Paul Tagliabue was a logical choice to succeed Pete Rozelle as Commissioner given his two decades as chief legal advisor to the league. It took fifty hours of debate by the search committee, four owners meetings, and eleven ballots to reach this logical decision. His first major achievement was coming to a labor settlement with Gene Upshaw and the NFLPA. Al Davis was instrumental in this process. This set the stage for the next round of television contracts netting $33M/team/year over the next four years and an expansion of network coverage and DirecTV. Then came expansion and relocation of franchises. Tagliabue moved to expand NFL involvement in public issues including moving the Super Bowl out of Arizona over the MLK Day controversy. Internal issues included the revenue sharing policies that were under threat by Jerry Jones and Dallas. The market was also expanded with the creation of NFL Properties led by Sara Levinson from MTV and a direct appeal to women fans. NFL Revenue increased significantly. Race continued to be a major issue. There was an increase in black quarterbacks, but no significant change in coaching and executive ranks. A Diversity Committee was created in 2002 and the Rooney Rule was adopted I 2004 with initial promising results but it was not sustained over the next 15 years. In March of 2004 Tagliabue announced his retirement amidst great praise for this time as Commissioner. The one issue that he failed to address was that of concussions and head injuries.

The beginnings of the Catholic Renaissance in the United States were closely linked to the experience of American Catholics in the First World War. As we saw in Chapter 3, mobilization of Catholic energies to meet the wartime crisis led to the creation of the National Catholic War Council. The NCWC’s success in coordinating Catholic participation in the war effort, and the recognition it gained as the representative agency of the church in matters of broad national interest persuaded Catholic leaders that it should be perpetuated after the war. That was accomplished in 1919, when the War Council was transformed into the National Catholic Welfare Council (later National Catholic Welfare Conference). The creation of a national headquarters and staff not only gave the church a more effective voice in public affairs, it also enhanced Catholic visibility and served notice that a new era of purposeful Catholic participation in American life was about to begin. These developments had a tonic effect on Catholic morale and reinforced the sense of emotional solidarity with, and responsibility to, the nation that had grown out of the shared experience of wartime mobilization. The earliest manifestations of the Catholic Revival in the United States emerged from this matrix and took the form of a new kind of Catholic Americanism. There were, of course, certain points of similarity between the Americanism of the war and postwar years and that of the 1890s. Both versions, for example, reflected intense patriotic feeling, and both urged Catholics to identify with, and participate in, American life. Moreover, Cardinal Gibbons, who presided over the creation of the War Council and its transformation into the permanent NCWC, constituted a living link between the two eras. Yet no real effort was made to portray the new Americanism as a continuation of the earlier version. Reticence on this point made good sense tactically, since in 1899 Pope Leo XIII had condemned the opinions that “some comprise under the head of Americanism.”

In the era of the digital economy, the task of developing approaches to project management, the subject area of which is at the intersection of IT and real production processes, becomes especially urgent. This clearly demonstrates the challenges of the construction industry, where today the tasks of complex development of territories, the construction of unique facilities and structures are being solved, all based on modern information technologies. In fact, we are talking about a new era in construction — the era of cyber-physical systems. All this predetermines the need to change the methodology of project management in this area. As a methodological basis of project management for the creation of cyber-physical systems in the design, construction and operation of construction sites, an integrated methodological solution is proposed, formed on the basis of the synthesis of methodologies existing in project management. A scheme for the formation of the project management system for the creation of cyber-physical systems is developed on the basis of the project management methodology, which includes elements of project management methodologies such as PMBOK, P2M, PRINCE2, Agile (SCRUM).

Статья посвящена исследованию картины «Ригден-Джапо — Владыка Шамбалы» (1927) из собрания Музея изобразительных искусств имени Г. Дзанабадзара в Улан-Баторе. Автор дает анализ исторических предпосылок создания произведения Н.К. Рерихом, известным исследователем Центральной Азии, русским художником и ученым, представляет идею Шамбалы и замысел картины, подробности преподнесения картины в дар правительству Монголии того времени. Также приведены результаты спектрального и химического анализа, что подтвердило подлинность картины и одновременно внесло вклад в создание базы данных об использовании красок художником. Идея картины носит символический характер и воплощает мечты и чаяния народов Монголии и всего буддийского мира о приходе новой эпохи Справедливости, Братства и Счастья народов. The article is devoted to the study of the painting “Rigden Jyepo — Messenger of Shambhala” (1927) from the collection of the Fine Arts G. Zanabazar Museum in Ulaanbaatar. The author analyzes the historical background of the creation of the work by N.K. Roerich, a famous researcher of Central Asia, a Russian artist and scientist, and also presents the idea of Shambhala and the idea of the painting, the details of presenting the painting as a gift to the government of Mongolia at that time. The results of spectral and chemical analysis of the canvas and paints confirmed the authenticity of the painting and at the same time contributed to the creation of a database on the use of paints by the artist. The idea of the painting is symbolic and embodies the dreams and aspirations of the peoples of Mongolia and the entire Buddhist world about the arrival of a new era of Justice, Brotherhood and Happiness of peoples.

The end of the 1948 war marked a new era across the Mashriq in which postcolonial actors from Israel to Iraq to Syria consolidated their gains through the creation of forms of state rule centered on violence, increasingly directed against internal enemies. Despite their mutual antagonism and their very different—indeed, actively oppositional—paths to nation-statehood, Israel, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon in many ways followed similar trajectories during the subsequent two decades: they all became ethnically and communally defined nations in which postcolonial administrations enforced boundaries of citizenship and political belonging through the deliberate deployment of state violence against particular communities—defined both ethnically and politically—within their borders. This institutionalization of violence at the heart of the postcolonial state unfolded in a context of continued British, French, and, increasingly, Soviet and American intervention in the economic and political life of the Mashriq.

This paper describes the definitions of e-discovery tools and reviews the existing literature on EBSCO discovery services, Worldcat Local, Summon, Ex Libris Primo, etc. It analyses them and the creation of cumulative indexes for searching the different types of databases like OPAC, publishers DBs, Open Access data and the different types of features available in each of the e-discovery tools. It also studied the library professionals' involvement and the user's satisfaction towards the usage of e-discovery tools. The study emphasized the assistance required for the users, particularly in relation to the need to evaluate information. Web-scale discovery creation by LIS professionals is an innovation in online searching of library collections. Many libraries are currently adopting discovery systems, but few have begun to explore and recognize the potential for a new era of instructional possibilities. The features are explained with the use of Worldcat, the EBSCO Discovery Services (EDS), Summon, VuFind and the benefits of other discovery tools such as Primo by library staff.

What gives consistency to Madame de Staël's thought from 1795 to 1800, and makes it interesting today, is her sense that a new era has begun, in which art, philosophy and politics alike will become vehicles of integration. Beyond the creation of republican constitutions, institutions or authorities, she wanted to create new habits of respect and obedience. She saw that social and political control in the democratic era meant the control of the minds and feelings of the population. This insight gives coherence to her diverse and unsystematic works: an essay and a book on politics, Réflexions sur la Paix Intérieure (1795) and Des Circonstances Actuelles qui Peuvent Terminer la Révolution … (1799); a treatise on happiness, De l'Influence des Passions sur le Bonheur … (1796); and an essay and major study on literature, Essai sur les Fictions (1795) and De la Littéture Considéréé dans ses Rapports avec les Institutions Sociales (2 volumes, 1800). The unifying element of all these works is her focus on social control.

This chapter discusses the emergence of a new era in gospel music during the period 1933–1939, as evidenced by the proliferation of new gospel songs. It first examines the growth of the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses and its presentation of music to promote racial pride and assimilation into the African American church community. It then considers the rise of religious radio in the early gospel era, focusing on the creation of radio shows that featured gospel choruses outside the worship service. It also looks at the American Decca Records Company and its religious recordings as part of the Decca 7000 Series, including those by Mahalia Jackson; Thomas A. Dorsey's presentation of the “Gospel Song Feast,” a collaboration between Pilgrim Gospel Chorus and First Church of Deliverance's voice choir, as his first attempt to move gospel from the altar to the auditorium and sell tickets; and First Church of Deliverance's introduction of the Hammond organ.
