The soundtrack was voted by NPR listeners as the 14th best of the year in a listener poll for 2008. <mask> sings about diverse topics:

<mask>'s authentic persona has a demeanor which is "sheepish and guileless and awkward in a way that you really can't fake" and who sometimes looks "legitimately terrified" during performances, according to Village Voice music critic Rob Harvilla. Five of <mask>'s solo songs, two from Antsy Pants, as well as one from the Moldy Peaches, are included on the Juno soundtrack, released in December 2007.Composer Mateo Messina also based the film's score on <mask>'s music.

Džumhur was then accepted to the main draw of 2015 Morelos Open, as a special exempt, where he managed to win further four matches, bringing his tally to nine wins in a row, and thus reaching the second consecutive final on Challenger level, and his career-first played on hard surface. He lost to Víctor Estrella Burgos, but his semifinal win against Adrián Menéndez-Maceiras, where he saved two match points, gave him first ever placement inside the top 100 in ATP Rankings, which made Džumhur the first male representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina to do so, and also the highest ranked player in a singles ranking list competing under the Bosnian flag (surpassing Mervana Jugic-Salkić's No. 99 ranking from June 2004).

Sir <mask> (also spelled Alen or Alleyn; c. 1500 – 1561)  was a leading  English-born statesman in sixteenth century Ireland. He was a member of the Irish House of Commons, and held the offices of Master of the Rolls in Ireland, Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland and Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Though he was childless himself,  one of his brothers, William,  founded a prominent landowning dynasty in County Kildare. The family's holdings included lands at Celbridge, St. Wolstan's and Kilteel, County Kildare,   as well as  substantial  lands in County Dublin. They also acquired a baronetcy. Family
He was born at Coltishall in Norfolk, son of Thomas Alen. The Alens were a numerous family and five of his brothers, of whom we know most about William and Thomas,   also  settled in Ireland.<mask>, Archbishop of Dublin, who was murdered in the Silken Thomas rebellion of 1534, was a close relative,   probably  a first cousin,  of the Lord Chancellor. Early career
Alen studied law at Gray's Inn,  and  then entered the service of Cardinal Wolsey who sent him to Ireland in 1528 to promote the Cardinal's authority as legate and to act as secretary to Alen's  cousin the Archbishop,  although he and  Wolsey had quarrelled. Neither Wolsey's downfall nor the retirement of the Archbishop from the Lord Chancellorship harmed Alen's career: he became clerk to the Irish Parliament, Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland (an office which he held for life) and in 1533 Master of the Rolls in Ireland. The latter office at that time was largely  administrative rather than judicial in nature: to be a qualified lawyer, like Alen himself,  was a  desirable but not essential  requirement, and at least two sixteenth-century Masters

 lacked any legal qualifications. Rebellion of  Silken Thomas
In 1533 Alen and Sir Gerald Aylmer, the future Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, with whom Alen was always closely associated, presented a petition to the Crown about the misgovernment of Ireland by Gerald FitzGerald, 9th Earl of Kildare and his son Silken Thomas. Just before the outbreak of Silken Thomas's Rebellion in 1534, Alen and his brothers sent an urgent letter to London urging Thomas's arrest. The murder of their cousin Archbishop Alen was the most notorious act of the rebellion, but neither <mask> nor his brothers seem to have suffered any harm.Though by his own admission <mask> was "not a soldier" he played some part in suppressing the rebellion. Dissolution of the Monasteries
In 1539 Alen was appointed  to head the Commission for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in Ireland,  with instructions to receive voluntary resignations of monks and nuns  and surrender of monastic houses, and provide for the payment of pensions to those who willingly left the religious life. He  was also given power to "apprehend and punish" all those who maintained the papal authority. Alen had already received his reward: St. Wolstan's Priory, near Celbridge, County Kildare, had been suppressed in 1536 and granted to Alen. The estate  included Donaghcumper Church and the  lands attached to it. The Alen family  remained at St. Wolstan's for two centuries. He was also granted the lands of present-day Palmerstown in County Dublin: in his will he left these lands to his widow for her life, after which it was to pass to the children of his brother William.His brother Thomas, who had been appointed joint Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper,  received the former estate  of

 the Order of St John of Jerusalem at Kilteel; this may have been at <mask>'s request, or at the request of the last Prior of the Order, Sir <mask>, later Viscount Clontarf, whose natural daughter Mary married Thomas. Thomas  and Mary had at least one daughter, Eleanor, who married Robert Dillon, Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas and had one son. Kilteel also remained in the Alen family for centuries: the Castle  survives and  is an excellent example of a medieval tower house. Lord Chancellor, removal from office  and return to power
In 1538, on the death of <mask>, 3rd Baron Trimlestown, Alen became Lord Keeper  of the Great Seal of Ireland, and subsequently Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Even his enemies acknowledged that he was a hard-working and conscientious judge. However he quarrelled with the Lord Deputy of Ireland, Sir Anthony St. Leger, who wrote to London complaining of Alen's conduct. Alen was summoned before the English Privy Council in 1546 and accused of corruption, as well as  the   rather vague charge of "promoting discord".Alen strongly defended himself, saying he was the "cleanest-handed Chancellor in the memory of man"; but the charges were upheld and he was removed from office and  imprisoned  briefly. Whether he was guilty of corruption or simply the victim of St. Leger's enmity it is difficult to say. Alen was accused by Walter Cowley, the Principal Solicitor for Ireland, who until then had been  generally regarded as Alen's  ally,  of inducing Cowley to write the so-called  "Gowran letter"  in which  St. Leger was accused of deliberately endangering the life of James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond, of  whom <mask> was a strong
supporter. Cowley certainly wrote the letter but whether Alen

  had any part in the Gowran affair  is unclear. He was deprived of his pension; yet a year later the Council ordered the restoration of all his property. In 1548 Alen regained the  Lord Chancellorship; but on St. Leger's return to power in 1550 he felt it best to retire, despite assurances of the King's continued  goodwill. Given the enmity between them, O'Flanagan regarded Alen's magnanimous conduct towards St. Leger on one crucial occasion  as praiseworthy.When  Archbishop Browne charged St. Leger with  having spoken treasonable  words, he gave Alen as his source. Alen however refused to repeat St. Leger's words on the grounds that they had been spoken in confidence. Last years
In 1553 on the death of Edward VI his sister Mary I reappointed Alen to the Privy Council of Ireland. Her letter to the Council is a tribute to the high regard in which he was held by the Crown: it praises him for his "trusty functions" under Henry VIII and Edward, and his "long experience and travail in public affairs". On a more personal note, the letter  refers to his age and infirmity and urges that he not be required to undertake any long journeys. Despite the reference to his age and infirmity, Ball notes that he was elected to the Irish House of Commons as member for Kinsale in 1560. Given the distance between Kinsale and his home in  County Kildare, and the   appalling condition of the Irish  roads  at the time,   we may infer that he was  an absentee  MP.Death and heirs

Alen died at his home at  St. Wolstan's in 1561 and was buried at Donaghcumper  Church; a memorial was erected to him and an Alen family vault was later added. Donaghcumper Church  is now a ruin. In his last will  he left much of his  property to his widow


texts:
 for her life, and after her death to his nephew <mask> (died 1616), who was almost certainly   the  son of his brother William of Kiloughter, now Celbridge. William
made his own  will in 1558, and  died a year or so later. In his will  he made provision for his widow Margaret,  and their seven children, five sons including <mask>, and two daughters (it seems that none of the children were yet married). <mask>, who also inherited Kilteel Castle from  his uncle
Thomas Alen,  was the grandfather of Sir Thomas Alen, 1st Baronet,  who  was created a baronet in 1621 in recognition of the services to the Crown of his relative  Archbishop Alen. The title died with him.King's Inns
Alen was closely associated with the foundation of the King's Inns in 1541. Although it was Patrick Barnewall, a  future Master of the Rolls, who first wrote to Thomas Cromwell in 1538 urging that the former religious house at  Blackfriars (near present-day Henrietta Street in Dublin city centre) should  become a "House of Chancery", the lease for 21 years granted by Henry VIII in 1541 has Alen at the head of the list of lessees; and in 1542 his name is on the petition to the King urging the grant of the property to the lessees in perpetuity. Character
O'Flanagan praises Alen  as an honest and honourable man, notes the high opinion of him held by three successive English monarchs and remarks that he was capable of magnanimous behaviour even to bitter political opponents like St Leger. Elrington Ball admits his good qualities, but adds that he was quarrelsome and undiplomatic, and under some suspicion of corruption. References

He is a former director of Boston University's Center for International Relations (from 1998 to 2005), now part of the Pardee School of Global Studies. <mask> is the co-founder and president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. <mask> has been "a persistent, vocal critic of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, calling the conflict a catastrophic failure." In March 2007, he described George W. Bush's endorsement of such "preventive wars" as "immoral, illicit, and imprudent."His son, <mask> <mask>, also an Army officer, died fighting in the Iraq War in May 2007. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Normal, Illinois, the son of Martha Ellen (née Bulfer; later Greenis) and <mask> Sr. His father was of Lithuanian descent and his mother was of Irish, German, and English ancestry. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1969 and served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, serving in Vietnam from the summer of 1970 to the summer of 1971. Later he held posts in Germany, including in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment; the United States; and the Persian Gulf up to his retirement from the service with the rank of colonel in the early 1990s. His early retirement is thought to be a result of his taking responsibility for the Camp Doha (Kuwait) explosion in 1991 in command of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. He holds a

 Ph.D. in American Diplomatic History from Princeton University, and taught at West Point and Johns Hopkins University before joining the faculty at Boston University in 1998. Writings
<mask> has described himself as a "Catholic conservative" and initially published writings in a number of politically oriented magazines, including The Wilson Quarterly.He advocates for a non-interventionist foreign policy. His recent writings have professed a dissatisfaction with the Bush Administration and many of its intellectual supporters on matters of U.S. foreign policy. On August 15, 2008, <mask> appeared as the guest of Bill Moyers Journal on PBS to promote his book, The Limits of Power. As in both of his previous books, The Long War (2007) and The New American Militarism: How Americans are Seduced by War (2005), <mask> is critical of U.S. foreign policy in the post-Cold War era, maintaining the United States has developed an over-reliance on military power, in contrast to diplomacy, to achieve its foreign policy aims. He also asserts that policymakers in particular, and the U.S. people in general, overestimate the usefulness of military force in foreign affairs. Bacevich believes romanticized images of war in popular culture (especially films) interact with the lack of actual military service among most of the U.S. population to produce in the U.S. people a highly unrealistic, even dangerous notion of what combat and military service are really like. <mask> conceived The New American Militarism as "a corrective to what has become the conventional critique of U.S. policies since 9/11 but [also] as a challenge to the orthodox historical context employed to justify those policies."Finally, he attempts to place current policies in historical context, as part of a U.S. tradition going back to the Presidency of

texts: Woodrow Wilson, a tradition (of an interventionist, militarized foreign policy) which has strong bi-partisan roots. To lay an intellectual foundation for this argument, he cites two influential historians from the 20th century: Charles A. Beard and William Appleman Williams. Ultimately, Bacevich eschews the partisanship of current debate about U.S. foreign policy as short-sighted and ahistorical. Instead of blaming only one president (or his advisors) for contemporary policies, <mask> sees both Republicans and Democrats as sharing responsibility for policies which may not be in the nation's best interest. In March 2003, at the time of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, <mask> wrote in the Los Angeles Times that "if, as seems probable, the effort encounters greater resistance than its architects imagine, our way of life may find itself tested in ways that will make the Vietnam War look like a mere blip in American history." <mask>'s book American Empire: The Realities and Consequences of US Diplomacy, published in 2004, was highly praised by Professor of International Relations and author Peter Gowan for being "a tonic to read: crisp, vivid, pungent, with a dry sense of humour and sharp sense of hypocrisies."Gowan describes Bacevich as a "conservative, who explains that he believed in the justice of America's war against Communism, and continues to do so, but once it was over came to the conclusion that U.S. expansionism both preceded and exceeded the logic of the Cold War, and needed to be understood in a longer, more continuous historical durée." <mask> wrote an editorial about the Bush Doctrine published in The Boston Globe in March 2007. In an article of The American Conservative dated March 24, 2008, Bacevich depicts Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama as the best choice for conservatives in


texts: the fall. Part of his argument includes the fact that "this liberal Democrat has promised to end the U.S. combat role in Iraq. Contained within that promise, if fulfilled, lies some modest prospect of a conservative revival." He also goes on to mention that "For conservatives to hope the election of yet another Republican will set things right is surely in vain. To believe that President John McCain will reduce the scope and intrusiveness of federal authority, cut the imperial presidency down to size, and put the government on a pay-as-you-go basis is to succumb to a great delusion."In the October 11, 2009, issue of The Boston Globe, he wrote that the decision to commit more troops to Afghanistan may be the most fateful choice of the Obama administration. "If the Afghan war then becomes the consuming issue of Obama's presidency – as Iraq became for his predecessor, as Vietnam did for Lyndon Johnson, and as Korea did for Harry Truman – the inevitable effect will be to compromise the prospects of reform more broadly." In his article "Non Believer" in the July 7, 2010, issue of The New Republic, <mask> compared President George W. Bush, characterized as wrong-headed but sincere, with President Obama, who, he says, has no belief in the Afghanistan war but pursues it for his own politically cynical reasons: "Who is more deserving of contempt? The commander-in-chief who sends young Americans to die for a cause, however misguided, in which he sincerely believes? Or the commander-in-chief who sends young Americans to die for a cause in which he manifestly does not believe and yet refuses to forsake?" In an October 2010 interview with Guernica Magazine, <mask> addressed his seemingly contradictory stance on Obama. While Bacevich supported Obama during the 2008 presidential race in which Obama repeatedly said

Regarding nuclear policy in particular, <mask> noted in The Limits of Power that there is no feasible scenario under which nuclear weapons could sensibly be used and keeping them entails many other risks: "For the United States, they are becoming unnecessary, even as a deterrent. Certainly, they are unlikely to dissuade the adversaries most likely to employ such weapons against us – Islamic extremists intent on acquiring their own nuclear capability. If anything, the opposite is true. By retaining a strategic arsenal in readiness (and by insisting without qualification that the dropping of atomic bombs on two Japanese cities in 1945 was justified), the United States continues tacitly to sustain the view that nuclear weapons play a legitimate role in international politics ... ."

<mask> (born July 12, 1924) is a Hungarian-born American graphic designer and educator. Tscherny has received the highest honors among graphic designers. He was awarded the AIGA Medal in 1988, celebrated in the annual Masters Series in 1992 at the School of Visual Arts, and inducted into the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 1997. He has worked in a number of areas ranging from U.S. postage to identity programs for large corporations and institutions. Working at the height of mid-20th century American modernist design, Tscherny displayed "an ability to seize the essence of the subject and express it in stunningly simple terms" and to reduce "complex content to an elemental graphic symbol expressing the underlying order or basic form of the subject." At the same time, Tscherny straddled the line between the high European design of the early 20th century and the more popular forms of design communication in the burgeoning post-War American consumer culture. Reflecting on his career in Print magazine in 2014, <mask> writes, “Unlike the fine artist who values only the original, I as a commercial artist, honor the reproduction as well as its source.I find myself comfortable at the intersection of high and low art”. Early life and education

<mask> was born July 12, 1924 in Budapest, to parents Mendel <mask> and Bella Heimann. In 1926, the family moved to Berlin, Germany where they lived until he was 14. In December 1938, one month after Kristallnacht, <mask> and his 12-year-old brother escaped

texts: illegally into Holland, where they were granted asylum. Tscherny studied cabinet-making in Holland’s vocational school system while living in various homes for refugee children. Meanwhile, his parents in Berlin having received deportation orders managed to emigrate via Norway to the United States, where they worked to secure United States visas and passage for their sons. <mask> and his brother, having to return to Berlin in 1941 to secure entrance visas to Portugal, were confronted by the Gestapo for violating the deportation order not having realized that the order had applied to them as well.They were given two weeks to leave Germany, fortunately extended several times. In June 1941, <mask> and his brother boarded a sealed train which took them from Berlin via France and Spain to Lisbon where they boarded the SS Mouzinho, arriving in New York on June 21, 1941, the very day that Germany attacked Russia. Tscherny settled in Newark, New Jersey where he found a factory job. In June 1944, exactly 3 years after having left, Tscherny landed back in Europe as a soldier in the United States Army, working as a German interpreter in a small prisoner of war compound in Normandy and later with military government in Germany. Discharged in 1946, Tscherny attended art school on the G.I. Bill, first at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, transferring in the fall of 1947 to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, where he studied under Herschel Levit and James Brooks. In 1947, he met Sonia Katz,

 and the two were married in 1950.For these past seven decades Sonia has had a profound influence on his private as well professional life. They occupy a New York City townhouse which also incorporates Tscherny’s design studio. They have two daughters. Tscherny cites as some of his earliest influences the photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, the American graphic designer Lester Beall, and the type designer Imre Reiner, and later the Bernard Rudofsky and E.H. Gombrich, the jazz composer John Lewis, and the architect and designer <mask>. Career
In 1950, <mask> began his professional career as a packaging designer with Donald Deskey Associates. In 1953, Tscherny joined George Nelson & Associates, a firm in the vanguard of post-war Modernist design. Tscherny became an associate and head of the graphics department before leaving the Nelson office to open an independent design office in 1956.<mask> began to teach in the same year. Around the same time, he was hired by the Cartoonist and Illustrators School (soon to become the School of Visual Arts) to establish a graphic design department and change the direction of the curriculum. He also designed a series of posters to appear in the subway that would reflect the new image and expanded goals of the school and later designed the school's current logo. The Tscherny design office quickly acquired a distinguished roster of institutional and corporate clients. <mask> was appointed design consultant to the Ford Foundation. In 1955, he designed the

<mask> (October 13, 1921 – October 30, 2017) was a family therapist born and raised in San Salvador, Entre Ríos, Argentina. He developed structural family therapy, which addresses problems within a family by charting the relationships between family members, or between subsets of family (Minuchin, 1974). These charts represent power dynamics as well as the boundaries between different subsystems. The therapist tries to disrupt dysfunctional relationships within the family, and cause them to settle back into a healthier pattern. Career
<mask> served as a physician in the Israeli army after obtaining his degree in medicine. Once his service was finished, he traveled to New York City to be trained in child psychiatry with Nathan Ackerman. When his training with Ackerman was complete, Minuchin returned to Israel to assist displaced children as a child psychiatrist (Nichols, 2010).In 1954 he returned to the United States to be trained in psychoanalysis at the William Alanson White Institute. After completing his psychoanalytic training, Minuchin worked as a child psychiatrist at the Wiltwyck School for delinquent boys, where he decided that treating whole families would be worthwhile. While he held his position at the Wiltwyck School, Minuchin developed a form of family therapy with his co-workers. Their method involved Minuchin or another psychiatrist performing a therapy session with a family while the other psychiatrists viewed the session through a one-way mirror (Nichols, 2010). Observing one another work allowed the therapists to learn techniques easily and led Minuchin to develop structural family therapy. In 1962, once Minuchin had generated his theoretical formulations for family structure, he traveled to Palo Alto to work with Jay Haley. Minuchin's work at the Wiltwyck School led to his first book, Families of the Slums (1967), which outlined his theoretical model of family therapy.Minuchin supervised both Esther Perel and

 Virginia Goldner. In 1965 Minuchin became the director of the Child Guidance Clinic in Philadelphia. He stepped down from this position in 1976 to become the head of training at the center until 1981, when he left Philadelphia to practice and teach child psychiatry in New York (Nichols, 2010). In 1996, he moved to Boston and retired from his career. Minuchin died on October 30, 2017  in Boca Raton, Florida. Friendship with Jay Haley

One of the developments that came out of Minuchin's work with Jay Haley was the collaborative friendship between the two professionals. Minuchin once wrote of Haley as his most important teacher, a man who was "forever pushing the envelope, testing the limits of new ideas" to challenge Minuchin and himself.Minuchin characterizes their relationship as similar to the friendship between Spock and Captain Kirk from the television show Star Trek in that Jay Haley was highly intellectual, while Minuchin was extremely pragmatic (Minuchin, 2007). Theoretical contributions to family therapy

<mask>n made several important contributions to the field of family therapy during his career, the most important of which was the development of structural family therapy (Nichols, 2010). When Minuchin first began to work as a family therapist, he wrote about enmeshed and disengaged families, which became an important component of structural family therapy. Minuchin also suggested that most families try to solve their problems through first-order changes (changes of single behaviors) and that in order for a family's structure to significantly change and become healthy again, second-order changes (alterations of the family's rules) are necessary. These concepts informed his conception of structural family therapy and influenced other branches of family psychology. Psychosomatic model for treatment of anorexia nervosa

In 1978 Minuchin helped write Psychosomatic Families: Anorexia Nervosa in Context, which details a clinical


texts:
 model for the causes and treatment of anorexia nervosa based on an integration of medical research and previously successful psychological interventions (Minuchin, Rosman, & Baker, 1978). The psychosomatic model of anorexia nervosa specifically combines elements of psychodynamic and behavioral theory to create a comprehensive account of the origins of anorexia nervosa in a family system.According to the book, optimal treatment of anorexia nervosa involves the application of behavioral and structural family therapy methods. The book also features four case studies of families whose members have suffered from anorexia nervosa and how the model's treatment was successfully applied to their situation. Criticisms of postmodern therapy

In an editorial in The Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, Minuchin (1998) expressed concerns about postmodern family therapy. He argued that both narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy bring unique and useful methods to the practice of family therapy, such as emphasizing alternative personal narratives to cope with problems. However, he stated that postmodern therapies lost the information that family dialogues produced, the spontaneity of therapist-directed enactments, the focus on the therapist as a positive and helpful, that the therapist can make a family feel more connected, and the acknowledgement that the therapist must function with personal bias. In other words, Minuchin felt that postmodern therapy displaced the family and created a paradigm for therapy that was not representative of the psychological experience of a family. In a follow up to his initial criticisms, Minuchin (1999) also stated that he felt the focus of postmodern therapy was too broad to be effectively applied to the specific problems of a family unit.He suggests that family therapy should be used to alleviate stress of pain within a family, not to remove the influence of overarching cultural narratives.

 Center for the Family
When Minuchin moved to New York in 1981, he established the Family Studies Institute, where he could teach family therapists and interface directly with the foster care system through consultation services (Nichols, 2010). Renamed the Minuchin Center for the Family after Minuchin's retirement in 1995, it is dedicated to teaching the concepts and techniques of structural family therapy, and to consulting with organizations that work with families challenged by poverty, racism, and discrimination due to gender or sexual orientation.
