When I or someone else has made an observation and that species is not already in the book, it may be verified and added. Clearly there are in reality many hundreds or thousands of species likely to be present at Duchess Park but not recorded here. So this book is truly a work in progress. There are many classes of insects and invertebrates not included. The intention is that effort and time will hopefully lead to more. For example, no attempt has yet been made to include worms, slugs, snails or spiders. These are all important food sources for birds, reptiles and amphibians. From an ecological perspective much remains to be done to give the book more scientific rigour.

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony. Devotional Cross-Roads Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony Edited by Hedwig Röckelein, Galit Noga-Banai, and Lotem Pinchover Röckelein/Noga-Banai/Pinchover Devotional Cross-Roads ISBN 978-3-86395-372-0 Universitätsverlag Göttingen Universitätsverlag Göttingen Hedwig Röckelein, Galit Noga-Banai, and Lotem Pinchover (Eds.)

  • California Teachers Association Advocate for Students and Public Education
    HONOREE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION The California Teachers Association is the state’s larg- est professional employee union, representing more than 325,000 public school teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers, librarians, nurses and education support professionals, among others. It has become one of the nation’s strongest advocates for students and educators, and is also a leading proponent of civil rights and economic equality. CTA has been a strong supporter of living wage policies, including LAANE’s 2008 LAX hotel living wage law. CTA has won many landmark victories in its 150-year his- tory, from legislation providing free public schools and free textbooks for all of California’s children to laws banning child labor in the state. In the 1940s, the union was one of a handful of organizations to protest the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. CTA led the critical campaign in 1988 to pass Prop. 98, the law guaranteeing minimum funding for K-12 schools and community colleges. Educators joined with parents in passing legislation to reduce class sizes in our earliest grades and led campaign efforts to pass more than $30 billion to build new schools and repair rundown facilities. CTA also played a pivotal role in defeating Gov. Schwarzeneg- ger’s 2005 ballot initiatives that would have cut school funding, undermined the due-process rights of educators and silenced the voices of public employees. Last year, CTA led the fight to pass Gov. Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which stopped $6 billion in education cuts to schools and colleges and will generate $47 billion for public schools, colleges and other essential services over the next seven years.

Beyond providing for our national security, the military installations in Oklahoma (Altus AFB, Fort Sill, McAlester Army Ammu- nition Plant, Tinker AFB, and Vance AFB) have a tremendous economic impact in the state. They are economic engines that employ Oklahomans. Illustrating the importance of these installations: • Over 69,100 military personnel, federal civilian personnel and contractors were employed at Oklahoma’s military installations in FY 2010. • These jobs, and the operations at the installations, supported an additional 64,700 jobs in Oklahoma’s economy for a total employment impact of more than 133,800 jobs in the state. • Impacts on Oklahoma’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is value-added economic activity, totaled more than $9.6 billion in FY 2010, which was more than 7% of the size of the state’s entire economy.
