Lynn Hill Biography - Chronology, Awards And Accomplishments, Further Information - SELECTED WRITINGS BY HILL: - Climbing, Free, Climb, and Rock - JRank Articles American rock climber World Cup champion Lynn Hill is the best female rock climber in the world, and in the top five overall. In a sport dominated by men, Hill has accomplished feats in climbing that climbers of both genders marvel at. After winning dozens of competitions—against both women and men—Hill retired from competition to pursue climbs in some of the world's most exotic locales. Hill was born in 1961 in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in Orange County, in southern California. She was the fifth of seven children of James Alan Hill, an aeronautical engineer, and Suzanne Biddy Hill, a dental hygienist. Though she is a self-admitted tomboy, Hill is far from strapping or mannish. Lynn Hill Nevada range, and had her first experience climbing in ice and snow. What really interested Hill was "bouldering," which she discovered at Joshua Tree and still loves to do. After twenty years together, Hill's parents divorced, and she immersed herself in climbing.

NUI Galway: National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway) Lou Andreas-Salomé Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Lou Andreas-Salomé Lou Andreas-Salomé en 1914 Lou Andreas-Salomé, née Louise von Salomé (12 février 1861 à Saint-Pétersbourg - 5 février 1937 à Göttingen), est une femme de lettres allemande d'origine russe. Romancière, essayiste, nouvelliste, psychanalyste, cette figure même de l'égérie a déchaîné de nombreuses passions amoureuses. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Son père Gustav Salomé (1804-1879) était issu d'une famille de huguenots originaire d'Avignon qui avait quitté la France après la Révolution française pour aller s'établir dans les pays baltes[1]. Parlant et écrivant essentiellement en allemand, mais connaissant évidemment le russe et le français (langue de la haute société) et fréquentant l'école privée anglaise, elle n'en avait pas moins « le sentiment d'être russe ». Sa rencontre avec Nietzsche[modifier | modifier le code] Gauche à droite, Andreas-Salomé, Rée et Nietzsche (1882) La muse de Rilke[modifier | modifier le code]

La valse tragique à trois temps de l’innovateur en entreprise En août 1914, l’armée française entre en guerre avec une doctrine rétrograde entièrement basée sur la revanche de la guerre de 1870. L’heure est à l’offensive à tout crin. Les nouvelles technologies (avion, téléphone, fusils automatiques, etc.) sont méprisées au profit d’une conception héroïque de l’action militaire, triomphe de l’esprit sur la matière: on refuse ainsi d’apprendre aux soldats à se protéger des tirs ennemis car cela serait contraire à l’honneur du soldat. Le choc avec l’ennemi et ses résultats calamiteux sont bien sûr un facteur de prise de conscience de la nécessité de changer. On retrouve, avec cet exemple tragique, des situations très fréquentes dans les entreprises et on peut de manière intéressante caractériser ce déroulement en trois temps. Premier temps: L’orchestre joue mais personne ne danse. Deuxième temps: le bal commence, certains couples se forment, d’autres pas. Troisième temps: Le bal se termine, certains couples perdurent, d’autres se déforment.

Howard Becker Oustiders I (Howard S. Becker, that is) have created this page primarily to make things I’ve written and published in obscure places available to anyone who wants them. From time to time I’ll add to what’s here, as well as provide news on topics of interest to people who know me or are interested in what I’m up to. I’ll also include links to other websites I think people might find interesting. What’s here now, first of all, are some papers I’ve published over the years. Then there’s some news of what I’ve been up to and will be up to in the reasonably near future. Another section lists a few websites that deal with things I find interesting or important and would like to recommend to anyone who gets this far. Finally, there is a little gallery of photographs, some from my days as a musician, as well as some vintage portraits of a few of my sociological heroes, including Everett C.

Your Innovation Problem Is Really a Leadership Problem - Scott Anthony by Scott Anthony | 9:00 AM February 13, 2013 When Karl Ronn recently said, “Companies that think they have an innovation problem don’t have an innovation problem. They have a leadership problem,” I listened carefully. I featured Ronn, a former P&G executive (and current executive coach and entrepreneur), in several places in The Little Black Book of Innovation, most notably for his rant against the evils of focus groups. Ronn’s basic idea was that four decades of academic research and two decades of conscious implementation of that work have provided robust, actionable answers to many pressing innovation questions. Yet, with all of this progress it still feels like a positive surprise when you see a large company confidently approach the challenges of innovation. In Building a Growth Factory, my co-author David Duncan and I suggested at least one root cause: too many companies use point solutions to address a systematic challenge: Let’s run an idea challenge!

Principal investigators as scientific entrepreneurs - Online First Although principal investigators are key actors in scientific fields, there is little focus on what they actually do in shaping new scientific directions. This paper studies PIs practices to better understand their roles. Our central contribution is to identify the different ways in which PIs engage themselves in science, in implementing four main practices: ‘focusing in scientific discipline’, ‘innovating and problem solving’, ‘shaping new paradigms and models’ and ‘brokering science’.
