Aclelman, Escj 72 Financial Report 75 Membership List 76 Rhode Island Jewish Historical Notes PREFACE In what way does the story of the Jew in America differ from the story of the Jew in other lands? In one important respect. In America, unlike other lands, the Jew was present at the very beginning of things. An Asser Levy in New Amsterdam, a Mordecai Campanall in Rhode Island, an Adolph Sutro arriving in a covered wagon in San Francisco. The number involved is not important. It is important that the Jew was there. It is important that he must be counted as one of the melange of peoples who began the building of America. In Providence, 1854 marks a dual anniversary: Lhe centennial of the first Jewish congregation in Providence and the Tercentenary of Jews in the United States. We observe these events—in part, at least— in order to remind our neighbors of our early presence in this land; and to remind ourselves that religious concernments stimulated the first organized endeavor by Jews in this land—whether it was a syna- gogue, an all-clay school or a cemetery, the concernment was religious.

  • WE SEND OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO… …Professor Uri Shaked on His Declaration As the Winner of the 2017 Israel Prize in Engineering
    WE SEND OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO… …Professor Uri Shaked on his declaration as the winner of the 2017 Israel Prize in Engineering The President of the Israeli Association for Automatic Control (IAAC* a Full Member of IAIN) has sent the following for which we are most grateful: Professor Uri Shaked from the Department of Electrical Engineering-Systems, The Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering, Tel Aviv University, is the recipient of the 2017 Israel Prize in Engineering. Professor Shaked is a world-renowned leading scientist in control theory. His groundbreaking contributions to modern optimal control in the presence of uncertainties are pivotal in many engineering disciplines, ranging from automatic flight control to stability of distributed systems for energy management. Control design and analysis methods derived by Professor Shaked are adopted in a wide range of industrial applications, including the defence industry in Israel. Professor Shaked is also acknowledged for his significant contributions to the broadening of science and technology education in Israel. He played a leading role in establishing academic engineering colleges in Israel that contributed to the accessibility of academic education to diverse communities. It is understood that the prize will be awarded at the Israel Prize Ceremony on 2 May 2017, in Jerusalem. * The Israeli Association for Automatic Control. IAAC’s main goal and focus is the promotion of Automatic Control theory, practice, and education in Israel. See: www.iaac.technion.ac.il This web site presents an overview of IAAC, describes its organized meetings and workshops—past and present—and provides general information about control-related events and activities in Israel.

By using their own media forms, the dissidents •• were able to break the government's monopoly on information. More importantly, they •• used the media technologies to advocate for their two key, interconnected goals of •• glasnost, or openness, and the rule of law. The dissidents made two main arguments. •• First, that glasnost was integral to creating an equitable and fair justice system. Second, that speaking truth was legal and not something the government could prosecute. •• • Glasnost served as both a rallying cry and as a weapon. The dissidents called for openness, but also used their media outlets to expose events the government wished to ••• keep quiet. • In choosing the two mantras of legality and glasnost, the dissidents consciously put themselves in the shadow of previous groups of Russian reformers who had the same ••• demands. They placed themselves in a historical debate. The dissidents also sought to •• differentiate their version of glasnost, complete openness, from various government •• leaders' definitions of the term. •• This thesis seeks to explore the way dissident media outlets forced the dual goals •• of glasnost and respect for the rule of law. It will examine the causes and forms of dissident media, and their relationship to the idea of legality.

Abstract: The problem of designing gain-scheduled filters with guaranteed induced ℓ∞ norm for the estimation of the state-vector of finite dimensional discrete-time parameter-dependent Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Systems systems is considered. The design process applies a lemma which was recently derived by the authors of this paper, characterizing the induced ℓ∞ norm by Linear Matrix Inequalities. The suggested filter has been successfully applied to a guidance motivated estimation problem, where it has been compared to an Extended Kalman Filter. 1 INTRODUCTION response and an upper-bound on the ℓ1-norm of its transfer function (see (Dahleh and Pearson, 1987)).
