    "abstract": "How to Become a Butcher Keith Hood (bio) Lay the foundation for a bloody career of decapitating poultry and slicing the flesh of cows, pigs, and other livestock by being born Negro, in 1924, the second of seven children birthed in a misshapen, low-ceilinged, four-room house in Inkster, Michigan. You receive Lincoln Logs for Christmas when you are five and imagine designing a new house with cleaner lines and a higher ceiling that does not risk brushing your father's head. Decide to become an architect. Grow up with other large families, all of them Black like you, on a street full of bicycles, tricycles, and scooters with wheels that are dirt-caked because Inkster streets will not be paved for another forty years. Walk the gravel streets on your way to school, admiring the Sears kit bungalow on Cherry Street around the corner from your house. Admire one of your classmates, Eleanor Hicks, the girl who lives in the Cherry Street bungalow. Learn reading and arithmetic from your father. Master numbers better than your older brother and other siblings. They can all count to one-hundred and beyond, but you do sums in your head. Your siblings call it magic. So does Eleanor. Impress your teacher who doesn't believe in magic. Your father's proud smile warms your heart because you aren't yet aware that he's tricked you. Accede to your father's request that you join him peddling vegetables from your garden, door to door. His pushcart's spoked wheels are taller than you. A scale is chained to its slatted wooden side. Spinach and cabbage five cents. Onions seven cents a bushel. Eggs from yard chickens, ten cents a dozen. Handle the money. Make change. \"Great job, son,\" your father will say. \"You know, we need to be selling more than eggs and vegetables.\" Take a family trip to Detroit where Gratiot Central Market and other meat packers are happy to give your father pounds and pounds of discarded \"chitterlings\" that he plans to sell at five cents a pound for the upcoming July 4th holiday. Clean and wash the stinky things, cut them up, put them in buckets, put the buckets in ice on your father's pushcart. Bask in his widening smile as the day progresses. Make change as the pig entrails sell out. Ask to be included in a special beginning algebra class for eighth graders. Stare at equations on the blackboard and discern from the corner of your eye how the teacher catches your gaze, appreciates your gaze, a gaze like a kitten's when it's about to pounce on a ball of string. Determine that equations are important. Your teacher gives you a gift: your first slide rule. Show it to Eleanor. She looks as if you'd shown her some intricate language, which, of course, you have. Consider the slight weight of the twenty-five-cent coin in your palm. That's your weekly payment for cutting meat and packing vegetables into wicker baskets. The food cart is replaced by a pick-up truck where you sit in the bed with the foodstuffs and the money box. [End Page 2] Thank your father for the quarter while thinking this is not going to cut it. You need Set squares, T-squares, and protractors; perhaps, for fun, an abacus. Take odd jobs in the neighborhood. Shoveling snow, planting flowers, mowing lawns, raking leaves, shoveling snow again. The seasons chart your life. Your customers love you, the light-skinned ambitious boy who points out the angles of their houses and roofs. Hum jazz tunes as you work. Sing Billie Holiday's \"They Can't Take That Away from Me\" to Eleanor and feel the blush and tingle when she says, \"Nice voice, better than Billie or Fred Astaire.\" Retrieve the Detroit Free Press and Detroit Evening Times from your door step every evening and develop a newspaper reading habit. You're responsible for collecting mail, too. The Detroit Tribune: Leading Negro Weekly of Michigan arrives in the mailbox every Monday. Your father mostly subscribes to read the classifieds. You like the news and the comics sections...",

    "abstract": "In the early 1950s, when Eugene Braunwald was just entering cardiology, there was not a lot a doctor could do for a patient with a heart attack or heart failure. Some heart diseases were beyond diagnosis. Using cardiac catheters and other tools, Braunwald would literally probe the heart for answers to such basic questions as how the heart pumps blood and how it uses oxygen, laying the foundation for modern cardiovascular physiology. In 1959, he and colleagues identified a whole new disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He followed that up with an even more stunning discovery—that heart attacks could be arrested as they were happening. Braunwald has spent decades researching and testing ways to stop—and prevent—heart disease. He has taught, written over a thousand journal articles, authored and edited classic textbooks, held top administrative posts, and lectured around the world. He is a member of numerous societies, including the National Academy of Sciences. In 1984, he established the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) trials, where he works daily. His office walls are covered with awards and honorary degrees. The most treasured is his honorary doctorate from the University of Vienna. Braunwald, who is the Hersey Distinguished Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Founding Chairman of the TIMI Study Group, spoke with me in his office. You were born in Vienna, in the summer of 1929, just 11 years after the break up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was a pivotal—almost paradoxical—moment. Vienna had been a thriving center of creativity and self-expression for artists, musicians, and writers. And scientists. Yes, and scientists. And doctors. And the great university. But Vienna—and all of Austria—were on the brink of huge and repressive political changes, changes that would ultimately result in Austria being annexed to Hitler's Germany. You were too young then to know all this but I was wondering how would you set the scene in retrospect? My memory begins around 1934 but from my earliest recollections it was a wonderful place. Culture was at a very high level. The center of Vienna had been built by the emperor Franz Joseph in the second half of the preceding century and nothing had changed. Vienna was caught in a time warp. Though the Austro-Hungarian Empire had been disassembled and Austria was now a small country, Vienna was left pretty much intact. The opera was at the world level, the museums, the university, the medical school. But bubbling underneath was a core of anti-Semitism. That was not unusual for central Europe in the first half of the 20th century. The great neuroscientist Eric Kandel was born in Vienna just 2 months after you. In his memoirs, he talks about how the music of Mahler resonated through the streets, as did the images of artists like Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt. It was part of the fabric of life. It was part of the fabric of life. Your family lived right in the center, in the 1st district—a very elegant district. When I was born, we lived in the 4th district. We were upwardly mobile, as they say. We later moved into the 1st district. You said that you had your first memories around 1934. What are some of those earliest memories? My earliest memories were of the apartment house where we lived in the fourth district. It was on the main street of that part of Vienna. I remember going for walks with my mother. We lived pretty close to a major street and there was equal horse traffic and automobile traffic. Of course, I remember my brother's birth. He was born in 1934, so I was 5. What's his name? Jack. It was Hans but my parents later changed that. Was your name Eugene to start off with? It was Eugen, without an e. Were you named after a deceased relative? Yes, my grandfather. There were four Eugenes. My mother and 3 of her siblings named their first male child Eugene after their father, who died around 1921. I remember growing up with family around, largely on my mother's side. In the winter between 1934 and 1935 we moved to the first district. You've described the early part of your life as idyllic, surrounded by family. It was a privileged upbringing—you had piano lessons. I had a piano tutor and an English tutor. It seems your parents wanted to give you everything that they didn't have when they were kids. How did they meet? My father was 21, my mother was 20. They loved opera—where that spark came from I don't know. They were both poor and they were in the standing room section of the Vienna Opera. They would go fairly frequently and they would see each other. After about a half dozen times, my father asked this beautiful young woman whether she would have a cup of coffee with him, because that's all he could afford. How would you describe their marriage? It's the happiest marriage that I have encountered, and I know a lot of couples. Your father really turned things around—he became quite a successful businessman. What were the qualities that contributed to his success? He was driven, ambitious, perceptive, and very smart. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You were the first son—your brother Hans was born 5 years later. How would you describe the differences between you? I am more aggressive. Jack became a brilliant hematologist and empathetic physician; he's a very cultured and scholarly man. But when I was growing up, the “Eugene” thing was a pretty big deal—there was a lot of sibling rivalry. Between you and the other Eugenes? No, the rivalry was between my mother and her two sisters and a brother. It was the pressure of the parents—“You have to produce. We'll get you a piano teacher, we'll get you an English tutor.” For me, the idea of pushing hard, and being driven, came from two sides: it was my observation of my father, and it was my mother who wanted me to be better than her sisters' Eugenes: “My Eugene is as good as your Eugene.” The central values that your parents taught you were certainly a love of learni",

Everychild was seventeen going on a hundred, what with everything that lay ahead. They were pale after months chained to their laptop, pale and blond and exceedingly white, though this too galled them, to be no more than an ally as the world went up in flames. Time to think about college applications, their parents began to chirp in October, Covid month seven. [End Page 51] \"What's the point?\" Everychild's voice was flat. \"We'll all be climate refugees, and you'll be dead.\" Afterward, Mom and Dad cast their minds back. Was there a precise moment, some tipping point they'd missed? Time had become so folded upon itself that year. Perhaps it began right after the Day No One Could Breathe. When the birds, disoriented, failed to lift into the orange-black sky. When they and Everychild and Younger Brother all woke to the same suffocating murk, six months into the pandemic. It coated them inside and out: skin, feathers, alveoli. The entire state of California was aflame, Silicon Valley run aground on the Exxon Valdez. Outside was the world they had made, both visible and invisible: smoke and ash and fire and virus. They couldn't leave the house, even if they hadn't been sheltering in place. They couldn't even step into the yard. The pool water was slick with platinum ash. During that orange week—the color of a dying sun—the doorbell rang. Bags filled with food appeared on the front porch. \"Like magic!\" exclaimed Dad, surprised by how easy it had been. Until now, he'd sallied forth with list and mask. Now, literally no one could fucking breathe. At the unaccustomed ding-dong, each of them emerged from their separate lairs. \"Jesus, Dad,\" said Everychild. Their hair was cut at a sharp angle that week; patches of hot pink blush outlined their eye sockets. Inside the rings, those cutting green eyes. \"Did you even think about the delivery people?\" Mom, in her noise-canceling headphones, flapped her hands and mimed that she was on a call. \"Did you tip them massively, at least?\" At dinner that night—line-caught tuna, organic Brussels sprouts—their father looked perplexed. \"It's not like there's any choice. It's not safe to shop. Buying online at least gives them jobs.\" \"Them?\" Everychild raised their narrow shoulders. \"Have you even thought about the carbon footprint of all this shit? All these trucks, the fucking Amazon?\" \"What about Amazon?\" Younger Brother's head jerked up as if sensing a predator. He was fifteen and tethered to his games, downloadable, thank God, but even he required a delivery from time to time. \"We've been through this.\" Dad shook his head. \"Trucking everything to stores and everyone driving to those stores is no different, maybe even worse, than delivering door-to-door.\" \"Maybe trucking is the problem,\" Everychild said. [End Page 52] The next morning they were scrubbed clean. Gone the makeup, along with most of the flaxen hair. \"I've been thinking,\" they announced. \"About my applications.\" The parents couldn't help but feel a spurt of relief. It didn't have to be an Ivy, they'd agreed—but someplace in the second tier, at least. \"It's a project,\" was all their eldest child would say. \"Physical, in the real world, maybe part of a portfolio.\" Art school was better than nothing, Mom murmured. Everychild didn't hear this; they were scanning the kitchen. \"No way!\" They lurched suddenly toward the coffee machine. \"Almond milk? Really, Dad?\" Their bone-white fingers tightened on the Tetra-Pak. \"It takes a gallon of water to grow a single almond, did you know that? Tell me it even crossed your mind?\" Dad sighed. Their family did their best, eco-wise. They recycled metal, plastic, and glass, dumped rinds in the compost, tried not to waste water in this land of endless drought. In his own youth, he'd boycotted tuna to save the dolphins. But it was he who did the shopping...",

    "abstract": "An emergency is a situation that causes an immediate risk to the property, health, or lives of civilians and can assume a variety of forms such as traffic accidents, fires, personal medical emergencies, terrorist attacks, robberies, natural disasters, etc. Emergency response services (ERSs) such as police, fire, and medical services play crucial roles in all communities and can minimize the adverse effects of emergency incidents by decreasing the response time. Response time is not only related to the dispatching system, but also has a very close relationship to the coverage of the whole network by emergency vehicles. The goal of this dissertation is to develop a model for an Emergency Management System. This model will dynamically relocate the emergency vehicles to provide better coverage for the whole system. Also, when an emergency happens in the system the model will consider dispatching and relocation problem simultaneously. In addition, it will provide real-time route guidance for emergency vehicles. In summary, this model will consider three problems simultaneously: area coverage, vehicle deployment, and vehicle routing. This model is event-based and will be solved whenever there is an event in the system. These events can be: occurrence of an emergency, change in the status of vehicles, change in the traffic data, and change in the likelihood of an emergency happening in the demand nodes. Three categories of emergency vehicle types are considered in the system: police cars, ambulances, and fire vehicles. The police department is assumed to have a homogeneous fleet, but ambulances and fire vehicles are heterogeneous. Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances are considered, along with Fire Engines, Fire Trucks, and Fire Quints in the fire vehicle category. This research attempts to provide double coverage for demand nodes by non-homogenous fleet while increasing the equity of coverage of different demand nodes. Also, the model is capable of considering the partial coverage in the heterogeneous vehicle categories. Two kinds of demand nodes are considered, ordinary nodes and critical nodes. Node demands may vary over time, so the model is capable of relocating the emergency fleet to cover the points with highest demand. In addition, an attempt is made to maintain work load balance between different vehicles in the system. Real-world issues, such as the fact that vehicles prefer to stay at their home stations instead of being relocated to other stations and should be back at their home depots at the end of the work shift, are taken into account. This is a unique and complex model; so far, no study in the literature has addressed these problems sufficiently. A mathematical formulation is developed for the proposed model, and numerical examples are designed to demonstrate its capabilities. Xpress 7.1 is used to run this model on the numerical examples. Commercial software like Xpress can be used to solve the proposed model on small-size problems, but for large-size and real-world problems, an appropriate heuristic is needed. A heuristic method that can find good solutions in reasonable time for this problem is developed and tested on several cases. Also, the model is applied to a real-world case study to test its performance. To investigate the model's behavior on a real-world problem, a very sophisticated simulation model that can see most of the details in the system has been developed and the real case study data has been used to calibrate the model. The results show that the proposed model is performing very well and efficient and it can greatly improve the performance of emergency management centers.",

    "abstract": "The past few years have shown a significant increase in demand for diversity in the global beer market. HEINEKEN, the third largest beer brewer in the world, has therefore embraced a global strategy with a diverse product portfolio in beer and packaging types. This strategy towards diversity is directly affecting the supply chain of global supplier HEINEKEN Netherlands Supply (HNS). The organization has to cope with increasing demand and diversity for over 160 countries as their direct customers. The result of increased diversity is clearly seen in the number of produced Stock Keeping Units (SKU’s) at the Zoeterwoude brewery, which almost doubled from 2012 to 2014. The three main processes within the HNS supply chain are brewing, packaging and outbound logistics. The current supply chain planning is mainly focused on packaging, as this is the most expensive process. However, the growing volume and SKU diversity have resulted in additional challenges within outbound logistics operations. These challenges are perceived as complexity by HNS without identifying clear factors and drivers for this perception. In this research is therefore analysed how diversity influences the perceived complexity at the outbound logistics organization of HNS. The main research question is: What is the impact of an expanding product portfolio on perceived complexity in outbound logistics operations and how can the main drivers for this perception be managed in the future? Complexity in this research is defined as the uncertainty in processes as a result of increased diversity. Based on the commercial HEINEKEN strategy, the diversity in the portfolio for HNS is expected to increase in the future. The research goal is therefore not to challenge product diversity but to determine the key factors that drive uncertainty at HNS based on the diversity. Through extensive literature research and expert interviews at HNS, different types of perceived complexity in a supply chain have been defined. These types are structured in the framework for perceived complexity. Market and customer variety form the input of perceived complexity, factors that cannot be influenced by a production organization like HNS. A qualitative analysis based on the framework has revealed the main drivers for each type of perceived complexity. A quantitative case study analysis at HNS has strengthened the framework by analysing trends for the key factors that drive perceived complexity at the breweries in Den Bosch and Zoeterwoude. The results of both the qualitative and quantitative analysis are summarized below. Product complexity - Uncertainty related to the product portfolio. This is driven by the number of SKU’s that are produced by an organization and the volume related to these SKU’s. At HNS specifically, uncertainty is driven by the diversity in loading types requested by the market. The expanding portfolio has reduced insight in the logistical impact per SKU, increasing uncertainty of the expected volume flows in the warehouses at Zoeterwoude and Den Bosch. Technology complexity – Uncertainty related to available technology, both physical and information related. Physical technology is related to capacities of equipment and warehouse layout. As this information is clearly reported at HNS, no specific uncertainty is related to physical technology in this research. At HNS, uncertainty is mainly driven by missing information in the variety of IT systems, perceived as information technology complexity. A very important driver for perceived complexity is the absence of logistics parameters per SKU that determine the impact of a packaging plan on outbound logistics operations. Process complexity - Uncertainty in the logistics processes resulting from a mismatch between products and technology. HNS is faced with a simultaneous increase of SKU diversity and volume, leading to full warehouses and inefficient use of space. Reactive solutions are currently in place to cope with the high storage volume as no clear outlook of expected volumes is provided. Planning complexity - Uncertainty in logistics planning, driven by the absence of the most important logistics parameters per SKU. The current IT and planning structure at HNS limit the possibility to plan the expected stock and load volumes in the long term. From the case study analysis is concluded that information availability is the most important driver for perceived complexity at HNS. The Zoeterwoude and Den Bosch brewery both face an increase in storage volume of finished SKU’s, while the logistics parameters that determine storage demand are not measured. This limits the translation of the long-term packaging plan towards storage and load planning, thereby increasing uncertainty in expected volumes. It is also concluded that HNS can reduce the uncertainty driven by this missing information, as the logistics parameters are all covering internal processes that are controlled by HNS. The planning organization therefore has a large influence on the perceived complexity; measuring the logistics parameters correctly enables HNS to create more clarity in the long term by planning the expected demand for storage and loading. Managing perceived complexity at HNS is therefore focused on designing a long-term logistics planning model that is based on the packaging plan. A functional model is designed for the Zoeterwoude brewery that determines the impact of the main volume flows on outbound logistics processes. The identified flows are the packaging flow at the brewery and co-fill, re-pack and inter-brewery flows that come into the warehouse from other facilities. The main parameters that determine the logistical impact in the model are the following: - Loading type; determines the type of warehouse handlings and demand for storage - Cross-dock percentage; determines how much of the volume can be loaded directly - Storage time: determines how long a certain SKU has to be stored in the warehouse By coupl",

    "abstract": "The Start.—When the American traveller goes to the Grand Central Depot in New York, he has probably secured his ticket beforehand, as he can very rarely do in Europe; he drives to the baggage-room, where his baggage is not weighed at all, but is checked in a trice, instead of being daubed and pasted over with nasty paper labels; and he proceeds to a well-warmed, comfortable waiting-room, or more probably directly to the train, carrying himself his small baggage, and usually in ten minutes at most he is off. Had he been abroad, it would have been indispensable at a large terminal station to allow a full half-hour before the departure of the fast express train for buying tickets and registering baggage. The writer recently spent (and wasted of course) twenty-five minutes by the watch during cold weather, but under ordinary circumstances, waiting in the draughty baggage-shed, in the splendid Gare du Nord, or Northern Station, in Paris, simply to register ordinary baggage for London. There, as everywhere, it was placed in line on a truck, and had to wait for one machine to weigh and one official to register, and for a long queue of shivering, nervous, and impatient travellers to pay out odd sums, often very heavy, after an approximate verification of their “bulletins, and now and then a wordy and futile discussion with the official. As each one escaped from this trial, he marched off to the human cattle-pen, known more euphoniously as first and second class waiting-room, and rejoined his small baggage, fumbled about for a small fee to the porter who had brought it in, having previously given a larger fee to another porter who had brought in his large luggage, trundling it slowly up to the weighing machine; then he tried to compose himself. This was simply the usual trial at large stations. Our waiting-rooms (and cars too) are hot and stuffy; abroad, they are cold and stuffy.—Finally, the unpenning is announced in an outburst of official grandiloquence, and a pell-mell rush ensues, tempered only with official insolence, and obviating all the advantages and rights of first-comers. The train is amply pointed out by signs and officials, and the different classes of carriages are usually painted differently, or distinctly marked, first, second, third, and in some countries a fourth, class. As for the general appearance of the train, the locomotive is likely to strike the American eye as “an old tub.” 157 It lacks grace and beauty, color, character, and sex , as a rule; in all of which features American machines excel. The cars are neat, and often elegant in build and ornamentation, especially the first-class, of course, and recently also the second. In size they resemble the long, high freight-cars used with us for hay or grain, and are divided transversely into three or four disconnected compartments, entered by a door on either side, and holding eight or ten persons each; so that a carriage contains from twenty-four to forty passengers. In style and comfort they vary, according to the fare paid. This is an admirable system, thoroughly democratic, and strangely in contrast with our aristocratic system; for before the days of palace cars, the poor man had almost no privilege, like the rich, of moving himself or family freely about in a nominally free country, for lack of cheap fares, and on account of false pride and social theories.",

    "abstract": "As efficiency and sustainability become more important, researchers are working on new concepts to improve the way logistics are handled in the current Supply Chain Management (SCM). One concept gaining popularity is the delivery of products in urban areas using bicycles. More companies started using bicycles as an alternative transportation mode and face challenges to efficiently satisfy their customers and employees needs. Large cities with uphill roads require transportation systems to take into account the energy needed by cyclists to move. The load carried on push-bikes has to be kept under a certain threshold for cyclists to be able to pedal on ascending roads. Therefore, cyclists have to choose their route differently to vehicle drivers, hence the need for optimised routing. Another concept gaining popularity is the collaboration in logistics between several companies. Collaboration is thought to be an enabler for a sustainable and efficient SCM. One important improvement of modern logistics is the frequent exchange of containers via multiple cross-docks which requires spatial and time synchronisation between different types of vehicles. Since each logistics network has its specificities and requirements, new solutions such as the Physical Internet (PI) arise with standardised PI-Containers and protocols to face this challenge. By connecting several transportation networks through collaboration, the PI is expected to considerably improve the way logistics are handled in the current SCM. Connecting several distribution networks will produce continually varying network conditions arising from traffic growth. Some regions of the network would suffer from bottlenecks that could lead to an increase in transportation costs. One reason is that traditional routing protocols in logistics do not learn from their previous experiences of network problems such as congestion. Therefore, an intelligent network traffic control method is essential to avoid this problem. As routing problems are at centre stage in transportation sciences, they represent a critical research scope to study in order to improve logistics. As a consequence, in this thesis, three research directions involving routing problems are identified and solved to provide more flexible and extended models to the aforementioned research gaps. First, a new problem is introduced to tackle constraints arising for bicycle deliveries. A novel Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model and an Evolutionary Local Search algorithm are developed to efficiently solve the problem. Experimental results show the accuracy and stability of the proposed algorithm compared to the CPLEX solver from IBM on a wide range of generated instances. A real-world scenario is also studied to demonstrate the relevance of this method. Second, this research focuses on the way the VRP can be solved while considering an important number of attributes for real-life applications. A rich vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery including several attributes for the PI is studied. A mathematical formulation is proposed and implemented in CPLEX to solve the problem. The model is then extended to handle multi-objective, uncertainty and dynamism. Multi-threaded meta-heuristics based on Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithm are developed with a set of new operators to handle the problem specificities. Computational results on a generated data-set showed that the proposed meta-heuristics are superior to CPLEX in terms of solvability and computational time. A classical benchmark on pickup and delivery problems was also used to validate the proposed method against state-of-the-art methods. The algorithms are integrated into a framework and used to provide solutions for a local company. Third, the paradigm between the digital and physical internet is explored to propose a new routing approach based on packet routing. While deep learning has been demonstrated to be a promising method for solving numerous optimisation problems efficiently, its application on packet routing is relatively new and rare. This research provides a proof of concept and sheds light on new opportunities to design efficient routing protocols for logistics with deep learning. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to not only learn the shortest path for deliveries but also to take into account the truck fulfilment rates to improve global efficiency.",

    "abstract": "In the last years, more awareness has risen on the origin, safety and quality of our agricultural products, and by extension our foods in general. Environmental responsible treatment of our food, and the consequences of consumption, are very relevant issues. Awareness is mainly caused by recent food scandals, considered to be caused by mass production and distribution of foods on a global scale. Laws and regulation in the sector decreases the compensation for the producers of crops, the farmers. Consequently, this trend forces farmers to upscale the size of their agricultural organization to mass-production facilities, in order to survive. Large organizations, and a long supply chain result in reduced process and origin transparency of crops. Other consequences of mass-production and transport are: (i) reduced food quality, (ii) lower product freshness due to a high travel distance, and (iii) worse product taste because of crops vulnerability characteristics.\r\nThis year, the Dutch organization PuurDichtbij (Dutch for Pure Close by) started their initiative, striving to let as many people as possible enjoy affordable, and responsibly produced food from regional origin. Using an online platform, PuurDichtbij enables customers to order locally produced food directly from farmers. This process is facilitated in collaboration with local communities like schools, enabling customers to pick-up their order in their own neighborhood at a pre-determined location. Because of a short supply chain directly from farmers to customers in the same region, cost benefits and lower customer product prices are obtained, while famers receive a fair price for their product. Increasing the simplicity of the distribution process, also leads to higher process transparency and high quality, healthy, fresh products. The only link in the supply chain is the distribution by a PuurDichtbij transport vehicle. PuurDichtbij facilitates the distribution, the online platform where supply and demand meet, and shows the product-farmer relation. As a result the farmer loses his anonymity.\r\nThe purpose of this research is threefold: (i) to organize the logistic processes of PuurDichtbij efficiently, (ii) to support logistic decision making for the distribution of foods on multiple hierarchical levels, (iii) and to increase insights in expansion of their initiative in the future. The overall objective of this research to accomplish this, is: “To design a logistic framework for the PuurDichtbij initiative”. This framework provides insight in the current logistic processes, comes up with tools how to optimize routing policies, and supports PuurDichtbij in the decision making process during the organizational expansion phase.\r\nWe make a very clear distinction in this research between the current start-up phase of PuurDichtbij facilitating only one region, and the growth and expansion phase where more regions are established. In this research we search scientific literature that supports this research, and obtain previous research results in these subjects. Lessons learned and insights from literature supports our statements made during analysis, research results and recommendations given.\r\nWe answer the following main research question in this research: “How to design a logistic framework to increase insight and to support decision making on multiple managerial levels for PuurDichtbij?”\r\nWe formulate short term research results and solutions, immediately applicable by PuurDichtbij. During the currently running startup phase of their organization, these research results are implemented at the pilot region and already used during logistic operations. Amongst these results are the following:\r\n A routing and scheduling application to enable efficient routing and scheduling of vehicle capacity and personnel\r\n Optimized materials handling processes around the truck, like the customer order pick-up process flow. Linked with this process is an increased insight in the relationship with customer waiting time and utilization.\r\n A quantitative supplier selection algorithm to evaluate a farmers’ added value for PuurDichtbij, based on multiple criteria. For the growth and expansion phase from a logistics perspective, recommendations for PuurDichtbij are given from this research in order to efficiently organize logistic processes. We assume that the organizational structure, financial resources, data storage, and ICT support are capable of handling these organizational decisions. A scalable organization is required in order to expand and realize sustainable growth. We come up with the following research recommendations leading to more efficient distribution, support decision making and increase insight in logistic processes. These recommendations must be executed by the management of PuurDichtbij when organizational growth and expansion to more regions commences in the coming year:\r\n Separate the crops collection and distribution process using a transshipment location\r\n Continuously review and optimize total supplier portfolio network\r\n Optimize weekly supplier visit frequency across regions\r\n Obtain a robust fleet management acquisition strategy\r\n Implement an accurate inventory control system for the reverse logistics of crates process\r\n Set a maximum customer arrival rate for each truck type during the customer order picking process at the pick-up location, to guarantee an optimal customer flow\r\nWe recommend further research, outside the scope of this report, on the implementation of a separate business to business supply channel. This enables PuurDichtbij to also facilitate hotels and restaurant to use locally grown foods from participating farmers. Research can be done on demand forecasting using historical data per region, like item type, seasonality’s and customer type. Obtaining accurate forecasts enables PuurDichtbij to predict future revenues, and supports capacity allocation decision making.\r\nMoreover, the separation of the ",

Why do people in the face of all warning and experience, con tinue to fall victims to plausible sharpers who make good livings by selling worthless stocks and bonds? An old speculator, writing in an eastern paper, gives the answer. He says it is the desire to \" get rich quick.\" He's right, too, though he should have added that all the suck ers do not live in big cities, but that many are to be found in towns the size of Rigby. The pathetic part of valuless spec ulation is that if somebody offered the small investor 10 per cent to 12 per cent for a cash loan he would be come suspicious and hold out on his money; but if a swindler comes along and gives him a smooth talk about an undeveloped oil well or gold mine, or a new auto which will travel 50 miles on a pint of gaso line, or a patent churn which will turn lard into butter, and assure him that within a year a few hun dred dollars, if invested at once, will return enough to make him rich, he will hand him the cash. No matter how hard the times, the fool crop never fails. For every one who gets rich quick ly, there are a thousand who get poor more quickly. Taking a chance Is all right if you can afford it, but about the only chance the average bluesky salesman sells is a chance on being found out before he gets out. If everybody would turn a deaf ear to all agents who offer unlisted and unknown securities for sale, selling enterprise would be directed to legi timate things and the country would prosper through the savings of the people. You can't beat the other fellow's game, and if he has some thing for sale cheap that would make you rich you ought to have brains enough to know that he would be buying all the stock for himself. very largely now that the fever of patriotism has waned. It will re quire courage and great Investment to make America Independent of Germany in the matter of dyes, and the government should do all it can to encourage rather than to hamper American enterprise. Whatever of monopoly the du Fonts may have in other lines is quite another story. In their effort to develop the American dye industry they should be praised and helped.

The ad says the business men of the town want a paper very badly. That may be true, but are they willing to dig down in their pocket and support it if thev get it? Are they willing to see that it gets the advertising to which it is entitled, and the backing and en couragement that counts for just as much as hard cash when the two are linked together. Are they willing to give the paper the very heartiest support they can muster, or do they think the paper can live on good wishes? The man who starts a paper in that Ohio town Is going to ask these questions. And if the an swer isn't right he is a very foolish man if he doesn't leave the town still wanting a paper. It is one thing to want a newspaper, but an other thing to want it bad enough to support it as it should be supported if it is going to be a success. We know, and we only wish every citi zen of this community knew it as well as we do. DEVELOPING THE DYE INDUSTRY The Senate Committee investigat ing alleged monopolies will not get much public sympathy in Its attack on the du Pont interests for their alleged control of the American dye industry. Whatever may be said in criticism of the enormous business holdings of the du Fonts, there can be no disposition on the part of the public to frown on their efforts to protect themselves in the develop ment of what we are bound to con sider as a legitimate infant Ameri can industry.

    "abstract": "The drayage of containers in the service area of an intermodal terminal can be modelled as a Full Truckload Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows (PDPTW). An intermodal transportation system comprises several means of transportation such as road transport, rail transport, seaborne or inland waterway transport. Road transport constitutes a relatively large share of intermodal transport costs. The attractiveness of intermodal transport can be increased by organizing the road segment in the intermodal transport chain more efficiently. In this study a full truckload is assumed to be a single container. A delivery activity to a consignee starts from the intermodal terminal with a full container and a pickup activity returns a container to the intermodal terminal for shipment by barge. The Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP) is an extension to the classical Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) where customers may both receive and send goods. Savelsbergh and Sol [2] give a general description of the PDP. A related article to our research is written by Imai et al. [1]. The authors present a heuristic based on Lagrangian relaxation for the drayage problem of intermodal container terminals, without taking time windows into account. Given the economic context, the following optimization problem can be formulated in terms of a vehicle routing problem with full container load. Assuming a homogeneous container type and size, find the optimal assignment of the own fleet to a set of delivery and pickup customer pairs, in order to minimize the total cost of servicing all customers, which includes a fixed vehicle cost and travel cost that is proportional to the distance travelled. All orders are assumed to be known in advance, so the problem is studied in a static environment. The intermodal terminal is open during a prespecified daily time window. All trucks should return to the terminal before the end of the depot window. Time windows at customer locations are assumed to be hard time windows. An insertion heuristic is developed, which consists of two phases to obtain a near-optimal solution. In a first phase pickups and deliveries are combined into pairs. These pairs of customers are inserted into routes in a second phase. Due to the existence of hard time windows, not every pickup customer and delivery customer can be combined into a feasible route. Inconsistencies in time windows are checked first. This check results in a list of feasible combinations. The waiting time between delivery i and pickup j can be limited to a maximum amount. A feasible pair of customers is discarded from the list if the minimum waiting time is larger than allowed. Second, interesting combinations of customers are selected. In forming pairs of pickups and deliveries, both spatial and temporal aspects are to be taken into account. The savings obtained from serving delivery i and pickup j should be as large as possible. The time window slack between customers i and j should be as small as possible. Weights are given to each objective in order to re- 1 flect its relative importance. This process is repeated until no further feasible combinations exist between the remaining pickup customers and delivery customers. The remaining customers are inserted into individual routes and form an imaginary pair with a dummy customer. An opportunity cost for not choosing the best combination for a delivery i or pickup j can also be taken into account. In a second phase routes are constructed consecutively. The first route is serviced by the vehicle with the lowest fixed cost. Vehicles are used in increasing order of their fixed costs. Pairs of customers are inserted into routes in increasing order of their latest start time. In case insertion into multiple existing routes is possible, the pair of customers is added to the existing route with the smallest waiting time between the previous pair. When no feasible insertions in existing routes are possible, the pair of customers is assigned to an unused vehicle to create a new route. The heuristic procedure is illustrated by means of several examples.",

Eastwood, Tobacco Culture: Farming Kentucky's Burley Belt Burley Tobacco, as I first knew it, was produced with an intensity of care and a refinement of skill that far exceeded that given to any food crop that I know about. It was a handmade crop; between plant bed and warehouse, every plant, every leaf, was looked at, touched, appraised, lifted, and carried many times. The experience of growing up in a community in which virtually everybody was passionately interested in the quality of the local product was, I now see, a rare privilege. ~Wendell Berry [End Page 82] Stripping Room They were working past dark at the waist-high bench that night; they were smoking and talking in that place of the barrel stove and of the chalk figures while outside and all around them, a season folded its leaves into the ground like wings.

Autumn was shifting and rustling, preparing for sleep, and the moon rose through the empty fields, flashing its wide search-beam through the roosts. They were standing at the end of a process, sorting by the light of jar lamps. In that dust-paneled room, deep in a dwindling year, they stripped the lugs and flyings from the stalks and let the bounty of the long days slip so easily through their hands.

A bat is crossing the water on the boat of its reflection; it is squeaking like a rusted hinge. Everything he knows there has been left ajar: the slope of the barn's battered roof, its wedge of shadow keeping time over the fescue, even the day around him, even the latticed gloom of the loading chute where once he waited for a thunderhead to pass, and felt time rumbling like a tedder over the fields, each moment flaring up like a match, consuming itself—all of them scattering like grasshoppers where the tractor churned the hay.

Hundreds of people fell from his hand. —Alejandro Morales, The Brick People Dust crosses the boundaries between the living and the dead, plant and animal matter, the earth and the sky, the inside and the outside, you and the world . . . what does it smuggle in each of these crossings? —Michael Marder, Dust I arrive at this essay through the story of my family. I spent much of my childhood visiting my tía Hermelinda who rented a unit tucked between a strip of apartment complexes on Greenwood Avenue, a heavily trafficked main street in southeast Montebello once considered the industrial heart of the Western United States. The sounds that would filter into her home reflected the busy, dusty surrounding landscape—a nearby railroad ran adjacent to Telegraph Road where trains regularly announced their way through a web of distribution warehouses, a Home Depot, and a large cluster of truck-driving businesses where we could see drivers being dropped off by loved ones, or sitting on the curb having lunch. My aunt’s home always felt busy, not just because of the nearby machinery but because it was also frequented by neighbors, friends, and family who visited to catch up or buy food she would vend on the weekends. As a ritual, every Sunday we would always gather on the back steps of her home after dinner and listen to my mother and aunt share stories of their lives in Mexico while children played on the [End Page 14] long narrow driveway that separated the apartments from the speeding engines nearby. My interactions in that space with my family were not that distant from the memories that Frank “Kiki” Baltazar shared of his time living in this same community in the mid-1900s. In his blog, he writes, “One memory that comes to life when I close my eyes is when we had retired for the night, I would be lying in bed in my dark bedroom listening to the big rigs as they roared up and down Telegraph Road. Will never forget those months we lived in ‘El Rancho.’”1 It wasn’t a surprise, then, that when my aunt received an eviction notice in 2016, a major whirlwind of events began. The sights and sounds of Telegraph Road would stir memory across the boundaries of space and time, generating a multilayered communal history. In that moment, I had not known who Kiki was, or that the community that my aunt was forced to leave behind had formerly been called Simons. As a way to process the displacement in my family, I turned to writing. It was that journey that led me to obsessively research the Indigenous history of that land, of the violent dispossession of the Tongva-Gabrielino people, of Mexican land grants that gave it the name of Rancho Laguna. I learned that it was later called Simons (after the Simons brothers) who owned Simons Brickyard No. 3, considered one of the largest brickmaking companies in the nation at its peak in the early 1900s. At the time, brick was seemingly destined to replace adobe and was considered the more “progressive” building material for the construction of a “modern Los Angeles.”2 In response to this high demand of building material, the Simons brothers recruited an overwhelmingly Mexican labor force and created a company town that housed the brickworkers and their families. The fundamental plan was to sustain operations nonstop with a labor force that would keep the company booming for a very long time. Incentives were given to families who had more children. The LA Times admiringly called it the “model industrial town,” but according to historian William F. Deverell, “Simons was different, an industrial village that put home right up against work. All beneath the authoritative gaze of a company and a patriarch with the same name, segregated by ethnicity and geography.”3 When Walter Simons grabbed “another handful of red earth,” as Morales wrote in The Brick People, the “hundreds of people that fell from...",

    "abstract": "Russell MeansWhy He Matters to You Bayard Johnson (bio) “Wake up, there’s a war goin’ on.” This was Russell Means’s way of waking you up when he called at zero-dark-thirty in the morning, starting his day. Russell always got up with the Morning Star. But on this Monday morning, October 22, Russell Means’s wife, Pearl, was on the phone. She was calling to tell us that Russell had joined the ancestors earlier that morning. He walked on with the Morning Star. A little over a year before, Russell and Pearl stopped by for dinner. His neck was swollen and puffy, swallowing and talking were painful. He’d just come from a doctor’s appointment. “On Monday,” he said as he sat down at the table, “they’re going to give me my ETA to the Spirit World.” When the doctor told Russell he had terminal cancer, Russell turned to look at Pearl to see how she was taking the news. They told him his best option was a radical tracheotomy. He would be confined to a wheelchair, unable to walk, talk, eat, or swallow. Life expectancy was two months to two years. “Sure, they’d like to cut out my tongue,” said Russell. “Forget it.” The Indian way is that everyone has a turn to talk, and everyone else listens politely. Russell taught me that early on. When everyone agrees, the argument, if there was one, is over. Many people wrote about Russell after he left. Some comments were insightful, some asinine, the rest in between. In some respects it was like hearing blind men trying to describe an elephant. Everyone talked about different aspects of Russell—things the commentator cared [End Page 34] about. Often they seemed to be describing entirely different people. Russell took on a special and unique meaning for every writer. Those who didn’t like his criticism of the Sandinistas accused him of being a self-promoting publicity hound. Those who admired Russell’s willingness to die for principles they agreed with described him as a prophet and holy man, a hero who led from the front, his generation’s Crazy Horse. Most interesting, in a way, were the critiques of Russell’s motives written by people who had never met him, weren’t well informed on the issues, but felt compelled to lend their insights anyway. It’s inevitable that people will talk about heroes, and form opinions about them, and then try to cram their opinion down your throat. Russell was personally offended by a big green sign near the start of Interstate 10 in Santa Monica: “Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway.” Russell was very public with his opinion that any society that could worship Christopher Columbus as a hero is seriously deranged. Slaver, murderer, pedophile, bad navigator—the list goes on. The sign on Interstate 10 is often splattered with red paint. Russell had a better idea: “We’re takin’ out that sign.” Someone had a pickup truck we could borrow, and we could rent a chain saw at Home Depot. The plan was to cut down the sign, throw it in the back of the pickup, drive it up to South Dakota, and post it on the driveway leading to his ranch, formerly the Indian agent’s house, in Porcupine, South Dakota. That way, the CC Transcon Highway would be about a quarter-mile long, and at the end of it, Russell Means would be waiting for you. It’s the end of the month, rent is due . . . pay up. Over forty years ago, on the 405 in LA, Russell Means was a fugitive, pulled over on the side of the freeway, jacklighted by a dozen cop spotlights, with ten guns trained on him, and a bullhorn telling him, “For the last time, raise your hands over your head!” Russell said to himself, “I’m not doing it.” What was going through his mind as he heard the “click-click-click” of cops cocking their revolvers? “Mother, I’m coming home.” All day Monday we waited for information about the memorial service. In Lakotah spirituality, the spirit of the departed is released on the fourth...",

    "abstract": "MARGARET AT WOOD'S MUCH CIRCULATED RESPONSE to Stephen Harper's massive and pointedly directed budget cuts to the arts just prior to the last election emphasizes the economic shortsightedness of Harper's move. While Atwood rightly notes that artists are ordinary people, that many ordinary people go to concerts and art galleries, buy CDS, read books, and perhaps even attend or perform opera, and that artists contribute to the economy to the tune of $46 billion, in my mind there is a deeper question to be asked. That question is: What is the relationship of the arts to the economy? If some of us believe that government ought to redirect private gains to fund the arts (that is, taxes on profits or income), we ought also to ask why we should allow our imaginations to support an economic system that privileges the greed of banks and other financial institutions against the interests of ordinary people. We tell ourselves a tale of economic progress and the rising value of property, and through deeper fictions about options, puts, futures, and derivatives, we make that progress happen--until the logic of the story collapses on itself, with dire material consequences. With all the shenanigans going on in Parliament to fix or not fix that particular fiction using taxpayers' dollars, how many of us ever stop to consider why we agree to imagine the economy as the centre of national life rather than see it as something that ought to serve the life of a national community? Should the arts be valued, in other words, just because they contribute $46 billion to the economy, or should we understand economic support for the arts as what one arena of public life should return to another in recognition of the extreme power that we, as citizens, through an extraordinary act of imagination give it: money equals not just time but objects, land, work, and ideas. This moment, when the material consequences of that act of imagination are being felt acutely, strikes me as a good one to reopen our agreement to it, or, at the very least, to re-open the form that agreement takes. It matters because our lives are enmeshed with the story of the economy. Thank goodness not all arts funding has been pulled--though with the knockout punch to TradeRoute and PromArts, much of that which allows Canadian artists to converse with artists and audiences internationally has. There are enough artists still around to ask about our relationships to the economy although it always boggles me why some of the most successful artists and writers I know live in such poverty, while the academics, civil servants, and corporate folk around me do not. What if we were to stop thinking about artists as the disposable excess of our society and begin to imagine them at its centre? How much different would our lives be if the economy served the arts instead of the other way around? At the very least, the spin that imagines Barnett Newman's Voice of Fire depriving Mary of her junior league hockey uniform or Tommy of his flute lesson has got to go. The painting may be boring, but I'd rather spend half a day on hold with Telus than listen to another facetious critique. Put Martin Gero's Young People Fucking, or just the name of the band Holy Fuck in place of Voice of Fire, and I'll throw myself in front of an Office Depot truck speeding down the 401. Seriously. Do people still spend entire Christmas dinners voluntarily having these conversations? The point is that using Voice of Fire or Young People Fucking as representative stand-ins for the arts in general ridiculously oversimplifies what artists do. It says a lot more about the speaker's anxieties about a) formalism and b) sex than it does about art. The choice of one or two pieces as usurpers of children's education disingenuously stupefies both the speaker and the arts. This was Atwood's critique. Typical attacks on government funding for the arts assume that ordinary people don't play or listen to music, make or watch movies, or read or write poems, short stories, and novels. …",

    "abstract": "ABSTRACTThe growing menace of noise pollution is one of the crucial environmental issues in modern era across the world. This is a silent killer of the physical as well as psychological health of human being. The existing findings in Indian context show that Kolkata is amongst the polluted city primarily because of high population base and growing surface transportation system. In the light of this, the present study addresses the main source of noise pollution viz. traffic noise pollution and its likely impact upon the occupationally exposed public auto drivers who spends than eight hours on few selected busy traffic sites of the city. The study uses the primary data for the period 2011 to 2013 which includes busiest road intersection as well as auto depots from different parts of the city. The finding reveals that the year 2013 is the noisiest year and this also reported the highest numbers of auditory disorders on auto-drivers heath. Apart from this, during this year highest numbers of irritation and low tolerance level cases have also been registered on auto-drivers heath. Amongst all the survey sites, Ultadanga site from northern parts, Howrah Bridge Approach site from Central parts and Behala 14 no. bus stand site from southern parts have been considered as highest noisy sites in the city where highest numbers of health disordered have also been registered throughout the entire study period.Keywords: Traffic noise pollution, human health, diseases.INTRODUCTION:The term pollution is the most significant environmental issues. Worldwide every civilized society suffers a lot from environmental pollution. Out of the several sources of noise pollution street traffic is one of the prevalent and damaging source of Vehicular traffic noise is one of those everyday pollutions that one comes across. These noises are not only annoying in nature but also have adverse impact on human health or well-being. Though this is ignored in everyday life but in reality this is killing many persons slowly. A growing body of research reveals, transport noise can cause several diseases like temporary and permanent hearing loss. Sleep disturbance, cardiovascular disease, elevated hormone levels, psychological problems may arise and even death is possible in some cases in the long run.Traffic is the dominating source of noise and is the major source of nuisance and annoyance (Skanberg and Ohrstrom, 2002). Existing studies in regard to the traffic noise reveals several hazardous effect of noise pollution. Sharp and Donovan (1979) says that more people are exposed to noise from motor vehicles than any other single source of noise. Bugliarello et al. (1976) says noise produced during acceleration can be as much as 20 dB greater than that produced at cruising speed. He further finds that noise from heavy trucks and buses are equivalent to that from 10 to 15 cars taken together. Study carried out in Merseyside in 2004 found 30 percent of people felt traffic noise had become worse over the previous five years (Merseyside Transport and Health Forum 2004). A study found a fifth of council tenants in the London Borough of Greenwich rated traffic noise as big a problem as crime, with those living on main roads the most concerned (Stewart 1998). Jamrah et al (2005) study on traffic noise in Amman shows the minimum and the maximum noise levels during night-time. The measured noise level exceeded the acceptable limit at most of the locations causing effect on the health. Den Boer and Schroten (2007) says, over 210 million people in Europe are exposed to traffic noise levels exceeding the threshold at which the World Health Organisation has found.The TERM 2008 report Transports at a crossroads by European Environment Agency (EEA) finds that 55 percent of those living in urban areas with than 250,000 inhabitants in the European Union's 27 member states (67 million people) endure daily road noise levels above the lower EU benchmark for excess exposure. …",

    "abstract": "When the house goes quiet, the still life of my life is: ball, tipped cup, underwear tucked inside of pants damp with pee. My little boy lies sleeping, his face partly lit by the hallway lamp. The oysters of his eyes flash, half-opened, in the dark. I imagine that he is dead. He is not dead; I know. But if he were, he might look something like this: rendered inanimate, mouth and palms open, back arched, as if he had fallen irretrievably through space.At night, I make a lunatic bargain with whatever force coordinates births and deaths. I watch for death in my children's faces while they sleep, and in exchange I expect (beg, plead, prostrate myself) to avoid their deaths in reality. If I can see death coming, the delusion goes, I might yank them out of its path in the nick of time.In a still life, objects—apple, chalice, chipped bowl—appear luminous. Light seems to ignite them from within, but they burn, each a setting sun. After I gave birth to my daughter, we took long walks through museums along New York's Fifth Avenue. I would pause in front of the handful of Dutch vanitas hanging at the MET while she nursed and blinked awake from the confines of her carrier. I had time to look at art then, to smell her puppy breath, to be alone with my thoughts during the brief intermissions of her demands.I missed other things, connected to a lost but inflated sense of freedom to have and to do whatever I wanted. The vanitas offered me some solace by portraying the delights of a day lived and gone to bed: the sucked oyster shells, the smoldering candle, the book opened and paused in the reading of it, each a ruin of not lasting. A skull sat at the center of so many of these paintings, its gaze a reminder that whatever I longed for would one day wind up in ruins anyway. This child and I, too, would wind up in ruins, which put into perspective my longing to be elsewhere, to do otherwise.Apart from breathing, from the involuntary beating of our hearts, desire is the primary human activity. Without a child, I reflexively would have carried on wanting more from my job, or my partner or, most persistently, my time. I would have carried on wanting answers to life's big questions or assurances that I was living the way I was meant to live. But motherhood sharpened my relationship to desire. My children became at once great obstacles to fulfilling my personal longings and, at the same time, opened in me an abscess of new desire, painful and consuming: Let me keep them. Let them live.Years before I agreed to have children, years before I believed I ever would, I was out for lunch with coworkers. A man my age, in our twenties then, had recently become engaged, and he spoke about their plans to adopt a dog.I could never get a dog, I blurted.Why?It would die before me.That's ridiculous, my colleague said. Then you'll never love anything.I thought: Isn't that better?When I was fifteen, I sat in the audience of a Merce Cunningham Company performance with my mother, aunt, and cousin Liz. My cousin Ericka, my aunt's elder daughter, had died in a bathtub that spring, strangled by her roommate, a man who killed himself after he killed her and left no real explanation in his note. My mother and I visited my aunt and Liz that summer, a few raw, nauseating months after Ericka's death.The first piece in the program was “Doubletoss,” and I remember being a little bored by it. The scores for Cunningham's work are typically unmelodic, lacking relationship to the movement, and this grated on me. I focused on Banu, Ericka's best friend from college, who recently had joined the company. Her movement under the spotlight—so dynamic, both fluid and sharp—was a stark contrast to the image I had in mind of Ericka's ashes buried underneath a crabapple tree on my aunt's farm, where surely it was dark all the time.Did you see that? my aunt asked in the bathroom line during intermission. All of the dancers grabbing at Banu?Yeah, Liz said. They were like spirits pulling her into the underworld or something. So intense.I remembered Banu baring her teeth, the ensemble drawing her back into their outstretched arms. A woman came over to greet my aunt, and they hugged.How have you been?My aunt began to cry. Did you know I lost my Ericka?Her friend had not known, and they stood together for a long time, embracing.Behind us in line, a mother and daughter pair had overheard. I watched as their eyes searched each other's faces, horrified. Or maybe terrified. One daughter, alive and waiting to pee. Another daughter who had died in some other bathroom. The difference between their fates was as slim as a dime.Many years later, I searched for Banu online, traveled by clicking back to that performance and read reviews of “Doubletoss,” no longer in the Cunningham repertoire. I learned that the two worlds of the dance onstage—the one of the living in their street clothes and the other of the dead in their black mesh—were once two separate dances that Cunningham interwove. He had choreographed “Doubletoss,” had made decisions about which dancers walked in the world of the living and which were pulled into the world of the dead, with tosses of a coin.The Stoic, Epictetus, suggests that we disentangle our perceptions of the people we love (My daughter! My son!) from who, or what, they really are (O mortal ones!), so that we can more easily bear their demise. We should think about our children the same way we think about a favorite cup, because if the cup shattered, he says, “you could cope.” If I remember that my beloveds can break, will necessarily break in time, perhaps I can bear their brokenness with some measure of peace. I hold up images in my mind of my son and my daughter, their round cheeks juxtaposed with the curve of my favorite ceramic mug, painted with blue bicycles and the word “Amsterdam.” I suspect I do this—this exercise in equivalence—to try to spare me their mortality, not least because the death of either of my children would also be the",

    "abstract": "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once: Proactively Engaging the Community During High-Profile Water Construction ProjectsAbstractBackground: KC Water is Kansas City, Missouri's Water Services Department, serving over 650,000 residents. KC Water contracted with Parson + Associates (P+A) to lead communications and business engagement for a major water, sewer, and storm sewer upgrades project - spanning nearly four miles along a heavily traveled corridor in the heart of Kansas City, MO (KCMO). This project caused daily disruptions to over 200 businesses, more than a dozen neighborhood groups, drivers, residents and the general public. P+A branded the project Upgrades on Main. The Upgrades on Main project replaced century-old infrastructure and paved the way for the first phase of construction-related activity for the KC Streetcar Main Street Extension. KC Water replaced approximately 23,227 linear feet of water mains and 17,532 linear feet of sewer mains, installed 67 new fire hydrants, 70 new manholes and new water services for 135 locations. This project took over two years to complete, with construction taking place on a highly-trafficked corridor. The P+A team proposed a very proactive approach, focusing on 'early and often' communications with businesses and residents along the corridor. Through a combination of weekly construction email blasts, door-to-door outreach, neighborhood and business meeting presentations, guided corridor tours, managing a project hotline, creating digital assets such as photography, videography, and graphics to show progress, and much more, P+A mitigated construction frustrations along the corridor by providing timely, accurate, and coordinated communication to stakeholders through the four-mile project corridor. Planning: Because this project began during a time of uncertainty with the rise of COVID-19, we made sure to consider how it could impact communications. In our plan, we included a note that said: 'Due to the evolving impacts of COVID-19, the outreach plan includes tactics to connect with people virtually online and through digital media. These alternative methods are recommended in light of the current social distancing and public health guidelines set forth by the governing authorities of the State of Missouri and City of Kansas City, Missouri. Depending on the circumstances, a mix of virtual and in-person meetings can be considered for future public engagement.' We determined three primary goals for this project as follows: Inform the public/stakeholders of construction impacts and educate them about the project process from beginning to end. Manage expectations and mitigate issues raised by the public/stakeholders. Provide a high level of customer service to stakeholders along the Main Street corridor. After the goals were set, our team developed a target audience. This audience was defined by not only stakeholders directly on the Main Street corridor, but also those within a three-block radius. Our team then created 11 primary strategies to meet our goals. Each strategy included an objective that detailed how we would get the work done. Below is the list of strategies: Strategy 1: Create and maintain stakeholder database Strategy 2: Create and manage a dedicated 'Upgrades on Main' webpage Strategy 3: Establish and Manage Project Contact Methods Strategy 4: Host up to two virtual public meetings Strategy 5: Weekly Construction Update email newsletter Strategy 6: Compile a master calendar of events to tap into grassroots-style 'pop-up' meetings Strategy 7: Use existing KC Water social media channels to engage public/stakeholders Strategy 8: Establish an online community engagement platform and virtual mapping tool Strategy 9: Utilize Alert KC text message system Strategy 10: Customer Service Training & Coordination Strategy 11: Earned Media Implementation: Before the project began, the P+A team developed key messages. These key messages guided us through the project and gave us a positive starting point with stakeholders. An initial postcard was mailed to over 1,135 stakeholders in and around the project corridor that included the key messages along with project contact information. After the groundbreaking, we began sending out weekly construction update emails every Friday, giving stakeholders an idea of what to expect to see on Main Street the following week. Within each weekly construction update, we featured different businesses along the corridor as part of our business engagement strategy. The P+A team also performed the following tasks throughout the two-year project to ensure the public was as informed as possible about construction in their area: 48-hour notice for any water shut offs via calls, emails and door hangers. Met on-site directly with stakeholders with contractors to coordinate phasing of work, delivery schedules, garbage truck schedules, etc. to limit the impact as much as possible. Created and sent detour maps emailed directly to impacted stakeholders that could be forwarded to customers/residents. Created 'Businesses Open During Construction' signage that was placed throughout the project corridor in order to support businesses during the construction period. Facilitated a 'bus tour' halfway through the project for city officials, business owners, and other key stakeholders to share the 'behind the scenes' aspects of the project and communicate the high-level of coordination taking place between the city, contractors, water & sewer work, and businesses on a day-to-day basis. Shared different aspects of the work, and what progress had been made. Captured drone footage to create photos and videos showing what progress had been made across the corridor. Managed a project hotline phone & email that was a direct line for the public to our project team. P+A maintained a list of all foreman working across the corridor so when an issue did pop up, we were able to offer a high-level of service and fix the issue quickly. Attended week",

    "abstract": "At each Venice Biennale, the visitors get to experience the encounter of independently curated national pavilions and the artistic director's thematic exhibition. The latter is always presented in the same two venues: the Arsenale, a tunnel-like space where in old times ropes for the marine were twisted, and in the central pavilion of the so-called Giardini. This park hosts the national pavilions of the European nations, who are part of the inaugural core group of 1895, whereas the other countries rent sections of the Arsenale and other venues in the city, palazzos or transformed factories for example (see Köhler 2020: 84 for the history of the biennale and distribution of pavilions).Cecilia Alemani was chosen artistic director of this 59th Biennale, which was scheduled to take place in 2021. However, due to the pandemic, the Biennale opened one year later, in 2022. According to Roberto Cicutto, the president of the Venice Biennale, Alemani's choice to focus on the relationship of human bodies to their environment, their fragility, could have to do with this biennial being entirely planned from video conferences and no physical studio visits (Margutti et al. 2022: 39). Alemani wanted to give space to processes of transformation, dissolve rigid distinctions of gender, and break up categories confining notions of human-animal-machine, as she wrote in the introduction of the catalogue (Margutti et al. 2022: 44–45). Of the more than 200 artists she invited, 180 “have never had their work in the International Art Exhibition until now”(Margutti et al. 2022: 44–45) and 80% were women. As a matter of fact, many artworks alluded to human anatomies, be it replicas, or imagined organs, some in action, palpitating with liquids moving around, others in between actions, as the video of a woman cleaning the organs of a rubber sex puppet between clients’ visits demonstrated.1 Five “historical capsules” interspersed in both venues, showed pioneer work of artists2 exploring different forms of “trans” and “post” that, according to Alemani, offered a “web of references” (Margutti et al. 2022: 46) that encouraged the present generation to continue exploring new territories and cross borders.3 The title Milk of Dreams was borrowed from a book by the surrealist artist-writer Leonora Carrington, who stood up for a world of magic and transformation and was sanctioned and marginalized (Margutti et al. 2022: 43).Paintings by Kudzanai-Violet Hwami (Biennale College Scholarship recipient) installed on black and white floor-to-ceiling wallpaper prints welcomed visitors in the first side room of the Giardini venue (Fig. 1). They are based, according to the Short Guide (Mugatti at al. 2022), on photos and sound recordings of funerals and weddings she took on a recent trip to Zimbabwe but also on images taken from the internet.4At the very far end of the Arsenale tunnels, Sandra Mujinga had suspended fragments of coarsely woven costumes at different heights with thin wires, a quartet of sculptures called Mókó, Libwé, Zómi, and Nkáma (Fig. 2). They seemed to dissolve, ripple apart, as loose ends indicated. The even, low-level, green light enhanced the sensation of “things falling apart” (to evoke Achebe 1958). Mujinga's sculptures reminded me of Egungun costumes, which I have seen in Benin during consultation rituals.Even further down, almost at the rear exit of the extended Arsenale grounds, the U.S.born artist and transgender activist Tourmaline showed a multiple-screen video installation called Mary of Ill Fame (2020–2021) a portrait of a Black woman in Seneca Village (now Central Park in New York City) around 1830, who was forced to be a sex worker, accused to have stolen a White man's wallet, unjustly incarcerated, yet succeeded in freeing herself and her companions by reconnecting to her African ancestors’ magical powers (Fig. 3). The continuity of prejudice and racial and (trans)gender discrimination over centuries came across through the intense contrasts of images and soundscapes Tourmaline had created between the ruling bourgeois lifestyle of the masters and the misery of the Black enslaved population.I had chance to participate in the opening ceremony of the Kenya Pavilion in a modified factory (Fig. 4). Speeches by Dr. Amina Mohamed, the minister of culture, the commissioner, were questioned in a spontaneous intervention by Simon Njami, who insisted that political support for art must be unconditional and full hearted. Almost forgotten, curator Jimmy Ogonga and the artists represented in the Pavilion were given space to speak at the end of the session. The very diverse paintings and sculptures by Dickens Otieno, Syowia Kyambi, Kaloki Nyamai, and Wanja Kimani harmonized and showed that they practiced the stipulation of their exhibition's title, Exercises in Conversation.South Africa and Ghana rented (as at the 2019 edition) sections of the Arsenale as the location for their national pavilions. Several countries signed twenty-year contracts with the Biennale for space in this former rope factory and marine depot, which cost, according to unofficial information from the team of the South African Pavilion, around €20 million for ten editions. While the South Africa exhibition was on the second floor of the renovated Sale d'Armi building that hosts about a dozen national presentations, Ghana's was situated on the ground floor at the far end of the rope-making halls (Fig. 5). Black Star—The Museum as Freedom was the title of Ghana's show, curated again by Nana Oforiatta Ayim, who invited three artists to explore processes of decolonization and pan-Africanism. Na Chainka Reindorf presented paintings of Black figures in abstract spaces framed by textile patterns, Afroscope an installation of 1,024 doodles of faces on 8 cm × 8 cm papers and NFTs,5 and Diego Arauja a sound installation. Instead of using elaborate architecture like David Adjaye did in 2019 with his mudwalls, Oseo Asare used the unlit space of the indust",

    "abstract": "The Beauties of this Earth Mark Powell (bio) In his first spring after the war, Walt Berger went home, home to see the old man, and home to rest. He had a bottle of Jim Beam between his thighs and his discharge papers in his seabag. He sipped the coffee and topped it off with Jim Beam, and by the time he hit i-40, he was thinking of Leigh Ann, but was still sober enough to miss her exit north of Sevierville. He knew the old man was waiting. Back home, he drove down Main Street, catching the first red light by the new Kawasaki dealership. atvs, motorcycles, jet-skis, three-wheelers. The place was usually populated by men in caps and jeans, guys in Dickies and bib overalls with long goatees flowering down their throats, heads shaved and bolts driven through their noses. Berger had seen one with a series of three or four silver hoops embedded in his eyebrow, looked like a grizzly catfish with a beard of five-pound test lines. The place was quiet this morning, however, and he watched a giant American flag unfold itself in the breeze, then collapse down onto the pole. Three blocks down, he passed the Otasco his granddaddy had managed for better than forty years. Town had changed in the last decade, he could see that. With the rich second-homers laying waste to the mountains came stores selling lawn sculptures and blown glass ornaments, solar lights to line walkways, paintings that looked like an infant had slung his peas and carrots against the wall. There was a store that sold nothing but flags, a thousand different flags bearings pineapples and watermelons and ut and etsu logos. The Otasco had closed right after Home Depot opened on the bypass. There was no diner left, but a place selling humus wraps. There were Mexican restaurants and three pizza joints, but nowhere besides Hardees to get a decent cup of coffee. A single feed and seed store down near the abandoned railroad tracks. The big fifty-pound bags stacked and plastic-wrapped on pallets. Dog food. Fish food. Sweet feed. He remembered climbing the loading dock as a boy, standing inside the high hangar-like expanse, going with the old man to buy feed or grass seed for whatever his granddaddy was working on at the time. His granddaddy had been a Marine, joining in January of ’42 when he was seventeen years old. By the time he was twenty he had made four amphibious assaults, suffered two Purple Hearts, and earned the Navy [End Page 56] Cross. His granny was dead now, and all that was left besides the old man was a cousin living in Charlotte, working for a bank and running for the board of the pta. His granddaddy, alone for years, drank too much and talked about the way they had died along the cliffs on Okinawa. Then he would pass out to dreams of Jesus Christ wading ashore at Guadalcanal, whisper in his sleep about Tarawa and Siapan, about dead SeaBees and the nights sleeping in the cool insect mud. Now and then, he would drag out a box of photographs, gruff children in Marine fatigues, the blush of a three-day beard on a skinny nineteen year old as he shouldered his rifle across on some faraway moonscape. The beagles bellowed and twisted around Berger’s feet when he stepped out of his truck at home. He stood in the living room and imagined his granddaddy waking from his dreams. Christ wading ashore through the early mist off Siapan. His granddaddy’s feet would be socked, and he would rise from the musty blankets of the couch to walk out onto the porch, testing the weather and his joints. It would be early, not yet daylight though moonlight might move cloud shadow across the open fields, the pasture land cropped as close as a shaved skull. Berger saw his granddaddy running one foot forward until his sock caught against the head of an eight-penny nail, half-dreaming. Christ coming ashore at Siapan. Guadalcanal. Tarawa. The old man in the rocker, the thread of...",

    "abstract": "Reviewed by: Los Illegals David Romn Los Illegals. Written by Michael John Garcés . Directed by Shishir Kurup . Cornerstone Theater Company. Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, California. 1406 2007. Los Illegals, the inaugural production of Cornerstone Theater's planned three-year cycle of plays based on the question of justice, is also the inaugural production of the Los Angeles–based theater's new artistic director, Michael John Garcés. Both of these factors signal a significant shift in the history of this multi-ethnic ensemble, which rightfully prides itself in its mission statement on \"making theater with and for people of many ages, cultures, and levels of theatrical experience, and building bridges between and within diverse communities in our home city of Los Angeles and nationwide.\" For its first twenty years, Cornerstone's artistic director was the visionary Bill Rauch, whose talents and contributions are documented in Staging America: Cornerstone and Community-Based Theater, Sonja Kuftinec's important study of Cornerstone's history. The arrival of Garcés provides Cornerstone the opportunity to build on the artistic legacy that Rauch and his co-founders established since their first productions during the late 1980s. The first move marking this change is the justice-play cycle, an ambitious and timely effort to interrogate the concept of justice in contemporary US culture. For this project, Cornerstone has commissioned five world-premiere productions, each exploring how justice functions in society. Following its standard process of outreach and collaboration, Cornerstone plans to work with communities that have been created through—or disrupted by—laws surrounding illegal immigration, reproductive rights, incarceration, and the environment. The series will culminate in a bridge play that will bring each of these particular issues and their collaborators together. However, unlike earlier projects where Cornerstone identifies specific communities and collaboratively stages the group's particular concerns, the justice cycle inverts this logic by identifying the issues first before seeking out the communities formed around them. Los Illegals, which tackles the contentious debates around immigration through the prism of day-laborers in Los Angeles, is loosely inspired by Lope de Vega's classic play of class revolt, Fuenteovejuna(1612), in which a Spanish village collectively stands up against tyrannical injustice and abuse. In Lope's play, the village members kill a military commander who has tormented the community. When the royal magistrate arrives to investigate the murder, the community refuses to identify the culprits even in the face of torture; instead, they claim it was \"Fuente Ovejuna,\" the name of their village, who is responsible for the death. Garcés's play updates the theme of collective political resistance through a unified voice in order to comment upon the social inequities, legal labyrinths, and dehumanizing conditions that undocumented workers and illegal immigrants face in Southern California. The play begins with scenes dramatizing two separate attempts at border-crossing. One young man full of energy and hope sets out to cross the southwestern desert from Mexico to the United States and join his brother, who is already living in Los Angeles; the second migration involves a young Guatemalan woman who is inhumanely stacked in an overcrowded refrigerated truck with innumerable others. These episodic solo vignettes, often no longer than a few minutes, accentuate the hardship of the border as they remind us of the lives behind the statistics. The play's main drama, however, takes place in the surrounds of Giant Hardware, a Home Depot–like business that attracts day-laborers searching for work. As the audience arrives, we are led into the fenced-in parking lot of the Pasadena Armory Center for the Arts, which will serve as the main stage for the production. Picnic tables have been set up throughout the space and the action unfolds among them. A cast of nearly thirty professional and amateur performers, many of whom are seated alongside [End Page 115]the audience, begins to dramatize the primary story. Tensions have arisen between the regulated day-laborers, who assemble daily at the sanctioned community center and are organized by the community advocates and business management, and the newly arrived immigrants, who for any number of reasons choose to assemble outside of Giant Hardware's...",

    "abstract": "The Beauties of this Earth Mark Powell (bio) In his first spring after the war, Walt Berger went home, home to see the old man, and home to rest. He had a bottle of Jim Beam between his thighs and his discharge papers in his seabag. He sipped the coffee and topped it off with Jim Beam, and by the time he hit i-40, he was thinking of Leigh Ann, but was still sober enough to miss her exit north of Sevierville. He knew the old man was waiting. Back home, he drove down Main Street, catching the first red light by the new Kawasaki dealership. atvs, motorcycles, jet-skis, three-wheelers. The place was usually populated by men in caps and jeans, guys in Dickies and bib overalls with long goatees flowering down their throats, heads shaved and bolts driven through their noses. Berger had seen one with a series of three or four silver hoops embedded in his eyebrow, looked like a grizzly catfish with a beard of five-pound test lines. The place was quiet this morning, however, and he watched a giant American flag unfold itself in the breeze, then collapse down onto the pole. Three blocks down, he passed the Otasco his granddaddy had managed for better than forty years. Town had changed in the last decade, he could see that. With the rich second-homers laying waste to the mountains came stores selling lawn sculptures and blown glass ornaments, solar lights to line walkways, paintings that looked like an infant had slung his peas and carrots against the wall. There was a store that sold nothing but flags, a thousand different flags bearings pineapples and watermelons and ut and etsu logos. The Otasco had closed right after Home Depot opened on the bypass. There was no diner left, but a place selling humus wraps. There were Mexican restaurants and three pizza joints, but nowhere besides Hardees to get a decent cup of coffee. A single feed and seed store down near the abandoned railroad tracks. The big fifty-pound bags stacked and plastic-wrapped on pallets. Dog food. Fish food. Sweet feed. He remembered climbing the loading dock as a boy, standing inside the high hangar-like expanse, going with the old man to buy feed or grass seed for whatever his granddaddy was working on at the time. [End Page 156] His granddaddy had been a Marine, joining in January of ’42 when he was seventeen years old. By the time he was twenty he had made four amphibious assaults, suffered two Purple Hearts, and earned the Navy Cross. His granny was dead now, and all that was left besides the old man was a cousin living in Charlotte, working for a bank and running for the board of the pta. His granddaddy, alone for years, drank too much and talked about the way they had died along the cliffs on Okinawa. Then he would pass out to dreams of Jesus Christ wading ashore at Guadalcanal, whisper in his sleep about Tarawa and Siapan, about dead SeaBees and the nights sleeping in the cool insect mud. Now and then, he would drag out a box of photographs, gruff children in Marine fatigues, the blush of a three-day beard on a skinny nineteen year old as he shouldered his rifle across on some faraway moonscape. The beagles bellowed and twisted around Berger’s feet when he stepped out of his truck at home. He stood in the living room and imagined his granddaddy waking from his dreams. Christ wading ashore through the early mist off Siapan. His granddaddy’s feet would be socked, and he would rise from the musty blankets of the couch to walk out onto the porch, testing the weather and his joints. It would be early, not yet daylight though moonlight might move cloud shadow across the open fields, the pasture land cropped as close as a shaved skull. Berger saw his granddaddy running one foot forward until his sock caught against the head of an eight-penny nail, half-dreaming. Christ coming ashore at Siapan. Guadalcanal. Tarawa.

    "abstract": "A substantial range of key challenges for freight and logistics systems stem largely from recent changes in demand patterns that is leading to lower levels of efficiency as well as difficulties for increasing sustainability. It is also becoming difficult to improve the resilience of logistics networks.The insatiable demand for goods by consumers has led to variable and dynamic consumption patterns that have forced logistics systems to be transformed from push based to pull based networks. Increasing levels of urbanisation has led to higher levels of consumption and increased traffic congestion.eCommerce has created the need for more distributed delivery systems due to growing demand for home deliveries. The last mile requires individual parcels and small orders of food to be delivered on demand with express deliveries becoming more common. This has substantially increased the distance travelled by delivery vehicles within urban areas.Reverse logistics systems now face increased pressure due to product returns from eCommerce as well as the need to facilitate the circular economy. New networks are required to facilitate reuse and recycling.Growing demand for new residences, offices, retail and industrial developments as well as infrastructure projects generate a large amount of construction activity that requires storage and transport of materials. The transient and intense nature of transport demand patterns from construction projects creates many efficiency and sustainability challenges (Thompson, et al., 2023).Changing demand patterns by consumers are leading to decreasing load factors for freight vehicles that is contributing to lower levels of efficiency for logistics networks (ITF, 2018). Key challenges relate to how to increase consolidation levels in vehicles as well as the utilisation of warehouses. This is difficult since most freight and logistics networks are operated by independent carriers and shippers.Inner urban residential and commercial development has led to depots and warehouses being relocated well away from traditional ports (logistics sprawl). Consequently, the middle mile, transport between ports and warehouses typically involves a large amount of crisscrossing movements of freight vehicles within urban areas.There is also much pressure from the combined effects of both massification and atomisation, where transport vehicles such as ships, trains and trucks are increasing in capacity but consumers are demanding smaller consignments largely individual parcels from eCommerce. This creates bottlenecks, due to demand surges and the need to reconsolidate loads at terminals. A high degree of coordination of the timing of transfers between transport modes to at terminals is necessary to reduce delays.There is also a lack of innovation in freight and logistics. Manual administrative processes and handling procedures are contributing to inefficiencies and inhibiting productivity.The resilience of freight networks is being threatened by the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events as well as growing international tension from conflicts and tariffs. Global logistics networks are being disrupted with delays and uncertainty becoming real issues for trade.Decarbonisation is a key challenge for freight and logistics. There is a real need to reduce vehicle emissions and consumption of fossil fuels. Total emissions from freight vehicles is the product of both the emissions produced per vehicle kilometre and the vehicle kilometres travelled. Emissions produced per vehicle kilometre largely depends on vehicle type, fuel type, engine emissions standards and operating conditions. Vehicle kilometres travelled depends on the nature of freight networks such as the location of terminals, warehouses & customers, demand for goods & vehicle load factors. Due to changing demand patterns and low levels of network efficiency, vehicle kilometres travelled by freight vehicles is growing, leading to increasing emissions. In addition to utilising alternative fuels for freight vehicles, it is necessary to implement initiatives to increase consolidation levels of freight vehicles to reduce the total distance travelled by freight vehicles.There are a number social problems that need to be addressed when planning and operating future freight systems. These include how to minimise crashes as well as health costs associated with vehicle emissions and noise. Ecommerce has put pressure on shippers and carriers to deliver goods to homes within narrow time windows. This combined with low pay rates and long shifts can increase safety risks for drivers and has led to a shortage of drivers in many countries.Both City Logistics and the Physical Internet (PI) provide useful frameworks for addressing the challenges described above. City logistics promotes a holistic approach to urban freight combining multi-stakeholder engagement with multi-criteria assessment (including triple bottom line). PI promotes open, shared and connected logistics systems (Montreuil, 2011;Crainic and Montreuil, 2016). The vision of PI is to create an integrated and seamless logistics network. Ongoing research is required for developing analytical tools for designing and evaluating emerging technologies and city logistics schemes to ensure that they can be successfully implemented.A range of City Logistics solutions, including parcel lockers, Autonomous Delivery Vehicles (ADVs), crowdshipping, consolidation and transfer hubs as well as High Performance Freight Vehicles (HPVs) have good potential for addressing sustainability and efficiency challenges.Parcel lockers provide convenient and flexible receival points for receivers that reduce delivery costs and distances travelled by carriers (Mohri et al., 2024). Models need to be developed for determining the optimal number of sites as well as their location and whether they are located within buildings or in public spaces. Parcel lockers can also be used for exchanging goods",

Papers and personal letters per taining to Idaho history over half a century were added this month to the Univei Idaho library col lections. They were the scrapbooks and correspondence of the late C. A. Bottolfsen, Arco publisher, and were given to the university by his widow and Gale Brammer, publisher of the Arco Advertiser. He was a former governor of the State of Idaho. Having known Bott through most of his years of newspapers and pub lic life, we feel that his contributions of letters etc., at this time are a val uable additions to the library, as no one took greater pride in Idaho than Bott and we are glad to see his wri tings preserved. h. a. t. Proof Positive A fanatic is a guy who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. h. a. t. The re- apportionment issue has fi nally come into its own and people are beginning to ask questions if counties can be reapportioned, then will county consolidation follow? The State of Idaho is under order from the United States Supreme Court to re- apportion. We have nev er been one to not respect authority, and especially the highest delibera tive body in the world but it seems that they have issued an or der and they are not an ELECTED group. This is also the time we might study more thoroughly the Constitu tion of the United States and see how far afield we have gone from its intentions and purposes. There are such political underton es in the Idaho question* that it be hooves every alert citizen to be on the prowl.

It's caled Opera Grand Opera, a place where a guy gets stabbed in the back and instead of bleeding, he sings. h. a. t. The Town Marshal Perhaps no one has given greater service to small growing towns, than the city or village marshal. We expect from time to time to recall some of our pioneers who left an impression with those who re member them. J. W. Coucher was such a man. During the years we were growing up in Rigby and long afterward, Mr. Coucher was the \" law\". It was during his long years as marshal that the curfew law was passed in Rigby and he enforced the new movement to keep children off the streets after 9 p. m. He ran the sprinkler, for the streets of Rigby were rutted and dus ty; he did both night and day duty, he was the city engineer at times, when the pump needed to be turned on and off during the night. He made \" rounds\" on foot, the City of Rigby had neither car or truck during his years as an officer. He walked miles each time he came on duty and he was often found helping dig and re pair water mains, he helped with fir es all beyond the call of his ordi nary duties as a marshal. Most of us remember Mr. Coucher with his always neat and clean ap pearance, blue and white striped ov eralls, with either a white or blue shirt In the winter time when thermometers were few, he would walk to the depot during rounds and kept track of the spiraling or falling temperatures . for those who inquir ed \" How cold is it, Joe?\" Many grown men and women in Rigby perhaps remember him for ad vising them when they committed some infractions of the law In re calling Mr. Coucher as a public of ficer, we feel that he left a very de finite niche in the community, for he did his work well, he kept a good home and was highly respected as a man of honor and integrity. With his fifth straight win at the National Cutter races here, Floyd Crystal tops the teams which gives every indication that the races set for Saturday. January 29, will find the five teams who have won four races looking for a win to tie the present record. Five drivers, DeMont Crystal, Russ Belly Peterson Resigned as Clerk Of District 251 Mrs. Betty Peterson, clerk of the board of School District 251 for the past seven years, tendered her res ignation, effective Monday, January 24 th.

The board of trustees has decided to ca1! an advisory election in con junction: witn the coming bond elec tion, over two proposed sides. The proposed sites are located four miles west of Rigby and one- quarter mile northwest of Rigby, the latter site of 20 acres has been offered to the district as a free site by Delberl Call. Mrs. Peterson, as clerk, has served under W. Harold Hawker Onan Me-cham, L. B. Kofoed and Virgil Pow ell.

Eight of the fifteen races were ex tremely close. The large crowd in the grandstand experienced an extra thrill when Bob Dunn's team slipped on the ice, hit ting Elvin Palmer's chariot, causing it to tip over. The Palmer team ran away, dragging both Palmer and the overturned chariot. When he realized he could not stop the racing horses, Palmer let go before any serious injuries resulted. Don Price and Al lan Clark, on horseback, intercepted the runaway team before any dam age was done.

    "abstract": "Watersheds throughout the arid western United States are experiencing rapid development.Urban, suburban, and resort developments are expanding onto previously irrigated agricultural lands, particularly in locations that also contain natural amenities such as mountains, rivers, and forests.This \"landscape in transition\" changes the way water is consumed and distributed and in some cases has led to tensions among water managers and users.The Henry's Fork Watershed (HFW) in southeast Idaho is experiencing rapid development and is an area where ground and surface water are highly linked.While there is a large body of research that details the dynamic relationships between newer and longer-term residents in amenity rich locations, few studies have focused on how water management is affected by development processes.This study aimed to fill this gap by asking three questions: 1) How do changes in distribution and use of water due to development affect canal companies, 2) How are canal companies responding to these changes, and 3) How are land use planning policies taking water and environmental values into consideration?In-depth qualitative interviews revealed that iv canal companies have been impacted differently by city and county land use planning policies, development trends, and newer residents' water management knowledge.Lack of communication among agricultural irrigators, development residents, and planning entities was a common theme.Examples of response to this landscape in transition included the creation of a development \"checklist\", watering schedules, and the construction of development irrigation infrastructure.Quantitative analyses strengthened this study by showing the quantity, type, and location of development sites on irrigated agricultural lands and characterized municipal water consumption trends.It was found that 5 % of all potentially irrigable acres have been subdivided since 1970, but that this land conversion can be as high as 14% at the county scale.This in-depth, regional study of water use issues generated an analytical framework for investigating the impacts of socioeconomic transformations and possibilities for better integrating land use planning and water management in other watersheds of the interior western United States.v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank my committee members, Rob, Mark, and Yvonne for allowing me this opportunity to work with you on the USDA project.Rob was patient from the beginning, willing to answer all my questions, describing water and life behind the \"Spud Curtain\" with humor and sincerity.Mark and Yvonne, our bi-monthly meetings were rich and insightful.You looked at issues from multiple angles and provided valuable guidance.You also allowed me the space to think and grow on my own, which I much appreciated.Second, I am indebted to the many people I spoke with in Henry's Fork Watershed.Without your willingness to share your knowledge, expertise, and personal insights, none of this research would have been possible.One of my favorite memories included asking a farmer over the phone if he could take 30 minutes out of his busy schedule to be interviewed-there was a long pause, lots of laugher, he considered it, and eventually agreed to meet in person, inviting me into his home (and work truck).I would also like to thank our partner organizations, Friends of the Teton River (especially Amy), Fremont-Madison Irrigation District, Henry's Fork Foundation, and Henry's Fork Watershed Council for setting up initial interviews and helping me work within your already established channels of trust.Third, I would like to extend a big hug and huge thanks to all of my friends for your continued love and support.From academia to personal life, you listened, gave advice, and helped me get back up when I needed a caring hand.There are far too many vi individuals to thank, so I will sum them up: the School Crew, the Farm Crew, and the Dance Crew.Favorite memories include much needed class decompression at Rita's or The Depot, swapping stories amidst the beans and sunshine at Redwood Roots Farm, and staking our claim, shaking it unabashedly on the dance floors of Arcata and Eureka.Lastly, I would like to say thank you to my family and friends, near and far, that let me share some of the most intimate moments along this journey toward a Thesis.Living in Humboldt County and Idaho let us play in forested hillsides, on sandy beaches, at snow covered mountains, and in scenic national parks.Each of you and our experiences are special to me-and I wholeheartedly thank you, for the hikes, drives, talks, and all the encouraging words along the way.",

Our mother had bought the mirror years ago at our old church's Annual Money-ForMissionaries Garage Sale, and I'd been making a careful point of avoiding it since turning fourteen and moving up two dress sizes almost overnight. The matching gold sconces were still hanging there, but looked ridiculous and uneven with so much bare space between them. My older sister, always more observant than I, also noticed immediately the four missing knickknacks, the missing embroidered couch pillow, and what looked Uke about ten missing books—judging from the dark gaps in the homemade bookcases that fined one waU of our Uving room and held mostly bibUcal reference books, a set of encyclopedias, and a few old hymnals. My younger sister, the towheaded baby ofthe family after making a quick dash down the hall and back, yeUed out with true eleven-year-old terror what my older sister and I should have at least suspected: \"Mom's gone!\" I Uke to think my mother's flight that day was spontaneous. I Uke to think she hadn't been trying to decide for weeks or possibly months which knickknacks she would take, which books. I like to think the note she left for my father on his desk was written in a hurry, not labored over in the bathroom during sleepless nights while he snored softly in their double bed. I Uke to think she grabbed handfuls of clothes out of her drawers and closet and 144 Heather Brittain Bergstrom145 shoved them quickly into garbage bags. I like to think she snagged the goldtrimmed mirror and pfllow randomly on her way out the door. I Uke to think she didn't have time to sort through the picture albums and that's why she didn't take any with her. As I did often those first weeks after my mother left, especiaUy during long Sunday afternoons between services or nights I couldn't sleep, I stfll like to imagine her last day as my father's wife. She went to work at The Donut Depot at five in the morning as she had been doing for almost a year—since the preacher at our new, more fundamental Baptist church decided she should quit teaching kindergarten at the unaccredited school my sisters and I attended in the church's basement and go to work where she could earn enough money to cover our tuition and help our dad with rent and groceries (and tithing). She wore one ofthe long double-knit skirts she'd sewn for her newjob, modestly refusing to wear the short cotton ones the other waitresses wore. I imagine she blushed or smiled that day when the truck driver, Stan, came in for breakfast around six-thirty and told her she was beautiful and he wanted to take her on the road with him, buy her a pair oftight-fittingjeans. As my mother probably did the first few times Stan told her this, I imagine she cried that November morning in the employee restroom, praying toJesus he'd eat his poached eggs quickly and leave. After about five or ten minutes my mother walked back out of the employee bathroom. She heard her boss yell, \"get a move on it, Margaret.\" She saw the empty booth where Stan had been sitting, watching her with affection or amusement (I stfll can't decide which) as she juggled hot plates and refilled coffee cups, the hem ofher skirt brushing the dirty floor whenever she leaned forward. I imagine she stared at herself in the long mirror above the row of cracked booths she'd have to scrub with bleach water before going home to fold laundry, read the Bible, and wait for her husband and three daughters.

    "abstract": "Not that long ago, buying something from a mail-order catalog or an early online storefront was an exercise in pure patience. You submitted your order, crossed your fingers, and waited out the standard disclaimer: “Please allow four to six weeks for delivery.” During those weeks, your item existed in a logistical black hole. You had no way to check its location, no estimated delivery date, and no recourse other than calling a customer service helpline if the parcel simply never arrived. Today, the landscape looks radically different. The moment an order confirmation hits your inbox, you expect instant, end-to-end visibility. We pull out our phones, check high-precision delivery maps, and receive ping notifications the exact second a box lands on our front porch. The transition from blind faith to minute-by-minute visibility is one of the most remarkable logistical and technological achievements of the digital age. Here is a look at how package tracking technology evolved from humble paper logs to the sophisticated, AI-driven global networks we rely on today. The Pre-Digital Era: Paper Waybills and Blind Transit Before microchips and digital networks, freight and postal services operated entirely on paper. Packages traveled alongside physical documents called waybills or cargo manifests. Dispatchers and dockworkers manually recorded item numbers, origins, and destinations on paper ledger sheets. If a merchant or customer wanted to locate a shipment, logistics clerks had to trace the paper trail by calling intermediate distribution hubs along the transit route via telephone or teletype. If a waybill went missing or got damaged by weather, the cargo effectively vanished into the system until someone physically discovered it at a sorting terminal. True shipment tracking in transit simply did not exist for everyday consumers. The Barcode Revolution (1970s–1980s) The first major leap toward modern tracking occurred in the late 1970s and early 1980s, spearheaded by the adoption of linear barcodes and computerized data networks. Industry pioneers realized that hand-recording serial numbers created bottlenecks and human error. During this era, logistics firms introduced optical barcode scanners and centralized tracking mainframes. When a parcel was sorted at an air hub or regional depot, a worker scanned its barcode using a handheld device or stationary conveyor scanner. This scan recorded a timestamp and a facility code, which was uploaded in batches to a central database. For the first time, logistics managers could review the history of where an item had been scanned. While this data was primarily used internally by operations teams to manage route capacity, it laid the foundational architecture for automated parcel tracking. The Web 1.0 Era: Bringing Tracking to the Consumer In the mid-1990s, the rise of the commercial World Wide Web changed consumer expectations forever. Instead of calling a 1-800 number to speak with a dispatcher, shippers began exploring ways to make scan data publicly accessible. In late 1994, FedEx launched the first website feature that allowed customers to enter a tracking code into an online form and see scan events on their own screens. UPS, DHL, and national postal operators quickly followed suit. Suddenly, entering a sequence of digits to track your package became a routine part of buying goods remotely. These early systems relied on batch-uploaded updates. Scanners synced with central servers every few hours via wired docks or dial-up modems. While not instantaneous, it gave buyers peace of mind and significantly reduced inbound support calls for retailers. Cellular Telematics, GPS, and Dynamic Scanning (2000s–2010s) As cellular networks transitioned from 2G to 3G and 4G, and GPS chips became small and affordable, logistics visibility shifted from stationary scans to dynamic, moving data streams. Mobile Computer Scanners Delivery drivers were equipped with ruggedized cellular terminals. Instead of saving scan data for the end-of-day dock return, these devices transmitted scan events in real time over cellular networks. The moment a courier scanned a parcel at your doorstep, the server updated. Fleet Telematics and Active GPS Freight companies began outfitting delivery vans, semi-trucks, and shipping containers with GPS telematics units. Dispatchers could see the precise geographical coordinates, speed, and heading of every vehicle in their fleet. This granular data enabled modern delivery tracking features, such as live route maps and narrow time-window estimates (“Your driver is 5 stops away”). The Cross-Border Boom and Universal Aggregators As global e-commerce expanded over the last decade, supply chains grew increasingly complex. A single online purchase might now be picked up by a local courier in Asia, flown internationally by a freight forwarder, cleared through customs, handed over to a national postal system, and ultimately delivered by a regional gig-economy driver. This multi-leg routing created a serious visibility problem: each carrier operated within its own proprietary software silo, forcing customers to juggle multiple tracking numbers across different languages and foreign websites. Relying on a single carrier tracking page often resulted in dead ends once a box crossed an international border. To solve this fragmentation, modern universal platforms emerged. Multi-carrier services like TrackPkgs aggregate tracking updates across more than 1,500 postal and courier networks worldwide. By automatically identifying the courier and stitching together tracking events from every leg of transit into a single feed, these tools ensure buyers and merchants maintain clear visibility regardless of how many handoffs occur along the journey.

    "abstract": "If we chose RV living, we would lose less money than if I got a temporary job somewhere and stayed in the big house. In April, airline passenger loads dropped to 5 percent of what they were the year prior. You can’t run any business that way, so the airlines started canceling flights and parking planes. I am on the junior side of the seniority list, so my wife and I knew we had to set ourselves up financially to ride out what was looking to be a long furlough. We had a big house in Texas, 3,900 square feet with a pool in the backyard and a huge three-car garage. That garage could fit everything, even the jet ski we won on Let’s Make a Deal, but that’s another story. We prepared for the worst and started kicking around some ideas. One option was to stay in the house we were in while I got a temporary job somewhere, like Lowe’s or Home Depot. Pilots don’t have appreciable skills that can easily translate into another field, so an entry-level job was most likely. Another option was that we could sell the house and buy a smaller house to reduce the mortgage payment a bit. The third option was to downsize even further, into an RV. And I’m like, all right, well, we’re going to lose a lot of cash one way or another. In late April and early May, we were running the numbers, and it was clear that if we chose RV living, we would lose less money than if I got a temporary job somewhere and stayed in the big house. And that was RV living with no job, like no income at all. I was thinking, I will have no other time in my life where I will be home with my kids for more than a week or two at a time. With the airline, I’m usually gone half the month. And looking at the ages of our kids—three, five, and seven—that was really important to me. We were a little familiar with living in an RV because we’d rented an RV in February and had absolutely loved it. We spent ten days visiting national and state parks in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. It was a lot of fun. We’d actually spent a few years thinking and dreaming about that trip before we did it. We had done our research and felt that RVing could be something we’d really enjoy. We take a lot of trips as an airline family and have a great time trying out new adventures, so the RV life seemed like a good fit. And that trip was just so much fun that it put something in our minds and our hearts like, We could live in an RV. When May rolled around, we hadn’t made a decision yet, but we knew we were tired of being cooped up in our house. We had to leave. So we went to visit some of our friends in Florida. When we mentioned the whole RV thing, they were like, “Y’all are crazy. That sounds fun for a hot sec, but you’re not going to like it long-term. You’re going to get sick of being in such a small place with your kids and all that.” And we’re like, “No, no, no.” Near the end of May, we went to visit some friends of ours from Instagram. We hadn’t met them in person yet, but they RV full-time and we just wanted to go and ask them questions, hang out, see their RV. We asked them a bajillion questions about RV life, and they gave us a lot of good advice. The best advice they gave us was just do it, just to go for it. And, you know, the worst thing that can happen is that it doesn’t work out and you just go back to your old life. A week later, on June 1, we bought a forty-three-foot fifth-wheel toy hauler. On June 3, we listed our house. Actually, the house sold the day before it was technically listed, for asking price, even though it was at the high end of what all the realtors were saying. Now I wish I had gone higher, of course, but it’s also nice to have gotten rid of it and be done with it. It’s now May 2021 and we’ve traveled about 10,000 miles all over the United States. I’m present here with my family, taking adventures. We don’t regret selling the house and moving into a fifth wheel. You know, traveling around and doing what we’re doing, we don’t regret it at all, and we have no future date set for when we’re going to stop or go part-time with it or anything like that. We’re about to enter into a different season, with going back to work. In March, they announced they were bringing back all the pilots as soon as October. In June, I will be going back to training. We’ll be traveling in our RV, staying at campgrounds. When Chris has a flight, I’ll drop him off in our truck, he’ll go and do his trip, and then I’ll go pick him back up. When his trip is done, we can go explore. Living in the RV has created this life of adventure, and we love it. It’s like the thing where life gives you lemons. We got lemons and then we turned them into something cool and crazy and awesome.",

You place an order online, receive a confirmation email a few hours later, and immediately click the link that says “Track Your Order.” Over the next three days, you watch as a digital timeline progresses from “Label Created” to “Arrived at Facility,” “Out for Delivery,” and finally, “Delivered.” For the average consumer, package tracking feels like magic. You click a button to track my package, and within milliseconds, a server tells you that your package is currently riding inside a brown truck three miles from your house. But beneath that simple progress bar lies one of the most complex, highly integrated data ecosystems in modern commerce. Understanding how carrier tracking systems function behind the scenes not only demystifies the delivery process, but it also explains why tracking hiccups happen, why packages sometimes seem “stuck,” and how modern logistics networks handle billions of parcels every single year. The Physical Layer: How Packages Generate Data Before any software or web interface can show you where a box is, a physical interaction must occur. Real-time delivery tracking relies on physical checkpoints distributed across thousands of miles. 1. Barcodes, 2D Matrix Codes, and RFID Every single shipping label is essentially a data passport. When a merchant prints a shipping label, it contains human-readable text alongside machine-readable symbology, most commonly standard 1D barcodes (like Code 128) or 2D matrix codes. These codes store essential routing keys, such as the carrier tracking number, service level (e.g., Ground, Priority, Next Day Air), destination postal code, and routing bin identifiers. Some high-end supply chains and air freight networks also embed passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags inside labels. Unlike traditional barcodes that require line-of-sight laser scanning, RFID tags can be read automatically as packages pass through overhead antenna arrays at high speeds. 2. High-Speed Optical Sortation Tunnels Once a package leaves the merchant and arrives at a carrier sorting hub, human handling drops dramatically. Most major carriers operate multi-tiered automated sortation facilities. Inside these hubs, packages travel along miles of high-speed conveyor belts passing through optical scan tunnels. These tunnels house multi-angle camera systems capable of reading barcodes on any side of a moving box at speeds exceeding 600 feet per minute. Each successful scan records an event: timestamp, facility ID, conveyor lane, and destination sort bin. This automated scan is what generates the familiar “Arrived at Sort Facility” update. 3. Handheld Telematics and In-Vehicle Scanners The last-mile segment relies heavily on portable hardware. Delivery drivers carry ruggedized handheld computers (such as Honeywell or Zebra enterprise devices) equipped with cellular modems, GPS receivers, and barcode imagers. When a driver scans your package on your doorstep, the device logs the barcode, records the exact GPS coordinates, captures a timestamp, and transmits that payload via 4G/5G directly into the carrier’s cloud infrastructure. The Digital Layer: How Data Moves from Conveyor to Screen Capturing a barcode scan at a sorting hub in Memphis or Leipzig is only half the battle. That data must be processed, normalized, and distributed across global networks so customers and merchants can monitor shipment tracking in real time. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) vs. Modern REST APIs For decades, logistics data moved almost exclusively via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)—a standardized legacy messaging format. Typical EDI messages include: EDI 214: Transportation Carrier Shipment Status Message (delivers status events like pickup, transit, delivery). EDI 211: Motor Carrier Bill of Lading. EDI 240: Motor Carrier Package Status. While EDI remains deeply entrenched in freight and enterprise shipping, it is inherently batch-oriented, meaning updates are often transmitted in periodic intervals (every 15 to 60 minutes) rather than instantaneously. Modern logistics platforms and parcel tracking networks have shifted toward lightweight, event-driven REST APIs and Webhooks. When an optical scanner registers a barcode, a cloud webhook can trigger an immediate JSON payload push to customer-facing platforms, providing near-instant visibility. Decoding Common Tracking Milestones To better understand carrier updates, it helps to understand what each standard status actually means inside the warehouse: Shipping Label Created / Electronic Info Received: The merchant printed the label and registered the tracking number electronically with the carrier. The package has not necessarily been handed over to the courier yet; it may still be sitting on the merchant’s packing bench. Picked Up / In Possession: The carrier driver has physically scanned the package onto their pickup truck, or the merchant dropped the package off at a retail depot. In Transit / Processed Through Hub: The parcel has entered the carrier’s primary distribution network. It is moving between regional distribution hubs via line-haul tractor-trailers, rail, or air cargo networks. Out for Delivery: The package has arrived at your local neighborhood delivery station, been sorted onto a specific driver’s route manifest, and loaded into the delivery van. Delivery Exception: An unexpected event has delayed the shipment. Common causes include severe weather, incorrect street numbers, gated property access codes, or animal interference. The Complexity of Multi-Carrier and Hybrid Deliveries One of the biggest pain points in modern package tracking occurs during hybrid or cross-border shipping. In hybrid logistics models (such as UPS SurePost, FedEx Ground Economy, or cross-border postal transfers), the initial transit is handled by a private freight carrier, while the final-mile doorstep delivery is handed off to a national postal operator like the USPS or Royal Mail.

The eighteen- months- old child of Mrs. Harry Wolf of Chicago is dead, following an operation which disclosed conditions that many surgeons had de clared to be impossible, says a Goshen ( Ind.) dispatch to the Indianapolis Star. While visiting her parents in Syra cuse, Kosciusko county, last summer. Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink hydrant water. Within a short time the infant became sickly and lost flesh. Treatment for indigestion was given, but it did not reach the seat of the trouble. Then an X- ray examination disclosed a black spot on the stomach, and an operation resulted in a frog weighing more than half a pound be ing taken from the infant. Doctors who operated said they be lieved that when the child drank hy drant water in Syracuse a tadpole was taken Into the stomach and that the frog developed and lived on milk, which was given the patient in large quantities. Following the operation the child improved rapidly and com plete recovery was practically assured, when pneumonia developed, causing death. One Danger. Optimist The. world owes me & living.

    "abstract": "As of the morning of January 16, 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment began to be enforced throughout the United States. It prohibited the transportation, sale, and manufacturing of intoxicating liquors (defined by the Volstead Act as any beverage with an alcohol content of 0.5 percent or more). This political move had historical roots in the nineteenth-century temperance movements, which aimed at improving the US population's ethical values by removing all social vice (Sinclair 1962; Rorabaugh 1979; Kobler 1993; Pegram 1998). During the first decades of the twentieth century, Republican members of Congress proposed a series of “dry” bills, despite opposition from Democrats and important labor union leaders who declared the laws unenforceable and bordering on unconstitutional.1With the passage of the National Prohibition Act, also called the Volstead Act, in October 1919, some one hundred thousand workers had lost their jobs in New York City, including glassmakers, carpenters, plumbers, drivers, workmen, bartenders, and waiters (New York Times1919, 3). The unemployment wave spread over the entire country to California, where it adversely affected immigrants from Northern Italy who had contributed to the economy by setting up several wine companies in the San Francisco area dating from the middle of the nineteenth century (Cinotto 2012; Pinna 2018, 23–46). In New York City, Prohibition was not just an economic issue but also a social and cultural one; alcoholism-related problems wreaked havoc among the city's many urban ethnic communities, although the degrees of severity varied. If the “thirsty Germans and Scotch-Irish” (Alsworth Ross 1914, 442) immigrants used to drink whiskey and display widespread drunkenness, the same did not apply to either the Italian or the Jewish communities, steeped as they were in wine traditions, with Italians enjoying moderate and daily wine consumption and both groups making use of the fruit of the vine for religious purposes (Woolston 1909, 274; Anbinder 2002, 232; Okrent 2010, 109; Davis 2012, 155).The passing of Prohibition caused an increase in the number of places where liquor could be obtained. According to the New York police commissioner, Grover A. Whalen, if during the early 1920s there were about sixteen thousand saloons or nightclubs, by 1929 the city's drinking places numbered thirty-two thousand (New York Times1929a, 1), since alcohol could be found in open saloons, restaurants, night clubs, bars behind a peephole, dancing academies, drugstores, delicatessens, cigar stores, confectioneries, soda fountains, behind partitions of shoeshine parlours, back rooms of barbershops . . . in express offices, in motorcycle delivery agencies, paint stores, malt shops, cider stubs, fruit stands, vegetable markets, taxi drivers, groceries, smoke shops, athletic clubs, grill rooms, taverns, chophouses, importing firms, tearooms, moving-van companies, spaghetti houses, boarding-houses, Republican clubs, Democratic clubs, laundries, social clubs, newspapermen associations. (Asbury 2018, 211)As it happened, saloons, bars, and nightclubs played an important role in the Democratic, Irish-controlled Tammany Hall's political machine. These were meeting places for party functionaries, favor-seekers, and rank-and-file workers, and sometimes Tammany-connected ethnic gangs used them to coerce the Irish, Italian, and Jewish votes necessary to win the local elections (Kibbe Turner 1909, 117–133; Asbury 2008, 82–86; Golway 2015, 147–148). The owner of the Clover Leaf Inn, Abraham Rabinowitz, after having been arrested for possession of whiskey in June 1920, was forced to pay police a monthly bribe of $150 until, burdened by his debts, he decided to sell his nightclub to a “businessman . . . connected with the Police Dept.” (“Police Department” 1920, 17), Pasquale Cuoco (alias Patsy Griffo), a gambler close to the political circles of Tammany Hall.When New York City became “dry,” several local gangs, some of them Italian American, got the chance to take charge of the new illegal alcohol market through moonshining with homemade stills or smuggling liquor from abroad. Unfortunately, both moonshining and smuggling negatively impacted New Yorkers’ sense of safety, due to an increase in the number of victims of gang-related crimes and of poisoning by wood alcohol, which was often sold by bootleggers as ethanol (or grain alcohol) (Wilson and Pickett 1923, 77; Lynch 1932, 26). This article examines the history of New York City's Italian community as it relates to Prohibition, principally the effects on that community of its opposition to the dry laws. Italian American cultural attitudes toward alcohol consumption informed their opposition to Prohibition and help contextualize their lack of concern about the crime of bootlegging as well as their willingness to be involved in it. Italian American opposition to Prohibition benefitted from a local New York City political class that was ambivalent about the law and its enforcement (Lupo 2008, 50). Through the consultation of archival sources at the New York Public Library, the National Archives at New York City, the New York City Municipal Archives, as well as the reading of newspapers such as the New York Times, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Il Progresso Italo-Americano, a picture of widespread impunity emerges that law enforcement agencies could not control. Primary sources seem to confirm an urban scenario openly against Prohibition, a situation made more frustrating by the fact that the city was awash in non-Prohibition-related crime, such as an increasing number of robberies and larcenies (Annual Report of the Police Department of the City of New York 1920, 338–341; 1930, 196–199). For Italian Americans in who were not New York and the of and in to an increase in and to the Prohibition law was not the wave in the nineteenth century, Italian immigrants from all of the country with them to the US the and cultural of The and the use of wine w",

    "abstract": "This Special Issue is a collection of selected papers originating from the 2019 UK Energy Storage Conference (UKES) taken place on the 3rd–5th September 2019 in the Frederick Douglass Building at Newcastle Helix, Newcastle University and supported by the Supergen Energy Storage Network+, the Supergen Energy Networks Hub, the EPSRC National Centre for Energy Systems Integration, the Energy Storage Research Network (ESRN), and the STFC Network in Battery Science and Technology. The papers have been selected based on their quality and relevance to the areas covered in this journal, and include contributions from the Supergen Energy Storage Network + Early Career Researcher community. UKES is a bi-annual international conference, bringing together researchers from academia, industry, and policymakers across the whole field of energy storage and relevant themes, offering a unique opportunity for dissemination and collaboration through presentations, expert talks, and poster sessions to inspire future research. All papers in this Special Issue have been expanded and further developed from their original form to meet the criteria and high standards for inclusion in this journal. In the last few years, the UKES conference has seen an increased number of papers that discuss Energy Storage in the context of grid applications. This is mainly due to the fact that energy storage, in its many forms, sizes, and locations, is seen by a wide range of stakeholders having a key role in future energy networks, by providing flexibility, enhancing affordability, security, and resilience against supply uncertainties, and addressing challenges related to climate change. Submitted papers evidence that over a small period of time, significant progress has been made in the research and development of models, tools, methods, and approaches that help to promote the role of storage in future networks; but also reveal that there are still significant challenges across a wide number of research areas that necessitate interactions between interplaying disciplines. More particularly and in this Special Issue, we have gathered a selection of papers of the highest quality including academic and industrial contributions, in areas of technological breakthroughs in energy storage, network integration challenges, and management and control. These encompass a number of disciplines, from electrochemistry to power systems and from data sciences to economics. Technological breakthroughs in Energy Storage at a component level can accelerate adoption through more cost-effective and higher performing solutions. In this section, papers address issues of State of Charge (SoC) and lifetime calculation. The analyses include both thermal and electrochemical storage systems, and establish connections with real-world smart grid applications. Papers [1-3] of this Special Issue are in this category. Paper [1] by Daniel Morales et al., introduces a model-based observer for the calculation of the SoC of water-based Thermal Energy Storage system for district heating and cooling systems (DHCS) that acts as a buffer between supply and demand schedules. A dynamic model of a one-dimensional stratified water tank is adopted to develop the observer. Its effectiveness is assessed through ‘model-in-the-loop’ co-simulations. Simulation results considering three different system configurations demonstrate that the model-based observer accurately estimates the temperature distribution within the tank, leading to an effective SoC computation and control—even in the case of sensor failure or upon limited sensor availability. Paper [2] by M. Javadipour, et al., provides a monitoring solution that can be used in the ageing estimation of EV batteries. The proposed model analyses the current density in electrode and electrolyte of an EV lithium-ion cell using a simulation-assisted method that leads to improvement in SoH estimation accuracy. The multi-physics model of the cell is developed in COMSOL modelling software and the real-time data fusion process is implemented on dSPACE Microlabbox real-time simulator. Paper [3] by El-Dalahmeh, et al., proposes a new and interesting method on estimating the Remaining Useful Life of Lithium-Ion Batteries based on a Smooth Particle Filter. This method appears to be more effective than traditional methods like Particle Filter Unscented Particle Filter. Comparison of various methods are performed based on datasets from the Prognostics Centre of Excellence NASA using non-linear characteristics degradation properties. Energy storage systems (ESSs) are among the promising technology developments that can facilitate did rapid growth in the integration of renewable energy resources and support the global efforts towards a decarbonised economy. With the integration of the ESSs the operators in different energy systems are able to enhance the efficiency of the operation and improve the security of supply. There are a number of challenging directions regarding the integration of ESSs that need to be more investigated, which are listed as follows. Storage as a Service is an evolving area that needs to be further investigated and their potentials need to be analysed. Control and management of a population of storage devices to harvest network's services. Governmental incentives, policy, and regulation and their impact on the energy storage integration. Mobile storage systems (e.g. EVs, E-Bus, and E-Truck) and their usage in the energy networks. Smart charging and control of the ESSs. Papers [4-6] of this Special Issue are in this category. Paper [4] by M. Habibi, et al., proposes the usage of energy storage in order to mitigate the uncertainties imposed by the usage of renewable energy sources. Key to this is the observation that previous stochastic models may result in large deviations due to the fact that they do not take into account corrective dispatches. An IEEE 24-Bus network was used to demonstrate that the proposed method can",

    "abstract": "The City Journal\\nPUBLISHED BY THE CITY OF PROSPECT HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS 60070 OCTOBER 1991, VOLUME 10, NUMBER 4\\nWelcome Back, Eileen\\nProspect Heights’ own officer Eileen McChrystal is back on duty in the City. Eileen, who is a member of the 882nd Military Police Company based at O’Hare, was called to active duty during the Operation Desert Storm. She spent seven months in the Persian Gulf and describes her stay in Saudi Arabia as a growing and learning experience. One of the hardest adjustments was that of living with a large group of people and living outdoors.\\nEileen lives in Roselle, Illinois with her parents and brother. She graduated from Loyola University in May, 1990 with a degree in criminal justice. She loves working in Prospect Heights with the new police department and is glad to be back. In her spare time Eileen enjoys photography and jogging. She is also considering to law school or getting an MBA in marketing. Again, Welcome Back, Eileen, We are all happy to have you home safely.\\n“911” Becomes Operational\\nOn Monday, August 19th, the enhanced 911 telephone system became operational in Prospect Heights. The Northwest Central Dispatch Services and Illinois Bell Telephone Company have worked long and hard to make enhanced 911 a reality. Whenever you think you need Police, Fire or Emergency Medical services, call 911. When you dial 911, your name, address and telephone number will appear on a computer screen at the dispatch center when the call is answered. It is very helpful if\\nyou can tell the dispatcher the nature of the problem and type of service needed. If, however, you are unable to talk on the phone, police units will be dispatched to the name and address on the computer screen to ascertain the problem.\\n911 is a useful tool to allow us to better serve our residents. We welcome it becoming a part of our routine operation and know we will all benefit from it.\\nTelephone stickers and information brochures are available at City Hall.\\nRefuse Rates to Increase\\nThe City has been notified by Buffalo Grove/Wheeling Disposal that a rate increase of 3.85% or $.53 per family per month will be effective December 1st. This will bring the new rate, including curbside recycling, to $15.13 per month. Don Bulthuis, General Manager for Buffalo Grove/Wheeling Disposal, cites the reason for the increase is that existing landfill space is rapidly being depleted and becoming more costly. This translates into higher dumping rates for the refuse hauler which in turn must be passed on to the residents.\\nAccording to Mr. Bulthuis the closest landfill in the area will be closing and future rate increases are anticipated.\\nFree Flu Shots\\nThe Des Plaines Senior Center, located at 1040 Thacker, Des Plaines, will be administering free flu shots on Friday, November 8th from 9:00 AM until noon. Prospect Heights Senior Citizens, aged 65 and older, are eligible to receive these shots. For further information please call 298-0111.\\nVehicle Stickers\\nJust a reminder that 1991 vehicle stickers and animal tags are valid until March 31, 1992. Applications for renewals will be mailed to residents on February 1, 1992. The new stickers are due on April 1st, 1992.\\nRTA Passes\\nBecause of the continued demand for its new Reduced Fare Card, the Regional Transportation Authority is extending its re-registration period for riders who currently carry the Special User’s Travel Card. Riders eligible for the Reduced Fare benefit will now have until November 30th to trade in their old card for the new. We’ve extended the deadline to make sure everyone who is eligible will have a chance to get their new card.\\nAny person aged 65 or older, or with a transportation disability, is eligible to receive the RTA Reduced Fare Card and to ride all services of Pace, Metra and the CTA for one-half the full fare. For complete information on how and where to register for this valuable benefit, please call City Hall at 398-6070.\\nACT NOW REGISTRATION ENDS NOVEMBER 30, 1991\\nMAYOR’S MESSAGE\\nThe ban on watering lawns this summer was a tough decision your City Council had to make. It was the right decision to protect the falling water table in our community. To date six (6) wells had to be replaced; others had to have pumps lowered. Our current water level is between 80 and 90 feet.\\nWe are continuing our efforts to obtain State funding for a public water system. This is a difficult endeavor in light of the State’s current fiscal problems. We will continue our efforts in the upcoming veto session this fall. In the meantime, we will focus on other avenues for funding. Among these are the Illinois Department of Commerce & Community Affairs, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the acquisition of Federal funds through Cook County Block Grants.\\nSpecial congratulations are in order for former Alderman Carol Jung. At Summerfest this past June, Carol was named “Citizen of the Year for 1991”. Carol has been involved with the City of Prospect Heights for many years and has served as Alderman in Ward One since 1979. She will be missed and we hope to see her continued involvement in City affairs. Congratulations, Carol!\\nMayor\\nCity Hall Hours\\nCity Hall is now open on Saturdays from 9 AM until 12 noon. Weekday hours remain the same — 8:30 AM -4:30 PM.\\nSummerfest Volunteers Needed\\nEven though Summerfest ’91 was only a couple of months ago, committees are being formed to make Fest ’92 the biggest and best ever. We need your talent and time to make this happen. Please help us by calling Kathy Nowicki at 394-2848.\\nIf You Have One Of These...\\nYou Need One Of These.\\nRegional Transportation Authority\\nReduced Fare Card\\n11/30790\\nS123456 \\nP.A.D.S.\\n(Public Action to Deliver Shelter)\\nThis is a program of emergency help for the homeless. PADS provides service at two of our churches: St. Alphonsus, 411 N. Wheeling Road on Saturday night and the Prospect Heights Community Church, 400 N. Elmhurst Road on Sunday night. The hours are from 7",

    "abstract": "Parcel Services and Urban LogisticsOur research deals with the future of parcel services (at a large extent) within the green urban logistics and related to scenarios resting upon “post-carbone cities”.The parcel services design first of all activities of freight collection, groupage and distribution of parcels and / or pallets in a quick timeframe even express.This operating system may be found (at least partially) within other urban distribution models resting upon a network structuration based upon the implementation of depots ; especially within the pharmaceutic distribution model or with the networks of pallets distribution developed next to the “pure” parcel services.Our approach focusses on the French parcel service market (parcel services, express) including however the mail delivery service (Coliposte), which is the major operator for the parcel distribution and owning on the one hand a wide network of specialized platforms and on the other hand, within the cities, a specific distribution model. This operating model based upon networks structures largely the business related to parcel services and distribution, favouring indeed oligopolistic situations and conditioning the efficiency of the collection and distribution haulages.The own account represents 55% of the freight urban transportation and commercial transportation 45%. LET (Freturb simulation) estimates that parcel services (at the large extent) reach 38% of the urban freight transport flows.Our hypothesis is to consider the sector structuration to reflect concretely onto the organization of the collection and distribution tours and, at long term, onto the evolution of this crucial element of the urban freight transportation enabling only to few major operators to serve the French agglomerations, the more since some large networks are still developing politics of green urban distribution, of which ELU (Urban Logistics Area) experimentations.Transport tours, conditions of urban mobility and productivityOur analysis confirms this state of the art but the relative weight of the parcel service flows within the economic schemes of the cities does not impact significantly the conditions of the urban mobility. It is in fact basically secondary and depends generally of global mobility restrictions. The stakes in number of transport tours are indeed weak.According to INSEE, the urban poles account 60,2% of the French population, of which 27,7% are located within the “city centers” and 32,5% within the suburbs.Daily, according to our estimates (c.f. research report), the urban tours for parcel (pallets) services account 7.500, of which 5.800 (292.000 km) for the sole “city centers”. As regards the express and the parcel services, these figures are respectively 12.600 and 6.300 (126.000 km).Furthermore, despite difficult mobility and parking conditions, the urban tours, thanks to the density of the delivery / collection points have not weaker productivities than in suburb and ever less than in rural areas (except within historical city centers particularly difficultly accessible).The authorized gauge of vehicles and the delivery timeframes are actually more structuring than other factors. It appears that the transport tours are globally optimized and a weak productivity reserve, except by multiplication of massive delivery points (e.g. Point Relais) and thus enhancing even more the sector oligopolistic situation.Our feeling is that the diversities of the conditions of areas servicing between cities and intra-agglomerations result from a high factors’ combination, impacting sometimes on the converse of the expected situation.We notice for instance productivities (in number of delivered points per tour) in the city centers servicing which can double as those indeed of the suburb servicing. The efficiency levels vary obviously according to the customer profiles, the services and the diversity of the parcel number treated per point ; largely influenced by the B-to-C compared to B-to-B.However, globally, the parcel service model appears basically homogeneous, structured by operating ratios comparable to the « global » model of a given business.ELU, unloadings and green distributionWithin this context, it is important to distinguish different levels of discussions. An important part of the present problems rests upon the management and the rationalization of the urban transport flows of passengers as well goods, with an under-estimate of the position to give to the freight problematic ; e.g. a city located in the middle France having implemented a tramway network to serve its major streets “forgetting” to preserve parking places for delivery operations.Even if these practices get a decisive dimension, they are not the central subject of our research which deals with the “zero-carbone” emission distribution and at first glance, in the present conditions, with the development of electrical vehicles. Lot of literature is indeed available on this subject as related to the development of the ELU generating additional unloadings.And that is clearly the state of the art for the servicing of Paris intra-muros because step-by-step the Parisian platforms have been exported to the suburbs, hence the obligation to organize one, and even two, unloadings in order to enable a final servicing with electrical vehicles, using sometimes specialized sub-contractors. Within this framework, the distribution network is rationalized enabling sometimes to generate productivity gains resting upon, at least for BtoC, structures as “point relais”.However, this operating system may only be duplicated in few large metropolis, especially taking into account the different urban geography. Generally, based upon the present energetic autonomy of the electric vehicles, an unloading is necessary when servicing a urban diameter exceeding 30 km.But the green delivery may be direct. In this case the ELU models appears more as rationalization tools to serve areas with difficul",

    "abstract": "Utah in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was an international, multiethnic space. Latter-day Saint converts from Scandinavia, the British Isles, Germany, and other places in Europe streamed in via the transcontinental railroad to practice their religion together. Railroad and mine workers came via those same transportation networks from southern Europe, eastern Europe, and Asia.1 Chinese had been a presence in the American West since the Gold Rush and the era of railroad building. For decades, they filled niches in Utah's economy, including railroad construction, mining, vegetable farming, and the restaurant and laundry business.2Strikingly, the missionary-minded Latter-day Saints, who had sent evangelists to Hong Kong in 1853, to New Zealand in the 1880s, and who had even built a temple in Laie, Hawaii, in 1919, to accommodate the spiritual needs of a burgeoning community of Hawaiian members, appear to have made almost no sustained efforts to proselytize to the non-Christian Chinese in their midst in Utah.3This was not for lack of regular interactions between non-Christian Chinese and White Latter-day Saints. For example, in 1917, Chinese-owned laundries were a common enough feature of everyday life in Utah that a writer for the Relief Society Magazine suggested a “Chinese laundry”-themed moneymaking booth, a spin on the fishpond, at bazaars and fairs. “Tickets at 10c or 5c are sold by a ‘Chinaman,’ who circulates among the people. If the right one is chosen for this job he will be very popular with the little folks.”4 From the “Chinese laundry” booth, children presented their tickets and received prize packages wrapped up as laundry bundles. The role of the “Chinaman” clearly involved some sort of cross-racial costuming, and was a comical, buffoonish role in which the humor relied on people's familiarity with the roles Chinese played in their communities, albeit in a stereotypical and shallow way. The White Latter-day Saints’ focus on the laundry (a place of business) in association with people of Chinese ethnicity suggests that the relationship between the two groups was most frequently defined through economic, not fraternal or ecclesiastical, interactions.Because of social separations between non-Christian Chinese and White Latter-day Saint populations, historical understanding of interactions between these two groups before the post-World War II era is very sparse. We seek to shed more light on these interactions at the grassroots by telling the story of a neighborly friendship between two families, the Jus and the Soderborgs, in Depression-era Utah. This story is unusual for two reasons. First, there is a dearth of primary sources on Chinese nuclear families in Utah at this time, with most of the sources focusing on bachelor male sojourners. Second, the reciprocal and neighborly relationship between the two families counters the broader systematic racial hierarchies and segregations within Utah society and within church culture at the time. Encountering each other at a liminal moment in their lives in Depression-era Utah, the Jus and Soderborgs became part of each other's lives in intimate, symbiotic ways, including religious exchanges, that defied the larger forces of anti-Chinese racism and segregation within Latter-day Saint communities.Our positionality as historians trying to illuminate this aspect of Utah history is quite unique. We are the second- and third-generation descendants of members of the White and Chinese families we describe. The bulk of our sources are oral histories from senior family members. We were both working as historians on other topics, but ran into each other at a Mormon History Association meeting in 2021 and decided to write a paper together on our joint family histories. We believe that the significance of this research goes far beyond our individual family heritage, however, because of the overall lack of primary sources on Chinese families in Utah society and a corresponding lack of primary sources on interethnic and interreligious relations between Chinese practicing traditional ancestral worship religion and White Latter-day Saints.Probably one reason for the lack of programmatic proselytization of Utah-based Chinese on the same level as a Latter-day Saint international mission is the specter of racial integration. For a White missionary, it was one thing to convert Māori in New Zealand or Hawaiians in Hawaii, but another thing entirely to practice religion with them in integrated congregations in one's own neighborhood. In marked contrast with their policy toward White European, Australian, and New Zealand converts, Church leaders encouraged non-White converts from New Zealand and the Pacific Islands to remain in their homelands instead of emigrating to Utah. When the desire of Pacific Islanders to experience ordinances within the sacred space of a Latter-day Saint temple became so great that many Pacific Islanders did emigrate to Utah in the 1880s, Latter-day Saint leaders arranged for them to be segregated in their own settlement in Skull Valley over sixty miles from the White Latter-day Saint population in Salt Lake City.5This general racism within Latter-day Saint communities in Utah was part of larger forces of racial discrimination enshrined in the laws of the United States. The Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1882, effectively banned the immigration of Chinese men, but even earlier, beginning in 1870, Chinese women were banned. All Chinese women coming to the United States were labeled “prostitutes,” which made them inadmissible.6 Another law that stigmatized Chinese and restricted their life choices was the Utah law against intermarriage between Whites and Blacks and between Whites and Asians, in force from 1888 to 1963. In 1922, Congress passed the Cable Act, which decreed that White women who married Asian men would lose their U.S. citizenship.7 One consequence of this pattern of discriminatory l",

    "abstract": "The first part of this essay endeavored to introduce the factors that compelled Connecticut First World War veterans to participate in the 1932 Bonus March on Washington and the forces arrayed to oppose them.1 At a time when no social safety net existed, the principal motivation that would draw an estimated total of 40,000 ex-soldiers and their families over the course of two months to push for the Bonus to be paid was, not surprisingly, financial need. However, discouragement of the public demonstration, indeed even skepticism of the financial motivation for it, was in large part cultivated by the American Legion, which had risen to prominence immediately after the First World War in Connecticut and nationwide, by amplifying apprehensions that radical forces were poised to take over the United States. Immediate payment of the Bonus was a Federal allocation of cash, regardless of need or merit, to all enlisted personnel who served during the First World War, to be allocated in a time of vast economic hardship, which looked to some like a welfare payment. Furthermore, a mere suggestion of a social safety net signaled radical undercurrents to many in Connecticut, almost as much to its Democratic Governor Wilbur Cross in his first term as they did to its Republican boss J. Henry Roraback. The elevated anxiety regarding the extent and reach of radical forces was evidenced during the Red Scare of the interwar period, and provided a framework on which negative characterizations of the March and justifications for its violent end were based.Introduced in the first part of this essay, this next section will focus on Connecticut's Bonus Marchers, or Bonuseers, as they were sometimes called, detail efforts to dissuade them from joining the March, describe their journeys to and from Washington, show how they organized and sustained themselves once there, and describe their ouster. While much has been written about the overall leadership challenges of the Bonuseers, collectively known as the Bonus Expeditionary Forces (BEF) or Bonus Army, Connecticut's Bonuseers had their own issues with leadership, which may further illuminate the BEF's well documented problems with overall command and control. At least six different men over the course of their encampment in Washington claimed or were touted as leaders of Connecticut's Bonuseers. Connecticut's ex-servicemen at the March, the first being from Danbury, came from a small number of cities, and claims of State leadership, may have been based on the numbers at any given time from a particular locale. Amorphous as the leadership and constituency of their organization appeared, the Connecticut Bonuseers showed a savvy for press relations, a dedication to maintaining their numbers, an industriousness in obtaining their supplies, a perseverance in seeking with their and a in the that they had for their encampment on the in Connecticut's with their Bonuseers provided some on the of the and in the of its the of a that had almost as as the Connecticut no of radical of any While the extent of the on the Bonus March and its have been with at in of the period, the of that was in the first part of this essay, as a the of Red Scare and the of an of how Connecticut's Bonuseers may have been by that well the March, the that their in a in had been two and a of as of World War which would two from Connecticut, on and had Washington, in of a they were for a in the a from and a had months to of the First World War their that had been in as the to for the of in the during the War, the its by its and as the economic a number of veterans that the of of had to Washington in March 1932 with in of the and their had to with some Connecticut's from the came in of the on a by a who were to Washington to for the their numbers and veterans they the to the the had that The and many and have as a that had been a in his which no at the time of the had been for months with a and two no leadership the the BEF's with a of and on on of the an and organization the of the and American the payment of the was by a large of all the Legion, the payment in with the Republican when to its was that the not at that to ex-soldiers their the and the BEF's for in from for Washington with no to and with the to in the the was the who had and months the Bonuseers were and and would on the of and in the to in Washington that to be as the had no to an of of of to in and While was in the press to veterans to on Washington in for the and they had the The on a of veterans at the as they their and their the which in they at they to a for a to the the of the Bonus in in the Republican the that the as a that was and some of the skepticism regarding a large was to a from Washington that the to be its of the veterans to be for it, that of of with this a for has been the of in that veterans they almost regardless of time and for of The to this particular from the well organized and almost a of a to be with veterans in when their be to their and that and in this for and public to men as to and the of a which all a had been the in the time to a may not have the to with a that the Bonus was an payment to the veterans to their of the Bonus as a and not a was on the of the this that the to the the would be the to it, at the to However, had been in the they had been the of efforts of the and Legion, not of a organization like the that a of was to the Bonus March on that and from the and American Legion, J. a of that had to at at on were by that the had a its in the of the had in and that the its first March had a to be by on the at their for in the the that veterans had to the to Washington and that two were to take the was to the with and the War in the a of a was a as State the and the to dissuade from joining the in Washington and the to be on the who had served in with the and and was a Republican who had been a a and of the came with a from the State that joining the would to a The and as and on of their to dissuade",

Dibawah bimbiigan SRI HARTOYO dan ABDUL BASITH. \r\n\r\nKomoditi beras merupakan bahan pangan pokok yang sampai saat ini \r\nmash merupakan salah satu komoditas politik. Argumen yang berkembang di \r\ntengah masyarakat adalah salah satu penyebab utama distorsi distribusi bahan \r\npangan tersebut adalah kesalahan atau penyimpangan suatu rangkaian kebijakan \r\nintervensi pasar yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah, kebijakan stabilisasi harga, \r\nmanajemen stok dan manajemen distribusi bahan pangan oleh Badan Urusan \r\nLogistik (BULOG) dan segenap Depot Logistik (DOLOG)dan Sub-Dolog di \r\ndaerah. \r\n\r\nPeranan dan sentralisasi Bulog dalarn memonopoli komoditi pokok beras \r\nmemang sudah pupus, selanjutnya melalui Keppres No 29 bulan Maret 2000 \r\nditekankan bahwa Bulog bukan kg lembaga stabilisasi melainkan lebih mengarah \r\nsebagai lembaga logistik dengan tugas sebagai pengendali harga beras, penyedia \r\ncadangan pangan masyarakat dan pelaksana operasi khusus (OPK) beras. \r\nSelanjutnya penanganan penyuplaian beras diserahkan sepenuhnya kepada \r\ndistdbusi pasar masing-masing wilayah, dan diharapkan beras dapat diperoleh \r\nmasyarakat dengan harga dan kualitas yang bersaing. \r\n\r\nPengadaan dan distribusi beras ataupm komoditi pangan lainnya di pasar \r\nbebas sebagian besar banyak terjadi di pasar-pasar induk daerah. Seperti halnya \r\ndi wilayah DKI Jakarta yang merupakan pusat pemerirntahan dan kebijakan, \r\nmemiliki banyak pasar induk yang baas mengatur dan menjalankan proses \r\ndistribusi dan pengadaan berbagai komoditi kebutuhan pokok. Salah satunya \r\nadalah Pasar Induk Beras Cipinang yang dikelola oleh PT Food Station Tjipinang \r\nJaya untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan bem masyarakat DKI Jakarta. Dengan \r\nkondisi tersebut, pihak manajemen perusahaan perlu perencanaan strategi dalam \r\npengembanganStrategy Business Unit (SBU) di perusahaan. \r\n\r\nPermasalahan tersebut perlu mendapatkan perhatian yang serius bagi pihak \r\nPT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya dalam mengelola system pengadaan dan distribusi \r\nbem di Pasar Induk Beras Cipinang, karena akan mengakibatkan antaralain:\r\n\r\n1.Kesulitan memenuhi kuantitas dan kualitas beras yang harus disediakan di \r\nPasar Induk Bems Cipinang dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan permintaan beras di \r\nwilayah DKI Jakarta. \r\n\r\n2.Timbulnya kesenjangan antara kuantitas dan kualitas beras yang harus disediakan dengan yang dibutuhkan. \r\n\r\n3.Sistem pengadaan dan distribusi bems yang berubah-ubah akan mengakibatkan harga beras berfluktuasi dan cenderung meningkat sehingga kemungkinan akan diikuti pula oleh peningkatan harga komoditi lain. \r\n4.Meningkatnya biaya pengadaan dan distribusi (biaya operasi) beras dari waktu ke waktu. \r\n\r\nPada geladikarya fi diterapkan penggunaan analisis kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Analisis kuantitatif pada sistem pengadaan dan distribusi beras perusahan dilakukan dengan perhitungan waktu pemesanan kembali (reorder point), metode Economic Order Quantity (ElOQ), dan persediaan pengaman(safety stock). Selanjutnya permasalahan atau kendala dalam proses distribusi dan pengadaan beras di perusahaan dianalisis dengan Linier Programming. \r\n\r\nDari hasil analisis kuantitatif terhadap system pengadaan dan distribusi \r\nberas di perusahan tersebut akan dijadikan bahan pertimbangan dalam analisis \r\nkualitatif pengembangan SBU yang ada di PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya \r\ndengan analisis portofolio GE's matriks. PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya dalam \r\nmeningkatkan kualitas usahanya, Unit Bisnis Strateginya (SBU) menjadi empat, \r\nyaitu SBU perdagangan, penyewaan gudang dan perkantoran, Pasar Induk Beras \r\nCipinang (PIBC), dan angkutan. Dari hasil anahis portopolio GE's matriks \r\ndiketahui secara jelas kondisi dan posisi tiap SBU sekarang dan peluangnya di \r\nmasa yang akan datang, serta strategi apa saja yang dapat djlakukan dalam jangka \r\nwaktu panjang. Penggunaan Matriks GE's dilakukan dengan system pembobotan \r\ndari kuisioner yang dibagikan pada 11 pakar yang berada pada tingkat manajemen. \r\n\r\nBerdasarkan hasil analisis operasional terhadap system pengadaan beras \r\nperusahaan yang terjadi di PIBC, maka dapat diketahui: Perdagangan beras yang \r\nefektif dan ekonomis yang harus dilakukan oleh pihak perusahaan dalam salah \r\nsatu usahanya di SBU perdagangannya, sebaiknya pihak perusahaan hanya perlu \r\nmelakukan pemesanan rata-rata satu kali dalam satu bulan atau sekitar 13 sampai \r\n15 kali pesan dalam satu tahun (berdasarkan jumlah permintaan selama tahun \r\n1996 sampai 1999) dengan menggunakan armada angkutan yang berkapasitas \r\nlebih dari 35 ton seperli truck tronton atau fuso dan sebesar jumlah pesanan \r\nekonomisnya. Lalu dingan persentase pemenuhan permintaan ke konsumen rata-\r\nrata 95% setiap tahunnya maka perusahaan perlu melakukan persediaan/stok \r\npengaman rata:rata 68 ton setiap tHhunnya ata; sekitar 6 ton perbulannya atau \r\nrata-rata sebesar 4,672 sampai 4,948 ton setiap kali pesannya. Dan,dengan \r\nexpected demand rata-rata 41 ton per bulannya (tahun 1996 sampai 1999), maka \r\nditentukan saat pemesanan kembali beras untuk pemenuhan permintaan pasar \r\npada saat persediaan sebesar mta-mta 104 ton per tahun atau rata-rata sebesar \r\n7,080 sampai 7,596 ton setiap kali pesan. \r\n\r\nBerdasarkan model analisis program linier yang telah dilakukan pada \r\nsystem pengadaan beras di Pasar induk Beras Cipinang, maka pemesanan beras \r\nuntuk perdagangan beras di SBU perdagangan yang optimum sebaiknya dipesan \r\npasokan beras dari asal daerah sekitar Kerawang, Cirebon, Jakarta, Jawa Tengah, \r\nJawa Tirnur, dan sebagian dari Bandung. Walaupun dapat pula dilakukan \r\npemesanan dariluar pulau Jawa, tetapi sebaiknya dalam jumlah yang sangat kecil. \r\nTerjadinya penambahan biaya angkutan pasokan beras sebesar Rp. 15,- per kg \r\ndari asal daerah sekitar Kerawang (asal daerah pemasok beras terbesar di PIBC), \r\nha1 ini tidak merubah variabel solusi optimasi lainnya tetapi",

    "abstract": "The Last of Us, which aired on January 29, 2023, on HBO Max (now Max) based upon a video game of the same name, follows the story of Joel (Pedro Pascal) who is trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world after a zombie virus erupts. After the death of his daughter, Sarah (Nico Parker), Joel becomes a smuggler alongside his partner Tess (Anna Torv). Joel and Tess agree to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a teenager who is immune to the zombie virus, to Massachusetts to Firefly leaders who are working on a cure for the virus. On the way, Tess is bitten and sacrifices herself, while Joel and Ellie continue their journey. It is in episode three, “Long, Long Time” that we meet Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett), two white gay men, whose backstory we come to know through a series of flashbacks. For the sake of our analysis, we focus on episode three and the relationship between Bill and Frank in particular. We draw on the rest of the series to further situate the relationship and writers’ choices in terms of a larger narrative that is imbued with power, specifically around the (im)possibility of disability and futurity.There have been extensive interviews conducted about the show's production, writing process, and post-episode chats with director Peter Hoar, executive producer and game creator Neil Druckmann, screenwriter Craig Mazin, and the two lead actors of the episode, Offerman and Bartlett. These help to situate the intention behind the team's inclusion of a queer couple that wasn't explored to this extent in the source material. Mazin has explained that he took elements of his own love story with his wife of twenty-seven years when saying, “I may not be a gay man, but I am a middle-aged man in a long relationship. And I know that there's a certain different kind of love that happens that you can't get early on.”1Druckmann, the story's creator, notes in the post-episode interview on Max that each episode has some underpinnings of different kinds of love, and in episode three, “This was the pure, innocent version. This is the beauty that love can bring us.”2 Just after this, Hoar speaks to the intentional dryness in tone, “What really is important is them not being too emotional, because I think it's better to let us be emotional.”3 In another interview with director Peter Hoar, he gives insight to what he finds the queer relationship to feel like, “There's a straightness to this gay love story. It's not flamboyant. It's genuine and it's authentic.”4 His reading presents an intention that this story was not created and extrapolated on to show same-sex love in a complex way, but rather that this is an all-encompassing story of what love looks like for everyone—very homonormative. This is the love is love narrative that permeates popular culture. Hoar has stated in multiple interviews that he does not wish for these men or their story to be overly emotional, perpetuating ideals about stoicism even in one's final moments—a performance of hegemonic masculinity. Normativity, and white homonormativity, is then suggested as what can be found in the apocalypse as emotional fulfillment. Paraphrasing the production team, this “straightened queerness” provides outlets for all people to find joy with another, even if that ends in suicides for both men.With a practically perfect score on film review site Rotten Tomatoes, the public and commentators alike found that this episode was “one of the greatest episodes ever committed to television, and pop culture history will honor it as such.”5 Reviews in the days after airing remarked on the time this episode takes to explore “an alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking short film about companionship.”6 Many have commented about the departure this takes from its source material, but this has often been an outlet for homophobic discourse surrounding the queerness of the episode. The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), an open review site to professional and nonprofessional critics, is home to 223,0000 reviews, with 120,000 ten-star ratings and 56,000 one-star ratings.7 The public is split on whether this entire episode is relevant to the plot of the show. Those in favor of the story call Nick Offerman's words to mind, asking what their lives would be like without their loved ones, whereas those opposed call this something no one asked for. Some suggest the episode is closer to eleven out of ten, whereas others ask to “get back to killing mushrooms here soon” after the episode.8 The negative comments demonstrate a wish for essentialist adaptation, and for our purposes, exhibit the wish for disability to be eradicated. Although adaptation is important, the team behind The Last of Us has expressed that this storyline is important to the underlying messages of love in the show. This episode is written and crafted by the game's creator Neil Druckmann as a departure for a reason, not just some arbitrary addition to the storyline. Druckmann's intentions and wishes to make amendments to his original material through inclusion of different storylines should be taken seriously, especially ones that add to the source in a way that television allows. Although some see that it “doesn't matter” to the plot, the creator of the series would say otherwise.As scholars we can easily make a critique of The Last of Us about homonormativity and its redemption of Bill, the white male prepper, that point to the less than subversive messages the show produces. However, we choose to focus on the (im)possibility of not only queerness, but disability at the end of the world. The Last of Us presents the threat of disability as embodied in the figure of the zombie, which looms large and ready to infect during the apocalypse. Zombification acts as a disease, disability, or virus that harkens back to the rise of HIV and AIDS in the 1980s. Kafer cites Edelman, who argues there is no future for queers in a world where the figure of the child remains steadfast, whereas Muñoz is fo",

Distinguished in styling and per formance, the new Chevrolets meet in every respect the exacting stand ards that have won the company its dominating position in the automo bile industry. In 1951 Chevrolet sold more cars than any other make for for the twelfth consecutive peace time year. Specifically, the new models on display Saturday, January 19 at deal er showrooms offer: Greater comfort through radically re- engineered power mountings and re- design of shock absorbers. Improved performance under ex treme operating conditions through refinements in carburetion. A wide variety of solid and two-tone color exteriors combined with harmonizing interior fabrics that give the customer an amazing 129 choices when he buys a Chevrolet. The models to be shown here are representative of eleven body types comprising the Chevrolet passenger car line for 1952. Again this year, the company will produce two series, the Special and DeLuxe. Ranging from the ultra- practical business coupe to the swank Bel Air, the line affords an unusually complete assortment in bodies, appointments and accessories. In eye- appeal the latest Chevrolets present a balanced beauty of design. A new radiator grille, fresh orna mentation and bright metalwork im part a lower, longer appearance. Bodies by Fisher retain the same spaciousness of a year ago, but more than ever before interiors possess an atmosphere of custom coachwork. In the \" harmonic interiors\" of DeLuxe sedans, for instance, two- tone uphol stery is furnished in gray, blue or green. Instrument panel colors cor respond to upholstery material. Chevrolet announces its body colors \" the most varied ever offered in the low- price automotive field.\" As an example of the range, exterior op tions include Onyx Black, Birch and Dusk Gray, Emerald and Spring Green, Admiral and Twilight Blue, Sahara Beige, Regal Maroon, Honey Chevrolet's Smart New ' Face' FORUM Marked changes from previous years give the 1952 Chevrolets a freshness that assures their continued popularity in the low- price auto motive field. Apparent in this front- end view is the redesigned grille which features five distinctive \" air foil\" fins mounted on the center bar. Parking lamps have been broadened to eliminate the former slotted grillework and the hood emhlem carries the name. Chevrolet. have been increased to five black, blue, gray, green and tan to com plement the new body colors. Two-tone passenger compartments make use of genuine leather and leather fabric. To the passenger, the added riding comfort of the newest Chevrolets will be noteworthy. As a means of elim inating vibration in the passenger compartment, engineers devised a new method for engine mounts. Known as \" Centerpoise Power,\" this has involved the substitution of three-point mountings for the previous mounting at five points in the frame. The new mountings include softer rubber members with greater vibra tion damping characteristics so that less vibration is transmitted from the engine to the car, giving a softer feel. Increased stability in the driving con trols is another advantage. Additionally as an aid to the com fort in the new cars, the company claims a smoother ride on rugged Dew, Beach White, Bittersweet and I highways due to new shock absorber Cherry Red. action.

S. 191- 20 Through Rigby, Idaho Notice is hereby given that pursu ant to US. Code 23- 128 ( Public Law 85- 767), a public hearing will be held pertaining to the proposed de-sioii of the above proposed section of U S. 191- 20 through Rigby at the Rigby High School Auditorium, Rig by, Jefferson County, Idaho, at 8 p. m., Wednesday, February 9, 1972, see below for a prehearing viewing of plans 6: 30 to 8: 00 p. m.- Then and there interested citizens may orally or in writing express their views regarding the social, economic and environmental effectj and the direct and indirect benefits or losses to the community and to highway users that might result from the proposed freeway design. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project would be the ultimate freeway development through Rigby beginning near the Alliance Carnal approximately 0.8 mile south of the State Street connection, and would extend north and east parallel and immediately adjacent to the West railroad right- of- way to the Rigby Canal where it would swing norther ly to a point west of the U & I Sugar warehouse, approximately 0.8 mile north of the Rigby north city limits. Right- of- way would be pur chased for full control of access on the entire length. The project would include a directional type interchange lonth of Rigby, a aeparaton of State Highway 48, and a diamond type interchange at the north city limits of Rigby. It would include frontage roads to connect State Highway 48 with dark Street and ( Main Street with Second North and continue on to the diamond interchange north of Rigby. There would be no at- grade crossings of the new freeway. Access to the Union Pacific Railroad station would be from the existing State Highway 48 and from the railroad crossing north of the depot to the industrial area on the east. STAGE CONSTRUCTION Stage construction is planned for this ultimate freeway development. The initial stage would be construct ed under Project F- 6471 ( 39) and would begin at State Street, the northerly terminus of the Ucon to Rigby project currently under con struction, and would extend north easterly adjacent to the Union Pa cific Railroad to the north city lim it of Rigby. This would include the overpass structure on State High way 46 with the new highway pass ing over State Highway 48 and the frontage road on the west from State Highway 48 to Clark Stret and Main Street to the end of the project. Right- of- way would be purchased under the initial stage for the ulti mate JPreeway dlevtelojpmertt. It fts planned' that the urban section through Rigby would be constructed an a 130- tfoot basic right- of- way. Ad ditional right- of- way would be requir ed for the frontage roads, and future interchanges. At- grade access would be allowed temporarily at State Street, Main Street, Second North, and approximately 0.5 mile north of Rigby. The project would be a four lane divided urban section and would con sist of two 12- foot lanes and a 10- foot shoulder for each direction of travel with a painted 18- foot safety median separating opposing traffic Painter channelization would be pro vided during initial construction at State Street, Main Street, and Sec ond North Street for temporary ac cess to the new highway. A 4- foot chain link fence is proposed through the urban section. The final stage of construction would be under Project F- 6471 ( 54> and would include constructing tho interchanges on the south and the north of Rigby. Access to the City from the south interchange would be via the State Street intersection. Ac cess from the north would toe via the diamond interchange at the north and the connecting frontage road from the interchange to Main Street. Initial construction would take place as soon as posabile after - ac quisition of the necessary right- of way with final freeway construction to be performed at some later date.

SS ASSOCIATION ADVERTISING RATES UPON APPLICATION MOTHER'S BUSY DAY Busy days for mother. There's the kids to be lined up for school and the fall clothing to be looked after; garden truck to be made the most of while it is yet to be had, and the canning season isn't over by a long shot. All of these things, mind you, must receive attention iu addition to her regular household duties. So when you see a Rigby woman who looks as though she was about ready to drop In her tracks be liberal with your sympathy. It certainy is mother's busy season. We once knew a fellow who stayed at home from work for one whole day just to see how his wife put in her time. He didn't let her know his purpose in sticking so close to the house all day. But he stayed there, and he watched her from the time she got up until the last tired feet had been bundled off to bed and she turned to the Bible for a verse or two before she, too, sought slumber. lie tried to tell us afterward how far he figured she walked that day and it was in miles. He ceased to wonder how she managed to keep busy, but has been wondering ever since how she manages to hold up under such a strain. You might try it yourself some time if. you are still so foolish as to imagine that mother has an easy job. And maybe you, too, will wake up and make a better husband by giv ing her a little more aid than you've been accustomed to extending her. THRIFTY CHILDREN S. W. Straus, one of New York's bankers, says thrift among children is growing, and to prove it he cites that there are 8,000 \" school banks\" in the U. S. now with more than 3,000,000 children making deposits. It's our opinion that children of the present age were never more ex travagant, never more thoughtless of the value of a dollar, never had more desire for money for every purpose, and never knew as little about thrift. But Mr, Straus says they are learning fast, and that nothing will make for future pros perity like teaching thrift in our public schools. If children are taught during the school age to put a proper value on a dollar they are more apt to keep that value con stantly in mind as they grow older. It is easy to instill lessons of thrift in young minds right along with their regular studies, and the teach ers who do this are more valuable to the districts that employ them than are the teachers who do not. HIS MISTAKE \" We made a mistake in last week's issue,\" says the editor of a Connecticut paper. \" A good subs-scriber told us about it. The same day there was a letter In our post-office box that didn't belong to us. We called for 98 over the telephone and got 198. We asked for a spool of No. 50 thread and when we got home we found it was No. 60. The train was reported 30 minutes late. We arrived at the depot 20 minutes after train time and the train was gone. We got our milk bill and there was a mistake of 10 cents in our favor. We felt sick and the doc tor said we were eating too much meat. We hadn't tasted meat for two months. The garage man said the jitney was missing because it needed a new timer. We cleaned a spark plug and it's run fine ever since. Yes, we made a mistake in last week's issue of the paper.\" SOMETHING WRONG Old- timers say they can't recall when we have had as peculiar weather as during the spring and summer through which we have been passing. It is also interesting to note in this connection that Uncle Sam's weather men admit that they are puzzled to determine just what has brought about so much chilly weather east and south. Rain east. Dry west. But what seems to worry the old-timer is that this peculiar weather makes it hard for him to predict what kind of a winter we are going to have but rest assured he'll be right there with his prediction in plenty of time, and it is also safe to wager that about nine times out of ten he'll predict that \" it's going to be the hardest winter we've had in years.\" Every man is a filure in one re spect, and that is when it comes to describing a woman's dress. One thing that endears a lot of people to President Coolidge is that he still insists on calling it \" supper\" instead of \" dinner.\" About the only people we know of who are worse off as a result of the bobbed- hair fad are the hairpin manufacturers. Many a girl doesn't care if his head is empty so long as his gasoline tank is full. They say women's hands are get-tifig larger. Maybe it's because so many of them have trifling men on their hands. The fishing season has reached the point where the big one that got away has grown to three times its original size. We heard yesterday of a father who named his son Bill because he came on the first of the month and he keeps getting larger. Adams Chosen in House Amid Great Excitement Halls of Congress Rang With Mingled Cheers and Hisses as Speaker Called Adjournment Clay Calm While Crowd Threatened. Written Specially for The Rigby Star By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD ( Through Autocaster Service) ( Third and last installment of the bitter political fight of 1824, one hundred years ago.) When Henry Clay stepped from his carriage to interview the strick en candidate for the Presidency, Crawford, the contest had reached that pass where he came to look up on the Georgian with considerable favor. Clay unquestionably held the balance of power. He liked Craw ford personally. They had spent many a jovial time over hot toddy and stacks of poker chips. Peculiar ly it was a poker game that caused the bitterness between Adams and Clay. On one occasion Clay was holding a poker party in a hotel. Adams occupied the adjoining room. The Clay party grew boisterous and kept Adams awake until the small hours of the morning, for which Clay was then and afterwards",

    "abstract": "In November 2020, an unintended discovery was made in a utility trench during construction associated with Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) new Central Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility in downtown Salt Lake City. The discovery consisted of a historic refuse pile that had been deposited over a period of approximately three decades—from the late nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries—associated with two narrow-gauge rail lines laid into raised concrete foundations. The refuse pile had accumulated against the concrete foundation of one of the narrow-gauge rail lines adjacent to the former oil house of the historic Denver & Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) rail yard. In 2019, archaeologists recorded the site of the D&RGW Train Maintenance Facility, which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The November 2020 discovery is part of this same archaeological site. SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) had been monitoring continued ground-disturbing activities in the area and excavated the site in order to gather information about and mitigate damage to it.The unintended discovery in 2020 consisted of three buried features that workers exposed while digging a trench for utilities. Two narrow-gauge rail lines set in concrete foundations, one of which has an associated historic refuse pile, are located just to the east of and appear to be associated with the former D&RGW oil house (fig. 1). The third buried feature, a possible wood floor or boardwalk, is located to the northeast of the other features, near the former boiler shop. This article focuses on the rail lines and the associated refuse pile.The rail lines appear to have been abandoned when the D&RGW converted from narrow- to standard-gauge rails circa 1890, and the area next to the vacant rail line was then used as a refuse dump, possibly into the 1920s. As described below, the D&RGW used several types of passenger cars in its operation. All cars went through regular maintenance, upgrades, and repairs at the D&RGW maintenance facility, and those activities appear to be the source of the artifacts found in the historic refuse pile. Historical research and archaeological data, studied through collected artifacts, attempted to shed light on the class, gender, and ethnicity of the individuals who generated the artifacts.Once the discovery was made, SWCA provided an archaeological monitor during ground-disturbing activities as workers placed the remaining storm drainpipe. First, SWCA collected all artifacts located on the surface within the boundaries of the D&RGW Train Maintenance Facility and took them to the SWCA laboratory in Salt Lake City for further analysis. At the site of the discovery, the contractor cleared the trench of material that had sloughed off the trench walls and mechanically excavated the top meter of soil within the trench to expose the top of the visible refuse pile deposit. The trench walls were then cleaned, and SWCA archaeologists drew profiles of the northern and southern trench walls to document where the trench intersected the refuse pile.Before work within the utility trench finished, SWCA excavated a single unit measuring approximately 3 × 3 feet (1 × 1 meter) square in the south wall of the trench against the west side of the concrete rail foundation. Excavators removed sediment in arbitrary 10-centimeter levels, beginning at a point 108 centimeters below ground surface, which was approximately even with the top of the rail foundation. They passed all excavated sediments through a 1/4-inch screen, and they collected all visible artifacts except bricks and clinker (spent coal from train engine furnaces) for laboratory analysis. They tracked the collected artifacts’ origins by assigning field specimen numbers. Excavation was terminated at 70 centimeters below the top of the rail foundation (a total of 178 centimeters below the modern ground surface [cmbs]) due to safety concerns, resulting in seven excavated levels. This excavation unit represents a small sample of the total refuse pile, which began 40 centimeters above the rail foundation in the northern trench wall, extended more than 2 meters east–west in the trench profile, and continued to an unknown depth below the bottom of the excavation unit.Each bag of artifacts collected during excavations was transported to the SWCA laboratory, checked in to the laboratory, and subsequently entered into SWCA's database. All artifacts were then cleaned and stored according to appropriate laboratory standards. All artifacts were analyzed for markers that would indicate each artifact's age and function and those exhibiting distinctive diagnostic characteristics were photographed. Researchers prepared a catalog with a detailed accounting of the artifacts recovered.In total, 9,508 artifacts were collected from the discovery area. Of those, 17 artifacts were collected from the surface, and 9,491 were from the excavated sample unit within the refuse pile. The excavated artifacts were collectively produced between 1879 and 1929. However, even though some of the artifacts may have first been produced as far back as 1879, it appears that the deposit cannot be older than approximately 1890, when the D&RGW converted to standard-gauge rails. We assume that refuse would not have been allowed to pile up against the rails while they were in use.The seventeen artifacts collected from the surface include glass, ceramic, and one men's leather shoe. The shoe, which includes copper eyelets (invented in 1840), was collected from a point approximately eight hundred feet to the northeast of the discovery, near the vicinity of the former engine shop (fig. 2).Of the glass artifacts in the surface collection, most are bottles made from either aqua or colorless glass. Four are patent medicine bottles, and the contents of two of those four bottles can be identified through embossed lettering; Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine was produced by the Dr. Miles Medical Company fr",

    "abstract": "Velvet, sown into slippery delicate satin, soft to the touch. Millennial pink. Sublime. She pulled the deadstock off a top shelf and into her shopping cart. It would keep her new lampshade company, and soon they would be joined as one.She had a whole shelf of them now, some conical, many cylindrical, a few accordion, arranged harmoniously to tie up the part of her brain full of loose ends. She'd added tassels, fringe, satin, chiffon, crepe, and steel. Old shades bore new life, moving light downcast in much louder dress.She parked the cart at the counter to unload the barcodes to the cashier with dyed black hair. The woman's headband held back thick bangs and hid peeking bald spots. Inspecting the time on the wall clock with the aim not to engage, she shoved the credit card chip in the reader face up. Before she had a chance to recoil, the cashier's long red nails gripped the small of her wrist.Both stood in silence, connected and unmoving. It was then that the woman's wrist and the cashier's nails flattened into a series of brush strokes and stippling. It was happening again.It was an average day the day her eyesight changed. She was doing her job, proofreading website updates, and that was when she saw it. Someone, a colleague, had uploaded a picture, a header image, at the top of an article. It was a photo, maybe, but it wasn't. It was trying to be. It was real, but also cartoon-like. It was unsettling. The image tripped a wire in her, the kind of wire meant to detect false information, but she wasn't convinced it was accurate and it sent her gut into a state of uncertainty. So she sent her colleague a Slack message. Did you get those illustrations from design? she asked. They're slick. Very lifelike. Are they AI-generated?What do you mean? The colleague asked.The photo-like images on the last two articles you published, she responded. They're incredibly vivid.Oh, the colleague typed, I got them from the Canva free imagery.Right, she said, they're not photos. They're AI generated, I think. Are we cleared to use those now on the website?The coworker stopped responding.She didn't think much of it. Her colleagues and she shared a distant, if not strained, working relationship and reciprocal conversations often fell by the wayside.It was near her 5 p.m. wrap-up time this busy Friday and she diligently completed her last few tasks. A modern woman, she worked from home, and was grateful to have eliminated a commute from her time dedicated to someone else's dream. This did not, of course, mean work was wholly satisfying and the irrevocable best use of her time, but she swallowed her shallow commitments in an anesthetic state.A certain tension had, in no uncertain words, usurped the better part of her brain. The predictable flickering light above the kitchen stove made her jump with its acrimonious dimming. She found clumps of her hair next to the toilet. Food was unpalatable, and when consumed, indigestible. Sundays meant tears teetering on the edge of her inferior eyelid. Lovemaking, a pastime, was for those unburdened by such tight golden handcuffs.She calmed herself with busying tasks, like cleaning a disgusting vintage chair, or painting a wall orange, or day drinking, but the reprieve these activities brought was intermittent. It took only seeing her laptop to trigger a deep anxiety into which she reluctantly spiraled, becoming too dizzy to stand and taking a compulsory seat on the couch with a glass of water.She was unaccustomed to this mania. She could handle death and breakups with ease. She'd whip out the tarot cards, call a girlfriend, and smoke the pain away.Her role wasn't high-pressure—she was in marketing—but every day had the urgency and tedium of crawling through a minefield. Her body in the life she lived now was scoped through a telescopic lens. She could not feel well. She could not feel but that she was missing something deeply. She had been sleeping too many hours each night, but was never fully rested. She felt very far away.Ordinarily, she was the kind of gal that could work like mad. Not “throw a punch through your wall” mad, but the “draft a searing email containing figures and facts that will destroy your world” kind of mad. She was violent with her hands on the keyboard and could strangle you with random information you left lying around. Her skin care routine consisted of a hot cup of coffee before 7 a.m. If the printer wasn't printing in color, she refused to fix it out of concern for “babying” it. Her mental and emotional fragility in her marketing role was a novel crisis.She wrapped up her day and shut her laptop. On to her second job: cleaning. Dishes piled high from breakfast (oatmeal, no sweetener) and a lunch of leftover falafel (dry). She flipped the water on and squeezed the lavender soap onto the sponge. Her pressure was too much, and soap spewed into the sink and over the sponge. Steamy water grew bubbles from the bowls and cups, air trapped inside the detergent with an iridescent veneer. She shut the water off. The sink's edges, the bubbles, and the cups, took on a cartoon quality. An untouchable unrealness that belonged on a canvas. The depth pixelated, and edges melted into one another. She blinked a few times. I must take a photo, she thought. I've never seen dishes look so pretty.She resumed chores. A glue gun, lampshade, and mustard-yellow fringe rested on the Formica table, a thought left unfinished from the prior weekend's aspirational projects. In preparation for this project last weekend, walking through Home Depot looking for a lamp cord, she'd felt a tinge of dysphoria.“If I start to slowly lose it” she turned to her husband in the ceiling fan department, “we can document my slow demise through the quality of my lampshades. Like Utermohlen.”This proclamation had come one evening after her supervisor berated her about a PowerPoint presentation. After two attempts at completion, and one abruptly confusing conversation, her supervisor announced ",

    "abstract": "When I embarked on learning about my father's paternal line 20 years ago, I sought out existing material on Italians where my great-grandfather and great-grandmother lived the majority of their adult lives. Much has been written over the years about Italian enclaves in the Chicago area: Melrose Park, Bridgeport, Roseland, Chicago Heights, Taylor Street, “Little Sicily,” Near Northside, and the Northwest Side, to name some of the most well-known. Given their humble beginnings, my family remained unnoticed among the more well-known Italian families of Chicago, and I found no information about them or the other Italians who lived on Federal Street. At the time of my initial research about my family, I had no idea a divine serendipity would take me down the paths it has. This never-ending journey has become a passion that drives me forward to obtain new knowledge about my heritage and about all of the Italians that settled in this long-forgotten area of Chicago's South Side, and it has stretched me to learn more about myself and my desire to help others find what they are seeking.About five miles south of the center of downtown Chicago (State Street and Madison Street) and three miles west of Lake Michigan, in what is now known as the Grand Boulevard community of the Bronzeville neighborhood, an enclave of Italians resided at the turn of the twentieth century. These Italians lived in this community from 4700 to 5100 South Federal Street (LAT: 41.81189 LON: −87.6282806) in the late 1890s until the late 1950s. This neighborhood was of mixed heritage, consisting of newly immigrated Italians and African Americans who migrated from southern states during the “great migration” beginning in 1916. This tight-knit community was known to regularly socialize and pull together during hard times.These Italians came from a small comune called Sassano, 93 miles southeast of Naples, in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of southwest Italy. The population of Sassano currently sits at just shy of 5,000 souls; around the time of the mass immigration to the United States, its numbers were around the same. “Stati delle Anime” of 1714 (the state of the souls) church records from San Giovanni Evangelista, the mother church of Sassano, shows a population of only 1,555 and 300 families. Sassano is a stunningly beautiful town embraced by mountains, mostly located in the valley. You can also see many homes spotted throughout the mountains that encircle the town.After the unification of Italy in 1871, southern Italians suffered great poverty. Many Sassanesi, along with many other Italians, began to flee to the United States. Originally settling in the areas of Hartford, Connecticut, New York City, the towns of Red Bank and Jersey City in New Jersey, and Fremont County in Colorado, south of Denver, between 1880 and 1900, southern Italians made America their home.However, around 1893, the time of the World's Columbian Exposition (the First Chicago World's Fair), the migration moved west to Chicago. Records indicate that Francesco Cavallone, his future father-in-law Michele Libretti, and his brother Vincenzo Cavallone were some of the first to migrate to the Chicago “Grand Boulevard” community on what was formerly known as Armour Avenue. Quickly the Italians from Sassano began to purchase the properties they lived in on the strip of land bounded by the Rock Island Railroad to the west. Over the next 40 years, about 100 families followed to this long-forgotten enclave. Home ownership was the major goal of the Sassanesi. By 1940, 67 percent of the Italian families owned their own home, which was high above the 18.5 percent average home ownership on Federal Street. As late as 1940, Italians made up only 26 percent of the population between 47th and 51st Streets.In their new home of Chicago, the Italians from Sassano did whatever it took to make it in America. U.S. Census data show that many began as junk dealers, collecting old iron, bottles, papers, and the like to make ends meet. Eventually that led to them becoming grocery store proprietors, saloon owners, restaurateurs, real estate investors, and Chicago city services employees. Some early settlers, such as the Ricciardone and Marmo families, built real estate businesses on the southwest side of Chicago's Ashburn-Wrightwood neighborhood bordered by 79th and 87th Streets and Western and Cicero Avenues and the nearby suburb of Oak Lawn. From 1933 to 1958, Club DE LISA (www.clubdelisa.net), a well-known African American nightclub on 55th and State Street, was, in fact, owned by Sassanesi di Lisa brothers, Michael, Luigi, James, John, and Anthony. It was the venue of performers such as Red Saunders, Fletcher Henderson, Count Basie, and Sun Ra. The Italian immigrants were living the American dream.My journey of discovery began in 2002 when my oldest daughter, Elizabeth, received an assignment from her social studies teacher, Dan Wall, at Worth Middle School. The assignment was simple enough, “Find the Ancestor that Came to America and Why.” A visit to my Aunt Rosemary Cavallone di Miele and Uncle Rosario di Miele shortly after not only answered the question for this assignment but also prodded me to delve deeper into my family history, which eventually led me on a journey of self-discovery. As a third-generation Italian American and a product of divorced parents, I had no idea the size of my family on my father's side. My Campanian father's side and my Sicilian mother's side were so proud to become Americans and so determined to fit into their new culture that Italian language and traditions took a back seat to the ways of their new home. As a result, I did not know much about my Italian heritage. Aunt Rosemary and Uncle Rosario changed that. They gave my daughter enough family history to complete her assignment. However, my adventure was just beginning. Thinking my whole life that my family was small, consisting of just one sister and a and I was with at the of j",

    "abstract": "On July 25, 1877, in four simple declarative sentences, the Deseret News summed up a man's life under a “Drowned” heading in the “Local and Other Matters” section of the paper, sandwiched in-between notices of a horse that had to be put down and a meeting of the Twenty-first Ward. “On June 20th,” it reported, “at Coe and Carter's tie camp, Weber Cañon, George Carter was accidentally drowned, in the Weber River. An inquest was held over the remains, by a jury, before Mr. James McCormick, Coroner of Summit County. The verdict was that deceased was accidentally drowned while attempting to wade the Weber. From papers found among his effects it appears that Carter was formerly of Montreal, Canada.”1George Carter was a “river hog” in territorial Utah's important but often overlooked tie and log driving industry, and on that day his life likely hinged on a single decision made instinctively and reflexively, drawn from his accumulated experience guiding timber to market on the interior West's rivers. Amid the grinding, crashing roar of thousands of raw logs and rough-cut ties boiling down the Weber River in northern Utah that June, Carter would have maneuvered himself through the adrenaline-fueling chaos for twelve to sixteen hours a day. But on that morning, Carter made a fatal miscalculation. Yet while Carter's life and final moments may be lost forever in the past, the significant and substantial economy that employed him should not be so ephemeral in the historical record.2In the arid West, water is the essential element. In addition to providing sustenance, the West's rivers were also important highways of timber commerce and trade—working water that facilitated territorial settlement and economic development. Yet in Utah's story, this fascinating aspect of water history has long remained obscured. Log driving originated in Europe, and immigrants to North America brought the practice with them.3 Wood was a vital, indispensable resource and early pioneers used it to build, roof, and heat their homes and cabins; fence livestock in (or out); construct furniture; raise barns; tie railroads; make charcoal in kilns and for smelters; timber mines and road tunnels; fabricate bridges; and erect temples and stores and buildings. It was the fabric of life. In the Central Rocky Mountain West, white settlement and the coming of the railroad expanded tie and log driving in part because rivers were a logical and inexpensive timber conduit in a region devoid of significant roads.4It should come as no surprise that tie- and log-driving enterprises—the business of acquiring this elemental commodity—were crucial to the personal and fiscal success of some early settlers. While historians have documented extensively the boom-and-bust economies of the West's other extractive industries such as mining, ranching, timber, and railroads, the centrality of the tie and log drive economy to the development of the interior West has garnered only passing mention, if at all.5 Yet as the history of the Weber River—as well as that of the Provo, Bear, Blacks Fork, Green, and numerous other rivers throughout Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho—demonstrates, between the 1850s and 1900 especially, tie and log drives were fundamental to the settlement success of the region.6 This, then, is the story of the Intermountain West's other extractive economy. a through brought the pioneers to the of the in in part to the and the had at the of their to the the were the and in and the the for economic part of his and the and that to and of Utah's and In this was in territorial that the had of timber, water water to and such as in their the timber, and the of the in the of water for for other as a that in water in the early was to the that the were on with and and his made the and of the for timber and the River for and also and for in the The found the as as as the and a for as be the of timber their and that the rivers had to a and in of water to timber from in the the James that and early was and of a in the the and Blacks the of the Weber and other rivers of northern Utah as highways of timber the four rivers in northern Provo, Bear, and Blacks Weber has the and the the other the Weber in Utah's in the section of the in a by the and the From the Weber River for to Utah, through Summit and Weber to final in the is the the Weber River twelve from the Other such as the and also the so that it for of the by the the of a railroad that raw in the West to and in the the of the the West for and for the of was of the the Bear, and rivers. that the Weber and rivers through the and that the from through Weber In that the “river at this of the by the of the is by from to in with a up the the on the that a single would have and the of the with at have in while the had of and but were of the Weber a for the railroad on made a of the the 1850s and the of the in such as and and the River had in of Utah to logs up in the and down the on the River to the of the for of in of would the and and down the River for a of the their logs for at of the logs as for his for of the was for a of but it also to the on such as that through the for a for and a for In on the Weber logs and by down the to the On the Weber in with in and June and to for the of the July the the of to a railroad from the River to the of the were not in the and so the railroad a The expanded from while the Central of at Utah, on part of their to build, the of the to timber their as for ties on the North of the the the railroad through Weber and the brought and the The of was The and by the of the Weber River as and from four to at the of the by of on the also that of timber be in the for ties and and that the from to the under is the and that is a of timber, for railroad from this also and the and and that the of the of for railroad that be down River to the The River also of from ties be and down River to the to the road between and for and of ties to the and tie to the to the of ties at th",

    "abstract": "Walking to school in Connecticut is now so atypical that the experience makes news each October on National Walk to School Day. Students at schools throughout the state are dropped off at designated meeting spots less than a mile from their destination. At the chosen moment, the procession moves out along the sidewalk under the supervision of teachers, parental chaperones, and sometimes police. An exercise promotion with hints of historical reenactment, Walk to School Day gives twenty-first-century children a taste of what it was once like to travel by foot.1 The national promoters of the event, along with state officials, hope to encourage a return to a daily form of childhood exercise that previous generations took for granted. Yet Connecticut parents balk at suggestions for unsupervised walking in an era of fast traffic and possible abductions. “What parent in their right mind is going to let a 6-year-old walk to school?” asked a West Hartford mother, protesting a town plan to build more sidewalks.2By 2018, nearly 80 percent of Connecticut public school students relied on school transportation, mostly buses. On average, it costs $1,288 a year to transport a Connecticut child to school, for a total state expenditure of $560.6 million. Many of the unbused students are dropped off at school by a parent, a growing national trend made obvious by morning traffic in school driveways.3The shift from walking to riding has been a major historical change in childhood experience. By 2017, according to a national study, children aged five to sixteen spent an average of nearly forty minutes a day sitting in a vehicle.4 In the daily life of a child, that means an additional forty minutes of confined inactivity under adult control: a significant infringement on a child's autonomy, exercise, and presence in public space. This essay will trace how such a shift began in Connecticut. Roughly speaking, the transition to riding occurred in three phases. First, in the first half of the twentieth century, the availability of motorized school buses accelerated the consolidation of rural school systems, closing the one-room schoolhouses that were within walking distance of many children in the Connecticut countryside. Second, the rapid suburbanization of the state after 1945—particularly in Fairfield, New Haven, and Hartford counties—meant that a rising percentage of children lived outside the dense urban environments where schools remained within walking distance. Third, concerns about pedestrian safety and child abduction at the end of the twentieth century discouraged even short walks to school. This essay will focus on the first of these three phases, when large numbers of children first became passengers and lost control over the geography of their daily lives.Historians have not written much about school busing, except as a method of producing racial integration since the mid twentieth century.5 Works on the history of education briefly mention the bus as the technology that expedited the replacement of one-room schoolhouses with larger, modern “consolidated” schools.6 Sociologists and geographers have provided a useful interpretive frame by examining the larger trend of children's declining access to public space.7 Cultural historians and historians of childhood have provided helpful background: it seems that both the educational reforms and the willingness to bus children arose from a common cultural source. By the late nineteenth century, there was a rising commitment among educated Northerners to make childhood closely supervised, distinct from adult life, and centered on the home. These ideas were prevalent mostly among the urban middle class. They were resisted by working-class and farm families who valued the self-reliant child and the child willing to labor at a young age. This conflict could be seen in disagreements about the enforcement of vagrancy, truancy, and child labor laws. Urban middle-class parents in the early twentieth century developed strong concerns about the physical safety of children, whose lives were seen as increasingly precious but who were endangered by the growth of motorized traffic. Children, they believed, needed to be sheltered from the world. These beliefs have of course persisted, though they have taken new forms. Parents since about 1980 have grown particularly concerned about “stranger danger,” the heavily publicized but statistically rather slim chance that a child will be abducted and abused while away from the home. Parents and public officials acting on these fears, as the geographer Gill Valentine has observed, have defined “public space as ‘naturally’ or ‘normally’ an adult space where children are at risk.” Out of place in public, children now spend most of their lives playing or studying in indoor environments, in which they have developed a greater tendency to obesity—one of the concerns that recent “walk to school” efforts are intended to address.8In the 1800s and early 1900s, the desire to keep schools within walking distance meant that Connecticut was generously sprinkled with schoolhouses. There were some 1,635 schoolhouses in 1893, an average of nearly ten for each of the state's 168 townships. Virtually every little village had a one-teacher, one-room schoolhouse serving what we would now call elementary and middle school students. Even in completely rural districts most children had a school within a mile and a half of their homes. Newtown, whose fifty-seven square miles makes it one of the largest towns by area, had nineteen schoolhouses in 1893 to serve a registered student body of only 591 children. Out in the woods of eastern Connecticut, the sparsely populated town of Union maintained six schoolhouses even though it had only forty-eight school-age children. The distances to and from school still discouraged Union children from going home for lunch, a common practice in the cities and more significant villages. Passing the noon hour “under the tr",

    "abstract": "In early 2018, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), the well-known proxy advisory firm, announced that it had acquired EVA Dimensions, an equity research firm that uses economic value added (EVA)1 to measure corporate performance and estimate a company's intrinsic value. Following this acquisition, ISS also announced that in 2019 EVA would be featured in its research reports along with GAAP-based measures—and that in 2020 it would consider making EVA-based measurements part of the financial performance assessment methodology for its pay-for-performance model.2 Those of us who have been studying performance measurement and compensation design for decades applauded the news. But not all were as enthused about this development, as I recently found out when I attended a WorldatWork conference in Colorado focused on trends in executive compensation and performance measurement. Though many topics were discussed, a common thread running through many presentations was that EVA was undergoing a resurgence—and every expert warned that human resource professionals should be deeply concerned about its impending return. The most common complaint was about the complexity of the EVA performance measure, but some also cautioned against its tendency to encourage “underinvestment.” Yet, having implemented EVA with Stern Stewart for over 10 years beginning in 1992, I can say with some confidence that EVA is a more effective way of guiding and motivating corporate managers to create value than traditional performance measures. It was a substantial step forward in the evolution of performance measurement in that it attempts to balance considerations about both “quantity” (or growth) and “quality” (rate of return or profitability) within a single measure. Sure, there are improvements that can be made to simplify EVA and encourage better behavior, which will be discussed below. But it was a major advance in performance measurement when it was launched about 30 years ago. But before getting into the specifics, let me provide some context for what follows. In 2001, when Joel Stern and John Shiely published The EVA Challenge: Implementing Value-Added Change in an Organization,3 they asked me to write the epilogue, which came to be titled “EVA and the ‘New Economy.’” The authors wrote the book during the dotcom bubble, and the epilogue was my early attempt to explain corporate valuation in situations where corporate investments more often took the form of R&D and marketing expenditures than traditional capital spending on buildings and machinery. As I wrote back in 2001, “Do not be distracted by the values of new economy companies. The share prices may be realistic or they may be a dream; we do not know. However, …[a]t any reasonable percentage of prevailing valuations, this would be an NPV-to-capital ratio that many ‘Old World’ companies would cherish.” A year earlier, in 2000, I gave a speech at Stern Stewart's second European EVA Institute in Fiuggi, Italy that was later adapted into an article titled “EVA and Growth” and published in Stern Stewart's EVAngelist magazine.4 As I pointed out in my speech, although EVA theoretically encourages all good investments insofar as it rewards the delivery of returns above a weighted average cost of capital, with many clients I had witnessed EVA stifling growth investment and causing managers to place too much emphasis on cost efficiency and capital productivity. The speech and article were my first attempts, while I was still at Stern Stewart, at explaining the behavioral reasons for these unintended consequences of an otherwise good idea. Then, in 2004, I joined the “Buyside Insights” Group of the Credit Suisse investment banking department shortly after they had acquired the HOLT valuation framework.5 HOLT is a highly sophisticated framework for valuation, which is to say that it is very complicated. It is great for investors, who tend to be a very numerate lot, but has proven to be cumbersome for corporate management teams. Worth noting here, though, is that HOLT is “cash-flow based,” so it does not recognize depreciation as a cost and assets do not decline in value as they get older. It was during this period that I realized that depreciation was at the root of one of the biggest problems with EVA. By making new assets look more expensive than they really are, and by creating an illusion of performance improvements as those assets depreciate away, the conventional accounting for depreciation causes distortions in the timing of EVA—and of virtually every return measure, including ROE, ROIC, and ROCE. I will come back to this later, but for now, suffice it to say that depreciation was a key to solving the puzzle of why EVA appeared to be discouraging new investment. It was these shortcomings of EVA that ultimately led our Fortuna Advisors team to develop a better economic profit performance measure when we founded our corporate shareholder value advisory firm in 2009. The process began with extensive empirical testing to refine our ideas and develop a simpler economic profit measure that does a better job of tracking total shareholder return and, more importantly, strikes a better balance between delivering current performance and investing in the future. The result was Residual Cash Earnings (RCE), which was introduced here in the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance in 2010.6 We have implemented RCE for many companies since then, in most cases customizing the measure (and often renaming it after the company) to fit different businesses and industries. In the sections that follow, I will explain how both EVA and RCE are calculated as well as how RCE differs from EVA by providing management with the performance indicators and incentives to pursue an optimal balance of profitability and value-adding investment. In the 1990s, EVA was all the rage. One would hardly have known that economic profit had been developed in academia over 100 years earlier. Of course, the fo",

    "abstract": "The writing of history does not always accurately reflect the complexity of events. Often, it is shaped by choices—whether conscious or not—that privilege certain protagonists, timeframes, or convenient interpretations. For decades, the narrative of the LDS Church's beginnings in Brazil has been told through devotional celebrations, established names, and repeated versions in commemorative publications. This construction, marked by edifying intentions and selective choices, has consolidated an institutional memory that engages little with the complexity of historical facts. To question or even deconstruct such narratives does not mean rejecting them entirely, but rather revealing their gaps, tensions, and alternative possibilities—thus allowing for the emergence of a more pluralistic, critical, and source-based historical account.In this sense, the deconstruction of historical narratives can uncover hidden layers of power, ideology, and subjectivity that operate within them, enabling a reassessment of accepted truths. Jacques Derrida,1 who coined the term “deconstruction,” argued that knowledge structures are permeated by binaries and hierarchies that need to be challenged in order to achieve a more pluralistic and inclusive understanding of reality. By reassessing historical events through new lenses, historians and researchers can expose intentional or unintentional gaps and omissions that perpetuate cultural and political hegemony.Furthermore, deconstruction does not propose a mere replacement of one narrative with another, but rather a continuous process of critique and revision. It challenges the notion of a singular and static historical truth, arguing that history is an open field of interpretation where the past is constantly reinterpreted in light of new contexts and discoveries. This movement allows for a more democratic approach to history that acknowledges the multiplicity of human experiences and challenges monolithic discourses.Over more than two decades of research on the history of the Church in Brazil, I have occasionally come across inaccuracies in institutional publications related to dates, descriptions of places, statements, and photographs either lacking captions or used out of context.2 When examining these publications, I often found discrepancies that could alter the historical interpretation of events. A notable example is the founding date of certain branches of the Church in Brazil, which often varies depending on the consulted source. Moreover, the descriptions of places occasionally contain errors, stemming from incorrect transcriptions or misinterpretations of the original texts. Another problematic aspect is the statements and testimonies recorded in historical documents. The subjectivity of personal accounts can significantly influence the understanding of facts. Statements may be biased, influenced by the beliefs and worldviews of the authors, making a critical and contextual examination of these sources necessary. Historical photographs, in turn, are valuable for a visual understanding of the past, but the lack of captions or their presentation out of context can lead to misinterpretations. For example, an image of a religious event may be interpreted completely differently if there is no adequate description or if the photograph is out of the correct chronological sequence.The objective of this article is to critically review traditional historiographical interpretations concerning the early years of the Church's presence in Brazilian territory. This entails deconstructing predominant narratives that were based on limited sources or partial readings of events, as well as reconstructing a more accurate history grounded in primary documentation. The use of previously unpublished sources, located at the Church History Library in Salt Lake City, has enabled a broader and deeper understanding of the proselytizing efforts, as well as the social and political conditions that shaped that period. As a result, new protagonists have emerged in the narrative, while the roles of others have been clarified.Finally, although this article focuses primarily on publications produced by the Church, it is essential to acknowledge and highlight the importance of the academic work already carried out on the subject. In particular, the contribution of Mark L. Grover stands out, whose research is marked by methodological rigor, intellectual responsibility, and careful analysis of sources. His studies provide a solid and reliable foundation for any serious investigation into the history of the Church in Brazil and remain an indispensable reference for critical engagement in this field.3Elder Melvin J. Ballard played a crucial role in the mission to dedicate South America for the preaching of the gospel, a significant event in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In his capacity as a senior leader of the Church, Ballard was instrumental in organizing and executing missionary efforts in the region, reflecting his commitment to the expansion and strengthening of missionary work in South America.His interest in the expansion of the restored gospel extended beyond Argentina.4 Ballard was aware of the potential of the German immigrant colonies in Brazil and expressed a desire to visit them. In a letter to Heber J. Grant, the president of the Church, he wrote: Our own plans for the future are to prosecute the work here until missionaries arrive, and we have got them started, which will probably take us until about the last of April, when the fall season will be on here, then Brother Pratt and myself would like to visit the southern provinces of Brazil, where we have a few friends, and large German colonies who speak the Portuguese, which is similar to the Spanish, and Brother Pratt will have little difficulty in understanding them and making them understand him. From there we would like to go west into Paraguay, then up into Bolivia, and from there to Peru,",

    "abstract": "Born in 1958, Karen Coulter grew up during a period of marked social change in the United States. The Civil Rights Movement, which was already in full swing, and the second-wave feminist movement, which began in the early 1960s, influenced the social milieu of her childhood and shaped her perceptions about social justice. The publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962) and Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb (1968) also inspired an increased awareness of environmental issues among the general public during the 1960s.2 Coulter's mother first introduced her to the idea that humans alter their environments, and the concomitant call to limit the human penchant for dramatic alteration of the natural world colored Coulter's childhood and early adolescence.Coulter's lifelong commitment to activism began at age 11, when she testified as part of Wild Horse Annie's children's campaign in front of the Nevada State Legislature on behalf of the Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Protection Act.3 It was not until several years later, however, that Coulter became deeply engaged in environmental activism. In early 1980, while she was enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, Coulter learned about a plan for the inception of the MX Missile in Nevada and Utah.4 Development of the infrastructure necessary for the missile's mobility was a central concern for anti-nuclear activists focused on the MX project. Apprehension primarily revolved around the widespread destruction of Western landscapes that was projected and would likely transpire during the construction of the rail system necessary for the missile's transportation. When she learned that this proposed project would directly impact the hills outside of Reno, Nevada, which she called home, Coulter became involved in anti-nuclear protests, participating in direct action and nonviolent civil disobedience against the MX project.Her “not in my backyard” (NIMBY)-inspired anti-nuclear activism continued into the mid 1980s, when the anti-nuclear movement began to dissipate in the United States due to the ebbing of the Cold War. Exhilarated by early successes during the MX project, which included President Ronald Reagan's abandonment of the infrastructure necessary for the mobile missile system in 1982,5 Coulter became committed to environmental protection through activism and civil disobedience, and readily turned her focus to other environmental justice concerns.After the MX project, Coulter became a campaigner for the well-known environmental organization Greenpeace and later joined the radical environmental movement Earth First! (EF!), a movement she was still active in as of 2023. In 1991, she co-founded Blue Mountains Biodiversity Project, a nonprofit environmental organization fighting to protect old-growth forests and to prevent logging in roadless areas in Oregon. Throughout her activist career, Coulter has worked to foster diversity, fighting to make movements more inclusive (especially in terms of gender and ethnicity) and to bring awareness to various forms of social and environmental injustice. More than anything else, Coulter emphasized, it is her spiritual connection to nature that has kept her engaged in activism and fighting for the protection and preservation of Earth's biodiversity and ecosystem viability.A closer examination of Coulter's life and work, I argue, illuminates two important points about the cultural milieu of her time, including and especially about the trajectory of radicalism in North America. First, Coulter's activism, much of which falls under the definition of “radical” activism, reflects changing sociopolitical trends in the United States, and provides a unique lens for viewing radicalism during this particular historical moment. Radical activism—activism that incorporates civil disobedience, sabotage, and, in some rare cases, violent tactics—has been used by numerous individuals and groups in the United States and beyond to influence social and political change. As Bron Taylor has shown, radical activism includes a “bricolage of diverse religious, political, and scientific beliefs” and may be understood as a form of dark green religion—a belief system that “considers nature to be sacred, imbued with intrinsic value, and worthy of reverent care.”6 Coulter's transition from anti-nuclear activism in the mid to late 1980s into more disparate forms of radical activism aggregated under the broad label of “the environmental movement” is representative of a widespread—and often overlooked—shift that occurred in environmental movements, and especially their most radical forms, during that time.Second, Coulter's work elucidates the complex and often overlooked connections between religion and radicalism that have shaped the contemporary North American environmental movement. By providing a detailed account of her activist engagements, I show how religious beliefs and practices informed, and in many ways helped to set the tone for, common forms of social and political activism during the Peace Movement and beyond. Moreover, Coulter's life story shows how, for her and for many other environmental activists, religious or spiritual beliefs grounded in a deep understanding of biological interdependence and affective connections to the earth influence pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors, and sometimes lead to radical forms of activism focused on protecting and preserving the health and stability of the biotic community.7Karen Coulter was born in Portland, Oregon, on 22 April 1958 to Walter and Carolyn Coulter. When she was five years old, her parents divorced and her mother, who won custody, moved them back to where her family was from, in New York. When Coulter was eight, her mother remarried and the family, which then also included four older to a on the of Reno, up in the Nevada hills was an early Coulter the social and not to her family or their up with the her with and as a who was in Coulter to detailed the vari",
