Although Live released its first big-label disc, Mental Jewelry (which was produced by former Talking Head Jerry Harrison), in 1991, most of the band had been together for quite a while. All hailing from York, Pennsylvania, Chad Gracey, Patrick Dahlheimer, and Chad Taylor began playing together in middle school, adding Kowalczyk after the three failed to win the Great York Talent Hunt. The follow-up disc, which differed from those of many other alternative bands because of Live's wish to, in the words of lead singer Ed Kowalczyk, "…make it more than your average trip down angst lane," was Throwing Copper (1994), which yielded "Selling the Drama" and "Lightning Crashes," and eventually sold more than six million copies. Live released its third album in 1997, Secret Samadhi.


Swedish designer and Hong Kong resident David Ericsson launched Void Watches in 2008. The line includes digital, quartz, and automatic watches with a Scandanavian modernist aesthetic. As Ericsson describes it, "Our design philosophy is to create unique products using as simple geometries as possible and bring them to life using honest, traditional materials." The results are inventive, effective, and most important to The Time Bum, quite affordable, like the $215 V03D reviewed today. The price includes international shipping and a 2-year warranty.
The V03D (V03D-PODGGB to be precise) is a three hand analog with a date function. The polished stainless steel case is 38mm wide and 10mm thick with a slim bezel and mineral crystal. Movement is a trusty Miyota quartz but Void does not specify which one. As is true of most inexpensive quartz watches, the second hand lands somewhere between the markers. Water resistance is a mere 30m, so it is best to keep it out of the pool. The slim lugs hold an unadorned 18mm leather strap that tapers to a polished 16mm buckle. The case back is polished and engraved with Ericsson's signature, surrounded by basic specs and the Void URL on the perimeter. I like the fact that all surfaces are polished, not just the parts that are visible when worn. A push-pull crown sits at 3:00. It is large and knurled, offering a curious contrast to the highly polished case. Both the buckle and crown are engraved with the Void logo.
The dial is dark grey with both polished and blue printed elements. The straight hour markers are applied and polished, and barely raised above the dial. The indicies between them are printed. The dial layout is vaguely military, with two sets of Arabic numerals printed in a clean, unadorned typeface in a concentric arrangement. Hours form the outermost ring, while a smaller set of 5-00 in increments of five form the inner ring. The baton hour and minute hands are polished and filled with the same blue paint as the markers. The overall effect is muted, modern, and attractive. The alignment of the numerals is a distinctive touch, and although it means those in the lower half of the dial are upside down to the viewer, this does not affect readability. One the other hand, the blue-on-grey color scheme is not what one would call high visibility, but it is sufficient under most light conditions. Most, but not all. In low light you must rely on the reflection off the polished hands and markers. Failing that, the lack of contrast and illumination make it unreadable. Other versions have better contrast, but in the V03D series, the blue-on-grey is by far the most distinctive. It is not a color combination you will find on many watches, but it is a choice of form over function. The only text or brand identification on the face is and infinitesimal "Void Watches" at the outermost edge of very bottom of the dial. In a world where many manufacturers clutter their dials with rows of pointless text (yeah, I'm looking at you, Rolex), this nearly sterile dial is particularly refreshing.
The black on white date window replaces the 15 position on the inner ring. It is the only thing breaking the muted color scheme, but it breaks it in a big way. Every other element is subdued, but the white disk pops out to steal attention from the rest of the dial. It is also the only numeral that appears in a linear orientation, which is made all the more obvious by its position next to the sideways 3. It is a small thing, and I understand at this price point it is not cost effective to print custom date wheels, but I would rather have seen the date eliminated altogether in favor of maintaining uniformity and symmetry.
I found the Void to be comfortable to wear and surprisingly versatile. Its modest dimensions allow it to slip easily under a cuff, and the grey color pairs well with clothing on the cooler side of the color spectrum. It is hardly a tool watch, but the knurled crown and vaguely military dial give it a functional vibe that does not look out of place with jeans on the weekend. On the other hand, the muted colors, undecorated strap, and polished case dress it up enough for business casual or even a charcoal suit.
Overall, I rather like the V03D. It is smart and stylish with clever elements and uncommon colors. It does not shout for attention, but gets noticed by those who appreciate its subtle, modern design.
Pro: Uncommon color and sophisticated style.
Con: White date wheel detracts.

Joe Greswell admitted to mixed emotions after his Wyberton side were beaten 4-3 by Lincs League leaders Lincoln Moorlands Railway.
The Colts trailed 4-1 at the interval before staging an attempted fightback in the second half at The Causeway.
"I'm happy because we showed great character in the second half to not give up and keep going to the end, but disappointed that we found ourselves 4-1 down going into half time," he said.
"We didn't do too much wrong first half, just two or three of the lads had off days and Moorlands made us pay.
Greswell admitted that days like Saturday showed why Wyberton aren't quite ready to challenge at the top of the table.
"A number of times other managers ask me why aren't we up there, why aren't we challenging. This is the reason why," he added.
Moorlands's first was a well-worked goal coming from the right-hand side.
A dangerous ball and a defensive mix up allowed a tap-in.
Number two saw Gary Nimmo volley home a 30-yard effort into the Wyberton net.
The third came from Wyberton getting caught out high up the pitch.
Nicky Frost gave Wyberton a lifeline, tapping home after Jamie Elston forced the keeper into a smart save.
Just when Wyberton thought they was back in it, Moorlands grabbed their fourth, Nimmo on target again with the goal as he cut back inside and thundered home.
The second half was a very different story.
Moorlands thought the game was won and Wyberton had nothing to lose, which made for an interesting 45 minutes.
Janson Pinner got Wyberton's second as he fired home from inside the 18 yard box.
Frost scored his second goal as his shot from outside the area flew into the bottom left-hand side.
Wyberton and Moorlands kept pushing each other with Moorlands not finding that killer goal and Wyberton making Moorlands earn their victory.


It is a curious fact that there is such a thing as being proud of grace. A man says, "I have great faith--I shall not fall; poor little faith may, but I never shall." "I have fervent love," says another. "I can stand; there is no danger of my going astray." He who boasts of grace has little grace to boast of. Some who do this imagine that their graces can keep them, knowing not that the stream must flow constantly from the fountainhead or else the stream will soon be dry. If a continuous supply of oil does not come to the lamp, even though it may burn brightly today, it will smoke tomorrow, and noxious will be its scent.
Pay attention that you do not glory in your graces, but let all your glorying and confidence be in Christ and His strength, for only in this way can you be kept from falling. Be much more diligent in prayer. Spend longer time in holy adoration. Read the Scriptures more earnestly and constantly. Watch your lives more carefully. Live nearer to God. Take the best examples for your pattern. Let your conversation be full of heaven. Let your hearts be perfumed with affection for men's souls. Live in such a way that men may recognize that you have been with Jesus and have learned of Him; and when that happy day shall come, when He whom you love shall say, "Come up higher," may it be your happiness to hear Him say, "You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, and henceforth there is laid up for you the crown of righteousness that doesn't fade."

Human microbiome-derived bacterial strains with antitumor activity
Vedanta Biosciences, a clinical-stage company developing a new category of therapies for immune-mediated diseases based on rationally defined consortia of human microbiome-derived bacteria, today announced a publication in Nature reporting a newly discovered mechanism underlying antitumor immunity that involves human microbiota-driven induction of interferon-gamma-producing (IFNy+) CD8+ T cell accumulation in the gut and tumors.
Led by Vedanta's scientific co-founder Kenya Honda, M.D., Ph.D., of Keio University School of Medicine, the research also led to the identification and selection of a defined consortium of human microbiome-derived bacterial strains that harnesses this mechanism of antitumor activity and cooperatively potentiates responses to checkpoint inhibitor therapies and immune challenges in general. Based on this research, Vedanta is advancing VE800, a proprietary clinical candidate designed to enhance immune responses…

Gut microbiome regulates the intestinal immune system
A new study in mice unveils the role of vitamin A in immune system regulation, a finding that could assist in developing treatments for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases as well as vitamin A deficiency.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Scientists have long known that bacteria in the intestines, also known as the microbiome, perform a variety of useful functions for their hosts, such as breaking down dietary fiber in the digestive process and making vitamins K and B7.
Yet a new study unveils another useful role the microbiome plays. A team of researchers from Brown University found that in mice, the gut microbiome regulates the host's immune system — so that rather than the host's defense system attacking these…
Gut bacteria influence the progression of multiple myeloma
By interacting with the immune system, some types of gut bacteria can influence the progression of multiple myeloma, a tumor that affects the bone marrow causing pain, anemia and bone fragility.
The discovery, limited so far to the animal model of the disease, is published today in Nature Communications by the team of Matteo Bellone, head of Cellular immunology Unit at IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele. The study, supported by AIRC – The Italian Association for Cancer Research – is among the first to trace a direct link between intestinal microbiota and a tumor located in a different organ, thus demonstrating the capability of these bacteria to interact with the whole organism. Moreover, researchers identified a biological marker that could…

Cannes Lions owner: agency groups may have found 'right level' by sending fewer delegates
The owner of Cannes Lions has suggested that this year's drop in attendance by the big ad agency groups could be a permanent shift as they may have "got to their right level for them".
Industry sources say attendance by the leading ad agency groups has dropped by up to a quarter (not including Publicis Groupe), as ad agencies feel the final squeeze.
WPP and Omnicom have maintained they have each sent about 20% fewer people. Interpublic said it has cut by 15%.
Dentsu and Havas have sent broadly similar numbers as before but they are smaller ad groups.
Duncan Painter, the chief executive of Ascential, the parent company of Cannes Lions, said: "My sense is probably the holding companies have got to their right level for them."
Painter maintained that efforts to "reset" expectations and refocus Cannes Lions on creativity were paying off, after Publicis Groupe pulled out this year because it said the festival had become too bloated.
"If you look at who they [the agency holding companies] are sending less, it's not the creatives, it's the media people," he said.
"Creative teams are still being sent in good numbers. They are exactly who we want at Cannes Lions."
Ascential was expecting fewer attendees because it reduced the number of awards and shortened the length of the festival in response to Publicis Groupe's criticism.
Even so, spending by the other agency holding companies has been lower than Ascential expected and regular visitors at Cannes Lions have commented that this year's festival has felt notably quieter.
Awards entries have dropped about 20% to 32,000 but Painter said the number was slightly up, if the effects of the Publicis Groupe withdrawal and the reduction in the categories are set aside.
He pointed out that other companies, including independent agencies, management consultants and some of the Chinese tech firms, have been sending more delegates.
"Through our changes [to the festival], I do believe that people are much focused on the work and the creativity than the parties," Painter said.
"We have been taking a number of measures to get the balance right and ensure the Palais is very busy."
Seventy-four chief marketing officers and marketers – about three times as many as before – are speaking on-stage at the Palais this week.
Cannes Lions has been encouraging more brands to attend the festival at a time when many of the big agency groups have been feeling financial pressure.
"Our focus over the next couple of years is getting brands into the event," Painter said. "We want brands taking the lead, talking about what they want from creativity and from agencies."
Painter believes Cannes Lions, which had turnover of £66m in 2017, can return to growth in 2019, not least because Publicis Groupe is set to return.
There were more than 10,000 paying delegates last year. Final numbers are disclosed after the event has completed.
Separately, Ascential hosted investors at Cannes this week where the British information and events group gave a presentation about the future shape of the digital economy.
The presentation included a revealing slide that showed a shift from brands using ad agencies and publishers to communicate with customers in the past to a new, more connected world where brands are able to interact with consumers in a direct relationship, underpinned by data.
Ascential has a joint venture, Spikes, with Haymarket, the owner of Campaign, in Asia.

Babies who gain weight slowly will catch up with their peers by the age of 13, according to the BBC News website. The reassuring report comes with advice from researchers for parents not to over-compensate by increasing their child's calorie intake.
The news is based on analysis of long-term research, which began in the 1990s, into a host of health issues. The analysis looked at children with poor weight gain during infancy (failure to thrive) and whether this led to long-term problems as a child grew older.
It found that on average, babies who had poor weight gain as infants achieved more-or-less average heights and weights by 13 years. However, their growth was a bit lower than their peers. Babies with later weight gain problems gained weight steadily to the age of 13 years.
Generally, these babies with low-weight problems went on to have slightly lower weight and height as teenagers, compared with teenagers who did not have growth problems in the first nine months of life. Overall, measurements were within the normal range expected for age.
It is worth noting that the study cannot prove that this will be the case for all children, partly because it is unclear how many of the babies received nutritional or medical interventions and due to problems collecting all the data on all of the children. Despite this, the study's results appear both reliable and reassuring.
Parents may naturally be concerned if their baby is underweight, but this study would suggest low birthweight (at least in the developed world) has little effect in later life.
The study was carried out by researchers from the KP Agricultural University in Pakistan and the University of Bristol in the UK.
One of the researchers received funding from three baby food manufactures: Pfizer Nutrition, Danone, and Plum Baby. As the study did not discuss the potential benefits (or harms) of baby food, this does not appear to represent a conflict of interests.
The original cohort study (The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children) was funded by the Wellcome Trust, the UK Medical Research Council and the University of Bristol. The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal, Pediatrics.
The story was covered appropriately by BBC News.
This was an analysis of data from a previously conducted large UK cohort study.
The researchers investigated the growth outcomes of children at the age of 13 years. They then compared these in children who had poor weight gain (early or late) in the first nine months of life and those who had normal growth.
Large cohort studies are the best way to follow outcomes over time and are usually designed to be representative of the population (in this case, babies born in the former county of Avon). Cohort studies such as this avoid the bias of relying on referred samples of children with failure to thrive.
However, a practical drawback of cohort studies is that because they often run for long periods of time, follow-up can be difficult for participants and researchers.
Researchers used data on 11,499 children who were part of a large Bristol-based study in the 1990s, called The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
Children were excluded from the study if they had a major congenital abnormality likely to affect growth (such as cerebral palsy), were twins or triplets, were born pre-term (less than 37 weeks gestation), or were born post-term (more than 42 weeks gestation), or if any data on them was missing. Babies with extreme weight measurements were also excluded.
To determine weight gain in the first nine months of life, weight measurements were taken at birth, six to eight weeks (which ranged from one to three months) and at nine months (which ranged from six to 12 months).
These weight measurements were then converted into 'weight scores' that took into consideration age and gender by using a growth reference chart.
Growth was measured by calculating the difference in the 'weight scores' between two time points (birth to eight weeks, and eight weeks to nine months). The researchers adjusted their results for gender, age and the initial weight of the baby when it was born.
Babies who had difficulties putting on weight and had weight gain in the lowest 5% of normal weight gains for age were compared to babies who had normal weight gain at each time interval of the study and at 13 years.
Those identified as having early weight gain problems had improved weight gain in the period eight weeks to two years, and after that gained weight at the same rate as control infants who gained normal weight throughout the first nine months of life.
By the age of 13 years, children identified as having early weight gain problems had similar measurements for BMI, arm circumference and waist circumference.
The children identified as having late weight gain problems (in the period from eight weeks to nine months) showed a steady, slower weight increase up the age of 13 years.
These children with late weight gain problems only had enhanced weight gain compared to the controls in the period between seven and 10 years.
The cases identified as having late weight gain problems remained slightly lighter and shorter compared to controls at the age of 13 years.
The researchers conclude that children with weight problems before eight weeks showed a different pattern of 'catch up' compared to babies with weight problems between eight weeks and nine months of age. They say that infants with early weight gain problems 'caught-up' in weight at the age of two years, but that height gain was achieved more slowly.
The researchers say that growth outcomes of babies with weight problems were not significantly different to babies considered to have normal weight gain, but that babies with initial weight problems tended to be shorter and lighter.
Overall, this study provides some evidence that babies considered to have growth problems in the first nine months of life have similar growth measurements at the age of 13 years when compared to baby's considered not to have growth problems in the first nine months of life.
The researchers report there was a large amount of missing data, with some outcome measurements only available for 44% of those measured at the age of 13 years. Reassuringly however, there was no difference between missing data between groups.
No data is reported for growth up the age of 18, so findings cannot be translated to children above the age of 13, when children are still growing.
It is also not known which babies received nutritional or medical interventions if they were identified as having early growth problems, which limits the study findings.
Despite these limitations, this study provides reassuring news for parents overall.
If you are worried that your child is underweight then seek advice from your GP.

These days, it's rare to luck into a project where you have a good product with an interesting story, a provocative brief, very challenging market conditions and a strong creative legacy. Re-launching Sapporo beer to North America was that project. As an added bonus, I got to work on my own and directly with the Executive Creative Director. Creative from 2010 had beautifully positioned Sapporo as "Legendary Biru". The challenge was to move Japan's oldest beer from sushi restaurant special toward everyday consumption. I can't claim any credit for the lovely execution, showing the stories of real Japanese people who have embraced Western culture, but I'm proud to say that I was instrumental in the conception of this campaign celebrating the benefits of cultural exchange.

#pepsiMoji
Proof that Canadian ideas are as powerful as any in the world. Pepsi Canada asked us to pitch for a summer promotion. So we came up with the idea to put emoji on their cans and bottles - pepsiMoji - and created a whole new real world way for people to express themselves. Six months, 60 designs, 17 billboards and six videos later, pepsiMoji came to market on more than 186 million cans and bottles across Canada. We vaulted Pepsi back to number one cola in Canada. And in 2016, pepsiMoji was launched in more than 100 markets worldwide.

However, TIFF doesn't want these trailers to be ads, their audience doesn't appreciate commercial messages before their films. Despite this, RBC wanted to make sure their new "Someday" campaign was part of the message. I think we managed to tread that fine line well with this simple, inexpensive approach.

I love radio. It can be very powerful, is relatively easy and inexpensive to produce and often, is overlooked and underestimated.
Older work that I think still holds up. This was one of the campaigns that helped put Vancouver creative on the national/international stage in the late 90's. It won tons of awards, was included in the world's funniest commercials, an article was written about it in Vancouver magazine. "Vegetarians" made it into D&AD. Cab drivers and your aunt Dorothy talked about these ads. Heady days, indeed.

Posters for a chain of health clubs. It was a quick, casual project - my partner used to instruct there - and so we pulled some favours and got these produced. The campaign appeared in Archive. as well, this appeared on the Cannes website when Nancy Vonk selected it as one of six pieces that she thought represented the best Canadian work the year she was on the jury.

I've had the pleasure of working with many exceptional creative directors, account people, planners and clients. And they have nice things to say about me.
To promote new store openings using existing assets and no budget, we came up with this simple, fun idea.
C.D.s: Peter Ignazi / Carlos Moreno
This work was done for a pitch. The strategy aimed for high school athletes. I like the simple boldness of the art direction, which was based on their bottle design.
A.D.s: Mark Hesse / Brian MacDonald

These spots were part of a campaign targeted at Investment Advisors, who control the vast majority of retail investment assets. The strategy was to challenge common industry practices and encourage thoughtful advisors to better serve the interests of their clients. This campaign helped iShares achieve phenomenal growth and won 2 silver Cassies for financial products and business-to-business success.
A.D.: Clive Matthews
C.D.: David Rosenberg
I was parachuted in last minute to creative direct this campaign for Minute Maid's sponsorship of the Winter Games. The client was not happy with the work that had been previously presented. So with a looming deadline, I met with him and helped set the team on a new course. We ended up shooting these two spots, one of which was a finalist at Cannes.

more print
A selection of other print work. Lots of different clients and art directors over the years.
A collection of other commercials done over the years.
Very occasionally, I get to act, usually as someone in a white lab coat. Some might call it typecasting. I call it a lot of fun and great learning. This was a global commercial for Chupa Chups from BBH Singapore.

Overwatch's Halloween-themed seasonal event launched yesterday, and along with some spooky-scary skins, Blizzard gave us something else: Ana's "grandma candy" emote and some solid trolling potential.
But despite its quaint and adorable origins, Ana's new candy emote has taken on a new form. How could it not—emotes are nothing if not creative ways to gloat. And what's ruder than throwing sweets at people?
Ana's sleep dart lays enemies flat for five seconds, just enough time for Ana to emote over their limp corpse. Hilariously, players have been tossing Ana's Halloween candy on enemies' sleeping bodies.
A+ trolling. More of this, please!

This is a follow up on electronic security and privacy in divorce. Today, I follow up on electronic security and privacy issues that are simple to address. Whether your concern is a hacker or a prying former spouse, these steps should help protect your privacy.
First, enable two step verification. Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other electronic programs allow you to create a two step verification before an unknown device can log into an account. Do this. It will automatically send a text or email if your account is accessed. Here is the link for two step verification for Gmail. and Facebook.
Second, enable security codes on your devices. This prevents someone from accessing your iPad while you are showering or putting the children to sleep. Keep this code private. On Apple computers, create a separate login for children to use.
Third, log out of all your accounts. Secondly, go to your private communication accounts and make sure to log out of any existing devices. Here is the link for Facebook and Gmail.
Fourth, clear out History and Cookies. If you have not been served with an electronic preservation letter from opposing counsel, clear the history and cookies on any device in your household and office. This should wipe out any passwords that have been entered previous. Here is a link with instructions.
Fifth, change passwords frequently. The best thing you can do is frequently change passwords. Take a sentence and turn it into a password. For more ideas, check out this article here.
Last, but not least, change notifications on your phone. Go into settings and remove any bubble message or notification that shows the contents of a text or an email. For more information, click here.

Watch the inaugural cohort talk about their residency experiences.
The benefits of completing a residency are numerous.
The N.P. residency program is designed to support newly graduated nurse practitioners as they transition into their first year as a provider. The program fosters building clinical decision-making skills, practice management, team-based care, teaching skills and clinical leadership in a mentored environment. Evidence shows that formal postgraduate transition programs result in greater retention rates and improved provider competency. Residency experiences are equivalent to 2-3 years of work experience in assisting new graduates in developing critical thinking skills in areas of leadership, patient outcomes and their professional roles as N.P.s.
The accreditation process is underway.
The program currently seeks its initial accreditation review now that the first cohort completed the program in July.
The N.P. residency is connected to the UC Davis Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing.
The residency program is administered by faculty and staff within the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. N.P. residents are not students, rather they are independent, licensed providers functioning as part of the health care team with advanced training created and coordinated by the school of nursing. Residents are engaged full time during the residency experience and typically scheduled for 40-hour work weeks.
Clinical locations and relocating need careful consideration.
Our primary care clinical sites are throughout Northern California, the Central Valley and across the UC Davis Health campus. Sites are in rural and urban settings. Once residents are accepted into the program, they may request location preferences. Although we consider applicants' preferences, final location assignments are made based on best-fit parameters. Residents are expected to live in the general area of the clinic where they are assigned. Relocation expenses are not paid by the program.
All 12 months of the residency must be completed.
The N.P. residency program certifies residents' completion of the program once they complete all program requirements, including the 12-month duration of the program.
Applicants who completed N.P. programs prior to April 3 are not eligible.
Applicants must complete their FNP or AGNP program between April 3, 2021, and June 15, 2022, to be eligible for the program.
International students are eligible to apply.
International students with permanent residency in the U.S. (green card holders) are eligible to apply. Applicants must have a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited university in the U.S.
Preference is not given to California residents.
No preference is given to California residents; however, applicants must obtain an unrestricted California Board of Registered Nursing R.N .and Nurse Practitioner certificate prior to starting the program. Without a California BRN license, applicants will not be able to practice in the state of California.
N.P. applicants with M.S.N., D.N.P. and Ph.D. degrees are eligible.
Applicants with advanced practice nursing graduate degrees (M.S.N., D.N.P., and Ph.D.) are eligible to apply. Applicants with family or adult gerontology nurse practitioner postgraduate certificates are eligible to apply. All applicants must have completed or expect to complete their FNP or AGNP programs or postgraduate certificates between April 3, 2021, and June 15, 2022.
Prior N.P. experience is not required.
Prior N.P. experience is not required nor does it preclude an applicant for consideration. Work experience of all types, including prior nursing experience, is among the many factors considered in the application review process.

For many years, our Student Council (STUCO) has been the influential voice of our students. In fact, the Strake Jesuit community would not be the same without it. It is composed of students elected from each class and now even from each house. Student Council members represent the larger student body's interests in cooperation with the administration. In addition, they coordinate the logistics and setup of many important events throughout the year. The club offers a great experience for students who want to impact the school (and improve their resumé). I interviewed Ms. Batchelor, who has been the moderator of STUCO for the past two years.
When was STUCO first created?
Student Council has been an active club at Strake Jesuit for many years. I'm unsure of the exact year it was created, but I know that Student Council certainly preceded me. I have been the moderator for two years.
How does STUCO play a larger role in our school and impact student life?
Student Council provides unique leadership opportunities for students who are interested in getting involved. Students are able to plan events, brainstorm ideas, and discuss possible changes to our campus. Most students don't realize this, but Student Council meetings are open to all students. Anyone at Strake Jesuit is welcome to attend. Also, if students have ideas or concerns, that are suitable for Student Council to address, please see Student Council representatives. We want your voices to be heard!
Student Council plans and executes events like pep-rallies, prom, homecoming, food trucks, field day, and elections. Hopefully, these events enhance student life at Strake Jesuit through fun and meaningful experiences. The Student Council invests a great deal of effort behind the scenes to ensure that events run smoothly and that the student body's interests are represented well.
What are some of the most important changes STUCO has made in the past few years?
This last year, we rewrote the bylaws for Student Council to reflect our house system. This has a few advantages, especially from a programming standpoint. Student Council members are now able to meet by grade level or by house. By changing the bylaws to reflect the house system, we now have 12 representatives from each grade: three from each house. There is more room for getting involved in Student Council than there once was.
What are some things STUCO is working on right now?
Student Council is working on events for the spring semester like prom, pep rallies, field day, and possibly a talent show! We are excited about carrying on traditions like Field Day, and introducing some new activities as well.
What are your hopes for where STUCO will be in the future and the things they will have done?
I hope that Student Council will continue to be an energized group of students who are passionate about student life here at Strake Jesuit. Eventually, I hope we are able to give students even more ownership and that the entire club is completely student-led and student-focused.
STUCO is a highly proactive club within the community, without which many school-run activities could not happen. As a result, it requires full involvement from its members, who must regularly make room for this commitment. Along with its demands and responsibilities, STUCO definitely presents its fair share of benefits as well. It offers numerous opportunities for its members to develop leadership assets they can apply in life beyond their high school careers. The most devoted STUCO members tend to display a general competence and organization in many aspects of their lives. Overall, STUCO is one of Strake Jesuit's greatest achievements, as far as the impressive things it can do with just a handful of its students.


USAction is a tax-exempt social welfare organization based in Washington, D.C. It operates as an umbrella group for 22 state community organizing affiliates, and is dedicated to achieving more left-of-center social and economic policy. USAction employs a model of connecting national labor and left-of-center interests with state and local activists. USAction had associations with numerous labor unions, including the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the Communication Workers of America (CWA), and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). USAction used online and on-the-ground activism to organize protests, increase voter turnout, and advance issues-based campaigns. It provides funding, training, and leadership development for state affiliate members to "take action" on a range of topics, including jobs, health care, and elections.
The group merged into People's Action in 2016 alongside Community Organizations in Action, National People's Action Campaign, and Campaign for America's Future.
USAction was formed in 1999, but its origins date back to a liberal activist network active in the 1980s and 1990s called Citizen Action. USAction's structure of federated state groups aligned under a national entity is modeled after Citizen Action. Some of USAction's state affiliates still use their original Citizen Action names, such as Citizen Action of Wisconsin, Michigan Citizen Action, and Citizen Action/Illinois.
Heather Booth was the founding president of Citizen Action and co-founded USAction. Booth has also served as a training director for the Democratic National Committee, and as a consultant for a variety of left-wing social and political groups, including MoveOn.org and the UnidosUS (formerly the National Council of La Raza). In 2009, Booth directed a campaign to pass President Obama's first budget. Booth sat on USAction's board of directors and functioned as the organization's development chairperson.
USAction's executive director, Fred Azcarate, is a career labor activist who previously worked for the AFL-CIO. Azcarate also served as the director for Jobs with Justice, a national coalition of labor and community activist groups advocating for union membership and higher wages. Azcarate asserts that labor unions can no longer afford to fight political battles without the help of progressive social groups due to historically low private-sector union membership.
In 2007, USAction helped create a coalition of labor unions, community organizing groups, and think tanks to advance a health care advocacy campaign known as Health Care for America Now, which prepared the way for the passage of Obamacare. In 2008, USAction launched its "Bringing Change to America" campaign that involved organizing voters for 22 House races, 2 Senate races, and one governor's race, coinciding with the election of President Barack Obama.
In 2009, USAction was part of the Common Purpose Project, a coalition of progressive groups that had regular meetings with top White House officials. USAction also launched an effort to oust "Blue Dog" Democrats, a caucus of more centrist Democrats, from the Democratic Party.
USAction has participated in the SEIU's "Fight for $15" minimum wage and unionization campaign aimed at food-service workers. Since the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Citizens United decision, USAction called for boycotts, social media harassment, stockholder lawsuits, and workers' pension fund divestments to intimidate corporations from making significant political donations. USAction also co-sponsored a left-wing "populism platform" based on the policies supported by left-wing U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) ahead of the 2016 Presidential election.
Internal Revenue Service records show USAction's revenues increased dramatically in presidential election years. The most recent publicly available records indicate $2.14 million in revenue in 2012, and $6 million in revenue for 2008, of which USAction spent all but $308,000. In 2014, USAction reported $873,816 in revenue.

Observer > 2012 > January > Love According to Harry Harlow
Love According to Harry Harlow
Deborah Blum
Digging into the history of psychological science, the Observer has retrieved classic interviews with prominent psychological scientists for an ongoing series Psychology (Yesterday and) Today. Each interview is introduced by a contemporary psychological scientist, and the full text of the interview is available on the Observer website. We invite you to reflect on the words of these legendary scientists, and decide whether their voices still resonate with the science of today.
I first read Carol Tavris's remarkable interview with Harry Harlow (www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/harlow) while he was a guest — figuratively, of course — in my home. I was, at the time, deep into researching a book I was writing about Harlow (published in 2002 as Love at Goon Park). And I was at that stage of a biographical project where the subject lives with you, haunting your life like a stubborn and difficult ghost.
So I didn't merely read the interview. I was a sponge soaking it up. I couldn't put it down, and I put it down only to read it again. What I felt with each reading was the pure, sharp shock of recognition. I'm a longtime journalist and science writer, so I've learned how hard it is to bring a subject to life on the page. But Harry Frederick Harlow, one of the most influential and most controversial psychologists of the 20th century, lives and breathes in this 1973 interview, sparking with insight and intelligence, mocking, provoking, and spitting in the winds of political correctness.
Born in 1905 in Iowa, and educated at Stanford University, Harlow became famous during his time at the University of Wisconsin. He moved there in 1930 and created a primate research program — one of the first in the country — in an unwanted building with the help of scavenged supplies and student labor. He created a new theory of primate intelligence there, championing the idea that monkeys were complex thinkers and were capable of learning from experience. And he'd gone directly from that theory to challenging a powerful behaviorist argument that love and affection were not worthy of psychological study. In typical Harlow fashion, he flung down the gauntlet in a 1959 speech, which was given when he became president of the American Psychological Association. Titled "The Nature of Love," the talk accused his profession of abandoning understanding of the most fundamental emotions to poets and songwriters.
It was, also, an accusation backed by years of meticulous research. Using cloth and wire surrogate mothers, and working with baby monkeys, Harlow had painstakingly demonstrated both the importance of touch and the fundamental intensity of a bond between mother and child. That work helped affect a sea of change in the way psychologists viewed the critical nature of relationships. Harlow continued to delve into the subject, eventually moving from nurturing aspects to destructive ones. In his later work — most done in the decade before Tavris conducted her interview — he'd looked at the influence of abusive mothers, then neglectful ones, and moved from there to the even darker question of complete social isolation. These studies in psychological destruction gradually darkened his reputation as well. He became a poster child for the emerging animal-rights movement. And his mother-focused child-rearing research attracted the ire of the women's rights movement.
Tavris's interview occurred during this later period of his career — he retired from Wisconsin in 1974 — and she began by acknowledging the tensions and seeking his response to that. And it was quite a response. Consider this exchange, in which she brings up a feminist complaint that his work feeds into the notion that women are born to be caregivers and nurturers.
Tavris: But your own research shows that there may be nothing instinctive about the so-called maternal instinct; your female isolates were lousy mothers. They had to learn to want infants and care for them.
Harlow: I'll take you apart. Look, we don't deny that apes and monkeys learn. They are bright, and they learn continuously. As soon as a situation changes, or a new ability matures, learning is overlaid on innate qualities,
and it becomes difficult to tell them apart. But the innate components are there. God created two species, one named man and the other named woman. I can even tell you the difference between them. Man is the only animal capable of speaking and woman is the only animal incapable of not speaking.
Tavris: Women's liberation will get you for that one.
But what makes the interview so good is that Tavris herself stays so cool. Sure, she baits him a little here, but she never loses track of the real point: a wide-ranging and thoughtful discussion of his personal story, of his work with primates and its meaning in terms of understanding animals and ourselves. The conversation moves deftly, easily, from Harlow at his confrontational worst to his thoughtful best. As it concludes, the rational, ultimately decent man standing behind the work said: In the first place I have an enormous regard for common sense. Any time we discover some great thing and it contradicts common sense, we better go back to the laboratory and check it.
After reading the interview, I talked to Tavris as part of my own research. I wondered what she had thought about the discussion. She very kindly responded: "Sometimes Harlow was a blatantly appalling sexist, yet it was hard to know how much of it was designed to rile people up and how much was what he really thought. There was an unexpected sweetness to him that made his obnoxious remarks seem oddly artificial at the time. And she forwarded a copy of a letter he'd sent her following the Psychology Today publication.
He wrote: Let me congratulate you on the splendid job you did on the interview. I'm not sure whether you were interviewing me or I was interviewing you. If I had known as much about recent developments in primate research as you do, I would have been able to respond to your questions in a more intelligent manner. I am convinced that you could raise the IQ of a vegetable — human, or otherwise.
I was grinning when I read it. The tone was classic Harlow. And Tavris's editor wrote her a memo after seeing the letter, which I treasure to this day: It said "Total surrender. But not the letter of a small man."

I am a great admirer of Harry Harlow and his work. I consider him one of the best strategic thinkers in the history of Psychology. By that I mean someone who did not simply focus on doing research on some little known aspect of a minor problem in Psychology but thought ahead to what the implications of a given study were for Psychology just over the horizon. Case in point — his early work on learning to learn which morphed into his work on the surrogate mother problem which, in turn, lead to his work on "correcting the human condition." I was a follower of his early learning to learn work and I attempted to answer his question of whether learning as an abstract phenomonon occurred in sub-primates. I examined the development of learning set in sub-primates and disproved his notion that it did not occur in at least one species of sub-primates was wrong. The results were reported in my Master's Thesis "The Formation of Learning Set in the Raccoon" West Virginia University, 1955. I sent a copy of my write-up to Harlow and received a very nice letter in response asking me (or maybe jerking my chain a bit)if I intended to become the next Harry Harlow. Knowing that no one could ever replace THE Harry Harlow I changed my focus and went on to later become a pioneer researcher in the realm of human factors in computer systems. While computers have been characterized as lightening fast, myopic, nit-picking bastards … they were still a lot easier to work with than an irate raccoon!

This brought back wonderful memories of when I was a T.A. for Harlow at the Univ of Wisconsin in the early 60s. I still remember coming into lecture a little late only to see my last name in bold letters on the blackboard in front of 300+ students. He was making a point about learning. He remembered the name of one of his T.A.s (me) by rearranging the letters to The Men "which was all women thought about". I waited for the next shoe to drop. The other memory was the annnual Christmas party for the Primate Lab where Harlow sat in the front row and students did a caricature of him. One element was that he remembered only one student's name and he called everyone by that name; the other was that he dressed in a wrinkled lab coat and was more than once mistaken for a janitor.

For reasons best left to psychologists to try and fathom, the Harlow myth has remarkable resiliency.
Blum writes that Harlow's 1959 speech was "an accusation backed by years of meticulous research. Using cloth and wire surrogate mothers, and working with baby monkeys, Harlow had painstakingly demonstrated both the importance of touch and the fundamental intensity of a bond between mother and child. That work helped affect a sea of change in the way psychologists viewed the critical nature of relationships."
But by 1959, John Bowlby's landmark WHO report: Maternal Care and Mental Health had been reprinted many times. In 1962, the World Health Organization published Deprivation of Maternal Care. A Reassessment of its Effects. Public Health Papers No. 14, and reported that:
"Bowlby's monograph Maternal Care and Mental Health was published by the World Health Organization in 1951, and was at once acclaimed as an unequalled contribution to its subject. Its success is shown by the frequency with which it has been printed and the many languages into which it has been translated.
The conclusion Bowlby reaches in his monograph is that prolonged deprivation of the young child of maternal care may have grave and far-reaching effects on his character and so on the whole of his life"
Moreover, in 1946 pediatrician Benjamin Spock published The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care which became an instant best seller and is widely acknowledged to be the most influential source on child care ever written. Encarta notes that it "sharply redefined the course of child care during the baby boom after World War II." Not Harlow, Spock.
Moreover, even Harlow's students acknowledge the less than pioneering aspect of his work. Stephen Suomi has said that: "[I]f one goes back to the very first published studies carried out in Harlow's lab, in the Introduction and in the Discussion sections of those papers there is nothing but Bowlby. These monkey studies were modeled exactly on Bowlby's published accounts of the effects of maternal separation on children, including the use of exactly the same terms—"protest," "despair," and "detachment,"—that Bowlby had employed in describing the reactions of children following separation from and reunion with their mothers…."
For reasons that remain unclear, a handful of writers are wont to hold Harlow's work up as the catalyst for the change in child care that took hold after WWII in the U.S. But doing so ignores the massive popular appeal and success of Spock's work and the professional success and major institutional impact of Bowlby's monograph, to say nothing of the results of Robertson's controversial film published in 1952, "A Two Year-Old Goes to the Hospital."
Myths die hard.

Philippe Kieffer, né le  à Port-au-Prince (Haïti) et mort le  à Cormeilles-en-Parisis, est un officier de marine français nommé Compagnon de la Libération. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il crée et commande le  bataillon de fusiliers marins commandos, dont ses membres, connus a posteriori sous le nom de Commandos Kieffer, ont combattu lors du débarquement de Normandie.

Biographie

Avant-guerre
Marie-Joseph-Charles-Philippe Kieffer naît en Haïti d'une famille catholique d'origine alsacienne. Son père avait fui l'annexion et s'était installé en Haïti où il avait épousé une Anglaise. Le couple aura quatre enfants, dont Philippe, né le .

Philippe Kieffer passe ensuite ses années de lycée à Jersey. Il poursuit ses études aux États-Unis et est diplômé d'une haute école de commerce à Chicago.

Il devient directeur de banque, d'abord en Haïti où il se marie et où naissent ses deux premiers enfants. Il y est codirecteur de la Banque nationale de la République d'Haïti ainsi que secrétaire de la chambre de communication.

La Seconde Guerre mondiale
Il revient en France en  pour y rejoindre sa famille. Malgré son âge (40 ans), il se présente comme volontaire. D'abord sous-lieutenant, interprète militaire dans l'armée de terre, il entre dans la Marine le  comme quartier-maître secrétaire auprès de l'amiral Nord.

Après la défaite de la France, l'enseigne de vaisseau Kieffer répond à l'appel du général de Gaulle en partant pour le Royaume-Uni dès le . Il s'engage dans les Forces navales françaises libres le jour de leur création, le  comme « officier de réserve interprète et du chiffre (ORIC) ».

Impressionné par les méthodes des commandos britanniques, il constitue en 1942 la « Troop 1 » des Commandos français avec une vingtaine de volontaires, dans les environs de Portsmouth. En 1943, le  Bataillon ( B.F.M.C) est fort de Trois Troops la , la  du capitaine Trepel — qui disparaît au cours d'un raid nocturne — et la Troop d'Appui (K-Guns).

C'est au redoutable centre d'entraînement commando d'Achnacarry, en Écosse, que ces hommes sont formés et reçoivent le fameux béret vert. En mai 1944, quelques semaines avant le Débarquement, ils reçoivent leur propre insigne : écu de bronze chargé du brick de l'aventure et barré du poignard des commandos avec dans le coin senestre la croix de Lorraine et souligné d'une banderole portant l'inscription «  Bllon (bataillon) F.M.Commando ». Ils le porteront sur le béret vert « à l'anglaise » c'est-à-dire sur le bord gauche relevé. Le dessin est dû à l'un d'entre eux, le caporal Maurice Chauvet. Appréciant à leur juste valeur les qualités des Français, les Britanniques incorporent le bataillon au sein du Commando  de la Brigade des Forces spéciales. Il aura l'honneur suprême de débarquer le premier en France au Jour J.

1944
Promu lieutenant de vaisseau, puis capitaine de corvette à la veille du Jour J, Kieffer débarque le 6 juin en Normandie à la tête de ses hommes du  de fusiliers marins commandos fort de deux Troops de combat et d'une 1/2 Troop d'appui (K-Guns), en tout . Ils débarquent sur la plage Sword à Colleville-Montgomery, malgré des pertes significatives — en tout pour le  : deux officiers et huit hommes tués plus des blessés —, ils s'emparent d'une pièce de  encuvée qui avait mis à mal la péniche LCI 523 ( Troop), puis de l'ex-casino de Riva-Bella avant de s'enfoncer dans les terres par Colleville et Saint-Aubin-d'Arquenay pour faire jonction à Pegasus Bridge (Bénouville) avec les Airborne britanniques de la  DAP. Ils y arrivent vers . Kieffer sera blessé deux fois ce jour-là. Au soir du 6 juin, le  B.F.M.C. aura perdu presque 25 % de ses effectifs. Il occupe alors les lisières du Plain vers .

Au cours de la dure campagne de Normandie, les commandos restent en première ligne (secteur Le Plain - Amfreville) et combattent jusqu'au , puis le bataillon est recomplété en Grande-Bretagne pour de futures missions. En novembre 1944, le  BFMC est débarqué sur l'île de Walcheren en Hollande et s'empare en combattant de Flessingue, dans le cadre d'une opération combinée alliée avec les commandos britanniques dans le but de dégager les accès du port d'Anvers.

Après la guerre

La guerre finie, Philippe Kieffer quitte l'armée avec le grade de capitaine de corvette et est élu conseiller général d'Isigny-sur-Mer (Calvados) en . Il en démissionne le  après son échec aux élections législatives. Il est également conseiller municipal de Grandcamp-les-Bains (Calvados)  où il possède une résidence, non loin des lieux du débarquement.

Membre de l'Assemblée consultative en 1945, il quitte la politique à la suite de son échec aux législatives de .

Revenu à la vie civile, il part pour l'Allemagne en tant que représentant de l'Agence interalliée des réparations.

En 1950, il s'installe avec sa famille à Cormeilles-en-Parisis (actuel Val-d'Oise) et entre au service de l'OTAN.

En 1954, il est promu capitaine de frégate de réserve.

En 1962, il est conseiller sur le film Le Jour le plus long. Atteint d'hémiplégie, il meurt cette même année dans sa maison de Cormeilles-en-Parisis et est inhumé à Grandcamp-les-Bains.

Son livre de souvenirs, Béret vert, paru en 1948, est un classique du genre.

À l'occasion des 75 ans du débarquement de Normandie et des 120 ans de la naissance de Philippe Kieffer, une association a été créée à Cormeilles-en-Parisis, ville où est décédé le Commandant Kieffer, elle a pour nom: Association Commandant Kieffer. Son but est de faire perdurer la mémoire de Philippe Kieffer.

Le 8 mai 2021, une allée Commandant Philippe Kieffer est inaugurée à Bohars (Bretagne) en présence de sa fille.

Commandos Kieffer

Le commando Kieffer était composé de fusiliers marins qui s'étaient, pour la plupart, engagés dans les Forces navales françaises libres — aux côtés des bérets verts britanniques — alors qu'ils se trouvaient au Royaume-Uni. Certains rejoignirent les FNFL après l'évacuation de Dunkerque, d'autres s'évadèrent de France occupée ; enfin, un groupe arriva d'Afrique. Quarante pour cent des fusiliers marins de ce commando étaient bretons. Ils durent subir le dur entrainement et la sélection impitoyable au centre commando d'Achnacarry, en Écosse, où ils gagnaient le droit au port du béret vert mythique. Quinze Français de la , sous les ordres de l'officier des équipages Francis Vourch, avaient participé au raid sur Dieppe aux côtés des commandos britanniques et canadiens « Opération Jubilé ».

Aujourd'hui, deux des sept commandos marine français portent le nom d'un officier du  B.F.M.C mort au combat :
 Commando Hubert (nageurs de combat du COS)
 Commando Trépel
Un septième commando a été créé à l'été 2008 sous le nom de Commando Kieffer.
Les commandos marine français ont conservé le béret vert britannique. Ils arborent sur l'épaule gauche les fourragères gagnées au cours de nombreuses actions d'éclat.

Seroprevalencia de toxoplasma gondii en alpacas de comunidades de la provincia De Canchis, Cusco
R. Julia Ram�rez, V. Amanda Ch�vez, Eva Consuelo Casas Astos, A. Ra�l Rosadio, P. N�stor Falc�n
The objective of the present study was to determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in alpacas of communities from the districts of Marangan�, Pitumarca, Checacupe and San Pablo, located in the province of Canchis, department of Cusco. A total of 272 blood samples were collected in March 2003, for the detection of antibodies against T. gondii by the indirect immunofluorescence test (IFAT). The resulting seroprevalence was 35.7 � 5.7%, without significant differences due to district, sex, and breed; however, there was a significant association between age and IFAT value. The results of the present study agreed with other studies conducted in South American camelids in different localities in the south of Peru.
