Lewis, RiCHMOKD, Va. ^/^y0^£^ ; PREFACE. OUR father wrote a memoir of liis son Hugli, who fell in battle, Angust 30, 1862 ; and we undertake to prepare one of him. These are two proverbially difficult tasks. The one is liable to error through ex- cessive complacency, and the other through excessive reverence. His was the more difficult task, because of the time and circumstances. His eyes were yet wet with tears the gi-ass had not grown on his son's grave ; the war, in which his young life had been quenched, was still raging. Yet he succeeded. The love of the father does not color the thoughts of the biographer. There- fore we are encouraged to undertake our task, yet not without misgiving. We do it from a sense of duty. During his last days, after he had been laid aside from regular work, he ^\Tote out some "Notes" on his life. His reason " for so doing is thus given by his own hands : It oc- curs to me that a portion of the leisure I now enjoy may be wisely spent in recording, for the good of my children, and especially for my sons who are ministers of the gospel, a few of the incidents of my earlier min- isterial life.

The Life: Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions IV. The Literature: Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions V. Notable Quotables VI. Further Reading 2 Biography I. Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois to Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway and Grace Hall Hemingway. The second of six children, Ernest enjoyed an adventurous boyhood, fishing and hunting with his father in the northern woods of Michigan. He attended Oak Park High School where he excelled in his classes, particularly English. He tried his hand at football and swimming, edited the school paper (the Trapeze), and contributed pieces to the school's literary magazine (the Tabula). After graduating high school, Ernest traveled to Kansas City and worked as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star. In 1918, he began service as an ambulance driver for the Italian army. On July 8, he was wounded at Fossalta on the Italian Piave while delivering chocolates, cigarettes, and postcards to soldiers. He married Elizabeth Hadley Richardson on September 3, 1921. The newlyweds soon entered the literary community of Paris, living off of Hadley's trust fund and Ernest's pay as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star. The 1920's were extremely productive writing years for Hemingway. Three Stories and Ten Poems was published in 1923, In Our Time in 1925. In 1926, The Torrents of Spring and the widely successful novel, The Sun Also Rises were published.

  • The Death of the Firm
    Article The Death of the Firm June Carbone† & Nancy Levit†† INTRODUCTION A corporation is simply a form of organization used by human beings to achieve desired ends. An established body of law specifies the rights and obligations of the people (including shareholders, officers, and employees) who are associated with a corporation in one way or another. When rights, whether constitutional or statutory, are ex- tended to corporations, the purpose is to protect the rights of these people.1 In the Supreme Court’s decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lob- by—and more generally in corporate and employment law—the firm as entity is disappearing as a unit of legal analysis. We use the term “firm” in this Article in the sense that Ronald Coase did to describe a form of business organization that or- ders the production of goods and services through use of a sys- tem internal to the enterprise rather than through the use of independent contractors.2 The idea of an “entity” in this sense † Robina Chair in Law, Science and Technology, University of Minneso- ta Law School. †† Curators’ and Edward D.

    The PILGRIM WILIAM WHITE PILGRIM SOCIETYWILLIAM NEWS WHITE SOCIETYEst. 2013news Est. 2013 Vol. 1, No. 1 30 April 2013 Richard S. Wheeler, Editor Dear Members of The Pilgrim William White Society: It was emotional writing this first message for our very first newsletter. We have finally joined together from all over the U.S. as the White family to honor and celebrate our dear ancestor, William White and his family, by forming The Pilgrim William White Society. We actually do not know very much about our ancestor William White. We do not know where he was born. We do not know who his parents were. We do not know where he met Susanna, or where they were married. We do not know if he and Susan- na started the voyage to New England as part of the group from Holland, or joined the voyage as part of the English group. We do know this—we all want to know more about William and Susanna. This is one of the reasons this Society was formed. Another reason for the Society is that we seem to inherently have a bond with each other and we want to know a little more about each other—our cousins, as we fondly say. In this first issue of the newsletter, the members who agreed to serve as interim officers will be introduced. We have included a short biography and picture of each one. Also included is a bio and picture of the editor of our newsletter, Richard Wheeler, to whom we are very grateful for taking on the big project of producing a newsletter four times a year, as we intend to do.

They seem to become natives of that element the black sleek heads of seals bouncing like half submerged balls. I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience who strain in the mud and muck to move things forward who do what has to be done, again and again. I want to be with people who submerge in the task, who go into the fields to harvest and work in a row and pass the bags along, who stand in the line and haul in their places, who are not parlor generals and field deserters but move in a common rhythm when the food must come in or the fire be put out The work of the world is common as mud. Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust. But the thing worth doing well done has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.

  • Design Style: Changing Dominant Design Practice Todd Cherkasky
    Design Style: Changing Dominant Design Practice Todd Cherkasky Thirteen years ago in a rural Michigan town just south of a major university, I joined a group of revolutionaries. We were well-trained and generously funded. We were organized and had strong allies in major political parties. We used sophisticated tools and techniques that changed relationships of power and control throughout the United States. We did not organize marginalized social groups through solidarity, or catalyze emerging institutional crises, or lash out at figureheads who represented power imbalances. Instead, we designed industrial automation technologies. As a computer engineer on the front lines of workplace change, I helped develop control systems in various industries from California to Maryland that polished semiconductors, painted automobiles, processed and packaged food, and injected plastic molds. To describe the engineers that I joined as revolutionaries is not entirely accurate. We were not, for example, at risk ourselves. Our design work significantly reinforced relationships of power and control in the workplace rather than disrupted them. And yet, the term “revolutionary” is at least partly accurate. We often changed everyday work life for people we never met. Our design decisions were decisions about who did what work, and how that work was done. I use the term “revolutionary” not to exaggerate the impor- tance of my work as an engineer, but to reinforce the idea that the design of common tools, machines, and artifacts is a political act. These technologies are not simply used and set aside, discarded, or forgotten. Their instrumentality is conjoined with patterns of social activity. Design processes and products are situated within social relationships, structures, and meanings, which can be resources for marginalized social groups or their representatives to 1 Langdon Winner provides an alterna- improve their condition.

    The Information Manager Vol. 7 (2)2007 Improving Performances in the Public Sector: The Scientific Management Theory of F W Taylor and Its Implications for Library and Information Services BY ABDULLAHI MUSA IBRAHIM Department of Library and Information Science, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria Abstract The need for improve performances in organization has always been a source of concern for management in both the public and the private sector. This paper sought to discuss the principle of scientific management theory as propounded by F.W. Taylor with the aim of ensuring that public services organizations adopts the principles for enhanced productivity, efficiency and the attainment of organizational objectives. The paper highlighted the principles of scientific management theory, and it explores how public service sector, notably the Library and Information Science segment in Nigeria, can benefit from its well tested principles. The main reason for the paper is the apparent inefficiency of the public sector, as observed and reported by several scholars over time. Introduction channeled in the right direction toward the desired Gardner, 1984 observed that, “in libraries we often objectives. With so much inefficiency in the Nigeria think of our roles as checking out books and public sector achieving performance improvement answering reference questions. Yet we have a lies in the adoption of systematic management, rather cathedral of knowledge in our institution. We need to than searching for unusual or extraordinary staff or orient our services to unlock that knowledge for employees. This by far, is what F. W. Taylor patrons. This gives us real challenge, a challenge that practiced years ago; that enable him to achieve requires highest level of performance, excellence and astonishing and dramatic improvements in renewal”.

  • Walt Whitman Quarterly Review
    Walt Whitman Quarterly Review http://ir.uiowa.edu/wwqr Walt Whitman: A Bibliographical Checklist William White Volume 3, Number 1 (Summer 1985) pps. 28-43 Stable URL: http://ir.uiowa.edu/wwqr/vol3/iss1/6 ISSN 0737-0679 Copyright c 1985 by The University of Iowa. BIBLIOGRAPHIES WALT WHITMAN: A Bibliographical Checklist WILLIAM WHITE There is no up-to-date descriptive bibliography of Walt Whitman. This biblio­ graphical checklist is not meant to supply that need, for it follows, with some varia­ tion, the format of First Printings of American Authors: Contributions Toward De­ scriptive Checklists, edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli and C.E. Frazer Clark, Jr. (De­ troit: Gale Research Company, 1977), in which there is no entry for Whitman. The list below is of the first printings of Whitman's books, with a few "secondary" books in which Whitman material appears, and the two important collected editions of Whitman's writings. The list of references includes those books of a bibliographical nature dealing with Whitman, the most important of which, by Frank Shay, and by Carolyn Wells and Alfred F. Goldsmith, are long out of date; and the most recent, by Scott Giantvalley and by Donald D. Kummings, are concerned with books and articles about Whitman. Although periodical matter is outside of the scope of this present list, attention might be brought to two publications of mine: Walt Whitman's Journalism: A Bib­ liography (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1969) and "Walt Whitman's Poetry in Periodicals: A Bibliography," The Sen!, 11 (Summer 1974), 31-38. Even­ tually, The Collected Writings of Walt Whitman, of which 22 volumes have so far been published by the New York University Press, will contain a full-dress Whit­ man bibliography-but that is several years away, owing in part to the enormous bibliographical problems brought on by Whitman as an unorthodox self-publisher.
