  • Iam Pleased to Serve As President of Women Legislators of Maryland
    Untitled-1 1 12/21/2018 1:23:26 PM Untitled-1 2 12/21/2018 1:23:28 PM A Message President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated I am pleased to serve as President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated. WLMF was established in 2006 through the efforts of The Honorable Eileen Rehrmann, a former delegate and the first woman to serve as County Executive of Harford County. WLMF’s first President was the late Delegate Pauline Menes, a founder of Women Legislators of Maryland (Women’s Caucus). WLMF was organized to assist the Women’s Caucus in achieving its funding potential in support of its agenda. The Women’s Caucus’ agenda addresses equal rights for women and children, primarily in connection with education, employment, economic development, and social opportunities. Throughout the history and advancement of our great nation, women have been an untapped and underutilized resource. However, today we celebrate! We are ecstatic to report that 2018 has truly been the year of the woman. I am delighted to share that record numbers of women ran successfully for office nationwide during the 2018 mid-term elections. The number of women in the Maryland General Assembly reached an all-time high of 72 members. In addition, WLMF is proud to report and salute the historical appointment of Victoria “Vicki” L. Gruber to the position of Executive Director of the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, on January 1, 2018. WLMF and the Women’s Caucus recognize and appreciate the leadership of Thomas V. “Mike” Miller Jr., President, Maryland Senate, and Michael E.

NASA History Program Office, publisher. Title: Not Yet Imagined : A study of Hubble Space Telescope Operations / Christopher Gainor. Description: Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Office of Communications, NASA History Division, [2020] | Series: NASA history series ; sp-2020-4237 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “Dr. Christopher Gainor’s Not Yet Imagined documents the history of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (HST) from launch in 1990 through 2020. This is considered a follow-on book to Robert W. Smith’s The Space Telescope: A Study of NASA, Science, Technology, and Politics, which recorded the development history of HST. Dr. Gainor’s book will be suitable for a general audience, while also being scholarly. Highly visible interactions among the general public, astronomers, engineers, govern- ment officials, and members of Congress about HST’s servicing missions by Space Shuttle crews is a central theme of this history book. Beyond the glare of public attention, the evolution of HST becoming a model of supranational cooperation amongst scientists is a second central theme. Third, the decision-making behind the changes in Hubble’s instrument packages on servicing missions is chronicled, along with HST’s contributions to our knowledge about our solar system, our galaxy, and our universe.

    1961–2007 The Evolution of a Building Ad honorem 2011 edition THE BOLOGNA CENTER BUILDING CAMPAIGN 1961–2007 The Evolution of a Building A successful story…… When the Building Renovation project was launched we knew it was the most ambitious project the Center faced since its establishment in Via Belmeloro 11. We went through the dust and noise of major reconstruction and enlargement and concen - trated the most disruptive part of the works during the summer so that our students could enjoy their year in Bologna and we did not need to face the huge additional cost of renting alternative spaces in town. And, we succeeded! Not only have we reached our goal of $6 million, but with new committments received at the time of publishing this booklet, we are now in a position to accelerate the repayment of the building renovation loan. We would like to celebrate with you this incredible success story. 90 percent of our donors to the campaign are alumni. Many have given individually, many through a class gift. What’s im - portant is the exceptional, generous and overwhelming response that alumni and friends have offered to make this project become a reality. Grazie mille… Ad honorem ROBERT J. ABERNETHY Robert J. Abernethy, a 1962 Johns Hopkins graduate in mathematics, has drawn upon his passion for international affairs, science, technology, environmentalism and national politics to benefit the Bologna Center. The Center’s largest benefactor, Abernethy’s most recent gift is the Robert J. Abernethy terrace, a gracious space that overlooks one of the best views of Bologna.

    Book Reviews Hospitals are instititions; they are also agglomerations of dispersed buildings. At any given time, all of these will be variously declared inadequate, under construction, having something tacked on, or altered to some different, generally lowlier, purpose. Plans are commissioned, and the money runs out; new plans are drawn up. The constant to-ing and fro-ing of the builders is difficult to control within the strictly chronological framework generally favoured by historians in this genre. The format has other drawbacks too: changing attitudes to venereal diseases are well illustrated at Swansea, for example, but even the best index cannot substitute for occasional summaries and glances forward and back. The importance of books like these lies in their authors' fidelity to the primary sources, and the intelligence with which they synthesize them. The citation of these sources presents a problem: Davies points out that, as more than 1,200 references are made to documents in his book, it would be impossible to footnote them all. Consistent footnoting does, however, have the advantage of keeping the reader informed as to when, precisely, something happened without reducing the text to a staccato list of dates. Chronological "headers" of the sort sometimes found in biographies could also be useful. The title of Wyman's book is oddly punctuated; it is the history of medical care in what is now a London suburb. The surviving Fulham parish records date from 1625; and it is at this point that he could free himself from the secondary sources, although his book makes excellent use of these throughout and is particularly strong on Fulham's figurative and literal relationships with the wider world.

  • The Laboratory Within the University
    __________ THE UNIVERSITY AND GOVERNMENT IN TECHNOLOGY THE LABORATORY WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY By Steven Muller The Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) of The Johns Hopkins University serves as an illustrative ex­ ample of a large laboratory sponsored by a military service-the U.S. Navy-that is owned and operat­ ed by a major research university. After an examination of how APL functions within Johns Hopkins, the positive side of the relationship is examined. It is found primarily in the combination of national service and research and teaching collaboration with the University's academic divisions. The primary negatives are public controversy and the risks and burdens of the University's obligation. The position of The Johns Hopkins University has been and remains that classified research is not necessarily incon­ sistent with the purposes of the University and that a major public service is legitimately rendered by the contributions to national defense made by APL to the Navy, within limits set by the University. The military establishment of the United States con­ also be assumed that the prestige and good name of the tains within itself a substantial number of research lab­ university involved help to retain and attract personnel oratories of different sizes and with varied missions.
