KF Ti-Touch titrators offer routine water determination on a small space.
Designed as easy-to-use and compact systems, they are equipped with a variety of features to make your work more comfortable: color touch screen, shortcuts for favorite methods, KF icons indicating the instrument status, and many more.
The KF Ti-Touch is available as a volumetric system for determining water contents above 0.1% and as a coulometric system for low water contents down to 0.001%.
The 917 Coulometer is a compact titrator for coulometric water determination in accordance with Karl Fischer. ''Reduced to the max'' – operating module, stirrer and pump are integrated in the 917 Coulometer for rapid reagent replacement. This saves a great deal of space on the laboratory table.Recommended measuring range: 10 µg…200 mg absolute waterCoulometry is the ideal method for water content determination in liquids, solids and gases in the trace range. In addition, coulometry is an absolute method and thus no titer determination is necessary.The 917 Coulometer now also fulfills FDA Regulation 21 CFR, Part 11. This means you are always on the safe side when it comes to audits.
"Reduce to the max" – that is the concept behind the 915 KF Ti-Touch. The new compact titrator for Karl Fischer titration from Metrohm offers the maximum in the class of stand-alone systems for routine analysis.Burets, stirrer, dosing unit and Touch Control are integrated in a single, compact system unit. This saves a great deal of space on the laboratory table.The 915 KF Ti-Touch now also fulfills FDA Regulation 21 CFR, Part 11. This means you are always on the safe side when it comes to audits.
With the 917 Coulometer teaming up with the 915 KF Ti-Touch, Metrohm is now offering a compact, easy-to-use, and reliable titrator for any water content.
Like its volumetric counterpart, the 917 Coulometer is operated via an integrated touch-screen control unit and is capable of analyzing water concentrations down to 0.001%. And to make operation even easier, the titrator will start the determination automatically when you add the sample.
If you are looking for a compact titrator for accurate volumetric or coulometric water determination, then look no further.
KF Ti-Touch titrators take up little space on the bench, as the buret, stirrer, and the Touch Control unit are integrated in one case.
These titrators have a touch screen display for your convenience. In addition, you have the possibility to create shortcuts to start your favorite method with one button.
And there's more: the KF icons on the screen will always let you know whether conditioning is still going on or whether you may start the titration.
KF Ti-Touch titrators don't need a PC, and you don't have to worry about data security and network integration.
Tamper-proof PDF reports can be created on the instrument and saved on a USB stick or directly transferred to your LIMS or intranet via Ethernet connection.
As the KF Ti-Touch titrators use Dosino dosing devices, you can avoid contact with the KF reagent.
And thanks to the Dosino and the built-in pump, exchanging the reagent couldn't be easier: All it takes is pushing a button. Plus: The 917 Coulometer starts the determination automatically when you add the sample.
The 915 KF Ti-Touch version has a safety-stop function to prevent the titration cell from overflowing during conditioning, e.g., if the electrode is not connected or if moisture is present in the cell.
Your samples can't be analyzed directly? Then have a look at Metrohm's range of instruments for sample preparation: oven, homogenizer, and evaporator.

Conference Description
Al-Andalus in Motion Conference was held
Scientific Studies Association (ILEM) organized the international conference of Al-Andalus in Motion: Travelling Concepts and Cross-Cultural Contexts
The international conference of Al-Andalus in Motion: Travelling Concepts and Cross-Cultural Contexts kicked off in Istanbul on November 15-16, 2018. Scientific Studies Association (ILEM) as a partner of Language Acts and Worldmaking Project was organizing this conference with the attendance of 21 academicians from 9 countries.
Language Acts and Worldmaking is a flagship project funded by the AHRC Open World Research Initiative, which aims to regenerate and transform modern language learning by foregrounding language's power to shape how we live and make our worlds. Language Acts and Worldmaking examines language as a material and historical force which acts as the means by which individuals construct their personal, local, transnational and spiritual identities. Learning a language means understanding the historicity of concepts, beliefs and social practices—how they operate in the past and present.
The history of Iberia, as both an originator and a product of global colonization, constitutes a field of study for interrogating fundamental concepts of contemporary liberal-democratic societies. The 'Iberianate venture' embraces the 'Al-Andalus' syndrome (Islamic Andalusia as a model of tolerant co-existence between Christians, Muslims and Jews), the Iberian 'Black legend' (repressive Inquisitorial Catholicism, imperial brutality, economic backwardness), and Sefarad (an ambiguous place of home and exile for Iberian Jews). Within the framework of the 'Traveling Concepts' strand of Language Acts & Worldmaking, this conference will focus on the many ways in which Al Andalus becomes a figure of thought, a means by which societies, minority groups, and individuals past and present represent and critically engage with questions of religious pluralism, intercultural contact, and national identity.
The conference was the hosted by ILEM Association Building in Uskudar, Istanbul on November 15-16, 2018.

Nicholas IV of Constantinople
Title: Nicholas IV of Constantinople
Nicholas IV Mouzalon (Greek: Νικόλαος Μουζάλων) was the Patriarch of Constantinople from December 1147 to March/April 1151.
Nicholas was born in ca. 1070, and probably began his career teaching the gospels. Emperor Alexios I Komnenos (r. 1081–1118) appointed him as archbishop of Cyprus, but Nicholas abdicated the see in ca. 1110. He spent the next 37 years in the Monastery of Saints Cosmas and Damian in the Kosmidion suburb of Constantinople (modern Eyüp).
He was elected to the patriarchal throne in 1147, replacing Cosmas II, who was accused of Bogomilism. His election however caused considerable controversy: its canonical validity was called in question, since he had voluntarily resigned from his previous see. Eventually, Nicholas was forced to resign as patriarch, and died in 1152.
He wrote a number of theological works, amongst them a treatise refuting the Filioque addressed to Alexios I, and a vivid poetic defence of his first abdication.

Junghwa Suh, D. Arch., assistant professor in the Environmental + Interior Design (E+ID) Program, has received an honorable mention in the 2016 CIDA (Council for Interior Design Accreditation) Award for Excellence Competition. Open to faculty members and collaborating teams at CIDA-accredited interior design programs, the competition recognizes outstanding practices in interior design education and honors design educators for their exceptional work.
Dr. Suh's submission "Learning on the Go: Using Mobile Tools in Design Education" researched opportunities for students to explore and analyze key design elements and principles in various interior spaces. In order to facilitate understanding and application of how the components of lighting design are integrated and designed in various interior spaces, students needed to analyze the components in a physical context. She used mobile technology as a tool to provide students with a way to visit various interior spaces and conduct meaningful visual analyses. Instead of seeking a specific educational mobile application, Suh chose Instagram, a social networking mobile application which her students were already familiar with and constantly using. The activity was successfully introduced and developed in her "Introduction to Lighting Design" class.
In fall 2016, Makana Mattos, Faculty Center instructional designer, and Tom Galli, Communications senior lecturer, had encouraged Suh to enter the competition. "The research had been already done, so it was a matter of making a video, which was the media format requirement for the award competition," Suh noted.
Besides Mattos and Galli, two of her students participated in the video. Jenelyn Sison and "Ryan" Zhu Fan had been in her E+ID 325: Intro to Lighting Design class in a previous semester and had participated in her Instagram class activity.
In recognition of her achievement, CIDA will widely publicize her entry in the media, on its website, and through social media. Award winners will also be recognized at the upcoming Interior Design Educator Council's Annual Conference in Chicago, Illinois this spring. Dr. Suh has also been invited to present her research at the IDEC conference.
"Overall, this was indeed an accomplishment in my design education career and E+ID program," wrote Suh. "I thank Makana, Tom, Jen, and Ryan for helping me to make this wonderful video. This gave me a chance to share my teaching methodology with everyone in the world. I am also thankful for the continuous support from our E+ID director Joan Riggs and from the Chaminade Faculty Center," she added.
The Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) is an independent, non-profit accrediting organization for interior design education programs at colleges and universities in the United States and internationally. For more than 35 years, this knowledge-driven organization has been passionately committed to the ongoing enrichment of the interior design profession through identifying, developing and promoting quality standards for the education of entry-level interior designers, and then encouraging, accrediting and supporting educational programs to aspire to those standards. Through a process of program self-evaluation and peer review, accreditation promotes achievement of high academic standards, while making education more responsive to student and societal needs. The Council engages nearly 200 volunteers, all drawn from interior design practice and education, to carry out its work. More than 150 interior design programs are currently accredited by the Council, serving an estimated 20,000 students. The Council for Interior Design Accreditation is recognized as a reliable authority on interior design education by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). The CHEA-recognized scope of accreditation is professional-level interior design programs that culminate in a bachelor's or master's degree located in the United States and internationally. Chaminade's E+ID program has been accredited by CIDA since 2013.
Chaminade University offers the only degree-granting Environmental + Interior Design program in the state of Hawaii and is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), the body that oversees and evaluates academic standards for baccalaureate institutions. Chaminade's comprehensive Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program prepares students to embark upon a successful career in interior design, environmental design, and other design-related fields. The degree satisfies the educational requirement for professional licensing through the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ), as well as prepare students for post-graduate studies and entry-level positions in the field. The E+ID program is unique from other academic programs, in that it extends beyond the traditional scope of interior design by encompassing the broader aspects of the environment into the design process. The curriculum addresses the symbiotic relationship between the indoor (built) and the outdoor (natural) environments by cultivating a design approach that integrates rather than compartmentalizes the spaces and places humans occupy.

4 Field Colloquium: "A Rightful Share: Beyond Gift and Market in the Politics of Distribution"
411 West Hall
Tweet Google Email
The paper develops an argument that new kinds of welfare states in the global South are opening up possibilities for new sorts of politics. Against an analysis of the limitations of traditional ideas of nationalization in Africa, it seeks to show that new forms of social assistance are allowing the question of national ownership of wealth to be reimagined in new ways -- ways that may allow the idea of a "rightful share" to take on a quite different significance than it does in traditional discussions of nationalization of natural resources. Taking recent campaigns for a "Basic Income Grant" (BIG) in South Africa and Namibia as a window onto these new political possibilities, it argues that a new politics of distribution is emerging, in which citizenship-based claims to a share of national wealth are beginning to be recognizable as an alternative to both the paradigm of the market (where goods are received in exchange for labor) and that of "the gift" (where social transfers to those excluded from wage labor have been conceived as aid, charity, or assistance). Beyond the binary of market and gift, the idea of "a rightful share", it is suggested, opens possibilities for radical political claims that could go far beyond the limited, technocratic aim of ameliorating poverty that dominates existing cash transfer programs.

FDA Reports Menthol Cigarettes Pose a Greater Risk than Regular Cigarettes
Cheri Cheng
Update Date: Jul 23, 2013 03:08 PM EDT
To say that smoking is extremely detrimental to one's health should be of no surprise to any one by now. Recent anti-smoking campaigns and initiatives have spread awareness about the health dangers behind smoking. Although cigarettes can lead to different types of cancer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today that menthol cigarettes might pose a greater risk than regular cigarettes.
The FDA reported that after a preliminary assessment of menthol cigarettes and the effects they have on health, the agency found that mint-flavored menthol cigarettes could be "associated with greater addiction." This conclusion was based on the fact that the agency noticed that people who smoked menthol cigarettes exhibited "greater signs of nicotine dependence and [were] less likely to successfully quit smoking."
Even though the FDA has not issued any regulatory plans, the agency hinted that it might consider taking action against menthol cigarettes specifically, which would affect the sales of this type of cigarette. In 2011, the FDA 's tobacco-products advisory committee did discuss the possibility of removing menthol from cigarettes stating that it could benefit public health. However no actions followed.
Menthol cigarettes are popular amongst smokers, which might explain why regulations have not been placed. Around 80 percent of African American adult smokers prefer menthol cigarettes. Around 30 percent of all adult smokers in the U.S. prefer menthol cigarettes and over 40 percent of youth smokers stated that they smoked menthol cigarettes over regular ones.
As of 2009, Congress gave the FDA the right to regulate cigarettes. Earlier this year, the FDA did use its authoritative power and rejected four cigarettes. Whether or not the agency will choose to regulate menthol cigarettes remains to be seen. The FDA has issued a formal notice hoping to get public opinion on the possibility of regulating menthol cigarettes. Even if public comments sway the agency to regulate menthol cigarettes, changes would still take awhile. The FDA stated that it planned on funding three additional studies to evaluate the differences between menthol and regular cigarettes before making any huge regulatory changes.

Last December marked the 30th anniversary of the terrible Spitak Earthquake, which shook Armenia and killed anywhere between 25,000 and 50,000 Armenian nationals and left thousands orphaned. Twenty-one years after this tragedy, natural disaster befell yet another small country in the world. This week marks the ninth anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti, which claimed anywhere between 100,000 and 300,000 lives. After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, I thought of a friend who, during the 1988 Armenian Earthquake in Spitak, was under the rubble for three days before she was rescued.
Haiti's earthquake was a humanitarian nightmare. People all over the world did their best to respond. The United States provided nearly 60,000 Haitians with Temporary Protected Status (TPS). But this November, the Trump administration said it's canceling the humanitarian program that has allowed thousands of Haitians to live in the US. If they don't leave by July 2019, they could be deported. Naturally, the public has responded with protests with statements from public officials, including New York Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte, herself a Haitian-American. Haitians in the US, similar to Armenians in the US, send millions of dollars back to their homeland to support their families. Haitians in New York and Florida including the Family Action Network Movement, which filed a class action lawsuit exposing the racist immigration policies of the Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security, are waiting for justice.
Nine years after its earthquake, Haiti is still in extremely poor condition. It has been a painfully slow recovery. There are a number of social-historical factors that explain why bouncing back from such a devastating event—difficult for any developed country—has been particularly hard for Haiti.
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anybody that it has a lot to do with colonialism. During my research, I found out that when Christopher Columbus landed in Haiti in 1492, there were an estimated 500,000 indigenous inhabitants—the Taino-Arawak and Caribs. Fifty years later, they were nearly eradicated due to disease and Columbus' cruel genocidal policies. Columbus was so sadistic that his own men sent him back to Spain in chains.
In 1697 the Spanish ceded a third of the island to France, whose colonists began forming sugar and coffee plantations and engaging in slave trade. Many of their slaves were the Fon people from Dahomey. Vodun (more commonly known as "voodoo") was a traditional religion of the Fon and many other West African indigenous peoples. It was forbidden in French colonies but nurtured in secret as a vital spiritual force that connected them to their ancestors and gave them a sense of dignity to survive. Their trances built skills to remember a spiritual purpose separate from the horrors of daily slave life.
The Haitian revolution, the largest and most successful slave revolt in the Western Hemisphere, started in 1791 with a voodoo Bwa Kay Iman ceremony. They invoked their ancestors the Minos, which means "our mothers," and referred to the Dahomey Amazons, a fierce female militia that protected their king. Toussaint L'Ouverture united a vast network of over 200 slave leaders that started a 13 year freedom struggle in which Jean-Jacques Dessalines defeated the British, Spanish and even Napoleon's army!
In 1801, Haiti became the first post-colonial, independent, black-led nation in the world, but was economically shunned by powerful empires, which had been built on the backs of slaves. The US—being one such empire—boycotted Haiti while France demanded 150 million francs to compensate for their stolen land. It took Haiti over 120 years to pay off this debt, which greatly impoverished the country, and now many Haitians are demanding France return this extorted money.
In 1915, the US invaded Haiti, transferred $500,000 in gold reserves to New York and changed Haiti's constitution so foreigners could own property. In 1919, the US Marines killed rebel Charlemagne Peralte and photographed his body mounted on a flagpole with a crucifix. Hundreds of copies were distributed as a warning not to protest US occupation. The US would not allow Haitians to elect their popular leaders and instead, supported dictators like Papa Doc and Baby Doc, leaders who abused the people and ran up a debt of hundreds of millions of dollars.
In solidarity with the Haitian earthquake victims, I wrote a poem called "I Am Sailing On A Raft Of My Bones." I have read it at many Haitian benefits and on Haitian radio, always mentioning how in 1915, while the US was invading Haiti, the Ottoman Turks were committing the Armenian Genocide.
It was no accident that the US invaded Haiti during Woodrow Wilson's presidency. That man was a white supremacist if there ever was one. It was Wall Street banks that encouraged the invasion. Many of the commanding officers in the invading force were racist southerners.
This was an extremely informative article of which I was totally unaware of. Thank you for the detailed info and the knowledge base. Much appreciated. Please continue to inform us of these horrendous facts of life. So sad yet much needed to know (the info).

Student demands ignite campus debate
Oct 24, 2016 by Amelia Diehl	in News
Amelia Diehl/The Round Table
Outside the Office of Residential Life and Student Engagement and Leadership, a group of students waited for doors to be opened the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 5. A few minutes after 8 a.m., Office Coordinator Elise Bottensek opened the doors, muttering "good morning." The group entered swiftly, and arranged themselves on the floor between the desks of Bottensek and Secretary of Student Engagement and Leadership Kim Larsen.
The students were members or allies of Students for an Inclusive Campus, which organized an occupation of the Office of Residential Life. This was the third and last day of an occupation of the office on the second floor of Pearsons to put pressure on administration to address a set of demands released on Monday, Oct. 3. On Wednesday, Oct. 5 the administration officially agreed to meet the demands.
The demands were drafted in response to a discussion about inclusivity and racism held the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 28 at an all-staff residential life meeting with all forty-seven Residential Assistants and three hall directors. Discussions about inclusivity had been instituted into the residential life program starting the previous school year.
Three RAs had volunteered to get extra training to lead these discussions. The week's discussion "involved reflecting on a short portion of the presidential debate and aimed to identify bias by both candidates. The idea was to experience, and then later be able to model, civil discourse in areas where disagreement is likely," as Dean of Students Christina Klawitter wrote in the all-campus email addressing the demands. "This conversation turned from a productive exploration to one that was hurtful to many minority RAs, particularly when some suggested RAs should adopt a neutral stance on questions involving race and privilege, for the latter claim dismissed the reality of their lived experiences," the email continued.
Several students walked out of the meeting, and one, Angela Castrillo-Vilches'19, quit her job immediately. She has since been reinstated.
Director of Residential Life John Winkelmann, who is on the RA hiring committee, regretted what happened in the meeting. "I missed an opportunity to jump in and help out. Could have happened differently," he said. "Lots of stuff was said and we can't take it back once things are said."
He was "not surprised" at the demands, as many students expressed concern following the meeting.
"I felt for the students that were sitting here. I appreciated their gumption to be here and make that happen," he said.
The day after the incident on Sept. 28, SIC executive members drafted seven demands and planned the occupation. The demands address a variety of residential life issues including calling for anti-bias trainings, immediate bias incident responses, including the definition of inclusivity in syllabi, ensuring that student RAs and OLs are placed and represented appropriately by identity such as hiring more trans and gender non-binary RAs, requiring student groups using student fees to provide inclusivity events, and requiring future incoming students, faculty and staff to receive information about race and other marginalized identities.
"These demands are not ridiculous. These demands are fairly simple. We use the language of the college," Devin Anderson'18, a Residential Assistant on SIC executive board, said. "This college says it's an anti-racist institution. This college has drafted a definition of the word inclusivity. We're using that to hold the college accountable."
Anderson also addressed the notion, expressed by some around campus, that the demands and sit-in were unnecessary.
"What is wrong with a group of students trying to make this campus a better place?" he asked. "What is wrong with a group of students saying this campus has treated marginalized bodies poorly for too long? That's what we're doing. And if students can't handle that, or they're pissed off about it, we're pissed about this happening every day. This is lived experience."
Some students had mixed feelings about the occupation and the impetus for it being initiated. A student, who wishes to be anonymous, and who identifies as "a person of several marginalized identities", saw it as an "unearned win."
"None of the demands are going to change any of the systemic or institutional problems that are at the core of the problem," the student said. "We barely inconvenienced anybody. It's a good thing that better inclusivity policy was put in writing, but to me it just seemed like everyone was playing the role of radical, just to pat themselves on the back for being good activists."
"My biggest issue was that everyone was outwardly mislead by SIC," they added. "From the information that was given to me, I believed that when the issue arose at the RAs meeting the concerns of the RAs were ignored immediately. This is not what happened.
"I've spoken with RAs who supported the sit-in," the student continued, "and they said that is a very inaccurate portrayal of what happened. There was discussion, and some people's opinions were heard even if no consensus was come to. Good things came of this sit-in, but there is no denying that facts were twisted and portrayed in a way that was misleading."
For those three days, from 8 a.m. until the office closed at 4:30 p.m., students trickled in when they could, sitting silently, reading or working on laptops surrounded by signs reading "you can't be neutral when it comes to race." Some slept. In the hallway, a poster covers the office signs with a quote from Dante Alighieri, "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality," and the hashtag #OccupyResLife.
Student and staff employees in the office continued to work, with Larsen and Bottensek occasionally asking students "Can I help you?" Some were referred to services, while others sat down. One day when two students tried to sit on the chairs, Bottensek immediately told them "The chairs are for people who have meetings in offices so you'll have to find a spot [somewhere else]."
Meanwhile, members of SIC negotiated with the administration throughout the day, finally reaching an agreement at 2 p.m. on Wednesday that the demands would be met in full.
For Desireé Amboree'18, an RA who attended the meeting of the incident and helped plan the occupation, "negotiations were hell. So emotionally draining.
"It was some of the worst things I've had to sit through," she continued. "It may sound like I'm being dramatic but we read about institutionalized racism all day long in class, but midterms week I was face to face with it. I had to sit across people that I had respected, that I had thought respected me, that I thought valued me and my peers, and come to the realization that that just wasn't true. At least not how I had envisioned."
While the protest made Amboree feel "exhilaration," it also added stress.
"I was afraid to walk alone, I was afraid of what someone who did not agree with the protest would do to me," she continued. "I was afraid we would have to continue protesting because it was midterms week, but I was ready for that possibility. I was afraid the demands would not get met. I was afraid I would lose the respect of faculty and staff who did not agree with the protest. I was terrified the whole time," she said, adding "but I would 100 percent do it again if I had to."
Several faculty and staff members, such as Senior Director of Academic Diversity and Inclusiveness and anthropology professor Dr. Nicole Truesdell, religious studies professor Debra Majeed, history professor and department chair Beatrice MacKenzie, Inclusive Success Coordinator Paul Dionne and anthropology professor Jennifer Esperanza, expressed solidarity with the effort. Faculty and staff stopped by to give encouragement and snacks. Dean of Students Christina Klawitter sat down to chat with students occupying the hallway.
After the demands were released over StuBoard and Facebook, and before an official response was released from the administration to students, Provost Ann Davies sent an email to faculty and staff Monday. A professor, who wishes to remain anonymous leaked the email, which reads, "I spent some time this morning reviewing the demands from the Residential Assistants in solidarity with Students for an Inclusive Campus and had a good conversation with the group this afternoon. Their demands are thoughtful, realistic, and concrete, and they remind us of our students' lived experiences on this residential campus that have an inevitable impact on their learning. I encourage you to learn more about the demands and to engage them, whether in your classes or with your advisees. The students with whom I spoke are eager for that kind of discussion, and I, at least, learned a lot from listening to them."
Following a meeting at 12:30 p.m. between SIC and administration, Klawitter sent out a campus-wide email with an apology and specific responses outlining how each demand has been or will be met.
Truesdell sent a reply praising the students participating in the protest. President Scott Bierman sent an email at claiming Beloit has a "brighter future" as a result of these actions.
The Monday following fall break, President Bierman sent a follow-up email outlining a draft of the inclusive living and learning goals, drafted independently of the occupation.
Per the third and fourth demands, Truesdell, Dionne and Youngblood led the all-staff residential life anti-bias training meeting last Wednesday. This week, it will be led by Amboree, Castrillo- Vilches, Anderson and Charlotte Mayeda'18.
While the demands are set to be met, both students and administration admit there are significant roadblocks to progress.
"We need to be learning about each other. That's a part of what we all do in Res Life. And we have places where it works better than others," Winkelmann said. "Part of how that works is how we social norm around here, but the norm is around anti-racist inclusivity and students drive the norm in many ways on campus just on how you drive the norms on all sorts of things."
"I think our inability to truly see one another is a major hindrance to change regarding inclusivity on campus," Amboree said. "I also think that the institution just fundamentally has different goals and values. Does financial gain or students' safety and inclusion take priority?"
"As a community, we all must continue to learn, even if that learning is imperfect; and none of us can stand silently by, even when speaking up is uncomfortable," Klawitter wrote in her all-campus email.
Amboree encourages students to get involved with SIC. The club meets Thursdays at 8 p.m. on the third floor of Pearsons.
Members of the administration did not provide further comment at the time of publication.

Blue Mitchell & Orchestra: Smooth As The Wind + A Sure Thing (2 LP on 1 CD)

Reference: FSRCD 790
When these recordings were made in early 60s, trumpeter Blue Mitchell was already a mature artist: a thoughtful musician with an individual voice, who had made a name with Horace Silvers quintet from 1958 onwards. Both Smooth as the Wind and A Sure Thing were true hallmarks in his career. Designed to show all his talents, in them he is supported by two large and fascinatingly seductive settings. The first is a summation of the tonal color, lyricism, and good taste that marked Mitchells playing up to that point. Benny Golson and Tadd Dameron wrote and conducted the skilled strings-and-brass orchestrations. While Golson provides more space for the soloist and arranges pretty little backdrops for him to play off, Dameron supplies intricate patterns of voicing and musical shifts.
The second album presents Mitchell in a vigorous and well-balanced set of arrangements scored and conducted by Jimmy Heath. Apart from Mitchell, one of the most melodic trumpeters of his generation, Heath (on tenor) is the other main soloist, in virile and inventive form throughout. Baritonists Pepper Adams on Blue on Blue, and Pat Patrick on Hip to It, also contribute a couple of tough, passionate solos, while Wynton Kelly is the personification of self-assurance, good taste, and unabated swing throughout.

Note: Track 18 is part of the Blue Mitchell LP The Cup Bearers, included on the CD Blue Mitchell & Junior Cook (FSR-789), but Why Do I Love You? was left out because it did not fit the maximum playing time of the CD.
"Blue was already established as a top trumpet soloist with Horace silvers quintet when Riverside attempted to give him a change of pace and setting. They provided string and brass orchestras and, on 7 of the first ten tracks, highly serviceable arrangements by Tadd Dameron, that most underrated of the top modern jazz writers. Always a melodist, Blue gives his own very personal accounts of standards like But Beautiful, The Nearness Of You and Best Things In Life Are Free. His brassy, warm sound shines out on these and compositions by current, at the time, boss, Silver and Wes Montgomery. Other arrangements by Benny Golson and Jimmy Heath are very good but lack the special sound that Dameron always conjured up. The Dameron penned tracks also benefit from having Philly Joe Jones at the drums. He gives an extra lift and blazing swing to all the pieces he plays on.
Although these tracks sometimes sound like the old with strings sessions that all top soloists of the time used to get involved in, there is more variety, particularly on the A Sure Thing session where Jimmy Heath has several biting solos and baritone man Pepper Adams has a brisk workout. Smooth as the Wind and A Sure Thing were originally issued as two separate LPs and the full contents of both are on this single Fresh Sound CD. Hootie Blues has one of Blues best and most lyrical solo outings and there is a strong contribution from pianist Wynton Kelly. The final selection here is Why Do I Love You and comes from a third session, The Cup Bearers, which featured the current Horace Silver band with Cedar Walton on piano in place of the leader."

Adilson Miranda, mais conhecido como Dinho (São Paulo, 3 de fevereiro de 1950 — Registro, 6 de dezembro de 1980), foi um futebolista brasileiro que atuava como meio-campista. Dinho foi campeão brasileiro pelo Internacional de Porto Alegre em 1979.

Carreira
Seu aprendizado no futebol ocorreu no "Centro da Coroa F.C.", time de futebol da várzea localizado no bairro Vila Guilherme, em São Paulo.

Seu primeiro contrato para jogar profissionalmente foi assinado com o Esporte Clube São Bento em 1971. Em 1972, transferiu-se para Recife para jogar no Clube Náutico Capibaribe, onde atuou por duas temporadas. Em 1974, transferiu-se para o Paysandu Sport Club.

Em 1975, retornou para a cidade de São Paulo para jogar no Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, time do coração de toda a sua família, inclusive do jogador. Porém, o meio-campista encontrou uma forte concorrência na posição, com os jogadores Basílio, Lance e Ruço e não firmou-se como titular. Nos dois anos que permaneceu no Corinthians, fez 85 jogos, 56 começou como titular, e marcou apenas 13 gols.

No final da temporada de 1976, o clube paulista negociou com o Coritiba Foot Ball Club e Dinho foi trocado pelo goleiro Jairo do Nascimento, que era titular no clube paranaense. Jogando pelo alvi-verde curitibano, Dinho conquistou o seu primeiro título quando foi campeão paranaense de 1977.

Afastado por indisciplina no Coritiba, assinou contrato com o Internacional de Porto Alegre em 1978 e no clube porto-alegrense, Dinho fez as suas melhores temporadas na carreira, onde foi campeão gaúcho de 1978 e campeão brasileiro de 1979, além de vice-campeão da Copa Libertadores da América de 1980. No colorado gaúcho, disputou 114 jogos e marcou 30 gols.

Acidente e morte
Ao final da temporada de 1980, Dinho decidiu viajar de carro com a namorada, Rosangela Zanella, para a cidade litorânea de Caraguatatuba, onde tinha imóveis. No dia 6 de dezembro, saiu de Porto Alegre com o seu Puma e o porta-malas cheio de galões de gasolina, pois nesta época era comum em longas viagens, levar combustível extra, muito pela recessão econômica que deixava o preço do produto muito mais caro em postos das estradas, ou ainda pela falta de combustível em muitos destes estabelecimentos.

Ao chegar nos limites da cidade de Registro e por uma razão desconhecida, Dinho saiu da estrada e bateu num barranco. Com o impacto e o combustível extra no porta-mala, seu carro explodiu, matando carbonizados Adilson e sua namorada, Rosângela. No local do acidente, junto com o carro, foi encontrado um pedaço de carroceria de caminhão, mas esse veículo nunca foi encontrado e as razões do acidente nunca foram descobertas.

Since the first serious use of online campaigning by John McCain in 2000, online tools such as web advertising, interactive websites, complex social networking, and virtual fundraising have become central to success in politics, and especially in campaigns.
In response to this phenomenon, we created a graduate certificate that teaches students how to master the world of online communications, networking and fundraising.
The Graduate Certificate in Digital Politics consists of 18 credit hours (6 classes), including Online Political Strategy; Managing Online Communities; Videography; Targeting, Microtargeting and Analytics; an elective of your choice; and a Capstone seminar.
Like the other certificate programs offered by the Graduate School of Political Management, any student who completes the certificate and successfully applies to the master's program can count all 18 credits towards the master's degree.

Affinity Education Group has announced its 2018 Quality Review Team, tasked with training and supporting best-practice processes and embedding National Quality Review standards across its network of more than 160 child care centres around Australia.
Queensland-based Jodie McClelland – an industry professional with more than 28 years experience in the early childhood sector – will lead a national group of highly experienced early childhood professionals in each state.
"Our Quality Team ensures our strategic direction of coaching through the 'GROW' model is maintained across compliance, business expectations and most importantly, early childhood education." Mrs McClelland said.
The Affinity Quality Review process - unique to the Early Childhood sector – involves quarterly reviews carried out at the centre level by internal industry professionals.
Each centre is assessed against performance indicators which include the National Quality Standards, relevant legislation, state-based learning frameworks, and internal policies, procedures and processes.
Supporting the Quality Review process is a national program of coaching, training, communication programs and support designed to build the competency and individual achievements of Affinity's staff.
"At the heart of the Quality Review process is our goal of ensuring the best early education outcomes are being achieved for the children in our care," Mrs McClelland said.
"There is a direct correlation between centres who perform well in our Quality Reviews and those who achieve a rating of 'Meeting' or 'Exceeding' from the Australian Children's Education & Care Quality Authority (ACECQA)," she said.
In 2017, Queensland-based Ipswich Kiddie Care achieved an ACEQCA 'Meeting' rating after a series of four Quality Reviews within a twelve-month period which gave the team clear direction and identified opportunities for improvement.
"Affinity's Quality Reviews are such a motivating factor for my team," Centre Manager Jessie Baker said.
"The things which matter most to us – our family satisfaction, and the early education we are delivering to the children in our care – was absolutely enhanced by our focus on Quality, and we were delighted to achieve our goal of a 'Meeting' ACEQCA rating," she said.
At Little Tots Stretton, Centre Manager Carol Johnston leads a team known for their warmth and devotion to the children and families who are part of the community. The centre was among the top performers in the 2017 Quality Review process.
"The Quality Review Process has been a wonderful journey for all centre employees, our QA's passion for providing Quality Care is invaluable and she has been a fantastic mentor for all of us." Ms Johnston said.
"We have seen an increase in occupancy, greater community connections, an enriched program focusing on natural sustainable environments and embedding the Lifelong Learning School Readiness program are just to name a few."


The ripple effects caused from the Chase incident have just begun. The fallout is massive, and for the first time in history, it seems the US financial system responsible for transacting trillions of dollars per year is vulnerable. The entire security defense chain failed miserably, starting from the security products at HQ, to the defense-in-depth strategy, and everything else in between. Although Chase generates $96B in annual revenue, has a market valuation of $226B, and spends $100M on cyber security, a small lapse in judgement created an entry point for hackers. Chase is increasing its cyber security budget to $250M, but is that going to be enough to protect against future threats? Banks can no longer depend on cyber security companies to fortify their data assets. They must get involved, and be a part of the external teams that are creating these products and services.
The big issues facing the Home Depot's of the world include the following: shortage of InfoSec engineers, high turnover of InfoSec staff, and perimeter based security solutions not talking to the edge security POPs. Below is an idea that was presented a few weeks ago that takes a deeper look at security from a global perspective, and takes into account the different pieces of the security puzzle. For illustration purposes, we call it the "Akamai Global CDN Bank Shield." The concept is simple to understand. Akamai and Verizon EdgeCast are the only two CDNs that can do this because its requires massive investment in infrastructure, and people resources.
To summarize the illustration, Akamai would take a big role in securing the banks data assets, and integrate their security platform into the banks back end security infrastructure. Akamai would act as the primary SecOps team for the banks, monitoring every alert, making sure the threats are mitigated quickly. The NOC would consist of a few hundred SecOps members that are solely dedicated to the banks. Banks have a difficult time retaining InfoSec engineers, but Akamai not as much, since they are pushing the security innovation envelope, and engineers like that.
CDN integrates into existing back end security infrastructure such as Palo Alto, FireEye, Symantec, Cisco….
