  • Highlander: the Card Game
    Highlander: the Card Game Advanced Deck Construction Guide Does the card have a use? The first question is easy. If a card has a desired effect, then it is useful. Depending on what kind of deck I’m making, though, various cards that have no use in one deck become immensely useful in another: Holy Ground: Avoid Attacks is one of those cards that is very useful, but even more useful with Nefertiri, for example. Plot cards, which I find useless in most decks, are perfect for Xavier. The temptation sometimes is to toss in a card that doesn’t really enhance the deck, but does something interesting. I mean, I could put a Darius/Shooting Blade into all my decks, but it clashes with a lot of my deck themes: Amanda wouldn’t use one, though Luther might. So, a lot of the thought I put into certain cards stems from the type of deck I want to play. I don’t care if the deck wins, as long as it does what I want it to do. Is there a better card that does the same thing? Generally, I like to be able to play the cards I have in my hand whenever I want. Many of the Event cards, though, need targets (for example, the Police: Counter Event and Remove Situation cards) before you can play them. The Xavier cards are a lot better, when you are playing him: his Plan Ahead and Forethought cards are both Situations, and can be out of your hand immediately, just waiting to be used.

  • The Moral Determinants of Health
    A program of the Center for Health Humanities and Ethics University of Virginia School of Medicine Wednesday, 3 February 2021 12:00-1:00 pm A Zoom Webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87684988960 Passcode: 763749 ______________________________________________________________ The Jessie Stewart Richardson Memorial Lecture // Medicine Grand Rounds THE MORAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH Donald M. Berwick MD MPP FRCP KBE President Emeritus and Senior Fellow Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Boston MA Marcia Day Childress PhD, moderator Health care is, in essence, a repair shop for illness, injuries, and disabilities whose causes lie outside health care. These corrosive conditions of life that generate so much human suffering are sometimes called the "social determinants of health." While powerful, these life-conditions are improvable, though they're far too much neglected today in public and private investment alike. Why don't we address them? What's in the way? In this Richardson Lecture, healthcare quality leader Dr. Donald Berwick explores that neglect and seeks sources of energy for change.

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

Obama will travel to Minneapolis, where he will ensconce himself at the Bachelor Farmer Restaurant for three successive fundraising events. Afterward, he moves on to Chicago for a fundraiser at the Chicago Cultural Center and then two events at what appear to be separate private residences. In April, Obama’s fundraising total actually declined by nearly $10 million from the $53 million he took in during March…..
