directed by Bruce Stasyna.
Giving them colorful life are costumes, puppets, mobiles and props created by costume designer Linda Pisano. Many are illuminated creatively by lighting designer Todd Hensley. These magical-realism touches are enjoyable to watch, but Florencia's metamorphosis finale, which should be spectacular, only disappoints.
While the lyricism of García Márquez's language can be heard in "Florencia," the fast-moving two-hour opera lacks the grand canvas of a novel. The characters' stories feel truncated, Riolobo's influence cries out for more backstory, the first act ends abruptly and Florencia floats through the story with virtually no interaction with the other passengers.
It's one of those rare times when you wish an opera was longer so you could spend more time in Catán's magical world.
When: 7 p.m. March 20 and March 23. 2 p.m. March 25.
The cast heads downriver in San Diego Opera's "Florencia en el Amazonas" at the San Diego Civic Theatre.

Dioscórides de Samos (en griego antiguo ) fue un musivario helenístico, presumiblemente originario de la isla de Samos, activo a finales del siglo II a. C. (sus obras se han datado ca. 110-100 a. C.)

Perteneciente a la escuela de Asia Menor, presenta sus figuras en composiciones simples y polícromas. Firmó dos obras que se hallaron en la Villa o Casa de Cicerón, una villa romana a las afueras de Pompeya: Escena de comedia: una visita a la hechicera y Escena de comedia: músicos ambulantes del culto de Cibeles. Ambas fueron halladas en 1762, sacadas de su entorno y trasladadas al Museo arqueológico nacional de Nápoles, donde se exhiben actualmente. Ambas incluyen la misma inscripción, en letras griegas, en su parte superior:  (« Dioscórides de Samos lo hizo »).

Hay un fresco con la misma escena que el segundo de los mosaicos, encontrado en Estabia en 1759.

Se considera que los mosaicos deben reproducir pinturas griegas más de un siglo anteriores (ca. 280 a. C.), cuyo clarooscuro las identificaría como de escuela alejandrina, que representarían escenas de Theophoroumene ("La mujer poseída"), una de las comedias nuevas de Menandro. Las máscaras permiten identificar a los personajes: el paràsitos (pícaro o gorrón) que es quien está tocando el tympanum (una especie de pandero), el kòlax (adulador o sicofante) que es quien toca los címbalos, y la diàmitros etàira (diamitrosetaira o hetaira con diamitros -la "mitra" que le sujeta el pelo-), que está tocando el aulós (la doble flauta). El grupo es probablemente la denominada metragyrtai ("mendigos de la Madre", comitiva mendicante que pide para el culto de la "Madre Cibeles").

Su técnica es la denominada opus vermiculatum Las dimensiones del segundo son de 48 cm de alto por 46 de ancho.

En la primera, en un trampantojo arquitectónico, un personaje parcialmente ocultado, de pie, a la derecha, y tres mujeres sentadas en torno a una mesa; las dos más jóvenes se vuelven hacia una más vieja, que tiene una copa en la mano. En la segunda, cuatro personajes en un espacio de reducida profundidad (reproduce el podio de un escenario), cerrado por un muro en el que a la derecha se representa una puerta abierta, de izquierda a derecha: un niño o enano que sostiene lo que podría ser un instrumento musical como el cuerno, un personaje de perfil tocando la flauta doble, y dos más en actitud de danzar mientras tocan instrumentos de percusión.

HPP Nigeria Celebrates Five Years of Progress in Family Planning
Photo by Health Policy Project
ABUJA, Nigeria—On July 23, 2015, the USAID-funded Health Policy Project (HPP)/Nigeria convened a half-day knowledge-sharing forum entitled, "Evidence for Family Planning: Strengthening Advocacy, Decision Making, and Accountability in Nigeria." Celebrating five years of work, the forum served as an opportunity to highlight partner accomplishments in evidence creation and use, and to articulate a way forward for family planning (FP) policy, programs, and funding in Nigeria. More than 70 FP stakeholders attended the forum.
Delivering opening remarks on behalf of USAID, Dr. Joseph Monehin—senior program manager for integrated health—offered insights on why strong, high-quality evidence is a powerful tool for motivating action on FP: it is the cornerstone of effective advocacy; it is essential for driving policy action, as well informing institutional decision making; and it is the foundation of institutional accountability.
Dr. Kayode Afolabi, head of the Division of Reproductive Health at the Federal Ministry of Health, chaired the forum's first session, comprising five partner presentations. Together, these presentations represented the full spectrum of evidence creation and use in Nigeria, as supported by HPP.
The day concluded with a high-level panel discussion, "FP in Nigeria: the Path Forward," which explored the challenges Nigeria must overcome to fully realize its FP2020 and FP Blueprint commitments. Moderated by Dr. Emmanuel Otolorin, Jhpiego country director, panelists highlighted the need for closer engagement of the media on FP matters—key partnerships and modalities for disseminating information on Nigeria's goals and holding stakeholders accountable. Panelists also stressed the importance of adopting strong Costed Implementation Plans (CIPs) in all Nigerian states, which serve as social contracts for government, private sector agencies, donors, and implementing partners.

Bernie Hoppa passed away on October 10, 2019. He was born to Edward and Frances Hoppa in Stevens Point, WI on November 1, 1933. He was educated in Stevens Point grade and high schools and was a graduate of the Wisconsin Institute of Mortuary Science in Milwaukee in June 1959. He held a funeral director and embalmer license ever since.
On Thanksgiving Day in 1954, Bernie met the love of his life, Cecilia Danczyk while conducting the funeral of her grandmother. They were married in 1959, and just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on September 5th. He was in the funeral business for a few years and took a position with the American Automobile Association. After several years he became a counselor for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Catholic Cemeteries. He held this position for thirty years and left in 2000. Since then he has been employed at the Schramka funeral homes in Milwaukee.
Bernie was a self-taught musician and played the marimba for over 65 years. While in high school he and several friends formed a band and played for all occasions. Ever since Christmas of 1972 he performed at St. Mary's Immaculate Conception Church in West Bend for masses, on weekends, and many other occasions.
Bernie enjoyed his loving family, listening to music, reading, taking his daily walk and frequently attending daily mass.
He is survived by his loving wife Ceil; two daughters, Geralynn (Rob) McElhatton, Karla (Mike) Graskey both of West Bend and his son Gerard (Jackie) of Granite Bay, CA. He has four precious grandchildren, Kyle and Quinn McElhatton of West Bend, Madeline Hoppa of Granite Bay, CA and Gavin Graskey of West Bend. He is also survived by his sister Juanita (Ed) Lemancik of Stevens Point, his brother Paul (Marie) of Sussex, and his sister-in-law Rita Hoppa of Orlando, FL. He is further survived by in-laws Regina Ecklund, Norbert Danczyk and Dennis Danczyk. He is preceded in death by his brother Frederick Hoppa of Orlando, FL, five brothers-in-law and three sisters-in law.
Bernie has been a member of the Loyal Order of the Moose since 1967 and has been an active member serving on various committees at St. Mary's.
Bernie was very dedicated to his professions, always making an attempt to provide the highest quality of service to families he assisted throughout his years as a funeral director and counselor for the cemeteries. Bernie was known for his significant attention to detail and providing families with the extra attention needed during a difficult time.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 12:00 PM on Monday, October 14th at St. Mary's Immaculate Conception Catholic Church (406 Jefferson Street, West Bend, WI, 53090) A visitation will be held at the church from 10:30 until 11:45 AM.

Departmental Degree Programs
What are the requirements for the M.A. degree?
Undergraduate coursework equivalent to a major in mathematics from an accredited university. This should include a one-year course in either analysis or abstract algebra, equivalent to Mathematics 501-502 and 521-522 at the University of Louisville. Candidates who have not taken both must complete the second in their M.A. program.
Degree Requirements:
Candidates must complete a program of study approved by the department. All courses (up to a maximum of 12 semester hours) to be taken outside the Department of Mathematics must have prior departmental approval.
All students must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of non-thesis graduate credit, including at least 15 semester hours in the Department of Mathematics, with one full-year sequence, in courses numbered 601 through 689.
Students must satisfy one of the following two requirements:
a. (Examination Option): Pass written examinations in three areas of mathematics chosen from a list prepared by the department. At most two attempts are allowed. Examinations will be approved and administered by the departmental Graduate Studies Committee.
b. (Thesis Option): Write a thesis on an advanced topic in the mathematical sciences. A total of two full-year sequences among courses numbered 601 through 689 must be completed.
Students choosing the Thesis Option must pass a final oral examination described under "Requirements for the Master's Degree" in the General Information section of the Graduate School Catalog.
What are the requirements for the Ph.D. degree?
Major: MATH
Degree: PHD
Unit: GA
Departmental Ph.D. Requirements:
All students admitted to the program must complete the following or their equivalent:
Core Courses (24 semester hours:
Two sequences, each of six (6) semester hours, chosen from:
Algebra MATH 621-622
Combinatorics MATH 681-682
Real Analysis MATH 601-602
Applied Statistics MATH 665-667
Mathematical Modeling MATH 635-636
Probability & Mathematical Statistics MATH 660-662
Additional Topics and Area of Specialization - 18 semester hours:
In addition to the core, an application area of 18 hours will be required. The courses may be in a department outside Mathematics. They will be chosen in consultation with the student's advisory committee.
Qualifying Examinations
Students must pass three written examinations. Two of these will be chosen from the areas Algebra, Combinatorics and Real Analysis. The third will be chosen from the areas of Applied Statistics, Mathematical Modeling and Probability & Mathematical Statistics. Normally, these will be taken within a year of completion of the core coursework. These examinations need not be taken together and each may be attempted at most twice.
Industrial Internship - six (6) semester hours:
Each student, with prior approval of the Graduate Studies Director and the Industrial Internship Director, has to complete at least six (6) semester hours of an internship in an appropriate industrial or governmental setting, or have equivalent experience.
Computing Project:
Each student must complete an approved computer project related to the student-s area of concentration.
Candidacy Examination:
Each student must pass an oral examination in the chosen area of concentration. Usually, at most two attempts at passing this examination will be permitted. Students who wish to make a third attempt must petition the Graduate Studies Committee of the department for permission to do so.
Dissertation - 18 to 24 semester hours
A doctoral dissertation is required of each student.
What is the joint M.S.P.H./Ph.D. degree?
Joint degrees in Biostatistics and Mathematics are offered by the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Public Health. Upon completion of the program, students will receive a Ph.D. in Mathematics and an M.S. in Biostatistics.
To be admitted to the program, the student is required to apply to and be accepted by both the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics.
A student seeking admission into this program must submit letters to both departments stating the intent to take advantage of the joint degree program. Applicants will receive written notification stating whether their admission request has been approved or disapproved.
Required Courses:
The required courses consist of the non-overlapping core courses for both the Ph.D. in Mathematics and the M.S.P.H. in Biostatistics-Decision Science.
Course requirements derived from the Ph.D. in Mathematics (24 semester hours). These can be used to satisfy the 6 to 9 semester hours of electives required for the M.S.P.H. in Biostatistics-Decision Science.
Course requirements derived from the M.S.P.H. in Biostatistics-Decision Science (17 to 23 semester hours). These courses can be applied to the 18 semester hours of electives, which are required for the Ph.D. in Mathematics.
Ethical Issues in Decision Making - Ph.D.A 605 (2 semester hours)
Introduction to Pubilc Health and Epidemiology - PHCI 611 (2 semester hours)
Social and Behavioral Sciences in Health Care - PHCI 631 (2 semester hours)
Introduction to Environmental Health - PHCI 651 (2 semester hours)
Health Economics - PHCI 662 (2 semester hours)
Biostatistics-Decision Science Seminar - Ph.D.A 602 (1 semester hour)
Biostatistical Methods I and II - Ph.D.A 680 and 681 (6 semester hours)
Probability and Mathematical Statistics - Ph.D.A 661 and 662 (6 semesters hours). This requirement is waived if the student instead takes the Mathematics 660, 662 sequence listed above.
Combined Internship, Practicum and Masters Thesis:
The industrial internship required by the Department of Mathematics, and the Public Health Practicum and Masters thesis required for the M.S.P.H. can be satisfied by a single internship and technical report which simultaneously satisfies the requirements for both degrees.
The internship must focus on public health and contain advanced mathematical content.
The technical report must meet two requirements:
it must satisfy the requirements for a Master's thesis for the M.S.P.H. degree and it must be written at an advanced mathematical level.
The six (6) semester hours of the internship will be divided as 3 hours for the Department of Mathematics and 3 hours for the Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics.
Dissertation and Qualifying Examinations
In order for the student to fulfil the Ph.D. requirements, the student must satisfy both the qualifying examination and dissertation requirements for the Ph.D. in Mathematics. Failure to complete these requirements will not jeopardize the M.S.P.H. degree, if its requirements have all been satisfactorly completed.
What is the accelerated M.A. degree for undergraduates?
Students who wish to pursue an accelerated M.A. may apply up to nine (9) hours of coursework taken for graduate credit to the requirements for their baccalaureate degree.
Students must apply for admission to the program no later than the end of the junior year and must have completed MATH 205, 206, 301, and 325, or equivalent courses, prior to application.
Applicants must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.5, and a minimum GPA of 3.66 in mathematics courses.
As a part of the combined degree, students must complete MATH 405 and at least four (4) of the following: MATH 501, 502, 521, 522, 561, 562, or 581, including at least one sequence completed from among these courses.
The student may take a maximum of nine (9) hours for graduate credit, which will also apply to the requirements for the baccalaureate degree in Mathematics. All 600-level courses numbered 689 or below qualify, as do 500-level courses, when completed in accord with the stipulations for graduate credit outlined in the syllabus.
M.A. Program Questions
How do I choose a thesis advisor?
There is no formal mechanism for connecting students with advisors. Usually, a student takes a class from a professor, likes the material or the professor, and asks the professor to become her advisor for a Masters thesis.
The professor is under no obligation to say yes, but most of the time an amicable arrangement can be reached.
When a professor agrees to be your advisor, please tell the Graduate Studies Director.
What about an internship instead of a thesis or tests?
The three testing areas are chosen by the departmental Graduate Studies Committee in consultation with the student. The easiest way to proceed is to suggest three testing area to the Graduate Studies Director, who will then put them before the Graduate Studies Committee.
How can I arrange for the testing option?
Students starting the M.A. program before Fall 2003 can choose to do an internship instead of a thesis or tests as a final project. Students starting during Fall 2003 or later may do an internship for credit, but it cannot be used as a final project in lieu of tests or a thesis. Here are Mathematics Department procedures for an M.A. internship.
Ph.D. Program Questions
What about the qualifier exams?
All Ph.D. students must pass three examinations in different areas of advanced mathematics or statistics. Following is the relevant part of the Ph.D. program description:
Students must pass three written examinations. Two of these will be chosen from the areas Algebra, Combinatorics and Real Analysis. The third will be chosen from the areas Mathematical Modeling, Applied Statistics and Probability & Mathematical Statistics. Normally, these will be taken within a year of completion of the core coursework. These examinations need not be taken together. Usually, at most two attempts at passing this examination will be permitted. Students who wish to make a third attempt must petition the Graduate Studies Committee of the department for permission to do so.
Every year, the exams will be given in January and August. Each exam will be 3 1/2 hours long.

What's an advisory committee?
Upon admission to the Ph.D. program, every student is assigned an advisory committee of three faculty members to help with curriculum decisions. This advisory committee need not, and probably will not, contain the student's eventual dissertation advisor. Its purpose is to make sure the student is well informed about early choices in her graduate career.
GTA Questions
What if I have to miss a class that I teach?
If the absense is planned ahead of time, notify your course coordinator of your absense, so that someone can be lined up to substitute for you. Regular absenses are not acceptable.
Emergencies happen, so it is possible you might miss class unexpectedly. If this happens, you should call the Mathematics Department Chair as soon as possible to notify him of your problem.
What should I do if students ask me to let them into my class when it is closed?
Only the Chair or Assistant Chair of the Department have the authority to allow students into closed sections. Explain this to the student and send him or her to see the Assistant Chair.
What about GradList?
Math Graduate Student E-mail List
How do I unsubscribe from GradList?
To do so, you must send a command to, Majordomo, the software that serves the list. This is done by sending it an e-mail message. If you are unsubscribing from GradList, send your message to
GradList-request@erdos.math.louisville.edu
Sending your message to the standard list address will do nothing. The only thing to appear in the message should be the single word
Make sure your mailer does not automatically append anything else to the message, and it's best to send the message as plain text e-mail. The return address on your message must be in the database of subscribers, so send the message from the same account you use to receive mail from the list. You should get an acknowledgement from the Majordomo software a short time after you unsubscribe. If this acknowledgement does not appear, something went wrong. More information about unsubscribe and other commands is available by sending e-mail containing the single word "help" to majordomo@erdos.math.louisville.edu.
If you change your e-mail address, please remember to unsubscribe from your old one and subscribe under your new address.
How do I subscribe to GradList?
Anyone can subscribe to the GradList. To do so, you must send a command to, Majordomo, the software that serves the list. This is done by sending it an e-mail message. If you are subscribing to GradList, send your message to
In either case, the only thing to appear in the message should be the single word
You should get an acknowledgement from the Majordomo software a short time after you subscribe. If this acknowledgement does not appear, something went wrong. More information about subscribe and other commands is available by sending e-mail containing the single word "help" to majordomo@erdos.math.louisville.edu.
How do I post messages to the list?
To post a message to the discussion lists, just send an ordinary email message to GradList@erdos.math.louisville.edu. This message will be automatically distributed to all subscribers. If the return address on the message is not in the subscriber list, the message will be rejected.
There is no moderation on the list, so be careful what you post. When your message is sent, it will be immediately forwarded to all list subscribers.
There are a few nuances to posting that are sometimes nuisances.
First, the list management software, Majordomo, is set to look for certain key words in the subject of messages to avoid administrative commands being posted to the list. These include words such as subscribe and unsubscribe.
Second, only those subscribed to the list may post to the list. All other messages are rejected. The way Majordomo determines membership is from the sender's e-mail address. So, if you want to post to the list, you should probably send the message from the same account at which you receive mail from the list. (Or set your mail software to have an appropriate return address.) The reason for this requirement is to keep the spammers off the list.

Suu Kyi trial in Burma (Myanmar) highlights activist's limited power
The regime allowed journalists and diplomats to watch the trial as it entered its third day.

Nyan Win, spokes man of Aung San Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), and one of her lawyers, speaks to reporters in front of the party's headquarters in Rangoon, Burma.
By Patrick Winn Contributor to The Christian Science Monitor
By now, the junta that governs Burma (Myanmar) is accustomed to the din of international outrage that follows each new incrimination of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The latest has the pro-democracy icon in an ongoing trial inside Burma's notorious Insein Prison. She's charged with briefly sheltering an American admirer who donned makeshift flippers and swam to her lakeshore home, where she has lived under house arrest for 13 of the past 19 years.
The trial has revitalized Ms. Suu Kyi's power to elicit sympathy worldwide for Burma's suppressed democracy movement. But it has also highlighted the difficulty of translating that moral authority into political reform.
"Especially in the West, they love this image of Suu Kyi. But Burma has proved it can withstand international pressure," says Pavin Chachavalpongpun, a visiting researcher at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore.
Sentence was set to expire
Suu Kyi's latest charges come less than two weeks before her current sentence was set to expire. Supporters had been publicly doubting whether she would be released on May 27 as scheduled.
The junta needed a new excuse to muzzle Suu Kyi in advance of 2010 elections, which will probably be staged, says Mr Chachavalpongpun, echoing a widely held view.
"Every direction is closed off to Suu Kyi," he continues. "Whether they arrest her or put her in jail, things will remain the same. The military needs to distance her from the election process as much as possible."
John Yettaw, the Missourian who illegally swam to Suu Kyi's compound and stayed overnight, represented a "golden opportunity" for the junta, he says.
Housing foreigners without permission is illegal under Burmese law, and both Mr. Yettaw and Suu Kyi were arrested. Yettaw's stay also violated the terms of her house arrest: no guests without official permission.
"I admire her decision," says Nyo Ohn Myint, a senior member of Suu Kyi's party, the National League of Democracy, who is based in Thailand. Suu Kyi's unwillingness to turn the man away, he says, reveals her trademark kindness.
Pro-democracy diaspora
World leaders have expressed admiration for Suu Kyi as a prisoner of conscience. She has been imprisoned off and on by the junta since 1990 elections that should have made her prime minister. The military rejected the results and imprisoned many others also elected in those polls.
Many of those people eventually fled to form a global pro-democracy diaspora. Though they've failed to topple the junta, they have succeeded in keeping Suu Kyi's name alive – and winning Western sympathy for their cause.
Western nations have issued waves of condemnation in defense of Suu Kyi.
"They've [the regime] at least boosted her image," said Aung Zaw, who fled Burma to found the Thailand-based Irawaddy magazine on Burma affairs. "Their fear of her proves she's relevant. I can imagine her in her cell, smiling and thinking, 'Thanks for the PR.' "
The junta made an unexpected allowance Wednesday by inviting reporters and diplomats to Suu Kyi's trial, now in its third day.
But Suu Kyi's symbolic strength has not proven powerful enough to sway Burma's military government. Nor can it block the support of regional trading partners, including China, which back Burma, a country rich in timber and natural gas.
"Events in Myanmar should be decided by the people of Myanmar," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu at a news briefing.
Suu Kyi's imprisonment has elicited a stronger-than-expected rebuke from ASEAN, or the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which includes Burma. The group has a policy of noninterference among member countries. An ASEAN statement released this week requested "humane treatment" for Suu Kyi.
Although the group expressed "grave concern," it declined to bring sanctions.

For cable systems only (both standard steering and DockStar Handling System); hydraulic steering maintenance must be completed by an authorized MasterCraft Dealer only. Because this process should be completed while all movable components of the drive train are NOT in motion, MasterCraft recommends lubrication be done while the boat is out of the water. The process below is for all MasterCraft boat models. Additional steps listed after are required for ProStar rudders.
Ensure the engine is OFF and disconnect the engine safety stop switch. Be sure that the throttle/shift control lever is in neutral. The engine must be cool.
Remove the access panel in the rear trunk compartment.
Turn the steering wheel so that the maximum amount of steering cable is seen (see photo to the right, notice that the engine has been removed, this is not necessary for lubrication).
Use solvent to clean old lubricant from the cable end, pivot and rudder shaft.
Spread a generous amount of white lithium grease over the cable end. Work the steering wheel back and forth and reapply grease.
Using the flexible end of a grease gun, give two (2) full shots of white lithium grease to the zerk fitting on the steering tube pivot (circled above). Clean up any old grease purged from the areas.
Rotate the steering wheel back and forth several times to work the lubricant in.

Working in an office atmosphere and sitting at a desk job can negatively impact health. Staying stationary paired with unhealthy snacks can greatly effect the risk of obesity and heart disease. So how to stay healthy at work? Try these seven tips on way to stay healthy at work!
Working in an office atmosphere and sitting at a desk job can negatively impact health. The average individual sits close to eight hours of their day, with the higher end up to 15 hours – that is over half of a 24-hour day! Staying stationary paired with vending machine snacks can tremendously effect the risk of obesity and heart disease. A coworker bringing donuts to the morning meeting is a generous thought, but indulging in these foods too often compromises health. So, how do you stay healthy at work? bistroMD suggests seven tips and expert health advice for those with desk jobs!
Preparing and bringing your own meals reduces the temptation for ordering out. And though takeout orders can be healthful, swift lunch breaks often resort to quick drive thru meals. Additionally, keep healthy snacks conveniently at your desk to avoid trips to the vending machines.
Offices are notorious for having their vibrant, candy-filled bowls and walking past it intensifies the temptation to grab a piece. Though candy here and there is okay, your body may not appreciate accepting the invitation each time. Swap out candy with nutrient-rich fruits, nuts and seeds, or pieces of gum to promote a healthier environment. Ditching the candy bowl entirely may be a battle with coworkers so make the switch a gradual process by slowly replacing candy with nutritious foods.
Pro tip: Keep a water cup at your desk or working area. Thirst can be mistaken for hunger and sipping on water throughout the day reduces the urge to snack along with regular trips to the soda machine. Plus, keeping your body hydrated assists in efficient absorption and digestion of foods consumed.
Sitting down and sedentary lifestyles can negatively impact health and increase the risk of obesity and chronic diseases. But one of the best health advices for desk jobs points to a newer health trend: stand-up desks. Stand-up desks can break those sitting consequences and promote calorie burning, muscle toning, an improved posture, and blood flow.
Instead of aimlessly browsing through social media and snacking during breaks, start getting active! Take walks in or around the building during lunch or if taking a bathroom break, choose the longest route. Squeezing in small times and frequencies of exercise can truly be beneficial, especially when poor snack choices have been replaced.
Challenge your coworkers! Invite coworkers with pedometers to weekly stepping challenges – the person with the most accumulated steps gets to choose what goes in the snack bowl, a $10 gift card to a sporting store, or any other prizes and rewards desired. A weight loss challenge can further instill motivation and support among coworkers.
Devote times of the week or month to promote health. Create small events that best accommodate to work schedules. Occasions may include a group yoga session, a healthified taco bar for Taco Tuesday, or a snacking station filled with various types of hummus and nutritious veggies. Creating a healthy environment along with strong group participation can facilitate a healthier you!
Staying healthy at work can assist in weight loss and disease reduction, contributing to lower healthcare costs and work absences – reduced sick leaves, lessened hospital visits, etc. However, the benefits are quite circular, as optimizing health can supply to higher levels of energy and produce higher work efficiency and stronger work relationships. A healthy work environment results to a happy, productive work environment!
