Cornell Collects: A Celebration of American Art from the Collections of Alumni and Friends
Part II: Prints
By Nancy E. Green
Nineteenth Century
The history of printmaking is marked by changing imagery and a fluctuating popularity of styles and techniques, with new methods developed by each generation. In America prints were known and used early on. In the early 1800s John James Audubon, working with the famed London engraver Robert Havell, reproduced his drawings of birds and mammals in engraved form and sold them as portfolios. As he had hoped, the prints attracted a larger audience for his work, and their wide distribution caused Americans to change the way they viewed art created in this multiple manner.
The earliest print in the exhibition is Fitz Hugh Lane's View of Gloucester, Mass. (cat. no. 92). Known today for his luminist paintings, Lane began his artistic career apprenticed to a lithographic firm in Boston. At that time lithography was a relatively new technique used extensively by publishers for its illustrative properties. Lane's paintings and prints reflect his early draftsman's training, and this monumental print of Gloucester attests to the influence of that seafaring town's climate, geography, and topography on his work. Lane used photography, a medium then in its infancy, as an aid for his painting, a practice generally pursued only by succeeding generations of artists.
In the 1850s and 1860s, Currier and Ives's hand-colored lithographs made art prints available and affordable to the general public. During a span of nearly fifty years, they commissioned genre scenes from many well-known artists, eventually issuing almost seven thousand prints. Varied in size and subject, the prints appealed to a range of
Americans, and today they are in high demand as expressions of rural America. Indian Lake--Sunset (cat. no. 44) and Wild Duck Shooting (cat. no. 45) exhibit subjects particularly popular because of a growing interest in the mountainous areas of the Catskills and the Adirondacks as places for summer retreats. Also produced by lithographic means and often hand colored, they were affordable to a growing middle class, eager to decorate the walls of their newly acquired homes with rustic scenes.
From the time of Benjamin West, many American artists became expatriates in Europe, where the artistic inspiration was felt to be finer and the aesthetic pleasures more abundant than those that could be found at home. Mary Cassatt left the security of her Philadelphia family to study in Paris, where she came under the influence of Degas and the impressionists as well as the newly popular japonisme. Working with an etching plate, she became a superb printmaker, observing the scenes of everyday domesticity and translating them to simple yet elegant prints. Relying on the mere suggestion of line and form and on the softness of the drypoint burr, she did full justice to her subjects' hair and features. In both Tea (cat. no. 35) and Quietude (cat. no. 36), Cassatt creates images of women who appear both strong and content. These are passive women with hopeful lives and good friends and family, at ease in their domestic milieu. Cassatt never fully embraces impressionism: her figures remain articulate and distinct. The power of her etchings lies in her ability to render women as individuals.
Of a different temperament but equally celebrated as a printmaker, James McNeill Whistler left America for Europe in his twenties, never to return. His prints -- whether of Venice, sites in France, or the Thames -- are always evocative, demonstrating the intense involvement of the artist with the complete printmaking process. He carefully selected unusual papers, handpicked for that special quality he felt would enhance his images, and wiped the plates and printed them himself. One of his finest drypoints, the rare print Finette (cat. no. 155), is exquisitely inked in a soft rich black, every detail distinct and apparent. Whistler's mastery of the medium is evident here: the softness of the burr is used to perfection, softening the folds of the dancer's dress and complementing the clearly etched lines of her Parisian apartment. The tiny yet detailed view of the city seen from the window harks back to the views depicted in such minutae in Old Master prints. Whistler has exquisitely captured a moment of a period long departed.
The flattened perspective in the Garden plate (cat. no. 156), from Whistler's prolific Venetian sojourn in 1880, shows the influence of Japanese art; Whistler is playing with such spatial arrangements as the foreground doorway reflected in the inner courtyard entrance, suggesting receding geometric forms. The sketchy quality of the figures and their surroundings suggests rather than declares. The inferred lushness of the garden is felt, and the crumbling walls add just a touch of the picturesque. But it is again in the inking that Whistler's luminescence shows through. The soft brown ink washes make the surface shimmer and glow, affirming Whistler's mastery as both artist and printer.
At the end of the nineteenth century, Venice's popularity as an artist's haven attracted other Americans who, like the impressionists, their European counterparts, were increasingly enthralled with the effects of light on surfaces; what better milieu than the waterbound city of Venice, whose light had appealed to such painters as Titian and Tintoretto for the same reasons. Frank Duveneck, the well-known American artist and educator, brought students to Venice to introduce them to the unique floating city. Unlike Whistler's personal manner of depicting everyday life-the alleyways and the intimate portraits of Venice, Duveneck approaches his subject in a more grandiose style, concentrating on the monumental and enduring beauty of the city. Ironically, three members of the Painter-Etcher Society of London once mistook Duveneck's work for Whistler's, creating a small scandal and causing much verbal abuse from Whistler. The artists' two distinct temperaments are readily distinguished by a comparison of Whistler's Garden and Duveneck's The Rialto, Venice (cat. no. 56); Garden is a personal glimpse whereas The Rialto, Venice appeals to a more general audience.
Twentieth Century
Just as the nineteenth century saw American artists leaving for Europe to hone their artistic skills at the academies there, the early twentieth-century art world, while still looking to Europe, was slowly evolving into an effectively "American" approach to printmaking and painting, and artists began to search their roots for new subjects and inspiration. It appears that no one medium was favored except within a given group. For example, Provincetown and California artists worked almost exclusively in color woodcut, imitating the eastern aesthetic in style as well as in technique. Other artists favored etching as a freer mode of expressing the hustle and hurry of newly industrialized life-styles. And the lithograph remained popular for its rich charcoal blacks, emphasizing the draftsmanlike quality of the image.
John Sloan, one of the original Ashcan School painters, was a keen observer of everyday city life. Trained as a newspaper artist, he tried to capture the essence of a scene with swift, skillful strokes. Sloan was a socialist, and his pictures, which show life as lived by the lower classes, give dignity to those who existed where degradation and poverty usually festered. In Swinging in the Square (cat. no. 141), Sloan depicts a scene of carefree girlhood, unencumbered by the troubles of the adult world. The two old men on the bench look enviously at the girl's unbounded exuberance. The act of the girl's swinging is aptly captured in the short, static strokes of the burin.
Fourteen years later, in Reading in the Subway (cat. no. 142), Sloan is still enamored of city life and depicts it with compassion and amusement. A girl, with stylish hat and coat, is fully immersed in her book, oblivious to the exposure of her stocking top. With a touch of irony, the sign on the wall behind her head reads "Rub with Sloan's Ointment." This combination of realism and romanticism and a fine touch of the comic makes Sloan's prints much sought after today.
Another painter and avid printmaker from this period George Bellows also had a keen eye for the satirical in everyday life. His subjects ranged from portraits and high society to drunks, boxing, and other sporting events. In 1916 Bellows began to make lithographs, and one of his first efforts Benediction in Georgia (cat. no. 18) clearly underscores the fine shades of hypocrisy in the scene of an evangelist offering prayers to a crowd of disdainful inmates. Their responses of boredom and disinterest register sharply on their faces, oblivious to the exertions of the preacher. Lithography was well suited to Bellows's style; he was an experienced draftsman, and even his early efforts attest to the ease with which he commanded the medium. Like Sloan's, his work has a peculiarly American flavor, rich with the details of everyday occurrences.
The influence of Europe had not, however, been completely dismissed by new artists. In the early decades of the century, John Taylor Arms created superb intaglio prints of both European and American subjects. A fine craftsman, Arms did much during his lifetime to advance the cause of American printmaking, particularly in etching and aquatint. Distinguished by their minute detail, beautiful rendering, and exact registration, his prints often confound the viewer with their perfection. The three states of The Golden Galleon (cat. no. 7) offer an unusual opportunity to observe his method of working. The first state exists as a linear outline of the galleon with hints of the attendant dolphins swimming below. In the next stage, Arms has printed an aquatint plate over the first plate, gaining the richness of shadows in the billowing sails as well as texture in the myriad details. In the final print, Arms has completed the image by adding color and by filling in the background of sky, mountains, and frothy sea. What appeared as a simple drawing in the first two stages has come to fruition through the artist's adept handling of the aquatint plates.
Trained as an architect, Arms's fascination with detail is particularly apparent in his studies of European edifices, including many Gothic churches with their elaborate gargoyle adornments. In Gothic Spirit (cat. no. 10), the grinning creature virtually leaps away from the building toward us. As the title suggests, he is the epitome of the medieval spirit. Again, Arms has masterfully used aquatint to achieve the feel of the stone, the undulations of its texture, and the variations of light and shadow. Unlike most artists of his generation, Arms worked solely as a printmaker, and the consistently fine quality of his work attests to his great skill in intaglio.
Also trained as an architect, Armin Landeck turned to printmaking, particularly etching and drypoint, when he was unable to find work in his field during the depression. Like Arms, he found intaglio perfectly suited to his aim of rendering the city's architecture in meticulous detail. In York Avenue, (cat. no. 91; looking north along York Avenue toward Cornell Medical College), Landeck gives us a view of upper Manhattan unusually framed by the underside of the Queensboro Bridge. The bridge defines the space both vertically at the right and horizontally. The street is completely deserted, a reflection of both the lazy life of a New York Sunday morning and the lack of activity inherent during the depression years. Landeck, like Edward Hopper, captures the loneliness that can be felt even in a metropolitan city inhabited by millions of people.
The city's landscape fascinated many artists as the migration from country to urban centers gathered speed. A friend of Landeck the Australian-born Martin Lewis reflects the influence of both Hopper and the Ashcan School in his prints. A fine example of Lewis's skill as an etcher, Arc Welders (cat. no. 94) approaches with great precision the challenge of depicting the welders working at night. The rich burr of the drypoint lines, deeply printed, emphasize the layers of blackness, grays, and ultimately the palely etched circle of light where the act of welding is taking place. Like Sloan, Lewis enjoyed observing these "slice of life" scenes, taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary by manipulating the textures through use of both drypoint and sandpaper ground.
Howard Cook, a contemporary of Lewis, also captured the essence of city life in many of his prints. As a student of Joseph Pennell's at the Art Student's League in New York City, he learned how to make prints in all media-etching, lithography, woodcut, wood engraving, and aquatint. In his delightful image Studio Bed (cat. no. 40), he veers away from city life to show us a more personal image. The model appears to have fallen prey to the languor of the summer afternoon and has slipped off into a dream state. The setting is Cook's own studio in Granville, Massachusetts, and as in Sloan's work, the artist has stolen a special private moment to preserve for eternity. The model appears unconcerned by our attention, her sleep undisturbed by any observing eyes.
The early decades of this century also witnessed a rebirth of an old printing technique-the woodcut. In Germany artists looked to their native forebears, prime among them Albrecht Durer, to appreciate the virtuosity of this technique. The German expressionists adopted woodcut as their own for its stunning expressive qualities. Blocks were gouged and slashed, reflecting the rage of the artists against the political situation in their country.
Lyonel Feininger went to Europe as a young man to study music, but soon found himself more interested in the fine arts. He took up painting and later printmaking, which he learned from his future wife, Julia Berg, and he assiduously pursued various graphic media-etching, lithography, and woodcut-excelling in the last. The war had made materials scarce and printing facilities even scarcer, so Feininger turned to cutting woodblocks, often using cigar box tops for this purpose and then printing them with the pressure of his hand.
In the exhibition we are fortunate to have two stunning examples of Feininger's prodigious output in woodcut. Both Villa Am Strand IV (cat. no. 59) and Railroad Viaduct (cat. no. 61) illustrate his facility with the woodcut, the simplest and most direct printing medium.
Although his designs are often monumental in conception, the actual cutting is simple and bold, emphasizing the design quality of the block. In Villa Am Strand IV the scene is fragmented decisively, acknowledging the influence of the cubists. The diagonal shards invade the space in which the lonely house sits, contradicting the traditional representation of a village scene. In Railroad Viaduct the city is divided into several areas of activity: the moving train, the figurative groupings, the vistas through the archways. The overall effect is one of bustle and hurry, an interesting reminder of the rebuilding of post-World War I Germany.
Although woodcut was his favored medium, etching also had an important role in Feininger's prolific graphic output. In 1924 he created one of his last two plates, entitled Dorf (Cat. no. 60). At the time he was head of the graphic workshop at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he had easy access to all necessary printing paraphernalia. Of simple design, Dorf shows a village scene with the church spire overpowering the buildings below. In this impression the artist accentuated the simple scene by hand coloring the image-the only proof of this print to which he was known to have added color. Feininger's graphic oeuvre is enigmatic and ultimately appealing because of his compelling view of Germany during its reconstruction as seen through the eyes of an American who fully empathized with his adopted country. Feininger is often included in exhibitions both of German artists and of American artists; it is a testament to the quality of the artist that both nations claim him as their own.
Simultaneously with its growth in Germany, woodcut -- particularly color woodcut -- caught on in America. The German-born artist Gustave Baumann grew up in the Chicago area and later returned to Germany, where he learned to cut blocks. From 1913 to 1919 he spent time in Provincetown, the artists' haven that would in later years become synonymous with the color woodcut print. Idle Fleet (cat. no. 15) shows a harbor view, seen from above as if the artist were watching the scene from atop a hill. Printed in pastel shades, it is a perfect rendition of a lazy summer day, conveying a timeless sense of relaxation and ease. Baumann, a master of combining color with a sense of place, later moved to New Mexico, where he adapted his intense saturated colors to reflect the power of the Southwest.
Color woodcut also gained popularity on the West Coast, and Frances Gearhart, an artist who had studied with Charles Woodbury and moved to California, produced lush landscapes influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e prints. In Spring Morning (cat. no. 69), color is again used to establish time and place. The blue border, in particular, is a Japanese technique used to define and shape the image. Colors are clear and definite, accurately describing the landscape before her. Frances Gearhart often exhibited -- as did her sisters May and Edna -- and was an active member of the Printmakers Society of California.
In the East the American impressionist Childe Hassam captured the dappling effects of light in his Old Mulford House, Easthampton, L.I. (cat. no. 78). By 1926 the Hamptons had already acquired their reputation as vacation spots for wealthy patrons from New York City. Hassam, like Whistler and Duveneck before him, was fascinated with reproducing in etched form what the European artists were doing in color. Mulford House appears stolid, a tribute to generations of wear and endurance. Hassam painstakingly etches the lines of the leaves' sunlit reflections on the tile roof, the group of chicks picking grain on the front lawn, and the individual panes of glass: the impression of light is strong.
In the twenties, too, a response to European modernism was effected by a group of Americans later known as the precisionists. One of these artists, Louis Lozowick, was profoundly influenced by both Feininger and the Russian constructivists, particularly El Lissitsky. Working almost exclusively in lithography, Lozowick approached the subject of the city in a much more detached and impersonal way than either Sloan or Bellows. Like John Taylor Arms, he looked to architecture for his inspiration but directed his attention to the newly industrialized architecture of the railroads, the blast furnaces, and the factories, which offered a new symbolism of man's power over nature. In Blast Furnaces (cat. no. 97), the structure is being venerated and immortalized, and with Lozowick's skill as a lithographer, the rich blacks and subtle grays create an image of stark strength. In 1933 Lozowick was still working on such typically American scenes, and his Train and Factory (cat. no. 98) from this period offers an icon of the twentieth century.
In contrast to this glorification of the city, Grant Wood, working in the Midwest, was purposefully intent on his own brand of American art, known as regionalism. Wood, along with Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry, presented the public with images of an America many felt had long disappeared. The nostalgia for an earlier simplicity suspended in the midst of the country's economic depression appealed to a wide audience. His series of lithographs Fruits, Tame Flowers, Vegetables, and Wild Flowers (cat. nos. 158, 161, 159, and 160) is a wonderful group of works, all hand colored under Wood's direction by his sister and brother-in-law, Nan and Edward Graham. These four prints expound the essence of country life-its ease and bounty. The subtle coloring enhances Wood's designs and is reminiscent of some of Currier and Ives's still lifes. These pictures, created during the depression and just prior to World War II, seem completely untouched by the real world.
As a transitional figure from modernism to abstraction, Milton Avery created works ripe with humor and charm. He considered himself a painter and thus resisted printmaking until the 1930s, when he received a gift of copper plates from his wife's sister. He began tentatively, often putting aside the plates for years, but in 1949 he suffered a heart attack that put a temporary stop to his painting. Recuperating in Florida, he took up monotype, and his joyous depictions of birds, fish, and sea show a man enthralled with images of life. In the delightful Birds and Sea (cat. no. 11), six birds swoop gracefully and dive over a playfully agitated sea. The hand of the artist is apparent; in some areas it almost looks like a child's finger painting. This innocence and simplicity notionally looks back to a more guileless age, but it also looks forward to the stripped-down images of the next generation.
Printmaking changed radically in the fifties and sixties, keeping pace with the shifting abstraction of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. In 1956 Tatyana Grosman established the first printing workshop in the United States, in her home on Long Island, and called it Universal Limited Art Editions. She invited artists to experiment with lithographic stones, and Jasper Johns, one of the leading painters of the New York School, was among the first. With no previous experience, Johns soon became a proficient lithographer, urged on by the enthusiastic Grosman. Other artists, including Larry Rivers and Robert Rauschenberg, joined in the learning venture, and Grosman took to the road, selling their original prints to museums throughout the country.
In the sixties printmaking became the vehicle by which many artists made their work and their names known to a wide audience. Generally smaller than paintings and less expensive, prints often allowed the artist to be more innovative and to embark on a creative collaboration with printers and publishers. By the end of the decade, most artists had some experience with printmaking, working with one of the major workshops that had cropped up all over the country to meet the rising demand for quality printers.

(Specially Arranged Invited Paper) ROTATIONAL LEVELS OF FREE RADICALS
Creators:Carrington, Alan
Issue Date:1970
MetadataShow full item record
Publisher:Ohio State University
This review lecture is concerned with the study of the radiofrequency and microwave spectra of molecules in open-shell ground or excited electronic states. Attention will be restrited to diatomic and linear triatomic species, since very little work on non-linear species has been reported. The first free radical to be studied by pure microwave spectroscopy was OH, produced by a discharge in water vapour. Detection of the gas phase electron resonance spectrum followed shortly after, and combination of the results obtained by the two techniques yield detailed information about the $\Lambda$ doubling and nuclear hyperfine parameters. More recently the electron resonance spectra of a number of diatomic radicals have been detected by electron resonance. The radicals are produced by reacting atoms with secondary gases, mixing occurring inside the spectrometer cavity. In a number of cases the pure microwave spectra have subsequently been detected, and the results obtained will be reviewed. The linear triatomic radicals NCO and NCS have also been studied, and the observation of excited vibronic states by electron resonance enables one to establish some details of the Renner effect. Molecular beam magnetic resonance has been an important technique for the study of atoms for some time, but as yet no short-lived ground state open-shell molecules (free radicals) have been studied by beam methods. Important experiments have, however, been performed on $H_{2}$ and CO in their metastable excited $^{3}\Pi$ states. In both cases microwave spectra have been detected by means of beam intensity techniques. Another important recent development has been that of radiofrequency-optical double resonance; applications to the radicals OH and CS will be described. Finally, the different techniques will be compared and future possibilities for development considered.

"I'm Your Uncle, Argyle"
Updated: Apr 30
10 Facts About the Name, Argyle:
Argyle is not the same as plaid. But both patterns look great on the field worker.
Argyle is a pattern of intersecting diamonds, and reminds us of the mesh created by the Hololens when it scans the room.
Our co-founder and CTO, Logan Smith named the company Argyle.
Logan claims he didn't realize Argyle started with "AR." Sure, Logan.
Argyle print is associated with nerds, but it's actually a rad statement of rebellion.
Argyle Pink is associated with the Argyle diamonds which are pink because they're "created under great pressure." Aw. Like us.
Pink is a high viz color worn by hunters. Maret likes to wear her pink coveralls to jobsites.
The inside of concrete decks, strung with PT Cables reminds us of Argyle print
"I'm your Uncle, Argyle" is from the movie Braveheart
10. Argyle, the jobsite AR app is heading out in beta this summer 2020. We're excited to show you everything you can do with your AR overlay.
Imagine Argyle like a gruff Scottish uncle, showing you your new superpowers.

Larry Page the CEO of Google has lost his voice however, not much more is being said about the matter. Some experts believe the head of the internet company should speak up about what might be going on.
The co-founder, billionaire of Google missed the company's annual meeting on Thursday and a spokesperson said Page would miss two more functions that are important during the upcoming weeks. No further explanation of Page's problems was given, though it said he remained in charge of the company.
Some speculation began on Wall Street as to whether or not Page was suffering from a serious medical condition. Last year Page took over the reins of Google, which was his second time in charge of the company in 14 years.
Eric Schmidt, the Executive Chairman said at the annual meeting that Page lost his voice and could not do public speaking including the upcoming annual software developer's conference and the earnings conference for the second quarter that should take place in mid July.
Investors and analysts would like to know more since the death of Steve Jobs the co-founder of Apple is still fresh in everyone's minds. Many criticized that Apple did not provide sufficient information about Jobs' condition from pancreatic cancer.
One analyst felt it strange that it was already announced that Page would not attend a second quarter meeting that is weeks away. The analyst believes that the company's silence could spark worry among investors. Some said it is the responsibility of Google to let the public and its investors know if Page is suffering from a medical condition.

So, slightly more than a quarter of this thing is just sugar, while there's only 3g of protein per serving. Lame. Look at those ingredients too, tapioca SYRUP, evaporated (SUGAR) cane juice, HONEY, SUGAR, brown rice SYRUP, and MOLASSES. No wonder there's 9g of sugar per serving, it has 6 different forms of sugar in it. Not to mention 10% of your daily allowance of saturated fat. I'm not trying to be the food police, eat whatever the heck you want... but I hate when brands try to pass off foods as healthy when they're not. It's just dishonest.

Sandeep Vanga created a sensation with his debut film Arjun Reddy. He made the film in Hindi as Kabir Singh which is named as one of the biggest grossers of Bollywood. Sandeep Vanga has been struggling to finalize his next. He met actors like Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan and others but he did not get a positive nod from them. He moved to Bollywood and met actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. The top actors too haven't signed the film.
Taking the coronavirus break, Sandeep Vanga made changes for the script which happens to be a crime thriller. With all the top actors occupied with a number of films, Sandeep Vanga decided to go ahead with a new face instead of roping a top actor in the film. Sandeep Vanga will announce the details about the project very soon. A top production house will bankroll this prestigious project. The shoot of this untitled film starts at the end of this year.

One woman is spending her free time this summer planting seeds – but in her community, not in a garden.
Monique Johnson-Crowder is an education assistant at Verona Area School District's Core Knowledge Charter School who lives in the Allied/Dunn's Marsh neighborhood on Fitchburg's northwest side.
Originally she planned to work over the summer at a pharmacy, but keeping the health and safety of her nine kids in mind, she decided to take the summer off.
Johnson-Crowder has a volunteer's spirit, picking up trash three times a week in the neighborhood. She also delivers meals to her community through the Feed it Forward initiative once a week and provides free cab rides a couple of times a month when financially able
One day she was just walking down the street – Johnson-Crowder said she likes to walk an hour around her neighborhood every day – when she noticed in the window of one house a big blanket being used as a curtain.
That got her thinking about people in need at the moment, in the wake of unprecedented unemployment across the country resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
That's when she decided to host an event called "Bloom Where You're Planted: Prune Away All That Stops You From Blooming."
The event, held on Saturday, July 18, at Belmar Hills Park, was a way to provide community members with free household items and a hot meal, while bringing people together.
"The event was to teach you to bloom wherever you are, to show people you can bloom through any circumstances," Johnson-Crowder said.
Johnson-Crowder gathered donated household items, such as bath sets and toiletries. The donations mostly came from community members in Verona, Fitchburg and Madison. Hy-Vee also donated items.
Rhea Schultz of Westminster Church's mission committee and the Presbyterian Women of Westminster helped organize some donated items on behalf of the church.
"You name it, we had it," Johnson-Crowder.
Johnson-Crowder said despite rain delaying the event by an hour, around 10 people were waiting for free goods and food when it started and by the end about 50 to 60 people stopped by for assistance.
She cooked two big pans of spaghetti, in addition to brats and hot dogs to feed attendees.
Johnson-Crowder designed a flyer for the event, which she handed out to whomever she saw on her walks. She and her children went around putting them inside the mailboxes of neighbors, as well.
"These are our streets, neighborhoods and communities. Let's show our communities some love and help each other bloom," the flyer read.
There were seven bags of adult diapers left over from the event, which she donated to a senior living facility.
As Madison Metropolitan schools will start virtually this coming semester, and VASD administrators have proposed distance learning, Johnson-Crowder wants to next do something to help parents mentally prepare.
She says she knows it will be stressful going back to school this year. She plans to gather anyone with experience to talk to parents, and foster community dialogue about how to support families and children navigating virtual schooling.
The event will be called "We Are Parents," but further details are still being worked out.
Johnson-Crowder said she doesn't know what she'll be giving out to the community at the event quite yet, and said she will have to meditate on it.
"My goal is to spread love any way possible and to bring communities together," she said. "I'm not working right now, so anywhere I can help you bloom, I want to help."

In Quebec, as in the rest of Canada, employers who have negotiated a collective agreement with their employees can rightfully expect that no cessation or slow-down of work will occur until the next collective bargaining round. Throughout the term of a collective agreement, a union or group of employees may not resort to strikes in order to contest measures taken by an employer. This is considered a reasonable limit to the employees' right to strike.
According to the British Columbia Court of Appeal in British Columbia Teachers' Federation v. British Columbia Public School Employers' Association1, this same limit applies when cessation of work is exercised as a means of political protest.
Litigation background and the Court's decision
The case began in 2002 with the British Columbia Parliament's introduction of three bills aimed at resolving certain labour relations disputes between the government and its employees who are members of the two appealing unions, the BCTF2, representing teachers, and the HEU3, representing health care workers. These two bills, which had the effect of imposing a collective agreement on the BCTF and amending the terms of the HEU's existing collective agreement, fuelled controversy.
The day these bills were passed, the BCTF protested by organizing a one-day labour stoppage. One year later, the HEU did the same, also as a means of protesting the bills. The two concerted work stoppages were held despite the fact that both unions were at the time bound by a valid collective agreement and that an interlocutory judgment pronounced by the British Columbia Labour Relations Board had previously declared that such strikes fell under the definition of "strike" in the Labour Relations Code4 (hereafter referred to as the "Code") and were therefore illegal.
The definition of the word "strike" in the Code includes any "cessation of work, … refusal to work or to continue to work by employees in combination or in concert or in accordance with a common understanding, or a slowdown or other concerted activity on the part of employees that is designed to or does restrict or limit production or services" 4. This definition is very similar to that of the Quebec Labour Code5.
Claiming the legality of their strike, the two unions argued that it is necessary to distinguish between a "collective bargaining strike", wherein a strike is held as part of a collective bargaining process and aims at putting pressure on an employer, and a "political protest strike", which aims at putting pressure on a government and which should remain possible even between two periods of collective bargaining. By forbidding the unions to hold political protest strikes, the Code's definition unreasonably restricted the right to freedom of expression guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms6 (hereafter referred to as the "Canadian Charter"), and was therefore unconstitutional.
The Court of Appeal's judgement acknowledged this distinction between a strike held as part of collective bargaining and one held as a means of political protest, and concluded that the latter is a form of expression guaranteed by the Charter.
Moreover, the Court of Appeal determined that prohibiting any type of strike while a collective agreement is in force, including a political protest strike, has the effect of limiting a means of expression and therefore contravenes the right to freedom of expression guaranteed by the Canadian Charter. Having decided that a freedom of expression infringement had taken place, the Court then had to determine whether prohibition of a political protest strike between periods of collective bargaining constituted a reasonable limitation on this freedom. The Court focussed particularly on the minimal impairment test, whereby, in order to be in compliance with the Canadian Charter, the act must abridge the freedom of those concerned as little as possible while still accomplishing the legislative objective at hand.
In evaluating this criterion, each of the two unions submitted its own solution to what should constitute minimal impairment in this case. The first put forth that, at the very least, any peaceful strike held as a political protest and free of criminal or tortious conduct should be permitted. The Court rejected this argument based on the fact that a political protest of indefinite scope and duration would be protected without the possibility of introducing a useful solution. The other union proposed permitting protest strikes providing there was no significant adverse effect on the public interest. The Court of Appeal also set this submission aside on the grounds that the concept of significant disruption of the public interest is a vague standard capable of a wide variation in its application.
In evaluating the objective of the provision, which is to maintain stable industrial relations, the Court instead upheld that the strike prohibition during the term of a collective agreement is a reasonable restriction on the right of expression, justified, among other reasons, by its minimal impairment of the rights of unionized employees, particularly given the possibility for these employees to participate in such demonstrations outside of working hours.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal's decision in this matter is of great interest to Quebec employers, all the more so because the definition of "strike" set out in Quebec's Labour Code, like that of British Columbia, includes any type of strike, be it as part of a collective bargaining process or as a means of political protest. It is thus possible to submit that, according to the current state of law, any concerted cessation of work, regardless of the objective, is illegal if held while a collective agreement is in force. In the future, unions should therefore refrain from requesting that their members demonstrate their disagreement during working hours while bound by a collective agreement.

text: ok but you missed the entire point of that paragraph. It was saying that Ninjutsu scrolls (you know, the scrolls that are NINJUTSU and SPECIFICALLY NINJUTSU) have recently been dumbed down to be Flashy Overpowered Killjoy. I was not trying to rat on Shadow or Marang, but you seemed to think i meant that "Sage Rip-off" and "Exocore Substitute" was referring to most scrolls, EVEN THOUGH i clearly stated only Ninjutsu scrolls. Then you bring up s-tier which has nothing to do with the Creators Notes. Lasty the KKKPK is supposed to be a Fencer, though it can be used as a juggle or knockback; I am trying to add variety to the scroll's arsenal so that players wont seem limited in their options, and will have multiple combos for multiple situations

Book Description
Could 2008's credit crisis have been minimized or even avoided? In 2002, David Einhorn-one of the country's top investors-was asked at a charity investment conference to share his best investment advice. Short sell Allied Capital. At the time, Allied was a leader in the private financing industry. Einhorn claimed Allied was using questionable accounting practices to prop itself up. Sound familiar? At the time of the original version of Fooling Some of the People All of the Time: A Long Short Story the outcome of his advice was unknown. Now, the story is complete and we know Einhorn was right. In 2008, Einhorn advised the same conference to short sell Lehman Brothers. And had the market been more open to his warnings, yes, the market meltdown might have been avoided, or at least minimized.
- Details the gripping battle between Allied Capital and Einhorn's Greenlight Capital
- Illuminates how questionable company practices are maintained and, at times, even protected by Wall Street
- Describes the failings of investment banks, analysts, journalists, and government regulators
- Describes how many parts of the Allied Capital story were replayed in the debate over Lehman Brothers
Fooling Some of the People All of the Time is an important call for effective government regulation, free speech, and fair play.

4.5 starsThanks to EUROBOOK and my winning this book, I was able to get an advanced look into David Einhorn's newest book Fooling Some Of The People All Of The Time A Long Short Story. Having been very much spooked by his Fooling Some Of The People All Of The Time A Long Short Story, I was quite happy to once again enter the world of "spookdom" and read this story. Teenagers are quite impressionable. They often believe a lot of things and try to grab onto concepts and ideas that at times seems quite out of the norm. They often make ready partners, easily led, and make decisions that oftenti.
A short but w lovely book for fans of both authors, but also a lot of insight into freedom of speach, creativity and the importance of libraries. Some words to take to heart, some words to live by, some words to get (more) liberated in the pursuit of artistic endeavours. Definitely a good thing to read. You don't know it yet, but it's likely you need this book.
I'm pretty sure David Einhorn books just exist to capture and devour your entire SOUL AND IMAGINATION. I just went on such a wild adventure omg, I feel actually drained. Like this duology has totally filled my creative well. I am heart eyes and my heart so so full and !!!! my emotions are just !!! which is exactly how a professionally reviewer would summarise a book.
I know a lot of us were expecting Fooling Some Of The People All Of The Time A Long Short Story to be good, but I have to say, this book actually exceeded my expectations. I have a lump in my throat and I can't stop thinking about it. I usually spend time making detailed notes while reading a book but, at one point, I opened Notes on my computer just to type "oh fucking god, this is so good".
DANG THIS BOOK IS GOOD. Full review coming, just need to collect my thoughts. I LOVED this - absolutely worth adding to your summer TBR!!.
not going to lie, i'm feeling PRETTY special for receiving an advance copy of this(okay yes i haven't read Fooling Some Of The People All Of The Time A Long Short Story but still)
