James Stephens
No full textJames StephensIrish writer. His date of birth is uncertain, but probably not the 1882 which JJ believed. Raised in an orphanage, his early published writing began with pieces in the journal Sinn Féin. He became a prolific author, making a name with fiction (notably The Crock of Gold, 1912) but also publishing poetry and Irish history and culture. In 1925 he moved to London, and in the 1930s Stephens gave radio broadcasts for the BBC on assorted literary topics. While Stephens initially disdained JJ's writing, JJ developed a fascination with Stephens in 1927, believing that they shared a birthday, and at one point suggested to Stephens that he should finish the then-languishing "Work in Progress" (noted first in JJ's letter of 20 May 1927 to Harriet Shaw Weaver, LI 253-54). Fortunately this did not come to pass. Nevertheless, they became friends, corresponding and visiting from time to time. JJ translated Stephens's poem "Stephen's Green" into at least five languages.

Dear Mr. Stephens:
Mr. Stupka, of the Park Service, x'jas here a few days
ago to see about the Kephart property.
As I understand they plan to construct a museum in Swain
County as soon as possible after the war and would like to
place the property in the museum. This would be a fine thing
and I believe would meet the approval of all Mr. Kephart!s
friends. In the meantime, however, until the museum is constructed, I think it ?jould be well for us to hold the property.
I have talked with Mr. Kelly Bennett, who is a member of the
Kephart committee, and this, of course, meets with his approval,
Yours truly,
Sgd. Thurman Leatherwood.

Tamed and untamed political emotions
No full textThe complex entanglement between reason and emotion is evident in all political debate. In public discourse the idea that politics is concerned only with the reasoned exchange of dispassionate arguments is maintained by marginalising less rational human feelings and in viewing passions as politically dangerous.
Over the last decade, social and cultural theory has challenged the liberal notion that emotions have no place in the public sphere. So what place do the emotions have in politics, asks Julie Stephens as she discusses three books on the theme in the Australian Review of Public Affairs.

Enhancing Everyday Cognition in Healthy Older Adults via Non-Invasive Neurostimulation and Memory Training. An Integration of Neuroscience and Rehabilitation Science
No full textOlder adulthood is associated with decline in working memory (WM) and prospective memory (PM) performance. These declines can negatively impact everyday cognitive task ability (e.g. remembering to take medication;Woods et al., 2014), which subsequently affect quality of life. Cognitive training interventions are designed to restore cognitive abilities, but many fall short and show little transfer to untrained tasks (for review see: Karbach & Verhaeghen, 2014). To extend cognitive training we paired it with neurostimulation in healthy older adults to extend our previous positive findings (Jones, Stephens, Alam, Bikson, & Berryhill, 2015). This approach successfully elicited WM beyond training benefits in the group receiving WM training and higher intensity transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). This current study also tested for improvements in everyday cognition, explored optimal tDCS parameters, and the underlying tDCS mechanism. Over 5 consecutive days, we paired WM and PM training with parametric anodal tDCS dosage (Sham, 1mA, or 2mA) to the right prefrontal cortex (PFC) in healthy older adults (aged 55-85; N = 90). At follow-up a month later, there were significant improvements in everyday cognitive ability only in those who received 2mA of tDCS. FNIRS data revealed a significant reduction in bilateral PFC recruitment in the 2mA group potentially indicative of improved efficiency. Finally, tDCS may modify dopaminergic activity in PFC, and tDCS-based WM enhancement may be genotype-specific
Nate Stephens Earns Two Best Paper Awards
No full textIt is a rare thing for an author to win a best paper award for his or her published research. It is even more unusual, however, for an author to win two of those awards in the same year. Yet Nate Stephens, assistant professor of accounting, has done just that for research published in the Accounting Horizons and Issues in Accounting Education journals.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/huntsman_news/1045/thumbnail.jp
The U.S.-Korea Alliance at 60 Years: Looking Back, Looking Forward
No full textIn a special lecture titled The U.S.-Korea Alliance at 60 Years: Looking Back, Looking Forward, Ambassador Stephens will draw on her nearly 40 years of experience in Korea and her diplomatic career to place the U.S.-Korea relationship in historical context and discuss the issues that will define it in the 21st century, including relations in the region, North Korea, and global issues such as addressing climate change and promoting sustainable economic growth.
Ambassador Stephens is a Koret Fellow and Visiting Scholar at Stanford University’s Shorenstein Center for Asia and Pacific Research, where she teaches and speaks on issues related to the U.S. and Asia. Ambassador Stephens served as a U.S. career diplomat from 1978-2013, achieving the personal rank of Career Minister. She was U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea from 2008 to 2011. A few of her earlier foreign assignments included consular and public affairs officer in Guangzhou, China, chief of the internal political unit in Seoul, and principal officer of the U.S. Consulate in Busan, Korea.
Ambassador Stephens’ awards include the Korean government’s Sejong Cultural Prize and the Korea-America Friendship Association Prize, the YWCA’s Women’s Leadership “Special Prize” Award, and the Outstanding Achievement Award from the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea. Ambassador Stephens is the author of “Reflections of an American Ambassador to Korea.”https://digitalcommons.lmu.edu/ybminlectureseries/1013/thumbnail.jp
Juvenile Classics from the Rutherford Park Press
No full textSixteen large-format (10 x 13) pages plus four full-page chromolithographs. Apparently this is the second in a planned series of eight folios on fables. It includes pages 16-32. The cover's description includes this: Quarto size; compiled from Aesop, LaFontaine, and the Russian of the celebrated Kriloff. Some of these are old and favored acquaintances, while others are here publsihed for the first time in this country. Embellished with handsome full-page illustrations, printed in colors, from characteristic designs by Stephens and others. Illuminated cover. Issued in 8 numbers, each number complete in itself. Nos. 1 and 2 now ready. Price per No. 50 cents. I am not sure what the illuminated cover entails. The front flyleaf includes To Florrie from her teacher. Tina J. Tillon. 1872. The back cover is missing. The four chromolithographs are ambitious but flawed: the various colors are not exactly enough placed, and the resulting impression is blurred. These include The Lark and Her Young Ones (17); FG (24); The Wolf Turned Shepherd (27); and The Fox and the Sick Lion (30). I am surprised to find a bulldog with a gun in FG! The Lark and Her Young Ones and The Wolf Turned Shepherd are colored versions of Dore. Two of the first four texts in this booklet come from Croxall. I take this to be a large, worthy early experiment in chromolithography. The front cover advertises Little Workers by J.C. Beard, in preparation and shortly to be issued. The Library of Congress dates this book of Beard's to 1871. Thus I have guessed at a date of 1870 for this publication.Anna Milbourn
