	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.04.22
		Roman patronage is a lot like the elephant in the story of the five blind men: it is big and warm and moving, its smell is everywhere.
		The same comparison is true for Roman patronage: we know it is there, it looms large and even overpowering in the society we study and the literature we read, but we cannot easily relate the parts to the whole.
		Concentration on the parasite permits such otherwise disparate characters as Ennius, Lucilius' Naevius, Martial's Selius and Martial himself, Cicero's Naevius from pro Quinctio, and Philodemus to be analyzed under the same rubric.

	U.S. Catholic Bishops - Office of Film and Broadcasting
		The narrative's conventional melodrama is transformed by the grand scale of its spectacle, especially the chariot race, and by the stirring performances of its principals who manage to overcome the story's cliches and stereotypes.
		Directed by Roberto Rossellini from a script co-written with Federico Fellini, the movie's form is as simple and sincere as the subject of the narrative which relates a series of little incidents realistically, yet with an infectious sense of joy marvellously conveyed by an anonymous cast of monks from a Roman monastery.
		Japanese director Akira Kurosawa concentrates on evoking the vast remoteness of the Siberian wilderness, a world the Russian finds forbidding but one in which the hunter is perfectly at home.

	Dispelling the Myth of Access Concentration (upacara-samadhi)
		The concept of "access concentration" (upacara-samadhi) is presented in both the Buddhist Commentaries and in the Abhidhamma it however does not appear in the Discourse of the Buddha.
		In addition to the concept of access concentration it is in the commentary literature where we also see the development of the idea of a "dry insight path." It is in the commentary where "access concentration" (upacara-samadhi) is suggested to be sufficient for full enlightenment, and not in the suttas.
		But not a single sutta discusses access concentration, nor do they refer to insight (vipassana) as a practice path, nor do they suggest deep stages of absorption (jhana) are to be avoided, thus should we conclude that the commentaries are in error on these topics.

	Sample Senior Essay Proposals
		By claiming throughout the poem that the Clifford women are vessels in which grace and virtue are housed, Lanyer casts her patrons as houses themselves, thus fulfilling a model of the Protestant inner life, which is by nature completely their own.
		This is the line I would like to investigate, as, indeed, Lanyer was the first woman to bid for patronage in the manner of John Donne or Ben Jonson, and her poetic pleas reveal her conception of patronage between women in particular.
		Moreover, I plan to explore Lanyer's position as an early modern author, both as she constructs it for herself in Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum, and as it is constructed for her by factors such as gender and the emerging print culture in which she participated.

	Publishing cooperatives
		Ownership concentration allows large publishers to bundle journals in aggregations that capture a disproportionate share of library budgets and reduce the funds available to purchase journals from smaller publishers with little market power.
		This equity capital represents a means to an end, rather than an end in itself, as patronage of the cooperative — which generates much of the member-publisher equity — creates the economic rationale for the cooperative’s existence in the first place.
		Patronage refunds would be returned to publishers either as cash or as written notices of allocation.

	A Proposed Unifying Theory for the Experience of Gnosis
		Discourse of the Buddha and from personal experience as well as consultation with many contemplatives it is clear that the experience of skilful meditation is a subjective state, or an altered state of consciousness, that occurs due to the skilful practice of a meditation technique.

It is also in the commentary where "access concentration" (upacara-samadhi) is suggested to be sufficient for full enlightenment, and not in the suttas.

	H-Net Review: R. C. Richardson on Urban Patronage in Early Modern England: Corporate ...
		Catherine Patterson's book derives from her doctoral thesis on the same subject and she has heralded its publication by the publication of a number of journal articles in the last decade exploring specific aspects of the subject which is here presented as a rounded study.
		Patterson's study makes clear that patronage in the early modern period was a vital instrument in politics and society, and not something that was merely decorative and insubstantial.
		Urban patronage, self evidently, was one element in a multi-dimensional, multi-leveled political network embracing the center and the provinces in this period.

		Many of UNDP's efforts are concentrated on building broad partnerships among the state, local government, civil society organizations and the private sector to foster pro-poor decentralization.

	Unacknowledged convergence of open source, open access, and open science
		Today’s public patronage of research and scholarship stands as, in David’s words, "European feudalism’s great gift to the economic vigor of capitalism in the modern age" even as it remains at one remove from it [45].

		He speaks of a needed balance between the Republic of Science and the Realm of (proprietary) Technology, a balance which open source and open access advocates are trying to sustain, as they turn to the market economy for their laptop and the desk they are working at [47].

	Are all Nazi's evil? - Total War Center Forums
		I disagree with the contention however that the vast majority of nazi's were violent or operators of concentration camps.
		Does that mean that the majority of Nazi's operated concentration camps, of course not considering there were a lot of nazi's and armed forces that never came close to one.
		Yes, the majority of nazi's knew what was going on, a lot of them disagreed with it but did it anyway due to lack of willpower, some became traitors and fought to undermine the Nazi regime from the inside out, others weren't sure what to do.
