ANALYSIS: Kosovo Victims Gagged
Milosevic's alleged victims will in the future only be allowed to testify or speak in public about subjects he's interested in and which he deems relevant.
By Mirko Klarin
"But you did not ask me about what I survived!" Thus spoke an astonished Sadik Januzi, when Judge Richard May - after only 35 minutes of questioning - thanked him for his appearance and told him he was free to go. Januzi, an 80-year-old farmer from the Kosovo village of Broje, had come to the trial of Slobodan Milosevic to testify about a massacre in the village of Izbica on March 28, 1999, which he luckily survived.
In April that year, as a refugee in Albania he had told his story to the prosecution investigators. They had written down his statement and in January 2002 the illiterate old man, in accordance with Rule 92bis of the tribunal procedure, confirmed to a tribunal official that the statement read out to him was the one he gave the investigators.
Last week, he was one of a dozen witnesses whose written statements were included in the evidence and who came to The Hague for cross-examination by Milosevic and the attorneys appointed as amici curiae (friends of the court). The prosecution cannot examine such witnesses but may present a brief summary of their written statements before the cross-examination begins.
The court heard in the summary read by prosecutor Dirk Ryneveld, that on March 27, 1999 about 5,000 people, mostly refugees who had fled Serbian shelling of their homes, had gathered at a meadow near Izbica. The next day Serbian forces entered the village, separated the men from the women and children and ordered the latter to move off in the direction of Albania. Two old disabled women were burned alive.
The Serbs divided the men into two groups, each of about 70 people. One was taken towards the local stream, while the other, older men aged 40 to 96 was taken uphill. Januzi was in the latter group, which was escorted by a dozen soldiers.
Januzi's statement said that after the Serbs suddenly called them to a halt, he heard the order, "Fire!" Machine gun fire followed and he fell to the ground, uninjured and was covered by the bodies of three men who had been shot dead. Concealed by the corpses, he heard the soldiers checking if everyone was dead and shooting any that showed signs of life. Then, he heard one say, "Let's go, our job here is finished".
Milosevic, not surprisingly, quizzed the witness about everything except the massacre. Irritated by the fact that he "knew nothing" of KLA activities in the Izbica area, Milosevic gave up the cross-examination after only 20 minutes.
One of the amici curiae, Belgrade attorney Branislav Tapuskovic, who was equally uninterested in the events in Izbica, then asked questions. Although the witness reminded him that he was "the only person who survived the massacre" and invited him "to concentrate on that fact", it was to no avail. Judge May offered some comfort to the disappointed witness, insisting that the judges had got his statement, had read it and knew what had happened to him.
But what of the public? While the witnesses without doubt feel they have the right to recount their ordeals in public, and in front of the person they hold responsible for what they and their families endured, the public also has the right to hear first-hand accounts of victims or eye-witnesses. This is how they learn what happened. The need was even greater in this particular case, given the fact that the Milosevic propaganda machine made an example of the Izbica events, using it to claim "stories of mass graves" of Kosovo Albanians were "NATO propaganda".
The Izbica case first came to light in April 1999 at a NATO war briefing, when the public was shown air-reconnaissance photographs of a long line of fresh graves near the village. A few days later, Serbian television showed footage - allegedly of the same area, claiming there were no graves. A so-called Albanian shepherd from Izbica said on camera that no massacre had taken place.
Januzi s testimony was an opportunity to settle this controversy in public, not only in the court files. If the prosecution finds no other survivors to testify orally about what happened in Izbica, the truth will probably remain disputed until the final court decision, and possibly beyond it.
Januzi was not the only witness in the trial to be denied the chance to recount his sufferings in public. Much the same happened to all of last week's witnesses whom Milosevic and the amici curiae questioned. Milosevic has no interest in that part of their written statements. His cross-examination invariably focused on the KLA, on the consequences of NATO bombardment, and on rebutting claims that Kosovo Albanians had faced discrimination in Serbia.
Faced with the strict time limit that the trial chamber has now imposed, and its request for the prosecution to complete presenting evidence for all three Milosevic indictments by April 10, 2003, the prosecution last week announced they would save time by presenting all the testimonies of victims and witnesses of specific crimes as written statements.
Geoffrey Nice, the prosecution team coordinator, said priority for oral testimonies would go to "international witnesses", "insiders" and to "linkage witnesses" who could connect Milosevic to events or phenomena relevant to the indictment.
Since the appeals chamber late last week turned down a prosecution request for the right to appeal against the imposed deadline, the latter now has no choice but to make extensive use of written statements by victims or witnesses to specific crimes.
It means that in future the victims of the crimes Milosevic is accused of in Kosovo, Croatia and Bosnia will - for the main part - only be allowed to speak before the court and the public on topics that the defendant himself is interested in, and which he deems relevant. Written statements about their sufferings will, of course, be included in the court file and will be taken into account in the final judgement. But as Sadik Januzi found out last week, their story will be kept from the public.

7 Reasons Not to Delete Your Facebook Account
As users everywhere scramble to secure their Facebook privacy, reading various "how to" posts for keeping profile data private, it makes sense that leaving Facebook altogether would cross their minds. Heck, I've considered it myself. But there are various reasons why I've decided not to do that. Although the case may be different for each user, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, during which an app was used to deceptively harvest personal information from over 80 million Facebook users, should not necessarily lead to deletion. Here are seven reasons why you shouldn't delete your Facebook account.
1. It's a Digital Scrapbook of Your Life (Or Business)
Whether you're a business owner or just an individual user, it's a lot easier to say you're going to delete something that contains the history of your entire online existence than actually following through. From major milestones to memorable photos, it's nearly impossible to go through and delete everything, whether it's because of emotional or time-consuming technological reasons. Yes, you may have Instagram and Snapchat, but everything started with Facebook, and it's very unlikely that at some point, you transferred every single media memory over to one of these two other platforms.
Additionally, Facebook has a nice way of commemorating relationships, anniversaries, and milestones in a creative and organized fashion. For those of us who have too much of a hectic lifestyle to sit down and organize large photo albums, Facebook is a perfect digital scrapbook that even has a timestamp so you can look back at what you were doing in the good ol' days.
2. You'll Miss Out on Personalized Experiences
Although we want most of our personal information to be kept private, I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy the occasional ad customized just for me. Which means, of course, that advertisers out there have access to at least some of my personal information. For example, I've recently decided to darken my hair color. As I was considering my color options, lo and behold a Madison Reed ad popped up with a quiz prompt to identify my "perfect shade."
From a digital advertising perspective, you want to give users that personalized experience. Users respond well to it, increasing the likelihood that they'll click on an ad. (Yes, I took the Madison Reed quiz.)
3. It's Family Friendly
Research has shown that older demographics use Facebook more to stay in touch with their younger relatives, as well as with each other. Even if younger users are using Instagram and Snapchat more to network with friends, they may more often than not use Facebook to connect with family. Personally, I use Facebook to stay connected with my parents, grandparents, aunts, and cousins. (Does that mean once in a while my grandma posts a super long comment on my timeline? Well, yeah…)
Looking again from an advertising perspective, you can market family products on Facebook to reach this audience. For instance, maybe you are marketing a sweet family discount on late-night bowling. Or a special family package for a hotel room at a vacation hotspot.
4. It's Community Friendly
From joining Facebook groups that share your interests to making local transactions through Marketplace, you have boundless opportunities to connect with either your local community or online communities. Additionally, Facebook now offers Community Boost, a program that offers training in digital skills to small businesses and community organizations.
5. Even If You Delete Everything, Chances Are Some Data Is Still There
As they say, it's never actually "gone." Your online data, as hard as you may try to delete every last bit of it, will likely still exist somewhere. Plus, even if you delete your Facebook account, misusers can still target your data contained in your other social media accounts. Unless you're really up for deleting all of your social media, deleting Facebook really won't do much one way or the other.
6. We're Wiser Now
Now that we've had the learning experience of Cambridge Analytica, we've become smarter. We know now that we need to diligently make our information more private to protect it from misuse. By becoming more informed users, we not only have the advantage of better protecting ourselves, but we can also improve our digital knowledge and skills overall.
7. Facebook Is Working Harder Than Ever
Throughout all the negative headlines, including not only Cambridge Analytica, but also the Russian troll accounts that distributed politically divisive ads during the 2016 US presidential election, Facebook has released one update after another. Updates that improve online protection of data and fight misuse. For instance, the network recently announced updates for increasing transparency across all ads and pages. Also, Facebook is now including extensive photo and video fact-checks to boost security for this year's US midterm elections. To top it all off, Facebook has even said it will inform each user whether their information was harvested by Cambridge Analytica.
Overall, Facebook has been demonstrating its good intent to prevent misuse of our data and give us the resources we need to better protect our information going forward. Yes, the Cambridge Analytica scandal gave us a justifiable cause for concern. But I personally feel much safer about the Facebook we're going to get after the dust has cleared.

Q: Proofs regarding the golden number Given a succession $r(n)= 1 +\frac{1}{r(n-1)}$
where $r (1)=1$
           and
golden number $\phi =\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$.
How do I prove that
$$\left\lvert r(n)-\phi\right\rvert \leq \frac{1}{\phi ^n}\quad\mbox{and}\quad r(n)\xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{}\phi? $$
This knowing that absolute value of (( r(n)-golden number)/(r(n-1) - golden number)) is less or equal to (1/(golden number)).

A: Hint:
Once you've proven that
$$\frac{|r(n)-\phi|}{|r(n-1)-\phi|} \leq \frac{1}{\phi},$$
prove that $|r(1)-\phi|\leq \frac{1}{\phi}$ and use induction. For the second part, use an $\epsilon$-$\delta$ argument once you know part 1.

Brende: US attack on Syria 'understandable'
Norwegian Foreign Minister Børge Brende said on Friday that the Norwegian government can "understand" why the US attacked a Syrian airbase believed responsible for bombing civilians with chemical weapons earlier in the week.
"The situation is complicated," Brende told reporters in Beijing, where he and Prime Minister Erna Solberg are in the midst of a long-sought official visit to China. "But from the Norwegian side, we have understanding for the reaction to the gruesome attack earlier this week."
Brende, who just finished leading a follow-up meeting to last year's donors conference on aid to Syria's war-torn residents and refugees, said the US attack, ordered by new US President Donald Trump, seemed to be limited and concentrated on military targets. It reportedly involved the firing of several missiles from US naval vessels moored in the Mediterranean that were aimed at runways, hangars, the Shayrat air base's control tower and ammunition storage in Homs province.
Brende said the chemical attack on civilians "showed in all clarity the brutality of the war in Syria" that has killed more than 400,000 people in the past six years. Norway has earlier condemned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons and attacks on civilians. Syria's government has denied it was behind this week's attacks.
Other Norwegian politicians from the Progress, Liberal and Socialist Left (SV) parties also condemned the attacks but were not supporting the US attacks on the Syrian air base. In a rare example of agreement between the right-wing Progress Party, the centrist Liberals and left-wing SV, party officials called the US attack risky and unwise because "we can't see what the consequences will be."
Brende, meanwhile, announced earlier this week that Norway will donate at least NOK 2.3 billion in foreign aid to Syrian war victims in 2017.

The case of the vanishing urn
A pair of listed urns went missing, getting the owner in a spot of bother. The case became the centre of a breach of planning law ending up in the Court of Appeal.
In an idyllic rural village on the edge of the Cotswolds, there stood a magnificent 18th century listed building – Idlicote House in Shipston-on-Stour. In the grounds of that magnificent building was a pair of lead urns atop their limestone piers, each also listed in their own right. In 2009, the then owner, in apparent ignorance of their listed status, decided to sell the urns and piers and he received the worthy sum of £55,000 from an overseas buyer. The urns and their piers then vanished across the oceans, never to be seen again.
Meanwhile, the authorities were alerted of their disappearance and after a little to-ing and fro-ing, the owner submitted a retrospective application for listed building consent to remove the items, which was refused. The Council then issued an Enforcement Notice, which the owner appealed against. The appeal was dismissed and the owner challenged the Inspector's decision in the High Court, which the court refused. The owner then took matters further and challenged the High Court's decision and on 26 November this year three Court of Appeal Judges found in favour of the District Council, refused the arguments raised by the owner and held that the urns and piers do amount to a 'building' for the purposes of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 ("the Listed Building Act") and are therefore worthy of the protection bestowed by their listing.
The implication is that a wide discretion is imposed upon the Secretary of State to determine what, in its opinion, amounts to a 'building' for the purpose of a listing. Once a thing is listed, and there has been no challenge to the validity of the listing within the requisite timeframe then no-one can go behind that listing. One can, however, question the merits of the listing itself, and this is what this case essentially hinges on.
The term 'building' is not defined in the Listed Building Act but s336 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is incorporated, which states that 'building' includes 'any structure or erection, and any part of a building, as so defined, but does not include plant or machinery comprised within a building'.
Despite various attempts by the owner to raise property law arguments and rely on case law on the definition of structures and buildings, the Inspector and the High Court both held that, in determining whether something is a 'building' for the purposes of the Listed Building Act, neither the concept of whether a building is 'real property' nor the approach to buildings taken in other rating and planning cases such as Skerritts of Nottingham Limited v Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (No 2) [2000] EWCA Civ 5569, were relevant.
The judges agreed that what amounted to a listed building was determined by the list and the list only. The judges further clarified that there are three distinct ways in which something may qualify as a 'listed building':
it is included on the statutory list
it is an object or structure fixed to a building which is on the statutory list
it is an object or structure which lies within the curtilage of a building which is on the statutory list and has done so since 1 July 1948
In this case, the urn and piers were included on the statutory list in their own right and therefore were a 'listed building'. Their removal from their long-stood position at Idlicote House was a breach of planning law and a failure to comply with the Enforcement Notice, a criminal offence. The case continues…

Ambrozia \a-mbro-zia, am(b)-rozia\ as a girl's name is a variant of Ambrosine (Greek), and the meaning of Ambrozia is "immortal".
The baby name Ambrozia sounds like Ambrosia, Ambrozine, Ambrosiya and Ambrosina. Another similar baby name is Ambrozetta.


Two members of Islamic Jihad have been shot and killed and another wounded by Israeli soldiers in Nablus in the northern West Bank.
Osman Sadaka, 26, from Jenin, and Mustapha Ghani, 20, from Tulkarm, were killed in a clash when an Israeli unit advanced into Nablus and surrounded a building, said Palestinian medical sources.
The wounded Palestinian was captured by Israeli occupation forces, they said.
An Israeli army spokesman said that an arrest operation was under way in Nablus and that three Palestinians had at least suffered injuries in an exchange of gunfire.
Journalists were prevented from entering the area to cover the incident, an Aljazeera correspondent said.
The deaths bring the overall toll since the September 2000 start of the Palestinian uprising to 5,055, according to an AFP count.
The Palestinian foreign minister will visit Beijing at the end of the month to attend a China-Arab forum, a Chinese foreign ministry official has said. The minister, Mahmud al-Zahar, is also a senior Hamas leader.
Zhai Jun, the director general of the foreign ministry's West Asian and North African division, told reporters on Wednesday: "We have extended the invitation to all the Arab countries. Foreign minister al-Zahar of Palestine will attend the meeting."
Zhai said Chinese foreign minister, Li Zhaoxing, would meet al-Zahar, who will be attending the China-Arab Cooperation Forum in Beijing on May 31 and June 1.
The visit will be the first to China by a Hamas leader since the Islamic movement formed a government after winning elections in January.
China will become the second permanent United Nations Security Council member after Russia to host a Hamas leader since the Palestinian elections.
The United States and the European Union regard Hamas as a terrorist organisation and have frozen aid to the Palestinian Authority, saying it failed to renounce violence and recognise Israel.
The United States has been leading efforts within the international community to cut all political contact with Hamas.

Irish Anti-War Movement Activist Meeting
Submitted by webmaster on Sat, 28/11/2015 - 20:41.
The Irish Anti-War movement, in solidarity with other anti-war events in the UK, France and elsewhere, is assembling outside the Dail on Thursday December 10th to demand of this government that it upholds Irish neutrality, refuses to facilitate, or participate in, the bombing of Syria, calls for an immediate ceasefire and withdraws permission to use Shannon by the US military.
To prepare for this and future anti-war activities, there will be a meeting on Thursday December 3rd, at 6.30 in the Teachers Club, at 37 Parnell Square, Dublin . All welcome.
NO MORE BOMBING OF SYRIA - CEASEFIRE NOW!
END ARMS SALES NOW - STOP PROFITEERING FROM WARS
RESTORE IRISH NEUTRALITY - US MILITARY OUT OF SHANNON
NO MORE WESTERN WARS IN MIDDLE EAST
Ireland should play no part in the current war frenzy. The claim that bombing will destroy Daesh (Islamic State) is patently false. Bombs are one of the main reasons why we are facing terrorism in the first place. Bombs predominantly kill innocent people and thus help to draw people towards Daesh both in the region and in the suburbs of European cities, where discrimination, racism and disaffection further fuels hatred of Western governments. The political vacuum left from the bombing of Iraq, which killed up to a million people, has been filled by the horror of Daesh. To repeat the same mistake now simply makes no sense.
The Irish Government has said it will provide assistance to France. It has invoked Article 42, section 7 of the Lisbon Treaty which says that if an EU member state is the victim of armed aggression, the other member states will be obliged to come to its aid 'by all the means in their power'. Irish Defence Minister Simon Coveney has given his full support for this. He has also said that Irish Defence Forces could take more of a role in Mali to free up French troops for their war on Daesh. This pulls Ireland in to the new war frenzy and is exactly what anti-war activists warned against during the Lisbon Treaty.
Meanwhile, Shannon continues to be used by US troops. Approximately 1,000 U.S. troops are now on the ground in Iraq, with more on their way. 2.25 million troops have passed through Shannon since 2002, which makes it a vital link in the US war on terror. Yet the role of Shannon as a military airport continues to be denied by the Irish government.


In between journalism coursework at UC Berkeley, I applied some of my new-found writing, html coding, and video editing chops to create content about video games online. It was strictly a passion project and I didn't see it going anywhere. I firmly believed that I'd end up in TV journalism and work on news magazine shows or documentary filmmaking. But the readership of my little website just kept on going up. It was then that I realized that my hobby and my job shouldn't be two separate things.
Tell us about IGN. What inspired the idea and what is your vision for the company?
IGN was the brain child of many smart people at print publisher Imagine Media. Under Chris Anderson's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Anderson_(entrepreneur)) direction, the company had started to publish websites around some of its magazine brands. I joined as an editor, took on a leadership role as Editor-in-Chief, and helped launch IGN as a destination. We then spun out the company as a standalone web business under the name Snowball and later rebranded it as IGN Entertainment. We have stayed true to our original vision in that a business centered around premium content and a strong editorial voice can inspire tremendous passion, both from our visitors and from advertisers. We have built upon that core belief and evolved our company tremendously over the years.
What strategic partnerships have you implemented that have attributed to IGN's success?
The emergence of social media and new platforms made a huge impact on IGN. We realized early on that our success would depend on embracing social and video platforms and new devices. We left the concept of being "just a website" behind and focused on creating better infrastructure and processes that would let us take our content and put it wherever games and entertainment fans are. We cautiously syndicated video content to YouTube in 2008 – now, 3.6 Billion views later, we're the 12th most-watched channel on all of YouTube. And video views on our own platforms have continued to grow at an equal clip. You can now watch IGN content via native applications on iOS, Android, Roku, Xbox, and PlayStation, with more to come. At the same time, we have created a way for advertisers to reach our fans across all these platforms and implemented new sponsorship opportunities, from TV-style integrations to smart targeting.
But the most important partnership we continue to refine is with our audience. As an editorial outlet, we must inspire a high level of trust. That's only possible by putting the good of our audience first, and by constantly improving our editorial processes and support structure. Fans who trust you will support and evangelize your business in ways we couldn't possibly accomplish all by ourselves.
There's been a lot of discussion about the democratization of media and whether there is a "there" there for editorial and news media sites. At the same time, just as we've seen a shift from print media to online media across many beats, there is a bigger demand for video over text. Between the 100k+ videos we're already providing as VOD and the weekly live programming we run, we're in good shape when it comes to video growth. But it'd be a mistake to pretend that the written word is becoming obsolete any time soon, that all ads will be video preroll, or that all news or opinion content will be user-gen. There's a tremendous opportunity in exploring the intersection between editorial and user-gen; not to mention in learning from the emerging platforms and how to reach new audiences. If all we did was keep on running IGN as a destination for reviews or, say, a provider of audio podcasts, we would not have seen continued growth over the years. We benefit from being able to see and play games early, from watching movies or TV shows before they're out, and from having access to developers and studios that can provide a behind-the-scenes look at things. At the same time, we also know that editorial voice is incredibly important. We want to be a place where you find personalities that are genuine, entertaining, knowledgeable, and approachable. To that end, we firmly believe in interacting with our audience; answering questions, being open to feedback and challenges, and interacting via social media. The results are highly visible: millions of comments on our articles and videos and an active forum community going on 15 years.
Another big push for us – and example of how we're reacting to how the market is changing – is our worldwide expansion. IGN is now available in 21 editions and 16 different languages. We recently launched the IGN brand in Greece, Portugal, Israel and Latin America, and we've got more local language editions coming up very soon!
Your greatest success as founder of IGN? Most difficult moment-how did you overcome and what did you learn?
It's amazing to see what IGN has become over the years. We started as a loose collection of sites at a print publisher -- and transformed it into a multi-language, multi-screen, multi-platform, 24-hour news and entertainment network. That's awesome. Most difficult moment? The dotcom crash. When the ad market dried up, we had to scale back significantly to weather the storm. Much credit goes to our financial leadership at the time, but we all pulled together and worked long hours to make sure we continued to present the best content we could. It's great to see that some of then radical and risky steps we took, like launching a subscription network, are still part of our brand today.
Don't chase vanity metrics. Figure out how to measure your success and set your goals accordingly.

As for food, I'd have to go with my German roots and go for "Himmel un Ääd" – that's fried blood sausage, mashed potato and apple sauce. Yep. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Scholarships for Hispanic Students Interested in Science!
The Alliance/Merck Ciencia (Science) Hispanic Scholars Program is a new partnership to improve Hispanic student access to higher education and degrees in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The Program provides scholarships at two levels:High School Seniors — $42,500 Scholar Package. Promising Hispanic students attending high school in Brownsville, TX; Elizabeth, NJ; and Los Angeles, CA are invited to apply to become one of ten Alliance/Merck Ciencia Scholars that will be selected in the Spring of 2009 AND College STEM Majors — $2,000 Scholarship. Hispanic college students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories and Puerto Rico pursuing a Bachelor's degree in a STEM field major are invited to apply for a $2,000 one-time scholarship of which 25 will be awarded in the Spring of 2009.
College Summit Helps Minority Students Get into College!
A child whose parents are college educated has a personal advisor to help him/her through the maze of college applications, applying for scholarships, deciding on the right school, and the confusion of applying for student financial aid. How then do first generation students get through the complication? Worse, a Hispanic first generation college student who has parents with no idea of the college process, no idea of the process here in the United States, and don't speak the language?
J.B. Schramm is the founder of College Summit. College Summit is a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to minority students as they apply to college. Schramm remembers fellow high school students who were just as good as he was for a colelge education, but did not apply and did not go. In turn, he has helped many other students not lose motivation as they see their fellow friends not bother with higher education.
College Summit has partnerships with colleges to offer summer workshops for college seniors as well as supporting them throughout their senior year. They also hold an annual college fair. Students are usually recommended to the program by faculty who recognize them as good students but with lack of college aspiration or financial issues.
The Colllege Summit program has excellent results in that 79% of its students enroll in college and 80% graduate from college! Nationally, college enrollment has increased 4% between 2006-2008, but College Summit participating schools had an increase of 15% college enrollment.
College Summit will partner with colleges who in turn offer seminars and workshops to college students over an extended period of time that works with them on writing a college essay, breaking down college admissions costs, applying for financial aid, overcoming college entrance exams, and even seeing what a typical college course is all about.
Stern, G (2008).College summit-Helping minority students navigate the road to college. Hispanic Outlook.
Between 1995 and 2005, the number of minority students enrolled in colelge increased by 50% to 5 million students. The number of white non-minority students only increased by 8%. Minority students now make up approximately 29% of all college students.
Hispanic student college enrollment increased by 66% for more than 1.7 million students.
Hispanic students come from more educated families in 2006, but that Hispanics continue to be at the bottom in terms of parental education at four year institutions.
In 1971, 69.6% of first-generation Hispanic college students were from non-college educated parents but in 2005 the level was down to 13.2%.
In comparison, in 1971 37.3% of non-Hispanic whites were from non-college educated parents but in 2005 the level was down to 13.2%.
· One in five Hispanic college freshmen are concerned about how to pay for their education.
· The top reason for Hispanic students in chosing their college was financial assistance offered.
· The number of Hispanic students attending college has increased, but the number of male students is steadily decreasing.
· Hispanic college students are most likely to attend a school that is within a 50 mile radius of home, but the number of students going beyond the 50 mile radius is also increasing.
· Of Hispanic students, 34.8% will apply to five or more colleges whereas the number of non-Hispanic students who will apply to five or more college is only 23%.

Click here to view the most recent edition of this article, based on the QS BRICS University Content 2018.
The recently released QS University Content: BRICS sees 55 Russian universities feature among the best 250 universities in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). The BRICS ranking, published annually since 2013, celebrates leading institutions found in these five emerging economies.
Read on for an overview of the 10 top universities in Russia in 2016, including information on how each institution performed in the recent QS World University Content by Subject. Or click here to view the BRICS rankings table.
Lomonosov Moscow State University is consistently the highest ranked Russian university in both the BRICS ranking and the QS World University Content®, placing 7th in BRICS and 108th in the world. It's the largest of all Russian universities and one of the oldest, founded in 1755 and currently educating around 47,000 students, the majority of which are studying at graduate level. Located just outside the city center of Russian capital Moscow on Sparrow Hills, the university's main building is said to be the largest educational building in the world, and Lomonosov's library system is one of Russia's largest.
Featured 24 times out of a possible 42 in the QS World University Content by Subject 2016, Lomonosov Moscow State University achieves top 50 positions for linguistics, mathematics, and physics and astronomy, plus several more subjects in the top 100.
Ranked joint 20th in BRICS this year, Saint-Petersburg State University is the oldest of these top universities in Russia, originally established as the Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences in 1724 by Peter the Great. It now has around 30,000 students, including over 3,000 who come from outside Russia, making it one of the largest Russian universities. Saint-Petersburg State University is a member of the Coimbra Group, an association of deep-rooted, multidisciplinary and internationally respected European universities.
The university features 11 times in the rankings by subject this year, with a position in the top 50 for mineral and mining engineering, a top-100 spot for linguistics, and positions in the worldwide top 150 for mathematics, philosophy, modern languages and history.
Sharing 20th place with Saint-Petersburg State University in the BRICS ranking this year, Novosibirsk State University is also in the top 350 of the World University Content. One of the younger Russian universities, it was established in 1959 and is located in the educational and scientific center of Siberia, 'Akademgorodok' (Academic Town) – 20 kilometers from Novosibirsk, the largest city in the Asian section of Russia. It's also a smaller institution than other top universities in Russia listed here, with 6,000 students enrolled in 13 faculties.
Novosibirsk State University is currently featured as one of the world's best for five subjects – placing within the top 100 for physics and astronomy and the top 150 for mathematics.
Bauman Moscow State Technical University comes 38th in this year's BRICS ranking and is the oldest and largest of the technical Russian universities. It has 19 departments but specializes in various fields of engineering and applied sciences, and teaches more than 19,000 students at all study levels. Bauman Moscow State Technical University is also known for granting up to 3,000 students free room and board in its halls of residence each year, as well as offering well-regarded support for hearing-impaired students.
The university's technical focus is reflected in its performance in the subject rankings – it's ranked among the world's best for five subjects in 2016 (compared to just one in 2015). Its highest ranked subject is mechanical engineering, for which it's placed in the global top 200.
Heading back to Siberia for the next of these top universities in Russia, Tomsk State University comes 43rd in this year's BRICS. Founded in 1878 but not opened to students until 1888, it's the oldest institution in the vast 'Russian Asia' area. It now has around 17,000 students enrolled in 23 faculties, and offers 165 master's programs, including some English-taught courses. Tomsk State University was designated as a National Research University in 2010 and offers its students one of the most extensive library archives of all Russian universities.
In this year's subject rankings, Tomsk State University is ranked among the top 300 universities in the world for modern languages, and among the top 400 for physics and astronomy.
Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO University) is ranked 44th in the BRICS ranking this year and is consistently ranked within the top 400 universities in the world. Run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, MGIMO University was previously part of Moscow State University but became a separate institution in 1944. MGIMO specializes mainly in the humanities and, although it doesn't feature in the subject rankings, the university is particularly well known for preparing students for careers in international relations. The university also holds the distinction of appearing in the Guinness Book of World Records for offering courses in 56 languages, more than any other institution in the world.
Another of the top universities in Russia to be located in Moscow, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, colloquially known as PhysTech, is ranked joint 47th in the BRICS ranking this year. It was established in 1946 and is a leading institution for educating specialists in various fields of modern science and technology, and today has a fairly small student body of 5,600 students in 11 faculties. Eight of its professors are Nobel Prize winners.
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University) features among the world's best for five subjects this year – all of which are, unsurprisingly, science subjects. Its highest position comes for physics and astronomy, in the global top 150.
Ranked 50th in BRICS, the National Research Nuclear University, or "MEPhI" was founded in 1942 as the Moscow Mechanical Institute of Munitions and is now another of the most well-respected technical Russian universities. As the name suggests, it focuses on the nuclear industry, as well as physics, engineering and mathematics. However, the institute, which counts a number of Nobel Prize winners amongst its alumni, has also been increasingly working on improving its programs in the fields of economic sciences, humanities and foreign languages.
National Research Nuclear University is internationally ranked for three subjects this year – physics and astronomy (top 100), electrical and electronic engineering (top 300) and mathematics (in the worldwide top 400).
St. Petersburg Polytechnic University features at 61st in the BRICS ranking this year and is consistently ranked among the top 500 in the world university rankings. Located in St. Petersburg, it's a large university, with almost 31,000 students currently enrolled. It houses one of the country's most advanced research laboratories in hydro-aerodynamics, and has 20 research centers in total, which conduct research with prominent technology corporations such as Microsoft, Siemens and Apple.
St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is included three times in the latest subject rankings, ranked as one of the world's leading universities for electrical and electronic engineering (top 250), physics and astronomy (top 300) and computer science and information systems (top 500).
Concluding our list of the 10 top universities in Russia is the Higher School of Economics (HSE), which is also the youngest university in this list, founded as recently as 1992. It was awarded National Research University status in 2009 and specializes in the social sciences, mathematics, computer science and of course economics. Ranked 62nd in BRICS, its main campus can be found in Moscow, with three other campuses located in St. Petersburg, Nizhniy Novgorod and Perm.
The Higher School of Economics is internationally ranked for eight subjects this year, achieving positions as one of the world's top 150 universities for economics and econometrics, politics and sociology, with three more subjects in the top 200.

I am smiling because my father, Charles Keiger, painted this sign. He worked for Sam Caldwell after completing five years at the Cincinnati Art Academy in 1952. I don't know how old this sign is now, but as far as I know it's his last remaining wall in Cincinnati. He used to do all the signs at Crosley Field. Find a historical photo from the 1961 Reds-Yankees World Series, and those signs on the Crosley scoreboard and outfield wall are his.

About Ngakpa International
Ngakpa International (N.I.) celebrates and disseminates the Ngakpa tradition of Buddhist Yogis, the non-celibate, life-embracing path of Tibetan Buddhism's Nyingma lineage. Founded by Lama Pema Khandro Rinpoche, N.I. offers in-depth education in Chod, the Six Yogas and Dzogchen, Buddhism's most treasured path to cultivating clarity, presence and intrinsic wisdom.
Programs include classes, group retreats, phone and web-cast courses, and seminary for advanced study. Projects include a clinic, two residential urban centers, research to preserve the history and culture of Ngakpas and support of Ngakpa schools worldwide.
Ngakpas have specialized in natural medicine and N.I. continues this heritage by offering a holistic education in the practical science of health and healing through the Yogic Medicine Institute.
The Ngakpa tradition is uniquely suited to integrating Buddhist wisdom within day-to-day life, within epic moments of crisis and change, within personal relationships and within community because of its long history of non-celibate practitioners who did not renounce the world but instead changed their relationship to it. We believe the challenges raised by the integration of Buddhism with the West can best be answered by providing extensive, in-depth, accessible Vajrayana education. By offering an educational model that is based on both oral lineage and textual tradition, teachings with Pema Khandro Rinpoche and guest teachers, contemplative practice, personal study, debate and discussion, students are provided with ample resources to not only develop a firm grounding in Tibetan Buddhist principles and techniques, but to also understand their historical and philosophical context.
Friends and members of N.I. cultivate a sense of generosity and interconnection through supporting Ngakpa schools around the world and our other humanitarian efforts such as sponsorship of Himalayan Kids orphanage and providing meals to the homeless.


It occurred to me today, while I was getting some logistical stuff put into place for our eighth-annual Game of the Year feature, that I've been working on Silicon Sasquatch for nearly a decade. (Our ninth birthday is December 20th.) And some of you have even been reading it for just as long. Feels like we're old friends now, doesn't it?
The prep work I'm doing is still just that—work—but I'll take it. It's good to be back here, dusting off the proverbial cobwebs for myself and our team and reminding myself why I gave so much of my life to this little enterprise.
This opportunity to re-engage couldn't come at a better time for me, either. I've actually been feeling a little lost in life lately, which is strange because things are actually coming together pretty well for me. I'm learning how to be a real grown-up with a steady job who gets enough sleep most of the time, cooks pretty healthy food, and exercises with some frequency. I've even picked up some new hobbies to see where they take me—I made it through Inktober 2017 and churned out a new drawing for every day of the month. And I've been hammering away intermittently at a couple games, each one inching fitfully and jaggedly toward some sort of eventual release.
But writing? That's been tough.
I mean, writing itself isn't the issue. I've got a pretty solid routine going where I dump all the clutter out of my brain into an empty text window every day thanks to the good folks at 750 Words, and that's been super useful for keeping tabs on my mental health and general preoccupations.
Nah, I'm talking about the writing I did to express something—whether it's a critical analysis of a game I'm playing, a narrative I'm trying to string together, or anything else in-between. The sort of writing that inspired me to create a publication of my own—to build something collaboratively with a team of like-minded folks.
For me, Game of the Year is like a miniature vacation into a different career. Each year I wind up devoting about two months of my time to organizing, coordinating, delegating, and executing this massive feature with our small crew of five people (plus any of our fantastic guest contributors). I get to put on my editor's hat and make decisions, and at the end of it I get to put my name on a massive, collaborative project that provides value to our readers.
When I graduated from college, I'd resolved I'd follow the path of a writer/editor. I wanted to be one of the people who'd fight hard to introduce high-quality, well-researched journalistic product to the broader games conversation. I never made any money at it, but from time to time, I've been able to use this platform as a means to put a little more effort into realizing that goal.
I'm 31 years old now, and I still care about the work we try to do here. I care about developing an even better set of skills as a writer; I'm driven to understand how games work and why they matter so I can help contribute to moving this conversation forward about the medium. I want to do my part to educate readers and to highlight those voices that push things in a better direction. The mission of this site still resonates for me, even if I have to balance it against the busy life of a person who is, ostensibly, an adult.
Game of the Year 2017 kicks off on Monday, December 18th. It'll run through Friday, January 5th. I hope you'll tune in this year and let us know what you think.
But more importantly, if any of this resonates with you, I hope you'll take a little time to ask yourself what matters to you and what you can do right now to pursue it.


Tearaway remains the main focus, but the developer is currently making progress on an unannounced project.
"We're working on a second project right now, and that's very much in an R&D phase," confirmed Media Molecule's Mark Healy in an interview with Eurogamer.
"The focus is Tearaway, but Media Molecule is a lot more than 15 people," added co-founder Alex Evans.

Advanced Airbrush Art: How to Secrets From the Masters
Stock Number: B02962
A series of step-by step painting sequences done with a group of the country?s best and best-known airbrush artists. Each sequence moves from the concept to the planning, layout, and execution. The discussion and captions cover each artist?s personal choice for tools, paints, and materials. Subjects include everything from life-like pin-ups to abstract flags painted on custom motorcycles, hot rods, and shirts. Like a video done with still photography, this new book from Wolfgang Publications is made up entirely of photo sequences that illustrate each small step in the creation of an airbrushed masterpiece. Watch as well-known masters like Vince Goodeve, Chris Cruz, Steve Wizard and Nick Pastura start with a sketch and end with a NASCAR helmet or motorcycle tank covered with graphics, murals, pinups or all of the above. Interviews explain each artist's preference for paint and equipment, and secrets learned over decades of painting. Projects include a chrome eagle surrounded by reality flames, a series of murals, pinups, skulls and a variety of graphic designs. It's hard to have a how-to-paint book without plenty of color images, and this one uses nearly 500 all-color images spread across 144 pages to explain each step - from the initial layout to the application of paint - necessary for the creation of a masterful airbrushed image. This is a great book for anyone who takes their airbrushing seriously and wants to learn more.

The Fairy Rings @ ExxonMobil Greenpoint Petroleum Remediation Project Site is a land art installation and social sculpture that imagines the future by working together to find solutions. The site at 400 Kingsland Avenue in Brooklyn, New York becomes the stage for this investigation. Looking at the dynamic relationships of how large corporations, community groups, and a Superfund site navigates using art and science to incite imagination and faith to create a story of our collective present and future. Teaming up Jason Sinopoli, a local resident and long time advocate of mycoremediation, the project borrows and adapts methods from the authority of mycoremediation and mycologist expert, Paul Stamets. Mycoremediation uses fungi to break down long-chained toxins into simpler less toxic chemicals at the molecular level in polluted environments. Recognizing that the land on the site has already been capped of pollutants and will not be publicly accessible, the installation becomes a relationship of trust/cooperation and the mycoremediation acts as a metaphor of how technology, nature, and humans can transform, adapt, and innovate.
In European folklore, it was believed that the gathering and dancing of fairies and elves created fairy rings, a circular discoloration or growth of mushrooms on a grass lawn. The belief transformed these spaces from reality into fantasy. Today, we now know fairy rings are a natural phenomenon created by fungi. The Fairy Rings will encourage the interaction of reality and fantasy by the growth of these rings.
The installation is located at the northeastern corner of the property around ground water monitoring wells used to monitor the progress of the cleanup of the oil plume caused by over 100 years of operations by the oil and gas industry in Greenpoint, and which went undetected until 1978. Nine circles of a mushroom mycelium mound created 5-19 feet in diameter wraps around four monitoring well with an maze like entrance that points the viewer to locate them in the environment from: the Manhattan skyline, Newtown Creek, Long Island City, and the remaining oil tankers in the distance.
For The Fairy Rings, the oyster mushrooms, Pleurotus djamor complex and Pleurotus osteatus, – mixed with straw and enclosed in burlap bags- is used as a substitute to the other species known to create fairy rings naturally. In The Fairy Rings mycoremediation methods are referenced using fungi to decompose the pollutants and shape a new ecology. Oyster mushrooms are especially apt at two major functions: to neutralize hydrocarbons present in petroleum products such as oil, pesticides and herbicides and as a hyperacummulator to absorb heavy metals, especially mercury, these are common toxins often found in landfills and urban environments. The sculptural form is an alliance between the material structure and nature. Nature participates through the ongoing process of sprouting mushrooms, mycelium decomposing and holding the potential of cleansing the land of toxins for the next era.
In our increasingly mediated world, as the majority of people on the planet now live in urban environments, our relationship with nature has evolved through the use of technology to bridge the disconnection. The Fairy Rings reference the innovations being made in biological technology to recapture our connection to nature. Fungi functions as a mediator in the ecological circuit: fungi, animals/insects, bacteria, plants, animals/insects, and fungi. With The Fairy Rings, another role for fungi is to act as the interface to help us visualize a better symbiotic relationship between humans/nature and large corporations/community groups to work together.
In collaboration with Newtown Creek Alliance and ExxonMobil.


Digital business accounts for nearly a quarter of the world's economy today, and industry analysts expect that percentage to keep growing. But too many organizations still lack a complete, integrated view of the digital customer experience they're delivering.
That's because IT teams and their business-side colleagues typically use separate approaches and tools to view, monitor, and measure the quality of that experience. As a result, nobody sees the big picture. That gulf in understanding hampers a company's ability to optimize its digital outcomes and, ultimately, impedes its digital-business success.
This exclusive report describes how to close the customer-experience gap through digital-performance management (DPM). It describes the benefits and potential challenges of this important emerging approach, and offers expert insights on getting started with DPM today.

Andy Murray is into the final of the Australian Open on Sunday, a feat which has got many tennis fans excited about the possibilities of him winning a third grand slam title. However, few people get as excited about watching tennis on the television as this golden retriever.

You might have heard the term Side Project Marketing (or Engineering as Marketing) before, but never gave it too much attention. Today, I will explain to you why you should not give up on your ideas and why you should turn them into side projects.
As a bonus I will share our side project idea – We created a Side Project Directory where we gathered 100 + (feasible) side project ideas, and we couldn't be more happy to share it!
Why are side projects important?
Side projects are basically experiments started with a certain goal. Some of them are created to launch a product or a service or to find and convert leads, others are started to eventually create a full-time business, but, in the end, all of them serve one main purpose – learning.
When companies started using sideline tools as an addition to their marketing plans, a new hybrid was created – side project marketing. It is a combination of side projects, content marketing, and advertising. Basically, companies are creating tools related to their core business in order to provide more value to their customers. They are building something that provides lots of valuable content, with the end goal of achieving valuable customers. Building something of value that solves a small problem of their target audience in order to upsell related product/service later-on.
At The Growth Revolution, we truly believe in the power of execution (and we believe we excel at that). We think that coming up with ideas is the easy part, but carrying out a project is a challenge. No one can top us at project execution – that's what we do best – and we are proud of it. This is why we created our Side Project Database.
Everyone can come up with ideas, right? But the ideas we are sharing are already validated (meaning that we know that there is demand) and we know that we are able to professionally execute them in a reasonable amount of time. We'd love you to browse our directory and feel free to share your thoughts, or even add your own side project ideas.
Another reason why we decided to share our ideas is the feedback. Even though our ideas are already validated, it doesn't mean that they cannot be improved. Thus, we want to share them with like-minded people so we can, in the end, come up with a better version of our ideas.
If you plan on creating your own side project, you should do the same! By sharing your idea with as many people as possible, you can get feedback early on to prevent wasting time on projects that won't succeed.
Coming up with feasible ideas can be more difficult than you think – but not impossible.
We thought about motivation. First of all, it is very important to find your reason for starting a side project. It can be anything from improving your skills to creating a new product or even a new company. Usually, our motivation is helping others improve their services – what is yours?
We scratched our own itch. Yes, we also have problems, that's why we decided to first look at our needs and see what we could do in order to solve our problems. That's why we came up with the Side Project Generator, in order to make it easier for us to share our ideas with the world.
We observed others. The best way to come up with a valuable idea is to observe others and find out what their pains and needs are. When you already know what problems need solving, you are one step closer to creating something meaningful.
We shared our ideas. As weird as this might sound, this is actually one of the first things you should do when you have an idea that you want to turn into a side project. By sharing your idea with as many people as possible, you can get feedback early on to prevent wasting time on an idea that won't bring you any outcome.
There is a ton of potential out there for side project marketing. In this world where competition is growing more and more, creating a side project can be the winning formula.
Our Side Project Directory is here to help you start your own side project and so are we. So why not take a look at our ideas and see what suits your business best.
We are always open to new ideas, so, if you have another idea then why hide it? You can't always do it on your own, can you?

Hoisting C Structures Into Clay In Device Drivers
Lianne Lairmore, Bucknell UniversityFollow
This project addresses the unreliability of operating system code, in particular in device drivers. Device driver software is the interface between the operating system and the device's hardware. Device drivers are written in low level code, making them difficult to understand. Almost all device drivers are written in the programming language C which allows for direct manipulation of memory. Due to the complexity of manual movement of data, most mistakes in operating systems occur in device driver code. The programming language Clay can be used to check device driver code at compile-time. Clay does most of its error checking statically to minimize the overhead of run-time checks in order to stay competitive with C's performance time. The Clay compiler can detect a lot more types of errors than the C compiler like buffer overflows, kernel stack overflows, NULL pointer uses, freed memory uses, and aliasing errors. Clay code that successfully compiles is guaranteed to run without failing on errors that Clay can detect. Even though C is unsafe, currently most device drivers are written in it. Not only are device drivers the part of the operating system most likely to fail, they also are the largest part of the operating system. As rewriting every existing device driver in Clay by hand would be impractical, this thesis is part of a project to automate translation of existing drivers from C to Clay. Although C and Clay both allow low level manipulation of data and fill the same niche for developing low level code, they have different syntax, type systems, and paradigms. This paper explores how C can be translated into Clay. It identifies what part of C device drivers cannot be translated into Clay and what information drivers in Clay will require that C cannot provide. It also explains how these translations will occur by explaining how each C structure is represented in the compiler and how these structures are changed to represent a Clay structure.
