Marcus Mariota Plays One Series for Titans in Preseason Win Over Eagles
Jim Wyatt
Senior Writer/Editor
PHILADELPHIA – Marcus Mariota's 2019 preseason debut didn't last long.
The Titans quarterback played just one series in the team's 27-10 preseason win over the Eagles before being replaced by back-up Ryan Tannehill.
Mariota completed 4-of-8 passes for 24 yards in the game – with all four completions going to receiver Adam Humphries.
"He makes it easy," Mariota said of Humphries, formerly with the Buccaneers. "He finds soft zones, is a tough matchup for teams. He makes it easy on us."
The Titans moved the ball 25 yards on 10 plays on their opening drive, but a Mariota pass intended for Humphries fell incomplete on 4th-and-seven, ending the drive in the Philadelphia 23-yard line.
Mariota's passer rating in preseason game No.1: 56.3.
"I thought we did a fairly good job early on," Mariota said. "We converted some third downs. We have something to build off of and got a good amount of plays in and I'm looking forward to next week."
Mariota, who also played just one series in last year's preseason opener, threw the ball to Humphries on six of his eight attempts. The Titans first drive of the preseason also included a pair of runs by running back Dion Lewis.
Tannehill replaced Mariota at the 7-minute mark of the first quarter.
Tannehill completed 12-of-16 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns – a one-yard toss to MyCole Pruitt and a 23-yard pass to Anthony Firkser - in the game, good for a passer rating of 138.0.
Logan Woodside replaced Tannehill at the end of the second quarter and played the entire second half. Woodside's 25-yard touchdown pass to receiver Cody Hollister gave the Titans a 21-10 lead in the fourth quarter, and he then connected with Tanner McEvoy for a 17-yard touchdown strike to make it 27-10 with 9:37 left. Woodside finished the night 15-of-20 for 138 yards and the two scores.
The Titans face the New England Patriots in preseason game No.2 next week.
"Our quarterback room is something pretty special," Mariota said. "We have a good group of guys -- Logan and Ryan both have been a tremendous support. I like the atmosphere, and the culture of the quarterback room. We're going to continue to build off what we have done and push each other."

'We call on the EU to appoint a Horn of Africa envoy'

TILLBURG, BERLIN, STOCKHOLM, SALAMANCA, DUBLIN, TODAY, 07:06
Dear Excellencies Charles Michel (president of the EU Council), Ursula von der Leyen (president of the EU Commission) and David Sassoli (president of the European Parliament),
A call to the EU to urgently engage in peace efforts for the Horn of Africa.
The European Union must immediately appoint senior high-level envoys for the Horn of Africa to engage in and provide support to international, in particular African, efforts to curb the crisis in the Horn of Africa.
The UN has called for an immediate ceasefire of all hostilities.
According to the UN, 4,000 people a day are fleeing to Sudan from Ethiopia.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, has called for a humanitarian corridor to reach the 96,000 refugees and internally-displaced persons in refugee camps in Sudan and in northern Ethiopia.
The UN is already preparing to receive 200,000 refugees in Sudan. An old refugee camp, that served during the 1984 famine, is sadly brought in use again.
The UN secretary general, António Guterres, has stated the hope that "Ethiopia will be able to find the peace it needs for its development and the wellbeing of its people."
This crisis rightly has the full attention of the African continent.
The chair of the African Union, Cyril Ramaphosa, has appointed three elderly statespersons as envoys: Joaquim Chissano, former president of the Republic of Mozambique; Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, former president of the Republic of Liberia, and Kgalema Motlanthe, former president of the Republic of South Africa – as special envoys of the African Union. Their efforts should be supported.
Unfortunately, the military interventions are not the only problem in the region.
After the lost harvest due to the destruction by locust swarms, food reserves are in severe jeopardy.
The conflict is now contributing to an already dire situation.
A new famine of most severe proportions is looming. The current crisis comes on top of the Covid-19 pandemic, leaving children out of school for six months already. It affects tens of thousands of children in precarious situations, often separated from parents and guardians.
Ethiopia is globally renowned for its world cultural heritage representing one of the oldest human civilisations of which Ethiopians and Africans are rightly proud.
The UNESCO world heritage site in Aksum, other heritage sites and religious centres are now under threat. This tragedy is compounded by a terrible loss of innocent lives, sexual violence and a destabilising refugee crisis.
This regional crisis in the Horn of Africa requires the immediate attention of the EU at the highest level. The EU should call on the experience of statespersons to contribute as high-level envoys to the efforts of the African Union and the UN.

Birtukan says:
The ceasefire is absoultely takes Ethiopia to another civil war. The TPLF who rules the country for the last 30 years has divided Ethiopia, creating tensions, killing inncoent civilians including children, pregnant women in different parts of Ethiopia, imprisoned those who opposes the regime, supporting groups like Oromo Liberation Front to kill the Amhara ethnic group, took the fertile lands of of Amhara by force, give an injection to the Amhara women so that they cannot be fertile, cut penis and so on. Words and time are not enough to mention those crimes commited by TPLF. I am telling you the truth that Ethiopian people will be killed and tortured again if TPLF still remains in power. Almost all Ethiopians need this law enforcement. They are a terriorist. They are a few but killing everybody. For the last 30 years, they accumulated lots of guns and weapens. Whether you believ or not, within 6 months, 1000 civilians living in Benishangul Gumuz have been killed by some groups who have been sponsered by TPLF. In addition, during this law enforcement, TPLF killed hundredes of innocent civilians mainly Amhar in Tigray region at Maycadira, who were working as a wage labourer in Tigray farms. So, if we all want to restore Ethiopia's unity, glory and peace, please do not push them to stop the law enforcement, unless we are going to get into civila war like Rwanda. This will be our fate. If the government did not start this law enforcement, i would absoultely tell you that all the Ethiopian people will engage into civil war. Thank you for your time
I dont know Why you people try to give time for a terrerist by pushing the Ethiopian legitimategovernment to make a peace dialog with TPLF? They are criminals and atleast tell us if there is a country who is willing to negotiat with a terrerist. Leave us alone to bring peace in the right way since we beleive our federal government doing, low enforcement, in the right way.
Nani says:
only forces from heaven can save them now! it's over they should be able to accept the punishment since they didn't hesitate to commit those horrific crimes.

Tennessee Updates COVID-19 Business Guidance: Economic Recovery Group Updates TN Pledge
Nearly 200 Tennessee Businesses Complete Training for their Healthy Business Certification
Recently, Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee's Economic Recovery Group (ERG) issued updated guidance Friday for businesses and other activities under the Tennessee Pledge. The updates follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and maintain emphasis on key preventative measures such as mask wearing, social distancing and frequent disinfection. The guidance are not mandates and are established to guide business reopening guidelines and follow executive orders signed by Tennessee Governor Bill Lee earlier last week, extending the State of Emergency through the end of October. The Tennessee Chamber has played a key role in the recovery efforts, helping to provide key input into the Tennessee Pledge and have served as a member of Governor Lee's ERG. "On behalf of Tennessee's business community, we greatly appreciate Governor Lee's leadership and our ERG in establishing safe protocols to open our economy and ensure economic growth" noted Tennessee Chamber President Bradley Jackson. "Our businesses have gone to great lengths to put in place strong measures to protect their employees, customers, and communities," said Gov. Lee. "The updated Tennessee Pledge enables businesses to better sustain best practices with foundational pieces that help lead to healthy communities and open businesses." The updated and streamlined guidance aligns with recent amendments to state-issued Executive Orders and enable Tennessee businesses to operate with more flexibility where social distancing protocols remain in place. The Economic Recovery Group (ERG), composed of 30 leaders from the public and private sector along with health experts, and include Tennessee Chamber President Bradley Jackson and other business leaders to provide essential input. With input from the business community, the Tennessee Pledge was established to assist businesses in a safe reopening. The Tennessee Chamber is proud to have been an integral part of the ERG's creation and group discussion early in the pandemic. The industry representatives participating in the ERG collectively represent over 140,000 Tennessee businesses that employ over 2.5M Tennesseans. More information about ERG is available here.

Following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana (Divorce Italian Style's Stefania Sandrelli) as she chases her dreams in the Rome of La dolce vita, I Knew Her Well is at once a delightful immersion in the popular music and style of Italy in the sixties and a biting critique of its sexual politics and the culture of celebrity. Over a series of intimate episodes, just about every one featuring a different man, a new hairstyle, and an outfit to match, the unsung Italian master Antonio Pietrangeli, working from a script he cowrote with Ettore Scola, composes a deft, seriocomic character study that never strays from its complicated central figure. I Knew Her Well is a thrilling rediscovery, by turns funny, tragic, and altogether jaw-dropping.

exceptional fundraising effort.According to old people in the village, the idea to build a chapel in Niouc had already been discussed between 1910 and 1920.
In 1924, an account for the Chapel of Niouc was opened with a capital of 2000 francs, but it was not until 1947 and the arrival of the priest Adrien Bonvin that the project was restarted. The committee put great energy into convincing the municipal council of Saint-Luc to go forward with the project. The Consortage of Niouc offered wood for the frame of the building and the stained glass window representing Saint-Luc.
Many volunteers helped to build the Chapel, completed in 1952. It is thanks to this popular momentum that the chapel was completed and then blessed in 1953.
The sacristy was beautifully equipped, almost entirely through donations from the Sisters of Géronde and the Sion Hospital. The mural at the entrance porch, the stained glass and the painting representing Saint-Anne, protector of the valley, were executed by Alfredo Cini from Sierre in 1951-1952. The Baroque altar dates from 1753 and comes from the Ayer Chapel dismantled during the creation of the square near the Maison bourgeoisiale. When the person who had acquired the altar learned that the inhabitants of Niouc planned the construction of a chapel, she donated it to the town of Saint-Luc, so that it could remain in Anniviers.
Walk along the road past the café, and stop near the former school building.

Four years ago, a friend asked her if she was interested in receiving a loan from Compartamos Banco. At first she was reluctant, but after thinking about it for a few weeks, she accepted the loan. That's how she entered a group called La Fuerza de la Lucha (The Strength of the Battle). Rosario not only liked the financial benefits of having a loan, but also enjoyed sharing experiences with women like her who struggle everyday and face the same problems. After paying off her first loan, four months later, she invited her daughter to join. Her mother, Rosa, also owned a restaurant just across the road and they invested the money from the loans in a new refrigerator and maintenance such as fixing the water pipes. However, by that time, they already knew that Rosa was seriously ill with diabetes. Rosario, who looked after her mother, was advised to buy additional life insurance coverage from Compartamos Banco. She decided to acquire extra protection for a total of $10,000.
Six years ago, Compartamos created various focus groups to help identify the needs of its clients. The MFI found that when a member of a low-income family passed away the loss would affect the household's cash flow for at least 18 months. This realization helped Compartamos to develop a simple insurance policy that does not have exclusions. After a fatality, the policy is paid after 48 hours on average. The simplicity and speed of receiving financial assistance during a time of grief has made it a complete success. By the end of 2010, Compartamos had about 2 million policies and 800,000 (about 40%) of the total are voluntary life insurance policies. This is a good example of how financial products give clients the opportunity to plan and structure their future. It also highlights the strong needs and demands of even the poorest people in Mexico that are often overlooked and disregarded because we might mistakenly assume a product such as life insurance is only beneficial to the wealthy. But the reality is that the demand is there by the millions.
Nowadays, Mrs. Chayo, as she is called by her beloved ones, suggests to all her friends at La Fuerza de la Lucha to buy extra life insurance modules. One of her daughters now runs the restaurant across the road. Although they continue to mourn the loss of Rosa, they are grateful for the financial cushion provided by the life insurance and she is confident of what the future will bring to them. "The pineapple season is in bloom and the businesses are doing well", she says. "I open both restaurants at 5 AM every day and we close whenever the last client leaves. That's what Rosa would have done..."


Concerned you're overspending? A team of professors at the University of Chicago and the University of Maryland are too, and they set out to discover if peer pressure can help.
Professor Michael Weber at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Professors Alberto Rossi and Francesco D'Acunto at the Smith School of Business of the University of Maryland today revealed the results of an independent study on the effects of peer pressure on spending, with very positive, significant findings. This news is significant because when people using the website Status Money (www.statusmoney.com) found out they were spending more than their peers, they reduced their spending by an average of $600/month. Currently, more than half of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings and 17% have negative net worth. Peer pressure could combat what some experts are calling a debt epidemic.
The team of professors approached Status Money and analyzed the spending habits of more than 6,000 users of Status Money's personal finance platform from September 2017 to April 2018. They wanted to determine how behavior changed when users realized they were spending more or less than their peers. Status Money helps people make smarter financial decisions by tracking all their accounts and showing them how their finances compare with anonymous peers. Its free service, Status, is the first to enable users to benchmark and manage their spending and saving versus peers – in categories ranging from shopping and gas to groceries and restaurants. Its algorithms also continuously analyze users' accounts and provide personalized recommendations in natural language to help users save money.
The lowest income groups on Status changed their behaviors the most, confirming that access to data about peer spending and opportunities for saving have the biggest effect on those who may be least sophisticated about money matters. Those in the lowest income group (earning $40,000/year on average) reduced their spending as a percent of monthly income by 19%, while those in the highest income group reduced their spending by 10%.
The average Status Money user reduced their spending as a percent of monthly income by a seasonally adjusted 7% after joining. Users who learned they were spending more than their peer group drastically reduced their spending by an average of 23%.
The change in spending behavior was caused by the perceived difference between the user and their Status peer group – so users who were spending a lot more than their peers reduced their spending most aggressively.
Regardless of their income level, users who found out they were spending more than their peers reduced their spending. That said, lower income users were able to reduce their spending more aggressively.
Users who were spending more than their peers reduced their spending in discretionary categories (such as restaurants, entertainment, shopping, and travel) by a seasonally adjusted average of 19%, and in non-discretionary categories (such as housing and loans) by 1%.
Those who were underspending their peers modestly increased their spending by a seasonally adjusted average of 1%.

*Disclaimer: This post is based on personal experience and may not work for every artist. The formula used takes into account US pricing and may not translate to international markets.
Art is an odd thing. Pieces that take days of work–intricate landscapes and lifelike portraits–can sell for $50 at a flea market. Pieces that look simple and take less time to complete can sell for thousands in galleries. Travel to another part of the world and the reverse may be true. Mind you, regardless of perceived monetary value, all this art still involves skill, technique, and creativity, and thus deserves respect.
Art is a fluid idea. Its value changes depending on who is looking at it, where you are, the history of the artist, the story of the piece, and more. There really isn't a universal monetary value to what you create. Which makes assigning a dollar amount to your work very frustrating, and sometimes confusing. I've been there.
I've put a lot of guesswork into pricing my art over the years. Trial and error. Haphazard market testing, if you will. I've been using a common formula with some added calculations for my pricing. It's not an exact science. It might not work for everyone, but it's a place to start.
If you are already an accomplished artist with many sales under your belt–this post probably isn't for you, but I would love your feedback on the formula to see it if is accurate to your experiences.
This formula is really common in the art world, but figuring out the right price per square inch can be a bit confusing. Lucky for you, I've created an assessment that will help you figure out the right price.
Using a variety of factors, I have created five artist 'levels' with price ranges that includes discounted prices, regularly priced pieces, and premium priced pieces.
All artists have to start somewhere. Even if your skills are out of this world right at the beginning, you likely will under charge until you grow a following and establish your brand. If you can make sales immediately at a high price, kudos to you! Get that money.
The levels I have created are intended to assess where you are in your career based on a variety of factors, and not just how skilled you are as an artist or how 'good' your art is.
To determine your level you'll need to evaluate quite a few variables like: What kind of artist are you? Where do you plan to sell your work? How common is your art style? How big is your following? How many successful sales have you made? How skilled are you? How unique is your style? What kind of art does the market want?
A lot of this is incredibly subjective, butI've created a handy little assessment that will give you a rough idea of where you are in your artistic journey, but remember this is not a hard and fast rule for how you should price your work. This is a tool that should only be used to give you an estimate that you can completely ignore if you don't like the results.
Level One: You're an art dabbler. You don't really know your style yet, but love to create. Maybe you do this as a hobby and don't really need to make sales. You don't have a following yet and you will maybe try selling on Etsy or at a local flea market to see if people like your art as much as you do.
Level Two: You want to be a professional artist, but maybe just part time. Maybe you're okay with just making enough to pay for art supplies. You're likely selling to family and friends at the moment. You have developed your skills, have started to find your style, have made a couple of sales, and you just started to think about pushing to grow your online following. The world is your oyster! Chase those artsy dreams!
Level Three: Your style is developing nicely and you still practice your skills often. Your social media following is starting to take off and you are thinking about taking the leap to do this full time, maybe even enter some juried group shows or art fairs.
Level Four: You've made a lot of sales and your social media presence keeps growing. You are thinking about applying to more prestigious art fairs and get into a gallery for a solo show soon, if you haven't already participated. You've developed your unique style and people have started to recognize your work upon first glance. Go you! You're killing it!
Do you feel the assessment was accurate? If so, continue on. If not, pick which level you feel is more accurate.
Now that you know your Level, look at the ranges on the chart below to see the prices per square inch to consider. Again, this is all very subjective. You may be in a level above or below where you scored on the assessment. And just to be clear, this assessment does not determine how awesome your art is! It's a nonjudgmental tool that is limited in its ability to serve all artists.
Once you know what your average piece will cost, slide up and down the scale to price your most expensive pieces and your lowest discounted prices.
If you frame your work, add this fee on top of the calculated price above. If you make your frame, factor in the labor and also add that on top. This calculation only determines the base price of your raw piece of art.
These tools are just to help you get an idea of how to price your work. I'm not trying to definitively tell you what your art is valued at. I want you to test out one of your pieces in the formula above and review the next few points.
Does it Cover Your Costs?
Estimate the material costs or your piece (paint, paper, canvas, etc.). Does this formula cover your investment AND leave a decent profit? If not, you may be in the wrong level, or you're spending WAY too much on art supplies at the moment.
Does the price match up to what artists similar to you are selling their work for?
Check out events that you want to sell at. Talk to other artists. Research listings on Etsy. The economy and market saturation of similar products will have an effect on what you can charge for your art. You may need to adjust your formula a bit to account for this.
If you start out selling your work at craft and art fairs, and then upgrade to a gallery and have to increase your prices to account for the commission fee–this is your new base price per square inch. Even outside of the gallery. Consider it like reaching a new milestone. If you do another art fair after successfully selling at a gallery, apply a visible discount to this price instead of just lowering it to account for the market shift.
Beware of under-pricing your work once you've moved into a new level.
I have attempted to give my art away. When I first started out, I undervalued my work drastically, because I was desperate to make sales. Once my following started to grow, I received a lot of "You don't charge enough for your work," types of comments. It seems odd, but you can actually miss out on sales, because a low price might indicate low quality.
Beware of over-charging for your work to match other artists.
Your work may be similar to another artist with a larger following, but you may have a harder time selling at the same price point. Larger artists have spent a lot of time building their brand and a sense of trust with their audience. It takes time to get out what you put into your art, but be patient! It's worth it.
Price your art to be able to apply discounts without sacrificing profit.
When I started my online site, I decided what my average price was, but I knew I couldn't sell my work for that price where I live. It's a predominantly blue collar place. Art is appreciated in my town, but you can't force people to justify paying their rent vs buying a new piece of art. So, I created discount labels that still display my regular online store price, but made it clear my customers were getting a deal. This also helps your sales for those events. You create a 'buy now or miss out!' type of urgency.
If a customer feels like you treated them really well with the first discounted purchase they made, they are much more likely to save for your higher priced pieces.
When can you increase your prices and establish a new constant?
Play around with your pricing for about a year at a time. If your art style, following, or sales numbers don't change much in that time you may not be ready to adjust pricing (This could also mean you may be priced too high or you need to evaluate your self promotion tactics). Even though pricing is subjective and fluid, you still want to be able to explain the changes and not scare off customers.
If you suddenly have so many requests for art that you can't keep up with demand–it's time to increase your prices.
I hope this was helpful for any new artists out there! Since I started using this formula, my life as gotten easier.
Let me know your thoughts on the formula below! Do you feel it was accurate? Did it give you an idea of where to start?
Thanks for reading and check out my previous posts for more artsy goodness.
I'm a "level 3″ artist by your quiz standards (seems pretty accurate!) And love how much this article covered.
I find LxWxPrice doesn't work on my very small pieces (4×4 or smaller) not the largest ones (36" And more) because the prices change exponentially. I use L+W x Price and change my price accordingly. I find that's more consistent and keeps covering my costs/time 🙂 just an idea!
Emilia, thanks so much for reading! I totally agree that the pricing structure might not work the best for the extreme ends of the sizing spectrum. I'm glad that for the most part the assessment was accurate for you!
I loved this topic it is super helpful for a new artist. The only confusing part was what number is put into the "Artist Constant" in the calculator is that where you put the price per inch or the level we got from the assessment?
Whoops! My apologies. I had made some edits and swapped out "Artist's Constant" for "Price per Square Inch" and missed that label! Yes, that's where you'd enter price per square inch. Thank you!
I needed this!! Thank you!!!
Really well-written. I love that you put so much thought into really precise analysis, breakdown, and easy-to-understand explanations of the concepts in your blogs! Thanks for doing this and being so generous.
Thank you Kelly for an informative and easy to follow post! Loads of useful information and factors I hadn't even considered so well done and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I recently had to create a custom VM based on Debian 7.0.
Then you need to create a VM with a fixed VHD, I'd recommend to size it at 30 GB to make is fast enough to upload and still large enough to handle any future updates but this is your call at the end of the day. The maximum that you can have is 127 GB. This is how it looks on Hyper-V.
Then proceed with the installation of your distribution of Debian, including the default disk partitioning. In my case, I have selected the default configuration all the way until the selection of roles.
For the selection of roles, I've unselected the "Debian desktop environment" and "Print Server" and added the "SSH server". Once the VM is in Azure, SSH will be the only way to access and configure it so make sure you add this.
Wait until the end of the installation and you are ready to proceed to the next step.
First we need to modify the kernel configuration to ensure that the console messages are redirected to the first serial port.
This should create a WALinuxAgent directory where you have launched the command.
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=2048 ## NOTE: set this to whatever you need it to be.
and then shutdown the VM.
Make sure that you adjust according to your environment the destination url and the local file path. The upload will take some time depending on your network bandwidth.
Once the vhd file has been uploaded, you can create your azure image. Under the "Virtual Machine" section, select the "Images" tab.
Then click "create" and fill the fields. The VHD URL points to the file that you have just uploaded.
Your image is ready to be used as any supported Azure images from the gallery under "My Images" to create a new VM in Azure.

Twitter Users Suggest Gov. Walz May Not Be In Minnesota, Is He?
Paul Shea Published: March 18, 2021

The news that Gov. Walz would be quarantining for the next 10-days, and delaying the State of the State address by a few days come out yesterday. Also coming out yesterday via a video tweeted by the Governor was the speculation that maybe the Governor really wasn't still in Minnesota as a window in the background showed what appeared to be a tree with leaves blowing in the wind.
The video is Gov. Walz making the announcement he would be "working remotely" after sharing a room with a staffer who tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday.
Behind the Gov, sits a window that is looking outdoors. To some, the tree outside the window seems to show leaves rather than needles on it, in a satellite overview of the Governor's Mansion there does appear to be a pine tree in what would appear to be the corner of the mansion where the Governor may have recorded that message.
Image Credit Google Maps
I circled the area where you could have gotten a green tree in March with where it appears Gov. Walz is in the video.
But many on the video tweet have pointed out other areas of bright green seen over the course of the video. It is Spring Break in Minnesota too...
So is he in Minnesota? I reached out to the Governor's Office about the questions as to where he might be if he isn't in Minnesota, I'll update this if and when I hear back. Let me know where you think the Governor is in the comments.
10 Dangerous Things to Say to a Minnesotan

Wash and chop the mint.
Boil the broth with 1 pinch of salt.
Throw in the rice and cook for 20 minutes.
In the meantime, peel the cucumber, wash the tomato, peel the onion.
In a salad bowl season them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Add salt and pepper and sprinkle with half of the chopped mint.
In a bowl, mix the flour in a little water and pour the mixture into the broth.
Add the mint and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the egg yolk with the yogurt. Mix well.
Serve the Turkish yogurt soup along with the cucumber salad and the mint tomato.
Favour whole grain products as they contain more fibres.


And have a pleasant life in town.
With gracious converse for you all.
And feast my eyes on costumes rich.
And sate your eyes in sweet amaze!
Will surely come his life to bless!
Her joy was never done.
By want and sorrow wrung.
That she for work should seek.
And worked, hard times to evade.
And surely must not lack it.
A lonely blade of grass.
And like a flower full-blown!
And stored up trousseaux good.
But did not give it to him.
By beaten paths they came.
To come into the camp.
Four from one home were checked.
And she was left behind.
May be begrudged the poor!
Where with the troops he slaved.
And still she does not hear.
No news at all. What could she do?
Begging from door to door.
Inert beside the village gate.
By which all travellers came.
Her Cossack, pale with woe.
And in the grove the maid.
Then wailings loud did fling.
And none had ever seen him.
And does not weep to keen him.
Or wailing out her woes.

Nice post, Farha. I also reviewed some other universities rather than ones I picked and you are right. It seems like most universities, if not all, chose the same group of words to state their missions. As you mentioned diversity, innovation or discovery and so. The other point is the emphasis of the connection to the world and not just the local and regional aspects. To my point, this part of the globalization of the statement gives a worldwide validity to the universities. The message that not only we care about our local and country, but we also include the whole world in our community.
Again as you mentioned, it triggers a question if they are successful to fulfill the goals which are aimed in the statements?
Hello Houri, thank you for you thoughtful comment. I agree with what you have said in here: "not only we care about our local and country, but we also include the whole world in our community". Therefore, having the aspect of global focus in the mission statement of an educational institute makes it appealing. And the emphasis of it is becoming more and more important and prevalent in the 21st century education.
