UBS To Host Q-Series®Conference:Inflection Points Towards Sustainability: October 3 Event Brings Unique Thought Leadership from around the World to Clients and Companies
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As part of its Q-Series® initiative, UBS is proud to host Inflection Points Towards Sustainability on October 3 at Bloomberg headquarters in New York City. The conference will focus on Inflection Points, defined as accelerating rates of system-wide change that alter the manner in which industry leaders think and act. With the Q-Series® initiative, UBS aims to assist investing clients by bringing to bear the full intellectual capacity of the firm to aggressively anticipate and answer the pivotal questions that need to be addressed in the context of the investment process.
For this event, UBS has brought together an exceptional collection of speakers and panelists including Harvard Business School Professor Michael Porter and Whole Foods Market co-founder and co-CEO John Mackey. Also presenting at the conference are thought leaders from the following companies/organizations: ADP, Alcoa, American Electric Power, BASF, BlackRock, Bunge, Cisco, EMC, Gale International, GMI Ratings, Intel, Jabil, KKR, Marks & Spencer, Morgan Stanley, Nestle, Novo Nordisk, NYSE, PepsiCo, PIMCO, Rio Tinto, Siemens, Starwood Hotels, Verizon, Viacom/MTV and World Resources Institute.
The discussions facilitated by the speakers will explore a number of issues around impact investing and address questions posed by both clients and companies. Some of these include:
- What should investors consider as they make investment decisions, and create partnerships with financial advisors?
- How have companies changed the way they do business as they work to navigate environmental, social and governance issues?
- What are the identifiable inflection points that will drive industry change within the next decade?
- How are businesses and government reacting globally to identifiable inflection points and preparing for those inflection points that are currently unidentifiable?
- What defines corporate resilience and how can it be measured?
- What are granular examples of companies addressing inflection points through sustainable business strategy and operations?
Erika Karp, UBS Head of Global Sector Research, stresses the need for these types of discussions in an ever-changing financial landscape. "Company business models are evolving every day as they attack the risks and opportunities coming from massive structural changes," Erika explains. "At this Conference, we will dig into themes and examples of business tactics which respond to the advent of mobile broadband and social media, the changing nature of consumption, the necessity to best leverage all forms of capital (financial, human, natural), and the convergence of governance and operating functions across industries. Great investment ideas come from looking for "Inflection Points" across regions, across sectors - places where the rate of change is accelerating and companies are taking action."

retirement speech - about retiree, has ideas that you are welcome to copy. You will learn how to create a speech
and deliver it successfully.
There are two types of retirement speeches. There is the speech that is given about the retiree and the speech given by the retiree. They are similar.
(The first part of this page is identical to: Sample Retirement Speech - By Retiree. If you have already read that page scroll down to I'm Here To Talk About The Retiree!)
To be effective each speaker must know the audience, that is, who will hear the speech. S/he must, also, be familiar with the room and sound system. You will want to know if this is a formal or an informal occasion?
Next, the speaker needs to be familiar with the material to be delivered. To do so, s/he must practice and be relaxed during the speech. Remember, the audience wants you to succeed.
A retirement speech, or any speech, should not be read or ad-libbed. It is much better to have some "bullet points" on index cards and practice the speech in front of someone who can give you honest feedback.
Retirement can be an emotional time. No longer having a work schedule, among other things, can be a big positive. Whereas, leaving the co-workers behind can be sad.
"There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave." DALE CARNEGIE
The number one quality of a retirement speech is sincerity. That is crucial at this memorable event. Without it the speech will fail, as the audience will quickly realize what is lacking.
It must be upbeat, yet respectful. This is not the time to get even with a callous boss or a disruptive employee. And the boss should not use the occasion to reprimand the retiree.
Everyone is unique. There are many things to say about any person. There may be humorous stories or incidents that have occurred over the years. Use them as a way to introduce humor into your speech.
Keep your speech brief. Franklin D. Roosevelt probably said it best: "Be sincere; be brief; be seated".
How long should your speech be? If you are an entertaining
and interesting speaker, limit it to 7 minutes. If you are average, 3 to 5
minutes is better.
Keep in mind the Gettysburg Address is only 272 words and the Declaration of Independence is 300 words.
Be careful with humor unless you are a natural comedian. You should know this by retirement time. You can tell a story and then say: "It seemed like a good idea at the time". Always avoid any "inside jokes" that only a small percentage of your audience will understand.
"How To Become The Jack Of All Travel" is your gateway into the world of free travel, seasonal travel jobs, and voluntourism at home and abroad, perfect for those seeking to live their own real-life adventures like Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat, Pray, Love.

If you're in the process of planning your very first ski trip, you may be wondering what to wear. Whether you plan on traveling to Colorado to hit the slopes or you're starting your skiing career off on a Midwest bunny hill, there are many things you should bring with you to ensure you are warm and comfortable on your trip.
At Vertical Drop, we're proud to offer some of the best ski equipment the market has to offer. We have two flagship retails stores, one in Loveland and one in Zanesfield, Ohio, where you can shop for snowboarding and skiing accessories. We also offer an online store where you can browse our products with ease. If you have any questions about our skiing apparel, reach out to our friendly staff today.
What To Wear On The Slopes
If you're planning a ski trip in Colorado, you'll want to do your best to layer your clothing. Layering gives you the flexibility to add or remove different items of clothing, so you can adjust your apparel to suit the weather conditions and your activity level. Skiing can be hard work on your body, and you'll likely start sweating after a few runs down the mountain. There are a few different layers you should consider for your upcoming ski trip. Let's take a look at some of them below.
The Wicking Layer
The wicking layer is the layer of clothing that should be worn next to your skin. When most people think of this layer, they tend to think of long underwear. If you're shopping for long underwear, make sure to purchase a pair that is made of a synthetic fiber (like polyester) for its "wicking" power. Wearing a synthetic fabric will wick (or move) moisture away from your skin so it can evaporate more quickly. This is important when you're skiing because it will keep you dry and comfortable as you zoom down the mountain.
The Insulating Layer
The insulating layer should be the middle layer of your clothes. This layer can include items like sweatshirts, vests, and pullovers. Since the wicking layer is meant to keep you dry, the insulating layer is meant to keep you warm. When shopping for insulating layers, consider materials like fleece and wool. These materials will maintain their insulating ability even if they get wet.
The Protection Layer
The protection layer of your winter wardrobe should also be viewed as your exterior layer. This layer should be able to repel water from snow, rain, and sleet, and it should be able to block harsh winds. A sturdy winter jacket and waterproof snow pants can help you to keep moisture out of your other layers.
Before you hit the slopes for the first time, make sure you have the proper headwear. Helmets and knit hats tend to be the go-to options when it comes to keeping your head warm. Protecting your eyes is also important, as snow, ice, and sleet can fly up in your face as you make tight turns and stops. Sunglasses can work on sunny days, but goggles will provide the best protection against the elements.
One item of clothing you don't want to forget on your ski trip is a good pair of socks. Before you grab a pair of old cotton socks, look for socks that are made from a more breathable material. You'll want a pair of slim-fitting socks, as a large pair may shift during the day, changing the fit of your ski boots.
Ski Helmet
A ski helmet should be a necessary component of your winter ski wardrobe. A helmet's main function is to protect your head from injury, and there's no reason not to wear one. These days, ski helmets are more affordable than ever, and they come in a variety of colors and styles. If you're afraid that your head will get cold under your helmet, you can always purchase a helmet liner or thin cap for an extra layer of insulation.
Vertical Drop: Your Partner In Quality Ski & Snowboarding Gear
If you live in Loveland or Zanesfield, Ohio and you're looking to purchase quality ski and snowboarding gear, look no further than Vertical Drop. In addition to our ski gear, we also offer ski and snowboard tune-ups, ski binding installation, waxing, and ski and boot repair.

Need cheering up? A funny video, a great joke, a hilarious story? Well, you have come to the right place!
Here at egg.st we live for entertainment. Life is just too short not to get a laugh out of it. Enter at your own risk because here we have one of the finest collections of anything and everything we could find to tap that funny bone. From stories and anecdotes, through to hilarious memes (Grumpy cat anyone?) and inappropriate jokes, we have something for every laughter connoisseur out there.
Laughter is a Serious Matter
Many of you will have heard the old adage, 'laughter is the best medicine,' and take it with a pinch of salt, but in fact, although we are a humour site, we follow this in earnest. Laughing elevates you though may be not to the ceiling grabbing heights of Mary Poppins. But it does lower blood pressure, it releases stress and tension. It releases endorphins and the body's own natural pain killers.
Laughter can literally wash your troubles away. At egg.st we think of ourselves as sadness doctors, providing the world with the best medicine, the greatest gift, laughter. Of course some smarty pants will probably bring up the phrase, 'die laughing,' but wouldn't that surely be the best way to go?
Rib Ticklers
There are literally hundreds of words and terms for laughing. So many different ways to do it, so many strange phrases to mean to laugh; chuckle, chortle, cackle, giggle, guffaw, snigger, and the list goes on. Then you have people rolling on the floor, creasing up, busting a gut, cracking up, splitting their sides, dissolving into laughter.
Funny, so many phrases for something so pleasurable that involve breaking a part. But a true laugh, a real laugh feels like that. The deep belly shake, tears and breathlessness that accompany a really good laugh and when it spreads. Well, they do say laughing is contagious!
But enough about that; come and join us in our quest to make the world a funnier place. The delights we have in store might have you splitting a rib or two on your journey into jollification!

Founded in 1070 by King Ly Thanh Tong, Van Mieu or the Temple of Literature hosted the primary college in Vietnam, the Imperial Academy. If utilizing the Latitude-Longitude coordinate system, ensure you realize which format you're choosing-degrees, minutes, seconds (DD MM SS); degrees, minutes, decimal minutes (DD ); or decimal degrees (). If giving Lat-Long coordinates to someone else, it's essential to read the knowledge accurately, or they might suppose, for instance, that you're giving them degrees, minutes, seconds once you're actually reading off degrees, minutes and decimal minutes.
Since the Lisbon Recognition Convention elaborated by the UNESCO and the Council of Europe , 12 degrees in Europe are being harmonised via the Bologna course of , primarily based on the three-stage hierarchy of degrees: Bachelor ( Licence in France, Poland, Portugal and Romania), Master and Doctor This system is gradually changing the two-stage system in use in some countries.
While it might be potential to land a job in a few of these fields without an English degree, having an English degree is a requirement with some employers seeking to fill writing and editing positions, and having an English degree provides one the command of the English language that is necessary to succeed and excel within the fields of writing and enhancing.
Since 1999, the traditional degrees are step by step being changed by bachelor 's (Bakkalaureus) and master 's (Master) degrees (see Bologna process ). The essential reasons for this variation are to make degrees internationally comparable, and to introduce degrees to the German system which take less time to complete (German students sometimes take five years or more to earn a Magister or Diplom).
The present system of upper education includes two sorts of increased schooling establishments, the colleges and the polytechnics, many of whom discuss with themselves as Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) ?lang=en, ?lang=en With the exception of few fields such as Medicine and Dentistry, the Finnish system of Higher training degrees is in compliance with the Bologna process.

Arrived in Lima after the orange sun transformed to blood red and disappeared over the horizon behind bands of charcoal grey clouds. Then Lima airport in the dark and a taxi driver who didn't feel like the safest bet on the road, but then again his gleaming white car had no noticeable scrapes or dents. The hacienda style hotel had open walkways through an outside cafe and past cars which could have been used by gangsters in days gone by – like the 1930's Buick in The Untouchables but which I discovered was an old and very beautiful Ford. Slept really well waking to the soft and dulcet tones of a Peruvian pigeon which has obviously been to better singing classes than any UK based pigeon. It just had so much more musical creativity in its song. So much more class!
Breakfast was delightful. It started with Andy and myself, chatting about the tour ahead over omelettes and gorgeous fruit salad. Then we were joined by Iysha from the UK but born in Canada. Loved her died white hair cropped short, fantastic white teeth and bright eyes, a great big smile and lots of mid-20's enthusiasm for life. Then along came our young Dutch man and after Andy left he was replaced by another, bigger brawnier Andy from Idaho. Conversations roamed through the Amazon jungle and her unusual offerings. Discussing the psychedelic journeys of Ayahuasca are becoming almost commonplace. Very amusing, and slightly discomfiting to discuss the greatest fears of taking it being the idea of shitting oneself in public having been unable to move from the place we're sitting!
Our young Dutchman told us his mushroom tales – of taking large doses at night and on his own. Not a reckless decision as it was based on testing his mettle. He said that he felt like an alien when taking it, rather than meeting one, and because of that it was impossible to be frightened by human fears!
I heard for the first time about frog venom from the Kambo frog. Apparently you can harvest this stuff by tickling the frogs belly, which it loves, then you inject it under your skin and it detoxifies you to a very powerful degree. I imagine these little frogs clambering out of the Amazon to lie on the beach with all their limbs akimbo waiting for their tummies to be tickled by toxic humans. Then I heard about another frog which carries a little sack of DMT on its neck and all we have to do to get a hit is lick it.
'Maybe that's what's behind the story of kissing a frog,' suggests Iysha wisely.
Andy No 2 is a Chef. Over lunch at an Arabic cafe which served the best drink I've had in years – Arabic Lemonade, he discussed how he'd cook guinea pig so it was not only delicious but easier to eat than on the little body. I may decline the offer. I'm not vegetarian but I can't eat anything I've once owned as a pet.
The afternoon was a jaunt to the movies to watch the latest Avengers film. I was expecting John Steed swirling his cane but it was a group of Marvel superhero's fighting to save the world. An amusing choice of film to start a sacred journey with. Lots of fun followed by savouring the Peruvian national drink of Pisco Sour – a foamy concoction with a serious bite. So happy I didn't accept the third as instead of the early start of 6am, I had to get up at 4am!
This phenomenally early start the next day was to get to the airport, meet up with another of the group flying in from Alaska, and fly up to Lake Titicaca ahead of the others so the two of us could have an extra day at altitude to acclimatise. I felt I'd known Tracey for years after the one and a half hour flight which descended so rapidly I wondered if the pilot had forgotten where we were landing. I imagined him in the cockpit saying, 'Oh-oh we're supposed to land at Juliaca, whoops here we go,' and hurtling us downwards.
An hours cab ride to our destination at Puno and we passed more half built buildings than I have ever seen. I haven't decided yet if this is a good sign that the region is thriving, or a bad sign that they've had to stop work. Out of several hundred semi-completed buildings I saw a maximum of three actually being worked on. It wasn't an inspiring journey, the land was bleak and flat and then all of a sudden we came upon an extraordinary University Campus with multi-coloured ultra-modern designed buildings. It was quite magical and looked totally out of place.
An hour or so later we descended down through a huddle of a town with crosses and statues of saints and condors adorning the hillsides. Once again much of the town seems to be in a state of becoming. But once we found the oasis of our hotel near the central square we felt right at peace. In fact even though I started to feel the light headedness of altitude sickness as we stood at the hotel reception I have felt wonderfully content and safe here.
Altitude sickness is a strange bird. I weaved my way down the street as if I was on the deck of a rolling ship. Going up and down stairs not only exhausted me but made me feel greatly at risk. Even stepping up on to the curb could accelerate my pulse. All the sensations I felt were akin to the sensations I've had when in the grip of a panic attack, which makes sense as the body, with much less oxygen in the air its used to, feels under threat. You can tell the tourists new to the area as they walk very slowly, holding on to each other, and occasionally putting a finger on the pulse in their neck! This is now my third day in Puno and although I still feel a bit shaky and breathy I am far more grounded and have had minimal symptoms. Some people can get excruciating headaches and nausea but I've just had a couple of headaches which weren't anything in the scheme of things. Funnily enough I found the best way to alleviate my symptoms was to go shopping and buy things. I am now the proud owner of one very cool Peruvian sun hat, a very colourful jacket and a stunning silver necklace.
The people are very friendly and smile at us a lot. Most of the older women wear the national dress – a very full tiered skirt in vibrant colours falling down to mid calf, topped with an old cardigan and a tiny bowler hat perched raunchily on their heads, their long black plaits hanging down their backs as far as their knees. Their faces are deeply lined and must hold a multitude of stories and hardships. Shopping in the daytime is a delight and the prices in many of the narrow little shops are good. At night, after dark, things ramp up a bit and hawkers bother you at every step, but on the whole they are graceful when you are clearly saying 'No'.
Last night the rest of the group arrived and we had a very enjoyable meal in our favourite restaurant overlooking the main square. Sixteen of us have converged on Puno from all over the world – from Australia, Canada, Alaska and other US states, Holland, Denmark and UK. It's exciting to meet everyone and get to know what's compelled us all to come to Peru, to this tour in particular and to try ayahuasca during our last week together. It's already clear how the group is bonding. Many of us have been tentative about joining a group to do anything but this one is proving to be one which works. All of us have an interest in the sacred places of this extraordinary country and have explored spirituality in whatever way makes sense to us as individuals.
One of the group kindly gave me a Reiki healing session for the altitude sickness and immediately her hands touched my shoulders I had wild visions of UFO's flying in to a city of tunnels underneath Lake Titicaca itself. I saw a bright green crystal too. As soon as she finished the healing session the visions disappeared. I since found out that this area is known as a UFO hotspot and that some people believe there is a city of aliens underneath the lake! Spooky.
Today we meet our guide and discover what our first full tour day will entail. It's going to be an amazing ride!

Reema Islam uncovers the heritage sights within Bangladesh
Photographs by Reema Islam
An ancient seal was discovered in Mahastangarh site, written in Brahmi script. The seal proved to some, that Buddhism had indeed flourished in our deltaic land Before Current Era (BCE), a fact that has given rise to much debate. Yet, Pundravardana, or Mahastangarh as we know it, was a flourishing territory by the banks of the Karatoya River. By the time Hiuen Tsang, the famous Chinese pilgrim arrived in 639-45 CE (current era), he did not mention meeting a king but wrote about 20 monasteries, 3000 monks and a vibrant atmosphere of Buddhist chants and learning. Trade routes right up to Sindh and Gujarat from present day Mahastangarh have also been mentioned in many texts. Hiuen Tsang travelled further down to Samatata or the Mainamoti ruins in Comilla and possibly passed Somapura Mahavihara or Paharpur, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bangladesh housed two of the five most famous universities roughly between 5th-11th century CE: Somapaura Vihara or Paharpur in Naogaon and Jaggadala, which is still to be discovered. A thriving maritime port is also thought to have been around since the 3rd century BCE, in Wari-Bateshwar, Narshingdi. An ongoing excavation has revealed the most interesting tunnels and structures built within the earth, leaving archaeologists perplexed while drawing history enthusiasts from all over!
So whether you consider the flourishing universities in Mainamati and Jaggadala to the Mughals arriving and putting Dhaka in the limelight, our history is resplendent with diversity and a unique combination of religions, cultures and ethnic origins of the people. Sri Ballal Sen setting up the Dhakeshwari temple in the 12th century CE or the Baro Bhuiyans and the Rajas of Satkhira in the 16th century CE to the oldest, constantly inhabited Hindu street, Shakhari bazaar in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh too has its unique layers of a heritage we seem to have either forgotten or simply ignore.
More ancient history comes to life as archaeologists toil to bring to light our lost ancestry. Bhitargarh in Panchagarh, Dinajpur is being excavated to reveal a 6th-7th century CE fortified city, where some village homes still have the ancient fort walls running along at parts. Situated at a junction between Assam, Koch Bihar and several other states, this area had a significant influence on the world of trade. Another site in Bochaganj, Dinajpur is also laying bare a temple from the 8th-9th century CE, which was possibly a Buddhist temple that was converted to a Hindu one. The famous Buddhist scholar Atish Dipankar hailed from Bikrampur, where these excavations are bringing us closer to this eminent personality as well as other structures from his era, giving us a wider view of how people lived back then.
A recent workshop organised by the UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) and the Ministry of Tourism and Aviation called 'Developing Sustainable Tourism based on Buddhist Heritage Culture and Pilgrimage Circuit' has officially put Bangladesh on the map of countries with Buddhist heritage and the year 2016 is 'Visit Bangladesh Year.' With a heritage as rich and diverse as ours, it really is time we did something to preserve it. Our archaeology gives us a panoramic view of how different parts of Bangladesh functioned as autonomous kingdoms, forts or even ancient port cities, which together form a glorious web of ancient heritage that we seem to have done little to preserve. A visit to the museum, a family trip down to look at the archaeological ruins, visiting a village that still practices ancient rituals should be encouraged. There's so much out there- let the journey to discovery begin. Let the Visit 2016 year also be a year where we cherish our heritage.

Aron Baron in Samarovo 1911
New piece with a little on Aron Baron's Siberian exile (1911-12) before his escape to the USA. See https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/cnp6tq
A Letter of Aron Baron from Tashkent [1929]
In 1929 Aron Baron was serving a term of exile in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He wrote the following letter to Yakov [/Jacques/Yanya] Doubinsky in Paris. The original is found in the International Institute of Social History, Senya Fléchine papers, Folder 50b, p. 17.
Translated from the Russian original and annotated by Malcolm Archibald, who would like to thank Elijah Bukreev for help in transcribing Aron's handwriting.
Tashkent July 5 1929
Greetings, old friend!
I'm replying to you with a slight delay because I want to share with you excerpts from an interesting book which I have just finished. This book was printed for the third time in 1928. It's called Adjutant of Gen. Mai-Maevsky by P. V. Makarov, the chief of a partisan unit in Crimea.i He describes how he taken prisoner by the Whites, fooled them, and became an adjutant of the General. And when they exposed him, he escaped and became a partisan. Remarkably interesting memories! Among other things, he mentions some of our mutual friends. He tells about Lugovik's group in Simferopol, about Alyosha Bulanov, about Safian Spiro-Berg and his wife Lisa, and other activists of the anti-Denikin underground.ii You can't help laughing when you read how the Whites arrested 40 "redheads," but missed their intended target, Safian, because he had dyed his hair brown. Meanwhile, Lisa had bleached her jet-black hair with peroxide and become a blonde. If you can manage it, get this book and read it. Is there a branch of the State Publishing House where you are?iii
Do I still need a subscription to l'Humanité? No, I don't really need it. But if you can, please order me a subscription to the London Daily Herald .iv
So, my friend, you're going to the old place in Chicago? Of course, I would have liked to see the old place, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of living there. Not that I'm happy with my role as an involuntary spectator, which it's my lot to bear. And yet emigration doesn't tempt me in the least – I'm telling you this quite sincerely.
You asked for Luba's address, here it is: M. Fagin, 11903 Imperial Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. Luba has a teenage daughter Sophie – a splendid person! She and I are great friends; she writes poetry, and she was active in supporting Sacco and Vanzetti along with her mother and father. When you get there, be sure to give her a kiss from me.v
Greetings from Fanny to you, Yanya, and the rest of our friends. Let's nourish ourselves with hopes for the future. Greetings, Aron.
i. Pavel Makarov's Adjutant of Gen. Mai-Maevsky, was published in 1927 and went through five printings in the next two years. His book belonged to a genre, civil war memoirs, which came under increasing attack in the late 1920s in the USSR due to alleged exaggerations and outright falsifications. There were numerous complaints about Makarov's book in particular. A commission was set up to investigate these complaints and Makarov ended up losing his pension, while his book soon became a bibliographical rarity. During World War II Makarov recouped his fortunes by putting his partisan experience to good use behind enemy lines. His book was back in print in the 1960s and he lived to see it made into a miniseries shown on Soviet television in 1969.
ii. The underground group led by the veteran revolutionary Luka Lugovik included both anarchists and communists. The anarchist Alyosha Bulanov (1891-1970) is known to history by many names, but was born Izrail Khaykelevich Ulanovsky in Kishinev, Bessarabia. After fighting as an anarchist in the Russian civil war, he joined the Soviet intelligence services and held postings all over the world, including the USA (1931-1934). Although he survived Stalin's purges initially, he and his family were arrested in 1948 and sentenced to long terms in the gulags. Safian Spiro-Berg was a prominent member of the Nabat Anarchist Confederation in 1919-1920 and wrote for its press. Jewish with red hair, his nickname in the movement was in fact "The Redhead." His wife Lisa was a Polish Jew. Safian perished in August 1920 while on a mission to Nestor Makhno.
iii. Baron is referring to Communist Party bookstores which distributed Soviet literature.
iv. L'Humanité was the daily organ of the French Communist Party and readily available in the Soviet Union. The Daily Herald was owned by the British Trade Union Congress (TUC) in the 1920s, but took a consistently pro-Soviet line and so may have been allowed to circulate freely in the USSR.
v. Sophie Fagin (born 1916) was Aron's niece through his first wife Fanny Grefenson Baron, Luba Fagin's sister. As a teen, she wrote articles and poems for the Industrial Worker and other left-wing periodicals, and even spoke at mass labour rallies. Later she earned a doctorate in sociology from the University of Chicago and became an academic researcher who was also active in a housing co-operative. A brief account of here life can be found at https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1993/02/18/sociologist-and-therapist-sophia-mcdowell-77-dies/df0a2424-c561-4623-b872-0e30ac0b733e/.

The case of Aaron Baron
Exiled to Siberia by the Tzar, Baron had escaped to America and was active there for several years in the labor and revolutionary movement. In 1917 he returned to Russia to help "build Socialism".
He became one of the most popular writers and lecturers in the Ukraine. In 1920 Baron was arrested by the Bolsheviks together with a large number of other delegates to the Kharkov Anarchist Congress which, by the way, was to be held with the knowledge of the authorities.
Since then Baron, like his comrades Ivan Charin, Leah Gottman, Michail Biriulin, L. Lebedov, etc., arrested on the same occasion, has been dragged about from prison to prison, without any definite charge-ever having been made against him or the others. His imprisonment in Moscow, Orel, Kharkov and other places has involved for Baron hunger strikes totaling 50 days.
Now, his sentence of two years in the Solovietzki Islands having expired, Baron hoped to be at liberty at least long enough to recuperate his shattered health. But a recent letter informs us that the Government has now brought the charge against him of having "aroused public sentiment abroad against his imprisonment in the Solovietzki and having induced revolutionists visiting Russia to seek his release."
This charge is no doubt due to the friendly efforts of John Turner, member of the British Labor Delegation to Russia to intercede-at the request of the Joint Committee-in behalf of Aaron Baron. The latter has now been sent by etape (travel by slow stages, often on foot), to the distributing prison of Novo-Nikolaevsk and thence to Altai, Siberia.
A similar fate has been meted out to several other politicals whose terms in the Solovietzki have expired. This policy is now being applied throughout the country.

A Letter of Aron Baron from the Solovetsky Islands
Translator's Introduction
In January 1923 Aron Baron was sentenced to two years in prison, to be served in camps of northern Russia. After passing through two camps on the mainland, he eventually arrived in Solovetsky, an archipelago of six islands in an arm of the White Sea, where hermitages built for monks had been converted into concentration camps. The Soviet regime had first used Solovetsky for common criminals and counterrevolutionaries, but in 1923 two hermitages, Muksol'ma and Savvat'yev, on different islands, were reserved for political prisoners. The exact date of Baron's arrival at the Muksol'ma hermitage is unknown, but he was evidently there when a horrific event took place at the Savvat'yev camp in December 1923. Several prisoners were gunned down while making a peaceful protest. News of this event soon spread abroad, but it was only a harbinger of worse things to come during Stalin's regime.
Baron's letter was written ostensibly to a former sweetheart in Berlin named Julia. But annotations on the letter indicate that Julia was actually Mark Mrachniy, an old comrade who was helping Alexander Berkman in Berlin with support work for anarchists in Soviet prisons. Baron and Mrachniy had been leading members of the Confederation of Anarchists of Ukraine (Nabat) and both had taken part in the Makhnovist movement (although at different times). The other personages mentioned in the letter are identified in endnotes.
Aron Baron was released from Solovetsky in January 1925, but not to freedom. He was sent to serve a further term as an exile in Siberia.
Muksol'ma August 8 1924
My dear beloved. Immediately upon receiving your letter of the 11th of July, I sent a reply to you by return post about the state of my health, affirming that I am still your same Aron as you knew me earlier and that the years of sorrowful separation could alter nothing in my relationship to you. By my reckoning, I should have already received an answering letter from you by now, but there is none and that is beginning to worry me. It's true you mentioned that you lost your job, and I know from the newspapers what kind of unemployment and terrible starvation you have now in Germany. So now I'm worried, and I'm writing a second time, by registered mail, in case my earlier letter, for whatever reason, did not reach you. They say the postal service is functioning normally in Russia now, but I don't know anything about the reliability of the German post office.
It would be nice to talk with you about lots of things, and I know that epistolary conversations are satisfying neither to me, nor to you. Hopefully we'll meet again sooner or later in freedom, and then we'll make up for lost time. There are some quarrels and squabbles happening here, which it's embarrassing to write about (and resulted in 15 people being transferred here from Savvat'yev). But, in spite of everything, I remain in good spirits and healthy, and am looking after myself. [1]
I am receiving from America the central communist organ – the newspaper Daily Worker – and am able to follow the course of American life on a day-to-day basis. I must confess that I would be very, very grateful if one of my acquaintances, or one of your acquaintances – someone sufficiently kind-hearted and well-off – bought me a subscription to the French communist newspaper Humanité for two or three months. This newspaper is most likely permitted; it's necessary only to pay for a subscription in my name, and I will then derive great satisfaction in gleaning information from a primary source about life abroad. I'm not suggesting, my dear, that you pay for this yourself, but I implore you to arrange this with some "rich uncle" who's willing to relieve himself of a couple of francs on my behalf.
As for Germany, its newspaper is of less interest to me; however, if you happen to get back to work and accumulate some money, then send me, when you can, any kind of interesting book, journal or brochure in the German language – something fit for Soviet Russia.
Write, my dear, more about yourself and about Ksima [2]. How is she getting along, poor woman. I heard that your old man [starik] [3] doesn't want to know us and has even left you completely. Admittedly, I would want to know more about all this. Well, that's it for this time. I can't pass along any pleasant news about our life. Alesha [4] arrived not long ago, but I haven't caught up with him yet. Everyone here who knows you sends greetings and asks that you don't forget to write often and more about yourself. Good-bye, beloved, don't be sad. Thousands of greetings to you and Ksima.
Forever yours, Aron

1 In the first half of the 1920s Aron Baron was imprisoned most of the time, took part in several hunger strikes, and even attempted self-immolation in protest of prison conditions.
2 Grigori Maksimov, well-known anarcho-syndicalist, was living in Berlin in 1924, after having been expelled from the USSR in 1922.
3 Vsevolod Volin, who had been living in Berlin after being expelled from the USSR, moved to Paris in 1924.
4 Aleksey Olonetskiy was one of the seven anarchists released from prison to attend Kropotkin's funeral in Moscow in 1921. Aron Baron was also one of the seven, as was Mark Mrachniy, to whom this letter was written.

Letter of Aron Baron to Senya Fleshin (Voronezh, 1931)
Voronezh July 29, 1931
Greetings, friends! Senya, I received your note and have started getting Rote Fahne; the little Spanish books you sent also arrived. Well, concerning the Spanish books, I guess you have no notion of the hectic pace of our lives here. I asked for a Spanish newspaper. You sent books of a couple of hundred pages each and you say: "This is for exercises". Do you really imagine we have time for exercises? No, my friend, normally there's only time for exercises in school, in prison and sometimes in exile. In freedom there's never any time for language exercises. You know, of course, about the introduction here of so-called continuous operations: the workers of enterprises and institutions get a day off every fifth day, while the work itself goes on continuously without a break. But now, Senya, instead of making things better, this innovation makes them worse. Previously there was one day of the week when generally everything was closed and everyone – free or unfree – could take it easy and you at least had the possibility of spending your time doing whatever you wanted. The introduction of continuous operations, although it gives you in principle the right to rest every 5th day, nevertheless doesn't allow you to spend most of the day resting because there are 1001 matters you must take care of, stuff which has piled up on this day, and so the whole day is spent running around or standing in line – this is what rest means. Of course it isn't like this for everyone. For young people living with their parents or for students and similar types living in dormitories, it's actually possible to have a real rest every four days. I don't belong to these categories, and the rest I'm legally entitled to seldom provides any benefit for my mental health. I should mention that to make a half-decent living – around 200 rubles – you need to do fairly responsible work in a relatively high-level job. Specifically, both here and in Tashkent I was employed and am employed (with the appropriate benefits) as an economist for public transit, electric power and water supply (they are combined into a single trust). There's so much work, so many meetings – both in the daytime and in the evenings – that it very often happens that it's simply not practical to use one's days off, and they are lost. The government has actually several times come out in defense of rest days for responsible workers; but so far the real conditions of work are more compelling than any government orders and days are lost and one hardly gets any rest. And on top of it all, I'm bringing up a tiny daughter – Voltairina (named in memory of V. de Cleyre). We don't have anyone at home who can help Fanya [Avrutskaya] with the child, so that when I get home from work, I have to do my share. Trust me, neither of us has had a good night's sleep for several months already; Fanya has been getting run-down, and they say I'm not looking so good either. Incidentally, about the child. Did you say that the crisis of your mark and the latest pressure from France have not had an effect on the availability of food products? Specifically, do you have rice, semolina and other such baby food in abundance – or not? In Tashkent you could pay speculators 3 of 4 rubles per pound, but here you normally can't buy this stuff. What do you say, Senya, would it not be too difficult for you to send me a few pounds of semolina and rice by post? I hope that the duty which would have to be paid would not make these baby products more expensive than the Tashkent prices. In any case, I'd like to try this. If it's possible, then do it as soon as possible, because we must feed the child, and also Fanya needs to keep up her strength in order to nourish such a demanding creature as a nursing child.
However, I'm digressing. I wanted to explain to you that for me there is never sufficient time for exercises in Spanish. Here's what I was looking for. In Turukhansk I theoretically studied Spanish. Since then I have, apparently, forgotten what I learned … Imagine to yourself that you're glancing through a newspaper, and you notice that an acquaintance of yours is being roundly criticized there. Clearly it's this part of the paper which is so interesting to you that you must try to understand what it's all about, no matter what language it's in. That's the way it is with me. In a newspaper you quickly pick out the interesting part (if there is one), and find time to spend on this interesting part (even though it reduces your sleeping time which is already reduced by your little daughter) and, equipping yourself with a dictionary and whatever you remember from a teach-yourself book, you figure out and you understand. And there's so much we need to understand. The events taking place in Spain are very exciting, but news from there is scanty. Around 60 years ago the defeat of Spanish revolutionaries provided fodder for Engels to write his well-known malicious satirical pamphlet which is now studied by Soviet youth. [1] I'd like to know whether anything has been learned in the last 60 years, whether they have learned how to consolidate their achievements. I'd like to know what sorts of debates are going on, what sorts of battles with the landlords and the bourgeoisie on the outside of the working class, and with bunglers and disorganizers on the inside. I read that Mundo Obrero, the organ of the Communist Party, is often confiscated. Nevertheless it is possible to receive the issues that are published, or brochures on this topic, or other kinds of imported materials such as publications in other languages about Spanish affairs. Please write what happened at the international congress which took place not long ago, why it was permitted by the Zamora government, and what decisions were arrived at. [2] Meanwhile, in Germany only the voices of fascists and communists are heard. Concerning our Soviet achievements your probably know from Pravda. That's enough to write this time. Greetings from Fanya to you and Molly [Steimer].

Fantastic News.
We're excited to report that Lange Production is re-issuing this brilliant chair designed by the late Danish furniture designer Grete Jalk. Known as the GJ chair, this molded plywood masterpiece was first introduced in 1963 at the Daily Mail International Furniture competition. Jalk won the British competition and later that year the Museum of Modern Art bought the chair where it's remained in their permanent collection ever since. Due to the complexity of the design, only around 300 copies were originally produced and only a few of those remain in existence today. Lange Production has chosen to launch the furniture in their original wood species, Teak and Oregon Pine, and have added a new black stained ash model. You can find the chair here in the States at Suite New York. We've included a slideshow to highlight more of Jalk's incredible designs, but to see more of her work as well as other Danish Modern masterpieces you should definitely click here to order the new beautifully photographed book by Andrew Hollingsworth.

I don't think a re-issue devalues the original. The original is the original, and they are re-issuing, not reproducing. as long as the reissue holds to the same standards as the original, I think it's a way to make the piece more available. Of course people with originals might not be too happy.

I agree. It's sort of like a tribute albums for one of the greats, like Cat Power singing Johnny Cash. Or come to think of it, more like if there were only four copies of the Ode to Joy on LP and then someone released a few hundred copies on CD. Good design, like good music, is meant to be used and enjoyed. It takes nothing away from the worth of the original and gives more people the ability to have something of great beauty and function in their lives. It's not the Mona Lisa, it's a chair. A work of art, definitely, but meant to bring aesthetic pleasure to living, not just put up on a pedestal of posterity.

Senior students at NBS are eligible for a number of dance and academic awards. Academic awards are announced at the annual Graduation ceremony in June. Dance awards may be announced throughout the year as well as at the Graduation Ceremony.
Five prizes are given annually to PBP students in honour of the memory of Peter Dwyer, a key force in founding and developing the Canada Council. While Peter Dwyer was a firm believer that all human beings deserve equal respect, he also was unafraid to challenge the notion that each individual is equal in their abilities and openly acknowledged and celebrated those most gifted in the arts.
The 2018 awards were given to Leo Hepler, Genevieve Penn Nabity and Charlie Skuy. Shared awards were given to Jason Chen and Mika Omori, and to Mariana Gasperin and Tamaho Yasooka.
The 2017 awards were given to Alexi Skinner, Hannah Galway, Siphe November, Ryan Tomash and Daina Zolty.
Generously created by Larry and Judy Tanenbaum to honour the memory of their dear friend and leading NBS supporter Wallace F. McCain, this award makes it possible for the School to support an exceptional global talent in ballet; providing a youth of the highest achievement, ability and drive a place in the Professional Ballet Program regardless of their financial means. This award enables NBS to successfully attract the finest dance talent from around the world in an international competition populated by large, well-resourced institutions from Europe, Asia and the United States. Students offered this award may be at any stage of their training.
The Patricia Goss Award for Art honours the most creative art student in Grade 12 who has demonstrated a deep commitment to the realization of visual and artistic skills. Established by Jane and Stephen Smith, this award pays tribute to the inspiration and joy with which Pat Goss taught her students for twenty-five years.
The Mora Oxley Award for English was established to honour Mora Oxley, Academic Principal of Canada's National Ballet School from April 1984 to her retirement in June 2000. The award is given annually to the Grade 12 student chosen by the academic teachers as an outstanding student of English. It is intended to keep alive Mora Oxley's enormous contribution to the development of high academic standards at Canada's National Ballet School, and her passion for English studies.
The study of music is an integral part of the training offered to students at Canada's National Ballet School. The musicianship award has been designed to recognize a student who demonstrates the rare combination of knowledge, skill, creativity, talent and dedication.
The Governor General's Academic Medal was first presented in 1873 by the Earl of Dufferin, and has since become one of the most prestigious awards that a student in a Canadian educational institution can receive. The Medal is awarded for academic excellence to the student who achieves the highest average upon graduation.
The Citizenship Award is presented to a student who demonstrates leadership, scholarship, and an outstanding contribution to the quality of life at Canada's National Ballet School.
John Maitland was Academic Principal of Canada's National Ballet School from 2000 until his retirement in 2010. A strong supporter of all areas of study, his love of math and science, subjects at which he excelled, made his a fitting name to attach to this award. It is presented to the student who best exemplifies all-round academic accomplishment while showing a particular aptitude and affection for mathematics and science.
The Lawrence Haskett Scholarship is awarded to a Grade 12 male student who the ballet faculty consider especially committed to the art form and determined to fully explore his exceptional talent.
For outstanding achievement through discipline and commitment to ballet, academics, and personal development. The recipient may use the prize for the purposes of enhancing their ballet training and furthering their dance career in any way they choose.
Erik Bruhn loved the challenge of mentoring talented young dancers, especially those with the intelligence, passion, curiosity and sense of artistry essential to bringing classical and contemporary dance to life. The recipient of the Erik Bruhn Memorial Award is selected by the Artistic Director in conjunction with the ballet faculty, many of whom had the privilege of working directly with Erik as a teacher, coach and colleague. The staff look forward each year to selecting the Grade 12 student they believe Erik would have considered exceptional.
In tribute to NBS graduate Jeffrey Kirk's extraordinary integrity and world-renowned artistic achievements, the award is presented to an individual who has consistently demonstrated an unwavering level of commitment and impassioned determination to fully explore their talent. The award winner, like Jeffrey, celebrates all dance forms while cherishing the traditions of classical ballet. The recipient of this award is a dancer of tremendous courage who embraces the challenges of the art form, eager to find creative solutions.

The resignation of Manchester City chairman David Bernstein has certainly put Kevin Keegan in the spotlight in the North West.
I will always be a massive fan of KK both for what he did as a player and manager at St James's Park.
But don't forget that Keegan spent a net £60 million in his time in charge of United.
The figure was £40 million at Fulham and it is currently standing at £50 million at Maine Road.
No wonder the respective chairmen of those clubs used to dread the knock on the door from KK.

You are correct that I don't at present see any system politician who has realistic plan for moving to socialism. But of course, I would support people voting Corbyn in with the health warning that it would be another 'Greek' scenario unless they were prepared to push things further.
Immigrants can usually join unions, if they are in a work place and immigrants have always been amongst the backbone of left parties. Their experiences give them a lot of political insight.Unless we are going to get into politics ourselves, voters have to be educated and make sound choices as part of their political involvement. Ideally, unless you are an immigrant elsewhere like me, you will also join a Union or some movement and try and get involved in something.
What abstract whataboutery ??This is the same sort of abstract whataboutery we get from academic leftists on here at every election. Maybe you don't believe in elections or democracy or whatever but these things are tools to be used for our benefit if we elect people who best represent us.
I agree with you that the splintering is a problem. However, working together should never be at the expense of not telling what you consider to be the political truth. All kinds of alliances are made on that basis - of some agreement, some disagreement. The Labour Party in the UK is a maelstrom of debate and Corbyn has been in the thick of it.I am a Socialist Republican but the sort of splintering eegitry we see here is why the Irish Socialists are still just as focused on SF as they are on attacking the FF/FG govt. Ireland will never have a party like Labour led by a man like Corbyn and given the nature of our coalition-based voting system our only hope is if SF and the Socialists work together. If Socialist voters at home have/had the sort of abstract indifferent and splintered attitudes you and AMH have we will be stuck with another century of centrist/centre right/occasional hard right rule.
As I expect you know, I've always argued against the SP SWP position on Irish anti-Imperialism (which is not the same thing as nationalism). Anti-imperialism is in my view an essential here if any progress is to be made.
Again, you seem not so much to be putting a counter-case to anything I say, as to be saying I should not express my views at all, as they are not the same as yours.
is a product of UK Labour, that is true, but his current position has come as a total shock there.Ireland will never have a party like Labour led by a man like Corbyn
.and given the nature of our coalition-based voting system our only hope is if SF and the Socialists work together
At certain points, they need to. But why should that entail never expressing the profound political differences that exist ?
If Socialist voters at home have/had the sort of abstract indifferent and splintered attitudes you and AMH have we will be stuck with another century of centrist/centre right/occasional hard right rule in.Europe, I would needlessly alienate many friends/colleagues
I think you should explain exactly what attitudes you are talking about (AMH and I probably don't agree on more issues than you and I do).
Is there any limit at which you would say that a political party or politician has sold out ? Irish Labour Party for example ? Are you OK with everything they have done and not done ? Is there a right to comment on it ?I don't like the attitudes of Fundamentalists in any context funnily enough.
If that is short hand for merging seamlessly with SF I disagree. If you are interested in anti-Imperialism of the kind that inspired 1916, then, what makes you think it is not in the soup ?You could generally do with some Republicanism in your Socialist soup too.

A few months back, I gave my first lecture to roughly 200 undergraduate students. It was terrifying and thrilling speaking in front of such a large audience, and I count it as quite an achievement. Last week I gave a second lecture to this class, and since I blogged about the first, this post is a reflection on how it compared.
This lecture covered a brief introduction to using databases for research, and citing and referencing. I used my predecessor's slides, which I updated and amended to my own style.
In my original post, I advised the following:
- Don't let them know you're afraid.
This time round, I was a lot less anxious – I knew what to expect, and I knew I could handle it.
- Don't underestimate how long it takes for people to settle down
I started at five minutes past the hour, and didn't acknowledge those who came in late (rather than letting them disrupt my flow).
- Balance making the session as interactive as possible without it descending into chaos.
There wasn't much scope for discussion in this lecture, but it is something I tried to bear in mind during the quiz questions.
- Make it personal to their course
The content of the lecture – primarily referencing – can very easily become generic. By using examples that are key texts they have likely encountered can trigger recognition and makes it more relevant. I also tried to emphasise the benefits of referencing correctly – you'll get better marks!
I felt a lot more confident giving this lecture, having done the experience before. Which just goes to show that practice really does make public speaking easier. The audience was also a bit smaller this time, as not everyone turned up – I won't take this personally!

Very classy and great fun, MSQ - Plugged will add a convivial ambience to your dinner party or special event. Of course, they can still play the full range of classical repertoire too!
