Alexis_(sculptor)

alexis (ancient greek: ) was an ancient greek sculptor and statuary, mentioned by pliny as one of the pupils of polykleitos.pliny the elder, naturalis historia xxxiv. 8. s. 19 pausanias mentions an artist of the same name, a native of sicyon, and father of the sculptor cantharus.pausanias, description of greece vi. 3. § 3 it cannot be satisfactorily settled whether these are the same, or different persons. pliny's account implies that he had the elder polykleitos in mind, in which case alexis could not have flourished later than olympiad 95 (400 bc), whereas eutychides, under whom cantharus studied, flourished about olympiad 120 (300 bc). if the two were identical, as german classicist friedrich thiersch thinks, we must suppose either that pliny made a mistake, and that alexis studied instead under polykleitos the younger, or else that eutychides, whose date is given by pliny, was not the artist under whom cantharus studied.friedrich thiersch, epochen der bild. kunst. p. 276 ==notes== ==references== *

a pair of briefs is a 1962 british legal comedy film directed by ralph thomas and starring michael craig, mary peach, brenda de banzie and james robertson justice. a new female barrister bonds with a male rebel in chambers, and together they try and piece together a case. ==plot== the "brief" of the title refers to the document which a solicitor in the uk court system writes to instruct a barrister who will plead the solicitor's case in court. unfortunately barristers tony stevens and frances pilbright, as juniors, receive nothing but routine briefs concerning sewers. when a juicy brief concerning a writ for "restitution of conjugal rights" appears, they take opposite sides in the case. pilbright works fiercely for her client, a woman whose marriage was disrupted by world war ii. stevens advocates for the other side, a man who denies that he was ever married to the plaintiff, although all records have been destroyed during bombing raids. for her part, the woman claims that her husband left her after she temporarily lost her memory. the two barristers squabble in court, inevitably becoming attracted to each other in the process. pilbright, about to lose the case, makes a furious declaration in which she declares "the law is an ass!".a quote from oliver twist by charles dickens stevens, by this time, has more sympathy for her and joins her in this. in their zeal, they offend the presiding judge, justice haddon. taking them aside, he privately informs them that the suit is intended to fail, as the woman has married a millionaire and wants to remove any grounds for her previous husband to blackmail her, so their efforts were for nothing. by this time, however, the two barristers are in love. ==cast== * michael craig as tony stevens * mary peach as frances pilbright * brenda de banzie as gladys worthing * james robertson justice as mr. justice haddon * roland culver as sir john pilbright * liz fraser as gloria hoskins * ron moody as sidney pudney * jameson clark as george lockwood * charles heslop as peebles * bill kerr as victor (club owner) * nicholas phipps as sutcliffe * joan sims as gale tornado * john standing as hubert sha

Charles_E._Moore

charles e. moore (1894–1953) was an american industrialist who is best known for his contribution to the maritime shipbuilding industry during world war ii. ==early life and career== charles e. moore ii, was born in san bernardino, california, to a canadian immigrant who established the jewellery firm of moore & lewis. at the age of fourteen moore entered the workforce with only an eighth grade education. he went to work for the santa fe railroad as a machinist. at age 18, he became a “boomer”, the machinist’s name for a drifter. he travelled all over the u.s. and mexico until the age of 21, at which time he set his sights on working at a machine tool company. as legend has it, moore’s ambitions were thwarted by the owner who told him that he didn’t have the education to succeed."big dams and other dreams, the six companies story" by donald e wolf p98,99,1996, university of oaklahoma press, isbn 0-8061-2853-4 “i was horribly insulted” he later said, “but then i calmed down and realized that he was right.” so moore immediately enrolled in high school as a 6-foot-6-inch, 285-lb freshman and finished four years' work in one."the iron men of hendy" by george f. gayer, p15 he later served as a lieutenant in the coastal artillery during world war i. after the war, moore again applied to work at the machine tool company. years later, after working his way up the ranks, moore bought the company outright in 1927, renaming it: “the moore machinery company”.moore machinery ==world war ii== moore ascribed to “a fundamental policy of never selling a machine that we wouldn’t take back if the customer didn’t like it”.the iron men of hendy p 15, george gayer, 1985 it was this policy that eventually led to moore's purchase of the joshua hendy iron works in sunnyvale, california. he paid a visit to

Private_healthcare

private healthcare or private medicine is healthcare and medicine provided by entities other than the government. the term is generally used more in europe and other countries which have publicly funded health care, to differentiate the arrangement from systems where private healthcare is the norm. ethical issues relating to private healthcare primarily concerns the argument that the seriously ill be entitled to spend money on saving their lives. on the other hand, private healthcare can sometimes be more efficient than public sector provision. private operators may be more innovative in areas such as telemedicine. due to the profit motive, they can be more productive. public healthcare tends to be limited by the amount of tax that individuals are willing to pay. some would argue that private healthcare needs to be more carefully regulated to ensure that it achieves standards set by the state, predominantly regarding safety, value, and efficiency. ==forms of private healthcare in europe== ===charging patients or private insurers for work=== europeans in all countries are willing to pay a charge for some private healthcare, whether to avoid long queues, to access cosmetic surgery, or to avoid the perceived risk of infection in public-sector hospitals. this is not a small market. in finland it is estimated that it is worth some €700m a year. in greece, half the income of private hospitals is from one-off payments from patients. maternity is a particularly large private market, as it is the demand for fertility both at home and abroad, where more than 18% of medical internet based searches are related to infertility conditions and treatment. [2] healthcare tourism is also thriving within the eu, in which patients (mainly from the uk) travel to eastern europe for low-cost dental work. the particularly wealthy russians and saudi arabians tend to go to private hospitals in switzerland or germany. as most europeans have access to public sector provision either through their mandatory social insurance fund or through taxes, private healthcare insurance remains a relatively small market, with levels typically in the range of 2%-8% of the population. many consumers prefer to pay single fees as and when necessary. in addition, any occupational healthcare paid for by employers renders private healthcare insurance unnecessary. nonetheless, around 10% of germans have some form of private healthcare insurance which enables them to experience a slightly higher level of comfort during hospital stays. the most notable development in this area has been the netherlands, which in 2005 moved to a system whereby all citizens are forced to take out private healthcare insurance rather than social insurance. this is being closely monitored by many european countries. ===occupational healthcare=== in many european countries with a state-run nationa

Only_Monk

only monk is the third album by steve lacy to be released on the italian soul note label (following two releases on the related black saint label). it features solo performances of nine tunes written by thelonious monk by lacy. it is the second solo album composed totally of monk's compositions recorded by lacy following eronel (1979) and follows a tradition established on lacy's second album reflections (1958) and epistrophy (1969). ==reception== the allmusic review by scott yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "steve lacy has long been one of the foremost interpreters of pianist thelonious monk's music. this set is a solo soprano saxophone recital in which lacy digs into nine of monk's compositions. most of the interpretations are quite concise, with all but the seven-minute "work" clocking in at under six minutes. as usual, lacy shows great respect for the melodies, and his improvisations are built off of the themes rather than just the chord changes. the sparse setting allows the soprano master to utilize space effectively and to take his time. the overall results, which are certainly for selective tastes, are often fascinating.".yanow, s. allmusic review accessed june 25, 2011 ==track listing== # "evidence" – 3:42 # "humph" – 3:29 # "eronel" – 4:38 # "pannonica" – 5:48 # "little rootie-tootie" – 4:23 # "misterioso" – 5:49 # "work" – 7:16 # "light blue" – 4:18 # "who knows?" – 5:07 :all compositions by thelonious monk :*recorded at barigozzi studio, milan, italy on july 29–31, 1985 ==personnel== *steve lacy – soprano saxophone == references ==

Paris_France_(novel)

paris france is a memoir written by gertrude stein and published in 1940 on the day that paris fell to germany during world war ii.gertrude stein bibliographywhittier-ferguson, john. the liberation of gertrude stein:war and writing, pg. 405-428 the book blends stein's childhood memories with a commentary on french people and culture. ==plot summary== paris france is a memoir written in a “stream of consciousness” style. it is interpreted as gertrude stein’s personal view of france as a country, and the french people. she observes the french eating, drinking, crossing the street, and carrying out their day in no other way that deviates from their "french-ness". the word "french" quickly becomes a state of being or state of existence. a noun and an adjective. throughout the novel, the idea of being french in france is communicated to the reader in a raw, confident, matter of fact way. because of this, some critics believe the novel was not meant to be written as a completely accurate view of the french culture. stein refers often to fashion, autonomy, logic, tradition and civilization as crucial parts of the french state of being, any straying of which would be straying from being french, regardless of actual nationality. stein places the state of france within the context of past wars and the possible impending war and the war’s effect on the “frenchness” of the french, as well as the ideal/real french reaction to war. stein nonchalantly recalls anecdotes she deems relevant to the topic at hand, each bringing reference to other anecdotal stories having a purpose and place within the progression of the novel. stein freely follows the tangents of thoughts and life stories (or stories from others’ lives) but always returns to the driving purpose of the novel, identifying the french qualities and paying homage to england and france. ==literary style== among her meditations on french character and “civilisation,” gertrude stein’s paris france (1940) includes a quick dismissal of the “sur-realist crowd”: that was really the trouble with the sur-realist crowd, they missed their moment of becoming civilized, they used their revolt, not as a private but as a public thing, they wanted publicity not civilisation, and so really they never succeeded in being peaceful and exciting. gertrude stein is considered to be an avant-garde of surrealism, so this statement may seem contradictory. but stein employs two literary styles in order to make this claim and stay within the sur-realist crowd. this first style, surrealism, is a style of art and literature developed principally in the 20th century, stressing the subconscious or nonrational significance of imagery arrived at by automatism or the exploitation of chance e

the "schlesinger doctrine" is the name, given by the press, to a major re-alignment of united states nuclear strike policy that was announced in january 1974 by the us secretary of defense, james schlesinger. it outlined a broad selection of counterforce options against a wide variety of potential enemy actions, a major change from earlier siop policies of the kennedy and johnson eras that focussed on mutually assured destruction and typically included only one or two "all out" plans of action that used the entire u.s nuclear arsenal in a single strike. a key element of the new plans were a variety of limited strikes solely against enemy military targets while ensuring the survivability of the u.s. second-strike capability, which was intended to leave an opening for a negotiated settlement. ==background== ===wargasm=== the first coordinated nuclear attack policy in the united states was codified as siop-62 at the prompting of the science advisor in the eisenhower administration, george kistiakowsky. prior to siop-62, each of the u.s.'s military branches had drawn up their own target lists and action plans, which led to a wide variety of overkill situations and the possibility of blue-on-blue fire. after kistiakowsky reported on the problems this caused, eisenhower took nuclear planning away from the individual branches, centralized it, and gave it to rand for extensive oversight. however, the plan that developed was still based on the same basic concept of an all-out war, or what herman kahn referred to as a "wargasm".henry sokolski (ed), "getting mad: nuclear mutual assured destruction, its origins and practice", introduction by henry s. rowen, strategic studies institute, november 2004 siop-62 called for a single coordinated attack that used up all of the u.s.'s arsenal on a wide variety of targets in the soviet union and china. concerns about the inflexibility of the plan were expressed early and often; u.s. marine commandant david shoup noted that an attack by the soviets would result in a retaliation that included china whether or not they were involved, and observed that "any plan that kills millions of chinese when it isn't even their war is not a good plan. this is not the american way." ===flexible response=== in the late 1950s a number of parties
