"In Loco Parentis" was also discussed by Dr. Gordon Lell, with an interesting suggestion regarding visitation policies.

Therefore, sep- arate policies could apply for the two different groups [i.e., increased hours for seniors]. The weekend was tied to- gether at the President's Hour, where Paul Dovre spoke on the importance of building a "caring A fund-raising drive is planned for possible rennovation or replacement of the Art, Biology and Home Economics buildings. community" at Concordia. Editorial Guest editorialist: Karen Franzmeier A positive editorial?! Amidst the many controversies and criticisms, occasionally one should acknowledge the gratifying aspects of a school. Take, for example, the teachers and administrators who were willing to sacrifice a weekend from their families and busy schedules to spend time with students discussing issues pertinent to Concordia's future. I'm speaking of the staff-student retreat held in Bemidji this past weekend. Staff and students, with diverse areas of knowledge and interest, were able to meet and share ideas on an equal level with mutual respect given to each side. In addition to the discussions, there was "play time" during the retreat. There is a sense of exhileration in seeing "our own" Loren Anderson in jeans and hearing Larry Falk's imitation of President Dovre! Things may never again be the same for those who witnessed these events. A caring community is a possibility only if it is made up of caring people. And the retreat was certainly evidence of this at Concordia. Descry by Linda J.

  • Pawns in the Game
    PAWNS IN THE GAME BY WILLIAM GUY CARR (1956) This book was written by a high ranking Canadian naval officer with connections in both military and intelligence agencies. He identifies a group of 'International Bankers' as the "secret power" behind world revolutions, and documents the history of their activities as they fund wars and upheavals from Cromwell to WWII. He covers wars and revolutions throughout Europe from 1640 to 1940, but of special interest are his insights into the Spanish Civil War (1936) and events leading to WWII, since these are not well covered in most other accounts.

  • A Post-Structuralist Viewpoint on Evidence-Based Medicine
    A post-structuralist viewpoint on evidence-based medicine by Brian Walsh Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Otago 2012 ii Abstract BACKGROUND: Evidence-based medicine has made a remarkable contribution by organizing and processing overwhelming amounts of information. Furthermore, some tests and treatments have been shown by EBM to be inappropriate. However, evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been criticised on four fronts. 1. It is reductive. 2. It is undertheorised. 3. It lacks RCT evidence for the method as a whole. 4. It was, at first, totalising. AIM: This work aims to provide a viewpoint on EBM from the writings of three twentieth century French philosophers, often described as “post-structuralist”. METHOD: Employing discourse analysis, I use A Thousand Plateaus and Anti- Oedipus, written by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, to develop a post-structuralist viewpoint on EBM. In Part Two I use The Birth of the Clinic and Power/Knowledge by Michel Foucault to provide a slightly different post-structuralist viewpoint on EBM. RESULTS: The Deleuzian teaching on smooth space (versus striated space) and nomadic science (versus State science) celebrates a less structured approach to medicine than that provided by EBM. This latter is viewed as part of a State science discourse in which knowledge and power are combined in a regime of truth. According to EBM, although medicine has a number of disciplines contributing to it, epidemiology provides the best evidence. But this work draws on the distinction between State science and nomadic science to feature the struggle in which the voices of disciplines other than epidemiology are quietened with regard to what constitutes “evidence”.

  • “South Africa's 800” by Henry Katzew
    SOUTH AFRICA’S 800 The Story of South African Volunteers in Israel’s War of Birth by Henry Katzew Compiled and produced by Maurice and Marcia Ostroff from Henry Katzew’s original manuscript Edited by Joe Woolf Key to the Front Cover Top to bottom: • The famous Haganah immigrant ship S.S Exodus 1947, in which 4500 refugees were forcibly returned to Hamburg in September 1947. (See foreword & Palestine Post article page 23) • Boris Senior in a Spitfire constructed from bits and pieces. • A group of Machalniks, in the Tank Corps. • A column of the 9th Palmach, Commando Battalion. Revised and reprinted November 2003 COPYRIGHT© All rights reserved No part of this document may be reproduced by any means whatsoever, except with the prior express written permission of the South African Zionist Federation. Correspondence should be addressed to: Telfed, 19/1 Schwartz Street, Ra’anana, 43212 Israel Telephone +972 9-7446110 Fax + 972 9-7446112 E-mail: [email protected] About this book “South Africa’s 800” is about Machal, the collective Hebrew acronym for volunteers from abroad and about individual volunteers, colloquially known as Machalniks. The book reveals details never previously documented and provides a valuable new perspective on Israel’s birth and struggle for survival. It includes eye witness reports by active participants in the events. While written mainly through South African eyes, the book also contains gripping anecdotes about volunteers from the USA, Britain and other countries. It throws new light on important events and personalities of the time. In his engaging eloquent style, Henry Katzew takes the reader on a fascinating expedition through recent historical events including: • Adventures of 8 young South Africans in their ill-fated attempt to bypass British restrictions on immigration to Palestine, by travelling overland from Pretoria.

  • Picturesque England.Pdf
    1 2 3 t would require much more than a single volume to describe all the picturesque spots in our native land. But as far as space permitted, we believe we have given descrip- tions of all those places in England - whether towns, castles, manors, forests, lakes, or mountains - that are especially remarkable or that have either historical memories or poetic and romantic legend and lay associated with them. Nearly every rood of ground in our country has some glorious or pathetic mem- ory attached to it; its battlefields, its scenes of tragic events, or of happier associations, unite in giving a subtile charm to the land ”set in the silver sea.” In order to give a fair picture of our country, we have sought for the picturesque in each of its forty counties; devoting generally three articles to each; but of course increasing the number of descriptions in those counties that have the greatest claim on our attention from their scenery or associations. The southern counties possess many beauties: a charming coastline, and fertile and lovely pastures. In Wiltshire are those unique and ancient memorials of the past - Stonehenge and Abury; Hampshire has its old forest famed in history, and its adjoin- ing ”isle of beauty,” the Wight; and all possess ruins of fine old castles and abbeys, and two of our finest cathedrals - Canterbury and Winchester. The shires round London are well called the Home Counties, for there is a great home charm in their quiet pastures and well-wooded lands; while in the very centre of our country our greatest poet was born, in lovely Warwickshire.

  • World War III – the Military Defeat of America
    mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com World War III – The Military Defeat of America INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to show there is a reasonable basis using strategic studies (the science of warfare) to believe that America will suffer defeat at the hands of any one of the three totalitarian power blocs on the earth: Russia, China, or Islam. Most will scoff at the possibility America could be defeated in battle. The purpose of this paper is to show the defeat of America is not only possible it is likely. The only question is when it will occur. In fact, world events leading to this defeat are now in motion. KEY INSIGHT In nature the big fish eat the little fish. The greater the size difference between the creatures the more likely it is the smaller creature will chose to run away from the larger creature. This is the law of the ocean and the law of the jungle. The little fish knows it cannot fight the big fish. The little fish flees at the sight of the big fish and seeks the comfort of other small fish to provide a sense of security. The big fish manoeuvre the little fish into a tight circle by swimming threateningly around them. When the little fish are trapped, the big fish swim directly into the dense mass of small fish and fill their hungry bellies. America knows it needs a coalition, a company of smaller nations, to fight the big totalitarian powers. This is not a winning strategy. 1 | P a g e mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com WORLD MILITARY BALANCE OF POWER To simplify the scale and sophistication of world military forces we will reduce global armies to the iconic pieces on a chess board.

    Oral History of Ken Thompson Interviewed by: John Mashey Recorded: February 8, 2005 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X3091.2005 © 2006 Computer History Museum Oral History of Ken Thompson Q: I am John Mashey; I'm a trustee at the Computer History Museum. It's my pleasure to interview Ken Thompson about his involvement with computer chess over the years. So Ken, welcome to the Museum. Ken Thompson: Oh thank you very much, thanks for inviting me. Q: Oh sure. So let's start at the beginning. Where are you from, where did you go to school, and how much game playing did you do before you got to college? Ken Thompson: Oh, going way back. Q: Yes, all the way. Ken Thompson: My father was military and the technical term for that is Navy brat, so I was a Navy brat for the first 20 years of my life. And we moved all over, I never spent more than a year or two any one place. So that was high school and then I graduated high school in Chula Vista, California and went to school in Berkley and that's essentially my educational career Q: Okay. So in high school or before, or in college, what sort of involvement with games did you have, whether chess or other games? Ken Thompson: I was always interested in games. I read game books and crosswords, things like that. Chess in particular, I took up kind of the year that Bobby Fisher was mopping up in the U.S. when he was – he's about one month different age than I.
