Commencement Program 2012, University of Pennsylvania 256 th COMMENCEMENT 256th COMMENCEMENT MAY 14 2012 MAY 14 MAY 2012 UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA KEEPING FRANKLIN’S PROMISE In the words of one elegiac tribute, “Great men have two lives: one which occurs while they work on this earth; a second which begins at the day of their death and continues as long as their ideas and conceptions remain powerful.” These words befit the great Benjamin Franklin, whose inventions, innovations, ideas, writings, and public works continue to shape our thinking and renew the Republic he helped to create and the institutions he founded, including the University of Pennsylvania. Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 272 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages. The first medical and business schools in the United States were launched here. And the first general-purpose electronic, digital computer – ENIAC – was invented right here at the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn, the never-ending quest for innovation and academic distinction has found perfect Franklinian expression in “The Penn Compact,” President Amy Gutmann’s bold vision for propelling our University from excellence to eminence in all our core endeavors. Fulfilling the goals of the Compact – increasing access for talented students of all backgrounds, integrating knowledge across multiple disciplines, and engaging our knowledge with communities locally and globally – is the focus of Penn’s current $3.5 billion Making History campaign, and will position the University to make the greatest possible contribution to our society and our world. Today, Penn proudly graduates a class of men and women who have shown the intelligence, drive, integrity, and character to become engaged citizens who will serve humanity with distinction. Our Penn graduates are poised to take their place as productive democratic citizens and as just and humane stewards of our world. In these challenging and perilous times, a world in need of young men and women who are willing to shoulder the moral responsibilities of leadership can look to Penn. Franklin wrote: “We may make these times better if we bestir ourselves. The noblest question in the world is ‘What good may I do in it?’” The answer to this question will be furnished by Franklin’s newest heirs, the graduates of 2012. 1 FRANKIN FIELD COMMENCEMENT SEATING Guests will find this diagram helpful in locating the approximate seating of the degree candidates.

They met at the Widow Pratt's (The Royal Standard Tavern on Market Street), selected two surveyors, and laid down rules stipulating that at least one of them survey each house and write up reports that would be discussed by the entire Board, which would make decisions about the extent and rate of insurance. Franklin named the company The Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire. Already in 1736 he had helped to found Philadelphia's first fire brigade, the Union Fire Company. The Contributinship was a mutual insurance company that pooled risks. They based its method of operation (and name) on that of the Amicable Contributionship of London, founded in 1696. The new company was conservative in its underwriting, sending surveyors to inspect each building before insuring it. Accepted properties sported fire marks: four clasped gilded hands mounted on wood plaques. The actual cost of the survey was presumably deducted from the 10 shillings earnest money paid by every person insuring in the society. This also covered the costs of the policy and the "badge" or fire mark. Insurance at this time was limited to properties in Pennsylvania located within a ten mile radius from the center of Philadelphia.

  • Arunachalasiva !
    Arunachala Siva´ ! The Trishula Sadhana Yogi Mahe´svara Khecari Devi Ashramam { Igreja Coraza~ode Jesus Christo January 2019 { khecaridevi.com Translated by Yamini (May 2019) Arunachala is a magic place: this small mountain dominating the city of Tiruvanamalai in the Tamil Nadu, south of India, is considered as Siva´ 1 himself, a large lingam. It is at the foot of this mountain that has been built the Annamalaiyar temple, one of the biggest Sivaite´ temple in the south of India, possibly during the 7th century. That is why this place hosts millions and millions of pilgrims since many centuries. In between the contemporary one of the most famous is Ramana Maharshi. He was attracted in very young age by the place and remained the whole of his life in this location, and his presence is still inhabiting and feeding his Ashram. Another worth mentioning is Yogi Ramsuratkumar and his large quantity of siddhis: one example is having spent the last 40 years of his life without washing himself! Henri Le Saux, a christian mystic monk known as well under the name of Swami Abhishktananda2 recognized in this mountain Jesus Christ's profile. I met in Arunachala a lot of people that were called to come by this place; many Indians coming from different regions as well as a lot of foreigners: americans, asians, europeans... Myself as well was blessed by being called by Arunachala Siva´ ... I had seen once Ramana's picture shown to me by a friend, but it did'nt keep my attention, one more Indian Saint... Summer 2017 during a yoga retreat in Charente the image of Ramana invites itself into my mind from the first day, and continue to manifest regularly.

Streeter Westat Stanford University Grant Miller Jonathan Wivagg Stanford University Westat & NBER April, 2021 Working Paper No. 21-022 Risk Perceptions and Protective Behaviors: Evidence from COVID-19 Pandemic.∗ M. Kate Bundorf Jill DeMatteis Grant Miller Maria Polyakova Duke University Westat Stanford University Stanford University and NBER and NBER and NBER Jialu L. Streeter Jonathan Wivagg Stanford University Westat April 28, 2021 Abstract We analyze data from a survey we administered during the COVID-19 pandemic to investigate the relationship between people's subjective risk beliefs and their protective behaviors. We report three main findings. First, on average, people substantially overestimate the absolute level of risk associated with economic activity, but have correct signals about their relative risk. Second, people who believe that they face a higher risk of infection are more likely to report avoiding economic activities. Third, government mandates restricting economic behavior attenuate the relationship between subjective risk beliefs and protective behaviors. ∗Corresponding author: Maria Polyakova ([email protected]). We are grateful to Sarah B¨ogland Aava Farhadi for excellent research assistance. We have made the de-identified survey dataset used in this manuscript available at the following link. We gratefully acknowledge in-kind survey support from Westat. 1 1 Introduction Subjective perceptions of risk guide decision making in nearly all economic domains (Hurd, 2009). While a rich theoretical literature highlights the importance of subjective beliefs for individual ac- tions, fewer studies provide empirical evidence of the link between risk perceptions and behaviors, particularly in non-laboratory settings and in high-income countries (Peltzman, 1975; Delavande, 2014; Delavande and Kohler, 2015; Mueller et al., 2021).
