Subscribers' changes of addreu should be raported well in advance to avoid disruption of service: address labels are prepared four to six Mills in advance of the debt of mailing. Requests for a change of addreu should always include the member or subscriber code and preferably a copy of the entire mailing label. Members are reminded that U. S. Postal Service changa-of­ addreu forms are not adequalll for this purpose, since they make no provision for several important items of information which are essential for the AMS records. Suitable forms are published from time to tima in the Notices (e.g. June 1980, page 378). Sand change of addreu notices to the Society at Post Oflice Box 6248, Providence, Rl 02940.

POSTMASTER: Send addreu change notices to Membership and Sales Department, American Mathematical Society, Post Oflice Box 6248, Providence, Rl 02940.) Publication here of the Society's street address, and the other information in brackets above, is a lllchnical requirement of the U. S. Postal Service. The street addreu should never be used by correspondents, unless they plan to deliver their messages by hand. Members are strongly urged to notify the Society themsalves of address changes (in the manner described above), since (as explained above) reliance on the postal service changa-of-addreu forms is liable to causa delays in proceuing such requests in the AMS office.

  • Dniester Jews Between
    PARALLEL RUPTURES: JEWS OF BESSARABIA AND TRANSNISTRIA BETWEEN ROMANIAN NATIONALISM AND SOVIET COMMUNISM, 1918-1940 BY DMITRY TARTAKOVSKY DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Mark D. Steinberg, Chair Professor Keith Hitchins Professor Diane P. Koenker Professor Harriet Murav Assistant Professor Eugene Avrutin Abstract ―Parallel Ruptures: Jews of Bessarabia and Transnistria between Romanian Nationalism and Soviet Communism, 1918-1940,‖ explores the political and social debates that took place in Jewish communities in Romanian-held Bessarabia and the Moldovan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic during the interwar era. Both had been part of the Russian Pale of Settlement until its dissolution in 1917; they were then divided by the Romanian Army‘s occupation of Bessarabia in 1918 with the establishment of a well-guarded border along the Dniester River between two newly-formed states, Greater Romania and the Soviet Union. At its core, the project focuses in comparative context on the traumatic and multi-faceted confrontation with these two modernizing states: exclusion, discrimination and growing violence in Bessarabia; destruction of religious tradition, agricultural resettlement, and socialist re-education and assimilation in Soviet Transnistria. It examines also the similarities in both states‘ striving to create model subjects usable by the homeland, as well as commonalities within Jewish responses on both sides of the border. Contacts between Jews on either side of the border remained significant after 1918 despite the efforts of both states to curb them, thereby necessitating a transnational view in order to examine Jewish political and social life in borderland regions.

  • Beit Hatfutsot's My Family Story 2020 Beth Tfiloh Curator Statements Fur
    Beit Hatfutsot's My Family Story 2020 Beth Tfiloh Curator Statements Fur Goes Far: Debra B. ‘24 This portrayal of my family’s story depicts the fur coat shop that my great-great-grandfather worked at through hardship and adversity. In August of 1904, my great-great grandfather left his family and two kids in Ukraine to escape the pogroms and other anti-Semitic acts which made it hard to live safely as a Jew there. He went and sailed on the S.S. Louis to Ellis Island and then came straight to Baltimore to look for a job. He found a job at a fur coat shop in downtown Baltimore and worked there for a while to save money to send back to his wife and two kids so they could come to Baltimore. I have recreated the fur shop using various materials and symbolism. For example, I put a small Israeli flag at my great-great-grandfather's desk to represent how he was openly Jewish in America and was proud of his religion. If the pogroms hadn’t attacked Ukraine and caused my great-great-grandfather to relocate, my family would have stayed in Ukraine, and a long line of Deitchs, Sugars, and Barrons would have never ended up in Baltimore. Fur goes far. I am surprisingly grateful things worked out the way they did, as I would not have met the people who inspire me, and I would have never found my home sweet home. The Empire Rival: Hannah B. ‘24 My Family Story display shows the ship that my great-grandparents, their two children, and my great-great-aunt and uncle were on.

    I-B-3 THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK Appointment of Michael Shub as Distinguished Professor at City College WHEREAS, Professor Michael Shub is an internationally recognized leader in dynamical systems and computational complexity; and WHEREAS, In addition to over 95 peer-reviewed journal articles, three authored or co-authored books and one edited book, 5 patents and over 100 invited addresses, Professor Shub was elected Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2016, Fellow of the Fields Institutes in 2010 and Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2000; now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York appoint Michael Shub as Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at City College effective November 1, 2018, with compensation of $28,594 per annum in addition to his regular academic salary, subject to financial ability. EXPLANATION: One of his reviewers notes that Professor Shub “has, over several decades, made invaluable research contributions on well-known hard problems. Moreover, he has played a seminal role in constructing bridges between two foundational scientific areas of great research interest, dynamical systems and computational complexity; and his creative works on these have been very influential both in pure mathematics and in theoretical computer science. They’re also valuable for the study of chaotic phenomena in current physics, with yet further applications.” Another notes that “Mike Shub is very creative and plays the role of pioneer. He has proposed questions and ideas which have opened important new directions and that have been developed by large groups of dynamicists.

Introduction A dynamical system is ergodic if it preserves a measure and each measurable invariant set is a zero set or the complement of a zero set. No measurable invariant set has intermediate measure. See also Section 6. The classic real world example of ergodicity is how gas particles mix. At time zero, chambers of oxygen and nitrogen are separated by a wall. When the wall is removed the gasses mix thoroughly as time tends to innity.
