 became a schoolteacher and later served as superintendent of the Hampshire County Schools district from 1877 to 1879. Before 1886, <mask> was elected a member of the Romney Literary Society together with his brother. West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind
From 1876 to 1888, Gilkeson served as a member and secretary of the fourth, fifth, and sixth Board of Regents of the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind, a position that enabled him to become familiar with the school's efforts to educate its deaf and blind students. In 1887, upon the death of the schools' principal, John Collins Covell, Gilkeson was selected by the Board of Regents to serve as principal of the institution. The Board of Regents had reservations about selecting an immediate successor to Covell and requested that Gilkeson fill the position temporarily until the board could find a permanent replacement. Gilkeson left his lucrative law practice and accepted the position under the condition that he serve as interim principal while the Board of Regents sought a more suitable candidate to build upon Covell's initiatives and reforms. Gilkeson believed that only administrators and educators fluent in sign language should be appointed to serve in the School for the Deaf, and during his tenure as principal he found that personnel who relied on interpreters did not receive "satisfactory results".After he had spent a few weeks as acting principal, the Board of Regents reconvened and appointed him to stay on permanently. During his tenure, the position of principal included the roles of clerk, bookkeeper, steward, and final arbiter of matters in the

While Gilkeson lacked special training for the position, his business experience allowed him to run the schools in an economically efficient manner, which pleased the schools' Board of Regents. In the summer of 1888, <mask> was delegated by the Board to Regents to attend the Conference of Superintendents and Principals of American Schools for the Deaf in New York City and select the most fitting candidate present at the conference or recommended someone to replace him as principal of the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind. Gilkeson tendered an offer to C. H. Hill, then an instructor at the Maryland School for the Deaf, and upon Gilkeson's return to Romney he recommended Hill and resigned from his post as principal. Hill was subsequently appointed by the Board to fill the position. While the Board of Regents was pleased with Gilkeson's performance as principal and wished for him to stay on in the position, but he preferred to return to his professional law and political career in the end.Gilkeson resumed the practice of law and pursued a political career, but he continued his involvement with, and advocacy for, the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind, especially through his influence as a prominent lawyer and state legislator. Gilkeson used his position as a state legislator to condemn and hold accountable the officials responsible for the mismanagement of the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind, and often interceded on the schools' behalf following Hill's retirement due to political reasons. Gilkeson was displeased with the state's political interference in the schools, and the

Following his tenure as superintendent of Hampshire County Schools, Gilkeson undertook the study of law and started a law practice in Romney; he subsequently became a prominent lawyer in the community. His law office was located on Main Street in Romney, two blocks from the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind. Due to his preeminence in the legal field and high standing in the community, Gilkeson served as dean of the Hampshire County Bar Association. Gilkeson was twice elected to represent Hampshire County as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates for the 1883–85 and 1909–11 legislative sessions.As the leadership of the House of Delegates was being determined at the 1884 Democratic Party State Convention in Wheeling, <mask> was a leading contender for a speaker candidacy, but fellow Romney native Robert White was selected as the party's candidate instead. On August 13, 1890, the Twelfth Senatorial District Democratic Convention nominated <mask> to fill the vacant West Virginia State Senate seat of Samuel Lightfoot Flournoy. <mask> was elected to fill the seat during the general election of 1890 and served the remainder of Flournoy's senate term until 1893.

 She later stated she will no longer identify herself as "Lady Saw", but instead as Minister <mask> or simply <mask>. She also stated that she will not perform dancehall music, but instead she will begin a new music career in gospel music. She has released a few gospel songs; "Jesus In The End", "Cup of Blessings", "God Almighty", and "Heaven" which appear on several mixtapes. In July 2016, she released her first gospel album When God Speaks. In June 2018, <mask> released the lead single "I'm Gonna Fast" from her album "His Grace". The album was released on 20 July 2018.In April 2020, <mask> stated that she believed she was denied a United States O-1 visa because she no longer identified as "Lady Saw". Style
Lady Saw became known for slack performance style. The style also prompted her to record "What is Slackness? "; a song in which she defines 'slackness' in many ways. Slackness often refers to vulgarity in Jamaican culture, behavior and the music. It always sums up the explicit sexual lyrics used in reggae and dancehall music. Because of this, several of her performances were banned in some parts of Jamaica, though equally lewd male performances were not.The double standard inspired her to record the song "Freedom of Speech" in protest. She also became known for her "conscious" lyrics. She recorded "Condom"; warning girls of the dangers of unprotected heterosexual sex. Discography

<mask> is a retired American gymnast. He was a highly decorated college gymnast, achieving the 2001 Nissen-Emery Award and a two-time individual all-around national champion. In 2000, because he had pursued collegiate gymnastics rather than the USOC's program, the USOC elevated two inferior and lower-scoring gymnasts to the Olympic team and named <mask> as the "alternate." The USOC's attempt to send a message was widely derided and became the subject of continuing scrutiny. In fact, the "backroom" dealings and secretive process that resulted in what was widely considered to be punitive action, exposed the US Olympic coaches' biases to nationwide embarrassment and shame. Childhood

<mask> was born on 22 February 1979 in Wilmington, Delaware and grew up there. <mask> was a club gymnast at Prestige Gymnastics in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.<mask> was a member of the Junior National team for two out of three years between 1994 and 1997. In 1994, he won bronze in the all around at J.O. Nationals. He graduated from Alexis I. duPont High School in 1997. College career

<mask> competed for Ohio State from 1998-2001, under coach Miles Avery. <mask> was a seven-time all-American. In 2000, <mask> was the NCAA champion in the all-around and in floor exercise.In 2001, Ohio State were the team champions, and <mask> repeated his all-around gold. That year, he was awarded the Nissen-Emery Award, the men's gymnastics version of the Heisman. Senior elite career

Pre-Olympic Trials

<mask> was an intermittent member of the Senior National team between 1997 and 2001. In 1998, he was named to the 1998 Goodwill Games. In 1999, <mask> won gold on the high bar at the U.S. National Championships; a knee injury hampered him from competing on all events. In 2000, <mask> again

Before the meet, <mask> told his coach 'I'm making the team, I'm going after it.' Starting the meet on high bar, he scored a 9.9, which was the highest scored routine of the meet. After sticking his landing, <mask> stomped off the podium, slapping high fives and walking up and talking to the camera. Next, on floor exercise, <mask> earned a 9.625. He showed a similar emotional reaction, walking up and down, getting congratulations from other gymnasts and making the outburst "do the math now, baby" in the vicinity of the judges. The NBC commentator said, 'if you like rah rah in your gymnastics, we have your man, <mask> of Ohio State'. After five events, <mask> was sixth and faced the parallel bars.He scored a 9.625, his best result on that apparatus during the season. This moved him into fifth in the all around ranks. 2000 was the first year that U.S. selection was not based strictly on the top all arounders. Only the first four all arounders (based on a 60-40 average of Trials and U.S. Nationals) were assured spots on the Olympic Team. Blaine Wilson, Paul Hamm, Sean Townsend, and Stephen McCain were the top four. The last two spots were chosen by a committee. They chose Morgan Hamm and John Roethlisberger, who had finished sixth and seventh, respectively; <mask> was named as the alternate.After the announcement, <mask> and Roethlisberger were stunned. Roethlisberger pulled <mask> aside for a private conversation before the team answered questions. When he emerged, <mask> told the press:

They could just pick the top six guys, but that might not be the best team. You have to

 put the best team on the floor. I can see where they’re coming from. Morgan is absolutely great on floor and vault. And John is great on the other four events.It’s a no-brainer. The head of the selection committee and the coach for the 2000 delegation was Peter Kormann, who had been the Ohio State coach until <mask>'s freshman year. He said the committee had only considered the value of all gymnasts on different events in order to help the team, and not the all around scores after the top four were chosen. We went with the guys we thought could get the job done. It's not because of brothers like the Hamms or personalities. This was about what was best for the team. This is the team we believe can bring home a medal.Later after the athletes had met with coach Kormann, <mask> said:

I'm just chilling, No, I don't think the process was flawed. I had my best night and it just wasn't enough. They had the numbers. I'm happy to be the alternate. Raj Bhavsar, an Ohio State teammate of <mask>'s had also competed at the 2000 Trials and said:

I feel for him. Deep down, I always thought he would be one of the guys. I wish he was.He would never have been a wrong choice. He's a great competitor and a great guy. John Roethlisberger's father and coach, Fred Roethlisberger, commented:

I'm a little sad. I'm not happy with how John did it. I have a lot of empathy for <mask>. A big part of John's emotion up there was because of how he felt about <mask>. It's not an easy thing to accept for him or for me.Last international competition

This meet is an important step for the U.S. men's team. These championships are leading up to the World Championships next year. It's also a big stepping stone for <mask>. It will help to set himself up for the next quadrennium and the Olympics in Athens. At the competition, the United States finished second. <mask> described the competition:

The energy level was great tonight--the crowd was awesome.We came in and hit our routines and did more than we expected tonight. I was really happy with my performance. Departure from gymnastics

After the 2000 Trials, <mask> was encouraged to continue training and try for the 2004 games. However, he spoke out against trying again, citing a need for more than sports training in his daily life. In addition, he said he did not want to sacrifice four years of his life for an uncertain chance and he mentioned the possibility of injury affecting a comeback. After his college career finished in the spring of 2001, <mask> stopped training. He entered medical school the next fall.When interviewed shortly before the 2004 Games, <mask> said:

What's the point of working very hard for another four years to potentially not make the team again because of a random decision? <mask> received a medical degree from The Ohio State University College of Medicine in 2005 and is now a sports medicine physician. References

texts: <mask>  (January 29, 1870 – August 9, 1955) was the author of a classification system he called Bibliographic Classification which is often abbreviated to BC and is sometimes called Bliss Classification. He was named one of the 100 most important leaders in the field of library and Information science in the 20th century by American Libraries in December 1999, which praised his “subject approach to information” as “one of the most flexible ever conceived.” Despite these praises, <mask> was “met with apathy and even derision in his efforts” during his lifetime. His classification system was generally disregarded in favor of other more established classification systems such as the Dewey Decimal System created by Melvil Dewey and the Library of Congress Classification system, causing “more than one author” to label him as a, “prophet without honor.”  Although <mask> was an American, his system was more popular in British libraries than in American libraries. A second edition of the system has been developed in the United Kingdom in 1977. Several volumes have been published. <mask> was born in New York City. The son of <mask><mask> and <mask>.He became the deputy librarian of City College of the City University of New York, now known as the City College of New York, in 1891, where he worked until he retired in 1940. <mask> never obtained a degree of higher education yet he was extremely erudite and well learned. He was also a poet and published a collection of poems entitled Better Late Than Never (1937.) He was married in 1901 and had four children with his wife, <mask>, before she died in 1943. <mask>’ relationship with the American Library Association was strained at best. He resigned from the institution in 1933 saying that he had received “so dubious a welcome there” and was “treated like an outsider.” He rejoined however in 1937. <mask> was generally rather blunt and biting in his

 criticism of the work of other librarians, and after his wife's death, and near the end of his life, <mask> became something of a recluse.Despite this, at <mask>'s death in 1955 “a generous and moving obituary tribute” was written for him by none other than S.R. Ranganathan. despite the fact that <mask> had criticized Ranganathan by saying that he took him, “Less seriously then some others do, including himself.”

Bibliographic Classification
<mask> is most remembered for his ideas on library classification and the classification system he developed, which he called Bibliographic Classification. The full four volumes of Bibliographic Classification appeared from 1940 to 1953 and “marked half a century of sustained effort” by <mask>. <mask>'s reasons for developing this system were primarily because of his discontent with the Classification systems that were at use at the time. For example, <mask> says, “[that] The International Institute’s adoption of the Decimal Classification some 35 years ago, [was] for the specious reason that no better system was then available.” <mask> was emphatic about the fact that “good classification, ‘dignifies the library as an embodiment of knowledge.’”

The basis behind this system is the idea of a “subject approach to knowledge,” where books are ordered in a logical systematic way that is “intertwined with the organization of knowledge in society.” <mask> stressed this relationship by saying “Organizations of Knowledge thus become organizations for thought.” In an article entitled "The System of the Sciences and the Organization of Knowledge" written by <mask> in the January issue Philosophy of Science from 1935, he outlines seven major “principles of classification for organization of knowledge and thought.” Briefly stated and explained, they are,

Organization - This first principle, while being fairly self-explanatory, <mask> explains by saying

texts:
 “Free thought, like free life, without organization, may rove and rave like Bedlam in a Tower of Babel.”
Subordination - “of the more special classes [or subjects] to the more general,” for example placing geometry under the more general subject of Mathematics. Coordination – “The third structural principle, that classes, or sub-classes, of the same order, or grade, may be arranged serially either vertically or horizontally.”
Extension– “Serial, branched, and crossed classifications may be combined in structures of three or more extensions.”
Collocation –  or rather, arrangement “of closely related classes for functional efficiency.”
Gradation in Speciality – Bliss says “as the several sciences become more definite in scope, each becomes more or less special in relation to others, and accordingly they may be arranged in a scalar series of gradation in speciality.”
Maximal Efficiency – This is the seventh principle “per se.” and is a result of the first six principles when they are followed.Another of the important features of <mask>'s work is his ideas on “Alternative Location.” This simply means that <mask> provided provisions in his system for the possible different shelf locations of certain materials. This can be described as “For certain topics… two or more places would be provided and the individual library would select the one most appropriate to its needs.”  One critic described this as, “a handsome concession to rival school of thought.”

Reception
The reception of <mask>'s classification system was mixed at best. <mask> said that he received “more discouragement than encouragement from the first.” Many readers of <mask>'s work disliked his ideas simply because of the writing style. This was because <mask>'s writing was usually very complex and wordy. One critic said that <mask>'s writing was “much too long. Its exposition is frequently tedious and it has an overplus of

 trivial observations.” The reviews weren't all bad, though. Susan Grey Akers, in 1936, wrote that <mask>'s system “has possibilities which are interesting and thought-provoking.” Grace O. Kelley, writing in 1934 said, “a field of investigation is here presented which… would go far toward lifting librarianship to a plane of scholarship easily ranking with other disciplines which glory in the possession of subject matter which they can call their own”

Legacy and lasting importance
<mask> is often overlooked in the history of Library Science in favor of such giants as Melvil Dewey and S.R.Ranganathan. However, it is important to remember that “his work represents a major step along the way to the modern classification scheme.”  Maltby and Gill in their book The Case for <mask>, writes,“It would be easy to pronounce [<mask>’s work] as a failure. Nevertheless… no individual in the history of bibliographical classification has equaled the time spent by <mask> in ascertaining and weighing the needs of learning, in the penetrating analysis of other systems and the slow evolution of his own.”

He was compared to Melvil Dewey by <mask>:
“His goals and aspirations were different from those of Melvil Dewey, whom he certainty surpassed in intellectual ability, but by whom he was dwarfed in organizational ability and drive. Dewey was a businessman, but he was in no sense as profound in his accomplishments.”

<mask> worked for four years in Hewlett Packard labs as a research scientist where she studied networks created from large data sets, such as studying medical literature for gene-disease connections and modelling search processes on real-world social networks. In 2005 <mask> left HP Labs for the University of Michigan. She took a sabbatical in 2013 to join Facebook's data scientist team, where she stayed.<mask> is an editor for information science at the Network Science journal. Since April 2013, the journal publishes 3 issues per year. <mask> taught an online course "Social Network Analysis" on Coursera. Research and achievements
<mask>'s research is focused on analysing virtual world and social networks in particular. Together with Eytan Adar she holds U.S. patent 07162522 on User profile classification by web usage analysis. The method allows to predict user attributes (demographic information) based on an analysis of accessed web pages. While working on her PhD, <mask> obtained another U.S. patent 6631451 and 6415368: System and method for caching.It uses quality or value attributes, provided by a recommender system or by thorough analysis of site accesses that are attached to cached information to prioritize items in the cache and to identify higher value information. These methods aid in analysing networks. <mask> studies different aspects of online networks. For instance, using graph and text mining techniques together with her colleagues, she analyzed the usage patterns of Twitter during the House, Senate and

They found significant relationships between content and election results, which is why more detailed analysis of several campaigns could be useful to predict which Twitter campaigns are the most effective. The analysis of cultural differences when using social networks can be useful for the developers of the social networks. <mask> together with her colleagues is exploring these differences.In one of her papers she tries to find the differences between usage of Q & A tools in social networks across two Western (United States and United Kingdom) and two Eastern cultures (China and India). It turned out that Eastern users tend to write serious professional networking questions, whereas Western users post questions just for fun. These differences are important for designing social networks for specific cultures. Studying how family members communicate on Facebook revealed that the interaction on Facebook doesn't decrease with the distance, which means that in the U.S. Facebook is a very important tool for parents/grandparents to communicate with their children/grandchildren. The results of the paper are actually very important and can be used to prioritize news stories, recommend friend connections with other relatives or automatically generate lists for privacy settings. In her paper about rating friends on Facebook, Dr. <mask> and her co-authors suggest the way to improve Facebook system of ranking friends to avoid awkward situations when friends rated one another differently. Particularly they suggest

 to use an alternative, anonymous feedback system.The other question which interests Adamic is information diffusion through social networks. After studying 253 million subjects on Facebook, they found that weak ties are more influential than strong ties. Tie strength is determined by how often individuals communicate with each other through private messaging, replying to the same comments, or the number of real-world communication captured by Facebook. There is no doubt that mass adoption of online social networks lead to high information flow and high availability of this information for the individuals. However, it turned out that in transmitting important information such as new job vacancies or future plans weak ties have an advantage compared to the strong ties, because they have fewer mutual contacts, this is why every person has access to the information to which the other person does not.

 for the national team in an international game, with his first game against the Sri Lanka national football team in 1972. He helped Malaysia to win bronze in the 1974 Asian Games and two gold medals in the Southeast Asian Games in 1977 and 1979 respectively. He even scored a double winning goals for 2–0 Malaysia Selection against Arsenal F.C. in a friendly game in 1975 that led to rumours of the English top clubs' interest in him. After the game, he had an offer from one of the European giants, the Real Madrid C.F.but declined to join because of his patriotism to his country and native club of Selangor. Known for his speed and accuracy, <mask> was named Best Asian Striker by World Soccer magazine when he was 23 years old. <mask> was famous for his speed and roars of Supermokh from the crowds were common, with many of the younger generation idolizing him with some trying to imitate his moves on the field. <mask> once scored a goal for Malaysia from the half way line beating Joe Corrigan with an incredible shot in a 1–1 draw against England B in 1978, dribbling past half of the opposing team coached by Bobby Robson. Also memorable was when Gordon Hill praised <mask> as "Hero Dahari" in Shoot! magazine in his column after the England B tour in 1978. Coaching career
After <mask> started having injury problems, he became a local coach to help the younger generation become better footballers.One of his trainees was a young Roshan Thiran, future Co-founder and CEO of Leaderonomics, who regularly speaks on his experiences playing under <mask>. <mask> asked his former F.A. Selangor partner, Reduan Abdullah to write a book about his life and his career. <mask> also coached for F.A. Selangor at times. After his retirement, he became a player-coach for Kwong Yik Bank after his career. Retirement

Before becoming a professional footballer, he played other sports such as badminton, sepak takraw, and hockey. <mask> worked for PKNS in the afternoon and played football in the evening. He earned little during his time with PKNS.He later quit PKNS and worked for Kwong Yik Bank to gain better prospects for himself and his family. <mask> met Tengku Zarina Tengku Ibrahim through friends. After knowing her for 10 years, they finally got married on 24 February 1979. He then became the father of three children: Nur Azera (the eldest daughter), Mohd Reza (the eldest son) and Nur Arina (the youngest daughter). Illness and death
<mask> began having throat problems and went to the hospital to find out what the problem was. Doctors diagnosed him as having motor neurone disease (MND) with the discovery only being told to him and his wife. He then went to London with his wife in an attempt to cure his condition.After three years battling the disease and his condition worsening, <mask> died at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) on 11 July 1991. The press reported <mask>'s suffering from muscular dystrophy as the cause of his death. His body was laid to rest at Taman Keramat Permai Muslim Cemetery in Taman Keramat, Ampang, Selangor. His life journey and the real cause of death was only revealed for the first time in a documentary called "The Untold Truth About Supermokh" in the National Geographic Channel on 30 August 2010, about 19 years after his death.

In an interview, <mask> said that she spoke out against United Nations bombing tactics waged in Somalia in the effort to kill rebel leader Mohamed Farrah Aidid. <mask> also said that she repeatedly disagreed with policy on multiple occasions but continued her work at the State Department. Resignation
<mask> submitted her resignation letter to then U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell on March 19, 2003, the day before the onset of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. Her letter was published on the internet the following day.In her resignation letter, <mask> listed four reasons she could no longer work for the U.S. government under the Bush administration:
 The decision to invade Iraq without the blessing of the U.N. Security Council
 The "lack of effort" in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process
 The "lack of policy" in regard to North Korea
 The curtailment of civil liberties within the United States. <mask> was the third of three State Department officials to retire from service in protest in the month prior to the invasion of Iraq, the other two being Brady Kiesling and John H.

In a 2007 interview on the Air America Radio network, <mask> described the 9/11 Commission report on the September 11 terrorist attacks as "totally inadequate", adding that she does not understand why the US national intelligence and defense operations completely failed and how the Pentagon could be hit on 9/11. Earlier, in 2004, she had signed a Letter to Congress, criticizing the Commission report for serious shortcomings and omissions, which according to the signatories renders the report flawed and casts doubt on the validity of its recommendations.

 recent novel, Chiara di Assisi- Elogio della Disobbedienza, was published in October 2013.Relationship with Italy
In an interview with Monica Seger, <mask> <mask> stated that, despite her attachment to Italy and its culture, she does not feel like a cultural ambassador. Very often, she tries to analyze her country critically since being able to view the world through critical eyes is one of the duties of an intellectual. Her criticism is based on the expectations she has of her country; the more intellectuals try to be critical of their country, the more they want to see it function well. As an intellectual, Maraini tries "to illuminate, to persuade other people of what could be changed in a country that has possibility, a great country, a country of great people that have done great things"  because she wants "to persuade Italians that [they] can do better". Writing and traveling
Furthermore, the interview focuses on <mask>'s meaning of being a writer and a critic. For instance, her book, La Seduzione dell’altrove, is very significant because it outlines her feeling towards her work. According to her, writing and travelling are both forms of illness and a therapy.They are an illness because they are stressful and tiring but a therapy because they give her an opportunity to “look from afar and perhaps see things better”. Relationship between the theatre and public
When discussing the importance of the relationship between her books and plays with the public, according to Maraini, the relationship with the public is more important in the theatre because, differently from books, plays deal with the collective and social aspect. While a novel is a more personal relationship with a single reader, plays focus on the live public that can be participating or not. Also, differently, it is easier to feel whether the public is participating or not compared to a book. Work
Bagheria (1993) is <mask>'s only autobiographical work to date. <mask>'s works have a general pattern to which they abide;

 a series of short stories and novels reflect her "prefeminist stage" are characterized by a sense of alienation, total disorientation, and the need for self-assentation through sexuality. <mask>'s "transitional stage," best characterized by her novel, A memoria, demonstrates a tone shifting from inaction to an active search for innovative expression.<mask>'s subsequent and more progressive novels, such as Donna in guerra (Woman at War), in which her female characters break free of traditional gender roles and explore their sexuality and social activism, reflect <mask>'s involvement in the feminist movement during the late sixties and early seventies. Themes
Many reoccurring themes evident in <mask>'s work are: personal freedom for women, exposing the use and abuse of power and its effects on women, women breaking free of traditional gender roles to explore their sexuality and social activism, the silencing of women in society and their appearance in the fashion-system, the seclusion and isolation of women as a result of women seeking their independence and freedom, motherhood as a form of confinement for women, and thus abortion as their only option, violence against and rape of women, women breaking free from being seen as sex objects, and characters' experience with homosexuality, pedophilia, and group sex. Maraini and feminism
Although <mask> states she is a feminist only in the fact that she is always on the side of women, much of <mask>'s work has been classified as feminist. The nature of <mask>'s work evolves in line with women's changing position in Italian society and exposes the use and abuse of power and its effects on women. <mask>'s progressive works helped change the general impression that women should solely fulfill domestic roles. <mask> <mask> underwent “a process of evolution in ideology”   divided into two forms; one that outlines the individual's close relationships with reality and the other based on motivation to further the cause of women's rights.

 writers such as Pallotta, a series of short stories and novels reflected Maraini's prefeminist stage.The literary works include La vacanza (The Vacation, 1962), L’età del malessere (1963). Her pre-feminist stage is characterized by the sense of alienation, total disorientation and the need for self-assentation through sexuality. Pallotta states “social and psychological disorientation [is] rooted in a passive consciousness that refuses to come to terms with reality”. The transitional stage is characterized by the need to search for new modes of literary expression. These stages led to a feminist viewpoint that reflects a feminist awareness. Feminist novels include A memoria and Donna in Guerra. These novels are very significant and are a representation of the Italian Feminist Movement of 1968.The importance of these two works is the research of the protagonists’ “total unity.”  This total unity can be considered part of the constituent stage of her literary expression of feminism. She also won the Premio Napoli & Sibilla Aleramo prize (1994) for "Voci," the Premio Mediterraneo and the Premio Citta di Penne for "Viaggiando con passo di volpe," the Sitges International Prize in Spain, the Premio Candcni, the Italian Premio Riccione, and she was both a finalist for the Man Booker International Prize and a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature (2012) New Shoes Theatre Website

 medicine residents. In the spring of 2020, <mask> published the book, Malignant: How Bad Policy and Bad Evidence Harm People with Cancer.Views and reception

In 2011, <mask> and colleagues published a research letter in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Charles Bankhead, a senior editor at MedPageToday, covered the topic, outlining the paper's primary point, which was the high prevalence of research articles demonstrating findings that deviated from the accepted standard of treatment at the time. Separately, "Retraction Watch" reported on <mask>'s personal remarks about the paper, saying "For a long time, we were interested by what we believe to be a pervasive problem in modern medicine. Namely, the spread of new technologies and therapies without clear evidence that they work, which are later (and often after considerable delay) followed by contradictions, which, in turn, after yet another delay, is followed by changes in practice and reimbursement." Matthew Hoffman, writing in 2012 for MedPageToday's KevinMD covered a paper by <mask> and colleagues on "When to abandon ship" when it comes to failing medical practices and treatments. Hoffman builds on the authors' proposed barriers to market entrance, such as evidence of effectiveness in large randomized controlled studies before broad usage, and links them to the insidious aspects of healthcare, such as profit and status. In 2013, <mask> Pittman interviewing <mask> about his further views on the intervention. According to the interview, <mask> advises against filter placement in all but the most extreme instances owing to a lack of proof and possibility for adverse events. In 2013, <mask>'s paper A Decade of Reversal:  An Analysis of 146 Contradicted Practices was published; The article was covered in a piece by The Huffington Post, which highlights a key lesson from the paper: patients should become more involved in their health care decisions rather than assuming a prescribed medication or device is beneficial. Patients may do this by asking their physician pertinent questions, such as what patient outcomes the intervention improved. Additionally, the article discusses the concept of healthcare cost. With growing anxiety about the expense of healthcare, utilizing

 limited resources on questionable medical practices with a weak evidence base threatens to jeopardize both the healthcare economy and patient health.Additionally, the authors of a Lancet Oncology editorial remark that "almost 10% of practice reversals occurred in oncology," suggesting that certain fields of medicine may be more susceptible to medical reversals than others. In a MedPageToday column written in October 2020, <mask> discussed the need to either reform or boycott additional fellowships. Due to the numerous disadvantages of extended healthcare training (e.g., deferred earnings, stringent parental leave policies, etc. ), there may be a need to create alternatives or realign incentives. <mask> suggests in a similar column that even medical residencies may require reform. He does, however, point out that while the system has its limitations, medical residents should not ask for pity because being a doctor is a privilege. <mask> has criticized other medical skeptics for their choices of topics to tackle, including homeopathy, as being poor use of their time.Skeptics David Gorski and Steven Novella published criticisms of and counter-arguments to <mask>'s stance, pointing out the perils of not challenging alternative medicine during a pandemic. In October 2021, <mask> prompted social media controversy when he published a blog post comparing the U.S. COVID-19 pandemic response to the beginnings of Hitler's Third Reich. Bioethicist Arthur L. Caplan said that <mask>'s arguments were specious and ignorant, and science historian Robert N. Proctor said that <mask> was "overplaying the dangers of vaccination mandates and trivializing the genuine harms to liberty posed by 1930s fascism". Selected works

In order for this transformation to take place, the protagonist Besa must defy all odds and defy his family’s wishes.His journey takes him from his home village in Samfya to the University of Zambia,
back to his village and finally Lusaka. – The novel mixes fact and fiction. Although the characters are fictional, the settings are real places which a reader may recognise when reading. The University of Zambia for example is a factual place. One may further realise that the timing of the novel in terms of duration is realistic. For example the time Besa spends at the university is believable.
