A high-profile test of affirmative action policy will begin on Monday in a federal courtroom in Boston as Harvard University defends its use of race in its admissions policy.
The school puts a priority on diversity in its student enrollment, but the nonprofit organization Students for Fair Admissions filed a lawsuit contending that a cap on the number of Asian-Americans admitted is discriminatory. The case is being closely observed by opponents of affirmative action, and its result could limit race-conscious admissions in other schools.
Instead of a jury, Judge Allison Dale Burroughs will decide if Harvard's admissions policies violate federal civil rights law.
Students for Fair Admissions is composed largely of Asian-Americans who were rejected for admission by Harvard, which annually accepts about 1,600 students from a pool of 42,000 applicants. The group contends that Harvard systematically rejects qualified Asian-American applicants to maintain illegal racial quotas.
The organization is led nationally by Edward Blum, who has funded challenges to affirmative action at other colleges.
The trial is expected to last three weeks, and will include testimony from several Harvard administrators, including William Fitzsimmons, the school's longtime dean of admissions. Fitzsimmons is a proponent of a holistic approach to selection, which includes consideration of extracurricular activities and formative experiences. The model is used by many other colleges.
Six years of Harvard admissions data are expected to be presented in court, including closely guarded secrets related to its selection methodology. Examples of student applications and messages sent between Harvard admissions officials, normally held private, could become public in the testimony. The evidence may shed light on how the school judges applicants and makes decisions regarding enrollment, the campus newspaper Harvard Crimson reported.
Nearly all evidence to be presented in court, with certain exceptions, such as students' names on applications, will become part of the public record, Burroughs ruled in an Oct. 3 pretrial hearing.

University of Iowa
#1 Colleges with the Best Student Life in Iowa
- 4 Year
- Iowa City, IA
- 3,258 reviews
Freshman: As a freshman at the University of Iowa, I can say that I have already been enveloped into a welcoming and cultural community. I love the University of Iowa because it provides many opportunities for all of its students by providing hundreds of clubs, nice facilities, and programs that lead students in the right direction for their future. Not only is Iowa interested in creating a great academic life, they strive to make extracurricular activities a community ordeal. Game days never fail to fill the streets and stands with thousands of Hawkeye fans, making a Big 10 school feel like a smaller community. I will always be grateful that I chose the University of Iowa to study my major. Go Hawks!

#2 Colleges with the Best Student Life in Iowa

- Ames, IA
- 3,568 reviews
Senior: I love Iowa State University! It has a daunting list of possibilities for majors, minors, and extracurricular, is a very affordable price when compared to other schools, and when specializing, the options are very well taught. I have yet to run into a teacher I can't get help with, and there are options galore for help in every subject. It is easy to change/add/drop classes/majors/minors, the advisers are knowledgeable, and there are many chances for about everything. The slogan "It's your adventure", is very true! People here are very supportive/helpful. There are safe rides home if you feel uncomfortable for any reason and advisories whenever something happens.
Most classes hold students to high standards, but are also relatable enough to not slough off the unfortunate struggling students. Campus is gorgeous, clubs and activities are numerous, and I believe I will be very successful in life thanks to ISU.

Sophomore: My first year was an amazing wild ride! I am great friends with my roommates, I loved my music classes, and even found an interest in Norwegian. Luther College offers lots of different classes that expand on your learning and education. They also have wonderful and excellent staff! All of the professors want to know every single one of their students and they want them to succeed. The only thing I would like to see change is more availability in classes. The classes fill up extremely fast, so if you don't have an early registration time you don't have high chances of getting in the classes you want.

Sophomore: I have had a great experience at the University of Northern Iowa so far! They have opportunities for everyone! The student organizations are a great way to meet people and gain experiences that are hard to find elsewhere. The campus size is great! It is big enough to feel like you are getting the college experience but small enough that the walk to class is typically at most 10 minutes. The on campus living is also wonderful! I have made lots of great connections with students and faculty at this organization!

Freshman: When I first stepped on campus I felt like I was at home. The faculty is so welcoming and they make you feel like you are apart of the bee family. Davenport, IA has so much to do in a close vicinity. The walks on campus didn't take over 10 minutes to reach the other side of campus. Walking around on campus feels very safe during the day and at night. St. Ambrose is an extremely friendly environment, from the professors to athletic coaches. My experience at St. Ambrose has been positive and impactful every time I am on campus. I am so glad I chose St. Ambrose to further my career and cannot wait until I begin classes!

Senior: I knew little about Drake University until I was recruited at a College night at my high school. I decided to visit and I was immediately impressed by the way I felt accepted and wanted by all I met. After some discussion with my parents and some promise of scholarship money to make it more affordable, I made the decision to attend. For me, I can not imagine any place better for me than Drake. I never have felt ignored or taken for granted. When I needed help it was always provided. I got better at college every semester. I have loved it here and would recommend this University to anyone. It's Great to be a Bulldog!

Clarke is very academically oriented, but still boasts a school population with the vast majority being student-athletes. This perpetuates a competitive environment in both academics and athletics so that not only professors are supporting you, but teammates and coaches as well. Being a small school, you see a lot of the same people every day so its very easy to get comfortable and get to know people in the community.

The staff are super willing to help out in anyway to help with your personal success. The accessible resources on campus are super helpful, which can range from personal need to school need. I'm addition to the staff, all of the students on campus are friendly and inviting! There's never any hesitation to talk to anyone or even ask questions. There's a lot of cultural involvement at Garnd View including that of an organization from one of the staff members. Aside from the academic side of campus and the resources, the dormitory aspect of campus is more of the hangout place. While it is an area to get work done, it's the spot at the end of the day for everyone to hang out, take naps, and just relax.

"Ultimately evil is done not so much by evil people, but by good people who do not know themselves and who do not probe deeply."
― Reinhold Niebuhr
― Reinhold Niebuhr
One thing I learned as I traveled and got close with people from other countries was that I had an ingrained sense of moral superiority as an American. I always assumed, more or less, that I was the good guy in world affairs. Some might call this patriotism. But whatever you call it, it's how we were raised and what we were taught. We spread democracy. We lead the world in equality and women's rights. We promote freedom and the ability to "make it" fairly in the world. No dictatorships in America. No censorship in America. But is that the whole story?
I think this is really similar to the moral superiority complex white people have against black people. The complex that can be summed up in this phrase:
"You think black lives matter? Oh…well I think ALL lives matter."
In this sentence is so much that needs to be unpacked. The assumption that black people don't care about all lives. The fact that you are suddenly forcing black people to choose between saying black lives matter or all lives matter, trapping them. The fact that you took a movement and turned it into something divisive, and then accuse the other side of being divisive. The fact that you turned the tables so that you get to play the victim, when in fact you are the oppressor. This last one is the worst one, and it's the most common amongst Americans with the mindset I am describing.
Yes, black people get stopped by the police more. Yes, they are charged with crimes more. Yes, they are more often sent to jail. Yes they have equal rights under the law and the right to a fair trial. So your reasoning is that they must be doing bad things. But is that the whole story?
We, meaning me, and whoever else grew up in this way, need to get a reality check with this. Our country is not some sort of global saint. White people are not freakishly obedient and kind to police. We do not have more peaceful interactions with police because we are just so good. White people do not value lives higher than the rest of humanity. Americans don't value lives more than the rest of humanity. We are only looking at one side of the coin when we think like this.
This kind of thinking is so dangerous because it makes us so blind to the oppression that we are responsible for without even realizing it. You can't walk all over a foreign people in the name of democracy. You can't act like you know what's best for everyone while you dismantle their systems and force them to start from scratch. You can't ignore your county's human rights infringements and then demonize another country for their human rights infringements. When you think you are right like that, its so freaking dangerous and so infuriating for the people watching you do this. Because what it really comes down to is hypocrisy.
This is what makes me so mad about foreign affairs and about the black lives matter movement. My goal with everything I write or say or do is that I just want people to realize how blind they are to their acts of oppression, and their ability to be outraged by some events while completely ignoring others, and their insistence on playing the victim when they are the opposite. If we could just grasp this idea of subconscious moral superiority and how damaging it is, and then really internalize it and try to fix it in ourselves, I think so much would change.
In religion, when you start to believe you are better than other people, or chosen by God, or more rightly guided, that's when you fall into extremism and hypocrisy. It's the same thing in life. It's the exact same thing. God's clever like that.

I took my medicine and my son to soccer. Showered and went for a walk. Load of laundry and a nap.
It wasn't perfect and I didn't not struggle, but still it felt like a good day.
Maybe it's all in the definition.

recieved reports of really nice water and a YFT bite in the Toms canyon. I rounded up a few guys short notice and we were on our way. A great weather window allowed for a 48hr trip. upon arrival i wasnt surprised to see 80+ boats in a tight spot just south east of the tip. Radio chatter was really quiet. wasnt much going on with the YFT bite so we set out 3 sword rods in hopes of a broadbill. not a bite all night and at first lite right before we wanted to wrap up and set up on the tunies. a rod goes off and 20min later a keeper sword that just made the cut, what a fiesty fish. we set up on the water where we seen a few marks during the night. about 7am we started marking them heavy but couldent get them to bite, ended up with one 20lb yft on a jig. Time to go something else until something happens if it happens. My knowledge of the toms canyon deep dropping was near non existant with a full list of drops in the hudson i decidede to use my intuition and search for some tile without any coordinates . 450ft of water a little structure and bam. We fished that area all day andeveryfish was a monster blueline tile. Ive had bigger goldens but never these size bluelines. score! we spent the nite swordfishing with the fleet gone and the only boat left. Released 1 pup sword and missed a good bite. We decided to wrap it up with a limit of Tile. As soon as we got service i looked up the world record blueline and it was 20.4 in 2013 and most recently a 23.4 that was caught in the lindencohl.. i knew we had atleast 3 fish that could compete. We ended up with 3 fish over 20lbs one wighing in at 21.8. so close but yet so far.I think i know where that record fish is and im going after him. all in all great trip great time. tons of deliciose meat. we where using a mix of manual and electric reels and my research made me aware that IGFA disqualifies a fish caught on electric reel. Good to know!Tog open boat capt Al 929 327 9510

The stories involve individuals in every setting. A patient licks the fingers of a student during a dental procedure. A faculty member makes comments of a sexual nature to a student in a pre-clinical lab. A group of women students is told that since they "like to cook," they should enjoy the next lab activity. An employee is the target of comments about his sexual identity. A student is propositioned by her research mentor. A student's social media post about another student is embarrassing, degrading, and untrue. All are true. All occurred in dental education.
And, all too often, individuals are fearful of or discouraged from reporting the incident. Or, when harassment, whether real or perceived, is reported, there are minor or no consequences. In the classroom, clinic, research lab, and outreach sites and at professional meetings, sexual and gender harassment is occurring in dental education. Harassment is a range of behaviors, including person-to-person harassment, bullying, and ambient harassment observed by others who are not themselves the targets. Dental education becomes unhealthy when it involves these sorts of interactions among students, faculty, and employees and the patients for whom they care.
Headlines, in print and online, spotlight the impact of the #MeToo movement in giving a voice to the many students, student-athletes, faculty, administrators, and staff who experience harassment and bias in institutions of higher learning. The reports are shocking and sobering, and dental education is not immune to the behaviors that lead to these headlines. In fact, this editorial is hardly the first time the topic has been emphasized in our community. Dr. Jeanne Sinkford provided commentary and other authors discussed sexual harassment in a 1992 issue of the Journal of Dental Education—26 years ago.1
Academic dental institutions and the universities or colleges of which they are a part may point to their missions and core value statements as demonstrating who they are and what they aspire to accomplish. Words used in those statements include "respect," "collegiality," "professionalism," "ethics," "sensitivity," and "inclusivity." Unfortunately, the reality in those institutions is often contrary to the language proudly displayed on their websites. Instead, there is harassment in word and action, abuse of power, fear of retaliation, failure to act, turning a blind eye to what is being experienced, and, in some circumstances, a naiveté about what is occurring.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM)'s 2018 report on the sexual harassment of women in academic sciences, engineering, and medicine does not specifically address dentistry, but the issues identified are applicable to the oral health profession.2 The 300-page report provides information about the scope of the problem, the impact on women in science, and why academia has failed in addressing harassment. A critical point made is that harassment is about power. The report also defines actions that fall within sexual harassment including sexual coercion, unwanted sexual attention, and gender harassment. It notes that women of color experience both racial and sexual harassment. The report offers recommendations ranging from individual actions to federal policies, but it is only a beginning and should serve as an impetus for a complete overhaul of current policies and procedures that are ineffective.
Dental educators have not ignored the situation. Strategies including written policies and procedures, employee and student training, and working with Title IX and other institutional offices are common. The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Dental Faculty Code of Conduct's Statement of Expected Behaviors says, "As teachers, dental faculty members serve students. We do not engage in harassment, exploitation, illegal discrimination, embarrassment, or public disparagement of students. As members of communities of scholars, dental faculty members have responsibilities to our institutions, other faculty, and other colleagues. We do not harass, intimidate, or covertly criticize colleagues."3 Policy statements, whether from a national organization or in a dental institution, should form a foundation for action. However, if the words are not formalized and enforced, they are meaningless.
In addition to harassment, gender-based issues in dental education are being discussed—among peers, privately in offices, broadly at professional meetings—using terms like "conscious and unconscious bias," "stereotypes," "favoritism," and "lack of equal opportunity." Although few studies exist, the research on gender-based issues is gaining momentum with a recent study published in the Journal of Dental Education and another in this issue.4,5 Both report harassing and biased behavior by students and faculty, echoing some of the experiences described in the NASEM report. Stereotyping also continues. Comments that women students use their physical attractiveness or dress in a certain manner to get more assistance are often heard. Men may be accused of the same actions in dealing with women faculty. Patients may express preference for a specific gender provider based on a belief that women are gentler and men are stronger. To counter these stereotypes, institutions must commit to altering the focus from being gender-based to individual-based. Students and employees should be given relatable examples of gender bias and helped to develop the skills to address biases in a professional and respectful manner.
Publications, opinion pieces, professional development seminars, and other forums offer advice about changing the climate and culture. Yet the problem persists. It makes me think of the music icon Aretha Franklin, who recently passed away, and one of her most famous songs titled "R-E-S-P-E-C-T." This seven-letter word should be used as a foundational principle for dental educators and administrators to end organizational tolerance of harassment and gender-based bias.
To make that happen, we cannot rely merely on written policies and procedures or efforts by a Title IX officer to provide guidance. There has to be a true and unequivocal commitment to move beyond legal compliance and address culture and climate. Harassment and bias have to be simply unacceptable and not tolerated. When a confirmed violation has occurred, it must result in appropriate consequences, no matter how difficult. Efforts must include an aggressive commitment to look more deeply at elements of the hidden curriculum and workplace culture that support a climate of disrespect, which has been tolerated and ignored for too long. The task is not limited to one office or a few individuals; rather, the entire academic community must pledge to eradicate the use of unacceptable words and unacceptable actions. Institutional leaders must not waiver in their ability to make difficult decisions.
Dental education has never been reticent about attacking significant issues as part of its teaching, research, and service missions. That same energy and urgency should be applied to gender-based challenges to make dental education a model for other higher education entities. Those within academic dental institutions need to recognize that individual attitudes and behaviors must change. Those external to institutions—the public, donors, applicants, alumni—are watching, and they expect schools and programs to be accountable and proactive, rather than reactive.
The dental education climate is unhealthy for anyone experiencing harassment and bias of any type. A recommitment to creating a highly visible culture of respect for the dignity of all and the right to learn and work in an environment free of harassment and gender-based bias must be a priority. There should not be an editorial 26 years from now that addresses the same topic and laments that, still, nothing has been done.

Q&A Forwarded From Mission Guide 9/13/19 How Can I Overcome The Chimera Reality?
mission guide | 9/13/19
Q) "How the hell do we break out of this "Time Loop"??? How can we even begin to fight if we are just playing out a pre-recording?"
A) I have already shown how it is the human reptilian brain is under hypnosis. In the model this reality is supposed to mimic, you married Kim, had two kids, worked that job and then died a mind-controlled slave. Your handlers see to it you follow the same path you did in the model. I am showing you how to break that model right now. That comes from manifesting the reality that you want to see by reclaiming your authentic powers of Prime Creator god.
Your thoughts are commands, not just silly notions popping into your noodle. The aether sees and hears what it is you want to see and then goes about assembling it. That is the only thing the aether is here to do; cast manifest realities expected by manifest gods. If you do everything within your power to make your reality come true, the aether fills in the rest. It will not assist sloths who are not truly creators.
The only time you have control over your reality is when you are dictating what it is you expect to see by your creative (outside the box) thought waves (known as creative conscious awareness). And the only time you are in creative conscious awareness is when you are deliberately moving on a solid path of your own choosing. If you are following anyone and not carefully educating yourself and then making your own specific and informed plans, then you are allowing someone else to be your Prime Creator for you. This is a counterfeit life and will not be rewarded with even more powers and abilities in higher dimension. You already have more powers than you can handle in this one if this is the case.
IN ORDER TO BECOME THE PRIME CREATOR AGAIN you must bring your "wishes" into reality. In our minds, the only things that are "real" are the things we can see with our eyes. Right now. This minute. Anything else is considered illusion. If you "want" an Escalade but you earn $7.35 an hour, you haven't yet set down the foundations of how it is the aether can give you what you want. This is a team effort. That means you must start somewhere (take that FIRST STEP) toward your reality in physical form.
As soon as you PHYSICALLY WRITE DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER what it is you want to see, you now begin bringing your aetheric thoughts across the veils (from your actual awareness in the Deity Planes) and into "physical" manifestation.
The aether cannot ignore it, pass it off to another aether particle or dismiss it because you are their ONLY commander and you have set the wheels in motion to begin manifesting (creating) that reality, making it perfectly clear this is what you want.
This is the KEY to every successful person alive. You will never find a self-made millionaire or someone successful at anything who didn't take this first step. It will not happen. It is known as "The Secret" in success training. They don't know why this works; they only know that it does. I am telling you now why it works in these writings.
The aether exist at your pleasure in court parlance; meaning they only exist because you allow them to. They are your servants and at the same time are the outer cells (plasma field) of your own body. You are the aether itself, with one piece of your awareness now standing there in a holographic Avatar. You made the Avatar, you made the landscape, you hung the moon and painted the clouds into the sky. And if you wish to manifest the 4th dimension, then you will simply go about making that a reality in the physical world.
That starts by using the same tools that your captors used when they set out to create a Chimera Reality around you; they WROTE IT DOWN. Once that command was entered into the manifest side of the 3rd dimension, that now becomes the seed that your goal will grow out of (see vol 1 chapter 8 Visible Reality Field). This is the big secret behind seeds we plant in the ground; they are capsules of WRITTEN DOWN commands in physical form that states once water surrounds this seed, it will:(YOUR COMMAND HERE). It is a cellular CODE to the spacetime fabric.
And you can make your own seeds just by using a piece of paper (physical, real) and a pencil (carbon or the foundation of material manifestation) and program those words into the Time Matrix. Now all you have to do is water that seed with your intent. If you can't envision that seed growing into the tree you want it to from where you are standing (in your job where you are exchanging your honor for a few pieces of silver let's say, pumping poison gasoline that will wind up killing both the planet and your fellow fractals of god), then change your landscape.
In the end, being a creator god comes from standing in authenticity at all times. You say what is your truth, you earn your own way through honesty and you educate yourself on every single element involving that goal. If you want to see a world filled with organic food, you will plant and water organic trees. If you want to live in a community that isn't under the subjugation of a madman, you will go somewhere where there isn't a madman claiming that geographic location and you will live there. If you don't want to see your child die from poisoning, you will raise them where there are no mass murderers insisting on injecting them.
Even though this is all logical, we still cannot "see" that because we weren't programmed to see it. The 96% who never accomplish anything in this world and are buried alone with one or two friends or family members standing next to their grave site never bother looking up and thinking for themselves because of fear. Fear divides the chaff from the gods. By not having the courage to face whatever may come on your way to your goals, the also-rans perish. Only those who set out to change the world (their world) to hell with consequences ever actually manifest anything. I can promise you now, we're not here to bring forward those who refuse to take control of their lives.
By the time you have staked out your commands and chosen which hill you are now willing to die on to protect it, the aether will see your integrity, your virtue, your authenticity and because you are willing to accept personal responsibility for every single element in your life, it will hand to you what it is you have chosen as the world in which you absolutely, as a matter of fact, will live and will not take no for an answer. Period.
When the babble says the meek shall inherit the earth, what it really means is Antiparticle Tara. Creator gods will inherit the other one.

After causing a bit of a stir recently amongst her fans, Ariana has been accused of being a "diva" by several sources however "Sweet Talker" (see what we did there?) Jessie J has stepped up and said "I always say, judge a person when you meet them.I've met Ariana, and there's a very thin line between 'diva' and 'survival.' And a lot of people can't [differentiate that] — and I've had that. I've had the diva stuff. And it's when people can't cope with how passionate you are, and how much you care."
This comes after Nicki Minaj joined the two stars this summer for the number 1 hit Bang Bang (below). Jessie also added "She's super talented, she's very young, and she's very sure of what she wants. I think she's wonderful. She's great."

ARTMargins Print Volume 8, Issue 1
With the many symposia and exhibitions commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of 1968 now behind us, this first issue of 2019 asks how to historicize the art of the moment after. The articles in the current issue displace events that often serve as historical markers, asking instead how to interpret the artistic production of gradual and contradictory processes of economic modernization and political institutionalization. In so doing, they question how to reconstruct artistic tendencies and institutional norms without confirming the inevitability of the present, searching for utopian images, or trying to redeem social experiments that capital has long since assumed as its own. The topics and contexts explored in the articles in this issue serve as more than mere illustrations of failed or passing moments of political or symbolic experimentation. Rather, they function as occasions for questioning prevailing assumptions about the critical-methodological approach supposedly best suited to a given period, socio-political context, or medium.
MarkoIli´c's " 'Made in Yugoslavia': Struggles with Self Management in the New Art Practice, 1965–71" studies the socioeconomic and institutional determinations of Conceptual art in the former Yugoslavia. Ili´c offers a reading of "New Art" forms that emerged in major cultural centers of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Belgrade, Ljubljana, Novi Sad, and Zagreb) following major economic reforms. The author discusses the artist groups OHO and KÔD, as well as the role played by the so-called Student Cultural Centers, emphasizing the extent to which they responded to the complex historical-political conjuncture of market reform and socialist self-management of the mid-1960s. Ili´c ultimately asks how to interpret the New Art Practice in relation to socioeconomic modernization and the reform of self-management without reducing its experiments to a form of heroic anti-totalitarianism or complicity with US consumerism.
In "Instructive, Dramatic, and Corrective Collectivity: Socialist Realism in the Mirror of Collegial Debates," Mara Traumane studies the trajectory of the Artists' Union of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic during the second half of the 1940s and early 1950s. In an effort to identify distinct modes of collective behavior in the processes of socialist art production, Traumane traces the effects of changes in Soviet Union cultural policy as they pertained to the promulgation and reception of Socialist Realism. Her article invites us to locate these effects not at the level of form or representation but rather in the language and logic of the collectivity that they produced. In doing so, it underscores the contingent institutional constraints that shaped this purportedly triumphant moment of Stalinist Socialist Realism.
Lidia Klein's preface to the translated document "Common Space and Individual Space: Comments on a Group Task from the First Half of 1993" also reflects on the limits of artistic experimentalism in a moment defined by a sense that time is out of joint. "Common Space and Individual Space" compiles the accounts by Polish artists Monika Zielinska, Jane Stoykow, and Artur ´ Zmijewski of a performative group activity entitled Pieroz˙ek drewniany, zimnym mie˛sem nadziewany (The Wooden Dumpling, Filled with Cold Meat) that took place in 1992–93. First published in the Polish magazine Czereja, the text was intended as a living document of the experimental artistic practices and pedagogical methods of Kowalnia, a studio for diploma art students run by Grzegorz Kowalski in the Department of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. As Klein signals in her introduction, "the discussion around The Wooden Dumpling provides a valuable account of Kowalnia from the perspective of its own graduates, just prior to their entrance onto the Polish art scene." In a broader sense, the text also sheds light on the tensions and skepticism among the participants with respect to the activities' transgressive potential and articulates a sense, in the words of Jane Stoykow, that "everything ended before it really started and gained speed," thus foreshadowing, according to Klein, "the failed aspirations of Poland in the 1990s."
Ivana Bago's review essay, "Yugoslavia as World History: The Political Economy of Self-Managed Art" addresses two recent critical accounts of art and performance history: Armin Medosch's New Tendencies: Art at the Threshold of the Information Revolution (1961– 1978) (2016) and Branislav Jakovljevi´c's Alienation Effects: Performance and Self-Management in Yugoslavia, 1945–91 (2016). Bago claims that these two studies do more than tell the story of a particular national art, and that they do so by questioning commonplace ideas about Yugoslavia's purportedly exceptional cultural and political Cold War status and by situating such concerns among broader attempts to rethink the narrative strategies adequate to globalization. Rather than embrace the particularity of Yugoslavia's historical development in the second half of the 20th century, Bago considers the potentially universal consequences of the failed or truncated project of worker self management for theorizing socialism after the so-called end of history.
Labor Power Plant, Romana Schmalisch and Robert Schlicht's Artist Project, begins where the attempt at worker self-management leaves off, unfolding a dystopian present in which the now commonplace idea of cultivating "human resources" reveals capital's attempt to quite literally produce labor power. Labor Power Plant cannily presents an uncanny world defined by the economic productivity of the self, on the one hand, and the purported autonomy of capital, on the other. However, in the pages of the Artist Project, such contemporary forms of exploitation are not "beyond Marx," as some contemporary theories of immaterial labor suggest, but rather appear in the opening lines of Capital: "The wealth of our society presents itself as an immense accumulation of human resources."

Personal spaces are potentially the biggest investment we make. Our work spaces are the places we spend most of our time. When we are not spending time in our personal spaces, we are probably in our work space doing things to afford our personal space. It makes sense that given the amount of effort and time we invest, that these are comfortable, affordable and enjoyable.
Let's not forgot who they were created for in the first place.
Green Architecture is now a common phrase. Smart design is about creating spaces that work with the surrounding environment along with the people who use them to achieve a standard of lifestyle that we have come to expect in the developed world.
Le Corbusier, described the house as "the machine for living in."
Our machines (spaces) need to be user friendly, comfortable and affordable to create and to maintain.
Consider architectural design as series of different sized circles that put together in an arrangement to form relationships with each other. Some overlap, some just touch and others need to be kept away. Together these circles create a collaborated form which in turn forms relationships to the spaces outside it. Its all connected. The spaces we create and their relationship to each other and those around it are important.
To get the best out of the site / building / space consideration needs to be give to environmental factors such as the sun and wind. Then there is movements outside, inside and through both human and vehicle. The existing conditions and local district plan guidelines are also influential. Our response to these these provide a unique site specific solution.
To get the best out of what you have we need to respond to your existing conditions, you aspirations, changeable elements and uncontrollable elements in mind.
Size is a dominate factor in buying, selling, building and renovating our spaces today. But what if you could make a smaller space work just as well as a larger space. Smart design is about reducing the volume of space created without compromising the space required. This has benefits for the build cost as well as on going maintenance costs.
Its not about how much we have to use but how well we use what we have got. Quality over quantity.

Finalists with members of the jury

The Youth-Enabled Fish Farming AgriHack in West Africa 2016 came to a memorable end with a "6 days onsite incubation programme" at Wennovation Hub, Ibadan – Nigeria. The CTA project also dubbed "AgriHack West Africa", saw 8 teams comprising of 18 finalists selected from a hackathon earlier in August, come in from various cities across 3 West African countries of Benin, Nigeria and Togo.

The onsite incubation programme which concludes the WennoKick virtual incubation programme – a 5 weeks virtual incubation programme which the 18 finalist had earlier gone through – began on Monday the 14th and ended in a demo day on 18th of November, 2016.

The first two days of the programme was concentrated on revision of the WennoKick materials on the following topics;

Vision & Values, Goal setting

Lean Methodologies

Problem definition

Business Model Canvas

Opportunity sizing

Competition & Competitive advantage

BM Pyramid

Customer Discovery & Story telling

MVP, Pivots

Co-founders & Equity

On the third day of the programme, finalists were taken through a thorough financial planning and forecast course which helped them develop 3 years financial plans.

The fourth day was focused on start-up mentoring. There were virtual and in-person mentor sessions. Finalists had the opportunity to interact with serial entrepreneurs and angel investors about the idea they have been developing.

The onsite incubation programme came to a close on Friday, 18th November, 2016 with pitch and demo sessions. Finalists pitch their solutions to the jury who in-turn, scored and gave them valuable feed backs.

Finalists were graded based on three activities namely;
1. WennoKick workbooks (25%)
2. Elevator pitch (5%)
3. Investor pitch (70%)

While each of the 18 finalists walked away with mobile phones, each of the winning teams from the pitch sessions was awarded 1850 euros as developmental prizes.

The winning teams include;

The Youth-Enabled Fish Farming AgriHack 2016 (YEFFA 2016) – a Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Co-operation ACP-EU (CTA) and Wennovation Hub sponsored ICT4Ag program focused on ICT interventions in the Aquaculture value chain in West Africa – received well over 100 team entries across West Africa after its "call for ideas" earlier in April 2016. 93 participants across West Africa (56 – Nigeria, 17 – Benin, 20 – Togo) accepted an invitation to attend a day boot camp where they gained vital tools and techniques for innovation and entrepreneurship in Agriculture. At the boot camp, 20 entrepreneurial teams with the brightest ideas were selected to proceed into the next round of the program. These 20 teams, across all locations, comprising of 3 members each participated in an "orientation by immersion" program for 1 day followed by a 3 day "Hackathon" program to develop commercially viable solutions to resilient challenges in the fish farm value chain in West Africa. At the close of the Hackathon, 8 teams across 4 cities in the 3 West African Countries emerged with the best prototypes. These teams have been admitted into the WennoKick program; a 6 weeks pre-acceleration program followed by a 4.5 month incubation program.

On a related note, Wennovation Hub recently enrolled with the Global Accelerator Learning Initiative (GALI); an Emory University and Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE) led collaboration between US Global Development Lab (a USAID program), Omidyar Network, The Lemelson Foundation, and the Argidius Foundation. GALI is designed to weigh on a global scale the impact of Incubators and Accelerators on Startup Entrepreneurship.

GALI seeks to answer key questions about enterprise acceleration including: Do acceleration programs contribute to revenue growth? Do they help companies attract investment? What types of programs offered by accelerators have the highest impact on entrepreneurial success? What can we learn about the entrepreneurs who participate in the accelerator programs?

As part of the GALI program, 60 entrepreneurial teams from Wennovation Hub's YEFFA 2016 program are participating in the GALI program, at Emory University, to benchmark their performance over the next couple of years with or without Wennovation Hub's Acceleration program and incubation support. This program is for both YEFFA location finalists and runner ups. The GALI program will follow up with all respondents (the 60 teams) to benchmark the performances of those selected as location finalists into YEEFA's Acceleration program versus those who applied for YEFFA but did not make it as location finalists.

To encourage participation in the program, each team who agrees to participate in the GALI program (by filling the form Wennovation Hub sent to them) is entered into a draw to win one of four $5000 unrestricted awards for their ventures in a transparent online quarterly draw. Fortunately, one of the applicant teams to YEFFA 2016 was one of the 4 global lucky winners of the $5000 award, given by Wennovation Hub's Monitoring and Evaluation Partner; Emory University, Atlanta Georgia, USA.

Till date, Emory University have worked with nearly 60 accelerator programs around the world, including Village Capital, Points of Light Civic Accelerator and Technoserve programs. Through these many partners, they have collected and analyzed data from more than 3,500 early-stage ventures.

Congratulations to the IITA-Youth Agripreneurs-Abuja on being selected as one of the 4 global lucky winners for this quarter.
If interested in participating in the GALI program or joining any of our programs at Wennovation Hub, send a mail to email@example.com for details or follow us @wennovation, facebook.com/wennovationhub and you could be the next winner!
 http://www.agrihackwestafrica.org/update/index.php?controller=post&action=view&id_post=8 2016-08-30T06:44:00+00:00 Day 2: Agrihack participants meet with stakeholders at immersion sites
The top five teams in each location of intervention visited selected fish farms and associations where they met and interacted with relevant stakeholders in the four West African cities.

The immersion exercise allowed the enterprising youths to gain insights into pain points of fish farmers, marketers, process engineers, policy makers, and other relevant stakeholders. These series of exposures are expected to set the stage right for them to develop market-fit solutions to the identified challenges at the 48-hour hackathon later this week.

Selected teams at the Ugbokore Progressive Farmers Association site - Warri, Nigeria

Some of the sites visited are:
1. Azemor Farms - Ibadan, Nigeria
2. Ugbokore Progressive Fish Farmers Association - Warri, Nigeria
3. United Ufuoma Fish Farmers Association aka Fish Village - Warri, Nigeria
4. Baguida Fish Farming Village - Lome, Togo
5. Fondaton Tanon - Cotonou, Benin Republic among others.

Selected teams at the Ugbokore Progressive Farmers Association site - Warri, Nigeria

As expected, the top teams were able to clarify their thoughts with field practitioners and professionals at the immersion sites by asking questions that are related to the solutions they intend to develop. It was a long day full of questions and lots of answers – a kind of discovery for the participants. Aside from the fact that they were able to obtain field data relevant to their proposed solutions, the immersion has also boosted the capacity of the selected teams such that knowledge gained will remain valuable far beyond the AgriHack programme.

 Selected Teams at Baguida Village – Lome, Togo

The host organizations were thrilled to receive the passionate youths who have come from various backgrounds of engineering, marketing, agriculture, public administration, and health. Participants are now set to hit the hackerspace and build protoypes based on data gathered. Join us as we stream the hackathon live on our Twitter via Periscope and Facebook via Facebook Live Streaming.

 Selected top teams at Fondation Tonon, Benin Republic.

Take an Indian, Malay or Western spin on this summertime favourite by experimenting with spices. Tamarind juice, asafoetida (fennel extract), coriander, and apple cider vinegar contribute different tasting notes for a complex, vibrant chord.
A combination of vinegar, turmeric, chilli and pineapple adds an acidic brightness to this Peranakan pickle with punch.
The bitterness of these white jade gourds from Taiwan are mellowed by sweet Chinese red dates and the warm scents of cinnamon. It's best paired with deep fried foods and should be consumed within one ...
This is a deliciously sinful side dish to have on the dinner table. The combination of crunchy cauliflower florets, rich batter and cheese and the saltiness of the chips makes this a smash hit.
This seafood dish is fragrant with chilli pepper oil, which adds an intense spicy kick to scallops and scampi marinated with lemon juice and white wine.
Why should colour blocking be restricted only to fashion? Try contrasting potato mash with prawns for a standout clash.
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs? We sure hope so! Make yours extra scrumptious by adding fresh breadcrumb.
Contrasting ginseng with earthy chestnut and sweet pear is what makes this a perfect Korean salad. Deodok is a root vegetable similar to ginseng but with a more tangy flavour and meat-like texture.
This is a twist on the classic Tuscany bread salad. Chicken spiced with cumin and served with peppers, cucumber, capers and toasted pitas in the salad evoke flavours of the Mediterranean spice trade.

300/365 – Catalonia – D.O. Costers del Segre – Vilamitjana – Cellers Vila Corona – Llabustes Chardonnay 2013
I'm All Over It…….,
Pale yellow straw color, elegant green reflections. Clean and intense aromas of flowers, acacia and a hint of rose. Yellow and white fruits, a lot of pineapple, apple and pear are quite subtle, banana is also there but fading in the background. No mineral and no notes of aging. On the palate, it is a dry wine with moderate acidity, noticeable alcohol but without being intrusive. It has a integrated body. Taste of citrus, exotic and white fruits, slight touch of almonds. You won't find a better Chardonnay from Costers del Segre, the value is amazing!
Vila Corona Cellar is located in Vilamitjana (a village in Pallars Jussà, in the Catalan Pyrenees) and has been there and in production since 1993. It is surrounded by a vineyard of 10 ha. planted in 1989, with the varieties Riesling and Chardonnay, for their white wines and Tempranillo (also known as Ull de Llebre), Grenache, Morastell, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for their red wines. The have a total of 6 wines, the Chardonnay and Riesling as mono varietal whites and four reds, three mono and one, the Tu Rai….., as a blend.
The Cellar's location is characterized by a mediterranean-continental climate, but influenced by the surrounding mountains. It is part of the Tremp Basin with specific microclimate favoured by the mountains. The vines are planted about 500 m. This situation causes very marked temperature inversions, which facilitates a slower ripening. The rainfall ranges between 500-560 ml/m2/year and snowfall at an average of 1,5/year. The temperature fluctuates between -14ºC and 39ºC. The vineyard is planted on rocky land originated by erosion or Areny's rock, from the Late Cretaceous and Garumnia formations. Areny's sandstone is a quartzite composed of potassium, feldspar, quartz, quartzite, mica and fossils, all cemented with calcite. Garumnia's formation is composed by red lutites, with minor intercalations of fine-grained channelled stoneware. This composition facilitates the drainage of the land, favorably influencing the quality of wine.

2 face child porn charges after Iqaluit RCMP investigate Facebook luring
Police received complaint about male attempting to get explicit images from girls
Two people in Iqaluit are facing child pornography charges after a police investigation into reports of child luring over Facebook, RCMP announced Thursday.
According to a news release, police received a complaint in February about a male "attempting to obtain explicit images from young females in Iqaluit over Facebook."
The RCMP launched an investigation, which led to search warrants being executed at two homes in the community Tuesday. Police say they obtained evidence during the searches which led to charges against two males — a 19-year-old adult and a 16-year-old youth.
The accused were not named by police.
The adult has been charged with two counts of child luring and one count of possessing child pornography. The youth is facing two counts of child luring, two counts of distributing child pornography, two counts of knowingly publishing publishing intimate images without consent, and one count of exposing himself to a person under 16 for a sexual purpose.
Both the accused were released with conditions after a bail hearing March 22. Their next court appearance is scheduled for May 22 in Iqaluit.
