14 all exuberance and saucy humor; 15 the first variation in a minor key striving but only partly succeeding to lift itself from the gloom Variation 16 banished such thoughts and re-launched the work with a grand French overture stately and almost arrogant in its ripping scales and fugato finish and in the whirligig triplets of Variation 20 there was Variation 18’s serene canon and the bell-like notes and crystalline play of voices in Variation 19 and falling thirds in 23 mocked the whole enterprise with gales of laughter this jolly crew seemed to dance off into the distance to a graceful gigue Nicknamed the “Passion” variation for its agonized chromaticism and dissonant harmonic cross-relations (pun intended) the music meditated at length on sin and death the pianist firmly sustaining its vocal line and adagio momentum The riposte to that was the upbeat sarabande of Variation 26 surrounded by a swarm of light and fast triplets The closing variations left lightness behind building up a blaze of trills and rocket-powered arpeggios culminating in a Quodlibet that was not the usual genial entertainment but a triumphal march straight out of Die Meistersinger a pianissimo echo dwindling in the distance to close the piece give Yunchan Lim credit for a daring conception of the Goldbergs’ dramatic arc we will have decades to listen to him rethink and refine it Carnegie Hall presents Emanuel Ax performing works by Beethoven, Corigliano and Robert Schumann, 8 p.m. Thursday. carnegiehall.org Posted Apr 26, 2025 at 5:01 pm by Paul Henry I am reminded of a comment attributed to S Richter to the effect that one should not question the performances of a master It seems that Yunchan Lim at age 21 is already being accorded that deference and having heard most of his Van Cliburn performances His talent is most remarkable–seemingly effortless virtuosity coupled with much study and a poetic soul Posted Apr 27, 2025 at 7:25 pm by Sue Shapiro For a change I completely agree with this review I found the performance absolutely stunning and while at times I shook my head at his tempi It ultimately made sense and was convincing I look forward to hearing how his interpretation changes over time it was clear Friday night that Lin is one of the great pianists of our time Posted Apr 27, 2025 at 8:06 pm by Toriepark It’s ironic how Glenn Gould couldn’t stand Chopin’s music Little did he know the next generation pianist will play his beloved Goldberg in Chopin Style XHTML: You can use these tags: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <s> <strike> <strong>  Subscribe via RSS Thrift stores offer affordable and unique clothing items If you were just as likely to follow Hannah Ferguson’s Cheek Media  for political analysis..

Recognizing consequence neglect could change decision-making at all levels, from everyday choices to national policy. “When people are making policy, it is not natural to think of the consequences because you're focused on the problem that you're trying to solve, not the other things that are going on,” he explained. “This research matters because it'll help us develop better policies with fewer side effects or negative consequences.”  The researchers said consequence neglect can happen to anyone — team leaders, policymakers, teachers, parents, students and business owners, to name a few. They wanted to see what happened when people were asked to take time to specifically think about repercussions.  Participants in their study first rated the effectiveness of proposed solutions to six everyday problems (e.g., curbing excessive college drinking) using a Likert scale. Next, they generated their own solution to a seventh problem, office supply theft, and rated its effectiveness. Finally, participants did a “consequence generation task,” listing two positive and two negative consequences for each policy, including their own, and re-evaluated all seven solutions. “Having participants explicitly sit down and think of those consequences, regardless of whether they were the creators of the policy, really made them think differently. People are capable of thinking of the consequences, but without being prompted to, oftentimes, they simply never try and those consequences go neglected,” he said.  For example, when participants thought of potential negative consequences to a policy that completely banned alcohol on campus, they realized that more students might drive off campus to drink, putting them at additional risk.  The researchers have identified consequence neglect as one driver of predictable surprises, events that can catch people off guard, even though they could have seen them coming.  “There are some psychological mechanisms at play with predictable surprises, like climate change,” Rodriguez said. “Our research shows that consequence neglect is one reason why they happen.”  Oppenheimer said there are actions policymakers and team leaders can take every day to prevent unintended results, like taking a few minutes to do the consequence generation task. Even something like hiring an employee who likes to play the devil’s advocate can be beneficial.  “It often isn’t very hard to think of preventable consequences of your actions, but most of the time we aren’t in the habit of doing so, because that’s not what we’re trying to do — we’re too focused on the problem we’re trying to solve to think about what the side effects of the solution will be. But a devil’s advocate’s job is to poke holes in the plan, and if that’s what we’re trying to do, we often have no trouble identifying undesirable outcomes that are easy to forestall.” Foreseeable consequences might come to mind when watching the news, Oppenheimer and Rodriguez said. They point to situations like Brexit, discussions about privatizing the United States Postal Service and withdrawing funds from the United States Agency for International Development as examples.  But Oppenheimer said it’s important to remember that it’s a cognitive bias that affects everyone.  “What we are demonstrating is a human phenomenon, not a liberal phenomenon, not a conservative phenomenon. Either side will be able to find countless examples of how the other side screwed up by not considering the consequences,” he said. “For anyone, taking time to consider what will happen would lead to markedly better policy being made and implemented, and I think the world would be better for that.”  Mark Carnegie is working with Circle Internet Financial the operator of a major cryptocurrency linked to the value of the US dollar to roll out its digital currency into Australia – a move he says could help superannuation funds avoid big bank fees The stockbroker-turned-crypto evangelist’s MHC Digital Group will work with Circle to distribute the USD Coin which has a market capitalisation of $US36 billion ($52 billion) which is considering listing in US at a valuation of around $US5 billion has a similar deal in Japan as it pushes into the region A locomotive engineer abandoned his train and jumped into a freezing river making repeated attempts to save a drowning man A schoolboy swam into Lake Erie to push two younger boys in a drifting raft to shore onto a motorcycle racetrack and after a runaway vehicle with young children inside They're among the 12 Erie residents who have received Carnegie Medals for heroism since the medals were first presented in 1904 They are awarded by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission to honor those who risk death or serious injury while saving or attempting to save the lives of others The majority of Erie's heroes rushed into the water to save others at risk of drowning Gooley stopped his locomotive and jumped into the Beaver River near New Brighton Gooley twice was forced to the bank by cramps and though others tried to stop him then swam to an approaching boat and helped pull the victim from the water Holland swam from a Lake Erie beach to 19-year-old Hazel Murray who was shouting for help 60 feet from shore The frantic woman clutched the neck of Holland's bathing costume and pulled him underwater He got his head above water a few times until two other swimmers got Murray to shore Bickerstaff swam 100 feet into Lake Erie from Lawrence Park to reach a 13-year-old boy who had swum out to retrieve his hat Bickerstaff swam back until he could wade and drag the boy A man finally met them and carried the boy to shore.Ervin W When a small raft drifted into Lake Erie off Lawrence Park two 13-year-old boys aboard were unable to paddle toward shore with their hands planning to climb aboard and push the raft But the raft nearly capsized when he tried to board and the pole was too short Allen dived into the water when a deckhand trying to swing by rope from their ship to a dock in Duluth The man was dazed and in danger of drowning or being crushed by the ship Allen fastened a lowered rope around the man and climbed behind as he was hauled on board.Vehicle rescuesThree more heroes braved a moving car speeding motorcycles and even an advancing train Orlemanski grappled with a man who walked onto the tracks in front of an approaching passenger train and then resisted help The man who had walked onto the track died.W When a motorcycle racer crashed into a fence and was thrown onto a Lawrence Park track The motorcyclist was able to steer between him and the downed racer both of whom were pulled to safety by others 4 and 11 screamed in the front seat of a station wagon moving backward down a hill grabbed the steering wheel through the open window jumped inside and applied the brakes as the car approached another parked nearby The 4-year-old had been climbing out the window and might have been crushed between the cars.Feats of fire and iceOthers braved flames or a hole in the ice on Presque Isle Bay to save lives Russian cold cuts and bullfrog: The street where you can find – and eat – almost any delicacyStart at one end of a street you think you know and take a virtual walk with restaurant reviewer Dani Valent Here’s Good Food’s essential guide to eating and drinking on Koornang Road Remove items from your saved list to add more It was a different story in 1983 when strip stayer Lizzy’s Chocolates first opened. “It was a daytime shopping place,” says Ingrid Nichols, who runs the family store. “These days, it’s thriving in the evenings too.” Carnegie is 12km south-east of the city, with its main strip running south from Dandenong Road for about 700 metres. The first inhabitants of the area were the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. In the 1850s, settler William Murray Ross built a sugar beet processing factory here (never used) and a private railway from Elsternwick (used once). With remarkable hubris, Ross sold “Rosstown” land parcels for market-gardens while descending into debt and disgrace. SeriesThe essential Good Food guide to Melbourne’s best Eat StreetsThe Rosstown name persists in the landmark corner pub but the area was renamed Carnegie in 1908 possibly as an attempt to elicit a donation from American industrialist Andrew Carnegie Pennsylvania but no such philanthropy ensued here Key moments for the suburb include the arrival of post-World War II Jewish immigrants who came from Czechoslovakia and opened a clothing store the merging of the local tech institute with Monash University to form its thriving Caulfield campus was a shift that continues to bring students to the neighbourhood Koornang Road was the first place Melbourne came to eat Korean food: I remember learning how to say bibimbap at pioneering Kimchi Grandma and the first Gami Korean fried chicken store

University a new designation that recognizes institutional work prioritizing student success before The “Opportunity Colleges and Universities – Higher Access Higher Earnings” recognition is part of classification updates intended to measure the extent to which institutions provide students access and highlight institutions that can serve as a model for studying how campuses can foster student success Kate's is one of eight Minnesota institutions to fall under the Higher Access Kate’s commitment to making a life-changing education accessible to all and to providing our students with opportunities that will prepare them to lead and make an impact,” said Marcheta P This new classification examines the extent to which institutions foster opportunities for student success The methodology measures whether institutions are enrolling students reflective of the communities they serve and how graduates’ earnings compare to peers in their area 479 institutions have been identified as Opportunity Colleges and Universities colleges and universities that are in the Student Access and Earnings Classification The methodology takes into account institutions’ enrollment of Pell Grant recipients and students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups compared to a similar population in their area Kate’s received a Pell Grant and 34.4% identified as belonging to an underrepresented minority (American Indian/Alaska Native The classification is given by the American Council on Education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The American Council on Education works to support a diverse and dynamic higher education sector The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching similarly works for transformation in the education sector Its history includes the establishment of TIAA-CREF and the creation of the Education Testing Service and the Carnegie Classifications for Higher Education The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education is the leading framework for recognizing and describing institutional diversity in U.S The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education developed the classification in 1973 to support its program of research and policy analysis and 2025 to reflect changes among colleges and universities © 2025 St. Catherine University soared across the corporate sky in the ’70s and ’80s but was thwarted in his attempt to secure full Australian local control of mining giant CRA a business giant who spent 14 years at the top but failed in his quest to peel CRA away from its UK parent Carnegie exerted significant influence over Australian mining business and politics in the ’70s and ’80s He was a trendsetter who ultimately crashed due to CRA’s lower profit margins and the determination of its UK corporate masters to reassert control OHIO is among the fewer than two dozen R1 universities in the country to earn Carnegie’s new “Opportunity College and University” designation and among only 40 large doctoral institutions defined as “professions-focused.” Ohio University has been named one of just 21 R1 research institutions in the country — and the only R1 university in the state of Ohio — to be designated as an Opportunity College and University in the latest Carnegie Classifications affirming OHIO’s national leadership in delivering a high-value education that leads to lifelong success.  “This recognition affirms the values that guide us — a deep commitment to both access and excellence,” said President Lori Stewart Gonzalez “As an R1 institution and an Opportunity College Ohio University is creating pathways for more students to succeed and to serve meaningfully in the communities where they live The Opportunity College and University designation is part of the new Student Access and Earnings Classification developed by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the American Council on Education It identifies colleges and universities that successfully enroll Pell-eligible and underrepresented students and whose graduates outperform earnings expectations when compared to peers in their region The Carnegie R1 designation is reserved for universities that meet Carnegie’s highest thresholds for research productivity and doctoral degree conferrals Only 187 of the nearly 4,000 institutions classified by Carnegie earned this status.  As an R1 institution and an Opportunity College A deeper look into the newest Carnegie Classifications reveals that Ohio University is also one of only 40 institutions in the country to be designated as “professions-focused” among large universities that offer undergraduate only eight — including OHIO — are also classified by Carnegie as an Opportunity College and University placing OHIO among a small group of universities in the nation and once again the only university in Ohio with a broad portfolio of degrees that offer career-ready professions-focused academic opportunities and deliver the highest return on a student’s educational investment.  Carnegie’s “professions-focused” classification recognizes universities for which the majority of degrees awarded are in fields that are classified as pre-professional or career-aligned Ohio University’s vision is to deliver the most valuable university education in Ohio, and this latest recognition from Carnegie, combined with our long-held leadership position as the best value public University in the state demonstrates our commitment to that vision We promise price transparency, affordability and value through programs like our OHIO Guarantee+ tuition and graduation guarantee, our President’s Opportunity Promise Award for qualifying students in Southeast Ohio, and our competitive scholarship programs And, we’re equally committed to successful outcomes for our students by delivering high-quality career-aligned degrees and ensuring students have access to experiences that prepare them for their next step.

of Perry Carnegie Clean Energy has secured a bond facility agreement with Export Finance Australia (EFA) to support the ACHIEVE Program’s CETO wave energy technology deployment at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in the Basque Country The agreement is said to see EFA provide advanced payment guarantee bonds to access grant funding for the ACHIEVE Program before project completion this funding is part of the AGUAMARINA and ACHIEVE+ projects supported by the Spanish Government and the Basque Government’s Ente Vasco de la Energia The €2.4 million bond facility was structured to bolster cash flow during the construction “It is exciting to have Export Finance Australia on board and standing behind our CETO wave energy technology on its first European deployment The upcoming deployment in the Basque Country will allow us to prove CETO’s scaled electricity generation capacity and operational efficiency in Europe’s rapidly growing addressable market for ocean energy,” said Jonathan Fievez “We’ve worked closely with EFA to develop this Bond Facility which enables us to access beneficial advanced payment terms with the Spanish Government and Basque Energy Agency which otherwise would be challenging for small technology developers like us EFA has undertaken extensive due diligence and their decision to provide the bond facility shows confidence in our technology and our capability to deliver the ACHIEVE Programme We are grateful for the support and confidence from Export Finance Australia.” Carnegie outlined key terms of the agreement and no bond cash security requirement at commencement EFA has also secured general security over Carnegie and its subsidiaries In addition to a $2.5 million loan from Ballamena Pty Ltd ATF Ellan Finance Unit Trust the EFA bond facility will enable Carnegie to navigate cash flow challenges typically associated with advanced payment guarantees Carnegie’s ACHIEVE Program marks the Australian company’s first European deployment of its CETO wave energy technology This milestone is expected to position Carnegie for growth in Europe’s emerging ocean energy market Carnegie is also progressing other initiatives to validate and commercialize its technology. In September, the company contracted Lloyd’s Register to begin certification for CETO advancing the classification process for its wave energy solution Additionally, Carnegie’s subsidiary, CETO Wave Energy Ireland (CWEI), recently secured a progress payment of €251,100 under the EuropeWave Phase 3 contract The company also extended its collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) in November for two more years focusing on integrating AI-driven enhancements into CETO’s wave energy technology the Australian company extended collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) by two

national recognition in the newly updated 2025 Carnegie Classifications Released April 24 by the Carnegie Foundation and American Council on Education the new classifications reflect a multi-year effort to create a more relevant and complete view of higher education institutions across the country The redesign aims to better inform students researchers and funders by focusing on what colleges and universities actually do and whom they serve UH Mānoa was designated “Mixed Undergraduate/Graduate-Doctorate Large,” placing it among only 3% of institutions nationwide with broad academic programs and student populations over 20,000 Medium Earnings” rating for enrolling underrepresented students and supporting moderate post-graduation income levels The recognition follows UH Mānoa’s February reaffirmation as an “R1: Very High Research Activity” university based on more than $313 million in research expenditures and 166 research doctorates awarded “These updated classifications do more than rank us in relation to our peers—they offer a more complete picture of who we are and who we serve,” said UH Mānoa Provost Michael Bruno UH West Oʻahu was designated as “Professions-focused Baccalaureate Medium,” meaning that the majority of degrees are awarded in fields that are classified as pre-professional or career-aligned UH Hilo received the “Special Focus: Arts and Sciences” classification recognizing its strength in awarding degrees in the humanities It also earned the same access and earnings rating as Mānoa and West Oʻahu Honolulu Community College was recognized as “Special Focus: Applied and Career Studies” for its hands-on Kapiʻolani CC and Leeward CC were designated “Mixed Associate Medium,” while UH Maui College and Windward CC were labeled “Mixed Associate Small.” Mixed Associate Medium and Mixed Associate Small institutions are colleges where fewer than 50% of degrees are awarded in any one field and are further differentiated by size with medium enrolling between 4,000 and 20,000 total students and small enrolling between 500 and 4,000 reflecting the varied sizes of institutions offering a broad range of associate-level degrees Former Tigers

In his influential book The Gospel of Wealth Carnegie writes: “The result of my own study of the question What is the best gift which can be given to a community is that a free library occupies the first place provided the community will accept and maintain it as a public institution as much a part of the city property as its public schools Carnegie’s vision continues to guide the efforts of Carnegie Corporation of New York one of the largest philanthropic funders of libraries from the early construction of buildings to helping establish the endowment of the American Library Association funding the nation’s first graduate library school and supporting English language and civic programs Andrew Carnegie and his family immigrated from Scotland to Allegheny (now Pittsburgh) Carnegie often recalled the life-changing experience of having access to the private library of Colonel James Anderson who offered to lend books to workers every Saturday “He only had about 400 volumes in his library and I shall never forget the enjoyment and the instruction I gained from them when I was too poor to buy books myself,” Carnegie told the New York Times in 1899 “Is it any wonder that I decided then and there that if ever I had any surplus wealth I would use it in lending books to others?” Carnegie — and later his foundation — gave some $56 million to build 2,509 public libraries worldwide Carnegie learned that his father had been among three weavers in Dunfermline who contributed their personal collections of books to the town's first free public library in 1808 “I have never heard of a lineage for which I would exchange that of the library-founding weaver,” said Carnegie “He founded the first library in Dunfermline and his son was privileged to found the last.” Whatever agencies for good may rise or fall in the future it seems certain that the Free Library is destined to stand and become a never-ceasing foundation of good to all the inhabitants In 1901, Andrew Carnegie made a record-breaking library gift of $5.2 million to the New York Public Library to build 65 new branches “at one stroke,” creating the largest free public library system in the country Carnegie’s gift helped guarantee that every New Yorker — among them America’s newest arrivals — could have access to knowledge and opportunity through a free public library in their neighborhood It was an idea that dated to at least 1895 when Carnegie learned of the New York Public Library's plan to occupy a building in the middle of Manhattan that would rival the great libraries of Europe He expressed his concerns in a letter to the New York Sun published on March 7 in which he argued that the new central library must be connected to the several already existing branch (neighborhood) library systems in the city thereby creating a library system that truly was “for the people” and not for the rarefied few “A great central public library without branch libraries in a large city resembles a fishing sloop without small boats,” wrote Carnegie “The name ‘Public Library’ will be a misnomer unless the trustees broaden their scheme and connect the central library with these branches.” the philanthropic foundation that Andrew Carnegie established and led from its establishment in 1911 until his death in 1919 gave its final grants for library buildings in 1917 due to a shortage of materials and workers during the First World War Carnegie continued to grant some funds to library development but focused primarily on appraisal and planning concluded that many of them were not providing good service because they lacked trained librarians an economics professor at Cornell University at the time (he later cofounded The New School in New York and served as its first director) recommended that the foundation invest in the preparation of librarians’ training as well as the establishment of central services for book selection Carnegie Corporation of New York gave $2,000,000 to endow the American Library Association which Andrew Carnegie previously had endowed with a $100,000 gift in 1902 10-year program that aimed to strengthen the library profession by supporting the activities of the association and by improving training opportunities Drawing from the recommendations of librarian Charles C a highly influential study commissioned by the foundation and published in 1923 the program also included endowment funds for existing library schools and the establishment of the first school for graduate training in librarianship — the University of Chicago Graduate Library School which launched in 1926 with $1,385,000 in Carnegie grants and offered the nation’s first doctorate in library science Another major focus of the program comprised grants to colleges and universities for the development of their libraries Carnegie Libraries hold a special place in American history and in the hearts of generations of Americans A definitive study of Andrew Carnegie's library program was published in 1963 by Carnegie Corporation of New York its historical data is available through the Carnegie Libraries Mapping Project — an interactive map that captures Carnegie’s unprecedented philanthropic achievement which brought hundreds of libraries to American communities across the country Its archives include the personal papers of James Baldwin and the “lost” chapter of The Autobiography of Malcolm X To mark the centennial of Andrew Carnegie’s gifts to establish public libraries across the United States, the foundation awarded $15 million in commemorative grants to 25 national libraries in 1999 were used to revitalize services and collections Among the libraries that received grants were the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library Beginning in 2004, Carnegie Corporation of New York invested more than $10 million to revitalize South Africa’s public library system and to strengthen libraries in selected universities in Uganda model public libraries have been created in the South African cities of Cape Town Government investment increased and services for patrons expanded significantly in these cities while university libraries also upgraded their technology with Carnegie support These major investments were a continuation of Andrew Carnegie's funding of public library buildings in South Africa since 1911 With a $489,000 grant, Carnegie Corporation of New York established the American Library Association's I Love My Librarian Award in 2008 to recognize and celebrate the contributions that librarians make to their communities the initiative has honored 10 exceptional librarians who have been nominated by thousands of patrons in communities across the country A grant of $2,000,0000 to the Library of Congress in 2009, followed by another $2,000,000 grant three years later, helped to create the World Digital Library, an international collaboration of more than 160 libraries from 75 countries that provide virtual access to cultural heritage materials from all regions of the world The grants continued the foundation’s longstanding support of the Library of Congress starting with a grant in 1927 that endowed its chair in fine arts and a grant that established its Africana unit in 1959 Carnegie Corporation of New York gave a $5,000,000 grant in 2011 to New York City’s three public library systems — the New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library — to promote literacy and the improvement of children’s library services The Corporation also supported the New York Public Library’s efforts to digitize over 200,000 unique and rare audio and moving image materials In 2024, Dame Louise Richardson, president of Carnegie Corporation of New York, announced renewed support for libraries and their essential role in communities and Brooklyn public library systems expanded adult language and workforce development services as well as teen civics and college access programs The foundation also made a $500,000 grant to the Library of Congress to reimagine public engagement with historical materials and announced a $5 million grant initiative to support public libraries nationwide seeking to deliver services to under-resourced communities The grants aim to strengthen the role of libraries as trusted community institutions as part of the foundation’s broader commitment to reducing political polarization Carnegie has been one of the largest philanthropic funders of libraries, from the early construction of community buildings to helping establish the endowment of the American Library Association, funding the nation’s first graduate library school, and digitizing collections around the world.
