Ward Angela Wasson-Hunt 8 9 Financials One of the best things the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation can do is to help a donor deepen his or her charitable passion. We always ask, “What is important to you? What would you like to see improved in your community?” In 2007, our donors answered those questions loud and clear. They suggested more than $195 million in grants to the community—that’s $3.75 million each week! Grants were given to more than 3,600 different nonprofits ranging from arts organizations to colleges and universities, churches, synagogues and many other charitable organizations in Kansas City and beyond. Individual grants ranged from $25 to multi-million dollar investments. The Foundation also welcomed 189 new donors to our family of giving, the largest number of individuals, families and corporations to open funds in a single year. We are excited to see so many new donors actively giving back to the community and we will continue to involve even more people—of all races and ages and our entire metropolitan area, north, south, east and west—in the joy of making a difference. 2007 Greater Kansas City Community Foundation AT A GLANCE Assets ...................................................$1,118,860,724 Affiliated Trust Assets ............................ $64,863,296 Total ....................................................$1,183,724,020 Contributions ........................................$189,014,176 Total Grant Expenditures ......................$196,001,068 Operating Expenses ...................................$6,498,585 10 TYPE OF RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION GRANTS BY GEOGRAPHICAL REGION RECEIVING GRANTS 15% Public & Social Benefit $27,333,971 6% Missouri 5% Religion $11,406,944 $9,322,526 5% Community Improvement $8,994,276 5% Kansas 3% Civil Rights $10,029,682 $5,945,692 2% Health & Science $4,180,539 5% Other Services $8,407,934 23% Education 16% Philanthropy & Volunteerism $42,418,922 $29,375,078 19% United States 70% Kansas City Metropolitan Area 26% Arts & Culture $33,346,069 $127,647,829 $46,451,586 TOTAL GRANTS $182,430,524 TOTAL GRANTS $182,430,524 Kansas City Metropolitan Area includes Clay, Jackson, Johnson, Platte and Wyandotte counties.

Sometimes donors ask the Community Foundation for advice about smart charitable investments—investments that can leverage the greatest good for the future of our region. The Community Foundation engages in community leadership work for precisely that reason. The Community Foundation’s leadership work is based on the priorities articulated in the 2001 “Citistates Report” and the “Time to Get It Right” reports issued in 2005 and 2007. One of those priorities is strengthening the region’s urban education pipeline to prepare all of our children for success. If this is something that also is important to you, we certainly invite you to join us in this effort. In the 30 years since the Community Foundation was established, our donors have given more than $1.25 billion in grants to the nonprofit community. To celebrate our 30th birthday, we are sharing 30 stories about people who have carved out a place in their lives and hearts for charitable giving. We are grateful to all of our donors for making a difference in the community in their own unique ways. Thank you for making Kansas City a better place. 17 FROM COAST TO COAST: Nationally, an estimated $4.1 billion was granted by community foundations in 2007. IN KANSAS CITY: Among the 650 community foundations nationwide, your community foundation ranked 3rd for dollars given to the community in 2007. 1978 SEVEN FOUNDERS WITH A VISION GREATER KANSAS CITY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FULFILLING DREAMS THROUGH CHARITABLE GIVING ur founders believed that philanthropy is the opportunityO and responsibility of everyone, not just a few.

  • Lovecraft's Terrestrial Terrors: Morally Alien Earthlings
    7 ARTIGO http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/abusoes.2017.27816 01 LOVECRAFT’S TERRESTRIAL TERRORS: MORALLY ALIEN EARTHLINGS Greg Conley (EKU) Recebido em 05 mar 2017. Greg Conley is Adjunct Instructor of Humanities, Aprovado em 30 mar 2017 Ph.D. in Literary and Cultural Studies, MFA in Creative Writing, of the Department of Languages, Cultures, and Humanities. Expert Areas: Victorian Literature; Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror. Email: gregory. [email protected]. Abstract: Lovecraft’s cosmic horror led him to create aliens that did not exist on the same moral spectrum as humanity. That is one of many ways Lovecraft’s work insists humans do not matter in the cosmos. However, most of the work on Lovecraft has focused on the space aliens, and how they are necessarily alien to humans, because they are from other worlds. Lovecraft’s terrestrial aliens, such as the Deep Ones, the Old Ones, and the Shoggoths, are less alien, but just as morally strange. Lovecraft used biological horror to create his terrestrial aliens, and in turn used them to claim that morality was a product of human evolution and history. A life form with a separate evolutionarily history would necessarily have a separate and incomprehensible morality. Lovecraft illustrates that point with narrators who are ultimately sympathetic with the aliens, despite the threat they pose to the narrators and to everything they have ever known. Keywords: Fiction; Cosmic horror; Biologic horror. REVISTA ABUSÕES | n. 04 v. 04 ano 03 8 ARTIGO http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/abusoes.2017.27816 Resumo: O horror cósmico de Lovecraft o conduziu a criar alienígenas que não existem no mesmo escopo moral da humanidade.

Peter the Great and His Changing Identity Senior History Honors Thesis May 11, 2016 Emiley Pagrabs Pagrabs 1 Introduction Well aware of the perception that foreigners held of him, Peter the Great would never apologize for his nationality or his country. A product of his upbringing, Peter did have some qualities that many foreigners criticized as barbaric and harsh. Said Peter: They say that I am cruel; that is what foreigners think of me, but who are they to judge? They do not know what the situation was at the beginning of my reign, and how many were opposed to my plans, and brought about the failure of projects which would have been of great benefit to my country obliging me to arm myself with great severity; but I have never been cruel…I have always asked for the cooperation of those of my subjects in whom I have perceived intelligence and patriotism, and who, agreeing with my views, were ready to support them.1 Essentially, Peter I was simply a Russian.

  • “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of the Hardball Times December 21, 2004
    “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of The Hardball Times December 21, 2004 At its inception, the most successful expansion franchise in pre-free agency baseball history didn’t impress many observers. The Kansas City Royals devoted most of their expansion draft picks to unproven young players, in distinct contrast to the approach taken by their companion A.L. expansion team, the Seattle Pilots. Take a look at the first ten choices of each club, noting each player’s age and major league experience as of the October 15, 1968 draft: Royals: Player Age ML Seasons ML Experience 1.
