Two-fifths of Britons 'unaware Somme battle was in WW1
Two-fifths of Britons 'unaware Somme battle was in First World War'
More than four in 10 Britons do not know in which conflict the Battle of the Somme took place, according to new research after the 100th anniversary of the calamitous First World War offensive.
Some 43 percent of people did not know the battle, the bloodiest in the British Army's history, occurred during the 1914-1918 war, according to a survey by the National Army Museum.
Almost half (46 percent) were unaware it took place in 1916 or that the artillery-scarred battlefield was in France.
And the group that expressed the least knowledge about the battle was the "baby boomer" generation, with 88 percent of those aged 55 to 64 saying they knew little or nothing about it.
Tristan Langlois, head of learning at the National Army Museum (NAM), said: "This year marks the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, arguably one of the most significant battles of the First World War, and it's important that the sacrifices that were made both in battle and at home aren't forgotten."
The NAM polled more than 2,000 people as it launched its Somme "centenary learning package", which includes maps, videos and soldiers stories through items including diary entries and photographs.
The Somme was a battle that claimed almost 20,000 British lives on the first day alone. There were more than a million casualties on both sides by the time it ended after 141 days on November 18 1916.
It is hoped people will hold vigils at sundown on June 30 or on July 1, gathering at appropriate places or in their own homes, lighting candles, reading poems or listening to music and sharing photographs of relatives who fought in the battle.
The centenary was marked with a series of formal events including a national commemoration in Manchester and vigils at Westminster Abbey in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and County Down, Northern Ireland.
There was also an international commemorative event on July 1 at Thiepval, in northern France, where a memorial stands to more than 72,000 men who died on the Somme and have no known grave.
Beginning on July 1 1916 and intended to achieve a decisive victory for the British and French, the Somme became a bloody stalemate on battlegrounds that turned into a muddy quagmire after torrential rains in October of that year.

Course Information 1300 823 393
John Coyle, is reinvigorating his career by studying online with TAFE NSW. Currently employed as an engineer at Highland Pine Products in Oberon, Mr Coyle is undertaking a Certificate IV in Engineering course and wants to gain a qualification to improve his skills and achieve greater job diversity.
Mr Coyle loves the convenience and flexibility of studying from home.
"I have a young family and a full-time job so it makes it easier for me to be able to study this way. It's the only plausible way for me to gain this qualification. Upskilling in engineering allows me to be able to take on more technical aspects and progress further in my organisation. I need to be more technically skilled. I enjoy the challenge and diversity of engineering as a trade and I like the sense of achievement when I get the job done," Mr Coyle said.
The blended delivery of this course includes one night per week attending class at the students' local TAFE NSW campus for practical skills in welding and an additional night per week online learning with Adobe Connect and Bridgit sessions. Assistance is available for students who may need more personalised help through smaller group tuition. The courses are also delivered by expert teachers that are trade qualified with industry experience.
Peter Buttenshaw, TAFE NSW teacher recognises the need for state-wide access to these courses to be able to meet industry demand for qualified engineers, with an emphasis on tailoring the course content to industry needs.
"The Certificate IV in Engineering provides students with greater technical knowledge for their engineering trade and also gives them a broader range of skills at a higher level. Some course units provide knowledge for the students to move into a management role. We provided hands-on practical training in Semester 1 and now we've moved to computer based units. The students learn CAD drafting, maths, non-destructive testing and the analysis of equipment," he said.
"The benefit of blended delivery courses means that students don't need to drive long distances to attend class which helps with safety and convenience. They haven't had access to these courses before because of the geographic limitations – so it's about creating accessibility for students."
The Certificate IV in Engineering is being delivered to students from across the state, including Moss Vale, Goulburn, Wollongong, Bathurst and Cooma.

Garmin announced on Tuesday that they have extended their sponsorship of Garmin-Slipstream for a further three years.
The American team's manager Jonathan Vaughters said the deal, which will see Garmin remain as title sponsor until at least 2013, will allow the team to reach its long term goals.
"When Garmin first decided to partner with us, we said we believed that a new era of cycling was upon us," said Vaughters in a statement. "Today, with this significant extension, we can now say – the era is here."
The team notched up 29 victories this year, including three stage wins in the Tour of Spain. They also enjoyed success in the Tour de France, with Briton Bradley Wiggins finishing fourth overall. More recently, Wiggins took the overall classification in the Sun Tour in Australia.
Garmin, who produce global positioning systems (GPS), said that they had been pleased with the exposure the team had given the company since they began sponsorship prior to the 2008 Tour de France.

Dr. Rajan Saxena sheds light on why Indian institutions are not faring well in global rankings and what they can learn from corporates
Whenever global rankings of institutions are released in India, a debate ensues on why no Indian institution is in the top 100 globally despite the fact that India has had a rich tradition of education starting from the early days of Nalanda. Also it is a fact that some of our universities like Delhi, Madras, Bombay and Calcutta are more than 100 years old. The first IIT was set up at Kharagpur in 1951 and the first IIM at Calcutta in 1961 followed by the IIM Ahmedabad in 1962. These great institutions have also produced many illustrious alumni. Thanks to India's diverse needs and federal structure, its higher education sector today is the largest in terms of enrolment and the number of institutions.
Despite these facts it has neither made a mark at the global level nor emerged as an education hub. As a result it has lost several decades of opportunity to other countries in Asia Pacific, in particular, to smaller countries like Singapore and Hong Kong and now to its large neighbour, China. It is time to introspect on the factors that have contributed to this scenario.
A new code of governance is required for transformation
One of these factors is the governance of the sector both at the government and institution level. India definitely needs a new code of governance at both levels. Government has to shift from being a controller that is rigid and discourages innovations to a facilitator that encourages institutional autonomy with greater accountability. Private sector plays a significant role in educating India today. So, encouraging them to become accountable would be better than discriminating against them. Government has to also become more transparent in the criteria and processes used for approvals.
Institutions often find themselves in troubled waters even after complying with almost all criteria. Even at the institution level there's often a lack of transparency in decision making and communication which creates an element of suspicion in the minds of stakeholders.Institutions should consider self-regulation as an important step in developing transparent and accountable operations.
Making government more transparent and less rigid
Regulators like University Grants Commission(UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Medical Council of India (MCI) were established to govern this sector. However, they have only controlled the growth, innovation and expansion of the sector, making systems more rigid and less market friendly. For instance provisions requiring institutions to adhere to a particular course design or course duration goes contrary to the philosophy of market responsiveness and discourages innovation. The recent decision asking institutions to roll back four year undergraduate degree programs is a case in point.
Globally it is now believed that an undergraduate degree program should be inter-disciplinary and must provide adequate time for students to decide on specialising in one particular discipline. It is unfair to expect a young 17-year-old student to make a career choice. Giving a broad exposure in the first two years of undergraduate studies gives students an opportunity to explore their interest and potential. Spending the next two years in specialising would then be much more fruitful.
Take another case on using technology for program delivery. Technology can help remove the barriers on entry and make education more inclusive by reaching out to the unserved student markets. The young India today is technology savvy and hence using technology can facilitate expansion at low costs. But, so far the UGC has not looked favourably on technology enabled program delivery. It is only when the regulators become facilitators that we can expect to see a change.
Building accountability in institutional governance
A responsible governance structure in the institutions can help in boosting stakeholders' confidence. To build better governance structures in institutions one can borrow from the way corporate boards have evolved over the last three decades to become clear and unambiguous.
This has been possible primarily due to SEBI's proactive role and companies' adoption of the governance code which went beyond compliance. SEBI has laid down the role for the Boards and even the Independent Directors. The new Companies Act puts a greater degree of onus on companies to ensure transparency. It has also made social responsibility a part of corporate governance.
The Board Committees play important roles in improving governance in various spheres. For instance the Finance and Audit Committee plays a significant role in improving financial health, operations and governance of the companies. Here are four ideas on how educational institutions could model their governance structure on corporate boards and committees:
1. Get independent directors on board. These directors must be chosen from the perspective of the expected contribution that they can make to institutional quality.
2. Structure the Board to have four important committees:
Academic Audit
3. Have regular quarterly meetings of the board and discuss the reports of the committees in detail.
4. Make the decisions of the Board available on a public domain. Exception could be made for confidential matters regarding future growth or an individual employee or finance issues.
Government and institutions have to work together
It is time that institutions and government consider coming together to create a governance code which enhances stakeholders' confidence. This code, besides requiring compliance, should encourage and reward institutions for going beyond minimum norms of disclosure.
The new education policy should create an institutional mechanism which encourages all stakeholders to create a shared understanding of governance.

I have lost track of how many summits, working groups, task forces and committees are currently underway to reinvent London. There's the one on growing the economy, and one on improving governance, another on fixing downtown. There's the Investment and Economic Prosperity Committee of council in the works. Someone wanted a separate multicultural economic summit. A press conference was held to herald an industry opinion on the value of developing the land around the 401 right now.
But despite all the rhetoric, the unemployment rate doesn't seem to be going down. In fact, according to Statistics Canada's most recent releases, things are getting worse in London and environs which includes hard hit St. Thomas and other parts of Elgin and Middlesex County. In the past year, about 8,300 jobs have been lost in the area and more losses are to come, especially when Ford Talbotville shuts down next month.
All this has been rather hard on the current mayor who campaigned on a promise of 10,000 new jobs over four (or maybe five) years while keeping tax increases at zero. So when the most recent figures came out last week, Mayor Fontana decided it was time to take action. He called for another summit.
He invited all the "partners". This time he included federal Conservatives along with provincial Liberals. After all, the federal election is over, the Conservatives gained seats in London, and Diamond Aircraft managed to find enough money to recall some of its laid off workers without the benefit of the government loan Fontana and his Liberal friends were touting prior to the election. Fortunately, all the provincial partners are Liberals, so no need to invite any other parties with other perspectives to the table. Good thing too, with a provincial election right around the corner.
Then there were the development industry partners: the London Development Institute, the Homebuilders, the London and St. Thomas Real Estate Board and the industry unions represented by the building trades. Also there was Gerry McCartney representing the Chamber of Commerce, Peter White of the London Economic Development Corporation, Marilyn Sinclair of TechAlliance, John Winston of Tourism London, and a couple of people from the nonprofit sector who are trying to figure out how to help people get jobs or do without them.
I didn't attend. I had planned to do so but when I learned that the whole two hours would be live streamed by the London Free Press, I thought, Great! No problem with a rundown battery in my laptop because there is almost no access to a power source at city hall. And then too, I have the habit of making editorial comments to anyone who will listen at these kinds of events, something that is not always appreciated. Much better to watch on my computer, coffee at my side.
Even on the small screen I discerned that the mood was distinctly upbeat, surprising for such a sombre occasion. Lots of handshakes, a hand on the shoulder, smiles and laughter all around. A half dozen or so councillors were present, not enough to constitute a majority. Had more than 50% attended, it would have become an official council meeting which requires appropriate public notice. Failure to follow the notification protocol would make it an illegal meeting.
If those who did attend had hoped to have an opportunity to weigh in on the issue, they were to be disappointed. The invited guests used all the time available and then some. There was no opportunity for the public or the municipal politicians, other than the mayor, to participate.
The mayor used the occasion to indicate his intention to seek re-election. In five years, London would be Canada's most prosperous city and he would be right there (in the mayor's chair). Unless, of course, council decides that the mayor's chair, and theirs too, should be located in a new city hall. That's an example of the kind of aside I am likely to make at these events.
The meeting had been billed as an opportunity for brainstorming for the good ideas which would lift London out of its economic doldrums, but the specific suggestions for doing this were few and far between. The politicians of both stripes and colours congratulated themselves and each other for the wonderful job they were doing, what each level of government had done for the city of London, the benefits of stimulus funding, low corporate taxes, the job creation powers of the HST, the cash injection into health care, the gas tax money flowing to the municipality, $7M handed over to a private business, $40M for interchanges at the 401. London is the best city in the world and they don't care who knows it.
That last sentiment was a common refrain among politicians and business alike; we need to toot our own horns a bit more. Let the world know how great London is. Have a presence along the 401. You can't see the Forest City for the trees.
But great things are happening in London, according to the mayor. Two call centres are hiring. And just today—and this wasn't planned, it just happened-- two young fellows from Toronto came to town to announce that they are bringing a successful business model to London. They will need warehouse space and are looking to hire up to 100 people for ExpressPlus, a logistics and custom brokers business (aka courier service). They are looking for drivers at, as they acknowledged in an interview after the meeting, minimum wage.
CAW Local 27 president Tim Carrie is not impressed. He doesn't want to rain on anyone's parade, but he points out that the 9.1% unemployment rate doesn't count those not covered by Employment Insurance and it doesn't acknowledge underemployment. He wants to know what types of jobs are being created. What's the point of having a job and still having to go to the foodbank? Call centre jobs and courier services don't pay rent or allow parents to send their kids to university or let families buy a house. His union tried to work with the employers to maintain jobs but the high dollar and transportation costs made it impossible. Free trade has resulted in bargaining our way to the bottom, he claims, and it's not good for the community.We can't compete with wages in Mexico.
Carrie doesn't think low corporate taxes will help the situation. "I've never had an employer say we can't stay because of the taxes," he points out.
Retraining is important but to make it effective requires appropriate income supports. People still have to be able to look after their families. But "call centres and temp agencies are getting government kickbacks that should be going into workers' pockets," he alleges.
Carrie gets a strong round of applause from the audience. I've known him for a long time but his ability to get to "cut through the crap" and tell it like it is, directly and sincerely, never fails to impress. His message resonates even with those who have little use for unions.
There are few others who provide as succint a message. Most are there to praise their industry or company, to show what a tremendous contribution they make, and how they should be supported through less red tape and lower taxes, rates and charges. Some nonprofits who deal with helping the unemployed would like greater clarity on what skills will be needed for the jobs of the future when they don't know what the jobs will be or who will be providing them.
At the end of two hours, very little of a concrete nature has been offered to address the crisis that precipitated the summit. The mayor suggested that the Chamber of Commerce's 1200 members should each commit to hiring 1 person this year but, as Gerry McCartney pointed out later, if that were profitable they would have already done so. Several saw direct involvement in international trade as the way to go; the mayor announced a trade delegation to China planned for this fall. And by September, Council's new Investment and Economic Prosperity Committee will be launched.
Just in time to deal with the fallout from the closure of Ford Talbotville.

Our findings provide a mechanistic role of BIN1 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD), as a novel genetic regulator of BACE1 (zeige BACE Antikörper) levels and Ab production
Data demonstrate that EHBP1L1 links Rab8 (zeige RAB8A Antikörper) and the Bin1-dynamin (zeige DNM1 Antikörper) complex, which generates membrane curvature and excises the vesicle at the endocytic recycling compartment for apical transport.
Findings show how cardiac deficiency in Bin1 function causes age- and stress-associated heart failure suggesting that Bin1 is a positive modifier of cardiac contractility that helps sustain adult heart function under stress conditions.
Reorganization of BIN1-induced microdomains recruits phosphorylated ryanodine receptors into dyads, increasing calcium signaling.
Bin1 mAb reduced colitis morbidity in mice while unprotected mice were characterized by severe lesions throughout the mucosa, rupture of lymphoid follicle, high-level neutrophil and lymphocyte infiltration into the mucosal areas, loss of surface crypts.
The release of BIN1 from hypo-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated E2F1 (zeige E2F1 Antikörper) is a mechanism by which serum starvation promotes E2F1 (zeige E2F1 Antikörper)-induced apoptosis.

This gene encodes several isoforms of a nucleocytoplasmic adaptor protein, one of which was initially identified as a MYC-interacting protein with features of a tumor suppressor. Isoforms that are expressed in the central nervous system may be involved in synaptic vesicle endocytosis and may interact with dynamin, synaptojanin, endophilin, and clathrin. Isoforms that are expressed in muscle and ubiquitously expressed isoforms localize to the cytoplasm and nucleus and activate a caspase-independent apoptotic process. Studies in mouse suggest that this gene plays an important role in cardiac muscle development. Alternate splicing of the gene results in ten transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Aberrant splice variants expressed in tumor cell lines have also been described.

Hello, I have a little problem using your Tag Toolbar extension. In the tag toolbar the tag buttons doesn't appear like buttons!
They only do if I hang the mouse pointer over them.
Any ideas to solve the problem?
I use thunderbird under debian linux (icedove 22.214.171.124 with italian langpack).
Extensions loaded:
AboutConfig 0.6
Quicktext 0.9.9.9
Tag Toolbar 0.7.70
XNote 2.1.0
Disabling all extensions except yours doesn't help.
Thanks in advance!

It seems that the addon custmizes the original send functionality and the behavior is different from the default. It is difficult to support such addon-specific problem.

Find out why a Claflin education is more than a means to a degree.
The best way to get a feel for Claflin is to visit us.
Claflin students work with the best leaders in their fields.
You'll find endless opportunities here to get involved.
There is always something happening at Claflin!
Claflin is #1 in alumni giving among all HBCUs, thanks to you.
From the launch of Claflin Online to the opening of Claflin Commons, this was a banner year for Claflin University. We invite you to take a look back with us at just some of the highlights from 2014.
For their 20 years of service to Claflin University, Orangeburg County and the state of South Carolina, President Henry N. Tisdale and First Lady Alice Carson Tisdale each received the state's highest civilian honor – the Order of the Palmetto – during September's Visionary Leadership Gala in Columbia honoring all 20-year-plus employees of the University.
"It truly is a great day in South Carolina when we can honor two amazing individuals," South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said during her video presentation honoring the pair. "We were blessed the day Dr. Tisdale decided to come back to his alma mater."
Haley cited Dr. Tisdale's leadership in increasing the University's enrollment by some 85 percent and establishing a number of new degrees and programs at Claflin. She credited Mrs. Tisdale with the accomplishments made in the University's honors program, which bears her name.
Haley said Dr. and Mrs. Tisdale's partnership is one "like no other."
"I personally am proud to say that Michael and I consider them both friends," she continued. "Dr. Tisdale was a part of my transition team … and his leadership was instrumental. Mrs. Tisdale serves on the mansion commission … and we are so grateful for her service there.
"What do you do for a dynamic duo that has done so much for our community and our state? We give them each the highest civilian honor in the state of South Carolina – the Order of the Palmetto. … Thank you for all you've done for Claflin University, Orangeburg County and the state of South Carolina. You continue to make us proud every day. God bless."
The Order of the Palmetto is the state's highest civilian honor awarded to citizens of South Carolina for extraordinary lifetime service and achievements of national or statewide significance. It was first presented in 1971 by Gov. John C. West, and comes in the form of a certificate or plaque that reads, in part, "In grateful recognition of your contributions and friendship to the State of South Carolina and her people, I do hereby confer unto you the Order of the Palmetto with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto."
Since its inception, more than 3,500 individuals have received the Order of the Palmetto. Some of the more well-known recipients are singer James Brown, author Pat Conroy, tap dancer Clayton "Peg Leg" Bates and civil rights activist Septima Clark.
Claflin University alumni giving percentage increased nearly 10 percentage points in 2013, from 43 percent to 52.2 percent. The percentage places Claflin's alumni giving rate among the best in the nation.
"We have always been proud of the support we receive from our alumni," said Rev. Whittaker V. Middleton, vice president for Institutional Advancement at Claflin. "A few years ago, we started the 1st to 50 Campaign to become the first historically black college or university to reach a 50 percent alumni giving rate. We have received an overwhelming response, and can now say we are the First to 52.2.
The journey to 52.2 percent was a strategic one, Middleton said, that involved strengthening existing initiatives, embarking on new ones, embracing new technology, collaborating with the alumni association, involving communications and marketing staff, and solid leadership.
Achieving an alumni giving percentage rate over 50 percent is a difficult feat given the culture of alumni giving at colleges and universities nationwide. In a 2013 two-year comparative survey of the top 10 colleges where alumni give back conducted by U.S. News and World Report, giving percentages range from a high of 63.7 percent to 51.8 percent. Of the top 10, nine were liberal arts colleges. The average two-year average percentage of alumni donors for the 1,207 schools surveyed was 12.8. The average for the top 10 schools was 55.9 percent.
Claflin University continues to be recognized among the nation's leading institutions by esteemed and reputable organizations. In a recent development, the University has been chosen one of nine historically black colleges and universities nationwide to help the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation set about transforming higher education.
Claflin University has been awarded a $75,000 grant through the foundation's HBCUs Pursuing Transformative Change initiative, which challenges institutions to develop transformative changes that will ensure student access and success at institutions in the 21st century. The University has met with representatives from the foundation to demonstrate first-hand how Claflin has transformed itself into one of the nation's premier liberal arts institutions and its plans for the future in regards to the foundation's initiative.
"We are charged with working with other leading universities throughout the nation to create the future of higher education," President Henry N. Tisdale said. "We are excited to be recognized by the Gates Foundation for our continuous work in realizing our vision, which is to be recognized as one of the premier undergraduate teaching and research universities in the world that prepares effective and visionary leaders with global perspectives."
HBCUs are just one cohort in the conversation. Large state schools, two-year colleges and other institutions are also joining in the conversation to transform higher education as a whole.
It was a beautiful evening full of fellowship and entertainment honoring Dr. Henry N. Tisdale and Mrs. Alice Carson Tisdale on their 20 years of visionary leadership at Claflin University.
Also honored during the 20th Anniversary Visionary Leadership Gala at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center were employees who have provided 20 or more years of service to the institution. The event raised nearly $400,000 for student scholarships.
"Claflin University is one of the best institutions, not just in the nation, but in the world," said Clyde Bess, chairman of Claflin's Board of Visitors. "Tonight, we're granted the opportunity to celebrate visionary leadership, selfless commitment and extraordinary service."
The Tisdales have been honored with other accolades throughout the year, including serving as grand marshals in the 2014 Orangeburg County Christmas Parade this month, as well as recognition by the South Carolina General Assembly in April and selection as The Times and Democrat's 2013 People of the Year last December.
International students now have the opportunity to learn the English language and culture before beginning their journey to receive an American academic education through Claflin University's new Intensive English Language Program.
Students enrolled in Claflin's IELP will learn the pronunciation, listening, speaking, grammar, reading and writing skills needed to succeed in American universities. The curriculum, developed by the program's director Dr. Esther (Eun Jeong)Lee, will also infuse American culture into the learning process to better prepare students for success in American colleges and universities.
"The idea is for them to not just be learning English, but to actually be able to do coursework in English," said Dr. Donald Pace, interim dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. "And we hope they will stay at Claflin to continue their studies."
Through the IELP, students are offered six levels of English language training. Their placement is dependent on entry test scores. Each level includes 24 to 28 hours of intensive coursework per week, and 168 clock hours of work are required for each level.
It typically takes a year for students to complete the IELP, Lee said. Two seven-week sessions are planned for the fall and spring semesters, and one during the summer session.
Claflin University junior politics and justice studies major Emmanuel Pressley has been on a journey since before he even matriculated to Claflin. He just didn't know quite where it was leading him.
Pressley became Claflin's first-ever Harry S. Truman Scholar in April – and the only one from South Carolina this year. The Truman is a highly competitive, merit-based award offered to U.S. college students who want to go to graduate school in preparation for a career in public service.
A celebrated prize in its own right, the Truman Scholarship (known also as a "Baby Rhodes") is also considered a steppingstone to other prestigious awards, such as the Rhodes Scholarship and the Marshall Scholarship.
Pressley, who graduated as valedictorian of Hemingway High School in 2011, is one of 59 new Truman Scholars – mostly college juniors – who were selected from among 655 candidates nominated by 293 colleges and universities. He joins the ranks of many U.S. leaders already established in the field of public service, individuals such as Dr. Susan E. Rice, U.S. national security adviser and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; George Stephanopoulos, former Clinton adviser and current ABC journalist; and Janet Napolitano, former U.S. head of national security and former governor of Arizona, among many others.
A book signing and unveiling for "Torchbearers: First Ladies of Claflin University," a publication chronicling the contributions and experiences of Claflin's eight first ladies, was held in April in Ministers' Hall.
The book was commissioned by the University and written by Dr. Vermelle Jamison Johnson, former senior vice president and vice president for academic affairs at Claflin University. It is published and distributed by Claflin University Press.
A special feature at the book signing was the unveiling of official portraits of the first ladies – Laura Ann Peaslee Webster, wife of Dr. Alonzo Webster (1869-1874); Mary Locke Emery Cooke, wife of Dr. Edward Cooke (1874-1884); Mary E. Phelps Dunton, wife of Dr. Lewis Marion Dunton (1884-1922); Gertrude Ramsey Randolph, wife of Dr. Joseph Benjamin Randolph (1922-1945), the University's first African-American president; Opal McDonald Seabrook, wife of Dr. John Jarvis Seabrook (1945-1955), Claflin's first alumni president; Dr. Ethel Augusta Braynon Manning, wife of Dr. Hubert Vernon Manning (1956-1984); Ethel Lewis Rogers, wife ofDr. Oscar A. Rogers Jr. (1984-1994); and Alice Carson Tisdale, wife of current president Dr. Henry N. Tisdale, who began serving as the University's first alumni lay president in 1994.
The Claflin University women's volleyball team defeated Kentucky State 3-1 (25-17, 25-15, 22-25, 25-15) to capture the 2014 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) title. With the win, the Lady Panthers improved to 23-12 on the season and will receive the conference's automatic berth in the NCAA Division II Championships. This is the first SIAC Championship for Claflin University.
Head Coach Vernell Keitt-Capers was named the tournament Most Outstanding Coach, and seniors Chelcey Foster and Caleen Hawkins were named the Most Valuable Player and Most Outstanding Setter of the tournament, respectively. Foster and Lydia Wise were named to the All-Tournament Team.
Claflin University's Department of Music has been approved for full membership by the Commission on Accreditation of the National Association of Schools of Music.
"This is a major academic achievement, and I want to express appreciation to Dr. Isaiah McGee for his leadership, to the music faculty for its contribution and to all other individuals who formed the team that guided us to this successful conclusion," President Dr. Henry N. Tisdale said. "We can be proud of another step forward in our effort to achieve excellence in all that we do for our students."
NASM, founded in 1924, is an organization of schools, conservatories, colleges and universities with nearly 650 accredited institutional members that establishes national standards for music programs. Institutional membership is gained only through accreditation.
Claflin University has been an associate member of NASM since 2004.
In an effort to continue and expand its tradition of access and success, Claflin University launched three fully online degree programs for the fall 2014 semester, starting with bachelor's degrees in criminal justice and organizational management and the Master of Business Administration.
Students who already possess some college credits may be able to complete the undergraduate degree programs in as little as 18 months. The courses are designed to be flexible to meet the needs of busy, working adults.
Classes range from general education courses such as English, math and Spanish to program-specific courses including Introduction to Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Systems in the criminal justice degree program and Principles of Management and Accounting in the organizational management degree program. Both the organizational management and MBA programs at Claflin are internationally accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs, the organization that recognizes national and international business schools.
Claflin Online launched during the summer 2014 session.
Claflin University has stepped up its green efforts and invites the campus community to take a more active role in helping the environment.
In September, under the theme "Your future is orange, maroon and GREEN," the University unveiled new exterior recycling bins bearing the Panther logo campus-wide; trash bins with green lids designated for recyclables among the black bins across campus; recycling bins for paper, plastic and aluminum in each residence hall; and plans for a one-stop recycling center behind the Dining Center.
Claflin students play a vital role in collecting and sorting the recyclables. Teams of student volunteers are assigned to the task several days a week.
"We are building on our previous work and taking our campus' green efforts to the next level," President Henry N. Tisdale said. "This is our commitment to the future of Claflin University, the state and the world. We need the entire Claflin community to help us in this worthwhile endeavor."
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for Claflin University's new contemporary residence hall during Homecoming Week on November 21 at the building on Goff Avenue.
Opened for occupancy in September, the 64,000 square foot facility – which establishes a new gateway to the campus from Goff Avenue – is comprised of two three-story wings, one each for men and women, with accommodations for approximately 200 students in two- and four-bedroom suites. Each wing features its own elevator, laundry room, computer lab and informal study areas. The wings are connected by a shared student commons area that also serves as the main entry to the building.
Open gathering spaces, high ceilings, lots of natural light, a small multipurpose room for student meetings and two fitness rooms add to the overall appeal of the Commons. New plazas and courtyards provide additional outdoor gathering spaces for students. The building was designed with environmental stability in mind by Lord, Aeck & Sargent Architecture. It makes use of natural daylight and energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems that aid in reducing the consumption of electricity and gas. High-efficiency plumbing fixtures also reduce water consumption, and regional and recycled materials were used in the building's construction, helping to conserve natural resources.
Claflin broke ground on the new student housing complex in September 2013.
Claflin is celebrating its 145th anniversary during the 2014-15 academic year with a series of events and activities that are characteristic of the academic, artistic and service excellence that flourish at the University.
These events commemorate Claflin's longtime legacy of offering, for the first time in South Carolina, quality higher education for men and women "regardless of race, complexion, or religious opinion," with "the only admission requirements for prospective students being the possession of good moral character and a conscientious desire to learn."
Kicking off the series of events was an appearance by world-renowned poet, writer, commentator, activist and educator Nikki Giovanni on October 16.
"For 145 years, Claflin University has honored its rich traditions while embracing and pursuing transformative change," President Dr. Henry N. Tisdale said. "The University has overcome many challenges to become recognized as one of the nation's leading institutions of higher education. It has a compelling story of access and success."
Hundreds of high school and college-age students were on the Claflin University campus in October to be empowered with knowledge and skills to be successful in college and beyond during the UNCF Empower Me Tour Presented by Wells Fargo.
The Tour – a free, traveling college-and career-readiness road show sponsored by the country's largest and most effective minority education organization – is designed for underserved students in grades 9 through 12 and their parents, as well as educators, college students and administrators, college graduates and the community at large, to participate in a full day of exhibits, college and career workshops, and engaging panel discussions with special guests and celebrities.
During the Tour, educators and entrepreneurs shared their personal educational journeys with local high school and college students through workshops on such topics as money management, professional portfolios and self-esteem. Attendees also participated in the Empower Me Tour Zone, an interactive experience that provides students, parents and educators an opportunity to engage with college recruiters and learn about scholarship opportunities.
The world continues to rely heavily on petroleum products to power transportation and industrial needs. But the fact remains that there isn't an infinite supply of fossil fuels to supply the world's needs in the generations to come.
Enter the race for the next big energy source. Claflin University biology professor Dr. Omar Bagasra – with Dr. Verlie Tisdale, dean of the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at Claflin, and associate biology professor Dr. Kamal Chowdhury – was awarded a patent in October 2013 for the development of a microorganism that will make it easier to transform cellulose biomass into butanol.
Bagasra said this genetically engineered microorganism would allow trees, shrubbery, paper, pulp, sugarcane bagasse, plants, woodchips and other natural products – basically all biological garbage – to be more easily converted into butanol, which can then be used to power our vehicles without having to replace or modify engines.
Eleven teams of students entered Claflin University's own version of "Shark Tank" when they present their business proposals and ideas at the University's first-ever Entrepreneurship Business Competition in February.
Like the popular ABC television show, teams of two to four undergraduate interdisciplinary students who have been working on and perfecting their projects since September will outline plans, offer analyses and prototypes, and showcase their marketing ingenuity for a panel of judges. Those judges will then decide which five teams have the most viable business ideas and will share $10,000 in prize money.
Projects range from high-tech products to those in the service industry. There's a new nutrition drink, apps and clothing lines. Winning teams will have the opportunity to be mentored and take their ideas to the next level.
Each team had 15 minutes to give its multimedia presentation to the judges. Judging the competition were retired real estate entrepreneur and rancher Joseph Sanders, New York-based entertainment lawyer Johan S. Powell, CEO and founder of Education Through Talent Gwendolyn Chisolm, and S.C. Manufacturing Extension Partnership President and CEO John Irion.
InstaPrintz, a program that would allow users to make mobile "printures," won the competition. As the winner, the four-person team – comprised of students Maame Addo, Michael Devore, Brandolyn Mack and Linh Tong – received the $5,000 grand prize.
The leaders of Claflin University and the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice have put pen to paper for an agreement that grants DJJ employees greater access to several of Claflin's degree programs.
According to the memorandum of understanding signed by Claflin President Dr. Henry N. Tisdale and DJJ Director Margaret H. Barber in July, Department of Juvenile Justice employees have the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or organizational management or Master of Business Administration degree from the University beginning fall 2014.
Courses will be offered via video conferencing at regional DJJ sites across the state as well as onsite in the Palmetto Conference Room at DJJ headquarters in Columbia. General education and prerequisite courses will also be available through Claflin Online, the University's latest initiative that offers busy, working adults and current students more flexibility in achieving their educational goals.
DJJ employees who take advantage of this opportunity are eligible for Claflin University's Partnership Scholarship Program, which will provide a 30 percent reduction in the University's standard tuition per semester for those enrolled in one of the undergraduate programs and a 10 percent tuition reduction for those enrolled in the MBA program. Additional scholarship opportunities are available for those who qualify.

The first map, from 1897, shows which nations had responsibility for controlling which areas during the early stages of the European naval blockade of Crete. Germany didn't take a major part in the blockade since she had only one small warship on station and both Austro-Hungary and Germany withdrew form the Concert of Europe and the Cretan Intervention in March/April 1898.
The second map shows the division of the island between the remaining four Powers in April 1898.
From left to right the areas of responsibility are: Selinos: Italian, Rethymnon: Russian, Candia (Iraklion) British and Lassithi; French. The then capital of Crete, Canea, and Suda Bay were under joint multi-national control.

Wings? Eh?
I mean it would just be too easy to think birds, butterflies and bumble bees wouldn't it? Maybe I should go down the man-made aeronautical route instead? But then a song crept into the depths of my imagination and an idea was born.
This particular song was the first in the UK to ever sell more than two million copies. It was number 1 for 9 weeks and is probably sung by every tourist visiting this distant outpost of the British Isles. It is of course Mull of Kintyre by the group 'Wings' - see, I told you I wasn't thinking along normal lines!!
My collage sort of looks like a photograph I saw of the mist rolling in through the sea.. my desire is always to be here oh Mull of Kintyre....I'm sure the house may be a slight exaggeration to the one owned by Mr McCartney though. I doubt even he would have been granted planning permission (he has made his mark in the clouds though... look closely!).
This definitely looks better when viewed from a distance. I might paint over part of it to help with the illusion of distance. Lots of fun though.

It looks mighty good to me. I love your blend of words and images.ReplyDelete
That's a damn good bit of malarky, methinks. I like it.ReplyDelete
LOve, love, love this!!!! Creative thinking, and VERY creative collage. Will be singing this all day now.ReplyDelete
This is great,Lisa.ReplyDelete
Wow...this is brilliant! And can I just also say thankyou for your support this past week over at my blog...it meant a lot to me xxxReplyDelete
It looks like you had fun with this art work.ReplyDelete
Very creative, both the artwork and the way you tied it to the challenge. Keep on with the collage!ReplyDelete
Very clever interpretation of the 'Wings' theme that has a feathery feel in the way it's layered I think! Great post as well - I love the witty way you write :-)ReplyDelete
Kat Xx
Well Lisa. I give you credit for the most original outside the box thinking this week. And kudos for introducing me to "Wings" and "Mull of Kintyre." I obviously never visited your island and have never heard the song. I also didn't know that Paul McCartney belonged to a group called Wings. For some reason, I thought he was a Beatle (grin on this last part). Seriously, I must live in a cave! I had NO idea about any of this till the very end.ReplyDelete
What a CLEVER interpretation- I LOVE it!ReplyDelete
Love your post. Your creation is amazing. Love the way you have torn the pieces and the placement gives even more depth to your piece. Very nice.ReplyDelete
Love your collage...ReplyDelete
Ha, ha, brilliant interpretation and now I have that song stuck in my head too. Love your collage.ReplyDelete
I love those cottony clouds...the whole thing, actually. So much to look at!ReplyDelete
I was never a big fan of Wings, so I've not heard that song. I'm going to listen to it :)
Alright, I'm back. I did like that so much, I guess it was not played much here in the US. Or maybe I was just living under a rock? I confess I have a fondness for bagpipes too, so there you go :)ReplyDelete
Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, I truly am loving your collage and I own the song and listen to it on my IPod. The real wings here I think are on YOU,ReplyDelete
one who flys outside the box! Keep flying dahling.....great job!
Love it Lisa - very creative take on the theme, I like your thinking outside the box! And wow that song takes me back lol! xReplyDelete
The work involved in that piece....the patience! Oy!ReplyDelete

I've worked within the hvac industry since 1995, I've labored on all method of air-con and heating systems commonly found in the great state of Texas, and belief me, in Texas-air-con techs have a lot to do, and a short while wherein to get it finished. When you hire a reputable heating & air conditioning firm to offer this service, you not solely have warmth once more, you've got the peace of mind that knowledgeable HVAC company is standing behind you. If you would like good tips about hold an HVAC in good working order, then the following article will do just that. Skilled HVAC technicians make the locations the place you live and work stay heat in winter and funky in summer. You ought to be sure you change the air filter of your HVAC system as soon as every six months.
Predictive maintenance is the technique to find out the situation of machine by sensing, measuring instruments and so forth. One of the key tendencies within the business is towards good controls" in both residential and business HVAC systems. Scam: The technician will tell you that the oil residue is an impending failure, requiring intensive work or new components.
I am writing to use for the grocery store refrigeration technician marketed within the site As requested, I am enclosing a accomplished job utility, my certification, my CV and one reference. They additionally as part of the calculations realized that they could not pass three.0 with the two zone setup that they used beforehand and needed to reengineer all the HVAC system to work as a 1 zone system. HVAC system value might differ for various functions as heating and cooling space or setting varies.
Your on-line HVAC training includes quite a few virtual area trips, necessary tips and advised actions designed to boost your studying experience. The Philippine Society of Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigerating Engineers (PSVARE) together with Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers (PSME) govern on the codes and requirements for HVAC / MVAC within the Philippines.
It is a sensible information designed to encourage these working with the maintenance and operation of HVAC programs to focus on enhancing energy and water efficiency. If you need to save money once a new HVAC system is put in place, you'll want to decide ENERGY STAR rated merchandise to make use of. An HVAC system is a key component to any home, and if it goes bad on you then it can be a major problem.

Okay so I don't remember what they're called. I'll get the name later (It did begin with a "ce"). Whatever it was I ordered, it was pumpkin and it was served warm, mixed with local cheese, and in a bakalava kind of pastry. It was a bit greesey....a little sweet...eastern european food. yumm
For dinner last night, since we never eat traditional meals, we ate at the hotel again. Lauren and I had the vegetarian and we got two different things. There's always cabbage, but this time, they gave me an extremem amount of tomatoes.
Tomatoes in the salad. Lauren didn't want her tomatoes (grape or cherry served cooked, still on the vine). Extra, random tomato salad that came halfway through the meal. Don't forget the tomatoes that came as a garnish with my meal of grilled vegetables, rice, and steamed broccoli and cauliflour.
Desert was this fantastic mound of candied pear filled with crushed nuts and topped with a cherry! Uh, I'm salvatating.
Lunch was similar to the day before. I ordered another baklava-looking thing but this one was cut in strips of about 10cm. For 2KM (like, 1euro) and 250kilos, I got them filled with spinich and cheese.
I love food prices here because it allows me to buy more stuff that matters, like turkish scarves and honey. hehehe

beautyNow with the summer heat starting to kick in, I have been rocking the "au naturel" look pretty much everyday and focusing more on skincare. It has been blazing hot with temperatures in the high 90s here in South Carolina, I guess that's why Columbia known for being "Famously Hot". For the month of July, I discovered new favorites as well as rediscovered old favorites.
July Beauty FavoritesAugust 4, 2014
Laura Mercier Mineral Powder SPF 15
This is probably one of my favorite beauty discoveries this year. I have been debating on whether to switch from liquid to powder foundation for quite sometime because I used to love my HG Neutrogena Mineral Powder Foundation. I like the easy of application because the superfine loose mineral powder blends seamlessly onto the skin. The color that I used is Natural Beige - warm beige for light/medium skin tones. Whenever I wear this foundation, I usually forget that I'm wearing foundation (which is perfect for the scorching summer weather). And not to mention, the SPF 15 is a nice added bonus.
Marc Jacobs Fragrance DAISY
This fragrance is prefect for anytime of the year. I especially love using it during the warmer months. Daisy is the original fragrance from the entire Marc Jacobs Daisy Fragrances, now I feel like there's a new Daisy Fragrance that comes out every season. According to the fragrance description, it has notes of strawberry, violet leaves, ruby red grapefruit, gardenia, violet petals, jasmine petals, musk, vanilla and white woods. Daisy is fresh/light and not too heavy for the warm weather.
CLINIQUE Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
"Moisturizing gel" just sounds like perfection for my combination skin. I started using this product over a year and a half ago and have not found anything that compares. This moisturizer is perfect for any weather, anytime and anywhere. I love using it in the morning and night after washing my face. The light gel texture works really well under makeup as well.
Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 42
Shiseido is one of those glamorous brands (or at least in my opinion). Their products never fail me, and it doesn't stop with this sunscreen. The Shiseido Suncare product line is one of my favorites, so I decided to pick up this Urban Environment Oil-Free Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 42. The super runny consistency makes it easy to apply and dries flawlessly in seconds. It is definitely one of my summer must haves!
Evian Mineral Water Facial Spray
This ultra fine pure mist is so refreshing during these warmer months. I love the travel 50ml size because I can take it with me literally everywhere. I bought pack of two from Sephora for $14.00 ($7.00 each). Yes, I do realize that it's kind of pricey for a can of water, but it's so much more than that! The Evian website says, "Its unique mineral balance and neutral pH makes Evian Facial Spray the perfect freshen-upper for all skin types. The millions of tiny micro-droplets are instantly absorbed, moisturizing the upper layers of hot thirsty skin, any time anywhere." It is the perfect skin treat whether I'm out and about or chilling at home with little Casper.

An important bra man has announced his decision to bin five million quids worth of fancy t-shirts, it has emerged. The binning is to constitute a protest about things not being as good as they were back in the old days when everything was better than it is now, not least the Sex Pistols who haven't made a decent record since 1978, and even that one was really bad. The important bra man, noted for being knicker-designing spawn of some bloke who failed to discover the next Bay City Rollers and Margaret Thatcher from an alternate universe in which she rose to fame by making a pair of trousers with the words fuck and off daringly printed down consecutive legs rather than by shitting all over the working classes, opined yesterday that the pop hit parade charts are shit and that his dangerous revolutionary dad would be ashamed of us with our Taylor Swift and stars churned out like processed peas on episodes of the X-Files. 'Many of the t-shirts are rare collector's editions made by our mam,' he explained. 'One of them has got a picture of Charles Manson's cock on it, which is very dangerous and subversive because it challenges our preconceptions, and because no-one knows it's Charles Manson's cock, and they think it's probably just some normal penis. It would be worth a mint on eBay.' Nevertheless, despite his collection being worth a packet, the millionaire bra man has made a decision to bravely and daringly chuck the lot, he explained at an international press conference yesterday, or possibly the day before.
So that's us told.
