Content: The rise of the Auntie Sewing Squad, a massive mutual-aid network of volunteers who provide free masks in the wake of US government failures during the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, when the US government failed to provide personal protective gear during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Auntie Sewing Squad emerged. Founded by performance artist Kristina Wong, the mutual-aid group sewed face masks with a bold social justice mission: to protect the most vulnerable and most neglected. Written and edited by Aunties themselves, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice tells a powerful story. As the pandemic unfolded, hate crimes against Asian Americans spiked. In this climate of fear and despair, a team of mostly Asian American women using the familial label ";Auntie"; formed online, gathered momentum, and sewed masks at home by the thousands. The Aunties nimbly funneled masks to asylum seekers, Indigenous communities, incarcerated people, farmworkers, and others disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. When anti-lockdown agitators descended on state capitals-and, eventually, the US Capitol-the Aunties dug in. And as the nation erupted in rebellion over police violence against Black people, the Aunties supported and supplied Black Lives Matter protesters and organizations serving Black communities. Providing hundreds of thousands of homemade masks met an urgent public health need and expressed solidarity, care, and political action in a moment of social upheaval. The Auntie Sewing Squad is a quirky, fast-moving, and adaptive mutual-aid group that showed up to meet a critical need. Led primarily by women of color, the group includes some who learned to sew from mothers and grandmothers working for sweatshops or as a survival skill passed down by refugee relatives. The Auntie Sewing Squad speaks back to the history of exploited immigrant labor as it enacts an intersectional commitment to public health for all. This collection of essays and ephemera is a community document of the labor and care of the Auntie Sewing Squad.

Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Mit 32.000 Schriften von 90 internationalen Bibliotheken dokumentiert das 1760-seitige Werk den aktuellen Stand des internationalen Schriftschaffens. Das FontBook enthält alle (digitalisierten) Klassiker der Druckkunst sowie die wichtigsten Schriften der Neuzeit - ausgewählt und katalogisiert von einer 7-köpfigen Redaktion unter der Leitung von Erik Spiekermann. Symbol-Fonts, Non-Western und nicht-lateinische Schriften bilden eigene Kapitel. Mehr als 100.000 Angaben zu Entwerfern, Entwurfsjahr, Sprachräumen und Lieferanten sowie Verweise zu ähnlichen Schriften machen das FontBook zum unverzichtbaren Werkzeug für professionelle Typografen. Für die Ähnlichkeitsreferenzen konnten die renommierten Experten Yves Peters (Typographer.org) und Stephen Coles (Typographica) gewonnen werden. Gestalterische und inhaltliche Verbesserungen erleichtern die Benutzung des um 30 Prozent gewachsenen FontBooks. Ein 60-seitiges Inhaltsverzeichnis, das Lieferanten und alternative Font-Produkte nennt, ersetzt den einst separaten FontFinder. Im Hauptteil sorgen Kürzel für Fremdsprachen, Expert-Sets und Schnitt-Varianten für eine verdichtete Darstellung großer Familien; Kapitälchen und Ziffern-Varianten sind in vierzeilige Lesemuster integriert. Auf diese Art »schrumpfen« einst mehrseitig dargestellte Großfamilien zum Einseiter, kleine Werksatzfamilien kommen wieder angemessen zur Geltung. Neu ist auch die einzeilige Headline-Darstellung, die immer dann in Kraft tritt, wenn gestalterische Details einer Schrift in der 12-Punkt-Darstellung unsichtbar würden. Viele Display-Schriften und Script-Fonts erscheinen nun in ganz neuem Licht." -- "With 32,000 fonts from 90 international libraries, the 1760-page work documents the current status of international writing. The FontBook contains all the (digitized) classics of print art as well as the most important modern writings - selected and cataloged by a 7-person editorial staff under the direction of Erik Spiekermann. Symbol fonts, non-Western and non-Latin fonts form separate chapters. More than 100,000 designer, year, language and supplier details and references to similar fonts make the FontBook an indispensable tool for professional typographers. For the similarity references, the renowned experts Yves Peters (Typographer.org) and Stephen Coles (Typographica) were recruited. Design and content enhancements make it easier to use the FontBook, which has grown by 30 percent. A 60-page table of contents listing suppliers and alternative font products replaces the once-separate FontFinder. In the main part, shortcuts for foreign languages, expert sets and cut variants provide a condensed representation of large families; Small caps and number variants are integrated into four-line reading patterns. In this way, once multi-sided large families "shrink" to the one-sided, small Werksatzfamilien come back to appropriate effect. Also new is the single-line headline display, which always comes into force when design details of a font in the 12-point display would be invisible. Many display fonts and script fonts now appear in a completely new light."

Content: Son escasos los estudios sobre el destino de las transferencias privadas inter-vivos. En este artículo se compara la propensión marginal a consumir en diferentes rubros de gastos (incluyendo educación y salud) de los hogares que reciben transferencias privadas, con la de los hogares que no las reciben. La información proviene de la encuesta Ennvih 2002. Se concluye que el gasto marginal en alimentación, salud y educación de los niños es mayor en los hogares que reciben algún tipo de transferencia que en los que no la reciben. Dicho patrón de consumo se debe principalmente a sus características específicas, y no a las transferencias mismas.

Content: What draws people to study abroad or volunteer in far-off communities? Often the answer is romance – the romance of landscapes, people, languages, the very sense of border-crossing – and longing for liberation, attraction to the unknown, yearning to make a difference. This volume explores the complicated and often fraught desires to study and volunteer abroad. In doing so, the book sheds light on how affect is managed by educators and mobilized by students and volunteers themselves, and how these structures of feeling relate to broader social and economic forces.
