The School of Law Observes its Centennial Year: Harvard\u27s Dean Pound Delivers Lectures
No full textDean Emeritus Roscoe Pound of the Law School of Harvard University came to the Georgia campus in early February and delivered a series of three lectures. Dean Pound, now in his ninetieth year, is the outstanding legal scholar in America and perhaps in the world. His visit was the highlight of the Centennial of the University of Georgia School of Law. The lectures had to do with the science of law, a subject to which he has devoted seventy years as a lawyer, supreme court justice, author, and law teacher.

Modernism, antisemitism and Jewish identity in the writing and publishing of John Rodker
No full textThis thesis examines the relationship between the English Jewish writer and publisher John Rodker and the modernism of the Pound circle. Previous considerations of the antisemitism of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot have either
ignored or cited in their defence their Jewish friends and acquaintances. This thesis shows that the modernist interest in the figure of `the Jew' took effect not only in
their poetry and social commentary but also in the social grouping which they formed in order to produce and circulate this writing. Rodker was both a necessary
figure to Pound's theory and practice of modernism, but one who had to be kept on the margins. This resulted in his being able to articulate certain aspects of his
experience as an assimilated Jew-loss, disconnection, feeling out of place place-while excluding any other possible aspects, including naming himself as Jewish.
Chapter 1 shows that Pound and Eliot's antisemitic statements and poetry functioned as part of the formation of the `men of 1914', and as a means of shocking their audience through a poetry of ugliness. Chapter 2 considers a printing error in Rodker's Ovid Press edition of Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920), and reads it as a sign of Pound's failure to carry out his social and poetic project, a failure which he blamed on Jews, but, because this failure was inevitable, part of the task for carrying the project out was assigned to Jews. Chapter 3 reads Rodker's volume
of poetry Hymns (1920), and traces how his marginal position within modernism resulted in a poetry which did not directly address Jewish issues, but was affected
by his Jewish social position. Chapter 4 considers Rodker and two other Jewish writers, Carl Rakosi and Louis Zukofsky, who Pound published in The Exile (1927-
28), showing that Pound's interest in these writers was combined with an unease with them that played out in editorial decisions and means of framing their work.
Chapter 5 examines Rodker's Memoirs of Other Fronts (1932). His selfdescriptions of himself as a foreigner are shown to be still influenced by the Pound circle's ideas of Jews, but also reworked through his increasing interest in

A theoretical analysis examining the construct of a pound of fat equaling 3,500 kilocalories
No full textThe caloric deficit required for a pound of body weight loss is reported to be 3,500 kilocalories (Wishnofsky, 1960). However, published articles, textbooks, and professional organizations equate a pound of fat mass loss to 3,500 kilocalories (Applegate, 2011; Mayo Clinic, 2012; Kravitz, 2007; Cerrato, 1987). The purpose was to perform a theoretical review pertaining to caloric deficits required for equivalent changes in body composition, body weight, and fat mass loss. An online database search was performed using key words such as adipose tissue, adipose cell, body composition, body weight loss, fat mass loss, adipose loss, diet, direct calorimetry, and 3,500 calories. 43 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 of which were used for calculating caloric equivalents. The differences in caloric deficit required for a pound of body weight loss, adipose tissue loss, and fat mass loss was compared to the calculated theoretical caloric equivalent for a pound of fat mass loss. A percent error measurement was calculated between the theoretical caloric equivalent for a pound of fat mass loss to the caloric equivalents for a pound of body weight loss, adipose tissue loss, and fat mass loss. The energy equivalent of body weight loss varied considerably, dependent upon the constituent portions of fat, water, protein, carbohydrate and mineral lost. Adipose tissue also varied with type and was dependent upon the composition of lipid, water, and protein. The most valid theoretical equivalent for a pound of fat was calculated at 4,423.90 kilocalories (Péronnet & Massicotte, 1991) based on in vivo extraction of human intracellular lipid samples. The calculated percent errors between the theoretical caloric equivalent for a pound of pound of fat mass and published, accepted values for a pound of body weight loss, dietary lipid loss, adipose tissue loss, and fat mass loss were 20.88%, 7.65%, 15.23%, and 20.88%, respectively. Studies and professional organizations have equated a pound of body weight loss to 3,500 kilocalories, a pound of adipose tissue to 3,750 kilocalories, and a pound of fat mass to 3,500 kilocalories (Wishnofsky, 1960; Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010; AHA, 2010, 2014; Applegate, 2011; Mayo Clinic, 2012; Brown, 2001; McArdle, 2010). Contrary to this, a pound of fat mass loss is equal to 4,423.90 kilocalories, and this severely underestimates the caloric values needed to achieve desired fat mass loss. This use of the proper caloric value for fat mass loss has the potential to improve exercise and nutrient recommendations for achieving healthy body fat values

Borrowing Time: The Classical Tradition in the Poetic Thoeries of T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound
No full textT. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound are two of the most prominent figures of Anglo-American modernist poetry, both having played central roles in the development of a distinct poetic style and atmosphere in the early 20th century by means of their publishing and editing the work of other poets as well as publishing their own poetry. However, Eliot and Pound have an interest in the classical world that is not clearly shared with the majority of other modernist poets, and this interest distinguishes the sense of modernism that Eliot and Pound promoted from that of other major modernists like William Carlos Williams. The general notion of modernism representing a radical break from tradition is, in the works of Eliot and Pound, not at all obvious despite the two poets\u27 shared status at the forefront of Anglo-American modernist poetry. This thesis explores the aesthetic theories that Eliot and Pound describe in their prose works and compares them with the aesthetic theories of other modernist poets to illustrate how Eliot and Pound appreciate the past, and in particular the classical world, in ways that other modernists simply do not
Ezra Pound: Poetry and Politics
No full text David Anderson, ed. Pound's Cavalcanti: An Edition of the Translations, Notes and Essays. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1983. 297 + xxxvi pp. Daniel Hoffman, ed. Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams. The University of Pennsylvania Press, 1983. 247 + xx pp. E. Fuller Torrey, M.D. The Roots of Treason: Ezra Pound and the Secret of St. Elizabeths. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1984. 339 + xx pp. These three books testify to the continuing growth of Pound studies, and two of the three suggest that if readers are going to consider the poet's work at all, they must consider it in the light of his politics. E. Fuller Torrey, for example, begins his book on Pound's controversial incarceration at St. Elizabeths Hospital with the bold assertion that "recent release of files in the [U.S.] Department of Justice... has made it possible to understand Ezra Pound"; he also claims that an understanding of the man "in turn permits an understanding of his poetry, for the man and the poems are one" (p. xix). That one can truly "understand" any author, let alone one as complex as Ezra Pound, and thus "understand" his poetry, is a claim that sees very little literary sophistication in its making; a mere undergraduate's passing familiarity with the biographical fallacy would suggest as much, while a more finely tuned critical sensibility might regard a statement such as "the man and his poems are one" as particularly irresponsible and foolish, especially when applied to a poet whose oeuvre stresses objectivity and includes a book called Personae. </jats:p
Potential competitiveness of pound in post-crisis world
No full textThe author discusses the factors and trends that determine the British pound’s competitive position in various segments of the international monetary system. Despite the devaluation effect caused by Brexit, the pound is still the most expensive of the key international currencies. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the ratio of the British pound monetary aggregate M1 to GDP is significantly lower than that of other major economies – issuers of reserve currencies. Thus, the pound has the lowest monetary risk of depreciation compared to other currencies. On the other hand, the international significance of the pound sterling is explained by the ability of British economy to service the huge external debt, which in relative size is the largest among the leading economies of the world. This state of affairs is achieved due to the fact that London is home to the largest number of foreign companies in the world that carry out operations in various Eurocurrencies, acting simultaneously as the main issuers of external debt obligations. The attractiveness of the pound sterling as the currency for the nomination of international debt instruments is due to the less risky currency profile of the pound sterling, as well as the relatively higher profitability of debt instruments. After the global financial crisis, the share of the pound in the official reserves of other countries and in the implementation of international payments is gradually increasing. The author comes to the conclusion about the possible strengthening of the future role of the pound as a stabilizer of international economic relations against the backdrop of an increase in unpredictable events taking place on both sides of the Atlantic such as fiscal crisis of the euro area, Brexit, the growing political tension in the USA, COVID-19. These events are increasingly threatening leading positions of the US dollar and the euro as the key international currencies
