No full textabstract: This dissertation examines the performance of various federal departments on the success of their integration of personnel based on race and gender. It determines if there are variations in the success rate and explores the reasons for the variations based on the literature review and data analysis. The data used are federal employee data compiled by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Merit System Protection Board, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission through use of personnel surveys from 1979 through 2002 and annual reports. The study uses a cross-sectional model to test whether women and minorities in General Schedule grades 13 -15 have benefited from the implementation of Affirmative Action policy in their prospective agency over time. The effect of department size and affirmative action on the success rate of women and minorities was observed. The data shows that women at the GS 13 -15 grades have made significant gains in their participation rates at all of the departments within the study from 1979 - 2002. The gains made by minorities at the GS 13 -15 grades were not at the same rate as women. In several departments, the participation rates were either flat or decreased. The regression model showed that there is a linear relationship between the success of women and the success of minorities at the GS 13 -15 grade levels within federal departments.Dissertation/ThesisPh.D. Public Administration 201
Terra sigillata tardo italica
No full textIn questo articolo l’Autrice riassume i nuovi dati riguardanti una particolare produzione ceramica, la Terra Sigillata Tardo Italica, nome con cui si designa la ceramica fine da mensa con vernice di colore rosso, prodotta durante l’ultimo periodo di attività delle fabbriche italiche (vedi anche altre voci di bibliografia dell’Autrice). La produzione si distingue in due macro gruppi: le produzioni tarde lisce (TSTI) e le produzioni tarde decorate (TSTID). Per quanto riguarda il primo, le novità più rilevanti sono costituite dai contesti provenienti da Roma, dal suburbio e da Ostia, editi di recente, che mostrano l’evoluzione delle fabbriche italiche sino alla metà del II secolo d. C.; per quanto riguarda, invece, il secondo gruppo le novità più significative riguardano l’identificazione più precisa dei centri di produzione, situati comunque sempre nell’Etruria settentrionale marittima.In this paper the Author summarizes the new available data on a particular ceramic production, the so called ‘Terra Sigillata Tardo Italica’, a name which designates the fine tableware with red slip, produced during the last period of activity of the Italic factories (see also other entries of the Author’s bibliography). The production is divided into two main groups: the undecorated late productions (TSTI), and the decorated late productions (TSTID). With regard to the first group, the most important novelties come from recently published contexts of Rome, Ostia and the Suburbs, which show the evolution of the Italic factories until the mid II century AD. As regards the second group, the most significant issue is related to a more precise identification of the manufacturing centres, always located in the northern Etruria
Ceramica e coroplastica dalla Magna Grecia nella Collezione De Brandis (Cataloghi e monografie archeologiche dei Civici Musei di Udine, 8)
No full textCatalogo di 417 oggetti di produzione greca, magnogreca e indigena della Magna Graecia (vasi figurati e vernice nera, statuette e altri manufatti in terracotta, lucerne, tra il VII secolo a.C. e l'età tardoantica) della Collezione di Augusto de Brandis, conservata nei Musei Civici di Udine. I reperti, molto eterogenei e talora di notevole interesse, provengono per lo più dalla Magna Grecia e furono acquistati dal conte Augusto de Brandis tra la fine dell'Ottocento e i primi decenni del XX secolo. Il catalogo è completato da ampi capitoli introduttivi sul collezionismo ottocentesco, sulla storia, l’archeologia e la topografia antica di Taranto e dell'Apulia (principali luoghi di provenienza dei reperti presentati), e sulle singole e assai numerose classi di materiale. Ogni oggetto è corredato di una fotografia in bianco e nero e da una scheda di catalogo. Il volume contiene anche un saggio sulle lucerne di Elena Braidotti, allieva particolarmente meritevole dell’autore.
Catalogue of 417 objects produced in Greece, Magna Graecia and in the indigenous sites of South Italy (black glazed and figured vases, terracotta figurines and other artifacts, oil lamps, from the 7th century B.C. to the Late Antiquity) of the Augusto de Brandis’ Collection, kept in the Civic Museums in Udine. The archaeological finds, very diverse and sometimes very interesting, come mostly from the Magna Graecia, and were purchased by Count Augusto de Brandis in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The catalogue is equipped with extensive introductory chapters about the nineteenth-century collecting, history, archeology and ancient topography of Taranto and Apulia (main places of origin of the objects presented), and with numerous introductions on single groups of artifacts. Each object is accompanied by a black and white photograph and a complete catalogue card. The volume also contains an essay on the greek oil lamps by Elena Braidotti, particularly deserving student of the author

“Extinction Rebellion is a decentralised, international and
politically non-partisan movement using non-violent
direct action and civil disobedience to persuade
governments to act justly on the Climate and Ecological
Emergency.” Extinction Rebellion works to fight against
biodiversity loss and climate change, and recognizes the
disproportional affects climate change has on
communities that contribute the least.
With over 993 groups in 88 countries,
Extinction Rebellion’s strategy entails
nonviolent, civil disobedience; or in other
words, a rebellion. Examples of disruptive
civil disobedience are roadblocks,
organizing mass arrests, theatrical
protests to draw attention, and more.
Extinction Rebellion also utilizes social
media, door knocking, phone calls, house
meetings, speaking to people face to face,
posting flyers, and organizing marches
and rallies.

Located in Bemidji MN. “The activities of the IEN include building the capacity of Indigenous communities and tribal governments to develop mechanisms to protect the sacred sites, land, water, air, natural resources, health of both our people and all living things, and to build economically sustainable communities” (Indigenous Environmental Network History page). Since they are located in North America they help every Indigenous community in all of America. They are located in Minnesota and they help with the pipelines that are in the Dakotas and northern Minnesota.
Mission Statement: IEN is an alliance of Indigenous Peoples whose Shared Mission is to Protect the Sacredness of Earth Mother from contamination & exploitation by Respecting and Adhering to Indigenous Knowledge and Natural Law. Some of the campaigns are DAPL, Keystone XL, Line 3, Carbon trading and offsets, and the transition of making the world a greener space for people to live in. Their allies are Climate Justice Alliance, Grassroots Global Justice, It Takes Roots, Right to the City Alliance, and United Frontline Table.
On the day Joe Biden was inaugurated he helped cancel the international border crossing of the KXL pipeline. Joye Braun was the person who spoke on this. She wanted to “protect the land, our women and children from man camps, to protect the water, our unique medicines, and to protect the sovereignty of our tribe to say no, we don’t want this project” (Keystone XL Pipeline IEN). The Keystone XL pipeline wasn’t even for the United States, it was headed to China.

Solar for All: CFRA got a 62 million
grant from the EPA to help low-income,
rural, and historically disadvantaged
households with solar power. They helped
people learn about the program and
apply. The plan was to increase the
state’s solar energy by 60 megawatts
over 5 years. Before CFRA could
implement the plan, the EPA cancelled the
grant. CRFA expects there will need to be
legal action taken to get access to the
grant money.
