Humility might be fi ne for etiquette and church, but don’t let it interrupt me updating my online profi le or getting ahead in my career. A closer look at humility as one of the classical virtues and as lived at Great Hearts Academies may help dispel the misunderstanding of it as being at odds with a strong sense of self. Robert Grosseteste, a medieval philosopher and one of the founders of the English intellectual tradition at Oxford, offered that humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. It is a spirit of self-examination and the courage to engage challenges and sacrifi ce with grace. Humility also bespeaks a reverence for those who have wisdom and those who selfl essly teach in love. Such a scholar gives credit where credit is due, not unfairly glorifying himself.1 Socrates serves as an important example of the virtue of humility. The foundation of his quest to live the examined life was his admission of ignorance, as opposed to those blind, self- assured men of Athens who boastfully claimed to know far more than they did. The philosopher “ At Great Hearts, we believe teaches us that humility is the requisite starting that humility is a source of point of the heroic search for truth. From the American Tradition there are also core strength in our shared work examples of magnanimous humility “saving the as students and teachers.

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony. Devotional Cross-Roads Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony Edited by Hedwig Röckelein, Galit Noga-Banai, and Lotem Pinchover Röckelein/Noga-Banai/Pinchover Devotional Cross-Roads ISBN 978-3-86395-372-0 Universitätsverlag Göttingen Universitätsverlag Göttingen Hedwig Röckelein, Galit Noga-Banai, and Lotem Pinchover (Eds.)

  • Internations.Org Seattle - Riga
    InterNations.org Seattle - Riga SHORT STORIES & POESY E-BOOK EDITION 2020 FOREWORD Standing at the start of 2021, we look back at the past year and realize a year ago we were unknowingly perched atop a precipice. None of us knew that in the following weeks and months, life as we knew it—the world as we knew it—would change irrevocably. In many ways the destruction of our previous life is complete; and yet, a phoenix has risen from those ashes of our former existence. At the same time that global lockdowns built up walls to separate and “distance” us, InterNations broke down the walls of geography and brought us together in a new, online community. Our calendars, suddenly empty deserts devoid of commutes, office hours, and in-person socializing, instead offered us a new-found wealth of time, time we used to develop untapped talents and unexpected potentials. The microfiction works contained in this collection are the fruit of these creative explorations. Over the course of 2020 dozens of InterNations members set pen to paper, many for the first time ever, and crafted mini-works around given themes and key words. With limits on length ranging from 250-350 words, together we discovered that writing was something of which we are all capable. We particularly applaud those who bravely shared pieces composed in languages other than their mother tongue. We hope that you will all enjoy reading the stories and poems in this e-book, published exclusively for the authors themselves. And we encourage all the authors to continue nurturing their nascent literary talents as we very much look forward to seeing more of your work in 2021! Margie Banin & Claude G.

All rights reserved. 3 INTRODUCTION Dear members and friends of eabh, Photographs are a key part of the archival collections of many financial institutions. Their emotional charge, their documentary power, their immediacy and universality set them apart from other archival documents. Used well, they provide an asset for any financial institution. This volume features articles from 17 financial institutions in eleven different countries. Almost 300 photographs provide glimpses of institutional practice over a span of 150 years. The photographs reveal stories about staff members, office buildings, and money; and they tell us about fashion, cultural movements, financial and industrial innovation, poverty, gender, colonization, leisure, and much more. This issue is the first of a series, and part of a wider project to explore the connections between finance and photography. eabh would like to invite its member and partner eabh institutions to join in by contributing to the second volume of the series.

Sutanto B.M., The Boston Conservatory, 1995 M.M., Manhattan School of Music, 1997 Committee Chair: Prof. Frank Weinstock Abstract Vladimir Horowitz and Evgeny Kissin would certainly be included among the very few of the greatest pianists ever recorded. This document provides a detailed description of their interpretations of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition based on their recordings. The document begins with brief biographical information about Mussorgsky and Victor Hartmann, which is then followed by a historical background of Pictures. Brief biographies of Horowitz and Kissin are included as well. The concluding chapter discusses whether or not it is important for pianists to follow Mussorgsky’s original intentions regarding the suite. Is it necessary for pianists to make some changes or improvisations to the suite—eccentric playing? Will Pictures still sound good and interesting if pianists faithfully follow the score—academic playing? Pianists Frank Weinstock and Jason Kwak offer their opinions in answering these questions.

  • 2010 Stories Magazine
    Fall 2010 Stories of People Helping People The First Word As the new President of the Abbotsford Community Services Board of Directors, I look forward to working with the dedicated individuals who comprise both the board and the staff of ACS, who work so diligently to improve the well-being of those in the community. Gerry Palmer, President of the Board for the past three years, is no easy act to follow. All of us on the Board are extremely grateful to Gerry for his wise, compassionate leadership and unflagging sense of perspective (and his irrepressible sense of humour). One of the greatest challenges this past year was the selection of a new Executive Director to replace Thelma Schrock. The selection committee devoted extensive hours to the process. The Board warmly welcomes Rod Santiago, formerly of Chilliwack Community Services; we are confident that he can lead the agency through the challenges ahead. Rod brings with him a reputation for building partnerships, and ACS hopes to form new relationships within the community, and to strengthen existing ones. This spring ACS faced cuts to several programs for children and families, part of a province-wide reduction on the part of the provincial government. We will be working hard to find ways of compensating for this loss, re-structuring those programs, and trying to maintain services. On the positive side, donations to the agency increased by 17% over the last fiscal year, with the largest increases to the food bank and “where most needed.” These funds will aid greatly in serving children and families.
