Summary

"The Learned Women" by Molière
Two young people, Henriette and Clitandre, are in love, but in order to marry, they must overcome an obstacle: the attitude of Henriette's family. Her sensible father and uncle are in favour of the marriage; but unfortunately her father is under the thumb of his wife, Philaminte. And Philaminte, supported by Henriette's aunt and sister, wishes her to marry Trissotin, a "scholar" and mediocre poet with lofty aspirations, who has these three women completely in his thrall. For these three ladies are "learned"; their obsession in life is learning and culture of the most pretentious kind, and Trissotin is their special protégé and the fixture of their literary salon.

    A Guide to Executing Film Content is a concise roadmap for advertisers, demonstrating how to navigate the complexities of managing and collaborating with external creative partners.  Advertisers use creative content to sell products or services.  Creative film content (moving imagery) can reach consumers across multiple media platforms, including but not limited to television, the internet, in-store, or on mobile devices.  Creative content starts with an idea brought to life through the film production process, which consists of guiding principles centered on execution by way of specific tasks and actions.  The process of executing creative content is often face-paced, has it ups and downs, and even the best-laid plans can go awry.  Knowing how to navigate the process increases the changes for success.

    Andrew Hacker's 2012 New York Times op-ed questioning the requirement of advanced mathematics in our schools instantly became one of the paper's most widely circulated articles. Why, he wondered, do we inflict a full menu of mathematics on all young Americans, regardless of their interests or aptitudes?The Math Myth expands Hacker's scrutiny of many widely held assumptions, like the notions that mathematics broadens our minds and that the entire Common Core syllabus should be required of every student. He worries that a frenzied emphasis on STEM is diverting attention from other pursuits and subverting the spirit of the country.In fact, Hacker honors mathematics as a calling (he has been a professor of mathematics) and extols its glories and its goals. Yet he shows how mandating it for everyone prevents other talents from being developed and acts as an irrational barrier to graduation and careers. He proposes alternatives, including teaching facility with figures, quantitative reasoning, and understanding statistics.
