The Certification Question
Get PDFIn lieu of an abstract, here is an excerpt:
While the formalized discipline of intimacy work may be newer, the work itself has been happening in formal and informal ways for centuries. A number of intimacy training organizations have popped up around the world to meet the growing demand for qualified intimacy professionals and broader consent education. Theatrical Intimacy Education was founded, in part, to help meet that need.
All of these organizations have slightly different approaches to intimacy work, organizational structures, and visions for what the intimacy field should be. Those differences are cultural, philosophical, and practical. Diversity of approaches is a good thing for everyone and I genuinely believe that all of the intimacy organizations are doing what they think is best to make the industries we work in a better place.
The people leading the field are always leveraging power, for better or for worse, and I think we need to be deeply critical about the systems we intentionally or inadvertently introduce or perpetuate. I think the choice to introduce or perpetuate certification and certification-style systems in intimacy work is a major error that is undermining the good work the field is trying to do. 
Self-Similar Structure of k- and Biperiodic Fibonacci Words
Get PDFDefining the biperiodic Fibonacci words as a class of words over the alphabet {0,1}, and two specializations the k-Fibonacci and classical Fibonacci words, we provide a self-similar decomposition of these words into overlapping words of the same type. These self-similar decompositions complement the previous literature where self-similarity was indicated but the specific structure of how the pieces interact was left undiscussed
Mujeres que reseñan a mujeres en revista Sur (1931-1992). El caso de la literatura infantil
Get PDFDespite the extensive bibliography on Sur, this Argentine journal still offers new fields of investigation, many of them of special interest for Women\u27s studies. In this case, we will look into those reviews written by women about women, and we will pay special attention to those dedicated to a genre that has been significant in the career of many Latin American female writers: Children\u27s Literature.A pesar de la extensa bibliografía existente sobre Sur, esta revista argentina aún ofrece nuevos campos de análisis, muchos de ellos de especial interés para los estudios sobre mujeres. En este caso, se consideran las reseñas allí publicadas por mujeres sobre mujeres y se presta especial atención a aquellas dedicadas a un género que ha sido significativo en la trayectoria de muchas escritoras latinoamericanas: la literatura infantil
Clumsy Packing of Polyominoes in Finite Space
Get PDFClumsy packing is considered an inefficient packing, meaning we find the minimum number of objects we can pack into a space so that we can not pack any more object. Thus, we are effectively spacing the objects as far apart as possible so that we cannot fit another object. In this paper, we consider the clumsy packing of polyominoes in a finite space, which must consider boundary conditions. We examine rectangle, L, T, and plus polyominoes of various sizes.
