  • World Literature
    world literature Peter Harrington london This catalogue celebrates the international conversation that is literature, and the creativity that can spark when writers and texts cross national, linguistic, and cultural borders. For his lifelong commitment to literary internationalism, Jorge Luis Borges is a key figure here. One of the star items is Borges’s own annotated copy of Dante (20). Another is a man- uscript of the only poem he composed in the English language (17). We also have a scarce signed set of his Biblioteca de Babel series (21), which brought the great short stories of world literature to a South American audience. Many other items connect notable authors across place and time: Dylan Thomas’s school- boy copy of Omar Khayyám (item 179), T. S. Eliot’s Rimbaud (61), and E. M. Forster’s Chek- hov (41), for example. Among international presentations, Umberto Eco’s Name of the Rose to García Márquez is a show-stopper (58), as is García Márquez inscribing One Hundred Years of Solitude to his English publisher (67). A compelling example of international readership is found in a first American edition of Moby Dick being read by a poet in Hawaii who correspond- We are exhibiting at these fairs: ed with Melville (127).

  • 2018 Results
    Central City Development & Redevelopment Projects Prepared by Heritage Consulting Group May 2018 Purpose: This document is intended to provide a five-year window on real estate development in Portland’s Central City. For the purposes of this document, the Central City includes the following sub-districts: Downtown, West End, University District, River District, South Waterfront on the west side of the Willamette River, the Central Eastside and Lloyd District on the east side of the river. The subsequent pages begin with general comments followed by a summary of projects under construction, projects in design, projects in concept and projects completed in the last five years. Overview: Portland has historically been a very attractive second-tier real estate market. As the largest city between San Francisco and Seattle, Portland has a national and international reputation as a sustainable, vibrant, and trendy city with a legacy of aggressive growth management strategies and robust investments in alternative transportation. It is well recognized for its livability and it continues to attract a highly-educated workforce. Economic leaders are focused on workforce development in the growing sectors of clean tech, activewear, software, research and advanced manufacturing industries. Cumulatively, this has resulted in a marketplace that is largely stable and fueled by consistent in-migration. As in recent years, the real estate marketplace has been extraordinarily active in a large number of projects across all sectors in nearly every geographic area of the city and region. With high demand and less supply, particularly within the housing sector, this has presented a challenge around affordability. Current projects providing notable additional supply may mitigate this challenge in the longer term, while the city continues to explore strategies to spur additional housing development.

Staging Area Protocol 4. NET Communications 5. BEECN SE-34 Colonel Summers Park 6. Resources 7. Known Hazards 8. Search and Rescue Priorities Deployment, Roles, and Responsibilities Team members should follow the overall NET guidelines regarding deployment - ensuring the safety of themselves and their family/household members before deploying; deploying only upon receiving a message from PBEM; or self-activating in the event of a major disaster and communications failure. If communications systems are partially available, team members should check in with both team leaders and your "check-in contact" on the team contact sheet. Text message is preferred, but phone call is ok as well. Check-in should consist of status and availability (or not) to deploy, and estimated time to deploy. Team member should retrieve their NET kit and personal protective equipment, and proceed to the primary staging area at Buckman Arts Focus Elementary School. Follow the Staging Area Protocol (below) to establish a staging area/command post at the staging area in the numbered sequence.​ ​Once a secure staging area is established, establish incident command. Team members can either defer to the most qualified member as ​Incident Team Leader​, or nominate/vote for one among those present. Incident Team Leader​ takes direction from emergency responders working under the direction of an Incident/Unified Commander (IC), keeps informed of situation status (​form 3​), establishes incident objectives for the neighborhood, delegates authority, provides information to internal and external parties, and maintains liaison with other responders.
