Hardwick Hall
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
An Elizabethan masterpiece
Welcome to Hardwick, whose stunning houses and beautiful landscape have been created by a cast of thousands.
It was the formidable Bess of Hardwick who first created Hardwick in the late 1500s, but it was Robert Symthson who designed this magnificent house. The new Hall was designed deliberately to symbolise Bess' wealth and status and pushed the boundaries of architectural design.
In 2015, Hardwick will be commemorating the 400th anniversary of the death of Lady Arbella Stuart, the granddaughter of Bess of Hardwick and niece to Mary, Queen of Scots. She had a strong royal lineage and a realistic claim to the thrown after Queen Elizabeth I died. Educated and raised as a princess, but whose desperate attempts to seek freedom ended with her being inprisoned in the Tower of London.
Discover more about Arbella in the Hall and explore whether you think Hardwick was built as a palace fit for a Queen or a prison for a forgotten princess.
Hardwick offers visitors a year round experience, from colourful herbaceous borders and prize winning vegetables that are used in the restaurant to the picturesque circular parkland walks and plenty of family friendly activities.
Crisp winter walks
Stretch your legs on a crisp winter walk around the estate on one of the circular routes, then treat yourself to a mug of hot chocolate and a slice of cake. You can choose from short walks with views across the parkland to more adventurous rambles around the wider estate in your wellies or boots.
Winter at Hardwick
Even though the Hall is closed there is still plenty to do at Hardwick this winter, from short strolls to longer walks to a gentle wander round the garden. Families can enjoy the play trail for kids young and old along Lady Spencer's walk
Arbella - 2015
Discover the fascinating and tragic story of this lost princess at Hardwick in 2015. Decide for yourself if Hardwick was a palace or a prison.

Checking out the latest in computer technology may be as close as your nearest Small Business Administration (SBA) branch. Recently, the SBA made several alliances with leading technology companies to bring their wares to Business Information Centers (BIC) around the country so small businesses can try them free of charge.
In December, the SBA announced Start, Run, Grow, a major technology program developed in conjunction with Microsoft and Compaq Computer. In one of the largest private-sector contributions to the SBA, these and other companies will donate about $2 million in computer hardware, software, technical support and educational resources to BICs.
"All the technology is focused on the small-business owner, so we've really done the selection for them," says Monika Edwards-Harrison, the SBA's associate administrator for business initiatives. "It gives them a place to come and preview the software and hardware to see if it might be something they want to use in managing their businesses on a daily basis."
Apple Computer is also supplying BICs with the latest in Apple Macintosh technology. By year-end, up to 50 Apple systems will be operating within BICs nationwide.

The IRB Process and IRB Approval For Your Human Subjects Research
The IRB Process and IRB Approval for Your Human Subjects Research: Frequently Asked Questions
Does My Project Require an IRB Review?
In general, yes! Your project requires IRB if it involves research with humans!
Research is defined as a systematic investigation designed to produce or contribute to generalizable knowledge. This includes research development, testing, evaluation, AND pilot studies. This means that your QI project is research if you intend it be generalizable beyond just improving quality at a particular site or for a particular program.
You must have IRB approval prior to beginning your research.
What Trainings/Forms Do I need to complete to be on an IRB?
All investigators and personnel on an IRB submission must complete IRB training and must have a current conflict of interest disclosure form on file with the Office of University Counsel.
What Application Type Do I Need?
To determine what forms are needed for your IRB proposal, see the Overview of IRB Submissions for New Studies. IRB forms and submission materials can be found here. In general terms, there are 3 types of application reviews: exempt, expedited review, and full review.
What Forms/Processes Do I Need to Complete?
1. A New IRB Submission Checklist for all new applications (not needed for continuing review, amendments or data-sharing agreements).
2. Other forms depend on the type of submission:
a. For a new study, all forms indicated on the Overview of IRB Submissions for New Studies for your application type.
You also need to submit a study protocol or a copy of your grant application if it is a funded study. The IRB has a sample protocol template available. Your study protocol should include details on all of the important elements of the planned research, including:
1. A sentence or two describing the current state of the literature, and the addition that the current study will make (If there is very little/no previous research done in the area, this is an acceptable justification);
2. The number and nature of the proposed research participants, including where they will come from, how they will be recruited into participation, if, when and how they will be consented, and the measures taken to protect their anonymity or confidentiality;
3. The methods of the study, including where, when and how data collection will take place, all the procedures for storing and maintaining the data and;
4. The data analysis plan. The protocol should address the balance between risks to participants and potential knowledge or other benefit gained. Remember, even things like inconvenience and boredom count as risks!
b. For an amendment (e.g., to add study personnel or change the study protocol), complete an OHR-12, 12B or 12C depending on the type of amendment.
c. For a continuing review, complete the OHR-9 and submit with the required additional documents indicated in the OHR-9 instructions.
d. For a data-sharing agreement, complete either the OHR-6A or 6B. Although this does not require Chair and Administrator signatures, please submit it for DFCM review.
3. Create a study record in JeffTrial and upload the documents to the IRB portal. This notifies the IRB of your upcoming submission. You can upload the documents prior to getting signatures.
4. Get all required signatures from investigators and personnel. If you have collaborators from outside the department, get those signatures first, including their department administrators and chairs.
5. If faculty members are being added to a new, unfunded study, please provide a statement of their percent effort (e.g., an email from them stating that they estimate spending XX% effort on this study). This is a DFCM requirement.
6. If students are on the IRB, please ensure that student has received needed clearance to participate in the study-- for medical students/unaffiliated students, contact Katherine Paul; for College within a College students, contact Abbie Santana; for MPH clerkship/capstone students contact Amy Cunningham.
7. Complete the appropriate DFCM checklist for departmental review:
DFCM Checklist: Expedited Study
DFCM Checklist: Amendment Adding Study Personnel
DFCM Checklist: Amendment Removing Study Personnel
DFCM Checklist: Amendment Revising Study Protocol
How do I submit my IRB documents for DFCM review?
1. The Department of Family and Community Medicine review process begins with Amy Cunningham, who will review the application for completion and accuracy and forward it to the departmental senior administrator, Laurel Giobbie.
2. Laurel Giobbie will review the application and if complete and appropriate, forwards it to the Department Chair for signature.
3. Joan Giampetro then makes a copy for the Department's files and notifies the PI/application contact person that their paperwork is ready for pick-up.
4. The PI/application contact should make a copy for his or her records and submits the required number of copies to the IRB office:
Office of Human Research
Thomas Jefferson University
1015 Chestnut Street
Suite 1100
Philadelphia, PA 19107
5. The application then goes on the IRB for review. You will receive notification from the IRB when your application has been assigned a review date and when review is complete.
Who can I contact with DFCM IRB questions?
Please contact Amy Cunningham with questions about DFCM IRB applications.

So I know the general wisdom is to just leave beer in primary for 3 weeks without thinking about it. And I pretty much follow that advice. My beers are all around 1.050 OG, and I have fallen into a rhythm that works -- 18 days in fermenter, 3 day cold crash, transfer to keg. My beer has always been at FG by the time I get to the 18 days and by the time the cold crash is done the trub and yeast are in a nice compact layer on the bottom. I have no problem with this, but I got to thinking about it after reading Sam C.'s book about Dogfish Head and after visiting another small craft brewery. If I remember right, Dogfish Head leaves their pale ale in fermenters for less than 2 weeks. And the local craft brewery transfers the beer at the 2 week mark. Is there something different about their process that allows them to move things more quickly, or is it just that 3 weeks is a good rule of thumb that makes things sort of foolproof? I have no intention of changing my process at this point, I was just curious.
It's just a rule of thumb that errs on the side of caution. I've had beers bottled after a week and others require more than a month.
"Be excellent to each other." -Benjamin Franklin
You also have to remember 1) They are mass producing a beer, going from 2->3 weeks just decreased your output by 50%. If its done fermenting after 2, there's no reason to leave it in there if you are bottle conditioning your beer like they do. 2) They have huge conical fermenters, where things like autolysis of the yeast can start to happen at a much more rapid pace than we will ever see home brewing in 5 gallon carboys/buckets. Imagine hundreds of gallons of beer and the downward force it must impart on a TINY(relative) conical port at the bottom where all the yeast flocculates too. That yeast is getting pummeled!
For normal gravity beers, it's just been my safe zone. You certainly can do it sooner if fermentation is done or let it sit longer if you choose.

California Ballet's Swan Lake
Had he been less rash, Romeo might have avoided his plight, but what chance did Prince Siegfried from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake stand when his quest for love was bent by wizardry? Made melancholy by the necessity of marriage, the young prince sets out to distract himself with a swan hunt. To his surprise, however, the flock he's tracking lands beside a crystalline lake and transforms into a group of beautiful maidens, led by Odette, the most beautiful of all. The evil sorcerer Von Rothbart has cursed them to be birds by day and women by night, making true love the only key to their freedom. Prince Siegfried seems like the dashing young man for the job, but he would do well to remember that sorcerers stoop to cheating—even at the game of love, and especially at Monopoly.
Ever the ambassador, California Ballet welcomes Dutch National Ballet principals Maia Makhateli and Artur Shesterikov to the stage alongside international performer Raydel Caceres. Clad in gauzy white tutus and skirts that flow and flap like feathers, the California Ballet dancers bring the magical lake to life with choreography by Thor Sutowski, a three-time Emmy Award winner for his work on PBS dance programs.
California Ballet
Even when a ballet imposes technical challenges and its reputation raises expectations to near-impossible levels, California Ballet's dancers and artists don't shy away. Much of the company's repertoire reads like a 19th-century Top-10 list—Midsummer Night's Dream, Coppelia, Swan Lake—yet it makes each staging uniquely its own, either by revamping the choreography, casting The Nutcracker with upwards of 200 students from its dance school, or creating sets and costumes that would dazzle an "Ooooh" out of a royal guardsman.
The dancers were enthusiastic and obviously enjoying the ballet. The costumes were very pretty and the sets were magical.
MusicIsMyLifeNYC, Ticketmaster, 12/25/11
This was my first ballet, but it was amazingly produced, acted and orchestrated. I've never seen such a combination of audible and visual excellence
GMC100, Ticketmaster, 4/18/12
95% of 88 customers recommend
"Pay more to get the best seats as I think it does make a difference to be closer to the stage! "
"Dress lightly. Very hot!"
"Awesome performance "

Ronald Reagan's The Notes is a fascinating window into the mind of our fortieth president and the writers and thinkers to whom he turned for advice, inspiration, humor, and hope. Collected by the Ronald Reagan Foundation, the book includes both Reagan's own writing and his favorite quotations, proverbs, and excerpts from speeches, poetry, and literature. The breadth of these notes sheds light on a man who was deeply engaged with the arts, culture, and politics, from his time as one of the nation's most popular actors to later years as one of its most beloved presidents. Known as the "Great Communicator," Reagan sought wisdom from a wide-ranging set of political figures, philosophers, novelists, and poets, including Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, John F. Kennedy, and Thomas Jefferson, as well as Mohandas Gandhi, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Mark Twain, and Thomas Wolfe.
While the number one New York Times bestselling Reagan Diaries detailed daily life inside the Oval Office, The Notes encapsulates a lifetime of reflections on work, marriage, and family in classic one-liners such as "Flattery is what makes husbands out of bachelors" and "Money may not buy friends, but it will help you to stay in contact with your children." Reagan's own writing—his jokes, aphorisms, and insights into politics and life—is often surprising and reveals a view of the president that has rarely before been seen.
Historic, illuminating, and deeply captivating, The Notes is a remarkable collection of the thoughts of one of our most beloved presidents.

In Fact...
The story made the front page of the New York Times and other
papers. The director of admissions at Princeton was caught sneaking into
a special website set up to let Yale applicants know whether they'd been
accepted. Although the Princeton official's motives were not revealed,
the break-in was thought to be an academic Watergate, an illicit attempt
to filch information on what the competition was up to. It touched off
furrowed-brow effusions on "heightened craziness about admissions
decisions" and "frantic" competitiveness. The fuss about two elite Ivy
League colleges drew national press, but another story on higher
education was far more disturbing to those who care about democracy in
America. This was a report issued by the Advisory Committee on Student
Financial Assistance, which found that nearly 170,000 high school
graduates who were the brightest in their classes would have to forgo
college next fall because they can't afford rising tuitions and fees. A
major reason they can't is a lack of adequate financial aid because of
stagnation or cutbacks in need-based state aid programs and federal Pell
Jane Franklin writes: Governor Jeb Bush has appointed an open
supporter of terrorism to the Florida Supreme Court. His choice, Raoul
Cantero III, is a right-wing Cuban-American of impeccable
lineage--grandson of dictator Fulgencio Batista and son of an
intelligence officer in Batista's Bureau for the Repression of Communist
Activities. Not that he should be judged by his father and grandfather;
rather, his own record shows he continues to support terrorism against
the Cuban people. This was evident in the way he allied himself with
Orlando Bosch, a notorious anti-Castro terrorist, who was cited in FBI
and CIA reports for his "willingness to cause indiscriminate injury and
death," including thirty acts of sabotage here and in Cuba, Puerto Rico
and Panama from 1961 through 1968. He was charged with the 1976 bombing
of a Cuban passenger jet that exploded in midair, killing seventy-three
people. In 1989 he was ordered deported, but George Bush Sr. endorsed a
campaign to reverse the order, and Bosch was soon out on the streets of
Miami. Cantero III was one of Bosch's lawyers and a prominent defender
of his actions. The St. Petersburg Times found a radio-show tape
on which he calls Bosch a "Cuban patriot" and describes one of Bosch's
capers--firing a bazooka at a Polish ship docked in Miami--as a
"political statement" that "didn't hurt anybody and it didn't cause any
damage." Is Cantero going to condone terrorist acts of Bosch and others
who come before him? And are the Democratic candidates currently vying
to run against Jeb Bush in the gubernatorial election going to ask the
Governor about his own prominent role in the campaign to free Bosch?
Ouch!, a bulletin (www.ouch.org) issued by Public Campaign, the
finance reform group, notes that George W. Bush ostentatiously thanked
Robert Ingram for his fine work chairing a fundraising dinner that
garnered $30 million for the Republican Congressional Committee.
Ouch! further notes that Ingram is CEO of GlaxoSmithKline, which
markets Lanoxin, a drug widely used by seniors to avert congestive heart
failure. Lanoxin's price has risen 58.1 percent since 1997, or almost
five times the rate of inflation. The rising cost of drugs is the reason
a prescription drug benefit should be added to Medicare, yet the Bush
Administration opposes such legislation. So do Glaxo and the other big
pharmaceutical companies, and they've contributed $11.3 million to the
2002 election--three-fourths of that to the Republicans--to make sure it
doesn't happen. Follow the $$$.

Twenty years ago this month there appeared in this magazine a column called "Minority Report," by Christopher Hitchens. At that time
our stable of columnists numbered exactly one--Calvin Trillin. Already a
frequent Nation contributor from Britain, Christopher moved to
the United States and, after a short stint in New York, settled in Washington to launch his new column.
Salud, comrade!--valued contributor and burr under the nation's
(and The Nation's) saddle.
New York lefties of a certain age may remember Camp Wo-Chi-Ca, a
progressive, interracial children's camp in New Jersey from 1935
through 1954. Some may even have enjoyed a summer there and listened to
Claude McKay read poems or danced with Pearl Primus or heard Paul
Robeson boom out "Shenandoah." In the fifties, McCarthyite thugs
attacked the camp as communistic. Now June Levine and Gene Gordon have
written a history of Camp Wo-Chi-Ca (stands for Workers Children's Camp), which
is a delight (e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for info).
While the market was seriously tanking, Treasury Secretary O'Neill was
tracked down in Kyrgyzstan. Asked why he wasn't at his post in
Washington, O'Neill said, "I'm constantly amazed that anybody cares what
I do."

My sister went to an auction. In order to buy the "item" she wanted, she ended up with a stack of lovely bowls. They are of all styles, footed, frosted, pressed glass, ect. Most are the "serving" type, no ceral bowls here. So what else can we do with these? The "smaller" ones, we found worked well as pillar candle holders. But the the big ones have us stumped. We look forward to any ideas for more ueses.

Maybe not new uses, but, A nice look is to place floral foam in the bottom and make fresh or artificial arrangements. If they are very large drill a hole in the bottom and use as a ceiling light cover. For the holidays, place battery operated fairy lights in them then pile glass ornaments. Fancy pet dishes. When going to a pot luck, use it for your favorite dish, then leave the bowl as a hostess gift. To hold soaps, TP or hand towels in the bath. To hold magazines on the coffee table If new enough, use in place of place of a gift basket. I always have a large bowl of fresh fruit in the kitchen, it encourages everyone to eat healthy Thats all for now, hope this sparks even more ideas for you. |
I have used serving bowls for a bird bath. Just attatched to a vase or some type of base. Used the GE silicone glue and saves on the drilling.(always seems to take forever). |

Certainly not if I tempt you with links like 22 Lies Disney Told About Hair, or 45 Things You've Experienced Working In Retail.
Still here? All right, congratulations. There's hope for you.
This article is about how the internet is destroying your brain, and what you can do to reverse the process. It will teach you to manage your information flows, and to focus on what's really important in your life.
If you can take action on the information in this article, you will immediately find that you are more productive, smarter, and happier in your life.
The Problem: Information Overload
How many times in an average day do you check your Email? Social Media? Blogs? Forums?
Don't lie, because I know the answer from my web traffic reports: The majority of you will read a new post within a few hours of the time I publish it. Retweets and Twitter messages tend to come in a similar time frame. The really scary part is that my readers are, on average, smarter and more disciplined than the typical internet user.
Imagine having a conversation with an educated man of 1950, or 1750. You explain to him that in the year 2014, the citizens of the world have every piece of information ever produced, available at the click of a mouse. The result? Plato collects dust while silly cat pictures grind server centres into ash. Mozart accumulates a few million views, while Miley Cyrus collects billions. The internet had the potential to bring education to the masses. Instead, it has demonstrated that the masses are not just uneducated – they are ineducable. A clear argument, as if any were needed, that 90% of mankind belongs in chains.
Only one question remains: What sort of man will you be? Will you allow your mind to atrophy into a thoughtless slave to clickbait? Or will you exercise your willpower, and harness the internet as a tool for self-improvement?
The Solution: An Information Diet
If you made it this far down the page, you are probably not one of the hopeless cases. Your brain is not yet gone to slop. But without a conscious and rigorous information diet, it will be.
The only cure for information overload is willpower, pure and simple. There are tools, tricks, and systems which can help you, and we'll get to them at the end of this post.
But at the end of the day, you need to decide that you are a man who is in control of his own mind and body. You need to build your own information management system. You need to design an information diet which maximizes your intake of useful, actionable information from the internet, while minimizing the amount of time you spend online.
Let's break it down into a three-step process:
Step 1) Decide which information sources are worthy of your time
I have about fifty blogs in my Red Pill RSS feed. I also stay current with a few podcasts, I'm active on Twitter, and I post regularly at the Roosh V Forum and on Reddit.
Does this sound like a lot to handle? Well, I'm a special case. I operate a website that curates and organizes the best Red Pill content, The Red Pill Review. I am also a generally weird guy who has always spent a disproportionate amount of reading obscure blogs.
I think I'm a better man for it, but I also recognize that this path is not for everyone. A more typical young man should narrow it down to the five or ten blogs that are most relevant to his life. If I had to choose the five best sources of positive, actionable information, I would suggest:
These are not necessarily the five "best" blogs, but they all have useful, positive, and actionable information, and they are written by men whose disciplined and positive mental outlook is infectious. You should also check out the weekly top ten at The Red Pill Review, to expose yourself to some new ideas and authors.
You can add a few more of your favourite writers to that list, but keep the number low. Cut out everything that isn't worthy of your time. Exposing yourself to garbage information sources pollutes your mind, and taints your soul.
Step 2) Build a routine that allows you to consume and retain information as efficiently as possible
After you limit the information you're consuming, the next step is to minimize the time you spend consuming it.
The best way to do this is to 'batch' your reading. You might be surprised how little time it takes to keep up with your favourite blogs, when you check them once per week instead of several times per day. There is no good reason for any man to check his RSS and Twitter feeds every day. I promise you will never miss out on anything, if you read one of my blog posts or tweets a day late.
There are other advantages too. If you set aside a specific time each week to sit down and read seven day's worth of content, your brain will be able to absorb information faster, understand how concepts relate to each other, and single out the most important takeaways from each week's worth of reading.
If you have a set weekly reading routine, you can also keep a notepad or Commonplace Book on hand to record and organize what you've learned. None of this is possible when you do all your blog reading on the subway, lying in bed, or crushing a three-pounder in the office toilet.
Step 3) Apply these principles to all of your information flows
Thus far, I've been writing specifically about managing your intake of Red Pill information sources. But the principles of information management should apply to every aspect of your personal and professional life.
How often do you check your personal email and Facebook? It shouldn't be more than once a day.
These principles apply to your professional life as well. Most office workers would be much more productive (and happier) if they limited their email checking to once per hour.
Every person is different, but the core principle is that you should minimize your information intake, and then minimize the time you spend consuming that information. If you don't adhere to that principle, you're wasting precious hours of your life, and probably letting your brain waste away.
As an example, here is my information diet:
- Catch up on a week's worth of blog posts, tweets, comments, blog stats, forums, subreddits, and emails related to my "Jon Frost" persona.
- Select the Red Pill Review top ten
- (Optional) write a blog post or two
- Catch up on a week's worth of RSS entries and forum posts related to my business
- Catch up on a week's worth of personal email, social networks, and LinkdIn
- Catch up on work email and phone calls
- Complete my weekly planning, goal setting, and Weekly Review
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
- Hard Focus Time
- Zero RSS, Twitter, or other distractions
- Minimal work email and phone.
Saturday and Sunday
- Zero RSS, Twitter, or other distractions
- Hard focus on finishing at least one challenging book
(It doesn't always work out perfectly. This Saturday for example, I spent more time playing flip-cup with teenagers; drinking shots of whiskey and human breastmilk; and diving naked off rooftops into two feet of beautiful fresh powder; than I did finishing Journey To The End Of The Night. But this is always the ideal that I'm working towards.)
Other Tools And Resources
I've spent a lot of energy in my life trying to come up with information and productivity systems that maximize my output. Here are the most effective tools that I've come across:
Getting Things Done, by David Allen
This is the best book on productivity, organization, and time management that you will ever read. Getting Things Done is a simple and effective system that anyone can implement, to immediately increase their productivity and decrease stress.
The Four Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferriss
4HWW is a great book that is about much more than productivity. It was my personal introduction to a lot of new ways of thinking about work and life, so I will always have a soft spot for it. I re-read it at least once a year, and it has held up very, very well for a book about internet businesses written in 2006.
Use A Work Shutdown Ritual
This is an idea that I first encountered a long time ago, in a blog post from Cal Newport. It's more of a tool to reduce stress during non-work hours, but reducing stress is an essential part of getting more done during your work hours. Here is the gist of Cal's system:
"Here's my rule: After I've uttered the magic phrase, if a work-related worry pops to mind, I always answer it with the following thought process:
- I said the termination phrase.
- I wouldn't have said this phrase if I hadn't checked over all of my tasks, my calendar, and my weekly plan and decided that everything was captured and I was on top of everything.
- Therefore, there is no need to worry.
To form a good ritual you just need three things:
A quick series of steps for getting back on top of what's going on in your student or working life; something you can do in 5 minutes at the end of each day.
A phrase you say when you complete the ritual.
An agreement with yourself that after you've said the magic words, the only acceptable response to a work-related thought is to think through the steps required for you to say the termination phrase."
(I just finished Cal's new book, So Good They Can't Ignore You. It's pretty good, and I have to recommend it because the title is a quote from one of the best biographies ever written.)
Leechblock is a Firefox plugin that forces you to set hard limits on which sites you can access, and when. It can be useful in the early stages of information withdrawal, when your willpower occasionally needs a kick in the ass.
I'm guessing that some of my readers have skimmed this article and made it to this final section while reading nothing more than the headings. If this describes you, trust me – you need this article more than anyone. Scroll back up and power through it. But if that's too much, I'll close with some bullet-point action items:
- Reduce the amount of information you take in
- Batch your information consumption so it takes up less time
- Keep a notebook nearby so you can retain and organize information
- Experiment with productivity systems so that you can accomplish more, in less time
- For more information on how I organize my information diet, maximize my personal productivity, and generally kick ass in life, check out chapter four of The Thumotic Lifestyle Guide And 30-Day Challenge.
Now readers: Tell me about your information diet. What tools and mental re-frames have you used to cure yourself of bad productivity habits? Comments are open below, and I'll get to them in exactly one week.

Horace Miner's Study of Rural French Canada in Rapid Transition ca. 1936by Stephen MurrayMay 13, 2004
Popular Products in Books
The Bottom Line another ethnography that rapidly became a resource for history of a region
From $11
Having extracted my discussions of three other 1930s rural community studies by University of Chicago-trained anthropologists ( Milloca, Pascua, Suye Mura, villages in Sicily, Arizona, and Japan, respectively ), I decided to add my discussion of the fourth, even though the book is not in the database. (My discussion of Robert Redfield's book seems too lengthy and too technical, and I cover the specific works of Berkeley alumni too briefly to extract as reviews. The lengthy article I'm working on is titled "American Anthropology Discovers Peasants.") Like John Embree and Edward Spicer, Horace Miner was a protégé of Robert Redfield and much influenced by Radcliffe-Brown-style functionalism as a University of Chicago anthropology student. Like Spicer (and Charlotte Gower), Miner focused on religion, the "deeply ingrained" Catholicism "Lack of contact with persons of other convictions and the relative lack of functional problems in the mode of living mean that the particular native belief is rarely questioned. Life in St. Denis is a flow of traditional behavior. . . Religious behavior and thought dominate all life." Like Redfield, Miner aimed to provide an ethnographic description of a "folk culture in its least-altered existent form" (the most rural point of the folk-urban continuum) and to consider factors responsible for cultural change in the direction or urbanization and anglicization" (ix). Although Miner was interested in social and cultural change and urban influences on the countryside, St. Denis de Karmouraska at first seemed to Miner "so old French [that] I was worried there would be no outside influence. I lose no sleep over that now" (Miner:Redfield, 3 Aug. 1936). Redfields introduction to Saint Denis framed it as a study of peasants: "The habitants live in terms of common understandings which are rooted in tradition and which have come to form an organization. The fundamental views of life are shared by almost everyone; and these views find consistent expression in the beliefs, the institutions, the rituals, and the manner of the people. . . . The sanctions which support conduct are strongly sacred. . . . There is little disorganization and little crime." Redfield characterized "the French Canadians herein described. . . [as] almost the only North American peasants." Miner does not seem to have used the term "peasant" in the text, but when Redfield urged Miner to be frank about anything in the draft introduction that made him uncomfortable, and specifically wondered, "Perhaps there will be objection to calling rural French Canadians peasants; they seem peasants to me" (Redfield:Miner 9 Sep. 1938), Miner replied (14 Sep. 1938) that "peasant does not disturb me at all; it is a common term of reference in Canada." Miners original title had been "Quebec Folk "(with St. Denis in the subtitle), but in a 1963 foreword to a reprinting of St. Denis, he denied having "undertaken to illustrate or to test any social typology" (vii), noted that the "context of peasant culture" was supplied in Redfields introduction. Miner stressed that his "analysis of St. Denis was made along ethnological and structural-functional lines, strongly influenced by the teaching of A. R. Radcliffe-Brown. (It certainly has a Radcliffe-Brownian focus on kinship... and folk Catholicism was as exotic to Miner as to Redfield and to R-B). Miner approached change in culture change as resulting from social "structural forces and from diffusion, not as a shift away from a folk type of culture" (vi). Redfield himself noted the increased money income and the export of labor to factories rather than the agricultural pursuits that had been de facto exclusive in the traditional/folk society. While doing fieldwork, Miner disclaimed any "intention to be solely a reporter of the society of St. Denis, but rather [sought to be] a commentator on how the present culture reflects the change which is going on at present, the directions of this change, the means of its introduction, and the forces responsible for it" and to provide a basis for comparison of social changes elsewhere (Miner:Redfield, 30 Nov. 1936). George Peter Murdock lauded St. Denis in an American Anthropologist review as the most genuinely culture-explicating of recent community studies, and lauded it for making "explicit the traditionally patterned norms according to which people behave and organize their interpersonal relations" and for providing an outstanding analysis of social and political organization. "Religion and its intimate interpenetration with all other aspects of the culture are admirably portrayed, albeit with a certain Durkheimian rigidity" he wrote. Miner later undertook an anthropological study of a corn-belt county" in the United States, and preindustrial cities in Africa including a community study of Timbuctoo that was not published by the University of Chicago Press despite 1948-49 recommendations to do so from major figures in the field (Redfield, Sol Tax, Joseph Greenberg, and William Bascom) and Miners willingness to subvent publication. Eventually, it was published as a memoir of the American Philosophical Society in 1953, and criticized as applying rather than testing the folk-urban model, confounding multiethnicity and urbanism, and failing to distinguish normative from descriptive assertions. Miner went on to psychological anthropology research on purportedly rural ("oasis") and "urban" samples of Algerians born in a small town at the edge of the Sahara desert . Miner seems to have done little research after the midpoint of the twentieth century, though writing some general pieces about African urbanism/urbanization. defending the value of the folk-urban continuum, and writing a spoof of exoticizing cultures by looking at American culture as exotic in "Body ritual among the Nacirema" (an excerpt of which is online at http://www.msu.edu/~jdowell/miner.html. Miner taught at the University of Michigan from 1946 until Alzheimer's disease forced his retirement in the mid-1980s. He died in 1993. Like Embree and Spicer, Miner was newly married (to a woman née Agnes Murphy), though her contribution to his St. Denis fieldwork is less obvious than that of Ella Embree (who grew up in Japan) and Rosamond Spicer (who was also a University of Chicago anthropology graduate student during fieldwork in Pascua). There is a 2000 documentary made by Bernard Émond, entitled "Les Temps et le Lieu" that I have not seen on Miner and changes in St. Denis. (It is not listed in IMDB, but there was a National Film Board press release about it.) I'm sure that Émond found the control exercised by priests lessened. Québec nationalism has been decidedly a secular movement, and French Canadian sociology/anthropology of religion has been preoccupied with the sharp decline in the status of religion as part of what is generally known as Québec's "Quiet Revolution." |

The picket fence area at the bird feeding patio. Has a space for planting...last season I planted a dwarf butterfly bush. From guidance of the landscape nursery we use. But the harsh winter...was not kind to many yards. It among other things just didn't make it. Since we get critters at the feeders...ground hog,raccoon,opossum...and all the other typical critter life. Something that can withstand a bit of trampling possibly. Thus I thought shrub like plant. But, maybe I am not seeing potential of what could be planted... It gets dappled sunlight...but being next to a ravine not many hours of it. The fence is just under 3' and being 3' wide. |

It really needs something since my husband decided to PAINT it! I thought we discussed dry brushing paint on if he felt it needed painted. So it is so starkly fresh painted. Hoping something planted will not make it such a beacon... My other picket fence birdhouse area...as you can see was dry brushed...sigh...it is what it is...now...to hide the paint with plants. |

Till I saw how shady it was I was thinking sunflowers and hollyhocks for vertical impact. How about foxgloves and rose campion? They look great together, and are fairly simply to grow, even from seed. Nancy. |
Are you a fan of hosta? I consider that a silly question since how could anyone not be, but ... I would plant hosta, astilbe (if you will water it), ferns, heuchera, Dicentra spectabilis (now referred to as Lamprocapnos spectabilis) which is so pretty in spring, etc. Also, had an idea about the paint-now that it has such a great base, you could dry brush over it with that same blue or maybe green or the red of your shutters. I think that would look great! |
Oh, Nancy is right. Foxglove would be wonderful. I never seem able to succeed with them, but I do love them! |
- Posted by cadillactaste zone 5 Ohio (My Page) on Sat, Jul 5, 14 at 16:04
Nancy...I had briefly thought sunflowers since birds could as well eat the seeds. But as you mention...not near enough sun. I absolutely LOVE foxgloves...my son bought me some for this past years Mother's Day. I worry though about the raccoon that do climb up on the fence...breaking their stocks down. But I am looking for some color to add...Rose champions are beautiful! Never even knew about them...(what I like from this forum is the knowledge of so many who do know of spectacular plants!) Cyn, funny you mention dry brushing another color to the fence...my husband is painting the remainder of that birdhouse a brown. I thought to use that...and dry brush it on the cream picket fence to mute it down a bit...but, now that you mention the red...which is the roof's top color of the birdhouse. I am pondering possibly going that route as well. (Though I was second guessing dry brushing a second color...you have made me bold in wanting to definitely do it now!) I will have to google some of the names you put for suggestions...because I am not aware of a few. I do have hostas back near that area though. Though I met one woman...who cuts the stocks before they bloom OFF! She thinks it makes them look messy. (That was the first I had ever heard if one doing that) Appreciate all your input...I am thrilled with the idea of putting something back there...besides a shrub it is amazing how tunnel vision my brain can get though. For I had thought that my only option. |
You know, you might (just might) get coneflowers to bloom there. The goldfinches love them and are such fun to watch as they sit and eat the seeds on the flower! I have some that don't get full sun and they are fantastic. Might be worth a try. I forgot to tell you how pretty it is there and in your other photo, too! I have mostly shade here, but a lot of the big trees seem to be dying or are being taken down by neighbors. I am noticing more sun lately-not good for what I have planted! Oh well. I will just have to plant more trees. :) Please keep us posted on what you decide to do! Cynthia |

Cyn...I actually had planted once the heuchera...they'd didn't do well. Possibly not juglone tolerant where located, or...the dogs killed them. For they had to learn not to water the flower beds. But...those were one of the first I had planted...again...did poorly, but...it had many scenarios that could have been the cause. Loved the foliage color. The Lamprocapnos spectabilis...are the blooms fragile? Nancy...I am in LOVE with the Rose Champion! Curious if one should plant the entire area that...or have additional along with it. The foliage seems pretty even without bloom. |
The bleeding heart will disappear completely in the summer heat and then come back the next spring. The blooms aren't especially fragile and although the bloom time isn't all that long, I just think they look so pretty with my other plants. I hear you about the heuchera. I have some that seem to be doing great and others that either don't grow much or don't even last a season. I do love the colors though! |
Rose campion needs full sun... |

"When you can customize a policy based on the needs and profiles of a specific group, you can most likely provide more value for less money, and that is exactly what the ECPA Insurance Program does." -- Mark Kuyper, ECPA President/CEO
The Ministry Services Group and Marketing Financial Group have two sales offices strategically located for ECPA members, one in Chicago, IL and the other in Colorado Springs, CO. The Ministry Services Group team consists of several industry leaders who have been insuring and earning the trust of Christian Organizations like yours for over 35 years.
Marketing Financial Group's Ministry Services Group specializes in group insurance programs. I think you will find their knowledge, experience and understanding of the specialized business of insuring Christian publishers and other religious-based institutions to be invaluable. Not only do they have the knowledge but they also have the experience from constructing similar insurance programs for other associations similar to ECPA.
Some of the advantages these groups have experienced include:
Don't wait until a claim strikes; take a proactive step now to protect your staff, your organization and the resources God has entrusted to you.

Guide for Step 2 CS -Updated for 2014! Part 1
Medicine and medical education have changed significantly over the years. In order to cater for these changes, the USMLE has also evolved. Each year, the changes planned for the USMLE exams are posted online at USMLE.org.
It has been an understanding among candidates that the Step 2 CS exam has the lowest difficulty level among the USMLE exams. This has led many candidates to wrongly estimate the effort required for clearing the exam. As mentioned in the changes, the difficulty level for the CS exam and the grading policy has been revised. Due to these changes, there has been an increase in the number of IMGs failing to clear the exam. A setback at this level can be detrimental for a candidate's chances for matching.
This article aims to increase the knowledge of aspiring USMLE Step 2 CS candidates and present these changes in a summarized form. The author and fellow contributors to this article have provided an approach which they believe would help increase the chances of clearing the exam successfully. Continue reading
Success tips for new medical interns
Success tips for new medical interns
This article is a reflection on the process and the valuable lessons I learned from my internal medicine residency which I recently completed. I am sharing my experiences to give incoming residents some tips based on the errors I made and from what I observed around me. I will cover the major points below.
I observed that without any prior academic or practical experience in the US, it becomes a difficult and time consuming process for new interns to get accustomed to the foreign system. Prior experience can be gained in the form of completing medical electives in US medical schools. Although the duration of these electives is usually not more than a few months, they provide valuable insights into work processes, performance requirements and culture. Continue reading
Best Practices for Becoming a good resident
There is more to becoming a good resident than just fulfilling the minimum program requirements. You need to possess a competitive edge that allows you to stand out and be a cut above the flock. It's best to leave a lasting impression during your residency program and once you complete it. This impression is very important, especially if you want to enjoy the benefits of networking, referrals and collaborative opportunities. Continue reading
Paper work after the Match and Filing for Visas- Updated
I am writing this to share my experience of all the paper work after the match. As soon as you match you should immediately get in touch with the coordinator and ask for all the relevant paper work. Do not shy away from calling and repeatedly contacting him/her. Don't be rude but be persistent as they have lots of work to do and some times your work can slip off their mind. So a gentle reminder can be helpful to both. Continue reading

ABC News' Bret Hovell and Matt Stuart Report: Senator John McCain had a testy exchange with a high school student in Concord, NH, Tuesday, but one that McCain himself characterized as "what America is supposed to be about."
William Sleaster, a student at Concord High School rose to ask McCain a question about gay rights and, ultimately dissatisfied by the answer he received from McCain, told the Republican presidential contender that he'd come looking to see a leader and didn't.
McCain first answered the high school student by talking about his support for Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the military's policy regarding gays, and about his belief in the sanctity of marriage.
"Discrimination in any form is unacceptable in America today," McCain said.
"I understand the controversy that continues to swirl around this issue," McCain said. "That debate needs to be continued."
Sleaster pressed on. "Do you support civil unions or gay marriage?"
"I do not," McCain answered. "I think that they impinge on the status and the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman."
"So you believe in taking away someone's rights because you believe it's wrong?"
"I wouldn't put that interpretation on my position, but I understand yours," McCain said diplomatically.
Sleaster went on to ask another question about how to help the working class in America, which McCain fielded by talking about the country's need to figure out education and health care, and to secure the environment.
Sleaster indicated that he wanted to follow up again.
"You have one more? Go ahead you're doing good," McCain encouraged.
"I came here looking to see a leader," Sleaster said. "I don't."
The assembled students murmured, and a teacher started to step in.
"I understand," McCain said. "I thank you. That's what America is all about."

I Might Try Rowatinex
The first month of the new year is nearly over and I can say I'm happy as far as the resolutions I have on my list are concerned. Among the top priority are to save money and to live healthily. So, I stash a small amount of money every day. As for healthy living, I try to get 8 hours of sleep, drink a lot of water and eat healthful food and avoid salty and fatty ones. I take my maintenance medicine religiously and I take supplement every single night. So far, my usual health problems are not making their presence felt. My blood pressure is stable and my urinary tract is working properly so I guess my kidneys are in good shape. I started having kidney problems in my junior year in high school and I was hospitalized due to kidney problem in college. Though I've been feeling well for the past several years I still consider trying rowatinex for kidney support. I'm no longer as young as I used to be and I think it will be a good idea to be very careful. After all , health is wealth.
Wanna Try Boomwhackers
As I mentioned several times before, I started to play the guitar when I was 13. Though I did not learn to play as well as my brother did, at least I can play a few songs. I tried the piano but since I didn't have my own instrument I did not do very well with it.
However, it was the singing that I really enjoyed. And being member of the school choir, I learned to handle other simple musical instruments like the tambourine and the guiro. Learning those instruments inspired me to try the harmonica on which I can play one song, a traditional Filipino folk song.
When I went to college, I got more daring and tried the drums. It was fun. But it required lots of energy. I enjoyed it, but it was actually the jamming with friends that I enjoyed more.
Now that I'm much older, I'm considering to try something else. If I have time, I would like to try the boomwhackers. I have no idea how it's being played but I guess that's the exciting part, I mean starting from zero.
A Novel and a Movie
As I assume my new status in life, that is mother-father-house help-tutor rolled in one, I'm somehow surprised how I'm still able to find some time to read and watch. Surely, since these are among my favorite things to do, instead of finding time to do them, I, myself, create time for them.
So, that's how I was able to finish The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene and the movie Blended starring two of my favorite Hollywood artists, Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. The former made me cry while the latter made me laugh.
Well, when I'm able to create more time, I'll be posting about them…
On Christmas and Vintage Guitars
Oh my gosh! Have you visited the malls lately? If you do, then you must have heard Christmas carols all around.
Well, this might sound embarrassing, but I love carols, as a matter of fact I used to do caroling with my friends way back in high school and college. What more did we used to sing but the classic Christmas carols like O, Holy Night, Silent Night, Silver Bells and the Christmas Song accompanied by our beloved vintage guitar which was an heirloom even then.
I'm sorry about that but I really can't help reminiscing memories of Christmas past, after all, this joyous occasion is just around the corner and a few more sleeps and it's Christmas once more..
If We Could Transport That
It's the –ber months! And what does it signify? That Christmas is getting closer..
In my excitement, I checked out some pictures of Christmas last year and came across my sister's gift to my brother-in-law, an awesome kayak. Wow! If only we could simply come over and try it, right? But considering the distance, I think that is impossible.
So, another option would be to ship that beautiful kayak over here. Why not? I checked out www.mtlworld.com and I guess it can be done. Oh! Isn't that wonderful? I'm not into fishing but I do believe getting on that kayak is a lot of fun.
Lonesome but Hopeful
This is the third time that my husband left. The first was in 2009, next was in 2011 and then now. Other people said being married to an overseas contract worker is difficult only at first, that I'll get used to it eventually and that it'll get easier in time. I greatly and desperately wish that 'in time' would come really soon.
The night before my husband left was the hardest. There was a giant ball of fire lodged in my throat and I had difficulty breathing. I knew I had to be strong, if not for myself at least for my kids. But it was so difficult. I pray to God every minute to give me strength to bear it. I simply couldn't break down, otherwise, my husband would feel even worse that he already did.
The moment my husband was out of sight, I tried my hardest to act normal. I prepared my kids for school, but as soon as they were gone, I lay down and wept.
After crying for hours, I picked myself up and got ready for another day. After all, what is another two years, right?
Dating at Home
When my husband wasn't home yet, we were actually talking about what we should do to spend quality time together. We considered going out of town but it proved to be too expensive and exhausting. Then, we talked about going to the mall, eating out and watching a movie. But even that proved to be tiring. So, we settled for staying at home and watching Korean dramas while holding hands at the sofa.
Among those that we watched already are: My Love from Another Star, The Moon Embracing the Sun, Faith, Master's Sun, I Can Hear Your Voice and now we're watching The Heirs. Well, is it obvious that I like Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Min Ho?
Well, yes, I like them… a lot
Cool Checkered Tablecloths
A few months ago, a box arrived from my sister in Alabama. It's a package we get every year and it's one of the special things we look forward to. As usual, my kids got clothes. My son got some cool tees and pants and a nice pair of leather sandal. My daughters got trendy tops and sexy denim shorts, those types that my sister and I have wanted when we were young but that my parents couldn't afford to buy for us. As for me, I got nice bed sheets with matching pillow cases and tablecloths, as requested. Yes, I am crazy over those stuff, making me feel more homey than I really am. So, my sister doesn't need to ask what I want when she's preparing our box, she already knows that I'd be extremely thankful for checkered tablecloths.
Love of My Life
Yes, he's finally come. That explains also why I haven't been able to update my blogs lately.
It's been a long time I almost forgot what it feels like to have someone beside me when I sleep at night and to wake up with a familiar face to greet you. Now I realized how difficult it has been for me. I haven't noticed it, or maybe I simply refused to acknowledge how lonely and burdened I felt during our separation knowing I had no choice but to bear everything.
Life is indeed beautiful. It is difficult, but that only makes it more worth living…
Missing Our Pet Cat
As I posted a couple of months ago, my daughter, Mika, was bitten by our beloved pet Cat, Pippa when she unknowingly rolled over the poor cat on the bed. Naturally, we went to the nearest clinic so Mika could have anti-rabies shots. After that, much as we love Pippa, we knew that we couldn't keep her in the house any more, lest she bites any one of us again.
By the beginning of the summer vacation, my kids and I left to spend summer in the province. I endorsed Pippa to my brother's capable hands. As soon as we got back after a month, I noticed that our beloved cat was no longer around. I knew then that she was gone. I hated to admit it but I really miss her. Though sending her away means I no longer have to worry about prescription pet medications, it doesn't ease the loneliness of losing someone I've considered family for 4 years. Wherever you are, Pippa, I hope you're in good hands..

Informed by an ever-growing body of developmental research, classes at The Music Class introduce tots to tunes and concepts that boost creativity and listening skills. In Music Pups (a $72 value) courses, children under 4 years of age gleefully sing, dance, and bang away on rudimentary instruments such as the drums or theremin. Four and 5-year-olds learn concepts of tone and rhythm in the Music Cats course (a $77 value), which lets kids experiment with keyboards before defending their dissertations on the narrative redundancies of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." Each 45-minute course meets four times in one month-long segment, and includes CDs for parents to play at home to follow up on in-class tutelage. This Groupon may also be used toward The Music Class' ten-week music courses.
• founded in 2003 • multi-disciplinary classical approach to arts education • encourage students to become versatile performers who can draw upon a rich pallet of skills, techniques & forms in their artistic expression • nurturing laboratory for personal development • committed to inspiring excellence in young people
With more than 100,000 lessons taught, our award winning teaching studio continues to be the first choice in music lessons among students of all ages.
Begginers - advanced are welcome. We offer lessons in guitar, piano, violin, drums, singing, saxophone, flute, clarinet, acting/drama, music therapy, and much more.
Music Matters is a locally owned music lesson facility & retail music store. We have three locations; Roswell, Alpharetta, and John's Creek that offer lessons in over 15 types of instruments plus voice! Individual session rooms and experienced teachers can help bring out the musician in you.
The Athens School of Music's skilled instructors impart students of all ages and skill levels with note-hitting know-how. The one-on-one lessons–overseen by experienced musicians trained in a variety of styles–enhance pupils' relationships with an array of instruments, including guitar, piano, and electric kazoo. Seven studios enable artists to pluck in tranquil solitude, a piano room summons strummers, and a sound-reinforced drum room with two kits creates a perfect percussion palace and an ideal place to practice eating with drumsticks. While waiting for lessons to begin, students can relax, collaborate, or silently air jam in the school's comfortable, couch-adorned lobby.

One of the wonderful things my late wife did for me was teach me how to put some bad memories into boxes and close them rather than have them all running around my head at the same time. Its like trying to control a litter of puppies at once instead of one at a time; its crazy, but by putting each one in a box and opening it only when necessary, there is some amount of control.
I dont think there is a closer relationship than between buddies in a combat situation. Yes, a husband or wife comes close, but usually there isnt a constant threat of being killed. (Some folks may argue that point after enduring an argument about whos taking out the trash or changing a diaper.)
So fortunately I made it through OK, while being able to take part in the very well done ceremonies here in Winonas Veterans Park. There are very few communities that show their appreciation for veterans as much as Winona. You should feel proud; I do.
On a stickier note, I was presented an early Fathers Day gift by one of my sons and daughters-in-law: a griddle! (No, not girdle griddle.) It seems every time she wants to buy me something, I beat her to the check out and have found the same product on sale somewhere; she beat me this time. I havent cranked it up yet but plan on it today. Look out now, omelets and pancakes! Using that device will take away the problem of uneven heat that I have with the frying pans. It will also give me more spatula flipping room so that my planned omelets dont always end up being scrambled eggs.
Im still researching quiche and its French origins. I checked the favorite dog-eared Joy of Cooking, revised and enlarged, cookbook recipe which once again was Greek rather than French to me, but at least I found somewhere to start. This cookbook is not quite as old as some others. I noticed my wife had written her name and address in the front. The address would indicate it would be in the 1969-era, which is pretty new in my cookbook supply. It is one thing for me to try to interpret kitchenese, but for Marion and Irma to show off their French, I was in some pretty deep eau. Dont fret however. If Im nothing else, Im stubborn. If they want quiche, theyll get quiche. I have a cookbook sent to me by a reader, the Man without a Mate Cookbook. Bob Lunt has a quiche recipe, and its in English kitchenese.
Enjoy this wonderful weather!

The National Association Of Corporate Directors (NACD) Names Corporate Governance Communications Expert Elizabeth Saunders To The Prestigious 'Directorship 100': Governance Professionals And Institutions List
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), the global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their enterprise value, congratulates Elizabeth (Beth) Saunders on her recognition as a 2013 National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) 'Directorship 100': Governance Professionals and Institutions honoree. Ms. Saunders is a Senior Managing Director and the Americas Chairman of the Strategic Communications segment at FTI Consulting, and is one of few communications strategists to be named to this prestigious list, reiterating a growing importance of boardroom and executive communications.
The 'Directorship 100' represents the most influential business professionals in the boardroom community, including corporate governance experts, directors, journalists and regulators. This year's seventh annual 'Directorship 100' is composed of 100 individuals, including 50 public company directors, who exemplify excellence, knowledge and leadership in corporate governance.
"Beth's inclusion in this year's 'Directorship 100' is great recognition of her impressive achievements and the gold-standard counsel she provides our clients every day. Beth's recognition is significant for the Strategic Communications segment at FTI Consulting, as well as for the greater communications industry," said Edward J. Reilly, Global Chief Executive Officer of the Strategic Communications segment at FTI Consulting. "Our research has found that shareholders are calling for greater transparency among corporate boards of directors and management teams. Consequently, boards and executives are facing more complex challenges magnified by an intensified threat of shareholder activism, making corporate governance communications experts such as Beth, a critical asset to public companies."
In addition to serving as the Americas Chairman of the Company's Strategic Communications segment, Ms. Saunders leads the firm's Financial Communications practice in North America. She has served as senior counsel to a range of companies through leadership transition, post-merger-communication and restructuring assignments, and is renowned for her expertise in corporate governance and capital market communications strategies, including initial public offerings.
"Since 2009, shareholder activism triggers have increased exponentially in complexity, fueled by amplified 'balance-sheet activism' and more direct involvement by institutions rather than advisors," said Ms. Saunders. "In the face of these trends, our clients and other partners such as the NACD have recognized the value of communications specialists in helping companies activate communications, reputation management and stakeholder engagement strategies to protect and enhance their enterprise value. As many forward-thinking companies have recognized, no industry or company remains untouched, and much like investor relations was 10 years ago, corporate governance communications is quickly becoming a critical element to doing business in the 21 st century." 'Directorship 100' nominations were submitted by a cross-section of directors and NACD constituents, including the NACD board of directors, NACD chapter leaders and previous honorees. Ms. Saunders and the other 2013 award recipients will be formally honored at the NACD 'Directorship 100' gala on December 3, 2013 in New York. For more insights, strategies and critical action items specific to corporate governance, shareholder activism and CEO communications, contact the Strategic Communications segment at FTI Consulting.

Goal hero Chopra hails team-mates
Michael Chopra thanked team-mate Peter Whittingham for gifting him his first hat-trick in two-and-a half years as he fired Cardiff top of the Championship. The Cardiff striker had already put City 2-0 up at Plymouth before Chris Burke was fouled in the box. Designated penalty taker Whittingham handed Chopra the ball to score his sixth goal already this season. "Credit to Whitts as many players, including myself, would have taken it regardless," he said. "I was looking over to the .... read more
