Thomas Crombie Schelling (born April 14, 1921) is an American economist and professor of foreign policy, national security, nuclear strategy, and arms control at the School of Public Policy at University of Maryland, College Park. He is also co-faculty at the New England Complex Systems Institute. He was awarded the 2005 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (shared with Robert Aumann) for "having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis".
Schelling was born to John M. Schelling and Zelda M. Ayres in Oakland, California. Schelling graduated from San Diego High. He received his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1944. He received his PhD in economics from Harvard University in 1951.
He served with the Marshall Plan in Europe, the White House, and the Executive Office of the President from 1948 to 1953.[2] He wrote most of his dissertation on national income behavior working at night while in Europe. He left government to join the economics faculty at Yale University, and in 1958 he was appointed Professor of Economics at Harvard. In 1969 he joined the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.[2]
Schelling previously taught for twenty years at Harvard's Kennedy School, where he was the Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Political Economy, as well as conducted research at International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), in Laxenburg, Austria, between 1994 and 1999.
In 1993 Schelling was awarded the Award for Behavior Research Relevant to the Prevention of Nuclear War from the National Academy of Sciences.[3] He also received an honorary doctorate from Yale University in 2009 as well as an honorary degree from the University of Manchester.[4]
The Strategy of Conflict (1960)
The Strategy of Conflict, which Schelling published in 1960,[5] pioneered the study of bargaining and strategic behavior in what Schelling refers to as "conflict behavior". It is considered one of the hundred books that have been most influential in the West since 1945.[6] In this book he introduced concepts like focal point and credible commitment. Chapter headings include "A Reorientation of Game Theory," "Randomization of Promises and Threats," and "Surprise Attack: A Study of Mutual Distrust."
In an article celebrating Schelling's Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics,[7] Michael Kinsley, Washington Post op‑ed columnist and one of Schelling's former students, anecdotally summarizes Schelling's reorientation of game theory thus: "[Y]ou're standing at the edge of a cliff, chained by the ankle to someone else. You'll be released, and one of you will get a large prize, as soon as the other gives in. How do you persuade the other guy to give in, when the only method at your disposal – threatening to push him off the cliff – would doom you both? Answer: You start dancing, closer and closer to the edge. That way, you don't have to convince him that you would do something totally irrational: plunge him and yourself off the cliff. You just have to convince him that you are prepared to take a higher risk than he is of accidentally falling off the cliff. If you can do that, you win."
Arms and Influence (1966)
Schelling's theories about war were extended in Arms and Influence, published in 1966.[8] The blurb states that it "carries forward the analysis so brilliantly begun in his earlier The Strategy of Conflict (1960) and Strategy and Arms Control (with Morton Halperin, 1961), and makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on modern war and diplomacy". Chapter headings include The Diplomacy of Violence, The Diplomacy of Ultimate Survival and The Dynamics of Mutual Alarm.
In 1969 and 1971, Schelling published widely cited articles dealing with racial dynamics and what he termed "a general theory of tipping".[9] In these papers he showed that a preference that one's neighbors be of the same color, or even a preference for a mixture "up to some limit", could lead to total segregation, thus arguing that motives, malicious or not, were indistinguishable as to explaining the phenomenon of complete local separation of distinct groups. He used coins on graph paper to demonstrate his theory by placing pennies and dimes in different patterns on the "board" and then moving them one by one if they were in an "unhappy" situation.
Schelling's dynamics has been cited as a way of explaining variations that are found in what are regarded as meaningful differences – gender, age, race, ethnicity, language, sexual preference, and religion. Once a cycle of such change has begun, it may have a self-sustaining momentum. His 1978 book Micromotives and Macrobehavior expanded on and generalized these themes[10] and is standardly cited in the literature of agent-based computational economics.
Schelling has been involved in the global warming debate since chairing a commission for President Jimmy Carter in 1980. He believes climate change poses a serious threat to developing nations, but that the threat to the United States has been exaggerated. Drawing on his experience with the Marshall Plan after World War II, he has argued that addressing global warming is a bargaining problem; if the world is able to reduce emissions, poor countries will receive most of the benefits but rich countries will bear most of the costs.
Contributions to popular culture
Stanley Kubrick read an article Schelling wrote that included a description of the Peter George novel Red Alert, and conversations between Kubrick, Schelling, and George eventually led to the 1964 movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.[11]
Schelling is also cited for the first known use of the phrase collateral damage in his May 1961 article Dispersal, Deterrence, and Damage.[12]
Schelling was married to Corinne Tigay Saposs from 1947 to 1991, with whom he had four sons. His marriage to second wife Alice M. Coleman began later in 1991.[13]
Schelling was a contributing participant of the Copenhagen Consensus.[2][14]

Not sure if it's been mentioned but just generally market the club better, I unfortunately through work see a lot of the various stuff United put out and they make such a massive song and dance about literally anything they do whereas we don't. For instance looking on the shop website there's the new training gear for this season available now as well as some new casual T Shirts and Polo shirts yet I've seen nothing on the club website, or social media to tell fans. Also the 6 match bundle deal as far as I can tell has largely only been advertised at matches which means most people seeing will probably already have a ticket for the games. Advertise on Social Media, in the Star, I remember seeing adverts for Season Tickets on billboards a few years ago. Surely any expense would be covered if 1% of people who see the ads buy the 6 match bundle?
Can fans complain? Or does it have to be the manager or club?
Sondico for 150 Year Aniversary Kit?
Don't let Colin's song die ......... Steve Evans is a worthy heir!
Atdhe Nuhiu: "Ich hätte Rapid weiterhelfen können"
Anyway if getting it without sponsor on it?
Wonder how many of those attending considered themselves "citeh" fans 5 years ago?
The reason some Millers call us pigs?

The total number of coronavirus deaths in West Yorkshire is currently just short of 4,000.
And tragically every neighbourhood in the region's five districts except one has been affected by at least one out of the 3,912 fatalities.
An interactive map produced by the Office for National Statistics shows the number of deaths where Covid-19 was the underlying (main) cause on the death certificate in every neighbourhood in England and Wales.
Each area has a population of around 8,000 and the latest figures cover deaths registered between March to December 2020, meaning that the figures from January and February have not yet been reflected.
With 39 deaths, Ilkley and Ben Rhydding in the Bradford borough suffered the most fatalities in West Yorkshire.
It's followed by Lady Wood and Oakwood in Leeds (35), Colton, Austhorpe & Whitkirk in Leeds (33) and Fairweather Green in the city of Bradford (33).

A Tribute To The White Sox's Only Bright Spot: An Ace Who Looks Like A Flamingo
Chris Sale is flying high in a down year for the ChiSox.

Just a day before the trade deadline of a disappointing season — they're 42-69, in last place — the White Sox sent their No. 2 pitcher, 2007 Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy, to the Red Sox in a three-team trade. Given that Peavy had just signed a deal last year that was supposed to keep him in Chicago through the end of next season with an option for the one after that, the trade came as a surprise to some. He may be older, but starters with Cy Youngs don't exactly grow on trees, especially in a league where aces can turn into jokers at the drop of Tim Lincecum's hat. So there had to be a reason for the jettison, right?
There is. His name is Chris Sale, and he's the ace who made Peavy expendable. Also, when he pitches he looks like a flamingo. Here are the best things about him.
1. He's very good at pitching.

Like, really good, especially given that he is the only bird currently playing major league baseball. He's been in the league for four years, two of them as a starter, and he's only 24. He struck out 192 batters in 192 innings last year. He's a two-time All-Star. In fact, he was one sentimental Mariano Rivera 8th-inning victory lap away from this year's All-Star Game MVP award, pitching two hitless innings for the AL win and striking out both Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki in the greatest Chicago assault on the state of Colorado since Al Capone violently cornered the Birkenstock market in 1933.
2. When he pitches he looks like a flamingo.

The flamingo-like delivery, though entertaining, concerns some observers. Sale whips his arm around at a severe angle to create speed. Try to recreate this pose and you'll probably wince:

While Sale's delivery certainly looks unusual, it's up for debate whether it actually puts undue stress on his ligaments in the manner of a Mark Prior or Stephen Strasburg. So far in his career, though, Sale has avoided major injury.
3. And he went to Florida Gulf Coast.

Yeah, the bird-dance guys from the NCAA tournament! Ha, birds all over the place here.
4. He can eat a preposterous amount of food.
Sale is 6'6" — and only 180 lbs. — despite, apparently, eating junk food at all times. An article by Brian Costa in the Wall Street Journal said he might have "Baseball's Greatest Metabolism" and reported that on one flight from Chicago to California, Sale ate two ice cream sundaes and 30 bags of chips. In the time Costa spent in the White Sox locker room before a game, Sale ate three chili dogs.
5. And as a skinny, gangly, hard-throwing pitcher who makes everyone worry he'll get injured, Sale is in great company.
That would be all-time great Pedro Martinez. He and Sale have equally deceptive deliveries (with Pedro closer to a three-quarter angle and Sale almost at a sidearm). These whipping deliveries create similar speed on their fastballs (93-97 mph) despite the fact that they are (or in Pedro's case, were) both considered too frail and slight to sustain such velocity over a career. While Pedro's weight was less of a concern because he's significantly shorter than Sale — who at 6'6" stands a full 7 inches taller than him — in his early days there was near constant talk about how such a tiny man could continue to generate that much speed on his pitches. Three Cy Youngs later, baseball fans stopped wondering and just appreciated the natural beauty of pitching perfection.
Now, I'm no doctor, but it seems that if flamingos can fly 373 miles in one night, this means that Chris Sale can probably pitch safely for the next few years. Or at the very least — if he believes in himself enough — learn to actually fly so he can have a second career as a circus attraction.

In towns like Floodwood, Enbridge's presence 'helps schools fund their very operation'
Pipeline property tax payments 'are the reason that some of our school districts exist,' says Minnesota Sen. David Tomassoni
Property tax payments mean money for roads, bridges, transportation and recreation.
And in some cases, they mean much more than that.
"My experience with Enbridge has always been positive—and they actually are the reason that some of our school districts exist," says Minnesota Sen. David Tomassoni, who's represented District 6, in the northeastern portion of the state, since 2001.
Sen. Tomassoni testified in support of Enbridge's proposed Line 3 Replacement Project during recent Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) hearings, noting that the property tax money Enbridge pays for its Mainline pipeline network in northern Minnesota "helps schools fund their very operation.
"Without that money, those small rural schools—such as Floodwood, Minnesota, for example, population 500—without those pipelines and the property taxes they pay, and the economic impact that they generate, the Floodwood School District would probably not exist," says Sen. Tomassoni, "and (children) would most likely have to go to school up to 45 minutes to an hour away."

Line 3 Replacement Program: A groundswell of support in Duluth
L3RP and the Minnesota PUC hearings: The view from a White Earth construction company
Enbridge's proposed Line 3 Replacement Project in the U.S.—a $2.9-billion private investment, with $2.6 billion of that in Minnesota—would create thousands of family-sustaining construction jobs, a ripple effect through economic spinoffs in right-of-way communities, and more long-term property tax revenue.
It would also replace infrastructure under continuous maintenance with the latest available high-strength steel and coating technology, using modern construction methods.
"It's as much about replacing an old pipeline as it is keeping the trains off the tracks and keeping the trucks off the road," says Sen. Tomassoni.
In total, the project is expected to yield an estimated 8,600 jobs (6,500 of them local), about $334 million in payroll for workers, and total statewide economic impact of more than $2 billion.
"It's a very, very big deal, not only for the economic impact that it will have in regards to Minnesota itself, but also to the jobs it will create," says Sen. Tomassoni.

Q: Firebase Cloud Functions: Error 500 despite successful results I am building the backend of a webscraping application on Firebase Cloud Functions and consists of two functions:

*

*WEBSCRAPER FUNCTION, written in Python3 using BeautifulSoup, to scrape contents from multiple pages (easily around 500 pages),and returns scraped contents as json

*SCHEDULED FUNCTION, written in Nodejs, that calls the webscraper in item 1 at hourly intervals, and updates Firestore with the scraped contents.

The scheduled function uses Axios to perform the get requests.
Problem I am consistently receiving the following error in the scheduled function irregularly. This happens sometimes at every call and sometimes not even once, making it really difficult to debug. The irregularities also occurs across dev, staging, prod environments:
//err.response
{ status: 500,
  statusText: 'Internal Server Error',
  headers:
   { 'x-cloud-trace-context': '2f22d7fc6a9044dcfc31acafc2d50e54',
     date: 'Thu, 23 Apr 2020 04:45:39 GMT',
     'content-type': 'text/html; charset=UTF-8',
     server: 'Google Frontend',
     'content-length': '323',
     'alt-svc': 'quic=":443"; ma=2592000; v="46,43",h3-Q050=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q049=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q048=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q046=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q043=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-T050=":443"; ma=2592000',
     connection: 'close' },
  config:
   { url: 'CLOUD_FUNCTIONS_URL',
     method: 'get',
     params: {//params}
}

Whenever such errors occur in the SCHEDULED FUNCTION, no error actually occurred in the WEBSCRAPER FUNCTION, ie Firebase Cloud Function consoles prints Function execution took XXXX ms, finished with status code: 200 for the WEBSCRAPER FUNCTION.
I have also done checks on the WEBSCRAPER FUNCTION that when it finished with status code: 200, valid results are returned correctly.
Portion of my code as follows:
//In the SCHEDULED FUNCTION where I call the WEBSCRAPER FUNCTION
function getContentPromise(param1, param2) {
    let url = //WEBSCRAPER FUNCTION's url
    let parameters = {param1: param1, param2: param2};
    let config = {
        params: parameters,
    }
    return axios.get(url, config)
    .then((response) => {
        return response.data
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.log('Retrying...', err.response) //Error thrown here
        return getContentPromise(param1, param2)
    })
}

//In the WEBSCRAPER FUNCTION

//At main.py
def scrape(request):
    response_object = scrape(request)
    return jsonify(response_object)

//At the scrape function
def scrape(request):
    param1 = request.args.get('param1')
    param2 = request.args.get('param2')

    //Some scraping stuff happening here using beautifulsoup

    response_object = {}
    response_object[constants.status_code_key] = 200
    response_object['contents'] = contents //contents in json

    return response_object

A: Which firebase plan are you on? Outbound network requests to non-google services are only allowed in Blaze plan.
You can make sure if that is the case with your app if its works in local environment but gives 500 response code in production.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Developments puts a healthy ocean at the core of the global sustainable development agenda. The dedicated Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 14) on oceans, seas and marine resources sets targets for tackling some of the most pressing issues facing the oceans. The responsibility for implementing the 2030 Agenda and achieving the SDGs lies with the member states of the United Nations; however, the transboundary nature of marine resources and threats to the marine environment require States to work together. In light of the holistic nature of the 2030 Agenda, the successful delivery of SDG14 will also require a transition from single-sector management to integrated and coordinated decision-making processes. Regional ocean governance has the potential to facilitate the needed integrated ecosystem-based approach that aligns with the interconnected nature of marine ecosystems and addresses the cumulative impacts of human activities affecting them.
This panel will explore how different ocean governance efforts, including Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans, Regional Fisheries Bodies, Political and economic communities that engage in regional ocean governance, Leader-driven Regional Ocean Governance initiatives, and other ad hoc agreements and initiatives, respond to the challenges and opportunities in implementing SDG 14 and other ocean related SDGs. Regional ocean governance initiatives e.g. in the North-East Atlantic, the Baltic, Arctic, the Western Indian Ocean, Caribbean, or the Pacific, vary widely in scope, mandate and geographical coverage. The panel will discuss different approaches in SDG implementation within marine regions and different concepts of institutional design, including institutional interplay and the diffusion of global norms at the regional level.
The panel will explore comparative cases from different marine regions, geographical scales, actors and governance levels together with analysis from an overarching perspective addressing the following issues with regard to implementing the 2030 Agenda for the oceans:
-	Opportunities and challenges for enhanced cooperation at the regional scale through implementing global norms such as the SDGs or the Aichi targets at the regional level;
-	Institutional interplay between global, regional, national, and local institutions and overcoming fragmentation;
-	Comparative studies exploring the coordination between global goals, regional cooperation and national implementation;
-	Variance in adopting and implementing global norms such as the SDGs at the regional level.

Entrepreneurship is the act of innovating to create new products and services. This can include identifying new potential product markets, filling consumer needs that were previously unmet, or even finding more efficient ways of running a business.
Entrepreneurship necessarily involves uncertainty, in that demand for a new product or service is almost impossible to quantify. When attempting to foster entrepreneurship, managers must balance this risk with the potential rewards.
Economics and technology can create hubs of concentrated entrepreneurial activity, such as in California's Silicon Valley.

Swiss Commodity Traders Return to Desks and Jets as Virus Wanes
Andy Hoffman
Jun 16 2020, 9:30 AM Jun 17 2020, 7:28 AM June 16 2020, 9:30 AM June 17 2020, 7:28 AM
(Bloomberg) -- In the commodities-trading capital of the world, staff at most of the biggest companies are returning to their offices and some are even venturing back into the skies for business flights.
"In Switzerland, we have been quite lucky," said Gerard Delsad, the Geneva-based managing director of Vitol Group, the largest independent oil trader. "It has been very stable."
Geneva, home to many of the heavyweight merchants of oil, grains and metals, didn't dodge an outbreak of Covid-19 but Switzerland as a whole has brought the virus under control much faster than other global trading hubs.
Delsad spoke on Monday as about a third of Vitol's 180 Geneva-based employees returned to the office. Next week, they will work from home again in rotation with another group that will be back in the building.
Restaurants and shops have been open for weeks, and even sex work, which is legal in Switzerland, was back to business on June 6. Many of those employed in the commodities-trading sector, which at about 20 billion Swiss francs ($21 billion) or 4% of GDP is larger than the country's tourism industry, have also returned to their workplaces.
"I work about a day-and-a-half a week in the office," said Mercuria Energy Group Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Marco Dunand. The trading house handles more than 2 million barrels of oil and petroleum products each day.
Dunand set up his workspace in a Mercuria board room at its office on Rue du Rhone, Geneva's priciest shopping street. The former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive, who has family roots in Geneva dating back some five centuries, is spending the rest of his work time up a mountain in the Swiss Alps conducting meetings via video conference.
Commodities trading is responsible for some 35,000 direct jobs at more than 500 trading companies in Switzerland and outstrips Swiss bank financial services as the country's top services export. While many in the sector are back at their work stations, they've done so gingerly with new strict social-distancing protocols.
"Even in Geneva where things are 'back to normal' they are not exactly back to the pre-virus normal," Dunand said.
At bigger rival Trafigura Group, the number of traders and staff in the Geneva office has been steadily rising over the past few weeks. They're following government guidelines including limiting one person to an elevator and keeping distances of more than a meter at desks. Trafigura traders are now permitted to resume flights for "essential business," a spokeswoman confirmed. She declined to say whether staff would be flying by private jet or commercial.
Traders working in Geneva can easily walk, drive or cycle to the office in the small city. Face-masks are not mandatory in Switzerland and borders with neighboring Austria, France and Germany have reopened.
"We continue to follow local regulations and guidance closely, including in Geneva, where our staff is in weekly grouped rotation between work-from-home and the office," said Seth Pietras, a spokesman for Gunvor Group Ltd., one of the five biggest independent energy traders whose main office is in Geneva.
Cofco International Ltd., the Geneva-based global trading arm of China's biggest food company, returned to its office in the city on rotating shifts during the first week of June. Business travel remains banned, a spokesman said.
Agribusiness giant Cargill Inc. is also seeing staff return, with its new Geneva trading office welcoming back about 70 workers, or about 20% of the total, this week. There are no plans to increase that amount in the immediate future and the company is taking a "controlled and phased" approach that includes scores of new office procedures and protocols, a spokesman said.
Even though much of Geneva's commodities-trading industry is back, the way the city's traders do their jobs will remain flexible with remote work, according to Mercuria's Dunand.
"There may be a new way of working," he said. "It won't be 100% the same."

Q: Excel like javascript editing in RoR What i have: A table generated by single cells of values like:

  <%= render :partial => 'partials/fieldtypes/show_in_table', :locals => {:fieldtype => 'textline', :data => {'object' => object, 'value' => 'name'}, :vars => {'textline' => object.name}} %>
  <%= render :partial...

The partial looks like this:
<td class='tablecell' <% data.each do |dat| %>data-<%= raw(dat[0]) %>='<%= raw(dat[1]) %>' <% end %> >
  <%= render :partial => 'partials/fieldtypes/show/'+fieldtype, :locals => {:vars => vars} %>

Now i want to edit single entries/cells of that table like in MS Excel by doubleclicking on them.
The site is running on full javascript, so pages are not being linked.
So what i want is: Generating (not prerendering and switching visibility!) a form everytime the user wants to edit a field (by doubleclicking).
My ideas so far: As you can see i was trying to store all the necessary data in html5 data-tags to generate the form. The plan was to call a controller action everytime a cell is doubleclicked and to generate the form with the database connection with rails.
Problem/Question: Does this work that way? Because the data in the tags looks converted and useless for further interaction. And if it works: How do i create a controller action for that with a proper route?
Or are there any easier solutions? As stated i do not want to render the form hidden directly!

A: Check this gem out it is exactly what you want to do

Whiteface Mountain Covered in Snow!
Since I've been saying the fall foliage display is at 'peak' eye candy impressiveness for the last two weeks, I must admit the leaves in and around Lake Placid are just a smidgen past peak today. Not to worry, we are not hurting for photo-worthy vistas as you can see in today's photo. We had our first bit of snow last night, which was not visible until the clouds lifted this morning to reveal their surprise.


What strategies are you using to promote the Fahrenheit brand?
The strategy is very clear. The question is how do you push a hotel? What are the main things to sell the hotel or the main revenues of it that get the public's attention? First of all we start with the ambience of the hotel, the ambience of the rooms and then of course the ambience of everything else at the hotel. It is a very cool vibe here. The rooms are immaculately well done. The strategy is to let people know that they are getting a different experience than they would do at other hotels. We want to promote those means of revenue.
Are there any particular events that you are holding here?
We started off doing the normal jazz Sundays and one or two pool parties but now with the new year we are developing a new style of event. We have some great ideas in the pipeline; one will be kicking off in the next two weeks. I can't really say more right now as it is top secret. Hopefully you will be here to experience it. Let's just say it has a lot to do with fusion. We are going to be fusing different types of music and putting in everything else in between.
We have some great ideas in the pipeline; one will be kicking off in the next two weeks. We are going to be fusing different types of music and putting in everything else in between.
We can talk about it at the end of the month then. Is there anything else you would like to highlight?
Maison Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit Loft are very strong brands in the hospitality industry. If you want your pure lifestyle hotel, that would be Maison Fahrenheit. If you want your business traveller hotel that is discrete and quiet, that would be Fahrenheit Loft. The ambience is pretty much the same for both hotels but then again Fahrenheit Loft is a lot quieter. In Maison Fahrenheit, the tempo is a lot more up there because the Rue 80 rooftop is where all of the action is. The brand is trying to put a dent in the hospitality industry in Nigeria which has been growing for a very long time and move it on to various other things as well. I believe that very soon over the next ten to fifteen years, there should be Fahrenheit hotels across Africa and maybe hopefully around the world.
My background started in sales and then I fell into talent management in London. I did that for five years and then I came over to Nigeria and saw the opportunities here and I evolved into a PR/booking agency. I represent a few brands such as Keturah King from CNN Africa, Mary Dinah the Ambassador of Tourism for Lagos, and a few others. The opportunities that are here are totally amazing. I saw that and I decided to take advantage of it. Where my company the McErnest Company is going, is to become one of the fastest growing booking and PR agencies in Lagos.

The past couple of weekends, while rounding on patients, I got to periodically keep up with the various playoff games as they were happening because so many patients had the games on in their rooms.
Today, everyone had the inauguration ceremony on. Our team just happened to stop into two consecutive patient rooms with serendipitous timing, the first just at the right moment to see the swearing-in and then the second just in time to catch Beyonce's national anthem.
Our patient, when Beyonce started singing - quietly, musically, sweetly - said out loud, "Why she singin' like that? Why she bein' all quiet like that?? I don't like this voice." Her mother chimed in, "That's not Beyonce!" And then, a couple of seconds later, when the singer opened up her famous pipes and started belting it out, they both together said, "There she is!!"
So there was our whole team, six of us, standing in a semi-circle around our patient's bed, with our patient and her mother sitting on it, and all of us in the room watching the TV screen for the whole two minutes and twenty-five seconds it took for our national anthem to be sung, not moving.
And I have to admit - I got ever so slightly choked up.
Looking around the room, I was suddenly filled with pride, even patriotism. The people in that room represented at least five different ethnicities. We had originated from at least three different countries. We hailed from several different states and had very different backgrounds. Most of us spoke different languages from each other. We all stood, spellbound together, and watched our democratically-elected African-American president be inaugurated for the second time, peacefully and with great celebration, in front of an enormous crowd at least as diverse as the group we made up. It was sort of beautiful.
I was also thinking about where I was four years ago, when President Obama was sworn in for the first time. I was in Charlottesville, VA, in the middle of my post-bac year, probably studying for an organic chemistry exam and praying with all my might that my efforts in that program would get me into a medical school. And that made me think something else, too - it continually amazes me how crazy-fast time flies, but not only that, it made me realize just how glad I am to be here, in this place, doing this work, with these people, today. I may not always feel it, but I am lucky.


inspiring temporary learning communities around the world. Teens and young adults are invited to participate in Project World School's immersive learning events around the world. Designed for homeschoolers, unschoolers and democratic learners alike, we offer immersive multi-day retreats formed as Temporary Learning Communities. Each retreat utilizes the enigmatic landscape of each country as the canvas for exploration and discovery.
Project World School's Family Adventure retreat is a two week community gathering focused on discovery & experience. This retreat takes place in the heart of Peru's Sacred Valley with an emphasis on cultural immersion, exploration and hands on local crafts and cooking. No trip to Peru would be complete without a trip to the enigmatic site of Machu Picchu!
Our 24 day learning community is centered in Wales with an emphasis on exploring sustainable living, earthen construction and farm living. In the amazing countryside we will be able to experience the culture through local storytelling, botany, beekeeping and food foraging. During the retreat, we'll build a cob roundhouse from the earth up!
Project World School was born from an inspired idea: co-create temporary learning communities around the world with teens and young adults, in order to collaborate in rich experiential and social learning. During the retreats, both natural and academic learning occurs through immersive cultural experiences while encouraging social learning, teamwork and leadership. Participants create strong connections to other participants, the world around them and community through a rich collaborative environment. Teens who participate are inspired to continue their worldschooling explorations (and most return for other retreats).
I can honestly say my cultural horizon and worldviews have been expanded because of everything we did and experienced during the retreat.
After the retreat, I realized that learning in a group was Way more fun then I thought it was going to be. It was amazing how all of us would go into that particular learning experience with all of are different interests and opinions, then at the end of the day share our opinions and viewpoints with the group, therefore expanding the learning experience even further. I liked learning in community more than I could have imagined.
About learning: I know that it is a lot more complex than it's given credit for and that it's easy to get anxious/scared when in a new situation. So one key thing I learned in the retreats is to stay relaxed and openminded. I got to practice this during the retreat and realized afterwards, I learned so much!
My experience with Project World School has given me a much needed spring in my step! I have a significantly higher level of confidence coming off the retreat. Easier for me to confidently say YES now after watching myself excel as a volunteer, especially on the days when I was feeling down, on the days where self doubt crept up on me the most. I still did what I needed to do. And did it well.
Before I left to come to Thailand, I've never been outside the US and now after a 22 hour flight I was on the other side of the world! Before the retreat I didn't know I could do a lot of the things we did. Now I feel much more capable. As a teen I am always trying to figure out the world. And it just got a lot bigger.
During the retreat I felt both supported and that I was among a group of equals. It was incredible to work with a group that was so ready and willing to say yes, no matter the task. In the end, we build a house together and that showed me what what possible with teamwork.
Before the retreat I didn't feel at peace with myself or the world. But after the retreat I feel great. I feel more at peace with myself, who I am and my life choices. Also more in control of my emotional self.
I just realized, in the past year, every time I have completely stepped out of my comfort zone is when I have been my happiest and have felt confident. And I can confidently say, I am pretty proud of myself. I went to Peru for almost 3 weeks and I met the most amazing people and saw the most amazing things. Stepping out of my comfort zone resulted in some great things happening for me. And I am so grateful.
After coming home from the Ecuador retreat, I had a heightened sense of pride in who I am and what I do. It became apparent to me what is important in my life and what isn't; something that was murky to me before. Project World School really opened my eyes to the world.

They say they were abused by priests, then silenced. Now these women are speaking out
What she found at first was "really like a family," she said. But two years later — by which time she was preparing to become an "oblate," a lay person affiliated with a religious order — she says a pattern of sexual abuse by a charismatic priest who she considered her spiritual father began. It took 15 years for Lucie — a pseudonym used at her request to protect her family — to realize that what she says she experienced over several months in the 1990s was abuse. At the time, just 18 years old, she felt "disgusted" by the physical intimacy she says the priest forced on her but also wracked by guilt and powerless to stop him. "It was like automatic you know. He wanted to go to the end — to ejaculation — and I was just like an object for him and I had a feeling he did this a lot of times," she said. Her story is not unique.CNN has spoken to several other women who say they are victims of the devastating sexual, psychological and spiritual abuse they suffered within the Community of St. John. For Liene Moreau, who says she was abused by a priest in France for 15 years, starting when she was a novice, or trainee nun, in her 20s, the breach of trust and of faith were the hardest part to deal with. "The psychological abuse was worse than the sexual abuse; it's my inner life, he took my dignity, my femininity, all that I was. And still today it is very hard to have confidence in myself," she said. 'Acts contrary to chastity'The order to which the women belonged, the Contemplative Sisters of St. John, was founded at St. Jodard in the Loire region of France, in the early 1980s — one of three orders set up by Father Marie-Dominique Philippe.Laurence Poujade, a former nun who now heads a victims' organization, says Philippe's doctrine — and his crimes — are at the heart of the order's problems today."He believed that because he was involved in mysticism, everything was possible," she told CNN. "But no, everything was not possible."I think very often about the victims who will never be able to be heard," she said. "We are talking about victims who don't speak out, but what about those who went straight to psychiatric hospitals, what about those who mutilated themselves? I know of one case, her parents called me to tell she had cut out her own tongue. What can you say? What can have happened for a victim to do that?"In 2013, seven years after his death, the Brothers of St. John revealed that Philippe "had committed acts contrary to chastity with several adult women whom he accompanied at the time." Nuns were among the victims of this abuse, the order later confirmed. For years, there were also rumors about other priests and other victims within the order. But the lid was fully lifted on the scandal earlier this month, when Pope Francis for the first time acknowledged the sexual abuse of nuns and other women by priests and bishops as a "problem" for the church. In one breakaway part of the Community of St. John, "corruption" had reached the point of "sexual slavery," he told reporters, leading his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, to dissolve it in 2013. The Vatican subsequently sought to soften that characterization, saying that when Francis "spoke of 'sexual slavery,' he meant 'manipulation,' a form of abuse of power which is reflected also in sexual abuse." But the genie was out of the bottle. And it's clear the Catholic Church — already grappling with a global scandal over the sexual abuse of children by clergy — has questions to answer. Pope's words 'like a bomb'Shortly after the Pope's comments, the Community of St. John issued a statement recognizing that, beyond the allegations against its founder, "some sisters or former sisters have also testified that brothers and priests of the community were also responsible for abuse. Many of these brothers and priests have already been sanctioned and others are in the process of being sanctioned." CNN contacted the Vatican for a response to this story; its spokesman would not comment on any specific allegations but did confirm that cases involving clerics belonging to the Congregation of St. John were being investigated by the Vatican. For Lucie, Francis' words were a watershed moment. They brought huge relief — and a sense of justification after years spent struggling to be heard. "When I first read the article, it was incredible, it was like a bomb," she told CNN, in her first interview about her experience with a branch of the St. John community in Switzerland. "I thought, like, okay, everything we tried to tell the Vatican, the Pope, the bishop, there is something happening… because sexual abuse, nobody ever say before." 'I couldn't see him as a predator'Lucie told CNN her alleged abuser had misused his position of authority and the order's central tenet of "loving friendship" to justify what he was doing. On the first occasion Lucie says the priest tried to kiss her on the mouth, she pushed him away. But she says he was not deterred. "I didn't feel I had any power in front of him, I couldn't say really something. When I was trying, he always had arguments to tell me that I'm wrong and he's right. How can I not believe him?" she told CNN. "He was taking off his clothes and I saw everything — it was the first time of my life, and I was really disgusted. But I realize that on the moment I didn't feel anything. Because I was not there anymore, it was a protection, to not feel." Lucie has struggled to grasp why she didn't realize what was happening at the time but now believes it was down to that disassociation and what she calls brainwashing. "It was absolutely 100% impossible for me to see him like a predator," she said.In response to the allegations made by Lucie, a spokesman for the St. John community told CNN there had been "several accusations of sexual abuse" made towards this particular priest and that he had left the community 10 years ago. "It is now the Vatican's responsibility to look into these complaints and a legal proceeding is ongoing," the spokesman said. "All the measures at our disposal have been taken to remove him from the community."Search for justiceThe problem is not isolated to one rogue community. In recent months, CNN and several other news organizations have highlighted the abuse of nuns by male clergy elsewhere in Europe, as well as in Asia, South America and Africa. Bishops from around the world have been summoned by the Pope to an unprecedented summit this week in Rome to discuss the crisis over clerical sexual abuse. But the four-day meeting will likely focus on the shocking array of claims of abuse of children. All the women who spoke to CNN said their first struggle was simply to recognize the abuse for what it was. Only after many years did they seek justice, first within the church and then through the courts. Lucie, who is now married with five children, tried to take her alleged abuser to civil court, but a Swiss public prosecutor ruled that the statute of limitations had expired. A lawyer for the priest declined to comment to CNN on the allegations made by Lucie. Lucie, who eventually moved to Belgium and still attends church regularly in the small village where she lives, says that before attempting legal action, she had tried unsuccessfully to raise the issue with the St. John community. "After I don't know, maybe two years, I was conscious that the community was not doing anything, I was talking about (it) with other victims, realizing that they know, that it's been 15 years that they know, that there's other victims. So they don't want to do anything," she said. Moreau, now 41 and married with three daughters, tried to take her alleged abuser to court in France, but the statute of limitations meant the case was dropped by the Tours prosecutor. She sought a meeting in 2017 with the priest in question, to confront him, but was advised against it by the order. A brother from the St. John community sent an email in November 2017, seen by CNN, in which he acknowledged "the gravity of the abuse" Moreau suffered but said she must see a psychotherapist for her own sake before seeking contact with that priest. In letters shown by Moreau to CNN, dating from her time with the order, the priest suggests "discretion… in the future we will have to meet elsewhere … I pray that we can find clever ways of meeting." He ends by saying that his "crazy love" for her comes from Jesus. Moreau, who is Lithuanian and at first spoke limited French, now thinks the priest may have targeted her in part because of that. "I was far from my family, in a foreign country, this is already something, and that might also be why he chose me, an easy prey in the end," she said. The priest also made her believe that the fault was hers, as a "temptress," she said, despite the fact she says she tried to distance herself from him. The priest in question is being investigated by the Vatican and has been removed from some of his duties, a St. John community spokesman said. In a February 7 statement, the leaders of the three orders within the Community of St. John said they condemned "every situation of sexual abuse and abuse of power" and reaffirmed "their clear resolve to eradicate any and all abusive situations." They said the order dissolved by Benedict in 2013 — and referenced by Francis — was a small, Spain-based splinter group which separated from the St. John community in 2012 after church authorities tried to bring in reforms following Philippe's death. The dissolution of the order has brought little closure for Moreau, who is still coming to terms with what she says happened to her. "It lasted for 15 years, and it's now been two years since I was able to put the word 'abuse' on this, and still today it's very complicated to admit that I might be a victim," she said. "If only just for myself, I don't want to be a victim. And yeah, I feel responsible because he made me responsible, he made me complicit in his acts."CNN's Melissa Bell and Saskya Vandoorne reported from St. Jodard, while Laura Smith-Spark wrote from London. Barbara Wojazer contributed to this report.
