Aclelman, Escj 72 Financial Report 75 Membership List 76 Rhode Island Jewish Historical Notes PREFACE In what way does the story of the Jew in America differ from the story of the Jew in other lands? In one important respect. In America, unlike other lands, the Jew was present at the very beginning of things. An Asser Levy in New Amsterdam, a Mordecai Campanall in Rhode Island, an Adolph Sutro arriving in a covered wagon in San Francisco. The number involved is not important. It is important that the Jew was there. It is important that he must be counted as one of the melange of peoples who began the building of America. In Providence, 1854 marks a dual anniversary: Lhe centennial of the first Jewish congregation in Providence and the Tercentenary of Jews in the United States. We observe these events—in part, at least— in order to remind our neighbors of our early presence in this land; and to remind ourselves that religious concernments stimulated the first organized endeavor by Jews in this land—whether it was a syna- gogue, an all-clay school or a cemetery, the concernment was religious.

  • British Suzuki Institute Teacher List
    British Suzuki Institute Teacher List Welcome to the BSI's list of registered Suzuki teachers. All the teachers listed here have trained with the BSI or with another accredited Suzuki body and they are current BSI members, so you can be assured that your child will be receiving an ESA (European Suzuki Association) accredited Suzuki education. There are currently UK Suzuki teachers for violin, viola, recorder, piano, flute, double bass and cello, in addition to Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE). Teaching in the UK is done on a private basis - please contact individual teachers for lesson times and fees. Most children will receive a weekly individual lesson and regular group sessions. Some teachers run group sessions among their own pupils, others join with other local Suzuki teachers to form larger and more organised Suzuki groups. 'LSG' stands for the London Suzuki Group, a large membership organisation for London-based Suzuki teachers and families. Please note that if there is no telephone number or email address listed for a teacher, the BSI is unable to give out these details to the public - we are only able to publish or pass on the details specified by individual teachers. The list is sorted by instrument then region, town/county, postcode and surname. We would avise that you check through the whole region, or neighbouring regions if you live on a border, to ensure that you don't miss a teacher living or working in your area. You should be able to use the 'Find' facility at the top of your PDF window to search for a key name or location.

  • Extending Korn's First Inequality to Incompatible Tensor Fields
    Poincare´ meets Korn via Maxwell: Extending Korn's First Inequality to Incompatible Tensor Fields Patrizio Neff, Dirk Pauly, Karl-Josef Witsch May 14, 2014 Dedicated to Rolf Leis on the occasion of his 80th birthday Abstract 3 For a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R with Lipschitz boundary Γ and some relatively open Lipschitz subset Γt 6= ; of Γ, we prove the existence of some c > 0, such that c jjT jj 2 3×3 ≤ jjsym T jj 2 3×3 + jjCurl T jj 2 3×3 (0.1) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) holds for all tensor fields in H(Curl; Ω), i.e., for all square-integrable tensor fields 3×3 3×3 T :Ω ! R with square-integrable generalized rotation Curl T :Ω ! R , having vanishing restricted tangential trace on Γt. If Γt = ;, (0.1) still holds at least for simply connected Ω and for all tensor fields T 2 H(Curl; Ω) which are L2(Ω)-perpendicular to so(3), i.e., to all skew-symmetric constant tensors. Here, both operations, Curl and tangential trace, are to be understood row-wise. For compatible tensor fields T = rv, (0.1) reduces to a non-standard variant of 3 the well known Korn's first inequality in R , namely c jjrvjj 2 3×3 ≤ jjsym rvjj 2 3×3 L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) 1 3 for all vector fields v 2 H (Ω; R ), for which rvn, n = 1;:::; 3, are normal at Γt. On 1 3 arXiv:1203.2744v3 [math.AP] 13 May 2014 the other hand, identifying vector fields v 2 H (Ω; R ) (having the proper boundary conditions) with skew-symmetric tensor fields T , (0.1) turns to Poincar´e's inequality since p 2c jjvjj 2 3 = c jjT jj 2 3×3 ≤ jjCurl T jj 2 3×3 ≤ 2 jjrvjj 2 3 : L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) Therefore, (0.1) may be viewed as a natural common generalization of Korn's first and Poincar´e'sinequality.

  • Introduction How the Child Lost Its Tail
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-12752-4 - Evolution and Imagination in Victorian Children’s Literature Jessica Straley Excerpt More information Introduction How the child lost its tail “Come away, children,” said the otter in disgust, “it is not worth eating, after all. It is only a nasty eft, which nothing eats, not even those vulgar pike in the pond.” “I am not an eft!” said Tom; “Efts have tails.” “You are an eft,” said the otter, very positively; “I see your two hands quite plain, and I know you have a tail.” “I tell you I have not,” said Tom. “Look here!” and he turned his pretty little self quite round; and, sure enough, he had no more tail 1 than you. Only three years after Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species (1859) brought the theory of evolution by natural selection to the British reading public, Charles Kingsley converted it into a child’stale.InThe Water-Babies: A Fairy Tale for a Land-Baby (serialized 1862–1863), an orphaned chimney sweep named Tom falls into a river and is suddenly metamorphosed into an newtlike “water-baby.” From this new animalized starting point, he must re- evolve back into a human boy, but just how bestial Tom’snewbodyis remains ambiguous. The narrator tells us that Tom is now “3.87902 inches long, and having round the parotid region of his fauces a set of external gills 2 (I hope you understand all the big words) just like those of a sucking eft.” Though Tom has the anatomical features of an eft and is not sure what other specieshemightbe,hedrawsthelineattheotter’s assertion that he has a tail.

By using their own media forms, the dissidents •• were able to break the government's monopoly on information. More importantly, they •• used the media technologies to advocate for their two key, interconnected goals of •• glasnost, or openness, and the rule of law. The dissidents made two main arguments. •• First, that glasnost was integral to creating an equitable and fair justice system. Second, that speaking truth was legal and not something the government could prosecute. •• • Glasnost served as both a rallying cry and as a weapon. The dissidents called for openness, but also used their media outlets to expose events the government wished to ••• keep quiet. • In choosing the two mantras of legality and glasnost, the dissidents consciously put themselves in the shadow of previous groups of Russian reformers who had the same ••• demands. They placed themselves in a historical debate. The dissidents also sought to •• differentiate their version of glasnost, complete openness, from various government •• leaders' definitions of the term. •• This thesis seeks to explore the way dissident media outlets forced the dual goals •• of glasnost and respect for the rule of law. It will examine the causes and forms of dissident media, and their relationship to the idea of legality.
