That is why the Museum must reach new audiences in new ways. And that is why our unique approach is so important, for we are focusing not only on how the Holocaust happened but also on why it happened. What creates a climate where hate prevails? Why do societies collapse? What role do we each play in creating a just society? With mobile connectivity changing how people learn and access knowledge, we launched the Museum’s first mobile learning tool The answer to why the Holocaust happened is more complex as part of our initiative on Nazi propaganda. Funded through the than a story of perpetrators, victims, and bystanders. The generosity of the Robert H. Smith Foundation, the tool enables young people to text with a Holocaust survivor and learn how to alarming truth is that one need not hate to be complicit and recognize propaganda techniques—the first step in resisting them. that human nature is always susceptible to the abuse of power. And in today’s world where hate—and the indifference that enables it—is more dangerous than ever, the lessons of the Holocaust are even more urgent. 2011 HIGHLIGHTS The Museum is inspiring diverse We continued working on our groundbreaking new exhibition on collaboration and complicity. Scheduled to open in April 2013, it has audiences—especially young the potential to create a paradigm shift in how we teach the Holocaust. people and leaders—to think and We translated our online Holocaust Encyclopedia into Korean and Bahasa Indonesia.

The Father of the House in the current (2019) Parliament is Sir Peter Bottomley, who was first elected to the House in a by-election in 1975. Under Standing Order No 1, as long as the Father of the House is not a Minister, he takes the Chair when the House elects a Speaker. He has no other formal duties. There is evidence of the title having been used in the 18th century. However, the origin of the term is not clear and it is likely that different qualifications were used in the past. The Father of the House is not necessarily the oldest Member.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Hedge Fund Billionaires Attack the Hudson Valley Wall Street Goes All in to Save Tax Breaks for the Wealthy
    HEDGE PAPERS No.39 HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRES ATTACK THE HUDSON VALLEY WALL STREET GOES ALL IN TO SAVE TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY Hedge funds and billionaire hedge fund managers are destroying our economy, corrupting our government, hurting families and communities and exploding inequality. It’s happening all over America, and increasingly all over the world. And now it’s happening in the Hudson Valley. A tiny group of hedge fund billionaires have targeted the congressional campaign in the 19th House District of New York, spending millions of dollars to support GOP candidate John Faso and attack Democratic candidate Zephyr Teachout. SIX HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRES HIT THE HUDSON VALLEY WITH $5.5 MILLION IN CAMPAIGN CASH The amount of campaign cash is amazing: we’ve found that six billionaire hedge fund managers from New York City, Connecticut and Long Island have given $5,517,600 to PACs and Super PACs active in the Teachout-Faso campaign in this electoral cycle. These same six men have given $102,768,940 in federal and New York state campaign contributions in the past two decades. They’re not doing it for nothing -- they want something in return. These hedge fund billionaires and their colleagues at hedge funds and private equity firms get billions of dollars in special tax breaks under the “carried interest loophole” – and they want to keep the loophole wide open. Closing the loophole would save the federal government an estimated $18 billion per year, according to an analysis by law professor Victor Fleischer.[1] But huge sums of lobbying and campaign cash directed at Congress – and Congressional candidates – by hedge funds and private equity firms have stymied reform in Washington and fueled continued obstructionism.

  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

The Program Review Committee needs as much information as possible to evaluate the past and current performance, assessment, and planning of your program. Please attach your Department Statistics Report (DSR) and your planning report with your Program Review. 1) Relevancy: This section assesses the program’s significance to students, the college, and the community. 1a) To provide context for the information that follows, describe the basic functions of your program.

  • Resignations and Removals: a History of Federal Judicial Service-And Disservice-1789-1992
    RESIGNATIONS AND REMOVALS: A HISTORY OF FEDERAL JUDICIAL SERVICE-AND DISSERVICE-1789-1992 EMILY FIELD VAN TASSEL- Thomas Jefferson's dismay over the failed impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase in 1805 led him later to complain that "impeachment is not even a scarecrow."1 Subse- quent events have proven Jefferson wrong. Although the full panoply of the impeachment process has been used rarely, its existence has given Congress an impressively big stick to wield in persuading miscreant judges to leave the bench.2 Since Jefferson's time, our experience has suggested two important conclusions about judicial discipline and removal. The first is that investigations, threats of investigations, and threats of impeachment can be very powerful tools in inducing judges to resign from office voluntarily. The second is that these tools have a great potential for misuse. Judicial independence is a core value supported by the constitu- tional structure of the federal judiciary. The appointment process, salary protection, and removal mechanism are all means to ensure that federal judges be independent and impartial in their decision- t Visiting Associate Professor, Widener University School of Law. This Article is dedicated to the memory of my brother, Dirck Van Tassel. An earlier version of this Article was prepared as a report to the National Commission onjudicial Discipline and Removal, while I was Associate Historian with the Federal judicial History Office of the Federal Judicial Center. The views and conclusions expressed in this Article are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of the FederalJudicial Center, which, on matters of policy, speaks only through its Board.
