Bonn At Kennedyallee 41 in Bad Godesberg, around 75 apartments are to be built, so the area will have to be cleared of bushes and trees. As compensation, the neighborhood wants to have 17 trees planted on their properties.
One might almost think that the area at Kennedyallee 41 is completely undeveloped. Only when you take a closer look do you notice the villa, which is situated in the middle of trees and bushes. The house has been empty for a long time and soon it will go away. According to the city, there are plans to build around 75 apartments in three separate buildings on the approximate 4,900 square meter site. One of the buildings will have four floors and two of them will have three floors.
They will be connected by an underground car park with an entrance on Kennedyallee and exit on Matthias-Grünewald-Straße. According to an initial plan, almost all trees and bushes on the property will have to be removed for the project.
URBAN DESIGN IN DIALOGUE
Site visit at Kennedyallee
Kennedyallee will be the next destination of a site visit by the Volkshochschule (Community College) and the Bund Deutscher Architekten (German Architectural Association) as part of the series "Stadtgestaltung im Dialog" (Urban Design in Dialogue). The meeting place is this Saturday at 10 am at the corner Kennedyallee/Europastraße. Three locations in the vicinity of Kennedyallee will be compared: the American settlement, the residential area opposite it and the planned new development of the post office area on Kennedyallee, directly next to the science center.
Anyone wishing to take part in the one-hour tour with geographer Michael Lobeck pays a six- euro fee. Registration under www.vhs-bonn.de (No. 6382). Maps are also available on site.
The plan is met with mixed feelings among the residents of the Matthias-Grünewald-Straße and Langer Grabenweg, especially with regard to cutting down the trees and the increase in traffic density which will occur as a result of the new buildings. Some residents are proposing a number of amendments which they have expressed in a citizens' amendment. 17 out of 20 trees, which would probably have to be taken away, came under the tree protection statute, the administrator stated at the most recent meeting of the district council. The residents hoped that these 17 would be replanted in the immediate vicinity, and on the properties of the those who petitioned.
Parking to become even tighter with the new buildings
Another concern is that there are more cars in the vicinity since new construction took place at Matthias-Grünewald-Straße/Godesberger Allee. This has also made it more difficult to find a parking space. The result: dangerous situations occur regularly on Matthias-Grünewald-Straße and Langer Grabenweg. And not only with cars, but also with pedestrians shopping in the nearby supermarket. In order to defuse the situation, the residents requested that "a 30 km/h zone leading to the exit be created".
Another wish to build the entrance and exit of the new underground car park to Kennedyallee was withdrawn by the residents. After a discussion with the administration, it was said that this was not feasible.
Site at Kennedyallee : Residents oppose development in Plittersdorf
British Community : An overview of British life in Bonn
Spring in winter : What the warm weather in the region means for people and animals
The administration said ten of the 17 trees would be replaced. The proposals from the citizens would be evaluated, including the 30 km/h idea, as par of the preliminary planning in the development plan. It will then become clear over the next few months whether the proposals will be implemented.
According to the city, citizens can view the development plan from November 21 to December 20 in the Stadthaus (City Administration Building) on Berliner Platz, on the internet or in a slimmed-down version in the Bad Godesberg Town Hall on Kurfürstenallee. In this period they can submit their suggestions and requests for changes, which will be evaluated in the further planning procedure.

Guest post: Drew Bartkiewicz is a Technologist and Author of the Upcoming Book, Unseen Liability. He is a Graduate of Yale and West Point. He insures Web 2.0 business risks with The Hartford. His post is a follow-up to a recent talk he gave on Web business risk.
As an industry and as users of the modern Internet we have gone from our Internet childhood of Web 1.0, full of data innocence, data discretion, and truly permission-based advertising. With the recent growth of personal data incidents we increasingly appear to be living during Internet adolescence, awash in personal data excess and advertising over-indulgence.
In many ways Web 2.0 is not a perfect progression of Web 1.0 aspirations. Social networking users, for example, appear too willing to give up something of value to them today (their highly personal attributes of social, commerce, and professional dimensions) for what feels right at the moment, but without consideration for its potential privacy and reputation costs down the road. Though Governor Palin was not a known or active social media user, her personal emails illustrated dimensions of her persona that impacted her social reputation, for better or worse.
The original concept of One to One Marketing was executed within Web 1.0 (albeit not to completion) under the mutual expectation that a user would judiciously share their personal profile with a company for better products and services, and that the company would honor its intimacy with that user. One to One Marketing was a major technology-enabled advancement but it appeared to be practiced with prevailing business ethics for privacy respect and advertising restraint. Words such as data transparency, privacy, and identity controls still made their way into coding decisions and advertising techniques. Put in a more simplistic context, the company still considered the data of the user the property of the user and not the property of the company. Personal data was parked in the company server, not surrendered for Internet eternity. Today, this distinction is significant in politics, business, and Life.
A concerning transition has occurred over the last few years as Web 2.0 – the hungrier, more ad-driven web – has taken hold. People on the Web are infinitely more willing to put it all out there about who they are and companies are far too hungry to make money from it, mainly in the form of the biggest online advertising spend in history. Last year, over $19.5 B was spent on online advertising, up 110% from 2004. It's the gold rush of personal data mining, reaping windfall gains for those companies that can quickly collect it, package it sell it, and windfall losses of personal privacy for those users that too quickly give it up.
Though Governor Palin's email breach occurred in the context of political sport, future data breaches will become even more personal as Web 2.0 users continue to trust a social web that has yet to be truly tested for privacy protection and data restraint. Until social norms and business laws for personal data governance are more advanced, the liability of personal data infringements will be felt dearly by users and businesses alike. Who knows what the future holds for the data candidates of the next Presidential race.

MacCauligen History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Many variations of the name MacCauligen have evolved since the time of its initial creation. In Gaelic it appeared as O Gaibhtheachain, which is derived from the word "gaibhtheach," which means "anxious."
Early Origins of the MacCauligen family
The surname MacCauligen was first found in County Mayo (Irish: Maigh Eo) located on the West coast of the Republic of Ireland in the province of Connacht, where they held a family seat from very ancient times. The Gavigan, Gavin, or Gavahan surname is derived from the Irish Chieftain Gabhadhan who was descended from King Colla da Crioch, one of the three Colla Kings who ruled Ireland and died about 360 A.D.
Early History of the MacCauligen family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our MacCauligen research. Another 76 words (5 lines of text) covering the years 1689, 1640, 1679 and 1929 are included under the topic Early MacCauligen History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
MacCauligen Spelling Variations
Just like the English language, the Gaelic language of Ireland was not standardized in the Middle Ages. Therefore, one's name was often recorded under several different spellings during the life of its bearer. Spelling variations revealed in the search for the origins of the MacCauligen family name include Gavigan, Gavin, Gavihan, Gavahan, Gavan, Gavagain, Gavagan, Gaven, Gavin, Gavighan and many more.
Early Notables of the MacCauligen family (pre 1700)
Another 39 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early MacCauligen Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the MacCauligen family
Ireland became inhospitable for many native Irish families in the 19th centuries. Poverty, lack of opportunities, high rents, and discrimination forced thousands to leave the island for North America. The largest exodus of Irish settlers occurred with the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. For these immigrants the journey to British North America and the United States was long and dangerous and many did not live to see the shores of those new lands. Those who did make it were essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest and most powerful nations of the world. These Irish immigrants were not only important for peopling the new settlements and cities, they also provided the manpower needed for the many industrial and agricultural projects so essential to these growing nations. Immigration and passenger lists have documented the arrival of various people bearing the name MacCauligen to North America: Daniel Gavin who landed in Virginia in 1654; John Gavin settled in Pennsylvania in 1773; Thomas Gavin settled in Maryland in 1774; James Gaven landed in America in 1690.

Winter is an expensive time. You have to stock up on food for Christmas, buy lots of presents and invest in endless amounts of warm coffee. However, this is not the only thing that you spend your hard-earned money on during the winter. You also use endless amounts of money on heating your home.
So you can spend money on the more important things instead, we have provided a list of top tips to reduce the gas bill this winter for all of our customers across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
This point almost seems too obvious. Yet two thirds of people on expensive standard variable tariffs (SVT's) are reluctant to switch supplier because there is a fear that the process is either too complicated or the benefits are not worthwhile. Switch supplier and you can potentially save hundreds of pounds!
Close the doors of unused rooms and confine the heat into a small area. You'll notice a huge difference.
Tin foil is a fantastic reflector of heat. If you place it behind your radiators, you'll no longer be heating your walls, you'll be heating your entire home. You can use purpose-built reflective foil, which you can purchase from most DIY stores, or you can use generic kitchen foil, although the results are slightly less effective.
Heating engineers can check to ensure that your boiler is operating to the optimum running standard. This can reduce the risk of it breaking, resulting in a costly repair and it can ensure that your money is giving you the results that you deserve. We offer this service here at Jack Rounding Plumbing and Heating, so please get in touch if you're due your yearly service!
If you have noticed that your radiator has certain cold spots, your home might benefit from having its radiators bled. This isn't as bad as it sounds – you can source a bleed key from most local DIY stores and all you need to do is wait for the hissing noise to pass. The hissing noise is the sound of gas being released from the system.
Open the curtains during the day to allow the sun and heat in, but close them during the night to stop the heat from escaping.
Try and work out your ideal temperature. For most people, this will be between 17°C and 21°C. Rather than turn the thermostat to its highest setting, make an effort to learn your ideal temperature and maintain a consistent temperature over the course of the day.
We hope this tips help you keep warm for a great price this winter. If you need any assistance with your boiler during the winter or fear that it isn't working as well as it should be, please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can call us on 07817 855739 or you can contact us through the contact form on our website. We'll look forward to hearing from you soon.


Alexander Salkind and his son Illya were really on a roll. They had taken a well-known property that strangely was sitting gathering dust and turned it into a one-two punch of a successful film and its sequel. What had once seemed like a gamble, Superman The Movie and its sequel were hits with audiences and critics.
A 'Super Franchise' was born.
The Salkinds took the initiative. They had replaced original director Richard Donner with Richard Lester to finish Superman II and now decided to keep him on to direct number three.
Meanwhile, plans were hatched to bring Superman's cousin to the big-screen as well. When the Salkinds obtained the rights to the Man of Steel they also got ahold of Supergirl too! So, why not do something with her!
A worldwide search was on to find the perfect Supergirl. She eventually came in the person of the young Helen Slater. Making her film debut in a film with a huge budget, a cast of stars and a lot of expectations attached to it.
Directed by Jeannot Szwarc, Supergirl would not impress audiences. The film would be a critical and financial disappointment. Coming soon after the sub-par Superman III, Supergirl would wipe away the optimism the Salkinds 'Super Franchise' had promised.
I take a look at this 1984 sci-fi, superhero fantasy and see what went wrong – or did it? Maybe audiences and critics completely missed the boat with Supergirl. Perhaps it was a film way ahead of its time and now looking at it away from all the hype that surrounded it at the time one can make a fairer assessment of it. Hey, it's been known to happen.
Starring Helen Slater, Faye Dunaway, Peter O'Toole, Brenda Vaccaro, Hart Bochner, Peter Cook, Maureen Teefy, Mia Farrow and Simon Ward, I continue with the latest chapter in my Superhero Series – Supergirl.


Our two guestharbours, Karön and Ekenäs offer a total of 70 boat places. Modern service facilities are located on each side and our own "Karöline" will safely transport you from side to side.
Select Ekenäs or Karön – our 70 guest spots are waiting for you.
Are you staying more than one night we recommend you to book in advance.

Aircraft Warning Service Winged Badges – Identified- SOLD
AWS badges belonging to a woman who was attacked by Chinese planes in 1937, and later a west coast pilot for this civilian service unit.
SKU: JM19-326 Category: Sold Items
WWII Aircraft Warning Service badges once belonging to Grace Shecklen from San Rafael, California. She was the wife of George F. Shecklin, radioman from San Francisco, vice president of RCA in charge of the Shanghai station before WWII began. Grace Shecklin was aboard the S.S. President Hoover when it was attacked by Chinese aircraft in August of 1937, during the confusion during major attacks on Shanghai by the Japanese. Mrs. Shecklin was credited with the radio reports that came from China to various newspapers in the States. One such by-line came in the Sept. 1, 1937 Bakersfield Californian where she reported the attack and the death of one American sailor. Grace was listed in the 1940 U.S. Census as 42 years of age.
The two badges in this lot consist of a badge with three ladder bars, each showing 500 hours logged. The main brooch is blue enamel with orange lightening bolt piercing the center diagonally, unit identified to the 4th Fighter Command, which was based at Riverside, California. A pair of AAF pilot wings is mounted at the top, and a two engine aircraft affixed to the center. A silver chain links to a miniature pair of AWS pilot wings. Both pieces are hallmarked Sterling. "GRACE SHECKLEN" engraved on the reverse.
42mm high. No markings. Pin back.
The second badge may be a cap or beret badge, being 42mm high, and pin backed. The badge looks like sterling but not marked. The shield has the same colors used as in the brooch, with a different unit number (possible the 2nd Intercept Command?). This one does not have Grace's name engraved on the back. These two badges came together out of an Idaho collection.
The Aircraft Warning Service (AWS) was a civilian service kept watch for specifically Japanese ships and planes entering American territorial airspace.
A chain connects a pair of mini AWS wings (30mm). The badge including the 3 ladders is 42mm high. The larger winged badge is 42mm also.
Excellent condition on both.
Civil War Cavalry Uniform, "Shell" Jacket -SOLD
Gold & Enamel G.A.R. Lapel Pin – SOLD
Identified Civil War Veteran's Gold GAR Lapel Pin – sold
British East India Company Mourning Brooch – SOLD

Developed by renowned cardiologist, Dr. Arthur Agatston, the South Beach Diet is a 3-phase plan designed to help you shed weight and keep it off. By focusing on heart-healthy food groups, this meal plan helps you get down to your goal weight while teaching you how to maintain healthy eating habits outside of the program.
What's Unique About the South Beach Diet?
South Beach Diet is committed to not only helping its clients lose weight, but also aiding them in making real changes to their health. Founded and crafted with the help of world-renowned cardiologist Dr Arthur Agatston, the program is split into 3 phases. As anyone would expect from a weight loss plan created by a cardiologist, there's a lot of science that goes into this program and its phase structure.
Weight loss kick-start: By eliminating gluten, sugars and starches from the diet, your body is 'reset' and will begin burning fats rather than carbs – resulting in faster weight loss.
Steady weight loss: By slowly reintroducing healthy carbs into your diet, you'll start to experience a more steady weight loss, and will eliminate the cravings felt from more restrictive diets.
Maintaining your goal weight: Once you've successfully reached your weight loss goal, the program provides a number of simple recipes and helpful tips so you can make real lifestyle changes.
The program aims to enable a steady weight loss journey, and phase 3 involves maintaining a healthy weight while dining out and making meals at home. To this end, South Beach Diet includes 2 practice days each week, even in Phase 1.
Twice a week, dieters will need to create healthy choices which fit with the program, or dine out sensibly with the diet plan in mind.
This helps you learn how to make smart eating decisions, getting you ready to eventually wean off the meal plan and craft your own healthy, nutritious and balanced food plan.
Signing up to South Beach Diet is fairly simple. Just choose your 4-week meal plan - either Chef's Choice or Pick Your Own Meals - decide whether to add snacks and you'll be prompted to create an account and provide payment details.
After the order has been placed, you can expect your meals within 4-10 business days. Most of the prepared food will arrive flash frozen and ready to be heated up and enjoyed. Snacks, and some other foods come ready to eat.
The first 2 weeks, known as Phase 1, are entirely gluten free. After that, many of the meals do contain gluten. None of the phases are suitable for Vegetarian, Vegan, Paleo or Kosher diets.
South Beach can cater to customers with specific allergies such as shellfish. Speak to customer service if you are unsure whether your dietary requirements restrict you from using this diet plan.
The plan includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Snacks can be added at an additional charge. There are about 30 options for breakfast, 50 for lunch and dinner, and 11 snack options.
Meal choices vary from shakes and protein bars, to full meals such as fiery chilli or garlic ginger beef with broccoli. Snacks include brownie bars, ice cream shakes or protein rich options such as nuts or meat jerky.
The South Beach Diet costs $461.52 for a 4-week plan. The price can drop to $299.99, $10.71 a day, if you opt for auto-delivery. With auto-delivery the plan renews automatically every 4 weeks. The South Beach Diet will continue to ship orders and bill you every 4 weeks unless you cancel by phone. You can pause or cancel the plan any time. However, if you cancel before paying for your second shipment, you will be charged $125 for the auto-delivery discount. If you cancel any time after your second shipment, there is no charge. Shipping is free if you opt for auto-delivery, but there is a $1.99 packaging fee per order.
In addition, for an extra $40, the South Beach Diet will include snacks in your plan. This brings the daily total for the plan to $12.14.
The South Beach Diet website has an extensive FAQ section where users can find answers to their most common queries about food choices, as well as technical and delivery-related questions.
For those who would prefer to contact someone directly, there are a number of options. Customer service representatives are available by phone Monday through Friday 7am-12am EST, and 8:30am-5pm EST on Saturday and Sunday. You can also reach a representative by email anytime or by live chat from 8am to 11pm, Monday through Sunday. There are separate phone, email and chat options for weight loss counselors who can provide tips on the meal plan as well as support.
The South Beach Diet is a good option for those who care as much about their health as they do about losing weight. Its focus on heart-health and sustainable healthy eating habits that transform your metabolism is built to last long-term.
The fully prepared meal plan program was rolled out in 2016. It was founded by Cardiologist, Dr Arthur Agatston, who has had tremendous success helping his patients safely lose weight using his techniques and meal plans. Dr Agatston is the author of 12 best-selling books on weight loss, and over 11 million people have tried the South Beach Diet.

Fondazione | Alexander Langer | Stiftung
The 2017 Alexander Langer Prize is awarded to the NGO Angalià from Lesbos and to ASGI
23.11.2017, Langer Foundation
The 2017 Alexander Langer Prize is awarded to the NGO Angaliá from Lesbos and to ASGI (Associazione per gli Studi Giuridici sull'Immigrazione - the Italian Association for Legal Studies on Immigration)
"For a welcoming, aware and supportive Euro-Mediterranean community"
In April 1995, Alexander Langer wrote in Verdeuropa: "Nowadays, governments are worried about certain alarm bells and they tend to deal with them, but too often in a merely repressive way: uncontrolled immigration, social tensions and "bread riots", the growth of Islamic fundamentalism, the risks of illegal drug and arms trafficking… dangers more than opportunities. The next inter-governmental Euro-Mediterranean conference, announced by the European Union and due to take place in November 1995 under the Spanish presidency, has the positive aim of establishing a new Euro-Mediterranean partnership. However, it risks only seeking to curb some of these supposedly threatening phenomena, through cooperation and financing agreements, without risking a bolder move: a partnership that will lead to a veritable Euro-Mediterranean Community, alongside and entwined with the European one".
These words help us to understand why the Langer Foundation has decided to award the 2017 Langer Prize to two organisations – Angaliá from Lesbos and ASGI – which, in two European countries (Greece and Italy), and in two different yet complementary ways, have for years been tackling the difficult and inescapable challenge posed by the thousands of people who defy death daily in order to cross European borders.
ASGI states in its Italian regulatory reform programme on the right to immigration, asylum and citizenship, presented on 21 March 2017: "Immigration is a structural and normal phenomenon that has deeply changed the Italian socio-economic system, but that was not foreseen or governed because the majority of people, public authorities and politicians could not or would not implement effective policies to handle this reality. Rather, they continued to treat it as a temporary phenomenon, to be managed with sporadic or emergency measures, or with recurring regularisation procedures for illegal entry (while always obstructing legal entry for employment purposes), or as a security threat (with few exceptions due to the compulsory implementation of EU directives and the right of EU citizens to freedom of movement), in any case denying adequate funding for social integration policies for foreign citizens".
Furthermore, it is particularly tricky nowadays to clearly define the difference between economic migrants and forced migrants. The reasons for incessant migration can be found in wars, dictatorial or repressive regimes, the long-term consequences of European colonial policies, the pillage of natural resources, climatic and environmental factors that lead to poverty and inequality, and constant population increase.
In a global world in which goods move freely, often following trajectories that evade checks on their production lines or on the rights of the people producing them, people themselves do not enjoy the same freedom of movement. Not even when they flee from bloody conflicts that are ravaging their countries of origin.
Having taken all this into consideration, our choice has been made around three main criteria. Firstly, it is necessary to defend the rights of migrants based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, our Constitution, and democracy. These must be respected when new laws come into force, as well as when current laws are implemented. It is also necessary to build welcoming, aware and supportive communities. Moreover, a greater sense of belonging to Europe must be disseminated – a shared responsibility and desire to build peace "among men, with nature, among peoples", to use Langer's words. We believe that Angaliá and ASGI constitute exemplary models of such criteria.
Angaliá
The NGO Angaliá (meaning "hug" in Greek) was founded in 2008 in Kalloní, a town in the centre of the island of Lesbos, by local priest Father Stratís and three other volunteers.
It focused initially on assisting those who were hit hardest by the economic crisis, which to this day still leaves 15% of the Greek population living below the poverty line. It then started to work with the ever-increasing number of refugees who were reaching the shores of Lesbos.
In 2016, Angaliá focused on the 200+200 project, seeking to support 200 local families who had fallen victim to the "structurally complex reality that is poverty" and 200 refugee families who were facing particularly serious problems.
As well as offering economic support, Angaliá's activists – as stated in their 2016 End-of-year Report – sought to "unite people and bring the message of shared solidarity to locals and refugees, so that they would understand that in today's world poverty, persecution, discrimination and marginalisation are often born of common causes and can be tackled only through non-discriminatory collective solidarity". This two-pronged approach to help both the local poor and those from further afield is one of Angaliá's most innovative aspects, particularly in the context of interconnected crises that can be traced back to various factors: war in the Middle East, the struggling Greek economy, a fraught political system in Turkey and the difficulties affecting policies and values in all of Europe.
Angaliá presents itself as "a group that doesn't belong to any official agenda" and wants to distinguish itself from the often dubious practices that have been adopted towards refugees. Its members believe that it is necessary to act "simply" as citizens who cannot avoid taking on responsibility for what is happening before their very eyes. They do so on an entirely voluntary basis, without seeking European or government contributions, in order to maintain their critical freedom. The 200+200 project was also possible thanks to the vast volunteer network built by Angaliá with organisations and citizens from all over Europe; this promoted material support, medical assistance, cultural and artistic exchanges, and political planning. It is no coincidence that between 2015 and 2016 Lesbos had an unprecedented increase in young European volunteers, a precious resource that should not be wasted.
Angaliá does not hold back from harshly criticising European policies. While these policies managed to contain the flow of Syrian, Afghan and Iraqi refugees through agreements – rightly questioned – between Turkey and EU member states, they unfortunately did so through "militarisation" and "inhumane refusal of entry". "It is unbearable to count the number of lives claimed in 2016," states Angaliá, "while the material hardships inflicted on refugees in the middle of winter highlight our collective failure to reach the supposed level of civilisation that we proclaim".
The Italian Association for Legal Studies on Immigration was founded in 1990 by a group of lawyers and university lecturers, with the aim of guiding the work of Italian lawmakers toward adopting regulations governing the entry and residence of foreigners and asylum seekers, in compliance with fundamental human rights and constitutional principles. It has also worked to encourage Italian society to develop a positive approach towards the far-reaching changes brought about by international migration.
ASGI has contributed for over 20 years to the development of national and EU regulations on immigration, asylum and citizenship, promoting the protection of foreigners' rights in political and parliamentary debate as well as in the work of public authorities. It has offered ongoing, widespread and high-quality training to all: from volunteers to activists and social workers, right up to lawyers, committee members, police departments and prefectures. It has provided direct operational support to migrants and operators in individual cases, through appeals, consultations and advice. It has provided complete, detailed, ongoing and critical information on Italian and European migration law. It has practised effective legal opposition to all forms of discrimination against minorities.
In the past few years, particular attention has been given to the protection of forced migrants (asylum seekers, refugees and displaced persons) and on developing proposals, at European level too, to combat xenophobia and populism and protect fundamental human rights. In this vein, ASGI has supported and won many disputes both in Italian and EU courts (the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice) on crucial issues related to foreigners' rights, such as discrimination, forced expulsion, arbitrary detention, and the right to asylum.
ASGI is based on voluntary work and is a totally independent organisation, using legal tools to cooperate, interact and – where necessary – come into conflict with any type of government and institution whenever the rights of people migrating, settling or transiting through Italy are at stake. ASGI, which now has a growing number of female and foreign members, has become a point of reference for associations, public and private bodies, students, lawyers, social workers and anyone with the desire and need to remain up-to-date and discuss immigration issues.
All this makes ASGI a paragon and an example at European level of how the principles and practices of democracy can constitute an essential safeguard for positive relations among peoples.
Today, in Italy as in the rest of Europe, the debate on migration has become a daily battlefield, all too often founded on a lack of understanding and a chronic inability to see matters through a broader perspective. It seems that little has changed in the 20 years since Alexander Langer criticised EU member states for their inability to develop a common policy on migration, to establish a valid partnership with migrant countries of origin, to manage migration flow intelligently and offer effective forms of reception and integration that respect fundamental human rights. In fact, Europe's general predicament and powerlessness seem to have worsened.
Faced with such a situation, the decision to award the 2017 Langer Prize to Angaliá and ASGI seeks to go against the grain, to show what could be the right path to follow. In their respective histories and concrete goals, the two organisations undoubtedly appear very different to one another. And yet at the same time, they just as clearly complement each other. They both show how it is possible to bring together aspects that are as diverse as they are essential: helping those in need, respecting fundamental rights, grass-roots volunteering, maintaining independence from self-interested pressures, controlling institutions and encouraging them to act in compliance with democracy, refusing to limit migrants to being "refugees" or "victims" and instead ensuring they have the same rights as anyone else.
The 10,000 EUR Prize money has been offered by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio, Bolzano.

FE news
Get in on the act
By Alison Thomas
Giving drama a high profile can vastly improve your students' performance, says Alison Thomas
"Mein Leben ist hart. My life is hard. I have to work every day. I have to work all day long. I even have to work at weekends." So begins Aschenputtel (Cinderella), written and performed by students of Notre Dame High School, a Language College in Norwich. It continues in similar vein, as the ugly sisters boss their victim around. "You must sweep the floor!" they exclaim.
"I must sweep the floor!" echoes Cinderella. And do the dishes. And the ironing. And a hundred other tedious chores. "I'm alone in the world and my heart is heavy," she sobs, rolling up her tattered sleeves as her stepsisters set off to buy posh outfits for the ball. "New clothes for us, but not for you! New shoes for us, but not for you!" they taunt, as they leave her to her broom.
The script is arresting and stunningly simple, yet it cleverly incorporates a wide range of core language. "With a little imagination, you could use it to teach most of the GCSE syllabus," says head of modern languages, Yvonne Clerehugh. "Family relationships, special occasions, clothes, minor ailments... it is all there." The same applies to grammar. Modal verbs, adjective endings, tenses, question forms, commands, word order, prepositions - all are introduced with humour and reinforced through repetition.
It was the need to brush up on grammar that first inspired the project two years ago, although not with Year 11. For Aschenputtel began life as a bridging resource between GCSE and AS. "At the start of the course, students' syntax is often shaky and we also have to integrate people who join us from various neighbouring schools. This was a way of revising basic structures, getting them to speak and having some fun," she explains. With the help of drama specialist Joc Mack, an advanced skills teacher from Framingham Earl High School, the class developed the script, communicating exclusively in German as they worked.
Their eventual audience - 80 Year 7 pupils from Bignold Middle School - was a further indication of the resource's wide appeal. "Because the story is familiar and the language is backed up with exaggerated gestures and actions, young learners can follow what is going on," she says. "Afterwards you see little children wandering around repeating, 'Das ist ja wunderbar!'
and 'Eine Party? Wo ist die Party? In der Disko? Im Park? WO?'"
But how did she find time to prepare a dramatic production and still cover every aspect of the prescriptive AS specification? "I was a little concerned at the outset but Joc assured me it would not take long and pointed to the benefits in terms of laying solid foundations and boosting oral confidence," she replies. "Putting it all together took one or two lessons a fortnight for five or six weeks, plus a few lunch hours and after-school rehearsals. It certainly paid off."
It paid off again the following year, this time with a group of exceptionally able Year 11 students, who had passed GCSE with flying colours in Year 10. As one reason for fast-tracking had been to ease pressure in the all-important exam year, preparing them for AS was not an option. Aschenputtel filled the gap. They embellished the script with a few touches of their own, learned their parts, created props and put on the first of several performances in November. Audiences have ranged in age from key stage 2 to sixth form - and beyond, as it even attracted the interest of teachers from Germany on a visit to the University of East Anglia. It has also earned the school a European Award for Languages.
Boosted by their success, the group moved on in the following term to a much more demanding text - an abridged version of Der Besuch der alten Dame. The production, too, was more sophisticated and the action took place against a backdrop of projected PowerPoint resources and video clips. The cross-curricular dimension made for a rich learning experience while Duerrenmatt's darkly comic play lifted the participants' German to new levels. "Imagine how much they learned through memorising lines of this calibre," she enthuses.
She acknowledges the debt she owes to her colleague, for both projects have been the fruits of close partnership. "I didn't have the confidence to teach drama on my own, or indeed the skills, and the amount I have learned from Joc is incredible," she explains. "ICT is my passion, which is why we worked so well together on Der Besuch der alten Dame."
They complement each other in other ways too - Joc is outgoing and impulsive, while Yvonne is more reflective and tends to anticipate problems. "I hold her back when she might go too far and she pulls me along when I'm too cautious. We are not a bad team really," she says.
She may lack confidence in her own expertise, but she is in no doubt about the power of drama to motivate. Of the 19 students who comprised the Year 11 fast-track group, nine are now studying German in the sixth-form compared with an uptake of three and two in the two preceding years. What is more, they are clamouring to do another play, and even those who are not taking AS want to be involved. And her current Year 11, a conventional GCSE group, are keen to perform Aschenputtel, which they read together in class at the end of Year 10.
There are only so many hours in the day, but she is certainly tempted by the prospect of a new venture. "I have been toying with the idea of 'Snow White and the Seven Giants'. That could be fun," she says. "I think there is definitely a future for this in language teaching if only we can break away from what is required, or what we believe is required. We just need to be a little more daring. If it captures students' interest and requires them to memorise not just vocabulary but grammatical structures, then it must be worth doing."
You can download the script, translated into French and Spanish, from Notre Dame's website, together with a variety of German language activities and abundant ideas on how to teach language through drama. Choose "German" in the subject box and follow links to Aschenputtel.

Sample language activity - family relationships and personal characteristics
* Using dictionaries, students find five different adjectives to describe each of the following: Cinderella, her stepmother, the ugly sisters, the prince and the fairies. Alternatively, they refer to a vocabulary list provided and assign each word to the appropriate characters. Games introducing these adjectives are available online at: www.quia.comjg525414.html
* Students choose a character and write a brief description.
* Exploiting the same language, they describe themselves or their family and friends.
* They describe relationships, using subordinating conjunctions - eg Cinderella gets on well with the prince, although he is rich and she is poor. This can be done as a matching exercise, with jumbled beginnings and endings, or as a word order activity to practise the position of the verb in a subordinate clause.
* They adapt these phrases to fit their own personal circumstances.

There are three different forms of EEC: EEC type 1, 2 and 3. Only one family has been identified with EEC 1 and 2. The most common type is EEC 3 In this document, we will refer to the latter as EEC.
Abnormal function of stem cells for the cornea. This may lead to corneal erosions and conjunctival overgrowth of the cornea.
Most cases of EEC syndrome are caused by mutations of the TP63 gene.
A diagnosis of EEC syndrome is based upon identification of characteristic symptoms, a detailed patient history, a thorough clinical evaluation and a variety of specialized tests.
EEC can be diagnosed with a blood test to do a genetic test. EEC can also be diagnosed clinically based on the symptoms but this is not 100% accurate.
Is There a Test for EEC?
Molecular testing is available for EEC syndrome.
EEC is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder meaning a person affected has a 50% chance of passing the gene to a son or daughter.
EEC syndrome affects males and females in equal numbers. The exact incidence and prevalence of the disorder in the general population is unknown.
Learn more information about EEC syndrome at Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man.

NC State Parks makes offer to buy Tract 286
01/16/2020 12:33 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)
On Thursday, January 16, 2020, NC State Parks gave an offer to RDUAA to buy Tract 286 and add it to Umstead State Park. The RDUAA did not accept their offer.
NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources Chief Deputy Secretary D. Reid Wilson said in the letter:
"However, a fence as proposed presents multiple problems for the park and its users:
The proposed fence would bisect the park's popular "Reedy Creek Multi-Use Trail in two places; the trail is used by tens of thousands hikers, cyclists and equestrians every year, and it would be far too expensive for the park to move the trail;
By creating a permanent eyesore and marring the look and "feel" of the park, the proposed park would greatly harm a fundamental purpose of the park, namely to provide public access to a natural setting for people to enjoy nature and improve their physical and mental health;
The degradation of the visitor experience would likely create among trail users a negative impression of the airport;
Because the proposed fence would cross four large streams, 19 small streams, and 29 temporary streams or ditches, it would damage stream banks, wetlands, and water quality downstream in Umstead Park;
The proposed fence would block movements of wildlife, effectively trapping them between airport fences;
The proposed fence may constitute an adverse effect to the park's status on the National Register of Historic Places, which could trigger review and requirements under federal or state law"

One of the earliest books I read in elementary school was about George Washington. Of course, I remember the time young George chopped down his father's cherry tree and when confronted he said, "I cannot tell a lie." This was an exaggeration. Nevertheless, reading about his exemplary character made an impression on a willing and eager boy who wanted to learn about how to conduct one's life.


Okay - so it's no secret that I've always found Julian Bond very sexxy. But I've always wondered what the President of the NAACP felt about homophobia and civil rigts for the LGBT community. I was pleased to learn a few years ago that he is sternly against homophobia and views the struggle for LGBT equality a civl right that he happily adopts as a cause he embraces as one of his own.
Bond promises, "At the NAACP we pledge to do our part," when talking about the fight for the right to marry. He spoke about Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, and about how taking action can lead people to change their minds.
I loved the story he shares about a friend of Coretta that wanted her to become an ally of the LGBT community in our fight for equality. In doing so he would have to come out to his friend of 20 years and he was hesitant in doing so. But he placed the phone call and Coretta responded with, "Just let me know what you need me to do." But people still wonder why I encourage all my friends to live their lives openly and honestly. It's because sometimes just by being true to who you are you can shape the way people feel about our community.
What I love about Bond is that he is not only beautiful, he's also brilliant. My favorite line from his speech was, "Gay and lesbian rights are not special rights in any way. It is not special to be free from discrimination. It is an ordinary universal entitlement of citizen."
Please take a moment to listen to the speech in its entirety. It will be well worth your time.

Weyes Blood Rising
Weyes Blood's Natalie Mering talks about her outstanding new Sub Pop album "Titanic Rising" and more
By Dustin Lothspeich	• Published at 12:55 pm on August 6, 2019
Brett Stanley
Much of the narrative that surrounds the music of Weyes Blood, the moniker of LA singer/songwriter Natalie Mering, is dedicated to dissecting its majestic, melancholy sound and the author's morose, contemplative lyrical content.
However, often overlooked along the way, is Mering's dark sense of humor -- something that takes center stage in her music videos like the absurd "Do You Need My Love" and the '80s slasher film send-up "Everyday."
During a recent morning phone call, Mering (who performs with her band at the Irenic on Aug. 7) explained why and how it all intersects.
"I think that life, in a lot of ways, is benevolent and I think there's a lot of suffering and a lot of violence and there's a lot of moments where it feels like this incredibly heavy, tragic situation -- but I also think that it's kind of like a riddle and like a joke also. And I think humor is actually very esoteric and actually quite deep. Even though I think it throws some people off.
"I've had people tell me when they hear my banter in between songs, 'Whoa, that was really weird; I was getting all emotional and crying and all of a sudden you're being a ham on stage.' [laughs] So, I think it's not easy for everybody to make that connection but I certainly do. All the comedians I know are pretty dark, sad people in some way [laughs] so they can relate to musicians just as much. It's just a different kind of emotional pursuit but with a very similar outcome."
Missing the comedy of Weyes Blood isn't exactly a difficult thing to do -- especially since the music is so hauntingly dramatic. When Mering dropped 2017's magnificent "Front Row Seat to Earth" on Mexican Summer, listeners got lost in an absolutely sublime album that married downcast Laurel Canyon-esque folk, ethereal synths and Mering's rich, warm voice.
On this year's "Titanic Rising" (which earned a sought-after Best New Music nod from Pitchfork), Weyes Blood has gone bigger with beautiful orchestral layers, even more vocal harmonies, dreamier textures -- just a fuller, more produced sound overall. When asked about its grandiosity, Mering admitted it was largely due to Sub Pop putting its weight (and resources) behind the recording process. [Purchase it here]
"I think because it was my first record with a label that really was ready to put their support behind me, they were just more lenient. It was like, 'Yeah, I wanna go into the studio for like three months instead of one month, you know?' And they were like 'OK!' And I wanted to use string players and hire other people to play on the record more, so all those things really helped it become a more symphonic work.
"Just having that freedom and space and trust from them, I think really helped me have a little more fun."
Weyes Blood headline the Irenic on Wednesday, Aug. 7, with Dustin Wong. Tickets are available here (for now). Doors are at 7 p.m. and the show is all ages.

By now, you've probably noticed the changes to Facebook's News Feed that launched earlier this week. And if you're like most people we know, you hate them. Well, Facebook doesn't care - it's on to the next change. And thisis quite a biggie.
It's only a year since Facebook revised user's profiles, adding that funky row of photos at the top (enabling all sorts of shenanigans), and now they're changing it all up again. And these changes are, well, substantial. There's a whole new profile concept on the way, which Facebook calls 'Timeline.'
What is it? Well, it's sort of a scrapbook of your life. Instead of a straightforward list of what you've been up to, the Timeline is a varied, highly visual showcase of various stories you've sort-of-selected, and you can add stuff from before you joined Facebook. It looks a bit like some Tumblr themes.
'What Timeline does is shows all the important stuff recently, then summarises the rest of your life,' explained The Zuck. 'This is the magic and how you can tell the whole story on a single page.'
Can't picture it? Here's a vid. Timeline will come to all Facebook users soon, but if you can't wait, you can jump through some hoops to get it now.

WU, Xiaofen; RUAN, Lei; YANG, Yi and MEI, Qi. Analysis of gene expression changes associated with human carcinoma-associated fibroblasts in non-small cell lung carcinoma. Biol. Res. [online]. 2017, vol.50, 6. ISSN 0716-9760. http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s40659-017-0108-9.
We downloaded the GEO series GSE22862, which contained matched gene expression values for 15 CAF and normal fibroblasts samples, and series GSE27289 containing SNP genotyping for four matched NSCLC samples. The differentially expressed genes in CAF samples were identified using the limma package in R. Then we performed gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis and protein–protein interaction (PPI) network construction using the identified DEGs. Moreover, aberrant cell fraction, ploidy, allele-specific copy number, and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) within CAF cells were analyzed using the allele-specific copy number analysis.
We obtained 545 differentially expressed genes between CAF and normal fibroblasts samples. The up-regulated genes are mainly involved in GO terms such as positive regulation of cell migration and extracellular region, while the down-regulated genes participate in the lung development and extracellular region. Multiple genes including bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) and transforming growth factor, beta 3 (TGFB3) are involved in the TGF-β signaling pathway. Genes including BMP4, TGFBI and matrix Gla protein (MGP) were hub genes. Moreover, no LOH event for BMP4 and MGP was found, that for sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) was 70%, and for TGFBI was 40%.
Our data suggested that BMP4, MGP, TGFBI, and SPHK1 may be important in CAFs-associated NSCLC, and the abnormal expression and high LOH frequency of them may be used as the diagnosis targets of CAFs in NSCLC.
Keywords : Carcinoma-associated fibroblast; Non-small cell lung carcinoma; Differentially expressed genes; Allele-specific copy number; Functional analysis.

Gary Wojtaszek: building one empire after another
Menear
CyrusOne
QuantumLoophole
A look at the career of industry legend Gary Wojtaszek from building CyrusOne into a $12bn industry titan, to his latest role at Quantum Loophole
Most people at the top of their game don't turn around and start again from scratch. Alexander the Great didn't sack the city of Alexandria, only to turn round and walk away from the greatest empire the world had ever known to try and do it all again. Michael Jordan did actually give it a go but, if the first act of Space Jam and his 114 strikeouts during 497 plate appearances (during his actual career as a baseball star) can teach us anything, it's that a lot of people who conquer the world can only do it once.
And then there's Gary Wojtaszek. The data centre industry titan has already defied expectations by taking an ambitious upstart data centre company with $525mn of investment, called CyrusOne, and turning it into a $12bn landmark of the industry establishment.
Wojtaszek stepped down as the CEO of CyrusOne early last year. Now, it really looks as though he's going to do it all again. Twice.
Wojtaszek has served on the board of GDS Data Centres since 2017, during which time they've gone from - you guessed it - an interloping upstart to one of the fastest growing, most recognisable brands in the Chinese data centre industry.
This year, Wojtaszek is lending his magic touch to what just might be the most ambitious project in the industry right now. In March, he announced that he would be joining the board of directors as Quantum Loophole, a (I know it, you know it) upstart data centre company on track for great things.
Quantum Loop wants to change the way that we design and build data centres forever. It's a lofty ambition. But, with the company's impressive $13mn seed funding round and the addition of Wojtaszek, to its leadership team, it's off to a promising start.
He says he's "proud to be a contributor, helping the company reach its epic achievement of a first-of-its-kind, gigawatt-scale, master planned data center city developments." And adds that, "Impeccable data center design considers scalability, cost-efficiencies with high-speed connectivity bridging networks and solutions for speedier transactions. Quantum Loophole's approach carefully considers all of these elements, with fully integrated state-of-the-art renewable and sustainable solutions."
As Wojtaszek shifts his focus from C-Suite roles towards board-level leadership positions, he explains that, "it's important to me that data center developments focus on scale, speed, and cost - with a keen eye on environmental and community impact."

Understanding the Importance of Serving the People in its Communities
With more than 90 percent of its members owning homes and farmsteads, Goodhue County Cooperative Electric Association (GCCEA) understands the importance of serving the people in its communities.
"We value all of our members – big and small," said Kelly Hovel, general manager of GCCEA. "We have a number of family farms that rely on us each and every day for their livelihood, and we work with them using special grants and rebates to save energy and money."
Eleven of the 19 employees that serve GCCEA are also members of the cooperative.
"We have friends and family all along the lines we serve," Hovel said. "It means our employees are personally invested in the community and have been all their lives. And it adds to the sense of pride and the accountability we have in the job we do providing safe, reliable and affordable energy to the people that surround our daily lives."
Serving Goodhue and parts of Dakota, Olmsted, Rice, Dodge and Wabasha Counties
Owner Occupied Units 13,474 Renter Occupied Units 4,153 Vacant Units 1,236
Educating, Supporting Local Communities
Co-ops are part of the communities they provide power to. Part of the seven cooperative principles is concern for community and providing education, training and information to its members. GCCEA demonstrates both principles through its giving and training programs.
GCCEA gives back to its local communities through Operation Round-Up, which encourages members to round up their electric bill to the next dollar with all funds awarded to local organizations. GCCEA members have given back nearly $500,000 during the co-op's 22 years of participation. GCCEA also makes donations to the county's 4-H organization, local FFA programs, the county fair, National Night Out and local economic development organizations.
In addition to providing financial resources, co-ops see the importance of education—especially around electric safety. GCCEA provides electrical safety demonstrations at local schools and fire departments.
"Promoting safety is a priority for GCCEA both internally and within the communities we serve," Hovel said.
GCCEA employees continue to work to expand this program to more fire districts, schools and local emergency medical services.
Collaborating with Great River Energy
GCCEA worked with Great River Energy engineers and field service employees recently to upgrade its original substation, Hader Substation, built in 1938. The upgraded substation will help GCCEA maintain the reliability its members have come to expect. The co-op also worked with Great River Energy to complete its four-year work plan and a sectionalizing study, which helped determine how resilient the GCCEA grid is by analyzing how many redundant sources of electricity the grid can rely on.
GCCEA's partnership with Great River Energy also includes direct benefits to GCCEA members. Through Great River Energy, GCCEA can offer agricultural energy audits at a reduced cost, which helps the ag industry gain operational efficiencies and maximize energy costs.
In the future, GCCEA is looking to upgrade another substation to address potential load growth just south of the Cannon Falls area. The co-op is working with Great River Energy to finalize their system-wide metering conversion as well. The next step involves changing out its load control system and integrating the new system with Great River Energy.
"This is something Great River Energy has already laid the groundwork," Hovel said. "We expect that with Great River Energy's experience and expertise, this process should go flawlessly."

It is the policy of the UW-Eau Claire to maintain an academic and work environment free of discrimination, discriminatory harassment, and retaliation for all students and employees. This policy applies to all programs and activities, and employment practices and operations including the conduct of all students and employees arising out of their employment, educational or academic status, as well as to the conduct of all guests, visitors, vendors, contractors, subcontractors and others who do business with UW-Eau Claire.
Prospective and current students, student organizations, job applicants, and employees will be informed of policies and procedures regarding discrimination, discriminatory harassment, and retaliation.
Prohibited Discrimination and Discriminatory Harassment Against Students
Prohibited Discrimination and Discriminatory Harassment Against Employees
Informal Resolution
Initial Review by Affirmative Action Officer
AAO Report
Rights of Individuals Disciplined
Additional Venues
Discrimination or discriminatory harassment based upon individual characteristics protected under institution policy, state law or federal law (protected status) is prohibited. In addition, any form of retaliation against students or employees will not be tolerated.
No student may be denied admission to, or participation in or the benefits of, or be discriminated against in any service, program, course or facility on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, ancestry, disability, pregnancy, marital or parental status, or any other category protected by law, including physical condition or developmental disability as defined in Wisconsin Statutes §51.01(5).
No employee may be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, ancestry, disability, pregnancy, marital or parental status, genetic information, arrest record, conviction record, military service, veteran status, use or nonuse of lawful products off the employer's premises during nonworking hours, declining to attend a meeting or participate in any communication about religious matters or political matters, or any other category protected by law. This provision includes employment-related actions, such as recruitment, interviewing, testing, screening, selection, placement, classification, evaluation, transfer, promotion, training, compensation, fringe benefits, layoffs, and /or dismissal.
Discrimination is conduct that adversely affects any aspect of an individual's employment, education, or participation in an institution's activities or programs, or has the effect of denying equal privileges or treatment to an individual on the basis of one or more characteristics of that individual's protected status or category as defined herein.
Discriminatory Harassment
Discriminatory Harassment is a form of discrimination consisting of unwelcome verbal, written, graphic or physical conduct that:
Is directed at an individual or group of individuals on the basis of the individual or group of individuals' actual or perceived protected status, or affiliation or association with person(s) within a protected status, and
Is sufficiently severe or pervasive so as to interfere with an individual's employment, education or academic environment or participation in institution programs or activities and creates a working, learning, program or activity environment that a reasonable person would find intimidating, offensive or hostile.
Prohibited discriminatory harassment may include but is not limited to verbal or physical attacks, threats, slurs, or derogatory or offensive comments. Conduct need not be targeted at a particular individual or result in tangible injury to constitute discriminatory harassment.
To constitute prohibited harassment, conduct must be both objectively and subjectively harassing. Whether the conduct constitutes harassment depends on the totality of the circumstances; including the nature, frequency, duration, location, and context of the conduct; as well as the status of the individuals involved.
Retaliation is adverse action taken against an individual in response to, motivated by, or in connection with a complaint of discrimination or discriminatory harassment; participation in an investigation of such complaint; and/or opposition of discrimination or discriminatory harassment in the educational or workplace setting.
Any person who believes they have been subject to activity prohibited by this policy should contact the Affirmative Action Office. Inquiries will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with due consideration given to protection for freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and academic freedom.
This procedure applies to discrimination, harassment, and retaliation complaints by and against UW-Eau Claire employees, students, and affiliates. Retaliation against an individual for filing a complaint of discrimination or harassment or participating in the process is prohibited.
To the extent practical, efforts should be made to resolve complaints informally among the parties involved. Employees and students may at any time seek advice and assistance on informal resolution from the Affirmative Action Officer (AAO) (212 Schofield Hall, 715-836-2387, affirm01@uwec.edu), who may assist with a negotiated resolution either before or after a formal complaint is filed.
Should informal resolution be unsuccessful, a complaint may be filed with the AAO. Complaints must be initiated by filing in writing with the AAO within 300 calendar days after the complainant knew or reasonably should have known of the occurrence, event, or omission out of which the complaint has arisen. An individual who does not comply with the time limits in this policy shall be barred from further pursuit of the complaint process.
The AAO will review the complaint and will notify complainant within 20 calendar days of receipt of the complaint whether the complaint will be investigated, referred to another office or individual, or dismissed (if the complaint is untimely or without sufficient basis to warrant investigation).
The AAO will gather and consider evidence in order to investigate the complaint. Information needed may include interviews with the complainant, respondent, and any witnesses; written statements and communications; and documents such as personnel or academic files policies and procedures. The AAO will typically complete the investigation within 60 days.
Where possible, confidentiality will be maintained. However, certain disclosures may be necessary to ensure a thorough investigation in compliance with the law and university regulations. In addition, university records may be subject to release under the Wisconsin Public Records Law.
At the conclusion of the investigation, the AAO will prepare written findings and submit them to the Chancellor with a copy to relevant supervisory employees, the complainant, and the respondent (if any).
Where the AAO finds insufficient evidence of discrimination or harassment, the complaint will be dismissed.
Where the AAO finds sufficient evidence of discrimination or harassment, the AAO will work with appropriate university officials in formulating a recommendation, which will be submitted to the Chancellor for consideration and decision. The Chancellor's decision, which may include specific actions or recommendations for discipline, is final within the institution.
A finding of insufficient evidence by the AAO (prior or subsequent to investigation) may be appealed to the Chancellor, by submitting in writing the reasons for the appeal within 15 calendar days of the AAO's dismissal. A student complainant may appeal the Chancellor's ruling to the Board of Regents.
Individuals disciplined as a result of this procedure retain applicable rights and procedures with regard to the disciplinary action.
