Roy Fisher (11 June 1930 – 21 March 2017) was an English poet and jazz pianist. His poetry shows an openness to both European and American modernist influences, while remaining grounded in the experience of living in the English Midlands. Fisher has experimented with a wide range of styles throughout his career, largely working outside of the mainstream of post-war British poetry. He has been admired by poets and critics as diverse as Donald Davie, Eric Mottram, Marjorie Perloff, and Sean O'Brien.

Life

Roy Fisher was born in June 1930 at 74 Kentish Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, the home into which his parents had moved in 1919 and where they lived until their deaths. His mother Emma was 39 at the time of Fisher's birth. A sister and a brother preceded him. His father Walter Fisher was a craftsman in the jewellery trade, the family 'poor and prudent'. His parents had no political or religious affiliations, but his father was a chorister at a local church. Fisher describes the landscape of his childhood as 'ugly', the industrial sprawl of Smethwick to the south of Handsworth a place of danger. The grimy cityscape, the bomb damage of the war, and the industrial decline of the post-war years were important influences on Fisher. But 'something called Nature' was also present early in his life, with excursions into the nearby countryside a regular aspect of family life.

Fisher went to Handsworth Grammar School. As a teenager he became interested in jazz and taught himself to play the piano. He was particularly influenced by a group of Chicago musicians including Bud Freeman, Pee Wee Russell, and the pianist Joe Sullivan. By his late teens he was playing in public with local bands.

In 1948 he went to Birmingham University to read English. After graduating and qualifying as a teacher, he taught from 1953 at the grammar school in Newton Abbott, Devon, as part of a team engaged in a radical revision of English teaching methods. In the same year Fisher married artist Barbara Venables; they were to have two children. His son Ben was Head of French at University of Bangor, and creator of one of the world's most popular narrow-gauge railway websites; his daughter Sukey is a screenwriter.

Returning to Birmingham in 1957, where he again worked as a jazz musician and began encountering, often late at night, the material that would prompt new poetry and prose, Fisher worked as a specialist Drama teacher in a primary school, moving to Dudley College of Education in 1958. In 1963 he was appointed to Bordesley College of Education in Birmingham as Principal Lecturer and Head of Department of English and Drama. In 1971 Fisher moved to Keele University where he taught in the Department of American Studies until 1982. After leaving Keele he continued to work as a writer and jazz musician, a second career he had sustained since the late 1950s playing with a number of his childhood heroes including Bud Freeman and Wild Bill Davison when they were touring Britain.

Fisher moved to Upper Hulme, Staffordshire Moorlands in 1982, and to Earl Sterndale in Derbyshire in 1986. In 1985 he was divorced from Barbara Venables Fisher, who died in 2007. In 1987 he married the playwright Joyce Holliday and outlived her by fifteen years. He died at home on 21 March 2017, aged 86.

Work

Early work
In 1954 Fisher had two short poems broadcast on the BBC by Charles Causley, and another published in a small press magazine The Window. The latter caught the eye of the poet Gael Turnbull who was putting together a British issue of the American magazine Origin, edited by Cid Corman, and he asked Fisher to contribute. Fisher and Turnbull became friends, and remained close until Turnbull's death in 2004.

Turnbull introduced Fisher to the work of American modernist poets including William Carlos Williams, Robert Creeley, Charles Olson, and Louis Zukovsky, as well as to Basil Bunting, whom he met through Turnbull. Cid Corman also provided poetry tutorials by post. In these writers Fisher encountered an aesthetic that was serious and demanding. It was this rather than any stylistic mannerism he took from them.

Publication of Fisher's work during his first ten years as a poet owed a great deal to Turnbull. Fisher's first pamphlet City (1961) was published by Turnbull's Migrant Press. The assemblage of verse and prose which makes up the text, was compiled from Fisher's notebooks by Michael Shayer, Turnbull's partner at Migrant. Fisher was dissatisfied with the pamphlet but it 'caught people's attention.'

A second pamphlet, Ten Interiors with Various Figures, was published by Tarasque Press in 1966, a surreal sequence of narrative poems some with quite short lines but many using a very long line close to prose. That same year Fisher also published The Ships Orchestra with Fulcrum Press, a long prose sequence again showing the influence of surrealism. The initial idea for the work came from Picasso's 'Three Musicians'. Fisher wrote this work sequentially, each new section generated out of the preceding material. The work grows organically, following no plot, and avoiding any sense of dramatic development. The writing is often very funny and can be viewed as a verbal equivalent of the cubist technique Picasso employs in the painting.

After these publications Fisher reached an impasse and, apart from fulfilling a commission to make performance-translations of three Schubert song-cycles, wrote nothing for 5 years. In 1968 when Fulcrum published Collected Poems, bringing together all of the work Fisher wished to preserve, the poet thought he would not write again.

The 1970s
Fisher emerged from this period of blocked creativity in 1971, composing a number of prose pieces and sequences of poems. 'The Cut Pages' is the most radical of these 1970s works and remains Fisher's most challenging. The late sixties had been personally difficult years and Fisher kept a journal in which he recorded the 'grisly' details of his life. 'The Cut Pages' Fisher describes as an 'exercise in self-permission'. He cut the blank pages from his notebook with a razor and started to write on them the 'converse' of what was in the journal – things 'there was no constraint upon'. He continued writing until he had used up all the pages. The American critic Marjorie Perloff describes the poem as having affinities with Samuel Beckett and as an 'unwitting precursor' of the experiments of Ron Silliman and other Language poets a decade later. 'The Cut Pages' became the title sequence for a 1971 publication from Fulcrum that also contained a four further prose pieces.

Matrix was also published in 1971 by Fulcrum. The title sequence, 'Matrix', like a number of Fisher's poems, draws upon painting, in this case Böcklin's series of pictures called 'The Isle of the Dead' and Monet's late paintings of waterlilies. This volume also includes 'Glenthorne Poems', 'The Six Deliberate Acts,' and a number of collaborations with visual artists. Two of his works, 'Correspondence' and 'Metamorphoses', were illustrated by Tom Phillips and published in 1970 by Tetrad, a small London press run by artist Ian Tyson. 'Also' a collaboration with artist Derrick Greaves was published by Tetrad in 1972, and the same year the artist Ronald King published Bluebeard's Castle with text by Fisher. Other collaborations with King followed over a period of twenty-five years, mostly appearing as Artist's Books and all issued by his Circle Press.

Fisher produced work steadily during the 1970s and published a further volume in 1978, The Thing About Joe Sullivan, this time with Carcanet. It was a Poetry Book Society Choice. The volume includes 'Handsworth Liberties', a sequence of sixteen poems written between 1974 and 1977. These poems recall images of the neighbourhood where he grew up. Fisher described the writing of these pieces as an attempt to 'repel the invasion of landscape' associated with childhood memories.

'Wonders of Obligation', composed in 1979, marks a new development in Fisher's work, which combines a greater freedom of movement through the compositional elements, and a further fluency and directness in both evocation and comment.

A Furnace
In 1980 Oxford University Press published Poems 1955–1980, affording Fisher's work a level of recognition it had not previously enjoyed. Six years later OUP published A Furnace,  an ambitious book-length poem structured around the idea of a double spiral with a central section, 'Core', flanked by sections where passages move 'in' or 'out' from the core. An 'Introit' provides the background and context to the work. As with Fisher's other work, it is a collage of images, but here drawn from a wide range of places and historical periods. In 1980 Fisher travelled outside of Britain for the first time and A Furnace includes references to a prehistoric burial site in Brittany, to Paris, Trier, Chicago and to Ampurias in Spain. Bunting's Briggflatts is in some senses a model, though Fisher allows himself more space and the language is less compacted than in Bunting.

A further collection, Poems 1955–1987, was published by OUP in 1988, mainly collecting previous published work.

Later poems
In 1992 the poet and film maker Tom Pickard produced a documentary about Fisher with funding from the Arts Council called Birmingham's What I Think With. Fisher wrote a sequence of poems for the film describing the city of his birth. These were published by OUP in 1994 along with other new work in a collection titled Birmingham River. The collaboration with Ronald King continued with Top Down Bottom Up published in 1989, and Anansi Company appearing in 1991. A pamphlet, It Follows That, issued by Pig Press, also appeared in 1994.

In 1996 Bloodaxe published Dow Low Drop: New and Selected Poems. Dow Low is a quarried-out hillside near Fisher's home in Derbyshire. 'Dow Low Drop', and the poem 'It Follows That' republished here, both include sections of prose, a form Fisher had not used since the 1960s.

In an interview with Peter Robinson given in 1998 Fisher questions the idea that his work has gone through distinct periods of development, and the collected poems The Long and the Short of It, published by Bloodaxe in 2005, does not present the poems in a chronological sequence. In a note at the end of the book Fisher says: 'my habits of working on projects from time to time over long periods and my heterodox approach to the methods I use would make an arrangement that seemed chronological false: so nothing of the kind is here attempted.'

A later collection, Standard Midland, was published in 2010 by Bloodaxe, and shortlisted that year for the Costa Poetry Award. The poems were incorporated into a revised edition of The Long and the Short of It (2012). Standard Midland includes poems in various styles from lighter pieces, to more characteristic work, including two enigmatic prose poems, and another of his collaborative pieces with Ronald King. A further volume, Slakki: New & Neglected Poems, was published by Bloodaxe in October 2016.

Critical reception
As early as 1962, Denise Levertov–in an article published in Kultur–singled Fisher out as one of the most promising young poets in Britain. His early poems appeared in several influential anthologies: Michael Horovitz's Children of Albion (1969), Edward Lucie-Smith's British Poetry Since 1945 (1971) and Jon Silkin's Poetry of the Committed Individual (1973) – all published by Penguin.

Fisher attracted the attention of a diverse range of critics and reviewers over the years. Eric Mottram, writing in Stand (1969–70) praised Fisher as an experimental modernist, while Donald Davie, in a chapter devoted to Fisher in Thomas Hardy and British Poetry (1973), claimed affinities with what he considered a native tradition. Peter Robinson has suggested that this kind of 'dualism of approach', with modernists and traditionalists both claiming Fisher as one of their own, has continued to the present. Fisher himself never sought to associate with any particular camp or school, and his writing during all periods of his career embraces a range of styles. Critics as diverse as Andrew Crozier, Sean O'Brien, and Marjorie Perloff have written in praise of Fisher, though from very different perspectives.

Despite the quality of his work, Fisher never enjoyed the level of celebrity accorded to some of his contemporaries. Davie says that Fisher was a victim of "the blindness and condescension of the metropolis to writing which is provincial in its origins or its subject matter". In interviews, Fisher described himself as being highly conscious of his provincial and class background. At the same time, Fisher never sought celebrity, being largely indifferent to the world of poetry prizes and media hype. While admired by many poets and dedicated poetry readers he remains largely unknown to a wider reading public.

News for the Ear: A Homage to Roy Fisher edited by Peter Robinson and Robert Sheppard appeared in 2000, as a tribute to the poet on his seventieth birthday. A volume of critical essays, The Thing About Roy Fisher, edited by John Kerrigan and Peter Robinson, was published the same year. A compendium of interviews with Fisher, Interviews Through Time, edited by Tony Fraser, also appeared in 2000, with an updated version issued in 2013.

In 2010, An Unofficial Roy Fisher edited by Peter Robinson was published in celebration of the poet's eightieth birthday. This book includes work by Fisher not collected elsewhere, as well as tributes from other poets and commentary on his work. The work also includes an update to the invaluable bibliography published in The Thing About Roy Fisher, compiled by Derek Slade.

In 2003, Fisher was made lifetime Honorary Poet of the City of Birmingham. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2005.

Cannon Hall est une maison de campagne située entre les villages de Cawthorne et High Hoyland, à environ 8 km à l'ouest de Barnsley, dans le Yorkshire du Sud, en Angleterre. À l'origine la maison des Spencer et plus tard de la famille Spencer-Stanhope, il abrite aujourd'hui des collections de beaux meubles, peintures, céramiques et verrerie. Il abritait autrefois le Musée régimentaire des / Royal Hussars (Queen Mary's Own) et des Light Dragoons, qui est maintenant fermé . Occupant désormais quatre salles dans l'aile est, l'exposition « Family of Artists » prêtée par la Fondation De Morgan, qui s'appuie sur les liens entre les Spencer Stanhopes et les De Morgan .

Le bâtiment est construit en grès nivelé avec des bordures en pierre de taille avec une disposition symétrique d'un bloc central de 3 étages de 5 travées et des ailes latérales de 2 étages de 3 travées légèrement en retrait .

Histoire
Bien qu'il y ait eu une maison sur le site lorsque l'enquête Domesday de 1086 est menée, Cannon Hall prend son nom actuel de l'habitant du  Gilbert Canun. À la fin du , Cannon Hall appartient à la famille Bosville, d'Ardsley, aujourd'hui une banlieue au sud-est de Barnsley. C'est durant cette période que se produit l'événement le plus violent de l'histoire de Cannon Hall. Les Bosville ont loué le manoir à une famille (dont le nom a été perdu), dont la fille est amoureuse d'un homme nommé Lockwood. Lockwood est impliqué dans le meurtre de Sir John Elland, le haut shérif du Yorkshire. Le locataire, effrayé de la situation dans laquelle il pourrait se trouver de loger un fugitif, fait prévenir Bosville. Les hommes de Bosville arrivent à Cannon Hall, où le fugitif est tué d'une manière cruelle et violente.

L'histoire de Cannon Hall se calme après cet épisode particulièrement désagréable. En 1660, le domaine est acheté par John Spencer, un fabricant gallois de râteaux à foin. La famille Spencer arrive dans le Yorkshire en provenance du Montgomeryshire dans les frontières galloises, un endroit plus sûr que le Pays de Galles pour ceux qui ont des sympathies royalistes comme celles des Spencer (John Spencer a même réussi à obtenir le pardon de Charles II lui-même lorsque John est détenu dans la prison de York sur des accusations d'homicide involontaire). La famille Spencer est active dans l'industrie sidérurgique et houillère locale - notamment sous John Spencer (mort en 1729) qui profite de la mort de ses associés pour en prendre le contrôle . La famille construit un immense empire et finance la reconstruction de Cannon Hall.

Le noyau de l'actuel Cannon Hall est construit à l'ouverture du  pour John Spencer Stanhope, peut-être par John Etty de York, plus sûrement avec des menuiseries intérieures de William Thornton, un autre artisan local bien connu. Il est agrandi avec l'ajout d'ailes en 1764-1767 par le premier architecte mi-géorgien travaillant dans le Yorkshire, . Par la suite, les ailes sont rehaussées, donnant la masse plutôt haute bloquée que l'on voit aujourd'hui. Le dernier membre de la famille, Elizabeth, vend la maison au conseil de Barnsley en 1951.

Cannon Hall Museum ouvre ses portes au public en 1957 .

Activités actuelles
Le musée, le parc et les jardins de Cannon Hall sont détenus et exploités par le District métropolitain de Barnsley. Le château propose un programme d'événements, notamment le bal annuel de la Régence, une foire de Noël chaque année en décembre et des visites guidées, des ateliers et des activités pour les enfants tout au long de l'année. Un fleuriste, une boutique de plantes et de cadeaux a également été récemment créé dans l'ancienne dépendance du hangar de rempotage à côté du jardin clos.

Jardins et collection de plantes historiques

Le parc entourant la salle est aménagé au  par Richard Woods de Chertsey et comprend des hectares de parc, de lacs, de cascades, de folies et de panoramas. Les terrains d'agrément victoriens sont situés à proximité du jardin clos géorgien, qui abrite une collection de plus de quarante variétés de poiriers, entre autres plantes.

Les serres centrales reconstruites à l'époque victorienne abritent également la vigne d'origine Cannon Hall Muscat. Réputé cultivé à partir d'une graine ramenée de Grèce par John Spencer Stanhope, le grand raisin de table blanc est largement cultivé en Californie et en Australie occidentale (orthographe locale, Canon Hall Muscat) et sert de porte-greffe pour un certain nombre de cultivars hybrides haut de gamme, dont le Cépage Pione du Japon .

Fondation De Morgan
En mars 2016, le Cannon Hall Museum et la De Morgan Foundation, un organisme de bienfaisance  préservant le travail de William De Morgan et Evelyn De Morgan, concluent une collaboration qui voit l'ouverture de l'exposition à long terme « Family of Artists » dans l'aile est du Musée .

Konstantin II. Gruzijski (gruz. კონსტანტინე II; oko 1447. – 1505.), iz dinastije Bagrationi, bio je kralj Gruzije u razdoblju od 1478. do 1505. godine. Početkom 1490.- ih morao je priznati neovisnost Imeretije i Kahetije i ograničiti svoju moć samo na Kartliju. Godine 1505. Konstantin II je umro, a naslijedio ga je njegov sin David X.

Život
Konstantin II. je sin princa Dmitra. Godine 1465., zajedno sa svojim ujakom, gruzijskim kraljem Đurom VIII., Konstantina je zarobio Kvarkvare II. Džakeli, atabeg Meshetije, kneževina na jugu Gruzije. Uspio je pobjeći iz zarobljeništva, ali je neuspješno pokušao iskoristiti odsutnost Bagrata VI., koji je bio u pohodu na Kartliju, da zauzme glavni grad Imeretije, Kutaisi. Unatoč neuspjehu, smatrao se kraljem, a kasnije je preuzeo vlast u Kartliji. Međutim, tek je Bagratovom smrću 1478. godine Konstantin uspio svrgnuti svog sina Aleksandra II. i postati kraljem Gruzije, iako je Gruzija već bila usitnjena i podijeljena u prethodnom građanskom ratu. Godine 1483. porazio ga je Kvarkvar II. u bitci kod Aradetija. Aleksandar je iskoristio svoj poraz i preuzeo vlast u Imeretiji, ali je glavni grad Kutaisi izgubio 1484. godine povratkom Konstantina. Zimi 1488. godine, Turkmeni Ak Koyunlua pod vodstvom Halil Bega napali su glavni grad Gruzije Tbilisi i osvojili grad tijekom duge opsade u veljači 1489. godine. Iako je opsada grada trajala dugo, Aleksandar je odmah iskoristio situaciju i preuzeo vlast nad Kutaisijem i Imeretijom. Od 1490. do 1493. godine Konstantin je bio prisiljen da de jure prizna svoje rođake Aleksandra I. od Kahetije i Aleksandra II. od Imeretije kao neovisne vladare, te osigurati značajnu autonomiju Kvarkvaru II. Konstantinu je ostala vlast nad Kartlijom. Tako je tijekom 15. stoljeća Gruzija podijeljena na tri neovisna kraljevstva: Kartliju, Kahetiju i Imeretiju, te pet autonomnih kneževina (Samche, Mingreliju, Guriju, Abhaziju i Svanetiju).

Između 1492. i 1496. godine, Konstantin je pokušao dobiti međunarodnu potporu u ponovnom ujedinjenju kraljevstva i obrani od sve agresivnijih muslimanskih carstava Osmanlija i Safavida. U tu su svrhu gruzijski veleposlanici poslani egipatskom sultanu Burji Qaitbayu, a također papi Aleksandru VI. i Izabelli I. Kastiljskoj. Veleposlanstva su se, međutim, pokazala besplodnima.

Nakon smrti Kvarkvara II., na vlast je došao njegov sin Kaihostro I, a samo dvije godine nakon dolaska na prijestolje kneževine Samchet, naslijedio ga je brat Mzečabuk. Istodobno su iranski Safavidi, predvođeni novim šahom Ismailom I-, napali Širvan. Iste godine Ismail I. prisilio je Konstantina, zajedno s kraljem Aleksandrom II., da napadne osmanske posjede u blizini Tabriza. Iz predostrožnosti je Ismail poslao Aleksandrovog sina Dmitra u novoosvojenu regiju Širvan, gdje je princ pregovarao o uvjetima mira. Ismail je obećao Konstantinu, nakon što je Tabriz bio osvojen, da će ukinuti porez koji je Konstantin plaćao Turkmenima Ak Koyunlua. Svi gruzijski vladari dali su 3 000 vojnika u Ismailovu postojeću vojsku od 7 000, a 1503. pomogli su mu da povrati Nahičvana od Osmanlija. Međutim, Ismail I. prekršio je njegovo obećanje, a Kartlija i Kahetija postale su njegovi vazali.

Smrt
Konstantin II. je umro 1505. godine, ostavivši prijestolje svom sinu, Davidu X. Kao što pokazuju preživjeli crkveni zapisi, možda je abdicirao s prijestolja i povukao se u samostan pod imenom Ćiril 1503. ili 1504.

Djeca
Konstantin II. bio je oženjen s Tamar i s njom je imao jedanaestero djece:
 David X. od Kartlije
 Đuro IX. od Kartlije
 Bagrat I. Muhrani
 Dmitar
 Vahtang
 Aleksandar

Narodna skupština broji ukupno 577 zastupnika (francuski: députés) koji se biraju neposredno dvokružim sustavom glasovanja. Za većinu u Narodnoj skupštini tako je potrebno 289 zastupnika. Narodnom skupštinom predsjeda predsjednik koji je uglavnom iz redova stranke s najviše zastupnika, a pomažu mu dva potpredsjednika izabrana iz redova ostalih skupštinskih stranaka. Redovni mandat zastupnika u Narodnoj skupštini traje pet godina, s tim da Predsjednik Republike ima ovlast raspustiti Narodnu skupštinu i sazvati nove izbore, ali samo ako to već nije učinio u posljednjih 12 mjeseci. Takva praksa se vrlo rijetko koristi nakon referenduma 2000. godine na kojemu je predsjednički mandat skraćen sa sedam na pet godina; kako su izbori za Narodnu skupštinu dva mjeseca nakon predsjedničkih, a na njima uglavnom pobijedi ista ona stranka čiji je predsjednik član, bilo bi nelogično da predsjednik raspušta skupštinu u kojoj njegova stranka ima većinu.

Poštujući tradiciju prve, revolucionarne Narodne skupštine, stranke ljevice zauzimaju mjesta lijevo od mjesta predsjednika skupštine, dok stranke desnice zauzimaju mjesta desno od predsjednika skupštine. Sjedište Narodne skupštine je Burbonska palača u Parizu, iako se u određene svrhe koriste i druge zgrade. Narodnu skupštinu čuvaju pripadnici Francuske republikanske garde.

Glavna zadaća Narodne skupštine je rasprava o spornim ili novim zakonima čiji se zaključci nakon prihvaćanja šalju Francuskom senatu, koji ili prihvaća ili odbija prijedlog.

Sedmorica protiv Tebe tragedija je koju je napisao Eshil 447. pr. Kr.

Sedmorica protiv Tebe je jedna od ranih Eshilovih drama čije su odlike domininantna uloga zbora i nedostatak akcije na sceni. Umjesto toga priča je ispričana kroz zborno pjevanje i uz pomoć glasnika.

Radnja je preuzeta iz mita o Edipovim sinovima Eteoklea i Polinika i njihovoj borbi za vlast u Tebi poslije Edipovog pada. Sedam knezova na čelu s Adrastom poduzima ratnih pohod, da bi ponovo stavili Polinika na tron. Napad na Tebu je odbijen i svi knezovi, izuzev Adrasta, su ubijeni. Grad su osvojili djeca knezova, generacija poslije u tzv. epigonskom ratnom pohodu.

Drugi kazališni komadi koji su obradili istu temu bili su Sofokloova Antigona i Euripidova drama Feničke žene.

Mitraliera "Saint Étienne", model 1907 a fost o armă de infanterie de calibrul 8 mm, din categoria mitralierelor.  Arma a fost dezvoltată prin îmbunătățirea semnificativă a mitralierei Puteaux APX model 1905.
Arma a intrat în înzestrarea Armatei României, începând cu campania din anul 1916 din timpul Primului Război Mondial. România a comandat 500 de bucăți din Franța, dar doar un număr de 268 de bucăți au ajuns în țară până la intrarea în război, în august 1916. Armele destinate României au fost fabricate la  Fabrica de armament Châtellerault  din Châtellerault, fapt pentru care în unele surse arma este denumită Mitraliera "Châtellerault", model 1907

Principii constructive
Mitraliera Saint Étienne era o armă bazată pe principiul recuperării energiei de recul a gazelor arse, răcită cu aer. Avea țeavă ghintuită, zăvorâtă cu port-închizător mobil și închizător rotativ. Răcirea țevii se făcea cu aer.  Sistemul de alimentare era automat, cu încărcarea cartușelor fie dintr-un încărcător tip sector circular, fie dintr-o bandă. Evacuarea tuburilor trase se făcea printr-un orificiu din cutia culatei, cu ajutorul unui mecanism extractor cu gheară. Mitraliera era montată pe un suport pivotant susținut de un trepied, cu scaun pentru trăgător.

Antiaritmicele sunt medicamente utilizate în tratamentul aritmiilor cardiace, pentru corectarea ritmului cardiac anormal. Exemple de tulburări de ritm cardiac în care se utilizează antiaritmicele sunt: fibrilația atrială, flutter-ul atrial, tahicardia ventriculară și fibrilația ventriculară. Exemple de medicamente antiaritmice sunt: chinidină, metoprolol, amiodaronă, verapamil, ajmalină, sparteină, sulfat de magneziu.

Clasificarea acestora este problematică deoarece majoritatea agenților antiaritmice prezintă mecanisme de acțiune multiple, însă cel mai adesea este utilizată clasificarea Vaughan Williams.

Clasificarea Vaughan Williams
Clasificarea Vaughan Williams a fost introdusă în anul 1970 de către Miles Vaughan Williams. Clasificarea se bazează pe tipul de canal/receptor pe care antiaritmicele îl blochează în principal, iar original clasificarea includea patru clase. Noii agenți sau cei cu mecanisme separate sunt de obicei grupați în "clasa V". Clasa I este împărțită în trei subclase.

Clasa I

Antiaritmicele de clasă I blochează canalele de sodiu (Na+). Acestea sunt subclasificate în trei subclase (IA, IB și IC) pe baza efectului pe care îl au asupra duratei potențialului de acțiune.

Clasa IA
Antiaritmicele de clasă IA prelungesc durata potențialului de acțiune; ele sunt:
 Chinidină
 Ajmalină
 Procainamidă
 Disopiramidă
 Sparteină

Clasa IB
Antiaritmicele de clasă IB scurtează durata potențialului de acțiune; ele sunt:
 Lidocaină
 Fenitoină
 Mexiletină
 Tocainidă

Clasa IC
Antiaritmicele de clasă IC nu influențează semnificativ durata potențialului de acțiune; ele sunt:
 Flecainidă
 Propafenonă
 Moricizină

Clasa II
Antiaritmicele de clasă II sunt medicamente beta-blocante. Exemple includ: atenolol, esmolol, propranolol și metoprolol.

Clasa III

Antiaritmicele de clasă III blochează canalele de potasiu (K+), ceea ce prelungește durata potențialului de acțiune și repolarizarea. Exemple sunt:
 Amiodaronă
 Sotalol
 Ibutilid
 Dofetilid
 Dronedaronă

Clasa IV
Antiaritmicele de clasă IV blochează canalele de calciu (Ca2+) lente (de tip L). Exemple includ:
 Verapamil
 Galopamil
 Diltiazem

Clasa V (alți agenți)
Aceste antiaritimice au intrat în terapia aritmiilor doar după dezvoltarea sistemului de clasificare Vaughan Williams, și nu pot fi clasificate în celelalte clase:
 Adenozină, utilizată intravenos în tahicardii supraventriculare.
 Digoxină
 Sulfat de magneziu, utilizat doar în aritmii specifice, dar și în eclampsia
 Vernakalant, blochează canalele de potasiu și de sodiu

The Birth of Merlin, or, The Child Hath Found his Father is a Jacobean play, probably written in whole or part by William Rowley. It was first performed in 1622 at the Curtain Theatre in Shoreditch. It contains a comic depiction of the birth of the fully grown Merlin to a country girl, and also features figures from Arthurian legend, including Uther Pendragon, Vortigern, and Aurelius Ambrosius.

Authorship
The 1662 first edition of The Birth of Merlin was a quarto printed by Thomas Johnson for the booksellers Francis Kirkman and Henry Marsh; it attributed the play to William Shakespeare and William Rowley. Merlin is thus one of two plays published in the seventeenth century as a Shakespearean collaboration, the other being The Two Noble Kinsmen. Most scholars reject the attribution to Shakespeare and believe that the play is Rowley's, perhaps with a different collaborator. The play has occasionally been revived in the modern era, for example at Theatr Clwyd.

The Birth of Merlin shares a significant relationship with Cupid's Revenge, a play in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon. Large-scale resemblances in plotting – the missing prince, the ruler and his heir who both fall in love with the same woman – could be explained through derivation from common sources; but these larger-scale elements are supported by multiple specific lines and passages that occur in both plays.

The early critics who first discovered these commonalities took them as evidence that Beaumont and Fletcher had a hand in the authorship of The Birth of Merlin. This view, however, has not been accepted by the consensus of scholars and critics, since apart from the cited common passages, there is no evidence of Beaumont's or Fletcher's authorship in the play. The common passages appear to be best explained as the type of borrowings sometimes found in works of the era (the borrowings from Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Parallel Lives in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, for example) that have no bearing on questions of authorship. Though the dates of authorship for both plays are uncertain, it seems likely that Cupid's Revenge is the earlier work, and that the author or authors of Merlin borrowed from the Beaumont-Fletcher play.

Characters
 Aurelius – king of Britains
 Uther – prince, brother and heir of Aurelius
 Donobert – a British nobleman
 Constantia and Modestia – daughters of Donobert
 Cador and Edwin – suitors to Constantia and Modestia
 Artesia – a Saxon princess and chief ambassador, later Aurelius' queen-consort
 Edol – a dissident British courtier and enemy of Vortigern
 a Christian British Hermit
 Joan Go-to't – an unwed, pregnant, British commoner
 a fat Clown – Joan's loyal brother
 a Devil – poorly disguised as a courtier, and father of Joan's child
 Lucina – a pagan goddess
 the Fates – three pagan goddesses
 Merlin – full-grown child born to Joan in the middle of the play
 Vortigern – a king in Wales and a Saxon ally
 Saxon emissaries, later courtiers – among them a pagan priest-magician
 British courtiers
 Welch courtiers

Synopsis
The Birth of Merlin possesses a three-level plot, a structure common in plays of its era.
 The main plot has royal characters concerned with statecraft and national welfare.
 The subplot has aristocratic and genteel characters concerned with personal values and personal fulfilment.
 The comic subplot has common characters whose concerns are largely sensual.

The play is rich with visual effects of varying types, including gods and devils, magic, and masque-like spectacles. It was clearly designed to provide broad, colourful, fast-paced entertainment, rather than to reflect on real-world life.

Opening
Unusually, the play is staged to begin on its second level: The opening scene introduces the nobleman Donobert, his daughters Constantia and Modestia, and their suitors Cador and Edwin, and begins the story of Modestia's conflict between her desire for a religious vocation versus social pressures to marry. The famous characters of Arthurian romance do not appear until the second scene, which introduces King Aurelius and his royal court. The British are flush with a recent victory over the invading Saxons, though they are troubled by the absence of the king's missing brother, Uther.

Saxon emissaries arrive at court to negotiate a peace; they are led by the Saxon princess Artesia. Aurelius instantly falls in love with Artesia, and in his infatuation grants the Saxons very generous peace terms, despite the objections of his courtiers and the criticism of a holy hermit who interjects his own opposition. (Before the scene ends, Modestia consults the Hermit about her personal spiritual difficulty.)

The forest
The first scene in Act II introduces the otherwise-unnamed Clown and his very pregnant sister, Joan Go-to't. References through the play identify the fat Clown as a type-role that Rowley repeatedly wrote into the play for himself. The Clown's sister has gotten pregnant by yielding to the advances of a mysterious stranger; she and the Clown are now wandering through the forest, searching for the father of the child, or at least a father for the child.

Sister and brother – Joan and the Clown – stumble upon Prince Uther wandering through the same forest, distracted and disconsolate after having caught sight of a woman with whom he instantly fell in love. Overhearing this, the Clown solicits Uther as a potential husband for Joan, much to the prince's outrage. As he beats them, their cries are heard by courtiers searching for the prince, who interrupt the scene and carry Uther back to court. The Clown and Joan are left to continue their search.

Back at court
At court, Aurelius's infatuation with Artesia has led to a sudden marriage. One British noble, Edol, is so outraged that he flees the court to nourish his opposition. The court now blends British and Saxon influences, though not smoothly or happily. The Hermit has a contest of power with a Saxon magician; the Christian Hermit triumphs over pagan magic. Prince Uther enters, and sees that the woman who has caused his distraction is now his brother's wife and the new British queen. Aurelius recognises the situation, and withdraws in anger and jealousy.

In Act III, the Clown and Joan have reached the court in their search for her child's father. They confront various courtiers, with comically unsuccessful results. Finally, though, they encounter the actual father: Though Joan sees him as a handsome courtier, the Clown can recognise him for the devil, "his feet and head horrid". Joan pursues him, and the Clown loyally follows her. In the second-level plot, Modestia embraces her religious vocation; in a familial confrontation, Modestia's defence of her choice is so persuasive that her sister Constantia is converted to the spiritual life and rejects her suitor, just as Modestia has done. Donobert is outraged, but urges Cador and Edwin not to give up on his daughters yet.

Back in the forest and the birth of Merlin
In a cave in a forest, the Devil summons Lucina and the Fates to attend Joan as she gives birth to Merlin. The Clown catches up, to meet his sister and his new-born nephew, a fully grown Merlin the Magician. Merlin introduces his Clown-uncle to his Devil-father; the Devil predicts a dramatic future for his newborn son. In the British court, the Saxons are plotting treason; Artesia manipulates Uther's romantic interest and Aurelius's jealousy to bring about a fissure between the two, though her plans are partially frustrated by the British nobles. The two factions separate and prepare for war.

Meanwhile, Merlin, Joan, and the Clown have made their way to Wales, where King Vortigern, a Saxon ally, is having trouble building a castle. To keep the edifice from continual collapse, the Welsh must sacrifice a "fiend-begotten child"; therefore they are pleased and relieved when Merlin appears. Merlin, however, foretells Vortigern's imminent defeat at the hands of Edol and the British. A series of battle scenes portray Edol's victory, culminating in a spectacular special-effect scene in which Merlin prophesies on a blazing comet.

Dénouement
Act V provides a swift wind-up of the various plots. Merlin seals his devil-father within the earth, and leads his mother away to a life of repentance. Donobert accepts his daughters' religious commitment to the solitary and celibate life. The British defeat the treacherous Saxons, who have assassinated Aurelius. Uther is now the British king, aided by Merlin.

În Regatul Unit se află două dintre cele mai vechi și mai celebre universități ale lumii, Oxford și Cambridge. Regatul a dat lumii mulți savanți și ingineri străluciți, precum Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Michael Faraday, Paul Dirac sau Isambard Kingdom Brunel; invenții precum motorul cu aburi, motorul cu ardere internă, locomotiva, costumul, vaccinul, vasele din cristal, televiziunea, radioul, telefonul, hovercraft-ul, își au originea în Regatul Unit.

Dramaturgul William Shakespeare este considerat cel mai cunoscut scriitor al lumii. Alți autori prestigioși au fost surorile Brontë (Charlotte, Emily și Anne), Jane Austen, J. K. Rowling, Agatha Christie, Roald Dahl, J. R. R. Tolkien și Charles Dickens. Poeți importanți sunt George Gordon Byron, Robert Burns, Lord Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, William Blake sau Dylan Thomas.

Din Regatul Unit au provenit compozitorii William Byrd, John Taverner, Thomas Tallis și Henry Purcell, din secolele XVI-XVII, iar mai recent, Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Arthur Sullivan, Ralph Vaughan Williams sau Benjamin Britten.

Alături de SUA, Regatul Unit a fost un contribuitor important la dezvoltarea rock and roll-ului. Dintre cele mai importante staruri pop și rock britanice amintim: The Beatles, Cliff Richard, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple. Regatul Unit s-a aflat în avangarda muzicii punk a anilor 1970, prin Sex Pistols sau The Clash, precum și a renașterii heavy metal-ului, prin Iron Maiden sau Motörhead.

Regatul Unit a avut foarte mulți filozofi remarcabili precum: John Locke, George Berkeley, David Hume, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, Duns Scotus, Sir Francis Bacon, Adam Smith, Thomas Hobbes, William de Ockham, Bertrand Russell și A.J. "Freddie" Ayer. În această țară s-au stabilit în timpul vieții Isaiah Berlin, Karl Marx, Karl Popper și Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Un mare număr de sporturi își au originea în Regatul Unit: fotbal, golf, cricket, tenis, squash, box, rugbi și biliard. Turneul de la Wimbledon este unul din cele patru turnee de mare șlem în tenis. "Sportul național" al Regatului este fotbalul, însă Regatul nu participă în competițiile inter-țări cu o echipă națională unică; fiecare din țările componente are propria federație de fotbal și propria echipă națională.

Pogonatum, auf Deutsch Filzmützenmoose genannt, ist eine Gattung von Laubmoosen aus der Familie Polytrichaceae. Der deutsche Name Filzmützenmoos bezieht sich auf die dicht behaarte Haube (Kalyptra) der Sporenkapsel.

Merkmale
Pogonatum-Arten sind diözisch. Sie besitzen ein ausdauerndes Protonema. Die mittelgroßen bis kräftigen Pflanzen sind einfach oder verzweigt. Die Blätter haben unten einen breiten, chlorophyllfreien Scheidenteil und darüber einen schmäleren lanzettlichen Spreitenteil. Die Blattrippe füllt einen Großteil der Blattspreite und ist auf der Oberseite dicht mit zahlreichen längsgerichteten Lamellen besetzt. Die Blattränder sind meist gesägt oder gezähnt.

Die eiförmige bis kurz-zylindrische Sporenkapsel ohne ausgebildete Hypophyse (Kapselhals) und ohne Spaltöffnungen hat 32 (selten 16) Peristomzähne und einen runden, geschnäbelten Deckel. Die  mützen- oder glockenförmige Kalyptra ist dicht behaart.

Systematik und Arten (Auswahl)
Nach Stech & Frey zählen weltweit 57 Arten zur Gattung Pogonatum. In Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz sind die folgenden drei Arten vertreten:

 Aloëblättriges Filzmützenmoos (Pogonatum aloides)
 Zwerg-Filzmützenmoos (Pogonatum nanum)
 Großes Filzmützenmoos (Pogonatum urnigerum)

A ticker-tape parade is a parade event held in an urban setting, characterized by large amounts of shredded paper thrown onto the parade route from the surrounding buildings, creating a celebratory flurry of paper. Originally, actual ticker tape was used, but now mostly confetti is substituted.

The concept originates in and is most usually associated with the United States, especially New York City. Outside the United States, ticker-tape parades are often associated with the 1978 FIFA World Cup held in Argentina.

History

The term originated in New York City after a spontaneous celebration held on October 28, 1886, during the dedication of the Statue of Liberty and is still most closely associated with New York City. The term ticker tape originally referred to the use of the paper output of ticker-tape machines, which were remotely driven devices used in brokerages to provide updated stock market quotes. The term ticker came from the sound made by the machine as it printed.

In New York City, ticker-tape parades are reserved for special occasions. Soon after the first such parade in 1886, city officials realized the utility of such events and began to hold them on triumphal occasions, such as the return of Theodore Roosevelt from his African safari, Gertrude Ederle swimming the English Channel, and Charles Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic flight. The first individual to be honored with a ticker-tape parade was Admiral George Dewey, hero of the battle of Manila Bay, in 1899, when two million people came out to New York City. Following World War II, several ticker-tape parades were given in honor of victorious generals and admirals, including General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Admiral Chester Nimitz. Two of the longest and largest ticker-tape parades were given for World War II and Korean War General Douglas MacArthur in 1951, after he was relieved of duty by President Harry S. Truman, and for astronaut John Glenn in 1962.  Golfing greats Bobby Jones (1921 and 1930) and Ben Hogan (1953) were honored with ticker-tape parades after their British Open triumphs.

The section of lower Broadway through the Financial District that serves as the parade route for these events is colloquially called the "Canyon of Heroes". More than 200 black granite strips embedded in the sidewalks along the Canyon of Heroes list honorees of past ticker-tape parades. By the early 21st century, such parades became far more infrequent, largely limited to championship sports teams, and celebrations of the return of astronauts and military troops.

Ticker tape technology became obsolete in the 1960s, as television and computers came into use for transmitting financial information. Modern parades utilize waste office paper and toilet paper that have been cut using conventional paper shredders. The city also distributes paper confetti.

Jai McDowall (Tarbolton, Ayrshire, 24 de julio de 1986) es un cantante escocés que ganó la quinta temporada de Britain's Got Talent en junio de 2011. Como ganador, recibió £100,000 y actuará en el Royal Variety Performance de 2011. McDowall recientemente firmó con Syco Music, una subdivisión de la gigante discográfica, Sony Music.

Su álbum debut, Believe se estrenará el 12 de diciembre de 2011. Un primer sencillo, que aún no se ha confirmado, se espera que sea lanzado en noviembre de 2011.

Primeros años
Jai McDowall vive en Tarbolton en Ayrshire, Escocia donde trabajó como personal de apoyo hasta ganar Britain's Got Talent. Fue miembro de la Ayr Amateur Opera Company y de la Loudoun Musical Society. Interpretó papeles tales como Frank en Siete novias para siete hermanos y Motel en El violinista en el tejado.

Antes de su trabajo de cuidar a jóvenes con discapacidad, Jai pasó 2 años estudiando música y tecnología de audio (NC & HNC) en el Departamento de Música y Producción de Sonido del Ayr College, Escocia.

Carrera musical

The X Factor y Britain's Got Talent
Jai audicionó para The X Factor (UK) en 2010 y llegó hasta el campo de entrenamiento. Él audicionó en Liverpool para la quinta temporada de Britain's Got Talent con la canción "Anthem" del musical "Chess", recibiendo comentarios positivos de los tres jueces, Michael McIntyre, Amanda Holden y David Hasselhoff. Recibió tres "síes" y pasó a la siguiente ronda, y luego a las semifinales en vivo.

Jai cantó por segunda vez en la cuarta semifinal el 2 de junio de 2011, interpretando "Bring Me to Life" de Evanescence. Nuevamente obtuvo críticas positivas de los jueces. Jai recibió el más alto número de votos esa noche y pasó directamente a la final.

En la final, Jai interpretó "To Where You Are" de Josh Groban. Los cuatro jueces hicieron comentarios positivos de su actuación, a pesar de algunas críticas del jurado Simon Cowell, quien afirmó que su voz estuvo algo monótona. En el show de resultados, Simon más tarde lo felicitó por la forma en que interpretó la canción, después de que Jai ya hubiese sido anunciado como ganador de la temporada y del premio principal de £100,000. Jai ganó con el 29,1% de los votos, aproximadamente 4,1 millones, lo cual fue un shock ya que venció al favorito en las apuestas Ronan Parke.

Más tarde se revelaría en Britain's Got More Talent que hubo un margen de 2,4% de los votos, aproximadamente 86.000, entre Jai y el segundo lugar Ronan Parke. Jai ganó £100.000 y actuará en la Royal Variety Performance 2011.

Después de Britain's Got Talent
Después de ganar Britain's Got Talent, Jai actuó en el Britain's Got Talent Tour, comenzando en Newcastle y pasando por tres ciudades escocesas, Edimburgo, Aberdeen y Glasgow, antes de dirigirse a través de Inglaterra y presentarse en los lugares más importantes en las principales ciudades. También actuó en el Glasgow Show 2011 en Glasgow Green en frente de 20.000 personas, como cabeza de cartel del show del domingo junto a Re-Take That y otros invitados en agosto de 2011.

Jai firmó un contrato con las disqueras Syco y Sony Music para grabar un álbum que será lanzado en diciembre de 2011.

Jai actuó con miembros de la Loudoun Musical Society y Nicola Cassells el domingo 1 de octubre de 2011 en el Grand Hall, Kilmarnock.

est le terme employé pour désigner  différents types de roches dures et durables que l'on peut trouver dans la partie sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Elles ont une grande valeur en Nouvelle-Zélande. De plus, les sculptures créées à partir de  jouent un rôle central dans la culture maorie.

Nom

Le terme maori «  », utilisé aussi en anglais néo-zélandais, fait référence aux deux types de roche verte prisés pour la création de sculptures : le jade néphrite, classé par les Maoris selon différents noms qui font référence à ses différentes couleurs, tels que , ,  ; et l'antigorite, une variété de serpentine, connue sous le nom .

Le terme générique «  » est généralement utilisé car les autres noms utilisés dans le langage commun induisent souvent en erreur : en effet, les termes de « jade de Nouvelle-Zélande » (toutes les roches de  ne sont pas du jade) et de « roche verte » (terme utilisé pour de nombreuses roches de divers pays sans lien avec le ) sont trop ambigus et imprécis. Le  se trouve seulement en Nouvelle-Zélande alors que de nombreuses pierres vendues dans les magasins de souvenirs sous l'appellation « pierre verte » sont du jade venant de l'étranger

Matériaux

Les Maori allaient chercher les pierres vertes constituant les pounamu dans le secteur sud-ouest au niveau des fjords d'abords difficiles de la région de Te wai avant de les rapporter pour les travailler. Il s'agit de
Nephrite:(variété Kawakawa du Westland) formé de la fusion de  Grauwacke et de Dunite à haute température.
Bowerite provenant du secteur de Milford Sound.
Grauwacke des grès à forte proportion de Feldspath
 Punite : une roche ignée riche en olivine et pyroxène

Utilisation traditionnelle
Ces pierres  permettait aux Maori de faire  des pendentifs, mais aussi des ornements et des outils (herminettes) ou surtout des .

Plus de 200 pièces prêtées par le musée Musée de Nouvelle-Zélande Te Papa Tongarewa  de Wellington furent exposées en 2017 lors de l'exposition temporaire: "La pierre sacrée des Maori" au Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques-Chirac.

Mais ces objets ne sont pas seulement des objets mais sont pour les Maori: l'incarnation de la "Mana": la force d'une personne ou d'une famille d'où son caractère sacré parfois en rapport avec la Mythologie maorie

Kappa Alpha Theta (), commonly referred to simply as Theta, is an international women's fraternity founded on January 27, 1870, at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. It was the first Greek-letter fraternity established for women. The fraternity (the term "sorority" had not yet been invented) was founded by four female students, Bettie Locke Hamilton, Alice Allen Brant, Bettie Tipton Lindsey, and Hannah Fitch Shaw. The organization has 147 chapters at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. The organization was the first women's fraternity to establish a chapter in Canada. Theta's total living initiated membership, as of 2020, was more than 250,000. There are more than 200 alumnae chapters and circles worldwide.

Kappa Alpha Theta is a member of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), an umbrella organization that encompasses 26 social sororities found throughout North America. The organization's own headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

History

The Alpha chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta was founded at Indiana Asbury College, now DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, on January 27, 1870. The university began admitting women in 1867 after 30 years of a male-only student body. However, women were excluded from male-only clubs and societies. In response to the lack of women's organizations, the fraternity's founding members established the first Greek letter women's organization.  The Founders were:
Elizabeth McReynolds Locke Hamilton (Bettie Locke)
Alice Olive Allen Brant (Alice Allen)
Elizabeth Tipton Lindsey (Bettie Tipton)
Hannah Virginia Fitch Shaw (Hannah Fitch)

Bettie Locke developed the idea for a Greek letter women's society through the encouragement of her father, a professor at Indiana Asbury and a member of Beta Theta Pi, and the members of Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) at Indiana Asbury, which included her brother. Initially, the collegiate men of FIJI offered Locke their badge as a token of their friendship, but voted against initiating her as a member. Locke refused to wear the badge as she did not know the secrets and purposes the badge represented, since she was unable to become a member. Ultimately, the fraternity gifted her a symbolic silver fruit basket instead to represent their relationship and fondness for her.

Upon discovering that there were no Greek letter fraternities for women in existence (only literary societies for women existed at the time), Locke decided to create her own Greek letter fraternity for women. Kappa Alpha Theta's ritual, organizational structure, badge, and coat of arms were influenced by those of Beta Theta Pi and Phi Gamma Delta due to her familial connections. Locke and her friend Alice Allen wrote a constitution, planned rituals, designed a badge, and sought out women on campus to become members. Along with Hannah Fitch and Bettie Tipton, the first initiation was held in secret on January 27, 1870, establishing the Alpha chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta.

Theta's grand convention voted to establish a magazine in 1885 and to place its editorship with Kappa chapter at Kansas. In the intervening years, Kappa Alpha Theta's magazine has undergone a change of title from The Journal to The Kappa Alpha Theta Magazine and a change of publication schedule (from monthly to quarterly). The Kappa Alpha Theta Magazine currently is published in April, June, September, and December of each year.

In 1887, Theta became an international organization with the establishment of the Sigma chapter at the University of Toronto. This became the first Canadian women's fraternity.

G. William Domhoff, writing in Who Rules America?, listed Kappa Alpha Theta as one of "the four or five sororities with nationwide prestige" in the mid-1960s.

Symbols
Kappa Alpha Theta's colors are black and gold. The official symbols are both the kite and twin stars, while the official flower is the black and gold pansy. The fraternity does not recognize an official stone. The badge is a black and gold kite with a white chevron in the middle.

Chapters

Kappa Alpha Theta has more than 143 active college chapters and more than 212 alumnae chapters across the United States and Canada. Alumnae chapters are alumnae groups that have been granted charters from Grand Council. The following is a list of the chapters of Kappa Alpha Theta:

Membership

Notable alumnae

Some notable alumni of Kappa Alpha Theta include Agnes de Mille, Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Jenna Bush, Tory Burch, Melinda French Gates, Amy Holmes, Sheryl Crow, Gretchen Whitmer, Kerri Strug, Rue McClanahan, Amy Grant, and Jennifer Cook O'Toole.

Laura Bush was a member of the Beta Sigma chapter at Southern Methodist University in University Park, Texas. Her daughters Barbara and Jenna Bush were members at Yale University and the University of Texas at Austin, respectively. Tory Burch, an American fashion designer, businesswoman, and philanthropist was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League university in Philadelphia. Amy Holmes, an American journalist and political commentator, was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta at Princeton University. Sheryl Crow was a member at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan's current governor, was a Theta at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. Amy Grant, an American singer, was a member of the Alpha Eta chapter at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

The first women admitted to Phi Beta Kappa honor society were Thetas.

Philanthropy
The Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation was founded in 1960 and is the philanthropic arm of the organization. The Theta Foundation awards annual undergraduate and graduate scholarships to its members, awarding more than $1.1 million per year. In addition to scholarships, the Theta Foundation also supports the sorority's educational programs as well as its international philanthropy, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA's) are community volunteers who serve as the voice for abused and neglected foster care children who are going through the court system. CASA's are appointed by a judge and their purpose is to ensure all legal actions made are in the child's best interest. In order to directly volunteer at CASA you must be 21 years of age or older.

Local chapter misconduct
In 2000, the chapter at the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati was temporarily suspended for hazing. The pledges were forced to endure several demeaning tasks, one of which included crawling up the steps of the sorority house for the amusement of their big sisters.

In 2000, the chapter at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida was shut down after a drinking party sent newly pledged members to the hospital. One member passed out and was placed on a respirator that night.

In 2008, the chapter at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York was suspended for four years after an alcohol-hazing related incident.

In 2014, the chapter at Columbia University in New York City was under national scrutiny after hosting a racially and ethnically insensitive event that went viral. Some of the costumes worn by sorority members were based on stereotypes meant to represent Mexico, Japan, the Netherlands, Ireland, Jamaica, and other countries. The sorority publicly apologized for the event.

In 2016, the 137-year old chapter at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan was suspended by the university for underage drinking and hazing. The chapter was disbanded by the national organization a few weeks later for violating the suspension.

In 2018, chapters at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi and Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina were closed for failure to meet quota. There was a great deal of opposition, since members felt they were being unfairly punished, simply for being less popular than other National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities on campus, and not for risk management or academic issues.

In 2019, the president of the chapter at Randolph–Macon College in Ashland, Virginia was found to have hazed members of the organization living within the chapter facility.

In February 2022, the members of the Eta Mu chapter at Occidental College in Los Angeles voted to disband the chapter following a controversy with a member, who reportedly sent anti-Asian and anti-Black messages in a private group chat among friends in a December 2020 incident that did not surface until two years later.
