    "My Last Paper for Nora" by Stephen Fried

    My Last Paper for Nora Notes on the passing of Penn’s one-woman journalism school By Stephen Fried (original version published in Philadelphia magazine, May 1991) Nora Magid wasn’t like the other humans. No student ever forgot that first day in Nora’s classroom at Penn. She was invariably dressed in an inside-out sweatshirt adorned with a strand of pearls. Baggy pants and beat-up moccasins with no socks completed the ensemble. Her cheeks were redundant with rouge, her full lips bright with red lipstick, and most of her long graying hair was piled high on her head. Dropping her canvas bag on the floor, she sat cross- legged on top of her wooden desk, lit a cigarillo, took a few puffs from it, and then either crushed it out on her shoe and returned it to the pack or just crushed it out in the pack itself. Then she began to speak--her voice deep and musical and almost cartoonish--and this improbable woman of unguessed age and background would proceed to provoke the hell out of 20 or so teenagers, who never imagined that they would ever take education so personally or that a teacher could ever take her students’ ideas so seriously. Nominally, Nora Magid was teaching freshman English—until 1977, when her students stunned her by begging the department to let her offer another, higher-level course. Then she was nominally teaching Advanced Expository Writing—“Advanced writing, what is it,” she would joke, “longer words, longer sentences?”—which remained her official duty until she died suddenly in March, 1991.

Abstract Game development is an interdisciplinary concept that embraces artistic, software engineering, management, and business disciplines. The growth of the digital game industry is enormous and gaining importance day by day. This growth imposes severe pressure and a number of issues and challenges on the game development community. In addition to functional and technological requirements, game development includes other factors that are equally important to the success of any game project. Game development is considered as one of the most complex tasks in software engineering. Hence, for successful development of good- quality games, the game developers must consider and explore all related dimensions as well as discussing them with the stakeholders involved.

    Rush: Revolution, Madness, and Benjamin Rush, the Visionary Doctor Who Became a Founding Father by Stephen Fried - 10-17-2018 by Rev. Joe Dirt - Curmudgeon Alley - http://www.curmudgeon-alley.com Rush: Revolution, Madness, and Benjamin Rush, the Visionary Doctor Who Became a Founding Father by Stephen Fried by Rev. Joe Dirt - Wednesday, October 17, 2018 http://www.curmudgeon-alley.com/rush-revolution-madness-and-benjamin-rush-the-visionary-doctor- who-became-a-founding-father-by-stephen-fried/ I’ve been fascinated by Benjamin Rush ever since as a grade schooler, I realized that there was a signature on the Declaration of Independence with the same last name as mine, Rush. Rush is not the commonest of last names. Of course, I fantasized that he might be a direct ancestor or other relation. At that time there had not been a lot of genealogy done on my family. Since then I have discovered that we are related, not closely, but related. We are 3rd cousins 6 generations removed. We share a common ancestor, Capt. John “Old Trooper” Rush. What is interesting about John Rush is that he was a captain in Oliver Cromwell’s army. If you remember your English history, Cromwell briefly established a republic in Great Britain in the 1650s. Capt. Rush later immigrated to the Pennsylvania colony. There are several reasons that Benjamin Rush has been assigned to the second tier of founding fathers. Stephen Fried in his book Rush: Revolution, Madness, and Benjamin Rush, the Visionary Doctor Who Became a Founding Father, argues that this is an injustice.
