Funny Feminism: Reading the Texts and Performances of Viola Spolin, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and Amy Schemer
No full textThis study examines the feminism of Viola Spolin, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and Amy
Schumer, all of whom, in some capacity, are involved in the contemporary practice and performance of feminist comedy. Using various feminist texts as tools, the author contextually and theoretically situates the women within particular feminist ideologies, reading their texts, representations, and performances as nuanced feminist assertions. Building upon her own experiences and sensations of being a fan, the author theorizes these comedic practitioners in relation to their audiences, their fans, influencing the ways in which young feminist relate to themselves, each other, their mentors, and their role models. Their articulations, in other words, affect the ways feminism is contemporarily conceived, and sometimes, humorously and contentiously advocated

No full textThere has been considerable growth in the use of Virtual Teams in the past decade, and further growth is broadly assumed. Researchers investigating Virtual Teams describe problems these teams encounter, assert that training for virtual team assignments is necessary, and offer suggestions on the issues that such training should address. Further evidence of the training need is that a fortune 100 company employed the primary author to develop the initial version of a virtual team training simulation for their internal use. The 'Virtual Team Challenge' is being used in the Rose-Hulman Project Management course. Participants manage a simulated project for three hours. To successfully complete the project within schedule, they must avoid or resolve problems typically encountered by virtual teams. Participants receive advice and are guided to adopt best practices as defined by our literature review and those offered by the client.Virtual teams, simulation, training, project management

Thanksgiving:
We need to keep before us the truth that everything that we have, everything we are - our wealth, our talents, our very life - are not ours - but are gifts from our generous God. Everything we have has been given to us freely. The Scriptures tell us, time and time again, that the key is thanksgiving. “O give thanks to the Lord, for He
is good, and His mercy endures forever." Saint Paul urges us, “Give thanks to God the Father at all times, and for everything - in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Giving thanks is not always easy: we have to practice. The best time to practice thanksgiving is as soon as we wake up. When the alarm goes off on Monday morning, instead of groaning and allowing waves of anxiety or weariness to wash over you as you think of all the things you have to do that day, at once say, “Thank you God for the gift of a new day.” And then maybe think of at least five things to be thankful for: your health, your family, a roof over head... Name them and say, “Thank you, God.” And before you know it, something has changed inside. God loves to be thanked.
When we give thanks, God changes us; he softens our hearts, and we become more generous towards others and towards ourselves. We are converted through thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving Day we may feel helpless, and caught up in world events over which we have little control - a recession that robs Canadians of the opportunities to work, a global slowdown in the oil industry, continuing violence in the Middle East, and the refugee crisis, unprecedented since the end of the World War. What we need to concentrate on instead, and because of those issues, is giving our thanks to God for the blessings and mercies that are showered on us in Canada, in Alberta, in Vulcan County.
Be thankful to God and never be afraid to show that thanksgiving in some concrete way.
Below is a table grace - perhaps you can use it at your Thanksgiving Day dinner:
Lord God, for the blessings of food and fellowship we are about to receive,
make us truly thankful.
Open our hearts so that in the midst of plenty, we are aware of those who hunger, and in the midst of friends, we remember those who are friendless.
Give us a hunger to do your will, and an appetite to see your kingdom, here
and in the world to come.
We ask all this in Jesus' name. Amen.

There were many debates throughout the day which only goes to show the relative infancy of the process.

Fall books to consider from [email protected] From the creators of the wildly popular Welcome to Night Vale podcast comes an imaginative mystery set in the small town of Night Vale, located somewhere in the great American Southwest, where ghosts, angels, aliens, and government conspiracies are all commonplace parts of everyday life. It is here that the lives
of two women, with two mysteries, will converge. Undermajor- domo Minor by Patrick deWitt
From the bestselling, Man Booker-shortlisted author of The Sisters Brothers, comes a brilliant and boisterous novel that reimagines the folk tale.
In this riveting, poignant memoir of three generations of women and the white dresses
that adorned them, television producer Mary Pflum Peterson recounts a journey through loss and redemption, and her battle to rescue her mother, a former nun, from compulsive hoarding.
Mitch Albom creates his
most unforgettable fictional character— Frankie Presto, the greatest guitarist to ever walk the earth—in this magical novel about the bands we join in life and the power of talent to change our lives.

Terry Fox Run CoordinatorJOKING AROUND
Two doctors, a psychiatrist and a proctologist, opened
an office in a small town......and put up a sign
reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones: Hysterias and Posteriors."
The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to read, "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the council, they changed the sign to "Catatonics and High Colonics." No go.
Next, they tried "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Thumbs down again.
Then came "Minds and Behinds." Still no good.
Another attempt resulted in "Lost Souls and Butt Holes."
Unacceptable again! So they tried "Analysis and Anal Cysts." Not a chance.
"Nuts and Butts?" No way. "Freaks and Cheeks?" Still no go.
"Loons and Moons?" Forget it.
Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends."
Everyone loved it.

During a airline flight a Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms.
When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible. The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon debarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related impedimenta.
When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, "Gosh, that's a good looking baby...and he sure was hungry!"
Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said nursing would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.
The Navy Pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed, "Man!! And all these years I've been chewing gum.

Empagliflozin in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
No full textBackground The effects of empagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease who are at risk for disease progression are not well understood. The EMPA-KIDNEY trial was designed to assess the effects of treatment with empagliflozin in a broad range of such patients. Methods We enrolled patients with chronic kidney disease who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 20 but less than 45 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) of body-surface area, or who had an eGFR of at least 45 but less than 90 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (with albumin measured in milligrams and creatinine measured in grams) of at least 200. Patients were randomly assigned to receive empagliflozin (10 mg once daily) or matching placebo. The primary outcome was a composite of progression of kidney disease (defined as end-stage kidney disease, a sustained decrease in eGFR to < 10 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2), a sustained decrease in eGFR of & GE;40% from baseline, or death from renal causes) or death from cardiovascular causes. Results A total of 6609 patients underwent randomization. During a median of 2.0 years of follow-up, progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes occurred in 432 of 3304 patients (13.1%) in the empagliflozin group and in 558 of 3305 patients (16.9%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64 to 0.82; P < 0.001). Results were consistent among patients with or without diabetes and across subgroups defined according to eGFR ranges. The rate of hospitalization from any cause was lower in the empagliflozin group than in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.78 to 0.95; P=0.003), but there were no significant between-group differences with respect to the composite outcome of hospitalization for heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes (which occurred in 4.0% in the empagliflozin group and 4.6% in the placebo group) or death from any cause (in 4.5% and 5.1%, respectively). The rates of serious adverse events were similar in the two groups. Conclusions Among a wide range of patients with chronic kidney disease who were at risk for disease progression, empagliflozin therapy led to a lower risk of progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes than placebo
