That was a great course I was love it great & amazing Course .!
This course provided the instruction I was looking for.
Nuts and Bolts of Travel Preparation
In this module, we'll go over the basics of preparation, planning, documentation, and insurance. Thinking ahead about all of the elements you'll need is an essential part of the process.

Hi everyone, welcome to this lecture on project planning and working in the field.
I'm Anna Kalbarcyk, and I'll be teaching this lecture.
In the first section we'll be talking about project planning specifically, and
the aim of the lecture is to serve as a guide during the project planning phase to
help you preemptively avoid a number of common pitfalls associated with this
phase of the international experience.
The key to a positive project planning experience is early preparation and
You want to be as clear as possible about as many things as possible.
So as I show on this slide there are a number of things you want to talk about
with your primary investigators and your supervisors early.
The bulk of this lecture will be about the project, scope of work,
practicum requirements, and aligning expectations with your supervisor.
But I do want to touch quickly on these issues of housing and travel, because
students often have concerns about safety, cost, and the location of their housing.
And this is sometimes something you might not think about or something that, yeah,
I might not think about as early as they should.
So you want to be very clear about how much you're willing and
able to spend on housing and what the options are nearby your work.
Thinking about safety considerations which vary greatly from country to country and
work site to work site.
So make sure that you have those housing conversations early on, and then also
conversations about travel, when you can go, is there any flexibility in that,
how much travel you're going to have to do on the ground, and
how that's going to be arranged.
So I talk about clarity and being as clear as possible, and
I have a funny anecdote to go with this.
I once had a student who was working with a colleague who
has a number of projects in Puno, Peru.
And this student was very, very excited to go and had told all of his friends that
she was going to Puno and was starting to prepare her trip.
And about a month before she was due to leave,
she started talking with her faculty member about her trip to India, and I say,
cool, that's interesting, when are you going to India?
And she looks at him with concern like, it's for your project I'm going to Pune.
And he's like, no, you're going to Puno, Peru not Pune, India.
So while this isn't likely to happen to you especially
now that I've told you this tale.
You want to make sure that you're clear Isabelle about as much as you can be so
that you don't have to rearrange your tickets, retell all your friends and
family that you're not in fact going to India like you thought but rather Peru,
which is on a completely different continent.
So you want to think about negotiating your scope of work very early on.
A scope of work is a formal agreement document that specifies
all of the criteria of a contract between a student and the faculty member or
a supervisor.
It very clearly documents your project requirements, major milestones,
deliverables which we'll talk more about later, and products, documents, reports,
that are expected to be provided by you, the student.
So when you're negotiating the scope of work,
there are a number of things you should consider.
What was in the position description that initially attracted you to
this particular project, if there even was one.
Sometimes projects are just word of mouth.
If there were things in that original position description that you're
interested in, make sure that you talk early on about those key things.
Because oftentimes, faculty members or supervisors will put a whole slew of
possible things that you could work on in the project, but might not necessarily
need the thing that you picked out that you're interested in right now.
So make sure that you're very clear about what it was that interested
you in this project.
Think about what changes might have occurred in the project if any,
and this can really span the gamut of types of changes.
As there have been IRB delays has a major natural disaster hit the country
where you're going to be.
Has funding been delayed?
Any of these things could affect your scope of work.
So if you have honest conversations early on about where your project is,
that will really help you as you're negotiating what you're going to do.
Think very carefully about your program, and practicum requirements, and
if you're using this international experience to fulfill those requirements.
Make sure that you have clearly outlined that with your supervisor or
your faculty member so that they know what it is that they need to do, and
you need to do, in order to fulfill that requirement.
Be very honest about what you actually have time to do.
I think that all of us as humans have the capacity to end up overpromising and
underdelivering, but you really want to do the opposite.
You want to underpromise and overdeliver, so
be careful when you're promising a faculty member, okay, I'll do the data analysis,
I will write two manuscripts for you, and I'll write you three grants.
Be mindful of all of the requirements that you have right now in your program or
coursework, any other agreements you've made with faculty to do work,
either thinking even about what you have to do in your personal life.
So just be very aware of what you have time to do.
And then, also think about what you want to get out of the experience,
what it is that you want to put on your resume, and
what it is that you want to be able to sell yourself as having a set of skills.
But while you're doing that, also be very mindful about the skills and tools
that you can bring so that you're having a collegial conversation with people.
And it doesn't seem like you're expecting the faculty member to give
you everything out of this experience.
And that you also have something to add to their project and to the local colleagues.
So again, this should be a collegial and non-combative conversation and
should quite honestly incorporate input from the local partners.
You want to make sure that local partners not only know that you're coming,
which is definitely happened.
I've had people go overseas and
local partners didn't even know that students were expected.
But you want to make sure that local partners have a say in your workload,
especially if they're want to be serving as your supervisors so
that they know what you're going to be getting involved with and are prepared for
you by the time you arrive.
So all of that being said, you want to get your scope of work in writing and
the purpose of this is to, one, inform
your program of what you're going to be doing which you often have to do anyway.
Two, it holds you accountable to what you and your faculty or
supervisor have agreed upon.
And third, and maybe most importantly, it holds your faculty or supervisor
accountable for what they need to do to prepare for you to be able to do the work.
Part of this negotiation process and this scope of work is your deliverables.
Thinking about what it is you're expected to provide throughout your experience and
after your experience.
So some examples of deliverables could be reports, manuscripts, behavioral change
campaign, completing a data analysis, developing a curriculum, or even just
completing a certain number of training sessions on the topic you're working on.
So all of these things could be deliverables and
they might be things that you specifically want to gain experience in.
But make sure that you talk early on about what it is that you
actually like to see as an output for your experience.
Now, I think manuscripts means a little bit more about conversation here.
Because this is something that a lot of students get involve in.
But it's also something that a bit touchy and can have politics surrounding it, so
when you start negotiating conversations around writing up manuscripts, be
very clear and honest, but also try to get that honesty out of your faculty member.
So first think about whether you would like to produce a manuscript or
whether you're even expected to produce one by the people you're working with.
And then you're going to want to engage in conversations about authorship.
So start thinking about it early, and
ask questions about it if you have any aims to be an author.
Oftentimes, faculty members will have templates or sort of matrices
that can help determine who's going to be an author based on how much work you do.
But remember that many of these relationships with local partners, there
are a number of political things going on that you might not even be aware of.
So authorship isn't always as easy as, I've done this amount of work,
therefore, I'm getting this position in authorship.
So never assume anything about authorship and
definitely ask about it if it's something that you're interested in.
And in thinking about partners,
you want to try to connect with your partners as early as possible.
As mentioned in the assigned reading by Uma and Demaris, the missing factor in
many program designs which sends students overseas is feedback from local partners.
And what I want to stress here is that, that feedback can start very, very early.
Even from the student selection portion, but
also in determining your scope of work and what you're project is going to look like.
So try to be involved in calls and emails prior to your travel.
Watch and mirror levels of formality.
So remember that partners are often much more formal than we might be and
unless you're given permission to call someone by their first name.
You really want to make sure that you're addressing them the way that they're
either signing in their emails or the way that your colleagues are.
So be very careful about formality because it's a sign of respect.
And then, rely on your partners for more than just logistics.
While most partners are really happy to help you arrange travel from the airport
to where you're going to be staying or
even from where you're staying to where you're working.
For the most part, their primary job isn't to just service you in a logistics level
and you're going to be working with them on the project.
So the more that you can talk to them about the type of work that they're
going to be doing, any backgrounds that they have,
anything that they would like from you.
That's a really nice question to ask, what can you do for them.
And then even start talking about aspects of the culture that you might not be
I think that these are conversations that are important and
show that you are invested in working with these people and
in this community more than just having people arrange your travel for you.
You may want to be weary if you are not invited to speak with local partners
anytime during the planning phase.
Often times, connecting with local partners during the interview phase or
during the planning phase, is a good way to gauge if
you feel that you are a good match for our project or programs.
So not just if the supervisor feels you're a good match but whether or not,
you feel like you're going to be able to work in this community,
work in this office with the people that you're connecting with.
There could be barriers you haven't even thought of like language barriers.
Is there something that you would be able to tackle in the next couple of months
with a few lessons on Rosetta Stone or Duolingo,
or is it something much more deep than that you actually can't get resources for?
And think about what would happen if you can't effectively communicate with
your partners.
So the earlier you connect with partners,
really the better off you'll be throughout the entire project dates.
You want to be as flexible as possible.
During the project planning phase and really every phase of your experience.
So I know that I just encouraged you to negotiate a scope of work and
even get it in writing, which kind of sounds a bit inflexible.
But that whole process is really meant to serve as a protection measure for
your experience, and to ensure that everyone has discussed
what your experience should be, and will most likely be.
But in global health, things can change quickly.
Funding can disappear.
IRBs can hold up a project.
A country may experience a natural disaster or
dissolve into revolution while you're right there.
So these are the things to think about and make sure that you are flexible and
realize that projects can change.
And so even though many of you are on a timeline for
degree programs or for practicums, you have to get certain things done.
Remember that there are many external factors which affect the progress
of a project, not all of which are controllable.
And also try to remember that as frustrated as you might be in this
process and you have your deadlines.
So do the partners who might have scheduled an entire month or
two around data collection for this project that no longer happen.
So as your faculty member who might have other projects waiting in the wings, but
this one is the one they could handle right now.
So you're not the only person who's going to be frustrated with an IRB hold up or
a funding change or whatever the case may be.
So, you try to keep that in mind and have some perspective.
And then the other point about flexibility is that it can often open up
doors for you.
And you can work on whatever is needed rather than just what you are thinking
about working on.
And that can give you skills you never really thought that you would have
an opportunity to acquire, even if it's not your first choice.
Communication is one of the first and most important places where student and
supervisor relationships get in trouble.
And this can happen very early on in the planning process.
And one of the best places to fix this is as early as possible.
Communicate early and often.
And gauge whether your faculty is on the same
page as you in terms of communication, and what your expectations are and
what they're actually willing to do in terms of communication.
If your supervisor isn't communicating with you early on,
it's not likely to get better when you're overseas.
You're out of sight, out of mind, it's only harder, so
determine early on what you are and not comfortable with.
Sometimes the most important part of an overseas experience is
having a good relationship with the people for whom you are working.
Not necessarily working on the most interesting project
in the most interesting place.
The people can make all of the difference and the best way to ensure that you have
a good relationship with people is good communication.
Establish a plan for when you're overseas and you can do this in your scope of
work or it can be something that's separate, so that you actually have
something agreed upon with your supervisor for when you're traveling.
Think about how you're going to communicate and how often.
And then, what's needed versus what's wanted.
So some of us may want to have an email with our faculty member only once a month.
But that might not be what's actually needed.
You might need to have a little bit more communication than that and vice versa.
You may need to also renegotiate this communication plan once you're on
the ground but that will be a lot easier if you've already laid down a framework
for what communication is supposed to look like and what your expectations are.
And then finally you want to determine exactly who your supervisor is going to
be and this can often be confusing when you're interviewing with a faculty
member here but working overseas with a different set of partners.
So think about who's going to be the person you're reporting to,
who is it that you're turning your reports into, are these different people for
a different projects.
Sometimes, this can be really unclear but
the earlier you establish your supervisor, the better it's going to be.
In part in parcel with all of what I've talked about here, issues around
communication, issues around housing, and travelling, and project planning.
The most important thing is to align your expectations, talk as early and often
about what it is that you're expecting out of where you're going to be staying,
where you want to work, what the work situation is going to look like,
what your deliverables are going to be.
And make sure that they actually align with the faculty members, because if your
expectations aren't aligned, you're just working for two different goals.
And you're not going to come together to make sure that this experience is
positive for you, but also positive for the project that you're working on.
In the next section, we're going to talk more about what it actually looks like to
work in the field, and what some of those challenges are.

Volunteer Spotlight: Roberto Pinauin, Back to Basics
Roberto Pinauin is what you would call an expert in his field, having spent almost two decades in NGO work. But with his new role as a LoveYourself life coach, he experiences a kick that only going back to basics can bring. "It sounds almost vain and messianic, but that's what people are looking for when they get into socially oriented activities – having that one-on-one contact. Even if you only get to experience that once a week, you know you're doing something concrete."
By Jean Natividad
It was a day to stay vivid in Robert's memory until many years later. "I was working in South Africa and visiting a hospice. This was palliative care for people who were about to die, at the time when South Africa was the epicenter of the HIV epidemic," he recalls. "I touched a woman who was in the bed. She then jerked away from me and started crying."
The woman had not had any physical contact with a non-health worker in so long – Robert soon found out – because of the stigma of HIV and AIDS back then that is still very much prevalent today. But the story doesn't end there. He continues, "I left the room and had a meeting with the management of the hospice. A few moments later, I was planning to see her again, but I was told she had already died."
That moment, so far, has been the most challenging for Robert, a development work expert with extensive experience both here and abroad with organizations like Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) and IBON International. "Why was it difficult? Because of the enormity of the problem, how helpless you are sometimes, how quickly things change, and how there's just not enough to do. No matter how hard you try, people will die," he explains.
Years after his eight-year stay in South Africa concluded in 2008, Robert is once again doing HIV work, this time with LoveYourself. The LoveYourself life coach shares, "When I saw how the organization was being managed, I was really impressed. There are many challenges in volunteer management that I see are being addressed by the approaches of LoveYourself."
With his knowledge of and experience in the field, Robert has a lot to bring to the table, but at the same time, it's as if he's starting over.
Robert's HIV work comes full circle with his role as life coach for people living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolled in LoveYourself's new HIV treatment program. It's a strategy he finds fascinating: "I think it's an excellent idea as it rounds up the intervention. The intervention was already excellent in the sense that it had multiplicity of approaches, but this one takes on where the previous program leaves, and hopefully that will also give us more learnings."
In the previous program, only counselors were tasked to handle clients, and the goal was to ensure newly diagnosed PLHIVs undergo treatment. Now, LoveYourself life coaches are available as guides for PLHIV clients to not just get treatment, but to come to terms with their status and face the world with optimism. Following an experimental framework, clients and their life coaches set goals and journey together in a span of six months.
Robert explains, "The HIV treatment approach in the Philippines is very biomedical. The reasons for lack of access to and dropping out of treatment are usually psychosocial. So what we're trying to do is address the psychosocial aspects. While counseling is more about treatment, life coaching is about looking at the individual closely to figure out how to help him." It is a role that, according to him, calls for some introspection.
No doubt, this new feather to Robert's cap comes with crucial responsibility. He is one of the handpicked few to pilot this new approach. "My first ever client tested positive for HIV, and in a way, I felt that's how it's supposed to be. It jolts you that this is what the work is about. It tests if you have what it takes to keep doing it," he says.
Learning and its rewards
Even as an authority in NGO work, Robert never claims to know everything. It is, after all, when you start thinking you know everything that the learning process stops. He shares, "With LoveYourself, I'm learning a lot in terms of the reality and nitty-gritty of groundwork, of approaching a specific social problem and knowing how to solve it. It's fulfilling because of that one-on-one connection and the learning experience."
And even with all the development work he has done, Robert admits to craving the kick that comes with being on the ground. He confesses, "Development work can be thankless in the sense that if you pursue something in a multilateral organization at the international level, you would be paid lots and lots of money but won't get the psychological returns you're looking for because you will still be talking to the technocrats and administrators."
Volunteering with LoveYourself is Robert's way of getting that kick, of "getting in touch with the people whom you just talk about in the distant centers where policies are being decided on, those who are actually marginalized, miseducated, and victimized."
This sense of fulfillment does not come as a surprise since working closely with clients means seeing the immediate results. Robert recounts an example: "Making progress with my 19-year-old client is my most rewarding experience yet in LoveYourself. With our age difference (Robert is 46) and my frequent travels for work, I asked if he preferred to be assigned to somebody else instead, but he responded, 'No need, I'm already happy with you, and I like your coaching style.'
He continues, "Because LoveYourself life coaching is still in the experimental stages, you sometimes wonder if it's blind leading the blind. But when you get feedback that's positive, you think, 'Maybe I'm doing something right."
Robert finds more boost for his HIV work as he observes LoveYourself from an expert's point of view. "Involving the community is a very good strength of LoveYourself. With this approach, you are both the actor and the beneficiary." With this he means the integration of HIV education into the natural activities of males who have sex with males (MSMs). "That's very interesting because MSMs don't realize that, all of a sudden, they're already talking about HIV – and all because they attended a party."
He goes on to add, "The volunteer management of LoveYourself is also very interesting. I've never seen so many volunteers so committed. LoveYourself has been successful in eliciting that level of commitment. The level of operations is so vast, but the staffing is small, and volunteers really do the work. To be that successful, you must be doing something right."
On a broader scale, Robert believes the country has an advantage in curbing the HIV epidemic. "It's very frustrating because the previous approaches of the government – the Department of Health (DOH) in particular during the time of Juan Flavier – was very aggressive, so the HIV epidemic shouldn't have happened.
"On the other hand, because it's happening now, there have been a lot of advances in treatment that makes certain aspects of the HIV epidemic easier to manage. Also, there's now that acceptance that PLHIV can live long and fulfilling lives. That's the difference," he explains.
To conclude, Robert shares his most sincere opinion as both an expert and a volunteer: "I think the Philippines is very good in community and development work. The world will learn from us in this, and we can be a model for others to follow."

Colorado residents who have committed criminal acts may, under some circumstances, be able to seal their criminal records under Colorado law C.R.S. 24-72-702. The process is a long and complicated one, but it could be done. However, the process is more challenging for teachers, primarily because they are entrusted with the tremendous responsibility of working with kids. A lot of teachers believe that if they have committed a criminal offense in the past but then have it sealed, then no one will find out about it. That is not the case, and that is for two reasons.
One, under C.R.S. 24-72-702(1)(f)(III), the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) may require a licensed teacher or an applicant for a teaching license who files a petition to seal a criminal record to notify the CDE of a pending petition to seal. Two, Colorado criminal justice agencies - such as local police departments and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation - are still authorized under the law to access sealed records. Oddly enough, the CDE itself is considered to be a criminal justice agency, so it can access your records.
None of this is to say that you shouldn't seal your records or that you're not going to be able to hold on to a teaching license if you have a criminal record. However, you must approach the situation cautiously and meet with someone who can properly advise you.

Locked down and not the migrant worker
It seems that time has come to a standstill; there is no going forward, no moving back. We are stuck inside a bubble. The entire country is stuck in this bubble impervious to the passage of time, a predicament that doesn't distinguish between a billionaire and a daily wage earner- the migrant worker most of the time. Is there a way out of it? Doubts loom large. The final cost can be heavy with a premonition of becoming heavier and even unbearable for many.
So far, the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed more than 30,000 lives across the world and continues to proceed on a steady growth path. The number of total cases reported in India has crossed the 3,000 marks, with 77 deaths reported.
While the predictions of a rapid increase in the overall figures are alarming, equally concerning is the scene that greets us almost every morning of thousands stranded on the roads – desperately trying to find their way back towards their respective homes.
The alarming figures
According to the 2011 census report, 45.36 crore Indians, that almost 37 percent of the country's total population, are migrant workers – forced by their livelihood to live in a place that is different from their source. A large number of migrants around the country work as daily wage labourers in different states. An overall 60 million of those are settled in metropolises like Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. Uttar Pradesh – the state that records the highest population in the country, contributes to 33 percent of the overall figures, while another 15 percent hail from Bihar.
With the Prime Minister announcing a nationwide lockdown on the night of 24th March, the country's migrant laborers were left with less than four hours to get their things together and go for their respective homes. As a result, chaos reigned, with the individual states running against time to ensure the safekeeping of their valuable human resources.
A report published in South China Morning Post back in January reveals that approximately five million people fled Wuhan province in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic before the announcement of a lockdown. This huge population later emerged as the primary infection source in other Chinese cities. Making the worst fears a reality, the outbreak coincided with the Lunar New Year holidays in China, during which the people of China made close to 3 billion trips around the world, thus allowing the virus to spread to other European countries.
If the announcement made in India was meant to stop people from traveling to other states, the state should have taken steps to ensure the means of survival for those 60 million migrant workers across India. Instead, the scene that greeted us was not something that any country fighting a deadly disease would want to see.
The sudden job loss
The sudden lockdown meant that productivity came to an abrupt halt. A huge chunk of the migrant population is employed in the construction sector as helpers and masons because of the requirement of the large labor force in the industry. The migrant workers also find employment in brick factories, textile industries, restaurants, hospitality industries, as well as in households as maids and drivers.
Food and shelter, the migrant workers had none
With most of these industries being shut down as a result of the recent move by the government, those daily wage earners haven't been able to get salaries. Their miseries compounded when unsympathetic landlords decided to evict those tenants who failed to pay their rents.
The walk towards salvation
What followed over the next few days was something extraordinary and unprecedented. Thousands of workers started walking towards home as they were left with no alternatives due to the sudden lockdown. A report published in The Telegraph stated that at least three lakh migrant workers were left stranded in Noida and Ghaziabad as they were denied entry by Uttar Pradesh police. Among those stranded were women and children who had no other option but to sit down in the middle of the road, left with no food or money.
The Yogi Adityanath government had earlier arranged for 1,000 buses to carry their people home, but it wasn't going to be enough. How could it be? The police in Kanpur's Naubasta area stopped a bus for interrogation on the night of 29th March. Inside the bus were 120 persons with another 100 seated on the roof. The bus had a carrying capacity of 40-50. They had all traveled 100s of kilometers to reach their homes in Uttar Pradesh.
This, in fact, wasn't an isolated scene as many of such suffocating moments were caught on the cameras of journalists. These were then sent to their respective media houses where some of India's topmost anchors analyzed and dissected them – some bashing those poor souls for their insensitivity towards the Prime Minister's directives and some focusing on the actual issue.
Saving faces
Days before the Union Home Minister asked the state governments to ensure steps to prevent mass exodus, states such as Kerala had thought about opening relief camps to give shelter to those in need. The Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced on 27th March that the state had opened 4,603 relief camps to house 1,44,145 migrant laborers.
The Delhi government announced that it would be converting schools in the Ghazipur area into night shelters in an attempt to provide shelters to those walking their way back home. The chief minister Arvind Kejriwal issued a message to the migrant workers asking them not to leave the capital and assured them that the state had ensured sufficient arrangements for them.
The tip of an iceberg
Countries such as Italy, Spain, and the United States have seen a surge in the number of overall casualties over the last few weeks, with Italy being the worst hit, reporting over 14,000 deaths. Attempts are no doubt being made to prevent a repetition of what has happened in Italy and Spain. But questions remain whether we have done enough. In a country as densely populated as India, with its diverse demography, the effects of such a pandemic can be devastating. The infrastructures available are not adequate to cope with a viral disease, which spreads with the rapidity of the proverbial wildfire and is at present without an antidote. The economies are going to suffer, and job losses can be on the rise.
The least that we the ordinary people can do is to be empathetic towards others, develop scientific awareness of the disease and our daily lives, be conscious and responsible citizens of our country and maintain a positive mindset for things to get better in the near future.

Student Relief Fund @ SIT (COVID-19)
Admissions AY2022
Singapore Institute of Technology was started in 2009 to provide more opportunities for polytechnic graduates to further their education. Here are the 10 key moments in our journey.
When it all started
To provide more education pathways for Singaporeans
Recognising the need to provide more education pathways for Singaporeans to obtain a university education, the Singapore Institute of Applied Technology (SIAT) was incorporated in September 2009.
It served as an expansion of the Polytechnic–Foreign Specialised Institute (Poly–FSI) initiative to provide more opportunities for polytechnic graduates to obtain recognised degrees.
SIAT was renamed to Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) in that same year to offer foreign university degrees locally from reputable overseas universities.
Overseas universities partnerships
Global learning, local teaching. Best of both worlds.
SIT brought together some of the most reputable overseas universities in the fields of Engineering, Game Design and Hospitality.
These programmes were taught locally with a global outlook. The Overseas Immersion Programme (OIP) was also introduced as a component of the programmes, so that students would be able to experience onsite learning at the overseas campuses as well.
Our unique relationship with the overseas university partners allowed us to build the foundation to offer specialised, industry-relevant degrees.
Inaugural Open House
Bringing the world to you
The SIT website went live after barely a year of planning for the inaugural Open House in 2012. With 10 degree programmes from five overseas university partners, we finally opened our doors to the public.
Held at the headquarters of Ministry of Education, the momentous event was aptly branded 'Bringing the World to You'. We matriculated our first 500 students after the first admissions exercise, which yielded close to 2,000 applications.
In a move away from traditional grade-based admissions, we held interviews in consideration of each applicant's passion, interests and non-academic achievements to identify those that will do well in their chosen fields.
Building skills rather than degrees
Once a SITizen, always a SITizen
On 1 February 2013, Professor Tan Thiam Soon was appointed President of SIT, taking over the reins from founding President, Professor Tan Chin Tiong. It was then that we crystallised our vision and mission, and positioned ourselves as a leader in innovative education by integrating learning, industry and community.
Prof Tan instilled a mindset within SIT that university education is a lifelong learning journey. It is about building skills, rather than just the pursuit of a paper qualification. There is a saying within SIT, "Once a SITizen, always a SITizen," which adequately describes our students' lifelong learning journey, from the time they enter SIT.
During this period, key initiatives, such as the establishment of the Professional Officers division and the signature Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP), were also introduced.
Becoming Singapore's fifth autonomous university
Launching our own degrees
SIT was gazetted as Singapore's fifth Autonomous University on 28 March 2014, through an act passed in Parliament. This recognition was an important step towards redefining Singapore's higher education landscape.
It also gave us the impetus to launch three degrees offered by SIT, the first of many to come, within the next few years. From being a "start-up" university in 2014, we now offer over 40 degree programmes.
Establishing the SIT-DNA
Able to learn, unlearn, and relearn
Students embody the values of the institution they belong to. We wanted to nurture and imbue our undergraduates with traits to help them cement their identity as a student of SIT. Coined in March 2014, the SIT-DNA was aptly named, with its four traits likened to those of an individual's DNA.
The first trait, 'Thinking Tinkerers', stemmed from the way that students are trained - to learn by doing, while being able to think on their feet.
The second trait, 'Able to Learn, Unlearn and Relearn', hinges on the premise that whatever students learn today may become obsolete by the time they graduate. Therefore, it is important to be able to accept that learning occurs throughout one's lifetime.
Third, 'Catalysts for Transformation' emphasises the need for students to effect change in their workplace by creating value through innovation, not to be afraid to take calculated risks and be open to learning through failure.
Finally, being 'Grounded in the Community' serves to remind students that their skills and knowledge should be shared generously with the community they live and work within. Giving back to others yields more joy than one can imagine.
The SIT-DNA continues to serve as a guiding principle in steering our curriculum design, pedagogical approach, student interaction and culture.
IWSP – Disrupting the traditional student work attachment
Comprehensive real-world applications
Our Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) has disrupted the traditional internship model. Students can immerse themselves in a real work environment for six to 12 months through work attachments with our industry partners. This enables our students to have a first-hand taste, and better appreciate the demands of the working world, even before they graduate.
Likewise, employers get to understand the capabilities of our students and discover how SITizens are different from others. With close mentoring by our Professional Officers (POs) and their industry supervisors, students get to work on actual projects at their IWSP companies, and tackle real-world issues for their final-year projects.
The IWSP is a mandatory component for both joint and SIT-conferred degree programmes. It enables students to experience and understand their specialised professions intimately and shift their mindsets towards a work-learn continuum.
We have come a long way since the inaugural IWSP cohort. The programme has now become a salient feature of our education experience and remains a key pillar of our applied learning approach.
Supporting jobs of the future
SIT's integral role in the future economy
"SIT has an important role to play in the future economy." That was the key message that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong delivered at the inaugural 'Dialogue with SITizens' on 24 October 2016.
Citing the example of four student journeys, PM Lee encouraged SITizens to stay resilient during trying times, while seizing the opportunities to learn, unlearn and relearn, and be ready for the future.
The pioneer graduates
90% of SIT graduates were employed within six months
In 2017, the inaugural cohort of SITizens graduated from two degree programmes offered by SIT— Bachelor of Accountancy and Bachelor of Hospitality Business.
In 2018, another three of our pioneering cohorts graduated from three degree programmes offered by SIT— Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Sustainable Infrastructure (Land), Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Information and Communication Technology (Software Engineering), and Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Information and Communication Technology (Information Security).
From the pioneer graduating cohort, more than 90% were employed within six months of graduation. Over the years, the Graduate Employment Survey (GES) results continue to be a testament to our model of applied learning.
A smart university campus for everyone
Our future campus is located within the Punggol Digital District (PDD), situated in the north-eastern region of Singapore. It is set to be a vibrant and inclusive district underpinned by cutting-edge technology.
Occupying a total land area of approximately 91,000 square metres, the centralised campus will be able to accommodate around 12,000 students – twice the combined capacity of our current satellite campuses.
The campus is envisioned to be a 'living lab' that integrates research and innovation for our industry partners. Students will be exposed to industry know-how by working on interdisciplinary projects, as well as test-bedding smart technologies. We hope to bring students, faculty and industry professionals together to collaborate on projects that can benefit the community.
Other campus features include open, public spaces, such as an 800m long Heritage Walk, that Punggol residents will be able to enjoy as well.

Sometimes the sinning brother refuses to hear the private rebuke. He may deny his guilt; he may deliberately continue in sin; he may try to cover up what he has done. Whatever his response, if it is not repentance—and assuming you are certain of his guilt—you must now take one or two other believers with you and confront him again.
The presence of one or two others serves two main purposes. First, it turns up the pressure. The people you take with you represent the beginning of the whole church's involvement in the matter. The offender is thus put on notice that if he or she continues in sin, the consequences will only grow more severe. Once again, it must be remembered that the proper objective is nothing less than gaining back your brother. Step one is repeated; you must carefully, patiently, lovingly show him his sin again. But this time it is done in the presence of one or two witnesses.
The second reason for involving one or two others is that they serve as witnesses. The two-witness principle was established in Moses' law (Deuteronomy 19:15). It was designed to ascertain guilt beyond reasonable doubt before any verdict could be made—especially in court cases. Therefore, having witnesses in this second step of discipline also suggests that the end of the process will be a form of judgment if the offender does not repent.
The question is sometimes raised whether the "witnesses" must be witnesses to the original offense. Some hold that view, but it cannot be the meaning in this context—if the witnesses were already aware of the offense, they also had an earlier duty to go privately and confront the offender, as mandated by verse 15.
Of course, it is also true that if the offender denies that the offense actually occurred, there needs to be a second witness or some other objective evidence to establish the offender's guilt. The Old Testament principle cited in verse 16 still applies: Every fact must be established by the testimony of at least two or three witnesses. So if a dispute boils down to nothing more than the word of the accused against the word of the accuser, the mere accusation is an insufficient basis for pursuing discipline, and the matter should be dropped.
However, assuming the offender does not dispute the accusation itself and still refuses to repent or forsake the sin, witnesses must be brought in to establish the fact that the offender has been confronted and failed to repent. They are not necessarily witnesses to the original offense, but rather objective parties who will witness the confrontation. They will be able, if necessary, to confirm what was said privately in case the matter needs to be reported to the church (Matthew 18:17). They are witnesses to the fact that the discipline process itself has been properly followed. And their presence at this stage is as much a protection for the one being confronted as it is for the one doing the confronting.
A person is not to be accused of impenitence before the whole church on the testimony of a single witness. In fact, the one or two others might become witnesses in favor of the accused, if it turns out the accuser is being overly harsh or unfair.
But if the accuser wasn't being too harsh, and if the process moves beyond step two, the fact of the offender's impenitence will need to be established by two or three witnesses.
In many cases the person confronted will respond to this second step with repentance. If so, the matter is settled. Assuming he demonstrates his repentance by forsaking the sin and making things right with any injured parties, this should be the end of the matter. It would be inappropriate at this point to broaden the circle of involvement beyond those who are already witnesses.
Covering the sin, not exposing it further, is the right and loving response to the sinner who repents. Unfortunately, as with step one, if there is continued unrepentance the disciplinary process must be taken to another level. Next time we'll examine step three.

Food|The Next Best Things in Sliced Bread
The Next Best Things in Sliced Bread
By JULIA MOSKIN APRIL 30, 2008

NEW YORK has long been a city of stand-up eaters, but that doesn't mean people aren't picky. To make it here, a sandwich has to work overtime, being portable, filling, interesting and tasty.
"What's better than a really great sandwich?" said Alexandra Raij, the chef at Tía Pol and El Quinto Pino, who is hosting a sandwich potluck for friends at her apartment next week. "Nothing that I've ever made."
It should be noted that Ms. Raij is the inventor of several memorable sandwiches, including one filled with sea urchin and drizzled with fragrant mustard oil. But with all respect to her uni panini, it is not a real New York sandwich. Slim and precise, it lacks the compressed, complete pleasures of the Cuban sandwich, the heft and chew of a fully loaded gyro, the cool crunch of a Vietnamese banh mi. Those three are two-fisted, five-minute complete meals with the kind of flavor and texture contrast available on, say, a seven-course tasting menu at Jean Georges.
A great New York sandwich is large; it contains multitudes. And new contenders are turning up all the time to challenge the mighty meatball parm and the elegant B.L.T. Whether invented, imported, or refined here — whether discovered in the boroughs or farther afield — the seven sandwiches here move the dialogue forward.
The research for this article produced as much regret as revelation, with unrequitable longings for far-away creations like Chicago's jibarito (steak squeezed between thin, crusty slices of smashed plantain) and extinct species like the chacarero of Jackson Heights, Queens: a Chilean sandwich with a garnish of chopped green beans, the specialty of a bakery that is now closed.
Most of all, the research was extremely filling.
The ground rules: A sandwich had to be composed as such; mere food on bread did not count. (This left out, for example, pan de lomo saltado, a popular Peruvian stir-fry of beef, onions and peppers laced with soy sauce, typically served with French fries, but piled onto a crusty roll for sandwich purposes.)
Burgers and wraps were out of the running, as was the universe of empanadas, samosas, patties and arepas; the same went for any sandwich that had to be eaten inside a restaurant or was otherwise unavailable for travel to a picnic, a ballgame or a playground.
SANDWICH MERGUEZ AU HARISSA
Magid Atif has worked almost every job in the restaurant business, starting as a busboy at the Purity diner in Brooklyn when he arrived from Casablanca in 1985.
"Finally, I decided to go to cooking school, and I wanted to go to Paris but my funds would only allow me to go to Pittsburgh," he said last week in Little Morocco, the breezy cafe in Astoria, Queens, where he is now an owner and chef. Steinway Street south of the Grand Central Parkway is lined with hookah cafes, halal butchers, Middle Eastern bakeries and North African restaurants; a mosque across the street provides a steady stream of customers.
Mr. Atif's time at the Cordon Bleu served him well, but eventually his cooking circled back to the spicy, paprika-reddened merguez sausages he said he learned to make from the Jewish butchers of Casablanca. The merguez are made daily at the cafe, cooked to order and stuffed into crusty, grilled "petit pain" — "little bread" in Casablanca, a k a Italian rolls in Queens — with cubes of cucumber and tomato, chopped green olives and a hot-pink, spicy, garlicky harissa, also made in-house. "I mastered it through many kitchens," he said. Wine vinegar and extra oil emulsify Mr. Atif's harissa into a tangy sandwich spread that takes a bow toward mayonnaise.
Little Morocco, 24-39 Steinway Street (25th Avenue), Astoria, Queens, (718) 204-8118.
CEMITA POBLANA
A cemita has the familiar look of a Big Mac — until you bite into it. To absorb the layers of spicy meat, soft avocado, fluffy bread and the thick flesh of whole chili peppers is to leave the fast-food nation forever. "Poblano food is famous in all of Mexico," said Raúl Hernández, a restaurant worker who was polishing off a cemita at Los Girasoles in Woodside, Queens, last week.

Pining for regional Mexican food used to be sad sport for food lovers in New York, until the city got lucky in the late 1990s with an influx of immigrants from the state of Puebla. (Many of the kitchen workers in the city's best restaurants are Poblano.)
Papalo, a fresh herb with the bite of watercress and the breath of cilantro, gives lightness to a sandwich that can weigh a couple of pounds at the outset. "Without papalo it is not a cemita," said Tony Quintero, an owner of Kiosko, in Port Chester, N.Y., a once-neglected Westchester County town now revived as a destination for excellent, authentic Latin-American restaurants.
Mr. Quintero's pork butt al pastor, marinated in citrus, chilies, cinnamon and cumin, then crisped on a griddle with shreds of pineapple, makes the best cemita around. Order it without the lettuce and tomatoes, concessions to American sandwich convention.
Los Girasoles, 47-55 47th Street (47th Avenue), Woodside, Queens, (718) 361-7454; Kiosko, 220 Westchester Avenue (North Main Street), Port Chester, N.Y., (914) 933-0155.
KNISH PRESS
The owners of Press 195, a sandwich joint with stores in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and Bayside, Queens, may have avoided putting the word "panini" on the menu. Nonetheless their futures are staked to pressed sandwiches: they have more than 30 on the menu. "Every deli in New York has panini now," said an owner, Chris Evans, who grew up flipping burgers at the estimable Donovan's Pub. But what the delis don't have — yet — is the knish press: a sandwich built on a split potato knish, the brainchild of Brian Karp, the chef and co-owner.
Squeezed in the hot press, the knish's crust becomes thick and crunchy, and the peppery, onion-tinged mashed potato inside melts into the filling. The pastrami version is thought-provoking, but even better is London broil with gobs of spicy brown mustard and an "onion jam" that takes you right back to the hot dog cart. The knishes are brought in daily from Gabila's in Coney Island. These square, deep-fried specimens are generally considered inauthentic by knish purists, who prefer them round and doughy, but this is an excellent use for them. "When we got to a certain level of production, Gabila's agreed to supply us fresh, not frozen," Mr. Evans said. "That was the day we felt like we made it." Order it well-done and be prepared to wait.
Press 195, 195 Fifth Avenue (Union Street), Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 857-1950, and 40-11 Bell Boulevard (40th Avenue), Bayside, Queens, (718) 281-1950.
NIU ROU SHAO BING
Those who consider China an unlikely source of handcrafted breads should consider the popular breakfast called you tiao shao bing: a fried cruller folded inside a fluffy sesame-sprinkled pancake, essentially a bread sandwich. In New York, shao bing (sesame pancakes) often appear at Beijing-style fried dumpling shops, known for their remarkable price-to-quality ratio and their lack of amenities, like chairs. But they also make niu rou shao bing, an exquisite sandwich on bread that rivals anything from Sullivan Street Bakery or Tom Cat Bakery.
The flat-bottomed woks used to sear the dumplings are put to work frying shao bing the size of large pizzas. Right out of the wok they are sprinkled with sesame seeds, hacked into wedges, dabbed with hoisin sauce and stuffed with braised beef. The crunchy sandwich shows off the bread's flaky inside, subtle scallion flavor and golden crust. (The key is timing: wait for bread that is hot off the stove.)
Kai Feng Fu Dumpling House in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, is one of the best of New York's new crowd of specialists in mian shi, meaning flour food, a staple of Northern China. "It's a way of categorizing dumplings, noodles and bread as opposed to rice, the staple of the South," said Fuchsia Dunlop, a British journalist who graduated from culinary school in Sichuan and has written books about cooking and eating in China.
"They use a bit of yesterday's dough for leavening," she reported after quizzing the cooks at Kai Feng Fu in Mandarin last week. "The dough is pressed out, then they scatter it with chopped scallion, then fold and press it again." Her new memoir, "Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper," is about her serious effort to break through from eating as a foreigner in China — both in her mouth and in her mind. "You would have to get to the point where a beef sandwich and a goose intestine were equally appealing," she said. "It takes time."

BENNY MAC
One day last year at the Watchung Deli, at the request of a student from a nearby school, Ben Gualano piled mac-and-cheese onto a chicken cutlet sub with barbecue sauce and bacon, squeezed it shut somehow, and the Benny Mac was born. "Now the kids from Montclair High and the ones from M.K.A. are fighting over whose idea it was," one of the deli's owners, Gary Kiffer, said with satisfaction, referring to the local public and private schools.
The Watchung, in business since 1926, has stayed true to the deli's German roots, producing endangered species like German cucumber salad, egg custard in little foil cups and macaroni and cheese from scratch every day. It also carries an ample stock of Tastykakes, including hard-to-find Butterscotch Krimpets.
The Benny Mac may still be a work in progress, from a strictly epicurean point of view: the mac could be cheesier, the roll crunchier, the cutlet more flavorful. But it is more than a sandwich. It's a full-body experience — like a mud bath, but with extra ooze. One taster said afterward, "There was bacon in there?"
Watchung Delicatessen, 117 Watchung Avenue, Montclair, N.J., (973) 744-1452.
CHILI MACKEREL MANTOU
Province's crusty, spicy, resoundingly fishy mackerel mantou is nothing a fish sandwich might expect to be. Instead, it resembles a hot dog with the works: chewy, salty and squirting juice from the heap of crunchy pickled shallots on top of the fried fillet. Holding it all together are the steamed, fluffy buns known as mantou.
"Growing up in Hong Kong, I ate everything with chopsticks in one hand and a mantou in the other," said Pak Wong, an owner. "It made sense to put the food and the bun together."
Characteristic of Northern China, mantou are pillowy like English muffins, soft like hamburger buns, and they soak up flavors like nothing else.
This sleek shop straddles chic TriBeCa and scrappy Chinatown, much like its sandwiches, which incorporate kimchi, braised pork belly, beef burgers and Japanese pickles. "Our sandwiches are very New York because they are not Chinese, not Korean, but all kinds of things we like," Mr. Wong said.
Province, 305 Church Street (Walker Street), TriBeCa, (212) 925-1205
GREEN FALAFEL
Working as a chef, Einat Admony sharpened her palate at Danube, Bolo and Tabla before turning her attention to her own "home food" in 2003. "There are a million falafels in New York, not to mention in Tel Aviv," she said, referring to the Israeli city where she grew up. But, she said, to make a great falafel sandwich, with its many components — hot and cool, crunchy and soft, spicy and smooth — is exacting. "It's all these small things that you taste and taste and taste every morning," she said.
Taim's version is transformed by the fresh herbs that go into the dough: typically a golden mass of chickpeas but bright green here from quantities of cilantro, parsley and mint. That breath of fresh herbs, along with the crunch of the hot crust and the earthy cream of the tahini, pulls the Taim falafel to the front of the pack.
"There is something about the taste here, like each thing has more flavor than it does anywhere else," said Anna Stojanowska, who lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, but journeys to the West Village for lunch sometimes. "There's actually a great falafel place at my subway stop in Brooklyn, but this one is just that little bit better, you know?"
Taim, 222 Waverly Place (Seventh Avenue South), (212) 691-1287.

The Guild Leader Just Left 🧙♂
By: goukijones May 26, 2021 | 1 Comments
#1 in PvP Duels.
I'm in a pretty competitive guild in this online game I play. You can only have 20 people in one guild and if you don't sign on within 5 days, you get booted. It's serious. One day I noticed that the guild leader, the master, the guy who invited me to the guild, he left. Just left. The next day there was a new member of the guild with an almost similar name. It was the same guild leader but on a B team account. A brand new account with no good heroes to help the guild. I was like WTF. I'm not bothered by it in the long run. I'm playing the best I can as a hardcore casual myself. Sign in every day, but only have like 30 minutes to do anything.
Halo Infinite E3 2020 Reaction Video from GoukiJones at the Microsoft Press Conference
Prepare YOURSELF!
There is no video of me. There is only video of the new Halo. Behold.
This is not what I was expecting at all. Just a few minutes of actual gameplay and what they showed was not good at all. I don't want to bitch, I definitely don't want to bitch, but there was nothing, nothing in that trailer that had me in awe. No cool explosions like the Ratchet and Clank, no innovative new matchmaking or battle royal/big team battle gameplay mode. Just 117 shooting some grunts, elites, and brutes. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Official GoukiJones Review
By: goukijones May 6, 2020 | 1 Comments
Not gonna lie. I love this game.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is an updated and modernized version of Final Fantasy VII which was originally released January 31, 1997. 23 years later the story of Final Fantasy VII is still a great story to watch and even more fun to play. The characters are all very well defined and you can easily get the feels if you can't control your emotions. Barrett - The big brutish leader of an Avalanche strike team(kinda like terrorists.) He is constantly goading Cloud with lines during fighting and after fighting. It's not just Barrett though, Aerith also gives Cloud a hard time. In one sequence, while just running from one area to the next, Cloud explains to Aerith that she needs to stay back during fights because it is dangerous. It just so happened that Aerith died in the next fight after she got all of the agro and told Cloud after the fight "I guess they were just going after the stronger fighter." Jeez. There are characters giving shit to Cloud and it is great, the characters are very much alive this way.
The graphics in this game are on a next level. FFVIIR goes from cutscenes right into combat seamlessly. This is a game that makes me feel like I'm playing the cutscenes of the original 1997 version. One level has you hanging from the rafters underneath a plate in Midgar. You are overlooking one of the sectors below. The slums. If I swing my camera around too fast to look over the edge, my wife will turn away. She can't look, says she gets the feeling of extreme height. You can have your breath taken away by that view and a lot more of the scenery if you take your time and look at all of the detail. Everything is rendered perfectly to fit together.
Grimshade Gouki.com Review
By: goukijones Apr 29, 2019 | 1 Comments
What I had the most trouble with was reading the map. I couldn't make it out of the first zone or past the quest "Stashes of Brann."
Grimshade is a tactical turn-based game. During battle the teams are separated by a line down the middle of the battle field. You have a small grid to move your characters around on. It's not free roaming like Final Fantasy Tactics, you can't walk to the side of an enemy or get behind them. Some of the characters have moves that get behind the enemies, but every fight takes place with this virtual line in the sand.
I started the game on the hardest difficulty setting. The combat early felt more like I was just memorizing the sequence of attacks from the enemy to be ready to counter. I didn't mind this and felt the combat getting more challenging with each fight, especially when I started adding more party members.
What I had the most trouble with was reading the map. I couldn't make it out of the first zone or past the quest "Stashes of Brann." I have played many games in my lifetime and spent two 90 minute sessions running around this map looking for this one missing item. I had collected two of the three items and the map showed me the general area they were located, but not exactly where. You can walk right into different areas of the map without any indication that it is happening. So I had the idea of just going around the outside and inside walls to search for the missing item. When I found the second item it was hidden underneath a floor tile. At this point I knew for sure which area one of the three items came from. The second item in my inventory I did not know what area I had picked it up in so that meant I had to search both areas again. This is when the back and forth started for like two hours. I knew it was one of two areas and I felt like I had completely combed both areas and clicked on everything possible. This is when I began to think that I may have glitched the game.
Generation Zero Beta Review
By: goukijones Oct 21, 2018 | 1 Comments
Coming in 2019!
We played this together a few times. We didn't find the game play very exciting or very in depth. GrrrtyGirl (My wife) made it clear that she wasn't having fun killing the robot dogs. She was bored that it was all you could do in the game. We streamed a session where we are in the dark for over an hour, but at least the fireworks look cool at night.

Australia star Alyssa Healy disappointed after India cancelled women's team's tour of England
Indian women's team's proposed tour of England was cancelled owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Top Australian cricketer Alyssa Healy
Top Australian cricketer Alyssa Healy has expressed disappointment at the cancellation of the Indian women's team's proposed tour of England owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Indian women's team was originally slated to play a bilateral series comprising three ODIs and as many T20Is against England in June which got postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. But the UK sojourn was called off earlier this week.
Decision on 2021 ICC Women's World Cup in next two weeks
Indian women's cricket team pulls out of proposed England tour: Report
Indian women miss out but SA announce 24-member squad for England tour
"Would be sad to see it not happen especially with the hope of a WC (World Cup) early next year," Healy tweeted in response to a post by Sydney-based cricket writer Rick Eyre.
The ICC Women's World Cup is scheduled to be played in New Zealand from February 6 to March 7 next year.
Healy's remark is significant as she is one of the top female cricketers of not only Australia but the world.
Eyre wondered why it's so difficult for the women's team to tour England even as the BCCI plans to go ahead with the rescheduled IPL in the United Arab Emirates.
His tweet read, "Why is it harder to send the Indian national women's team to England than it is to send the entire IPL to the UAE?"
A challenging tour of England would have helped immensely in the Indian team's preparations for the World Cup, reckoned a few from the cricket community after the cancellation.
However, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said it was in talks with their Indian and South African counterparts to host a tri-series in September.
The women's T20 World Cup in Australia was the last big-ticket event to be held before the pandemic halted all sporting activities in March.
With cases rising rapidly in India, it is not even clear when the players can assemble for a training camp.
India is one the worst affected countries by the pandemic with over 12 lakh infections and more than 30,000 deaths reported so far.

ISRAEL = NO DEMOCRACY AT ALL = LIKE ALL ISRAELI PROPOSITIONS = PURE LIES | Concise Politics -- Your Time should NOT be wasted.
One of the great non-sequiturs of our political discourse is that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
ISRAEL'S NEW LAWS = END Israeli democracy.
ISRAEL = LIMITED FREE SPEECH = Max Blumenthal: "not talking about Iran you're an anti-Semite and I condemn that." or a self-loathing Jew.
Tzipi Livni = ex-Likud + ex-aide to Arial Sharon = Warn Israel is a fascist state = The Occupation Laws are creeping back over the green line, and right-wing elements are cracking down on democratic rights afforded to Jewish master class inside Israel = Feeling a slight scintilla of the oppression Palestinians have felt since 1947 Israel formed.
ISRAEL = Right-Wing anti-democratic laws = Target human rights NGOs = B'Tselem = Make them out to be traitorous to the Jewish state of Israel.
ISRAEL RIGHT-WING LAWS = Mostly Avigdor Lieberman's Russian Yisrael Beiteinu party supported by Netanyahu = Attacking NGOs = Association for Civil Rights in Israel = Document abuses by Israeli army in West Bank.
ISRAEL = STARNGLE HOLD ON WEST BANK FREEDOMS = A kind of fascist onslaught.
ISRAEL = ALLOWS funding from groups like Pastor John Hagee Christian Zionist that fund pro-settlement LAND ROBBERY organizations but BLOCKS FOREIGN FUNDING for left-wing groups.
ISRAEL = Nakba Law = Ongoing dispossession of Palestinians + Ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians in 1947 and 1948 to make way for a demographically contiguous Jewish state.
ISRAEL = Forbids Arab schools in Israel teaching about the Nakba or the Palestinian narrative.
ISRAEL = Ultra-nationalist party run by Lieberman laws applies financial penalties to any nonprofit organization that observes ceremonies associated with the Nakba where Palestinians mourn this dispossession.
ISRAEL = Attack on Arab sector and their civil society inside Israel by Defunding them.
ISRAEL = Anyone saying Boycott an Israeli business in the occupied territories or writes an op-ed on that can be sued without evidence in a civil court and seek financial penalties claiming damage to their business.
ISRAEL = "Members of the Kadima, the principal opposition party, waved black flags to mourn the death of democracy after Israel's Parliament passed two bills that will tilt the balance of the country's Supreme Court sharply to the right. The legislators involved had their flags confiscated before being expelled from the chamber." = Tilted right since Aharon Barak tried basic laws that protected human rights in Israel and the occupied territories.
ISRAEL = COURTS increasingly packed with right-wing figures — even a settler on the Supreme Court.
ISRAEL = Requires justices to have served in the Israeli military = Prevents any Arabs from serving on the court.
ISRAEL SUPREME COURT = Ruled Israel can annex or expropriate Palestinian land in the West Bank to establish quarries and conduct mining that will profit companies that exist inside Israel proper.
ISRAEL Supreme Court = The one Arab justice refused to stand for Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem, an ode to Jewish nationalism = Efforts to strip him of his position on the Supreme Court for doing that.
ISRAEL Apartheid = Land laws = Palestinian citizens of Israel are citizens with NO national rights = Arab ID cards identifies them as Arab = Palestinians who live inside Israel are unable to lease land because the land is controlled by the Israeli Land Authority, which is itself controlled by the Jewish National Fund.
ISRAEL = Jewish National Fund controls seven out of the 13 seats on the Israeli Land Authority's Board, a majority = Provide land exclusively for the Jewish people, which means it's Jews-only land.
Jewish National Fund (JNF) = Controls 20% of land in Israel = Palestine's best and most arable land + Through its control of the Israeli Land Authority, it actually controls far more.
ISRAEL = ONLY town established was to "concentrate the Bedouin population" after they ethnically cleanse them from their land in the Negev desert = One village was demolished 32 times = Wiped off the map in favor of a pine forest funded by an evangelical television station called God TV.
ISRAEL = Allows Jewish Communities of under 500 people in Israel to discriminate on the basis of ethnicity.
ISRAEL = Palestinian citizens of Israel are WORSE OFF than second-class citizens = NO national rights and NO property rights.

Most mathematicians have a doctoral degree, and many have completed post-doctoral studies as well. Well obviously, they work with numbers. Byers maintains that great ideas, like Simone Weil's notion of 'true good', have conditions that are contradictory and so seem impossible — they encapsulate ambiguity that is so great as to seem paradoxical.
