My journey is not what I expected. I never wanted to work in healthcare, yet that is where It is our desire for women to know that they are enough, I began my professional career—right there alongside my dad and my brother, working for their voice matters, and that they have a place. the family business which I stated I would never do (never say never!). It was safe and secure, or They belong. YOU BELONG. so I thought. The day the family decided to sell the healthcare business was like getting the wind knocked out of me and not being able to catch my breath—in fact, I’m still not sure I’ve caught it. Two years prior, my husband, three kids and I had moved from the mid-west, away from my family and the business, to SoCal. I was able to bring my job with me which allowed us to pay our bills. We depended on that job. And then it was gone. Yes, I panicked, and anxiety and I quickly became well acquainted, but I didn’t let my fear drive me and my decisions—not all the time, at Brooke Saxon-Spencer least. I took some time while we were winding the family business down (and I was still being paid) founder + editor to reflect, read, write, pray and to just be still with this unknown future wide open before me.

This exercise allows you to paint a figurative, or even literal picture of what your life will look like in the future. These kinds of solutions are theoretically and practically impossible to implement based on c- tralised client-server architectures.

This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Author Gordon redefines the pejorative term to mean something much broader: French men and women "horizontally collaborated" to overcome all social obstacles, divisions, and regulations. He takes apart the varying responses from authorities and the discrepancies in reports, the wide range of theories, the startling fact that the plane actually turned around and flew in the opposite direction, and what solutions the aviation industry must now implement to ensure it never happens again.

    To our shareowners: The American Customer Satisfaction Index recently announced the results of its annual survey, and for the 8th year in a row customers ranked Amazon #1. The United Kingdom has a similar index, The U.K. Customer Satisfaction Index, put out by the Institute of Customer Service. For the 5th time in a row Amazon U.K. ranked #1 in that survey. Amazon was also just named the #1 business on LinkedIn’s 2018 Top Companies list, which ranks the most sought after places to work for professionals in the United States. And just a few weeks ago, Harris Poll released its annual Reputation Quotient, which surveys over 25,000 consumers on a broad range of topics from workplace environment to social responsibility to products and services, and for the 3rd year in a row Amazon ranked #1. Congratulations and thank you to the now over 560,000 Amazonians who come to work every day with unrelenting customer obsession, ingenuity, and commitment to operational excellence. And on behalf of Amazonians everywhere, I want to extend a huge thank you to customers. It’s incredibly energizing for us to see your responses to these surveys. One thing I love about customers is that they are divinely discontent. Their expectations are never static – they go up. It’s human nature. We didn’t ascend from our hunter-gatherer days by being satisfied. People have a voracious appetite for a better way, and yesterday’s ‘wow’ quickly becomes today’s ‘ordinary’. I see that cycle of improvement happening at a faster rate than ever before.

    Translating Johanna Kinkel’s Hans Ibeles in London by Angela G. Sacher A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Translation Studies Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies University of Alberta © Angela G. Sacher, 2016 Abstract The focus of this dissertation is an annotated, academic English translation of Johanna Kinkel’s nineteenth-century, semi-autobiographical novel, Hans Ibeles in London: Ein Familienbild aus dem Flüchtlingsleben, published posthumously by Cotta in 1860. Kinkel was an advocate for the emancipation of women whose career pursuits ranged from that of musical conductor, concert pianist, composer, pedagogue, and musicologist, to revolutionary and political activist and writer. Her novel, written while she lived in exile in London with her husband, Gottfried, and their four children subsequent to the 1848 revolutionary uprisings in Germany, illuminates the historical and cultural specificities of the revolution’s events and its aftermath; it sheds light on the suffering and difficulties of the exilic experience, particularly from the perspective of a woman. In writing this novel, Kinkel sought a specific literary space in which she could process her thoughts and feelings about the reality of displacement and loss. The translation of Kinkel’s novel is preceded by a critical introduction that includes an overview of theory as it applies to exile literature and highlights the parallels between the process of translation and the condition of exile, ultimately showing how Kinkel’s life becomes a project of translation. In this context, this translation invites reflection on how aspects of the exilic experience relate to the act of translation and in this way adds to the evolving body of critical commentary on Kinkel and her novel—considering it both as an object of translation into English and as a document of the problem of “translation” involved in the experience of exile.
