Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Friedman Family Papers 1844-1944
No full textAaron Friedman was a rabbi, shochet, and author. He was a shochet in Stavisk, Poland, Bernkastel-on-the-Moselle, Germany, and New York City, and author of a defense of the practice of Shechita entitled, âTuv Taâamâ in 1874. This collection also contains information on his son, Abraham Friedman and his grandson, Nathan Friedman. This collection consists of correspondence, business documents, family photographs, personal effects, genealogical information, and publications.This collection is located at the American Jewish Historical Society located in Boston. For information on accessing collections at AJHS Boston please visit their website at: http://www.ajhsboston.org/index.htm.Donor information unknownAaron Tzevi Friedman was born in Stavisk, Poland on March 22, 1822. When he was seventeen he became the shochet (a licensed and trained ritual slaughterer) for the city of Stavisk. He later moved to Bernkastel-on-the-Moselle in Germany where in 1844, he became a rabbi and shochet for the city. He married Rebecca Lieberman of Frankfort. In 1848, he moved to New York where he was chosen as shochet of one of the largest abattoirs (slaughterhouse) in the city. In response to attacks made against the practice of shechita, Friedman wrote a defense of shechita entitled âTuv Taâamâ in 1874. He became known as the âBaâal Shemâ of America because of his strict Orthodoxy. He remained a shochet of New York City until his death on May 17, 1876.Finding Aid available in Reading Room and on Internet.Published citations should take the following form: Identification of item, date (if known); Friedman Family Papers; P-948; box number; folder number; American Jewish Historical Society, Boston, MA and New York, NY.far031

Forecasts, indicators and monetary policy
No full textWhen setting monetary policy, should policymakers target variables such as commodity prices or interest rate spreads, which are sensitive to the market's expectations of inflation? Or are variables such as money growth, which are tied to the underlying causes of inflation and economic growth, better indicators of the economy's path?

Milton Friedman and U.S. monetary history: 1961-2006
No full textThis paper, using extensive archival material from several countries, brings together scattered information about Milton Friedman's views and predictions regarding U.S. monetary policy developments after 1960 (i.e., the period beyond that covered by his and Anna Schwartz's Monetary History of the United States). The author evaluates these interpretations and predictions in light of subsequent events.Friedman, Milton ; Federal Reserve System - History ; Economic history
Rotational modes of relativistic stars: analytical results
No full textWe study the r modes and rotational "hybrid" modes (inertial modes) of relativistic stars. As in Newtonian gravity, the spectrum of low-frequency rotational modes is highly sensitive to the stellar equation of state. If the star and its perturbations obey the same one-parameter equation of state (as with barotropic stars), there exist no pure r modes at all—no modes whose limit, for a star with zero angular velocity, is an axial-parity perturbation. Rotating stars of this kind similarly have no pure g modes, no modes whose spherical limit is a perturbation with polar parity and vanishing perturbed pressure and density. In spherical stars of this kind, the r modes and g modes form a degenerate zero-frequency subspace. We find that rotation splits the degeneracy to zeroth order in the star's angular velocity Omega, and the resulting modes are generically hybrids, whose limit as Omega-->0 is a stationary current with both axial and polar parts. Because each mode has definite parity, its axial and polar parts have alternating values of l. We show that each mode belongs to one of two classes, axial-led or polar-led, depending on whether the spherical harmonic with the lowest value of l that contributes to its velocity field is axial or polar. Newtonian barotropic stars retain a vestigial set of purely axial modes (those with l = m); however, for relativistic barotropic stars, we show that these modes must also be replaced by axial-led hybrids. We compute the post-Newtonian corrections to the l = m modes for uniform density stars. On the other hand, if the star is nonbarotropic (that is, if the perturbed star obeys an equation of state that differs from that of the unperturbed star), the r modes alone span the degenerate zero-frequency subspace of the spherical star. In Newtonian stars, this degeneracy is split only by the order-Omega2 rotational corrections. However, when relativistic effects are included, the degeneracy is again broken at zeroth order. We compute the r modes of a nonbarotropic, uniform density model to first post-Newtonian order

Rotational modes of relativistic stars: numerical results
No full textWe study the inertial modes of slowly rotating, fully relativistic compact stars. The equations that govern perturbations of both barotropic and nonbarotropic models are discussed, but we present numerical results only for the barotropic case. For barotropic stars all inertial modes are a hybrid of axial and polar perturbations. We use a spectral method to solve for such modes of various polytropic models. Our main attention is on modes that can be driven unstable by the emission of gravitational waves. Hence, we calculate the gravitational-wave growth time scale for these unstable modes and compare the results to previous estimates obtained in Newtonian gravity (i.e. using post-Newtonian radiation formulas). We find that the inertial modes are slightly stabilized by relativistic effects, but that previous conclusions concerning, e.g., the unstable r modes remain essentially unaltered when the problem is studied in full general relativity
