Women and Dao in Gao Xingjian’s works
Drawing on the existing scholarly studies that have gone beyond the misogynist paradigm, such as those by Mabel Lee, Gilbert Fong, Terry Siu-han Yip, Kwok-kan Tam, and Mary Mazzilli, I intend to explore the connection between the Zen Buddhist comprehension of Dao and the representation of women in Gao Xingjian’s novels and plays. As desire and sexual relationships play a very crucial part in the realm of Zen, the role of women is inevitably bound up with self-awareness and self-reflection, which are enshrined by Gao Xingjian as necessary on the path toward individual enlightenment. According to Gao, even if women’s roles are socially and culturally constructed or sometimes become a privileged trope of defying social convention, the truth that emerges from secular life often incorporates the spirituality into women’s unique biological and psychological construction, immune to men’s full understanding but inexorably furnishing a way leading to the state of Zen
Strategic Human Capital Management: NRC Could Better Manage the Size and Composition of Its Workforce by Further Incorporating Leading Practices
[Excerpt] After the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which included tax incentives for nuclear energy, NRC significantly expanded its workforce to meet the demands of an anticipated increase in workload that ultimately did not occur. More recently, a forecast for reduced growth in the nuclear industry prompted NRC to develop plans for changing its structure and workforce to better respond to changes in the nuclear industry. Strategic human capital planning is one of several actions the agency is taking.
The explanatory statement accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2016 included a provision for GAO to report on NRC’s workforce management. GAO examined NRC’s strategic human capital management efforts and the extent to which these efforts incorporate leading practices.
GAO reviewed NRC’s strategic workforce plan and other related documents and interviewed knowledgeable NRC officials
The second moment of Dirichlet twists of Hecke -functions
Fix a Hecke cusp form , and consider the -function of twisted by a
primitive Dirichlet character. As we range over all primitive characters of a
large modulus , what is the average behavior of the square of the central
value of this -function? Stefanicki proved an asymptotic valid only for
having very few prime factors, and we extend this to almost all .Comment: 9 page

The Manager as a Teacher in GAO
The GAO manager, in fulfilling his role as a teacher, provides systematic guidance to his subordinates according to their varying needs and abilities. The manager modifies this role as soon as he perceives a subordinate growing in knowledge and in skill. When manifestations of individuality and creativity begin to emerge and reflect increasingly mature and professional conduct, the manager invariably becomes more a source of information and inspiration and less a supervisor. Through the manager, each assignment gives a subordinate the opportunity for a maximum, intensive, educational experience
