She does not want to live in a wheelchair, but her brain won’t let her move in the way she still expects. That day she wanted just to get dressed, so that she could attend a family graduation party for her granddaughter Shannon. We must plan and execute the steps carefully. I coached, and my mother responded as if she were in training. Together we would get her standing. It was just like climbing a big mountain for the first time. Mom was pushing beyond what she normally could do. I would help. I bent over her as she got ready. We leaned together, straining muscles. A few deep breaths. “OK. Let’s do it. One, two, three.” Our objec- tive was that we’d get her higher—stepping up, using all of our remaining energy. I leaned down more and grabbed onto Mom’s right arm and shoulder. I said, “Believe.” In a burst of energy, she moved partway. Almost. “Shannon is counting on you.” And up she went. She stood up. For a moment I could forget that the majority of my mother’s hours those days included frustration, anger, demands that we get her out of there and take her home. Home—a goal less attainable for her than the top of Mount Washington. We often tell her that if she works on getting stronger, then we can see about the next step. How many times have I told myself this on a long hike? I peer up through sunrays on an incline, hoping they mark the trees thinning out and the beginning of the alpine zone. I try not to think about the actual top, my objective. I try instead to take one step and then another. Maybe my own sense of ambition will carry me forward. Or perhaps these assumptions stand in my way, blocking my appreciation of those tiny spruce branches brushing against my right elbow. Usually I reach the top, but my mother rarely does anymore. 6 Appalachia Appalachia_WS2019_FINAL_REV.indd 6 10/26/18 10:34 AM A small rock holds up the big rock on Middle Sugarloaf Mountain, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. CHRISTINE WOODSIDE “I just have to retrain my brain,” my mother announced a few months ago. “I will walk again. I just have to work on the brain.” I listened politely. And dreamed of getting out onto a mountain. A few weeks later, my sister, Annie, my niece Shannon, and I clustered around Mom at the door to a restaurant where we’d just eaten. Annie opened the car door. Shannon flanked the wheelchair’s right side. I stepped in front of my mother and wrapped my arms around her. I tensed every muscle and together we rose. “We’re dancing,” I gasped, desperately. And this woman who nudged me up my first mountain a half-century ago began singing. “Shall we dance?” “Ha, let’s sing!” I panted. “Shall we then say, ‘Goodnight and I mean goodbye?’” It’s a song from “The King and I.” “When the last little star has left the sky, shall we still be together?” —Christine Woodside Editor-in-Chief winter/spring 2019 7 Appalachia_WS2019_FINAL_REV.indd 7 10/26/18 10:34 AM Working as a Mountaineer in Antarctica 40 years in the making Todd and Donette Swain 8 Appalachia Appalachia_WS2019_FINAL_REV.indd 8 10/26/18 10:34 AM Editor’s note: Todd and Donette Swain wrote this piece together.

Participants. Participants included Finance Directors, Chief Actuaries, IT Directors and Senior Risk Managers. Participating regions. A large response was received from insurers in the following countries: UK, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, Morocco, Mexico, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Taiwan and Australia. Significant outcomes • As expected, IFRS 17 compliance was identified as being primarily the responsibility of the Finance department although 47% of the responses suggested that it was a joint Finance, Actuarial, IT, Risk and Underwriting responsibility. • Compliance is managed centrally by almost 70% of the participants with only 28% having autonomy to implement their own local solutions. • 9% of respondents indicated that pure IFRS 17 compliance was their primary goal whilst 36% stated it was a catalyst for a broader Finance Transformation program. • 31% of the respondents reported that their IFRS 17 implementations were underway whereas 39% were still working on the detailed design. • Confidence in achieving IFRS 17 compliance within the current time scales is high with only 9% suggesting it would not be possible. • SAS was identified as the most popular technology for CSM calculation with 17% of the respondents having selected it. • The primary area of concern relates to data with 20% identifying data integration as of greatest concern.

I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access.

Kasvinsky, Dean, School of Graduate Studies and Research Date © A. Murray 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the universal journey of self discovery against the specific backdrop of the south coast of England where the narrator, an American woman in her early twenties, lives and works as a barmaid with her female travel companion. Aside from outlining the journey from outsider to insider within a particular cultural context, the thesis seeks to understand the implications of a defining friendship that ultimately fails, the ways a young life is shaped through travel and loss, and the sacrifices a person makes when choosing a place to call home. The thesis follows the narrator from her initial departure for England at the age of twenty-two through to her final return to Ohio at the age of twenty-seven, during which time the friendship with the travel companion is dissolved and the narrator becomes a wife and a mother.
