Our aim was to study these reactions with the long-term goal of using cobaloximes as thermal or photolytic catalysts for various transformations, including the reduction of carbon dioxide.

woman.”” “She was an activist-author who never shied away from difficult subjects, but instead, embraced them in all their complexity. Lorde was a critic of second-wave feminism, helmed by white, middle-class women, and wrote that gender oppression was not inseparable from other oppressive systems like racism, classism and homophobia. She has made lasting contributions in the fields of feminist theory, critical race studies and queer theory through her pedagogy and writing.” – from https

United States and, to add complexity to an already green and overwhelmed boy, I was transitioning in the aftermath of Sept. 11. That moment effectively served as my principle moment of ¨culture shock¨ during my study away experience at PLU. London led me to Valencia, Spain, following graduation, which led me to a job with the American Red Cross and a volunteer position with the World Affairs Council of Seattle. These experiences eventually guided me to India as a consultant on corporate social

day of classes Sept. 5, O’Brien was reminded of the impressive students who attend PLU and the faculty members who teach them to ask tough questions, engage in complexity and exhibit great care for others and the world. “All of that makes me committed to making sure this works out as best it can,” he said. Several weeks ago the Faculty Joint Committee, which convened late last year to review data and propose cutbacks to programs and faculty positions, released its provisional recommendations. The

larger work entitled “Art of the Fugue.” They gradually increase in complexity.  The forth Bach work is a transcription of “My Spirit be Joyful” from one of Bach’s Cantatas. We thought it would be fitting to include some music by Bach on the CD along with Dr. Jerry Kracht’s new piece since they effectively bookend the history of Lutheran music over the last 300 years!  Jerry’s piece was written to commemorate and celebrate the 500th year of the Reformation. It depicts the life of Martin Luther in

illustration. But if it was for the museum, I would have to repaint. For this market scene of the city of Calixtlahuaca, I have provided three to four versions in which I had done some minor color adjustments to the sky and the foreground for them to choose which to be the final illustration. A lot of people commented on the complexity of this product. But at the beginning stage, there were just about 15 figures. The earlier version of the painting was a very simplified version, and once I figured out the

Today is a day to celebrate great gifts, to give hearty thanks — and to commence living a life of gratitude! WONDER Second, I wish for each of you a life of wonder, the ability to stand in awe as you contemplate the beauty and complexity of God’s creation; and always, the

ignorance 40 years before Austen wrote Persuasion: “My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures, instead of […] viewing them as if they were in a state of perpetual childhood, unable to stand alone.” Critics of the new Persuasion film echo A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) with their frustration at the way Austen’s original story lost some of its reason and complexity in this adaptation. Our dissatisfaction with the movie gives us much to reflect on, and as

room for the restoration of youth, the swim would mark the contrast between Anne prior to Lyme and Anne in Bath. We do later witness her growing desire for Sir Elliot. But the complexity of her feelings for him and Wentworth that are so prevalent in the novel are drowned out by banter or, rather, ensnared by an octopus. When the film’s romance and humor were over, I was left thinking about Johnson’s age—she is thirty-three—and Carrie Cracknell’s age—she is forty-two—and wondered why two women who

about the importance of trust and integrity. On the global and national stage we witnessed what happens when trust erodes, we were shocked to discover that our most sophisticated financial systems are based on that elusive capacity to depend on one another. Every organization, including PLU, functions well only when we trust one another and work together with a confidence in the shared good will and intentions of one another. Excellence matters.
