    1 Mayoral Election in Evanston, Illinois: In the Wake of Covid-19 I Logistics On February 23, 2021, Evanston, Illinois had a Local Primary Election. The ballot included races for aldermen, City Clerk positions, and mayor. Each city in the United States dictates how local elections are held. Evanston only holds local primary elections for mayoral candidates if there are more than two candidates, and this year there were three: Daniel Biss, Lori Keenan, and Sebastian Nalls. In Evanton, when there is a primary election, if one of the candidates running for mayor receives a majority of the votes, they win by default; however, if none of the candidates receive a majority, then the two candidates with the most votes will face off again in an April election. If a primary election was forced, meaning there were initially only two candidates, then only one election in April takes place rather than a primary and subsequent election.1 In the case of the recent mayoral election, Daniel Biss received a majority of the votes in the primary election so there was not a secondary race in the later April election. II Candidates, Campaigns, and Covid-19 The Daily Northwestern, the self-proclaimed “only daily news source” of Northwestern and Evanston, links information in an article entitled “Everything you need to know about Evanston’s municipal primary” which lists information about each of the three mayoral candidates that ran in the recent mayoral race; the first candidate listed was Daniel Biss.2Daniel Biss’s campaign focused on a positive future for Evanston, especially in the wake of Covid-19.

In this paper, we flesh out the historiographical tensions arising from these confrontations: longue-duree´ history and revolution; abstract mathematics and the use of mathematical techniques in various other domains. After reviewing the historiography of dynamical systems theory from Poincar´e to the 1960s, we highlight the pioneering work of a few individuals (Steve Smale, Edward Lorenz, David Ruelle). We then go on to discuss the nature of the chaos phenomenon, which, we argue, was a conceptual reconfiguration as

    the frontiers collection the frontiers collection Series Editors: A.C. Elitzur M.P. Silverman J. Tuszynski R. Vaas H.D. Zeh The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the forefront of modern science, including related philosophical debates. In contrast to typical research monographs, however, they strive to present their topics in a manner accessible also to scientifically literate non-specialists wishing to gain insight into the deeper implications and fascinating questions involved. Taken as a whole, the series reflects the need for a fundamental and interdisciplinary approach to modern science. Furthermore, it is intended to encourage active scientists in all areas to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to entropy, consciousness and complex systems – the Frontiers Collection will inspire readers to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge.

Geramita; received 8 July 1997; received in revised form 29 November 1997 Abstract We study the transfer homomorphism in modular invariant theory paying particular attention to the image of the transfer which is a proper non-zero ideal in the ring of invariants. We prove that, for a p-group over Fp whose ring of invariants is a polynomial algebra, the image of the transfer is a principal ideal. We compute the image of the transfer for SLn(Fq) and GLn(Fq) showing that both ideals are principal. We prove that, for a permutation group, the image of the transfer is a radical ideal and for a cyclic permutation group the image of the transfer is a prime ideal. c 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Both are mediated over a distance and the force is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the objects. Isaac Newton described the gravitational force in his Principia in 1687, and in 1915 Albert Einstein (Nobel Prize, 1921 for the photoelectric effect) presented his General Theory of Relativity for the gravitational force, which generalized Newton’s theory. Einstein’s theory is perhaps the greatest achievement in the history of science and the most celebrated one. The laws for the electromagnetic force were formulated by James Clark Maxwell in 1873, also a great leap forward in human endeavour. With the advent of quantum mechanics in the first decades of the 20th century it was realized that the electromagnetic field, including light, is quantized and can be seen as a stream of particles, photons. In this picture, the electromagnetic force can be thought of as a bombardment of photons, as when one object is thrown to another to transmit a force.

  • The Anatomy of Influence: Government Unions in Illinois
    The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois David Giuliani | Government reform analyst Chris Andriesen | Project manager Illinois Policy Institute TABLE OF CONTENTS Overall union membership Employment and union membership in Illinois 6 Overall employment, public sector vs. private sector 8 Union profiles Illinois Education Association 10 Illinois Federation of Teachers 12 American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 14 Service Employees International Union 16 Union spending Partisan breakdown 20 Largest beneficiaries 22 99th General Assembly 29 ILLINOISPOLICY.ORG | 3 INTRODUCTION In 24 states, employees of a unionized workplace can decide for themselves whether they want to join and financially support a union. In Wisconsin, this choice is extended to employees of state government. But not in Illinois; almost all government workers – including teachers, police officers and those who serve in state government – are required to pay money to a union to keep their jobs. Because of this, government unions in Illinois have long been powerful in state politics, with the major government unions donating tens of millions of dollars to political campaigns. Since 2002, Illinois’ five major government unions have spent more than $46 million on direct political contributions alone. “The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois” takes a close look at unions’ political spending and the influence afforded to government unions as a result. This analysis offers an unprecedented review of the political donations to the current Illinois General Assembly, as well as top recipients of union political giving since 2002. It also highlights how profitable the business of forced unionization can be for those who run the unions by listing a sampling of the highest-compensated employees for the state’s major government unions: the Illinois Education Association; Illinois Federation of Teachers; American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31; and Service Employees International Union.
