Lucky Broken Girl
Lucky Broken Girl (2017) is multicultural coming-of-age novel for young adults, based on the author's childhood in the 1960s. <mask> Mizrahi and her family recently emigrated from Castro's Cuba to New York City. Just when she's finally beginning to gain confidence in her mastery of English –and enjoying her reign as her neighborhood's hopscotch queen – a horrific car accident leaves her in a body cast and confined to her bed for a long recovery. As <mask>ie's world shrinks because of her inability to move, her powers of observation and her heart grow larger and she comes to understand how fragile life is, how vulnerable we all are as human beings, and how friends, neighbors, and the power of the arts can sweeten even the worst of times. Writing for Cuba Counterpoints, Julie Schwietert Collazo writes, "Behar, without fail, always seems to be writing with the goal of honoring her own history, experiences, and feelings, without ever denying or excluding those of others, and in Lucky Broken Girl the achievement of this goal is evident on every page." Traveling Heavy
Traveling Heavy (2013) is a memoir about her Cuban-American family, descended from both Askenazi and Sephardic Jews in Cuba, as well as the strangers who ease her journey in life.Her probings about her complicated Jewish Cuban ancestry and family's immigration to America explore issues about identity and belonging. Kirkus Reviews described her book as "A heartfelt witness to the changing political and emotional landscape of the Cuban-American experience." Behar studies the revitalization of Cuban Jewish life as an anthropologist, but her personal journey back to the island she left as a little girl is the heart of this "memoir I snuck in, between journeys.

 An Island Called Home An Island Called Home (2007) was written in <mask>'s quest for a better understanding of Jewish Cuba and particularly her family's roots. She noted, "I knew the stories of the Jews in Cuba, but it was all about looking at them as a community". Traveling the island, Behar becomes the confidante to a host of Jewish strangers, building connections for further anthropological research. Conducting one-on-one interviews, combined with black-and-white photography, she builds readers an image of the diasporic thread connecting Cuban Jews to one another.Beginning with Jewish immigrants of the 1920s, who fled unrest in Turkey, Russia and Poland, she moves on to stories of later immigrants, Polish and German Jews who fled to Cuba in the 1930s and 1940s in order to escape persecution and the concentration camps of the Nazis. In Cuba immigrants opened mom-and-pop shops, peddled, and gradually adopted Spanish while still speaking Yiddish, settling into Latino life in La Habana Vieja. In the early part of the century, many Jewish immigrants worked in the Cuban garment industry. More than 94% left during and after the 1959 revolution. As her family was among those who left Cuba, <mask> intertwines her personal thoughts and feelings with her professional, analytical observations of the current society. The Vulnerable Observer The Vulnerable Observer recounts <mask>'s passage to integrating subjective aspects into her anthropological studies. Suffering her grandfather's death while on a field trip to Spain to study funeral practices, she decided the ethnographer could never be fully detached, and needed to become a "vulnerable observer".She argues that the ethnographic fieldworker should identify and work though, his or her own emotional involvement with the subject under study. She strongly critiques conventional ideas of objectivity. She suggested that the ideal of a "scientific," distanced, impersonal mode of presenting materials was incomplete. Other anthropologists, including Claude Levi-Strauss, Georges Devereux, and Clifford Geertz, had also suggested that the researcher had to claim being part of the process more openly. <mask>'s six personal essays in The Vulnerable Observer are examples of her subjective approach. <mask>'s grandparents emigrated to Cuba from Russia, Poland and Turkey during the 1920s. In 1962 they fled Cuba to escape Castro's communism.At the age of nine, <mask> suffered a broken leg from the crash of her family's car. She was immobilized for a year. The experience and recovery period led her to the recognition that "the body is a homeland" of stored memory and pain. Translated Woman
In 1985, Behar was working in Mexico when she befriended an Indian witch working as a street peddler. Townspeople said the witch, Esperanza Hernandez, had used black magic to blind her ex-husband after he regularly beat her and then left her for his mistress. <mask>'s portrayal of Esperanza's story in Translated Woman suggests she alienated her own mother, inspiring <mask> to portray Esperanza as a feminist heroine. Esperanza claims she found redemption in a spiritualist cult constructed around Pancho Villa.She blamed pent-up rage about her husband and life as the reason for the deaths in infancy of the first six of her 12 children. Esperanza's rage led her to beat up her husband's lover, throw her son out of the house, beat a daughter for refusing to support her, and disown another son for having an affair with an uncle's ex-mistress because she considered it to be incestuous. <mask> reflects on her own life and begins to think that her Latina-gringa conflicts result from a feeling of loss after having tried to model herself according to the American Dream, thus losing some sense of her Cuban Jewish family's past in that island nation. Esperanza's odyssey examines physical borders, margins and separations. Translated Woman contributes to the feminist argument that studying women in anthropology has been undervalued due to traditional academic prejudices that view women-centered analysis as too personally biased. Awards and honours
In 1988, <mask> was the first Latino woman to be awarded a MacArthur fellowship. *In 2011 she gave a Turku Agora Lecture.

Turpie made regular appearances on Bandstand, Time For Terry and The Graham Kennedy Show. <mask>'s talents as musician and compere were recognised at 21, when he replaced Johnny O'Keefe for a stint as national television compere on Sing Sing Sing. He was subsequently chosen to host the top-rating teenage variety show The Go!! Show from mid 1965 until the end of 1966. He was an early boyfriend of Olivia Newton-John, with whom he had starred in the 1965 Australian musical telefilm Funny Things Happen Down Under, Newton-John's debut performance.

In 2005 <mask> pleaded guilty to drink driving after driving in Manly, New South Wales, with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 (the legal limit in the state is 0.05). He was fined $867 and had his drivers licence suspended for six months; however this was overturned on appeal. After taking into account Turpie's charity work and his need to drive to work, Judge Reg Blanch ordered that no conviction be recorded. Turpie told reporters he was sorry for doing a "stupid thing".

Youth and Pedagogical work

<mask> was born on January 17, 1905 in Balta, Podolian Governorate (today in Odesa Oblast, Ukraine). In 1924, he entered and in 1929 he graduated from the Odessa Conservatory as a conductor, class of A. Stolyarov. However, he is not found work as a conductor, because in 1925-1926 he was a member violinist Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater. Surviving in one way or another way by musical earnings <mask> decides to improve his musical skills and graduated in 1936 the Leningrad Conservatory on the composition (class of Pyotr Ryazanov). Since then, <mask> binds entire music fate with Leningrad and the Leningrad Conservatory. First, in 1938, he teaches composition at the Central music College in Leningrad, but in 1939 he was give the place of a teacher and at the Leningrad Conservatory.In connection with the great Patriotic War the fate during excommunicated him from the Leningrad Conservatory. In 1942-1943 he works as a conductor of Kazan management of cinema, and in the period from 1943 to 1944 - the conductor of the Philharmonic hall in Izhevsk. In 1963 <mask> received the title and the position of associate Professor at the Leningrad Conservatory, and after writing his Doctoral thesis on "Mobile counterpoint and free letter" from 1967 he worked as Professor. After World War II, in early 1947 <mask> is close friends with Johann Admoni, which together with like-minded people did in those years informal free (folk) music institution at the House of composers in Leningrad  - Seminar of Amateur composers. He is a teacher at the Leningrad Conservatory because <mask>nik were able to give the Seminar status actually a branch of the Leningrad Conservatory, without the right to issue state diplomas to the participants. However, he always contributed to any student in the admission to the Leningrad Conservatory. In the years of perestroika in connection with the deteriorating health <mask> was forced to leave the favorite Leningrad and the Leningrad Conservatory and move towards her daughter to Moscow, where he died in 1991 at the age of 86.Musical creativity
Before World War II <mask> wrote music for films, in particular, he wrote the music for the film "Patriot" (1939) and "Return" (1940). However, it was always drawn to the genre of Opera. In 1933 he created later became his most popular work is the children's Opera in his own libretto to the poems of Samuil Marshak "Fire", which for many years was sung on the radio and pleasing to the pre-war kids. His symphonic cantata on the motives of poems Musa Jalil performed in the Leningrad Philharmonic in the 1950s repeatedly. The public was not left without the favorable attention his cycle of romances on verses of Musa Jalil. The main composer achievement of <mask> was the creation the first Chuvash Opera "Narspi" ("Runaway"), which he wrote in 1952 on the poem "Narspi" the K. Ivanov (libretto by I. Maximov-Koshkinskiy  and P. Gradov). In March 1955 forces of the choir, orchestra and solicitously state Philharmonic society and the Chuvash state ensemble of song and dance in Cheboksary 3 pictures of the Opera were delivered  (musical Director F. Lukin, conductor Century A. Kudashev, directed by I. Maximov-Koshkinskiy, artist P. D. Dmitriev, starring made soprano T. Chumakova).Unfortunately the great success of the Opera did not have, but went down in history of the Chuvash people as the first Opera of the life of simple Chuvashes. In 1958 in Moscow was executed and his Opera "the Seagull". Scientific work
In his youth, in the years of study at the Odessa Conservatory, <mask> was fond of polyphonic music, and even in those years learned to freely write mirror Canon (one of the music polyphonic forms), which can be played on the right to left and Vice versa. In his mature years he realized the full force of polyphonic thinking for composers and began a systematic study of creativity of the majority of composers that use polyphonic technology of writing, from Johann Sebastian Bach up to the creations of his contemporary Dmitry Shostakovich. As a result, in 1973, he created the fundamental work "The anthology of canon" M, 1973. A huge number of composers uses to this day in their creativity of his most popular repeatedly reprinted scientific creation "A practical guide to writing canon", Leningrad, 1959, 2nd edition in 1975.

title: Arthur Coningham (RAF officer)

texts:
Air Marshal <mask>Mary<mask>,  (19 January 1895 – presumably 30 January 1948) was a senior officer in the Royal Air Force. During the First World War, he was at Gallipoli with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, was discharged in New Zealand as medically unfit for active service, and journeyed to Britain at his own expense to join the Royal Flying Corps, where he became a flying ace. <mask> was later a senior Royal Air Force commander during the Second World War, as Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief 2nd Tactical Air Force and subsequently the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Flying Training Command. <mask> is chiefly remembered as the person most responsible for the development of forward air control parties directing close air support, which he developed as commander of the Western Desert Air Force between 1941 and 1943, and as commander of the tactical air forces in the Normandy campaign in 1944. However he is frequently lauded as the "architect of modern air power doctrine regarding tactical air operations," based on three principles: necessity of air superiority as first priority, centralised command of air operations co-equal with ground leadership, and innovative tactics in support of ground operations. On 30 January 1948, he disappeared along with all the other passengers and crew of the airliner G-AHNP Star Tiger when it vanished without a trace somewhere off the eastern coast of the United States in the Bermuda Triangle. Early life
<mask> was born in Brisbane, Queensland, on 19 January 1895.His early life was one that made him learn to be adaptable. His father, also <mask>, was noted for playing Test cricket, but was by disposition a con man who was exposed in court for fabricating legal evidence in a trial designed to extort a Catholic priest, Denis Francis O'Haran, secretary to the Catholic Archbishop of Sydney. The resulting scandal drove the older <mask> to remove the <mask> family to New Zealand while <mask> was still young. The change of scene to New Zealand did not change the father's modus operandi; he spent six months imprisoned there for fraud. <mask> was resilient enough and sufficiently motivated to win a scholarship to Wellington College. Although <mask> had won a scholarship, he was not an academic star. However, he was athletic and an outdoorsman, with expertise in horsemanship and with firearms.His parents divorced when he was seventeen; grounds were his father's infidelity. <mask> was maturely assured enough to remark, "Look here, <mask>, you may be my father, but I am ashamed of you." The comment reflects <mask>'s persona; he was abstemious by nature, being a non-smoker, near teetotaler and impatient with obscene language. Military career

First World War service
<mask> volunteered for service in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in August 1914, initially seeing service in the conquest of German Samoa. He then served in Egypt and Somaliland as a trooper in the Canterbury Mounted Rifle Regiment, but developed typhoid fever and was invalided out of service in March 1916. In April, however, he betook himself to Britain and volunteered for the Royal Flying Corps. Posted to 32 Squadron on 19 December 1916 after completing his flying instruction, <mask> flew numerous patrols between 5 January and 30 July 1917, when he was wounded during an aerial combat and invalided back to Britain.During the Battle of Arras, 32 Squadron undertook systematic strafing of German infantry and lines of communication, particularly suited for the Airco DH.2 machines they operated. He returned to France promoted to the rank of Major and in command of 92 Squadron on 1 July 1918 at the age of 23. On 11 August he was wounded again in a particularly intense air combat, but remained in France and resumed flying almost immediately. Through to the end of the war, <mask>'s Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5s conducted bombing and strafing attacks against German aerodromes, troops, gun positions and transport. In 11 months at the front he engaged in 176 patrols over enemy lines, was credited with the personal destruction of nine enemy aircraft and shared in the destruction of three others with Evander Shapard, Frank Billinge and <mask>. He was also credited with seven victories for having driven down an enemy machine out of control. <mask> emerged from the war with two awards, a Distinguished Service Order and a Military Cross, both earned during his time with 32 Squadron.During that time he had also acquired the nickname "Mary," a corruption of "Maori" as a play on his earlier life in New Zealand. Inter-war years
After the end of the First World War, <mask> remained in the Royal Air Force, initially remaining as Officer Commanding 92 Squadron. During the early 1920s he served as a technical and flying instructor before being posted to 55 Squadron flying Airco DH.9As out of Mosul in Iraq. In the summer of 1923 <mask> was promoted to squadron leader and appointed as the Officer Commanding of 55 Squadron. From early 1924 to early 1926 <mask> carried out staff officer duties, first at the headquarters of Egyptian Group and then at the headquarters of RAF Middle East. While posted at Egypt Group, <mask> was assigned to lead a detachment of three DH.9As of 47 Squadron on a flight of  cross country to introduce the first aircraft to Nigeria while undertaking "a training exercise on an extended scale... using ordinary service equipment." Leaving Helwan near Cairo on the morning of 27 October 1925, the three aircraft reached Kano, Nigeria without serious incident on 1 November.The return trip, retracing their outward route, began early on 12 November and marked the first trip across Africa by air from west to east. They completed the estimated journey of  in 80 hours of actual flying time, flying on 16 of the 24 days of the mission, all without major difficulties. <mask> received an award of the Air Force Cross for the achievement. After further service at the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell and the Central Flying School, <mask> was promoted to wing commander in 1931. The next year he was sent to the Sudan as the senior RAF officer, and while there, married Nancy Brooks Frank, widow of Sir Howard Frank in July 1932. On his return to Great Britain in 1935 he took up staff duties in Coastal Area/Coastal Command before being promoted to group captain on 1 January 1937 and serving as the Senior Air Staff Officer at the headquarters of No. 17 (Training) Group.From 1937 to 1939, <mask> was the Officer Commanding RAF Calshot, a flying boat base. Second World War service
<mask> began the war as an air commodore commanding Bomber Command's 4 Group, which he led for two years including the first year of the bombing offensive against Germany. His group was small, seldom numbering more than 60 air crews total in the first part of the war, and unlike the rest of Bomber Command conducted its operations at night. Consequently, nearly all of the missions of its Whitley bombers before 19/20 March 1940 were for the delivery of propaganda leaflets over German territory against comparatively ineffective defences. During the remainder of 1940, 4 Group attacked targets in Italy until these were allotted to 3 Group in December, and targets in the Ruhr, all of small scale and causing little damage. <mask> in September received promotion to air vice-marshal. In November, area bombing began, again on a small scale, and continued throughout the winter.4 Group was just beginning to expand and convert its equipment to Handley Page Halifax bombers when <mask> was transferred. In July 1941 he was called to Egypt by Air Marshal <mask>, head of RAF Middle East Command, to take over 204 Group from Air Vice-Marshal Raymond Collishaw. Two months later, to match its growing size and its status with the newly formed Eighth Army, the group was transformed into the Western Desert Air Force. <mask> inherited a poorly functioning situation, where the Royal Air Force was almost totally failing to support ground troops. He promptly delegated out technical duties to those he trusted and did not micromanage them; however, he held his subordinates strictly responsible for achieving the results he wanted. Any mistakes by his underlings that resulted in fatalities to friendly troops were grounds for dismissal by <mask>. Faced with equipment shortages, a hostile desert environment, and superior enemy planes, <mask>'s management system, through judicious deployment of his squadrons, gradually achieved air superiority in the North African campaign.In particular, <mask> developed the use of fighter-bombers, able to fight as fighter planes in the air or in bombing and strafing attacks of enemy ground targets. <mask> developed an efficient ground support system to keep planes flying, and a command and control system to allow ground observers to radio in air attacks. <mask>'s Western Desert Air Force, in continuous air attacks of enemy ground targets, was instrumental in stopping the enemy offensive at El Alamein in July 1942. <mask> formed a close relationship with the new commander of the British Eighth Army, General Bernard Montgomery. Montgomery and <mask> recognised the importance of joint operations. The air power doctrine devised by <mask> is the basis of modern joint operations doctrine. The dominance of the Allied air force was a critical factor in the British victory at the Second Battle of El Alamein in November 1942.<mask>'s doctrine of tactical air power would reach its fruition in early 1943, when RAF and USAAF fighter-bombers and bombers attacked enemy land forces. <mask>'s doctrine was fundamental. He stated that the greatest attribute of air power was its ability to speedily concentrate its force. It followed that its command must also be concentrated. Tactical air power had to be closely coordinated with the ground forces, but the army could not command it. He stated as much in a pamphlet that was widely distributed, to every ranking officer in North Africa, so that they would know what to expect. The pamphlet included <mask>'s priorities for success in use of tactical air power.First, gain air superiority. Second, use the air superiority gained to interdict enemy reinforcements of men and materiel to isolate the battlefield. Third, combine air attacks with ground assaults on the front lines. <mask> was knighted after El Alamein and continued to provide tactical air support for the Eighth Army until they occupied Tripoli in January 1943. Later in 1943 <mask> was promoted to Air Marshal and directed tactical air force operations in the Allied invasion of Sicily and Italy as commander of the Northwest African Tactical Air Force. As the leading exponent of tactical air warfare, <mask> was the obvious choice to command 2nd Tactical Air Force in the North-West European campaign under Air Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, commanding the Allied Expeditionary Air Forces, and in January 1944 he was recalled to Britain where he helped plan air support for the Normandy landings. His relationship with Montgomery deteriorated markedly after the landings took place.The two often clashed when Montgomery regularly tried to bypass <mask>, who was the designated point of contact for air support requests, and deal directly with Leigh-Mallory. At the end of June, Montgomery lobbied Tedder, now deputy commander to U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower at Supreme Allied Headquarters, for <mask>'s removal after he criticised the army for tardiness in capturing Caen in order to make available airfields for tactical aircraft. Tedder, however, advised Eisenhower that such removal would be "a disaster" and the criticism valid. In August 1944 Montgomery wrote to Alan Brooke that "<mask> is violently anti-army and despised by all soldiers; my army commanders mistrust him and never want to see him." However it was Montgomery who received a rebuke from Eisenhower, while Leigh-Mallory's headquarters was dissolved in October as an unnecessary command echelon. He remained commander of the 2nd Tactical Air Force until July 1945, when he was replaced by Air Chief Marshal Sir Sholto Douglas and appointed head of Flying Training Command. A keen yachtsman, in 1947 he was appointed Commodore of the Royal Air Force Yacht Club then based at Calshot; however he later oversaw the move to the current location at Hamble.Retirement and disappearance
Viewing his appointment to Air Training Command as a demotion, <mask> chose to retire on 1 August 1947 after 30 years of commissioned service. He disappeared on 30 January 1948 when the airliner G-AHNP Star Tiger in which he was travelling to Bermuda was lost off the east coast of the United States. In popular culture
In the film Patton, <mask> is played by John Barrie. During his scene, in which General George S Patton is complaining about lack of air cover for American troops, Sir <mask> confirms to Patton that he will see no more German planes. As he has completed his sentence, German planes strafe the compound. Although a similar scene happened in real life, in actuality, <mask> was not present; Patton was talking to General Carl Spaatz and Air Chief Marshal <mask> at the time of the strafing. See also

Early life
<mask> <mask> was born on 24 May 1985, in Kyoto Prefecture. His family moved to Nara Prefecture when he was still in pre-school for his father's job, but they moved back to Kyoto Prefecture in his second grade. At Nagaokakyo Municipal Nagaoka Daishi Junior High School, he began to play basketball after joining the basketball club with his friends, and he became so obsessed with basketball that he chose to enrol in Kyoto Prefectural Koyo High School because it had one of the basketball teams in Kyoto Prefecture. He was the captain of the school basketball team in his final year. With an ambition to win the favour of girls, Yamashita began dancing in his second year of high school.His friend taught him breaking, and they performed at the cultural festival of his high school that year. Being so fond of dancing, he quitted university 10 days after his enrolment and then spent his time practicing dancing and doing part-time jobs. He also switched from breaking to Hip-Hop because with the limit of his height(187 cm), it would be harder for him to perform classic breaking dance moves like the windmill. Seeing his love for dancing, his mother suggested him to go to a proper dancing school to make a living out of it. As a result, he enrolled in the street dancing department at Cat Music College in Osaka. Upon graduation, Yamashita was offered the job of a parade dancer at Universal Studio Japan. He worked there for 2 years and participated in many shows and parades.In 2007, Yamashita got an opportunity to serve as a backup dancer in Exile's tour Exile Live Tour 2007 'Exile Evolution. He was shocked and impressed after seeing the performance of Exile in close distance, and the seed of dreaming to become an artist just like Exile took root in his heart. He enrolled in EXPG Osaka(a talent school run by Exile's management company LDH) as soon as it opened and he became an instructor there later. His students included Yuta Nakatsuka, Mio Nakajima, Shūka Fujii, Karen Fujii, Zin, Shogo Iwaya, Masahiro Sunada and Rikiya Okuda. Then he quit his steady job at Universal Studio Japan to focus on his dream, much to the surprise of the management team of USJ since it seems insane to give up such a well-paid job. His resignation was accepted after he showed his determination to try his best to pursue his dream, and he got blessings from his former bosses and colleagues. During his time at EXPG Osaka, he did more backup dancers jobs for Exile and other LDH's artists.He met Naoto and Naoki, his future Sandaime J Soul Brothers' groupmate and Nidaime J Soul Brothers' members at that time, when he served as a backup dancer for Nidaime J Soul Brothers' shows in Osaka. In 2009, he took part in the audition for Gekidan Exile,the actor group produced by LDH. Though he is one of the finalists，he was not chosen as a formal member of Gekidan Exile. Anyway, he was invited to take lessons in Tokyo together with the winners as a backup candidate. Taking this opportunity, he moves to Tokyo from Osaka. Career
After a year of lessons in the days and part-time jobs at nights in Tokyo, Yamashita was chosen to debut as an actor and a member of the actor group Gekidan Exile Kazegumi (the team of wind) in April 2010. He performed in Gekidan Exile's play NIGHT BALLET and was in charge of the choreography for the final all-in dance scene.In May 2010, he performed in Gekidan Exile's 4th play DANCE EARTH ~Negai~. In September 2010, Yamashita passed the audition for performers of the new Sandaime J Soul Brothers. The life changing announcement for Yamashita was announced at the rehearsal for Exile's Exile Live Tour 2010 'Fantasy in Noevir Stadium Kobe by Hiro, producer of Sandaime J Soul Brothers, and he was thrilled to finally saw his dream coming true. In fact, he had considered giving up his dream and going back to Kyoto to become a dance instructor or a professional angler if he failed this audition. On 27 September, He appeared and performed for the first time as a member of Sandaime J Soul Brothers on the stage of Exile's Live FANTASY After Night Festival ～EXILE Soul～. On 10 November, he debuted in Sandaime J Soul Brothers with the single, "Best Friend's Girl". In December, he performed in Gekidan Exile's play Rokudenashi BLUES playing Hamada, a strong fighter of the boxing club.In July 2011, He officially withdrew from Gekidan Exile. In August, he reprised his role as Hamada in TV drama Rokudenashi BLUES as a guest star. In July 2013, Yamashita appeared in TV drama Frenemy~Rumble of the Rat~, playing journalist Kenichi Jogasaki. He appeared in two plays in this year, Attack No.1 from August to September and Monsieur! From October to November.

title: Laura Kipnis

texts:
<mask> is an American cultural critic and essayist. Her work focuses on sexual politics, gender issues, aesthetics, popular culture, and pornography. She began her career as a video artist, exploring similar themes in the form of video essays. She is professor of media studies at Northwestern University in the Department of Radio-TV-Film, where she teaches filmmaking. In recent years she has become known for debating sexual harassment and free speech policies in higher education. <mask> was born in Chicago, Illinois. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the San Francisco Art Institute and a Master of Fine Arts from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.She also studied at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Studio Program. She has received fellowships for her work from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Michigan Society of Fellows, and the National Endowment for the Arts. She has been assistant professor, associate professor, and is now full professor at Northwestern University. She taught previously at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and as a visiting professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, New York University, Columbia University School of the Arts, and the University of British Columbia. Work
In her 2003 book Against Love: A Polemic, a "ragingly witty yet contemplative look at the discontents of domestic and erotic relationships, <mask> combines portions of the slashing sexual contrarianism of Mailer, the scathing antidomestic wit of early Roseanne Barr and the coolly analytical aesthetics of early Sontag." In 2010 she published How to Become a Scandal: Adventures in Bad Behavior, which focused on scandal, including those of Eliot Spitzer, Linda Tripp, James Frey, Sol Wachtler, and Lisa Nowak; the book examined "the elaborate ways those transgressors reassure themselves that they are not bringing colossal ruin upon themselves, that their dalliances will never see the light of day". "What allows for scandal in <mask>'s schema is every individual's blind spot, "a little existential joke on humankind (or in some cases, a ticking time bomb) nestled at the core of every lonely consciousness...Ostensibly about scandal, her book is most memorable as a convincing case for the ultimate unknowability of the self".Her essays and reviews have appeared in Slate, Harper's, Playboy, The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, The Atlantic, The Guardian, and Bookforum. Writings about sexual harassment policies
In March 2015, after Northwestern University professor Peter Ludlow had been accused of sexual harassment, <mask> wrote an essay in the Chronicle of Higher Education in which she decried "sexual paranoia" on campuses and discussed professor-student sexual relationships and trigger warnings. The essay was later included in the Best American Essays of 2016, edited by Jonathan Franzen. A group of students at Northwestern protested <mask>'s piece, demanding that the administration reaffirm its commitment to the sexual harassment policies that <mask> criticized. In an opinion column for The Wall Street Journal, Northwestern University president Morton O. Schapiro referred to the protest and argued for maximum speech in such conflicted situations. Two students "took issue with the piece, saying <mask> was describing a real-life scenario and that her facts were off. They accused <mask> of retaliatory behavior and creating a hostile environment".They filed a complaint with Northwestern's Title IX office, arguing that her essay had a "chilling effect" on students' ability to report sexual harassment. The school opened an investigation into the case. <mask> discussed the charges and details of the investigation of those complaints in an essay titled "My Title IX Inquisition," noting that her faculty support person had also been brought up on Title IX complaints over public statements about her case. Northwestern eventually exonerated her. Title IX complaints were also filed against Northwestern's President Schapiro over his Wall Street Journal column. <mask>'s 2017 book, Unwanted Advances: Sexual Paranoia Comes to Campus discusses the Ludlow case and argues that sexual harassment policies do not empower women but rather impede the fight for gender equality. One of the students who had brought the Title IX complaints against Ludlow initiated a lawsuit naming <mask> and her publisher, HarperCollins, alleging invasion of privacy and defamation.<mask> has publicly stated, "In case there’s any confusion, Unwanted Advances remains in print and I stand by everything in the book." Unwanted Advances was named one of the Wall Street Journal'''s ten best non-fiction books of 2017. Jennifer Senior wrote in the New York Times, “Few people have taken on the excesses of university culture with the brio that Kipnis has. Her anger gives her argument the energy of a live cable.”

In addition to speaking on college campuses around the country about issues related to feminism, free speech, #MeToo, campus sexual politics, and gender equity, in 2017 <mask> participated in a New York Times Magazine roundtable on the subject of "Work, Fairness, Sex and Ambition" together with Anita Hill and Soledad O’Brien. <mask> said:Here’s a historical and political way of looking at the current moment. There have been, roughly speaking, two divergent tendencies in the struggle for women’s rights that come together in the issue of workplace harassment, which is why I think this all seems so significant. If you look at the history of feminism, going back to the 19th century, you’ve got, on the one hand, the struggle for what I’d call civic rights: the right to employment, the right to vote, to enter politics and public life.On the other side, there’s the struggle for women to have autonomy over our own bodies, meaning access to birth control, activism around rape, outlawing marital rape, and the fight for abortion rights. What we’re seeing now is the incomplete successes in both of these areas converging. We’ve never entirely attained civic equality. We’ve never entirely attained autonomy over our bodies. Which is why the right not to be sexually harassed in the workplace is the next important frontier in equality for women. New York Review of Books controversy
<mask> wrote, in a New York Times opinion piece "The Perils of Publishing in a #MeToo Moment" protesting the Books' firing of editor Ian Buruma: "One consequence of Mr. Buruma’s departure will be a new layer of safeguards we won’t even know are in place, including safeguards from the sort of intellectual risks The New York Review of Books always stood for."

One source has <mask>' date of death listed as 10 December 1884, separately noting that it was his funeral service that was conducted on 16 December 1884. <mask>, son of David and Mary, was born at Bwlch-yr-helygen, Cardiganshire. His parents relocated shortly after his birth to a nearby farm called Castell-y-geifr (The castle of the goats), Powys, Wales. <mask> died in 1884 at the age of 81, leaving his vast collection of personal essays and poetry with the Congregational Minister and Historian - <mask> (Clwydwenfro), one of <mask>' former pupils. Education

<mask>' father had an above-average education, and was <mask>'s first teacher. <mask> entered formal education at age 7, enrolling at the school at Neuaddlwyd near Aberayron.His education at Neuaddlwyd was largely religious, with the school being primarily aimed toward producing preachers and ministers, rather than academic scholars. <mask>'s teacher was the school’s headmaster, the Congregational minister Thomas Phillips (1772 - 1842). <mask> was here when the first Welsh missionaries left Wales for Madagascar, namely, David Jones and Thomas Bevan,  who <mask> later regarded as ministerial colleagues. In 1822, at age 18, he was accepted into the Independent Academy at Newtown under the care of <mask>, <mask>' fellow pupils were David Rees and Samuel Roberts. It was here that <mask> mastered the elements of Hebrew, Syriac, Aramaic, Greek, Latin and divinity. General literacy was typically reserved at this time for the wealthy and the clergy. Career

<mask> accepted an invitation to Glandwr Welsh Independent Chapel, Pembrokeshire, on 6 months probation, and was ordained into the parish on 28 March 1827.Two years later, in 1829, he founded Moreia Welsh Independent Chapel in Blaenwaun, one of the five villages of Llanwinio parish, Carmarthenshire, Despite this, he remained at Glandwr until 1863. Upon leaving Glandwr after 35 years of service, <mask> transferred to Moreiah (Moreia Welsh Independent) church, where he remained until he died. He served as chairman of the Union of Welsh Independents from 1873. Personal life

First was his youngest child, David, who died aged five on 4 October 1848.He was fatally wounded by a falling stone after climbing through a gap in a cobblestone wall. He was buried at Moriah. <mask> died on 20 February 1859, at the age of 19. She suffered from a burst blood vessel during a severe cold, and later died following a short illness. Like her brother David, she was also buried at Moriah. Mary Anne <mask> died shortly after giving birth to her first child on 10 January 1860, at the age of 26. She was buried at Penycae, near Llanarth.Mary Anne left behind her baby boy, named David Jones, who was then cared for by an aunt and uncle at Wern Mill. <mask> lost his last child, <mask> <mask>, on 14 March 1861, aged 25 years. He was blown from the mast-head of the ship Hibernia, after passing the Liverpool lightship. Despite a long search, his body was never found. The Hibernia was travelling from Liverpool to New Brunswick. Publications

His published works include poems, songs, scriptural translations and Welsh literary essays. His better known work, "Notes on the Minor Prophets (Y Proffwydi Byrion)" was an original translation into Welsh from Hebrew (with marginal Latin), Syriac and Greek readings.The translation is considered to be his greatest feat; the result of forty years of research and labour. <mask>' other papers include translations - Llyfr Coheleth and Llyfr Hosea; Lectures on St. Peter's Epistles, Horae Petrinae (Darlithau ar epistolau Pedr), and a collection of his own original verse and poetry - Flores Poeticae (casgliad o'i farddoniaeth).

The National Library of Wales houses the <mask> collection, comprising over 70 items of personal correspondence, essays, diaries, sermons, translations of segments of the New Testament, with commentaries, poetry, lectures, almanacs, and miscellaneous papers. In addition to the <mask> collection is the Album of 'Clwydwenfro', assembled by one of <mask>' pupils and admirers, the Reverend <mask> James (Clwydwenfro). The album contains hundreds of items pertaining to the life and death of <mask>, the majority of which are letters, books, proposals, church records, sermons, poetry and music. The collection was provided to the National Library of Wales by Mr J<mask> Jones, Beulah, Cardiganshire, a descendant of <mask>, in 1933. Pseudonyms in publications

<mask> used a number of pseudonyms in his writings. His best-known pseudonym was Shôn Gymro (or Siôn), which translates in Welsh to "John Welshman", a typically generic name for what may be deemed to be a hypothetical and average, male Welshman. Other names used in his writings were Castellanus (sometimes believed spelled Castellamis), often used with his English correspondence, and Shôn Llethi (or Siôn), used when writing in Welsh.While "Shôn Gymro" is regarded to be his better known pseudonym for Welsh writing, Shon Llethi may have originally served as a nickname for more personal affairs, before also evolving into a pseudonym for which he would sign his poetry and essays that were submitted to local newspapers. <mask>' official name recorded with the Cardiganshire local council at the time of his death was "<mask>wr <mask>", suggesting that <mask> was also known with the additional middle name "Glandwr", the town in which he held a ministerial role at the local parish. A lesser familiar pseudonym he used was De Castello. <mask>' pseudonyms were revealed publicly long after his death in a newspaper article submitted by his friend and student, <mask> James (Clwydwenfro).
