Thomas J. Fogarty, M.D.
[edit]
|
|---|
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1934. His father died when young Fogarty was 8 (or 6 - sources vary), leaving him to do home repairs for his mother. He also was a Golden gloves boxing champion with a professional boxing record of 1-0. He invented the centrifugal clutch at the age of 15 and the embolectomy balloon catheter (i.e., the Fogarty catheter) while in medical school at the University of Cincinnati (or as a scrub technician before medical school - sources vary) by altering a surgical glove using techniques learned from fly-fishing. In 2000 Dr. Fogarty won the Lemelson-MIT Prize for Invention and Innovation (the world's largest single award for invention and innovation). He is named on over 100 patents for surgical instruments and is an inductee in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Dr. Fogarty was a member of the surgical team under Dr. Norman Shumway that performed the first heart transplant in the United States. Dr. Fogarty was the President of the Stanford Medical Center from 1977-1979 and has founded or co-founded over 30 companies in the medical field. He also founded Three Arch Partners, a medical device venture capital firm. Dr. Fogarty owns and operates Fogarty Research & Development, and Thomas Fogarty Winery. The latter produces around 15,000 cases of wine annually. In 2000, Dr. Fogarty also established the Fogarty Medical Foundation, through which he has donated over $250,000 to non-profit health research. Dr. Fogarty famously said, "failure is the preamble to success."

[edit]Devajyoti Ray
[edit]
|
|---|
Ray comes from a Bengali family that had traveled all over India as Ray’s father had been working for the Government of India. Ray had his childhood education at various places, and experience which brought into his art a rare variety of symbolism, folk traditions, and metaphor. Ray is however best known for his Pseudorealistic works, which have been exhibited at many major galleries and have been appreciated in India and abroad with great enthusiasm. Pseudorealism of Ray involves the playing of offbeat colours in unrealistic fashion and thereby creating a comprehendible realistic imagery. In Despair, Soliloqui, the tryptichs are some of the best known works of Ray. They have fetched good prices in the recently held shows.

The International Listening Association (ILA)
[edit]
|
|---|
The ILA was founded in 1979 In Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The first conference outside the US was in Canada (1987), followed by Japan (2000), and Sweeden (2003). The ILA plans to have one if its annual conferences outside the US every three to five years. The next conference will be in Frankfurt, Germany in July of 2007. The theme is Listen to Make the Connection. Upcoming conference dates and themes: 2007: Frankfurt, Germany: “Listen to Make the Connection” & 2008 Portland, Maine: “Listening Lights the Way” Conference presenters have included people of varied backgrounds related to listening to provide a full range of interesting perspectives on listening, for example: communication professors, corporate trainers, audiologists, musicians, a Buddhist monk, researchers and many more. The membership has a very warm, close-knit feel and members are eager to share their knowledge and experience. “And how do we maintain that atmosphere when our international membership represents 15 countries and 49 states? Simple. We listen to each other.” Member backgrounds include education, business, government, medicine, human resources, training and development, the media and the arts; everyone with an interest in listening is welcome. Association publications include: The Listening Post (the association's newsletter), The Listening Professional, and the International Listening Journal (ILJ). Executive Director: James W. Pratt; Current President: Dr. Maria Roca

[edit]Basque grammar
[edit]
|
|---|
Basque is an ergative-absolutive language. The subject of an intransitive verb is in the absolutive case (which is unmarked), and the same case is used for the direct object of a transitive verb. The subject of the transitive verb (that is, the agent) is marked differently, with the ergative case (shown by the suffix -k). This also triggers main and auxiliary verbal agreement. The auxiliary verb, which accompanies most main verbs, agrees not only with the subject, but with the direct object and the indirect object, if present. (There may also be agreement with the listener, based on gender and familiarity.) Among European languages, this polypersonal system (multiple verb agreement) is only found in Basque, some Caucasian languages, and Hungarian. The ergative-absolutive alignment is also unique among European languages, and rather rare worldwide. Consider the phrase:
Martin-ek is the agent (transitive subject), so it is marked with the ergative case ending -k (with an epenthetic -e-). Egunkariak has an -ak ending which marks plural object (plural absolutive, direct object case). The verb is erosten dizkit, in which erosten is a kind of gerund ("buying") and the auxiliary dizkit indicates:
The phrase:
The auxiliary verb is composed as di-zki-da-zue (equivalent terms in European languages)
Verbs[edit]Modern Basque dialects allow for the conjugation of about fifteen verbs, called synthetic verbs, some only in literary contexts. These can be put in the present and past tenses in the indicative and subjunctive moods, in three tenses in the conditional and potential moods, and in one tense in the imperative. Colloquial Basque, however, only uses indicative present, indicative past, and imperative. Each verb that can be taken intransitively has a nor (absolutive) paradigm and possibly a nor-nori (absolutive-dative) paradigm, as in the sentence Aititeri txapela erori zaio ("The hat fell from grandfather['s head]") [2]. Each verb that can be taken transitively uses those two paradigms for passive-voice contexts in which no agent is mentioned, and also has a nor-nork (absolutive-ergative) paradigm and possibly a nor-nori-nork (absolutive-dative-ergative) paradigm. The last would entail the dizkidazue example above. In each paradigm, each constituent noun can take on any of eight persons, five singular and three plural, with the exception of nor-nori-nork in which the absolutive can only be third person singular or plural. (This draws on a language universal; *"Yesterday the boss presented the committee me" sounds at least odd, if not incorrect.) The most ubiquitous auxiliary, izan, can be used in any of these paradigms, depending on the nature of the verb it is used with. There are more persons in the singular (5) than in the plural (3) for synthetic verbs because of the two familiar persons—informal masculine and feminine second person singular. The pronoun hi is used for both of them but where the masculine form of the verb uses a -k the feminine uses an -n. This is a property not found in Indo-European languages. The entire paradigm of the verb is further augmented by inflecting for "listener": even if the verb contains no second person constituent, if the situation is one in which the familiar masculine may be used, the form is augmented and modified accordingly; likewise for the familiar feminine. Notice that this nearly multiplies the number of possible forms by three. Yet the restrictions on contexts in which these forms may be used is strong: all participants in the conversation must be friends of the same sex, and not too far apart in age. Some dialects dispense of the familiar forms entirely. Note however that the formal second person singular conjugates in parallel to the other plural forms, perhaps indicating that it used to be the second person plural, started being used as a singular formal, and then the modern second person plural was formulated as an innovation. All the other verbs in Basque are employed as compound verbs, consisting of a nonfinite form and then the auxiliary. This nonfinite form behaves much as a participle does in English, and declines only for aspect, of which there are three: perfect (various suffixes), imperfect (suffix -t[z]en) and future (suffix. -ko/-go). Verbs of Latinate origin in Basque, as well as many other verbs, have a suffix -tu in the perfect, borrowed from the Latin -tus suffix. The synthetic verbs also have these forms, for use in perfect tenses and in simple tenses in which they are deponent. The dictionary entry for a verb is always listed in the perfect aspect. An infinitive will be found in its "stem form" (that is to say, without an aspect) only in a very few cases, the most common of which is when the auxiliary is in the potential mood, but only in northern dialects and literary Basque. Nouns[edit]A Basque noun is inflected in 17 different ways for case, multiplied by 4 ways for its definiteness and number. These first 68 forms are further modified based on other parts of the sentence, which in turn are inflected for the noun again. It's been estimated that at two levels of recursion, a Basque noun may have 458,683 inflected forms (Agirre et al, 1992). Within a noun phrase, simple adjectives follow the noun. The only inflected constituent is the last, unlike in many Indo-European languages and Finnish, where all simple constituents are inflected. If there is an adjective, then, the noun and all the adjectives except the last one stay in the absolutive. A noun phrase in the absolutive will add the determiner -a to the end unless the last constituent is a determiner. Some determiners include bat "one, a (particular)" hau "this," hori "that (nearby)," hura "that (far or anaphoric)." The determiner is always placed directly after the last word in the noun phrase. Only its case ending and a possible particle can come after it. Complex adjectives, such as clauses and nouns in adjectival cases, come before the noun. Word Order[edit]Basque word order is generally topic-focus, meaning that in neutral sentences (such as sentences to inform someone of a fact or event) the topic is stated first, then the focus. In such sentences, the verb phrase comes at the end. A more tightly binding rule, however, is that the focus directly precedes the verb phrase. Notice that this applies, too, for question words in questions. "What is this?" can be translated as Zer da hau? or Hau zer da?, but in both cases the question word zer immediately precedes the verb. This rule is so important in Basque that, even in grammatical descriptions of Basque in other languages, the Basque word for "focus," galdegai, is used. Within a verb phrase, the periphrastic comes first, and then the auxiliary. In negative sentences, the order changes: the negative particle ez must always directly precede the auxiliary, the topic most often comes beforehand, and the rest of the sentence afterward. This includes the periphrastic, if there is one: Aitak frantsesa ikasten du, "Father is learning French," in the negative becomes Aitak ez du frantsesa ikasten, in which ikasten ("learning") is separated from its auxiliary and placed at the end. Periphrastics[edit]Basque is rich in ways to modify the situation surrounding a verb. Periphrastics work much like the nonfinite forms of verbs but only have one form and have grammatical meanings. Almost every periphrastic has its own syntactical peculiarities, but in general they come between the nonfinite form and the auxiliary. Some examples include ari "continuous activity," nahi "want to," behar "must, have to, need to," ahal "can, could, will be able to," ezin "can't, couldn't, won't be able to," ohi "tends to, used to (depending on tense of the auxiliary)." Some of them, such as nahi and behar, are by nature transitive, and then the auxiliary will inflect for a singular object, namely, the infinitive that needs to be done. Ari, on the other hand, is almost exclusively intransitive. Sources[edit]

[edit]Douglas Arant
[edit]
|
|---|
From the beginning Douglas was a serious child. According to an anecdotal account, when he was very small he went to school one day with Roscoe, his older brother who was then in the first grade. During the spelling lesson, their teacher called on Douglas to spell cat. Douglas rose, looking very solemn and replied with dignity, “I don’t spell.” Determined to get the best education possible and inspired by the accomplishments of his admired older brother, Herschel, he studied long hours and, encouraged by his teachers, he finished High School in three years (1914) and then received a scholarship given by General and Mrs. R. D. Johnston. He then enrolled at the University of Virginia. At Virginia he studied and worked at any job he could find, he waited tables, and one term worked in the Observatory measuring the parallex of fixed stars. He would go in three nights a week at mid night, work until daybreak, and then attend his classes without any rest. In May 1918 his studies were interrupted by the war. He went home at that time for the sadest day of his life, the death of his mother. From Opelika, he went to Atlanta hoping to enlist as a Navy flier, but his eyesight was poor, and so he settled for the army. He was sent to Ft. Oglethorpe where he was enrolled in a regular army cavalry unit, then sent to a ranch in Texas and to Camp Clark, where he, as the only one in his battery who could read and write, was made Clerk. By the time he’d left the military, he had attended Officers Candidate Training School at Camp Taylor, Kentucky, and was commissioned second lieutenant (1919). A year later he received both bachelor of science and master of science degrees from the University of Virginia, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1923 he received his law degree, magna cum laude at Yale University, where he was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal, and was instructor of political science during the summer terms. In addition to his academic degrees, he received honor doctoral degrees from the University of Alabama, Birmingham-southern College and Rhodes College. He was admitted to the Alabama Bar in 1923 and in 1927 he joined the firm of Tilman, Bradley and Baldwin, now Bradley, Arant, Rose and White. Law for Mr. Arant was a profession with responsibilities that stretched far beyond day-to-day casework. He had a lifelong commitment to pro bono service, a personal concern for the encouragement and growth of young lawyers, and a deep commitment to social justice. Between 1933 and 1945, Mr. Arant served as either counsel to, or a member of, a number of agencies. He became special assistant to the United States Attorney General and chief counsel for the Petroleum Administation Board, National Recovery Administration, Washington, D.C., in 1933. The next year he served as chairman of the Regional Labor Board, Sixth District, National Recovery Administration, and in 1942 was the public member for the Fourth Regional Labor Board in Atlanta. Mr. Arant was also a member of the Board of Appeals, District Two, Alabama Selective Service System from 1940 to 1945. His professional interest included memberships in the American Bar Association, and its Committee on Bill of Rights of which he was chairman the term 1941-1943; Alabama State Bar Association of which he was president in 1936 and a member of the Board of commissioners from 1931 to 1940; he was also a member of the Birmingham Bar Association, the American Law Institute, and a member of the Bar Association, City of New York. He was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Phi and the Order of the Coif. During his tenure as president of the Alabama State Bar, Mr. Arant urged the formation of a Junior Bar Association as a means of bringing together younger lawyers from all over the state to focus on professional issues of significant interest to them. As a result of his efforts, the Alabama State Junior Bar became a reality in 1937. Mr. Arant thereafter regularly attended meetings of the Junior Bar and came to know many of the young lawyers throughout the state. That Junior Bar is now the Young Lawyers Section of the Alabama State Bar. Mr. Arant’s concern for justice for all was apparent in his role as an organize of the Legal Aid Society of Birmingham, which he served as president. He was also an active, long time member of ST. Mary’s Episcopal Church and the Democratic party. In the early 1950s, he sponsored the first African-American attorney for membership in the Birmingham Bar Association – Oscar Adams, who later became a justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. He was a behind-the-scenes leader for positive change in Birmingham in the troubled 1960s. True to his philosophy of community enrichment, he served as president of the Birmingham Civic Symphony Association and the Birmingham Civic Opera Association, as a foundation trustee of Brooke Hill School and the eye Foundation, and as a member of the board of directors for Norton Center and Birmingham-Southern College. He was married to the former Letitia Tyler McNeal on December 31, 1929 and they had three daughters: Adele (Mrs. Richard J. Stockman, Jr.), Letitia Christian and Frances Fairlie, to whom Mr. Arant was devoted.

[edit]MAX VADUKUL
[edit]
|
|---|
Max Vadukul (Born 2nd February 1961, Nairobi, Kenya) is a self-taught British photographer. Infamous for his surreal, quirky style, Vadukul's photography captures images with a raw elegance in the realm of fashion, music, advertising and portraiture.
In 1969, Vadukul was uprooted from his native soil and moved to London, England. Feeling dislocated and in the midst of a cultire shock Vadukul embraced the camera and found a haven and sense of familiarity in photography. Driven by a passion to succeed, at age 22 Vadukul left home and advanced to the fashion capital of the world- Paris. It was here that he was discovered by Yohji Yamamoto in 1984 and began a collaboration that would change the face of fashion. As an artist using photography, Vadukul set out to reform the rigid structure of fashion publications deeming them as an area of innovation in photography. He produced satirical and wacky imagery influenced largely by cartoons, silent movies, and British media, and had a flair for stimulating an emotion in his subject which possessed a distinctive Vadukul signature. Revolutionary fashion journalists such as Franca Sozzani ofItalian Vogue embraced this 'Anti-Fashion' style and commissioned Vadukul's editorial voice by shooting for benchmark magazines such as Per Lui and Lei. His provocative and avant- garde work led to partnerships with Chloe, Emanuel Ungaro, Armani, Comme Des Garcons, Max Mara and Romeo Gigli. Moreover, he was an active contributor to the emerging supermodel phenomenon and his dynamic work caught the eyes of musical legends such as Paul McCartney and Sting whose first iconic solo album 'The Dream of the Blue Turtles' was shot in 1985 by Vadukul. In 1995, a decision to move to New York City took Max's career to pioneering heights, shooting for magazines such as Rolling Stone, Harpers Bazaar, Vogue, Italian Vogue, Vanity Fair, and L'Uomo Vogue. The prestigious New Yorker Magazine offered Vadukul a three year contract- it was only the second contract given to a photographer after Richard Avedon in the magazines 100 year history. This marked a transitional point for the photographer, transcending barriers from fashion to feature and journalistic photography. Vadukul captured the essence of extraordinary figures that shaped history such as Mother Theresa, Salman Rushdie, Yves Saint Laurent, Mick Jagger and Mayor Guiliani. Vadukul's images radiate his exuberance and he continues to work with a dedicated and ardent vigor. He currently resides in New York City with his wife and two children where he remains at the forefront of fashion and has shaken up the music world with his tunning images of Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Keith Urban, and Janet Jackson. Photography is clearly an unquestionable passion but what makes Max Vadukul truly three dimensional is his fervor towards curent social, environmental and cultural issues. The outlet of creativity is directed towards numerous causes and talents such as drumming, producing a new photography publication and fine art. As an advoacte of green peace and anti-drugs campaigns his energy is focused upon helping to improve the current conditions of society.

Fidelity Records was launched by Jonathan Strauss out of his New Jersey home in 2003 with the release of The Escape Engines' Celebrity Role Model, a 12-track debut release from the emotionally tinged New Jersey hardcore band. The album has been welcomed by thousands with numbers continuing to grow by sales from online companies, independent distribution companies, and merchandise sales at performances. From this, Fidelity Records is quickly being recognized as one of the fastest growing independent record companies in the tri-state area and is becoming an industry known name. Fidelity Records prides itself on diversification within a niche market, building a reputation for discovering and developing innovative music while upholding its grass roots artist development. In its short history Fidelity has already introduced to the world creditable artists such as The Escape Engine, whose successes include a video that regularly appears on the MTV2 music channel, numerous articles and press interviews in national music magazines such as Alternative Press Magazine and CMJ Monthly Magazine, performing on 2003's Vans Warped Tour and CMJ Music Marathon, soundtrack credits on Warren Miller's Journey, and songs that appear on several nationally distributed music compilations. Recent additions to the roster includes We're All Broken and Race The Sun who are an exceptional set of emerging acts and are beginning to receive the same notable successes. Fidelity Records has already developed its working relationships with other successful entertainment companies and publications such as MTV, Go-Kart Records, Suburban Homes Records, The Militia Group, The Syndicate, JVC Records, Sonic Unyon Records, Rive Video Promotions, McGathy Promotions, Freedom Zone, Alternative Press Magazine, CMJ Music Magazine, AMP Magazine, RadioTakeover.com, Kevin Scanlon Photography, and AbsolutePunk.net. The label expanded its staff late 2003 with the addition of Kevin B. Robbins and, in early 2004, with Julie Kiefer. Kevin's previous work at MTV, his knowledge of band management and the music industry, experience in marketing, and web development have enabled Fidelity to expand its operation to accommodate growing volumes of new business. While Julie's effervescence, enthusiasm, and attention to detail with online promotions, street teams, and public relations enables our bands and audience to feel like an extension of the label. Fidelity Records aspires to create and sustain value by being recognized as an industry leader; valued by our listeners, sought after by bands and musicians, and respected by the music industry and by our competitors.
