The Canadian Watchman for 1932
In This Issue This T‘%entieth Century Nlaratho The Tragedy of Geneva The Adding Machine Fails Some Simple Ailments and what to Do October Oshawa, Ontario 25C • The BIBLE I and the 1 DEPRESSION By Robert E. Speer When the days are dark, men need its light. A When the times are hard, men need its comfort. • When the outlook is discouraging, men needs its confidence. When despair is abroad, men need its word of hope. There are luxuries that may well be spared. There are even necessities that can be curtailed. But the Bible, indispensable at all times, is still more indispensable in times like these today. The Bible is not a book of political maxims or of economic theories. It is not a book of maxims or theories at all. It is a book of living principles. Its spirit is the spirit of brotherliness and goodwill. It is a summons to helpful- ness: "Bear ye one another's burdens." It is a summons also to self-respecting independence: "Let every man bear his own burden." It teaches charity, but also justice. It calls us to the giving and serving which the strong owe to the weak, and those who have to those who lack; but it also strikes straight and clear at the moral defects in individuals which are responsible for a large part of the poverty and suffering of the world; and also at the moral and economic defects in society, in business relations, and in the distribution of the common • resources of the world, which are responsible for the remaining part. -
Green Illusions Is Not a Litany of Despair
“In this terrific book, Ozzie Zehner explains why most current approaches to the world’s gathering climate and energy crises are not only misguided but actually counterproductive. We fool ourselves in innumerable ways, and Zehner is especially good at untangling sloppy thinking. Yet Green Illusions is not a litany of despair. It’s full of hope—which is different from false hope, and which requires readers with open, skeptical minds.”— David Owen, author of Green Metropolis “Think the answer to global warming lies in solar panels, wind turbines, and biofuels? Think again. In this thought-provoking and deeply researched critique of popular ‘green’ solutions, Zehner makes a convincing case that such alternatives won’t solve our energy problems; in fact, they could make matters even worse.”—Susan Freinkel, author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story “There is no obvious competing or comparable book. Green Illusions has the same potential to sound a wake-up call in the energy arena as was observed with Silent Spring in the environment, and Fast Food Nation in the food system.”—Charles Francis, former director of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture Systems at the University of Nebraska “This is one of those books that you read with a yellow marker and end up highlighting most of it.”—David Ochsner, University of Texas at Austin Green Illusions Our Sustainable Future Series Editors Charles A. Francis University of Nebraska–Lincoln Cornelia Flora Iowa State University Paul A. Olson University of Nebraska–Lincoln The Dirty Secrets of Clean Energy and the Future of Environmentalism Ozzie Zehner University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London Both text and cover are printed on acid-free paper that is 100% ancient forest free (100% post-consumer recycled). -

Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Jean H. Park All Rights Reserved Abstract Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park This dissertation follows the activism of Korean students in New York City and the trajectory of their American education as it applied to Korea’s colonization under the Empire of Japan. As a focused historical account of the educational experiences of Korean students in New York from 1907 to 1937, this dissertation uses archival evidence from their associations, correspondence, publications, and the institutions they studied at to construct a transnational narrative that positions the Korean students operating within and outside the confines of their colonial experience. The following dissertation answers how the Korean students applied their American education and experiences to the Korean independence movement, and emphasizes the interplay of colonization, religion, and American universities in contouring the students’ activism and hopes for a liberated Korea.

Totally Oarsome…
Leander New s Leander Club Newslette r Winter 2010 Totally Oarsome… Leander has had another very strong year in 2010. We have produced winning crews at every level and with the World Championships less than a week away, there is promise of yet more success for Leander athletes and coaches in New Zealand. These Championships are two months later than usual to fit in with the New Zealand summer, and as a result it seems strange to be reflecting on the season thus far when it is not yet finished. One of the positives of this situation is that it reduces the amount of winter training that many of us will have to do for the 2011 season! The most recent addition to the team is Beijing silver medallist Debbie Flood, who following a training camp in Germany has been confirmed as competing in the women’s quad - the boat in which she has twice won silver at successive Olympic Games.

UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Ethical
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Ethical Consumer: Narratives of Social and Environmental Change in Contemporary American Literature A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Amanda Evelyn Waldo 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Ethical Consumer: Narratives of Social and Environmental Change in Contemporary American Literature By Amanda Evelyn Waldo Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles Professor Allison B. Carruth, Chair ABSTRACT: Consumers in the U.S. have increasingly (and often paradoxically) turned to their consumption as a space from which to address social and environmental problems that range from sweatshop labor to global warming; the diverse consumption strategies that they have embraced –boycotts, local and organic food, fair trade, downshifting and more – are all a part of a larger movement and discourse called ethical consumption. A flood of recent novels, memoirs and nonfiction books make this activist, productive, expressive kind of consumption their central theme (and in the case of several of the memoirs, their organizing conceit). The authors of these works have suggested interesting expansions of the ethical role not just of commodity consumption but of media consumption as well: the imaginative literature of ethical consumption models ethical consumption for its readers, and it sees itself shaping attitudes about consumption that will in turn shape economic, social and environmental realities in the world. The ii ambition of that project (and the enthusiasm with which readers have taken it up) lends a sense of urgency to my own. My dissertation looks at representations of ethical consumption in this growing body of imaginative literature in order to understand how and on what terms it intervenes in consumption. -
Letters to Shareholders – First 10 Years Collection 2.82 MB
Letters to Shareholders First 10 years INVESTOR DAY 21 November 2019 I’m grateful for the support you have shown Exor during our first decade as we’ve worked to change our scope, form and organization. We have, however, not changed our purpose, which is to build great companies, and we look forward to continuing to do that with your support. I have enjoyed writing our annual letters to you as they are a special moment each year to pause and learn from our past and to think about our future. Going through those letters, what is reassuring is that there has been consistency between the intentions we expressed and the outcomes we achieved - something we are determined to maintain going forward. As we have reflected on our next decade, we have spent time defining the culture we’ve created within Exor, which combines an entrepreneurial spirit, financial discipline, clarity of purpose and a set of shared values. We believe these will continue to provide us with a strong base on which to build and create value for all of our stakeholders. I would like to conclude with a special thank you to all my colleagues both within Exor and also throughout our companies for their many achievements to date and, more importantly, in anticipation of the things we will achieve together in the future. 2009 Dear Shareholders, 2009 was a very significant year for our Company. First and foremost, in March we were able to complete the merger between IFIL and IFI, the two historical holding companies listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, to create Exor, a company now 47% held by the market and 53% by Giovanni Agnelli e C., the private company fully owned by my family. -

Prentice and Waite: Combining Competition and Cooperation 1 Introduction When discussing the realities of the future of our planet, it is imperative to consider what weapons the conflicts of the future may be waged with. While man has long fought on land, sea, and sky, future conflicts very well could be in space. Given the potential for space conflict, states have begun developing space for military purposes, requiring consideration on whether or not these operations should be permissible. The exploration of space will continue to occur; the question remains whether it will be a competition or a collaboration. The future of space is like all future endeavors: uncertain, and as such, the United States would do well to hedge its bets and be prepared to embrace both, through a combination of competition and cooperation to better its situation among the stars. -
How Smart Companies Unleash Value from Their Work Spaces Business + Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association
Design Leveraged A special report: How smart companies unleash value from their work spaces business + institutional furniture manufacturers association 678 Front Ave. NW, Suite 150 Grand Rapids, MI 49504-5368 616 285 3963 222 Merchandise Mart, Suite 567 Chicago, IL 60654 Toll Free: 888 799 4432 International: +01 312 467 1950 The smartest players in Corporate America are parlaying their work spaces into a competitive advantage. Here’s how. Design, Leveraged For decades, businesses have viewed their work spaces as “overhead,” a necessary evil of spending on desks, carpet and pricy lighting. But now, smart companies are shifting their thinking on design: The firms doing the hard work to get it right are reaping the benefits right down to their bot- tom lines. Rest assured, we aren’t just talking about the eye-popping Google and Facebook offices, those kingdoms of uber-chic chaos and (dare we say) indulgence. Their designs work great — for them. But most of Corporate America doesn’t fill its seats with 20-something engineers eager to pull all-night hackathons. Why is design critical for the rest of us? Consider these three factors: Real estate costs are rising roughly 10 percent a year, a scorching war for talent is underway (and expected to worsen) and the demand for inno- vation amid global competition is acute. The workplace is where it all comes crashing together. Yet, only one in four U.S. workers say that they have optimal workplace environments, according to a 2013 survey by San Francisco-based architectural firm Gensler. So for this report, we set out to learn how business productivity and design best align. -

Pratt Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded June 2016 ii © 2016 Tara Áine Keegan iii THESIS ABSTRACT Tara Áine Keegan Master of Arts Department of History June 2016 Title: Runners of a Different Race: North American Indigenous Athletes and National Identities in the Early Twentieth Century This thesis explores the intersection of indigeneity and modernity in early- twentieth-century North America by examining Native Americans in competitive running arenas in both domestic and international settings. Historians have analyzed sports to understand central facets of this intersection, including race, gender, nationalism, assimilation, and resistance. But running, specifically, embodies what was both indigenous and modern, a symbol of both racial and national worth at a time when those categories coexisted uneasily. The narrative follows one main case study: the “Redwood Highway Indian Marathon,” a 480-mile footrace from San Francisco, California, to Grants Pass, Oregon, contested between Native Americans from Northern California and New Mexico in 1927 and 1928.
