Annually, the Operations Committee (OpCo) of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) presents a two-day meeting in Washington, DC, to advise participants in the PCC programs of what they need to know to work cooperatively with all the other catalogers in the program. This year, the in-person meeting was replaced by several online sessions, but the purpose was the same. This Listen and Learn session is intended to update Atla participants in the NACO, CONSER, or SACO funnels with the information that was presented at OpCo, so that their work in the Atla funnels will adhere to the current practices in the PCC programs. The session also presents news of changes coming in programs and tools that funnel participants use.

What happens in the aftermath of the introduction of a new status ranking? In this study, we exploit the unique empirical opportunity generated by the release of the first edition of the Michelin Guide for Washington, DC, in the fall of 2016. We build on prior work on rankings as insecurity-inducing devices by suggesting that newly awarded high-status actors modify their self-presentation attributes to fit with what they believe audiences expect from the elite. Our results show that, depending on their standing prior to Michelin’s entry, restaurants acted upon different attributes of their self-presentation. Restaurants with high prior standing emphasized attributes that channeled authenticity and exclusivity, which may imply that their Michelin designation triggered operational changes. Actors with low prior standing, on the other hand, acted on descriptive attributes that did not necessarily imply operational changes and could be easily manipulated to signal their belonging among the elite. We contribute to research on status and conformity by disentangling the sources and types of conformity behaviors that newly awarded high-status actors deploy.

Attitudes towards restraint in the management of the mentally ill during the late 19th century are discussed, based primarily on the writings of two doctors, one a British mental hospital superintendent, and the other an Australian psychiatrist of the time. The view-points expressed are noted to be on the whole very advanced for this period, and compare favourably with current practices in psychiatric hospital care. Some discussion follows on various forms of restraint and on mental hospital management in that era.

Similarities And Differences

Comparative analysis, especially in the field of religious studies, is widely recognized as among the most difficult of intellectual tasks. How does one do justice to the complexity of both subjects? How does one set the terms of the comparison in a way that accurately captures both similarities and differences? How does one place those similarities and differences in a broader context so that their significance comes to the fore? And how does one present both halves of the comparison in a way that will be equally accessible to readers presumed to be familiar with only one or the other? These challenges are still more formidable when the subjects being compared are “Jewish bioethics” and “Catholic bioethics,” each of which draws on a long ethical tradition, encompasses a wide range of views, and continues to evolve.

Our series of interviews with leading karstologists now turns to cave biologist. David Culver, an emeritus professor of environmental science at the American University (Washington DC, USA), talks about his relationship to karst and what subterranean biology has given to the geoscientific disciplines and what it has taken from them. His science approach is well reflected in the statement: “In the last few decades, I have done valuable little completely independent research, and collaboration with people with different skill groups has been critical”.

This chapter discusses the educational programme presented in Books 1, 2, and 10 of the Institutio, in connection with Quintilian’s view that rhetoric is a virtue and his pedagogical principles, which not only constitute the foundation of his review of the curricula of grammar and rhetoric, but also inform his discussion of rhetoric in the entire work. The Roman ideal of the perfect orator is central to Quintilian’s ideas on education, but these are nevertheless firmly rooted in reality, nourished by his own teaching experience and aimed at the practical goal of improving the education of the orator. Two important concerns of Quintilian about current practices are the pupil’s transition from the grammaticus to the rhetor, especially the relinquishing by rhetors of certain aspects of their duties, and school declamation. More generally, Quintilian voices indirect but unmistakable criticism of contemporary society and culture, for instance when he speaks about the decadent lifestyle in households or expresses moral judgements about effeminacy and licentiousness in epideictic performances. On the other hand, Quintilian is not a moralist or an unworldly idealist, but rather an inspired pedagogue and a retired orator with a passion for good oratory. His main audiences seem to be the grammatici and rhetors of Rome, to whom he presents clear educational principles and didactic advice, and trainee orators and young adult orators, to impress upon them the purposes of the orator and his art.

Rediscovery and redescription of the centipede Paracryptops inexpectus Chamberlin, 1914, with an account of the genus (Scolopendromorpha: Cryptopidae: Cryptopinae)

Paracryptops inexpectus Chamberlin, 1914, known only from the holotype that was discovered in a potted plant from Guyana during quarantine inspection in Washington, DC, USA, is redescribed and illustrated based in part on two newly discovered specimens from Dominica, Lesser Antilles. A generic account is also presented along with a brief literature review. The species is the only generic representative in the Western Hemisphere; the other four species occur in southern/southeast Asia and the East Indies, as depicted in a distribution map. This pattern suggests that the New World occurrences of P. inexpectus result from human introductions, and that it is really an Asian species. As representatives of Paracryptops Pocock, 1891, have twice been intercepted in quarantines, another was discovered under flower pots in a plant nursery, and five others were taken in urban environments where allochthonous species typically predominate, these centipedes seem particularly amenable to transport and introduction through human agency. With few anatomical distinctions between them, P. inexpectus may be a junior synonym of P. weberi Pocock, 1891.

Laws And Regulations

The complex, yet vague nature, of legislation being generated by lawmakers in Washington, DC requires that public administrators be afforded administrative discretion in carrying out their respective duties. It is no longer possible for policymakers to be fully informed regarding the multitude of variables that exist in the offshore fishing environment, nor is it possible to articulate that spectrum of variables in codified laws and regulations. The academic debate between controlling the exercise of administrative discretion on the one hand and extending the leash of judgment on the other has been around as long as the profession of public administration. In the case of the eleven-inch fish (the fish is one inch shy of being a legal catch), the public administrator on the scene of the infraction has a choice to make. The administrator can choose to overlook the incident, issue a warning, or issue a $100 notice of violation and seize the fish. I know which alternative I chose. The question is, which alternative would you choose?

Chapter 4 uses modern-day case studies and extensive fieldwork to depict the current situation for those undertaking the pilgrimage. It shows how the construction of the MCH brought about a modernization of transportation to the shrine and also a renaissance of the walking practice to Hinglaj. It demonstrates how the infrastructure that developed along with the MCH, easier access to water, and a reduced chance of becoming lost in the desert have led to a revitalization of walking patterns and to new interpretations of the concept of austerity (Skt. tapasyā). A case study of a group of Gujarati pilgrims from India shows the situation for Hinglaj devotees on the other side of the border whose path to the Goddess contrasts starkly with that of their Pakistani counterparts. The chapter also discusses how recent developments around Hinglaj have exposed a gap between the traditional discursive representations of the pilgrimage and current practices at the shrine.

Cherry Blossom

This morning I unintentionally stumbled across the annual Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington, DC. It was probaly little different than any other American public parade, full of decorated floats and oversized balloons interspersed between uniformed marching bands from high schools all over the country. What caught my attention was the ‘foreign’ element in the parade – three groups that represented Japan, land of the cherry blossom. Two of these groups were local martial arts associations: one representing the Ryuku Islands, the other, Okinawa. The men and women of both contingents, obviously multiethnic, were dressed alike in stereotypical Japanese martial arts costumes (complete with coloured headbands). Participants paused every few steps to demonstrate kicks and poses, then proceeded on to the sound of traditional Japanese music played through loudspeakers. The third group was the official Japanese delegation, flown over especially for the parade. I'm not sure what I expected – perhaps a float of graceful kimono-clad Japanese women waving cherry blossom branches to the ethereal sound of the shakuhachi. Instead, to my surprise our ears were assailed by a familiar John Philip Sousa march played with gusto by a Japanese high school band. The only difference between this band and its American counterparts was that the musicians did not wear unisex military uniforms: all wore fuchsia pink school blazers, with long white pants for the boys and short white skirts for the girls (Sarkissian 1994).
