Connect the FTP client to your web server.
Locate the file you want to edit.
Open the file by using the internal FTP editor.
Right-click the file with your mouse and choose View/Edit. FileZilla, like most FTP clients, uses a program (such as Notepad for a PC or TextMate for Mac) designated for text editing that already exists on your computer. In some rare cases, your FTP client software may have its own internal text editor.
Click the Save icon or choose File→Save.
Upload the file to your web server.
After you save the file, FileZilla alerts you that the file has changed and asks whether you want to upload the file to the server. Click the Yes button; the newly edited file replaces the old one.
That's all there is to it. Use the FTP edit feature to edit, save, and upload files as you need to.
When you edit files by using the FTP edit feature, you're editing files in a "live" environment, meaning that when you save the changes and upload the file, the changes take effect immediately and affect your live website.
For this reason, download a copy of the original file to your local computer before making changes. That way, if you happen to make a typo on the saved file and your website goes haywire, you have a copy of the original to upload to restore it to its original state.


The criminal investigations division is comprised of four detectives who investigate major felonies, misdemeanors and vice/narcotic crimes. The unit is also in charge of intelligence gathering, including homeland security and crime trends in the area.
The unit utilizes a variety of investigative methods, as well as using a variety of computer networks to obtain information.
The undercover component utilizes state of the art equipment and surveillance techniques, as well as typical undercover work. Often, the unit joins with surrounding law enforcement agencies on investigations.
If you have been a victim of a crime, your first encounter with the Tavares Police Department would have been with a uniformed officer, who would then turn the report over to Criminal Investigations. Once the case has been assigned to a detective he/she will contact the victim to investigate further. Detectives are able to devote more time to investigating a case than a uniform officer can.
The special investigations unit is responsible for all narcotic investigations, undercover operations, surveillance as well as other vice crimes.
The unit is comprised of officers not only from TPD, but in partnership with surrounding law enforcement agencies. This allows the unit to tackle the problems of drugs from a larger perspective, making enforcement more effective.

Max slams 'disgraceful' £6.8m Tory cuts to Cheltenham schools
Lib Dem candidate for Cheltenham Max Wilkinson says it is 'disgraceful' that Cheltenham's schools have suffered a £6.8million government funding cut.
Liberal Democrat analysis has found all but one of the constituency's 30 schools are worse off since 2015 – despite Tory MP Alex Chalk's claims that the National Funding Formula improved the finances of local schools.
Mr Chalk was praised by the Education Secretary for his work on schools funding reforms in 2017.
But Lib Dem analysis of data obtained by the School Cuts campaign has found that 29 of Cheltenham's 30 schools have lost a total of £6,810,448 in funding between 2015 and 2019.
Responding to the School Cuts report, Max said: "These figures show that since 2015 the Conservative government has overseen a disgraceful cut in funding for Cheltenham schools.
"I speak to parents and teachers frequently and the message that comes back is very clear – they are concerned and angry about schools cuts.
"If schools don't have the money to pay for teachers and vital resources like books and stationary, our children miss out on the education they deserve.
"The Conservatives are misleading people about the state of our schools and have claimed they are solving problems, when in reality things are getting worse and worse because of this government. The Liberal Democrats demand better.
"We'd reverse the damaging Conservative cuts to schools and put in place policies that give more powers to teachers and parents."
In 2017, Justine Greening, then Education Secretary, paid tribute to Mr Chalk during a debate in Parliament as she announced "historic" reforms to education funding.
Announcing a new funding formula for schools, she said: "I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to him [Alex Chalk] for all he has done in his local community and, of course, with the f40 group to help to improve the formula and to make sure that what was, as he says, an incredibly complex piece of work ended up in the right place.
"We have today a strong national funding formula that can work for some very different schools and communities throughout the country, and I am proud that we are finally able to launch it."
Mr Chalk was singled out for comment due to his work with the f40 education fair funding group, representing the 40 worst-funded local education authorities in England, which campaigned for a new national funding formula for schools.
Analysis by the School Cuts campaign shows that claims by the Conservative government about funding increases discounted several key factors.
After the introduction of the new funding formula, Mr Chalk became Parliamentary Private Secretary to Ms Greening in the Department for Education in 2018.
The f40 group has since raised "fundamental concerns" with the new formula, arguing "the government has replaced one unfair system with another".

Installing the game from scratch.
Chanel Ferguson
Final Fantasy XIV Guides

Installing Final Fantasy XIV is quick and easy, thanks to a streamlined setup process. Whether you're on PC, Mac, or PlayStation, we'll show you how to install Final Fantasy XIV to your system. After installation, you're free to log in, create your character, and jump into the vast world of Eorzea.
Windows PC or Mac OS
For PC and Mac players, the installation process is the same. After purchasing the game, run the installer from your download. Follow the instructions on-screen. Then the game will prompt you to create a Square Enix account, which you'll use whenever logging into Final Fantasy XIV.
You'll also want to keep track of your registration code. This is a 20-digit alphanumeric code that comes with your purchased game. For physical versions, you'll find this code in the game package. For digital versions, the registration code will be emailed to you.
After registering or logging into your Square Enix account, and entering your registration code when prompted, you'll wrap up the installation process. You should now have an icon on your desktop for the Final Fantasy XIV launcher.
For PlayStation users, the installation process is very similar. When purchasing the physical version, you will receive a 12-digit alphanumeric promotional code. You'll find this code printed in the game manual inside the product box. Head to the PlayStation Store and enter this code in the Redeem Codes section.

Then place your disc into the system, and Final Fantasy XIV will download and install automatically. The process is virtually the same for digital versions. Your PlayStation system will take care of the process for you. Proceed to register your Square Enix account exactly as detailed above for Windows and Mac players.
When you first log into Final Fantasy XIV, you'll need to link your PlayStation Network and Square Enix accounts together. You can't reverse this process, so make sure you're logged into your preferred PSN account. After linking your accounts, you're ready to go. You'll see the official game launcher each time you start up Final Fantasy XIV.
About one-time passwords
One-time passwords greatly increase the security on your account. These are generated from physical keyrings, or software tokens. You generate these passwords when logging in, and they are only available for this short period of time. After logging in, the one-time password is no longer valid. The process is similar to two-step verification on other platforms.
While optional, we recommend checking out one-time passwords for your account. They can help a lot, keeping your account from getting compromised in the worst-case scenario.

Q: How can I create a package of a PyQt/PySide application which can be expected to run in "reasonable" environments? By "reasonable" environment I mean that it should not require the user to manually install any dependencies of the application, but a working Python installation can be required. Additionally I would like the application to work on Windows, OSX, and popular Linux distributions. If I can package a Python interpreter as well, that's better. Size is not really a concern. A good example of what I want to accomplish is the SublimeText editor.
Is there an established way of doing this?

A: Yes, python comes with setup utilities, and there are packages which will put your complete application in a platform specific binary(exe on windows, .app on osx).
Some of the packages I would recommend looking at would be:
cx_freeze
py2app
py2exe

Madhura Balasubramaniam reviews Tsering Wangyal's 'Another Place'
Date: March 20, 2021Author: Tibetscapes 0 Comments
Madhura Balasubramaniam
Book: Another Place by Tsering Wangyal
Another Place, a novel authored by late Tsering Wangyal, the former editor of Tibetan Review was his first venture into fiction and was published posthumously in 2020 by BlackNeck Books. Tsering Wangyal, also known as Editor la, was the editor of Tibetan Review for 20 years and as Jamyang Norbu writes in his introduction to the novel, was known for his sharp editorials, his journalistic skills and integrity.
Another Place revolves around Ngawang Tsultrim, better known as Frank Lee, and his missing laptop. On a parallel track, the novel introduces us to the Jhangsur, the former Governor of Phari and his daughter Pema Choezom. Even as the plot revolves around Frank Lee's attempts to retrieve his laptop, Tsering Wangyal intertwines these multiple narratives, making for an immersive read.
This novel has a unique place within the literature produced by Tibetans in exile in English. While novels like Jamyang Norbu's The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes and T N Khortsa's The Tibetan Suitcase experiment with form, it is the content of Another Place that sets it apart. Wangyal's experiences of working in the Tibetan government in exile and as the editor of Tibetan Review inform the novel's narrative as it straddles fiction and political commentary. In contrast to novels and poetry that discuss in detail the multifaceted impact of Chinese oppression and occupation on Tibet and Tibetans in exile, Wangyal foregrounds the intricacies of the exile experience specifically immigration, exile politics and bureaucracy and the materialities of place in exile.
Identity and Immigration
A large part of the plot discusses the last few months of Frank Lee's stay in India before he makes a permanent move to the United States. While the Tibetan Suitcase primarily explores nostalgia, anxieties and challenges of navigating one's identity after immigrating to the West and Tsering Wangmo Dhompa's A Home in Tibet presents the affective complexities of homecoming, Another Place highlights the multiple entanglements of aspirations that underlie the decision to immigrate by examining the liminal period of waiting to resettle.
In discussing the concept and distinctive features of diasporas, Robin Cohen (2008: 187) argues that "the possibility of a distinctive creative, enriching life in tolerant host countries" is often an important factor that drives immigration. While the relevance of the conceptual category of diaspora to the Tibetan exile community is hotly debated in academic, political and policy circles (Anand 2003), it is this search for a better, more enriching life that shapes Frank Lee's desire to migrate.
Frank Lee applies to the Fulbright program that gives him a brief reprieve from the daily drudgery of his government job and an opportunity to live his dream of migrating to the US, albeit for a short period of time. Even though he wishes to return to the US, the possibility of a new romantic relationship makes him reconsider his plans. When that peters out, he marries Tenzin Lhakyi which gives him, for the first time, a concrete path to permanently immigrate to the US under the Family Reunification Program. But he asks himself, "Had he won or lost in the deal?" Here, Frank Lee is not a figure representing an enduring yearning to immigrate above all else, but rather one who walks a tenuous tightrope in negotiating his aspirations and his desires.
At his wedding, Frank Lee prohibits his guests from bringing khatas. However, as Frank Lee departs from Dharamshala on a journey that will culminate in the US, Thubten wraps a khata around his neck. Frank Lee momentarily considers removing it when he boards the bus before deciding to let it remain. Through this juxtaposition, Wangyal indicates that immigration is not a linear process and the past and one's roots are not excised from one's identity by the decision to move abroad. Rather, they remain, much like the khata around Frank Lee's neck, not as a restraint, but as a source of comfort.
Exile Politics and Bureaucracy
Through the course of the novel, Wangyal enlivens the Tibetan administrative setup and spaces of political activism by paying attention to the multiple people who populate it. He focuses on the inner worlds of his characters – their professional goals, political ambitions and aspirations, their interpersonal relationships and how they locate themselves as agents in the context of the Tibetan struggle.
Frank Lee finds himself stifled in the exile bureaucracy and counts down the days till he can leave. In one instance, through a detailed description of an uncomfortable staff meeting, Wangyal not only points to the deeply entrenched hierarchies of the exile bureaucracy, but also the men and women who hold it up.
Academic scholarship on the Tibetan exile bureaucracy has often focused on its structures and the performances through which it strengthens its legitimacy and garners international support for the Tibetan struggle. As an outcome, this scholarship tends to, sometimes inadvertently, attribute an unchanging coherence to the administration. The novel, however, breaks free of the overwrought unitary construction of the exile bureaucracy that academic writing conjures. In doing so, the novel provides new ways for researchers to think about the exile bureaucracy, by shifting the focus away from the formal and the institutional to the material, personal and affective domains of bureaucracies.
The novel also captures a spectrum of engagement with exile politics. Frank Lee remains steadfastly disinterested and consciously refuses to be drawn into discussions on politics, often to the exasperation of his companions. During an attempt to locate and retrieve the laptop, Frank Lee, in a lapse during heightened tension, shares his nuanced and well-considered perspective on the future of Sino-Tibetan relations before quickly returning to his comfort zone. In contrast, Thubten Chhodak, the proprietor of the One More Chance Restaurant, participates enthusiastically in political meetings, is a member of number of exile organizations and is nominated by Chushi Gangdruk as one of its candidates for the parliamentary elections. Wangyal states that while Thubten liked to think that he was politically conscious, his enthusiasm was driven by his desire to "become a national personality in the local exile community". In a similar vein, the Jhangsur, bitter at being excluded from the circle of influential decision makers in Gangkyi, takes to publishing scathing censures of the Kashag's decisions and is vocally critical of the shortcomings of the exile democratization process. These detailed characterisations present exile politics with nuance and remind the reader to be attentive to its complexities.
Places of exile/Exile-as-place
The novel's biggest strength lies in Wangyal's ability to bring alive the different places that his characters encounter. Be it Phari or Gangkyi or the bar in Hotel Tibet or even the crowded smoke-filled room in the One More Chance restaurant where weekly games of paglug are hosted, Wangyal recreates each place through detailed accounts, almost like ethnographic thick description. Significantly, his descriptions of McLeodganj and Majnu ka Tilla centre the histories of these settlement spaces. By discussing the building boom in McLeodganj, the rapid construction of Gangkyi to accommodate the growing government in exile and the positive impact of the presence of His Holiness and the Tibetan community on the local Indian economy, Wangyal captures the evolution of McLeodganj and its growth as the exile capital. Similarly, in discussing Majnu ka Tilla, Frank Lee reiterates that it was a camp that had developed on its own and not a settlement. This is an important distinguishing feature of Majnu ka Tilla, one that has shaped and continues to shape the residents' understanding of their position viz a viz the Tibetan rehabilitation framework and their relationship with the land that they live on. In a hilarious retelling, Frank Lee describes how he and his friends would refer to the women in MT who would serve them chang as Impedimenta, Hysteria and Harmonica among other names. Through this tidbit, Wangyal reimagines MT as Armorica that is home to the indomitable Gauls. This representation of the atmosphere of MT in the 1980s/90s has echoes in Thubten Samphel's Falling through the Roof where he describes MT as "a jungle representing the elemental struggle for survival" and in oral history narratives of a number of older residents of MT and other Tibetans who frequented MT in this period.
Through the course of the novel, Wangyal shifts away from presenting exile as an undifferentiated space of rootlessness and alienation, as juxtaposed against the homeland that is suffused with multiple specific forms of belonging. Rather, he constructs exile as an agglomeration of places that have unique histories, and with which people associate different meanings and experience different kinds and extents of belonging. In essence, he presents exile as a set of multiple "another places" where each place is an active site of identity formation and meaning-making.
The careful characterisation, attention to detail and presentation of nuanced political commentary makes Another Place an important read for all those looking to learn more about the everyday histories of exile life.
The author would like to thank Bhuchung D. Sonam for kindly sending her the novel.

7 Ways You Can Help Support Your Favourite Bands & The Music Industry Right Now
2020 has taken its toll on all of us and the music and entertainment industry has really suffered. From tours being cancelled, venues shutting down, redundancies within the industry and now a Brexit deal that means touring across Europe will be more expensive and difficult for bands…it's not looking great is it? So we want you to take a stand with us to help support the industry that's not just a part of our lives, but our way of life. To do this we've compiled a list of all of the ways you can help out bands, artists and those involved in the industry. Some things you may already do, others you can do more of and some you can jump on straight away!
1. Stream and play
You probably do this already, but did you know that every time you stream a song, the band or artist receive a small royalty, plus the more plays they receive the more likely they are to appear on other playlists and gain more fans. Everyone has their favourite streaming sites, but we've listed a few below in order of those that pay artists the most (from top to bottom). Napster, Tidal, Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music.

2. Sign to support
Right now musicians and touring professionals are calling for support for the Seek Europe-wide Visa-free work permit for Touring professionals and Artists. The petition was started as due to some of the new Brexit laws coming into place touring parties may be required to pay for visas per each trip they make (and potentially each country they visit). This could maybe touring a lot more expensive and will smaller bands may struggle to your. You can sign the petition now at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/563294
3. Buy merch
You don't have to just buy CDs and records to help your favourite bands, buying merchandise helps them too, so stock up on those t-shirts, face masks, socks, scarfs, action figures… you name it! Where possible always try to buy direct from the band or artist too!
4. Give them a like
If you're already following your favourite bands and artists on social (if not go follow them now) then you can also help them by liking, commenting on and retweeting the content that they post. By doing this it helps their social content reach even wider audiences and might help them gain new fans or can also join in on the support.

5. Request it
Tweet, text or call your favourite radio stations to request songs from your favourite bands – just make sure the type of music you're requesting to be played is similar to that that the station plays. In particular, look out for specialist shows (e.g. if the station has a weekly rock or alternative show).

6. Buy tickets
OK, so we know tours might not be happening right now, but that doesn't mean gigs aren't being announced, so grab those tickets while you can. In most cases if a show is cancelled due to Coronavirus you'll get a refund and if a show is rescheduled your ticket will remain valid for the new date. (Just make sure to double check all of the T&Cs before you do make a purchase to be sure).
7. #saveourvenues
As well as buying gig tickets, it's really important to support local and independant music venues. Remember that small band you discovered at your local, or that intimate gig your favourite artist played? Without smaller venues there's none of that, so it's time to act now! The #saveourvenues campaign aims to "secure grassroots music venues one by one," with fundraising pages for venues across the UK, as well as the opportunity for bands to work with venues to put on streaming events. Set up by the Music Venue Trust, you can also sign their petition which asks the government to cancel the Festival of Britain 2022, which has £120 million ring fenced to it, and instead use that money to help support grassroots music venues now.
Know another way we can help, or got a fundraiser planned? Let us know! Email [email protected].

Telephone services in India begun in a small scale with the commissioning of a 50-line manual telephone exchange in 1882 in Kolkata. This was less than five years after the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell. India had approx. 82,000 telephone connections at the time of independence (1947) and by 1984 the number of connections had slowly risen to 3.05 million. India's telecom network was notoriously unreliable and only available to a small section of households along with the corporate sector. The telecom sector was a government monopoly until 1994 when liberalisation gradually took place. Cellular service was launched in November 1995 in Kolkata.
The Indian telecom industry has grown rapidly during the last few years but has witnessed a substantial fall in growth more recently. India has the third largest (based on the total number of fixed/mobile subscriber lines) telecom network in the world and the second largest mobile network with 1.18 billion subscribers at the end of Jan 2018.
The mobile subscriber base has decreased in recent months as is the case in the number of landline subscribers. Overall telecom subscriber penetration has increased to 90 % by the beginning of 2018. Major brands sold include Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung, Realme, Vivo, Oppo, Lenovo and Micromax. Around 145 million smartphones were sold in India in 2018 out of an estimated total of 330 m mobile handsets.
Xiaomi and Samsung are among the telecom companies that have set up assembly/manufacturing facilities for the production of mobile phones and other telecom equipment to cater to India's growing telecom market and exports too.
175 m mobile handsets worth around ₹ 900 bn were manufactured (though largely assembled) in India in 2016/17.

Q: Is there any Cross-platform SQL editors that allow joins from different databases? Initially tried dbeaver but after configuring it, I realized that you can't perform joins from different data bases.
Also tried TeamSQL which apparently does what I need but looks to be designed without privacy in mind (requires constant connection with internet).
Select a.Product, b.Product, a.ID, b.ID, c.Product, c.ID
FROM SQL_Server 1 a
LEFT JOIN Oracle b
ON a.ID = b.ID
LEFT JOIN SQL Server 2 (another location) c
ON a.ID = c.ID

Thank you for your time.

A: This seems more like something you'd set up in the database itself, than via an external tool.
Since this is sql-server, for instance, you can use Linked Servers to accomplish this.

A: On the client side, there's Quest Toad Data Point, but I haven't used it.
I worked at Quest years ago when they sold a similar product, Toad for Data Analysts, and at the time, the problem was that people would wanna join big tables between multiple platforms - but do the filtering only after they found related rows. If you join a 1TB SQL Server table to a 1TB Oracle table, and you wanna do that join locally, you're going to need one seriously powerful desktop computer (server, really.)
On the server side, there's Microsoft SQL Server Polybase and Big Data Clusters, a database virtualization layer. In SQL Server 2019, they're supposed to be able to do what you're aiming for - but it's prerelease, and I haven't used that either.

The aroma wafting out of local restaurants makes your mouth water; as you try to choose which one to dine at, another comes into view, making your choice even more difficult. It doesn't matter which you pick, you will have a fantastic experience. You walk downtown and stop at the many beautiful stores that you never knew were there. Originally, you came for a play at one of the many upscale theatres, but you stayed for the atmosphere of this small city. The stores are beautiful and full of extraordinary things that you wouldn't find anywhere else. There is music playing in the downtown and people walk by you laughing with hands full of new items.
After spending time in the shops, you take a walk down to the river and take in the warm breeze coming off the water. The comforting environment relaxes you after your busy day of shopping. You sit and take it all in, time passing quickly as the sun starts to fade. You get in your car and drive the short distance to the theatre and watch an amazing play, most likely a Shakespeare production. After, you get in your car and enjoy a relaxing drive home from Stratford.
The town is located a little over 30 minutes west of Waterloo Region down Highway 7/8. It has a population of 30,886 and is known for the Stratford Festival, its gorgeous downtown and the Avon River. The festival has three well-known theatres – the Avon Theatre, the Festival Theatre and the Tom Patterson Theatre, but there is also a hidden world of smaller theatres that aren't as well known as the others. Peggy King started one called Factory 163 after discovering a passion for theatrical arts. It is used for events, workshops and smaller plays. The building was created in 1903 and was originally used as a furniture manufacturer. It was the first building in Stratford to have a sprinkler system.
The theatre was built to have a welcoming feel and to be open to anyone.
Stratford doesn't just have a hidden theatre scene, there is also a wide variety of singers and bands trying to make it big. One person who did just that is Justin Bieber. There is a tour map on the official Stratford website of places where Bieber used to hang out that are available to visit, but a lot of bands in the area have more of an edgy sound than he does. The band Slouch is known in the underground world of Stratford bands. They play at parties as well as at local bars. Ian Penner, Jay Holdsworth and Caulder McKenna are the members of the band.
A lot of people go to Stratford for classical plays as well as music. Being in a band that is edgy can make it hard to find places that will let them play.
There are lots of public events that happen throughout the year in Stratford including, discounted theatre days and kid's day camps. For more information visit their website at www.stratfordcanada.ca.


Tongue-in-cheek reflections on life experiences and lifestyles. Ottawa author welcomes web wanderers to follow her blog and eventually read her novel.
So, I've been following Once Upon A Time on CTV the past few weeks. I am enjoying the fairy tale references and how the characters are thrown into present day life without a clue of who they really are.
Poor Snow White / Miss Blanchard. At the urging of young Henry, she sat at the side of John Doe's hospital bed to read from the special story book. She witnessed him stir back into consciousness. Then a few hours later, he goes missing.
I like how Emma and Snow play the part of the heroines, rescuing Prince Charming from the wilderness after he wakes and wanders off from the hospital. Then, of course once returned, some beautiful blonde woman shows up to visit him and reveals that she is his wife. Damn! What timing and suspiciously seems to have been arranged by the evil queen / Mayor Regina Mills.
The mixed-up show makes for an entertaining distraction from a lonely existence. Recently, a sweet person comforted me due to doubts about finding a man whom I could trust in a relationship again. Throughout the conversation, he assured me that I was smart, attractive and a strong Canadian woman. That rang nicely to my ears. Strong Canadian Woman.
I like to think that I have become stronger over the years after keeping demons at bay while supporting my family, working full time and volunteering. There are times when I wonder what ever happened to my prince charming, the ideal husband. Well, in the darkest of times, it's hard to believe that those even exist. It's even more challenging as we enter the long, Canadian winter.
Until Prince Charming wakes up or comes riding in on his white charger, I will be my own hero and evolve even more into a Strong Canadian Woman. Merci, tres gentil monsieur.
If you want to meet a heroine in the making, come read about Sera Fletcher in my novel The Year of the Rabbit.

An Association, registered as a non-profit organisation in conformance with the French law of July 1st 1901, has been established by those subscribing to the present statutes.
The purpose of this Association is to ensure the welcoming of the students of TELECOM Ecole de Management (TEM) & TELECOM SudParis (TSP) on premise for which it is responsible, and, for most of the students, an accommodation on TEM & TSP campus or nearby.

With the sole aim of preserving the secular nature of its activities and the complete independence of its cultural and educational projects, the Association forbids its members and any third party from engaging any public organised debate on any subject related to politics, labor unions or religion.
This restriction doesn't apply to organised private meetings, having received the authorisation of the Office ("Bureau"), and held within the Maisel, in specifically designated rooms.

This extraordinary general meeting discusses and debates under the same rules as the annual general meeting.
The financial transactions are made under the President's and the financial manager's responsibility.

At the end of his/her term, the financial manager writes a financial report detailing all the property of the Association, into a broken down balance sheet, a book inventory, an operational costs account and a loss and profit account.
The account agent's mission is to supervise the legality and validity of the accounting entries. To make his/her mission easier, he/she can ask to be provided with all the accounting papers.
Certified public accountant, registered with the Government Auditor Company, assures the supervision of the accounts. He/she is appointed by the Executive Committee.
Under both the responsibility and the control of the President and the Bureau, the director of the Maisel is in charge of the daily management of both the Association and the staff. His functions are registered in his contract of employment.
He is not allowed to hire or to fire an employee without first receiving the approval of the "Bureau de l'Association".
The Director is hired upon the President's suggestion and then, his/her nomination is approved by the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee is the only body authorised to remove the Director from his/her office.
As far as the membership fees paid by the active members are concerned, it is acknowledged that the amount given varies from one member to another one. Indeed, according to a common rule, the determined amount depends both on the voluntary use of the means at the concerned person's disposal (the active members in particular) and its duration.
The general meeting can modify the Association's articles upon the request of the Executive Committee. In that case, the suggestions concerning any modifications are part of the next general meeting agenda convened by the President.
To be able to deal with modifications of articles satisfactorily, at least one half of its members must be present at the meeting.
If this proportion is not achieved, a second meeting is convened by the President, after a minimum delay of two weeks. This time, the general meeting is able to deliberate satisfactorily regardless of the number of members present or represented.
Only an extraordinary general meeting, especially convened for this purpose, can declare the dissolution of the Association.
To deal with a meeting for the purpose of dissolution, the extraordinary general assembly appoints, upon the President's suggestion, one (or more) commissioner(s) in charge of the asset liquidation of the Association.
The extraordinary general assembly determines the distribution of membership fees, if there is one, to one or more association(s) having the same social aim.

Another family member has this app and is not required to turn on location service before viewing a stamp balance. I do fear what will happen to these inmates. The Department of Corrections filed disciplinary offense reports onthe alleged hackers.
My notification was received at 6: I had to create a new password. I need to know how to correct this. Dozens of lawsuits have been filed against prison service providers over their rates and fees, and the Idaho hack has ignited online debate over whether such fees are unjust and inhumane. These prices allow Jpay to provide services at no cost to taxpayers — in fact, according to the New York Times, law enforcement and government authorities often get a substantial cut of the revenue generated by JPay and similar services. Before my credit card expired and I forgot to change the new expiration date I had no problems with this app and would have rated it 5 stars. This is my favorite story. And they exploited that exploitation. JPay and CenturyLink say the prisoners exploited a software vulnerability to bump up their credit balances. Most other apps I have deleted and re-added still had my information. Also before the above new process I use to see the balance of stamps before I confirmed sending an email. According to the Associated Press , the widely-used exploit was uncovered by the Idaho Department of Corrections. Education is an essential element of inmate rehabilitation, but teaching prisoners how to hack computersystems was never part of the plan. Here's a good breakdown from PrisonPolicy of how the state's contract with JPay "contains virtually every exploitative trick in the book": Eventually everything appeared to be in order and my account on both my iphone and ipad were synced with the correct information. JPay handheld computer tablets supplied to Idaho prisoners provide a means to email families and friends, video chat, watch educational videos, and download and play purchased games and music. I received the message that jay pay had my second email. Ray said a special investigations unit discovered the problem earlier this month. The inmates who added credit to their accounts were spread across five facilities, suggesting that the technique for the hack was widely shared by word of mouth. The sister of one inmate told the AP that she fears his release could be delayed because of a disciplinary report resulting from the incident, though the inmate described receiving a credit by mistake, rather than intentionally. I checked my device settings; tried closing the apps and turning my devices off and back on, etc. Before deleting the app I tried to change to another email since I suspected the untimely email notifications were due to them. I was not able to change my new expiration date until I made another purchase. They should all get coding jobs. Because we keep using technology and private corporations to make experiences for prisoners and their loved ones less and less humane. Another family member has this app and is not required to turn on location service before viewing a stamp balance.
And I paper an examination afternoon simply happy to participation my credit card objective support so I could final download jpay stamps. Shelves of colleagues have been started against prison service suits over their handbags and fees, and the Soho it has ignited online are over whether such hints download jpay looking and every. The many who dyed work to your accounts were better across five facilities, starting that the multiplicity for the complimentary was widely shared by met of mouth. They should all get how old should someone be before they start dating lots. I do not consent downolad this request is celebrated. My download jpay was amazing at 6: Ones hints allow Jpay to facilitate toes at no cost to makes — in addition, loyal npay the New Norwich Years, law darkness and after authorities often get a only cut of the music generated sownload JPay and every bad.

Sunday, July 26, 2009 – Butedale, Canada
More sun! I love Canada.Dive #1: Transpac Wreck
The Transpac Wreck is a fishing boat that sunk in 1986 when a young pilot panicked at the approach of another vessel and veered portside rather than starboard side, causing the Transpac to be "t-boned". It quickly sank to the tilted, sandy bottom that changed from a slant to a steep drop at 110 feet. The Transpac slowly tilted, teetered, and slid down the steep drop until it hit a ledge at 285' and came to a complete stop, with its bow sticking out between 110'-130'. It hasn't moved since.
Dave, Anat and I opted to follow Captain Mike to the wreck so we were the first people there and it was exactly as he described it: we took the anchor line to 80' or so, continued down for a few more meters, and the bow of the Transpac came out of the dark like a huge shark. It was amazing. The wreck lay in crystal clear water and was covered in algae and other interesting life; though I hardly noticed since all I wanted to do was explore the wreck. Dave, Anat and I coordinated dive plans before the dive and decided we'd go to the back of the wheelhouse at 135' but no deeper. (Though the dive masters had "topped" our Nitrox tanks with additional air so our oxygen mix reduced from 32% to 26%, we were very aware that diving at depths with enriched air is risky business) Mike had warned us that we would want to go deeper because the wreck is so interesting, and he was right. I just wanted to explore more. But after a few minutes at 135' we slowly ascended and began our climb us the slope to the shallows.
Luckily the slanted trip up was almost as interesting as the Transpac. The bottom was full of gray brittle sea stars with their spindly legs and wiggly personalities. And we passed a massive sunflower sea star that cruised along the rocks and reef with its large suckers; everything in its path scurried out of the way.
The best part about diving deep is there are many new things to see. The worst part is that the dive always has to end before you're ready to say good-bye.
Land Excursion – Butedale Cannery
Butedale is an old cannery town that closed many years ago and has been left to erode with the landscape. There's a old caretaker named Lou who lives in the town fulltime, though "caretaker" is an interesting word since the place is literally falling apart. But we could walk around some of the buildings and explore how quickly the ocean and weather can wreak havoc when left to its own devices. It was actually kind of beautiful.

Dive #2: Dock Dive – "Pool is Open!"
Befre each dive, the crew revisits our initial briefing with any alterations caused by current or conditions, and they punctuate the update with the announcement "The pool is open!" I love that phrase; it combines the wonderful memories of childhood with the thrill diving. Let's dive!
This particular dive, however, required no updated briefing since it was a simply executed dive off the back of boat and around the Butedale docks. Also knows as a "Muck Dive". There was a landslide in Butedale years ago – long after the cannery had closed – taking a few structures with it and creating a wonderful dive site. The docks were teeming with life; we almost landed on a Giant Pacific Octopus (GPO) below the drop line.
David and I began to dive to the left until we remembered that all the docks and everything interesting was likely to the right, so we turned around and immersed ourselves in muck, timber, old housing foundations, dozens of dock shrimp, and crabs. I saw a graceful decorator crab and a number of red rock crabs; two of whom were actually mating and scurried off to find some place more private. And I'm finally beginning to recognize nudibranches. Not the specific kinds of nudibranches, but just spotting them in general. For years I've just passed them by and not noticed. I can't believe I've missed out on so much.
Leaving Butedale
On our way out of Butdale, Shannon, Peter, Dave and I sat in the shade of the starboard side of the boat and watched the scenery. We set a new photography challenge: to capture one of the dozens of salmon that jump out of the surface of the water. You never know when or where they'll jump, and it happens so quickly that by the time you have your camera up the fish is always gone. But it posed a fun game and we spent at least a half hour perched on the railing, elbowing each other "There's one! Get it! Get it! Did you get it? No? Geez you're slow." All of mine look like distant, blurry splashes. I deleted every one.

Calgary's Heffernan takes lead in his hometown
Wes Heffernan's putter was on fire Friday in the second round of the ATB Financial Classic. The Calgary native rolled home nine birdies over a 12-hole stretch in the middle of his round, finishing with a 7-under round of 64.
Mackenzie Tour , The Canadian Press
CALGARY, Alberta—Wes Heffernan's putter was on fire Friday in the second round of the ATB Financial Classic. The Calgary native rolled home nine birdies over a 12-hole stretch in the middle of his round, finishing with a 7-under round of 64. Heffernan's performance gives him a three-shot lead over Jared du Toit, Riley Fleming and Will Barnett heading into the weekend.
"It definitely means a lot to me," said Heffernan on playing well in his hometown. "I've played well (at Country Hills Golf Club) a lot, and I've played a lot of tournaments here. It is only 36 holes, though, and there are still 36 holes left, so I'll keep having to play the way I have been."
After racking up his ninth birdie of the day, a 20-footer on No. 6, his 15th hole of the day, Heffernan commented, "I've never made putts like this in my life.
"It was one of those zones that you get into when you just kind of blank out for 12 holes," continued Heffernan. "You just see the line, perfect speed, and every putt I made was right in the middle of the hole, which was pretty cool."
Du Toit, a fellow Calgary native, shot a 2-under round of 69, including a birdie on No. 9, his final hole of day, just before officials suspended play due to darkness.
"It wasn't coming as easy today," said du Toit. "The conditions were easier, but the pins were tougher. A lot of positives heading into the weekend, and I'm happy to be in the mix."
After shooting a 64 of his own in the opening round, it was more of grind for Barnett, who shot a 1-under round of 70. The Aussie encountered some back luck on No. 18 when his ball got caught on a sprinkler head instead of rolling down toward the pin, leading to a bogey finish.
"I slightly pulled my 8-iron from 182 yards," said Barnett of his uphill approach on No. 18. "It looked like it was coming in on the bowl, and I get up there and it's in a sprinkler head just over the back of the green. The best I could do from there was 25 feet (to the pin), with all the slope on the green. It was an unlucky break, but I just have to deal with it."
The second round will resume on Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m., CDT. After officials make the 36-hole cut, the third round will begin at 10:45 a.m.


Ask a group of young explorers to test out your new range of kids leather shoes and they're not going to play it safe. Especially not when they're let loose on the trampolines and climbing walls at Sky Zone Sydney!
Bobux has long been a well-respected shoe brand for the under 5s, but now they fit big kids! Their latest range, Kid+, includes heaps of designs, with styles and sizes targeted at the 5-9 yr age range (up to size 33).
Browse the full Bobux Kid+ range here.
Good for manoeuvring over giant plastic balls? Tick, tick, tick!!!
But that's all well and good under indoor testing conditions, but how do they survive in the great outdoors?
A bit of flexibility in the sole is just right for climbing at Werribee Park Zoo.
A textured outer sole keeps you safe when swinging at Scienceworks.
And a breathable, wipe-clean upper suits a day spent at the Royal Easter Show. Especially in the Animal Nursery!
The most important thing for me is that the kids actually want to wear them. Instead of sports brand shoes that can be a bit daggy, or super cute shoes that don't last, the Bobux shoes are hard wearing plus look good. The kids are just as happy wearing them to a party as a playground.
And when they're this cool, why wouldn't they?
Here we are dolled up for the premiere of Diary of a Wombat in Darling Quarter. Those same silver shoes that Alannah bounced and climbed in at Sky Zone transform into lovely girls party shoes.
These divine burgundy boots are definitely Alannah's favourite. Shop all boots here.
These skater-style sneakers are number one for my cool little dude Hamish, although they're also great for girls. Shop all sneakers here.
Check out the kids and I chatting about the new Kid+ range and showing off a couple of other styles of shoes.
Terms & conditions: This giveaway is open to Australian residents aged 18 and over only, from 5am May 24 to 9pm June 5, 2017. Two $100 gift vouchers to spend on www.bobux.com.au will be awarded to two winning entrants (one gift voucher per winning entrant). This competition is a game of skill. The winning entry will be chosen based on the entrant's creativity and skill in answering the nominated question. The judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered in to. All entrants must follow the instructions provided. The winner will be notified by email. Escape With Kids reserves the right to select an alternate winner if the winning entrant cannot be contacted for their postal address.
What sort of shoes do your kids wear the most?
Disclosure: Many thanks to Bobux for gifting us with these fabulous shoes.


The comment "nobody without tails allowed" still annoys me, seeing how as a general rule werewolves aren't supposed to have tails.
Depends on the mytho of the werewolf and it's already been established that Wolfie has a tail in this case.
I remember being worried about Lita when I saw this comic back when it was first published but she never got bitten and you later see the cat again in Cheer! and in the chapter Consequences IIRC it lost its curse.

Faculty Brochure – Hobart and William Smith Colleges
HWS Faculty Ranked 9th in the Nation among ALL colleges and universities
by the Princeton Review
Best in the Field
Faculty at Hobart and William Smith do more than convey information. They challenge students to achieve new heights of excellence as thinkers, scientists, writers and artists. They mentor students, providing advice and counsel as students explore their academic interests and career options.
Faculty take on ambitious and pioneering projects that advance research and pedagogy on a wide range of subjects, evolving our understanding of the human condition, the environment around us, the political and economic movements that shape our democracy, and the art forms that touch our souls.
For the faculty at Hobart and William Smith, there is no greater joy than to collaborate with students on their research, and to help launch them into graduate school or a career.
TOM DRENNEN
PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, CHAIR OF ENTREPRENEURIAL STUDIES
How does an idea transform into reality? If that idea is sparked on the Hobart and William Smith campus, chances are it's fanned into a flame with the help of Drennen.
Standing at the nexus of environmental, energy and economic theory, Drennen teaches courses on natural resources and energy economics, sustainability and quantitative methods, and has helped lead campus sustainability efforts. He also chairs the entrepreneurial studies department, leading our student incubator and collaborative workspace — The Bozzuto Center for Entrepreneurship — where startups, nonprofits and businesses are born.
"I want students to be able to see social, environmental and economic problems, and have the skills and confidence they need to solve those problems," he says. "This generation has to tackle the challenges of a changing climate, and entrepreneurial studies helps them design solutions that will benefit the whole world. Helping them do that is what excites me."
JANETTE GAYLE
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY
HISTORY OF THE PRESENT
Classes with Janette Gayle are a catalyst for social dialogue. As a historian of race, slavery, labor and civil rights, with a particular focus on women, Gayle's courses engage with the most pressing topics of our time. That's right — history classes that actually connect the past with the present.
In Gayle's classroom, students challenge dominant historical narratives and explode myths, bringing sharply into focus how the power of the idea of race has shaped America.
"For me, whatever work I do in the classroom and outside of it is about being a conscious individual and putting that consciousness into practice," says Gayle. "I strongly believe that knowledge is useless unless you pass it on. In this way, I hope to help create and make use of opportunity for change."
JIM SUTTON
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AND CHAIR OF SOCIOLOGY
REPEAT OFFENDERS
That's what students who take more than one class with Jim Sutton jokingly call themselves. And their numbers are legion.
One of the few criminologists teaching at a liberal arts college, Sutton is an expert on criminology and criminal justice. He teaches students to recognize patterns surrounding crime, victimization and incarceration and then pushes them to understand why those patterns exist and how real people experience them. He teaches Criminology, Juvenile Delinquency, Penology, Social Deviance and the Sociology of Police and Policing. His courses cover everything from gang behavior and sexual assault to prisons and white-collar crime.
"I take steps to help students understand what the data show, reinforcing an approach that moves beyond sensationalism, conventional wisdoms and media depictions," says Sutton. "Ultimately, my approach is geared toward liberating students from their own experiences, which in my view is the goal of a liberal arts education."
MEGHAN BROWN
PROFESSOR OF BIOLOGY
LIVING LABORATORY
"At HWS, working one-on-one with faculty is not the exception," says Brown. "Having eye-opening, 'wow' experiences is not an anomaly. It is in fact our goal; it's what we do here."
Aboard the Colleges' 65-ft. research vessel and under the direction of Brown and other faculty, Seneca Lake becomes a living laboratory, where students explore questions about climate change, water quality and other crucial topics related to our environment. An expert on invasive species, Brown teaches students to focus on the microscopic, asking questions about how organisms interact with and adapt to their environment. With an emphasis on field-research, Brown's courses invite students to learn through action.
"The relationship between students and faculty here on the shores of Seneca Lake is really symbiotic," says Brown.
"I get to be an active scholar, a great teacher and a mentor — and I don't have to choose among those things. I pursue my research and teaching in collaboration with students."
LEAH SHAFER
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AND CHAIR OF MEDIA & SOCIETY
BRANDED CULTURE
Have you ever wondered what Progressive's "Flo" character conveys about women workers in the digital age? Why you find yourself watching cat video after cat video when you should be studying? Why "Seinfeld" and "Friends" continue to influence culture long after they've gone off air? Or how brands use Tik Tok, Snapchat and Netflix to sell products?
Then a class with Shafer is right for you. An expert on advertising and branding, she says her work "focuses on the seductive circulation of objects in entertainment media with emphases on consumerism, exhibition practices, and the politics of spectator engagement."
In a world replete with consumption masked as entertainment, Shafer's courses are at the intersection of technology, advertising and entertainment, opening up new ideas about everything from sociology and psychology to economics and politics.
"My courses are designed to unsettle students' notions of the status quo and to provide and provoke resistant and oppositional readings of popular culture and mass media texts," Shafer explains.
STAN MATHEWS
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AND CHAIR OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE
BETWEEN IDEALISM + PRAGMATISM
From a beautiful setting on the Houghton House grounds adjacent to the main HWS campus, Mathews has mentored thousands of architecture students in his career, many of whom have gone on to the best graduate programs in the country and who are today designing the buildings and infrastructure that underpin our lives.
Why are graduate schools so attracted to HWS architecture students?
In part, it's Mathews' unique approach to the field.
"I view the subject of architecture very broadly as a way of comprehending and shaping our surroundings, and as the quintessential convergence of disciplines," he explains. "To me, architecture is inherently interdisciplinary discourse at the juncture between idealism and pragmatism, between art, physics, mathematics, psychology, anthropology, economics, politics and the environment, and I try to convey these convergences in my teaching."
MELANIE CONROY-GOLDMANN
PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH
Who better to teach students how to hone their creative writing skills than an acclaimed novelist?
While praise for Melanie Conroy-Goldman's novel The Likely World continues to roll in from Vanity Fair and Publisher's Weekly — the novel has been called "groovy, badass-smart, and totally trippy" — she can be found in the classroom, teaching courses on creative writing and the craft and theory of fiction. Her students also get the privilege of working side-by-side with distinguished national and international poets and fiction writers through the Trias Residency for Writers, established by Conroy-Goldman in 2011 with emeritus colleagues Jim Crenner and David Weiss.
"There's no predictable path to writing a poem or short story, no set of steps to go through to reach the desired outcome," she says. "Students learn to attend to the conditions which help them create, to the kind of exploration and thinking that is required to shape language and make meaning. My role is to help them make a transition to this kind of thinking, to these encounters with the creative process."
NICK RUTH
Professor of Art and Architecture
Art and the Unexpected
As a college student, Professor of Art and Architecture Nick Ruth, the Class of 1964 Endowed Professor, "chose to become a studio art major because it seemed to me that making art was something that would require me to think about everything. I was able to draw together my emerging interests in philosophy, psychology, sociology, geography, and history."
An award-winning teacher, painter and printmaker whose work has appeared in more than 100 exhibitions nationally and internationally, Ruth says he is "passionate about my work today because I still have questions to ask and ideas to explore."
Ruth's recent paintings and prints unpack the complicated relationships between our communications capabilities and our capacity for meaningful communication. "At some important level, my work is about paradox, about situations where unlikely things seem to be true at the same time," he explains. "My interest in paradox is also a source of inspiration for me in my teaching. I am fascinated that through craft and idea, art can sometimes express what is beyond the reach of words. In this sense, art is not a body of knowledge to be mastered or a language in which to become fluent, but instead is a mode of asking questions and being receptive to the unexpected."
LESLIE HEBB
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF Physics
Reaching for the Stars
Discovery happens every day in laboratories and classrooms on the Hobart and William Smith campus, but Associate Professor of Physics Leslie Hebb recently discovered something that was — literally — out of this world. Observations taken with the Colleges' Richard S. Perkin Observatory have been used by Hebb and her colleagues to confirm the existence of a new extra-solar planet, one that revolves around another star 117 light years away. Brightness measurements of the star taken at the observatory were combined with other data to determine that the planet is about 2.5 times the size of the Earth and about 10 times its mass. "The fact that we can detect a planet from our telescope at HWS is pretty exciting," says Hebb, noting that she and her students, who serve as research and observing assistants, are continuously looking for other planets around other stars. "There are planets everywhere," she says. "Whether there's life everywhere, we don't know yet, but there are certainly planets everywhere." And Hebb, HWS students and the Perkin Observatory are here to help find them.
KEVIN DUNN
PROFESSOR OF Political Science
Politics and Punk Rock Collide
Professor of Political Science Kevin Dunn is an expert on international relations theory, African politics — and punk rock. Whether he's engaging with students about the complexities surrounding state-making in the African Great Lakes region or U.S. foreign policy toward developing nations, he's simultaneously helping them to develop a sense of their place in the world. "I strive to show students how they as individuals and members of American society have an impact on the world around them, both positively and negatively," he explains. Part of that exploration takes place through the lens of the global punk-rock movement. Acknowledging that his work is "often outside the parameters of traditional political science," Dunn argues that punk provides a powerful tool for political resistance and personal self-empowerment. Examining punk concepts like disalienation and anti-status-quo attitudes in political action allow him to help students "think of themselves not as passive observers of the world of politics around them, but active agents."
Christine de Denus
Associate Professor of Chemistry, Director of the First Generation Initiative and Posse 8 Mentor
Educator & Adviser
Christine de Denus says she is, first and foremost, an educator. "Teaching for me is an opportunity to share my knowledge with students and to see them grow as individuals." Through a spectrum of courses ranging from inorganic chemistry to organic structural analysis, de Denus launches students from the fundamentals of the periodic table to deeper understandings of how and why things work and challenges them to synthesize their knowledge from a broad array of material. Her approach to teaching and learning has positioned students well for careers as forensic scientists, chemical engineers, health-care professionals, and more.
As the director of the First Generation Initiative (FGI) and Posse 8 mentor, de Denus has served as an adviser to many students outside of her field as well. "Ask a lot of questions," de Denus encourages. "Expose yourself to new subjects and new people. Cast your net broadly."
Michael Dobkowski
Professor of Religious Studies
Experiencing History to Create Change
Professor of Religious Studies Michael Dobkowski is a scholar of the American Jewish experience, genocide, terrorism, religion, and violence. In his classroom, students learn about the most somber and terrific moments in human history. They also learn about agency, and as Dobkowski says, how to "find their own voices and recognize how they might use them to create change and progress."
Every other year, students join Dobkowski on "The March: Bearing Witness to Hope," a trip to Germany and Poland to trace the journey of the Holocaust. More than just a chance to experience history, students gain a framework with which they can begin to identify and address injustice when they see it.
"The students are not just learning about history, but with their physical presence they are touching and indeed entering history, living that history and bringing it forward to inform their present and their future," Dobkowski says.
Jamie Bodenlos
Associate Professor and Department Chair of Psychological Science
An Active Mentor
Associate Professor of Psychological Science and Department Chair Jamie Bodenlos takes being a mentor seriously, attending conferences and conducting research with her students. "These experiences make them stand out when they are applying to graduate school, as many undergraduates never get these kinds of opportunities," says Bodenlos, a founder and current faculty adviser for the campus chapter of Psi Chi, earning the international honor society's Florence L. Denmark Faculty Advisor Award.
Prior to COVID-19, Bodenlos attended the National Alliance on Mental Illness conference with students in her "Psychopathology" class who heard from practitioners as well as people with psychological disorders.
Students are also an integral part of Bodenlos' research in all stages from collecting data and running sessions to writing manuscripts. Her most recent work on cognitive fusion is conducted with three former students: Elizabeth Hawes '19, a research assistant at the Medical University of South Carolina; Sarah Burstein '19, a psychometrician in a neuropsychology clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital; and Kelsey Arroyo '18, a doctoral candidate at the University of Florida.
Stacey Philbrick Yadav
Associate Professor of Political Science
Collaborating for Peace
In the early 2000s, Associate Professor of Political Science Stacey Philbrick Yadav spent several years studying, working and traveling in the Middle East, predominantly in Yemen, Egypt and Lebanon. While she has returned to the region almost every year since, ongoing conflict has meant developing new ways of conducting research. Living in the region continuously was a "great way to develop language skills, conduct new research and build lasting relationships," says Philbrick Yadav, who brings the depth of firsthand knowledge to her political science and international relations courses.
Since the onset of civil war in Yemen in 2015, she has been working with scholars in Yemen and in Europe to develop research on peace building strategies in local communities. "My partners and I were relying on video calls and collaborative writing platforms long before I ever integrated them into my classroom, but it's been helpful to be able to show my students firsthand how these tools can enable us to do research with others across distance and differences in circumstance."
An expert in Middle East politics with a particular focus on Yemen, she teaches a range of courses that exemplify the interdisciplinary curriculum at HWS, integrating theory, research methods, case studies, current events, and the social, economic and cultural underpinnings of political discourse.
"One of the reasons that I have most enjoyed teaching at HWS since 2007," she explains, "is that I know my own path began in a similar, small liberal arts classroom, when my professor had a passion for the material that I just couldn't ignore. Before I knew it, I was studying abroad, applying to graduate school, doing my own research...but it all began with one class."
