Adnan, from Toronto to Fiesta Latina
By Jessica Daniels On December 1, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
The last post written by our first-year student bloggers comes from Adnan, who is in the MALD program. As he'll explain, Adnan and I met at the earliest stages of his graduate school search and it has been a pleasure to keep up with him for more than a year. He was also the very first new student I ran into on the first day of Orientation in August. We were both walking up to Fletcher, and it seemed like an especially fitting start to the new academic year. Naturally, I reached out to him when I was thinking about whom to ask to do some blogging over the next two years. Here's his story.
Three months in, I'm happy to report that Fletcher is everything I'd imagined it to be, and so much more. My journey began last fall while I was visiting my alma mater, the University of Toronto, and happened to attend the APSIA fair they were hosting. At the time, I was working in Lahore as an associate editor at Newsweek Pakistan, where I had started off as a staff reporter in 2011. I had also been admitted to an international affairs program at another graduate school that spring, but deferred the offer because I wasn't entirely sure it was the right choice for me. Meeting representatives of various schools at the fair was a great way to get a sense of what else was out there, but the Fletcher booth is where I ended up spending most of my time. I had an engaging conversation with Jessica about whether I'd be a good fit, and it motivated me to make a trip down to Medford.
Visiting campus convinced me that Fletcher was where I wanted to be. I signed up for an interview and a coffee-chat with a student, met with a faculty member, attended a talk, and stayed overnight with a student who heard about me through the mighty Social List. Each activity offered a different perspective on life at Fletcher, and I was able to get answers to all my questions. The diversity of its curriculum, and the freedom to tailor a program to suit my interests were an important part of Fletcher's appeal, as was its prestigious reputation. What drew me most to the school, however, were Fletcher's extraordinarily amicable people. Everybody I interacted with seemed genuinely interested in helping, and as I can attest now, it wasn't just about making a visitor feel welcome, but is very much a part of Fletcher's culture. I'm lucky to have gotten in, and glad I chose well.
With my background in journalism, I knew that International Information and Communication would be one of my concentrations. This semester, I'm taking International Communication, the required course for that field. Of the many topics covered in class, it's been fascinating to study the changing context in which global media operates. I am also taking both parts of Social Networks in Organizations, which work toward the field too. Additionally, I am fulfilling my breadth requirements for one ILO course with International Legal Order, and for a required DHP class with Global Political Economy. The second field of study I'm interested in is Strategic Management and International Consultancy. Though this is technically a field for the MIB degree, the flexibility of Fletcher's programs allows MALD students like me to petition to complete it. To get my foot in the door, I joined the student-run service, 180 Degrees Consulting, and am leading a project to help a nongovernmental organization develop a communication strategy.
While classes are rigorous and demanding, they are one among many sources of learning at Fletcher. Coursework is complemented by daily events that range from conferences and panel discussions, to workshops and film-screenings, often leaving us spoiled for choice. Another great resource is Fletcher's diverse student body, just casually hanging out with whom can be educational. Through clubs, students arrange organized activities and events too, my favorite of which so far have been the culture nights. I danced in a Bollywood performance at Asia Night, learned Salsa for Fiesta Latina, and am already excited about Africana, Americana, and Mediterranean nights next semester. With everything that goes on, and limited time at hand, coping with the fear of missing out can be a Fletcher student's biggest challenge. As I learn to prioritize to ensure I make the most of my time here, I look forward to sharing my Fletcher experience with you.

Student Stories continue: Introducing McKenzie
By Jessica Daniels On November 19, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
Time to return to the first-year students who I hope will be two-year bloggers, sharing their Fletcher stories with you. Today we'll meet McKenzie, who describes her path to the MIB program and her first two-plus months in it.
Hi everyone! My name is McKenzie Smith. I'm thrilled that I will be sharing my experiences in the Master of International Business (MIB) program over the next two years. To get started, let me share a bit about where I come from, where I'm going, and how I plan to use my time at Fletcher — the things I imagine you're considering yourself. In short, I'm here at Fletcher to explore the growth and adoption of impact investment that helps develop emerging markets. In particular, I'm interested in the role that capital flows can play in encouraging businesses to consider their environmental, social, and governance impacts on society in the course of their operations.
Before Fletcher, I spent four years as a consultant helping public- and private-sector clients solve complex challenges related to strategy and operational efficiency, organizational design, and large-scale program management. I also supported business development efforts for multiple projects in Sub-Saharan Africa and Indonesia. Prior to that, I taught kindergarten in Colorado after studying international development and international politics at Georgetown University. One thing I've learned from my varied experience is that tackling multi-dimensional challenges necessitates interdisciplinary solutions. Leveraging finance to build vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystems and promote economic transformation requires a complex set of actors, from investors to academics, NGOs to businesses, who must work in a coordinated manner to enable citizens and businesses to create economic value. Achieving this through a lens of social impact can be even more challenging as investors and entrepreneurs seek to create social value that does not cause a loss of financial returns.
Yet, while facilitating the growth and adoption of impact (or "socially responsible," or "Environmental, Social, and Governance/ESG") investing is fraught with obstacles, I find myself saying, "Challenge accepted!" In fact, individuals around the world can and are finding innovative ways to blend social value with financial returns. A growing number of investors from the millennial generation are demanding it, and more and more institutions are devoting resources to research and fund development that creates opportunities for investors to "put their money where there values are."
I could keep going, but I'll jump to the question you're likely asking at this point: in light of these goals, why Fletcher? In short, I came to Fletcher to focus on international finance and social enterprise in emerging markets because Fletcher offers the right mix of rigorous MBA-type skills and an understanding of the multiple social, political, and economic issues inherent in conducting business around the world.
In terms of core business and finance skills, this semester alone I'm taking courses in corporate finance, global investment management, and financial statement management. I'm building concrete skills in valuation, financial analysis, portfolio construction, and strategic decision making.
In terms of social enterprise in emerging markets, I'm taking a course called "Emerging Africa," which examines the role of capitalism, entrepreneurship, and the private sector in African economies' transformations. This course is unique at Fletcher, especially for MIBs. While many of us considered traditional MBAs and could have found similar courses in those programs, we would not have had the chance to take these courses alongside friends focused on human security, development economics, negotiation and conflict resolution, security studies, or environmental and energy policy. Because the growth of entrepreneurship in emerging markets is intimately intertwined with an in-depth understanding of many of these issues, the Fletcher experience for students interested in international business cannot be beat.
As before, I could certainly go on. In some ways, it's hard to believe I've only just arrived! At the same time, already in the second half of my first semester at Fletcher, it's hard to believe how quickly time flies. I can't wait to share the rest of my experiences with you as the year progresses.
Until next time,

Tatsuo settles in at Fletcher
By Jessica Daniels On October 27, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
Today, I'm happy to introduce the first post from one of the new students who will report on their Fletcher experience in the Student Stories feature. Tatsuo and I met last summer when he had recently arrived on campus, and I'm very excited to be able to highlight the experience of a student from Japan. Fletcher benefits every year from the perspective of Japanese students, many of whom, like Tatsuo, have been sponsored by the organizations for which they work. I'll let Tatsuo supply the details.
Hello! I am Tatsuo Sakai, a first-year MALD student. I feel very happy to have the opportunity to share with you my future tough, but surely enjoyable, days at Fletcher, by posting in the Admissions blog.
My first-priority interest at Fletcher is international development. I'd like to study theories and practical implications of development today. I think there is a lot of room to pursue interdisciplinary work examining development studies for developing countries and regional development policies in well-developed countries. I believe such integrated studies can contribute to both the less developed countries and to disadvantaged areas in well-developed countries.
Additionally, I am also interested in security studies. As I will explain later, a position in homeland security is one of my future possible jobs.
Before Fletcher, I worked in the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT), as a legal officer in three areas:
1) The city planning division
2) The international affairs office for Civil Aviation, and
3) The road administration division.
During my five years in MLIT, I worked on planning policies for reconstruction following the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011; negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and other economic partnership agreements; reform of public road policies, including the introduction of private funding into public infrastructure projects; and promoting disaster response capabilities.
As a ministry official who was assigned to study abroad with a Japanese government long-term fellowship, I had some options for my graduate studies, from the west coast to the east coast, and including public policy schools or design/planning schools. Finally, I decided to study at Fletcher for three reasons.
1) Fletcher's broad and flexible curriculum
I am a person who cannot narrow my interests into a certain area. Thus, in my work, I was in charge of broad fields, from very domestic policy, such as city planning legislation, to global negotiations with foreign counterparts, for example for the TPP. I may even be assigned to be a Coast Guard officer in the future. I am curious about and able to enjoy everything I encounter. In this, my first semester at Fletcher, I am taking four courses — Law and Development, Development Economics: Policy Analysis, Foundations in Financial Accounting and Corporate Finance, and Crisis Management and Complex Emergencies. The classes are very diverse, from law to economics to security studies. Fletcher has courses and professors with expertise in many different areas, and we can take any courses we want within the program's flexible requirements.
2) The community
Fletcher is well known, even in Japan, for its strong community. After other Japanese students and I received our admission decisions from Fletcher, one of Fletcher's alumni, the Pakistani ambassador in Japan, held a welcome party at his official residence. We met many alumni from various government sections and countries. I also feel the strength of the Fletcher community as a student here. It's my first time living in a foreign country, but I enjoy and relax with friendly support from classmates, even in an unfamiliar environment and with a tough workload. I surely believe that the tight bonds in the community will contribute to our success around the world.
3) Fletcher's reputation in international affairs
As you know, Fletcher is the oldest graduate school for international relations in the world. We have a lot of successful alumni who have built a great reputation for the School in the United Nations, World Bank, or other international organizations, and of course, governments and the private sector. The reputation prevails even where I didn't expect it. When I traveled to a rural town in Montana this summer, I wore a sweatshirt with a Fletcher logo. An old couple asked me, "Are you a Fletcher student?" I said yes, and then, they said, "You can save the world! Please do it!" I was surprised and really proud at that moment.
I have nearly completed my second month at Fletcher. I'm looking forward to experiencing many strange, curious, surprising, and enjoyable events during my two years. I hope you will enjoy sharing my experience at Fletcher through my posts in the blog!

Ali's summer internship at YUM! Brands
By Jessica Daniels On October 19, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
Time to wrap up the reports on summer internships. Today, Ali tells us about her summer at YUM! Brands, a major multinational company that just happens to be located in her home town of Louisville, Kentucky.
When's the last time you looked at a utility bill? What about 20,000 utility bills? That's what I was doing this summer at YUM! Brands — the parent company for KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell.
It may sound mind-numbing, but I thoroughly enjoyed the task. It cut across key departments and supported answers to questions, including:
- What is the role of a for-profit company in addressing global climate change and water scarcity?
- How do we communicate with franchisees about sustainability and cost tradeoffs in the supply chain?
- What's the best way to collect and manage CSR (corporate social responsibility) data from places like the U.S., China, and Australia? Are we only responsible for equity markets, or are we responsible for franchisee markets, too?
- What do investors care about, and how does sustainability affect YUM!'s stock price?
- Should investors and governments encourage utilities to standardize units, billing cycles, and other statement features, as they increase their corporate water and greenhouse gas accounting requests, too?
Under the guidance of the Chief Sustainability Officer and YUM!'s Global Sustainability team, I collaborated with employees from government affairs, foundation, supply chain, IT, investor relations, and more, to author the company's WDP (water disclosure project) report; develop its water stewardship strategy; select a new data management system; and engage employees, investors, and ESG (Environmental, Social And Governance) research agencies, around YUM!'s sustainability efforts and their connection to its stock price.
I enjoyed my time at YUM!, and this semester, I'm continuing my work from there through my involvement with Net Impact and my internship at Breckinridge Capital Advisors, where I'm learning about sustainability from the fixed income investor's perspective.
Breckinridge actively recruits Fletcher students, and I'm grateful that coming here for my degree gives me the opportunity to shift my career focus and intern in different settings than I've worked in before.
I'm looking forward to reporting more about the great and final year ahead!

Aditi's internship in Rwanda
By Jessica Daniels On October 14, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
The second of our returning student bloggers to report this semester is Aditi, who spent her summer in Rwanda, where her experience taught her some lessons that she hadn't anticipated.
Thanks to the Leir Fellowship that supports Fletcher student internships, I was able to work in Rwanda over the past summer. It was my first experience traveling to Africa, but having spent time in India, the U.S., and South America, I felt as though I was well-prepared for what the experience might throw my way. In some ways, I was right: I wasn't overwhelmed by the crowds, or paralyzed by the sight of poverty, or surprised at the presence of expensive restaurants and a thriving nightlife with international music playing at every club. In several other ways, however, I found that the experience was new in ways I had not anticipated.
The organization I was working with, Manos de Madres Rwanda, works in partnership with a local clinic that has worked in Kigali for over a decade. The patients are women and children living with HIV/AIDS. Several grew up orphaned, and most are desperately poor. The clinic provides its patients with physical and psychological care, and Manos de Madres offered to partner with the clinic to provide the women with livelihoods and skills training. The organization has a program manager, a marketing manager who I helped hire during my time there, and three young "Cooperative Agents" who are part-time staff and also patients of the clinic. This team runs a number of different programs with various cooperatives of women: an organic market garden called Baho; a screen-printing business called Dutete; a jewelry-making cooperative called Ejo Hazaza; and a microloan program for young mothers.
My day-to-day work consisted of visiting each of the cooperatives and participating in their meetings, followed by team meetings with the Manos staff. Although I was originally hired to start work on Manos' monitoring and evaluation of its programs, it quickly became clear that the need of the organization was improved general management. I had to be responsive to the needs of the organization, and although I wanted to test my newly-minted monitoring and evaluation skills, I realized that it would be a far more impactful contribution to help the team with its daily management and putting in place systems and processes. I spent a lot of my time conducting trainings with the team—on business plan creation, so they could work better with the cooperatives; on reporting; and on using Excel. I created a new reporting structure for the Manos team to use and trained them on how to fill out and submit reports.
Living and working in Kigali was a mixed experience for me. It was my first time living in a country where I was absolutely unable to communicate with most people around me, and before this summer, I definitely underestimated the impact this would have on me. Being unable to communicate with the women we worked with was incredibly frustrating, as I always had to request translation or else be left out of the conversation. It made me deeply uncomfortable, and it has made me question the effectiveness of working in a country for which I have no local language or context skills. It will make me think twice about future career decisions, and tread carefully and think through my own assumptions before embarking on a career living or working in an environment where I do not speak the language.
Aside from the personal growth and thoughts about how I would like to shape my career, I had the opportunity to see a lot of the country. I hiked up a volcano to see a crater lake at the top, and went on my first African safari at Akagera National Park. The country was phenomenally beautiful, with the bus rides being more than enough of a treat to justify a disappointing destination, had there actually been one!
I was also very interested to see how Rwanda is changing its national image from a country scarred by genocide, to one that is increasingly a tourist and investment destination. The process of building this new identity while remembering and memorializing the genocide is a tricky balance, and one that I am curious to learn more about.
Professionally and personally, this summer in Rwanda has helped me solidify how I want to build my life and career post Fletcher — it was a perfect way to tie together my first and second year at Fletcher.

Alex's summer work on solar energy
By Jessica Daniels On October 7, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Neighborhood, Our Students
Launching the Student Stories feature for 2015-16 is second-year MIB student, Alex, who is reporting on his summer internship in the Boston area.
Fletcher is not the type of school where everyone hopes to spend the summer as a consultant or banker in New York. Ask a dozen people here what they did for their summer internship, and I bet you will get a dozen completely different answers. With people scattered across the world doing everything under the sun, it would be quite difficult for me to describe the average Fletcher internship. Instead, I can at least provide you with one data point by telling you about my summer, spent in the most unlikely of places for a Fletcher student: Boston.
My internship was with a rapidly growing solar energy project development company in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, which I secured with the help of one of my professors. I worked to build out their "Community Solar" offering, which is the hot new thing in the industry: instead of mounting panels on their roofs, anyone can subscribe to centralized solar installations, effectively opening up the market for the 80% of people who could not go solar previously. As you may remember from earlier blog posts, I am interested in innovative business models and financing mechanisms for clean energy infrastructure, so this was right up my alley. Furthermore, working on the development side provided a good experiential addition to my internship with the wind energy private equity firm last semester; now I know both the money side and the project side of the deal.
Actually getting to build out a new product offering, with all the requisite business processes, was a great opportunity as well. In my previous role as a strategy consultant, I was generally looking at the bigger picture instead of tackling all the nitty-gritty pieces of building something new. It was an eye-opening experience, which brought some concreteness to my thinking.
The size of the company was another aspect I enjoyed: at 45 employees, it was much smaller than Monitor Deloitte and much bigger than some of the start-ups I have worked with in the past. At this size, a company has the expertise and basic processes in place, but does not yet have the silos that beset many larger organizations. I felt empowered to reach across the organization, make decisions, and execute as I saw fit, which I greatly enjoyed. Also, I was excited to be surrounded by experts in all aspects of building our energy sources of the future.
So, while I have to admit I was jealous at first of all my friends jetting off to cool and exotic places for their summers, I ended up being happy that I kept mine local. One of the great perks was my commute, which included biking along charming Charles Street in Beacon Hill, through the verdant Public Gardens, and then down bustling Newbury Street in Back Bay. I feel lucky that I was one of the few who got to stay in Boston, and appreciate the opportunities and beauty of the great city in which we live.

Student Stories return tomorrow
By Jessica Daniels On October 6, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
One of my favorite aspects of overseeing the Fletcher Admissions Blog is working with students and alumni to share their stories with future students/alumni. I'm happy to say that tomorrow's post will be from one of our returning Student Stories writers, Alex. This is the fourth year of the Student Stories feature and applicants tell me that reading about the student writers' paths is especially helpful as they chart their own.
My instructions for the Student Stories writers are relatively loose. They agree to write four posts each year, divided roughly into the two semesters (though some slipping into the winter or summer break is o.k.). Whatever topics are interesting or important to them are fine with me, too. I should note that the student writers are volunteers, and I hugely appreciate the time and effort they put into their writing.
I'm still working with the new student volunteers, but the three returning students, Ali, Alex, and Aditi have all agreed to keep writing this year. Ali is an MIB student who applied to Fletcher through the Map Your Future pathway. Alex is also an MIB student, and Aditi is a MALD student, originally from India. Tomorrow, Alex will share details from his summer internship.

Diane's path from north (Fletcher) to south (Australia)
By Jessica Daniels On July 21, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
When Diane first introduced herself nearly two years ago, she detailed her pre-Fletcher experience and her path from her home country of Australia to graduate school in the U.S. Today, having graduated from the MALD program in May, Diane describes her path back home to Australia — though she may not be there for long.
It's now two months since graduation, and where has the time gone? Those last months at Fletcher were certainly fast and furious, with a mixture of finals, fun events, Dis-O, friends visiting, day trips around Massachusetts, graduation, and many sad farewells.
I decided to base myself near campus in Somerville during my job search. It was really lovely to experience Boston in warmer weather. Yes, it was much quieter than during the semester, but a walk past Fletcher always guaranteed running into another student I knew. My job search seemed to be pointing me towards home, so I decided to book my flight back to Australia, and to hope everything would work out quickly.
I had come up with a strategy for my job search at the beginning of spring semester: given that time is always limited at Fletcher, I decided to apply for any fellowships or year-long programs where you rotate around the organization's different divisions for training, as many of these companies only recruit once a year. I left the bulk of my applications for individual job postings for after graduation. I was lucky enough to progress past the first round of a number of the programs I applied for, which meant I spent a bit of time each week doing online testing and interviews through Skype. This certainly helped to keep me motivated.
A few weeks before leaving Boston I received a job offer from GRM International to be part of their Young Professionals Program, allowing me to rotate around the company through different divisions and offices during the next couple of years. This role felt like a really good fit, and allowed me to return to Australia for my first rotation. Through the process of applying, interviewing, and accepting this role, I utilized the Office of Career Services on many occasions, which is another great advantage of being a student or graduate of The Fletcher School.
I planned some travel before heading home, visiting friends in Los Angeles and Idaho, including a trip to Yellowstone National Park. I was lucky enough to meet up with some Fletcher folks along the way who were home for the summer.
Coming home has been an adjustment, not only because it is winter here. But after two years away, it is rather nice to be around friends and family again.
I am so looking forward to my next phase in life, after spending two wonderful years at Fletcher.

Liam's farewell, and the value of discussion and diversity
By Jessica Daniels On June 4, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In Our Students
I'm really sorry that Liam's two years as a student blogger (and at Fletcher in general) have come to an end. He has been a great partner in this project. He will soon return to his career with the Army, which supported his studies to develop him as an officer. Today, he shares reflections from his grad school experience.
One of the most valuable characteristics of my Fletcher experience has been discussion, both in and out of the classroom, especially when it builds on the diversity of the student body. As I look back on my two years here, I can't help but think that many of my most significant takeaways came from classroom exchanges with such an amazing collection of people. From them, I've learned an immense amount about the world, and along the way, I also have made some life-long memories.
One classroom example I would highlight is Prof. Khan's course, The Historian's Art. Regardless of your academic and professional background, if you take one course at Fletcher, this should be it. The timeless skills I acquired to interpret history through the lens of contemporary affairs are amongst the most important I gained at Fletcher. Moreover, Prof. Khan's teaching style, forcing you to take a side on a historical issue, to not waver, and to use empathy, detachment, and relentless skepticism in looking at anything, will inevitably help you become a better thinker. In addition, and the point of this post, is that the variety of students in this class, from journalists to MIBs to military officers to Peace Corps volunteers, made discussions vibrant, insightful, contentious, memorable, and effective. The unique nature of my fellow students ensured that, while there was always something to be learned, there were also multiple occasions where Harry Potter or Jurassic Park entered the discussions. That's just Fletcher.
As I sit here and reflect, I am filled with a wave of emotions and memories from the past two years. While the class discussions I described above are an important part of the Fletcher experience, so, too, are the projects and papers you turn in, the lessons you learn from readings and in class, and the advice you get from sitting down with professors during office hours. Everything that comprises the academic side of the Fletcher experience makes you a stronger professional, capable of returning to your old line of work or starting in a new career field, and better equipped to handle the challenges of the 21st century. Learning at Fletcher embodies a remarkable combination of academic skills with real world perspective that is unmatched.
But I cannot overemphasize the importance of the Fletcher community. The students and professors are what enable these meaningful classroom-based discussions. Simply put, Fletcher attracts the most amazingly diverse cross-section of intelligent, caring, compassionate, and humorous people imaginable. When I look back to when I was applying to Fletcher from Afghanistan in the fall of 2012, I remember reading through course catalogs and the CVs of professors whose interests matched mine, and I was hooked. As important as that was to my enrollment choice, it wasn't until I met my classmates at Orientation that I realized how glad I was that I made the decision to come to Fletcher. Relationships are key to success in life, and after Fletcher, I am certain that I will go forward with a wide network of connections — throughout virtually any imaginable profession and region — that I could not have acquired in any other place. If you're reading this blog and thinking about applying to Fletcher, I can tell you that, if I had to make the choice one hundred times, I would make the same choice one hundred times.
And, so, as I look back on what has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life, what I will remember are the people. The people are what makes Fletcher what it is, and I wouldn't trade the experience of our shared discussions for anything in the world.

Continuing the internship theme from Tuesday, Aditi reports on her internship and other plans for the coming months.
Summer has finally arrived in Boston! After a grueling couple of weeks for finals, I'm done and can enjoy the beautiful weather for a little before I leave for my summer internship.
This summer, I will be working with a small NGO in Kigali, Rwanda, on their monitoring and evaluation plans. Another Fletcher student worked with the same NGO last summer, and was responsible for hiring me and training me; she was an incredibly useful resource for learning more about the organization and its work, her experience working with them, and Kigali generally. I'm really excited to be in Rwanda — it will be my first time in Africa! — and I'm lucky enough that I will have the company of five other Fletcher students who will also be doing internships there.
I was fortunate to receive funding from Fletcher, through the Office of Career Services, to support my work over the summer. My research partner and I also received a grant from the Hitachi Center (which I wrote about earlier) to conduct research for our capstones, which we will write next year. The research will lead me to Nairobi, Kenya for a week after wrapping up my summer internship. And once that's done, after heading home to India for a week, I'll be back on campus in mid-August as the teaching assistant for the Design, Monitoring, and Evaluation (DME) series taught by Prof. Scharbatke-Church.
What I'm most excited about for the summer (in addition to beautiful Kigali and exploring a new country) is the chance to put my DME coursework to use through my internship. Looking back to August 2014, I'm so glad I took the pre-session course and went through the series all the way through Advanced Evaluation this semester, because it gave me new tools with which to think critically about development and the underlying logic behind it. It's an excellent class for anyone who has worked, or wants to work, in development or peacebuilding. In addition to giving you a set of in-demand skills (because, jobs), it also helps you understand how much higher the bar should be for good development work that can create change, and what steps we can take to reach that bar. It's an incredibly challenging course that makes you question your assumptions, but the hard work and heavy reading load is completely worth it. If it interests you, definitely consider taking it.
In the meantime — have a wonderful summer, and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you who are new students come August!

I've only heard a few verses from him, not enough to really pass judgement. So far he seems pretty generic, he's supposed to release a mixtape soon.
Ya Boy was really the only BWS dude with talent(he has potential to be better than Game) but he left the label. He has a mixtape with Big Mike coming soon.

Maaaaaaan theres fat bastards all over the States. You got too many fast food joints and not enough gyms. Burger King is death in a bun but the Whopper with Cheese is straight.
Eng, for some reason there's KFC, Taco Bell and Burger King in the movie theatres here, and my friend got the BK stacker once because he didn't have time to eat before the movie. He unwrapped it and it smelled like the entire theatre shit their collective pants at once. If Ay Bay Bay had a smell, it would have been that.

text: PopcornTime Defiantly Pops Back Up After Domain Gets SuspendedMario Aguilar10/13/14 7:46pmFiled to: popcorn timepiracytorrentsdmcagoogle301EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink GIF The most popular way of accessing the popular "Netflix for torrents" service PopcornTime abruptly went down last week when European regulators suspended the domain registration for Time4Popcorn.eu. In a message today, the anonymous devs behind the service say it's back—and won't be permanently shut down ever. Advertisement You can now find PopcornTime at Popcorn-time.se. (You'll recognize that .se in the address as the same Swedish top-level domain that currently lists notorious torrent index, The Pirate Bay.) After the domain was shut down, the PopcornTime's apps stopped working across platforms because as TorrentFreak points out, the apps need the domain to load their UI. But if you download updated versions, they should all work by now. I just tried it out on Mac and it's working. Despite PopcornTime's defiant statement that it will never be taken down, the devs are surprisingly open about the fact that they need Google juice to survive. They're asking people to update links and to broadly share the new URL, so that their search rank improves and cancels out the old Time4popcorn domain. Advertisement Google or not, PopcornTime's prompt resurgence seems to confirm the long held notion that stamping out domains and links doesn't do much to stop privacy. The team (teams?) working on PopcornTime has been remarkably good at evading throttling ISPs and regulators alike with their code. The service even has built-in VPN to help users maintain their anonymity. I asked PopcornTime what they were going to do to prevent future takedowns of this kind. Their response:We cannot say we have a fail proof plan on how to avoid this kind of action in the future. At the bottom line if someone who's powerful enough wants to close your domain, most chances that they'll find a way to do so.What we can do and are doing as of our upcoming release, beta 5.0, is to first proof the software in a way that our domain getting taken down won't effect our existing users. This is already happening now, and from this point on an attack like this on our domain will have no effect on our users. We'll be watching for the regulators' next move.

Solomon here continues to appear great both at home and abroad. We had this account of his grandeur, 1 Kgs. 10:1-29 Nothing is here added; but his defection towards his latter end, which we have there (1 Kgs. 11:1-43), is here omitted, and the close of this chapter brings him to the grave with an unstained reputation. Perhaps none of the chapters in the Chronicles agree so much with a chapter in the Kings as this does with 1 Kgs. 10:1-29 verse for verse, only that the 1 Kgs. 10:1, 2; 2 Chron. 9:1 are put into one here, and 2 Chron. 9:25; 1 Kgs. 4:26 here is taken from 1 Kgs. 4:26; 2 Chron. 9:25; and the 2 Chron. 9:29-31; 1 Kgs. 11:41-43 here from 1 Kgs. 11:41-43; 2 Chron. 9:29-31. Here is, I. The honour which the queen of Sheba did to Solomon, in the visit she made him to hear his wisdom, 2 Chron. 9:1-12. II. Many instances given of the riches and splendour of Solomon's court, 2 Chron. 9:13-28. III. The conclusion of his reign, 2 Chron. 9:29-31.

text: Posted March 2, 2014 · Report post Bidding on Free Agents:If you win the bid you add that FA to your roster as of the 2012 season, don't worry about the future.Every GM has an idea on who they want and divvy up their budget according to this. § Team Name§ Free Agent§ Bid (# of stars) ***You can NOT bid on players if you do not have the free cap space available***-You MUST create cap space first (by trading and/or cutting)That's for the first bid. Then if another team comes in and wants to bid, make sure and read through the thread, quote the highest bid so far (if its a player already bid on) and make sure and post a bid higher. If the first team wants to counter bid, again quote the post (continue to use format above, Team name, Free agent, and stars bid).We don't want people not looking for the highest bid and then bidding 6 mil for say Jake Long, when someone has already bid 8.So rulesPlace ALL bids in the following format:Team NameFree AgentBid (# of Stars)Rules:Absolutely NO discussions in this thread until the bidding period has endedSearch for the leading bidder, quote their bid, and outbid themTeams can bid any amount on a player, but only in increments of 0.5 StarsAlways quote the previous highest bid until the last 5 minutesEditing or deleting of posts is NOT permitted, and has a significant penalty. You will not be allowed to make anymore bids for that position group if you edit/delete a bid.You can start the bidding at any price, the lowest value being 0.5 StarsBid based on what you wish to pay for the 2014 base salary only (No signing bonuses)If a signed player is cut, the team eats half of his salary (Unless the salary was 0.5 Stars, there is no cap hit).During the Final Five Minutes of Free Agency:At the final 5 minute mark, Berad will post, "FINAL FIVE MINUTES," so that we have a clear divide. If Berad cannot be online for whatever reason, please PM someone another active member. If Mt. Crushmore is online, PM him first. When the time is up, the person in charge of ending the bidding, whether that be berad or his appointed replacement will posts, "Bidding Is OVER." This member and this member ONLY is responsible for doing so. Therefore only this member's time is official.IMPORTANT: ONLY in the final 5 minutes, you do not have to quote the previous bid and only the highest bid on a certain player will count at the end.Any member who was the bid leader before the FINAL FIVE MINUTES post and is outbid in that time frame will have a chance to bid again on the said player. In order to do so, they proclaim so from 7:00 EST until 7:05 EST in THIS thread, by posting something along the lines of:Team NameFree AgentI wish to bid againAt 7:05 EST, the member in charge of the time keeping will post, "Final Five Is OVER."He will then PM the GMs involved. They will reply with the absolute highest bid that they are willing to pay for said player. Both GMs have only ONE chance, and the highest bid wins. In the event of a tie, they will receive a PM informing them of the event, and allowing them of another bid until the tie has endedThis does NOT apply when the FIRST and ONLY bid was made in the final five minutes.Overview:1. Berad or the presiding commissioner posts, "FINAL FIVE MINUTES."2. At 7:00 EST, said member posts, "Bidding Is OVER."3. From 7:00 EST to 7:05 EST, any GM who was winning prior to 5 minutes left and was outbid in that time frame can request for another chance to bid for that player.4. At 7:05 EST, the presiding member posts, "Final Five Is OVER."5. This member then PMs both GMs, who will reply with the highest bid they are prepared to go. Unless in the event of a tie, only ONE bid is permitted. Winner receives the contractual rights to the player.

Not shaken and only slightly stirred was the verdict of Archers fans last night as the much-hyped 60th anniversary programme culminated in a grisly accident involving Nigel Pargetter.
In perhaps the most eagerly awaited radio moment for years, an episode which the programme's editor had promised would "shake Ambridge to the core", Nigel fell from the roof of his ancestral home Lower Loxley while trying to remove a banner. David Archer, who had suggested the venture, apparently remained on the roof. It was a distinct echo of the day in 1955 when the BBC had Grace Archer killed in a barn fire to coincide with the launch of ITV.
At the same time, anorexic single mother Helen was rushed to hospital with pre-eclampsia and gave birth to a son, thus healing a rift between her father, Tony, who was emotionally opposed to the baby's conception by anonymous sperm donation.
But for fans of the world's longest-running soap opera, there was a guilty sense of anticlimax. Was that all? Listeners who had joined in a day-long tweet-along responded with a mix of sarcasm and savagery. "Like England playing in the World Cup, promising a lot, delivering nothing," said one. Many had wanted unpopular figures like Ruth – reviled for her Geordie accent – or Helen to be sacrificed. Nigel, the amiable husband of Elizabeth and father of Freddy and Lily, was much-loved. "Nigel Pargiter [sic]! No!! No no no! Anyone but Nigel. *Palms to cheeks in Munch-like scream*," tweeted Stephen Fry.
Anniversaries in soap-land are traditionally celebrated with death or disaster – Coronation Street recently marked its half-century with a tram crash which wiped out some well-loved faces, EastEnders marked Christmas with a cot death, and a 747 landed on Emmerdale.
But generally The Archers prefers to get its kicks (and its audience spikes) from adultery, such as Ruth's near affair with cowman Sam, or Brian Aldridge and Siobhan Hathaway's steamy love triangle. A guest appearance by the Grim Reaper is not uncommon: Phil Archer died last year, as did Sid Perks, and Betty Tucker, Greg Turner and John Archer have all met their end in recent years, but death has rarely been used as a way to lift ratings.
Yet ever since Vanessa Whitburn, the editor for 20 years, let slip the idea of a storyline that would "shake Ambridge to the core", everywhere from Mumsnet and Twitter to Facebook and even the odd newspaper was rife with speculation. Suggestions included the siting of a new airport on Ambridge, necessitating the razing of the entire village, a gun massacre by rival brothers Ed and Will Grundy, or a suicide bombing.
The absence of an Ambridge Al-Qa'ida cell will please those fans who argue that The Archers should have nothing more earthshaking than a bust-up at The Bull to celebrate its anniversary, in keeping with its highly valued authenticity. For many of the five million who listen each week, The Archers has attained the status of a parallel universe, free from the rules that govern others soaps. "The great thing about The Archers is its ordinariness," said one contributor to the message board last night. "We don't need sensationalism. Leave that to EastEnders and Coronation Street."
Even if Nigel does die, it may not be the end of the affair. David could be charged with manslaughter, or his plummeting body might have landed on another character. Ms Whitburn said she wanted last night's events to shake Ambridge "profoundly and deeply" with repercussions that will "burn slowly". Given her track record, listeners should have faith. "It will still be affecting Ambridge in 10 years' time," she promised.

The opt build is all happy with the test, but I'm marking s-s anyway until this is confirmed to be debug-only/harmless, since it seems that there is something wrong with alignment. Before reduction, the test had this assertion which later didn't show up anymore:
Assertion failure: thing->isAligned(), at gc/Marking.cpp:89
Created attachment 623390 [details] [diff] [review]
This is another exact stack scanning bug, although I think it's a debug-only problem.
We execute bytecode that looks like this:
00046: lambda (function (x) {})
00051: setlocal 2
Currently, the write barrier verifier is called at the beginning of every op in the interpreter, before any code runs for it. However, at that time the JSOP_SETLOCAL code hasn't had a chance to write to slot #2 yet. So we crash when we scan the stack and see bad data in slot #2, which it thinks is live.
This patch moves the write barrier verifier call so that it happens at the end of the op, rather than at the beginning. I'm a little worried that this will just expose other cases where we behave badly. So I added some stack poisoning code that should make it easier for the fuzzers to catch these bugs. I'm pretty sure that the poisoning shouldn't affect register allocation, so hopefully the semantics of the code won't change (aside from the stack slots getting poisoned).

Since babies don't come with instructions, it's important for parents to learn the basics about caring for all aspects their children's health, including dental care. The information provided here will answer some common concerns about baby teeth, also known as primary teeth.

Are Baby Teeth Really Important?

Yes, yes and yes! I have seen many parents opt to pull their child's baby tooth rather than fill a cavity because "it is only a baby tooth and will come out eventually anyway." Baby teeth serve important purposes such as helping the child to speak normal and clear, and to chew naturally. Baby teeth also hold a place for permanent teeth to come in properly.

Will Pacifiers and Thumb Sucking Harm My Baby's Teeth?

According to the Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, pacifiers and thumb sucking only present a problem if they persist for a long time, such as when the permanent teeth began to arrive.

Can I Brush My Baby's Teeth?

Yes, but without toothpaste. You can use a small toothbrush with soft bristles at bedtime to remove plaque and bacteria. Instead of using toothpaste, just use a small amount of water. There are several soft bristled toothbrushes on the market that are designed specifically for infants.

When Can I Use Toothpaste for my Child?

At age two or three, a child should be ready to use toothpaste with fluoride. It is very important that only a small amount of toothpaste is used, such as the amount of a pea. The child should also be watched while brushing to be sure they spit out the excess toothpaste instead of swallowing it.

What Is the Proper way to Brush my Child's Teeth?

Brushing your children's teeth at least twice a day is very important, but it should also be done properly. This easy step by step guide with photos will show you the proper way to brush your child's teeth.

When Should I Take My Child to the Dentist for the First Time?

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, children should visit a pediatric dentist when their first tooth comes in or no later than their first birthday.

What Is a Pediatric Dentist?

A pediatric dentist is a dental specialist that has not only completed four years of dental school, but has also completed an additional 2 to 3 years of specialty training to treat children only.

Many general dentists treat children as well as adults, but a pediatric dentist only treats children. The goal of a pediatric dentist is to teach children the importance of oral hygiene, how to take care of their teeth and to help children feel comfortable about visiting the dentist.

Many pediatric dentists do not allow parents to go back in the treatment rooms with the children. If this is a big issue for you, be sure to ask this question if you are looking for a pediatric dentist.

How Often Should my Child Have a Dental Check Up?

Most children should see their dentist for a regular cleaning and check up every six months. Your dentist will determine if there are any special circumstances that might require more frequent visits.

What Will Happen at My Child's Check Up?

Many children are terrified of the dentist, but going to the dentist doesn't have to be scary if they know what to expect.

When Will my Child get Permanent Teeth?

This chart will show you which permanent teeth your child should be getting at specific ages.

Traffic in Mexico
Due to some warnings on the net I'm a bit scared about Mexican traffic, as I'm planning to go by hired car.
I'm used to (Central)-European traffic circumstances, so do you think I'll get problems? What about the traffic volume in general and the condition of the streets? Is there a high risk of getting involved in accidents? Are the Mexican drivers rather courteous than reckless or vice versa?
PS: I know, I'm asking a lot during the last couple of days, but its due the lack of time caused by special circumstances. normally I plan my trips far more carfefully. So thank you all for your answers!

Modification of Codeigniter Script
- Status Closed
- Budget $10 - $30 USD
- Total Bids 9
Project Description
Project details as follow: To add 3 simple modifications for an existing CMS script. The script to modify is a modified version of a codeigniter based cms script as shown in dropbox link below:
[url removed, login to view]
Due to privacy concern, the actual version to modify will be only be given upon hired candidate. The script to modify will come in 2 variation: 1 running SQLite database and 1 running MySQL database. Both versions need to be modified with the same modifications as follows:
1) To add 1 new button to existing admin panel titled "Games". After user click on it, they will be brought to sub menu which will show 5 different games names in buttons. Scripts of which are provided in dropbox link below.
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
After they click on it, they'll be presented with a interface similar to attached file media [url removed, login to view] whereby they can upload and replace existing media files (including audio and images) in the respective game files. Can you see if you can move the media elements folders of the respective game files to /uploads/generals so that all the media and audio elements are more consistent in the upload folder in the main script? If you can't, that's ok.
*For Cut Off game, please help to edit and add touch control as well
2) To add 2 new "Page Type" when editing / creating new page: Game (Fullscreen) and Game (Page type with game in iframe) as shown in screenshots attached. After admin click on either of the options (Game (Fullscreen) and Game (Page type with game in iframe with site header and menu still visible)), they'll be presented with a drop down list of the games available to set as menu / navigation link.
3) To add 4 new buttons to admin panel. Each button in admin panel will point to a new blank page. Destination as follows:
- Button 1 will point to a iframe link which will show an iframe within the admin panel.
- Button 2 will point to a iframe link which will show an iframe within the admin panel.
- Button 3 will point to a external website in a new window
- Button 4 will point to a iframe link which will show an iframe within the admin panel.
Do take note that the actual script to modify will come in both SQLite and MySQL version and delivery will be both MySQL and SQLIte version of the same modified script. For task 1 and 3, you should not have to modify the database.
As usual, kindly take note of the following criterias in all of the jobs I posted on oDesk since 2007:
1) No callback function to external sites.
2) Upon delivery, code will be verified by myself before payment is released. (This point needs to be very clear.)
3) Changelog to be submitted on a daily basis, and developer must commit to stipulated timeline as stated in job, and all codes to be commented inline accordingly.

Set your sights incredibly low and you will find it's easy to build up momentum. Procrastination is a very real problem, but it is one that you can overcome. It sounds blindingly obvious, but the key to success with any project is getting the ball rolling. Look at your end goal, and it's easy to get overwhelmed, and not do anything at all. If you break things down into the tiniest tasks imaginable, you should be able to build up a head of steam. The tip comes from Leo Babauta on Zen Habits. He suggests setting not just small targets, but absurdly small targets—even if it's, for example, just to write a single word. Advertisement Advertisement Do the smallest possible step. Yes, I mean smallest possible. That doesn't mean, "Write the first section of that report" … it means, "Go to your computer and open a document". Or "Get up off the couch". Or "Write one word". Call that a success. Trust me, if you can take that first tiny step, the next step is a little easier. Get over the initial hurdle by making that hurdle as low as possible, and then keep clearing really easy hurdles until you're an unstoppable force of nature.Try it. Be easy on yourself and move up from there.Making Yourself Work | Zen HabitsReply10 repliesLeave a reply

Walton putting his faith in Arizona to reach Final Four
Lakers forward Luke Walton is headed back to the Honda Center on Saturday, a place that has given him recent joy and painful memories.
Walton was in the building Thursday when Arizona upset defending national champion Duke, 93-77, in an NCAA Tournament game in Anaheim. He was cheering loudly as Derrick Williams scored 32 points as the Wildcats reached the Elite Eight for the first time since 2005.
Fifth-seeded Arizona (30-7) will play Connecticut (29-9) on Saturday in the West Regional final.
The last time Walton was at the Honda Center (or Arrowhead Pond) was as a senior at Arizona and Kansas not only ended the Wildcats' season in the 2002 NCAA regionals, but Walton's college career.
"Man, you had to bring that up, huh?" he said jokingly.
With a convincing victory agianst Duke behind them, Walton believes the Wildcats can beat UConn and reach the Final Four.
"Duke was by far the most talented and we beat them by 20," Walton said. "So I can't see why we can't beat the Huskies."

The only time I mulch anything is if I'm planting it very late in the
season, otherwise the only winter mulch is the plants own foliage. I
tend to have a "survival of the fittest" philosophy, if it can't handle
the conditions I'll find something that will. I'll admit to having been
lucky so far, no losses and most plants seem to be doing well.
